Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1663 Yuzhou Battlefield
In April, the atmosphere of war became more and more serious.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, more than half of the country of the Han Dynasty has been divided, and now a decisive battle is breaking out on the grounds of subverting the world and rebuilding order.

And the Ming army, as the most powerful soldiers and horses in the world, is now mobilized quickly, which makes people feel the determination of the Ming court this time, and the princes of all walks of life in the Central Plains have become nervous.

Cao Cao couldn't sit still after all.

He went south to the front himself.

On the front line of Yuzhou, Yingchuan County was established.

There is a tense atmosphere in Yingchuan County, not only the people are nervous, but also those big and wealthy families have become nervous.

They are afraid that if a big war breaks out, it will hurt themselves.

Therefore, many wealthy families and aristocratic families are trying their best to find a way out. Some people are going north and are planning to move to Yanzhou, and some intend to cross the border and enter the Ming Realm for refuge.

Everyone has their own choice.

Let Yingchuan, a county with a very strong academic atmosphere in the past, become a large county in turmoil today.

However, the presence of Wei Jun suppressed many people's worries.

The main force of the Wei army has been continuously heading south from Guandu.

I started resting last year. Although there is not enough time, and the combat effectiveness is only [-] to [-]% at most, it can also give Wei Jun some combat effectiveness.

As a vanguard general, Lu Bu personally led the army, crossed Yingchuan County, and marched to Ruzhou, which was the former Runan County.

Compared with being beaten passively, Wei Jun has a more intention to strike first.

Of course, at this moment, Lu Bu still restrained himself.

Hearing that Cao Cao had won, he quickly returned from the front line to the county mansion in Yingchuan County, and went there to report his duties in person.

"The last general, Lu Bu, pay homage to the king!"

Lu Bu saluted respectfully.

"The general has armor on his body, so there is no need to be polite!" Cao Cao put on his long robe and stood in front of the battle sand table.

The sand table, a good thing that can directly describe the battlefield in three dimensions, has now become an essential tool on the battlefield, not just for the Ming army.

Wei Jun also built a sand table in the large and small camps. Every general will have his own combat sand table.

In front of Cao Cao is a sand table that covers the entire front.

From east to west, stretching for hundreds of miles, there are battle lines. This battle line is the dividing line between the Ming army and the Wei army, and it is also the current buffer line between the two armies.

"Fengxian, what's going on at the front line?"

Cao Cao asked in a low voice.

"We took stock of the information exchanged by Yelou's spies and scouts just now. At present, the main force of the Ming army, the two soldiers of Jingping and Violent Bear, have all gathered in the front line!"

Lu Bu cupped his hands and reported softly: "Among the Ming army, Jingping is the direct descendant of Ming thieves. Jingping's army has more than [-] troops, and the Violent Bear army has not many troops, but they are fierce soldiers. At present, the Ming army They have assembled more than a hundred thousand elites, and in the front line, a war may break out at any time!"

"Have you crossed the border?"

Cao Cao asked.

"That's not true!" Lu Bu said, "I tried twice with cavalry, and they pursued them, but every time they stopped at the border of Yuzhou, and they didn't have the slightest intention of crossing the border and pursuing them!"

"His Majesty!"

Guo Jia stood up next to the elegant literati in Tsing Yi, cupped his hands and said, "The Ming army did not cross the border to fight, which shows that they don't want to go to war yet, and are still preparing for it!"

"But we can't get them ready!"

Another scribe in a gray robe smiled and said softly: "It's a terrible thing for the Ming army to accumulate strength, but as far as the main force of the Ming army is concerned, they just put the Jingping army and the Violent Bear army here. Not necessarily the target is us!"

"Wen He means that these troops are just to hold back the main force of our Wei army?" Cao Cao squinted his eyes, looking at the sand table, his eyes were a little gloomy.

He felt underestimated.

"Although I'm not reconciled, but in fact, if they don't continue to increase their troops, then it means that it is not our Yuzhou that they want to attack!"

The gray-robed scribe is Jia Xu, and Jia Xu is now one of Cao Cao's most trusted advisors. How could he go out without bringing his confidant advisors with him? He controls the night building and is the one who controls the movement of the battlefield.

"That being said, you can't be blinded by a single leaf!"

Guo Jia shook his head: "Ming thieves are best at attacking east and west. Before they fully explode their fighting power, none of us know their target!"

A group of princes besieged the Ming Realm before, and that battle could be regarded as a battle where all the princes fought together. They were all considering the main purpose of the Ming army. They thought they were the target, but the Ming army had already started the war. Use the HNA route to attack Jianyedu from the East China Sea.

This battle almost broke Jiangdong's spine.

Sun Jian died in battle.

Jiang Dong almost limped.

Even if Sun Ce rises, although Sun Ce is courageous and resourceful, compared with Sun Jian, he lacks not one and a half minutes of deterrent power, and there is no way to subdue Jiangdong.

The sharpness that sank Jiangdong in World War I also almost sank the pride of all their advisers.

"indeed so!"

Jia Xu nodded, agreeing, and said softly: "We really can't rely too much on the judgment of the Ming army to make a decision. Sometimes the tougher they are, the harder they will fight!"

"Mulongtu is really difficult to deal with!"

Cao Cao showed a bitter smile.

He claims that he is not weaker than the people in the world, but in the hands of Mu Jing, he has been repeatedly injured, his reputation has plummeted, and he almost can't control the people inside.

Even if Mujing is an enemy, he has to be admired a little.

"Mulongtu is indeed difficult to deal with, but he is not the only one who is difficult to deal with. Among the Ming army, there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers!" Jia Xu said softly.

"Has Mujing gone north?"

Cao Cao asked suddenly.

"There is no news for the time being, but there is news from inside that Mulongtu has the heart to go north, and wants to conquer the emperor himself, and fight to win the world!"

Jia Xu replied.

"One battle to tie the world, what a big ambition!" Cao Cao sneered.

He knew that Mujing had the ambition to rule the world, but this ambition was not only his own, but also his own. Why didn't all the princes have the same idea.

But it has to be done.

Although he admits that the Ming army is very strong, and the new weapons of the Ming army have a huge deterrent effect, but this does not mean that the Ming army dominates the world.

The new weapons of the Ming army seemed mighty, but in fact they were not very lethal. Later, they tried to restore the discussion on the battlefield, but found that more battle damage was not caused by their weapons, but by This kind of unexpected deterrence, but the turmoil in the army formation, the instant defeat caused by the formation, and the trampling effect caused by it will be defeated for thousands of miles.

If they prepared in advance, even if the Ming army had this new type of weapon in their hands, they could still defend the city. The city wall was high and thick. No matter how strong this new type of weapon was, it would take a lot of money to break through the city wall.

He didn't believe that the Ming army could supply you with such a powerful new weapon.

Cao Cao believes that the final victory still depends on the strength of both sides. With the strength of the Wei army, it may not be able to win the battle, but the three princes, with a combined strength of millions of troops, he does not believe that they cannot fight in one battle.

"My lord, the fact that the Ming army is still able to restrain themselves is more because of Mu Jing's words back then. The emperor made a promise that cannot be repeated. It is related to the reputation of the Ming court!"

Guo Jia said softly: "So they may want to use the situation to force us to cross the border first. As long as our army crosses the border first, they will have sufficient reasons to go to war!"

"Forcing us to do it first?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes: "Then you mean that as long as we hold our breath, they will have nothing to do!"

"At least it can be delayed for a while!"

Guo Jia smiled, and said: "Mu Jing still has to face, otherwise he wouldn't have been so devious, he would have directly crossed the border and broken the city, drove straight in, and suppressed the battlefield in the territory of Yuzhou, instead of waiting for us to start the war!"

He also analyzed Mujing a little bit, at least he thought that Mujing would not be that kind of unscrupulous emperor.

"We need time to rest!"

Guo Jia continued: "Your Majesty, the combat power of the current army is at most 20% to [-]%. If we give us another two or three months, we can recover [-]% of the combat power. With our current [-] main force going south, there is at least hope that we can recover." Runan County can even invade Nanyang, if Jiangdong and the North cooperate, it is not impossible to enter Jingxiang!"

"Then drag it on!"

Cao Cao thought for a while, then said thoughtfully: "But we have to show them the intention of fighting, and we can't let them see it. We really want to procrastinate!"

He added: "Another [-] troops recruited by Xuzhou were ordered to enter Yuzhou from Xiaoguan, and prepare to enter Ruyin. Once the time is right, they will march on the east and west fronts. We must fight to recover Runan and enter Nanyang! "

His ambition is not big, he doesn't want to defeat the Ming army at once, but just wants to recover the country step by step, Runan, Nanyang, which were the number one counties in the world in the past, is his goal.

"promise!"

Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Lu Bu and other generals handed over their hands and stood by.

....................................

On the front line of Ruzhou, Nanzhou, the Ming army is the main battalion.

The big camp was built at the foot of an unnamed mountain, with a clear river beside it. It was defended by the mountain and defended by the water. The tents stretched for more than ten miles.

The main account of the Chinese army.

Huang Zhong's tall and burly body, wearing heavy armor, stood in front of the huge and detailed sand table, surrounded by leading generals and participating generals.

"Does Wei Jun have the heart to test today?"

Huang Zhong asked in a low voice.

"Not yet!"

The one who answered him was Chen Dao, the Zhonglang of Jingping First Army.

Chen Dao is young, strong in martial arts, and strong in qualifications. From the captain of the Jingping Camp back then, he has stepped up to the position of the No. 1 general of the Jingping First Army and the No. [-] general of Mu Jing's lineage. His steps are very solid.

The skin on his body has been released, revealing a brand new battle armor, a pair of sharp tiger eyes, staring at the mountains and rivers in the sand table: "Three days ago, I fought fiercely on the plains outside Ruyang City. I lost to Lu Bu, But it also blocked the temptation of Lu Bu's [-] cavalry, and since then, Lu Bu has retreated for [-] li without moving!"

"Lu Fengxian is not a person who admits defeat easily!"

Huang Zhong said coldly.

In this battle, the imperial court had already made a strategic deployment, and once again he became a defensive general. Although he was unhappy, the military order was like a mountain.

Moreover, he is also very clear about the importance of the Yuzhou front. The strongest opponent of the Ming army is always the Wei army.

This is a daunting task.

"Although he doesn't admit defeat, he's not stupid either. He's afraid he won't be able to get out when he crosses the border at this time!" Zhao Wei participated in the discussion for the position of general in the military department this time, and his mood was also complicated.

He said in a low voice: "My lord, now that the Wei army has tried many times, but they have not sent troops to cross the border, do they also hope that we can enter Yuzhou first?"

"This idea is correct!"

Huang Zhong sneered, and said: "They thought we wouldn't dare to break our promise, but in fact we didn't dare, but His Majesty's words are very correct. Things can't be said, but they can be done. As long as there is a reason to cross the border, There is nothing we dare not do!"

"Then, my lord, next, how should we mobilize the main force!"

Zhou Cang, the representative of the Violent Bear Army, cupped his hands and asked.

"Wenpin, what do you think?" Huang Zhong was very optimistic about Wenpin, the general of the Violent Bear Second Army, and suddenly asked Wenpin.

"Lure the enemy to attack!"

Wenpin has always been silent, but he is not a timid person. Since Huang Zhong asked, he said that meritorious service is still one aspect. If he is underestimated, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the army.

"Luring the enemy to attack?"

Meng Huo thought for a moment.

This barbarian king has completely integrated into Daming now, not because he wants to, but because he has no way not to.

Because of the changes in Nanzhong these years, he understood that the barbarians had no hope of independence, when the barbarians began to be affected by the lives of the people in the Central Plains.

No one is willing to support his rebellion anymore.

He also gave up.

In fact, there is no harm in supporting the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, at least the Ming court has not discriminated against the barbarian tribes. The attitude that the Han people should have, the barbarians also have.

This is his most gratifying thing.

Although he doesn't control the barbarian soldiers, he is also the leader of an army. He is quite influential in Jingping's army.

He asked, "What if our bait is eaten by them, but they don't cross the border?"

"Some things, if you do it, you do it!"

Wenpin shrugged and said softly: "Your Majesty once said that every soldier of the Ming Dynasty is very precious. If our soldiers are missing in their territory, it is only natural for us to enter the country to search for them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals looked at him in unison, with a pair of eyes, some curious, some surprised, some admiring, and some even contemptuous.

You can say this kind of reason, and you are not afraid that Confucian celebrities will drown you with their saliva.

But these words made Huang Zhong laugh out loud: "That's a good idea. The soldiers of Ming Dynasty are indeed very precious. If they are missing, they must be found!"

He is not a pedantic person, as long as there is a reason, as long as His Majesty's reputation is not damaged, and Daming's reputation is not involved, he can bear all the crimes by himself.

"My lord, think twice!"

General Zhang Song cupped his hands and said softly: "Although this plan is useful, it may not go well. Once it is discovered, Daming will face a big problem!"

"It's okay!"

Huang Zhong waved his hand: "Your Majesty has orders, fight!"
