Guo Jia thought about it and said intermittently: "If the Cao army expands like this, there will inevitably be problems in the subordination, and our army can easily send people to blend in with the Cao army to create chaos." But if there is less, it will not be effective, and if there is more, it will be discovered. ”

Xu Maogong said at this time: "If the Cao army can take the initiative to retreat, even if the 500,000 people are elite, it will be difficult to convey the order. The spies infiltrated by our army can take the opportunity to create chaos, and they will definitely succeed! ”

"Makes sense!" Li Yi pondered with the three military advisors and Xu Shu, Xu Maogong and others thought about strategies, while Li Yi gave full play to his greatest advantages and began to recall the classic battles of later generations to see if he could find a way out from them.

Soon, Li Yi remembered a classic battle in later generations, which was less than two hundred years from now, so he quickly remembered that it was the Battle of Weishui!

The battle took place in 383 AD, the former Qin sent troops to attack the Jin, fought at the river, and finally the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated the former Qin army known as one million with less than 100,000 troops.

At the beginning, Fu Jian's army was large but mixed, internally unstable, and morale was very low after a long period of invincibility, similar to the situation of Cao Pi today.

The battle of Huaishui was in Huaishui, and now it is in Huaishui, which can also be called the battle of Huaishui. Li Yi plans to recreate this classic battle. Of course, as the main character, he naturally has to play the winning side.

"In this way, what do the military advisors think?" Li Yi asked after concisely recounting the process of the battle of Weishui.

Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen and Guo Jia and others are all top strategists, and they immediately figured it out. They admired Li Yi's strategy very much, but they soon saw that this strategy had certain flaws, as the chief military advisor, Xu Maogong first pointed out: "The lord's plan is very good, but there are still some flaws." ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the flaw?" ”

Xu Maogong said: "Lord, although Cao Pi has an army of 500,000 now, he is actually at a disadvantage. And the strategy of the lord is best if it is used to defeat the strong with the weak. ”

Li Yixin said that Xu Maogong deserved to be a person with superb wisdom, and immediately saw the fatal flaw of this strategy, so he asked: "Then in Maogong's opinion, what should be good!" ”

Several military advisors and strategists summed it up, and finally Guo Jia said: "The lord's strategy is very good, the strong want to fight quickly, and the weak will have the opportunity to use this strategy." Although Cao Pi is not a strong man now, he wants to stick to it. But his army of 500,000 is huge, and the daily consumption is huge, and he only needs to wait a few days before he becomes eager to fight quickly. ”

"Makes sense!" Li Yi was overjoyed.

From this day on, the Northern Xinjiang Army no longer took the initiative to attack, but confronted Cao's army according to the river. Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

………………

In the seventh year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (202 AD), in late August, Shouchun, the palace of the king of Wei.

Cao Pigao sat in the hall, stroked his left face for a while, and stroked his right face for a while, looking very irritable, and said to Chen Deng below: "Urge, urge, even if you are lonely and rich in the world, there is no surplus food." Hold on first, and after the autumn harvest next month, there will be plenty of food! ”

Chen Dengxin said that don't talk about waiting for next month, I'm afraid that the army will rebel without food for another half a month, so he said: "Lord, think of a way again!" ”

Cao Pi was furious when he heard this, stood up, and shouted: "You are my Wei Wangfu minister, and you are Gu's adviser, you actually let Gu come to think of a way, what's the use of asking you to be this minister?" ”

Chen Deng despised Cao Pi in his heart, and said in his heart that Li Yi wanted to crusade against you Cao Pi, but not me Chen Deng. But he didn't dare to contradict it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes......." ”

At this time, Chen Deng's father, Chen Qi on the side, helped and said: "The lord is angry, Yuanlong has tried his best, but the consumption of 500,000 troops is too huge. Will the lord take the lead, cut the expenditure, and support the ...... of the army? ”

Cao Pi was not happy when he heard this, and said impatiently: "If you ask Gu to cut expenses, you can't bear it, and it's just a matter of a month, and the autumn grain will come down!" ”

Chen Jue said: "Lord, you also know that you can't go without food for a day in the army!" ”

Cao Pi sighed, he had also led soldiers, how could he not know this truth, and said helplessly: "How long can the food in the army last?" ”

"It can last for half a month." Chen Deng said.

"If you can win quickly,......" Cao Pi said this, suddenly remembered something, and said loudly, "Does Li Yi have food?" Although his territory is large, his taxes are pitiful, and he has been fighting on several battlefields for more than half a year this year. Lonely and out of food, he should be running out of food! ”

Chen Deng and his father Chen Qi glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that the population of northern Xinjiang is 40 million, even if everyone's taxes are not much, but the accumulation of armpits into fur is also very terrifying. Moreover, the main source of tax revenue in northern Xinjiang is not agricultural tax, but commercial tax.

However, Cao Pi is the lord after all, and now he has a large army, and they don't dare to contradict it, so they can only say: "Maybe......"

At this time, Chen Jue came up with another idea and said to Cao Pi: "My lord, maybe you can cut some soldiers and horses, and you can support it for a long time!" ”

Cao Pi shook his head, he had more confidence when there were more soldiers.

It's just that in this way, Cao Pi was forced into a desperate situation, after all, if there was no food supply army, it would inevitably be disbanded, and the defense line would have to shrink. However, as a result, he had no land to provide logistical support, and he was left with a city, which could not be held for a long time.

At this time, a personal guard officer entered the temple and said, "My lord, the front line has sent a messenger from the Northern Xinjiang Army, and I want to meet my lord!" ”

Cao Pi didn't want to see it, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and ordered, "Messenger?!" Let him come in and see me! ”

Not long after, the envoy of the Northern Xinjiang Army came in.

"When you see His Royal Highness the King of Wei, why don't you worship!" The left and right janissaries threatened.

The envoy of the Northern Xinjiang Army was very young, and after listening to the intimidation of the guards, he only bowed his hand slightly politely, and said, "Here is a letter from my lord Tang Gong." ”

Cao Pi motioned for the waiter to fetch it, and when he took the letter, he waved his hand lightly and said, "Your mission has been achieved, come on, pull it out and cut it!" ”

The left and right guards immediately pounced.

"Get out of here!" The Northern Frontier envoy smiled coldly, not afraid, but repelled the guards, turned around and walked out.

Seeing this, Chen Jue sweated on his head, and immediately said: "Lord, if the two armies do not fight, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by the world!" ”

Cao Pi had just read the general content of the letter at this moment, and immediately exclaimed: "Wait, bring him back!" ”

It turned out that Li Yi said in the letter: Cao Pi's nephew, your father Cao Cao and I also fought side by side against the Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield in Jizhou. Although we have fought many times on the battlefield over the years, I still respect him a lot. Now that he is my captive, I am not going to use him to threaten you to surrender. But now I'm running out of food, and I don't think I'm running out of food for you. I ask you to cross the river for a decisive battle, and I guess you won't dare to come. How about your army retreat thirty miles, and I lead my army across the river to fight you in a decisive battle?

Cao Pi was ecstatic in his heart, but his face remained silent, and he said to the returning messenger: "Thirty miles? Li Yi is a lion with a big mouth, if he is really sincere, how about ten miles? You bring this message back and say Lone is waiting for his reply! ”

"Farewell!" When the envoy of the Northern Xinjiang Army heard this, he didn't say much, turned around and left.

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly asked, "Lord, what thirty miles, ten miles?" ”

Cao Pi handed them Li Yi's letter.

After reading the letter, Xiahou Yuan was shocked, he knew very well the current situation of his army, although there were 500,000 people, but compared with the elite Northern Xinjiang Army, it was just a rabble, and he had no ability to fight head-to-head at all, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "Lord, Li Yi's tiger and wolf generation, you must not fight a decisive battle with it, you should sit in Huaishui and defend according to the river!" ”

Chen Deng was anxious when he heard this, because he took into account the problem of food, and said in his heart that if the grain and grass run out in the future, I will not be able to raise food, and I will not have to click. He immediately said: "My lord, what General Xiahou said is too conservative. The art of war is cloudy, the enemy crosses the river, and half-crosses it, and it will win a complete victory! ”

Cao Pi also thought about it in this way, and the half-crossing attack was the only way for everyone to win in the ancient art of war. In fact, he also pondered in his heart to continue to defend, but if there is no food, Cao Pi cannot ignore this obvious big problem. So he said: "I have made up my mind, and immediately order the front-line generals to prepare." After Li Yi agreed, he retreated the army ten miles. Send a scout horse to closely monitor the river, only to wait for the northern army to cross halfway, my 500,000 troops rushed up, killing him without leaving a piece of armor! ”

50,000 people, killing the 100,000 Northern Xinjiang army in Bandu, it sounds like a very good idea, so Xiahou Yuan no longer persuaded anything.

………………

In the city of Xia Cai on the north bank of Huaishui, the big tent of the army in the Northern Xinjiang Army.

The envoy returned and reported: "Lord, Cao Pi only promised to retreat ten miles!" ”

Li Yi nodded and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, then Cao Pi didn't embarrass you!" ”

The messenger's heart warmed, and he kowtowed: "I wish to go to the soup for the lord." ”

Li Yi waved his hand to let the envoy go down to rest, and then said to Xu Maogong and the others: "Several military advisors, Cao Pi only promised to retreat ten miles!" ”

Liu Bowen smiled and said, "Lord, there is no difference between ten miles and thirty miles, but if Cao's army needs to retreat comprehensively, our army will have the opportunity to create chaos." ”

Li Yi sent a letter to Cao Pi again and agreed to his request. It was agreed that in the afternoon of the coming day, Cao's army would retreat, and the northern Xinjiang army would cross the river. After the formation, the two sides fought a decisive battle.

Cao Pixin said that if he didn't wait for you to cross the river, he would kill a piece of armor without leaving a piece of armor, half of it was killed on the beach, and half of it was killed in the river.

He was overjoyed, and thought that he had a plan, and this time not only did he not kill the messenger, but he also rewarded him with many things.

That night, Li Yi sent the elite soldiers in the army, changed into the clothes of the people, and quietly crossed the river at night. Although the Cao army was huge, after all, it was all a temporary recruit of ordinary people, very lacking in training, and the management was very chaotic, so the Northern Xinjiang Army team was able to easily blend into the large camps everywhere.
