The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Because Cao Cao has no sea ships at all, not even a coastline.

As for Yuan Shao... he can probably gather dozens of fishing boats.

"The Marquis of Dongyang is good at using the power of the sea, there is no doubt about it." Sima Yi said.

Liu Ke began to show his sea surprise attack ability since he attacked Jiaozhou.

The most famous of these is the surprise attack on Jiaozhi, the extermination of the Japanese, and the surprise attack on Liaodong. The surprise attack on Liaodong happened only recently, so Cao Cao still remembers it fresh.

"You're right." Cao Cao affirmed.

But what Sima Yi said next made people puzzled.

"As for whether Marquis Dongyang has left Xuzhou, there is not enough information to judge."

have to.

Another smooth boy.

Anyway, I just don't want to take responsibility and let Cao Cao judge for himself.

Cao Cao didn't mean to blame him for this, after all, this is the responsibility he needs to bear as a commander.

Is it possible to visit Xuzhou again?

The last time I went to 1 horses, I lost [-].

How many people is appropriate to send this time?

If only a few dozen or a few hundred people are sent, that would be a long-distance battalion!

Crazy lap estimated life is gone.

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and told him to follow his train of thought.

"The Marquis of Dongyang likes quick battles. If his goal is Jizhou, he will definitely give him a thunderous blow. Whether it is us or Yuan Shao, if we fight Dongyanghou alone, we will die," Xi Zhicai said.

"That statement makes sense," Cao Cao said.

"The Marquis of Dongyang has two goals, one is Yanzhou and the other is Jizhou. Under our management, Yanzhou is impenetrable, so the possibility of Dongyanghou choosing Jizhou as a breakthrough point is very high." Xi Zhicai said.

"What's more, Zhongda said that the Marquis of Dongyang has the ability to attack Jizhou by surprise. Marquis Dongyang has always liked to use dangerous tactics." Xi Zhicai said.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Then, should we support Jizhou?"

Xi Zhicai resolutely opposed it, saying:

"No!"

"Why?"

"As a commander, Marquis Dongyang has almost no shortcomings. How could he have only one choice? He is also waiting, no matter whether it is Jizhou or Yanzhou, as long as we show our flaws, we will be bitten madly. Once there is a gap, we can still defend Marquis of Dongyang?" Xi Zhicai said.

Deployment on both sides?

If this is the case, Dongyang Hou is too scary!

The troops are already at a disadvantage, and you still want to suppress them at both ends?

Cao Cao was very frightened.

Because Dongyang Hou does not fight uncertain battles.

"How should we respond?" Cao Cao asked.

"We can use the distance between Jizhou and Yanzhou to play a game with the Marquis of Dongyang," Xi Zhicai said.

You know, Jizhou and Yanzhou are neighbors.

This advantage is very big!

"How to do it?" Cao Cao asked impatiently.

"It's very simple. We have drawn 20 troops, and Yuan Benchu ​​has drawn 15 troops to station on the border between the two states. No matter which side is attacked, they can quickly support them." Xi Zhicai said.

War does not happen overnight, as long as you stick to it for a period of time, reinforcements can arrive.

Therefore, Xi Zhicai's suggestion is very feasible.

It was betting on both ends, which made Cao Cao a little uneasy.

"We are sticking to the defense and have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength." Xi Zhicai said.

If Yanzhou has 20 troops deployed, then there are still 30 troops left in Yanzhou. Even if Dongyang Hou gathers an army of 60, it is impossible to defeat the 30 army in a short time.

"My lord, I think this plan is feasible." Sima Lang said, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Yang Xiu.

Of course Yang Xiu did not stand up to object.

"Okay, let's make this decision first, just to meet Yuan Shao." Cao Cao said.

Afterwards, Cao Cao repaired a letter and sent it to Yuan Shao urgently within [-] miles.

Yuan Shao was in his old home, trembling with fear, for fear that Liu Ke would suddenly appear in Jizhou.

How can he resist alone?

Cao Cao's suggestion was very much in line with his appetite.
