Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 464: Cao Cao sends troops
"I'll try my best." Liu Ye said with a hand. He had just taken refuge with Cao Cao. If he could build this thing, he would definitely be taken seriously. The Han Dynasty was declining. As a member of the declining Han Dynasty clan, he was also very fond of Cao Cao.
Good news.
"Now that the Bingzhou Army has broken through Jiguan, its front is pointing directly to the east of Hedong. If the Bingzhou Army takes over Hedong, it will march into Yin, Henan, and Hongnong's force will have to be defended." Cao Cao sighed.
Xi Ce cupped his hands and said: "My lord, people in Hedong are in panic now. If we can send elite soldiers and generals to Hedong to help, we will definitely be able to attract Hedong to join us."
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "By the time our army defeats Hongnong, I am afraid that the Bingzhou Army has already captured Hedong. With the elites of the Bingzhou Army, how can we give up Hedong to me? Moreover, I have already formed an alliance with Bingzhou, so it is not appropriate to stay here."
At that time, we fell out with Bingzhou, and Jingzhou also had prosperous farming for a long time."
"My lord can send troops to Yin, Henan, so that the Bingzhou army does not dare to cross the Yellow River and invade the land of Yanzhou." Xi Ce said, the momentum of the Bingzhou army was shocking. After unknowingly occupying Hanoi, it moved at an extremely fast speed.
After breaking through Jiguan, if they were to occupy Hedong again, how could Li Jue and Guo Si be Lu Bu's opponents? How terrifying would it be for the Bingzhou Army to possess Hanoi, Hedong, and Chang'an?
Once the Bingzhou Army occupied Hedong, they only had to cross the Yellow River to attack Henan Yin, which borders Yanzhou. This was the most disadvantageous to Yanzhou. Even if they had an alliance with Lu Bu, they did not want such a strong neighbor.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Cao Ren and Xun You led 10,000 soldiers and horses to capture Yin and Hongnong in Henan. Be careful of the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou. Regarding matters in the army, Zixiao would like to ask Gongda for advice."
"Here." Cao Ren and Xun You said, cupping their fists.
"My lord is attacking Yin, Henan, the land of Hongnong. You should be on guard against your Majesty's troops. Jingzhou and Hongnong are close. How can your Majesty sit back and watch your lord occupy it?" Xi Ce reminded.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Hongnong and Henan Yin have been in war for a long time and the people are exhausted. I will report this to the Holy Emperor."
Xi Ce nodded slowly. The situation in Jingzhou is not very good now. Even if Liu Biao intends to capture Hongnong and Henan Yin, he may not have enough troops in his hands. It may not be a good opportunity for Yanzhou.
"I have to say that the Marquis of Jin is indeed a man of ingenious ideas. He can even think of the use of locusts." Cao Cao laughed at the thought of using locusts to solve the problem of food and grass for the army.
The civil servants and generals in the hall have more or less heard about the food and grass incident in the army, but they will not disclose this matter to the officers below. Firstly, it is too shocking, and secondly, it is not good.
Explain to the soldiers.
Compared with Bingzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, where locusts gather, collect more locusts, and the price of two pounds per qian is easily accepted by the people. After all, there are so many locusts that one person can easily catch them.
to two to three hundred pounds of locusts.
The army no longer has food to worry about. As for the people who have suffered the disaster and cannot survive, they will go to other states and counties. What Cao Cao wants to ensure is that the army has enough food and grass. He wants to obtain greater gains under the impact of this locust disaster.
For the benefit of Cao Cao, seizing Shouchun was only the first step in Cao Cao's plan. Seizing Shouchun not only stood at the highest point of righteousness and gained recognition from the people of the world, but at this time Liu Biao was the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shu was the rebel.
Thief, after defeating Yuan Shu, Cao Cao's achievements cannot be erased by Liu Biao. The second step is to capture Yin and Hongnong in Henan. Although these two places have experienced wars for a long time, they are rich places. As long as they are stabilized, they can be
Getting a large amount of food and grass was of great significance to Cao Cao.
The last step is to attack Xuzhou. Since the hatred between the two is very deep, Cao Cao has no intention of letting Liu Bei live freely in Xuzhou so easily. He wants to drive Liu Bei out of Xuzhou. While in Jingzhou, the conflicts between Liu Biao and Liu Bei
Naturally, he could see the trick. Since Liu Bei and Liu Biao are very close, Cao Cao can't keep Liu Bei. After capturing Xuzhou, Cao Cao can also free up his hands to deal with Hua Xiong, and then plot Qingzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
With the four states connected together, even if Liu Biao wanted to act rashly, he would have to think carefully.
As for attacking Hanoi and Hedong, Cao Cao has no such idea for the time being. As expected, Hanoi and Hedong will be occupied by Lu Bu. He and Lu Bu are allies, and they must continue to maintain their alliance.
After a moment of silence, Cao Cao said: "Xuzhou and I have an sworn hatred. I want to attack Xuzhou. What do you think?"
Xun Yu stepped forward and said: "My lord, Liu Bei, the pastor of Xuzhou, has personally recognized by the Holy Master that Tao Qian is dead. If we attack Xuzhou, we will have no name."
Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Master came from Wuming? My father died in Xuzhou. Even if Tao Qian died, it would not be enough to relieve my hatred."
Xun Yu was silent. He didn't know that this was Cao Cao's excuse to capture Xuzhou. Even if Cao Ren and Xun You took away 10,000 troops to attack Yin and Hongnong in Henan, Yanzhou still had 40,000 troops available.
Not only Cao Cao, but also Yuan Shao also learned about Bingzhou's method of resolving the refugee crisis. However, the disaster suffered by Jizhou was not serious. He did not adopt this method and feed on locusts. After all, it was too appalling. At the same time, Yuan Shao ordered people to secretly
Bingzhou spread the news that there were locusts in the grain for Bingzhou's army and the food for the refugees. Although it caused a brief panic, it was not a big surprise after being reassured by the officials, especially when officials from the state pastoral office showed up and ate with the refugees.
Later, these rumors were self-defeating.
Let us say that Zhao Yun led five thousand soldiers and horses to march directly to Dayang. When the army arrived outside Dayang City, Dayang guard Cheng Mu thought he was brave. He ignored the dissuasion of his generals and the orders of the prefect, and ordered three thousand soldiers and horses in the city to go out to fight.
.
When attacking a city, the general defender has three options. The most cowardly option is to abandon the city and flee. This situation basically occurs when the enemy breaks through the state or county government. The second option is to go out of the city and deploy troops to fight the enemy to the death.
, even if you are defeated, you can still retreat to the city. The third way is to defend the city, but there are very disadvantages in defending the city. Faced with the siege of the enemy, the people in the city may be unable to survive.
If there is sufficient food and grass, it is better to have reinforcements coming. Otherwise, it is an isolated city. The generals who sit in the isolated city often end up not very good, but they can bring the greatest harm to the enemy.
Cheng Mu had been stationed in Dayang for many years and had experienced a lot of wars. When the surrounding bandits heard the arrival of the army, they all fled. However, he had not been reused in Hedong and wanted to make some achievements. After Jiguan was broken,
He felt that his opportunity had come. He only needed to defeat the Bingzhou Army, and then his position in Hedong would be unshakable, and he would even become the number one in the Hedong Army.
