The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 354

Cao Cao was really impatient this time. He only made a trip to Hanzhong, but he was completely passive. Liu Xiao and his two armies, staring at Xudu all the way and sweeping Yanzhou and Yuzhou all the way, were really unstoppable.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Yu Jin were defeated one after another. The [-] to [-] troops under his command were almost completely lost, and their vitality was seriously injured, definitely their vitality...

If Cao Cao can bear the loss of 200 to [-] troops, once Yuzhou and the eastern counties of Yanzhou are all lost, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to bear the price. The population of [-] million is already the total population controlled by Cao Cao. One quarter, once the population and land are gone, there will be huge difficulties whether it is taxes, money, food or recruiting soldiers. Not to mention Liu Xiao, even Liu Bei's strength will surpass him!
In desperation, Cao Cao directly ordered Li Dian, who was staying in Nanyang, to immediately recruit [-] troops, and the recruitment must be completed in the shortest possible time. He led the army all the way to the south of Jiyin to confront Yue Fei's army.

It's just that the army brought by Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun's troops have already surpassed Yue Fei's troops, but now across the Yellow River, it is not so easy for Cao Cao to cross the Yellow River and defeat Yue Fei. As for Yue Fei, his troops are already at a disadvantage , and there is still a lack of boats, it is even more difficult to cross the river.

However, after all, Cao Cao does not dare to procrastinate like this now. Although he has the upper hand now, Liu Xiao still has more than 3 troops in Chenliu City, and besides Liu Xiao, Zhou Yu also has [-] troops in Xuzhou. However, once Liu Xiao or Zhou Yu attacked, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. If he wanted to turn the situation around, he had to defeat Yue Fei so that he could concentrate on dealing with Liu Xiao.

"Cao Hong, how many ships can we collect now, and how many will there be if we deploy troops to the other side of the Yellow River at once?"

Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

Cao Hong quickly said: "My lord, we have collected almost all the ships on the north bank of Jiyin and the south bank of Jiyin. There are a total of 2 large ships and more than [-] other small and medium ships. If all of them are used, the one-time troop movement can be enough It reached [-] people. However, on the Yellow River, the waves are rough, and small boats crossing the river are easy to capsize. The former Yuan Rang led the army to retreat. Among them, more than [-] people drowned because of the capsized boat. If we put all the boats into battle, If we forcefully attack the opposite ferry, our losses will probably be doubled in a big battle..."

Cao Cao's heart twitched, and the casualties would double, so how can it be done? Now that Cao Cao died, he would be so distressed that he would die. You must know that you don't have much elite power in your hands, and your troops are stretched. If there are heavy casualties again, don't worry. It is very difficult for Yue Fei and Liu Xiao to attack, just to control the three states they control.

Cao Cao frowned, remained silent, and was very anxious.

"My lord..."

Sima Yi on the side said suddenly: "Now that our two armies are separated by the Yellow River, neither of us can do anything easily. If we want to decide the victory in a short time, the only way is to fight on land. Either we attack by force, or Just lure Yue Fei to cross the river! Now Yue Fei has more than [-] cavalry and nearly [-] infantry. Although the troops are not weak, they are obviously out of balance. Then their combat strength is no different from infantry, or even worse than infantry..."

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, and he muttered, "Zhongda, what do you mean..."

Sima Yi replied: "It is almost impossible to storm Yue Fei's ferry. We are not prepared enough, and there are too few big ships. Relying on small boats can't guarantee safety at all. What's more, there are tens of thousands of Yue Fei's troops stationed on the other side. There will also be heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses. When Liu Xiao's army arrives, we will still be in danger. The current plan is to lure Yue Fei to cross the river. Being unprepared for a moment, across the Yellow River, and failing to rescue him in time, will definitely make him suffer a big loss, and we will take advantage of the victory to take the Yellow River Ferry with the smallest price!"

Xiahou Dun hesitated and said: "It's just that Yue Fei doesn't have a boat in his hands now. Even if we lure them to attack, how can they cross the river without a boat? How can they attack?"

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Fake surrender, order a general to lead the ship to surrender. In order to convince Yue Fei, you can present the military deployment map to dispel his doubts. Yue Fei will definitely launch an attack on us after getting the ship and deployment map. This is our chance! No matter when he comes, cavalry or infantry, let him come and go!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Zhong Da is indeed very resourceful. With this good strategy, why worry about Yue Fei's invincibility?"

"Just, who can go to Yue Fei's army to feign surrender?"

Jia Xu asked.

Cao Cao raised his eyes and saw that almost everyone present was a strong general in the army. His confidants wanted Yue Fei not to be suspicious, but it was not that simple.

"Respect!"

Cao Cao glanced at Yu Chigong, and said in a deep voice, "Would you like to go and have a try?"

"I?"

Yu Chigong was taken aback for a moment, and said blankly: "My lord, but I have an assignment, the last general will of course be willing to die, but Yue Fei is extremely shrewd, I am afraid that the last general will not be able to hide it from him..."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Jingde, this is up to you! For one thing, you were an old general of Lu Bu, so in the eyes of others, you are naturally not my confidant. If it was Yuan Rang or Wen Yuan, Yue Fei would not believe it. If you go, Yue Fei will be able to believe it; second, the former you sent troops to rescue Cao Hong and lost Chen Liucheng, we can make use of it, I have lost the crime of losing the city and land, I will punish you severely, you betrayed Yue Fei with resentment in your heart Coupled with the military deployment map, it is difficult for Yue Fei to believe it or not! But, if this is the case, you will suffer some flesh and blood..."

Yuchi Gong said with emotion: "As long as the lord can trust Yu Chi Gong, Yu Chi Gong will have nothing to say!"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao shouted, "Come here, Yuchi Gong lost the city and lost the land, but the important town of Chen Liucheng was lost, and he was pulled out to punish the eighty army sticks! Jingde, after the matter is completed, I will go to the court and give you the title of wife and son, and I will make you a pavilion. General!"

Outside the commander's tent, two Chinese troops broke in and pulled Yu Chigong out.

"General Yuchi, offended!"

Several generals of the Chinese army, Wei Chigong, pressed down on the ground, rounded the army sticks in their hands, and hit them head and face. They wanted to convince Yue Fei that the pain of flesh and blood could not be faked. But miserable.

Eighty army sticks, even Yu Chigong's steel and iron bones were beaten to pieces, and the corners of his mouth were bitten.

Cao Cao looked at Yu Chigong's injury, and shouted in a deep voice: "Jingde, whether you can take the Yellow River Ferry and counterattack Ruyin is up to you, and I will worship you!!"
