The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 30 Is there any clever plan to stop Liu Bei?

"Kong Ming's plan kills two birds with one stone!"

"If it weren't for Ming Gong's insight into people's hearts, I'd be dead and gone!"

"Our army will also be in chaos!"

After speaking, Sima De also faced Cao Cao and said:
"If Ming Gong doesn't believe it! You can send an army to pretend to attack Xinye!"

"The truth and reality in the city will be known by then!"

Cao Cao also nodded when he heard this!

"What Renda said makes sense, although I don't understand Kong Ming."

"But if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger!"

"It would be a pity if Liu Bei really ran away!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Xiahou Dun was the first among the generals to stand up and said:
"What the Prime Minister said is true! The last general is willing to lead the attack as a vanguard!"

"If you go to Xinye! I will take advantage of the situation and take the nine counties of Jingxiang for the prime minister!"

When Yu Jin next to him heard this, he was not willing to lag behind others and said aloud:
"Lord! The last general is also willing to fight the vanguard for this!"

"Capture Liu Bei alive for the Prime Minister! Defeat Jingzhou!"

Later, many generals in the Chinese army's tent also stood up to ask for a fight.

However, all the advisers present except Sima De didn’t think so!

The old fox Cheng Yu was the first to speak:

"Prime Minister, think twice! The epidemic situation in the military is slowly improving. It may not be appropriate to send troops at this time!"

In their opinion, their own army has not completely eliminated the plague!

Rushing to send troops to new areas at this time will definitely not gain much!
I didn’t say whether it would be a disgrace, but I would say if another person died later.

What should we do if another wave of plague breaks out in the army?
But Cao Cao himself waved his hand and said:
"I understand Zhongde's intention, but this battle cannot be delayed any longer!"

"Although the plague is difficult to deal with, the mouth cloth made by Renda is already effective."

"Now the whole army is fine!"

"As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick. If we don't use soldiers anymore, let Liu Bei escape into Jingzhou!"

"By then, the overall situation in Jingzhou will change again!"

Seeing what Cao Cao said, Cheng Yu also understood that Cao Cao had decided to march.

No matter how much he tried to persuade me, it was useless!

Xun You also spoke at this time:

"Prime Minister! If we go by what Renda said, it is indeed imperative to march into the army!"

"How about sending an army to test it first?"

Regarding the possibility just analyzed by Sima De.

The counselors under Cao Cao were still skeptical.

Although Zhuge Liang is famous as Crouching Dragon, it is still in name only!

And here are all northern talents who have been famous for a long time.

How could he look down upon a young man who came from the land of Jingxiang?

Sima De will not say it, can a mere Zhuge Liang outwit all the wise men?

After all, the mainstream of today's culture is still in the northern part of the Central Plains.

What kind of sleeping dragon and phoenix chick can be the best in the world?

It's just the Jingzhou scholars bragging to each other!

However, Xun You and others also knew Liu Bei's situation at this time.

Although his three subordinates, Guan, Zhang and Zhao, are all fierce generals.

But in the end, it was still not as good as their fierce generals.

In addition, Liu Bei's soldiers only numbered 30,000.

And they have an army of half a million people!
So Xun You agreed to send troops to attack Xinye immediately.

The main thing is to block Liu Bei's way to prevent him from escaping into Jingzhou.

After all, if Liu Bei enters Jingxiang and merges with Liu Biao and others!
That will have a huge impact on the subsequent plan to capture Jingxiang and then conquer the entire Jiangnan area!

At that time, there will be natural dangers of the Yangtze River on the opposite side, plus Jingzhou's 300,000 elite navy!

Even if they have more soldiers and generals, they can only look forward to it and sigh!
Cao Cao looked at the tent and all the civil and military officials no longer objected.

Then he said: "Since everyone agrees to send troops,"

As he spoke, he also looked at the generals in the tent and said, "Where is Cao Hong?"

Cao Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this!
I was immediately overjoyed! You can also gain military exploits! He quickly came out of the queue and replied: "The general is here!"

Cao Cao also said slowly at this time:

"I order you to receive five thousand! Ten thousand troops!"

"Pretend to attack Xinye and explore the reality of the city!"

After speaking, Cao Cao took out a command arrow from the case and threw it away.

As soon as Cao Hong received the order, he rushed out of the tent happily.

Xia Houyuan next to him was a little unhappy when he saw it!
It was obvious that he was the one who invited me first!

Why did this good thing happen to Cao Zilian again?

The generals in Yu Jin were jealous when they saw this!

Later, Cao Cao also turned around and asked the counselors:

"If Liu Bei really has withdrawn from Xinye."

"Do you have any clever ideas to block its way south?"

Upon hearing the prime minister's question, all the counselors immediately fell silent!

Nowadays, the reality in Xinye City is still unknown.

Are you about to start thinking about how to block Liu Bei in Nanyang?
However, this is still somewhat difficult for everyone.

After all, everyone knows that it is easy to defeat Liu Bei, but it is too difficult to kill Liu Bei!
Liu Bei is famous for being good at running away!

Since then, this man has raised troops all the way from Zhuojun, Hebei, to Xiapi, Xuzhou.

And then to the present Nanyang Xinye.

It can be said that it has been defeated repeatedly, and it always comes back again!
He is simply the invincible Xiaoqiang among all the heroes in the world!

Otherwise, Prime Minister Cao would not regard it as a serious problem!
But this was, after all, the first battle of the imperial army's southern expedition.

Xun You and others also knew that their prime minister attached great importance to it.

Liu Bei wanted to kill him!
If this battle can be a complete victory, Liu Bei will be killed in Nanyang.

Then the subsequent expedition to the nine counties of Jingxiang will be more effective with half the effort!
But if this battle goes unfavorably, it will probably have a huge impact on the morale of the army!
Even if we want to capture Jingzhou in one fell swoop later, it will be even more difficult!

So all of a sudden, all the counselors began to think hard.

When Cao Cao saw this situation, he frowned!
These few people present are all top counselors, and they are also among the most resourceful people in the world.

But now we are facing Liu Bei's mere 30,000 people and the so-called Crouching Dragon Zhuge.

Actually everyone is so silent?

Cao Cao felt a little disappointed.

He couldn't help but look at Sima De, who had a lot of insights into Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

I just feel like I have these top counselors under my command.

At this time, Sima De may have a clever plan to destroy Liu Bei!

After feeling Cao Cao's gaze, Sima De also knew that it was time to speak for himself!
So, he patted his butt and prepared to stand up.

Based on his understanding of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

There is also a general analysis of the current situation.

He already had a good plan in mind at this time.

But when Xun You, Cheng Yu and others next to them noticed Sima De's movements.

They were all so frightened that they stood up!

"Renda, I know you want to share the Prime Minister's worries."

"But Liu Bei only has 30,000 troops, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Xun You also quickly held down Sima De and said.

"Yes Renda, although we are not familiar with the terrain of Nanyang."

"But after all, our army has 500,000 elites. When the time comes, all the troops will come out!"

"No matter how slippery Liu Bei is, he can't escape the encirclement and suppression of my army!"

Cheng Yu also quickly echoed!
Hearing this, Liu Ye was also anxious and wise, and quickly stood up and said:

"That's right! If Liu Bei withdraws from Xinye, he will definitely be no match for our army in a field battle!"

"The Prime Minister can send the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry southward in light armor, and our army will cut off their retreat!"

"Liu Bei must be intercepted north of the Yangtze River!"
