Liu Xuan wanted to go on a personal expedition again. One sentence made the civil and military officials in the court stunned. They just felt that this was too unreliable. Why did he run away thinking about it every two days?

What's more, it's enough to have Cao Cao during the war. Why do you, the emperor, go over there and join in the fun?

"This... Your Majesty, the military is ferocious. As the emperor, how can you put yourself in danger many times?"

Wang Yun was the first to express his disagreement, and then Yuan Wei and others also responded. However, Lieutenant Yang Biao remained silent, seeming to be thinking about something.

The doctor who had just arrived in the court was offering wine to Kong Rong and Kong Wenju. At this time, he also spoke: "Although the war in Yanzhou is important, it is enough to appoint a general. Your Majesty, the emperor, should focus on bigger things."

……………”

“On what bigger things?”

Liu Xuan turned his head and glanced at Kong Rong. Although this guy didn't shake his head when he spoke, he also said that what I said is a golden rule. You'd better listen to me honestly and then do it obediently. The tone really made Liu Xuan unhappy.

How cool.

Kong Rong wanted to talk about the people of the world, the civil and military officials, the states and counties, etc., but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that the states and counties currently controlled by the imperial court could not be said to be a prosperous dynasty under the governance of the emperor, at least the people

We have no worries about food and clothing, and we have reorganized our armaments. The imperial army is also strong and strong. Now we are beginning to recover various states and counties bit by bit. Everything is developing in a good direction.

More importantly, after the emperor established the six ministries, he allocated most of the political affairs to the six ministries for classification. After summarizing them, the remaining issues were all decision-making issues. The princes gathered together in the court to discuss and solve the problems.

, there is nothing that even gives the emperor a headache, what else does he have to worry about?

Perhaps, the war in Yanzhou is the only thing worthy of the emperor's attention at present. It is no wonder that his majesty wants to conquer it personally.

Seeing that Kong Rong stopped talking, Liu Xuan waved his hand: "Now that the imperial court is in such a situation, it relies more on the efforts of the princes, but this time the battle with the Yellow Turban Army...is related to whether the imperial court can still control the counties in Guandong.

I went to Yanzhou not to fight with the Yellow Turban bandit army, but to observe Guandong Prefecture and County nearby!"

Speaking of this, what else could the princes of the court say? They looked at each other... and all had to praise: "Your Majesty is wise!" and then obediently arranged all the matters related to the personal expedition.

Fortunately, Liu Xuan, the emperor, didn't pay much attention to ostentation. Many things were just fine, and there was no need to do them in a grand way.

Therefore, the personal expedition was arranged in almost the shortest time. By the time Cao Cao received Liu Xuan's reply, the imperial army had already set off for Yanzhou.

After reading the contents of the jade talisman, Cao Cao suddenly smiled and said to the people in front of him: "Your Majesty is coming to Yanzhou!"

"Huh?" Liu Ye raised his head and looked at Cao Cao. This time, he was here as a staff officer with the army...so that Cao Cao would have someone nearby who could discuss matters with him. More importantly, Liu Ye could collect intelligence from the counties in Guandong nearby.

Then organize it in the shortest possible time, and at the same time make suggestions to Cao Cao as soon as possible to facilitate the imperial army's strategic adjustments.

After all, the current situation in the Guandong region is chaotic. Yanzhou is the site of the Four Wars. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north of the Yellow River have completely fallen out with each other. Now the two sides have mobilized their troops to fight.

In addition... Nanyang Yuan Shu suffered several heavy losses at the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, and now he is regrouping and trying to regain the territory that originally belonged to him, but now he has one more headache.

It was Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, Fan Chou and others who were originally under Dong Zhuo... but later fled to Nanxiang. They gathered their troops and occupied Nanxiang County. They stared at Yuan Shu in Nanyang with eager eyes. If Yuan Shu only focused on fighting against the Yellow Turbans,

If one is not careful, Zhang Ji may take a backseat.

This news was only delivered to Liu Ye recently. As soon as he got the news, he told Cao Cao: "Zhang Ji and others may have reached some kind of alliance with Nanhua."

Cao Cao also agreed with this, but because he couldn't take care of that end for a while, he didn't focus on the northern part of Jingzhou: "Let Yuan Shu confront Zhang Ji first!"

Anyway, he didn't expect Yuan Shu to be of any help in this war, and he didn't even expect to join forces with other princes to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban bandit army in this battle, even Sun Ce, who was still faithfully following the imperial decree.

"Before His Majesty comes, we must at least wipe out all the Yellow Turban thieves in Yanzhou!"

The emperor's charioteer personally marched... Even if Liu Xuan kept everything simple, he would not move too quickly. Cao Cao estimated that even if Liu Xuan was already on the road at this time, he would not arrive in Yanzhou until the end of autumn.

At that time, it was approaching winter, and it was impossible to fight. Even if Cao Cao had tiger and leopard cavalry, elite soldiers and horses that could not be treated as the same as ordinary people, he would not want to fight with the Yellow Turban bandits in the ice and snow. Therefore, the real time for fighting is now.

.

"There are still five months to go...enough time!"

There is only one Yanzhou Yellow Turban. Cao Cao has deployed troops and generals in the past few days and entrusted the two brothers Guan and Zhang with important tasks. It is obvious that he wants to rely on his superior strength to defeat the enemy in an honest way.

This tactic does not require any strategy, but only superior strength. Cao Cao felt that either Guan Yu or Zhang could defeat the Yellow Turbans. In order not to waste it, he asked each of them to take one.

They gathered troops and horses, divided their forces and rushed forward, launching an attack on the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans from two directions.

If this style of play had been used in the past, Cao Cao would never have used it at will - dividing his troops may have unexpected effects to a certain extent, but in most cases it is a taboo for military strategists.

Because once the troops are divided, it means that the combat effectiveness of the troops and horses will be weakened. If they cannot directly defeat the opponent with sudden action and fall into a protracted war of attrition, they will fall into passivity.

If the opponent detects his intention, it is very likely that the opponent will take the opportunity to cannibalize his troops.

But now he doesn't have to worry about this. After realizing his own strength, Cao Cao gradually adapted to the new war model, that is, as long as he is led by a super general, even if there are slightly fewer troops and horses, he can still guarantee this.

The attack power of a unit - the premise is that you don't encounter special troops such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, where all soldiers are elite.

But only the imperial court has such soldiers and horses, Yellow Turban Thieves? Even if they have the kind of magic that makes the soldiers crazy, as long as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu can break into the enemy's formation and kill the enemy generals with their powerful force, this will

The evil spell will naturally be broken. At that time, the Yellow Turban Army was inferior to ordinary people. Apart from being slaughtered by the Forbidden Army like dogs, there was nothing else they could do.

Therefore, at present, the most suitable strategy for the imperial court is not to consider whether there will be too few soldiers in an army, but to divide as many route armies as there are super generals in hand, and first use the effective strength of the Yellow Turban Army

Eliminate it and then think about other issues.

Neither Guo Jia nor Liu Ye had anything to say about Cao Cao's tactics. As Liu Xuan's most valued ministers, they had also practiced those techniques. They naturally understood the strength of super generals and knew what was currently most suitable for the imperial army.

The strategy chosen by Cao Cao is this one - of course there are other strategies, but the one chosen by Cao Cao is undoubtedly the fastest to see huge results.

In fact, before Liu Xuan replied to the letter, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Cao Hong each set off with their troops. Except for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were attacking the Yellow Turbans who occupied Taishan County, Cao Hong led his troops directly.

Running to the Lu State in the southeast direction, the order he received was to break through Lu Ti's Yellow Turban defense line in the shortest possible time, and then continue to advance forward without stopping, directly inserting into Xuzhou Dongguan County - which was equivalent to taking the Yellow Turban's retreat in Mount Tai, and fighting with

Guan and Zhang completely wiped out this Yellow Turban bandit army.

In order to accomplish this goal, Cao Hong set out with two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, including 500 of the most elite heavily armored tiger and leopard cavalry. Cao Cao believed that no one could stop Cao Hong's army and break through the Yellow Turban Army.

The line of defense is naturally not a problem.

Putting away the jade talisman that Liu Xuan sent back, Cao Cao smiled and took a picture of the map in front of him: "As soon as Zi Lian sets off, Yuan Rang will follow with five thousand forbidden troops and launch a second wave against the Yellow Turban thieves of Lu State.

Attack, take the opportunity to defeat the Yellow Turbans of the Lu State, and recapture the Lu State!"

In other words, Cao Hong's assault was not just to detour behind the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai, but also to create an opportunity for the following Xiahou to occupy Lu.

As long as everything goes well, Taishan, Dongguan, and Lu are all level, and the Yellow Turban Army will be suppressed back to the east of Yuzhou - more importantly, the defense line of the imperial troops can be rearranged, and finally connected in a line, so that they will not be like now

Stationed in Shanyang like this, it was like being surrounded by Yellow Turban thieves, which turned the overall war situation around.

This was not what Cao Cao had in mind at the beginning, but making the most appropriate adjustments according to the situation is the quality of a qualified commander. Therefore, after considering the situation at hand and determining the combat strength of the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao did not hesitate.

The strategy has changed, even from the original contraction of defense to stabilize the defense line, to a more aggressive style of play.

"Before your Majesty comes to Yanzhou, the three counties must be brought back under the control of the imperial court!"

Cao Cao ended with these words. Although there was no special effect of greatly increasing morale and inspiring the whole army, several people in the big tent were full of energy.

Whether it is for a better official position or better practice skills, it is a necessary condition for the emperor to recognize your abilities. In addition, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Liu Ye are all people promoted by Liu Xuan. They are very important to give him

Liu Xuan was also grateful for the opportunity to show off his abilities and wanted to perform well to repay Liu Xuan's attention.

For this reason, several people felt that this battle should not only be won brilliantly, but also end in the shortest possible time, so as to show their strength.

As for the Yellow Turbans? Who has time to think about their feelings.

ps is tragic, I'm stuck, it seems I can only update once today... Is it because I haven't read war articles in the past two years and I need to recharge?!
