The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 370 Decision
"I can't think of it... I can't think of it..."

Cao Cao was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, surrounded by all civil and military personnel. It can be said that there are a lot of talents, but when he heard Cao Cao's words, everyone was silent.

"Recalling back then, Ziyu used to learn art from me, but now, I am incomparable. Jiangdong Sun Quan, a child, is not a hero of the time, but he is able to stand in Jiangdong in the name of his father and brother Sun Jian and Sun Ce. , using the Yangtze River to stop the enemy! His ability is not as deep as it is. Now Wei Tao has occupied the water village and wiped out the water army, but he is waiting to die in vain."

With a sigh, the people on the left and right looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

"Prime Minister, if Jiangdong is destroyed, Wei Tao will already occupy half of the world, and although Xichuan Liu Bei is also dangerous in the way of Shu, he may not be able to stop Wei Tao. Only the Prime Minister can match him in the world! Now The prime minister must never look down upon him again."

Amidst the slight silence, there was one person who walked out. This person was none other than Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, a generation of counselors who were idle at home because they supported Liu Xie all over the world.

Wei Tao now has the appearance of unifying the world. Although he didn't say it clearly, Wei Tao is obviously not purely loyal to the big man of the Liu family. Xun Yu already knows this from Xun You.

Because Xun You has been with Wei Tao for many years, although he still has a heart of loyalty to the Han Dynasty, he has secretly accepted it after all.

But Xun Yu is different. After Cao Cao sent someone to invite him, he hesitated and decided to become an official again. Today, Cao Cao is inseparable from the Han royal family, and assisting Cao is assisting Liu.

Of course, what I have to say is that the intimacy between Xun Yu and Cao Cao has not returned to the original, and Xun Yu no longer calls Cao Cao "Lord".

"Now it is time to use several strategies in parallel. The first is to ally with Liu Bei and launch an offensive against Wei Tao's territory at the same time. It is absolutely impossible to allow Wei Tao to easily surrender to Sun Quan and relieve the troubles. The second is to ask the prime minister to send someone there. Lobbying Sun Quan to stick to the delay."

"As it should be."

Cao Cao nodded slightly. When the big man was in danger, Xun Yu was also working hard to protect the big man. At this moment, he saw him take a step forward.

"In addition, I would like to ask the prime minister to be prepared. If Sun Quan is really out of support, the prime minister will immediately march into Jiangdong. At least the whole territory of Yangzhou must be recovered, and it must not fall into the hands of Wei Tao."

This meant coveting and threatening Sun Quan, but Cao Cao was a hero and naturally he would not soften his heart because of the kindness of a woman, so he just nodded slightly when he heard this.

"That's it, and this is to order our army to immediately send troops to fight that Liao to see how long this Liao can last.

This is true for Cao Cao, and it is also true for Liu Bei.

After hearing the news that Wei Tao asked Zhou Yu to cheat his death, and then sent Lu Meng to attack the Jiangdong water village at night, Liu Bei's advisers Zhuge Liang and Fazheng also made similar decisions, but their focus was not Jingzhou, but Liangzhou, this is the strategy of attacking Wei Tao's back road, encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei have always been paid attention to by Wei Tao, and Wei Tao naturally learned of their actions. With the source of information, Wei Tao's mind is very unpredictable.

"I have to deal with the addition of soldiers from the two armies, but Jiangdong is going to deploy manpower. As a result, our army manpower will be insufficient."

Wei Tao pondered for a moment, unable to make a decision for a while, his army has limited strength, it is impossible to cover everything.

"And I've heard that Sun Quan ordered someone to go to Shanyue to borrow soldiers. Hehe... Then what else does Sun Quan have to rely on to borrow soldiers now? It's just a promise of thick land!"

At the end, Wei Tao's face was already concentrating, and there was a faint hint of sternness. Wei Tao hated foreigners the most in this life, and the second is this kind of people who know foreigners!
Hearing what Wei Tao said, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and couldn't answer for a while, a clever woman can't cook without rice, even Zhou Yu was also helpless for a while.

"My lord, Sun Quan in the east of the Yangtze River has lost his naval army. The Yangtze River moat is owned by our army, so it is not a cause for concern. Now, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are attacking Jingxiang. Jingxiang is an important place for our army. If it is lost, not only the north and the south will be lost. Contact, even our army's back route will be intercepted. When Cao Cao and Liu Bei take advantage of our army's weakness, they will directly send troops to attack Sili, Jizhou and other heartlands, and our army will be in great danger! My lord has to guard against it."

In the silence, Zhou Yu stood up and bowed to Wei Tao.

"With the current situation, unless the lord can capture Chaisang and Moling within a few days, and the foundation of Jiangdong within a month, if not, I'm afraid the loss will be a big change!"

"How many days?"

Wei Tao chewed on Zhou Yu's words, if he could capture Chaisang and Moling, then taking down the entire Jiangdong area would be just a call to arms, but the key is, are these two places so easy to win?
And once Sun Quan borrowed soldiers from Shanyue, maybe Wei Tao would fall into the quagmire of it and couldn't extricate himself.

Even Wei Tao had to weigh it carefully.

"I'm afraid it will be within ten days."

Zhou Yu understood Wei Tao's meaning, and immediately spoke seriously.

"Before Sun Quan showed signs of defeat and surrender, in order to allow Sun Quan to hold back the lord, neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei would easily indulge the lord and must attack Jingxiang with the strongest force. Zhang Wenyuan and Xu Gongming did He is a good general in the world, and he also has the help of his lord's advisers. If he faces other people, he may not be defeated even in a year or so, but if he faces Cao Cao, he may end up being formidable."

Wei Tao was silent about it, for a while until the end, he only occupied a place to stay, thinking about the three parties involved in the future, and how long it will be before he can calm down, his heart is depressed for a while.

If you miss this time to seize Jiangdong, you don't know when you will be able to defeat Sun Quan and seize Jiangdong next time.

Wei Tao already knew that although the Jiangdong navy was said to have been destroyed in this battle, in fact it was the Jiangdong warships that were most injured. As for the soldiers of the Jiangdong navy, at least half of them fled during the chaotic battle.

Not to mention that these people are scattered all over Jiangdong for a while, and they can no longer gather. Even if they gather, their morale will be low, and there will be no ships to use. There can be Jiangdong navy again.

Although the navy may not be able to compare with before, but when the time comes, Jiangdong Sun Quan will be like a stick in his throat, and it will be difficult to swallow, Wei Tao will not be reconciled!
"Could it be that it can't be broken?"

Wei Tao's words didn't seem to be angry at all, but even Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard these words.

Wei Tao is already furious!
As Wei Tao unified nearly half of the world, Wei Tao's majesty also increased, and he didn't get angry easily, but just a little bit of anger was shocking.

Fortunately, although Wei Tao was angry, he did not lose his mind. He got up and walked back and forth for a few steps, and suddenly asked about it.

"What if I personally attack Chaisang? And at this time, Wen is already hidden above the river. As long as I give an order, he can directly attack Moling. What do you think?"

Wei Tao had already adopted all Lu Meng's strategies before, and Yu Jin had already led thousands of sailors around Jiangdong. Once he launched an offensive, he would definitely be caught off guard.

"Now that Sun Quan is not in Moling, there is indeed a chance. I am not willing to use Moling alone. I am afraid it will be difficult for Jiangdong to surrender."

At this time, all the generals in the tent dared not speak, but Zhou Yu answered loudly.

"As for the lord, it is not impossible to take Chaisang, but time is tight, and I am afraid it will be difficult. But if the lord insists on this, then let me return Jingxiang to take charge of the overall situation for the lord, to ensure that our army will not lose its way, and once ten days If the lord is unable to capture Chaisang, please lead the troops to retreat quickly, even if the water fortress here cannot be protected. If the lord is willing to do so, then it will be a feat!"

Wei Tao has said several times that he wants to mobilize troops. As a courtier, there is no reason why he doesn't understand the meaning. Wei Tao is determined to attack Sun Quan no matter what.

After all, Wei Tao is the lord, he has already made a decision, there is no reason for a courtier to refuse, this is the way of a courtier.

Even Zhou Yu could barely persuade him by virtue of brotherhood, but in fact he already agreed with Wei Tao to send troops.

"I know Gongjin's good words! And they live up to Gongjin's expectations!"

Wei Tao smiled again. Although ten days is not long, it makes sense when you think about it. Sun Quan was defeated and fled to Chaisang not long ago, and his morale was low. If he attacked now, there would be some hope. One of the reasons why Thao made up his mind.

But Wei Tao still knew that if Sun Quan could defend himself for a period of time, the morale of his army would be restored. With the soldiers in the army and the high walls, if he wanted to take down the opponent at that time, it would not take more than ten days. It's done.

"If I can't break Chaisang and capture Sun Quan within ten days, then I will definitely retreat here, and I will definitely not give Sun Quan the slightest chance."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, decided on this, and then nodded seriously with his eyes on Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, I will ask you to take charge of the overall situation in Jingzhou. In addition, I will leave [-] soldiers to attack Chaisang. You will bring the rest of the soldiers back to Jingzhou to help Gongming and Wenyuan respectively. Don't let Jingxiang There is a mistake! In addition, Gongjin sent an order to Wen Ze for me to seize Moling, and to hold on to it!"

Wei Tao was still able to distinguish the matter clearly, and has decided to fight all this. If the matter fails, this battle, including the previous plan, will be wasted.

But Wei Tao had made up his mind, and immediately got up to give orders.

"All generals, listen to my orders. This battle is related to the fate of our army. All soldiers in the army should do their best, but I will not forgive those who are lazy!"

"promise!"

Hearing Wei Tao's words, all the generals looked serious, knowing that if there was a mistake at this time, Wei Tao would not think of credit or old love, and no one would dare to despise him.

Victory or defeat lies in this battle!
