Cao Cao was determined to fight and immediately led his army to the river.
Although his determination was unshakable, Cao Cao did not act recklessly.
In order to ensure the absolute safety of the army, sentries were posted in all directions.
The furthest point extends fifty miles!
Even if the Han army has an ambush, it can be discovered and given an early warning at the first time.
In addition, the land in Jizhou is flat and the roads are very friendly to the passage of large armies.
The Wei army marched in an orderly manner, with great speed and neat formation.
He looks like an elite soldier!
This kind of posture and momentum of the military formation made Cao Cao feel more confident.
Especially this feeling of being like an arm and commanding, an invincible momentum surges in my heart.
The influence of the previous cannibalism is constantly being eroded.
"Zhongda, do you know why Xiahou Dun's soldiers are no match for Gude's troops?"
The journey was uneventful, and Cao Cao chatted with Sima Yi again.
There was a sense of pride in his tone.
Even though they were fighting each other, it still proved the strength of their troops.
"I...I don't know, please let the King of Wei make it clear!"
Sima Yi thought for a moment and decided to play dumb.
Cao Cao obviously wanted to show off, how could Sima Yi dissuade him?
"Hehehe... Zhongda can speak frankly, but don't care too much!"
"In that case, I will venture to make a guess..."
Cao Cao smiled and nodded.
Sima Yi pondered for a while before speaking.
"King Wei, I feel that General Xiahou's soldiers have just experienced a defeat and fled, which was caused by the lack of fighting spirit."
"If the two armies were to confront each other, and there were no other factors to interfere, they might not be defeated so easily..."
"Hahaha!"
Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, even more proud.
"Zhongda, you sometimes make mistakes!"
Sima Yi quickly bowed his hands.
"I am confused..."
"It doesn't matter!"
Cao Cao pointed ahead, where the former army was.
"What you are talking about is only one side! But Gu can tell you that even if the two armies confront each other, Gu's army will still crush Xiahou Dun without any accidents!"
Sima Yi looked puzzled.
"Please ask King Wei to clear up the confusion!"
"It's because Gu's army replenished a batch of equipment before the war started!"
Cao Cao was very confident.
"The reason why Liu Zhang is invincible is not because of his outstanding strategy, how brave his generals are, or how elite his soldiers are, but because of his equipment!"
"How can a group of soldiers wearing leather armor interact with soldiers in full iron armor?"
Sima Yi was stunned and couldn't help but stand up and look at the front army.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by soldiers and could not be seen very clearly.
"King Wei, could it be..."
"Exactly!"
Cao Cao confirmed it very readily.
"Fifty thousand front troops, everyone wearing iron armor!"
As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi was really shocked.
When he went on the expedition, he did see many soldiers wearing iron armor.
Unexpectedly, there were actually fifty thousand!
"When did King Wei create such an iron-blooded warrior? I admire him!"
"Hahaha!"
Cao Cao laughed again and stroked his beard more smoothly.
"During this period, I learned from my pain and pains, and painstakingly studied the secret of Liu Zhang's invincibility."
"Finally, I discovered this law!"
"Liu Zhang has no ability, that is, he relies on the advantage of armor! Once the advantage of armor is no longer exclusive to Liu Zhang, the Han army will have nothing to fear!"
Immediately, Cao Cao gave Sima Yi another meaningful look.
"Do you think that Gu Zhen would dare to attack the Han army camp because of the taboos of a military strategist who has set up camp with his back to the water?"
"If we didn't have these 50,000 sets of iron armor as our backing, what would we do if we launched a surprise attack?"
"At that time, the lonely soldiers will still be unable to do anything to the Qin army."
Sima Yi then had an epiphany and looked at Cao Cao with shock in his eyes.
It seems that he still thinks too simply about Cao Cao.
"The King of Wei is a great talent, and I admire him greatly! With the King of Wei here, why should Liu Zhang be afraid?"
"Hey, Zhongda is so complimentary."
Cao Cao was modest in words, but honest in body.
He allowed Sima Yi to worship without stopping him, but in the end Sima Yi got up on his own.
"Since King Wei has such a sharp weapon, why didn't he take it out earlier?"
Cao Cao's smile suddenly froze and he shook his head in embarrassment.
"Hey, these 50,000 sets of iron armor have completely destroyed the strength of nine cows and two tigers!"
"It can be said that it is not easy to get it after a lot of hard work!"
"I have to say that Liu Zhang, a traitor, has such a far-sighted vision that it is indeed difficult to reach him!"
Sima Yi didn't understand.
"King Wei, what do you mean by this?"
"Zhongda, think about it, where did Liu Zhang's armor come from?"
Cao Cao's words were profound and quite a bit like sighing.
But Sima Yi's eyes were dull and he didn't notice at all.
This question crushed Sima Yi's brain.
Where did the armor come from?
yes! Where did Liu Zhang get it?
For so many years, it seems that the world has acquiesced in the appearance of Liu Zhang's army wearing iron armor.
No one has ever doubted how Liu Zhang found so many armors.
"King Wei, how did Liu Zhang appear?"
"Change? No!"
Cao Cao sighed again, with a look of admiration in his eyes.
"I have to say that Liu Zhang was really far-sighted. After he captured Chengdu, he first restarted the mint and stabilized the collapsing prices, and then built a large-scale iron smelting in Yizhou."
"As long as there is iron, he can continuously produce iron armor!"
Sima Yi nodded repeatedly, but still didn't understand.
"King Wei, this is all easy to say, but where does the iron come from?"
As we all know, iron raw materials are extremely precious materials.
As long as there is iron, any prince or warlord can build iron armor.
Not to mention Cao Cao who controlled the Central Plains, Hebei.
Even Liu Bei and Sun Quan who were young at that time could do the same.
The army of these people cannot be equipped with iron armor, not because there is no opportunity to build it, but because there is no iron!
Even weapons can't cover it, let alone armor!
Cao Cao raised his head and looked sideways to the south.
"It's the land of Nanzhong!"
