"In the bitter cold land of Youzhou, it is difficult for the army to march, the enemy is frightened by the bow bird, and the wind will inevitably flee, this northern expedition is difficult, but the use of troops is like climbing a high mountain, how can there be a reason to give up halfway, and there are three reasons, let me wait for the troops to ......."

When everyone hesitated, Guo Jia suddenly stood up and bluntly said that the necessity of sending troops may be due to proper recuperation, the 'ghost talent' has a ruddy complexion and is full of energy, and he has gained several pounds!

This reassured Cao Cao and Xiao Yi a lot, as long as Guo Jia was in good health, the chariot of Cao Ying Group would be able to drive smoothly and crush all the enemies to death!

"One: Yuan Xuan is the second son of Yuan Shao, with a certain appeal, as long as this son does not die for a day, the remnants of the Yuan family will inevitably gather in the past, trying to restore the land of Hebei, the assassination incident a few days ago, they secretly planned, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, never the trouble!

Second: the four divisions are not destroyed, the Central Plains is difficult to be safe, our army must subordinate a large number of men and horses, defend the long border in the north, contain the troops, consume money and food, not to mention, it will also affect the southern expedition of our army, and the great cause of dominating the world will also be delayed!

Third: Youzhou has many mountain ranges, stretching for more than 1,000 miles from east to west, it is a natural military defense line, as long as the dangerous place is guarded, it can block the invasion of aliens, on the contrary, if you let Karasuma and Xianbei entrench here, and slowly develop strength, the Central Plains will have no peace, which will leave a disaster to future generations! ”

Guo Jia fingers the map, the overall situation is particularly clear, Youzhou is the watershed of the two major ethnic groups of agriculture and nomadism, who can control this area, can be condescending and occupy the geographical advantage, it is related to the rise and fall of the Chinese nation, naturally there is no retreat!

"The three things that Feng Xiao said are exactly what the old man wants, Youzhou is the territory of the Han Dynasty, how can you allow foreigners to get involved, the matter of sending troops has been decided, and then there are those who retreat - beheading!"

Cao Cao pulled out the sword of Yitian and slashed it on the table, and a corner fell to the ground, which is called chopping wood for an oath!

"Expelling the aliens, recovering my rivers and mountains, blood will not be shed, death will not be truce--kill! Kill! Kill! ”

………………

The Prime Minister has made up his mind, and this matter has not changed, and the civil and military ministers pulled out their swords, pointed diagonally to the sky, and shouted the battle cry, isn't it a battlefield duel, are you dead or alive, see who is afraid of whom!

However, the determination is good, things are difficult to do, how to recover Youzhou in one fell swoop, annihilating the main force of the enemy army in the shortest possible time, it is still a big problem, everyone's eyes fall on Guo Jia, 'ghost talent' never says big things, since he comes out to fight, there must be a wonderful countermeasure!

"The recovery of Youzhou is a very important matter, do you think it is better to send troops?"

Guo Jia took out the wine gourd and poured a few sips of wine, and a sly smile appeared on the bohemian and unruly handsome face!

"There will be more than ten days to be stunned, the farmers should be busy plowing the fields, naturally after the end of spring ploughing, it is better to send troops to the Northern Expedition!"

"In the bitter cold land of Youzhou, the snow has not yet melted, I'm afraid it will take a while for the army to hit the road!"

……………………………………

Taking into account the weather, geography, environment...... All kinds of problems, everyone thinks that it is better to send troops after the 'spring equinox', when the spring flowers are blooming, the roads are smooth, and it is easier for the large army to fight!

Besides, hard work in the spring, harvest in the autumn, no matter what happens, you can't delay plowing the fields and sowing seeds, even the war is no exception, this is the tradition of 'spring ploughing without war'!

Cao Jun's previous crusade against Lu Bu, defeat of Yuan Shu, and the decisive battle of Guandu were all sent after the spring ploughing, and there were never exceptions, because if the spring ploughing was delayed, the soldiers would be hungry!

Everyone talked about it, only two people didn't speak, one was Cao Cao, the other was Xiao Yi, closed his eyes and pondered, smiling, obviously guessed something, but the former was a smug smile, and the latter was a bitter smile!

"What you are saying is extremely true, spring ploughing does not fight, it has been a practice for the ages, Yuan Xu, Gongsun Du, Karasuma people, and Xianbei people also think so, so before the spring equinox, they are not prepared!

In this case, why don't we go the opposite way and send an elite cavalry to suddenly enter Youzhou, and strive to annihilate the enemy's main force in one fell swoop before the spring equinox, even if we can't win, we can contain the enemy army and buy time for the team! ”

Guo Jia is bold in using troops, good at winning with dangerous moves, and never behaves in a peaceful manner, and his own people can't guess his thoughts, let alone enemy generals!

"Before the spring ploughing, the last general really didn't expect it, and the enemy naturally couldn't think of it, but it was a good way to win by surprise!"

"Although the method is good, it is also very risky, the terrain of Youzhou is complicated, if you miss a hit, things will not be easy to do!"

………………………………………………

There was another heated discussion, some people nodded and praised, some people sighed and shook their heads, and some people pondered for a long time, the 'ghost talent' came up with a clever plan, but it was also a risky move!

If you want to win by surprise, the key is the word 'fast', which affects the speed of the march for two reasons: one is the number of troops, and the other is logistics supply!

Thousands of miles of sneak attack, straight to Youzhou, must be all cavalry, the number can not exceed 30,000, otherwise the target is too big, easy to expose the whereabouts, encounter narrow roads, the brigade is difficult to pass!

The cavalry is running for a long distance, and the logistics cannot keep up, so they can only consume the grain and grass of the army, and they can't carry too much, so as not to delay the speed of the march, and ten days is a limit!

In other words, this group of men and horses will inevitably enter the territory of Youzhou within ten days, find the main force of the enemy, and then win more with less and annihilate it in one fell swoop!

It sounds good, there are too many practical difficulties, what to do if your whereabouts are exposed halfway, what to do if you can't find the main force of the enemy, what to do if you are outnumbered and defeated, there are too many accidental factors, which may lead to the failure of the sneak attack!

At that time, there will be no food and grass inside, no rescue outside, and they will go deep into the enemy's territory, if they are lucky, they can make a living by guerrilla and looting, and if they are unlucky, they will be wiped out and die without a place to bury!

Then again, if you want to solve the northern frontier once and for all, the only way to do it is to follow Guo Jia's method and win by surprise attack, so the civil and military ministers nodded one after another, approving the strategy of the 'ghost talent'!

Needless to say, everyone is staring at Xiao Yi, this matter is none other than Da Sima, on the one hand: Cao Cao presides over the overall situation, Guo Jia makes suggestions, and Xiao Yi charges into battle, this is a practice formed over the years, the three of them have tacitly cooperated, and they have always been invincible!

On the other hand: Xiao Yi is a native of Youzhou, familiar with people, easy to act, can increase the chance of success, and has 30,000 Xuanjia iron horsemen under his command, who can fight well and be extremely elite!

"After ten days of preparation, the last general will send troops to the north, and he will definitely seize Youzhou, behead Yuan Xu, and dedicate it to the Prime Minister!"

Xiao Yi had already guessed that this matter belonged to him, and the date for sending troops was also set, war is a gambling game, and he has played it even more dangerously, so what is there to be afraid of?

I am a native of Youzhou, and I also serve as the 'Youzhou pastor', so it is reasonable to be reasonable, and I should also shoulder this responsibility, but also in front of my hometown fathers, I have a good hand to show my hand, and Wohu Mountain-Xiaodaoguan, I haven't been back for ten years!

"I wish Da Sima a victory, and success!"

…………………………

Everyone hugged their fists and bowed their hands to show congratulations, such a vicious battle and dangerous battle, only 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' can bear it, the world's number one general, definitely not blown out, but in exchange for military exploits!

The big matter has been decided, everyone left one after another, so it is better to go back and prepare, Xiao Yi deliberately fell behind, and when he crossed the threshold of the secret room, he suddenly turned around and glanced at Cao Cao, showing a bright smile, and then left calmly!

"The child immediately allocated grain and grass, as well as things to use, and ten days later, he set out for the Great Sima Zhuangxing!"

After everyone left, only the father and son of the Cao family were left in the secret room, Cao Pi stepped forward and asked his father for instructions, this is a good opportunity to perform!

"Haha! --Although Wu'er is very shrewd, after all, he lacks military experience, do you think that after ten days, Xiao Lang will really go on the expedition? ”

Cao Cao laughed for a while, and then shook his head, the second son is shrewd and capable, but unfortunately he can't understand the way of military strategy, and he must find a few talents to assist, so that he can sit firmly in the future!

"There is no joke in the army, since Da Sima agreed, will he regret it halfway?"

Cao Pi was really stunned, the dignified 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang', also has times when he is cowardly and fearful, this is also incredible!

"Xiao Lang is brave, how can he be afraid to go on the expedition, if his father expects it, he will go out tonight, as fast as wind and fire, fast as lightning, all the way into Youzhou!"

Cao Cao and Xiao Yi have the same mind, and from a smile, they understand many meanings, as for the ten-day covenant - if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself!

"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang - unfathomable, such a powerful general, can he control it...... If you can't suppress it, what should you do? ”

Cao Pi was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and at the same time he remembered a person-Sima Yi, with the cunning and treacherous of 'Tsukasa Tiger', maybe he could contain Xiao Yi, right?

………………………………………………

Cao Cao didn't expect it badly, a sneak attack for thousands of miles, the soldiers were fast, how could Xiao Yi wait for ten days, that was to confuse everyone's attention and increase the probability of success of the sneak attack!

That night, Xiao Yi took Zhao Yu, Daoxiang, Deng Ai, Hao Zhao and more than 100 personal soldiers, sneaked out of Yecheng and went straight to Qinghe County, where 30,000 Xuanjia troops were stationed, practicing day and night to prepare, ready to go out at any time!

At the same time, the order was sent to Ma Liu, Da Niu, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, and Jiang Qi...... Each brought the people of the headquarters, and then followed up secretly to kill Youzhou as quickly as possible!
