Gangneung, the city lord's mansion.

Since returning from the port, Cao Cao has been in a state of excitement.

The war must be fought again, and the crux of the matter now is how to fight this battle.

Cao Cao summoned Cheng Yu and Jia Xu to discuss the details, and Ouyang Shuo, as a representative of the aliens, was able to attend. The special role of the ocean-going fleet is destined for Ouyang Shuo to have a great say.

Seeing that Cao Cao was too excited, Ouyang Shuo had to splash cold water, "Prime Minister, allow me to introduce to you the situation of the Inhuman Legion on both sides of the enemy." ”

"Speak!" For the Inhuman Army, Cao Cao no longer dared to be contemptuous.

"In this campaign, our Inhuman Legion has a total of 270,000, and excluding the Water Division, it is less than 250,000. The Inhuman Legion in the enemy camp has a total of 350,000, and it is not excluded that the other side also has a sailor. ”

"Such a big difference?" Cao Cao frowned.

Ouyang Shuo nodded.

After the burning of Chibi, the remnants of the Cao army that fled back were around 100,000, plus the 30,000 troops left by Cao Ren in Jiangling City, the total strength of the Cao army was now around 130,000.

At the same time, the Sun-Liu alliance was divided into three ways.

Liu Bei led an army of 20,000 against the Xiang River and attacked Linxiang, the administrative office of Changsha. Huang Gai's sailors, there should be less than 10,000 people, after entering Dongting Lake, they turned into the Yuan River

Therefore, Zhou Yu's army, which really pursued Cao's army by land and water, was only about 20,000.

In such a comparison, the inadequacy of the Inhuman Legion in Cao Cao's camp seems to be a little insignificant, and the total strength of the two camps is still comparable.

The problem is that, in addition to the strength of troops, the most important thing is morale.

Cao's army was defeated, its morale fell to the bottom, and it would have no will to fight, and the soldiers would have no will to fight. In this way, there was a large army in history, but it was pursued all the way by Zhou Yu.

In the end, Cao Cao didn't even stay in Jiangling for long, and directly led his troops back to the north. A year later, Jiangling, which was guarded by Cao Ren, was broken by Zhou Yu's army.

It can be seen that Cao Cao's 130,000 army is difficult to come in handy in a short period of time. On the contrary, the army pursued by Zhou Yu was as imposing as a rainbow and sharp.

The morale of the Aboriginal army will also affect the morale of the Inhuman Legion.

The lords of Cao Cao's camp had long been unwilling to report their expectations for the battle, and their slackness was clear at a glance. On the contrary, the Inhuman Legion of Sun Liu's camp must want to take advantage of the situation and win in one fell swoop.

In this way, the judgment is made.

Even with the ocean-going fleet to rely on, Cao's army is still not optimistic.

In addition to this, there is another point that must be taken into account. The Battle of Chibi was a great victory, and Sun Quan, who was sitting in the rear, got the news, would he lead a large army to the front line for reinforcements?

Even if it doesn't, Ouyang Shuo believes that Di Chen and the others will find a way to persuade Sun Quan to increase his troops.

In this way, the situation is even more unfavorable.

The Battle of Chibi is by no means just a water battle, and the confrontation of the army is the mainstream.

……

"How does the enemy's sailors compare to your fleet?" Cao Cao asked again.

Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, among the powerful sailors in the enemy army, I am afraid that there are only three people: Xiongba, Wolf Warrior and Dragon Hunting Point. Their warships were sold by Shanhai City.

As for artillery, only the Dragon Finder obtained more than thirty pieces from Shanhai City.

Whether Xiongba and Wolf Warrior have mastered the technology of artillery manufacturing, Ouyang Shuo does not know. Because the technical manual of the same technology in the game, although it is not rotten, it is not the only one.

Theoretically, they also have the opportunity to acquire artillery manufacturing technology from other sources.

Gaia also stipulates that if a country has more than five territories that master a certain technology, the technology will be freely available to the lords of the entire country.

For example, if Ouyang Shuo delegates the steam engine manufacturing technology to Lingxi City, Luofeng City, Rock City, and Black Lion City one by one, the lords of the entire China region will automatically master the technology.

That's why, not long after the development of the steam engine at Fort Ivek, the whole country entered the period of the Industrial Revolution.

"The battleships are comparable, and the firearms are slightly inferior." Ouyang Shuo replied to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows jumped, "Wenhe, tell me your opinion." ”

Jia Xu didn't say anything during the whole process, until he was named by Cao Cao, and then he got up and said: "Lord, my opinion is that the waterway is the main attack, and the land route is the main defense." ”

"Be specific."

"The sailor is in full swing, it is advisable to go up the river and take the initiative to meet Zhou Yu's sailor, and it is best to defeat it in one fell swoop. If possible, it would be better to reoccupy Chibi. Jia Xu is worthy of being Jia Xu, with clear thinking, "In this way, one can re-boost the morale of our army through a big victory and sweep away the current sluggish trend." Second, Chibi can also be used as a node to cut off the Sun-Liu coalition army. ”

"Occupying Chibi can not only cut off Sun Quan's follow-up reinforcements, but also cut off the grain and grass materials of Zhou Yu's army in one fell swoop. Only in this way can our army fight to the death with the main army led by Zhou Yu in the Yunmengze area. ”

Jia Xu paused for a moment, let you digest it, and then said: "After talking about the waterway, the land route is easy to understand. Before the naval division occupies Chibi, it is better for the main force of our army to stay in the city of Gangneung to rest and defend the city. An army can take this opportunity to recuperate and heal their wounds. The second can also take this opportunity to dispatch defenders from all over Jingzhou to aid Jiangling City. The most important thing is to take advantage of this time to replenish grain and grass materials. ”

In the Battle of Chibi, Cao's army took Chibi as its base camp, and the main grain and grass materials were transported to Chibi. As a result, a fire burned the grain and grass to the ground.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it could not be compared to the wilderness of the main plane.

Every year there are wars, and the people are miserable and displaced. In addition, a large number of young and middle-aged people were conscripted into the army, and the villages were scarce in terms of men, and large tracts of land were barren and uncultivated.

Therefore, for the army, grain and grass are even more precious.

If you want to raise food and grass for the First World War, you have to work hard in the rear for more than half a year. It is precisely because of this that Xiahoudun, Zhong Xuan and other ministers who guarded the rear were also the heroes behind the war.

In addition, it is already the middle of winter, and there is only a little winter ration left in the people's homes. If you want to collect grain and grass again, it will naturally be more difficult.

Historically, Cao Cao chose to withdraw his troops, not without reason.

Jia Xu's analysis can be said to be to the point, and every word is fine. Ouyang Shuo listened, and the light in his eyes flickered. Undoubtedly, a strategist like Jia Xu is the most lacking talent around Ouyang Shuo.

"If you really don't comply, you can't say that you have to tie it up directly." Ouyang Shuo already had a "bad thought" in his heart.

Cao Cao didn't say anything directly, turned his head to look at Cheng Yu, and asked, "Zhongde, what do you think?" ”

Cheng Yu is one of the five strategists under Cao Cao's account, and after Guo Jia's death, he was the first strategist in Cao Cao's camp. At the same time, Cheng Yu is also the only one among the five strategists who has the ability to lead troops to fight.

Speaking of which, there is one more allusion. In history, after Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi, he once cried and said: "If filial piety is here, I will not make Lone have such a big loss!" ”

Some people interpret it in this way, saying that Cao Cao was dissatisfied with Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and other strategists.

This is not the case.

A careful look at the historical materials will show that the strategists of Cao Cao's camp in the Battle of Chibi were not derelict in their duties. Jia Xu suggested that we should not advance lightly, and we should give priority to stabilizing the hearts of the people in Jingzhou.

As a result, Cao Cao did not listen, was eager to dominate the world, and rashly sent troops.

Cheng Yu also anticipated the Sun-Liu alliance for a long time, and said: "Sun Quan's new reign has not yet been feared by the sea. And Cao Gong is invincible in the world, the first time to raise Jingzhou, the shock of the river; Although Sun Quan is strategic, he cannot resist alone. Liu Bei is famous, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all enemies of 10,000 people, and Sun Quan will definitely assist them to defend against our army. ”

In retrospect, it was indeed in one sentence. If Cao Cao was willing to listen to Cheng Yu's words and take precautions, he would not have been caught off guard by Zhou Yu in Chibi.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand Cao Cao's current approach, and when it comes to deciding the success or failure of the hegemony, Cao Cao still habitually consults Cheng Yu and Jia Xu's suggestions.

When Ouyang Shuo saw it, he was a little ashamed, his approach in Shanhai City was much more domineering than Cao Cao's.

Cheng Yu had to ask, didn't dare to slack off, got up and replied: "Lord, I basically agree with Wenhe's judgment. It's just one point, there is Zhou Yu in the enemy formation, and Zhuge Liang is behind him. In addition, the other party is familiar with our situation, and if they are afraid, they will make some targeted arrangements for the ocean-going fleet. ”

"What Zhongde said makes sense, so how should we deal with it?" Cao Cao didn't have a cowardice, he was a hero, and since he had made a decision, he would not change it easily, but thought about how to achieve his goal.

"My advice is, play fast and slow." Cheng Yu explained, "Even if the other party is on guard, it will never be imagined that we will not make any repairs, without a trace of hesitation, and attack decisively." In this way, we can take the enemy army by surprise before they are fully prepared. ”

"That's a brilliant plan!"

Cao Cao's voice is very magnetic, holding his beard with his hands, and his bearing is calm. is even more smiling, making it impossible to perceive his true thoughts, what a generation of heroes.

Ouyang Shuo saw it, and at this time, he only had envy.

When will he be able to gather such a group of top strategists under his account?

"Prime Minister!" Envy is envy, Ouyang Shuo has always done things very simply, and took the initiative to ask for battle, "I am willing to lead the ocean-going fleet and set off immediately to take Chibi in one fell swoop!" ”

Considering that he might encounter some people in the enemy army, the ocean-going fleet attacked, and Ouyang Shuo had to go out in person. Otherwise, in the face of strangers, Zheng He is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with such a complicated situation.

Ouyang Shuo also wanted to meet the sailors of Sun Liu's camp for a while.

The Shanhai City Ocean Fleet should also take advantage of this water battle to justify its name.

"Good!" Cao Cao laughed, his voice hearty, "I hope the fleet you lead can be victorious." ”

"No!"

Ouyang Shuo solemnly promised.

Next, it is necessary to discuss the specific details of the operation. In addition to that, there is the placement of the Inhuman Legion. After all, Ouyang Shuo is not in Jiangling, so he must make arrangements as soon as possible.

The Battle of Chibi will be reopened with the confrontation between the sailors.

The real war has just begun!
