After all the military ministers present looked at each other, they referred to Sima Yi's words, thinking of the recent battle between the enemy and us, and finally expressed their agreement.With Sima Yi's order, tens of thousands of Cao's soldiers and horses temporarily withdrew from the land of Hanzhong and returned.In the face of the retreat of the army, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, did not have any displeasure, but personally went out of the city to greet everyone like a victorious general.Seeing Cao Cao like this, the generals of the Cao army who had suffered the defeat were like defeated roosters, shrugging their heads, and they did not dare to face Cao Cao head-on.Seeing the discouraged looks of several generals under his command, Cao Cao immediately stretched out his hands to greet everyone and encouraged them and laughed: "Why are you so negative, this time everyone is desperately fighting with the enemy for the prestige of our army, and I Cao Cao is grateful in my heart."
Although our army is defeated today, you don't need to be so discouraged, as the so-called victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and today's defeat of our army is the best way to welcome tomorrow's victory.Everyone is happy, summing up the defeat this time, we will definitely be able to retake the land of Hanzhong if we have a chance. ”I have to say that Cao Cao is worthy of being a generation of heroes, so a few words will mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and under Cao Cao's encouragement, everyone's morale has recovered a lot.All the generals were moved by Cao Cao's words, and they all pledged their allegiance to Cao Cao, swore to the death, and the next battle would definitely accept the lost territory.After this battle, the battle of Hanzhong between Cao Cao and Liu Bei ended with Cao Cao's defeat, in the face of this Liu Bei's victory, according to the previous situation, Cao Cao will definitely personally wave his army south to regain the lost territory, but this time Cao Cao did not dare to move so much, just because of the loss of the whole county.And just when the state and Hanzhong were lost, there was a sentinel to report, Yuzhou also encountered the fierce attack of Zhao Wang's army, and the defenders of Yuzhou could not resist the attack of Zhao Yu's army, so that Cao Cao did not expect that this Zhao Yu would have such a big appetite to attack his own three states and counties of Bingzhou, Yuzhou and Sili in one fell swoop.However, for Cao Cao, what is even more terrifying for Zhao Yu is that when everyone thought that Zhao Yu's troops had entered Sanzhou, they didn't want Zhao Yu to attack and merge states, lure Si Li, and secretly take Yuzhou.Zhao Yu sent Si Li to lure Cao Jun and make Cao Jun's army dare not move at will, in fact, Zhao Yu's purpose was to use Si Li's war to contain Cao Jun, and all of this was for the purpose of merging the state and Yuzhou.Such a transcendent move is really incomprehensible to everyone, but it is precisely in this way that he can fight against the three heroes and stand in the strife of the world.Looking back at the time of the turmoil in the state at that time, when Zhao Yu sent people to rescue the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan, it was convenient for him to form an alliance, and then helped Huchuquan eradicate the internal rebel forces, consolidated the unity of the entire Southern Xiongnu for Huchuquan, and helped Huchuquan regain the power of the soldiers and horses.Immediately, in order to repay and deepen and consolidate his position, Hu Chuquan gave his daughter to marry Zhao Yu's second son, and the two sides carried out a political marriage, and named Zhao Yu's second son as the right king of the Southern Xiongnu, responsible for the entire right part of the Southern Xiongnu.Immediately, Zhao Yu's two sons, Zhao Can, the son of the current king of Zhao, and Zhao Yan, the king of the Southern Xiongnu and the king of Youxian, led an army respectively, forming two forces to launch a fierce attack on Xihe County and Shangjun in Bingzhou.With the full assistance of a group of generals, such as Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and other generals, and with the addition of Zhao Yu's special new weapons, the two easily broke through the city gate, which can be regarded as adding a perfect color to their coming-of-age ceremony.Of course, this is also a deliberate arrangement made by Zhao Yu, Zhao Can has always grown up beside several ladies, although he often learns from the generals and ministers in the army, but after all, he has not experienced the real battlefield, so Zhao Yu specially sent someone to let this prince come to the front-line battlefield for an experience.If you put it another way, that is, Zhao Yu is laying the foundation for Zhao Can's future, as a generation of kings, if you want to submit to your generals, in addition to having real strength, you must also have a unique political mind and thinking, in addition to having outstanding military achievements.Through the influence of himself and his parents, several of his children have unique thinking and opinions, and the only thing missing is Zhan Xun.Take Zhao Yu as an example, the reason why Zhao Yu has enough qualifications and capital to give orders in front of the generals of cultural relics is not only because of Zhao Yu's unique thinking from the 21st century, but also because of some of Zhao Yu's epic military achievements.Lurking in Chang'an to assassinate Dong Zhuo, fearless of fear to fight Lu Bu, talking and laughing and defeating Yuan Shu, showing his strength to destroy Yuan Shao, overcoming thorns and thorns to fight Cao Cao, and being ambitious in the world.With the support of these military achievements, coupled with the new world established by Zhao Yu, which is deeply loved by the people of the city, these points add up, making Zhao Yu's life go straight to the peak, and no one in the army dares to shout with it, even those generals who have the heart of a villain have become more well-behaved under Zhao Yu's training and rigor, and they have changed their ways and sworn allegiance to Zhao Yu, just because Zhao Yu is a person who never believes in slander.At this point, there is no gap for those who want to step on others to ascend to high positions.After the first battle of the state, Zhao Yu's two sons won certain feats with the help of a cadre of generals and many sergeants, although these feats are far from those old ministers, but they can be regarded as opening a new world for the two, allowing the two to thoroughly experience a new life.It is also fortunate to say that after these two battles, Zhao Can and Zhao Yan actually fell in love with the battle, and liked the excitement of waving the army to fight with the enemy, stepping on mountains and rivers, and charging into battle, especially the joy after defeating the enemy.As soon as the two boys tasted the sweetness of victory, they immediately asked Zhao Yu for help, wanting to take advantage of the situation to wave their troops to attack Xiliang, but they were dissuaded by Zhao Yu.I saw that in the hall, Zhao Can greeted Zhao Yu and bowed his hand: "Father, now our army has been victorious, and it can be said that the morale of the army is like a rainbow.At the same time, Cao's army and our army fought with Liu Beijun and Sun Quan's army and lost one after another, and their morale was upright and low.If we can take this opportunity to continue attacking Xiliang, we will definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop and occupy the entire Xiliang, so why not" Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile with relief after hearing this, and then explained preachily: "Haha, it's gratifying that my son has such ambitions, but some things are not as easy as you think."
Perhaps, as you said, if our army continues to attack Xiliang, it will definitely be able to win, but in other words, the price paid is also heavy, especially after the victory of Xiliang, the price is even more incalculable. ”"Oh, as long as you take Xiliang, the entire north of the river boundary is the world of my father, who would dare to get along with my father."
This time it was Zhao Yan on the side who spoke, and he was also the current Southern Xiongnu horse and the right virtuous king of the Southern Xiongnu.In the face of the inquiries of the two, Zhao Yu did not say much this time, but looked at Guo Jia on the side, as if he was talking and discussing with him.Subsequently, I saw Guo Jia standing up with a slight smile and saying to Wang Shizi and Youxian Wang: "Just when Wang Shizi and Youxian Wang marched separately and took Xihe County and Shangjun in Bingzhou in one fell swoop, the rest of our army also took the opportunity to sneak into Yanzhou quietly and merge with Yanzhou soldiers and horses.General Tai Shici led the soldiers and horses to capture the land of Yingchuan in Yuzhou, General Gao Shun led the soldiers and horses to capture the land of Chen State in Yuzhou, General Gao Lan led the soldiers and horses to capture the land of Liang State in Yuzhou, and General Deng Xian and General Liu Bi attacked the Lu State of Yuzhou from Yanzhou Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County.Subsequently, Xuzhou dispatched an army to cut off the connection between Lu and Pei in Yuzhou, and then continued south to attack Pei Guo.Immediately, General Dian Wei led a heavy army to break through the fortress of Yuzhou, Runan County, and all Yuzhou has been occupied by our army. ”As soon as Guo Jia's voice fell, he didn't wait for everyone to be happy, only to hear Guo Jia say again: "In order to plan for this army to attack Yuzhou, General Pang De led troops and horses to capture Hanoi County in Sili, and General Gan Ning also led Army B to occupy Henan County in Sili.Now only Xiliang is left in Cao Junzhou City, as well as most of the Sili, as well as several places in Jingzhou, and even Hanzhong was captured by Liu Bei.It can be said that all the current Cao Cao's armies are gathered in Xiliang, if our army attacks Xiliang, it is really a bit hard, although it may eventually be victorious, but it is really not cost-effective.When Xiliang enters the hands of our army, for example, it will cause fear among Liu Bei and Sun Quan, if the two join forces to fight against our army, it will be difficult to deal with, so after our army wins the battle of Bingzhou and Yuzhou, it is best to ease down and let Cao Cao recover a little bit is the best policy. ”After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhao Can couldn't help but ask curiously: "Listening to what Guo Sima meant, we want Cao Cao to gather forces to deal with Liu Bei" Guo Jia immediately smiled and said: "It is worthy of Wang Shizi, and he can guess Guo Jia's meaning in one sentence."
And what Guo Jia wants to express is exactly this, now for our army, the best way is to lure Cao Cao to start a decisive battle with Liu Bei, if it can make the two sides fight hard and suffer heavy casualties, then it is the best strategy for our army.Although with the current strength of our army, whether it is attacking Cao Cao or Liu Bei, it can achieve a final victory, but it will consume a lot of troops, and after attacking one side at will, it must be repaired for several years before attacking the next side, which consumes too much time. ”Zhao Can immediately couldn't help but appreciate: "It is worthy of Lord Sima, and it is worthy of being called a ghost talent by my father at that time."
Taking advantage of the enemy's engagement with the enemy and consuming their own troops, so that our army can take advantage of the fisherman, which is really a good move.But then again, with Cao Cao's cunning, wouldn't he see our plan, would Cao Cao really be willing to fight Liu Bei" The question raised by Zhao Can was not only his own question, but also the question of the other people present
