Chapter 483 (1/2)
At the beginning of October, General Liu Ye sent 50000 troops from Puyang, pretending to be 100000, and killed Yuzhou all the way.
A hundred thousand troops!
Although people all over the world know that Liu Ye sits in Guanzhong and is good at fighting under his command, no one can imagine that Liu Ye's troops this time are so large that people all over the world are talking about it.
Have a meal.
”Zhicai, this time Yu Qing used a hundred thousand troops and was very aggressive. It seems that he wanted to level down the two prefectures of Henan and Yangzhou at one stroke and win the southeast.” Cao Cao congealed his voice.
”Ha ha, it is worthy of being a general. It is indeed a soldier of weihehe.”
With a smile, a piece of black jade caught by his fingers fell on the chessboard.
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai are sitting under the pavilion. There is a chessboard between them. Xi Zhicai holds the black one, while Cao Cao holds the white one.
In fact, Weiqi existed as early as the Han Dynasty, but the rules are not the same as those of later generations. On the one hand, it is not 19 vertical and horizontal paths; on the other hand, the rules of the first hand are also different.
Cao Cao frowned and said, ”if you really use 100000 troops, I'm afraid Yuan Shu can't resist it.”
”Master, don't worry. I don't think the generals are using 100000 troops.”
”Oh?”
”Since the beginning of the army, the generals have always been based on the weakness of the enemy and the strength of the enemy. Their policies are mostly compassionate with the people's power.” ”With the general's style of military use, the number of 100000 must be illusory. If we really use 100000 troops, at least we should recruit 100000 civilians to transport grain and grass.
But since Luoyang was set on fire by Dong Zhuo, the post stations are dilapidated and the roads are slack. I'm afraid it's hard to bear such a huge transportation of grain and grass. ”
Cao Cao nodded and joked: ”if Yuqing really used 100000 troops, it would have been a little scared, ha ha ha.”
Although it seems that they are still playing chess, in fact, their minds are not much on the chessboard, but on a broader world.
”My Lord.” ”Although Yuan Shu occupied Huainan and had many generals under his command, Zhang Xun led tens of thousands of troops to attack Yingchuan and chenguo counties in Yuzhou. Sun CE led his troops to attack Lujiang County, and Xu Huang also fought against Yuan Shu in Jiujiang county. Although Yuan Shu was called emperor, he was actually enemy on all sides.”
”It can be said that this is the weakest moment for Yuan Shu and the best time for our army to send troops.” He said slowly.
”Well!” Cao Cao nodded: ”now Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are competing for supremacy in Hebei Province. Yuqing occupies Guanzhong and manages the Central Plains. Although our army occupies Qingxu two prefectures, it is impossible to compete with them. We must obtain Huainan!”
Cao Cao clenched his fist, and his face showed an expression of determination.
Xi Zhicai said in a low voice: ”general miaocai has already led ten thousand elite soldiers to Xiaopei secretly. General miaocai has been ambushing in the daytime and travelling at night. Therefore, no one knows about Xiaopei's garrison. Don't hesitate, my Lord. Please send troops immediately.”
Cao Cao laughed: ”well, in this case, he ordered the second to be the vanguard and lead the army to capture Jiujiang County, and give the Zhongjia emperor a fatal blow!”
Xia Houyuan, the commander of Cao Cao's army, who was famous for his surprise attack, had already arrived in Xiaopei city secretly. After receiving Cao Cao's order, he immediately led his army to carry out the surprise attack.
Jiujiang County, Zhongli city.
At this time, the sky is not bright, and the dense fog of late autumn covers the whole clock city. People can't see things clearly within a few feet at a glance. It's not a suitable day to travel.
However, such days are sometimes very beneficial to the deployment of troops.
The watchman at the head of Zhongli City yawned and swore in a low voice: ”why hasn't Wei San come for defense? Is it possible that this boy has fallen asleep and asked me to suffer here.”
Suddenly!
In the thick fog, a sharp blade suddenly stretched out and passed through the watchman's throat. His eyes were wide, and after a few convulsions, he suddenly fell to the head of the city.
In many places, the same scene is being staged in many places. The soldiers who patrol the city are inexplicably killed on the top of the city.
