Chapter 1532 : Chapter 770: Cao Cao's poisonous plan again (2)
Although Guo Jia's strategy is ordinary, it is also practical. Novel rankings
"It would be difficult if an army of 200,000 troops stormed Xudu." Guo Jia smiled bitterly and nodded.
The morale of the Wei army was depressed, but the morale of the Han army must have been greatly boosted. To be honest, Guo Jia's reason for the victory of the 200,000-horse infantry attack on Xudu was the high morale of the Wei army and the panic among Xudu under the oppression of the 200,000-horse infantry.
, the morale of the army is unstable. Only in this way can a strong city be conquered.
Now this advantage is gone, and the city of Xudu is very strong. I am afraid that it will be difficult to win even if the siege lasts for ten months.
Guo Jia was so straightforward that Cao Cao was stunned. He wanted to refute, but found that there was no reason to refute. Cao Cao couldn't help but be disappointed. Then, Cao Cao thought of a way, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he quickly said: "Now the army
Morale has been dampened, but that is not the case on Sun Ce's side. Can we wait until Sun Ce breaks through Shouchun, marches eastward, intimidates Xinye, and becomes more powerful, and then the army storms Xudu to cooperate?"[
"When the news comes out that the Han army defeated the Wei army's cavalry, I'm afraid Jushou's side will become more powerful. In addition, Lu Su from Xinye and Huang Zhong from Xiangyang are not ordinary people. Sun Ce from Jiangdong will also be hard-pressed to defeat Shouchun."
Cheng Yu next to him gave a bitter smile and said.
"Exactly." Guo Jia nodded and agreed.
"Is this time Gu destined to fail in success?" Cao Cao said unwillingly. Although it can destroy the Han Dynasty's farmland and fertile land, and greatly damage Yuzhou. It can put the Han Dynasty into trouble, but this is not what Cao Cao needs.
"There is another way. If Duke Wei is not afraid of a protracted period of one year, or even two years, or three years, he can besiege the city with a large army, and only besiege but not attack. This will make Xu Du's food exhausted. In this way, the Han Dynasty will have nothing to do."
Guo Jia pondered for a moment and then said.
"One year is too long. The army is alone, the rear is empty, and Yuan Shao is not a vegetarian. The hatred of Qingzhou has not yet passed half a year." Cao Cao shook his head after hearing this.
"In this case, we can only implement the strategy temporarily and destroy the fertile farmland of the Han Dynasty first." Guo Jia sighed.
"Actually, there is still a chance to destroy fertile farmland." Dong Zhao suddenly said.
"What opportunity?" Cao Cao asked quickly.
"The autumn harvest is coming, and the grain is about to mature, but it was destroyed by us. Then Liu Feng must be very angry. In this way, maybe Liu Feng can be induced to come out to fight. As long as Liu Feng comes out to fight, there will be a chance."
Dong Zhao narrowed his eyes and said.
"Alas, this is the only way." Cao Cao said, slightly disappointed when he heard this.
His 200,000 horse and infantry troops were divided into four parts, each of which had an army of 50,000 troops. Each part was commanded by a general, and its combat power was astonishing.
However, the number of capable soldiers and horses in Xudu city is only five armies and 30,000 elite soldiers. It is unlikely that Liu Feng will go out of the city to fight. Even if the damage to the fertile fields is huge, Liu Feng will probably knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
However, this is the only way to go now, and Cao Cao has no other options.
"Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, where are Xiahou Dun?" Cao Cao ordered after taking a deep breath.
"The end will be here."
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Xiahou Dun immediately stood up and came to the middle, bowing down.[
"I order you and the other three to each command 50,000 elite troops to destroy the fertile fields in Yuzhou. Remember to grab shields to prevent the Han army from launching crossbows."
"promise."
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Xiahou Dun all agreed.
"The army will set off tomorrow. Generals, please rest early." After allocating the remaining three armies, Cao Cao glanced at the generals in the tent and said.
"promise."
The generals all agreed, then stood up and walked out of the tent.
"Alas." Cao Cao sighed. He made a mistake every step of the way.
