Betting on the Heaven

Long Xiang went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed, the excitement brought by the alcohol had not dissipated.

I couldn't sleep so I looked at the roof and reviewed everything that happened today.

In the morning's victory at Shi Shui, if Zhang Fei hadn't opened the door, Long Xiang would have been confident of winning, but Hefei would have to pay a higher price, and the war might be prolonged, and the role of an enemy of ten thousand people would be magnified at this moment.

In addition, it was the first time that he commanded thousands of men to fight in the field. Although Long Xiang took the lead, charged into the battle, and led the three battalions of soldiers to victory, he found that he could not lead too many troops.

Thousands or 10,000 people can still cope with it, but too many troops will greatly weaken the control ability. Once the war is at a disadvantage or headwind, it is likely to lead the unit into the abyss of failure due to lack of ability.

Commanders like Han Xin who can command large armies are rare in every era. Even in the current era of Long Xiang's shining generals, there are only a handful of people with this ability.

Long Xiang realized his shortcomings, so he thought about commanding as few troops as possible in the future. If he had to go to the battlefield, it would be better to command the center army and not go to the front army to charge.

Since we don't have the same suppressive power as Zhang Fei, there's no need to take risks to boost morale. It's better to upgrade our weapons and protective gear so that the soldiers can sweat more in normal times and bleed less now.

It is the professional quality of a project manager to be good at reviewing and introspecting frequently, and letting the people below perform their duties, so that both hands can be freed to take an overall view.

Long Xiang was glad that he woke up early and would not do anything beyond his ability in the future. He did not want to become the next Sun Shiwan. After thinking about it, he fell asleep happily.

At night, Long Xiang dreamed that the new city of Hefei had been built. Sun Quan suddenly joined forces with Cao Cao to attack from the north and south. Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Hefei.

When the city was about to be captured, Sun and Cao suddenly had a dispute over the ownership of the second bridge.

Sun Quan wanted to divide it between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but Cao Cao said he wanted them all

In the early morning, Long Xiang was sweating profusely and woke up from his night dream.

I sat on the bed panting, sweat beads on my forehead rolling down my face.

I haven’t had such a nervous dream in a long time. Although the content of the dream is a bit exaggerated, there is a small probability that it will happen.

Fortunately, it is the fifth year of Jian'an and Cao Cao has not unified the north yet, so Long Xiang still has time to make arrangements.

How could I sleep at such a young age? Long Xiang opened the quilt and jumped off, put on his clothes and went straight to the chief clerk's house.

Long Xiang has been very busy recently, so he cannot leave Sun Quan idle. He is now urging Lu Su to write a letter to stimulate Jiangdong to send troops to attack Li Shu as soon as possible.

If Sun Quan was too well prepared, Jiangdong's losses in the war would be small, which was not in line with Long Xiang's expectations.

In fact, without Long Xiang's reminder, Sun Quan had long wanted to use Li Shu to establish his authority.

After receiving Yuan Shu's inheritance, Sun Quan secretly made arrangements to attack Lujiang. In particular, Li Shu framed Yan Xiang's death and accelerated the preparations.

The envoy sent to Xudu did not return for a long time. Sun Quan was not sure what Cao Cao meant, and he had already prepared for the worst.

That is, if the death of Yan Xiang cannot be explained clearly and cannot be ignored, Sun Quan will shift the responsibility to the "murderer" Chen Duan and take his family to Xudu to await his death.

Sun Quan did not do this for a long time because he considered the feelings of Zhang Zhao, Qin Song and others. He did not want to chill the hearts of Huaisi officials. Lu Su's letter was like the rain after a long drought.

In early October, Sun Quan made a big move.

Zhang Zhao, the chief historian, guarded the rear of Wu Commandery. He sent the Central Guard Zhou Yu to quell the Shanyue rebellion in Danyang, and dispatched veteran general Cheng Pu to garrison Dantu to defend Chen Deng. The direct lineage of Sun family was the main force, and Yuan Shu's remnants were the supplementary ones. There were more than 40,000 soldiers in total.

The waterway leads directly to Wan County.

Sun Quan was young and could not serve the public, so he mainly led the three armies by the supervisor Zhonglang, and the Yangtze River ferry was blocked in advance to prevent Jiangdong grain and grass from transporting enemies to Lujiang.

Li Shi expanded crazy in the past six months. From the 3,000 defenders left by Sun Ce last year, he directly expanded to more than 30,000 people. He should provide grain and grass that he lost in Jiangdong. He had no confidence and Sun Quan for a long time.

The room leak was in the rain. Because Fu Yu was in Junye's ‘false news’, the allies Zhang Duo was beheaded, Lei Xu was captured, and Mei Cheng and other small forces such as Huainan were angry.

At this time, Li Shi, like a boxer who is strong, looks all muscles on the surface, and feels soft on the platform.

At the time of Chu Ge, Li Shu decisively sent someone to surrender to Xu Du for help, but at this time, Cao Cao was fighting in Guandu, and he had no time to ignore him and Sun Quan.

From July to September, within this hundred days, the situation of Guandu is fierce.

Hundreds of thousands of troops confronted each other, and there were many tricks every day, and small -scale battles have not stopped.

Cao Cao took the initiative to defeat several times, and then completely fell into passive defense.

Although it has repelled countless attacks in Hebei, the drought has also affected the Sichuan area. Cao Cao's grain in Tuntian District has greatly reduced production, and the front line of grain and grass is difficult to continue.

Yuan Shao had sufficient intelligence. He knew that Xichuan suffered a drought and knew that Cao Cao was seriously lacking in grain, so he did not attack at a price at a price.

Yuan Shao intends to spend in Cao Cao's grain in Guan Guan, and then drive directly into Xu Du.

Step by step the camp is the number of ways to deal with Gongsun Xun. Now it is also used to deal with Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's stubbornness is beyond Yuan Shao's expectation.

At the same time, Yuan Shao did not sit in the battalion.

Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei in July to sneak into Runan, and threatened Cao Cao with Liu Bai. Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to defeat it;

In August, he farewell to Han Meng to attack Xu Du, and he was defeated by the firefighting team Cao Ren in Jiluo Mountain.

Yuan Shao's small actions of various troops were resolved by Cao Cao's searches. During the period, he did not get the benefits.

Food is tight.

Although Hebei was full of money, Yuan Jun was deeply rooted in the enemy at this time, and the total strength was Cao Jun several times, and the grain road had a large loss.

Although both of them are lacking in food, the situation of the two is the same.

Yuan Shao has food and is unable to transport, but Cao Cao has no food to transport the front line. Cao Cao will be defeated for a long time.

By the beginning of October, Cao Caojun was bottomed out of grain, and it was scammed that he could break Yuan Shao in half a month and forcibly drawing big cakes to delay.

Do not hold on to the army's heart, the soldiers can't stick to it.

In half a month, Yuan Shao could not be broken, and Cao Jun would also break due to food.

After Cao Cao was exhausted, he could only choose to bet, and he could only seek luck from the sky.

Cao Cao's gambling came from Xu You.

The news of Yuan Shao's shortage of soldiers in gambling, and Yuan Jun came to Yuan Jun only the opportunity to have a food spot in Wuchao.

Yuan Shao was clear about Cao Cao's lack of grain, but Cao Cao knew how much Yuan Shao kept his grain.

If it wasn't for Xu You's upside down, Cao Cao would not even touch the situation, and would not get the chance to change his destiny.

In the first half of Cao Cao's life, he made countless mistakes, but he was secretly cared for by Shang Cang and blessed him for his luck.

In mid -October, Cao Cao stayed with Cao Hong, and he guarded Guan Dazhai.

At a critical moment, Cao Cao held his fate in his own hands.
