Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1792
Xi Zhicai still doesn't agree with Mu Jing's boldness.

Mu Jing thought that this was his best decision, and he said with a smile: "Zhicai, if the Wei army dare not attack, it can only mean that they are waiting for us to run out of food, so they will definitely not give us the opportunity to transport food." Going north, chasing and intercepting them is inevitable!"

He paused, and then said: "If they want to guess our route to the north to transport grain, the first thing is to try to figure out how I act. If they collect enough cases, they will have a chance to judge how I am. Do it, so no matter how I choose, it will be very difficult to escape their calculations, if so, why do I still have such thoughts!"

"But……"

Only Xi Zhi could understand Mu Jing's thoughts, but the worry in his heart did not diminish at all. After all, this was a key decision concerning whether the entire Ming army could survive this severe winter.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xu Shu, but that Xu Shu is inexperienced and difficult to break through the enemy's blockade.

"Trust Xu Yuanzhi!"

Mu Jing said confidently: "Xu Yuanzhi's ability, thoughts, and talents are all top-notch. The more critical the time, the more his potential can be unleashed!"

Xu Shu, in history, this is a delayed talent, whether in Weiying or Shuying, he has no chance to display his talent.

But Mujing thinks that no matter his ability or talent, he belongs to the level of a first-class counselor in the whole world, as long as he is given a chance, he can become famous all over the world.

"Since Your Majesty trusts him, I can trust him too, but just in case, we have to make a second plan!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Ok!"

Mu Jing did not object, many things, success requires many factors, but the failure may be just because of an accident, there is no absolute success, even if he believes in Xu Shu, but he wants to press the more than [-] troops on Xu Shu , he can't do it either.

"You and the front-line combat staff make a new plan, and if the transportation of grain to the north fails, then we will carry out the second plan!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "No matter when, we can't push ourselves into a desperate situation! "

"Yes!"

Xi Zhi nodded.

"Ma Chao!" Mu Jing suddenly shouted.

"The end is here!"

"I heard that Zhang Xiu has gone south!"

"Yes!"

"There are many cavalry under Zhang Xiu's command?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"That's right!" Ma Chao nodded, "After the Yueqi Battalion was dismantled, there were no more organized cavalry in our army. The combat effectiveness of the unified cavalry may only be the cavalry under Zhang Xiu's command. Zhang Xiu is known as the Northern Spear King. He rose up in the North, crossed Xiliang, and even fought fiercely with the Huns on the Hetao Plain. The cavalry under his command also went through countless fights. , In addition, under Zhang Xiu's command, there is also a strong general named Hu Che'er. Zhang Xiu is united with this person, coupled with the combat power of the cavalry, looking at the world, not many people can stop it, even if Lu Bu personally leads The Bingzhou wolf rider may not be able to stop it!"

"I'll give you a chance!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "You go to Zhang Xiu and ask for the cavalry under his command!"

"What if he doesn't give it?"

Ma Chao frowned.

If it was the other generals of the Ming army, he would not be worried at all, but Zhang Xiu, he had to worry about this. Zhang Xiu, who had just surrendered, still had a lot of doubts in his mind.

"Whether you give it or not, it's all a result!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

"Yes!"

"If you can get his cavalry, don't enter the city, go north to east and go around, fight with Wei Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry, and draw their attention!"

What Mujing cares about is the artillery army he hides outside.

The Artillery Army lost one battalion, and there are still eleven battalions with more than [-] artillery pieces. This is Mu Jing's biggest trump card, but even if he hides deeper, he dare not say for sure.

At this time, he needs to attract Wei Jun's attention, and he can't let Wei Jun discover his hole cards in advance, otherwise this battle may break out in advance.

"promise!"

Ma Chao took the lead.

"In the northern border of Shangdang, you led a cavalry raid, but lost to Zhao Yun and Xianbei cavalry. This battle is not a crime, so I don't blame you, but Ma Mengqi, you are a Xiliang horse. In the hearts of many generals, You should be undefeated, fierceness is the impression you should give to others, so no matter what the reason, your failure will damage your reputation. In this battle, you can't lose again, even if you lose to Lu Bu , General, it will be very difficult for you to keep your position as the commander of the Divine Guard!"

Mujing looked at Ma Chao with meaningful eyes and a low and firm voice.

The generals of the Ming army all rose to power through meritorious deeds. Ma Chao was special. Mu Jing recruited him and gave him trust, but he did not make too many contributions. This time, many people in the Privy Council doubted it.

So he needs meritorious service and achievements, so that he can gain a firm foothold among the generals of the Ming army.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the last general will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!"

Ma Chao made up his mind, not only to fight the tiger and leopard cavalry, he didn't mind a pair of moves with Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

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

After Ma Chao took the order to leave, Xi Zhicai finally came to his senses at this time. He looked at Mujing, and after a while, he said quietly: "You take the initiative to provoke the war, and you are not afraid that Cao Cao will directly push the boat along!"

"If he wants to fight, then even if I don't do anything, he will come to the city. If he doesn't want to fight even more, then even if I send him in front of him, he will not move!"

Mujing shook his head, then smiled, with a playful arc on the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "I'm going to make him unable to guess his true intentions, he thinks I'm just trying to delay the time to rest the soldiers, then I will Taking the initiative to attack, he thought that I was trying to lure him into the bait, so I set up an empty plan for him. Between offense and defense, no matter it is now or in the future, I will take the initiative. The only thing I can give him is The right to choose, I want to see if Cao Mengde can make the best choice all the time, and if he makes a wrong choice, he will suffer!"

"Your Majesty, your method of calculating people's hearts is too clever. Even Guo Jia and Jia Xu may find it difficult to judge our reality!"

Xi Zhicai somewhat understood the reason why Mujing still put on an offensive posture at this time. I thought it was a fake, but I didn't expect it to be real, this is the method.

"These are just small tricks. It's okay to delay. In a frontal battle, it still depends on the combat effectiveness of both sides!" Mu Jing shook his head. In this kind of battle, strength is the most important thing. The so-called calculation, once pressed In the battle between the two sides, there is no force.

"As long as we get through this cold winter and our army regains its strength, we will fight to the end without fear of any army. We have absolute confidence that we can win!"

Xi Zhicai said in a low voice.

"Don't be careless!" Mu Jing waved his hand and said: "Cao Cao is now reborn after death, and the soldiers under his command will definitely have the will to fight. If we fight, as long as we are almost in morale, we will be collapsed. So I ordered Li Yan to let the ideological and political department increase the work of restoring the morale of the army, and let the military instructors go down to implement the problem of adjusting the mentality of every soldier after the war. The morale of the army is our most important weapon. If the morale of the army collapses, No matter how good our strategy and tactics are in this battle, we will inevitably collapse in the end!"

On the battlefield, fighting spirit can represent everything. No matter how good the weapon is, no matter how good the physical strength is, no matter how good the quality of an individual soldier is, as long as the fighting spirit collapses, it is tantamount to failure.

Without fighting spirit, it is impossible to win any anomalous war.

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "I will personally urge Li Yan to complete this task, appease each of our generals, and let them get out of the shadow of the war against Yan!"

"Our army suffered a lot of casualties, so it must be too late to replenish recruits, but..." Mu Jing pondered for a while, and then thought of another question: "If possible, we can replenish some of our troops from the Yan army's captives!"

"This will have an impact on our army's combat effectiveness!"

Xi Zhicai hesitated.

"The key is to see if we can integrate this part of the Yan army in a short period of time. In fact, they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. They have enough experience between life and death, but their fighting spirit is not with us. And there must be a lot of complaints against our Ming army, maybe even if they surrender, there will be countless people who secretly hate us!"

Mujing pinched his temples, and his head hurt a little. It would be wrong to do these things, and it would be a pity not to do them.

These captives need to be guarded by the troops of the Ming army.

It can be said that dropping one will not only increase the strength of the Ming army by one point, but also liberate some troops of the Ming army, allowing the main force of the Ming army to have the opportunity to wholeheartedly bet on this decisive battle.

"Your Majesty, once we let them in, these are unavoidable things. On the battlefield against Yan, we have killed many Yan soldiers, and there are countless Yan soldiers who hate us! "

Xi Zhicai disagreed: "I think, at this time, we would rather streamline our staff than let them come in and disrupt our fighting spirit and order!"

"Actually, my opinion is, don't let go of the power you can use. Of course, if it really doesn't work, you can't force it. You can let it go for a while!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said.

"I'll ask Chen Gong to test the captive generals of the Yan army first, to see their attitudes, and to see if they can go to the battlefield to fight for us without affecting our combat effectiveness!"

Xi Zhicai is also unwilling to give up such a large force.

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

Shangdang has completely entered the cold winter season. After several consecutive college games, the atmosphere of the world has changed a lot. The wind and snow between the sky and the earth have become more and more violent. It's blocked.

On the pot.

Cao Cao was wearing a big coat, looked at Luoxue in the distance, and said helplessly: "It seems that no matter what the plan is, we have to put it down at this time, the road is blocked by heavy snow, God will not give Gu any chance!"

The sky is not beautiful, and it is at this time.

If winter came later, he would still have a chance to send troops, but now, winter is here, the wind is blowing, and the snow is falling. It is difficult for the generals to survive, let alone fighting.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we must find a way to block the Ming army's food and grass going north!"

There was a hint of worry in Guo Jia's thin and fair expression.

God is not on Wei Jun's side.

Then after the beginning of spring, will the Wei army still have the fighting power to fight the Ming army to the death? How long has the Wei army's fighting spirit been maintained in the tribe? This is clear in his heart.

"What should be done has already been done. It is best to block it. If it cannot be blocked, then don't worry too much!"

Cao Cao was a little indifferent: "Xiahou Miaocai is not so easy to deal with. He has lost Luoyang, and now the only thing he can do is to try his best to block the Ming army from transporting grain to the north. He will use all his thoughts to do this. Yes, as for Hedong, as long as they wait for time, even if they can transport grain to the north, it will not be much!"

He didn't put his last hope on blocking the Ming army's food and grass going north here, he looked ahead, his eyes were dim, and his mind became more and more heavy: "Actually, what I worry about now is not whether they can do it or not. To get food and grass, but the weather is too cold, icy and snowy, which can freeze people to death. Now our army has poured out all the fighting power of the court, and the sons of hundreds of thousands of troops are here. Will they suffer from this cold winter? But go, this is the key, although we have made some preparations before, the winter clothes we prepared are too few!"

Guo Jia was a little silent when he heard the words: "We didn't expect enough. We thought we would have a chance to fight the Ming army before the cold winter, but we didn't expect to be dragged into the cold winter by them. Although a large number of winter clothes have been brought in now, one-third of them are not enough. , the rest of the men, let alone fighting, whether they can survive the cold winter is a problem. In the past two or three days, due to cold hands and feet, under the attack of chilblains, there are not a few soldiers who fell down!"

"Wen Ruo, is there still hope?"

"He did his best!"

"What about Yang Biao?" Cao Cao gritted his teeth.

If Xun Wen wants to suppress the overall situation, he really can't mess around, so he has to worry too much. Even if there is a way, it will be difficult to make a move. If Yang Biao can mobilize the way of the aristocratic family, there may be hope.

"This old fox's thoughts are too complicated, and he is more loyal to the emperor than us. If we are under the court, we will not be afraid of him, but now we are not in the court and the army is outside, how can he care about us? It is his only sense to cause us trouble, if the Guanzhong family was not sunk by Mulongtu, maybe he could still threaten us at this time!"

Guo Jia said coldly.

"Is there no other way?"

Cao Cao was a little anxious.

"Xuzhou can still think of some ways!"

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said: "Besides, since we are one with Jiangdong, we can also ask Jiangdong for a batch of cold clothes from Xuzhou. I think Jiangdong will not refuse. After all, our victory is their hope. !"

If Wei Jun wins, Jiangdong still has hope, if Wei Jun loses, then there is no hope for the Central Plains, and Jiangdong can only linger in the end, waiting for their fate, but under the attack of the Ming Army, they can resist for a few years time.

"Then order Chezhou, the governor of Xuzhou, to assemble a batch of cold clothes and bring them to the battlefield as soon as possible!" Cao Cao said coldly, "Just survive this cold winter!"
