NOVEL NEXT Three Kingdoms Star System
Chapter 437
Chapter 437
Cao Cao ordered the killing of several officials before, on the one hand to deter those officials with evil intentions, and on the other hand to unify his thoughts. At this time, he did not want his officials to be inconsistent with his thoughts, so as not to affect the overall situation of the war with Liu He.
It was not until this time that Cao Cao deeply realized the disadvantages of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes. He had relied on this strategy to hold the emperor hostage in his own hands. He had indeed gained great benefits. At least he could legitimately control himself. The civil and military officials under his command were appointed as court officials. Although the actual treatment was similar to that of other warlords, and even worse than that of some warlords, such as Liu He's officials, these were officials officially appointed by the court. In form It is definitely different. As a minister, even if you say such a thing, it is very honorable.
It is also for this reason that many gentry and celebrities have gathered under his command. The talents under his command may not be talented, but their influence in the ruling and opposition parties is definitely very large.
But another problem also emerged. The loyalty of these people was really worrying. Cao Cao didn't know whether they were loyal to the court or to him, so Cao Cao's heartstrings were always very tight and he was suspicious of many officials. It is precisely because of this that he is ruthless and ruthless towards those who dare to rebel against him, whether they are close friends or close friends, such as Xu You before, Cui Yan and Mao Jie not long ago, etc. people.
From this point of view, Cao Cao was showing mercy to Xun Yu only when he rose up or down secretly.
Although it seems cruel, Cao Cao's shots these few times have indeed had miraculous effects. Under his high pressure, no one in Chaozhong dared to propose a peace or surrender. Everything is only Cao Cao's lead, and the efficiency of the government has never been more efficient. .
And those generals were all replaced by Cao Cao's confidants. These people led the army to drill day and night, and were on high alert. According to Cao Cao's orders, they dug dozens of trenches outside the city, built dozens of mountains, and tried their best to create defenses. The equipment is always waiting to fight against Liu He's army when they attack the city.
However, what they didn't expect was that Liu He did not launch an attack on Xu Capital City, but led a large army to besiege Xu Capital City. Dozens of camps were set up outside the city. It made the guards in the city feel bitter and powerless.
The other party did not launch an attack, but camped outside the city. This was more intimidating than attacking, like a giant beast ready to choose and devour at any time. If they really launched an attack, their hearts would calm down, anyway. It's just a counterattack, what's the point?But if they don't attack now, even if they want to fight back, they don't know how to fight back.
Seeing this scene of Liu He's army outside the city, even Cao Cao felt his scalp tingle, because even he couldn't think of a strategy to deal with it. Liu He's approach was too cunning.
Although I said before that as time goes by, the morale of the opponent's army will gradually fade, but that is when the opponent's siege is frustrated, but the problem now is that the opponent has not attacked the city at all, so naturally there will be no setbacks. However, our own side will completely decline in morale due to the reduction of food and grass day by day.
What makes people laugh even more is that as the other party besieged Xu Capital City like an iron barrel, food and grass from various places could no longer be transported in, and the truckloads of food and grass that could save lives were probably burned by Liu He. , or was forcibly confiscated by Liu He. In short, a month has passed, and not a grain of grain has entered Xudu City!
"Liu He Xiao'er's move is so cruel. In half a year, this battle will no longer need to be fought. All the soldiers and civilians in our city will starve to death even if they are hungry." Thinking of Liu He's actions Cao Cao couldn't help but grit his teeth with this rogue style of play.
At this time, Cao Hong laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this, because we are consuming food and grass, and the other party is also consuming food and grass, and because his army is outside the city, the food and grass consumption rate is faster than ours. Hong believes that the other party Absolutely can't support much time."
But Cao Cao snorted, "It would be great if it was as simple as you imagined. You, Murphy, don't know how vast a place Liu He now occupies? Not to mention, the Guanzhong area is a rare big granary in the world." , Liu He can continuously transport food and grass from there, but what about us? Our food and grass are limited, and we eat less, if we really struggle with them, who will suffer in the end?"
"Well, what my lord said seems to make sense, so what should we do? We can't lead the army out and burn Liu He's camp, right?" Cao Hong wiped his sweat and shook his head helplessly.
At this time, the young general Cao Zhen said: "Uncle, what Uncle Zi Lian said is not unreasonable. We can't just be passive like this forever? Rather than that, why don't we give him a sneak attack, anyway, so much time has passed, I don't believe that Liu He can calculate that we will rob the camp. In fact, we don't need a big victory, we only need a small victory. As long as the morale of our army is boosted, it means that the morale of the enemy army will start to drop. Let's test the enemy's reality in this battle. To be honest, my nephew has never believed that Liu He has mobilized 20 troops to besiege the city of Xu. After all, Liu He is still governing the people with a benevolent attitude on the surface , This means that the proportion of soldiers and civilians under his rule will not be too high, plus he will divide his troops to guard Lujiang, Jiangxia, Hanzhong, Xiangyang and Beijiang, plus the soldiers who attack Dongjun, Luoyang and Hongnong, nephew I imagine that the maximum number of people he will attack Xudu will not exceed 20, and the [-] troops will be scattered among dozens of camps. Which of his camps?"
"According to what you mean, Zhener, is it possible that we are really going to rob the camp?" Cao Cao asked casually after hearing Cao Zhen's words, and then said to the civil and military: "Everyone also discuss together, whether we should To rob the camp?"
At this time, Sima Yi said: "In my opinion, instead of sitting here and waiting to die, we should go and test the truth. Yi also thinks that Liu He will never guess where the target of our actions is, and as long as he If we can’t guess where we’re going, we’ve won.”
"Oh? So Zhongda agrees?" Seeing Sima Yi's clear statement, Liu He nodded and said: "Actually, I also think we should do this, but who should rob the camp remains to be seen. Negotiate.”
"There is nothing to discuss. I think General Zidan is definitely qualified." Sima Yi looked at Cao Zhen and said seriously.
