Chapter 187: Flying Daggers
When force can no longer conquer the entire world, then only tactics are left, but tactics are never accepted by people. At this time, tactics were labeled as the concept of politics, and this concept came into being.
Cao Cao gathered the remaining soldiers and defeated the generals and lost a total of about 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses. He gathered the remaining 25 soldiers and horses on the south side of the mountain directly facing Shouchun City.
Nie Zefeng gathered about 80,000 troops with him at the north gate of Shouchun City, directly confronting Cao Cao's army.
The two sides temporarily entered a period of calm, but the calm meant that a bigger storm was coming.
In Cao Cao's Chinese army tent.
Cao Cao was sitting in the middle of the play, with the civil and military generals sitting below him. Cao Cao still presided over the meeting. He asked: "Everyone, how should we deal with the current situation?"
Because the battle today and yesterday was so thrilling, not one of the generals and counselors below responded.
Cao Cao may have known that he was too harsh, so he changed his tone and spoke slowly.
"Generals, I have seen how powerful and amazing the Chu army is from the battle reports in Xuchang, but I feel that they cannot withstand a beating from Cao Cao. But I was wrong, I was really wrong.
, today we actually killed and injured 50,000 troops in just one hour, and you are all elites. Are you really afraid?"
Although Cao Cao tried to control his emotions, he still spoke faster and faster and became more excited.
These generals and ministers left their seats one after another and bowed: "We are willing to die for the Prime Minister!"
Only when Cao Cao looked at the panicked faces did he realize that he was starting to have his tiger temper again.
He waved his hand and told everyone to return to their seats, and then said: "Look, what should we do in this battle? The Xiliang Kuaiqi of the Chu Army was able to beat all our soldiers to a pulp in an instant.
What strategy should we use?”
In the end, it was Xun Yu who was the first to stand up and say: "Prime Minister, we should start a decisive battle with the enemy openly and openly. It is best for us to defeat them in one battle."
Cao Ren stood up and asked: "What Master Xun said is absolutely true, but Master Xun, have you ever thought about whether we have ever been in contact with the enemy? If we have a head-on confrontation with the enemy, our army may not be able to withstand the local attack."
, look at this, how should we deal with it?"
At this time, Liu Ye stood up and said: "Prime Minister, the reason why the Chu army is invincible is that the enemy army is more powerful. If we want to defeat the enemy army, we must defeat the enemy with numbers and defeat the minority with more. Only in this way can we defeat the enemy."
other side?"
Xia Houyuan stood up and asked: "How do you plan to consume the enemy's energy?"
Liu Ye hesitated for a long time and said: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Cao Hong shouted loudly: "It turns out that he only talks empty words!"
Civil servants and military generals competed with each other for merit, but in the war years, military commanders may have been more valuable, while civil servants had a relatively lower status. But at this time, Guo Jia, who was known as the devil's strategist under Cao Cao,
He stood up immediately and wanted to save the civil servants from covering their faces and said loudly: "Ambush from all sides!"
Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others all nodded in agreement: "Good idea, good idea!"
But these generals were a little confused and asked one after another: "Ambush from all sides, ambush from all sides?"
