"Brother Yi, they're just women, who would chase them?"
Cao Cao smiled and said...
The status of women in this era was very low.
In Cao Cao's view, chasing wives and women? This itself is a complete joke, a huge joke.
"Brother Hide, I have to remind you. As for what happens next, I can't control that much." Yi Xiaotian waved his hand and replied with a smile. "If you don't hide everything from brother, the head wife of the family will survive.
There are concubines outside, hugging each other, enjoying the blessings of everyone..."
At this point, Yi Xiaotian lowered his voice and reminded him again.
"But, brother, I won't say much more about this. However, you must mention this when you present your time to Cao Cao. Not all women are weak women. Because of lust, women will become
Beauty brings disaster."
Huo... beauty brings disaster.
Cao Cao frowned, feeling that there was something in Brother Yi's words.
However, Cao Cao did not inquire in depth.
After all, it was because of the low-status women. Cao Cao couldn't bear to take them into consideration, so he simply showed his hands. "Brother Yi, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink, drink..."
In Cao Cao's view, how could a woman ruin his important affairs? Is Cao Cao so unbearable?
This time, Brother Yi may have underestimated Cao Cao!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao shook his head and simply changed the topic.
"Brother Yi, as you said, Liu Biao now uses Wancheng as a buffer zone between him and Cao Cao, so if Cao Cao attacks Wancheng, Liu Biao will definitely not sit idly by... If Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao unite, then
…”
Cao Cao directly raised his concerns.
According to Yi Xiaotian's analysis, most of Zhang Xiu's troops came from Xiliang.
The soldiers and horses of Guanxi have always been brave and good at fighting, not to mention that these soldiers and horses were trained by Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji.
Cao Cao was still deeply impressed by the defeat of Rongyang. The cavalry under Zhang Ji was difficult to deal with.
"That's not all."
Yi Xiaotian took a sip of wine and continued to remind.
"Zhang Xiu is known as the Spear King of the North. He studied under Tong Yuan, the 'Gun God' of the time, and his 'Hundred Birds Chao Phoenix Spear' makes him extremely powerful. Ordinary warriors may not be his enemies."
!”
Uh...this...
Suddenly, Cao Cao's brows furrowed even more tightly.
The cavalry is brave, the general Shenwu, and the foreign aid from Jingzhou...how...how to fight this battle?
No wonder Cao Cao was worried.
The terrain of Wancheng is a thousand-mile plain, which is most suitable for the formation of cavalry. In addition, Zhang Xiu's soldiers are not many, but 70 to 80% of them are cavalry. The number of cavalry is higher than that of Cao Cao.
More than double.
These are extremely adverse conditions…
The key is that even if Cao Cao wanted to form more cavalry regiments before the battle, the difficulty would be prohibitive.
Horses during the war were too rare and expensive.
The thousands of armored tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao finally managed to assemble had already spent very little money gained from tomb raiding and overthrowing.
Spending extra military expenditures to form cavalry would be insufficient in terms of money and energy. So, how to fight this battle on a plain battlefield?
"Brother Yi, tell me, is it possible that Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers can match Zhang Xiu's Xiliang cavalry?"
Cao Cao put forward his opinion, his eyes eager, as if he wanted to get the exact answer.
Unexpectedly, Yi Xiaotian just waved his hand and poured a basin of cool water.
"No, I can't beat them! If they fight on mountainous terrain, Cao Jun's Qingzhou soldiers still have a good chance of winning, but if it's a plain, I'll be honest, no matter how hard they fight, the infantry can't beat the cavalry!"
Huo…
The small Wancheng really stumped Cao Cao.
Cao Cao shook his head gently. "Brother Yi, what should I do? I can't win on this plain. Is it difficult to attack? If I still offer my advice to Cao Cao, wouldn't I let him fight this inevitable defeat?"
Fight?"
Cao Cao's tone was a little frustrated, and his tone was full of helplessness...
Who knew, hahaha...
Yi Xiaotian laughed out loud, as if he was laughing at Cao Cao and this interesting battle.
Finally, after ten breaths of time, Yi Xiaotian's laughter stopped abruptly.
"Brother Hide, brother Hide, I told Cao Cao to go and conquer Wancheng. When did I tell him to attack Wancheng? To conquer Wancheng, we only need to push the three armies over and cut off the food road between Wancheng and Jingzhou, and the food cannot be transported.
, Zhang Xiu is afraid that he won’t even be able to fight, so he will surrender directly!”
Ah... surrender directly?
Cao Cao was startled, his eyes were full of surprise. Zhang Xiu occupied the advantageous location and people, would he surrender?
Just when he thought of this, when Zheng Zheng was puzzled, Yi Xiaotian's words came out next.
"Brother Hide, think about it. After all, Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao have a grudge. Now the two sides are allied with each other. It's probably because Wancheng relies on Jingzhou's military food supplies... But once this food road is cut off, Zhang Xiu will inevitably die.
I have to have other thoughts."
"What else are you thinking?" Cao Cao rolled his eyes...and then asked anxiously, "What are your thoughts?"
"Well..."
Yi Xiaotian clicked his lips.
"For this spear king of the North, Liu Biao can be a financial sponsor, and Cao Cao can also be a financial sponsor. What's more, Liu Biao uses Zhang Xiu as a buffer zone, which is considered to be using Zhang Xiu. There is still a sworn hatred between the two sides.
On the other hand, since Cao Cao has no grudges against him and is still holding the banner of the emperor, Zhang Xiu will probably be able to understand the situation quickly and lead all the troops to surrender directly!"
Ah...this? Is this kind of operation possible?
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then... he surrendered so easily and comfortably?
No, there must be something wrong.
Cao Cao's mind changed rapidly. What Yi Xiaotian said was reasonable. Zhang Xiu would probably surrender if he thought so, but? Is his mind so clear? Cao Cao couldn't even think of this level? Can he think of it?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao shook his head violently. "Brother Yi, the insight into the situation you mentioned may not be something Cao Cao can calculate. Zhang Xiu, a military general, can analyze the situation so thoroughly.
Can he understand Liu Biao's plot to use him? Can he give up everything and switch to Cao Cao?"
"able…"
As soon as Cao Cao blurted out his words, Yi Xiaotian said the word "neng" with great certainty.
"Brother Hiding, I know you are worried. Zhang Xiu really wouldn't think of the president in the middle, but there is one person who can think of it. This guy's ability to understand the situation is unparalleled, and his eloquent tongue is even more impressive.
Not bad, this guy is the biggest liar in this troubled world!"
It seemed that because he mentioned a very special person, Yi Xiaotian's eyes narrowed tightly, and his whole expression became much more serious.
"As long as this guy is here, Zhang Xiu will definitely understand the situation, and Wancheng will definitely surrender! But the real crisis is precisely hidden behind this surrender!"
Yi Xiaotian's tone became more and more meticulous.
This kind of aura made Cao Cao very unfamiliar.
It seems that, so far, there has never been anyone whom Brother Yi values so much!
