Chapter 252 Daoist Yu Ji's Apprentice
Hearing this, Xun Yu suddenly remembered something, and said, "Huangfu Song has a son who has some friendship with me. He used to be a servant, but he declined because of illness. Last year I saw that Huangfu's servant looked very good, he didn't look like a sick person. Out of curiosity, I asked that Kong Rong had brought Hua Tuo, a genius doctor of the time, to treat him. And Hua Tuo is now an official under Zhang Wu, could it be that "Taiping Yaoshu"..."
Cao Cao quickly said: "If Wen suspects that the "Taiping Yaoshu" has fallen into Zhang Wu's hands? After Huangfu Zhonglang got this book, he also read it, but said that it contains nonsense and absurd words. It’s unbelievable! Is it possible to learn spells? Zhong De, send someone to Huangfu Shizhong’s mansion to ask whether the volume of "Taiping Essentials" has fallen into Zhang Wu’s hands."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
Cheng Yu arranged for someone to investigate this matter, because Huangfu Shizhong also lived in Xudu, and the results came out soon.
"Sure enough! I didn't expect Zhang Wu to do it long ago!" Cao Cao said depressingly. Zhang Wu had already obtained "Taiping Essentials" a few years ago, and this guy actually understood it and learned the above. spell.
Why?No, that Zhang Wu got the "Taiping Essentials" several years ago, he must have learned the spell of changing the wind direction, so he made this chained boat in the first place, could it be?
Think carefully!
Could it be that Zhang Wu has already started planning?He had expected that I would definitely use iron chains to conquer Jingzhou, and then set fire to my 20 army!
Now it is all clear, Cao Cao is also a smart person, and Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Sima Yi and others are also the top counselors in the world. After thinking about it, they guessed the truth of the matter. up.
As early as when Cao Cao's second army conquered Jingzhou, Zhang Wu began to deploy.He first made out iron chains to fight against the Jiangdong water army, which made Sun Quan suffer.However, Cao Jun did not have a water army. After hearing about the iron chain ship, he would definitely be unable to resist imitating it, but it turned out to be very useful, and he used the iron chain ship to break the blockade of the Jiangdong water army on the Huaihe River when rescuing Shouchun.
Then Cao Cao, who had tasted the sweetness of the iron chain ship, had the ambition to use the iron chain ship to defeat the Jingzhou navy, and then wipe out Jingzhou's ambitions, so he took advantage of the northerly wind in this winter to attack Jingzhou.
As a result, Zhang Wu changed the direction of the wind at a critical moment and burned Cao Cao's 20 troops to nothing.
Zhang Wu, you are so ruthless!
It's full of tricks!
Who would have thought that such unimaginable things would happen after the Yellow Turbans were wiped out!
After Cao Cao was severely cheated, his vitality was severely injured, and half of his elite soldiers were lost. With many princes in the world, he could no longer attack Jingzhou on a large scale.
Now Cao Cao is not able to fight against Jingzhou, but he dare not fight. Zhang Wu can change the direction of the wind at any time, and how many people he goes to is not enough for him to burn!
Is that all?
Of course Cao Cao is not reconciled, he is not a person who can suffer, his famous saying is "I would rather let the world down, than teach the world to blame me!" Cao Cao is very tolerant when he is in trouble, but once he is strong, he will definitely Resentment for grievances, revenge for revenge.
Although the current Cao Cao has lost so many soldiers and horses, he is still the strongest prince in the world, occupying the most developed Central Plains region, and still occupying the strategic initiative. He is the prince with the most hope of unifying the world today.
Therefore, not attacking Jingzhou for the time being does not mean that Cao Cao will stop his steps to dominate the world, he can attack other people first!
Cao Cao's advisers also thought so. Since they could not conquer Jingzhou for the time being, they might as well consider other plans.
Therefore, Xun You said: "Prime Minister, Jingzhou and Jiangdong occupy a favorable location, and there is a danger of a big river. Our army cannot confront them for the time being. It is better to take Hanzhong first, then occupy Yizhou, train the navy in the land of Bashu, and then go down the river to take Jingzhou and Jiangdong. Although this strategy will take a long time, it is safe and can give full play to the advantages of our army."
Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Sima Yi and the others also agreed with Xun You's words. Up to now, it is better to be more stable. If there is another big defeat or two, it will be over.
Cao Cao was able to get to this point, of course he was not a willful person, and the current situation did not allow him to take any more risks, so he made up his mind to adopt the strategy proposed by Xun You.Even if you can't see the unity of the world while you're alive, it's better than being wiped out while you're alive.
However, Cao Junxin suffered a big defeat and lost countless food and supplies. Even if he wanted to take Hanzhong, he had to rest for a period of time to accumulate some food and grass before inquiring about Hanzhong's information.
Although Hanzhong is a county, its territory is not small, and its terrain is very important. It connects Yizhou to the west, Jingzhou to the east, and Liangzhou and Yongzhou to the north.Therefore, once Cao Cao wants to attack Hanzhong, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Zhang Wu in Jingzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou will all respond, and they will definitely not watch Cao Cao take Hanzhong.
Therefore, if you want to take Hanzhong, Cao Cao must take all these uncertain factors into consideration.Otherwise, when he led the army to go out, what if Sun Quan sent troops to Hefei to map Huainan?What if Zhang Wu sent troops to Wancheng to attack Xudu?What if Ma Teng and Han Sui want to attack Chang'an?
So Cao Cao discussed a careful plan with his advisers and generals.
At the same time, Zhou Yu also sent people to find Yu Ji's younger brother Gong Chong. Gong Chong was worthy of being Yu Ji's direct disciple. He had successfully practiced the "Taiping Qingling Book" and experimented with the art of calling wind and rain in front of Sun Quan.
Gong Chong's spells require a long time to prepare, and they are not as smooth as Zhang Wu's.He needs to fast and bathe first, then arrange the altar, and then start the practice.
Although it was a bit troublesome, it succeeded in the end, which made Sun Quan overjoyed. When the time comes to fight Zhang Wu, he can prepare first, and let Gong Chong start after Zhang Wu turns the wind first.
At that time, not only will he be able to break Zhang Wu's method, but he will also allow himself to gain the upper hand, and then burn Zhang Wu's iron chain boat!As long as Zhang Wu's iron chain boat is burned, even if all the Jingzhou navy cannot be burned to death, they are no longer the opponents of the Jiangdong navy.
As long as the Jingzhou navy is wiped out, the entire Yangtze River will be the territory of Jiangdong. They can freely enter and leave the waters of Jingzhou, harass Xiangyang, attack Jiangling, or harass the four counties of Jingnan along the waterway.Although the Jiangdong Army's ability to attack the city was insufficient, Jingzhou was exhausted after a long time.
Sun Quan immediately rewarded Gong Chong heavily, allocated money to him to build a Taoist temple, and promised him that as long as he could successfully cast spells to defeat the Jingzhou army, he would be rewarded heavily again.
Gong Chong has been trying to get close to those in power for so many years, but when he presented the "Taiping Qing Lingshu" to Emperor Shun, he was impeached as a monster. There are too many activities, and I have basically devoted myself to studying scriptures for so many years.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the people in power in Jiangdong would pay more attention to it. Gong Chong also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to carry forward the way of peace with the help of Sun Quan's power.
