After Xu Shu once again told the crowd about the purpose of this gathering of people for discussion, he quickly walked to the map hung on the wall of the small hall and introduced the current situation of Cao Cao's army to the crowd.

It can be said that after several years of development, Cao Cao has now become the second-largest prince in the world after the Zhengdong Army in terms of territory and population. And it can be said that if the Zhengdong Army did not join the three counties of Yuzhou, Cao Cao's territory and population might even be larger than the Zhengdong Army.

However, relatively speaking, although Yuan Shaojun’s territory and population are inferior to the previous two, in terms of soft power, they are inferior to the two. Yuan Shao’s reputation among the world’s civil servants and the talent and wealth under his control There are so many aspects, it can be said that the whole world is unique.

At present, Cao Cao’s army occupies most of Yanzhou, most of Xuzhou, nearly half of Qingzhou, and a small part of Yuzhou. There are a total of 18 counties, totaling more than 180 cities, and the total population under its rule has reached nearly Nine million.

According to the news returned by the Shadow Guard in recent years, Cao Cao's army has a total of more than 800,000 soldiers and horses. Its soldiers and horses are divided into two divisions: the Chinese army and the foreign army. The Chinese army is equivalent to the battle barracks of the Zhengdong Army, with about 200,000 soldiers and horses. The foreign army is also called the county army, which is equivalent to the defense of the Zhengdong Army. Soldiers, about 600,000 troops.

Based on the information sent back by Shadow, Guo Jia and other military divisions basically figured out the composition of Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao owns the 100,000 army of the most elite Chinese army in his own hands. Apart from the Qingzhou Soldiers and Tiger and Leopard Cavaliers who have fought against the Eastern Army, there are five elite soldiers and horses, each with about 10,000.

In addition to the 100,000 army, the four brothers Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun whom Cao Cao trusted the most, each had an elite army of nearly 10,000. The remaining dozen prefects each had 3,000 to 5,000 people. Wait.

The Cao Cao Army’s force distribution is different from that of the Zhengdong Army. The Zhengdong Army implements separation of military and administration. The county prefect’s responsibility is government affairs. Military affairs are in the hands of the captain. The most powerful elite combat barracks are controlled separately. The hands of the most loyal to Huangfu Chaobo.

Cao Cao’s army is different. Cao Cao has many relatives and generals, so some of the best counties he ruled are in the hands of these relatives. Therefore, they also hold absolute military power in their hands. As for other generals, even for Cao Cao They are loyal and loyal, and they hold the posts of ordinary or even poor county prefects. Correspondingly, the military power they hold is much weaker.

Judging from the current situation of Cao Cao’s army, there are no signs of military mobilization. However, although the shadows have a large number of people under Cao Caoye, not everything can be found, just as Cao Cao can’t figure it out. The arrangement of the East Army is the same.

It took Xu Shu nearly an hour to explain to everyone what Shadow had learned about Cao Cao's army, including the situation of troops in various places, the situation of the generals of Cao Cao's army, and explained everything to everyone.

After the explanation of the situation of Cao Cao's army was completed, Xu Shu gave another explanation about the situation of the army.

As a result, it took another half an hour.

After Xu Shu finished speaking, Huangfu Chao said: "Everyone, you know the enemy, you can win all battles. Now the situation of both the enemy and the enemy has been explained to you clearly. Next, please, Master Xun, to everyone Tell about the situation of the two allies who will play together with Cao Cao next year."

Xun You heard Huangfu Chaobo’s words and stood up and said: "Master, sirs, generals, you should know that last month, You once led the ambassador to Langya to reach an alliance with Guangwu General Ye Laixiang, and the other party agreed that next year When our army launched an offensive against Cao Cao's army, it also sent troops to the East China Sea to attack Cao Cao's army."

"At the same time, Sun Cejun of Jiangdong will also send troops to Huaibei to attack Xiapi County and Donghai County under the control of Cao Cao's army. In this way, Cao Cao's army will face the simultaneous attack of our three princes."

"Of course, our East Army is also surrounded by a group of enemies. However, it is unlikely that the Lu Bu Army to the north will be able to attack. Moreover, Hedong and Hanoi are also ready. I believe that the Lu Bu Army has basically no possibility of attacking our territory. In the words of Yuan Shaojun in the east, the master of Wei Jun’s defense has already conducted a detailed inspection a few days ago and adjusted its defense line. Moreover, our army has also formed an alliance with the Montenegrin Army. The other party promised that once Yuan Shaojun Send troops to Wei Jun, the other side will definitely send troops to aid."

"The West Liang Army in the west has no thoughts and strength to break through our army's defenses in Hongnong, so it is safe. As for the Nanyang Army in the south, if the Yingxi Army is blocking the whole world, Sizhou and Yuzhou will be unharmed. And the two counties of Qingzhou in the east were also on the defensive in the ensuing war. The lord also went to patrol more than a month ago. I believe the defense has been strengthened again."

Speaking of this, Xun You paused for a while before saying: "So in this battle, our army can go out of the five combat barracks in Henan, Chenliu, and Yuzhou counties, as well as the lord’s guard battalion, totaling about 150,000. Combat soldiers, together with the deployed guards and civilian craftsmen, the total number of soldiers and horses should be around 250,000."

After Xun You finished speaking, Huangfu Chaobo got up and said: "A few months ago, I have already sent you the general strategy for dispatching troops. I believe everyone has already considered how to fight this battle. , Where is the illusion, where is the reality, what kind of results are to be achieved, then everyone can speak freely."

As soon as the voice fell behind, everyone fell into contemplation, not deliberately cold, but said that everyone was frightened by the actions of their masters, and dispatched an army of 250,000 at a time. Few companies can have such courage today.

After a while, Guo Jia stood up and said: "Gong, Jia here is an intelligence to remind everyone that 80,000 of the 100,000 Chinese army in the hands of Cao Cao's most elite are in the city of Changyi, the capital of Yanzhou, and another 20,000 are still under construction. It should be two of the five soldiers and horses mentioned in the intelligence."

Huangfu Chaobo nodded, meaning that Cao Cao's Qingzhou Army, Hubaoqi and the other three Chinese troops have all returned to Changyi.

At this time, Pang Tong got up from his seat, walked slowly to the front of the map, and said: "Master, in the view of unification, the army can be divided into two groups, Huben Camp, Hubu Camp and Guards as one, attacking Yanzhou. The three armies of Shenwuying, Fenwuying and Zhenwuying in Yuzhou sent troops to Yuzhou to capture Cao Cao’s army in one fell swoop."
