Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 75 Guo Mengyu is still talking! !
"Having said that, Lu Bu is like a trapped beast with fangs and sharp claws. Meng De still needs to be cautious."

Bao Xin saw that Cao Cao was too confident, but he had to tell some news first, "I got the military newspaper, Lu Bu has married Cao Bao, and he has many correspondences with Yuan Shu."

"Cao Bao is a general under Tao Qian's command. Originally, Danyang soldiers were under his command. Danyang is cunning, good at fighting hard on the battlefield, and full of bandit spirit."

"Lü Bu himself is good at fighting. He has the style of Xiliang soldiers. Most of his subordinates are fierce generals. If he wants to fight, he should prepare in advance when he is appointed. A battle will make Lu Bu unable to stand up."

"Furthermore, if Lu Bu is desperate, he might surrender. Meng De should consider whether to accept such strong generals. After Xuzhou's Xiapi and Pengcheng are dispatched, there is basically no danger to defend."

"This battle should end in one battle this year."

Bao Xin's series of persuasion forced Cao Cao to consider a lot.

It is an indisputable fact that Lu Bu is a trapped beast. He seems to have counties such as Langya and Donghai, but the combined population is estimated to be less than 50 million.

Most of these people were refugees, and the number of sufferers is estimated to be increasing this year. After all, Lu Bu's army is only waiting to fight, and the raising of military funds must be to collect food from the people, and the tax revenue will never be reduced.

In this way, the strength of the battle is still there. If the consumption is too large, it will give Yuan Shu a chance.

At this time, the situation in the Central Plains was unclear, especially in the Huaiyang area. Even if he became famous, it did not spread to various places in Yangzhou and Xuzhou, but only conquered the whole territory of Yanzhou.

To get more, there is still a long way to go.

"Call civil and military officials to discuss together."

Cao Cao's eyes were empty, and he made a decision immediately.

This matter should be regarded as a major pre-war event for civil and military decisions. How to capture the last two counties of Xuzhou is a major plan for this year. After this year, there will be enough capital to collect Yuzhou.

Runan in Yuzhou is a large county with an extremely dense population, so it makes no sense for the remaining Yellow Turban thieves to keep holding it in their hands.

The Gepi Yellow Turban and Yingchuan Yellow Turban are still in control of the actual forces in the area after several fruitless crusades by Yuan Shu. The scholars can only avoid it, and only Haoxiong can organize the village to fight against the bandits.

For example, the two brothers Xu Ding and Xu Chu gathered more than [-] brave men from their hometown in the local area, and together with the strong men from the village, a total of [-] people gathered to resist the remaining thieves.

So the current strategy is two.

One is to break through Lu Bu in order to take advantage of the victory and pursue, so that he will not have any chance to breathe, and finally surrender.

Or send troops to brush the yellow scarves.

Occupying Runan first, and fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the Xu brothers to come to seek help, from Cao Cao's own point of view, of course he is more willing to attack Lu Bu.

……

In the afternoon, after the lord delivered the order, almost all his confidantes, civil and military, came here.

When Cao Hong saw Guo Yi, he just glanced at him and walked quickly without daring to say anything.

And Cao Ren said hello, and Cao Chun came forward with a smile and put his arms around Guo Yi's shoulders, and after saying a few words, he walked into the main hall ahead of time.

Xi Zhicai was waiting for him at the door, and the two of them entered together and walked on the school grounds. The school grounds were not big, and the remodeled government office was not of a princely level, but it just added a way forward.

"Meng Yu," Xi Zhicai and Guo Yi walked together, and the two laughed and talked about the past together.

"Oh, at the beginning, I secretly thought that you were just a humble person who was looking for fame and fortune." When it came to the emotional part, Xi Zhicai was even more emotional, "I didn't expect that you turned out to be Mr. Ciming's disciple."

"Recently, I read a lot of poems and prose describing you and Mr. Ciming, and I had a few in-depth conversations with Wen Ruo, asking about this matter, and I finally understood why you always favor benevolence and tranquility in your schemes, and you don't want to cause trouble again."

"Mr. Ciming, he advocates benevolence, righteousness and propriety to govern the county. Over the years, he has influenced many scholars. If you learn from his mantle, you will naturally have the same disposition."

Xi Zhicai smiled gratifiedly, and turned to look at Guo Yi, "As expected of you, Meng Yu."

"In the future, you will be able to achieve great things, perhaps your achievements will surpass mine."

Xi Zhicai put his hands behind his back, as if thinking of something to be proud of, he smiled brighter, and said in a deep voice: "As expected of me, in the sea of ​​people, I can agree with your ideas, and then recommend you as my lord's plan."

Guo Yi immediately said: "Is the sacrificial wine a reminder that you recommended Guo Mengyu today?"

"I didn't, of course not, how could it be possible?" Xi Zhicai was visibly panicked, his old-fashioned prudence just now disappeared all of a sudden, his eyes slightly dodged and he didn't dare to meet Guo Yi's gaze.

But still maintained a demeanor, slowly looking at the sky.

Anyway, even if it is said, it is an indisputable fact that I personally recommended Guo Yi to rise up.

"Brother, you should pay attention to your body so that you can see prosperity in the future."

Guo Yi remembered the kindness of the recommendation, and all he could give was a word of advice for the time being. He looked like Zhicai when he watched dramas, and he had gradually begun to get sick due to fatigue.

"Look at your eye circles, they're all dark."

"It's caused by locust-eating insects," Xi Zhicai immediately raised his hand, stopped Guo Yi's next words, and quickly explained, "It has nothing to do with wine and sex, it's mainly due to locust-eating insects."

"Recently, I've been looking for the medical book you mentioned that day, "Compendium of Materia Medica"...presumably it is used for identifying medicine."

"It has never been fruitful. If there is a book in Meng Yu's place, can you lend me a look?"

Guo Yi paused and stopped unconsciously.

Where can I get you books?

"Where am I, there are only fragments..." Guo Yi felt a little nervous, and kept thinking about various medical books and knowledge of pharmacology fed back by Tian Dao Fuqin in his mind.

If it really doesn't work, go back and hurry up and compile a few pages, and then string them together into fragmented books, so that maybe you can get past it. Anyway, what Xi Zhong cares about is probably the part that records locusts as medicine on that page.

Is there really someone asking about this book? !

If I had known at the beginning, I wouldn’t have talked about it, or it would be better to change it to something else.

"Okay!" Xi Zhicai patted Guo Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I've been drinking less recently, and I'm not so busy with work. In fact, I'm already in good health."

"Look at me now, it's caused by eating too many locusts and diarrhea!"

He's even proud of it.

Guo Yi thought in a daze.

"Still, it's better to eat less, just one for two days, and you will die if you eat too much." Guo Yi said with a guilty conscience, no normal person would eat this.

Xi Zhicai: "..."

"No problem!" Xi Zhicai waved his hand, his demeanor was still there, "I'll know next time."

"Let's go in first. Today may be to discuss Xu Zhi's policy. After waiting for the autumn harvest, we can go to war. After that, we can cultivate our health and rest for a few months. Whether we can maintain our health depends on this year."

Guo Yi said straightforwardly: "Brother supports the expedition to Xuzhou, or should we go to Yuzhou to suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turbans?"

"Why should we choose? Why not fight on two fronts? The bandits and Lv Bu have no food, so Xuzhou and Yuzhou can go down, which is all merit."

Xi Zhicai turned around and gave him a blank look, talking about the military strategy naturally also has its own unique arrogance, now that he has a hundred thousand soldiers in hand, he can divide them out.

And there are tigers and leopards riding to Yuzhou. With the prestige of the Xu Ding brothers in the territory, they can use the method of solving Qingxu at the beginning to divide the Gepi Yellow Turban, and then slowly defeat and consolidate them, and then continue to use the army to settle them down.

There is no need to discuss too much at all, the most important thing is Lu Bu, like a trapped animal, and it is necessary to recommend a lieutenant general to lead the army first.

It is estimated that there is a slight dispute over the candidates.

Guo Yi nodded, thoughtful, slowly thinking about it.

When walking up the steps, Xi Zhicai turned around and reminded: "Meng Yu just speak up, don't worry about others, the lord may want to hear your opinion more."

"If you have any conclusions and guesses, you can tell them, and you don't have to keep them private."

"it is good."

The two entered the table side by side, at this time Nei Wenwu had almost arrived, the generals were mostly relatives of the Cao clan except Bao Xin's commanding officer.

Among the advisers were Xi Zhicai, Guo Yi, and Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu still stood at the top.

Civil servants live on Cao Cao's left hand side, and military generals live on the right hand side.

Discussing again at this time is Wenchang's martial arts strategy, which has a solid background.

Cao Cao laughed from ear to ear, and he didn't need to worry about the people running out of food, because he didn't need to ask them for food. As for the previous gap, the rich merchants and gentry families who defected to Xuzhou made up for it.

Heroes from all over the country came to offer cattle, farm tools and manpower. In addition, they had a large amount of food in their homes, which could be distributed directly to the army, and then distributed by the government office to the people as rewards.

"Everyone, let's get straight to the point." Cao Cao sat upright with a golden knife and a big horse, embroidering with both hands, with a certain air, "After the autumn harvest, I intend to take Xuzhou and Runan, Yuzhou."

"Xuzhou is occupied by Lv Bu, while Runan is occupied by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. These two places are both dead and not stiff centipedes. Naturally, it is not a problem, but Xuzhou is as wide as the East China Sea and Langya after all. How do you plan to capture Lv Bu?"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Ren stood up and cupped his fists and said, "My lord, during the locust plague, Lv Bu had already attacked Pengcheng continuously, causing countless losses."

"Even if there is still power left, there are still complaints in the territory. His so-called Bingzhou wolf riders have been completely damaged after the unsuccessful attack on Puyang."

"In fact, the attack on Xu should be over within a few months."

At this time, Guo Yi just waited for Cao Ren's voice to fall, and immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have something to say."

Xun Yu, who was standing two places in front of him, looked back strangely, but seemed to think of something else, moved his lips a few times, and turned back quickly.

Cao Cao looked at him with a smile, and said, "Meng Yu, you don't have to worry about what you want to say."

Guo Yi got up, looked around, and said loudly: "A fighter should not be judged by the number of soldiers, but by his elite. Although Lu Bu has few soldiers, he has many generals. He can guard the pass with hundreds of troops."

"Although Tan County in the East China Sea is easy to attack and difficult to defend, its determination has not been exhausted. It should follow the previous method and attack it slowly. It is not suitable to attack it by force. It is only necessary to wait for it to be broken from the inside."

"As for Runan, my lord and Yuan Shu both want to go down here. I'm afraid there will be an attack after autumn. It's better to set up an ambush and hand over the flag of the lord to the general who is attacking Xu. First, go to the East China Sea to set up camp and send troops to attack the small towns and pass villages. Don't fight Lv Bu head-on, so as to confuse him."

"Afterwards, the lord led the army quickly, entered Yingchuan from Chenliu, took Yingyin, then walked along Yingshui to Yancheng, then walked to Dingying, along Qiyang to Shangcai, and finally arrived at Gebei."

"Here is the map. The last time I went to Chenliu to deal with the disaster, I stayed for 36 days. Except for the locust plague, I was not idle for the rest of the time. I was diligent in walking around and asking about the place, so I got a rough map like this."

"The direction of the mountain road and the river has been marked, so you can take a look at it," Guo Yi said after finishing the series of words, and then he put both hands on the map and placed it in front of Cao Cao.

On this map, the foothills, mountains and other places are simply represented by symbols, and at the same time, a drawing of the direction of the river is drawn, and the general condition of the terrain is annotated.

Some narrow and difficult places are also specially circled to remind.

Cao Cao could clearly know the place where he marched at a glance. Even if Guo Yi hadn't drawn it yet, he knew that by taking Runan in this way, he could also secure Yingchuan in his hands by the way.

Once Yingchuan was taken over, the ancestral lands of many gentry clans were all under his control, and the Xun clan where Xun Yu belonged to would become even more important.

In addition to Guo Yi's current status, but Xun Shuang's only disciple, the gentry in the Yingshui area, don't all obey his orders?
"Zhicai, what do you think?"

While thinking about it, Cao Cao beckoned Xi Zhicai to come and have a look.

But at this moment, Xi Zhicai took a deep breath and looked at Guo Yi with a slightly confused look.

You fuck me, right?
I let you say what you want, but I didn't let you finish it! !

You can die if you leave a few words! ?

Small mouth, see what you can do! !

You can kill the enemy with a horse, you go to be a general!
Even the map is drawn! !How about I go? !

You are obviously taking credit!I even boasted to others that you don't admire glory and profit!You kid is the most vain!Just want to show off!
Xi Zhicai's face kept twitching, and he had scolded Guo Yi all over his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face.

Glancing over, he was stunned for a moment, and a sentence he hated the most in his life suddenly appeared in his heart.

Seconded.

But Xi Zhicai didn't say anything, but carefully looked at the various markings on the map here. Although the map drawn was very simple, there were many markings, and many places were left blank, which showed that Guo Yi did not fully understand the situation here.

In the end, Xi Zhicai said with a cold face: "There is only a general idea, not enough detail, but it is enough to make a marching map. You can take Yingchuan first and then make plans."

"The problem right now is how to determine the arrangement of generals and who should lead the army," Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao, "I also believe that Xuzhou should be taken before Yingchuan, and Meng Yu's plan is very clever. It can confuse Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. No matter whether they have an alliance or not, they dare not act rashly. In this way, our army can take Yingchuan within ten days."

"But, who is going?"

Xi Zhicai asked again, but this time he spoke softly, as if he was also trying to think about the candidate.

Of course, as soon as he said this, many generals were already eager to try, but they still had to consider the matter of Xuzhou leading the army. It is also an achievement to contain Lu Bu.

Preventing Yuan Shu in the south, isn't it also a merit?

It looks like fighting on two fronts, but in fact it requires the defense of the whole territory. Everywhere needs to ensure the supply of soldiers and horses before it can take place. At this time, Guo Yi surrendered again.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu felt their scalps go numb when they saw him like this.

Guo Mengyu is still talking! !Why are you talking so frequently! ?

Guo Yi said: "There are several candidates below, my lord can give it a try."

"Can I ask you to try my words?"

His eyes were shining, and he stared at Cao Cao sincerely.

As if facial expressions can also speak.

Agree quickly, agree quickly! !let me say!I am diligent in analysis and keen to speak up!

Make another wave, once you are appointed, you will get rare rewards, hurry up! !
