The rise of heroes who dominate the Three Kingdoms

Night, Cao Jun's camp.

After the day's defeat, Cao Cao's army was forced to retreat to the Dong'an area to camp and recuperate.

"Fengxiao, what do you mean by what you said

during the day?" Cao Cao has been thinking about Guo Jia's words during the day, but because he has not been to the front line, he can't make an accurate judgment.

Guo Jia, who was drinking to himself, was suddenly asked by Cao Cao, and hurriedly swallowed the wine in his mouth.

"My lord, according to Jiabai's observation, although the soldiers of the Chu State are prosperous, there must not be many of them.

Seeing Cao Cao's inquiring look, Guo Jia controlled his desire to sell Guanzi.

"First, although the cavalry was mighty, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

This shows that there are absolutely not many soldiers under his command, so he does not have the courage to fight a decisive battle with our army. Hearing

Guo Jia say this, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.

I can't see that this drunkard still has such a vision? Cheng Yu and the others really didn't fool me, just with this strategic vision, this drunkard is enough to become Cao's military advisor.

Seeing Cao Cao's satisfied look, Guo Jia paused for a moment and continued to start his analysis.

"Second, from the time our army received Liu Bei's letter to the present, not too long has passed.

And according to the speed of our army's march, the Chu army of that nationality is afraid that it will also withdraw from Qingzhou after receiving the information that the lord will send troops.

This is enough to show that the number of Chu troops attacking Qingzhou will definitely not exceed 100,000, otherwise the time wasted in logistics will be far more than this.

Moreover, since Xiang Ji returned to Qingzhou in vain, with the lord's understanding of Liu Bei, could this nationality be a complete retreat?"

Cao Cao's eyes brightened.

Dacai! Unexpectedly, this drunkard is really a great talent

! Just from this subtle clue, we can deduce the approximate strength of Xiang Ji!

Cao Cao did not have any doubts about what Guo Jia said.

After all, the truth is here, and Cao Cao himself is also a military master, so it is natural to understand it.

"Fengxiao, then in your opinion, how many Chu troops will there be in this class?Is the combat strength like today's cavalry?"

Cao Cao decided to consider Guo Jia to see where the limit of this drunkard was.

At the same time, although Cao Cao did not see today's cavalry duel with his own eyes, after coming back, he heard the Xiahou brothers tell him about it, and Cao Cao also knew that this cavalry unit of Xiang Ji was definitely the elite of the elite.

And that strange tactic also made Cao Cao think.

"My lord, in Jia's opinion, the army of that nationality must not exceed fifty thousand, otherwise with his arrogance, it is absolutely impossible to give up the pursuit of the forward battalion.

As for whether the lord asked whether it was like the cavalry today, Jia was not sure. "

Less than 50,000? Then I still have twice as many troops as I have in that class.

Although the defeat during the day shook morale, it was not a big problem, and his cavalry was not very large, and it could not play a decisive role in the battle of more than 100,000 men.

A decision gradually came in his heart, and Cao Cao walked out of his contemplative state.

"Summons the generals, come to the meeting quickly. "

It's a rare opportunity.

Now that Xiang Ji's power has far surpassed his own, Cao Cao is clear about this.

Previously, it was because he was not sure that he would win the title, and it was not good for him to go to war everywhere at the same time, so Cao Cao just wanted to play a round of soy sauce.

But the situation is different.

Now this nationality is newly defeated, the troops are insufficient, and although this place is in the territory of the Chu State of Xiangzhi, it is far away from its old nest Pengcheng, and it takes a long time to go back and forth.

Then, the situation is very clear.

As long as he seized this opportunity to leave Xiang Ji here, then the newly established Chu State he had built would inevitably collapse.

And in this land of Xu Yang Erzhou, Cao Cao said that he was not greedy, it was fake.

When the generals arrived, Cao Cao told the generals what he had in mind.

"Tell the whole army, prepare for the battle, and set off for Yangdu as soon as it is early in the morning.

The generals should keep in mind that this battle does not seek to completely annihilate the Chu army, as long as they can leave that book, it will be the greatest victory for our army. "

It doesn't matter how many Chu soldiers Cao Cao killed, as long as Xiang Ji can be killed, then the leaderless Chu army is just a herd of sheep.

After seeing the generals leaving, Cao Cao sent another order and summoned Liu Bei's envoy Sun Gan over.

"Mr. Sun Qian, please hurry back to Qingzhou immediately, and you must hand over this letter to your lord. "

Since it has been decided to use troops against Xiang Ji, then Cao Cao must win with one blow.

Who am I sending troops for? Now that we are about to have a decisive battle with that Xiangzhi, you big-eared thief can't just wait behind to pick peaches, right?

Then even if Liu Bei is defeated by Xiangzhi in Qingzhou, no matter how bad his subordinates are, he can still put together an army of tens of thousands, right?

As for the matter of besieging and killing Xiangzhi, Cao Cao will definitely not dislike too many soldiers and horses.

Moreover, the combat power of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is also urgently needed by Cao Cao.

After all, if you want to kill Xiang Ji, then the number of top combat power will inevitably play a decisive role.

Boss Cao didn't want to let his generals fight hard anymore.

If, if Liu Bei's two brothers and Xiang Ji can be killed together, then the picture is really beautiful and I dare not think about it.

Vertical said.

After resting for the night, the strength of the Chu army has recovered, and Xiang Ji was about to order the whole army to set off, but the service brought him a piece of bad news.

What!

? Cao Cao's army appeared in front not far away

? Damn! When did this happen, and why didn't the night watchmen find out? When

Xiang Ji heard that Cao Cao's army was approaching, he immediately knew that it was going to be bad.

Why? Now that he has only 30,000 troops left in his hands, he is still fighting repeatedly, and neither his physical strength nor morale is in the best condition.

And although Cao Cao's army was broken by himself yesterday, it was not fundamentally injured.

Therefore, if it is confronted with Cao Cao's army in its current state, then the Chu army will definitely be more than lucky.

Although it is easy for him to escape, will Xiang Ji leave his subordinates and run away?

What's more, there are only more than 30,000 people left, but the Chu State is the most elite army of Xiang Ji.

This includes my nearly 5,000 Canglong cavalry and more than 10,000 Xiang Jiajun.

This is the root of the Xiang Ji, so the Xiang Ji will not abandon them no matter what.

However, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it is too late to retreat, in that case, it can only be continuously pursued and eroded by Cao's army, until the whole army is annihilated.

"Tell the whole army! Prepare for war!" Since

there is no way to escape, then, let's fight!

After receiving the order of Xiang Ji, the army of Chu State acted instantly.

There is no need for any mobilization, no slogans.

They only knew that they were the soldiers of the Chu State and the soldiers of the Xiang Dynasty.
