Chapter 0303 As a spectator, I want it all(1/2)
Jiangling City, inside the government office.
"General, the Protector General suggested that the general send soldiers to attack the Jiangdong camp, so that both sides can blossom!"
Niu Jin said again, bringing Cao Xiu's words to mind.
"Hey, that's not appropriate."
Cao Ren shook his head, walked a few steps, looked at the map on the wall and said, "Liu Bei's movements are unknown, and he will be waiting for a few days."
"General, we must take advantage of Zhou Yu's failure to return his troops or Liu Bei's failure to respond, and attack Jiangdong."
"The Prime Minister said, you can underestimate Sun Quan, you can underestimate Zhou Yu, but you can't underestimate Liu Bei.
In addition, under his command are Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, two well-established advisers who are eyeing our Jiangling City."
Cao Ren had a deep impression on Xu Shu and knew that he was a wise man. He returned to Liu Bei today. His mother is dead and he will definitely assist Liu Bei with all his strength.
"General, Zhou Yu is only willing to let more than a thousand of Guan Ping's cavalry participate in the siege of Jiangling City, and it is also used as a provocation, which is enough to see the discord between the Sun and Liu families.
Liu Bei has already occupied the four counties of Jingnan, Zhou Yu will not let Liu Bei set foot in Nanjun at all, the opportunity cannot be missed."
Niu Jin persuaded her earnestly and wanted to go out of the city to have a good time.
"The Sun and Liu families are at odds?" Cao Ren snorted and shook his head: "The two families will eventually be at odds, but not now.
Doesn’t General Niu know how important Jiangling City is to us and them?
Even if they didn't capture the entire Jingzhou, they still had to capture Jiangling City, so that the two families would have the confidence to be at odds with each other.
Now, I guess the two of them just want us to see discord. If we calm down, we can win."
"Here!"
Niu Jin didn't argue. Since he didn't have the chance to attack Jiangdong's camp at night, he would listen to General Zhengnan and not attack him.
Cao Ren waved his hand and told Niu Jin to go down to rest and recover from his injuries. He would find an opportunity to go to camp again in the future. There was no rush.
Today's situation is excellent, Yiling City and Jiangling City are at odds with each other.
As long as Zhou Yu divides his troops to attack, no matter which one they are, they will not be able to capture him. Waiting for his defeat and then calling Liu Bei to join the attack will be of no use.
This wave is steady!
Nowadays, Cao Ren feels that there is no need to take risks by remaining unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations.
It is possible that Liu Bei had already moved his troops to the Jiangdong camp and deliberately exposed his flaws.
After occupying Yiling City, Cao Ren was already in an invincible position. It was the Sun and Liu families who should rush to break the situation, not him.
At this moment, there was a cry of killing in Yiling City.
Jiangdong's soldiers had already sneaked into the city from the tunnel, killing Cao's army by surprise, then opened the city gate and let the army enter the city. Now the Cao and Sun families are fighting in the small Yiling City.
The news that Jiangdong had invaded the city really shocked Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and the others.
The good news has also been sent out, and I believe General Zhengnan has received it.
But there was a ghost in broad daylight! Jiangdong soldiers came out of the ground and killed them by surprise.
Now the two sides are still in a melee.
Guan Ping, who was outside Yiling City, lurked in the grass on the mountain path with his men, waiting for the war to end to get a sip of soup.
Who allowed himself to be just a second-generation general from a poor society, who could only survive by beating the autumn breeze?
While others eat meat, you can have a sip of broth, and that will be a great life.
"Major General."
On the path in the forest, Zhou Li shouted first, then ran over quietly and whispered:
"Reporting to the Major General, I found a lot of firewood lying on the path in Jiangdong ten miles away. It is not dense, and I am afraid it will delay Cao's army's defeat."
Guan Ping looked at the mountains and forests in the distance and thought carefully: "Zhou Datudu saw that I tricked the horse from Cao Xiu. They also want the remaining horses of Cao Xiu's army, but is there anyone?"
Jiang Dong arranged things at such a far distance to prevent Cao Jun from seeing the road blocked at the beginning. They chose the main road instead of walking.
Although the path is narrow, it is closer to Jiangling City, making it easier to escape, and the news can be sent back to Jiangling City in time.
In Guan Ping's view, the defeat of Cao's army was a sure thing. He was first killed by Jiangdong's soldiers into the city, and then he had already lost the initiative and fell into passivity.
Even if the overall combat effectiveness of Jiangdong's soldiers off the ship was worse than that of Cao's army, Cao's army would still be driven out of Yiling City by Zhou Yu.
Unless Cao Hong really wanted to defend Yiling City, defeat would be a matter of time. Cao Hong could not even organize too many people to fight back, so he could only be divided.
"There is a team of no more than three hundred people guarding the place."
Zhou Li replied, which almost meant the young general.
He knew that the people in the Jiangdong camp were very covetous of these war horses and wished they were all like them.
When he was camped in Jiangdong, Zhou Li treated his subordinate Pao Ze and told him for a while that he must keep an eye on his own war horses to avoid being replaced secretly by the soldiers from Jiangdong.
"Major General, do we want to stop some of us here?"
Zhou Li made a suggestion in a low voice. War horses are something you don't want to have too much of, not to mention that your own family is in short supply.
This is also to better eliminate Cao's army. It is much better to go to your own bowl than to go to someone else's bowl.
"Jiehu?"
Guan Ping sat on the grass, took off his iron jacket, and thought about it. He had accumulated a lot of conflicts with Jiangdong Da Dudu.
Besides, if you have too much debt, you don’t have to worry about it. Brother Paoze in the army has said so, so I’ll find a way to kill him.
Guan Ping originally wanted to come here to drink soup, and took the opportunity to capture some of the defeated soldiers. After all, Jiangdong was the one who contributed most of the effort, so he didn't expect to be able to eat a few mouthfuls of meat, which would be a profit.
"It's not that it can't be done. Anyway, those war horses don't have Zhou Yu's stamp on their butts. Whoever grabs it first will get it.
Ziyu, since we have done it, let’s just stop doing it and let children make choices. There is no way to cut it in half, we want them all!”
I want them all!
Good guy.
Zhou Li blinked his eyes. As expected of a major general, he had a huge appetite. He wanted to devour Cao Jun's more than a thousand cavalry completely. It seemed that he was still a little green in front of the major general!
If you are so domineering (shameless), why can't you say it out loud? It seems that there is still a lot to learn from the Major General.
Xing Daorong was even more excited when he heard what the young general said was truly domineering and unparalleled.
Yes, only children make choices, and I feel most comfortable if I want them all.
As expected, the Major General's words always require people to think carefully. Cai Zhong is right.
Xing Daorong smiled again, but it was a pity that Cai Zhong was not trusted by the Major General!
But I, Lao Xing, am different. What's more, on the battlefield, everyone relies on their ability to win military exploits and various ordnance, food, grass, horses, etc.
Now the great opportunity to capture the war horse is right in front of you. How can you give it to Jiangdong? The advantage is that it should be in your own hands.
Xing Daorong secretly wrote down this sentence to prepare for emergencies, so as not to have nothing to say on the battlefield in the future.
You know, Lao Xing is also a person who likes to brag about his reputation.
This problem cannot be corrected in a short time.
"Major General, let's also follow Jiangdong's example and block the road with firewood so that no one from Cao's army can escape!"
Xing Daorong was full of energy, fighting with the Major General, and was filled with joy. This time he also chose a good horse from the North for himself.
Guan Ping nodded first, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen a pack of wolves hunting?"
"Never seen it before."
Xing Daorong shook his head, wolves are very common in the mountains of Wuling County.
He even saw wolves from a distance while standing on a boat when he was with the Wuxi barbarians. Unfortunately, wolves do not easily come into contact with people.
As for Zhou Li, I have never been exposed to it.
In terms of receiving information, Guan Ping was many steps ahead of the entire big man.
They have never accepted the effect of the brainwashing program that spring is coming and everything will revive.
"When wolves hunt, most of them will choose the injured, old and weak among the group as targets of attack, and slowly attack them by the tail.
Therefore, we must implement the strategy that Zhuge Military Advisor made during the Battle of Chibi."
"The strategy set by Zhuge's military advisor?"
Zhou Li secretly thought about whether he would set fire to the mountain, but the war horses were even more afraid of fire. If they ran around, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?
"I hope the Major General will show me."
Xing Daorong had never experienced the Battle of Chibi, so he didn't know what strategy Zhuge had planned.
I just heard from the Major General that Zhuge's military advisor borrowed the east wind for three days and nights to help Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, and burned Cao's army to ashes.
This laid the foundation for the great victory of the Sun and Liu families. Those who can borrow things from heaven must be extraordinary.
Xing Daorong also saw that his lord also valued Military Advisor Zhuge very much, otherwise he would not trust him with all the affairs of the army.
Guan Ping didn't hide anything, he smiled and said: "It's very simple. Let's prepare a script for Cao Hong to play Prime Minister Cao so that he can enjoy it."
