Cao Cao's first move was to send Cao Chong's 40,000 men to the Xiakou camp first, preparing to use Xiakou as the first point to cross the river.
Although Cao Cao's million-strong army is a false name, but speaking of which, the number of people is also quite a lot, if it crosses the river in a section of the river, even if no one stops it, it will take a long time to cross the Yangtze River, and on the side of the Yangtze River, there is still the desperate resistance of Jiangdong soldiers.
It is not a good choice for many people to cross the river, so Cao Cao divided the crossing point into two, one is Xiakou, Xiakou has Cai Mao's Jingzhou water division, although under Sun Quan's years of bloodletting, the Jingzhou water division is already inferior to the Jiangdong water division, but it has not yet reached the level of being completely unable to resist.
Another crossing point is in Ulin.
The reason why he chose to cross the river in these two places was naturally due to Cao Cao's considerations, first of all, Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu to guard Xiakou and Liu Bei to garrison Wulin, which was naturally for a reason.
Both Xiakou and Wulin have a characteristic, that is, the water is quiet and the river is narrow, and the river is crossed in winter, so the terrain is more beneficial to the Cao army, and the Cao army's chances of victory will naturally be more.
Of course, these are only Cao Cao's first moves, in Cao Cao's first move, he himself sat in Wulin and confronted Liu Bei, Cao Chong and Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Cai Mao and others sat in Xiakou and confronted Zhou Yu, and these were just to pave the way for the second move.
Cao Cao's second move was from the direction of Wuling Changsha and the border with Yuzhang County in Jiangdong.
Originally, Cao Cao did not plan to march from Wuling Changsha, because there were too many mountains in that area, and there were many miasma, which was really not conducive to marching and fighting.
This sentence seems to be a little scary, but it is not too distorted, the ancient south is basically an undeveloped place, this is the kingdom of beasts, which is equivalent to the Amazon forest, you let tens of thousands of people into the Amazon forest, what will be the result This was Cao Cao's original idea, but soon, his idea was broken by Han Xuan and others.
Han Xuan and others received the benefits of Cao Cao, so they naturally worked hard for Cao Cao, in order for Cao Cao to unify the world, and in order to get a better title for themselves, Han Xuan and others searched everywhere for medicine farmers from Wuling Changsha to Yuzhang County.
The so-called medicine farmer is naturally a farmer who goes into the mountains to collect medicine, which is a kind of occupation, of course, in modern times, this kind of profession has long disappeared with time, but in the Three Kingdoms period, many people still made medicine farmers for a living.
It is not easy for medicine farmers to find medicine, and in some places, the medicinal materials have long been drained, so they have to risk their lives to go to the depths of the mountains.
This is not a legend, what happened a few years ago, Han Xuan has always kept it in his heart, thinking that Cao Cao might use it, and immediately spent a lot of money to find that medicine farmer.
The medicine farmers entered the mountain, it was for money, and under the heavy profits of the government, they immediately gathered a group of medicine farmers, whether these medicine farmers were the medicine farmers Han Xuan a few years ago I don't know, but these medicine farmers really found a small road, from Wuling Changsha directly to Yuzhang County, Han Xuan knew.
Han Xuan got the news and quickly dedicated the news to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed when he knew the news, and rewarded Han Xuan fiercely, which made Han Xuan's loyalty rise a lot.
Since there is a road on the road, why should we face the natural danger of the Yangtze River It must be known that the ship technology in this period is not very mature, and the attributes in all aspects are much worse than those of later generations.
And most of the warriors in Cao's camp are northerners, northerners have never been on a boat, most of them will be seasick, although Cao Cao once built a Xuanwu pool outside Yecheng to train soldiers, but the effect is not very good.
Crossing the Yangtze River, it is nothing more than to use his own shortcomings and hit his strengths, obviously not done by a wise man, Cao Cao is a hero, naturally knows how to choose, and even directly put a trick to open two river crossing points, each of which has 100,000 people, to violently attack the other party.
In the second move, there are also 100,000 people who pass through the mountains of Wuling from the Yaonong Trail, which is already a mobile force that Cao Cao can take, and there are other forces that need to defend the city and guard against thieves and some small people In this battle, which had to be resolved quickly, Cao Cao had already exhausted all his strength Although this first move was for the second move, Cao Cao did not even tell them the second move in order to convince the enemy that Cao Jun was crossing the river and attacking them head-on.
In the hearts of Cao Chong and some generals, they didn't know that there was such a thing as a second move.
At this time, Cao Ying's soldiers went through the horses, sharpening their knives and Huo Huo to Sun Liu The flames of war, in the next moment, ignited in the land of Jingchu.
In the camp of the Chinese army in Xiakou.
Cao Chong sat on the main seat, Zhang Liao stood on the top right, Zhuge Liang stood on the top left, and behind the two, in order, Yu Ban Cai Mao, Zhou Budo, Guo Xiao and others.
Zhou Dufu Gao Yi Longzhi is standing behind Cao Chong, the three of them have good force, standing behind Cao Chong, there is still some deterrent power for the following military generals.
The generals are in place, Cao Chong looked at the people under him, and his heart swelled with infinite pride, these people, but they are all famous people in history, but now they are waiting for their orders.
Cao Chong's heart was surging, and the duration was only for a moment, and soon, Cao Chong buried this trace of emotion in the deepest part of his heart, and his face showed the expression of Gujing Wubo, under this Gujing Wubo, there was still a little seriousness.
Yu Ban, Cai Mao and the others watched Cao Chong sitting on the main seat, they quietly glanced at Zhang Liao, although there was something strange in their hearts, but they were not much unconvinced.
Cao Chong is the son of Cao Cao, is the son of the lord, and is very intelligent, and has made great contributions recently, this person is handsome, although everyone has something strange in their hearts, but there is not much resistance in their hearts, so a general, they are waiting for Cao Chong's order in the next head.
The big war is about to start, and some people in Cao Chong's camp have begun to boil, and some reckless people have even begun to ask for battle in front of Cao Chong.
With such morale, it is natural to use, but Cao Chong knew that Zhou Yu in front of him was not a guy to mess with, so he did not agree to the request of those generals, Cao Chong gathered the generals at this time, in order to formulate the next strategy.
It must be known that since the battlefield in Xiakou was personally taken care of by Cao Chong, then, no matter whether it was Zhou Yu or Sun Quan in front of him, whether it was Tai Shici or Huang Gai, if he blocked his path, Cao Chong would not mind breaking them into pieces.
The great responsibility in hand is not only an opportunity to perform, but also a heavy burden.
If it is defeated Cao Chong shook his head suddenly, secretly cheering himself up in his heart: I am a traverser, I have countless elites in my hands, and I am afraid that the natives of an era will be defeated Of course, although Cao Chong cheered himself up so much in his heart, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.
For Cao Chong, all the people of this era are naturally indigenous, but he may not be able to beat the indigenous Heroes of the Three Kingdoms, who dares to underestimate:
