Chapter 6 Cao Cao Inspects His Troops, Victory Guaranteed



For Daji, the most important thing is to try hard to do what the emperor likes.

For example, governing this country well.

She has found her goal, to be a good wife and help Ying Yuan govern the Qin Dynasty well.

Until midnight.

Ying Yuan temporarily put aside the memorials and came to the dragon bed.

Daji snuggled in his arms.

Ying Yuan smelled a fragrance entering his nostrils, and the breathing of the two gradually became heavier.

Daji...she...

It's like it has no bones, soft and charming.

After a while, her whole body collapsed on Ying Yuan's chest.

The atmosphere around gradually became gentle.

...

Daji couldn't help but feel hot, "Your Majesty, Daji loves you..."

"come over."

Ying Yuan sat upright on the edge of the bed and ordered without question: "Kneel down! Call me..."

"Yes, Master..."

Daji understood what he wanted and said charmingly, "Daji obeys your command."

She knelt in front of Ying Yuan.

"Daji, I will always love my master... Um——"

... (5,000 words omitted below)...

at this time.

Shoukang Palace.

Empress Dowager Lu Zhi was listening to a young eunuch reporting on various matters concerning Emperor Ying Yuan.

Paused.

The former frowned slightly and murmured, "He actually summoned the Queen to sleep with him... This is a bit surprising to me.

Gao Lishi, you did a good job. Go and claim your reward. As for the Emperor, if there is any further movement, report it immediately."

The young eunuch was Gao Lishi.

A famous eunuch in the Tang Dynasty.

Now, he is one of the many eunuchs serving Ying Yuan.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness. I will take my leave..."

Gao Lishi left the hall with a happy look on his face.

Lü Zhi slowly closed her eyes and said calmly, "Lao Ai, inform all the civil and military officials about His Majesty's re-establishment of the Imperial Household Guard."

She is not the biological mother of the current emperor.

Ying Yuan's biological mother died of illness a long time ago.

Because Lu Zhi had no children and was not favored by the previous emperor, in the end, Ying Yuan became the emperor.

......

Xianyang City.

The Imperial Guards Camp.

Cao Cao, Pan Feng, Cao Hong and others gathered in the big tent.

It was already late at night, but they had not yet rested.

They have been discussing war.

"The Chu army began its advance in March and, in just two months, it had conquered almost half of the northern part of the Great Qin. Their rapid march clearly indicated their desire for a quick victory.

But they have been besieging Zhicheng for several days, yet there is no sign of an attack. What do you think is the reason?"

Cao Cao looked at everyone.

After a moment, no one answered his question.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to continue: "This commander speculates that the reason they want to end the battle quickly is because they can't afford to delay.

The important grain and grass centers of our Great Qin are all in the south, and the enemy cannot support the war by fighting.

However, the road from Da Chu to our Da Qin territory is rugged and the mountains are steep, which is not conducive to marching.

Furthermore, they suddenly decided to attack our Great Qin, so for a while, it might be difficult to supply food and grass."

He is now the commander of an army of 150,000, so he is qualified to call himself "this commander".

Hearing this, everyone immediately understood.

"Master Cao, are you saying that the enemy hasn't attacked Zhicheng yet because they've run out of food?"

Although Pan Feng didn't know much about military strategy, he did know a very basic principle.

That is 'before the troops move, the food and fodder must go first'.

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy is indeed out of food right now. Or rather, they have been short of food from the beginning, so they can only fight quickly and decisively.

In order to defeat the morale and public sentiment of the Great Qin in the shortest possible time, and force the Great Qin to seek peace, move south, or even surrender.

But they never imagined that Your Majesty might have known from the beginning that they had no food, so he made up his mind to let us fight the enemy to the death! "

As soon as these words were spoken.

All the officers and soldiers shouted "Your Majesty is wise".

If Ying Yuan knew what they were thinking at this moment, he would definitely be so angry that he would tremble all over.

You are wise, and your whole family is wise!

"Master Cao, please give the order. What should we do next?"

Pan Feng asked.

Cao Cao thought for a moment, then suddenly became extremely serious and said solemnly:

"Since the enemy is low on food, let's completely starve them! There's no time to lose, speed is of the essence. All commanders, listen to my orders!"

"I will be here!"

The soldiers responded by clasping their fists.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said with unparalleled dominance:

"Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, I will give you 30,000 elite soldiers. March now and advance into Xiagui and Tongxian. Wait for an opportunity to maneuver and cut off the enemy's food supply.

While I am engaged in direct combat with the enemy, I do not want to see a single grain of food enter the Chu army camp. Otherwise, I will be punished by military law and will show no mercy!

Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin bowed in unison and said, "I will lead the troops!"

Afterwards, the two of them walked out of the camp to select soldiers and generals.

"Where are Cao Hong and Xu Huang?"

"I will be here!"

"I will give you two 20,000 soldiers and horses. Prepare food at 1:00 pm and send out the troops at 1:00 am. Go a thousand miles to attack Chongquan and Luoyin, block the enemy's retreat, and wait for an opportunity to support Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin.

"These 20,000 men, I can only give you as infantry, but I will require you to capture Chongquan within ten days. Only by doing so can we cause the Chu army, without food or fodder, to fall into great morale!"

"I obey your orders!"

"Where are Cao Ren and Zhang Liao?!"
