Cao Cao's expression changed slightly when he heard Lin Yuan's words.

After capturing Jingzhou, he believed that no prince among the princes could compete with him.

Even Yuan Shao couldn't do it. Lin Yuan just told him that attacking Jizhou might cause heavy casualties to his soldiers.

Cao Cao knew Lin Yuan very well, and he knew that what Lin Yuan said was true and would not scare him.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and regained his composure. He looked at Lin Yuan and said,"My virtuous son-in-law, you must have a reason for saying this.""

"He also asked the wise son-in-law to tell Cao why the attack on Jizhou would cause heavy casualties."

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied after hearing what Cao Cao said. No matter how powerful Cao Cao was, he would reflect on it.

He would not ignore other princes just because he became stronger.

"Although Yuan Shao only had one city in Jizhou, Jizhou City was also a relatively large state city."

"After all, Yuan Shao is a member of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third prince. With Yuan Shao's reputation, many advisers and generals will defect to him."

"There will also be many soldiers going to join Yuan Shao, and his father-in-law will come all the way to fight with Lien Jieh."

"Yuan Shao naturally knew how his father-in-law captured these cities, and Yuan Shao would definitely be wary."

"As for Liu Biao, I can provoke his generals and Liu Biao's son to cause civil strife in Jingzhou."

"This strategy is impossible to succeed against Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao made a promise in Jizhou 137 Ding. Both civil servants and generals must obey Yuan Shao's orders."

"The generals under Yuan Shao are loyal to Yuan Shao and will not be incited to betray Yuan Shao."

"Using Nanyang's strategy to deal with Yuan Shu will not work against Yuan Shao either."

"With Yuan Shu's lesson learned, the soldiers guarding the city gates in Jizhou will be rotated every day."

"There will also be military generals who are loyal to Yuan Shao personally guarding the city. In this way, it is impossible to get the insiders to open the city gate."

"What's more, Yuan Shao's army has not arranged internal support. With Yuan Shu's incident in Nanyang, Yuan Shao will definitely check carefully whether there are internal support in his army."

"Neither of these two strategies of inciting military generals works. The only way for father-in-law to attack Jizhou is"

"There was only a frontal siege. Yuan Shao knew that after his father-in-law captured Jingzhou, he might attack Jizhou next."

"Yuan Shao also knew that he could not compete with his father-in-law head-on, so he would definitely defend Jizhou"

"Jizhou's city walls are strong, and there are elite soldiers and generals in the city. There is also plenty of food and grass."

"It is difficult for the Lord to capture Jizhou. Even if the army is captured, there will be very (cfdj) heavy losses."

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao and told all the disadvantages of attacking Jizhou.

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard Lin Yuan's words. It took him a while to react.

Cao Cao's face became a little ugly. He did not expect that attacking Jizhou would be like this. Lin Yuancai's words made sense to him.

With the lessons learned from Liu Biao and Yuan Shu,

Yuan Shao would definitely be vigilant and could not sow discord and install internal forces.

If he wanted to attack Jizhou, he could only attack the city head-on.

Siege warfare would cause heavy casualties to soldiers. Very big, he did have more soldiers than Yuan Shao.

Even so, Cao Cao couldn't bear it

"What the wise son-in-law said makes sense, but Cao’s thinking was too simple."

"After all, Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao, and he is still different from other princes."

"If Cao leads a large army to attack Jizhou head-on, even if he captures it, he will lose his troops and generals."

"In this way, other princes may take action against Cao"

"These princes would definitely not give up such a good opportunity."

Cao Cao said with a look of emotion on his face.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly when he heard Cao Cao's words. It is a good thing that Cao Cao knows the disadvantages of this.

In this way, Cao Cao will be vigilant and not be blindly confident.

"Not only that, but there is another thing that my father-in-law didn’t pay attention to."

"Since my father-in-law raised troops from Chenliu, whether it was to conquer Dong Zhuo or attack Tao Qian, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao,"

"The lord has won great victories and the soldiers have suffered very few losses. The lord has not suffered a defeat so far."

"If we attack Jizhou but fail to capture it, or if we pay a heavy price to capture Jizhou,"

"It does great damage to morale and can even bring the army to its knees."

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao with a solemn look on his face. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lin Yuan has been thinking about this matter during this period. It is a good thing to win consecutive battles, but it also has dangers..

If there is a defeat, it is very likely that all the morale accumulated before will be shattered.

Without morale, the army will be unable to recover, and it will be very difficult to revive the army.

Cao Cao's face changed greatly when he heard Lin Yuan's words. This matter is worse than attacking Jizhou is even more serious.

Before Lin Yuan said these words, Cao Cao was still very disdainful of Yuan Shao.

Since he thinks so, generals like Cao Ren must also think so.

Even the soldiers in the army will think so, everyone will I think that all Jingzhou has been captured.

Yuan Shao is no more than that. It is not difficult to capture Jizhou.

Once you have this idea, there will be big problems when attacking Jizhou.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao has a cold sweat on the back of his neck. If there is no Lin Yuan reminded.

If he leads an army to attack Yuan Shao in the future, he may end up like this.

"Without the reminder from his wise son-in-law, Cao would not have thought of these things."

"Dear son-in-law, you should accept this tribute!"

Cao Cao stood up, looked at Lin Yuan, and saluted.

Lin Yuan's words allowed him to avoid heavy casualties in his army, and also prevented him from ending up like Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.[]

"There is no need for father-in-law to do this. If Qinghe sees this scene, he will fight for him."

Lin Yuan helped Cao Cao up with a smile on his face.

"Does she dare?"

Cao Cao also had a smile on his face when he heard Lin Yuan mention Qinghe.

He knew that this was Lin Yuan trying to ease his mood so that he didn't need to be anxious.

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao and smiled. He has not yet attacked Jizhou. It's still too late

"This is why the subordinates asked the father-in-law to agree to Sun Jian's request, and the father-in-law led the army to attack Jizhou alone."

"If you want to capture Jizhou, you will definitely suffer a lot of casualties. If you have the support of Sun Jian's army,"

"If you want to capture Jizhou, the casualties of the army will be much less."

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao and said the reason why he agreed to Sun Jian's request.

"The Xianxiu wanted the scene that happened when he attacked Hulao Pass to reappear in Jizhou, right?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Yuan's words. He thought of attacking Hulao Pass when he was conquering Dong Zhuo.

At that time, Cao Cao also attacked Hulao Pass with Sun Jian, and they captured Hulao Pass very easily.
