Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 361 Cao Cao's Worries
Cao's army camp.

In the main account of the Chinese army.

Except for the counselors and generals who stayed in Chang'an.

The rest of Cao Cao's subordinates also gathered in the main account, and these counselors and generals also understood why Cao Cao summoned them.

After all, Jinyang is the only place left in Bingzhou, which can be taken completely, and their conspiracy to seize Bingzhou must have been discovered, and the rest is to see how Yuan Shao will deal with it.

a crowd.

Advisers include Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Zhong Yao, Sima Yi, etc.; generals include Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, Le Jin, etc.

It can be said that there are many talents, counselors like clouds, and fierce generals like forests.

And Xun Yu, Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin, and Liu stayed in Chang'an, stabilizing the situation in the court and collecting food and grass.

Looking at the people present.

Cao Cao also felt a little heroic in his heart. At the beginning, he never thought that there would be the scene today.

Originally, he was just thinking about the position of the three princes, but the general situation of the world changed again and again, and gradually, he became the overlord of one party. As for the emperor in Chang'an, Han Xiandi, he also became a puppet.

Although he still has the idea of ​​helping the Han family in his heart, but today, it is no longer his business alone. At least most of the subordinates present here are unwilling to obey the orders of Han Xiandi.

Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had some power in Chang'an, he just didn't intervene in the military. Even political affairs, if he had a big direction, he had to nod before he could implement it.

Come back to your senses.

He also waved away the thoughts in his mind.

"Everyone, now Jingzhou has returned to calm, and the rest of the princes have withdrawn their troops one after another, and there is still a land of Jinyang in front of them, what suggestions do you have for this?" Cao Cao asked after scanning the people present.

All the people present looked at each other.

I was also a little fortunate in my heart, after all, some of them proposed to besiege Jingzhou and seize the land of Jingzhou before. If they join in, what they have to face now may be Liu Qi's army of more than [-].

"My lord, the land of Jinyang must be taken. Although the chaos in Jingzhou has subsided, it cannot be involved here. What's more, Yuan Shao's [-] elite troops withdrew from Jingzhou, and Ma Chao intercepted them. one!"

Xi Zhicai stood up, cupped his hands and continued: "Moreover, the army has already arrived in Jinyang, Jinyang only has [-] Yuan troops stationed, and even if Yuan Shao has already learned, it will take time to send troops to support, and we have time to wait." Hundreds of thousands of troops, just one battle, can take Jinyang!"

"Subordinates wait for second!"

The rest of the people here did not refute Xi Zhicai's suggestion, they have already arrived here, and they can take the entire Bingzhou land with one place left, and they are not willing to give up.

Even if Yuan Shao personally leads the army, it is only necessary to stop Yuan Jun, and it is absolutely impossible to regain the territory of Bingzhou from their hands.

"In this way, let's arrange it so that the soldiers can recharge their batteries and attack Jinyang at five o'clock, rush to arrive before noon tomorrow, attack at dusk, and take Jinyang in one battle!" Cao Cao said firmly.

When convening the crowd.

He had thought that this would be the case, because he didn't want to give up here, at least he didn't want to just give up when there was still a chance to unify the state.

Calling everyone is just to see if there are any different opinions or better ideas.

After seeing the unanimous approval of everyone, he also said what he had already thought about in his heart.

"No! The subordinates will definitely win Jinyang in one fell swoop!"

heard.

Everyone present didn't have any opinions, and they all replied to Cao Cao in a firm tone.

Looking at the crowd full of fighting spirit.

Cao Cao is also very satisfied, having the will to fight is a good thing, the most feared thing is that they will lose the will to fight, then there is no need to fight, and the troops can be withdrawn directly.

"What do you guys think about the affairs of Jingzhou?"

There is no need to discuss the matter of capturing Jinyang. The rest is the matter of Jingzhou, which turned defeat into victory during the siege.

Everyone also didn't know what to say.

Before, they didn't think that Jingzhou had any chance of winning and would enter a chaotic situation.

At the beginning, it was similar to what they had guessed. Jingzhou City and Xinye were occupied by Yuan Jun; Zhou Yu led the [-] Jiangdong water army and began to fight hard with the [-] Jingzhou water army stationed in Jiangxia; Zhang Baiqi He and Zhang Miao are also attacking Nanyang with all their strength; Liu Bei is also preparing to tear his face with Lu Bu, and advances to break through and lead his army to Jingzhou.

But, who would have thought that Ma Chao, who was beaten by them and retreated to the Qiang land, would lead his troops to appear, save Nanyang, and finally surrender to Liu Qi; and the Nanman army was also subdued by Liu Qi and rushed back to Jingzhou. Joining the Jingzhou army returning from Yizhou, Yuan Jun, who saw that his strategy had failed, also withdrew from Jingzhou, and was finally put together by Liu Qi.

It can be said that the two biggest changes in it, one is Ma Chao's support, and the other is that the Nanman army was defeated too quickly.

It didn't take much effort for Liu Qi to regain the lost ground, and Zhou Yu and Liu Bei also withdrew their troops.

"Ahem!" Xi Zhicai stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, don't worry. Although Liu Qi now claims to have more than two hundred thousand soldiers, he can't mobilize many. The Nanman has tens of thousands of troops, but because of the new king of Man Liu Qi did not dare to mobilize easily; and although Jiangxia had sufficient troops, the Jiangdong navy was still in Lujiang, so Liu Qi would not mobilize easily; the most important thing is that after continuous battles, Liu Qi would not easily mobilize at this time. Soldiers!"

Hearing Cao Cao's question, he knew what Cao Cao was thinking.

"The subordinates also agree with what the military division said!"

Everyone looks.

It was a dark-looking teenager with a pair of phoenix eyes, but it gave people a sense of cunning.

"Oh, what opinion does Zhongda have?" Cao Cao asked.

He also knew Sima Yi. The members of the Sima family, because of their talent, also had a little reputation in the court, so they were recruited and reused.

This time he sent troops to merge the state, and as the leader of the army, he also repeatedly made ingenious schemes when he conspired to seize the rest of the city, and his talent was also recognized by everyone.

Don't dare to underestimate Sima Yi because he is young.

Sima Yi, whose name is Zhongda, is also a figure in the Three Kingdoms. After joining Cao Cao's camp, he didn't show his mountains and dew his water. It was just a bubble in the early stage.

It can be said that it was not until middle age that the talents of the whole body were able to be brought into play.

During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, it was also because of Sima Yi's existence that many times he was about to succeed in the Northern Expedition and was destroyed. Of course, there were other reasons.

But if it weren't for Sima Yi.

Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition also has a great possibility, and it may not be impossible to help the Shu Han complete the great cause of unifying the Central Plains.

He is also the most patient counselor.
