Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 2806: Shang Sheng Fan Li, prepare for a rainy day

 In general, Yang Guang's order to unify the Qiang was bad news for ordinary people, but it was good news for the Wei, Song and Ming Dynasties, and the good news was not the only one.

I have to say that since the Qin army sent troops, the forces that were attacked by the Qin army have hardly encountered any good things.

It was not until Yang Guang issued the order to understand the Qiang that some good news finally came, and this was regarded by the Three Kingdoms Alliance as the beginning of good times.

As for the second piece of good news, the Tubo Kingdom on the snowy plateau agreed to Yang Guang's request for help and sent the famous general Lun Qinling to lead an army of 100,000 to support the Sui Kingdom.

As soon as this news came out, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming were very excited. After all, just one order to relieve the Qiang could already add 100,000 troops to the Sui Kingdom. If the 100,000 Tibetan reinforcements were added, it would be a full 200,000 reinforcements. ah.

The Sui State's own military strength was more than 200,000. If these 200,000 reinforcements were added, the total strength of the Sui, Tuqiang and Qiang coalition forces would be more than 400,000.

At this moment, all the countries in the Central Plains were full of hope for the Sui State, thinking that Yang Guang might really be able to break Li Jing's trap and drag the 300,000 Qin troops to the northwest.

 Chen Liu, Dunqiu.

After Cao Cao learned that Yang Guang had issued an order to relieve the Qiang and that 100,000 Tibetan troops were aiding the Sui Dynasty, he felt happy but also a little complicated.

 Happily, the Sui State had 200,000 more reinforcements. The Sui side's strength increased greatly. The Qin army could not quickly destroy the Sui State. The war between the two countries would definitely be prolonged.

The complication is that he clearly hates Yang Guang's behavior of disregarding the interests of the nation for his own selfishness, but he can ask himself, if he were in Yang Guang's situation, he might behave the same way as Yang Guang, or even Even more bottomless than Yang Guang.

Cao Cao has said in public more than once that his biggest dream in this life is to have his tombstone inscribed on his tombstone after his death: The tomb of Cao Cao, the general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the West.

But the fact is that Cao Cao has long forgotten his original intention and has become what he hates most, becoming a slave to power.

Shaking his head and dispelling the distracting thoughts, Cao Cao asked: "Two military advisors, Yang Guang now has 200,000 more reinforcements, can he break Li Jing's trap?"

Cheng Yu Fusu smiled and said: "According to the intelligence sent back, Meng Tian only has 70,000 to 80,000 troops in Haizhou, but he has to face nearly 300,000 Sui, Tuqiang, and Qiang coalition forces.

With such a huge gap in troops, Meng Tian would never be able to defend Xining. Once Xining was captured by the coalition forces, Daxing's dilemma would be solved, and Qin and Sui Dynasties would also be trapped in a long-term tug of war. "

As soon as this statement came out, most of the generals present could not help but express their approval. After all, the gap in military strength between the two sides was indeed too large. However, Fan Li, who was also a military advisor, stood up and retorted:

"Zhongde's words are wrong. The situation of trapping the dragon is complete. How can it be so easy to break? What's more, the person who planned the layout is Li Jing."

Hearing Fan Li's words, Cao Cao asked unhappily: "Does the military advisor think that the 300,000-strong Sui, Tuqiang, and Qiang coalition forces are no match for Meng Tian?"

 “No, Li didn’t say that.”

Fan Li took a deep breath and said unhurriedly: "If it's just Meng Tian, ​​the Qin army is very likely to be defeated. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, and the Qin army went deep into Haizhou alone, and the location is favorable. He is not in the Qin army."

But you must know that the main general of the Qin Dynasty's attack on the Sui Dynasty was Li Jing. How could Li Jing watch Meng Tian's defeat and remain indifferent? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Cao Cao, nodded unconsciously. After all, as the only person in the Qin Dynasty who had a chance to catch up with Bai Qi, Li Jing, who had also not yet been defeated, was not just a boast.

"Li guessed that with Li Jing's cautious personality, he might postpone the attack on Daxing and instead focus on besieging Daxing. He would then personally lead the reinforcements to support Meng Tian. After defeating the Haizhou coalition, he would turn his guns and attack Daxing. I’m afraid this battle will continue.”

Fan Li said emphatically, but not everyone believed it this time. Cao Ang even retorted directly:

"This is unlikely. As soon as Daxing City is broken, the Qin army will win. If we postpone the attack on Daxing at this time, wouldn't it give Yang Guang a chance to breathe?"

"That's right, even if Li Jing brings reinforcements to support Meng Tian, ​​with the absolute military disadvantage, it may be difficult to defeat Haizhou's 300,000 coalition troops. Daxing City is obviously better to fight." Cao Hong said.

“Wrong, for Li Jing, the 300,000 coalition troops in Haizhou are actually easier to deal with than Daxing City.”

Cao Cao looked at the map of Xiliang and said in a deep voice: "Daxing is the most fortified city in Liangzhou. It has high walls and thick walls, and a large number of defenders. Now there are a large number of reinforcements from outside. If Li Jing attacks by force, he will definitely stir up trouble inside the city." The defenders resisted desperately, and it was impossible to break the city without fighting for several months.

On the contrary, although the coalition forces are large in number, they are not of one mind, and the Tibetan and Qiang people will not fight to the end for the Sui State and the Qin Army. Once the casualties are too high, they are likely to shrink back.

 Therefore, for Li Jing, it would be much easier to deal with the coalition forces in Haizhou first than to attack Daxing by force. "

Hearing Cao Cao's words, the generals suddenly showed their faces, and they were obviously aware of the secret behind this.

"The most important point is that in the situation of trapped dragon, the initiative lies in the hands of the Qin army. Although the Sui army has many troops, it is still passive. It can only reverse this move at any cost to reverse the situation. "

After saying that, Fan Li saw that everyone had solemn faces, so he changed his tone and said with a smile: "In short, no matter whether Li Jing supports Meng Tian first or attacks Daxing first, this battle will not end in a short time. The Sui Kingdom will not end in a short time." The country will not be destroyed at home, which is naturally a good thing for me, the Wei Dynasty. "

 Hearing this, Cao Cao knew that the direction of the war in the northwest would most likely be what Fan Li expected, because Fan Li had not said he had missed anything yet.

In Cao Cao's view, among the five military advisors under his command: Fan Li, Cao GUI, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Chen Gong, Fan Li had the highest strategic level.

In fact, Cao Cao also knew that Fan Li was no worse than Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Liu Bowen and other Qin army strategists. The reason why he had not achieved matching achievements yet, and the world's evaluation of him was far less than the former, was mainly due to Cao Wei's weak national power. dragged down.

After all, when the strategy reaches a certain level, the final competition is the comprehensive national strength, and the resources Fan Li understands and controls are naturally incomparable with Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and the competition between the two sides is unfair from the beginning.

 Also because of his relationship with Fan Zeng, although Cao Cao used Fan Li on the surface, he was always on guard against him deep down.

 Cao Cao felt that Fan Li lacked an opportunity. As long as he could create a relatively fair environment and shorten the gap between him and Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Fan Li could seize the opportunity and soar into the sky.

There is an opportunity in front of him now, but Cao Cao does not have the ability to create it, so Fan Li still needs to find a way on his own, and this opportunity is: to lure the devil into the water.

 Cao Cao did not tell Fan Li about the plan to seize the Demon Sect before. He was afraid that Fan Li would notify Fan Zeng, so he only informed Le Yi and Xun You and did not let Fan Li participate in it. Although Cao Cao made up his mind to drag the Demon Sect into trouble, Guo Jia's previous assassination attempt made the Demon Sect become wary of Cao Wei.

The Demon Sect was originally unwilling to wade into troubled waters, and now that it is wary, it is naturally not so easy to be pulled into the water. Therefore, even if Cao Cao allows Le Yi and Xun You to make sacrifices, he still has not thought of a good way.

Now Cao Cao has absolutely no choice but to become the doctor of the dead horse. Let Fan Li, the first military advisor, participate and give him due trust and support to see if Fan Li can stir up this stagnant water. .

 [Ding dong, Fan Li’s skill ‘Shang Sheng’ is activated;

 Shang Sheng: This is Fan Li’s unique skill;

 Effect 5, it can protect yourself and the members of your camp from suffering negative effects by half;】

 That night, Cao Cao summoned Fan Li alone and revealed the entire plan without reservation.

 【Ding dong, Fan Li’s skill ‘Shang Sheng’ effect 1 is activated, intelligence +2;

Fan Li: Command 85, Force 73 (+5), Intelligence 101 (+1), Politics 97 (+1), Charisma 93, Special attributes: Business 100;

 Fan Li's current intelligence has increased to 103;】

Fan Li did not blame Cao Cao for hiding something from him. After all, for a monarch, it is an advantage to be prepared for everything.

 Besides, considering my relationship with Fan Zeng, it would be a problem if I didn't take any precautions.

But it is obviously impossible to say that Fan Li had no complaints in his heart. After all, if he had known about it in advance, he would have at least made fewer mistakes.

From Fan Li's perspective, Cao Wei has made several fatal mistakes in the matter of pulling the Demon Sect into the water, such as the death of Niu Ruyi.

Although Xun You did not leave any evidence, the timing of his attack was not good.

It would be fine if Ye Dingzhi had not been assassinated, but Ye Dingzhi had been assassinated beforehand, and Niu Ruyi suddenly died suddenly at this time. It would be difficult not to arouse the suspicion of the demon sect.

Now that the Demon Sect has become wary, they will think about it before encountering problems in the future. Although it will not leave Cao Wei with no room for maneuver, the difficulty of dragging the Demon Sect into the water is obviously more than ten times greater than before.

“My lord, it’s true that we didn’t send someone to assassinate Ye Dingzhi?” Fan Li asked.

"no."

“I’m afraid Da Qin did it on purpose.” Fan Li sighed lightly.

"How could it be possible? What reason did Da Qin have to assassinate Ye..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao suddenly reacted.

Although Da Qin had no reason to assassinate Ye Dingzhi, it could deliberately take advantage of this to draw suspicion to Cao Wei, thereby raising the vigilance of the demon sect through Ye Dingzhi to prevent Cao Wei from instigating discord in the future.

At this thought, Cao Cao suddenly took a breath of cold air.

 “Hiss, what a good way to prepare for a rainy day.”

He just had the idea of ​​​​pulling the Demon Sect into trouble, but before he took action, Da Qin had already taken precautions against it. It was too scary to have such an unprepared mind.

"Jia Xu, this must be Jia Xu's plan. This old poison is too sinister."

Cao Cao said through gritted teeth, obviously hating Jia Xu very much.

 “No, it shouldn’t be Jia Xu this time.”

Fan Li's eyes were full of wisdom, and he analyzed calmly: "If you want to complete this series of layouts, you must cooperate with Heibingtai, and Jia Xu is no longer the commander of Heibingtai. Now Heibingtai is led by Guo Jia Control, so it is most likely Guo Jia’s handiwork.”

 “Is Guo Fengxiao?”

When Cao Cao mentioned this name, a hint of complexity flashed in Cao Cao's eyes. After all, Guo Jia was born in the Guo family of Yingchuan. If it were not for Ying Hao, he might be able to conquer him.

"Military advisor, after Guo Jia's interference, the Demon Sect has become wary of us, and the effect of any alienation plan will be greatly reduced. Do you think we still have a chance to drag the Demon Sect into trouble?"

Cao Cao asked with a hopeful look on his face. He had no choice but to pin all his hopes on Fan Li, hoping that Fan Li's smart brain could come up with a way to break the current deadlock.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Fan Li pondered for a moment and said bluntly: "My lord, you and Gongda may have been looking in the wrong direction from the beginning when it comes to pulling the Demon Sect into the water."

 I'm very sorry that the update has been suspended for so long. The author has changed jobs.

 Because of the author's mother, she took a lot of leave in the first two months, which made the company's leaders a little dissatisfied. As a result, the company was going to lay off employees this month, so the author was prioritized for optimization.

I was busy quarreling with my ex-company before, and I was still trying to fight to the death. Now my job is gone, and I have to find a new job. But it’s not easy to find a job now. I’m afraid I need to take a salary cut to find it, but I’m sure No one wants to take the initiative to cut their salary

　Today, the first half of the year was really rough. All kinds of bad things were crowded together. I hope things will turn around in the second half of the year.

Let’s not talk about these unhappy things. I would like to recommend a novel called Summons of the Three Kingdoms to everyone: "The Summons of the Three Kingdoms: Struggle for Hegemony in Troubled Times"

This is a fan of this book. The author has read it himself and the writing is very good, but there are not many words. If you are interested, you can read it and give the new author some encouragement so that he can have the motivation to continue writing.
