Chapter 845

After Liu Xiu's words, Huang Hu smiles and closes his mouth.

He is not interested in platoon arrangement. What he is good at is one strength reduction and ten meetings. After encountering the enemy, he waved two golden hammers and smashed them in disorder to completely solve all the troubles.

The arrangement on the battlefield is just not what he is good at.

Liu Xiu looked at the others and asked, "what do you think?"

After thinking about it, Zhang Yan said slowly, "Your Majesty, the general thinks that for the time being, we should keep unchanged to cope with changes."

"The key point is that Cao Cao initiated the war on his own initiative."

"Then, Cao Cao must have some action."

"Otherwise, why should Cao Cao rush to fight this battle?"

"Cao Cao, as one of the attackers, is not in a hurry now. What are we in a hurry?"

In the eyes of Zhang jaw, the essence is shining.

Once upon a time, he was the Ministry of Cao Cao.

After returning to Liu Xiu, he was always by his side and took part in several wars.

However, he also got a lot of rewards and was highly valued by Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "go on!"

Zhang Yan was encouraged and continued: "at present, there are elite soldiers guarding every checkpoint and every important road along the way in the state of Chu."

"Even if Cao Cao wants to make small moves, it's not easy."

"So, just wait."

Zhang Yan said firmly, "I will conclude that Cao Cao will show his horse's feet soon."

Liu Xiu nodded.

There is a certain truth in the analysis of Zhangyan.

Now it is impossible to judge Cao Cao's intention, and it is the most appropriate way to observe his change.

As long as Cao Cao has action, he will be exposed.

Ma Chao answered and said, "Your Majesty, there will be an idea." As Ma Yunlu's elder brother, Ma Chao has a special identity. He is not only his brother-in-law, but also Liu Xiu's minister.

Since then, Ma has been extremely low-key.

Don't make trouble for Ma Yunlu.

It doesn't make people think that Ma Chao is a troublemaker.

However, Ma Chao's heart, there has been an idea, he wants revenge.

Revenge for your brother, revenge for your father.

If he does not destroy Cao Cao, his resentment will not disappear.

Liu Xiu looked at Ma Chao with a smile on his face and asked, "what do Meng Qi think?"

Ma Chao replied: "please tell your majesty, now the two armies are facing each other and the situation is not clear. Just as general Zhang said, we should respond to changes with constancy. But in this case, nothing can be done. Your majesty, please give the last general a thousand talents, and the last general will sneak into Cao Cao's hinterland with his soldiers to add chaos to Cao Cao, and then look for opportunities to cut off Cao Cao's food supply. "

"No way!"

Liu Xiu didn't even think about it and refused.

It is extremely dangerous to go deep into Cao Cao's hinterland.

Once blocked by Cao Cao's army, Ma Chao will be surrounded.

Ma Chao is Ma Yunlu's elder brother. As a subordinate of Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu should also consider Ma Chao's safety. Ma Chao should not take risks easily.

Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, but Liu Xiu's most important enemy.

Cao Cao is cunning and knows how to use the army.

Liu Xiu didn't dare to be slack in fighting with Cao Cao.

Once Ma Chao goes deep behind the enemy lines, especially when he leads his troops, it will be very dangerous.

Liu Xiu's reaction was expected by Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was not anxious, and continued: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it. It's thoughtful. Please allow me."

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no way!"

He doesn't want Ma Chao to take risks.

Anyway, the confrontation between Chu and Wei was not urgent.

Ma Chao was determined, but still did not give up. He said once again, "Your Majesty, there are three reasons why the general asked to lead the troops to the war."

"First, the situation is unclear and the deadlock must be broken."

"If the confrontation is maintained, it is difficult to judge what thoughts Cao Cao has in mind."

"In battle, one step behind, one step behind."

"The war with Cao Cao, in particular, should not give Cao Cao an advantage."

"After the end general led 1000 soldiers to sneak into Chenliu County, he could not only inquire about Cao's army in the territory of Wei, but also act as bandits and mountain bandits to make trouble in Chenliu County, restrain Cao Cao's forces and distract him."

"Second, the last general was born in the northwest, accustomed to horse fighting and more used to attacking."

"In the northwest frontier, the way of fighting was mostly nomadic fighting."

"If the enemy is weak, they will fight in a swarm."

"If the enemy is strong, he will retreat."

"At the end of the day, he will sneak into Chenliu county with a thousand soldiers, and he will take such a strategy to make trouble for Cao Cao."

"Third, your majesty and Cao Cao confront each other. Cao Cao's army has to be on guard against your majesty and can't separate the heavy troops to attack the last general."

"We are absolutely safe as long as we are restrained by your majesty.""There will be no danger in this war."

Ma Chao clasped his hands and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the last general only needs a thousand talents. As long as there are a thousand talents, the end will certainly be able to open up the situation, resolve the current deadlock, and create an opportunity for your majesty to defeat Cao Cao. "

Liu Xiu was silent when he heard the speech.

From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want Ma Chao to play. It's not easy.

But from Ma Chao's words, he recognized Ma Chao's determination.

Ma Chao is determined. He really wants to lead the army.

Liu Xiusi thought about it and asked, "I'll ask you a question. If you can answer it, I'll allow you to fight."

Ma Chao said excitedly: "please ask your majesty a question."

Liu Xiu said: "you take a thousand soldiers to sneak into Chenliu county. There are not twenty or thirty people under your command, but a thousand people. A thousand soldiers eat and drink Lhasa every day and consume a lot of food. "

"Even if you have dry food, you have three or five days of dry food."

"After entering Chenliu County, how are you going to take food?"

"Without enough food, your soldiers can't hold on for ten days and a half months."

Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled and asked.

Before the troops and horses moved, food and grass came first.

Grain and grass are the most important strategic materials and the most important link.

If food and grass were not available, even without Cao Cao's attack, Ma Chao's army would collapse.

This is a very realistic problem.

After Ma Chao listened to it, he said humbly: "report back to your majesty, the last general has just said it."

"When Mo Jiang sneaks into Chenliu county with 1000 soldiers, he will disguise himself as bandits and mountain bandits. Since they are bandits, it is not difficult for them to rob some rich families. "

"Moreover, after the end will sneak into Chenliu County, will break into parts."

"Soldiers sneak into a county and control it in silence."

"As long as the city behind Cao Cao is controlled in secret, there will be a chance to cut off Cao Cao's military supplies and defeat him."

Ma Chao said: "I will think about it clearly. Please allow me."

After listening, Liu Xiu understood Ma Chao's thinking.

But it is extremely difficult to do so.

The slightest carelessness will lead to danger.

Liu Xiu knew he couldn't stop him. He asked in a deep voice again, "Ma Chao, have you really thought it over?"

Ma Chao Baoquan said: "the end will consider clearly, please your Majesty's permission."

"Well, I will allow you to lead the troops."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I'm asking you, are you sure it's a thousand people? There is a great difference between one thousand and three hundred or five hundred. It's not easy to ration a thousand people. "

Ma Chao smile, confident: "a thousand people on a thousand people, the end will not drop the chain."

"Good!"

When Liu Xiu responded, he would not say much.

Ma Chao decided, but also conducive to break the situation, Liu Xiu had to agree.

Even if Ma Chao is in danger, Liu Xiu can send troops to contain Cao Cao, and then ease Ma Chao's danger.

Ma Chao was excited to see Liu Xiu answer.

This time, he had a chance to fight.

Liu Xiu looked at the crowd and Xu Shu, and said, "Yuanzhi, what do you think?"

Xu Shu didn't speak until Liu Xiu asked, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, I also think Cao Cao has a conspiracy. In my opinion, there are two possibilities for Cao Cao to initiate war on his own initiative, but not to fight. First, we are still deploying troops to prepare for the next round of offensive. Second, wait for the news and the time to start. Perhaps Cao Cao's main battlefield is not in Chenliu county. "

When Liu Xiu heard the speech, a light flashed in his eyes.

Xu Shu's words made Liu Xiu's point.

What if Cao Cao's main battlefield had not been here?

Liu Xiu was a little short of breath and said in a deep voice: "Yuanzhi, Cao Cao took the initiative to fight, except for our battlefield. Where do you think Cao Cao would choose to attack again? "
