Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Speaking of this, Li Yi couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

It's a kind of intuition, don't look at Li Yi's bugs now, even if he gets an arrow from Tai Shici, he will be fine, but he doesn't think he is completely invincible, especially when he thinks of Guan Yu, he feels cold on the back of his neck, and his heart Very uneasy, as if Guan Yu could take his life.

If he had known that there would be such a bad feeling, Li Yi would have killed Guan Yu regardless.

Sighing secretly, Li Yi continued: "In addition to the generals, the two advisers around Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Xi Zhong, are equally talented as the military advisers. If the leader is outside, it is easy to fall into their schemes."

"At the beginning when Lu Bu turned back, Cao Cao had almost no foothold in Yanzhou. Later, he was able to gradually move back to the disadvantaged position. Although Yuan Shao was there to help and support him, he could not do without the assistance and planning of these ministers and generals. Therefore, you must not underestimate the enemy against Cao Cao. Be careless, otherwise once he finds an opportunity, even if Cao Cao cannot reverse the final victory or defeat, if he suffers huge casualties, that is not what I want."

"Therefore, Shicai's military adviser suggested that sending a surprise army to copy Cao Cao's back route is a clever strategy, but it is for ordinary opponents. Cao Cao has too many talented people under his command, too many variables, and the leading generals are slightly different. Be careful, I'm afraid not only will you not be able to intercept Cao Cao, but you will be taken advantage of by Cao Cao."

Both Kuai Yue and Huang Zhong looked unhappy, especially Huang Zhong. Although Li Yishi was comparing Dianwei and Zhang Xiu, he couldn't tell that Li Yi somehow meant that he was not as good as Guan Yu.

Military generals are inherently victorious, if Huang Zhong hadn't been the chief general in the army, he really wanted to beg Guan Yu for a while.

Although Kuai Yue was also a little uncomfortable, it didn't take long for him to adjust slowly, took a deep breath, and asked: "According to my lord, if we send troops to the rear of Cao Cao, those soldiers and horses will only be suspicious soldiers, not Really fighting?"

Li Yi nodded slightly, and said regretfully: "Although there are no shortage of good generals under my command, there are very few people who can take on this important task. General Huang and Xu Huang cannot go away. Xiu and He Qi, let them stop Cao Cao, I can't feel at ease."

"Well"

Kuai Yue stroked his beard and fell into deep thought for a while.

Huang Zhong clasped his fists and asked, "Since that's the case, how about letting the army detour and attack Cao Cao from the rear?"

Before Li Yi could answer, Kuai Yue said: "Since there are many resourceful men under Cao Cao's command, food supply and roads will become a big problem if he marches around such a detour, and Yanzhou is constantly fighting, so I am afraid there will not be much food in the county. If you want to seize the city to get food, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

Kuai Yue was talking, when suddenly he let out a cry of surprise, followed by a smile on his face, and said: "My lord, this subordinate has a trick, maybe it can kill two birds with one stone!"

Li Yi immediately became interested and asked, "What's the strategist's plan?"

Kuai Yue pointed at the map and said, "Before, Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun to station five thousand troops in Shouzhang to guard against Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao brothers. Cao Cao's retreat?"

"Of course, they may not be able to accomplish anything with Xiahou Dun's obstruction, but according to what the lord said before, it doesn't need to be too many, three to 2000 people are enough, and then let this army pass through Lu County and feign westward. It's best to lay down one or two cities and hold on, even if you can't, you have to make enough stones to lure Xiahou Dun to divide his troops, once this happens, Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao will have a chance!"

"Hehe, it would be best if they could defeat Xiahou Dun, and then someone would block Cao Cao on behalf of the lord. Even if it doesn't work, that's okay. At the very least, they can restrain Xiahou Dun's troops, so that Cao Cao can't be distracted, and the lord is even more harmless. "

Li Yi looked at the map carefully, and suddenly laughed. Kuai Yue's strategy was to harm others and benefit himself. He just sent a small number of soldiers and horses as an introduction at the beginning. Once Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao responded and marched eastward, Cao Cao would be blocked. The retreat, correspondingly, the risks involved are also passed on to them.

Seeing the joy on Li Yi's face, Kuai Yue continued: "If this plan succeeds, it is naturally because the lord is wise and powerful, and has a good command. If something goes wrong later, it is because Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao don't know how to use troops. The responsibility lies with the two masters." , but, the lord has always been generous, and you can properly comfort and encourage him in the future, so the Zhang brothers must be grateful and can use it for the lord."

Huang Zhong secretly clicked his tongue while listening, and glanced at Kuai Yue from time to time. If they were not colleagues, he would definitely keep a respectful distance from people like Kuai Yue.

However, Huang Zhong thought carefully about Kuai Yue's proposal, and suddenly he asked, "Military Master, if Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao are afraid of not fighting, or directly disagree with the lord's strategy of using troops, what should we do?"

Kuai Yue chuckled lightly and said, "My lord is kind to Lv Bu because of my old relationship with Lv Bu, but how can Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao rely on them? If you don't listen to your lord's orders, hehe, you can just deal with them according to the military law."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, this plan is very good. Even though Lu Jun's suspicious soldiers may not be of much use, but it can test Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao's attitude towards me, which will save trouble in the future, but it will always be a loss."

Finally, Li Yi asked: "Who is competent for this suspicious soldier?"

Huang Zhong thought for a while, and replied: "He Qi is in charge, and Sun Ben is in charge."

Kuai Yue added: "Zhou Yu's resourcefulness is very good, and he can serve as a staff officer in the army."

Li Yi thought for a while, and felt that there was no problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief, stretched again, and said, "Okay, the matter is settled like this, and I will send someone to contact Liu Chong and others tomorrow, but the partial teacher in Lu County wants Prepare early, General Huang is responsible for this matter."

"Here!"

The two agreed in unison, and seeing Li Yi's tired face, Kuai Yue asked, "My lord, if there is nothing else, this subordinate will go back and make arrangements."

Li Yi nodded in agreement, the two saluted, then turned and walked out, talking in low voices as they walked, but as soon as they reached the door, they saw Mi Fang and Lu Su rushing in, bumping into them.

Huang Zhong stretched out his hand to help him, and said in surprise, "Why is Zifang in such a hurry."

Both of them didn't care about answering, Mi Fang strode forward directly, while Lu Su bowed his hands to the two apologetically, and then walked forward quickly.

Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue looked at each other, then turned and walked back.

Mi Fang strode up to Li Yi, bowed and said, "My lord, Qingzhou just sent news that Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan and general Yan Liang suddenly sent troops to Qingzhou. Pingyuan, Ande and other counties have been taken by Yuan Tan. When the spies sent the letter , Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses have reached Gaotang, if nothing unexpected happens, Gaotang has fallen into Yuan Tan's hands a few days ago!"

Just now when Li Yi saw Mi Fang and Lu Su walking in a hurry, he knew there would be no good news. After listening to it, he couldn't help saying that it was true, and then frowned.

This time Li Yi sent troops to attack Cao Cao, but in fact, Li Yi's strategic goal was never just Yanzhou.

First of all, Yuzhou is also what Li Yi wants, and it must be obtained.

After acquiring Yuzhou and Yanzhou, Li Yi will start to test Tao Qian in the next step. With the prestige after the big victory and the chaotic internal situation in Xuzhou itself, Li Yi has great confidence in forcing Tao Qian to bow his head and fight without a fight. Get the whole territory of Xuzhou.

If these two steps are successfully completed, then Li Yi will make arrangements for Qingzhou.

The current governor of Qingzhou is Tian Kai, and Tian Kai is a member of Gongsun Zan. Li Yi does not intend to use force against Qingzhou. On the one hand, it is very hard for the army to fight continuously. Li Yi does not want the soldiers to work too hard. In addition, he is worried about this. It would anger Gongsun Zan and let Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, the original rivals, join forces to deal with him. Even if he got Qingzhou, the loss would probably not be worth the loss.

Therefore, Li Yi's plan is to form an alliance with Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai. It doesn't matter even if he promises huge profits. Opportunity exerted pressure and harassed Yuan Shao so that he could not use all his strength against Gongsun Zan.

Once this situation is achieved, Li Yi will have an overall advantage in the face of Yuan Shao, and then farm with peace of mind while harassing Yuan Shao. When the time comes, he will raise an army of [-] to go north, and Hebei can be defeated in one battle.

What Li Yi didn't expect was that although his calculations were very good, Yuan Shao was not a fool. He hid in Jizhou and waited to die. Ma went to Qingzhou first.

Although this situation is not an urgent military situation, if it is not handled properly, it is likely to become a catastrophe in the future, so Li Yi has to treat it with caution.

Li Yi looked at Mi Fang, and asked: "Yuan Tan marched, did Tian Kai not resist, why did he lose several cities, even Gaotang on the south bank?"

Mi Fang's expression was slightly weird, she glanced at Li Yi, and then said cautiously: "Liu Bei served as the county magistrate of Pingyuan, and he treated the people very well. Repeatedly embarrassing and humiliating, the people in the plain were not angry, so when Yuan Tan's troops arrived, he only said that he was attacking Tian Kai, and the people took the initiative to open the city gate and hand over the city to Yuan Tan."

The corner of Li Yi's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a moment.

After taking a breath, Li Yi asked again: "What about Gaotang, there is a natural danger of the Yellow River in the middle, how did Yuan Tan take it?"

Mi Fang murmured, and said in a low voice: "I can't say anything about it, probably Yuan Tan's troops passed by and then succeeded. Tian Kai doesn't seem to have much defense."

Li Yi opened his mouth slightly, and was speechless again. After a while, he cursed: "Idiot!"

Lu Su at the side coughed lightly and said, "My lord, there is another piece of news. It seems that Yuan Shao's envoy is rushing to the lord's side. If there is no accident, it will only take two days."

"Another messenger?"

Li Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that Yuan Shao wants to speak for Cao Cao, no, Yuan Shao is not interceding for Cao Cao, he is afraid that I will deal with Qingzhou, and even send troops to the north!"

Li Yi got up, took a few steps back and forth, and said to Kuai Yue who had turned back again: "Leave aside the envoy's affairs for now, I want to save Qingzhou, what does the military adviser think?"

Kuai Yue also heard all the content just now, and immediately cupped his hands, saying: "Yuan Shao sent troops to Qingzhou at this time, obviously because of the lord's sake, he was worried that the lord would get Yanzhou, and then take all the south of the Yellow River. In order to avoid such a predicament, Yuan Shao It is only natural to send troops to Qingzhou, as long as Qingzhou is in hand, Yuan Shao can advance or retreat, and there is a lot to do."

"However, although Yuan Shao's idea is good, it also has disadvantages. He must take down Qingzhou before the lord takes Yanzhou. Otherwise, Yuan Shao's move will not only fail to make merit, but it will be an opportunity for the lord to take Qingzhou."

"So, my subordinates thought that Tian Kai of Qingzhou could be defeated, but not completely defeated. In this way, the lord may not need to form an alliance to directly control Qingzhou, and will not turn against Gongsun Zan."

Li Yi nodded, expressing his approval of Kuai Yue's statement, but then shook his head and said: "It makes sense, but looking at the defeat in Gaotang in Pingyuan, Tian Kai is obviously not Yuan Tan's opponent."
