The Evolution of the Three Kingdoms Volume Chapter 104: Each Conspiracy

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Ancheng, late at night, Li Zhe received a notification from Zhao Yun.

    "Huh? This group of people! I asked them to harass, but they just hit me. Why are they so reckless? Don't you know what harassment means?" Li Zhe turned around and faced Xu Shu and Huang who were waiting beside him.  Tadashi said.

    These two people did not agree with Li Zhe's policy on Nanyang County, so they were transferred from Nanyang with his own troops by Li Zhe's personal order to maintain Li Zhe's policy in Nanyang County.  Now it seems that Su Wu has no problem guarding Nanyang County with the support of Wei Yan, so let's just leave Nanyang County to Su Wu and Wei Yan!  It would be better for Xu Shu and Huang Zhong to be transferred to their side, so as not to cause inconsistencies in the military and political affairs of Nanyang County.

    Xu Shu seemed much more honest when we met again.  Li Zhe was talking about something that sounded like a rant, but the two people standing below him didn't have any words to talk about it.

    Li Zhe thought to himself and said:

    "A man as stable as Zhao Yun actually followed this nonsense. Come and see, he actually asked me to mobilize the Perak Battalion and the Engineer Battalion to go north in an attempt to capture Yan County. Such a place is the heart of Cao's army. If I attack  If we go in, won't we have to endure the siege from Cao's army from all directions? This will become a long-lasting battle."

    Hearing this, Xu Shu was surprised and said:

    "Don't you think my lord wants to fight Cao Jun?"

    Li Zhe was stunned.

    "When did I say I was going to fight Cao Jun?"

    When Xu Shu heard this, his expression immediately changed.

    "Lord! Aren't all the measures you are taking now to prepare for the war with Cao Jun? Entering Nanyang to threaten Cao Jun's flanks; establishing a foothold in Dingying to threaten Cao Jun's heart; and building roads, establishing a post system, and the Transportation and Communications Department.  Aren¡¯t all the measures taken to strengthen our army¡¯s combat power for the upcoming battle with Cao¡¯s army?¡±

    When Li Zhe woke up, could what Xu Shu said be all military preparations for the war with Cao Jun?  He doesn¡¯t seem to have such a clear goal!

    "Lord! Cao Jun is probably ready to fight with our army. [*You] All kinds of intelligence and clues in the recent period reveal Cao Jun's various arrangements. Qiaojun has important generals Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuanrang  In charge, Chen County had Taishan guard Lu Qian and Lu Zike. In order to recruit Lu Zike, Cao Cao even asked Zang Ba, the Taishan thief, to guard Mount Tai. He didn't care at all that it was Zang Ba's hometown, which would increase Zang Ba's strength.  It will be very difficult to cure in the future. This is clearly because Cao Cao made a wish in advance to grant officials to local tycoons like Zang Ba in order to reduce the pressure on local governments."

    "Oh?" Li Zhe rubbed the stubble on his chin and thought carefully along Xu Shu's train of thought.

    "Also! Nanyang County has now discovered several grain teams from Jingzhou transporting grain to Cao Jun. Now Jingzhou does not trade grain with our army, but uses it to transport grain to Cao Jun's territory. Such a situation is really not a good intention.  !¡±

    "Then do you think that the grain and grass that Liu Jingzhou transported in large quantities in Jingzhou a few days ago were shipped to Cao Jun?"

    "That's right!" Xu Shu took a step forward and said: "The territory bordering Liu Jingsheng and Cao Jun is not only Nanyang under the rule of our army, but also Nanxiang County, Xinxing County, and many vast areas, which are under the rule of Cao Jun.  It borders Sizhou and Yongzhou. The smuggled grain and grass discovered by our army in Nanyang is probably just a drop in the ocean of smuggled grain and grass between the Cao and Liu families!"

    Hearing these words, Li Zhecai was shocked!

    This directly affected his and Xu Shu¡¯s judgment of the entire world situation beforehand!

    He and Xu Shu¡¯s judgment about Cao Cao in advance was based on the fact that Cao Cao was injured in the battle of Guanjundu and must have lacked military resources before the summer harvest.  At the time, such a conclusion was naturally extremely accurate.

    A behemoth like Cao Cao wants to mobilize troops, which is different from the small Runan County. A huge territory and a huge army mean huge consumption. Just the consumption of food and grass transported on the road every day is very staggering.  .

    Comparing Li Zhe and Cao Cao, due to their small territory, small scale, convenient communication and transportation efficiency, and relatively efficient organizational system, the materials consumed by Li Zhe in combat with the same military strength are probably less than one-tenth of Cao's army.

    Therefore, Li Zhe was correct in judging that Cao Jun was unable to fight Li Zhe's army.

    But if Liu Biao reconciles with Cao Jun and helps Cao Jun with food and grass, the situation will be different.

    Even though the long journey will cause a lot of waste, this is extra food and grass out of thin air, which will greatly alleviate Cao Jun's dilemma.  Moreover, due to the reconciliation between the two parties, the manpower and material resources released by both parties on border defense will have great effects once they come in and out.

    The situation has changed!

    Cao Jun will definitely attack!

      ¡­¡­

    To the north, Xudu, Cao Mansion.

    Above the lobby, all the generals gathered, with civil and military personnel assigned to their respective responsibilities, making the Cao Mansion today just like the court hall.

    "In the near future! Li Zhejun has sent General Zhao Yun to attack Yanxian County. Cao Zilian was defeated and returned to the city. Now the situation in Yanxian County is critical. We need to send troops to support as soon as possible. Everyone! If you have any clever ideas, tell them as soon as possible!" Cao Cao  He sat up high and said with a gloomy expression.

    ??Everyone was shocked.  Li Zhe?

    At this time, the situation of Li Zhe's army has not yet spread in Xudu. Except for a few important officials in Cao's army, many people still have the impression of Li Zhe as a magic stick like Zhang Jiao. Because of good luck, he accidentally  When Liu Bei died, he just picked up an enclave.

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it shock people¡¯s hearts to see such a sudden appearance?  Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, all important generals of Cao's army, were defeated by Li Zhe one after another.  If Cao Ren was defeated before, it can be said that he was accidentally attacked due to carelessness.  This time Cao Hong's army of nearly ten thousand was defeated, but no one dared to take a peek.

    For a moment, everyone was talking to each other with eyebrows, but none of them made any sense.

    A tall scribe stood up, tall and tall, but like a general. He was one of Cao Cao's important ministers, Cheng Li and Cheng Zhongde from Dongjun, Yanzhou.

    "Prime Minister! In my opinion, there is no need for clever tactics to deal with these people who fool people's hearts. It is enough to crush them with force and force with upright soldiers. These thieves are all good at running around and looting everywhere. I will wait until the time comes.  We must be on guard against the enemy. We must use several armies to besiege on all sides. When we reach a place, we will clear it out and trap all the thieves in it. This is the right way to approach step by step and crush the enemy army bit by bit.  "

    After hearing this strategy, most of the generals agreed.  What Cheng Li said was based on the experience of everyone fighting against the Yellow Turbans for more than ten years. It was most normal and nothing unusual.

    Guo Jia was snickering from the side, seemingly disapproving of it.

    When Cao Cao saw it, he pointed out:

    "Fengxiao! If you have any ideas, just tell me."

    Guo Jia walked out of the queue, cupped his hands and said:

    "Zhongde underestimated Li Zhe. Didn't you all see General Zilian's military report? When Li Zhe's army set up the formation, it was also a majestic formation. The troops were strict, and when they marched, crossbows and arrows were like rain, and there was an endless stream.  , General Zilian's front army was defeated in an instant, and the rear formation was like a landslide! The eight thousand army was destroyed in one day. Everyone, can such an army formation be compared with the Yellow Turban bandits?"

    When everyone in the hall heard this, they were immediately shocked and began to whisper uncontrollably.

    Does this little Li Zhe actually have such a powerful crossbow array?

    At this time, the general of Cao's army could not imagine the power of Li Zhe's army on the battlefield before he had truly seen the power of the large square formation!

    Crossbows and continuous crossbow formations are impossible to achieve in this era. On the one hand, the military formation training cannot be achieved, on the other hand, the logistics supply cannot be achieved, and the more fatal reason is that at this time  It is simply difficult for a crossbow machine to achieve such firing efficiency.  Without the exquisite mechanism of modern pulleys, it would be impossible for a heavy crossbow to be so labor-saving and fire continuously.

    Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the generals to believe in such a crossbow array before seeing the real thing thousands of miles away.  This so-called continuous attack, in everyone's mind, is probably nothing more than a few minutes of shooting.

    This kind of error in the understanding of information transmitted by military intelligence is inevitable even in modern times before the advent of real-life cameras. Human beings always tend to judge affairs based on their own experience. This is a flaw in human nature and there is really nothing we can do about it.  .

    However, although everyone did not understand it, they still had lingering fears about the strong crossbow.  During the battle with Yuan Shao, the large amount of ordnance that that man transported from the central arsenal gave the generals a huge headache.  If Liu Ye hadn't been responsible for organizing the craftsmen who invented the Thunderbolt Car, it would have been doomed.

    The development of every military technology in this world is a chain of links, mutually reinforcing and interfering, and will never end.

    Everyone could not help but look at Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang who had made great achievements that day.  Now he is Guo Jia's deputy and is responsible for confidential matters both inside and outside his hands.

    Liu Ye had to stand up and say:

    "Thunderbolt chariots can reach far, and if there are a large number of troops following them, they can restrain strong crossbows."

    Once these words are spoken, all the generals will feel at ease!

    ¡­¡­

    Xiangyang, Liu Jingsheng's mansion.

    "Brother! Why can't we send troops to Nanyang? How cruel was Li Zhe? Not only did he defeat our army, but he also ignored Nanyang's crown and massacred it! How can such evil deeds be tolerated?"Liu Jingsheng was lying on the bed, with a sick look on his face, but his expression was still gloomy, and he shouted sternly:

    "Degui! Don't talk nonsense! What do you know about military affairs? How cautious I am in this troubled world. I have worked hard for more than ten years to build this business. You almost destroyed it! You go there  You are so selfish that I even hid it for you. I didn¡¯t expect that you are so confused now that you actually took advantage of me to ruin my major affairs while I was seriously ill in bed! I need to know that you repeatedly encouraged me to use troops against the north, all because of your own family.  How could I not know the reason for personal enmity. But now it¡¯s like this, youyouyou! It¡¯s really not enough to succeed, but more than enough to fail!

    "This Li Zhe is certainly ferocious, but Cao Mengde is even more terrifying to us!"  Now that the Cao and Li families are fighting for victory, it is a good opportunity for us. Now that Cao is strong and Li Zhe is weak, it is we who support Li Zhe and make them fight more vigorously. At this moment when we are blocking the situation in the north, how can we compete with Li Zhe?  Enmity?  Do you think I don¡¯t even know about Kuai and Li Zhe¡¯s reselling of grain and grass?  That was clearly supported by me!  You, you!  It really makes me mad!  "

    I think such a major military matter is not your strength. From now on, you should not participate in it!  "
