Chapter 1634: The Battle of Xuzhou (230)
Manzhong's plan is very clear, that is, he wants to lead an army to capture Pengcheng, and Cao Cao will go to Xuzhou City, and occupy the two major towns of Xuzhou in one sentence, of course, Cao Cao actually has some concerns, once the troops are divided, if there is danger, it may be fatal, so Manzhong tried his best to maintain confidence on his face, but Cao Cao did not have a trace of relaxation on his face, and muttered, "Actually, it seems that Liu Lan does not have any ability to fight back now, with our current strength, we also have enough strength, but don't forget that this battle is being fought in Xuzhou, You have to think carefully about how much unnecessary trouble we will cause once we divide our troops, and if any unforeseen threat arises at that time, there may be no foreign aid to support us. ”
Man Favor retreated, he understood Cao Cao's worries, to put it bluntly, this is also the reason why Xuzhou City suddenly appeared tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians spontaneously resisting the enemy, so that he had to formulate a set or even more sets of plans, at that time, Xiahou Yuan attacked Xuzhou City, completely out of knowing that Liu Lan had led the main force to leave, and it was effortless to attack the empty Xuzhou City, but the reality told him that Liu Lan's foundation in Xuzhou was too deep, once he used Man's suggestion, if a situation similar to Xuzhou happened again, Then the division of troops will make them passive, and then it will inevitably make the plan to capture Pengcheng and Xuzhou City go to naught.
After Cao Cao waited for the full favor to sit down, he said: "Do you know why I am now entangled in whether to go to Pengcheng or Xuzhou City, the reason is very simple, because Xuzhou City is the seat of Xuzhou governance, and winning Xuzhou will be more beneficial for us to compete with Yuan Shao for the counties of Xuzhou in the future, but now it seems that we must have a trade-off." ”
Cao Cao sighed, what is the purpose of this battle, if even he has forgotten the original intention of this battle, then there is no need for this battle to continue, and now they are just returning to the original point and taking a step forward, and before that, for Cao Cao, the so-called battle of Xuzhou, he and his Yanzhou army have always been standing still, and this makes many people forget their original intention.
Their original intention was to eliminate the biggest threat, Liu Lan, and then occupy Xuzhou, so the matter of occupying Xuzhou can wait for a while, and eliminating Liu Lan is the key, otherwise Liu Lan will be relieved, and he will face Liu Lan's crazy revenge, and at that time, with the current situation in Yanzhou, he is powerless to resist.
"Has Gong Cao already decided?" Guo Jia stood up and said.
"Hesitation is the biggest taboo of the main general, and the famous generals who can leave their names since then are all those who make decisions on the spot, and now we are here to be entangled in whether it is for selfish interests or justice is completely because of human nature, because we will naturally be driven by interests, but if you ignore these for the time being, then do you think it is important to capture an empty city in Xuzhou or defeat or even kill Liu Lan?"
The room full of generals and strategists more than a dozen people all straightened their waists, staring at Cao Cao's glowing eyes, at this time, in fact, Cao Cao didn't need to say anything, they also knew his plan, that is, to completely defeat Liu Lan, defeat Liu Lan, and other things can be put aside, not to mention that Xiahou Yuan is outside Xuzhou City, don't worry too much, you can send a general to Xuzhou City to help Xiahou Yuan after defeating Liu Lan, but that is all after defeating Liu Lan, Maybe when the time comes, when the city of Xuzhou learns the news that Liu Lan was killed or even defeated, they will give up resistance, so the spontaneous resistance of the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City will not pose any threat to them at all.
Of course, a key reason why Cao Cao was so excited to defeat Liu Lan was that his inner line got Yuan Shu had accelerated the steps to become the emperor, although Zhang Xun may still be on the way back at this time, but this matter is not trivial, if Yuan Shu is called the emperor, then the situation in the whole world will be changed because of this, and they will have no chance to fight Xuzhou again, whether he wants to or not, the main target must be directed to Yuan Shu, this is the general trend of the world, not that he can change, even if he still wants to continue to attack Xuzhou, Don't say that Xuzhou City will be completely chaotic, maybe more than half of the people who are discussing with him in the account will jump out of the account to ask for withdrawal, and in order not to lose the support of these old departments and not to lose the support of the soldiers in the army, he can only compromise and turn the spearhead to Shouchun.
"This stupid guy, self-righteous idiot." Cao Cao scolded Yuan Shu countless times in his heart, so short-sighted that he would have the idea of self-reliance, once this happened, it would make him fall into extreme passivity, at this moment he even felt that Yuan Shao was really too cute, at least he was just thinking about abolishing the Son of Heaven to set up a new monarch, instead of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor himself, maybe even Yuan Shao himself could see the current form of the world, whoever dared to take this step would be spurned by the world.
To put it bluntly, although people of insight in the world are looking for the Ming Lord to make contributions, to put it bluntly, they just want to manage Zhong Leyi, but they still respect the Han in their bones, if they find that the Duke of Qi Huan who they assisted is not to dominate but to replace the Zhou family, it is conceivable that how can they go without hanging the seal?
In fact, in this era, it is far more advantageous to be a prince than to be the son of heaven, on the contrary, it will be like being roasted by adding up, and it is in dire straits, on the contrary, Shouchun is yours, it is not good to be a general in peace and stability, at most, it is not good to learn that Liu Yan is called the Son of Heaven in Yizhou Munei?
