Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

There is also a reason for Li Huiyi to make such a decision. Li Shu is a child after all, and if one of his tendons breaks out at the front line, he will miss a big deal.

And Xu Shu was also worried in his heart, at this time Li Huiyi gave him the privilege, and immediately said respectfully: "Yes, my lord, don't worry, the young master is so well-behaved, it will definitely not be like this."

Li Huiyi was already tired of hearing these kind words, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will know how this daughter is."

Everything was properly arranged, and Li Huiyi was about to invite everyone to drink and relax when he suddenly remembered what happened a long time ago.

That was when Li Quan came to look for him a month ago. There was no war at that time, and Li Huiyi hadn't announced it to the outside world. He just thought of taking this opportunity to inform him.

In fact, there is no big deal, that is, as soon as the war starts in the future, if there is any new situation, it can be sent to the post station, and there is no need to send someone to rush it.

Everyone was puzzled, and asked Li Huiyi on the spot. They thought Li Huiyi kept it a secret, saying that they would know later, which made everyone feel itchy.

Since they couldn't get an answer, they didn't ask anymore. Li Huiyi led a group of people to the lobby where the banquet had already been prepared.

This gathering, I don't know how long it will take, Li Huiyi naturally let go of his arms and drank with them, leaving good memories for the memory.

Three days later, these great talents rushed to rule and began to act according to the plan. First, Yizhou and Bingzhou sent troops to occupy some important offensive points.

And sent countless spies to sneak into Cao Cao's rule to inquire about the enemy's situation, which made the guarding enemy soldiers frightened, and rushed eight hundred miles to send the news back to Xuchang.

However, in Qingzhou, there was not much movement of soldiers and horses. Instead, some capable generals among the generals were transferred to other places, and some unknown people were in charge.

This inconspicuous news, because it was not intentionally hidden, was naturally known by the spies arranged by Yuan Shao, who sent the news back.

Li Huiyi started to move, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao naturally couldn't stop, and began to call the subordinates and generals to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as Cao Cao received the news, he immediately held a meeting of advisers, and everything showed that Li Huiyi was going to do something.

In the discussion hall of Xuchang Cao Mansion, Cao Cao looked at everyone with a dark face and said, "Let's talk about it, what does Li Huiyi, a lion, want to do?"

Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun, is mediocre in talent, but he is a diehard loyalist. Although he can resist for a while, if he does not see reinforcements for a long time, the city will be lost.

Xun You thought for a while and remonstrated: "Prime Minister, no matter what Li Huiyi wants to do, Dongjun must send more reinforcements, otherwise the pass will be lost, and if there is a war, our army will be at a disadvantage."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, then who can lead the army to support?"

Xun You already had a candidate in mind, and immediately replied: "Yu Jin is cautious in doing things, let him lead an elite army, and rush to support immediately to stabilize the situation."

Cao Cao agreed and said: "Okay, go and inform Yu Jin immediately, let him lead five thousand elite soldiers from the headquarters, and set off for Dongjun immediately."

The messenger at the side waited for Cao Cao to finish speaking, and immediately strode away, ready to notify Yu Jin.

Cao Cao blinked slightly, and said, "The situation forced Dongjun to stabilize, and Li Huiyi's intentions can be guessed by everyone."

At this time, Xun Yu stood up calmly and said, "Prime Minister, Li Huiyi's move has only two intentions, either to attack Xuzhou or to attack our army."

"However, considering how he behaves in the world, it is unlikely that he will attack our army, because the emperor is still in Xuchang. If he raises troops to attack without permission, it will be announcing to the world that he is a traitor."

"However, it is not ruled out that his desire is inflated and he is ready to seize the world in one fell swoop. It depends on the news from Xuzhou."

Cao Cao rubbed his chin, and asked thoughtfully, "Ignore the news of Xuzhou for now, if Li Huiyi raises his army to attack, will our army be able to defend?"

Xun Yu smiled and said: "Half and half, the prime minister occupies the righteousness, and the people of the world are united. Even if Li Huiyi captures some cities, it will be difficult to advance."

"The second prime minister owns the territory of four prefectures, and he is on par with Li Huiyi, but with the help of Yuan Shao from Xuzhou, it is also equivalent to the army and people of the five prefectures fighting against Li Huiyi."

"Thirdly, the battle situation will be difficult to control when there is a battle. Li Huiyi has to take care of both sides, and the news will not be known in time. That is to say, the battlefield will be divided into two parts. As long as the prime minister negotiates well with Yuan Shao, he will be invincible .”

"Although there are three benefits, but Li Huiyi controls the four states by himself, and his subordinates and others are of the same mind, and there is one party who initiates the war, so it is still very difficult, unless he can break his arrangement and bring the situation back to our army."

Xun Yu's meaning is very clear, that is, there are so many advantages, but if they are not in harmony, everything is useless. It depends on how Cao Cao does it.

In other words, Cao Cao's current actions, or his arrangements, determine the direction of the battle.

Chapter 571

Regarding this point, Cao Cao was very clear. He knew that they would have another battle when Li Huiyi got away in the first battle on Mount Tai.

Cao Cao looked at the advisers on the left and right, and said coldly: "This battle is about success or failure. The truth is that we are determined to fight to the death. Whoever plots against each other at this critical moment will kill the three clans."

"In addition, Xun Yu is in charge of the rear, and has the right to mobilize any materials and troops. If anyone does not obey his orders, he has the right to kill first and then play."

"Xu You, I order you to draft a notice and send it to all armies in three days to prepare for the battle. Cheng Yu orders you to leave immediately and go to the front line of Dongjun to prevent the enemy from attacking."

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, the counselors on both sides immediately stood up and responded respectfully in unison.

"Yes, I will follow the prime minister's order."

"Sit down first." Cao Cao waved people to sit down, and said, "This battle must start, but there is no need to be nervous. It is already the autumn harvest. Whether Li Huiyi will launch an attack for a while, at least wait until the beginning of next spring."

"In order not to cause panic among the people, all these arrangements must be carried out in secret without any fanfare. In addition, someone must be sent to get in touch with Yuan Shao. I don't know who is willing to go."

Xun Yu stood up and said, "We're fighting together, it's time to employ people, and I recommend someone who may be the envoy of both parties."

"Oh?" Cao Cao asked curiously, "Wen Ruo said it?"

Xun Yu replied: "Guangling Chen Jiao, he is eloquent and eloquent. He is from Xuzhou. He is the most suitable person for this trip."

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, if Wen arranges to let him go to Xuzhou as soon as possible, he will be rewarded for his contribution."

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Prime Minister, don't worry, Yu will let him go tomorrow."

"Okay." Cao Cao nodded and said, "The other three armies will go ahead without using food and grass. Jingzhou should also buy more food from them, so as not to be in danger of food shortage when they get it."

"If the other article mentions that we should control the situation of the war in the hands of our army, I just thought of a strategy, and I will ask you to help me see how feasible it is."

"That is to adjust Xiliang Mu Machao and lead the Xiliang iron cavalry to attack Li Huiyi first and disrupt his deployment. Do you think it is feasible?"

If Ma Chao could be summoned, it might be possible, but getting him out of Xiliang would not be an easy task, everyone knew that.

Xun You frowned and said, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Ma Chao to come, unless you can give him a huge temptation to attract him."

Cao Cao replied: "I've already thought about this fact. Why don't you give Hanzhong and other places to him after the promise is fulfilled, and promise to help him win it. Do you think he will be moved?"

If you give up Hanzhong, with Ma Chao's personality, you should be tempted, but you must bring Han Sui with you, otherwise Ma Chao will not feel at ease.

If you don't give Han Sui benefits, I'm afraid he won't obey the transfer order. That is to say, if you want to transfer the Xiliang Army, both of them must have their own interests.

Xu You, who hadn't spoken yet, said, "Prime Minister, Ma Chao is easy to talk about, but Han Sui is very scheming, and I'm afraid he won't leave Xiliang easily. You think that you should first send someone to bribe him with a big gift to get him to agree."

Xun You stood up and objected: "It's not right. This battle is about victory or defeat. There must be no dissent. If you buy it with money, Han Sui will become a variable."

"Therefore, an envoy should be sent to make a high-profile call for him to send troops, saying that he is invited to attack the north, and half of the land he gains will be given to him. If he does not send troops, he will assist Ma Chao and destroy him in Xiliang."

With the threat of force and the temptation, even if Han Sui disagreed, there was nothing he could do. After all, the interests came first, and the people under his command would not agree with him to defend Xiliang.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Okay, since that's the case, please trouble Gongda to go to Xiliang and let the two send troops immediately. They must arrive in the first month of the next year. As for the food and grass, our army will provide all the food along the way."
