Chapter 406 Strength Analysis(1/2)
In Cao Cao's tent on the outskirts of Luoyang City.
Lao Cao called his subordinates Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Cao Ren and others into the tent.
Listen to Cao Ren's intelligence report.
"Zixiao, have you seen Qin Qi?"
Cao Cao said.
Lao Cao felt a little sorry for cheating the Xiakou army to drink wine every day, so he had to send Cao Ren to inform Qin Qi.
As for how to deal with it, that is Qin Qi's business.
"Mengde, that kid Qin Qi, after rescuing you, he continued to hunt down the Xiliang army and saved hundreds of thousands of people.
Hundreds of thousands of stones of grain were also seized, all of which were distributed free of charge by Qin Qi to the rescued people. The Xiakou army did not ask for a grain of grain.
In addition, Qin Qi heard that Liu Bao, Hu Chuquan, and two Xiongnu kings Zuoxianwang and Youxianwang led 20,000 cavalry into the Central Plains to plunder.
They robbed and robbed tens of thousands of people. In anger, Qin Qi led the Xiakou army to fight against the Xiongnu cavalry.
As a result, more than 20,000 Huns cavalry were annihilated in one fell swoop, and the heads of the Huns were used to build a Jingguan in Jiaxian County.
It was used to frighten the grassland people. The important thing is that the boy brought Hu Chuquan, the younger brother of Yu Fuluo, the Xiongnu Chanyu.
My nephews, Prince Liu Bao, were also beheaded, they were really audacious."
Cao Ren introduced.
surprise!
Shocking!
Lao Cao and his generals in the big tent were shocked by Cao Ren's words and were speechless for a long time.
Staring stupidly.
sluggish!
Stupid!
How is that possible!
Qin Qi only had 30,000 soldiers and horses at his disposal, so how could he annihilate 20,000 Xiongnu cavalry?
This is unscientific!
Lao Cao knew the situation of the Xiakou Army very well.
I go to Qin Qi's tent every day to trick him into drinking. Can I not be clear?
"Zixiao, you won't be deceived by Qin Qi!"
Cao Cao asked.
Cao Ren shook his head.
"Mengde, I saw the Jingguan with my own eyes. It was built with more than 20,000 Huns heads. How could it be fake?"
Cao Rendao.
"How many casualties did the Xiakou Army have?"
Cao Cao said.
"There are more than 4,000 people seriously injured. They are being treated by the military doctor. Qin Qi said that he wants the doctor to think of every possible way.
He saved the seriously injured soldiers. More than 3,000 soldiers died. When he went there, he saw soldiers from the Xiakou Army.
We are burning the remains of the fallen soldiers, saying that we want to take the ashes back and send them to the Martyrs Cemetery for burial so that future generations can worship them."
Cao Rendao.
Martyrs Cemetery!
Lao Cao is a little confused.
"Zixiao, what is the Martyrs Cemetery?"
Cao Cao said.
"I heard from the soldiers of the Xiakou Army that there is a place in Xiakou specially used to bury the bodies of fallen soldiers for future generations to pay homage to!"
Cao Rendao.
well!
"Qin Xingbang is a great talent! He can think of such a way to inspire soldiers, and he is worthy of being called a conspiracy."
Lao Cao was filled with emotion.
The generals in the big tent were even more yearning after hearing this.
If you have a martyrs cemetery at home, it will make your soldiers fight harder.
"After the decisive battle between the Xiakou Army and the Huns' cavalry, there are now only more than 20,000 troops left. What does Qin Qi think? Will she escape alone?"
Cao Cao said.
Lao Cao wished that Qin Qi could escape alone, so that the soldiers of the Xiakou Army could be brought under his control. They were well-trained and elite troops.
"Mengde, don't think about taking back the Xiakou Army soldiers. It's impossible. Qin Qi is unwilling to leave the soldiers alone.
Together with the soldiers, they faced the encirclement and suppression by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi, Han Fu, Liu Dai and others. What's more,
During the pursuit of the Xiliang Army, the Xiakou Army captured many soldiers, from whom more than 20,000 soldiers were selected to join the Xiakou Army.
The current strength of the Xiakou Army is not only a little over 20,000, but more than 50,000. Among them, a cavalry of 5,000 was temporarily formed.
I have been training these days and hope it will be effective in the final battle."
Cao Rendao.
Cao Cao understood.
Cao Ren was originally sent to inform Qin Qi that as long as Qin Qi was willing to escape with a few generals, the troops and horses under his command would be handed over to Cao Ren.
This is Lao Cao's calculation.
Who is Lao Cao!
A generational hero!
Without any benefit, how could he send Cao Ren to inform Qin Qi, with the purpose of capturing Qin Qi's elite division.
Of course, based on Qin Qi's understanding of Cao Cao, he could definitely analyze Cao Cao's purpose.
Would a hero care about Qin Qi's life or death?
Just kidding!
I wish Qin Qi would die?
Cao Cao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Fifty thousand Xiakou troops faced off against 200,000 Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi, Liu Dai, Han Fu and other coalition forces. It was a one-on-one battle!
In particular, in order to eliminate Qin Qi, Yuan Shao summoned two powerful men, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, to his side.
Enter the dragon and the tiger!
hehe!
Lao Cao laughed.
"Let's watch the show on the sidelines and see who annihilates whom. No matter what the battle situation is, it will be good for us."
Cao Cao said.
"Meng De, you and Qin Qi are good friends, why don't you send some people to help Qin Qi?"
Cao Rendao.
"No! I do have a good relationship with Qin Qi! But the power of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others cannot be underestimated.
We can’t offend the Yuan family! It’s better if we don’t help each other to avoid causing trouble to ourselves.”
Cao Cao said.
His generals despised Lao Cao very much.
…
In the Jizhou barracks, in a small tent, sat two very powerful counselors under Han Fu, Jushou and Tian Feng.
Both Jushou and Tian Feng are the most powerful beings of this era.
Especially Jushou, in terms of strategy, he is not much worse than Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang. He is basically a counselor of the same level.
Tian Feng is also a very good strategist, similar to Cheng Yu, one of Lao Cao's five great strategists, and Chen Gong, one of Lu Bu's strategists.
Unfortunately, both of them followed the wrong protagonist.
If these two people stay with Lao Cao, they will definitely become world-famous counselors and achieve great success.
