Chapter 118: In times of turmoil, the day to send troops
"Brother Yi, we have solved the problem of support from other forces, but we have overlooked one point - the front line from Xuchang to Shouchun City!"
Cao Cao held his chin, as if he was thinking and asking questions.
"Brother Yi, there is a Chen State sandwiched between Xudu City and Shouchun City. If the front line and the supply line bypass the Chen State at all times, the front line will be very long, and there will be many unstable factors in the supply transportation line.
In addition, the hundreds of thousands of mercenaries of the Chen State cannot be underestimated, and the relationship between the leader of the Chen State Liu Chong, the Prime Minister Luo Jun and the traitor Yuan Shu is quite close!"
When it comes to Chen Guo, it's no wonder that Cao Cao looks serious.
In his opinion, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei may have some abilities, but when it comes to hard power, they are really nothing compared to Chen Guo.
The leader of the Chen Kingdom——Liu Chong!
Prime Minister of the State of Chen——Luo Jun!
These two names came out from Cao Cao's mouth, and Yi Xiaotian briefly searched for their names in his memory.
Speaking of which, it was this Chen Guo, who was unknown in the "deduction", who played a decisive role on the battlefield from Xuchang to Shouchun.
It can even be said that it influenced the battle situation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.
Think about it, if Cao Cao gets the Chen Kingdom, it will be equivalent to opening up the grain road, shortening the battle front, and shortening the supply line. He will not have to worry about the transportation of grain and grass, and he will also get a large granary for nothing.
The impact this has on the battle situation is decisive.
When the time comes, even if Yuan Shu is completely shameless and cowers in the city to fight with Cao Cao, Cao Cao will not be afraid because of Chen Guo.
On the other hand, if Yuan Shu captures the Chen Kingdom, he will be too close to Xudu, and it will be a huge threat to Cao Cao to defend his base camp.
Of course, as a historian who studies the history of the Three Kingdoms, Yi Xiaotian cannot just study the characters in the interpretation.
"The Book of the Later Han" and "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" are full of color and focus on Chen Guo, its every move, every word and deed, and its future trend, Yi Xiaotian is familiar with it...
Not to mention, in Cao Cao's eyes, Chen Guo, who had hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, was powerful and had a close relationship with Yuan Shu, was as if they were given away for free in Yi Xiaotian's eyes.
Investigating the reason, Yi Xiaotian knew that Liu Chong, the leader of the Chen Kingdom, and Luo Jun, the prime minister of the Chen Kingdom, were about to die...
It's just cool, and it's so cool!
…
"Brother Hiding? Are you worried that Chen Guo will join forces with Yuan Shu?"
After figuring out the twists and turns, Yi Xiaotian asked Cao Cao with great interest.
"That's right!" Cao Cao's tone was a little hesitant. He was not sure about Chen Guo, so he could only shake his head. "The so-called guarding against others is indispensable!"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was in a complicated mood, but Yi Xiaotian was laughing openly.
The laughter was not loud, but it was very comfortable, as if it was impossible for this powerful Chen Guo to make any waves...
"Brother Yi? You...what are you?"
This devilish laughter surprised Cao Cao. What does Brother Yi mean by this?
Perplexed, Cao Cao knocked on his forehead, and at the same time, Yi Xiaotian's words came out.
"Brother Hiding, do you know why Liu Chong, the leader of the Chen Kingdom, named himself?"
"General Fu Han!" Cao Cao replied without thinking. "It's just that this General Fu Han is not worthy of his name. Whether it is the Yellow Turban Uprising or Dong Zhuo's chaos, he seems to have done nothing!"
"This general who assisted the Han Dynasty has not accomplished much."
Yi Xiaotian nodded, then curled his lips and smiled slightly.
"But, after all, he proclaimed himself the general who assisted the Han Dynasty? The most important thing is the word 'Han'. Although he did not do much to help the Han Dynasty. However, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, this is clear
If Liu Chong, a vassal king and a descendant of the Han Dynasty, who was against the Han Dynasty, joined forces with him, wouldn't he be milking the cows in the cowshed and humiliating himself? Therefore, no matter how close their relationship was before, Yuan Shu said
Emperor, both sides are determined to break up completely as soon as possible!"
Yi Xiaotian didn't speak quickly, but he spoke every word with certainty.
Cao Cao thought it was reasonable, but it seemed that the fundamental problem was still not solved.
Although Chen Guo will not unite with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao cannot swallow Chen Guo. No, there is still no way to solve the problem of too long battle lines and supply lines!
When he thought of this, Cao Cao's brows furrowed even more. "Brother Yi, even if the two countries of Chen and Chen don't help each other, then...Cao Cao is marching a long distance, and the battle line and supply line are so long. Yuan Shu is waiting for work here, and he is familiar with the terrain. This
It’s not easy to fight a battle!”
"Well..."
When mentioning the battle line issue, Yi Xiaotian raised his finger slightly and pointed at Cao Cao. "Brother Hide, brother Hide, you still don't understand Yuan Shu very well!"
"Yuan Shu is a very extreme person. In his eyes, apart from temporary friends, he has only eternal enemies. As soon as he became emperor, Chen Guo broke with him and severed relations with him. According to Yuan Shu's temperament, he
We will definitely treat Chen Guo as an enemy and will fight to the death, and we will never give up."
"First of all, he will fight with Chen Guo, and then use some sinister means, such as sending an assassin to assassinate the leader of Chen Guo and the prime minister of Chen Guo..."
Yi Xiaotian speaks very fast.
Of course, fast does not mean unreliable. Yi Xiaotian, who knew the future direction of Chen State, knew very well that Liu Chong, the leader of Chen State, and Luo Jun, the prime minister of Chen State, were assassinated.
Or was he assassinated to death by a small assassin under the heavy protection of heavy armored soldiers? Sometimes history can be so funny and full of drama.
Of course, Cao Cao didn't know the future direction of Chen State. Hearing the words "assassin" and "assassination" suddenly made Cao Cao feel unbelievable...
According to legend, Liu Chong, the brave and powerful leader of the Chen Kingdom, would be killed by a mere assassin?
If this had come from anyone else, Cao Cao would not believe it, but it happened to come from Brother Yi.
this…
Although Cao Cao also had reservations, considering Brother Yi's miraculous predictions before, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was really possible that the guarantee would not be enough.
"Brother Yi? Are you saying that Liu Chong, the leader of Chen State, and Luo Junjun, the prime minister of the State, will be assassinated by assassins?" Cao Cao asked, raising his head.
"If you don't believe it, brother, we can make a bet!" Yi Xiaotian spread his hands, looking like he would not reject anyone who came, and he would not be bullied, and he would be harmless to humans and animals.
Well…
When Cao Cao heard about the bet, he felt that it was as stable as a dog!
The leader of Chen State and the Prime Minister of Chen State are probably really in trouble this time.
"Ahem..."
Cao Cao deliberately coughed and said with a wry smile: "There's no need to bet. Who in the world can beat Brother Yi in a bet?"
Cao Cao's past experience of losing in bets told him not to bet with Brother Yi. Not only would he lose money, the most important thing would be to lose face...
"Brother Hi, just relax!"
Seeing that Cao Cao still looked like he didn't believe it, Yi Xiaotian said with a smile.
"You just give Cao Cao a plan and ask him to prepare his troops. When the leader of the Chen State comes to an end, the country is assassinated, the Chen State has no leader, and the soldiers of the Chen State share the same hatred, Cao Cao only needs to lead the troops passing by without fighting. He only needs to wave his arms.
Threatening to denounce Yuan Shu, Chen Guo will definitely rely on him! In this way, not only Yuan Shu will be wiped out and Shouchun will be subdued, but also the last piece of land in Yuzhou, Chen Guo, will be included in it!"
As soon as the words came out, Yi Xiaotian's tone was extremely determined, which reassured Cao Cao. He immediately made a decision to pay close attention to the movements of the Chen State. When the Chen State was in turmoil, it was the day to send troops to conquer Yuan Shu!
