Chapter 71

Pang Degong chuckled and said: "if tiger and leopard enter Jingzhou, the outcome is unknown!"

Cao Cao, with a joking look on his face, said: "there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River in Jiangdong. It is difficult to enter Jiangdong. But it's easy for tiger and leopard to ride into Jingzhou. The combat effectiveness of the two armies is very different. How can Pang Gong come to the conclusion that the outcome is unknown? "

"I'm not in officialdom. I don't know much about it. Personal conjecture should be that the outcome is unknown. "

"Ha ha That's right. After all, I don't know. "

Cao Cao chuckled, his eyes turned and fell on Liu Xiu.

Looking at Liu Xiu's eyes, Cao Cao was full of expectation and asked, "Mr. Liu is the son of Liu Jingzhou. He must know the situation of Jingzhou like the back of his hand. Mr. Liu said, "what's the result of tiger and leopard riding into Jingzhou?"

Liu xiulang said: "there is no doubt that you will lose!"

Cao Cao's face immediately changed, and his eyes toward Liu Xiu showed a trace of curiosity and contempt.

Tiger and leopard riding is the world's elite, strong combat effectiveness.

Liu Xiu's direct conclusion that he would be defeated was somewhat arbitrary.

"It seems that Liu Xiu has been overestimated."

In Cao Cao's heart, such an idea came into being.

Xun you, Xun Yu and Guo Jia all shook their heads. However, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan and other generals were already glaring. Tiger and leopard riding elite, for all to see.

Liu Xiu said that the tiger and the leopard will be defeated when riding. He was just lying with his eyes open.

Xia Houyuan stared at Liu Xiu and said slowly, "Mr. Liu is the son of Liu Jingzhou. It is reasonable to say that Jingzhou will win. After all, Mr. Liu can't say that Jingzhou is unstoppable. "

XiahouDun immediately echoed: "yes, Mr. Liu has a problem."

With that, XiahouDun burst out laughing.

Mao said: "Mr. Liu's literary talent is flying, and we can't catch up with him. But in terms of military strategy, ha ha, Mr. Liu's words are not only boastful, but also arrogant. "

Cao Hong also said: "the most important thing for a person is to know himself. Mr. Liu's literary talent is good. Being a man is a little poor."

Cao Cao's civil and military officials spoke one after another.

One by one, his mouth was vicious and merciless. Even though some people were ostensibly excusing Liu Xiu, they were actually ironic in secret.

Wenpin sat next to Liu Xiushen with a frown and a worried look in his eyes.

As a general of Jingzhou, he knows the situation of Jingzhou best. After watching the martial arts performance of tiger and leopard riding, he also thinks that tiger and leopard riding is invincible on the battlefield, and Jingzhou can't find a comparable army.

In particular, Jingzhou Taiping for many years, loose military discipline, the combat effectiveness of soldiers is not strong.

Only the place bordering Jiangdong has a stronger fighting capacity. However, compared with Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding, there is too much difference. Under such circumstances, Wen pin did not know how Liu Xiu would explain it. In a word, it was very difficult.

Liu Xiu was calm at the moment.

In the face of the censure of Cao Cao's officials, his mood did not waver at all.

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said slowly, "gentlemen, I just said the truth. It is true that the so-called advice is harsh. To tell the truth, it's not recognized. "

Cao Cao cheered: "silence!"

In an instant, the civil and military officials on the high platform were quiet.

Everyone's eyes are fixed on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu thinks he is telling the truth. How can Jingzhou resist the tiger and leopard riding

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Sikong is proficient in the art of war. I admire him very much. However, Sikong thought that tiger and leopard riding was invincible, which broke the image of Sikong in my mind

Cao Cao clenched his hand and pulled off two of his whiskers.

Liu Xiu continued: "tiger and leopard riding, no matter how powerful, is cavalry."

"The battle field of cavalry lies in the broad and flat terrain."

"On the grassland, the reason why people on horseback, such as Wuhuan, Xiongnu and Xianbei, are invincible is that the grassland is vast and the horses can cross freely."

"In the north, the terrain is flat and open, and the role of war horses is still the same. They can exert their greatest strength."

"In Jingzhou, the terrain is changeable, the landscape is vertical and horizontal, and the rivers are all over."

"Can the tiger and leopard riding on the plain cross Jingzhou?"

Liu Xiu looked around and said, "besides, there is much rain in the south of the Yangtze River. At the last moment, the sun was still shining. I'm not sure. It's going to rain cats and dogs. When a rain comes down, the ground is muddy and hard to walk. When tigers and leopards rush in, I'm afraid that no less than two thirds of the horses will fall on the ground. "

"When the formation is in disorder, the horses are in disorder, and there is no command, how can we kill the enemy?"

"Not only can we not kill the enemy, we will also kill each other."

Liu Xiu said confidently: "in my opinion, when tiger and leopard ride into Jingzhou, they only need to send one thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people. They don't have to go to war. They just wait for you to fight and then collect the victory."It's worth nothing to ride a tiger.

Of course, Liu Xiu's words are exaggerated, but they are also based on facts.

After hearing this, Cao Cao turned black.

Cao Cao is a master of the art of war. He is proficient in marching and arraying. After listening to Liu Xiu's words, he understood that Liu Xiu's words had some truth. It is true that Liu Xiu exaggerated the factors of terrain and weather, but it is also true.

Cheng Yu stood up, arched his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, as you say, Jingzhou does not need military defense. As long as there are such key factors as geographical location and weather, the imperial army will not be able to go south and enter Jingzhou?"

This was aimed at Liu Xiu's exaggeration of the terrain and weather.

After hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu again. He wanted to see how Liu Xiu would deal with it?

Liu Xiu also stood up, neither humble nor haughty, and said: "the war is out of the ordinary, the water is changeable, and the use of troops to fight is not to say that it is invincible to occupy a favorable geographical location and weather, but to use the geographical location and weather reasonably to achieve the invincible effect."

"Tigers and leopards can't be ridden all the time. In case of heavy rain, even ordinary infantry can't match."

"Sikong was in charge of the northern states, with excellent troops and sufficient food, although there were countless soldiers and armor. But as long as you deal with it properly, it's not that you can't beat it. Just as in the battle of Guandu, there was a great disparity between Sikong and Yuan Shao. In the end, Sikong won. "

"So the strength of the troops is not the fundamental reason for the victory."

"On the battlefield, nothing is impossible, everything is possible."

Liu Xiuse said: "whether it's tiger and leopard riding, or the rest of the army, they can come to block the water and cover the land." Cheng Yu is surprised by her arrogant attitude and strong self-confidence.

In Cheng Yu's eyes, there was a flash of murder, and he said coldly, "Mr. Liu has a brilliant idea, which Yu admires."

Instead of arguing with Liu Xiu, Cheng Yu went back to the table.

The rest of the people looked at Liu Xiu, but there was a little hesitation in their eyes, and they didn't go up to question again.

Liu Xiuyan is so sharp that even Cheng Yu is willing to bow down.

In Cao Cao's heart, he appreciated Liu Xiu. He is very good at the art of war. Cao Cao changed the topic and said, "Mr. Liu is proficient in the art of war. I don't know what kind of military books Mr. Liu reads on weekdays."

Liu Xiu replied: "the art of war of Sun Tzu, the art of war of Wu Tzu, the art of Sima, and the art of Wei Liao Tzu are all involved as long as they are military books."

Cao Cao was surprised.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu's range is so wide, no wonder his words are so sharp.

Cao Cao kept his mind in the examination and asked: "when people are always strong and poor, especially when reading a book, they should understand the meaning of it. If you look at it at will, I'm afraid you can't understand it well, and you can only stay on paper. "

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm reading. I just look at the essentials and understand the main idea. Just as Sikong governs the country, he dominates the imperial program and grasps the general direction. He does not ask the whereabouts of money and things, nor does he investigate the appointment and removal of a petty official. "

"I think it's the same with reading."

"It's enough to grasp the essentials and understand the essence."

Liu xiudao: "I have to study the meaning of a word and the origin of a paragraph. That's what scholars do, not what generals and commanders should do."

In Cao Cao's eyes, the essence is shining.

Liu Xiu's words moved Cao Cao and made it difficult for Cao Cao to refute.

At this time, Cao Cao wanted Liu Xiu to work for himself.

Seeing this, Xun Yu said: "Mr. Liu is not only brilliant in writing, but also has a great strategy. My Lord wants to test Mr. Liu. Now it seems that Mr. Liu is really talented. "

A word, to Cao Cao steps down.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "if Wen is right, Mr. Liu is really talented."

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Sikong has praised me!"

Xia Houdun stood up and said: "Lord, after the tiger and leopard riding, there will be some young generals in the army. Why don't you go on and on

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu, waved his hand and said, "yes

XiahouDun had to make arrangements.
