Three Kingdoms: Counselor, You Still Say You Don't Understand Strategy?

"Before crossing the river, you must take Jiangling first. Otherwise, Liu Bei and others are guarding Jiangling City. If they attack from behind while the Prime Minister and Jiangdong are fighting, the consequences will be disastrous."

After all, Cao Cao's baggage, grain, weapons, etc. are all transferred to Xiangyang as a transit station.

And to send grain and grass from Xiangyang to the front line, unless it is to bypass Hanjin Port or transport grain from Jiangxia, it will inevitably pass through the vicinity of Jiangling, and it is very easy for Liu Bei to lead people to cut the back road, resulting in poor food and grass.

In addition, after winning Jiangling, there is another advantage, that is, the supply line can be shortened, and at the same time, it can also cross the river south from Jiangling, which greatly saves the soldiers' time in the sea, saves the physical strength of the northern infantry, and improves morale.

"I ordered Xiahou Dun to attack Jiangling with [-] soldiers and horses for more than half a month. Even if Liu Bei came to the city, he would not be able to last for a few days." Cao Cao nodded, he naturally understood the importance of Jiangling.

So these days have been attacking Gangneung.

"' 々 Hehe, Prime Minister, with General Xiahou's [-] troops, even if he is given another month, he will not be able to take Jiangling."

"Unless the prime minister transfers all the [-] troops to Jiangling, but once he does, other cities will be empty, and disasters will probably arise."

Su Chen shook his head and smiled.

Cao Cao is still too optimistic.

Xiahou Dun was indeed brave and unparalleled, and Yu Jin was also the leader of the army.

But Cao Cao forgot that the battle is about the right time and place.

The vicinity of Gangneung is already in the south, and the climate and environment are completely different from those in the north.

And the south is windy, frosty, rainy and dewy, and the southerly wind can blow directly into the bones through the armor.

That taste, even a strong general can't stand it, let alone an ordinary soldier.

If Su Chen guessed correctly, a large number of soldiers in Xiahou Dun's army might have fallen ill.

With such fighting power, it is impossible to win Jiangling.

"This……"

Cao Cao was stunned.

He suddenly remembered that it seemed that Xiahou Dun had not sent the military newspaper for several days.

This is already very unusual.

After all, with Xiahou Dun's rigorous personality, he used to send a military newspaper every day, so it's impossible to forget it these days.

Unless something happened during the siege, Xiahou Dun gave up his plan to return the battle report.

Therefore, it must be the case that the siege failed. If it was successful, how could it delay the army to report back and ask for it?

Just out of trust in Xiahou Dun, he didn't care about this matter (money).

This led to the fact that he did not see the military newspaper in the past few days, and he did not ask any questions.

"Xu Chu, immediately send a fast horse to Jiangling and ask Xiahou Dun what's going on." Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu, who was beside him.

"promise."

Xu Chu went to arrange it, and Su Chen looked at Cao Cao's frown, and chuckled, "Prime Minister, don't worry, even if General Xiahou can't take Jiangling, nothing will go wrong."

"Oh, I knew this earlier, and then Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun should have been sent to attack Jiangling at the same time."

"Now a few days are wasted in vain, doesn't it give Sun Liu's coalition a few more days to prepare?"

Cao Cao's face showed regret.

Su Chen shook his head and smiled.

It was the same when Cao Ren went. If the problem of illness of soldiers and soldiers was not solved from the root cause, it would be useless to go to more people.

"Prime Minister, in fact, I already have a countermeasure in my heart, and I can take Jiangling without bloodshed."

Su Chen smiled and said softly.

Hearing this, Cao Cao raised his head in surprise, grabbed Su Chen's big hand and said, "What is the strategy of the military advisor, please tell me quickly."

Su Chen pulled out his hand without leaving a trace, and glanced at Cao Cao helplessly.

Grab your hand at every turn, what's wrong.

Fortunately, Cao Cao was not Liu Bei, otherwise Su Chen turned around and left.

"Prime Minister, this plan requires three people." Su Chen said.

"Which three?" Cao Cao asked impatiently.

"Guo Zhu, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong!".

Chapter 72

"Gan Ning is the prefect of Jiangxia, but I have never heard of Guo Zhu and Huang Zhong. Who are they?"

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Prime Minister, Guo Zhu is the daughter of Guo Yong, the prefect of Nanjun, and Huang Zhong is the former department of Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha. He has good martial arts skills. According to my estimation, he is not under Zhong Kang."

Su Chen explained with a smile.

"Oh, there is actually a martial arts comparable to Zhongkang? Hurry up, let me see it." Cao Cao suddenly became interested.

He has always liked fighters, and the stronger the fighters, the more they like them.

Su Chen is also aware of this.

The most famous is Boss Cao's preference for Guan Yu.

When Boss Cao defeated Liu Bei, he used Liu Bei's two wives to coerce Guan Yu to surrender.

After Guan Yu agreed, he took Guan Yu to his side, and that was what he really wanted.

Even Lu Bu's red rabbit horse was given away.

The generals around him were dissatisfied, and when they wanted to kill Guan Yu, Boss Cao also stopped him, saying that he would rather pay the world than Guan Yu.

Later, Guan Yu was going to follow Liu Bei after passing the five tests. Boss Cao didn't say anything, but backhandedly sent Guan Yu a customs clearance letter.

It can be seen that Boss Cao really loves Guan Yu!

In Boss Cao's heart, generals and other people's wives are probably his two major hobbies in life.

At this time, when I heard that someone's martial arts skills were comparable to Xu Chu, can Boss Cao not be excited?

Su Chen was helpless, and could only say wait a moment, then went to call out Huang Zhong and Wei Yan who were in the house.

After the two came out, they were still a little nervous to see Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao was now the prime minister of the great Han Dynasty.

Is the real hero.

Compared with Cao Cao, Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, is nothing.

"Huang Zhong!"

"Wei Yan!"

"Meet the Prime Minister."

When they got close, the two saluted Cao Cao.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly."

Cao Cao got up quickly and raised his hand at the two of them. Only then did he excitedly walk in front of Wei Yan, hold his big hand and say, "Are you Huang Zhong?"

Su Chen looked amused on the side.

He knew that Cao Cao would admit his mistake.

After all, who can believe that Huang Zhong, who is about [-] years old, has a martial arts that is not lost to Guan Yu?

"Prime Minister, Wei Yan, the last general." Wei Yan said with some embarrassment.

Although he was mistaken, he didn't feel embarrassed or anything.

In terms of martial arts, Huang Zhong is indeed better than him.

What's more, Huang Zhong also had the kindness of knowing and meeting him. Although he was ruthless by nature, he respected Huang Zhong quite a bit, and would not be jealous of Huang Zhong's affection by Prime Minister Cao.

"What! Is he Huang Zhong?" Cao Cao let go of Wei Yan's hand and looked at the old man in his fifties, with white strands in his hair, who looked a little older than him.

Just like this, can martial arts be comparable to Zhongkang?

Cao Cao's first reaction was disbelief.

But this is what Su Chen said. Cao Cao, who knew the character of the military advisor, did not doubt Huang Zhong for the first time. He planned to test it first.

Coincidentally, Xu Chu walked in from outside after finishing his work.

"Zhongkang, come and come, and compete with the old general Huang in front of you."

Cao Cao beckoned.

Xu Chu came over, glanced at Huang Zhong and frowned: "My lord, I don't fight with old and weak women and children."

Hearing this, Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows.

"This general, does it mean that he doesn't like the veteran? Lian Po is eighty, and he still eats ten kilograms of rice and meat. Although Huang Zhong is not as good as Lian Po, he is not a drooping old man."

After that, he pushed Wei Yan away, stepped on the ground with his feet, and assumed a posture of sinking his waist.

The ground seemed to tremble slightly.

Xu Chu was shocked when he saw it, and then looked at Huang Zhong in amazement.

The old man in front of him seems really not simple.

The hand he showed just now is stronger than many people he has seen.

"Zhongkang, this veteran was recommended by the military adviser. His martial arts are not inferior to you, so you can go up and compare with him without hurting anyone." Cao Cao watched it from the side and wanted to see the two fight each other. When he was in the field, he gave Xu Chu an order directly.

Hearing that Su Chen said it, Xu Chu showed a solemn expression.

Soldiers never lie!

Xu Chu nodded and said to Huang Zhong, "That veteran wait for a while, and come back when I take off my shirt."

Say it.

He took off his armor, grabbed the big knife in his hand, and walked towards Huang Zhong.
