The Leisurely City of Single-player Travelers Volume 4: The Invincible Heroes of the Three Kingdoms 297 Undeclared War

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The so-called diplomacy often means establishing common interests.  Everyone has the same interests and everyone can make money, so they join forces.  When everyone discovered that their interests were conflicting, they fell out.

    Yuyan¡¯s head was running at full speed, calculating all kinds of benefits

    The Nanman is now like a lonely hunter, facing the siege of three evil wolves.

    What he wants to do may be as simple as throwing out a piece of meat.

    So, Nanman entered another round of crazy diplomatic rhythm.

    On the third day of the 19th week, Cao Cao personally mobilized his army and arrived at Hanzhong City.

    Although the southern barbarian flag was still hanging on top of the city, there was only a gust of cold wind blowing through it, and there was no trace of popularity.

    This is nonsense. It was originally Cemetery City.

    Cao Cao's figure is not as bloated as expected. What is bloated is that of officials like Zhang Lu. People with a sense of urgency like Cao Cao pay great attention to physical exercise.

    In addition, his appearance is very peaceful, and he does not have a domineering air, which is also a must-have temperament in officialdom.

    He frowned and looked at the city, deep in thought.

    The one-eyed general looked at his distant cousin and knew that he had begun to assume the worst again.

    This cousin is very suspicious, and his first reaction when seeing the empty city is definitely not happiness, but suspicion.

    Cao Cao thought for a long time, turned around and asked, "When was the last time the pigeon came?"

    Cao Cao was extremely cautious in sending troops, knowing that intelligence was the top priority. The previous Nanman defeat of Zhang Fei's army and the capture of Hanzhong were all blind spots of intelligence by surprise troops.  Naturally, a veteran like him cannot make that kind of mistake. It is very obvious that a surprise attack on the Chang'an path can cut off the retreat of Cao Cao's army.  It's as obvious as the battle in Chibi being attacked by fire.

    Cao Cao had suffered losses, so he was naturally more cautious during the war, which was obscene and trivial.  Carrier pigeons and the like are sent every half a day to report the situation to the front line at any time, as long as there is the slightest movement on Nanman, Sima, and Liu Bei.  He would withdraw his troops at full speed without hesitation.

    Xiahou Dun looked at the wrinkles of his distant cousin and felt that he was worrying too much.

    "Back to my lord, the military advisor just came to report two hours ago. The three parties are in a stalemate and there is no change. My lord can quickly take Hanzhong."

    "Well" Cao Cao looked at the empty city.  He laughed at himself and said, "I'm worrying too much. All troops, enter the city!"

    Cao Cao was indeed overly worried. There was not a single zombie here. After the Ma family recruited all their troops, they didn¡¯t know where they fled. In short, such an important place in Hanzhong was captured so easily.

    But he still couldn't be happy.  His gut feelings over the years had made him feel uncomfortable.

    This time he went on an expedition with some reservations. He only took one general, Xiahou Dun, with Guo Jia to stay in Xudu and the other Xiahou Yuan.  Cao Ren and other generals stationed themselves in various cities to prevent unexpected events.

    After occupying Hanzhong, the first thing he did was to enter the conference hall and hold a staff meeting.

    Guo Jia had also calculated the time and arrived at the Xuchang Assembly Hall, waiting for Cao Cao's call.

    Several generals also arrived as promised.

    Everyone said that their territory was very stable.  Nothing wrong.

    Cao Cao rubbed his beard stubble and frowned deeply.

    Guo Jia naturally knew what to say at this time.  He was basically the person who knew Cao Cao best and was also Cao Cao's most caring adviser. It was a pity that he died young.

    He had witnessed Cao Cao hesitate again and again, including when he fought against Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu. Cao Cao always wanted to attack when he was sure to win, and he always hesitated when he was not completely sure.

    Every time, it was Guo Jia who strengthened the lord's confidence with clear logic.

    ?????????????????????????????? At this time, he needs a smart guy to persuade him and help him clear his blind spots.

    "My lord, the situation is very good now, we can go south and take Chengdu." Guo Jia began to use his confidence to cheer up his lord.

    "Some, it's too smooth." Cao Cao was not so easily persuaded this time. "Hu¨¡ Yan, Sima Yi, Kong Ming, who is not shrewd to the bone, can you watch me swallow Xi Shu so logically?"

    "My lord, you are worrying too much. It is because they are smart and choose to wait and see." Guo Jia was full of confidence. "The foundation of our alliance is interests. In order to eliminate the powerful enemy, everyone divided the southern barbarian territory. After all, what Liu Bei and Sima faced  We are the main force of the Southern Barbarians and do not dare to act rashly; the Southern Barbarians are aware that the master is suspicious and want to slow down the pace of our alliance and lead our alliance to chaos. At this time, it is better to think too much than not to think at all. Our army will fight all the way and create a gap, and the Southern Barbarians will definitely endure it.  If you don't wait, we will all come together to fight, and then Liu Bei and Sima can open up the situation."

    "It's different." CaoCao sighed and clicked on the map, "Our army is going deep into Shu territory alone. This is a taboo for military strategists. If the southern barbarians encircle the retreat, they may lose support."

    At this time, Guo Jia¡¯s eyebrows turned and he suddenly became angry.

    ¡°My lord, doesn¡¯t he believe in us generals?!¡±

    ""

    "How can the mob of Southern Barbarians defeat General Xiahou, who has experienced hundreds of battles? The Southern Barbarians have come to cut off my retreat, and it will only take one battle. Why should I, the Wei Dynasty, be afraid?!"

    "Fengxiao said so happily!"  , am I, Xiahou Dun, so unbearable? Can¡¯t I even defeat a bunch of barbarians I¡¯ve never met before?!¡±

    Xiahou Dun seemed to express the grievances of the important generals. Cao Hong in Runan, Cao Ren in Xinye, and Xiahou Yuan in Xuchang were also eager to fight.

    "My lord, we have been seizing empty towns and small towns to avoid the enemy's main force, which has undermined the prestige of our army!"

    "No matter how scary the barbarians are, how can the Shu army be more terrifying? No matter how scheming and shrewd the Shu army is? My lord, there is no need to doubt it! If we unite Western Shu, we will defend the key points to the death!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Obviously, every one of the Wei soldiers is very hungry and thirsty. They are all generals who have experienced great life and death. It is always uncomfortable to hang around like this.

    When Cao Cao saw the generals asking for battle, he was slightly shaken.

    "Yes, what are you afraid of? The whole world has been conquered, why are you afraid of a southern barbarian?"

    Seeing this, Guo Jia said: "My lord is afraid that the fight with the Nanman will be too fierce. Let others take advantage of the loophole, right?"

    Cao Cao was convinced and said with a wry smile: "Fengxiao knows my heart. Sometimes, it's not that I'm suspicious, but that the enemies are too scheming. Zhongda and Kongming are our ultimate enemies. Although we allied to defeat the barbarians, these people can't  Don¡¯t be defensive.¡±

    Guo Jia is obviously well-prepared for this: "In this case, the lord can avoid a hard battle. Instead, Zhongda is forced to fight, and Kong Ming starts a war."

    "how do I say this?"

    "If the main force of the Southern Barbarians comes to rescue, my lord will not fight with them. We will seize the city all the way. If the Southern Barbarians send the Northern Army to fight, we will fight all the way south; if the Southern Barbarians send the Southern Army to fight, we will go north to fight. If the Southern Barbarians come here,  The strategy is to survive with a broken arm. Chang'an and Yong'an will surely be lost. At that time, Liu Bei and Sima will advance forward and attack the barbarians along the way, and they will be unable to plot against our great Wei."

    Cao Cao thought about the battle situation at that time and exclaimed: "In this way, didn't our army go deeper into Shu? We went back and forth with the main force of the barbarian army to contain it. Instead, those two families took advantage."

    "Hahaha, it's just a fine line between gaining advantage and suffering loss." Guo Jia laughed loudly and unfolded the map, "Lord, we are located in the Central Plains and are surrounded by enemies. If we occupy the Nanman city all the way, we will be like the Nanban people now.  , heads and tails must not care about each other, therefore. Our primary purpose in this battle should not be to seize the city. The conquest of Shu is just to give the Southern Barbarians a warning and force them to relent. When the Southern Barbarians are in a state of embarrassment, we can make peace with the Southern Barbarians and exploit them.  The southern barbarians had to accept the huge tribute and indemnity in order to survive.¡±

    "Well, yes, this is equivalent to paying some money and buying an ally."

    "At that time, the southern barbarians' front line will change from three to two, and they will definitely counterattack Sima and Liu Bei. As for our army, after receiving the compensation, if the southern barbarians attack Sima, we will attack Sima's rear; if the southern barbarians attack Liu Bei, we will attack Liu Bei's rear.  !¡±

    "Wonderful!" Cao Cao exclaimed, "Fengxiao, if you hadn't gone early, Cao might have been able to see the day when he could unify the world in his lifetime!"

    Guo Jia humbly said: "This is a dangerous plan, risk your life and survive. Therefore, my lord, please march quickly. With the arrogance of my great Wei army to defeat the southern barbarians, I can negotiate with the other party quickly. My lord, please be sure to march as quickly as possible."  !¡±

    Cao Cao smiled and said: "It seems that my worrying too much has delayed our army's opportunity to fight. I will bear the blame for this, and all the generals can scold them."

    The ministers bowed one after another: "My lord is wise."

    "Okay." Cao Cao was successfully brainwashed by Guo Jia again, "The whole army will obey the order, go south to Chengdu, and pacify Western Shu in one fell swoop!"

    The generals cheered, finally waiting for a day of pride and pride.

    The soldiers were very fast, so Cao Cao marched quickly and captured the empty city of Zitong again.

    After quickly capturing the two Nanman cities, the other three parties still remained motionless.

    Whenever Cao Cao was doubtful, Guo Jia and the generals would encourage him to dispel Cao Cao's doubts.

    In this way, Cao Cao's army left Zitong and continued southward.

    Half a day later, the carrier pigeon came to report that Deng Aijun abandoned Yongan and rushed towards Chengdu.

    After reading it, Cao Cao sighed: "Sure enough, Chengdu still can't bear to lose it."

    So, according to Guo Jia¡¯s previous strategy, all?Turn around and attack north, with the goal of stabilization.

    Only an hour later, the second homing pigeon arrived.

    Cao Cao knew something was wrong as soon as he saw the pigeon.

    Ma Tengjun, who had been missing before, suddenly emerged from the shadows of the map and quickly took Hanzhong.

    In this way, Cao Jun was completely isolated.

    But on this point alone, Cao Cao is not panicking. This kind of thing is almost certain to happen. Guo Jia once again gave Cao Cao a reassurance. Nanman has taken the initiative to contact Xuchang to discuss a truce. The two sides are discussing compensation, city compensation and other conditions.

    So, Cao Jun rushed back to Zitong while waiting for news from the rear.

    At this time, the situation became a diplomatic battle between several giant advisers.

    After the troops returned to Zitong, Guo Jia still failed to negotiate successfully, so Guo Jia asked Cao Cao to go north again to put pressure on the southern barbarians. At the same time, Liu Bei (Jin Xuan) had taken Yong'an, and Deng Ai's return defense caused the eastern defense line to collapse instantly, dragging down the troops.  , the Southern Barbarians will lose all Western Shu.

    Cao Cao knew very well the principle of not trusting people when employing them and not using them when he was suspicious. At this time, he could only hand over full power to Guo Jia in the rear.

    Cao Cao fought all the way over, but now he had to retreat all the way.  In his eyes, the defenders of Hanzhong were nothing more than a group of rats. Now that the main force was here, there was nothing to fear.

    In this way, after a week, he finally returned to Hanzhong City.  !  ~!
