The first thousand two hundred and sixty first chapter enemy situation
The book is followed last time.
After thinking about this, Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang in a different way. He was wondering now whether he had chosen the wrong heir?
After Li Zhi saw Cao Cao's fierce gaze, his heart skipped a beat. He always felt that if it weren't for the wrong occasion, Cao Cao would have taken off the soles of his shoes and were crazy.
Originally, how Cao Cao taught Cao Ang and Li Zhi had little to do with him.
Even if he and Cao Ang are master-apprentice relationships, they are just named and have no practical relationship.
However, now he couldn't ignore it. His daughter was about to marry Cao Ang, no matter how hard he was!
In other words, he and Cao Ang were already standing on the same boat.
Therefore, even if he was dissatisfied with Cao Ang, he could only smile bitterly and said, "Why should Brother Meng De ask Ang'er so harshly?
Although he has all kinds of problems, he is pretty good overall.
Besides, after the past two years of correction, his impatient problem has been corrected. Brother Meng De must not look at him with an old eye. This is unfair to him."
"..." After hearing Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao's face changed and he looked at Cao Ang thoughtfully.
He found that even if he wanted to abolish Cao Ang's heir now, it would be very difficult!
Not to mention anything else, Cao Ang has now become Li Zhi's son-in-law. If you want to abolish Cao Ang, you must consider Li Zhi's opinions and cannot disappoint Li Zhi's heart.
After all, the marriage between the Li family and the Cao family was made by Cao Cao.
But after the marriage, he suddenly abolished the marriage and indirectly knocked down Li Zhi's daughter. What would others think then?
Do they think Cao Cao intends to attack Li Zhi?
After thinking of this, Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "Please rest assured, brother Xingzhi, I'm just getting angry, I'm not really planning to do anything to An'er.
Moreover, I believe that with the guidance of a virtuous brother, Ang'er will definitely become a talent."
Although Cao Cao's words sounded like Li Zhi was surrendering, the reality was that he had to say this.
Because he is in a high position now, countless people will speculate on every word and action!
If he accidentally reveals a bad signal to Li Zhi, then the others will definitely rush to attack Li Zhi. What should he do then?
Therefore, he had to tell his ministers and Li Zhi clearly that he had always trusted Li Zhi very much and would not let Li Zhi down.
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi immediately understood Cao Cao's good intentions, bowed with a smile, and said, "What did Brother Meng De say? Although he is a bit talented, he is far inferior to Brother Meng De.
The reason why Brother Meng De gave Ang'er to the teacher was that he couldn't find time. Otherwise, how could he be the turn to show off his skills at the get off work?"
As the saying goes, people carry people in a sedan chair. Since Cao Cao shows his kindness to him openly, he cannot be too arrogant because of his favor, so he immediately boasted about Cao Cao.
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed after hearing Li Zhi's words, "Okay, Brother Xingzhi, you and my brother don't have to flatter each other anymore. Let's talk about it again."
"Serious business?" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi immediately frowned tightly and asked seriously: "Brother Meng De, you summon me to come, but because the princes are ready to fight to the decisive battle?"
"That's right!" Cao Cao's face also became serious and nodded, and then said: "According to information, the princes have begun to mobilize their troops frequently, and they have many contacts with each other!
So, I guess, they are probably planning to start a war with me!"
"..." After hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone in the hall was silent, and even those who were warlike like Lu Bu were full of solemn expressions!
Although they were prepared for a long time, when things were about to come, they felt very heavy!
Because this war is not about going to war with one or two princes, but about all the princes in the world!
This war is a decisive battle, a huge bet!
If you win, you will unify the world, if you lose, you will have nothing!
Therefore, no one dares to be careless, let alone speak nonsense. If they say the wrong thing and lead to the failure of the war, then their sins will be great!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zhi knew that if he didn't say anything, his morale would plummet before the war could start!
So after squinting his eyes for a while, he asked, "Brother Meng De, how many people are there in the enemy, how many soldiers and horses are there, and how many people are there for us?"
"Oh..." Cao Cao sighed, rubbed his temples with some headaches, and said, "Basically, all the princes who are famous in the world have been connected.
There are Liu Yan in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Zhang Yan in Yanzhou, and Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou.
In addition to the six of them, there are Zhang Lu from Hanzhong and Shishi from Jiaozhou.
Although the two of them did not intend to take action in person, they each sent 30,000 infantry soldiers to help.
As for the number of other princes…”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused for a moment, and the bitterness on his face became even stronger. After rubbing his eyebrows, he said, "Yizhou is a country of Heavenly Prefecture. It sends more troops, with about 200,000 people, including 10,000 naval troops and 20,000 cavalry!
Liu Biao from Jingzhou also sent 200,000 troops, including 100,000 troops in the army and 100,000 navy troops, and no cavalry.
Because Sun Ce of Jiangdong had just established a foothold and had fewer troops, he only sent 60,000 troops, including 20,000 naval troops and no cavalry.
Gongsun Zan of Youzhou sent 100,000 troops. Although there were fewer troops, there were 50,000 cavalry in his army!
Zhang Yan, Yanzhou, sent 200,000 troops, most of them were new recruits, with only about 50,000 real elite troops. Moreover, he didn't know where he got a cavalry of tens of thousands.
Although Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou was severely injured after several blows, he still sent 100,000 troops this time.
Moreover, 80,000 out of these 100,000 are cavalry!
It can be said that all the horses in Liangzhou have been summoned by him for use!"
"..." After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi calculated silently for a while, frowned and said, "In this way, the total number of enemies is about 920,000, plus some auxiliary soldiers is more than one million?!"
"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded silently after hearing Li Zhi's words.
Although he used to call himself a million troops when he went on a war.
But the water in this "million army" is very large. It is said to be a million, but in fact it is only a hundred or two hundred thousand.
And now the million-strong army of the princes is more than one million!
Moreover, most of these troops are elite, and it is very difficult to deal with them.
"..." None of the people present was a fool. After listening to Li Zhidi's summary, they were all silent.
They didn't know how to deal with these more than one million people, and their hearts were very heavy.
"Hahaha..." Looking at the silent people, Li Zhi knew that if he didn't say anything, everyone might be frightened by the enemy, so he suddenly laughed and said, "But there are only one million people, what's the big deal?!
At the beginning, the number of Yellow Turbans exceeded 2 million, but was different from the defeat of this marquis with just a few hundred thousand people?
When the army of aristocratic families attacked Luoyang, the number of people they united together exceeded one million, but in the end it was still beaten by this marquis with more than one hundred thousand people?!
So, although there are many millions of troops, it’s just that when they really fight, it’s hard to say who wins and who loses!”
"That's right!" After hearing Li Zhi's words, Guo Jia immediately understood what he meant. After nodding, he continued to say: "Although the enemy has a million troops, they are divided into seven or eight princes, and it is difficult for them to coordinate the command.
As long as I use a little trick, I can make him turn against him!
By then, a mere million army can swing their sleeves and let them disappear!”
"That's right! I will definitely defeat them!"
"This is very true! We wait..."
Li Zhi's morale-boosting words did work. Everyone who was originally frightened by the millions of troops immediately reacted after hearing Li Zhi and Guo Jia's sing and talking.
Yes, the enemy is not the same princes. As long as you find a way to alienate them, you can easily win!
Besides, even if the plan of separation is not successful, they have Li Zhi here, and it is impossible for them to lose!
You know, Li Zhi experienced more than once in a million-scale war, and he won every time, and this time must be no exception.
Li Zhixing was boasting loudly there, and a few arrogant generals even shouted loudly, "Just give them 30,000 or 50,000 people, you can defeat the enemy's millions of troops." I really don't know what to say.
Although he said it relaxed just now, he was actually very heavy in his heart!
Although he had fought a million-level war in the past, who were his enemies in the past?
They are those mobs like Yellow Turban thieves, those slave army that barely pieced together!
Not to mention millions of troops, even tens of millions of troops is easy to deal with!
The enemies we face now are different. In order to win this war, the princes sent out all elite soldiers, not much worse than their army.
Once the fight starts, it’s hard to say who wins and who loses!
After thinking of this, Li Zhi asked Cao Cao worriedly: "Brother Meng De, how many people are there?"
"..." Cao Cao was silent for a while after hearing this, and then stretched out a hand helplessly and said, "Your brother now has only more than 400,000 people. In addition to the 100,000 army of Xingzhi's virtuous brother, there are a total of 500,000 people."
"Five hundred thousand people? Why are there so few?!" Li Zhi was immediately shocked when he heard Cao Cao's words.
He never expected that Cao Cao would have only such a few people in his hands!
You know, two years ago, Cao Cao completely took over the more than 300,000 troops of the aristocratic family for himself!
