"There is a cloud in the art of war, knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was coming to the spirit, Xun You took out a map from his arms and said:

"Another summary of the news from all sides, our army can know that the current Jingzhou strength of Sun Jian's army is about 90,000 people!"

"Among them, there were originally 30,000 in Jiangxia, more than 30,000 in Xiangyang and Shangnanyang County, and the remaining more than 20,000 were deployed in Jiangling, Yuanling and other places. "

"But when Xiao Zhe raised troops like Hanzhong, he ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangxia to go north to Huyang, which means that now Sun Jian's army has 40,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyang and Xiangyang!"

"Jiangxia and Nanjun have a total of nearly 30,000 or so!"

"This is the situation in Jingzhou that our army is facing!"

As he spoke, he got up and unfolded the map, and when everyone heard this, they stepped forward to surround the map and look at the map according to his explanation.

Cao Cao looked at the dense markings on the map, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Could it be that Gongda personally drew this picture?"

Seeing this, Xi Xian immediately smiled:

"The lord doesn't know that since the lord recruited Gongda, Gongda has regarded the land of Jingzhou as the first place. "

"In the past few months, I have been collecting intelligence, and whenever I have free time, I have drawn this map in order to deal with the changing situation!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao said with a look of emotion:

"I didn't expect Gongda to attach so much importance to the general trend of our army, thank you here!"

He knew that after Xun You joined the company, he could be said to be extremely busy every day in the past few months, and he had to follow the "750" drama to deal with military affairs, and he had to help plot to defeat Lu Bu.

Unexpectedly, in his spare time, he was still helping him plan the situation in Jingzhou!

This kind of professionalism really touched him!

Seeing this, Xun Yu didn't care:

"The lord doesn't need to thank you, the so-called food of the king, bear the worries of the king, these are all things that should be done in the future!"

"Besides, Xiao Zhe under the command of Sun Jianjun is really the number one enemy of our army. "

"If the lord wants to make the enemy against this person, he naturally has to continue to collect intelligence and deepen his understanding of this person!"

"But now is not the time to talk about this, everyone, look at this picture!"

He pointed his finger at the land of Huyang, and said in a deep voice:

"Xiao Zhe's arrangement before he left is not clever!"

"It seems that he just transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangxia to Huyang, but in fact, he is faintly guarding against the surprise attack of our army and Yuan Shu!"

"Whether our army sends troops from Yingchuan, or Yuan Shu marches into Jiangxia, this army can deal with it calmly!"

"If our army wants to march into Nanyang, then this army can go up the river and echo each other in Wuyin and Wanxian. "

"If Yuan Shu marches into Jiangxia, then this army can go down the river and return to Jiangxia to defend again. "

"It can be said that as long as our army is not a full-scale attack, this soldier and horse can defend two places at the same time!"

As he spoke, everyone was also pulled to the top of the battle.

Cao Cao thought for a while, squinted his eyes and said:

"That's why Gongda suggested that our army directly abandon Lu Bu and not attack, and return to the army directly?"

"Exactly! The enemy's army between Nanyang and Xiangyang can respond at any time, and it is useless to go south!"

Xun You raised his head and said:

"That's why our army has to move the main force this time. "

"Now the soldiers and horses of our army have been surrendered by Zhang Miao, Lu Bu and other troops, plus the original soldiers and horses of our army, there are 1780,000!"

"Aside from the soldiers and horses stationed in various places, there are also eighty or ninety thousand!"

"Only by gathering such forces can our army enter Nanyang County with the momentum of thunder!"

"Let's send 80,000 troops tentatively!"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said:

"Since Nanyang has an army of 40,000, our army has twice as many soldiers and horses, and we should be able to capture Nanyang. "

As he spoke, he looked at Xun Youdao again:

"But our army's grain and grass are now about to bottom out, and there is still more than a month before the autumn harvest, and when the grain and grass are collected, it will take three months. "

"Although Gongda has a plan, but now that our army is like this, how to march!"

Seeing this, Xun You finally showed a smile and said:

"Lord, the reason why I said that now is a good time is because the autumn harvest is only a little more than a month away!"

"And our army's strategy this time must also work hard from this autumn harvest!"

"Our army naturally has no grain and grass, if we wait for the autumn harvest in Yanzhou, then our army will have no supplies within three months. "

"But if we send troops now, our army can collect food from Nanyang and other places!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and said:

"Gongda, what do you mean is that our army does not bring grain and grass to carry heavy baggage, and directly robs Sun Jianjun's grain for use!"

"What the lord said is true!"

Xun You saw that Cao Cao had comprehended, so he nodded and said:

"It is undeniable that Xiao Zhe's talent for military strategy and governing the country is unmatched!"

"But a wise man thinks a thousand times, and there will be a mistake, and the matter of grain and grass is the only flaw exposed by Xiao Zhe!"

"The reason why Sun Jianjun was able to defeat Liu Biao first and then Yuan Shu was because Sun Jian used a surprise attack to obtain a large amount of grain in Jingzhou from Jiangxia, Nanjun and other important places!"

"But the food will eventually run out one day, Sun Jian has been fighting since the beginning of last year, especially in Shu, and the 100,000 army consumes countless grains every day. "

"Therefore, now for Sun Jianjun, grain and grass are very important!"

"But until now, Sun Jianjun is still fighting in Shuzhong, and he has no intention of returning to the army. "

"This is the opportunity for our army to march!"

Speaking of which, he said to Cao Cao:

"The strategy of this march is to start with grain and grass!"

"Xiao Zhe deployed soldiers and horses in Huyang to prevent our army from attacking the city. "

"Therefore, this time our army will surround the city and not attack!"

"The whole army went into battle lightly, only bringing the grain and chariots and horses for the army, not too much baggage, going south from Yingchuan, and grabbing grain all the way!"

In this way, when the enemy army sees our army rushing to harvest food, it will be in a dilemma, either send troops out of the city to grab the grain, or take the city out of the city. "

"If the enemy army goes out of the city, our army will break it with an ambush, so that the city can be taken!"

"If the enemy army does not leave the city, then our army will harvest all the grain and transport it along the road to Yanzhou!"

"In this way, not only Sun Jianjun has no food to use, but the people in the city also have no food to use!"

"As long as it is winter, even if Sun Jianjun can obtain the grain and grass support of Shudi, can he still raise the millions of people in Nanyang?"

"I heard that the Nanyang Taishou appointed by Sun Jian is Zhong Yuanchang, a famous man in Yingchuan. "

"This person and I are old acquaintances, both civil and military, intelligent and sensitive. "

"You will never be unaware of such harm!"

"So he has only one choice, which is to go out of the city and fight our army!"

"If this strategy is implemented, our army can avoid the fortified city without attacking, if our army does not capture Nanyang, Sun Jian has already returned to the army, then our army can calmly retreat with food!"

In this way, Sun Jian will have to support hundreds of thousands of refugees. "

"If our army captures Nanyang before Sun Jian returns to the army, we will use these grains to appease the people and hold the city, as for the future, we can plot slowly!"

Seeing Xun Youyang freely expounding a strategy and inventory, everyone in the tent was surprised.

After pondering for a long time, Xi Xian stroked his beard and sighed:

"Wenda's work in painting miracles is really breathtaking!" (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Under such a strange strategy, Zhong Yuanchang is afraid that he will be on the road this time!"

Yingchuan was originally a circle of friends, most of them knew each other, and some of them were even friends.

Although there are two separate families, they do not shy away from friendship between words.

The generals listened, and realized the old spiciness, and the subtlety in Xun You's strategy.

First of all, this strategy is a conspiracy, that is, to attack the enemy's weak points in an open and honest manner. []

Secondly, this strategy is also a surprise strategy!

Ordinary attacks on a place are generally based on attacking the city and conquering the city0 .........

But Xun Yu is unusual, starting with food!

If you don't take the city, you can force the other party to come to the decisive battle!

Of course, if you don't fight a decisive battle, they don't want the city directly, they want food.

Let Sun Jian bear the burden of these tens of millions of refugees!

Last but not least, this strategy does not require them to produce food, which just solves their urgent needs now!

Regardless of whether Sun Jian returns to the army or not, this strategy is beneficial to them!

Cao Cao thought for a while, then smiled and said:

"Gongda's strategy is really a brilliant plan, once the plan is completed, even if you can't take Nanyang, you can shake the foundation of Jingzhou!"

Millions of refugees, that's not a simple number.

Even if a person only eats one pound of grain a day, millions of refugees have to consume millions of stone of grain a year!

Even if Sun Jian takes Yizhou, it will take two or three years to recover!

And after they collect the grain, they will no longer be trapped in the logistics of grain and grass, and under the advantage of one another, even Sun Jian sits on the two states, and he may not be their opponent.

Listening to the successive praises of the two, Xun You did not look proud, but said humbly:

"My lord, in addition to this plan, our army cannot ignore Xiao Zhe's wisdom. "

"Throughout this year, Xiao Zhe has used a plan, no matter how many crises he faces, he can be the last to come first. "

"Therefore, this time, in addition to sending troops, our army should also contact Yuan Shu. "

"Send troops from the direction of the Lujiang River, and threaten Jiangxia with soldiers and horses, so that the enemy army cannot take care of both ends!"

"Only then can we add another guarantee to our army!"

Seeing that Xun Yu had to contact Yuan Shu to send troops on the basis of his strategy, Cao Cao smiled and said:

"It seems that Gongda not only wants to seek Nanyang this time, but also wants to take advantage of the situation to seize the foundation of Sun Jianjun!"

When Xun Yu heard this, he shook his head and smiled:

"It's just to add to the security!"

For an opponent like Xiao Zhe, he really didn't dare to underestimate the enemy at all.

But when Xi Xian heard this, he frowned and said:

"But now I heard that Yuan Shu encountered obstacles in his southward journey to Jiangdong, and was blocked by Lu Kang, the Taishou of the Lujiang River, and has not captured Shu County so far. "

"Our army is invited, and Yuan Shu may not be able to respond!"

Seeing this, Xun Yu retorted:

"The drama is wrong!"

"Yuan Shu's march was blocked, but he was only blocked in Shu County, although Lu Kang is good at guarding, there are few soldiers and horses!"

"Yuan Shu occupies Runan, Jiujiang and other places, and there are more than 100,000 mercenaries, he hates Sun Jian more than a small 4.4 obstacle!"

"As long as our army tempts it with words, if it can win, our army will take Nanyang by itself, and the rest of Nanjun, Jiangxia and other places will not be wanted!"

"After such an agreement, with Yuan Shu's greed, he will not be denied this matter!"

As soon as his voice fell, he laughed:

"Gongda's words are not bad, don't worry about Zhicai, then Yuan Highway will definitely agree to this!"

If you talk about the Yuan brothers, no one must know better than him!

He knew very well that Yuan Shu was a vicious dog.

Once you smell the smell of meat, you will rush forward desperately.

Now that there is a chance to recapture Jingzhou, Yuan Shu will naturally respond, and may even be more active than him.

Seeing that Cao Cao was so sure, Xi Xian had no problem at the moment, and nodded directly:

"If that's the case, then there's no objection!"

Seeing this, Cao Cao naturally said with a glint in his eyes:

"Since this is the case, I will act according to Gongda's plan!"

"Yuan asked you to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to prevent Lu Bu's comeback, and the rest of the generals returned to the army with me overnight. "

"As soon as the autumn harvest arrives, our army will attack the land of Nanyang on a large scale!"

"This time, it is necessary to let Sun Jianjun taste the power of our army!"

When the generals heard this, they led the order in unison.

That night, Cao Cao led his soldiers and horses back to the army again, and this time, it was also his revenge battle for Xiao Zhe and Lu Bu to seek Yanzhou!

He also wants Sun Jian to taste the feeling of being stolen! .
