"Boom!"

Seeing that Shuai Yin was thrown to the ground by the lord, smashed the solid ground out of a shallow pit, and rolled over for a distance, then stopped, all the civil and military forces in Cao Ying were silent, no one dared to look up at Cao Cao, but cast a pity on Li Tong's father and son who knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Lonely treats each other with heart, takes you as the humerus, entrusts you with heavy responsibilities, even if the early battle situation is unfavorable, Lone has never blamed him, Wenda, you say it yourself, are you worthy of me? Ambush, the strength also has the upper hand, and the opponent is not Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other famous Qingzhou generals, how do you command, can you lose so badly! ”

Cao Cao had the mind to grab the ground with his head.

Before the war, he also expected that Qingzhou soldiers were strong and strong, and it was not so easy to deal with, and the war might have to be held apart, or even suppressed for a period of time, before there would be a turnaround. But he never expected that the start would be so unsmooth.

There was an accident in Jingzhou, Liu Biao actually merged with Li Ru and others, and ran to Jiangling to survive, faintly echoing the Qingzhou forces. If it weren't for this accident, the war would not have suddenly broken out in advance - since Liu Biao had made his position, Wang Yu would of course intend to let this nail work, so he had to send troops to contain Cao Cao, and he couldn't let him take all the southern counties as he wished.

Liu Biao is a small trouble, it will involve some attention, but it is harmless, but it is not good for Cao Cao to start the war in advance, he has a lot of pre-war preparations that have not been completed. But there was no way, Wang Yu was killing violently, even if he didn't want to, he had to fight.

I thought that Wang Yu would divide his troops everywhere, and the offensive at the beginning would not be too fierce, so he would have to look at the movements everywhere. Especially the Jianghuai battlefield. Zhangjaw's Xuzhou army was originally small, but it faced a three-way enemy army. It also includes the Jiangdong Army, a strong army, no matter what. Wang Yu should spare some strength and reinforce Xuzhou at any time.

As a result, Gan Ning escorted Pang Degong back to Qingzhou, which triggered the Battle of Niuzhuji, and the Jiangdong Navy suffered heavy losses, and it was directly beaten to the point of losing its temper. Cao Cao regretted it very much, he knew that this was the case, and he would have informed Sun Ce of the information of the bed crossbow in advance.

The reason why he didn't give advance notice was not that Cao Cao planned to pit his teammates, but only after the change in Jingxiang. He and Sun Ce had a very unhappy quarrel over the ownership of Jiangxia, Jiangling and other places.

Sun Ce thought that the Jiangdong Army was the main force to seize Jingzhou, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to pick up the cheap, and he didn't contribute at all, so it was enough for Cao Cao to take Nanyang and Xiangyang, and Jiangxia and the area along the river in Nanjun should belong to Jiangdong.

Of course Cao Cao didn't want to, Jiangxia just left, Jiangling is the elite area of Jingzhou, and I don't know how long this war will last. Guanzhong is broken, Yanzhou has become a battlefield, it must not be counted on, if you don't try to get benefits in Jingzhou. If it becomes a protracted battle, he simply can't hold on.

Fortunately, Liu Biao deceived the corpse, otherwise the negotiation would have been so deadlocked. This is the time to mention the issue of new weapons. It's easy for the Koto people to climb up the pole and ask for countermeasures. And then begged for some new weapons to go.

Cao Cao's new weapons were also made in a hurry, where could he easily give them to others? He had thought that his side was the main battlefield. Wang Yu will concentrate the new weapons on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and will not be the first to attack Jiangdong, even if Sun Ce is unlucky and suffers a little, it will save this junior from being too arrogant.

But he never expected that Wang Yu actually dispatched the navy into the Yangtze River and unexpectedly gave Sun Ce a heavy blow.

The collapse of the 2,000 naval army was not a blow to the Jiangdong army, but the existence of this navy obviously made Sun Ce have some scruples, so that he did not dare to cross the river for a long time.

Cao Cao wasn't sure if Sun Ce would have a grudge and deliberately delay the crossing of the river as revenge, anyway, the result was that Wang Yu had no scruples and directly launched the whole army south, and he wanted to cut off his army at the waist with great momentum, and then attack them separately.

It can be seen from the march route of the Qingzhou army that Wang Yu just wanted to take Junyi and Kaifeng first, divide his troops to build a defensive line in situ, block the Cao army in Luoyang, concentrate on dealing with Chen Liu's side, and break them respectively.

It is a flaw to deploy the army in Xingyang and Chenliu respectively, but Cao Cao can't help it, there are too many cavalry in Qingzhou, and it is too strong, if he does not deploy it like this, it is easy for Wang Yu to find a flaw and attack the rear in a roundabout way.

The solution is not nothing, as long as the two armies are assembled in advance and establish positions in Suozao and Kuangcheng. But the consequence of that is a main battle.

Not to mention whether he is sure to win this battle, the key question is that he has a group of powerful allies to help, so why gamble?

Especially at this time, if Wang Yu loses, he can give up Yanzhou, retreat to Hebei, mobilize militia, and refuse to defend. But if Cao Cao is defeated, it will be a complete rout, and the little strength retained in the rear is not worth mentioning at all in front of the swept Qingzhou Iron Cavalry, and it will be blown up in the blink of an eye.

The center of the anti-Qingzhou alliance is Cao Cao, if he collapses, Sun Ce and Ma Teng are too far away, and it will be difficult to get in touch, let alone echo each other, and they will only be broken by each other.

Therefore, the strategy that made Wang Yu and the Qingzhou staff puzzled was actually Cao Cao's strategy to delay the army, he didn't want to drag it out for a year and a half, but just wanted to wait for Sun Ce to quickly figure it out, and the army crossed the river to the north and fought with the Xuzhou army to share the pressure.

In addition, if it can be delayed until the spring to carry out a large-scale campaign, it can also eliminate the threat of the Qingzhou militia to the greatest extent, no matter how elite the militia is, it is also a militia, and it will definitely not be able to assemble during the busy agricultural season.

If you want to achieve this goal, there are only two ways, one is to divide your troops in various dangerous passes, and let the enemy attack one by one, so as to consume the opponent's sharpness and time, but Yanzhou is a flat place, where is there any terrain to use? Thinking about it, Cao Cao could only take the initiative to launch a cavalry battle.

The cavalry can maneuver in a large area, even if the Qingzhou side mobilizes the main force to pursue, it will not be able to catch up, which is the most suitable for containment along the way and buy time for the overall battle situation.

Of course, Cao Cao knew that the cavalry in Qingzhou was stronger, but he had been training for so long, and he didn't feel that the gap between the tigers and leopards was too big, even after learning that the battle situation ahead was unfavorable, he was very calm. I was mentally prepared to bear certain losses.

As the Qingzhou army invested more and more strength, the losses of the tiger and leopard cavalry became more and more unbearable for Cao Cao.

In order to reverse the decline. Not only had he been adjusting his tactics, but he had also carefully planned such an ambush battle. I was hoping to bring the scene back, but it turned out to be a fiasco, with more than four hundred casualties in the First World War! How could he not be angry?

In a battle of 100,000 people, 400 cavalry was insignificant, but the significance of this was extraordinary. Eight hundred leopard horsemen ambushed five hundred winds, but the result was a big defeat and loss, with a loss of nearly a hundred! What does this mean? If the size of the two teams participating in the battle is increased tenfold, and the result is the same, doesn't that mean that the tiger and leopard are vulnerable in front of the wind and fire cavalry?

The only thing to be thankful for is. In this battle, he did not use Guanzhong to surrender the army, after all, the military spirit of his descendants is more stable, even if it is defeated, it will not be shaken. But if the army is surrendered, it will be troublesome, it is a group of people who have been bitten by snakes and suffered losses, once they recall the painful memories of their time in Luoyang, the entire army may be demoralized, or even collapse.

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more angry he became. Seeing that Li Tong was even more annoyed, he waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Come on, ......" and planned to let people drag this waste out and cut it. What Jiang Ru Haojie? I'm so blind!

"The Lord is angry!" Xun Yu saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly pleaded: "Now the war is coming." It is the time to employ people, and it is not a good omen to kill the general! ”

Cao Yingzhong will be like a cloud. It's nothing to die a Li Tong. The problem is that Li Tong's identity is not ordinary. He led the crowd to vote, and his family had a great influence in the Jiangru area. If you just kill it. It is likely to cause turmoil in the hearts of the people in Runan, and there will be no chaos, but the wealthy families who will come to defect will definitely become very few.

Xun Yu is in Cao Jun, almost equivalent to Tian Feng's status in Qingzhou, pure military affairs, he rarely intervenes, but in terms of government affairs and personnel, he is faintly the head of the ministers, as soon as he speaks, others naturally can't stand and watch the play, Cheng Yu, Man Zhong and others came out one after another, and echoed in unison: "Please think twice!" ”

Of course, Cao Cao knew that killing Li Tong would cause adverse consequences, but he really couldn't swallow this evil breath, and the impact of this defeat was very great, which made his act of provoking a cavalry battle shrouded in a layer of mantis arms to block the car.

But the ministers couldn't help but give face, he didn't speak with a blushing face, and Xun Yu and the others couldn't say it anymore, but for a while, the scene was frozen.

"This defeat is not necessarily a bad thing......

At this moment, someone spoke so amazingly that even Li Tong, who was kneeling on the ground and his heart was like ashes, looked up, wondering which stunned young man was making a big fuss, planning to go to Huangquan with him and go on the road together? As a result, he was stunned, it was the military advisor Guo Jia who spoke, and it was impossible to describe a person who was stunned.

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." As soon as he heard this, Cao Cao immediately changed color, but when he saw Guo Jia, he still tried his best to suppress his anger, but the abrupt meaning in his tone was not disguised.

Guo Jia replied calmly: "The lord may wish to record the history of the war to this day in detail, and send it to Xihe and Wanling in duplicate, and see how the two generals Ma and Sun judge." General Ma is thoughtful, and General Sun is brave and unparalleled, and he will not disappoint the lord. ”

"It makes sense to be filial piety." Cao Cao bowed slightly, and the staff members also looked at each other, and they all saw a look of appreciation in the eyes of their companions.

The people in charge of the two allied forces are not short-sighted people, and they will not know the truth of cold lips and teeth, as long as they see this letter, they will understand what kind of tense situation is on the Yanzhou side. Even if Sun Ce still has grievances, it is impossible to ignore the overall situation.

Of course, it was embarrassing to do so, but back then, Han Xin was still able to suffer the humiliation of his crotch, and the lord was a generation of heroes, how could he be entangled in this little section? That's not all, Guo Jia also counted the personalities of Sun Ce and Ma Teng.

Ma Teng didn't start it for a long time because after seeing Qingzhou's strength, he was worried that he would lose too much, and waited for Cao Cao to attract Wang Yu's firepower. And Sun Ce was reluctant to go north, on the one hand, because he was worried about the sea ships in Qingzhou, and on the other hand, because he had suffered a defeat, he felt embarrassed and sulked.

Now that Cao Cao has exposed his ugliness, it can be regarded as an apology for changing direction, and a smart person like Zhou Yu will definitely use this as an explanation to eliminate the mustard in Sun Ce's heart. When the two major battlefields of Bingzhou and Jianghuai are launched, the pressure on their side will naturally be sharply reduced, and then the main decisive battle will not be so risky.

The lord will definitely still be unhappy in his heart, after all, he has been carefully trained, and as a-for-tat killer - the tiger and leopard ride, he is far from meeting his expectations, and he still failed to find an effective way to restrain the Qingzhou iron horse. But no matter how many cavalry there are in Qingzhou, there are more than 10,000 people, can they play a decisive role in this kind of war that swept the world and the number of participants was as high as one million?

As long as the battle is finally won, are you afraid that the historian will not be able to whitewash today's embarrassment? Is this a deception, a lure to the enemy, just a small price to pay for the final victory!

Of course, these words can't be spread out, but Cao Ying's staff are also famous and wise people, so what is it difficult to comfort the lord in a suggestive way? For a while, everyone said a lot, and those who didn't know thought that this battle was won, not a big defeat.

"That's fine." Of course, Cao Cao will not be said to be confused so simply, but what he needs is to have a step down so that his face will not be too ugly: "As for Wenda, you ...... The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, pull it down and beat twenty military sticks, with the law in our army, can you be convinced? ”

Li Tong fell to the ground and cried, and swore that he said: "The lord is magnanimous, and the last general is ashamed and landless, and he is grateful, and he will swear to repay the lord in the future, so as to repay the lord and the lord!" (To be continued......)
