Seeing Guo Jia's happy face, Cao Cao's mood suddenly improved a lot for some reason.
"Filial piety, where does joy come from?"
With that said, Cao Cao turned around and walked into the tent, with Guo Jia following closely behind him. When the two of them entered the tent, Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately stood on the left and right outside the tent. They had been following Cao Cao for a long time.
, both Dian Wei and Xu Chu are used to it. Many times, they don't need Cao Cao's instructions, often just a word or an action, and they know what to do. Although Cao Cao didn't say anything just now, Dian
However, Wei Xuchu knew that Cao Cao and Guo Jia must have important matters to discuss.
Sitting down in the tent, Cao Cao asked in confusion: "What happened to the great joy that Fengxiao just mentioned?"
When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Prime Minister, I just went to see Ziwen and saw that he was reading "Thirty-six Stratagems" by You Xue. So I chatted with him for a few words, but found that Ziwen seemed to have some ideas. Moreover, he let me read it.
I felt that something would be of great use to the Prime Minister, so I hurriedly returned."
"what?"
"Prime Minister, why not ask Ziwen to bring it and present it to the Prime Minister?"
Guo Jia suggested to Cao Cao with a smile, which also aroused Cao Cao's great curiosity.
"In that case, let Ziwen come immediately."
Since the beginning of the Battle of Youzhou, Cao Zhang has made many military exploits.
Especially in the battle of Dukangting, Cao Zhang defeated Jiang Yiqu and showed his extraordinary ability. Then he captured Yongnu. Although there were factors involved in Guan Chengxian's surrender, it was still a great achievement. After two battles, Cao Zhang had already
He was promoted to prime minister and served as captain of the bandits. Of course there was a reason why he was Cao Cao's son, but it is undeniable that in the past few months, Cao Zhang had surprised Cao Cao.
Now, Cao Zhang is marching with Cao Cao and stationed outside Wuzhong City.
In a short time, Cao Zhang hurried to the Chinese army's tent. At the same time, he took Niu Gang and Dianfu with him and ordered his retinue to carry a heavy thing.
"Ziwen, what is this?"
Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhang in confusion and asked.
Cao Zhang grinned and said: "Father, this is the treasure that Mr. designed when he was in Hexi."
Cao Zhang is now seventeen. He is born to be unruly and never obeys others.
There is only one gentleman in his mouth, and that is Cao Peng...
Cao Cao frowned, "What tricks did Youxue come up with again?"
"Father, please look."
As he spoke, Cao Zhang asked his followers to clear out the Chinese army's tent, and then placed the things in the center of the tent. Cao Cao's current demeanor is not comparable to that of Sikong. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he is in charge of the thirteen Cao Cao and manages the affairs of the world.
, almost completely ignoring the emperor.
Therefore, the layout of this Chinese military tent is much larger than before.
A large Chinese army tent was divided into two parts, the front and rear, covering an area of nearly a thousand square meters. Various utensils and items were placed inside. Once it was cleaned up, it suddenly felt much emptyer. The things Cao Zhang brought were covered with a layer of black linen.
Cao Zhang waved his hand and saw Niu Gang and Dianfu each grabbing a corner of the linen cloth and slowly opening the linen cloth, revealing a giant sand table with an astonishing area.
"This is……"
Cao Cao was startled and didn't quite understand why.
Cao Zhang smiled and said: "This sand table is called a sand table. It is a model designed by Mr. when he was conquering the Western Qiang. It completely copied the entire terrain of the Western Qiang. I saw that it had been raining recently and the war was somewhat unfavorable, so I wanted to design it.
Design a sand table to completely replicate the entire western Liaoning battlefield. Now, I have just started to prepare, and the entire sand table has not yet been fully formed."
"Yeah?"
Cao Cao walked to the sand table with great interest, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
In the past, there were marching maps. Although they were extremely accurate, they were obviously very lacking compared to the sand table in front of us.
Of course, this sand table is not without its flaws. For example, it can only outline a local terrain and cannot give an overall vision. However, when Cao Cao stood in front of the sand table, he had a completely different feeling.
Using a map is one perspective and one idea; but using a sand table is another perspective and idea. This also made Cao Cao extremely surprised.
"What's this?"
Cao Cao asked, pointing to a river on the sand table.
"Father, this is wet water...and this place is Fei Ru."
Cao Zhang stepped forward and began to explain to Cao Cao, "The entire sand table includes Wu Ending and Liao Xi...Father, please look, this is Xu Wushan, and this is Lulong Sai. Our current location is over here.
According to the scout's report, Yuan's army's troops and horses were displayed on the front line of the Ru River. All supplies, food and grass were stored in Feiru, and they were stationed in person. It would be very difficult to attack with surprise troops.
At the same time, the terrain along the Rushui River is complex.
Here are hills, here are mountains and rivers... After Yuan Jun defends a few ferries, it will be difficult to launch a full-line attack.
After much thought, I realized that if we attack Rushui by force, the losses will be huge. Now Yuan Xi, like his father did in Guandu, used Rushui as a natural chasm to fight to the death with our army. And now this season is the rainy season. Rushui
The river swelled and the water was very fast. If I wanted to conquer the Ru River, I would have to pay a huge price. If I were Yuan Xi, I would definitely use the topography of western Liaoning to gradually retreat and block attacks layer by layer. In this way, my father would have to spend a lot of money to conquer western Liaoning.
The amount of food, grass and troops must be an extremely astonishing figure.
Even if it is a victory, it is a miserable victory.
Yuan Xida can retreat to Liaodong and deal with us.
Once the weather gets cold, our men may not be able to adapt to the bitter cold weather in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced by then.
As long as he can delay this winter and come next spring, we will be in a situation where we can no longer sustain food and grass, and we will have to evacuate Youzhou... And this battle is the first battle since my father became the prime minister. My father reset the prime minister, and the court
Many people have already opposed it. If it fails without success, it will inevitably lead to more dissatisfaction. In addition, it will waste money and people, and in the end, there is likely to be a second rebellion among the princes."
Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Cao Zhang in surprise.
After a moment, he glanced at Guo Jia again and suddenly asked: "Ziwen, are these all your own thoughts?"
Cao Zhang looked shy and nodded slightly, but then shook his head.
"It's not all what the child thought, but I suddenly felt something after reading the chapter of "The Thirty-Six Stratagems" written by Mr. in the book "Thirty-Six Stratagems" written by Mr.
Eliminate its power and defeat the image of Qian Shang. When explaining this article, the teacher used the examples of Zhou Yafu's battle with Wu King Liu Bi, as well as his father's battle of Guandu and the surprise attack on Wuchao.
At that time, Dong Zhuo said in a letter to General He Jin: There is no better way to stop the boiling water than to cut off the salary.
Boy these days, I have been thinking about, where is Yuan Jun's 'salary'? At first glance, Fei Ru is the Wuchao during the Battle of Guandu, and it is Yuan Jun's 'salary'. But Boy'er feels that Yuan Jun's 'salary' is
"Salary" is not in Feiru, but in other places. When I left Xudu and took office in Shenhu Pavilion, my husband once said to him: The difficulty of Prime Minister's expedition to Youzhou is not Yuan Xi, nor the power of Yuan's army, but the three factors.
County Liaodong. At that time, the child was a little unclear. It was not until these days when the army had difficulty marching that he suddenly understood what the teacher meant. The so-called three counties of Liaodong were not talking about people, but the sky and the land... So, the child
I ordered people to survey the terrain, hoping to completely replicate the terrain from Wuzhong to Rushui on a sand table, and then look for Yuan Jun's flaws."
Cao Zhang's words really shocked Cao Cao.
He was quoting scriptures and talking about the past and the present without stopping.
This allowed Cao Cao to see a completely different Huang Xuer from his impression.
My Huang Xuer is now an adult!
Cao Cao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
He smiled so heartily that he even cried.
Cao Zhang was stunned and looked at Cao Cao doubtfully. Guo Jia smiled silently at the side, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
He knew why Cao Cao was laughing, and he could even figure out what Cao Cao was thinking at this time.
To be honest, since Cao Pi's death, Cao Cao seemed to have returned to normal very quickly, as if he didn't care about anything. But deep down, how many people understand Cao Cao's grief? The two most outstanding sons, Cao Ang and Cao Pi,
They died in battle one after another. In the past, Cao Zhang only knew how to fight for power. Although he was very popular with Cao Cao, he was not a person who could be trusted. Originally, Cao Cao valued Cao Zhi and Cao Chong. But he did not expect that Cao Zhi had outstanding literary talent.
However, he is a little frivolous and cannot be reused; Cao Chong is also very smart, not even inferior to Cao Zhi, and does not have Cao Zhi's frivolous temperament. However, there seems to be something missing in Cao Chong's character.
He was too mean and made Cao Cao feel a little unhappy.
Cao Peng didn't talk about it back then, and just talked about Zhou Buyi...
The relationship between Cao Chong and Zhou Buyi was considered close at that time. But after Zhou Buyi's accident, Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhen to go to Yingchuan Academy to inquire. Cao Chong actually didn't ask about Zhou Buyi's life and death, and just said that he had been deceived.
, it is absolutely impossible to harm Cao Cao's life.
Of course Cao Cao believed that Cao Chong would not kill him.
But the crux of the problem is that Cao Chong was eager to distance himself and did not care about friendship at all, which made Cao Cao very unhappy.
Cao Cao was a man who would rather betray others than others betray me. But in his heart, he attached great importance to emotions. I think back then, Cao Peng allowed Lu Bu's family to go overseas for his own selfish reasons. Logically speaking, Cao Cao controlled Cao Peng.
A capital crime, there is absolutely no problem. However, he let Cao Peng go... Later, Cao Peng cut off Fu Wan's hand for his sister Cao Nan; in order to avenge Wang Meng, he killed Wei Duan in a rage.
Is Cao Cao angry?
Of course I'm angry!
But while he was angry, Cao Cao also cared a lot more about Cao Peng.
Because no one in this world is willing to hate a person who values friendship... On the contrary, it was Cao Chong who more or less disappointed Cao Cao.
The remaining children are too young to be reused.
Deep down in his heart, Cao Cao has been troubled by the matter of his successor.
But now, Huang Xuer, who only knew how to wield swords and guns, could talk to him endlessly about the past and the present, just like Cao Pi and Cao Ang in those days. How could Cao Cao not be happy? How could he not be emotional? He
With a smile in his eyes, he listened quietly to Cao Zhang's words.
After a while, Cao Cao suddenly said: "Ziwen, do you dare to supervise the army?"
