Chapter 687: First Confrontation (2)

Thank you for the tip!

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment: "What does Wen Ruo mean?" ”

Xun Yu said: "According to the current situation, if you want to thwart the attempts of Guishan and Wusun, you must increase your troops!" ”

Cao Cao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, stopped, and frowned: "But if we do this, we will not be able to take an offensive against the state of Wu according to the original plan!" ”

Xun Yu said: "According to the current situation, we can't do both at all, not to mention that the risk of fighting on two fronts is very high, and in addition, it is not a good thing to give up attacking Wu for the time being!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao asked puzzled.

Xun Yu showed an unfathomable smile: "Your Majesty, although the land area of Wu is vast, the population is very thin, food and money are very insufficient, and the army under Sun Jian is so huge!" If this continues, Sun Jian won't be able to last long! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but nod and motioned for Xun Yu to continue.

"Sun Jian must know this, but he can't reduce the army in the face of the pressure of our army, that is, Sun Jian can't solve the current predicament! As long as you wait for a while, Wu Guo will definitely undergo drastic changes because of being overwhelmed! ”

"How long?" Cao Cao asked.

"It only takes about half a year to see the clues!" Xun Yu replied affirmatively.

Cao Cao returned to the main seat and sat down, pondered for a moment, and finally decided: "Then cancel the plan to attack Wu after the wheat harvest, order the second, third, fourth, fifth, Xianbei regiments, sailors and local troops along the river to be on strict alert, order the Jinyi Guard to strengthen the penetration, and order the 50,000 people of the Seventh Army to immediately drive to the Western Regions." Order Ma Chao to lead the Wuhuan Legion to the Western Regions immediately, and make every effort to support the fine line in logistics! ”

Heard Cao Cao's order. Xun Yu and the two saluted together: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Immediately, the two left the Qianqing Palace.

Cao Cao let out a long sigh, secretly resenting Guishuang's nothingness in his heart. But the real world is like this, when the Wei soldiers arrive at the border of the Western Regions, they will inevitably clash with the Central Asian powers like the Tang Dynasty in later generations, not like the game, when you dominate the world, sort out the internal affairs, and practice to the full level before you open a new map.

Not long after Xun Yu and the others retreated, Cao Cao's personal female officer Cui Yingying came in with a cup of ginseng tea.

"Your Majesty, please use tea!" Cui Yingying said softly.

Cao Cao smiled at Cui Yingying. Cui Yingying couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly lowered her head and stepped aside.

Cao Cao took a sip of ginseng tea, sounded something, and said, "Yingying, you go and call General Gao Shun to me!" ”

Cao Cao's title does seem a little warm, but Cao Cao doesn't mean anything else, he just thinks it's easy to call it, and there are some memories of later generations. However, other people don't think so, it is because of Cao Cao's casual title that Cui Yingying's status in the minds of civil and military officials and palace maids has undergone subtle changes.

Cui Yingying promised and saluted. stepped back with broken steps.

More than 600 miles west of the Green Ridge Fortress, in a basin surrounded by mountains, there is a large fortress.

Known as the Ruti Fortress, the fortress was the most important military fortress in the northeastern part of the Kushan Empire and was the core of its northeastern defensive line. The scale is very large, but it is especially inferior to the Green Ridge Fortress. Able to support the needs of the garrison of 150,000 troops, in addition. The large warehouse inside it is perennially stored with grain and grass for a year for 300,000 troops, as well as a large number of armor and ordnance.

In the center of the Luti Fortress is the location of the Luti Fortress, and the governor of the fortress appointed by the King of Kushan will work here, but at this time, it is not the head of the fortress who sits in the position of the governor, but the general of the Kushan Empire, Yue Kefeng, this person is a member of the Kushan royal family, and the official position is the general of Beizhen, which is one of the highest military positions, in the country of Guishan, there are four highest military positions, namely the general of Xizhen, the general of Dongzhen, the general of Nanzhen, and the last one is Yue Kefeng, the general of Beizhen.

These four generals controlled three-quarters of the country's army, and the other quarter was directly controlled by the king.

At this time, the reigning king of Kushan was Vesudeva I, the king who had just ascended the throne, not only changed the scene of the continuous weakening of Kushan during the reign of Huvisega II, but also defeated the rest and re-entered the Western Regions, showing his fangs to Kangju and other western countries in the Western Regions that had just escaped from the control of Kushan, so that Guishan actually had a hint of re-prosperity.

"General, there is an urgent military situation of the Han people!" The head of the fortress hurried to the lobby of the governance office to report that Yue Kefeng was assigning tasks to his generals at the moment.

Yue Kefeng asked calmly, "What's the situation?" ”

"According to our detailed report on the Han people's Green Ridge Fortress, the Han people have sent an additional army to the Green Ridge Fortress!"

Yue Kefeng frowned slightly. All the generals present couldn't help but whisper.

"How many? Who is the leader? Yue Kefeng asked.

"It should be less than 120,000 people, and the leading general is Ma Teng, the descendant of Ma Yuan, a very famous Fubo general among the Han people!"

Yue Kefeng couldn't help but light up with a tiger's eyes, and said with some excitement: "I have long heard that General Fubo of the Han people is a famous general of a generation, and this Ma Teng is the follower, so it shouldn't be bad!" I want to see! ”

"General, now that the enemy situation has changed somewhat, do you want to change the deployment of our army?" A thin, eye-eyed general asked.

This person's name is Chipping Stone, he is the most cautious general under Yue Kefeng's eagle, and he can be regarded as Yue Kefeng's right-hand man, who has made countless military exploits, and everyone can't help but look at Yue Kefeng and wait for his decision.

Yue Kefeng thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "The strength of the Wei army is just a legend, the battle between it and Wusun that day is not enough to rely on, Wusun is just some arrogant rice buckets, in my eyes, the Wei army has a false name, and it is not enough to compete with our army: and our army is all the elite of a hundred battles." If we don't fight, once we do, we will definitely let the Han people know our interests! What's more, the enemy's current army in the Green Ridge Fortress is only about 120,000, and their purpose should be to ensure the safety of the Western Regions! Our army simply does not have to change its plans because of this. ”

Yue Kefeng glanced at the generals under the hall with a serious expression, and when the generals saw this, they knew that Yue Kefeng was about to give an order, and the generals couldn't help but stop their waists.

"Kui Yang and Okai, you two must launch a frontal attack on Kangju within three days with my 100,000 elite and 100,000 rest servant troops, and 100,000 tribal coalition troops, for a total of 300,000 troops."

The 100,000 servant army of Anxi arrived a few days ago, and Cao Cao's side did not know about this situation, this servant army was an army formed by the people of the former eastern province of Anxi conquered by Northern Guishan and the army of surrender, and its combat effectiveness was only afraid that it was not much stronger, almost the same as the army composed of millions of people who revolted in the Central Plains Dynasty, and it was completely cannon fodder or even inferior.

Kui Yang and Okai took the arrow from Yue Kefeng's hand and retreated. (To be continued.) )
