Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 370 Three Policies
"General, well done!" Guan Yu returned to the military camp, and Jia Xu came out to congratulate him.

"Cao Cao ran away, what can I say to congratulate him?" Guan Yu was a little dissatisfied and even felt that Jia Xu was laughing at him.

"No, although Cao Cao ran away, one of the military advisors he relied on most died!" Jia Xu replied, "The pressure of the humble position is instantly reduced a lot, and future planning will be much easier."

Through the captured soldiers, we learned that the enemy scribe killed by Guan Yu was one of Cao Cao's most trusted military advisors.

Jia Xu felt somewhat regretful. If such a person could be captured, he would save himself more troubles.

But it doesn't matter if he dies, at least his pressure will be reduced a lot.

In the past, we could only plan in the long term, but now we can also compete in the short term.

It's really tiring for me, a 48-year-old man, to compete with young people in their 30s and [-]s.

"Oh, what a coincidence?" Guan Yu really didn't expect it.

He was anxious at that time, and Cao Cao was about to escape. Without saying a word, he raised his sword and threw it in that direction.

In the end, he almost hit Cao Cao, but someone stepped in front of him.

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword is so sharp that it can easily break through the armor outside and assassinate him.

But after all, it was thrown and flew a certain distance. In the end, the knife failed to kill Cao Cao.

He almost gave it to Cao Cao, but in the end Zhou Cang rushed out like crazy, and after a bloody battle, he snatched the Yanyue Sword back.

The man was seriously injured. Guan Yu was very moved and gave him one of the three life-saving medicines sent by Zhang He.

You don't need to know this medicine. After Zhou Cang took it, the wounds on his body stopped bleeding immediately, and scabs began to form on the serious injuries.

His breathing, which had become heavier, began to calm down.

Guan Yu also had to admire that his fifth brother was not so good in a day or two, but it was unimaginable that he could make such a powerful medicine.

He also understood why these three pills were solemnly delivered to him by someone else. They were truly life-saving miracle pills.

So I put it away carefully, much more cautiously than before.

I just sighed secretly, if I continue, in a few years, will Dadao be able to refine the elixir of immortality?
Oh, he probably doesn't know how to practice. After all, he is an immortal and doesn't need this thing.

Immortality, not to mention even the emperors want this thing, even ordinary people, who can withstand the temptation?
He came to Shuai Zhang full of thoughts, but he didn't expect that Jia Xu told him such good news, so his attention was diverted.

"General, now we have three strategies, upper, middle and lower, to speed up the attack on Cao's army." Jia Xu stroked his beard.

These days, everyone has the habit of growing a beard. If you have no hair on your mouth, you will be considered to be incapable of doing things well.

But compared with Guan Yu's size, Jia Xu's beard can only be said to be delicate and elegant. He will not grow it specially long, and at best take care of it properly.

"Tell me carefully!" Guan Yu was in a good mood and immediately asked.

"The next best option is to attack Juancheng tonight. Cao's army is newly defeated and is in chaos. It is difficult to protect many places. At this time, send Ye Bushou to sneak into Juancheng and open the city gate, so that the army can easily enter." Jia Xu replied.

This is a bad decision because it can succeed or it can fail.

After all, the other party has a powerful strategist. It is difficult to say that the other party will not anticipate this and make preparations in advance.

What to do if you are caught?
You can't just give up a strategy if you have the possibility of seeing through it. You can only think about it later. If the other party sees through the strategy, how to do it, and so on.

The so-called war is essentially calculation. Both sides are calculating. Whoever calculates first has nothing to calculate and whoever loses first.

Because of this, calculation by one person is certainly not as easy as calculation by two people.

Even for Jia Xu, it is not easy to plan alone.

"Where is the middle strategy and the best strategy?" Guan Yu was very interested in the lower strategy. He just wanted to hear about the middle strategy and the best strategy.

By the way, shouldn’t we usually start with the best strategy?
"The best strategy is to take the opportunity to bypass Juancheng tonight and capture all the surrounding counties. Juancheng is empty, leaving thousands of soldiers and horses to surround them, and they will successively advance towards Qingxu counties." Jia Xu replied.Even if Cao Cao cannot defeat him, he can still run away. If he escapes, he will continue to plot. Only by completely eliminating Cao Cao can he truly be saved once and for all.

To put it another way, if we defeat all Cao Cao's forces first, leaving only Juancheng as an isolated city, then even if it is surrounded, Cao Cao's army can be driven to death.

The other party was fooled once, and now he is frightened.

All you need to do is build a suspicious camp around Juancheng, plant flags everywhere, set up more cooking stoves, and leave 1000 people for defense.

Everyone else attacked other counties one after another, and finally turned around to deal with Cao Cao.

With no way to go and lack of supplies, we might even be able to win without a fight.

But if this is the case, we must do our best in intelligence and deployment, and the news must be summarized and analyzed regularly.

This is a lot of hard work for Yuan Zhi. During the time he came here, he helped him analyze intelligence and deal with various trivial matters.

It's true that when I came here, I asked Zhang He for Xu Shu.

Without Xu Shu's help, the planning for the past six months would not have been as good as it is now.

No matter how to find Cao Cao's eyes and ears, how to use these eyes and ears, how to make King Chen surrender, how to implement the method of concealing the truth...

These Jia Xu personally participated in the planning, but the implementation was carried out by a group of scribes, mainly Xu Shu.

It can be said that without Xu Shu to help him check for leaks and implement the plan, even if he had the power of heaven, he might not be able to win this planning battle.

"For the best policy?" What Guan Yu was concerned about was this. First the worst policy, then the best policy. Why didn't the middle policy come out?

"The next best option is the most direct one. It involves risks but the rewards are visible to the naked eye. The best option is the safest and can absolutely eliminate Cao's army, but it takes more time and requires coordination and hard work from all ministries." Jia Xu replied.

Guan Yu now understood that the middle strategy was more troublesome than the lower strategy, but it could defeat Cao Jun in a short time.

Less secure than the best option, but more trouble-free and labor-intensive.

"But it doesn't matter!" Guan Yu felt that the best option was not in line with his ideas. It was safe, but it was too tiring.

According to Jia Xu, this strategy may not be fully implemented until next autumn.

With this kind of effort, I am afraid that the other war zones have already been defeated.

But this is not what Jia Xu wants. What he wants is safety. When everyone is finished fighting and all the troops are concentrated here, it depends on what Cao Cao will use to run away!
Speaking of Zhongce, Jia Xu was a little more serious.

The leader probably also understood in his heart that Guan Yu basically didn't like the best strategy, and the worst strategy was risky, but the middle strategy was the safest.

"It's easy to say, the general continues to go out to fight every day." Jia Xu replied.

"Isn't this the same as before?" Guan Yu was a little confused.

"Of course it's different. This time, we won't leave many troops here, but the general must stay here." Jia Xu replied.

Previously, a fake Guan Yu was arranged to attack Shanyang, but there were thousands of elite soldiers there, so why couldn't they attack directly?
However, the main theme of this strategy is not to destroy Cao's army, but to expel Cao's army.

They forced Cao's army to break out of the encirclement, and then pursued them from behind to expand their territory to the maximum extent.

The shortcoming is also obvious, that is, it is temporarily impossible to eliminate Cao Cao.

It would be better to say that there is a high probability that he can be killed, but there is still a risk that he cannot be killed.

According to Jia Xu's character, as long as he can't absolutely crush the opponent, then it has to be calculated based on whether he can be killed or not.

"Okay, let's use the next best option!" Guan Yu thought for a while and decided directly.

Without him, both the middle and best strategies are too boring in his opinion.
