Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Because in his opinion, this is a very dangerous thing.

"My lord, I think that General Cao Ren is the most suitable. He has led the army for many years, has rich combat experience, and is better at fighting tough and vicious battles. Only he can lead the army to Jingzhou to complete this task." Sima Yi said.

"what?"

Cao Cao did not expect that Sima Yi would support Cao Ren to lead the army to Jingzhou.

Is it really worth sending your confidant general to such a dangerous matter?

How could Sima Yi not know Cao Cao's thoughts?

He chuckled and said, "Zhuge don't have to worry. General Cao Ren will not be in danger if he goes here. Because the military force in Jingzhou area is relatively weak, according to careful investigation, most of their troops have been transferred to Xuchang and Jiangdong Jianye In the Jingzhou area, there are only about [-] people. Moreover, many of them have just fought and are still recovering from their injuries. At this time, if an elite army goes directly to Jingzhou, although they cannot gain territory, they can seize their weapons."

"You really feel good?"

"Yes."

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren again: "Since Zhong Da has agreed, I will not refuse you. You can choose five thousand elites and go to Jingzhou someday. However, you must be extremely careful. When fighting with the Jingzhou army, you must keep quiet , mainly to seize their weapons."

"Yes."

Cao Ren agreed.

"General Cao Ren, you'd better not wear armor when you go to Jingzhou this time," Sima Yi said.

"Not wearing armor? Why?" Cao Ren didn't understand.

"The reason is very simple. When you go to Jingzhou, you are not going to formally start a war with Xu Ding, but to seize their guns without alarming Xu Ding. The best way to do this is to keep them from knowing, yes We're attacking them."

Only halfway through Sima Yi's words, Cao Ren understood: "Sir, what do you mean, let the last general pretend to be a bandit and attack Jingzhou?"

"General, I'm quick-witted, and I can see through a little bit." Sima Yi nodded.

That's what he meant.

"Report." At this time, a soldier ran into the meeting hall with a letter.

The warriors all turned around.

Xiahou Dun took the letter and handed it to Cao Cao.

"Here." Cao Cao opened the letter, and the more he looked at it, the happier he said: "God help me!"

"My lord, can you tell me what happened?"

Sima Yi asked.

Cao Cao handed the letter to Sima Yi and said, "Look, there is a batch of firearms being transported to the Chang'an area via Wuguan. The Chang'an garrison is less than [-]. It is said that it is still a local army."

"If we send troops to make a surprise attack, is it possible to seize these guns?"

After reading the letter, Sima Yi said firmly, "My lord, I don't suggest taking these guns."

"Why? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Cao Cao had long wanted to capture Chang'an.Only by capturing Chang'an can Xiliang return to safety.His line of defense is really solid, otherwise, Xiliang and Yizhou will always face the promised crusade.

This time, a large number of firearms were transported to Chang'an, and there were not many defenders in Chang'an. It was time for him to make contributions.

Regardless of which aspect is considered, the army should march northward.

"My lord, do you really think that Xu Ding will use troops like this? How can there be a large number of guns shipped to Chang'an without sending troops to garrison them? This is not in line with Chang's principles." Sima Yi said.

"Sir, you're worrying too much." Xia Houyuan stood up and said, "Since driving away the Western Shang Empire, Xu Ding is confident that the world is invincible. He must think that we dare not attack Chang'an, and we are more confident in resisting it with a very small force." Therefore, only a few thousand people were sent to defend the city. This is the result of his arrogance, and there is no trap. The general felt that he should seize this opportunity and give Xu Ding a wink. As long as Chang'an is captured, And with this batch of firearms, our strength will increase a lot.”

Chapter 897 The Cautious Cao Mengde

Sima Yi said, "This batch of firearms is indeed attractive. However, we must do what we can. Generals, please think about it, even if we succeed in taking the risk, are we sure we can stop Huaxia's attack?"

Xia Houyuan said, "As long as we have guns and form an army like the Huaxia Kingdom, we will be able to win."

"What General Xiahou said is too simple?"

Sima Yi snorted softly, "The new type of weapon is indeed powerful. However, the weapons of the Western Shang Empire are better than those of the Huaxia Kingdom. Why haven't they ever fought against the Huaxia Kingdom?"

"You have to know that the new type of weapon came from the Western Shang Empire."

"Xu Ding defeated the Western Merchant Empire without guns, and we, with those poor guns, can we stop Huaxia Kingdom?"

Sima Yi's questioning left the general present at the scene speechless.

How could they do something that even the Western Merchant Empire failed to do.

It seems easy to go to Chang'an to raid new weapons, but the aftereffects actually brought about will make them unbearable.

Cao Cao also gradually calmed down, thinking carefully about Sima Yi's words.

Should Cao Ren be sent to Jingzhou to slowly acquire weapons?Or take a gamble and directly capture Chang'an?

This decision may affect the future of Yiliang and Liangzhou, and it is also a decision of life and death.

After careful consideration, Cao Cao said, "Zhongda is right. We can't act rashly. Now that Xu Ding has become popular, his army is several times or even dozens of times stronger than ours. If there is no new type of weapon and new type of army, it will definitely Formidable."

"Cao Ren."

"Yes." Cao Ren came out.

Cao Cao said, "You should gather five thousand soldiers and go to Jingzhou. I hope you can seize new weapons as soon as possible. Only in this way can we go west to Chang'an."

"promise."

Cao Ren turned and left.

The matter of Chang'an was not achieved because of Sima Yi's obstruction.

Cao Cao became more and more cautious, fearing Xu Ding and the Western Shang Empire from the bottom of his heart.

a few days later.

In Xuchang, Yuzhou.

Xu Ding asked Jia Xu, "Wenhe, has there been any news about Cao Cao these days?"

Jia Xu has been responsible for the layout of Chang'an for quite some time.

If any news came from Yizhou, it must have reached Jia Xu first.
