The Three Kingdoms

Yecheng, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, if you take Yecheng, the Jin Kingdom will surely perish.

"Your Majesty, according to the news from Yecheng, Yuan Shao actually broke his own arm at this time, and dispatched Ju Yi, the only threat to us in the entire Jin Kingdom, to Handan to recruit young and strong men and train new soldiers!"

Jia Xu, the commander of the ghost soldiers, said respectfully to Cao Cao.

He suffered a lot of injuries in Jinling City, but before he had time to recuperate, Wei State launched a full-scale war against Jin State, so he hurried north to assist Cao Cao.

This battle was a battle Wei Guo had to fight, and he knew it in his heart.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said loudly, "Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, I didn't expect you to cooperate with Gu so much. It's really rare!"

Today's weather caused a certain drought in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and the grain harvest was not very good. He fought this battle bravely. Naturally, he wanted to end it as soon as possible, the better.

"Hehe, the Jin army has always been headed by Arita Toyo and Ju Yi!"

Xi Zhicai showed a relaxed smile: "Tian Feng is here with us, and Ju Yi is being abandoned, Jin is exhausted!"

"Immediately pass orders to Gu, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, Xiahou Yuan, three days later, encircle Yecheng, Gu will personally lead the main force, approach the city, and launch an attack on Yecheng..." Cao Cao was also a little excited, pointing to the sand table Go up, several garrison camps around Yecheng with the battle flags of the State of Wei, said.

"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient!" Xi Zhicai shook his head when he heard the words, and quickly interrupted Cao Cao's words, and said in a low voice: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Yecheng is not so easy to fight. We still need In the long run, this matter must not be rushed!"

"My lord, although we have the chance to win, we still need to take steps to control our own casualties, try our best to achieve the least casualties in exchange for the greatest victory. After all, our previous casualties in Guandu were not small!" Guo Jia Also reminded.

"Gu is really impatient!"

Cao Cao was stunned, and after hearing what Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia said, he quickly realized that he had been heading north, and his heart was a little tense. When he saw Yecheng in front of him, he was still a little impatient.

With his hands behind his back, he looked a little helpless, sighed, and explained: "The situation in the country is not so good now, with frequent droughts, and many good fields have no harvest. The food can't last long, so I feel a little irritable. I want to resolve this battle as soon as possible!" To be continued...

[Text Chapter 617 Taishi Ci's Disposal]

"Your Majesty, there is really no need to rush this matter!" Xi Zhicai is not ignorant of the impatience you have in Cao Cao's heart now, but there is no rush on the battlefield, and the information of the battle situation is ever-changing, so he has to be cautious.

He glanced at Cao Cao, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao is also the overlord after all, and he has Jizhou and Bingzhou as his support. According to our scout report, the high-ranking Bingzhou wolf cavalry rushed to Yecheng overnight. They have almost entered Jizhou, and will arrive in Yecheng in a few days, these Bingzhou wolves still have some fighting strength, and their strength is not weak, we must guard against them!"

"If we want to take Yecheng without any hesitation, we must deal with the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou!"

Guo Jia also said: "Otherwise, when we attack the city, we will definitely be attacked by these cavalry!"

Although the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry trained by high-level cadres is vastly different from that of the former Bingzhou wolf cavalry that used to roam the grasslands in Lu Bu, it should not be underestimated.

After all, as long as a new force of tens of thousands of cavalry joins the battlefield, it is enough to change the situation on the battlefield.

Now the Wei army did not have many troops crossing the river. During the battle of Guandu, although the Wei army suffered fewer casualties than the Jin army, they were also severely injured. This battle was fought on the scalp.

"But I can't wait alone!" Cao Cao's face was grim upon hearing this.

His eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly: "The situation in the country won't last long. Wen Ruo has already calculated carefully, and the grain can be supported for about two months at most. Three months, if we can't resolve the battle within three months, for the sake of Wei, we will have to retreat in an anticlimactic manner!"

It wasn't that he was in a hurry, but that Wei Guo couldn't handle this battle anymore.

"Three months?"

"This is too urgent!"

In the big tent, everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and all of them felt a little depressed.

"A certain family thought we had at least half a year to relax, but they didn't expect it to be only three months. If we want three months, we will take Jin!"

Xi Zhi just heard the words.His eyes became a little dark: "Difficult!"

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Jin Kingdom was also a former hegemony. Even though Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu, he is still beaten in Yecheng and dare not show his face.However, if Wei Guo wanted to truly take down Yecheng and Jin, it was not so easy.

"I don't even think about it. The sudden drought has already affected the livelihood of the people in the Wei state. If we can't solve the Jin state in three months, I can only choose to retreat, stabilize Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and fight again next year!"

Cao Cao said helplessly: "Now this battle is already a risky one. I calculated it well before, but I didn't expect the sudden drought. Wen Ruo sent a letter saying that there is a big problem with our harvest this year, but now I can only fight hard. Fight on the scalp. Gu will not give up until the last step, but in Gu's heart, Yuzhou and Yanzhou are the foundation of Wei State!"

"drought?"

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other, and each of them uttered the whole word helplessly.

They also didn't expect that the situation in the country is now so festering, and they could have supported it, but misfortunes never come singly, and the drought put Wei Guo into dire straits.

"Damn God!" Someone cursed secretly.

"Your Majesty!" Xi Zhicai had a flash of inspiration and said, "Since that's the case, why don't we borrow troops!"

"Borrow troops?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Zhicai, where can we borrow it?"

"Liang Country!"

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes slightly.He said: "The iron cavalry of Xiliang are first-class elite cavalry. With them, we may be able to defeat the high-ranking cavalry in advance. At that time, it will be much easier to take down Yecheng!"

"But will Ma Teng lend us troops?"

Some objected.

"There is a price to be paid for everything!" Xi Zhicai said flatly, "Isn't it easy to want Ma Teng to be moved? As long as we promise to give him Bingzhou to Liangguo, I don't believe he won't act!"

"no!"

"How is this possible?"

"Now that Bingzhou is about to fall into our hands, we are not willing to give it away for nothing!"

"..."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately raised objections one by one.

Although Bingzhou is a bit desolate, it is also a land of one state. Wei Guo killed so many lives in Guandu to get to this point. If this is the case, they will naturally not want to send Bingzhou away for nothing.

"Your Majesty, you can only gain if you give up!" Jia Xu suddenly said: "I agree with the Taiwei Lord's blunt statement, and Bingzhou is exchanged for the entry of Xiliang cavalry. This is a profitable business!"

They have already completed more than half of Liangguo's plan. As long as it goes well, Bingzhou will come back sooner or later.

"Is it a steady profit?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitating a little in his heart, he was afraid that the power of the mighty Ma Teng would make his future plans not go well, but now he has nothing to do, so he can't advance or retreat.

"My lord, there are some things that are given to them, and they are also ours!"

Xi Zhicai pointedly said: "It will be of great benefit to us to have good relations between the two countries!"

"You are right!"
