Chapter 846 Sima Yi Is About to Cause Trouble Again

Xuzhou, Pengcheng. Cao Cao was gathering his subordinates to discuss matters. After the meeting, Sima Yi was left alone. He still had something to report to his lord.

After everyone else had retreated and only Cao Cao and Cao Ren Cheng Yu were left in the meeting hall, Sima Yi said: "My lord, it is only a matter of time before Yuan Shu's defeat. Next, my lord must consider the battle against the Anton Army."

With that said, Sima Yi opened the map of Yanzhou and explained his thoughts to Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao didn't understand why Sima Yi targeted the Anton Army so much, Cao Cao still liked his counselor's far-sighted gaze.

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and said, "What good plan does Zhongda have?"

"In my opinion, the Anton Army and our Yanzhou Army will definitely have a life-and-death battle after Yuan Shu's fall, so my lord should start preparations now."

With that said, Sima Yi began to tell Cao Cao his thoughts. In his opinion, in order to completely defeat the Anton Army, the first thing to do is to prune its branches and leaves, and the first targets are Qingzhou and Yuzhou. Although the Anton Army has two counties in Qingzhou, together with Sizhou, they are like a pair of pliers, restricting the development of Cao Cao's army.

In Sima Yi's view, after successfully wiping out Yuan Shu's army, his own power had reached the extent of owning more than ten counties, so the next step was the battle with the Anton army for the Central Plains.

However, before the war, the two troubles of Qingzhou and Yuzhou must be resolved. The two counties of Qingzhou are owned by the Andong Army, but in Sima Yi's view, Qingzhou is far away from Sizhou. Although there are ships coming and going to collude, as long as the self-love army is fast enough, it can achieve victory before the Sizhou Army can react.

But if he wanted to attack Qingzhou, it was not enough to rely on his own army from the north, so Langya's Tuberose came into Sima Yi's sight. Based on his observation, he found that Tuberose's strength is already very good now. Although it only has one county in Xuzhou, it can be said that it has sufficient troops and food, and his military advisor is also said to be quite capable.

In addition, Tuberose has surrendered many soldiers and generals of the Xuzhou Army, so it is fully capable of attacking Qingzhou. Sima Yi's idea was to unite with Tuberose and use the opportunity to divide the Andong Army's two counties equally afterward as bait to attack the two counties of Qingzhou simultaneously from the north and south. As for the power of Tuberose after it became stronger, in Sima Yi's opinion, after he defeated the Anton Army, Tuberose's power would no longer be a concern.

In attacking Qingzhou, Sima Yi also had another purpose, which was to cut off the trade between the Anton Army and Jiangdong. According to his observation, the Anton Army has transited through Qingzhou this year, obtaining a huge amount of grain and grass from Jiangdong. In order to alleviate the problem of insufficient food and grass for Anton's army.

In his view, capturing Qingzhou was a double win.

As for Yuzhou, it is also another source of food for the Andong Army. For the Yuzhou Army, Sima Yi's method is to unite Jiangdong Sun Ce. In Sima Yi's view, although the Anton Army also sent troops to attack Yuan Shu this time, the territory it occupied in the end would still be handed over to the Yuzhou Army. After all, Sizhou and Huainan must be too far apart, and judging from what the Anton Army did in Runan this year, It can be seen that every time a city is captured, all the materials are divided among several families, and at most they recruit some more craftsmen.

After Yuan Shu's defeat, he can unite with Sun Ce's army to attack Yuzhou. At that time, even if Huainan is transferred to Sun Ce's army, it will be no problem. After taking all of Yuzhou, he will have monopolized the four states of Qingyan, Xuyu, and the Andong Army will be destroyed by then. It's just a matter of time.

Once Anton's army is destroyed, it is not impossible for Cao Cao's army to occupy all the Central Plains. It is not impossible to resist Yuan Shao in the north and resist Sun Ce in the south.

It can be said that Sima Yi's idea has completely impressed Cao Cao. After listening to Sima Yi's strategy, Cao Cao also fell into deep thought. It is a very feasible strategy to first clip his wings and then take his head.

Not only Cao Cao, but also Cheng Yu and Cao Ren next to him were greatly moved. Cheng Yu hugged his beard and said with a smile: "Zhongda's strategy is feasible, my lord, you can really make preparations in advance. And someone also heard that Yuzhou Kong Min has already begun to ask the Anton Army to help train soldiers and horses.

Although I find it ridiculous, I also remind my lord that General Cao Hong of Qiao County can indeed be prepared. "

"Yes, Meng De, not only Zi Lian, but also Miaocai, you can let him start preparations. Yuan Shu was defeated in just one or two years. Taking advantage of this period, the Anton Army did not dare to attack us. Just seize the time to train your troops," Cao Ren also said at the side;

The opinions of several people made Cao Cao finally make up his mind and said: "Okay, Zhongda will carefully improve the strategy, and then discuss it with Zhongde, Wenruo and Ziyang. After it is finalized, we will start to implement it. As for armaments, I sent a letter to Zi Lian and Miaocai today, asking them to start secret preparations. "

"My lord is wise!" After hearing this, the three people bowed quickly and said;

Now Huangfu Chaobo has got the news about the deal between Lu Bu and Yuan Shaojun. He is still a little worried about this. After all, Yuan Shaojun's strength is not guaranteed. Now that Lu Bujun has provided them with the war horses, it will definitely not be the case by then. So easy to deal with.

You must know that the battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was not that difficult in history. But now I must solve this big problem of Cao Cao as soon as possible before I can concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao. Otherwise, I will be surrounded by enemies like Cao Cao. Enemy.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but cast his eyes on several of his allies in the north of Bingzhou. Today's allies can be said to have greatly increased their strength. After one or two years of operation, their strength has increased a lot. Moreover, basically each family has also recruited several historical generals, although the strength of those generals is not as strong as those of their own subordinates.

For example, Mao Jie, Mao Xiaoxian, Qian Zhao and Qian Zijing, who are under Zhao Zilong, are important generals under Cao Cao in history. Mao Jie is more versatile in both civil and military affairs. He can lead troops to fight and guard a place, which makes his strength increase a lot. In October of this year, Zhao Zilong led two troops, plus some reinforcements from the other few people, and successfully captured Jiuyuan City, the county city of Wuyuan.

Like Qian Zhao, who was originally a general under Liu Bei. After Liu Bei was ambushed by Lu Bu and disappeared, he led hundreds of cavalry to break through the grassland in the north. After several twists and turns, he appeared in Wuyuan and was finally recruited by Zhao Zilong, who stepped on the dog shit.

Lao Du, who occupied Chengyi, also recruited two generals, one named Zhao Gong and the other named Xiping Qu Yan. Although these two people are not very famous, they have appeared in the history books of the Three Kingdoms or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although their abilities are not outstanding, they are better than the generals that the players have transferred themselves.
