"Although time is tight, there is more than enough. There is no need to be so anxious." Guo Jia smiled softly and said seriously, "What's more, Yanzhou is a vast country, so there are not many things that really need to be prepared in advance."
Attacking cities and demolishing strongholds is definitely not within their scope of consideration.
We only have so little time to attack the city, but if we encounter someone who is good at defending the city and can't hold on, it will basically take Huo Huo and the others several months.
"Shall we directly lead the cavalry out of Yanzhou? Isn't this too risky?" Guan Yu naturally understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words.
"No, Cao Mengde has brought a large number of troops to the Guanzhong area. The number of troops still left in the Yanzhou area is not large, and most of them are mainly county soldiers. The main reason for their staying is, It's just to move people and food, move them to the Guanzhong area, and further develop Guanzhong..." Lu Su responded immediately out of political management.
"What? Relocation at this time?" After hearing this, Guan Yu showed a hint of surprise and said in shock, "What about the food tax?"
"Although it's hard to believe, I have to admit that even if the food is harvested in advance, the food will still be edible, but the quantity will be much smaller..." Sima Yi said quite easily, relying on his years of reading experience.
As for the consequences of harvesting food early, whether it is worth it or not, you can basically tell at a glance.
Being able to harvest food and take people away, even a minor injury of this degree is a small problem for Cao Mengde, and it can even be said to be no problem at all.
After all, for the sake of planning and governance, when something should be given up, it must be given up, otherwise it will only become a burden.
In this regard, Cao Cao, who is very good at making choices, is quite experienced.
The particularity of the Yanzhou area is destined to be an area that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the cost of defense is extremely high.
In contrast, the Guanzhong area does not lack fertile land, but only lacks some Han people.
The merger of the two can not only get rid of the burden of Yanzhou, but also enrich the number of people in the Guanzhong area, consolidate their foundation, and make further efforts for future conditions and treatment.
Relying on the sky passes around the Guanzhong area, it is easy to block Liu Bei.
Dong Zhuo of Xiliang, who had lost his valor and heroism, could rely on these sky passes to stop the eighteen princes. Couldn't Cao Cao do the same?
"In that case, let's prepare first and use cavalry to defeat Yanzhou..." After Guan Yu listened carefully, he made a decision without further delay.
Although there are many cavalry under his command, there are not many elite cavalry, and they are not as large as the elite infantry.
However, even this small force was enough to pin Cao Cao's soldiers in Yanzhou into the ground.
After all, as a force that defends the city, it is not subject to harassment by large-scale nomads like border gates, so it has rich combat experience.
Under such circumstances, how could a local county soldier with little combat experience be a match for the battle-hardened veterans under his command?
In this aspect, Guan Yu is extremely confident.
This confidence comes not only from one's own strength, but also from the strength of the soldiers.
Zhang Fei, who also received the message, went to Guan Yu's army after simple processing, and naturally heard Guan Yu's words.
"If you ask me, I should have used my Zhangba snake spear to stab that thief Cao, and now there wouldn't be so many things." Zhang Fei said in a buzzing voice, "Am I right? Er elder brother?"
Zhang Fei's voice and movements perfectly explain what it means that the voice comes first and the person comes last.
Zhang Fei's voice can be heard from all the distance. This voice is very discriminating and penetrating.
When Sima Yi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. Judging from his words and actions, Zhang Fei seemed to have no harm except being a little reckless.
"The former Cao Mengde was also a great man of his generation!" Guan Yu said with emotion, stroking his beard.
Guan Yu still admired Cao Cao, of course, only before the butcher's knife was swung.
At least during the Hulao Pass period, Guan Yu was quite pleased with Cao Cao, just as Cao Cao was pleased with Guan Yu.
But unfortunately, they all went their own ways.
Guan Yu still persists in his persistence and continues to work hard.
Cao Cao adapted to the situation and changed his behavior and thoughts, making himself more adaptable to the world and able to gain his own power more quickly.
"In terms of ability alone, Cao Mengde has always been an outstanding person. It's a pity that we have different views and do not work together. His behavior is wrong..." Lu Su didn't think there was anything wrong with such an evaluation.
After all, Cao Cao's attitude back then spread to the entire world.
Just like in the past when Yuan Shao drew his sword and looked like Dong Zhuo, he was wise, powerful and high-spirited!
But now it seems that there is still a gap between the two. Of course, there is a gap between the two in terms of decisiveness and choice ability.
"There is no right or wrong. It's just that he is on a different path from us, so we just think he is wrong. If we really want him to be wrong, we must let him fail and nail him to the pillar of shame. Go..." Sima Yi said calmly, as if his language was correct.
Sima Yi, who has been studying the art of war for many years, now has only one idea in his mind: to defeat Cao Cao on the battlefield, and then hang Cao Cao on the pillar of shame.
The essence of a military strategist is only one, and that is to win.
And history has also told him that the final result is written by the winner. If that is the case, then go directly to obtain the final victory and write it how you want. Aren't they the one who has the final say?
Guo Jia looked at Sima Yi with a strange look in his eyes. Although he thought there was nothing wrong with what he said, it still felt a little strange when it came out of Sima Yi's mouth...
"The winner will write the result?" Lu Su frowned when he heard this, then shook his head and did not refute.
On the one hand, what they need to do is not in this direction. On the other hand, what Sima Yi said seems to be right.
"Only by being upright can we be impartial. If only the victors write the results, how can the world's mouth be blocked?" Guo Jia recalled something and smiled with emotion, "Zhongda, you have to read the book. Comprehensive, you missed it..."
