Three Kingdoms Online Games: Battle for Hegemony

In Luoyang City, Huangfu Chaobo finally breathed a long sigh of relief. After more than a year of planning, he finally decided on the plan to send troops to attack Cao Cao’s army. Now, only after the beginning of spring next year, when the army is ready to be in place, he can tell Cao Cao. The army launched a thunder blow.

But what he didn't expect was that in the city of Yanzhou and Changyi hundreds of miles away, his old rival Cao Cao was also gathering generals for discussion, and the content of the discussion turned out to be sending troops to attack Qingzhou after the beginning of the spring next year.

In the chamber, Cao Cao was seated above the main seat, and underneath were the first officers of Cao Cao's army and several relatives and close generals. Among the civil servants, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Sima Yi, and Liu Ye were headed, plus a few county prefects, such as Pi Prefect Manchu, Sanyang Prefect Chen Qun, Lean Guoxiang Chen Jiao, Ren Chengxiang Weihong, Zhong Harrier, Ren Jun, Xi Li and others, and the generals are the two Cao and Liang Xiahou as the heads, plus Li Dian, Le Jin and others who first took refuge in Cao Cao.

On one wall of the chamber, there was a map of the Central Plains states. In front of the map, the young Sima Yi was holding a long wooden pole, and loyally explained his plan to the public.

It’s a pity that since Sima Yi’s surrender, he has planned several campaigns against Huangfu Chaobo, but none of them succeeded. Moreover, Huangfu Chaobo’s power is getting stronger and stronger. So this time the strategy is the Cao family and Xiahou. The family brothers just looked at him with sneers, without saying a word.

After Sima Yi finished speaking, Cao Ren said: "Meng De, do you want to listen to this little baby again this time? You know, we have tried Huangfu Chaobo several times before, but in the end, we were not able to get much better. Huangfu’s Chaobo strength has become stronger every time."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly when he heard it. He didn't expect Cao Ren to ask himself in front of everyone, isn't this just hitting Sima Yi in the face on the spot?

When he was about to speak, he saw Sima Yi blushing and said to Cao Ren: "General Zixiao, he has failed to super-blog Huangfu several times, but our Yanzhou Army has also made considerable progress. "

After listening to Sima Yi’s words, Cao Ren was not easy to refute. It is true that Huangfu’s superpower is becoming stronger and his own situation is gradually becoming stronger. Not to mention anything else, only the past few years have attacked Xuzhou first, then Qingzhou, and will control The scope has doubled.

Seeing this, Cao Ren stopped talking and backed away.

Upon seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Zixiao, this matter was planned by Zhongda. The situation between a certain and Huangfu Chaobo has long been endless. If Huainan has been decided, Sun Cejun will also be with a certain family. Instead, if you don’t take this opportunity to weaken Huangfu’s Chaobo, it will be a future problem if you take time. That’s why certain decided to send troops to Qingzhou as soon as possible to capture the two counties of Qingzhou and weaken Huangfu’s Chaobo power."

As soon as Cao Cao spoke, everyone couldn't say anything. Sima Yi told everyone about the deployment arrangements of the army under Cao Cao's signal.

According to the discussions between Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Sima Yi, the purpose of sending troops next year is to capture the Qingzhou two counties of Huangfu Chaobo. Therefore, the army must prevent the Huangfu Chaobo army from attacking in the west, while the east will use the army to Qingzhou launched a thunderous blow, and before Sizhou’s reinforcements arrived, at least most of the two counties of Qingzhou had to be occupied.

However, Huangfu Chaobo’s Sizhou army has only two options from the assembly to the arrival of Qingzhou. One is to attack Yanzhou Dongjun, Jiyang and Liangguo to achieve the purpose of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. The other is to assemble troops quickly from the east of the river. Advance, send troops to directly support Qingzhou.

Originally, Sima Yi's suggestion was to send troops directly before the river was frozen, but Cao Cao did not agree. One is that sending troops in winter is not easy. If you don't do it well, you will fail miserably. On the contrary, stealing chickens will lose a handful of rice. The second is that the mobilization of the army and the preparation of food, grass and weapons will take time.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, Cao Cao decided to dispatch troops after the spring ploughing in March. As for the reinforcements in Sizhou, Cao Cao considered the flood season of the river.

In recent years, with the emergence of the freezing of river water every winter, the river has flood seasons in the four seasons of the year, which are called Taoxun, Fuxun, Autumn Flood, and Lingxun.

At the end of March and early April of each year, the water storage capacity of the river channel is released due to the thawing of the Bingzhou river section, but because the icy floods of the Bingzhou section spread to the lower reaches, it is the peach blossom season, so it is called "Peach Flood"; in summer The torrential rains and floods formed in July and August are called "fuxun" because they are in the midday; the torrential rains and floods formed in autumn, September and October, are called "autumn floods". The two seasons of autumn and autumn are connected, and both are the seasons when torrential rains and floods occur. Collectively referred to as "Fuqiu Great Flood"; in the first and second months of spring, due to the freezing of the lower reaches of the river, a large amount of water is stored in the river channel. When the river is thawed and opened, a flood peak is often formed, accompanied by a large amount of ice, which is easy to bend in a narrow river. Duanka ice blocked the water and blocked high water level, threatening the safety of the dike, so it was called "Lingxun".

The time that Cao Cao chose was the period of Taoxun. If the time was well coordinated, it would happen that Huangfu Chaobo’s reinforcements were stuck in Sizhou.

In fact, Cao Cao chose to go out after the spring ploughing in March, the purpose of which is the same as that of Huangfu Chaobo, not to delay the summer harvest in Qingzhou. If the East Army can still purchase grain from outside, then Cao Cao can only rely on the territory under his control to grow grain without even having the opportunity to purchase grain, so Cao Cao attaches great importance to grain.

Sima Yi and the others were finally persuaded by Cao Cao to set the time for the deployment of troops between March 10 and 15.

As for the arrangement of troops, several people felt that it is best for Cao Cao to lead the army to defend against possible offensives in the direction of Sizhou, and delegate the task of attacking Qingzhou to Qingzhou prefect Xia Houyuan. He leads the Chinese soldiers and horses in the four counties of Chengguo, Lu, Jibei, and Qingzhou. The total number of elite soldiers and horses will reach nearly 40,000 soldiers, and the tens of thousands of foreign troops drawn from the seven counties are not. The total strength of the county soldiers and civilians is nearly 100,000.

However, the Zhengdong Army had only 50,000 elite soldiers in Qingzhou, but they had to defend the range of dozens of cities in two counties. As for the thousands of prefecture soldiers in each city, everyone did not take it seriously.

For the sake of safety, Cao Cao transferred another 10,000 tiger and leopard horses to Xia Houyuan in order to deal with the more than 10,000 cavalry in the Qingzhou Conquest. Although Cao Cao did not value Huangfu Chaobo’s most important ally, Kong Yu’s Yuzhou Army, he transferred another 10,000 of the 30,000 Chinese Army to Qiao County and handed it over to Cao Hong, who would command the 10,000 headquarters. In his view, Cao Hong’s 30,000 army was sufficient to deal with the Yuzhou army’s attack.
