Chapter 1298: People's War Cao Cao rout
"Old cat, are you in charge of the mission?"
"And, hand in the mission, what about you? You are also handing in the mission?"
"Yes, this harvest is pretty good!"
"Cao Cao should be crying now! Being a traitor will not end well!"
"Haha, speaking of it, this unlimited robbery mission is really good! Unfortunately, the people over there can't take them away, so they can only drive them into the city!"
"This is the vicious place for Yuan Shao. These people have nothing. Cao Cao has to support them. Yuuguo and I have to support Yuan Shao. Have you ever calculated that almost 100,000 people will be whitewashed and rushed into the city in one day. Cao Cao can't cry anymore!"
"Yes, so, from the beginning, is this the purpose of this mission?"
"It should be, I don't know whose idea it was! It's a shame."
"What if he doesn't matter, this is Cao Cao's own responsibility. Who told him to cooperate with whom he doesn't have a good cooperation, but he just wants to cooperate with the Japanese pirates? This is to commit suicide!"
"Well, you can't live a life of your own sin!"
Now Cao Cao's territory is like a sieve leaking air everywhere. There are not many other people on Yuan Shao's side, but there are many strange people. The number of strange people supporting Cao Cao has always shown a decreasing trend. In addition, Cao Cao's territory has expanded, and the distribution density of strange people is lower, which is increasing and the other is increasing. However, the number of strange people on Yuan Shao's side is showing a growing momentum. Especially after Yuan Shao issued the unlimited plundering mission, the strange people flocked to northern Yanzhou to receive the mission crazily.
Unlimited plundering is legal robbery, and you can also get rewards for merit. This kind of good thing is not something you can do at any time.
Although Cao Cao later issued the corresponding order, the effect was not very good. Because Cao Cao's territory lacked war horses, it would be difficult for Yiren to build war horses. He had poor mobility and wanted to rob. That was simply to deliver vegetables!
On the contrary, on Yuan Shao's territory, the price of war horses dropped strangely.
Cao Cao had to be glad that Liu Bei, a fool, tied his hands and feet with his reputation. If Liu Bei did this, he would really not be able to stand it.
But even if Yuan Shao did this, Cao Cao could not stand it now!
From Taishan County to Jiyin County, there is a front line of hundreds of miles long. On the vast land, hundreds of millions of people with nothing were driven into the city. These hungry and cold people were unable to ignore them, but if they take care of these people, Cao Cao's war preparations were not enough.
Moreover, after the fall of Dongping and Fucheng, Wenyang and Liang Fu's advantage was flattened. The original good situation disappeared. On the contrary, Yuan Shao was gathering heavy troops in Ningyang. Once Ningyang was in trouble, Lu County would be in danger. Once Lu County was stopped, Ju Su had to give up Liang Fu and Wenyang in the north, and Xiahou Dun could only retreat to Mengyin.
It can be said that in northern Yanzhou, Cao Cao's situation is now very bad. In the final analysis, it is because Yan Xing lost Dongping. If he pursued it, it is the disastrous defeat of Xu Chu and Liang Xing.
Cao Cao stared at the map and pressed his temple hard, which made him feel a headache!
The Western Front is now very passive. Xun You fought very passively in Jiyin County. He just relied on the hard city to defend. Although he would not collapse for a while, he would inevitably suffer losses over time.
The same is true for himself. He was trapped in Chen County by Pang Yuan, who was full of tricks. Wei Yan was very active on the outside. Cooperating with Liu Bei, Ji Ling had to give up Zhao Ling and retreat to Steady and Strong. Xiahou Yuan was also entangled by Gao Lan and basically did nothing. It would be great to be able to defend Wuping.
Looking at the northern line again, Yuan Shao took the initiative to take the initiative. The alien army, which was like ant, has now made Cao Cao's body full of holes and blood flowing. If he continues to bleed like this, it would be quite dangerous!
"Zhicai"
"Lord, we underestimated the power of Yiren, and underestimated the power of Yiren!"
"Well, Zhicai doesn't need to defend Zhongkang. His mistake of underestimating the enemy must be severely punished. Liang Xing, Yan Xing and others will be punished for their defeats and failures."
Xi Zhicai coughed a few times, and seemed to be a little weak.
"The lord misunderstood. His subordinates have no intention of defending them. The rewards and punishments in the army are clear, which is what they should do. His subordinates mean that we have strategically underestimated the energy of Yiren. In a good situation, they turned the tables due to Yiren's factors. Moreover, the power of Yiren is so great that we all think it's difficult."
Xi Zhicai gasped for a while and continued: "At the time, it was rumored that Feng Xiao used scattered troops to annihilate millions of enemy troops on the battlefield in Yingzhou. His subordinates have always regarded it as exaggerated words by rumors. Now it seems that this is true. When the power of Yi Ren is fully utilized, it is really amazing!"
“We have aliens too”
"There is a big gap in quantity, and we can't form a numerical advantage in both sides, and it will be difficult to change the current passive situation for a while."
Cao Cao put down his hands, his fingers unconsciously frowned on the map?br />
"What should we do now?"
"Lord, the current solution is to shorten the front line and concentrate superior forces to take down one side first!"
"I know this, but how to shorten it? Now that we take a step back, the enemy will go further, and there is no such situation as reducing the territory and concentrating troops."
"Lord, what the subordinate means is that the situation of fighting on both sides must end." Xi Zhicai said with his eyes shiningly looking at Cao Cao.
"Is it like to make peace with Yuan Shao?"
"Lord, you can only be a real man if you can stretch or shrink!"
"This Zhicai thinks how far we can achieve, Yuan Shao can cease the war?"
"It's just a threat, just a temptation. Use Rencheng, Lu County and Taishan County as bait to induce Yuan Shao to cease the war, and at the same time threaten Yuan Shao to burn with him. With this huge benefit, I believe Yuan Shao will definitely hope that our army will fight with Liu Bei with all his might. On the one hand, he will have to digest the territory he has, and on the other hand, he can sit and watch the tiger fight. Yuan Shao won't want such a good thing!"
Cao Cao nodded slowly, but his brow did not stretch, but said hesitantly: "But these three counties have made Yuan Shao a waste of money. It also helped to increase Yuan Shao's strength. If Yuan Shao rests for one year next year, then "
"Lord. Now Yuan Shao has issued an unlimited robbery mission in this matter, and the people may be robbed without anything. These hungry and cold people who are hungry and hungry to feed are also a heavy burden for him. Doesn't Yuan Shao have to pay for raising them all winter and spring? And if you want to resume production, you need to invest more. Besides, the robbed goods can also be appropriately helped to supplement our army."
Cao Cao's eyebrows twitched and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is probably a detriment to reputation!"
"Lord. I heard that the Xiliang army has always been very poor in discipline and has not accepted the reorganization of our army. It is inevitable that these regrettable things will be done. As long as the lord strictly rectifies it afterwards, it will be a kind of encouragement and trust for the Xiliang generals!"
Cao Cao's eyes turned. Cao Cao fully understood the obscure statement of Xi Zhicai. This idea was really a killer, and it was so ruthless and cruel. Cao Cao was very satisfied with Xi Zhicai, who had always been gentle and elegant, which was enough to prove Xi Zhicai's loyalty to him.
Cao Cao nodded: "This strategy is feasible, but the premise is that Yuan Shao can accept the suggestion of a ceasefire."
"The lord always says that Yuan Shao is a man who does big things and cherishes his life. This shows that Yuan Shao is conservative in his mind. He is prone to forget his righteousness when he sees profit. He keeps such great interests in front of him. I believe that Yuan Shao will not let it go. As for what he will not matter after he eats it, as long as he eats this bait, it is equivalent to being disconnected from Liu Bei. When our army advances westward, Liu Bei will inevitably get into evil with Yuan Shao. If he manages well, he may be able to induce Yuan Shao to join forces with me to attack Liu Bei."
After saying this big speech, Xi Zhicai was a little embarrassed and sucked in big breaths, his face turned a little blue.
"It's reasonable! It's very possible, so let Yan Xiang run."
"Lord Yan Xiang is wise!"
Yuan Shao is full of energy at the city of Ningyang. Recently, Yuan Shao has been fighting very smoothly. At this rhythm, it may not be difficult to get back Mount Tai and Lu County.
Yuan Shao was quite displeased with Yan Xiang's arrival. Yan Xiang was once a retainer of the Yuan family, but later he first defected to Lu Bu and Cao Cao. Speaking of which, he was also a slave of the three surnames. Yuan Shao was very disgusted with such a person. Cao Cao deliberately sent such a person to laugh at him!
Yuan Shao, who was very proud, almost cut off Yan Xiang directly, but thinking about the practice of not killing the envoy, Yuan Shao decided to see Yan Xiang first. If Yan Xiang was inappropriate, he would immediately kill the Qiqiqi.
"The bus belongs to Yan Xiang, the assistant minister, to see Lord Yuan."
"Hmph, forgot, I didn't expect you to have the courage to come to see me. You are so brave!"
"The lord was joking. The subordinates came with the title of the emperor and were entrusted by the prime minister. Their duties had nothing to do with courage."
"Haha, what a man has nothing to do with courage. As a disciple of Yuan, you first took the Lord and surrendered to Lu. Lu Bu was defeated and then turned to Cao. What is the responsibility of a shameless person? It is really shameless!"
Yuan Shao shouted coldly, Yan Xiang's old face turned red, and he had no way to argue Yuan Shao's words.
"The emperor scolded him, the lower officials may have a conscience, but the lord died, and the lower officials have done their best. What's wrong with turning to the emperor? As for Lu Bu and Cao Cao, they are all ministers of the emperor and colleagues who are ministers in the same palace. How can they say shamelessly?"
"Questions! Shameless quibbling, tell me what you are going to do, and make it clear quickly, so that I can get rid of the rebellion for the Yuan family!"
Yan Xiang was sweating coldly behind her back, and Cao Cao was resentful to death. However, on the surface, she still had to pretend to be extremely calm, and even thoughts were violently turned in her head, thinking about how to save her life.
"Haha, the old official has never quipped it. This is the truth. It's the adult who kept saying that he wanted to give Yuan a grudge, but he colluded with Liu Bei, who killed his brother, and became an enemy with Prime Minister Cao, who avenged Yuan. Isn't this avenging his grudges and forgetting his righteousness when he sees profit? The adult himself is not right, so what's the reason to blame me!"
"You! Humph, what a sharp mouth! Well, let's talk about what you mean by this!"
Yan Xiang's fist hidden in her sleeve was clenched tightly, but she sneered disdainfully on her face:
Chapter completed!
