It is precisely because of this kind of nepotism that the Qin Dynasty’s court is now filled with treacherous ministers.
After all, everyone is greedy. If you are not greedy, you cannot fit into that circle.
Once an official position becomes vacant, who will recommend you?
However, this current situation seemed to have changed slightly as Ying Yuan traveled through this world.
It is precisely for this reason that Cao Cao, who has been dealing with the enemy, no longer feels gloomy about the future.
I am more determined in my heart to be a capable minister who can govern the country.
Xun Yu glanced at Guo Jia, who was drunk, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Among them, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were the biggest drinkers.
Among the two, Guo Jia can drink the best.
In terms of strategy, the two are almost evenly matched, each with their own strengths.
In terms of military capabilities, Xun Yu and others are still slightly inferior to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.
After a pause, Xun Yu bowed to Cao Gong and said, "Lord Cao, when it comes to strategies to defeat the enemy, Feng Xiaohe and I are far behind in talent and ambition. It would be better if we could ask them to share their ideas first."
Hearing the sound, the latter looked at Guo Jia and found that the other party had drunk unconscious.
Finally, he looked at Xi Zhicai, who was coughing from time to time, and asked patiently, "Please teach me, Zhicai."
Upon hearing this, Xi Zhicai quickly clasped his fists and said, "Lord Cao, I don't deserve it. When we first arrived here, you informed us of your military deployment.
After my analysis, the only way to defeat the enemy is to take a risky tactic."
"Why take such a risky move?" Cao Cao was a little excited.
These days, he has been thinking about sending out a surprise attack, which might break the current deadlock.
After a pause, Xi Zhicai clasped his fists and said, "General Pan Feng is unrivaled in his courage. The main force of the enemy is currently lingering near Liyang.
You can send General Pan Feng with 50,000 cavalry to attack Liyang directly. At the same time, Cao Gong should lead the remaining troops to Zheng County.
Make the enemy mistakenly believe that our army wants to cut off the enemy's retreat and join forces with Generals Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang.
By then, the main force of the enemy will have to leave Liyang and rush to Chongquan to block their food supply route."
As soon as the words fell.
Guo Jia, who was already drunk, suddenly sobered up and said bluntly: "The troops led by General Pan Feng only need to besiege Liyang when the enemy troops march to Chongquan.
However, the final battlefield of this war will definitely be in Weinan, because Cao Gong personally led his army to attack Zheng County, and the enemy will definitely not miss this opportunity. If I were the commander of the enemy army, I would definitely lead a large army to defeat Cao Gong, and it would be best to capture him alive.
"South of the Wei River, it's easy to attack but difficult to defend. Our army can't hold it by stubbornly defending it. It would be better to gather our troops, concentrate our forces, and only guard the key roads. If we can delay the main enemy force, after General Pan Feng and General Xiahou complete their attack, our army can attack the main enemy force from both sides."
Hearing this exciting part, Xun Yu slapped his thigh and blurted out: "In this way, the enemy will surely be defeated."
Unexpectedly, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai shook their heads at the same time, with the former saying, "The battlefield is ever-changing, and it is useless to talk about war on paper.
In order to draw the enemy's main force to Chongquan and Weinan, one more thing needs to be done."
"What's up?"
Xun Yu asked curiously.
Guo Jia said bluntly, "It all depends on whether Cao Gong is willing to take the risk.
Lord Cao, if we don't seize this opportunity, once the enemy has enough food and fodder, our army will be powerless to turn the tide."
Xi Zhicai echoed, "For the Weinan battle, we need to bring up all the baggage that the court has sent in recent days.
Especially food and fodder, they must be sufficient to lure the enemy and attack our food and fodder.
This way, the enemy can truly let go and fight a decisive battle with us in Weinan."
