Chapter nine hundred and eighty nine: leak
At Yizhou College, the incident of Wu Shun cheering students on the playground was not long after, and Cao Cao got the news. Naturally, he also learned from it that Shu Kingdom did not move him now because he was short of food.
But since there is a shortage of food, why are the Wuling troops surrounding him still so proactive as if they are nothing?
Recently, collisions of all sizes between Wuling Army and Cao Army have occurred many times. Their Cao Army lost more than they won, especially the scouts' troops suffered heavy losses.
No matter what, Cao Cao knew about the news of the actions after the autumn harvest in Shu Kingdom, and after he learned about it, he had a bottom line in his heart.
There is still half a year before the autumn harvest. We must plan this period. Thinking that the Wuling Army will attack in large numbers after the autumn harvest, Cao Cao frowned deeply.
"The king, the Shu army is short of food now, so we are eager to find a war. I suggest shrinking our troops and keeping a dangerous place without any unnecessary consumption."
Chen Yu left the list and put forward a constructive suggestion.
"Zhongde, it is not feasible to shrink the troops. Now the Shu army is aggressive. If we do not respond, our morale will be worrying. Besides, the Wuling army is unable to conquer cities and territories now. If we retreat to this level of confrontation, how should we fight the war after the autumn harvest?"
Xun You came out, but he disagreed with Chen Yu's opinion. His reason was simple: At present, the Wuling army around Lu State is just a vanguard that mainly harasses. Once the Cao army avoids war, it is inevitable that the morale will be greatly reduced.
"Two gentlemen, although our army was at a disadvantage in the confrontation between Wuling Army, the other party was not feeling well. Now they are short of food. As long as we hold on, it will be time to fight back soon."
At this time, a general came out. When everyone saw that it was Xiahou Dun, a powerful general in Cao's army.
In the main hall of Lu, civil and military ministers continued to discuss. Some advocated avoiding war and resting, while others took the initiative to seek war to curb the Wuling Army.
Cao Cao did not come to a conclusion in the end. Both sides' opinions made sense. Cao Cao was in a dilemma for how to choose.
In war, losses are essential, but they can boost morale and increase domestic confidence.
Defend, reduce losses, reserve enough power for future wars, and can hide or prepare some killer weapons to use to fight the enemy.
"Let's do this, the army will not retreat. The Wuling Army has harassed severely and will increase troops in the area to suppress their rampant arrogance. At the same time, the domestic training of soldiers and the manufacturing of weapons will be strengthened. After the autumn harvest, prepare to compete with Wu Shun!"
In the end, Cao Cao still tends to fight!
Retreat is not Cao Cao's character. Since he wants to fight, and it is a local war, he has to suppress the Wuling Army.
He wants to show the outside world that although Lu State is small, it is definitely not weak!
"Your Majesty, maybe you are making a fuss about autumn harvest!"
Chen Yu went out again.
"Oh? What trick did Zhongde teach me?" Cao Cao's expression turned up. Since Chen Yu said so, he should have a complete plan.
"King, Shu Kingdom has to wait for the autumn harvest, so of course it can harvest huge amounts of food in autumn... It can be sent to Shu Kingdom to destroy their autumn harvest."
Chen Yudao.
As for how to destroy and who needs to be sent to do what, after Cao Cao agreed, he would naturally present the memorial.
"Destroy the autumn harvest of Shu Kingdom? OK! Zhongde quickly!!" Cao Cao was excited.
All the ministers of Lu State fell into a vicious circle. They all considered the strength of the Wuling Army and thought about how to deal with the Wuling Army without considering the problem in a comprehensive way.
Now Chen Yu has considered that as long as the autumn harvest of Shu Kingdom is not smooth, the time to attack Lu Kingdom will be postponed. If there is not enough food and grass, no one will take risks.
Cao Cao now needs a feasible plan, and he is looking at Chen Yu with bright eyes!
"King, I have sorted out some, please take a look!" Chen Yu presented the memorial that he had prepared long ago and said.
After Chen Yu's point, the ministers of Lu State were emitting their thoughts and began to think about repelling the Wuling Army from other places. The atmosphere in the hall became much more lively!
"Very good, good!"
After reading Chen Yu's memorial, Cao Cao was very pleased and praised him several times in a row!
"Master, is this plan feasible?" Chen Yu asked.
His plan requires considerable investment and great sacrifices.
To disrupt the autumn harvest of Shu, we have to find a way from the Shu people. It is not easy to mobilize Shu people to cause trouble.
But things are not afraid of being difficult to do, but they are afraid of not thinking about how to do it! Chen Yu has some solutions to do it.
"This method is feasible, so I will leave it to Zhongde full responsibility. As long as it can destroy the autumn harvest of Shu Kingdom, I will remember your first contribution!" Cao Cao said to Chen Yu.
He knew that Chen Yu was a ruthless person, so this matter seemed difficult, but it would not be so difficult to hand it over to the ruthless person.
"I thank you for yourselves!"
Chen Yu hurriedly thanked him, not knowing whether it was thanking Cao Cao for adopting his plan or thanking Cao Cao for his promise to him.
In any case, Chen Yu will plan to destroy the harvest of Shu Kingdom.
...
"Why did the Sima family intend to vote for our country of Lu? I wonder what the king wanted?"
After the Wuling Army incident was overturned, Xun You came out and brought up another major event!
Not long ago, the Sima family made a statement that their Qilin son was about to be born. It is rumored that Sima Yi, the second son of the Sima family, had a great plan and was able to be as talented as a dragon and phoenix chick in Shu Kingdom.
His teacher gave him the name of Tsukaruto.
Tomb Tiger!
The tomb tiger means a fierce tiger lying in a stone tomb, which is used to describe a talented person who is waiting for the time to rise.
Cao Cao already knew that the Sima family wanted to surrender, and he also needed the help of the gentry class. Accepting the Sima family would undoubtedly make a good start.
However, Cao Cao once heard that Sima Yi looked at him as an eagle and a wolf. This person must be an ambitious person. If he uses it well, everyone will be good. If he doesn't use it well, he won't know how he dies.
However, compared with the threat from Shu, Sima Yi is almost negligible. After all, if Shu is attacked, if it cannot withstand it, the world is Cao Cao!
If Sima Yi was used and Wuling Army retreated, Cao Cao was confident that he could control this talent.
"I decided to accept the Sima family and Gongda could go to the Sima family for more. I heard that the two sons of the Sima family were no less than those of the military advisors of Shu Kingdom, and I was eager to meet him."
Cao Cao said.
When Xun You heard Cao Cao make a choice, he naturally happily accepted the order. The Sima family made many arrangements for Sima Yi to enter the power center of Lu.
But what Cao Cao and the Sima family didn't know was that Wu Shun had been preparing to attack the Sima family, but the time was not yet ripe enough.
Sima Yi was selling for the price and Cao Cao did not want to come out before he reached the desperate situation!
Sima Yi is also a conceited person. How could he easily come forward to give advice on Cao Cao? A minister has less face. What Sima Yi wants is Cao Cao who comes to invite him in person.
However, Cao Cao had the majesty of Cao Cao. Now the Lu State encountered some difficulties, but they had a way to deal with it. Moreover, Sima Yi's reputation was only spread among the gentry and had not been truly displayed to the outside world.
