"Haha!" Cao Cao smiled, looking confident and confident. "Don't panic, strategist. What I just mentioned is to divide the troops into two groups!"
Huo…
All of a sudden, everyone understood.
No wonder the troops had to be divided into two groups to evacuate. It turned out that Cao Cao had already had a strategy in mind, and he went all the way to win over the people of Xuzhou, to annihilate Lu Bu, to recapture Puyang, and to pacify the rear area!
But? It seems... there's always something wrong!
That's right... dividing the troops into two groups is a compromise, but if the troops are dispersed? Can Puyang City be recaptured?
Many civil servants and generals had doubts in their eyes...
Of course Cao Cao knew their concerns. Wasn't this look the same doubt that arose in his mind when he faced Yi Xiaotian in a wine shop?
"Zixiao!"
Cao Cao immediately greeted Cao Ren...
Cao Ren took out a bamboo slip. This was a bamboo slip they had picked up when they passed by Chenliu County Station along the way. It was the detailed information about Lu Bu in Puyang City that they had carefully explored.
However, in Cao Cao's view, this is not the point.
The key point is what is recorded in the bamboo slips. The number of Lu Bu’s soldiers and horses is exactly the same as what Yi Xiaotian described——
——"Not enough".
Sure enough, because of Yi Xiaotian's prediction, Cao Cao adopted a specific strategy and defended a large area of Yanzhou. Lu Bu, who only captured a Puyang city, was not enough to recruit sufficient soldiers in a short period of time. He only had more than 20,000 soldiers.
people!
Just over 20,000 people!
In Cao Cao's opinion, even half of the Qingzhou soldiers and tiger and leopard cavalry are enough to deal with it!
Cao Ren read out the contents of the bamboo slips.
This time.
This finally gave all the civil servants and generals in the big tent a piece of reassurance. Do you think Lu Bu doesn't have many soldiers?
Just 20,000 people, trying to swallow up the entire Yanzhou?
Isn't this just building a floor in a hut - looking for 'death'!
For a while, everyone felt that the strategy of dividing the troops into two groups, counterattacking Puyang, and conquering Xuzhou was feasible and feasible!
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Xi Zhicai bowed his hands. "My lord is a great talent. It turns out that the situation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou is under my lord's control. But I was too worried!"
Ha ha ha ha…
Cao Cao laughed, raised his hands, and pretended to be cool with pleasure!
Of course, only he himself knows what price he paid to obtain this strategy!
The snowflakes were flying, and I had traveled long distances for three days and three nights. I had just made a round trip from a wine shop, and my body was almost falling apart.
but…
Even so, Cao Cao felt it was worth it!
Compared to recovering Puyang City and capturing Xuzhou, what does this little pain mean?
"Without further delay, we must divide our forces immediately. Xuzhou must be captured, and Puyang City must be recaptured!"
The tone is vigorous.
At this point, Cao Cao swept away his mental and physical fatigue and let out a loud shout. "You will gather the three soldiers as soon as possible!"
"Here!"
Everyone accepted the order!
For a time, snowflakes were flying in the vast land, and Cao Cao's army was divided into two. They quickly gathered and attacked quickly. They rushed to Puyang with lightning speed, and fought steadily all the way, capturing the hearts of Xuzhou...
These are two tough battles, two tough battles that are enough to lay a solid foundation in the process of Wei Wu raising his whip!
…
…
In Langya County, Xuzhou, a troop of 4,000 soldiers and horses was secretly hiding in the darkness.
Da da da…
In the snow, scouts are riding fast horses through the snow. It seems they have urgent information!
"Report, my lord! Cao's army gave up the siege and turned to attack the remaining cities in Xuzhou. Every time they captured a place, they opened warehouses to release grain, exempted and exempted taxes, and stabilized people's hearts! They also passed down military orders that the three armies would not invade any place they had passed!"
A message...
In the big tent, in front of the scout, a man with big ears and long arms stood in the middle. Next to him were two people, one with a face as red as a red date, and the other with a skin as black as charcoal!
Yes, these three people are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who came from the plains to rescue Tao Qian...
Suddenly, Liu Bei's brows furrowed tightly, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both a little surprised when they saw their elder brother's appearance. Previously, even if the battle situation in Xuzhou was unfavorable, his elder brother didn't seem to be so gloomy?
Could it be that now that Cao Cao has given up the siege of Xuzhou, Tao Xuzhou can breathe a sigh of relief? The eldest brother is actually worried?
"Brother?" Guan Yu couldn't help but ask. "Why is eldest brother so sad? Cao Jun gave up the siege and Tao Xuzhou escaped. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Alas...Second brother, you only know one, but not the other!"
Liu Bei let out a long breath. "Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou in name only to avenge his family, but in fact he coveted the land of Xuzhou. This was tacitly understood by everyone. Therefore, even if his troops were invincible, the people, officers and soldiers of Xuzhou
, the clans will also work together to fight against each other...With our help, Xuzhou may not be able to defend it! But..."
At this point, Liu Bei paused and shook his head before continuing.
"But now, Cao Cao is uncharacteristically caring for the people, opening warehouses to provide food, and stabilizing people's hearts... This is the most terrifying thing! If he does this, within two months, people in Xuzhou will turn against him, and there will be no chance of reversing the war.
Got it!"
"Is it so serious?" Guan Yuyou didn't believe it, and his originally expressionless face became even more paralyzed.
"What the hell!" Zhang Fei shouted loudly with a snake spear eight feet tall. "If Cao Cao doesn't besiege the city, we can go and beat him! Let's see if I don't poke a hundred transparent holes in the eunuch's adopted grandson..."
As he spoke, Zhang Fei felt eager to try...
"Third brother!" Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei. "No! This time the enemy is strong and we are weak. The enemy has given up his dominance and turned to benevolence. If we fight at this time, our army will definitely be defeated! We'd better go to Tancheng to see Tao first.
Xuzhou, make some careful plans!"
Liu Bei's tone was a little frustrated...
He came to Xuzhou this time, ostensibly to help Tao Qian. In fact, he planned to use a gentle way to conquer Xuzhou and get a place to settle down. To this end, he did not hesitate to betray the trust of his old classmate Gongsun Zan!
Xuzhou is a big cake, a big cake that makes people jealous!
But…
The current situation left Liu Bei a little confused as to why Cao Cao, who had always acted in a domineering manner, suddenly focused on the people's hearts.
In this way, Cao Cao won both the right time and the people's support. Even if Liu Bei managed to get Xuzhou, a large area of Xuzhou's territory had already surrendered to Cao Cao, and the people's support was indestructible!
It seems that all that is left are just a few cities?
And these cities? Facing Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops? Can Liu Bei defend them?
"well…"
There was another long sigh, which seemed to be lamenting the injustice of fate.
"Cao Cao's character! I can't think of such a way to appease the people and attack the enemy's hearts!" Liu Bei looked out the window and murmured in thought. "Could he have an expert around him?"
The more he thought about it, the more Liu Bei felt cold all over his body...
He patted his chest, took a deep breath, and murmured to himself, "This master? Who is he?"
…
…
"Ah sneeze!"
There was a restaurant where Yi Xiaotian fell ill. Before traveling, he should have had a mild cold!
Otherwise, you will be sneezing and sneezing all day long for no reason, as if you are always being remembered, which is not a wonderful feeling!
"Zhao Ji, look at the weather. It's so cold that my hair is standing on end. My husband has even fallen ill! We have a wine shop nearby. If there isn't a medical office, it wouldn't be beautiful! It wouldn't be beautiful!"
Ah sneeze…
Yi Xiaotian sneezed again and complained about the horrible weather.
"Sir, you are weak, so you blame the weather!" Cai Zhaoji said casually while calculating the account books...
She seemed to have paid special attention to the word "Medical Department", and she paused slightly. "But this Medical Department is very useful. Recently, more and more folks in the countryside are suffering from typhoid fever."
Hmm...typhoid fever?
Yi Xiaotian thought for a moment that this was a disease unique to the Little Ice Age.
A disease that is difficult to cure, and its level is even similar to the plague.
According to historical records, during this period of the Later Han Dynasty, the number of people who died tragically on the battlefield was not even one-tenth of the number of people who died from typhoid fever. This shows how terrifying this symptom is!
And there is no cure...
Yi Xiaotian thought slightly...
He thought of a person and a book!
Huh... Yi Xiaotian exhaled.
When we opened a wine shop in Suanzao County, Chenliu County, we received a lot of help from the folks in the village.
It is also time to make some contributions to the fellow villagers.
"Zhao Ji, please bring me some pen and ink!"
Yi Xiaotian shouted...
"Sir? What do you want to do?"
"I want to write a medical book!"
Facing Cai Zhaoji's doubts, Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly and wrote the name of the medical book in large strokes - "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases"!
