Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 412 The Unpredictable Wisdom of Ghosts and Gods
In front of the map of Yuzhou, Wang Zheng stood with his hands behind his back.

"As a matter of great importance to a soldier's country, one often encounters a dilemma. If you focus on one, you will lose the other. But sometimes, this is not the case."

Looking around the audience with tiger eyes, he smiled and said: "Just now, all the gentlemen were talking and eloquent. I would have been listening for a long time, but now I want to ask first. Now Cao Cao wants to capture Yuzhou first and wipe out the Yellow Turbans. Is my choice in Xuzhou really only aiding or not?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and felt that Wang Zheng asked rather strangely. Could there be a third option?

Either to rescue the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou would be to tear up the contract and set up another front in the southwest of Xuzhou before the Beihai was completely calmed down. If they didn't help, they would just sit back and watch and let Cao Cao continue to grow.

In fact, these two options have their own advantages and disadvantages, which is also the reason for the endless civil and military disputes in Fang Caitang.

"Then put it another way."

Wang Zheng raised his brows, and said seriously: "If you put aside the threat of Cao Cao's increased strength, and don't consider the reason that the main force of our army is attacking Beihai, Huang Jun and Baoman sent people to ask for help. Will it be saved or not? Should it be rescued or not.”

Guo Jia's heart moved when he heard the words, and he pondered thoughtfully, while Huang Zhong on the other side said directly: "Of course it's hopeless!"

"My lord and these two are neither relatives nor old friends, and they have never met before. If you talk about the friendship of the same way, the lord is now a Han subject, and there is no reason to help such rebellious officials and thieves."

"That's right." Wang Zheng laughed and said, "Speaking of these two gentlemen, Mo Shuo has never seen each other before, and this is the first time I've even heard their names. It's fortunate that they can think about it at this critical moment. to me."

As he said that, he shrugged his shoulders and joked to himself: "It seems that I have a little reputation now."

When everyone cheered and laughed, Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he said immediately: "My lord is very knowledgeable, and what I say is not bad."

"There is indeed a third option!"

Sure enough, Guo Jia reacted the fastest.

Wang Zheng nodded appreciatively, and immediately sat down again: "Since that's the case, Fengxiao, it's up to you to speak."

"Here!"

Guo Jia, who was identified as the key point, stepped forward boldly and said loudly: "As Zheng Fang said, because Yan and Xu states live next to each other, there is no suspicion of rescue. Cao Cao and the lord will have a battle sooner or later!"

"Therefore, in addition to self-improvement, our army must also always pay attention to the movements of Cao's army, always guard against the passing of time, and restrain the enemy's development momentum!"

"My lord has a famous saying before, don't do what your enemy wants you to do, the reason is very simple, that's what your enemy wants!"

When he said this, Guo Jia waved his hands to Wang Zheng, but he didn't notice that Wang Zheng touched his nose in embarrassment, and secretly apologized to the foreign king in the future.

Guo Jia continued: "What we have to do now is to do the opposite. We can't let Cao Cao easily achieve success and get what he wants. The reason is also simple. The stronger the generation, the greater the threat. In the future, the Lord will defeat this The more people spend, the more trouble they will have!"

"So, this time, we must not allow Cao Cao to take back Yuzhou easily!"

Speaking of this, in fact, many people present have faintly reacted, but Mi Fang was half a beat behind, the more she listened, the more confused she became, and she couldn't help asking: "The military master's implication is to change the course and agree with what Ni Heng said. Send troops to rescue Huangjun and Baoman?"

"No and no." Guo Jia laughed dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "Preventing Cao Cao from recovering Yuzhou and rescuing Huangjun and Baoman are not necessarily the same thing."

He strode forward and came to the map of Yuzhou to point out Jiangshan:
"In the first year of Xingping, according to the statistics, there were more than 110 million registered households in Yuzhou, with nearly 800 million people. It is the most prosperous state in the world, with six counties and hundreds of cities in the territory, of which Runan is second only to Guangwu and Longxing. Nanyang is truly the second largest county in the world!"

"And in the land of the six counties, there are currently three parties who can hunt!"

"Cao Cao who occupies Yingchuan and Lu, Yuan Shu who occupies Pei and most of Runan, and Yuzhou Huangjin who occupies Chen, Liang and part of Runan."

Guo Jia paused, looked sideways and asked: "The forces of Huangjun and Baoman are now in Chen and Liang. May I ask you, how far are these two countries from my Xiapi? If a large army goes out, how many days will it take?" "

This question naturally had to be answered by Huang Zhong, who was the most experienced present.

He also did his part, and approached the wall to look at it for a while, then said: "If you start from Xiapi, you will have to pass through the entire Pei Kingdom by land. If you go in a straight line, you don't need to consider the problem of luggage. The quality of the Heavenly Army, seven or eight days is enough, but..."

After thinking for a while, Huang Zhong added: "Although Pei State is within Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, the north is Lu State. It is hard to guarantee that Cao Cao will not send sentries and cavalry. If he wants to cover up his voice and avoid the cities along the way, he must spare him. Some of the original routes, I am afraid it will take more than ten days."

"General Huang is indeed a man who knows how to fight." Guo Jia praised first, and then asked: "If our army doesn't rush to help Chen and Liang, do you think the other side can defend?"

"I can't keep it!" Huang Zhong said without hesitation: "Yuzhou Yellow Turban originally thought that He Yi and Liu Pi were the strongest, and the last general had heard of their names when he was in Jingzhou. Hey, not only the lord has never heard of it, even the last general didn't know about it before, so I'm just a mediocre person."

"Xiahou Dun is a general under Cao Cao's command, and now he has the prestige of a big victory. I think Huang Jun and Baoman will not only be unable to defend, but they are more likely to be defeated in one blow!"

"What about Runan?" Guo Jia asked again: "If Xiahou Dun is allowed to seize the two countries again, it will be difficult to preserve Peiguo. In the end, only Yuan Shu's power in Runan will be left. How does General Huang think Cao Yuan will win or lose?"

"This"

Huang Zhong was a little hesitant. After all, with his previous status and experience, it was difficult to make an accurate judgment when it involved the confrontation between the two princes.

At this moment, Wang Zheng on the side categorically gave the answer on his behalf.

"Yuan Shu must be defeated!"

Now even Guo Jia couldn't help but looked over in surprise, as if he was surprised that Wang Zheng was so sure.

"My lord," Guo Jia asked, "If Yuan Shu is defeated, will our army help or not?"

"It must be saved!" Wang Zheng said seriously: "If Cao Cao is allowed to unify Yuzhou and then take the name of the emperor, it will be a serious disaster!"

"Besides, with such a powerful enemy staring at us, peeping at one side, we can't survive in Xuzhou's territory. How can I spare the energy to expand outside?"

"If it is aid, how will it be aided and how many troops will be sent?"

Wang Zheng pondered for a while, and said: "Divide troops from Pengcheng and Xiapi to help. As for the troops, with the strength of Cao Cao's strong army, at least 2 people are needed!"

"How much rations do I need for 2 people? Most of what I harvested last year in Xuzhou has been used in the war in the Beihai Kingdom. The remaining rations and grass are really difficult to sustain an expedition of tens of thousands of people. Not to mention the fatigue of the soldiers, but this one , it is absolutely impossible.”

"It is to collect food and grass. If we divide troops from Pengcheng and Xiapi to assist Runan, we need to transfer food and fodder thousands of miles away, and a lot of waste will be lost on the way. The author has tens of thousands of people to feed grain for thousands of miles, and the rate is more than ten minutes to one stone." In this way, five hundred miles is halved, and one stone of grain is transported. The waste of roads and the consumption of civilians need at least ten times this."

"That's why." Guo Jia said solemnly: "Our army is going to send troops at this time, but it is not to rescue the Yuzhou Yellow Turban, but to take advantage of Cao Cao's general situation, to prepare for the transfer of grain and grass in advance, and to open up an important transportation route! "

"If we really want to participate in the Cao Yuan battle in the future, at least we must first grasp the initiative, and ensure that we can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat!"

It made sense, Wang Zheng nodded and asked, "How to do it?"

Guo Jia smiled, pointed at the map, and slowly said three place names: "Ningping, Xiangxian, Yilu!"

"Ningping? Xiangxian? Yilu?"

Everyone looked at the map at the same time, and most of them whispered to each other, either puzzled or thoughtful, but Wang Zheng and Huang Zhong watched it intently for a while, and then praised it in unison.

"Wonderful!"

If you look at it from the map, these three cities happen to be in the central hinterland of Yuzhou, forming a triangular shape with mutual angles, and at the same time, there is a large water system called Pi River running through it.

"Ningping is just in the territory of Chen State, and Xiang County and Yilu are located at the junction of Chen State and Runan County. These places are only three or four hundred miles away from the center of Runan. The roads along the way are smooth and there are no mountains and rivers. It can be reached in five days."

"If our army goes out this time for the purpose of mutual assistance, it will be like picking up something from a pocket to get these two cities!"

Guo Jia looked at the crowd and further explained: "Look, gentlemen, these three cities look at Runan to the south and Yingchuan to the west. If Cao Cao's army does not move, then I will also stand still. Just sit and watch. If you dare to attack Runan brazenly, then I can go out completely and take the rear route! In this way, our army can not only temporarily avoid the frontal battle with the enemy, but also seem to defend and attack, and strike later!"

"And if these three cities are won, there are mountains and rivers barriers between them, and they can watch and help each other. At the same time, relying on the Pihe River, I can also transport Xuzhou locals, regardless of food, grass, soldiers, equipment, swords and armor, in the shortest time. support."

"It can even be said that if Cao Cao fights Yuan Shu, with Ning Ping in hand, our army does not need to participate in the battle at all. We only need to find out the specific situation of Cao's army's logistics. At that time, only a thousand elite tigers from the Tianzhu Camp will be required to go out, or burn Its granary, or cutting off its grain road, once the plan is completed, the position of Runan will be relieved, and Cao Cao will not be able to unify Yuzhou! This is one of them."

"If our army rushes to help Runan from Xiapi, it will be a long-distance exhausted army. If our army captures three cities, we will send troops to garrison in advance. The momentum is suddenly different. This is the second."

"As long as we take down the three cities of Ningping, the initiative will be under our control. Isn't our army going to fight as we want?"

"The above two are short-term benefits. After winning the three cities of Ningping, the most important thing is that it has long-term and medium benefits for Xuzhou."

Guo Jia straightened his clothes, bowed down to Wang Zheng, and said, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I will bring up this proposal to the lord after the Beihai Kingdom is pacified. Since it is the right time for the meeting, we might as well advance this discussion."

"Oh?" Hearing the words, Wang Zheng's spirit was lifted, and he immediately straightened his body: "I will listen to you with all my ears."

"The three cities of Ningping are located in the hinterland of Yuzhou. The territory and surrounding areas are densely covered with lush vegetation, verdant mountains, fertile fields, and fertile land. It not only has important strategic value, but also has great economic significance. This is one of the long-term benefits."

"From Ningping to the north, there are several roads leading directly to Chenliu, Yanzhou!"

"Chenliu is the place where Cao Cao raised his troops. It is also the west gate of Yanzhou. It is directly adjacent to Yingchuan and Henan Yin. It is even less than three hundred miles away from Xudu!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia's eyes glowed with surging confidence: "My lord, once the three cities of Ningping are conquered, with the help of the surrounding mountains, we can build barriers and build fortifications, which can not only stop Cao Cao's surge, but also seize the future Yuzhou. The initiative on the battlefield, when the war is slightly calmed down, you can build a new city based on the three cities, build a new city, gather an elite and strong army, and once the time is right, you can go straight in at any time and surprise Chenliu!"

"As long as Chen Liu is captured, it will directly cut off Cao Cao's current territory and power, and cut off from it. I dare to say that the day of Cao Cao's defeat is not far away!"

"And from Ningping to the east, the road leading to Pengcheng is Peiguo County. There are ready-made roads and post stations, which can be put into use with a little repair. Whether to take this place or not, when to take it, all depends At the moment of my lord's thought, Yuan Shu is stern and soft-hearted, since the battle in Xuzhou, he has been afraid of my lord like a tiger, so I don't think he would dare to take the initiative to turn his face."

"Once the lord captures Peiguo, he can connect Pengcheng, Peiguo, and Ningping into a line. This is to lead the line with points and draw the surface with lines, which can be attacked and defended."

"How do you say it can be attacked and defended? Our army won Ningping. If there is no war in the future, there will be Ningping's barrier in front, such as a shield that can be defended. If there is a war, the strength of the six counties will be concentrated, and Ningping will attack in front. , like a piercing spear!"

"If there is a military incident in Yuzhou, our army will arrive in a few days, and the overall situation will be controlled. If there is nothing wrong, we can prepare for it and look north to Chenliu at any time!"

The people in the hall are all important officials under Wang Zheng's command. The meaning of Guo Jia's last sentence is naturally understood. The key to taking down the three cities of Ningping is not only to curb the process of Cao Cao's unification of Yuzhou, but also to form a powerful threat to his real base Yanzhou .

Since it is a great enemy and a strong enemy, instead of preventing it from growing stronger and stronger, the better way is naturally to find an opportunity to kill it in the cradle, which is even better!

"Good, good, good!"

Wang Zheng suddenly got up, walked quickly to the wall, stared at the map for a long time, and then directly found the location of Ningping, Xiangxian, and Yilu, marked it with his own hand, turned his head and looked at Guo Jia, his eyes were full of words Appreciation: "Following the theory of filial piety is really shocking. What do you think?"

Zhang Zhao was the first to speak and said, "With the wisdom of filial piety, ghosts and gods are also unpredictable. I am ashamed of myself!"

These words were indeed from the bottom of my heart, but in my heart, Zhang Zhao secretly added something, only for military affairs.

Others are also convinced, including the arrogant and confident Mi Heng.

"Since that's the case, then it's settled."

Wang Zheng said with a smile, and then looked at Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng, you go to see an envoy from Yuzhou on my behalf, and said that I will send troops to Yuzhou in the near future to help the two comrades!"

"Here!"
