Julu is located in the Central Plains, a vast and fertile land, it is a good place.
If the giant deer can be captured, the rich local agricultural resources will all belong to it.
Since ancient times, food and grass have been the first priority in wars, which also shows that food and grass are the top priority when marching and fighting.
And the giant deer is no different from a granary.
If the giant deer can be taken down, it will definitely be of great help to the military.
That's why Cao Cao is so inevitable.
And Zhou Hao naturally also took a fancy to Julu.
However, Zhou Hao is currently busy with retreating and practicing, and he hasn't ordered soldiers to attack the giant deer for a while.
But Cao Cao obviously couldn't hold his breath, so he said such words while drinking and celebrating.
"Since the lord wants to take down the giant deer, he will fully cooperate in the end. I don't know what the lord plans to do next?"
Seeing that Cao Cao was so determined, a general hurriedly cupped his hands and asked for instructions.
That's right, this general loves fighting very much, and he is also very anxious, wanting to see Cao Cao unify the world as soon as possible.
In his eyes, Cao Cao is like omnipotent, and he is extremely loyal to Cao Cao.
"The widow will personally order troops to take down the giant deer before Zhou Hao, and we can't let him get there first!"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he drank the wine in his hand.
"The final general is willing to go with the lord!"
"it is good!"
After another round of drinking and clinking glasses, Cao Cao went to the barracks to order soldiers in person.
Not long after, the counting of soldiers was over, and the army went directly to the direction where the giant deer was.
But Cao Cao didn't expect to meet Liu Bei's people on the road.
Cao Cao was still very optimistic about Liu Bei at first, thinking that he really had a plan.
But after Liu Bei willingly took refuge in Zhou Hao's army, Cao Cao's impression of him changed drastically.
He didn't expect that the coach of one side would be so easy to take the initiative to seek refuge with another force stronger than himself.
However, Cao Cao did not take it lightly. After the soldiers who explored the road reported the incident, Cao Cao ordered the whole army to move slowly, while he was thinking about how to treat Liu Bei's people.
On Liu Bei's side, he also got news that he had encountered Cao Cao's army.
"Mr. Zhuge, it seems that Cao Cao wants to occupy Julu!"
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and said slowly.
Zhuge Liang nodded: "Yes!"
"Isn't our lord also interested in the Julu place?
I have to say that Julu is indeed a good place. How about we occupy Julu and give our lord a surprise? "
Liu Bei's eyes lit up suddenly, and he suggested aloud.
Zhuge Liang shook his gossip fan and thought about it for a while, then decided to refuse.
But Liu Bei directly clapped the bricks and said, "That's it! My lord treats me well. I have to give him a surprise and prove my strength to him."
As soon as the voice fell, Liu Bei ordered the whole army to step forward, and everything Zhuge Liang wanted to say was blocked back.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Bei and Cao Cao's army met, Liu Bei discovered that his army was far inferior to Cao Cao's.
Liu Bei was shocked, he seemed to have made a mistake!
Chapter 278 Waiting for an Opportunity to Sneak Attack
Cao Cao led at least 30 soldiers this time, while Liu Bei only led 10.
This number is really too big, Cao Cao's army is three times that of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei couldn't help but secretly hated himself for being too impulsive. He wanted to take down the giant deer, but he underestimated Cao Cao.
"Mr. Zhuge, what should I do?"
Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang in a panic.
Before Zhuge Liang didn't directly answer whether Liu Bei should meet Cao Cao's army, Liu Bei made a decision.
But at this time, Liu Bei realized that he had done something wrong, and he turned around and asked Zhuge Liang what to do.
Zhuge Liang secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that he made the right choice at the beginning, although Liu Bei is indeed a wise man, but in terms of combat, Zhou Hao really lost too much.
A Mingjun should not only rely on virtue, but also virtue and talent.
Obviously, only Zhou Hao possesses these three aspects the most.
In fact, Zhuge Liang had expected the current situation a long time ago.
The reason why he didn't stop it was firstly because he had a way to deal with it, and secondly because he wanted to make Liu Bei suffer.
As the saying goes, if you live in a pit, you will gain wisdom. If you want to assist Zhou Hao to rule the world, Liu Bei will undoubtedly be a very important person.
Liu Bei's ability to fight is not strong, but he is good and wise. Many people are willing to follow him, and many people will trust him.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and Liu Bei should give full play to his unique talents.
It's just that he has only joined Zhou Hao not long ago, and it hasn't been a long time before he changed from the role of the lord to a subordinate, so he needs to get used to it, and use this to realize how much he really is.
It is important for a person to have self-knowledge, to bring out one's own advantages, hide one's disadvantages, and maximize one's strengths to avoid one's weaknesses, in order to maximize one's own value.
Obviously, Zhuge Liang wanted the same thing to let Liu Bei officially know where his value lies.
"Don't worry, we have the final say on how many soldiers we have, not Cao Cao."
Zhuge Liang shook his gossip fan, and said with a smile on his lips.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei was stunned.
What does Mr. Zhuge mean by this?
What does it mean that he has the final say on how many soldiers he has?
