Go down to Jingzhou first, and then go down to Jiangdong Cao Cao frowned and said, "Can't I wait to go down Jiangxia County first, then go down to Jiangdong, and finally sweep Liu Bei?"
Jia Xu smiled, and there were more wrinkles on his old face.
"What the lord said, yes, there is Xiakou Port in Jiangxia, located in the upper reaches of Chaisang, and it is indeed a good place to attack Jiangdong, but the lord will not rest assured that Liu Bei in Jingnan will not be relieved."
Indeed, if he went down to Jiangxia first, Cao Cao's troops could reach Chaisang and strangle Sun Quan, but Liu Bei was always a thorn in Cao Cao's heart, and Jia Xu could see this more clearly than anyone else.
Jiuqu is connected with the Yangtze River water, the Yangtze River is in the peak water period, and it is obviously not a good time to cross the river during the high water period, in fact, Cao Cao still has a month or two to clean up Liu Bei.
With the four counties of Jingnan and one Jiangling, Liu Bei only got much time In less than ten days, and Liu Bei's original team was actually not much, 10,000 people died, and 10,000 people swallowed the land of the five counties of Jingzhou, which itself was like a snake swallowing an elephant, and there were too many generals, which caused the cohesion of Liu Bei's army to decline a lot in a short period of time, and those who surrendered, the ghost knows whether they really surrendered or were forced to pressure As soon as Cao Cao's army arrived, it could make everything intriguing.
And if Liu Bei is given a month, or even longer, with Liu Bei's political skills, he has already cleaned up the five counties of Jingnan well, and when the time comes, if he wants to recover Jingzhou, the price he will pay will be much more than now Therefore, Liu Bei's house must be cleaned up first Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked, "If Sun Quan came to the aid of Liu Bei and attacked our army in Jiangxia and Jiangling, then what should I do?"
Jia Xu smiled again on his face, and then said unhurriedly: "Although Sun Quan is wise, he also knows the mind of the lord, and knows that after Liu Bei is defeated, he will swallow Jiangdong, but Sun Quan is constrained by the Jiangdong Shi clan, if the lord allows Sun Quan and the Jiangdong Shi clan to be a high-ranking official, they will not come to help Liu Bei."
After Jia Xu finished speaking, another person spoke up, the person who spoke was wearing a blue coarse cloth, but his every move was like a scribe.
It's not Cheng Yu, who is it "Doctor Taizhong's words are a bit arbitrary" Arbitrary Jia Xu frowned, and then the wrinkles disappeared like a glacier "I don't know what the military advisor has to do, Jia Xu listens" Cheng Yu saluted Jia Xu and laughed on his face: "The kid is a lie, he shouldn't listen to the Taizhong doctor."
Cheng Yu was about to compliment Jia Xu a few words, but Boss Cao didn't agree I saw Boss Cao pouting, the white eyes in his eyes rolled, and then waved his hand at Cheng Yu, and said: "Zhongde, these red tapes will be avoided first, and tell me about your strategy first."
Cheng Yu smiled embarrassedly, and after saluting Jia Xu, he didn't dare to make any other moves, and said honestly: "The lord has heard of the governor of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin" Cao Cao frowned and nodded immediately.
"The minister asked the lord again, how much does the lord know about Sun Quan?"
Hearing Cheng Yu's question, the corners of Cao Cao's eyes drooped, obviously starting to think about the problem.
Jia Xu smiled beside him, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"The military advisor thinks Zhou Gongjin, who is Sun Zhongmou?"
Cheng Yu smiled, obviously having already figured out the answers before asking these two questions "Sun Quan stoops down and endures humiliation, he is still calculating, there is a strange trick of hooking, the masterpiece of the British and Zhou Gongjin's temperament, he is reckless, he is strong, he is brave enough to overtake others, he is a man of dictatorship, he is a real genius."
"One is comparable to Gou Jian, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and one person says that he is a genius, can this evaluation be too high?"
Jia Xu said on the side.
Cheng Yu's eyes were shining, he stared at Jia Xu's eyes carefully, and said: "Sun Quan is in charge of his father and brother's foundation at the age of a weak crown, isn't it better to Gou Jian Zhou Gongjin is the governor of Jiangdong, and behead Huang Zu in Jiangxia, wouldn't he be a genius?"
Hearing Cheng Yu say this, Jia Xu also fell silent, as for Cao Cao, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter "Zhongde has said a lot, I don't know if there is a way to break the enemy" Cheng Yu took a step forward and said with a smile: "The strategy to break the enemy is as Doctor Taizhong said, Liu Bei is more threatening to the lord than Jiangdong, and he must be eliminated first, but for Sun Quan, we can't let him have a chance to draw troops."
Cao Cao's eyes were confused, and he asked: "What Zhongde means is to divide a strong army to attack Chaisang, and the other army is to encircle and suppress Liu Bei."
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Our army is claimed to be one million, but in fact there are close to 400,000, if you add the surrender of Xiangyang, it is already close to 500,000, 500,000, even if you remove the soldiers who are stationed in various places, the number of soldiers who can be mobilized in the hands of the lord is more than 300,000, 300,000, even if the troops are divided, it is enough for them to bear, not to mention that our attack has a focus, attacking Jiangdong and his party, only 50,000 people from General Dangkou's headquarters are needed, and attacking Liu Bei, it is 250,000 people."
Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be quite moved.
"Sun Quan can be fooled, and Zhang Liao's 50,000 people will be less" Now it's Xun You's turn to speak.
"General Dangkou is a wise general, since he can take Xinye Fancheng in the hands of Guan Yunchang within three days, he can naturally make Jiangdong dare not draw troops to aid Liu Bei, if the lord is still not at ease, he can give General Dangkou another 10,000 water troops, and then send Cai Mao as his deputy general, so that Jiangdong will be deterred, and there will be no change."
Cao Cao nodded, and after listening to the words of the three strategists, Cao Cao thought for a moment, and then said the final decision: "General Dangkou will lead 60,000 people, and the deputy general Cai Mao, attack Jingkou Chaisang, and give another thousand thunderbolts."
The so-called thunderbolt is naturally made of gunpowder, the ancients always like to give it a lofty name when inventing a thing, gunpowder has such a might, naturally Cao Cao named it a thunderbolt Jia Xu held the short beard under his chin, and couldn't help nodding, the power of the thunderbolt Jia Xu has seen it, with this thing, there is indeed nothing to worry about in Jiangdong.
Well, now there is only one question left How to deal with Liu Bei Xun You pondered for a moment, but stood up first and said: "In terms of dealing with Liu Bei, the minister has only one suggestion: fast" "Fast" Xun You nodded and said: "It's fast, with lightning speed, take Jiangling in one fell swoop, and Jiangling, Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling and other places, will weigh themselves well, when the time comes, the lord only needs to allow high-ranking officials to be Houlu, and the four counties of Jingnan will surrender without a fight."
Cao Cao nodded, but there was nothing on his expression.
"Who do you think can be a pioneer?"
Jia Xuxun and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and they all took a step back, but Cao Ren came up to speak.
"The last general will find one man more suitable":
