At this time, Cao Cao saw his friend Yuan Shao walking towards him with Xu You!
It turned out that Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao was coming, so he came to see him, wanting to talk to him in advance and ask him to support him in forming a coalition to deal with Lei Gong!
Cao Cao hurriedly walked over, then pulled Yuan Shao, found a remote alley and asked: "You want to kill us originally, don't you know how strong Lei Gong is! You dare to attack Hebei, nothing else.
Tell me, how do you plan to deal with Lei Gong's hundreds of thousands of cavalry? You don't want to fight with hundreds of thousands of cavalry on the Jizhou Great Plains!
You have forgotten how Huangfu Song died. The hundreds of thousands of elites of the Han Dynasty fought until the end and could not escape even if they tried. They were almost all annihilated by Lei Gong in Youzhou. Even you yourself almost died in Youzhou. You have forgotten all this.
!”
Yuan Shao said calmly: "Of course I can't forget these. I have been thinking about how to deal with Thunder Lord these years in the Central Plains!"
Xu You stroked his beard and laughed and said: "Meng De, we have thought about what you said. It is naturally not advisable to rush to Jizhou and fight the Thunder Lord. So our real idea is to lure the Thunder Lord to attack Yanzhou. We have built a military in Yanzhou in the past three years.
There are thousands of forts, all of which can withstand artillery.
Even if Lei Gong has powerful siege weapons like artillery, it will cost a lot to build a fort. If he wants to conquer the entire Yanzhou, he may not be able to defeat these forts for a year and a half.
If all parties support Yanzhou, it will be more difficult for Lei Gong to capture the Central Plains, and even with the help of Wubao, we may not be able to severely damage Lei Gong in Yanzhou!"
Guo Jiata glanced at Xu You with a look of ridicule on his face.
“Lei Gong is really coming to the Central Plains with his army, are you really sure of defeating him?
How do you defeat Lei Gong's Modao camp?
What method should be used to deal with Lei Gong's heavy armored cavalry?
Not to mention the invincible artillery battalion?
I wonder what the generals of chariots and cavalry can do to resist these elite troops of Thunder Lords?
Do we just rely on these immovable forts to resist these elites? Have you ever thought about what to do if the Thunder Lord encircles the area to provide reinforcements?"
Seeing Guo Jia's mocking eyes, Xu You said angrily: "That would be better than Lei Gong making all preparations and rushing directly to the Central Plains! I don't know what preparations General Zhendong has made in these years. Could it be that he planned to repair the turtle in Qingzhou?
Shell, do you think you can defeat Thunder God in this way?"
"It can be seen from this year's Battle of Xiliang that the strength of the Daqian Army has not declined, but has been continuously increasing. The gap between us and Lei Gong has not narrowed, but has become farther and farther.
Now there is no way to interrupt the development of Lei Gong, I am afraid that we will be the ones who die in a few years. Don’t forget what the boy from the Wang Guojun said in Xiliang. What Lei Gong wants to do is no longer to change the dynasty, he wants to kill all of us.
Kill them all, isn't Brother Meng De worried about you? In the future, all of your Cao family will become merchants and be looked down upon by others all their lives. Now, the noble gentry are still stranded in Hebei, and there are not even any petty officials. They have either become slaves or become slaves.
If you become a merchant, you are no longer a noble family. If the world is really conquered by Thunder Lord, our family will be reduced to ordinary people in a few decades! Mengde, can you accept this reality?"
Hearing this, Cao Cao and Guo Jia's expressions became solemn. After Wang Guojun's words reached the Central Plains, it was already a declaration of war from Lord Lei, declaring war on the entire Han clan.
Lei Gong has determined that the decline of the world is not due to the Liu family's immorality, but to the failure of all the noble families of the Han Dynasty. Lei Gong wants to wipe out all the immoral noble families!
Cao Cao and Guo Jia are also members of the noble clan. Now they are told by Lei Gong that they should bear the responsibility for the chaos in the world. Of course they are unhappy. If Cao Cao really has this ability, Cao Cao really wants to destroy Lei Gong first!
At this time, Yuan Shao said: "The growth of Lei Gong's strength has exceeded our expectations. Now should be the time when our strength is closest to Lei Gong. If we can't defeat him this time together, then it will be more difficult to stop Lei Gong in the future. Could it be that Meng
De, do you want to wait until Duke Lei is ready before facing him with hundreds of thousands of cavalry?"
"Brother Wei doesn't want Lei Gong to be fully prepared, so he plans to take the initiative to launch an attack. This battle will not only eliminate Lei Gong, but even severely injure Lei Gong and give us a few years of delay. The battlefield for this battle is
Being in the Central Plains is beneficial and harmless to you, Mengde! Mengde, you can think about it carefully!"
After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao and perhaps two of his men left slowly.
Cao Cao pondered for a long time and asked Guo Jiadao: "Do we want to form an alliance with Primordial?"
Guo Jia thought for a while and smiled bitterly and said: "General Chariot and Cavalry is right about one thing. The longer the time goes by, the greater the gap in strength between us and Lei Gong. In the past three years, the reason was drought. We can only try to maintain the situation in Qingzhou.
The grain and grass accumulated by Lei Gong exceeded 100 million shi, which was enough for a million-dollar campaign in one year. It must be said that Lei Gong's policy of collecting taxes from households was extremely powerful. All the excess grain in Hebei was in the hands of Lei Gong. With this grain in his hand
, Lei Gong can get twice the result with half the effort, whether it is in battle or disaster relief, this is far beyond our comparison!
Cao Cao's territory was still divided into fragments. Cao Cao could only control the level of Kong Rong at most, but could not directly face the people. This was the gap between him and Xu Wei. Although under the pressure of Lei Gong, Qingzhou's powerful families had to rely on
Cao Cao, but they will never allow all the resources in Qingzhou to go to Cao Cao.
Guo Jia continued: "The current Lei Gong is three points stronger than the violent Qin, but we are not even as good as the six heroes of the Warring States Period. Our strength is not as good as the Qi State back then. Although Liu Bei's territory is larger than the Chu State,
, but Liu Bei can't even bring out an army of 400,000, which is not as good as the Chu State back then, and Yuan Shao is only one or two points stronger than Zhao Wei. If we unite to resist Lei Gong, we may have a chance of stopping Lei Gong at the Yellow River.
Except, if you take the initiative to attack, you will definitely die!"
Cao Cao hesitated and said: "According to Feng Xiao, our three parties should be stronger than Lei Gong together. Why is the chance of winning so low?"
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said: "Because Lei Gong is the most famous general in the world, my lord, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao are all far inferior to Lei Gong, especially Lei Gong has commanded several battles involving hundreds of thousands of people, but my lord, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao do not have this at all.
experience!"
"Now Daqian has the most elite soldiers, the most powerful generals, and the most food and grass. It can be said that Lei Gong has no shortcomings at all. This is the most terrifying place in Hebei, so the two-point chance of victory mentioned by my subordinates is still
In terms of defense!”
Cao Cao understood Guo Jia's meaning without words! After Guo Jia's analysis, Lei Gong was really a desperate opponent. If he really waited for Lei Gong to attack the Central Plains, it would be difficult for him and Yuan Shao to resist, but Yuan Shao's plan would be more effective.
How feasible!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao strengthened his belief that he could no longer let Lei Gong take the initiative, but wanted to disrupt Lei Gong's actions!
Then, under the leadership of Wang Yun, Cao Cao went to see Emperor Xian and reported the situation in these young states to the emperor and the civil and military officials.
All the civil and military officials in the imperial court were a little surprised. Qingzhou, where Cao Cao was located, not only fed an army of 200,000 people, but even if it suffered from drought, there were still millions of shi of food in the treasury. Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was an unparalleled warrior!
