Chapter 403: Counterattack

Thanks to the Jyson brothers for a monthly ticket, thank you to the king for adding a little brother reward!

Above the court, the civil and military officials sat opposite each other, and they could all clearly see that the people opposite each other had a flash of relaxation and joy on their faces.

Don't look at the Wei State to pick five, the common people, merchants, hawkers and soldiers have no sense of tension and crisis, but for the princes above the court, they are all worried every day.

The people and soldiers were not worried, it was because the Wei State was almost victorious in a hundred battles in the past, and it was because Cao Cao led the Wei army to the Beiping barbarians, and the power brought by the Nanping princes made them not worry that the Great Liang would fall into the flames of war and the Wei State would be defeated.

However, the princes and civil and military officials above the court are very clear that this time is different from the past, the enemies of Wei in the past were only a few people at most, but today it is attacked by several countries, and Wei can be called the enemy of the world.

Even if it was as strong as Qin in the past, even if it had the risk of the three passes, the blessing of Longshan, it was not that the Six-Nation Alliance broke through the Hangu Pass, so the civil and military officials present were worried about bad news along the way from one of the three roads in the past.

At this time, the Wu army was completely annihilated, and the three routes of the soldiers went to one of them, which finally relieved them, and they didn't have to worry about it, one day they would receive the news of the enemy's main beam after all.

After the joy of the news was confirmed, the civil and military officials, even facing Cao Cao, held the jade gui, and shouted loudly: "The ministers are for Your Majesty, for the Great Wei Society!" ”

The voice of the civil and military officials shook the entire Deyang Palace, and Cao Cao on the dragon chair, the smile on the corner of his mouth has not disappeared: "I congratulate you Aiqing, you Aiqing, the Wu army defeated Xuzhou, and the three-way soldiers have gone to one of them, leaving only Guanzhong and Nanyang, next, how should I act in Dawei, I don't know what you Aiqing think?" ”

"Your Majesty, since the Wu army has been defeated, at this time, according to Weichen, the Xuzhou side should turn from attack to defense, and Nanyang wants to turn defense into attack!"

"Oh, why does Chen Aiqing think this?"

Chen Gong, who was holding the jade gui, stood in the center of the main hall, and looked at Cao Cao who was on the high imperial stairs from afar: "Weichen returned to His Majesty, the 100,000 troops of the Wu army were all destroyed, and in the short term, there was no threat to our Great Wei, at this time, the army of Xuzhou, if it continued to attack, it was easy to arouse the determination of its Wu people to fight to the death, and it would not continue to stimulate the Wu State, Nanyang, Nanyang was the land of Longxing in the previous dynasty, and the pseudo-Han of Jingzhou claimed to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, so it will not give up Nanyang, And the defense will be lost for a long time, only by turning defense into attack, can the Jingzhou puppet Han be able to fight back to Jingzhou, and the successive defeats of Wu and Jingzhou are enough to make the three kingdoms in Guanzhong frightened, and they each collect their troops, and dare not invade our Great Wei again! ”

Chen Gong's reasonable words were agreed by most of the courtiers, after all, in their opinion, what Chen Gong said was very reasonable, if they continued to let Xuzhou go and attack, it would be tantamount to forcing Wu to fight to the death.

In addition, Nanyang is the hometown of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu Emperor, and it can be said that it is the land of Longxing.

Under the balance between the two, Chen Gong's strategy cannot be described as Lao Cheng's strategy for the country, but Cao Cao is unwilling to sit and watch others knock on the door.

Since coming to this era, he has never been the only one who has sent troops to fight others, and no one has ever sent troops to fight him, not to mention, Cao Cao from later generations knows very well that no matter whether a country is strong or not, if it can only be beaten passively, then the country will not last long.

What's more, the crisis is both a danger and an opportunity, this time the crusade of the five countries, although it is very dangerous for the Wei State, but if it survives, it is not an opportunity, at least, in Cao Cao's view at this time, there is such an opportunity in front of him.

"Chen Aiqing's strategy is very good, however, the Five Kingdoms attacked Wei, which is not justified in its name, if it is just defeated and let it withdraw its troops, where is the prestige of my Great Wei State!"

Cao Cao stood up suddenly, the momentum cultivated by staying on the top for a long time made the civil and military officials below all bow their heads and remain silent, for this time the Five Kingdoms attacked Wei, the civil and military officials were not angry, but they couldn't figure out Cao Cao's thoughts, and now Cao Cao said such a thing, obviously he was not ready to defeat the armies of the five countries so simply.

Thinking of this, the civilian officials did not say it, but the military attaché was excited, since ancient times, the battlefield has been the best place for military attaches to seize wealth, status and merit.

Cao Cao, who took in the faces of the civil and military officials, put his eyes on Xun You's body, and said: "The military department is still the book, I immediately order you to issue two orders, one of which is to Xuzhou, order it to pursue by victory, take Shouchun, and drive the forces of Wu to me back to Yangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, and the second order, pass it to Guanzhong, tell them, I will immediately send a general again, lead the army into Guanzhong, Liang and Qin, these two small countries, I did not destroy them in the past, they were not grateful, but added to each other, When the army arrived, it was not only necessary to repel the armies of the Three Kingdoms, but also to pursue the victory and calm Xiliang in one fell swoop! ”

Xun You was stunned for a moment, this is to make a big move, Liang, don't talk about the two countries of Qin, the civil and military officials above the court are very clear in their hearts, although these two countries are known as countries, but what is inside them, everyone knows that if you want to destroy these two countries, it is enough to send a general and lead tens of thousands of troops.

But Shouchun is different, Shouchun is the front line of Wu to the north, if you really want to capture Shouchun, it is equivalent to completely suppressing Wu south of the Yangtze River, which is a little careless, there is a danger of fighting again.

However, Cao Cao's golden mouth has been opened, the order has been given, and Xun You himself also feels aggrieved that he is only beaten and does not fight back, so he did not say anything, but was ordered to retreat.

After Xun You retreated, Cao Cao's eyes were projected on the military attaché, since it was decided to destroy Liang and Qin this time, then the military generals who led the army into the customs should be well chosen, and finally Cao Cao put his eyes on Zhang He's body: "Zhang He listens to the order, I order you to lead the army of 50,000 into the pass, converge with the 100,000 defenders of Chang'an, and eliminate the two countries of Liang and Qin!" ”

Zhang He, who was very nervous when Cao Cao put his eyes on himself, after hearing Cao Cao's order, a flash of joy disappeared, and he bowed and said: "The minister receives the order!" (To be continued.) )
