The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 613
However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have been facing each other across the river for more than half a year, and they know each other very well. Cao Cao's abnormal mobilization of soldiers and horses will also deceive Liu Bei.

"What is Cao Cao going to do?" Liu Bei sat at the head, frowning and asked several advisers.

"Your Majesty." Ju Shou said, "I think Cao Cao intends to attack."

With that said, Jushou stood up, came to the map, pointed to the map of Guandu area and said: "Cao Cao's troops and horses were transferred eastward, blatantly, and it seemed that they wanted to concentrate their troops and horses to attack Wuchao, but in fact they went out by day and returned by night. Cao Cao's army is still there." Guandu."

"Otherwise." Yan Xing objected: "Cao Cao's goal is still Wuchao. Cao Chun must have discovered the place where our army is storing food. He wants to attack Wuchao and seize the army's food and grass, but he is afraid that we will be prepared Using false and real tactics, we blatantly mobilized the army, making us mistakenly think that they came out at night and returned at night, but in fact the army was gathered on the other side of the Wuchao."

"Why does Cao Cao need to do this..." Ju Shou objected immediately.

Several counselors also expressed their opinions, and there was no unified point of view for a while, which not only failed to make Cao Cao's purpose clear, but made Liu Bei's thoughts even more confused.

"Zi Ming."

Liu Bei had no choice but to shift his gaze to Chen Ziming.

"Brother..." Sensing Liu Bei's gaze, Chen Ziming immediately called softly, and then signaled Liu Bei to pay attention to the other person.

Chen Ziming was also helpless, he was confused by what he heard, and he could figure out this kind of false and real strategy, but let him guess the false and real strategy Cao Cao is using now, he is not sure, if one is not good, Cao Cao will be hit The plan is, if the guess is wrong, let Cao Cao have a big victory at Guandu, and it will be fun.

"Huh?" Following Chen Ziming's gaze, Liu Bei's mouth twitched slightly when he saw a person listening to everyone's discussion with a calm expression and did not express his own opinion. This person was Jia Xu, another top counselor under Liu Bei.

Jia Xu's low-key made Liu Bei speechless, and often made Liu Bei forget this person, but Jia Xu's intelligence was very terrifying, and he made several shots, which was considered exhaustive, but what made Liu Bei helpless was that Jia Xu was so low-key that Liu Bei thought Is he the faint king who murdered the heroes?

"Wenhe." Seeing that Jia Xu still had no intention of speaking, Liu Bei could only ask himself: "What do you think about this matter?"

"Your Majesty." Jia Xu was slightly taken aback. It seemed that he did not expect Liu Bei to ask him a question. Generally speaking, when encountering such a thing, Liu Bei would ask Chen Ziming: "Cao Cao's sudden mobilization of troops is nothing more than to communicate with Your Majesty. I don’t want to procrastinate any longer.”

Jia Xu continued: "Since Cao Cao dared to send troops rashly, he must be sure of victory. The enemy and us are equal in strength. How can Cao Cao be confident? Only when he knows the weakness of our army can he defeat us in one blow."

Liu Bei nodded slightly after hearing this, and fought head-on. Although Liu Bei has fewer troops than Cao Cao, Liu Bei is confident that he can defeat Cao Cao. Of course Cao Cao also knows the difference in combat power between the two armies, so Jia Xu’s analysis is correct. Liu Bei motioned Jia Xu to continue. .

Jia Xu saluted slightly, and then said: "If you want to destroy our army, the only way is to destroy the Wuchao!"

Jia Xu said affirmatively: "Wuchao is the place where the army stores food. If the food and grass in Wuchao are destroyed, the army will be chaotic without fighting. Cao Cao can take advantage of the situation and attack. Therefore, I think that Cao Cao's goal is still Wuchao. "

After Liu Bei heard this, he nodded and asked: "If Cao Cao attacked Wuchao, he should mobilize troops secretly. Why did he not hide anything and let us be on guard?"

"Your Majesty." Jia Xu still said calmly, "No matter how secretly Cao Cao mobilizes troops, it will be difficult to hide the truth from our scouts, so he uses false tactics.",

"Why?" Liu Bei still didn't understand what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu explained: "When Cao Cao's army is mobilized, His Majesty must mobilize troops to take precautions. No matter whether Cao Cao surrenders or attacks by force, it will be difficult for him to go to Wuchao. His Majesty will even take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao will definitely not dare to attack Wuchao directly." Jia Xu said firmly: "Cao Cao must attack Pingqiu or Yanjin first, draw Wuchao's troops and horses, and then attack Wuchao."

After listening to Jia Xu's explanation, Liu Bei immediately understood Cao Cao's intentions, and then asked, "Is the soldier on the other side of Wuchao true?"

Jia Xu lowered her head and said, "It's true, but it's not true."

Without waiting for Liu Bei to ask, Jia Xu explained: "It is true that Cao Cao mobilized his army to the opposite bank of Wuchao, and it is also true that he returned to the army at night, but he did not withdraw all of them, but came more and less frequently. It looks like an empty camp, but there are actually soldiers and horses hiding in it."

"Wonderful!" Liu Bei quickly understood what Jia Xu meant, and immediately laughed loudly: "Wenhe, do you have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

Jia Xu's analysis was comprehensive, which immediately cleared Liu Bei's head, and immediately asked Jia Xu for his strategy.

Jia Xu didn't evade, and said: "I think that Cao Cao will pretend to let the soldiers attack Wuchao, so that we think that Cao Cao's goal is Wuchao, and then mobilize the army to attack this place. Your Majesty is here, and the rest of the troops will attack Wuchao. After Ma learned about it, he must have thought that Cao Cao's attack on Wuchao was a lie, but he actually came straight to His Majesty."

"In this way." Ju Shou said: "All soldiers and horses must return to Yanjin to rescue His Majesty, and Wuchao will be empty. Cao Cao will attack Wuchao again, and he will be defeated in one battle."

"Of course." Jia Xu smiled and said, "If you know its intention, it's not difficult to break it."

Jia Xu pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty can pretend to be Cao Cao's plan, mobilize troops and horses to station troops in Wuchao, and after Cao Cao attacks Yanjin, let the Wuchao defenders return to Yanjin with great fanfare, and then kill Cao Jun in the middle of the way. .”

"Ziming." Liu Bei's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he didn't order rashly, but looked at Chen Ziming.

Chen Ziming said: "Brother, Wenhe's plan is very clever. It can defeat Cao Cao in one battle, but it is also necessary to prevent Cao Cao from actually attacking Yanjin. You should be prepared."

Chen Ziming also supports Jia Xu's point of view. Cao Cao's goal is still Wuchao, but Yanjin has to be on guard. You must know that Liu Bei is in Yanjin. If Liu Bei concentrates the army in Wuchao, Yanjin will be empty instead, and Cao Cao will not Will pass up this opportunity.

Compared with Wuchao's food and grass, Liu Bei is obviously much more important. If Liu Bei can be killed, let alone Wuchao, it is very likely that the entire big man belongs to Cao Cao. Chen Ziming dare not take risks, nor can he have the slightest chance.

"If Cao Cao comes, just wait for him alone." Liu Bei's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he was not afraid of Cao Cao in the slightest.

"The generals will obey the order..."

Liu Bei began to assign tasks and mobilize the army, ready to surprise Cao Cao.

Chen Ziming didn't want to wait anymore. According to the agreement, Fazheng and others were given half a year. If there was no chance to break through Jianye within half a year, the big man would follow the original plan to contain Sun Quan and attack Cao Cao.
