Chapter 351 Plan to siege the city

In the next few days, either Zhang Wu challenged the enemy alone, or Cao Jun marched in and beat drums as a deterrent.

Just a feint.

Cao Jun only surrounded the west gate of Wandu, leaving the other three gates empty.

There was the sound of horse hooves outside the tent. Cao Cao looked up and saw Zhang Wu coming in. He asked, "Have all the Goguryeo messengers been released?"

Encircling the point to call for reinforcements was a previously planned strategy. Since we were going to call for reinforcements, we naturally had to get the news out. In the past few days, Cao Jun was beating gongs and drums to force the King of Sichuan, his home country, to quickly call for reinforcements.

Zhang Wu entered the camp and put the war gun in place: "Don't worry, father-in-law, six groups of scouts were sent out the day before yesterday, and three more groups were sent in the past two days, with a total of nine letters asking for help. It seems that the vassal king is also frightened."

"Okay, now that the messenger is out, we should naturally put up some siege posture. Guo Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Guo Jia was dozing in the tent, listening to Cao Cao's words, and didn't care what he said.

You should only respond: "What the Lord said is great!"

"Hahaha, Idiot Guo, my father-in-law asked you, how do you think about attacking the city now?"

Guo Jia wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, bowed his hands, and said seriously: "It depends on how the lord thinks about it."

"Oh? Tell me."

"I dare to ask if my lord wants to subdue Goguryeo, or occupy its territory and destroy its country."

Cao Cao became interested and asked: "How to subdue, and how to kill?"

"It's easy to give in. There is no need to march and besiege the city. The lord only needs to order Zhang Manzi to form a formation on the west side, just wait for the reinforcements to come and kill them randomly, and take advantage of the victory to drive them away. If you go back and forth three or five times, Goguryeo will definitely become timid and then sincerely surrender. . This should not happen again within a hundred years. My lord can also be called benevolent."

Cao Cao smiled and shook his head: "You also said that it will not happen again within a hundred years, but what about after a hundred years of isolation? Is it possible to leave a mess for the descendants of the Cao family to clean up? As for the mere name of benevolence you mentioned, I don’t care.”

In fact, Cao Cao couldn't care anymore.

Just rely on the feats Zhang Wu did on the grassland and the piled landscapes. Is it possible that the historian could remove Cao Cao when he was writing history?

You say you are benevolent?

Ok!

Your close confidant has turned even the women and children of the barbarians into spectacles, and then you are high-ranking and well-paid? How can any kindhearted king act like this?

At best, Cao Cao would be satisfied if he only left behind a great talent and a great strategy to bring order to the troubled times.

The founding king of the country, who can he criticize by leaving a name of benevolence and virtue?

The first item was rejected, but Guo Jia was not at all anxious. He yawned and continued: "Since the Lord doesn't care, you can press the army and surround the four gates. When reinforcements arrive, you can pretend to be defeated and let him enter the city. Just wait. When the Goguryeo people were full of ambition, our army retreated from the high ground, dug the Daedong River, and flooded the city. Within a radius of a hundred miles, chickens and dogs would rise to the sky, and no humans and animals would survive."

No one was allowed to speak in the tent, whether civil or military.

The Daedong River is the largest river in the northwest of Goguryeo. Its coverage is so wide that it almost covers the entire land of Sanhan.

If the water is poured down, won't it mean that chickens and dogs within a hundred miles will ascend to heaven?

The old king of Sichuan has truly become the old king.

As for Goguryeo, whose economic and military center was completely destroyed, not only the nation was destroyed, but at least the country was completely destroyed.

Fortunately, Liaodong is located on the west side of Wandu, and the terrain is higher, otherwise it is possible to accidentally injure one's own people.

Zhang Wu laughed twice: "No, idiot Guo, don't forget the purpose of our army's trip. If the city is flooded, how can we intercept grain and grass to help the people of Youzhou?"

Guo Jia shrugged: "What? The food and fodder carried by the Nine Route Army is not enough for you to intercept?"

"That's true."

Zhang Wu finally understood why Guo Jia was short-lived in the novel.

This man acted as he pleased, without any scruples, and without any awe in his chest. If God does not accept him, he will inevitably cause harm to the world.

The most ruthless thing is water and fire. This kind of indiscriminate attack is really harmful to Tianhe.

But Zhang Wu really likes it.

Either don't do it, or do it absolutely.

Killing a snake but not killing it is three points of crime, letting the tiger return to the mountains will harm your own family. It's just a pity that the integration is older.

But it doesn't matter. At worst, when Goguryeo's reinforcements arrive, steal some people as soon as possible.

Kill a few more people during the camp robbery to stop the loss.

Cao Cao made the decision: "Very good, just wait until the flood here recedes, let Wenyuan come over and take over the fourteenth state of the Han Dynasty. There are few mountains and Qiulin here, so we will make it Pingzhou."

Everyone praised: "The King of Wei is wise."

One more state means one more feudal official, which means that the difficulty of finding a job is reduced.

Who would say no to something that is really related to their own interests.

Anyway, the King of Sichuan of his old country refused to come to see him, and he didn't even send a letter until now. It was clear that he was looking for death.

The general strategy is framed by several military advisors discussing the details.

A group of generals came out of the camp.

"Zhang Manzi, don't leave, come here and guess the game."

Zhang Wu rolled his eyes at Xu Chu: "Guess what punch?"

"Besiege the city. Didn't you listen to what Military Advisor Guo said, besiege the four gates?"

"Okay, take a guess. I never do anything to induce defeat. How can a strong life be linked to defeat. Is it possible that cheating defeat doesn't count as defeat?"

Xu Chu slapped his forehead: "Huh? His grandma's, that seems to be the reason, so-and-so won't go either."

"Stop being so sentimental there. It's not your turn if you want to go."

"Why?"

"Hey!~ Such a thing." Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows at Cao Ren on the side: "Of course Zixiao did it. A reckless man like you might be tempted to kill and forget about King Wei's order."

Xu Chu was happy.

Putting it this way, it seems that Cao Ren faked defeat. After all, Cao Ren was weak.

Cao Ren was so angry that he jumped to his feet: "Zhang Ziqian! Please tell me clearly why it has to be me. How come I, the dignified General of the Guard, have turned into a mediocre person who only deserves to be defeated in your mouth!"

"Oh, General Wei."

Cao Ren almost jumped up as if he had been stepped on and said, "Don't go, please speak clearly!"

"Don't worry about it, General Wei. I'm going to walk the horse. You'd better stay here and wait for your father-in-law's military orders."

Zhang Wu was sure that Cao Cao would not call him, but Cao Ren did not dare!

In Cao Wei's army, if Zhang Wu was the commander of the cavalry, then Cao Ren was the commander of the infantry.

Many people criticized Cao Ren for this point.

Just because the person he was compared to was Zhang Wu. No matter how you looked at it, he was much better than him.

They are also members of the same clan, so Zhang Wu will win military glory immediately, and the world will be determined in a hundred battles.

When it comes to him, he is just a mediocre person who relied on nepotism to reach the position and has no characteristics.

In fact, Cao Ren did all the dirty work in Cao Wei's army.

As the army marches, he has to protect the two wings, provide support in the center, and take care of military supplies and food.

He has no role in storming the city and getting the generals who are responsible for taking the credit.

He also did the work of the grain and grass officer, the work of the military chief, and the work of the marching commander.

It can be said to be a model of hard work and no complaints.

There is nothing wrong with being granted the title of General Wei.
