"Nanzhong, how is that possible!"
Sima Yi couldn't believe his ears.
When mentioning Nanzhong, the first thing that comes to mind is a barren land.
It is not a place where normal people live at all. Only savages and barbarians would like it there.
When he first learned about Liu Zhang's journey to raise his army, Sima Yi mocked him.
He believed that Liu Zhang was a waste of manpower and a waste of time to pacify Nanzhong with material resources.
With that experience, if we expand northward, the benefits will be immeasurable!
Unexpectedly, the ridicule in the past turned into self-deprecation quietly.
How could Sima Yi accept it!
"King Wei, is the intelligence wrong? There are savages in Nanzhong, where can the iron come from?"
Cao Cao shook his head helplessly.
Doesn't he agree with Sima Yi?
But the facts are so, the evidence is so solid that it cannot be refuted or questioned at all.
"Hey, the specific situation is unknown. However, this news is absolutely true."
"There is even more terrifying news. It is said that the iron in Nanzhong is inexhaustible!"
"Coupled with a series of unique materials such as well salt and Shu brocade, Liu Zhang is already in an invincible position economically!"
The more Cao Cao talked, the more depressed he became. He felt Mount Tai pressing on his shoulders, making him unable to move.
Sima Yi realized this again and couldn't help but sigh.
"It turns out that we have reached the point where there is no way out without burning the boat..."
"yes..."
Cao Cao looked pessimistic, somewhat like a hero in his twilight years.
"Even if the Qin army doesn't invade, I can't wait any longer."
"Wait, it's a chronic death! I would rather die in battle than sit back and watch perish!"
Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao with confusion.
"It seems that starting from these 50,000 sets of armor, King Wei made the decision to burn everything."
"good!"
Cao Cao formed a fist with one hand and swung forward violently.
"Regardless of the victory or defeat in this battle, I have no retreat. These 50,000 armored troops are my determination and courage to fight to the death."
"Today's Liu Zhang is just like Yuan Shao back then. Back then, he was able to defeat the strong with the weak in the Battle of Guandu. Today, he can also replicate the success of that year!"
"Zhongda, you are resourceful and talented. You are a rare talent! As long as you work together with Gujun and his ministers, you won't have to worry about Liu Zhang's traitors!"
Sima Yi quickly stood up and bowed down.
"I will definitely die for the King of Wei!"
With these 50,000 armored troops, Sima Yi became more confident.
He is also a conceited person!
With equal conditions, why can't he defeat Liu Zhang?
Sima Yi is really dissatisfied!
If you don’t sing, you will be a blockbuster!
He wanted to defeat Liu Zhang to declare to the world the meaning of the three words Sima Yi!
The army marched all the way and finally arrived at the bank of the Yellow River in the middle of the night.
Under the premise of ensuring the safety of the army with dozens of sentry riders, Cao Cao moved forward unscrupulously to a point not far from the Han army's camp.
It has to be said that the troops and horses of our headquarters are not a little bit more elite than Xiahou Dun's army.
Although they were very tired from traveling, the army was still very quiet lying in the dark.
Almost blending into the night.
The soldiers under his command were so skilled, Cao Cao's anxious heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
He invited military advisor Sima Yi and many generals to study the Han army camp.
Although it was dark night, the Han army camp was brightly lit, which hardly affected the view.
There is almost no difference from what Xiahou Dun described.
First of all, the entire camp is indeed very huge. Looking from left to right, it is almost endless.
In addition, in the Yellow River, warships are also densely packed, and the continuous appearance almost forms a huge bridge!
Compared with the crisis of forming a camp with no retreat, the Han camp in front of us did have a retreat.
At least after defeat, the soldiers could escape on warships.
However, what surprised Cao Cao and others was that a camp was erected on the other side. They could vaguely see it, and it was not small!
Combined with the fact that Liu Zhang claimed to have an army of one million, everyone's hearts sank.
Being able to set up camps on both sides of the Yellow River, one can imagine the number of Han troops!
"Hehehe..."
At this moment, Cao Cao laughed instead.
Everyone was very puzzled and looked confused.
"King Wei, the Han army has many soldiers and generals, why are you laughing?"
Cao Cao looked relaxed, not intending to lighten the atmosphere at all.
"Don't be frightened by the number of Han troops in front of you!"
"If you think about it from another perspective, if there are more people here, wouldn't there be less people in other places?"
"Combined with the fact that Liu Zhang cannot have an army of one million, it means that other than that, other places are all feints!"
"This shows that as long as Liu Zhang is defeated here, I will win the final victory!"
"At that time, all armies will counterattack together, and the world will be settled!"
The generals couldn't help but twitch in embarrassment as they listened to Cao Cao's heroic words.
How can it be that easy?
They are not three-year-olds and cannot be coaxed that easily.
If the Han army was defeated so easily, would it be their turn to end up like this?
But I do agree with one thing.
Most of the Han troops were indeed gathered here. It is enough to prove that the pressure in Qingzhou and Bingzhou will be much less.
Winning victory here may not necessarily bring peace to the world, but it will definitely resolve this crisis.
"Zhongda, what do you think?"
Seeing that no one wanted to express his opinions, Cao Cao once again took aim at Sima Yi.
Sima Yi came up with the plan for this attack, so it was up to him to say something.
"King Wei, wait a moment."
From beginning to end, Sima Yi was observing carefully, constantly looking for flaws in the Han camp.
It's a pity that there are no omissions.
The whole camp is like an iron barrel!
However, Sima Yi's face was not disappointed, but had a strange look of joy.
"Congratulations to King Wei!"
