Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 202 2 Wants to Take Back What I Lost

In Xuchang in the spring season, the weather is changeable, just like life, the last moment was sunny, but now it is raining cats and dogs.

Cao Cao, who was hiding from the rain under the four-corner gazebo, reached out to catch the rainwater dripping from the corners of the eaves, feeling complicated.

On the stone table behind him was a bundle of bamboo slips, which was written by Miao Shang.

Hanoi has changed hands.

The stone that has been lying in the northwest for many years has finally been moved away today.

He was not overjoyed. In fact, at this moment, the civil strife in the north, Lu Bu entered Qingzhou, Jing Xiang was too busy to take care of himself, and even Sun Ce started the journey to Jiaozhou, and no one could stop him from taking Hanoi.

Hanoi is only a county, with [-] soldiers and horses, Cao Cao can break it with his fingers.

He was the biggest beneficiary of the Central Plains War, at least for now. Not to mention the captured ordnance, chariots, and armor, there were more than [-] horses alone, and he expanded the cavalry team to [-] in one go. Called invincible.

Moreover, because of the reversal of this battle, the aristocratic families of the two states began to settle down and help each other wholeheartedly. The team that originally had only 5 people left after the First World War expanded to [-] troops again.

Therefore, if he wants to take a mere Hanoi, it can be said that if he hits it with all his strength, even if Zhang Yang sticks to it, he will not last for a month.

The reason why this point has always been Cao Cao's hidden pain, in the final analysis, is due to two things, one is the Cao Lu alliance, and the other is Lin Mo's clever plan.

After all, the Cao-Lu alliance is only a transitional period, and it is only a matter of time before Lu Bu chooses to go north. This alliance has already existed in name only, and it is only a matter of time.

What disturbed him the most was Lin Mo's tricks. After all, during the Central Plains War, he had enjoyed the huge benefits of three strategies to reverse the situation. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.

Not to mention him, even Guo Jia was overshadowed by this.

But today, Hanoi changed hands, and without mobilizing a single soldier, Sima Yi turned upside down Hanoi, which Zhang Yang had painstakingly managed for many years, by himself.

He didn't dare to comment on whether Sima Yi's talent surpassed Lin Mo's, but at least it proved one thing, Lin Mo's advice to Zhang Yang, just as Guo Jia guessed, was nothing more than knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

No matter how to understand the various inexplicable schemes in the Central Plains War, the facts are the facts. Lin Yunwen, with a mortal body, is by no means capable of driving ghosts and gods and predicting the future as rumored.

This matter is more important than getting Hanoi itself.

Who would want their opponent to be a character who is not in the same dimension as the world?
Sitting on the stone bench under the gazebo, Guo Jia looked at the bamboo slips on the table in a daze, with the sound of rain dripping in his ears, the air was cool and fresh, and the haze in his heart was dispelled at this moment.

For a long time, he had shadowed Lin Mo in his heart. Like Cao Cao, he still couldn't understand how Lin Mo did those things.

Although it is said that Zhang Yang's empty kit is a tactic of suspicious soldiers and knocks mountains and shakes tigers, it is still undeniable that Lin Mo's handling of people's hearts is admirable.

However, these are things that normal people can do, so Guo Jia naturally wouldn't think that he was fighting a god-level figure.

The sunshine that had disappeared for a long time seemed to cover his heart again, making him feel at ease.

"What do you think of Sima Yi?" Cao Cao finally spoke after being silent for a long time.

"The method is not bad. He destroyed Zhang Yang's foundation by himself. The most important thing is that he can do it without leaving any traces. If we are not the beneficiaries, it is even difficult to know that he is leading this matter. .” Guo Jia was not stingy with his praise.

As far as this matter is concerned, what Sima Yi has done can be said to be watertight, and he can completely extract himself.

"Furthermore, he can keep the Sima family to remain neutral and not offend Lu Bu and me. His mind is so deep and the city is so deep, it's amazing."

Cao Cao added, sneered, and then sighed: "This person can be regarded as an amazingly talented person, so I still managed to absorb him."

Guo Jia also laughed, picked up the bamboo slips on the stone table and said: "Miao Shang wrote that Sima Yi was too sad because of Zhang Yang's death and couldn't get out of bed anymore. This man's tricks are good, and it's hard for Sikong to let him become an official.

From the beginning to the end, he has calculated everything step by step, and he is indeed very skillful. "

Of course Cao Cao could see this, and because of this, he felt that Sima Yi was a rare talent.

Fortunately, the Sima family is in Hanoi, the two states of the Central Plains are in control, and the Kanto is also recovering. The Sima family, who is caught in the middle, wants to stay out of it?
What a joke!

It's just a matter of time.

But Cao Cao has more important things to do right now, so he can only put this matter aside for now, "Now the situation is clear, Lu Bu has entered the northern kingdom, and he will not be able to escape in a short time, Hanoi has also been opened up, I want to The troops are divided into two groups, taking Bingzhou in the north and conquering the three counties of Huainan in the east."

The change of ownership in Hanoi not only opened up the grain road going north to Bingzhou, but more importantly, it gave Cao Cao confidence and confidence.

Not only did he want to annex the prefecture, but he also wanted to use Chen Deng to win the three counties of Huainan in one go, and get back all the things he lost in the past.

Although the three-way war in the Northern Kingdom has not yet started, the soldiers and horses cannot be withdrawn once they have moved. He is still very confident that he can win the tens of thousands of high-level cadres in Bingzhou.

The most difficult point was the three counties in Huainan, because the scouts reported that Lu Bu had transferred Zhang Liao, and there were [-] troops accompanying him.

In the first battle of Guangling, Zhang Liao shined brilliantly and shocked Jiangdong. Cao Cao knew that he was the number one warrior under Lu Bu, and he was enough to be alone.

This bone is still quite difficult to chew.

"If the troops are to be divided into two groups, then all three armies will be sent out, and Xuchang will be empty." Guo Jia reminded.

"It's okay, Liu Biao is the only one who can pose a threat, but if he wants to use troops, he needs to pass the Cai family's test. Cai Mao is a sensible person. From the past several correspondences, he also intends to surrender."

Cao Cao turned to look at Guo Jia, and said with a smile, "I don't think you're worried about Liu Biao, but that you don't know where I should go."

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, this is indeed a difficult problem, and it is also the most embarrassing part of the division of troops into two groups.

After all, there is only Cao Cao as the coach in this team, and there is no way to have a double-faced army like Lu Bu.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, "I believe it's okay to have Chen Deng as an internal response in the three counties of Huainan. Yuan Rang can just take someone there. I, going north to Bingzhou, may deter senior officials and have a chance to surrender."

Gao Gan was single-handedly pulled up by Yuan Shao. Once Yuan Shao died, the northern kingdom was in chaos again. Only by leading the army himself could he be truly deterred.

"Then what's next?" Cao Cao went north, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, Guo Jia turned to care about his own arrangements.

"You go to Anfeng, the border of Bingzhou is so bitter and cold, you may not be able to bear it if you are weak."

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, his eyes were full of concern and doting, "Furthermore, although Anfeng has Chen Deng's support, Zhang Liao should not be underestimated. With you here, I am more at ease."

Guo Jia nodded, took out the wine gourd around his waist, shook it, and looked at the drizzle outside the pavilion in thought.

What he considered was not the Anfeng war situation, but the direction of Bingzhou.

He hoped that even if he could not follow Cao Cao in his own conquest, he could still contribute.

"Sikong, there are two people who can use this time to take over the state."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Cao Cao sat down with great interest, and directly snatched the wine gourd from Guo Jia's hand. The latter smiled awkwardly, "Taihang Mountain, Zhang Yan, the black mountain thief, Zhang Yan is known as one hundred thousand people, and his combat power should not be underestimated. For their own use, this time the high-ranking cadres will definitely be difficult to care about."

Zhang Yan's [-] troops were the same as the one million troops of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou back then, including the elderly, weak, women and children. The real combat power was [-] to [-] percent, or [-] to [-].

As a bandit, it's already pretty good.

What's more, Zhang Yan has occupied Taihang Mountain for many years, even Yuan Shao is helpless, so naturally he has some skills.

Cao Cao nodded, Zhang Yan, a bandit, Xu Li can handle it, it's not a big problem, and then he looked at Guo Jia to continue talking.

"Secondly, the Shanyu Huchuquan of the Southern Huns can send envoys to meet him with gifts, promise Yizhongli, and invite him to attack high-ranking officials, but it will not work, at least not let him get involved."

In fact, both the Xiongnu and the Xianbei had linkages with the princes of the Central Plains at the end of the Han Dynasty.

After all, not everyone uses thunderous methods like Gongsun Zan. In fact, no matter whether it is Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, they often adopt a policy of softness and appeasement towards these barbarians, and they can also be used by me at critical times.

"Okay, these two people can indeed be used."

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, "Anyway, it will take some time to stabilize after taking over Hanoi, and Xun Yu also needs time to prepare for the army's expedition, let's send envoys to Taihang Mountain and Hexi first.

If I can get the support of the two of them, it will be easy to win Bingzhou, and then I can watch the North Kingdom from the southwest and the southwest, sit and watch the success or failure of the three parties, and take the last fisherman's profit! "

When Cao Cao finished speaking, the continuous light rain stopped abruptly, and a ray of sunshine dispelled the haze over Xuchang.

"Sikong has a high opinion." Guo Jia glanced at the glaring sunlight outside and smiled.

He wanted to get the wine gourd back, but Cao Cao glanced at him, "Drink less, the medical officer said you are weak."

"Understood." Guo Jia chuckled.

The romance between men seems to be far more heart-warming than the love between men and women in this era.

The general direction has been settled, but it will take some time for this matter to get up and running.

The biggest problem is food and grass. Although Quyuan plows and keel waterwheels have been used in the Central Plains, the debts of the aristocratic families are too heavy, and the Kanto region is to be developed. Xuchang's treasury has long been an empty shell.

Now that an army of [-] is dispatched in one go, the arrangements for food, grass, ox carts, and slavery are all money. Even Xun Yu needs time to prepare.

Fortunately, the current situation is of great benefit to Cao Cao, and the support of various families must be much stronger than before.

Finally, there is the problem of personnel arrangement. He brought a large army north to Bingzhou, and Xiahou Dun took another to Huainan.

However, this sense of fulfillment made Cao Cao more at ease than the previous Central Plains War.

After all, this time, he is the master.

Lin Yunwen, you played too much in this game of chess, you may not be able to stop it.

Cao Cao twisted his fingers and outlined the corners of his mouth.

Lu Bu led the army to Xiajin ahead of schedule, and stepped up and down the camp at the crossing.

He has not been a pioneer for many years, and he is a little uncomfortable, because he not only has to build a stronghold for himself, but also has to help erect Yuan Tan's stronghold.

The garrison of 10 people required two large camps, and the length and width were over ten miles, which shows the huge amount of work.

Of course, before Yuan Shang's army arrived, they could go to the camp with peace of mind, and there was no problem.

Before the two camps were set up, Yuan Shang's vanguard arrived.

The forward leader is the infantry captain Ma Yan, who used to be Yan Liang's lieutenant general, and is known for his toughness in combat.

If there is still one person in the four court pillars, he will not have such a chance. Now, he can already lead an army of [-] to act as the vanguard independently.

Ma Yan was still very careful, and strictly followed the requirements of the trial assignment, and started to go down to the village fifty miles away from Lu Ying. At the same time, only 1 people could carry out the work of going down to the village, and the remaining 2 people were divided into three shifts to guard against sneak attacks day and night.

After all, when building a village is often the time when an army is most likely to be attacked by surprise.

This way the speed will be slower, but they don't care, as long as they have a firm foothold, it will be easy.

As a matter of fact, the trial match made a battle analysis early on to understand its own advantages and the opponent's advantages in this battle.

The opponent's advantage is Lu Bu's gun. With the current strength of the Northern Army and no strong generals to open the way, it is really impossible to fight head-on.

And our own advantage is that the logistics supply is crushed by Yuan Tan. Although Qingzhou is near the sea, the harvest is far inferior to Jizhou.

Most of the aristocratic families are in Jizhou, and there are also chambers of commerce headed by the Zhen family. This battle is a war of attrition and a protracted war, and they will definitely win.

Even, if conditions permit, they can consume Yuan Tan to death and force Lu Bu to retreat by guarding various dangerous passes.

It's just considering that the overall situation in the Northern Kingdom is unstable now. If Yuan Shang doesn't dare to take the attack head-on in the face of Yuan Tan's attack, the balance of all regions will be tilted, including Yuan Xi.

Therefore, a large part of the reason why the army came here was to show them.

On Lu Ying's side, the Dazhai had not yet been completed, but the pioneer camp to accommodate 2 people had been built early.

At the central army tent, Lu Bu was thinking about whether to launch a surprise attack.

Of course he knew that Ma Yan was prepared for it now, but it didn't matter, he focused on crushing with strength.

After the first battle in the Central Plains of the Northern Army, it was already at the end of the battle, the four courtyard pillars were gone, and the euphorbia warriors entered the camp first and changed hands. Lu Bu felt that even if they were tough on the front, they could tear a line.

Lin Mo said with a full smile: "Master Yuezhang's words are very true, so let's give him a round."

I have received Xu You's secret letter, just to verify whether this guy is sincere, or just perfunctory.

When Lu Bu was about to go out excitedly to order troops, a sergeant ran in, holding a long spear in his hand, and there was a kit hanging on the tassel of the long spear.

"Wen Hou, Hanoi urgent report"

"Uncle Hanoi?"

He immediately rushed forward to take the bamboo slips and flip through them.

Hearing the word urgent report, Lin Mo's heart sank, and he leaned over to see what happened.

　Let me say two points, Zhang Yang was killed by Yang Chou in history, so the protagonist helped Zhang Yang deal with Yang Chou early on. He didn't know about Suigu at all, and he never reminded Zhang Yang to pay attention to Suigu in the previous article, but he only knew that he Back in Hanoi, Cao Cao will definitely not let this point go.

　　Second, Lin Mo didn't know about Sima Yi's entry into Huai County.
