Chapter 273 Please fight!
The rain kept falling, and the tiger and leopard cavalry camp tent moved to the inner city. At this moment, there were still many houses in Jiangling City that were uninhabited, and there were no more than 3,000 people. Of course, Cao Chong's move was just afraid that the gunpowder and grenade would be wet and could not be used, so he was a little worried.
Cao Chong had already known about the war ahead. Every day, he would go to Cao Chong's camp to report military information to Cao Chong.
With the day by day, what happened ahead is vivid.
Cao Chong discussed matters with Zhou Buyi and Guo Xiao and others in the camp every day, preparing for when to go to fight.
The timing of the battle is naturally very particular. You can't fight too quickly or fight too quickly. Liu Bei's vitality has not been consumed. Cao Chong and the tiger and leopard cavalry may not have any effect. But if the time passes and Liu Bei's army defeats Cao's army, or Cao's army defeats Liu Bei, then he will come to Jingzhou himself and he will really be here for a trip.
Now, it seems to be a good opportunity, so Cao Chong called Zhou Buyi, Guo Xiao, Zhao Yan and others in, and even Zhou Dufu Dian Man Gaoyi was present.
"Everyone, do you have any opinions on the current situation?"
Zhou Dufu was naturally stupid and said nothing, asking him to charge in the battle. But if he wanted him to use his brain, it would be equivalent to killing him. So the reckless man touched his head and kept giggling on the court.
If it weren't for Zhou Ying's sake, Cao Chong would have slapped him.
Usually, Zhou Buyi, Guo Xiao and Zhao Yan and the other two speak in this kind of scene. Cao Chong called everyone out. On the one hand, he also had a slight hope for them and hoped to make strange plans. On the other hand, he hoped that they could learn a lesson in the affairs of Zhou Buyi and others.
It should be noted that there are more people who can charge into battle, but there are very few who can fight and have strategies.
Cao Chong just hopes that he has such a group of people under his command.
"Wen Zhi, how do you think?"
Zhou Buyi stepped out of the line, bowed to Cao Chong, then turned halfway to look at everyone present, and said, "Wenzhi thought that the young master could ask for a fight!"
Please fight!
Cao Chong actually had this idea, because the situation is clear now. Cao Cao could not capture Wuling City for a long time, and it may be futile to attack again. If Cao Chong can open the gap at this time, it will definitely be a top priority for the entire battle!
If Xun You and Jia Xu offered Cao Cao a strange plan to deal with Liu Bei at this moment, it would be not so easy for Cao Chong to encounter this situation in front of him.
Of course, although Cao Chong agreed with Zhou Buyi's plan in his heart, Cao Chong did not show his recognition of Zhou Buyi on his face. Cao Chong's face was expressionless at this moment, and it was impossible to tell whether Cao Chong supported or opposed Zhou Buyi's plan from the expression on his face.
"Does Fenghe have any thoughts?"
Guo Xiao has a little bit of Guo Fengxiao's style. Of course, compared with Guo Jia, Guo Xiao is still a bit worse than Guo Jia, but even if it is not as good as Guo Jiaqi's plan, it would be enough for the current situation.
"Young Master!" Guo Xiao took a step forward, bowed to Cao Chong, and said, "Guo Xiao thought he was going to fight!"
Hey~
Cao Chong became curious in his heart. Under normal circumstances, Guo Xiao sang against Zhou Buyi, but he didn't expect that the husband and wife would come with him now.
"Why?" Cao Chong wanted to know the reason.
Guo Xiao smiled and said, "The war ahead is stalemate. If the young master can defeat the enemy, this is the first merit. Secondly, the young master has a sharp weapon of mortar and has a chance of winning in this battle. The last and most important point is that if the young master is trapped in Jiangling, no matter whether the victory or defeat is ahead, the young master must be a timid person in the hearts of a group of veterans. This is not appropriate!"
Cao Chong nodded. These three points are indeed the three biggest reasons for his own battle.
First, you have a mortar and you can win if you go there. Second, if you win this battle, you will make great contributions. Third, you can get the eye of the general in the army. This is what Cao Chong wants most.
Why are the generals in the army standing on Cao Pi’s side?
That's because Cao Pi went to the battlefield, fought wars, and had contact with soldiers and generals. Therefore, the generals in the army praised Cao Pi, but what if he did better than Cao Pi?
Will it be praised by these generals who focus on military merits?
Cao Chong is not sure about this, but what is certain is that his prestige in the army in the future may be able to confront Cao Pi, which is crucial!
Since everyone had no objection, Cao Chong was not polite and said to Zhou Buyi: "If you ask Zhan Shu, please ask Wen Zhi to write it as a writer, can you?"
Although Cao Chong is a little literary, he cannot quote classics after all, and the letter of request for battle written is not very stylish, so it is better to let professionals write it.
"No!" Zhou Buyi immediately received the order. Just as Cao Chong was about to let you retreat, Gao Yi stepped forward.
"Young Master, I think there is something wrong with it!"
Cao Chong stretched out his hand and signaled Gao Yi to continue.
"High team leader has something to say, so you can speak freely!"
Gao Yi clasped his fists at Cao Chong, and then said, "The autumn rain continued for more than ten days. At this time, the official road of Jingzhou was already muddy and the soldiers were still difficult to walk. How could the mortar be transported to leave?"
Hearing Gao Yi's words, Cao Chong frowned again.
Yes, why didn’t I consider this?
In Jingzhou, water systems are everywhere. In some places, it is difficult to leave even if it does not rain. When it rains, it will be even more impossible to leave, let alone a few hundred kilograms of iron lumps like mortars.
Moreover, if the water vapor is too heavy, Cao Chong's mortar shells may be silenced. What should I do?
Looking at Cao Chong's frowning, Zhao Yan stood up.
"Since the land of Jingchu is full of water, why not transport it by boat?"
Cao Chong's eyes lit up after hearing this, but then the bright colors in his eyes became darker.
"The water net can send boats along the water, but how can you sail against the water? Especially on rainy days, the water volume is huge, so how can humans resist it?"
When Zhao Yan heard this, it seemed that the same thing happened, and his eyes became much dimmed a lot.
At this time, Dian Man, who had always been silent, spoke.
"You can take a boat to pass those difficult roads. If other roads are not too difficult to march, you can ask the soldiers to carry mortars."
When Cao Chong heard Dian Man's words, his eyes regained their glory. Cao Chong walked towards the sand table in front of him, and finally a smile appeared in his eyes.
It’s true that if you follow the tributaries of the Han River, you can indeed avoid those complicated places with water systems. Cao Chong’s eyes lit up, and his eyes looking at Dian Man also had other meanings.
Dian Man is not brave but scheming to see this problem in the details.
"Even so, Wen Zhi will write first, Fenghe Deshui, you will inform Cao Xiu and others, and then say that we will set off the camp in a few days."
"promise!"
Not long after, the cavalry left Jiangling City and rushed to the main tent of Cao's army outside Wuling City on the muddy road. In Jiangling City, under the restlessness of the tiger and leopard cavalry, he finally recovered a little bit of his vitality.
