Chapter 3 Hanzhong Strategy VS Jingzhou Strategy (I)
The princes who have not yet surrendered are Jiangdong-Sun Quan, Jingzhou-Liu Biao, Hanzhong-Zhanglu, Yizhou-Liu Zhang, they dominate one side, all have thousands of miles of land, one or two hundred thousand elite soldiers, and the strength cannot be ignored, as for the Jiaozhou-Shixie family, Nanzhong-Nanban tribe, because of the remoteness and sparse population, there is no need to consider it for the time being!
Although the strength of the Cao Ying Group is strong, it can't swallow the four towns in one bite, so it can only concentrate its forces and break through each one, as for attacking the princes of that road first, it will be discussed carefully!
As the saying goes: one step is smooth, one step is smooth, one step is difficult, one step is difficult, if the first step is not good, the road to unification of the world behind me is probably not easy to walk, maybe it will stop!
In terms of territory, troops, money and grain, Jingzhou is the strongest, Yizhou is second, Jiangdong is again, and Han is the weakest, should Cao's army be weak first and then strong, or strong first and then weak?
"Xiao Lang is both civil and military, there must be a high theory, dare to ask the princes of the four towns, it is better to take which road first, and I hope to give advice!"
Cao Cao was vigilant day and night, but he still recognized Xiao Yi's strategic vision very much, so when he was the first to ask, the participants also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Da Sima's high theory!
"Since the Prime Minister asked, the last general will say a few nonsense, according to the detailed investigation: the princes of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Yizhou have secretly formed an alliance, one side is in trouble, and the three parties support to fight against the imperial army, so if you want to unify the world, you must find the weak link and break up this four-party alliance!
Therefore, the last general suggested that a general should sit in Huainan, accumulate grain and grass on a large scale, train the sailors, and make a big move southward, so as to contain the two troops and horses of Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and then the main force of our army will secretly concentrate on the western capital - Chang'an, and then kill into Hanzhong in one fell swoop!
Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu have a grudge against their relatives, and they will never send troops to help, Liu Biao is a guardian dog, and he does not dare to send troops to reinforce in a big way, at most he will send a small group of people to bluff, as for Sun Quan of Jiangdong, although he is a young man with courage, but he is too far away from Hanzhong, and he is powerless to rescue!
Besides, if Jiangdong wants to send troops to rescue, it must pass through the territory of Jingzhou, between Biyaner and Liu Biao, but there is a grudge against his father, how can he let him pass easily, so the alliance of the four towns will be self-defeating!
Zhang Lu pretended to be a ghost, and his command was full of young people, although there were mountains and rivers and dangers, they could not stop our army's thunderous blow, as long as Hanzhong was taken, Bashu would be naked in front of the people, and the end would be sure to go down with a drum!
After occupying the southwest, our army can use local resources to accumulate grain and grass, build ordnance, and then go down the Yangtze River to capture Jingzhou and Jiangdong, so that within five or six years, it will be able to dominate the world! ”
As a traverser, Xiao Yi knows the trend of Chinese history, and the great unified empires of the past dynasties were conquered from north to south and from west to east, Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Qing, all of which are the same, because the northwest occupies a favorable geographical position and the folk customs are more strong, only the Ming Dynasty is half an exception!
Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a cattle herding baby, and suddenly rose in the troubled times, expelled the Tartars, restored China, and established the Ming Dynasty, which is also the only unified country from south to north in China's thousands of years of history!
However, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his fourth son, Zhu Di, launched the 'Battle of Jingyan', raised troops from Beijing City, fought all the way to Nanjing City, and seized the throne of his nephew, so strictly speaking, the Ming Dynasty was also the north to conquer the south!
Therefore, Xiao Yi suggested that Hanzhong should be taken first, and then Tubashu, complete the encirclement of the southeastern half of the wall, and complete the reunification of the country with a counterclockwise strategy of outflanking, which is not only the law of history, but also in line with the actual situation!
However, Xiao Yi also said a little panic, according to his own strategy for using troops, it is impossible to sweep away the princes in five or six years, and it will take at least ten years or more to complete the great cause of reunification.
"Although Hanzhong is mountainous, after all, it is down-to-earth, and we northern athletes have gone to it, and there is also a place for use, which is much stronger than sitting on a warship and vomiting in the dark!"
"Bashu is rich in products, known as the 'country of abundance', Gaozu has become an emperor because of it, if it falls into the hands of our army, its land, population, and materials, then the world's major events can be determined!"
………………………………
Jiang Ji, Liu Ye, and Hua Xin frequently clapped their hands and said yes, they were very much in favor of Xiao Yi's Hanzhong strategy, thinking that it was a good strategy to unify the world, and the generals with different surnames also nodded in support, only the scheming Cheng Yu never expressed his position!
Among the four strategists of Cao Ying, Cheng Yu has the lowest level of strategy, but he has the highest vision of people, so the other three are all dead, only he is alive and well, and he continues to increase his official ranks!
Cheng Yu knows very well that what Cao Cao cares about most now is a matter of time, not to mention ten years and eight years, he can't afford to wait for three years and five years, what he wants is to unify the world as soon as possible, so no matter how exquisite Xiao Yi's strategy is, he will not get approval!
"Xiao Lang's strategy is Lao Cheng's words for the country, and it has also benefited the old man a lot, but the mountains and rivers in Hanzhong are blocked, the roads are rugged, and it is difficult for the army to gallop vertically and horizontally.
Once the war drags on, the consumption of ordnance, grain and grass will be heavy, and the road in Hanzhong Mountain is rugged, and it is difficult to transfer materials, I am afraid that it will consume a lot of people's strength. ”
Closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and vetoed Xiao Yi's strategic arrangement in the most euphemistic tone, for the same reason as Cheng Yu guessed, he didn't have much time!
As the saying goes: people over fifty are not called demon longevity, that is to say, people in the Qin and Han dynasties, the average life expectancy is very short, and if you can live to the age of fifty, you will live a long life, and every extra day after that, it will be earned!
Cao Cao is over fifty years old, his health is getting worse, God knows how much life is left, this strategy that has only been effective in ten years and eight years is not something he can manage, if he dies before the victory, it will be a blind eye!
The biggest ambition of the traitor is to level Kyushu, unify the world, become the founding saint, and leave a name in history, for which he has spent most of his life's energy, as well as the lives of many relatives.
Therefore, Cao Cao needs a quick decision, preferably within three or four years, to unify the strategy of the world, even if the risk is higher and the cost is heavier, it is also at the expense!
"Brush! --Brush! ”
In the secret room, there was silence, pin drops could be heard, only a few dozen eyes kept turning, flickering, and communicating...... The strategic plan proposed by Da Sima was actually denied by the Prime Minister, which has never happened before, and it seems that the tacit understanding between Weng and his son-in-law is gone!
More importantly, there are differences of opinion at the decision-making level, where are the soldiers going, how should they fight in the unification war that is about to begin, and what are the chances of victory?
"Alas! --Hum! ”
The well-planned unification strategy was actually vetoed, Xiao Yi sighed and said no more, good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, he has already done his benevolence and righteousness, what else can he do?
In fact, I don't know about the traitor's mind, but the strategy of unifying the world is a super large chess game, and we must think carefully and act step by step in order to be foolproof, and those who want to be fast often do not reach it!
In the original history, Cao Cao was in a hurry and complacent, so that he was defeated in the Red Cliff War, losing countless soldiers and horses, not to mention money and food, and also lost the best opportunity to unify the world.
In this war with a very small chance of victory, what should I do, should I hide in the rear, save my strength, watch the fire from the other side, or rush to the front, adapt to the situation, and save the situation?
Among the generals of Cao Ying, in addition to the fallen ghosts, Xiao Yi has the highest strategic attainments and the most prominent military achievements, and his plans have been denied, so what dare others say?
First, the military talent of the people is insufficient, and they can't come up with a more subtle and feasible strategy.
Second, Xiao Yi has just passed his thirties, and it is the time to forge ahead, and the world in the next twenty years will inevitably be manipulated in his hands, if he offends him now, won't he bring trouble to himself and his descendants?
Everyone clearly knows that in addition to being domineering and ruthless, Da Sima also has two character defects: one is extremely protective of his shortcomings, and he does not allow relatives and friends to be bullied, and the other is that he has a strong sense of revenge.
"Your Excellency has worked hard all night, and I think I am hungry in my belly, let's use some food first, and after eating and drinking, it is not too late to discuss military affairs, the food in the Prime Minister's Mansion is good...... Ha ha! “
Seeing that there was a cold scene, Cao Pi hurriedly stood up and ordered the attendants to prepare the meal, and everyone realized that they were busy discussing the reunification and forgot the time, and it was already bright outside!
"Haha! -Zihuan is reasonable, let's use some breakfast and recharge our energy first, and then discuss the major events of the Southern Expedition! ”
Cao Cao glanced at the second son, nodded slightly approvingly, and then turned to look at the clan generals, hoping that in the later meeting, they would behave!
It turned out that before the meeting, Cao Cao privately summoned a group of clan generals, and also revealed some tones and his own strategic ideas, and then said them through their mouths!
Whether you are close or not, the surname is on the point, it is not okay, brothers are always better than outsiders, whether he is a straw bag or not!
