Chapter 823
I still remember the original history. How high-level Cao Mengde looked at Guan Yu, and how he tried his best to win him, was not available.
Now, he just dismissed it.
Speaking of Guan Yu, he is not a mediocre general. Although he is far from the position of the original historical later generations after being passed by myths, he also has the commander-in-chief. In an unchanging history, Guan Yu sits alone in Jingzhou. According to Cao Mengde, he fought against Sun Zhongmou and held Jingzhou single-handedly for a long time. Although he was defeated and killed after the war, it was not a crime of war, and it was beyond his power.
However, Cao Mengde is not valued anymore.
Guan Yu is so strong that he is stronger than ten thousand enemies. And along with the commander, can't be considered Peak. However, those who are highly skilled in martial arts are not very popular in Cao Mengde nowadays. What he values more is the ability to command.
What's more, Guan Yu is indeed arrogant, and Cao Mengde is not happy, which makes sense.
As for Zhang Fei, although he is also a bold and careful man, his weakness is even more obvious than Guan Yu. An irritable person is not a true commander.
In Cao Mengde's words, it seems that these characters are already in his palm, Zhao Yu is not surprised by this.
The city of Guangling must be broken, where can they escape? As a corner of Xuzhou, Guangling faces the Yangtze River to the south, the sea to the east, and Cao Mengde to the north to the west. What else can you do unless you jump into the sea? As long as they break the Sun Ce water army, they will be impossible to escape.
Even if Yuan Shu had heard the battle and sent a navy army, it would be beyond reach.
Zhao Yu said: "The enemy army in Guangling is a turtle in the urn, which is not worth it. But what do Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Meng De have?"
Cao Mengde thought for a moment, said with a smile: "I heard that Sun Ce has the courage of an overlord, known as Little Overlord. Zhou Yu has supervising and leading talents, and his strategic and military strategies are very talented. I want to put these two people under the account."
"It may not be easy. "
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Your soldiers are too fierce, presumably Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's family went to Jiangdong to avoid the front. If there are family fetters, I am afraid they will not bow their heads."
Cao Mengde laughed: "If you don't bow your head, why don't you kill it?"
Zhao Yu also laughed.
Yes, after this battle, Cao Mengde was sitting on the land of three states and ruled a population of nearly tens of millions. How could he be able to search for some talents, not bad for these two.
"You are in control of the three states, Yuan Benchu must have trouble sleeping and eating." Zhao Yu said: "The next war is not far away."
"It will be within a year or two. "Cao Mengde knows: "If Yuan Benchu wants to fight with me boldly, Gongsun Bogui must be calm. Although I am worried that he will go straight south, but the chances are not great."
This, Cao Mengde’s voice changed, and said: "Speaking of Gongsun Bogui, I think of Liu Bei in Guangling City. This Liu Bei is also an improper son of man. If it were not for Gongsun Bogui, Liu Xuande would not even have a place to stay. Now Gongsun Bogui was weak, he did not go to the rescue, Tao Gongzu said, he came instead. Gongsun Bogui made him into the plain to threaten the Jizhou flank, he left the plain and left, taking Gongsun Bogui’s strategic plan as a trifling matter, tsk tsk, this person..."
Liu Bei is a person, Zhao Yu has always been unattractive. It is not without reason why he came to this time and space and did not put Liu Bei among the candidates to support.
Liu Bei has been defeated and defeated repeatedly. There is no super talent, but there is perseverance. This is his advantage. However, Liu Bei, in essence, is a person whose interests are paramount. Whoever is good for him, he dares to take refuge without the slightest hesitation. When you can't see the benefits, you will also discard without the slightest hesitation.
Whether it is his senior brother Gongsun Zan or his wife and children, if something is wrong, you want to walk to walk without any delay.
Zhao Yu is not happy with such a person.
If Zhao Yu supports Liu Bei, although Liu Bei may treat him like an ancestor, he does not like it.
"A nobody, what he did." Zhao Yu said: "When Guangling is broken, can he still fly?"
Cao Mengde agreed with these words: "Sir What I said is. Zixiao captured Lujiang and Jiujiang, and I broke Guangling here, and Jiangbei would not have a place to stand for them. Unless you throw into the river, you don’t want to run anywhere."
"Jianghuai started with it. Then, it’s better to avoid war.” Zhao Yu said: “Take the Yangtze River as a natural danger and press down on the east of the Yangtze River. With the Yellow River as a natural danger, Yuan Shao will be rejected from the north. As for Liu Biao in Jingzhou, the dog of guarding the household, leave it alone. You can be safe. Govern people’s livelihood with peace of mind. So it doesn’t take three or five years. There will be enough soldiers and food, and the people will be rich and rich. When the time comes, it’s not false talk to send troops to four battles, and sweep the world."
and said: "Yan, Yu and Xu are located between the big rivers. The navy must be on the agenda. Otherwise, facing Jiangdong Yuan Shu, you can only passively defend, I am afraid that there will be no peace along the river. Then Zhou Gongjin is the best at water war, I will help you get him Live, for your use. Give me another three or five months, when you can create a warship with superior performance, when the time comes Dajiang Dahe is a natural danger for people, and easy for you. Offensive and defensive, you can fight whatever you want. "
Cao Mengde was overjoyed, his beard curled up with excitement.
"With a gentleman, I can sit back and relax!"
It is night.
midnight.
Xu Huang led his troops to the Dongling Pavilion in the dark, and then Xiahou Dun also led 5,000 soldiers and horses secretly following him, and wanted to stay outside the Dongling Pavilion.
Cao Mengde stood at the gate, Zhao Yu and others followed him, seeing the army submerged into the night, Zhao Yu said: "Meng De and me five hundred Qingqi, I will go to Tangyi to wait for the rabbit."
The county town around Guangling has a Hailing to the east and Yuguo to the west. And Tangyi is still in the west of Yuguo. Yuguo is on the west side of Cao Mengde's barracks. Cao Mengde's army was outside the city of Guangling, blocking the main roads in the west and north. Regardless of the subsequent war, the enemy will be defeated. When the navy was destroyed, if they wanted to escape, they had to go west.
In the face of a big defeat, abandoning the armor and cutting off the provisions, those who are fortunate enough to escape from the Guangling battlefield must collect the provisions along the way. If you are too close to the country, dare not delay, Tang Yi is the best choice.
So Zhao Yu is going to the village to wait for the rabbits.
It is Tangyi who is guarding the tree, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are waiting for the rabbit.
What kind of person Zhou Yu? Zhao Yu guessed that even if Xun Gongda's tactics were brilliant, Zhou Yu would see through it. With Zhou Yu's decision, he would definitely advise Sun Ce to flee overnight instead of fighting Cao Jun. However, Sun Ce was quite a bit stiff, and he certainly didn't want to flee without a fight. Will cutting off one's means of retreat, insisting on coming to attack Cao Jun's camp, and then being full of bags. However, Zhou Yu must be left behind and it is not difficult to escape.
Fleeing after defeat is very different from fleeing directly.
If you flee directly, and you are prepared to withdraw, you won’t lose too much provisions, maybe you won’t go to the neighborhood to search for provisions. Once defeated and fled again, the provisions will be lost, and other naval camps will be destroyed, such as a stray dog, if there is no grain, it will be forced to search the town.
So Zhao Yu went to the village to wait for the rabbit, not without reason.
