Chapter 558: Light Soldiers!

After the two of them left the camp, Cao Cao said with some irritation: "I can't imagine that the Jingzhou Water Master is so unusable!" If it weren't for them, maybe I would have led a large army across the river and approached Jianye City! ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Cai Hat and Zhang Yun were just busy intriguing to eliminate dissidents before, and the training of Jingzhou sailors was abandoned!" Otherwise, our army would not have been able to cross the Yangtze River so easily in the past, and then go south to the four counties of Changsha."

This seems to be destroying his own prestige, at this time only Guo Jia dared to say this, although Cao Cao listened to it uncomfortable, but he could not admit that Guo Jia was right, if the original Jingzhou sailor was as good at fighting as the Wu State sailor, the Wei army at this time might still be north of the Yangtze River, looking at the Yangtze River in a daze.

Exhaled, Cao Cao nodded, and then asked Guo Jiadao with some concern: "Fengxiao, let these two train water masters, will they?"

Guo Jia replied with certainty: "Your Majesty can rest assured! Never like that! Although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are villains, they are not stupid people, they know that they can only rely on their skills to gain appreciation and high positions under His Majesty's account, so they will definitely not do anything that His Majesty does not want to see, and these two people are indeed proficient in the way of water warfare, and they are also quite successful in training sailors and soldiers! ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Hearing Feng Xiao say this, I am relieved!" ”

"Your Majesty has won the prize!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thought that he could bypass Chibi with a light army and cross the Yangtze River directly!" Guo Jia's eyes rolled, and he suddenly suggested.

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he couldn't wait to ask, "What is Fengxiao's plan?" ”

Guo Jia walked to the sand table and pointed in the direction of Yiling and said: "Our army can send a section to cross the Yangtze River from here, and then enter Changsha eastward, Changsha is under Chaisang, if our army reaches here smoothly." Then the defense line of the naval division of the Wu State will be self-defeating! ”

Cao Cao hurriedly walked to the edge of the sand table, looked at the situation of the enemy and the enemy displayed on the sand table, thought about Guo Jia's plan in his mind, slapped his hands suddenly, and said excitedly: "Feng Xiao's plan is very wonderful!" ”

Then he frowned: "It's just"

Guo Jia hurriedly asked, "What did Your Majesty think of?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Nothing! I just thought of something else! ”

What Cao Cao almost said just now was, 'But why did Emperor Wei Wu of History, like a fool, want to cross the Yangtze River from Chibi? ’

Fortunately, Cao Cao stopped in time, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to justify himself. At the same time, it is very likely that Guo Jia thinks that he has some disease.

As for why Cao Cao, who is above history, must go south from Chibi, maybe because he underestimated the enemy, his self-confidence was inflated, and he thought that the overall situation had been decided, or maybe he was afraid that the back road would be copied, of course, in Cao Cao's mind, it was more likely that the battle situation was different from that time and this time!

At that time, the Wei Navy Division only had the Jingzhou Navy Division that came with Jingzhou when it surrendered, and as for the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Navy Division, it could really only be a smile.

In that environment. Let the Jingzhou sailors drag Wu and attack from the direction of Changsha with light troops, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to adopt them, not to mention, Cao Cao at that time did not drag almost all of Wu's sailors as he is now.

Cao Cao looked at the sand table and thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Guo Jia's suggestion was feasible. The main force of the Wu State Naval Division has been pinned down in the direction of the Hengjiang River, and the Wu State Naval Division here has only more than 10,000 people and five or six hundred warships. The defense of this stretch of the river was already stretched, and it was impossible to divide the troops to other places.

Looking at it this way, Cao Cao agrees more with the guess in his heart just now, which may be different from Cao Cao in later history.

Cao Cao asked Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, how much army do you think should be sent?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Chibi must leave enough troops for the main attack in the future, so Weichen thinks it is appropriate to send a legion!" ”

Cao Cao nodded. Glancing at the generals, the generals led by Ma Chao and Tai Shici immediately hugged their fists together and asked: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army to take on this important task!" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "The generals are loyal and brave, and I am very relieved!" ”

Cao Cao looked at the generals kneeling in front of him with fierce fighting intent in their eyes. I couldn't help but hesitate.

Ma Chao, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, etc. are all generals who can take charge of themselves, but is it more appropriate to send their followers to take on this important task?

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's hesitation, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that those who can take on this person must first be calm enough!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and thought to himself: In this way, the most suitable person for this position should be Zhao Yun! But Zhao Yun is now in the Hengjiang camp!

Cao Cao thought for a moment, his eyes fell on Tai Shici's body, and he raised his voice: "Ziyi, I order you to lead the Fifth Army to Yiling to cross the river immediately, and then go east to Changsha!" ”

Tai Shici was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and promised loudly.

Cao Cao smiled: "Get up!" ”

He immediately said to Guo Jia: "Immediately order the counties below Jingzhou to collect civilian ships, and let Jingzhou transfer heavy materials to Yiling according to the scale of 50,000 people." ”

"Weichen Command!" Guo Jia saluted!

Around the same time, a mysterious person appeared in the Yizhou Palace.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you think?" The mystery man asked.

At this moment, there are three people in the hall here, namely Liu Zhang, the emperor of Shu Han, and his henchman Yan Yan, and the other is Prime Minister Zhang Song, and this mysterious person is none other than Liu Qi's confidant and strategist, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Jing Han, I didn't expect him to go to Yizhou in person.

Liu Zhang said with some embarrassment: "I am also willing to do my best to fight the Northern Expedition against the puppet emperor!" It's just that Zhang Lu, a shameless villain, has been self-reliant in Hanzhong, and the barbarians in the south have been harassed by Koubian from time to time, I am really powerless! ”

Liu Zhang's remarks are obviously a complete excuse, Zhang Lu doesn't know how long ago it happened to Hanzhong, this sect leader, although he has divided Hanzhong, but it is not because he has the intention of dominating the world, but he doesn't look down on Liu Zhang, plus Liu Zhang seems to want to attack his own Heavenly Master Dao some time ago, so he completely divided Hanzhong, of course, although so, but Zhang Lu still belongs to Liu Zhang's command in name, in addition to not appointing officials, the army can still be transferred or something, That's pretty weird.

As for the Southern Barbarians, this is true, but the barbarians at this time, in the face of Huaxia, which has re-fallen into the world of great disputes, the barbarians of this era are really constantly being beaten and bullied, so the border troubles at this time, except for the unification period of the northern grasslands, at other times, are not at all like the great disasters of later generations, but those chiefs can't think of looking for death.
