Han Xiang

Chapter 348 Additional Plans in Plans

"No? Who would that be?"

Han Hao reminded Guo Jia with doubts: "They are very similar in age and appearance."

Guo Jia shook his head slightly: "If you pretend to be deliberately, it's not difficult to dress up, and besides Long Xiang in Huainan, only Sun Quan can send so many soldiers."

"But Jiangdong's soldiers and horses were vulnerable before. Today's 5000 people are simply unexpected. It's hard to believe that they are also Jiangdong's soldiers and horses. What's the point of doing so?" Han Hao frowned, unable to solve the doubt in his heart.

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said meaningfully: "The army controlled by Sun Quan is actually Yuan Shu's old army. It is normal to have low combat effectiveness, but the real power of Jiangdong is in the hands of the governor Zhou Yu. The 5000 people may be reinforcements from Guangling. "

"In that case, it is"

Han Hao swallowed his saliva and did not continue.

After listening to the discussion between the two, Cao Cao nodded affirmatively to Guo Jia: "What Feng Xiaoshi just said agrees with my opinion. It must be that Zhou Yu has arrived. I heard that this person is not dealing with Long Xiang, and he used some means to drag Hefei into trouble. Within reason."

Han Hao anxiously asked: "Since the lord has seen through it, is there a way to deal with it?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said: "Since the victory in Xiang'an and Sun Quan's escape, the warships on the Yangtze River have disappeared. It seems that they don't intend to save Sun He. I thought Sun Quan retreated to the Jiangdong mainland. I just heard Feng Xiao's analysis. Now we can determine the location of Jiangdong's main force."

"Where is it?" Han Hao opened his eyes wide.

Cao Cao pointed his finger at the location of Chaohu Lake on the map, but looked at Jia Xu who was smiling all over his face.

"The 5000 people today seem to have come from Hefei, but it is more likely that they landed from Chaohu Lake. Sun Quan should be hiding in the lake at this time. The current situation is very similar to Wenhe's inference. It is just that Sun Quan suffered a disastrous defeat in Xiang'an, so it may not be possible. Dare to attack Shouchun."

Jia Xu changed his strategy during this time, and he no longer pretended to be deep and loved to hide from the side. Instead, he often stayed by Cao Cao's side with a smile on his face.

At this time, Cao Cao had seen Sun Quan's intentions, so Jia Xu actively stepped forward to add nonsense: "Zhou Yu sent someone to pretend to be Long Xiang, let us turn our attention to Hefei, then Minggong will definitely divide his troops to the northwest of Chaohu Lake. In the future, no matter whether the food is cut off or the rear is cut off, they can use warships to haunt Chaohu Lake, and then they will be passive."

Cao Cao pointed at Jia Xu and nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "Wen He's opinion is the same as mine. Our boats are parked in the Huai River, and even if we sail into Chaohu Lake, we are no match for Zhou Yu. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu rely on Chaohu Lake to attack and defend. It is difficult to be anxious. In the picture, if according to Wenhe's previous plan, the Ruxu River will be blocked and he will be trapped in Huainan, but there are not enough people in the Lujiang counties, do you have any other ways to break the situation?"

"I didn't expect that there are so few people in the Lujiang River. It is obviously useless to fill up the river. If Sun Quan and Zhou Yu withdraw from Huainan, Duke Ming can take the Wan County with all his strength, and the initiative is still in his hand when to withdraw the troops; It becomes complicated, the key is how to lead the soldiers and horses in Chaohu Lake ashore.”

Jia Xu was answering on the surface, but in fact he was repeating the difficulties and asking questions, and he looked at Guo Jia from time to time while speaking, as if saying that you often have a trick to offer, and now the opportunity has come again.

Cao Cao was also very distressed at this time. He brought 4 elite soldiers and came here in light clothes. He wanted to concentrate his forces to defeat the Jiangdong army, but because Sun Quangou could not come out in Chaohu, he had to divide the [-] people into several places, but Cao Cao was not worried about being defeated one by one. In addition to Cao Jun's strong individual combat effectiveness, his battlefield layout is also very particular.

The Cao army scattered in Huainan now has Shouchun and Shuxian as the two centers in the north and the south, and 4 people are deployed in the two center cities.

Among them, there are more than 3 soldiers around Shouchun. In addition to the north gate of Huainan in Shouchun, another important task is to protect the grain road; there are nearly [-] people around Shu County, a small part of which is used to besiege Wan County, and the rest is the main force. Personal command; once there is a problem in the north and south, the soldiers will move closer to the central point, so as to reduce the losses caused by emergencies.

Seeing that Jia Xu had nothing to do, Guo Jia walked up to Cao Cao confidently, and suggested with a smile: "Since Sun Quan lured us to Hefei, why didn't Minggong use his tricks? We might as well send troops to Hefei on purpose to lure Jiangdong soldiers to come ashore to attack immediately after the interruption, or Detour the Yangtze River to save Wan County, this will definitely create opportunities for war."

"Makes sense."

As soon as Cao Cao heard it, he used his tricks again, thinking that Guo Fengxiao liked this the most, but he had to say that he offered another clever trick.

He shook his eyes and thought about it carefully, and he also thought of a plan, so he couldn't help but share it with everyone: "According to Fengxiao's thinking, there are more than 3000 soldiers around Shu County, so just leave [-] people with them." I will guard the city, and the rest will go to Hefei with great fanfare, I wonder if Sun Quan and Zhou Yu can resist using myself as bait?"

"Probably not."

When Jia Xu and Guo Jia were thinking, Han Hao was the first to stand up and agree.

The more Cao Cao talked, the more vigorous he was, and he continued, "You can order the soldiers to march as far as possible to the west, away from Chaohu Lake, so as not to give the rats a chance to attack, and before approaching Hefei, let the main force turn to the west and circle around from the north side of Zipeng Mountain. Returning to Shucheng, no matter whether Sun Quan and Zhou Yu come to attack Shucheng or rescue Wancheng, they will definitely suffer a big loss, this is an added plan."

"Duke Ming thinks far and wide, Zhou Yu must not notice, the victory of this battle has been decided in advance."

Jia Xu nodded again and again, he admired Cao Cao from the bottom of his heart, and believed that in terms of the ability to use troops, he was unmatched by all princes in the world.

Seeing Jia Xu's sincere flattery, Cao Cao responded proudly by stroking his beard, saying that other princes would not be able to win immediately as a strategist, and I, Cao, was also a top strategist.

"Duke Ming's plan is indescribable." Guo Jia bowed his hands solemnly, and said in a low voice, "I have another idea here. I can add another plan to the plan. If the plan is successful, it will help Duke Ming win the battle. win."

"Oh?" Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard it, and urged, "Feng Xiao, tell me quickly."

Guo Jia replied: "I don't think it is enough to transfer the soldiers of Shucheng. In order to show Minggong's anger towards Longxiang and his inevitable victory over Hefei, some of General Miaocai's grain guard army should be transferred away. It can attract Jiangdong soldiers and horses to rob grain."

Cao Cao shook his head and pursed his lips: "The soldiers of Shucheng can use Zipeng Mountain to move, but how can Miaocai's grain guard army move? There are not many soldiers under his command. If Sun Quan seizes the opportunity, maybe he can really rob me. Some food, this plan has certain risks.”

Guo Jia walked up to the map, pointed to a river and said, "Transporting grain by land requires a large number of soldiers and horses to escort it, and Sun Quan's sending troops to rob grain is just a small matter. Change to waterway transportation, let the grain transport ship go through Shaobei and enter Bishui to Longshu, and then transfer from Longshu land to Shuxian County. The distance seems to be a lot, but most of it has become a waterway, which can save a lot Many folks."

Cao Cao stared at Guo Jianing's eyebrows and thought, as if he understood the opponent's strategy.

If the south uses itself as bait, then the north uses food and grass as bait. The Jiangdong rats dare not go ashore to fight, but they are very confident in water and boat battles. .
