Great Wei Nengchen

"The prime minister is a man of great talent, why do you need others to point out a mere game of chess?"

"The old man is useless, and I'm really indecisive. Should I take a defensive position across the board and consolidate the rear, or should I try to be a hero and fight again?"

"The foundation is not stable, how can it last long, the prime minister should sit in the rear, as for the endgame in the south, how about leaving it to the last general?"

..............................

Cao Cao held a sunspot in his hand and didn't drop it for a long time. He obviously wanted to discuss the way of chess, but actually asked about the countermeasures. Should he return to the Central Plains, cultivate his health, or regroup and fight again?

Xiao Yi replied simply, thinking that Cao Ying's vitality was seriously injured and he couldn't continue fighting, and returning to the Central Plains would be the best strategy. As for the battle situation in the south, he hoped to leave it to himself to command!

The two looked at each other, entangled with each other endlessly, there were lightning and thunder intertwined, and there were choppy waves... At last they nodded to each other, and everything returned to calm!

Cao Cao separated his fingers, the chess piece slipped down in an instant, Xiao Yi stretched out his palm, and firmly caught the chess piece... The command of the Jingzhou battlefield finally fell into his hands!

Chapter 1326 Regroup and fight again in Jingzhou ([-])

"The old man will go back to Xuchang City first - pack up the troops and regroup, and when the vitality recovers, he will conquer Jiangdong again. As for the nine counties of Jingzhou, I will entrust it all to my virtuous son-in-law!"

"Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law will do his best to deal with Sun and Liu Erni, and prevent the enemy from going further north. The Central Plains will be safe and sound!"

"It's so good, the old man will rely on the might of his virtuous son-in-law!"

"Father-in-law is blessed in the sky, and my son-in-law should be sheltered!"

........................

After a battle of wits and courage, the prime minister became a father-in-law, and the last general became a son-in-law. The subtle change in address means that Cao and Xiao will join hands to overcome this difficulty together!

After chatting a few more homely things, Xiao Yi got up and took his leave, but the moment he went out, he turned his head and stared at Cao Cao's ruddy complexion and the censer filled with green smoke, and couldn't help thinking in his heart!

It is said that hearing is delusion and seeing is believing. In fact, what the eyes see is often an illusion, and the wise have eyes to see the truth clearly through the fog!

Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition failed, his lifelong dream was shattered, and he fled back in embarrassment. Was his mind unaffected and his body unscathed?

If the traitor's ambitions are all right, why doesn't he stop the group of ministers fighting for power, almost at swordsmanship?

If the traitor's body is intact, why doesn't he come out to calm people's hearts when the rebels don't listen to orders and are panicked?

All kinds of signs show that Cao Cao's ambition is frustrated, he has no face to face civil and military officials, and his body suffers from serious losses. He is unable to control tens of thousands of horses. As for today's talk, it is just a play!

Cao Cao must have taken the medicine of tiger and wolf to forcibly stimulate the potential in his body. Only then did he look ruddy, full of energy, and have the strength to play Go, with a strategizing appearance!

This is implying to Xiao Yi that although the old man was frustrated for a while, his ambition is still there and his health is fine, he can still lead the army of tigers and wolves, compete with the heroes of the world in the Central Plains, and at the same time deter Xiao Yi. Don't act rashly!

Relying on the medicine of tigers and wolves to refresh oneself is bound to be difficult to last for a long time, and it will cause great harm to the body, which will shorten the life of the person who takes the medicine. Guo Jia's fall in Liaodong is a lesson for the past!

Moreover, after taking the medicine, her face turned red like blood, and her body emitted a strange fragrance. The reason why the incense burner was lit in the room was to use very strong spices, just to cover up the smell of the medicine!

It's a pity that Xiao Yi's eyesight is like a torch, and he is proficient in Qi Huang's art. After observing for a while, he can see through the details of the traitor. The reason why he didn't expose it, but also showed respect, is because he dared not, and because he couldn't bear it!

Wounded beasts are the most dangerous. Cao Cao's current state is like a wounded tiger. If he continues to be stimulated, he will fight for his life and die. Xiao Yi is also deeply afraid!

The traitor has been mighty all his life, ruled the world, known as the 'uncrowned king', but now he has to rely on medicine to maintain the last bit of dignity, Xiao Yi, as a son-in-law, naturally feels pity!

Considering the above two points, Xiao Yicai pretended to be ignorant, left room for the traitor, and even shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding Jingzhou.

However, if the villain takes medicine, his lifespan will be greatly reduced. As time goes by, Xiao Yi will become more and more beneficial!

"Regrouping and going south for the second time, I'm afraid I'm powerless. Youyou heaven, why don't you bless me--poof!"

"Master Prime Minister!--Master Prime Minister!"

As soon as Xiao Yi left, Cao Cao couldn't hold on anymore, his face became extremely pale, his clothes were soaked in sweat, he slipped and fell to the ground, and even spit out two mouthfuls of blood!

At the same time, from behind the screen in the chess room, more than a dozen warriors wearing heavy armor and holding sharp knives rushed out. The leader was the tiger idiot Xu Chu, who quickly carried Cao Cao to the back and went to the military doctor for treatment!

It turned out that today's meeting was a 'Hongmen Banquet', Cao Cao had already ambushed the soldiers, if Xiao Yi was obedient and obedient as before, everything would be fine!

If Xiao Yi was rebellious and showed a little bit of rebellion, Cao Cao would abandon his son as a title, and the warriors would rush forward, even if they were all wiped out, they would die together with Xiao Yi!

Because of the failure of the Eastern Expedition, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, Cao Cao's prestige has also dropped a lot, and it is difficult to deter the hearts of the people in the world, but Xiao Yi performed extremely well and won a lot of hearts.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Yi is now mutinying to seize power, and the success rate is more than [-]%. In desperation, Cao Cao took the medicine of tiger and wolf to forcibly cheer up his spirits to show that he was in good health, and secretly ambushed the warriors in case of emergency. Things!

Fortunately, Xiao Yi was not rude at all, and took the initiative to take over the battle situation in Jingzhou, which made Cao Cao quite satisfied, and Gao Xuan's heart was relieved a lot!

Xu Chu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. They knew very well that Da Sima was so powerful - his martial arts skills and natural supernatural power.

........................................................................

After three days of preparation, the main force of the Cao army began to retreat northward, first retreating to Xiangyang City, then Wancheng City, and finally Xuchang City-to cultivate and restore vitality!

Xiao Yi led the Suppression Camp, Danyang Soldiers, Digger Army, Xuezi Army... a few troops of direct descendants continued to sit in Jiangling City to resist the attack of Sun and Liu's coalition army, lest they take advantage of the situation and go north to pursue it!

He also took Xu Huang as the prefect of Nanyang County and led an army to garrison Wancheng; Yu Jin was the prefect of Nanjun and led an army to garrison Yicheng.

Besides, after the main force of the Cao army retreated to Xiangyang, Cao Cao sent people to return to Jiangling quickly, and gave Xiao Yi something--Jingzhou Mu Great Seal!

When the army went south, Cao Cao himself promised: "The man with the highest military merit will be the Lord of Jingzhou." As a result, Xiao Yi defeated Liu Bei's army, conquered Xiangyang, and captured Jiangling.

Sending the Great Seal over now is not only a disguised apology, but also an attempt to motivate Xiao Yi to fight to the death with Sun and Liu Lianjun for the position of Jingzhou Mu and for the benefit of the Xiao family!

It can be seen from this that although the villain is not famous, his strategy, scheming, and employing methods are still top-notch!

But Xiao Yi knew in his heart that Jingzhou animal husbandry was not easy to do. On the surface, his military strength was not weak. There were more than [-] troops in each department, but after careful calculation, the strength was pitifully weak!

The digger army is an engineering force, and it doesn't have much combat power; the student army is here for training, and it is reluctant to fight. Although the Jingzhou navy has 7 to [-] people, all the warships have been burned, and there is not much combat power in the land battle. !

The most elite Xuanjia iron cavalry were also scattered in three places, one in Lujiang County and one in Nanyang County. Only three to 4000 people returned to Jiangling City smoothly!

Therefore, Xiao Yi can only rely on the two elites of the Siege camp and Danyang soldiers, with a strength of less than 10,000 soldiers, while the Sun and Liu coalition forces have [-]+, and there are even more powerful characters such as Kong Ming, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su... Commander, how do you fight this battle?

Some people must ask, although Cao Jun's Eastern Expedition was frustrated, but the main force retreated safely, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, why not keep some more troops, as long as there are 15 elite soldiers, plus Xiao Yi's literary and military strategies, Enough to resist Sun and Liu Lianjun!

The answer is that it is difficult to sustain. Cao Jun’s Eastern Expedition was defeated. In addition to the loss of soldiers and generals, countless food, grass, ordnance, and money were consumed. The treasury in the rear was all emptied.

To keep one more soldier, we need to transport more food and grass and spend more money. The Caoying Group’s current family property can’t really support it. Jingzhou will also become a battlefield. If we want to raise food and soldiers on the spot, I’m afraid. It is as difficult as reaching the sky!

Small battles rely on courage, medium battles rely on strategy, and large battles fight for food and grass. Cao Jun's logistics supply is difficult, and the number of troops left is very limited. If too many people are left, they will lose without fighting!

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to lament, the only thing to do is to make up for the shortage of troops by using clever tricks. While rectifying the troops and getting ready for a decisive battle with the enemy, Xiao Yi listens to the news and pays attention to the changes in the battle situation...

Soon there was news, both good and bad: The good news is that Huang Zhong and his son successfully broke through the siege, and they are now stationed in Nanyang County, and they will come closer soon!

Dian Wei and Hao Zhao also arrived in Lujiang County, joined Zhang Liao's troops, and then slowly retreated to Shouchun City. The team is being repaired, and it will take some time to detour back to Jingzhou!

The two groups of people are safe and sound, Xiao Yi is also quite relieved, but the bad news that follows makes people sleepless. After the Sun and Liu coalition forces have been repaired, they began to march westward in a large scale!
