Military strategy calculations.
Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and the others were horrified.
However, although they had seen through the first level, Xiao Bei still had the second level.
The reason why he abandoned Xinye, Gongyang, and Caiyang was because he wanted Liu Bei to stay in Xinye.
In this life, he didn't want Liu Bei to enter Sichuan again. He didn't want Shu Han and Dong Wu to form an alliance. He wanted to go south and kill Liu Bei in Xinye!
At the end of January.
The army did not move.
Yuan Shao was also unable to take down the war in Bingzhou.
Ye City.
In the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Xu You handed over a battle report and said respectfully,""My lord, the battlefield in Bingzhou has fallen into a state of anxiety. General Gao Gan has attacked Jinyang and his troops cannot enter Yanmen.”
"He didn't enter Yanmen?"
Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said unhappily," It's been months. The Central Commander-in-Chief's Mansion has already taken over Hanoi. The internal affairs have been heated up. The army has even moved to Zhaoge. Those who don't know better will think that Cao Cao is coming to attack my Jizhou!”
"Eh!"
Xu You fell silent.
Tian Feng stood up and said," My lord, I think we should change generals. General Yi Yi will replace Qu Yi as the general of Bingzhou. This will help General Gao Gan take down Bingzhou!"”
"Changing generals at the last minute?"
Yuan Shao's expression was uncertain.
However, he did not make a decision.
Instead, he opened the letter to see what explanation Gao Gan had.
"My lord!"
"How is it?" Xu You asked, puzzled.
Yuan Shao's face was ashen as he slammed the letter on the table and said coldly,""That Qu Yi, he is usually proud and indulgent, but now he wants to replace Yuan Cai and sit on the position of the governor of Bing Province!”
"What?"
Xu You, Qiushou, and the others were stunned.
In their eyes, this was a rebellion!
Yuan Shao ruled four states, which were the family property of the Yuan family. Why did you, Qu Yi, want Bingzhou?
"Yan Liang!"
"Yi!"
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said," The two of you will immediately lead 5,000 men to Bingzhou and kill Qu Yi. After that, destroy his loyal subordinates and assist Yuan Cai in taking down Yanmen County!"”
"My lord!"
Xu You quickly added," If we lead the army now, we might have to break off completely. Why don't we send a letter to appease them first? Then, we can send General Yi to deliver the document. At that time, we can seek to kill them and gather the soldiers of Bingzhou for the war!"”
"Yes!"
Yuan Shao's heart sank.
Just now, he was so angry that he was confused.
If Yan Liang's army were to cross the Taihang Mountains, Qu Yi would probably rebel on the spot!
Qu Yi's rebellion.
This was something that no one had expected.
The general was proud of his achievements and did not put the civil and military officials of Jizhou in his eyes.
Some time ago, he was forcefully sent to Bingzhou. Naturally, he was unwilling and wanted to become king himself!
Jizhou was surging with wind and clouds.
It did not affect the preparations for Yanzhou.
The four battalions of the Rong Manor were already prepared to send troops at the right time.
Northhunt Manor!
In the huge hall.
Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu all arrived.
Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu led the eight generals from the Rong Residence to gather!
"Gulp!"
Xiao Bei took a sip of tea, his eyes filled with ridicule.
In his previous life, there were five good generals and Cao Wei's eight tiger riders. In this life, they probably wouldn't exist anymore.
Purely separating the generals from the Cao and Xiahou families would only make people feel uncomfortable. They would think that Cao Cao was only using his family. It would be better to keep the first general and have five good generals!
"Marshal Xiao!"
"Marquis Beishou!"
Everyone bowed slightly.
Xiao Bei shook his feather fan and said with a faint smile,"Sit down!"
"Here!"
Everyone took their seats.
"Xinzhi, isn't the conquest of Xuzhou already decided?" Guo Jia asked curiously.”
"Yes!"
Xiao Bei nodded and said indifferently,"There are still some miscellaneous matters today. The directorate will send students to the various battalions and commander's tents. The battle of Xuzhou will be compiled into a book by them for military teaching. If there are classic battles, they might be compiled into a military book like Sima Rangyi and the others!"”
"Gulp!"
The generals gulped.
The battle achievements were only temporary, and the history books also played it down.
However, if he could compile the art of war and pass down his battle, that would be a great honor!
"There's more!"
Xiao Bei said in a deep voice,"I have discussed with the Prime Minister. The next First General will be given a title by the imperial court. Although he has no food city or fief, he is still the First General appointed by the imperial court!"”
"Here!"
The eyes of the generals were burning.
Xiao Bei turned to Xun You and said,"Gongda, do you have anything to add?"”
"Marshal Xiao!"
Xun You narrowed his eyes and said," If Xuzhou is conquered and the Yingyang Prefecture is established, can you let me stay in Xuzhou for a year? When we lead the army north, I can be the military advisor of the Yingyang Commander-in-Chief!"”
"Hmm?"
Xiao Bei's pupils immediately constricted.
Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia were all shocked.
"A few months?"
Xiao Bei said with a dark expression.
Xun You did some calculations and said,""If the situation doesn't change, we will definitely be able to cooperate with Marshal Xiao within two months!”
"Sure!"
Xiao Bei said in a deep voice.
Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, and the other battle generals were slightly confused.
Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Yue Jin, and Xiahou Yuan seemed to have grasped something.
"Da da!"
Xiao Bei knocked on the table and said in a deep voice,"In this battle in Xu Prefecture, I want Zang Ba and Gao Shun. No matter which battalion we encounter, if we can capture them alive, we will do our best to do so.”
"Here!"
The generals shouted.
Xiao Bei continued,"On the 25th of February, I will lead the army first. Prime Minister, you will set off in two days and march at an ordinary speed!”
"Here!"
The generals agreed again.
Xiao Bei looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu and said in a low voice,"Fengxiao, Wenhe, I will leave the Prime Minister's army to you. If Lu Bu is to defend Xiapi, there is no need to attack the city. I will observe the weather at night. There will be heavy rain this year.”
"Here!"
The two of them replied.
"Disperse!"
Xiao Bei waved his hand.
He had arranged everything that he could.
Whether they could take down Xuzhou with the least losses would depend on the situation during the war.
Several days later.
Li Dian, the commander of the cavalry, led his army from Wancheng.
Pei Mao immediately tightened the defense line and split Nanyang County into two halves, allowing Liu Bei to station his troops in Xinye.
Another 15 days later.
Xiao Bei silently led his army away.
They did not make any vows, nor did they make any big announcements. Instead, they sent their troops toward Peng City.
Mid-March.
Within the Chen Country, outside Ku County, in the Cao Army camp.
Man Chong's eyes were filled with shock as he opened the curtain of the tent.
"Bonin!"
The civil and military officials nodded.
Man Chong nodded and bowed." Prime Minister, there is a secret report from Xuchang. Li Jue was beheaded by Liang Xing and Zhang Heng in Huangbai City. They brought Li Jue's head and requested to surrender to the Zhechong Mansion. The commander has already sent General Wen Yuan to take over Beidi Prefecture. At the same time, the officials of the six departments have also been sent to the three auxiliary departments!”
"What?"
Guo Jia and Jia Xu stood up in shock.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled,"Xinzhi didn't guess wrong. It's as if his words contain the laws of heaven!”
"Not bad!"
Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and the others said in admiration.
Guo Jia walked to the side of the map and said in a deep voice,""The Northern Lands, the Three Ancestors, we have already formed a siege on Western Liang. Moreover, if we send our troops north, the Zhechong Prefecture will also be able to send troops to the Four Northern Regions. This is a true siege!”
"Yes!"
Jia Xu's shock did not diminish." Yingyang Manor, Zhechong Manor, and Middle Territory Manor. The three military manors formed a line of defense and offensive momentum. Once the Rong Manor sent troops, they would use brute force to enter Yuan Shao's territory. However, Jizhou should be able to see it. It's just that I don't know how the Marquis of Beishou marched at that time. I can't guess, I can't guess!”
"Haha!"
Cao Cao laughed and said,"I have already seen some of it, but I can only verify it when I deploy the new army!"”
"My lord!"
Man Chong continued," The Thousand Households of Bingzhou have sent a message. General Zhang He under Yuan Shao has killed Qu Yi in front of Jinyang and extinguished his loyalty. He has already taken over the battle in Bingzhou and is working with Gao Gan to pacify Yanmen!”
"Really?"
Cao Cao suddenly stood up.
Man Chong nodded and smiled bitterly." Marquis Beishou guessed it right. Qu Yi wanted to stand on his own in Bingzhou. He wanted to replace Gao Gan as the governor of Bingzhou. Therefore, Yuan Shao ordered him to be killed. Xiandeng Camp was also completely extinguished!”
"Pa da!"
Cao Cao sat down on the chair and sneered,""Yuan Benchu, he's cutting off an arm!”
“？？”
Jia Xu was dumbfounded.
Was Xiao Bei a god? Can guess everything?
Guo Jia patted Jia Xu's shoulder and said with a complicated expression,""Wen He, just get used to it. New words are always true, and schemes are always effective. Us strategists and generals are like stupid pigs in front of him!”
"This is too terrifying!"
"Is there really such a person in the world?" Jia Xu smiled bitterly.”
"Hey!"
Guo Jia sighed.
His relationship with Xiao Bei was close, and he regretted not meeting him earlier!
However, his good friend was too powerful, and he was also unwilling.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a complicated expression,""No wonder the generals are so convinced, and the Prime Minister trusts him greatly. But the Marquis of Beishou is also the country's chancellor, how could he have so much energy to plan the world!”
"This is the difference between us!" Guo Jia said bitterly.”
"Right!"
Cao Cao put away the secret report and asked,"Where are the new troops?"”
" The Marquis of Beishou has already gathered his troops in Xiayi," Man Chong said respectfully." He will be able to march into Pei Country in a few days. The news will probably reach Xuzhou soon!"”
"Is that so?"
Cao Cao's eyes shone brightly as he said,""If the news has spread, then Lu Bu should be on his way. Li Dian has already arrived at Shansang, and we will be able to meet the army in a few days. At that time, we will be able to conquer Guyang and enter Xiaqiu. If he doesn't come to Xiapi, we will take him down directly and lead our troops to Tancheng!”
"Yes, sir!"
Man Chong said respectfully.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said,"Go prepare for the battle. We'll set off tomorrow morning!"”
"Here!"
Everyone bowed and left the commander's tent.
The next day.
Cao Cao's army set off.
The army led by Xiao Bei also entered the territory of Pei Country.
Outside Xiao County City.
Xiao Bei looked at the incomparably dilapidated small city.
Xu Chu stood at the side and said in a deep voice,"Xinzhi, you haven't been back for many years, right?”
"Yes!"
Xiao Bei nodded.
Xu Chu said with a complicated expression," The Xiao clan was originally an aristocrat clan from Xiao County. Unfortunately, they went to Chenliu during my grandfather's generation. Back then, our two clans were also in-laws. It was only when my uncle went into business that we were able to contact each other!”
"Aren't we going to attack Dong Hai County?" Yu Jin asked in confusion. To the east of Xiao County was Pengcheng, and down the Si River was Xiapi!”
"Lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Cheng Yu smiled faintly." Stationing troops in Xiao County will lure Lu Bu out. At the same time, it will create an opportunity for the Prime Minister to attack Xia Qiu. As long as we stall for enough time, the 1st Battalion will directly penetrate from Liu County to Lanling in the East Sea. We will be able to catch Tan City unprepared!”
Xun You nodded." The Jinyiwei has reported that the generals of Pengcheng are Zang Ba, right? The generals of Lanling are Cao Xing and Gao Shun!”
"Not bad!"
Xiao Bei smiled faintly and said,"Zang Ba is a good general. He knows that we are stationed in Xiao County, so he will definitely set up an ambush in the mountain range at the border of the two counties. We will station troops in Xiao County for a few days and let him feed mosquitoes in the mountains. Then, we will go to Lanling!"”
"Haha!"
All the civil and military officials burst into laughter.
Two days later.
Tancheng, the state shepherd's house.
Xu Zhou's civil and military officials did not dare to make a sound.
"My lord!"
"Xiao Bei is stationed in Xiao County, Li Dian and Cao Mengde are all moving towards Guyang!" Chen Deng said respectfully.”
"Bang!"
Lu Bu flipped over the table, his eyes filled with malevolence.""The Cao bandits have bullied us too much. Three armies have marched out from Pei Country. They are pointing their swords at Xiapi. If Xiapi is broken, they can march forward without having to face the army stationed at Lan Ling!”
"Not bad!"
Chen Deng said respectfully.
"Something's wrong!"
"There's a problem with this deployment!"
Chen Gong looked at the map with an ugly expression."Peng City has General Zang Ba, and there are also mountains to set up an ambush. Xiao Bei is the Marquis of the North and is in charge of the Rong Manor. How can he not know the terrain? His goal is not Peng City at all, but Liu County and Lanling. He is the main force in attacking Xu Prefecture, and Cao Cao is only an auxiliary force!”
"Impossible!"
Chen Deng shook his head.
Chen Gong took a deep breath and bowed."My lord, we should immediately reinforce Pengcheng and Lanling. Back then, Xiao Beiping and Yingchuan used the method of besieging the city to attack reinforcements. If Lanling is lost, then Tancheng will have no horns to protect it!”
"Huh?"
"You mean I don't want to send troops to Xiapi?" Lu Bu grinned hideously.”
" Xiapi is a strong city," Chen Gong said with a solemn expression." We have enough soldiers to defend the city. If Lanling is lost, Tancheng will be in danger!"”
"Chen Gongtai!"
Lu Bu took out a letter from the table and said coldly,""Now, I finally understand what Cao Mengde wrote in his letter. Wuyue's army arrived at Xiapi, and the two of you met to seize the city, right?”
"My lord!"
Chen Gong's eyes were filled with disbelief.
He had always thought that the matter had passed. He did not expect Lu Bu to still remember and suspect him even more!
"Don't say anymore!"
Lu Bu waved his hand and said resolutely," Xiapi is the most important. Cao Cao did not hesitate to mobilize Li Dian and let Liu Xuande, that hypocrite, take over half of Nanyang County in order to take Xiapi and then annex all of Xuzhou. How can I let him do as he wishes?!"”
"Ha!"
Chen Gong laughed bitterly.
At this moment, he could no longer use words to express the sorrow in his heart!
