Chapter [169] Division? Join Forces?
How to attack Lu Bu, in terms of strategy, there are no more than two choices, either divide the troops or join forces.
Cao Cao pondered for a while, and said: "In my opinion, Guanzhong is the core foundation of Lu Bu, as long as we can successfully take Guanzhong, Lu Bu's other territories will also fall apart.
"So we only need to gather all the forces of the four families and attack Guanzhong with all our strength."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at the other three.
Liu Bei nodded in agreement, Sun Ce looked indifferent, and Yuan Shao was noncommittal.
Liu Bei felt that Cao Cao's words were reasonable, but Sun Ce didn't care, because Zhou Yu was watching over him, and Yuan Shao didn't agree with Cao Cao's ideas.
"What do you think of the three?" Cao Cao couldn't help asking.
"I think it's better to talk about how to divide the territory first." Yuan Shao said immediately: "Since Lu Bu is going to be wiped out, we want to discuss a distribution plan so as not to argue with each other afterwards.
Cao Cao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Brother Benchu is right."
"Bingzhou belongs to Brother Benchu, Guanzhong belongs to me, and Yizhou belongs to Sun and Liu. You can discuss how to distribute it yourself." Cao Cao immediately proposed a distribution plan.
"Meng De." Yuan Shao mocked: "You really know how to pick a place. You just said that Guanzhong is the core of Lu Bu. Now you want to take the core away?"
"Then I want Bingzhou, Brother Benchu takes Guanzhong." Cao Cao said with a light smile.
Now Yuan Shao stopped talking and did not continue to mock Cao Cao.
"My distribution plan is the most suitable plan for each of the 907." Cao Cao continued: "Brother Benchu is based in Hebei, and Bingzhou is the most suitable for you. Guanzhong, Shuzhong, and Hanzhong are all flying for Brother Benchu. land, would you like it?"
"Also, if Bingzhou belongs to me, brother Benchu will really accept it?"
"Yizhou is in the south, we can't get both, so it's better to give it to the Liu family."
"How to divide the territory should not only look at where it is good, but also whether it can be held in hand."
After what Cao Cao said, no one raised any objection, because what Cao Cao said was the truth.
Among Lu Bu's territory, Yuan Shao can only take Bingzhou, and he can't occupy other places given to him.
In the same way, Cao Cao can only take Guanzhong, and Sun Liu can take Yizhou in the south.
"Okay, it seems that you have no objections." Cao Cao returned to the topic, "Then let's discuss how to send troops.
"My opinion is to gather our forces, take Guanzhong with all our strength, conquer Chang'an, and rescue the emperor."
"I don't think so." Yuan Shao put forward a different opinion, "Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is better to divide the troops and attack each one."
Yuan Shao also had his own plans, if he attacked Hangu Pass and Tongguan, he would suffer great casualties.
Anyway, after Lu is immortal, Yuan Shao can only be assigned to Bingzhou, so it is better to go directly to Bingzhou, which is simple and can reduce casualties.
"I'm going to attack Bingzhou, Meng De you attack Guanzhong, Xuande attacks Hanzhong, and Sun Lang attacks Shuzhong." Yuan Shao talked eloquently, "The four-way army was dispatched, and Lu Bu couldn't care about the first and the last.
"Brother Benchu, your abacus..." Cao Cao shook his head helplessly, "The four of us must unite as one."
"Don't talk stupidly, Meng De." Yuan Shao looked at the crowd, "All of you here have participated in the eighteenth princes' begging for Dong. Do you think we can unite as one?"
"If we could unite, the princes of the Eighteen Routes would have been united back then. However, the reality is like this. Back then, the princes from all walks of life were fighting each other and couldn't unite. Now the four of us still can't unite."
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Cao Cao also fell silent, and what Yuan Shao said was right.
Even if the four of them intend to unite, there will still be friction among the people below, and it is impossible to achieve unity at all.
"Forcibly gathering together is also calculating each other. If we are scattered, we will not be able to exert our combat power." Yuan Shao continued: "Instead of this, it is better to divide the troops, which is also a good strategy."
Yuan Shao really wanted to promote the strategy of dividing troops, thinking that this would be in his best interest.
Cao Cao said to join forces, Yuan Shao said to divide the troops, the situation froze for a while.
"Let's discuss it separately," Zhou Yu suggested.
"Also."
The high platform of the League is the largest, and each of the four families occupies a corner, and then internal discussions begin.
Yuan Shao's side.
"My lord, we must divide our troops. This is undoubtedly the most beneficial for us. Ju Shou couldn't wait to say: "There is no pass in Bingzhou, and there are only 30,000 troops. We can easily (aeej) take it. "
"Guanzhong is the core of Lu Bu. Lu Bu will definitely stay in Guanzhong and will not come to Bingzhou in person. We don't have to worry about not getting along with Lu."
"I think so too. Anyway, we can only occupy Bingzhou, so we will only attack Bingzhou, and we will make as much effort as we can get." Yuan Shao said, looking at the other counselors, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
Sun Ce's side.
"Gong Jin, do we support splitting or joining forces?" Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu's opinion directly.
"Divide the troops, we must divide the troops." Zhou Yu said firmly.
"Why is this?" Sun Ce asked the reason, "I think the combination of troops is also quite good, won't all problems be solved by defeating Guanzhong in one wave?"
Zhou Yu shook his head upon hearing this, "Bo Fu, your thinking is too simple."
"Let me ask you, if you were Lu Bu, what would you do if you saw that Guanzhong could not be defended?" Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce.
"Of course he ran away." Sun Ce said without thinking.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Yu asked again.
"To...Yizhou!" Sun Ce reacted immediately, "Yizhou has the Qinling Mountains and Bashan Mountains as barriers, so it is most suitable for retreating.
"That's right." Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Once the Guanzhong is breached, Lu Bu will run to the middle of Sichuan. If it is extreme, he will directly burn down the plank road.
"At that time, Yuan Shao won Bingzhou, Cao Cao won Guanzhong, and Yizhou was still in Lu Bu's hands. In the end, we won't get anything from the bamboo basket."
"Our foundation is in the south, and we led troops all the way to the Central Plains to go to Guanzhong with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Not only may we not get Yizhou, but we can't afford the consumption of food and grass alone."
"Transporting grain from the south to the Central Plains, our supply line will be very long. Could it be that you still expect Yuan Cao to provide us with grain and grass?"
"Because of emotion and reason, we must adhere to the strategy of dividing our troops, no matter whether it is long-term or short-term considerations." Zhou Yu paused, "In this way, we can go directly westward from Jingzhou and use our navy to go upstream from the Yangtze River. That's our forte."
"I understand, then let's support Yuan Shao." Sun Ce nodded heavily.
Liu Bei's side.
"Brother, what shall we do?" Zhang Fei asked in a rough voice.
"It's all right." Liu Bei thought for a while, and felt that the division of troops was the same, and it didn't have any effect on him. "However, it is safer to divide our troops. We will join forces with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Once our troops suffer serious casualties, Yuan Shao is fine. Cao Cao If it borders us, I am afraid it will give birth to annexation."
"Let's see what Bofu's attitude is, we just support Bofu and them." Liu Bei said immediately.
The three of Guan, Zhang and Zhao are all warriors, Sun Qian, Jianyong is limited, and Liu Bei's side is like this, and no one has any different opinions. .
