Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1826

Cao Cao paced back and forth, his eyes flickering, his fists clenched from time to time, and after a while he said quietly: "If they really have food and grass, then Mu Longtu's intentions will be clear!"

"My lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Jia Xu responded in a low voice: "If the Ming army is really short of food and the morale of the army is broken, then we can press the whole army at this time, and we can immediately crush their strength and take the eldest son city without destroying it. It seems that they may be setting a trap, but the heart of the shepherd has always been unique, and they have done a lot of things that go in the opposite direction. In case they are short of food, this is an opportunity, and we gave up. When their food and grass go north, it will be difficult for us to fight, and the outcome will be uncertain!"

In a normal confrontation, it wasn't that Jia Xu had no confidence, but that the Ming army was so strong that it was frightening. After fighting the Yan army hard, it is impossible for any princes along the way to resist the mighty Wei army.

But the Ming army held on.

Whether it was the support of the right time and place, or something else, anyway, the Ming army supported the Wei army's attack at the last moment, and successfully dragged the war until winter.

So he still hopes to defeat the Ming army under the shortage of food and grass, so that the pressure on the Wei army will not be so great.

Guo Jia was also silent.

It's not that he doesn't want to refute, but that no matter what he says at this time, it's just a guess. If the guess is right, it may be an opportunity. If there are too many guesses, it is a failure.

Ming Jun's thoughts are too difficult to guess, especially Mingzi Mujing, who is so cunning that they can't describe it. There is no routine in doing things, and it is more unconstrained.

Back then when the princes of the world were begging for animal husbandry, everyone thought that after Mu Shan died in battle, he would surely die, but he chose to use the most ruthless and ruthless way to burn a city and escape from birth.

He has personally experienced countless wars in these years, and there are really not many people who can guess his thoughts.

"Wen He means that he hopes to send troops alone to test it?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at Jia Xu.

He still has some trust in Jia Xu. After all, being able to hand over the Yelou to Jia Xu's management is a trust in itself.

"Correct!"

Jia Xu nodded: "Try it out, it's more reliable, you don't need to guess here!"

Cao Cao was silent for a while, still looking at Guo Jia.

Jia Xu was a little overshadowed.

Sure enough, in Cao Cao's heart, looking at the world, only Guo Jia can be trusted unconditionally, basically he will ask Guo Jia about everything big or small.

This is something he can't be jealous of.

After all, Guo Jia's loyalty to Cao Cao is known to everyone in the world, but they are both counselors, so there is still some envy and jealousy.

They Xiliang counselors seem to be changing all the time, but it is always difficult to gain the trust of the lord.

Guo Jia seemed a little silent. After being silent for a while, he felt Cao Cao's burning eyes, and said bitterly: "My lord, it is because of Mujing's mind and rules that we can't act without authorization. Now the advantage is still with us, even if they have food and grass. , Their casualties in the war with the Yan army cannot be made up for, we follow the steps, and it is harder to fight, but at least we can guarantee that we will not fall into their trap because of our eagerness for quick success!"

He added: "Whether it's this Mutianzi or my fellow brother Xi Zhicai, they are all good at digging holes. There are not a few people they have dug holes in these years. Be careful, and there is no big mistake. At such a juncture, I think the more we can't rush for quick success!"

Cao Cao's original impulsiveness was wiped out a lot in the face of Guo Jia's words. Indeed, although the attack at this time may be defeated in one fell swoop, the risk is great. Once it is a trap, once the Ming army's morale is stable, There is still food and grass, and they are sent to the door in the cold winter months to be wiped out by Mujing as a target.

This kind of weather is too cold, and it is too uncomfortable for the attacking side. Even if they build a ladder to go up, they will be shivering from the cold, and they can't even hold their weapons.

Therefore, once they are ambushed and killed alive, the casualties must be extremely tragic.

"Still be filial and prudent!"

Cao Cao let out a turbid breath, and said: "Although Gu is not reconciled, and Gu also hopes to take the eldest son city with the least casualties and drive the Ming army to extinction, but we should not be too hasty to compete with Mujing. People are too treacherous, scary, and good at calculating, if they set up a trap, even if we can retreat completely, there will inevitably be a part of the main force left behind, which will have too much impact on our main battle in the coming year!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "So Gu decided, no matter how the news spreads, Gu can't move!"

A sharp light burst out of his tiger eyes: "The only thing Gu can do is to clean up the periphery of the eldest son city at any cost. The cleaner the better, the old battle of Wancheng cannot be repeated. once!"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu was not reconciled, but since Cao Cao had made his decision, it was useless for him to be unwilling, and Guo Jia's consideration was indeed very sound, but his confidence in the battle between Ming and Wei was not enough.

The matter has come to this point, and he will not continue to target. He can understand Cao Cao's persistence in sweeping the periphery. He cupped his hands and said: "The place we have discovered so far may be the ambush of the Ming army. If we attack by force, we will pay a lot of money." Big price!"

"Don't worry about it for now, just keep an eye on it!"

Cao Cao said: "I'm not afraid of their ambush, what I'm afraid of is that I don't know where their ambush is. I continue to order the tiger and leopard cavalry to sweep it again. I believe that there is not only one place where the Ming army can hide troops. I found it." Let's solve it together!"

At this time, Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, it's still important to fight quickly. After all, this may also be the artillery army of the enemy. If it is the artillery army, they have artillery in their hands. If they can be captured, it will definitely increase our combat effectiveness!"

"Yes!"

Cao Cao woke up suddenly, and he yelled: "Wenhe, you immediately send an order to Cao Chun, and the tiger and leopard cavalry go straight to his camp, and also order Zhang Yun to send troops to support him, and they must be captured as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu nodded, bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and left.

After he left, Cao Cao also calmed down, and said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, I'm still worried about the food and grass. You can watch it yourself. Mr. Gu feels that there is a sense of being killed. We stared at their food. Dao, it is understandable to be stared at by them, but the supply of grain and grass in the three states is too important to our army, we must let them enter Chaoge smoothly!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Guo Jia said: "I believe that the grain and grass will enter Chaoge smoothly, but if we want to continue to intercept the Ming army's grain team, it will be a bit difficult. Now there are not enough tiger and leopard cavalry troops, and there are not enough other places to mobilize, especially It is Hanoi that we have no roots!"

"Where's the Sima family?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked indifferently.

"The Sima family has some outstanding people, but compared to the Hongnong Yang family, this family prefers to hide their clumsiness. Under the current situation, they may prefer to bet on both sides, at least neither side will be offended!"

"How can there be such a good thing!"

Cao Cao sneered: "Order Sima Yi, order Sima's family to break the way of military supplies!"

"What if he doesn't listen?"

"kill!"

Cao Cao said very indifferently: "I can't find anyone who can sacrifice the battle flag now!"

"Then I'll let him try it!"

Guo Jia didn't have too much hope, but he still hoped that the Sima family could stand up. The aristocratic families in these places are deeply entrenched, and many of them are gentry and wealthy families who can command a lot. They have a huge influence. Inside, get things done.

"Also order Xun Yu to continue to transfer troops from Hebei to Hanoi!"

Cao Cao said suddenly.

"Your Majesty, our military strength is running low now. If we transfer troops from Hebei, then we may not even be able to keep Yecheng!"

Guo Jia's pupils changed color slightly.

Most of the main force of the Wei army is concentrated here, and it is natural to fight a world-defying battle, but the rear also needs to be guarded, so there are still some county soldiers and county soldiers in Xuzhou and Jizhou.

If all these troops are mobilized, the place will be completely chaotic, and even many lawless lunatics, hooligans and the like will emerge.

As long as there is chaos and no one in the court can clean up the mess, then the rear will be corrupted.

"I don't know!"

Cao Cao said calmly: "But Gu is very clear, that is, he can't pass the current hurdle, and it's useless to keep it anywhere. Only by killing Mulongtu can there be hope in this battle!"

He had thought about it, even if his wife and children were lost, even if the land was gone, his only chance now was to win the battle of the eldest son city, at least to kill Mulongtu, in this case, the battle would definitely be won.

Guo Jia heard the words and didn't continue to persuade them. How could he not know that this is a desperate fight, and they will give up all they have. If they can't kill Mulongtu, then they will definitely lose.

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

In the eldest son city, falling snowflakes covered the city, as if wrapped in a layer of elegant silver, making the city look more beautiful and cold.

The city gate is upstairs.

Mujing is playing chess.

The person who played chess with him was his prisoner, that is, Liu Bei, a prisoner of the Ming court.

He didn't kill Liu Bei.

It's a pity to kill.

It's still useful to keep it, but as for what it's useful for, he didn't tell anyone, because the time hasn't come yet.

"Tianyuan first, it's a miracle that you can win this game of chess!" Liu Bei's mood has improved a lot recently, perhaps because he feels that Mujing is besieged, and maybe he will be treated the same as himself in the future, but his mood will be much better.

"It doesn't matter where you go first, what matters is the result!"

Mujing scattered the sunspots in his hands on the chessboard that was over.

"The result is, you won?"

Liu Bei sneered.

"Uncle Liu Huang doesn't seem to believe this result?" Mu Jing smiled.

"It's too early to say it now!"

Liu Bei said calmly: "I hope you won't become a prisoner like me!"

"No!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "If I really lost, Cao Cao wouldn't dare to give me such a chance. He would definitely cut off my head immediately, for fear of long nights and dreams!"

"Right!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "No one in the world fears the king!"

Looking at this world, there is no one who is not afraid of Mujing. The young hero established the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time and directly dug the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, this young man went to the battlefield at the age of 12, and he killed so decisively that the princes of the world were afraid of it.

Mujing defeated himself and dared to spare his life.

But if he defeated Mu Jing by himself, he would definitely not dare to spare Mu Jing's life, and he must kill him quickly, because he is also afraid of long nights with many dreams and many variables.

"This is an era of changing dynasties. It's better to be feared than to be killed!" Mu Jing didn't care: "Da Ming should be feared by the world!"

Without the guts to hold the world, they would have been devoured long ago.

"I don't believe you still have a chance to come back?"

Liu Bei said viciously.

"Then just wait and see!"

Mu Jing grinned.

He likes to chat with Liu Bei, and bullying the proud loser is a good mood, but it's just that some of them have a bad personality.

But in this era when people kill people, it is considered a kind deed for Mu Jing to spare his life.

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Battalion of the Artillery Army has been discovered!"

When they chatted well, a general quickly walked in, and then underestimated in Mujing's ear.

"When?" Mu Jing jumped up.

"Should not long ago, two Wei armies were heading towards the eighth battalion's camp!"

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Send Zhang Liao to come see me!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Wenyuan came very quickly.

Mu Jing was not afraid that Liu Bei would be in front of him, so he assigned the task directly. He handed a secret map to Zhang Liao, and then said: "Wen Yuan, this is the location of the Eighth Battalion of the Artillery Army. It has been discovered by the cavalry of the Wei Army, and it is in danger. , you immediately send troops out of the city to respond, and bring the Eighth Battalion of the Artillery Army back to the city. Because the artillery of the Artillery Army is heavy and difficult to transport, the speed is not fast. The Wei Army will definitely seize this opportunity and intend to take down our artillery, artillery It's very important, but the Artillery Army is more important, you should keep the Artillery Army's son first, and then the artillery, if it's between people and weapons, I only want you to bring the Artillery Army's son back!"

The Artillery Army is a new branch with high technical content. It is not easy to train it out, and it is even a bit difficult. In the training chapter written by Mu Jing, Huangfu Jianshou used nine oxen and two tigers to achieve what he is today. Achievement.

If the artillery is gone, he can still build it, but if the artillery is gone, it will not be possible to train it in a short time, so people are more important than weapons.

"Yes!"

Zhang Liao immediately realized the importance of the matter.

He turned and left, quickly prepared, and gathered the elite out of the city in the shortest possible time.

"Artillery Army?"

At this time, Liu Bei's eyes burst into a sharp light, looked at Mu Jing, and said solemnly: "Is this what you can rely on to defeat Cao Mengde?"

"Yes, this is relying on. You will never understand what the crushing of hot weapons is. I will let you see. In this battle, you are very lucky. You will witness a cross-age war with your own eyes!"

Under his own eyes, Mujing is not afraid that he will leak the secret, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled confidently: "I can tell you with confidence, this battle, no matter what, you will not win It's not that Cao Cao will lose to me, but no matter how much you resist, the old era will lose, and the new era will come, and the rolling wheels of history will pass by, and no one can stop it!"

He has such confidence that even if he loses this battle, he can still escape, unless Cao Cao can kill him, but this chance is not even one percent, even if the Ming army is defeated, He is confident that he can escape back. If he escapes, he will spend at most decades to develop technology, and he will be able to dominate the world in the end.

It's just that he doesn't want to let the world continue to fall into war. If the world is in chaos, the people will suffer. As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. He must fight to determine the world.

"Really, since you are so confident, then wait and see!"

Liu Bei said with a sneer.

He didn't believe Mu Jing's words, it was because his world view was always stuck in the past, and naturally he didn't understand what kind of world Mu Jing saw when he came back after 2000.
