The ninth and forty-fourth chapter on the general situation of the Chinese army

Wuling County, outside Linyuan City, Yanzhou Army Camp, and Cao Cao's Central Army Treasure.

Before the war started today, Cao Cao summoned everyone first. In fact, his meaning was very simple, that is, to mobilize everyone before the war, so that they should use confidence in themselves and be confident, believing that they can seize Linyuan, defeat Liu Bei's army, and defeat Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao. This is actually not much different from oaths. It is just that oaths are mobilizing the soldiers and improving the morale of the soldiers. At this time, Cao Cao wanted to mobilize his subordinates.

After everyone arrived, Cao Cao said to everyone, "Everyone, our army's war is not good now, and Lin Yuan is blocked. It is not just other reasons, but Huo Jun is the strong enemy of our army. I wonder if you think so?"

Everyone listened to what their lord said. Although their lord asked everyone what they said, the tone was affirmative, so of course everyone would not not understand what their lord meant, so they said in unison, "That's true! The lord is wise!"

Of course, Cao Cao did not say this for the sake of the audience, but he had his own purpose.

-----------------------------------------------------

Seeing everyone talking in unison, Cao Cao said after they finished speaking: "Everyone, I, Cao Mengde, fought in the south and north for nearly twenty years, defeated the Yellow Turbans, defeated Dong Zhuo, defeated Lu Bu, eliminated Yuan Shu, destroyed Yuan Shao, and dominated the world! You also followed me to fight, for most of them for more than ten years, at least for several years. And our Yanzhou army is even more famous all over the world and is invincible!"

No matter what, Cao Cao said, it was definitely not a boastful person. Almost all the generals of the Yanzhou army nodded constantly. Isn't that? What his lord did is only more than this, but it is definitely not less than this. Moreover, he has been following his lord for nearly twenty years for those who have been following his lord for the most years. The least, like Guan Yu, even if he doesn't worship his lord, it has been several years.

No one said anything, and they didn't stop nodding. And they all knew that their lord hadn't finished saying anything yet. So they were waiting for him to continue talking.

Sure enough, although Cao Cao stopped for the time being and didn't continue to say it, after seeing everyone, he continued to say it and finished what he didn't say.

-----------------------------------------------------

I heard Cao Cao say at this time. "Everyone, today there are only Gongsun Du from Liaodong, Ma Chao from Liangzhou, Sun Ce from Jiangdong, and Liu Bei who occupy some counties in Jingzhou!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded, right? Needless to say, Gongsun Du has not made any effort yet. If he does not destroy him, there is still no problem, but he can't take care of it now. After all, Gongsun Du has been in Liaodong for so many years. Even if his strength is not as good as his, he must not be underestimated. Therefore, he cannot easily go to Liaodong, and for the time being, he can only wait and see the changes. However, Gongsun Du does not have any enterprising intentions. It can be said that he is a dog guarding the household than Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, so for him, he is not a big disaster at all, and can only be said to be a small disaster of tinea scabies.

But those three are definitely a big problem, especially Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi. Don’t everyone know that, that is definitely a big problem of his lord, but his lord almost never says it. But although the lord almost never mentions it, can everyone still not understand?

-----------------------------------------------------

Just talk about our own sphere of influence, Youzhou, but it is not the case that has been abandoned by Youzhou after Liaodong. After all, that place has always been dominated by Gongsun Du, so now it is also true, neither being bound by our own side nor being under the jurisdiction of the court.

Among the three counties and states in Jizhou, most of them are Hejian, Bohai County and Wei County. Most of the counties and states are naturally Qinghe Country, and a small part of them are occupied by Ma Chao. As for other counties and counties in Jizhou, they are also occupied by Ma Mengqi.

The eastern and northeastern parts of Nanyang County, Jingzhou are mainly Wuyin, and the Jiyang line is on the line. They are both their own spheres of influence. Now they can also include Xiangyang in Nanjun and Fangling in Hanzhong County in Yizhou (Cao Cao and the others don’t know that Fangling has been lost), and they are all cities owned by their own spheres of influence.

Finally, there are the entire Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou and the last Xuzhou. These are all our territory, that is, the sphere of influence to which we belong.

So it's true, I don't want to know. If you think about your own sphere of influence carefully, it's definitely the best in the world, and it's much better than Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao at the time.

-----------------------------------------------------

However, Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army's sphere of influence is actually not much different from his own.

Ma Chao occupied the entire territory of Liangzhou, the entire territory of Sili, and the entire territory of Bingzhou, except Fangling in Hanzhong County. At least the comprehensive strength of these four states is absolutely not below the four states of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and may even surpass the four states of our side.

In the Nanyang County of Jingzhou, the Liangzhou Army occupies the northwest and westward places of Nanyang, especially the front lines of Wancheng and Rang County, which are all the sphere of influence of the Liangzhou Army. And now we have to add the entire Jiangxia County. After all, Jiangxia has long fallen into the hands of the Liangzhou Army. From this point of view, the Liangzhou Army is no worse than our own variance. At least in Nanyang, we can fight against our own side, while our side only occupies one Fangling, but we cannot compare with the other Jiangxia County.

As for Jizhou later, they occupied five counties, namely Zhongshan, Changshan, Anping, Zhao, Julu County, and a small part of Qinghe Country. It can be said that the Liangzhou army's power in Jizhou was definitely better than our side. In comparison, our side was at a disadvantage. We cannot compare with others.

The only thing that can be said to be stronger than the Liangzhou army is that there is one more Youzhou that has eliminated Liaodong. Therefore, if we say that the power is stronger than the Liangzhou army, it can be said that it is stronger here.

-----------------------------------------------------

So in terms of power, he is second only to his own side in the world. In terms of strength, he will never be inferior to his own side, although he and others do not want to admit this. But the fact is that, no matter whether you admit it or not, it cannot change the fact that it is true.

However, there is one thing that everyone in the world knows, that is, the sphere of influence of our side and the Liangzhou Army are combined, so two-thirds of the world need a little more, so basically, the one and the Liangzhou Army. Whoever can win the final victory in the end will be able to win the world and achieve unparalleled achievements.

Of course, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who occupied several counties in Jingzhou, and Sun Ce and Sun Bofu of Jiangdong, were all enemies of his lords. However, they were not as difficult as Ma Mengqi Liangzhou Army and so difficult to deal with. But there were only a few princes left in the world. As long as his lords could pacify them one by one, his lords could unify the world and achieve great merits.

However, it can be said that everyone is thinking well. It’s a pity that now that they have met Liu Bei’s army, Linyuan, who is blocked in Wuling, can’t even take over Linyuan City, then why are you talking about winning the world?

-----------------------------------------------------

If you talk about Liu Bei's power, then it is not as great as Sun Ce. After all, Sun Ce occupied the land of Jiangdong and the entire territory of Jiaozhou. Now it has two counties, Changsha and Guiyang in Jingzhou. Liu Bei only occupied Jiangling in Jingzhou's southern county, Wuling and Lingling in Wuling, and finally the southern part of Nanyang County. The Fancheng line, because Xinye was long lost, only Fancheng was left.

So let’s talk about the division of world forces today. Of course, my lord is the biggest force. Then, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi are not much worse than my lord. Then there is Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, and then there is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, and finally Gongsun Du and Gongsun Shengji, who is the last one.

But if we divide it by strength, at least Ma Mengqi Liangzhou Army and his Yanzhou Army can be said to be at the same level. Sun Bofu's Jiangdong Army is naturally a little worse, and Liu Xuande and Gongsun Shengji should be at the end. However, now that Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande have formed an alliance and formed the Sun-Liu coalition, their power cannot be underestimated, and they may not be able to compete with their own Ma Mengqi Liangzhou Army.

-----------------------------------------------------

So after hearing what their lord said, everyone stopped nodding. Isn’t that the only one? Today, Ma Chao and the princes of all directions were left undestroyed, and they could be said to be their own enemies, and they were also their enemies.

At this time, I heard Yu Jin say, "Lord, this is true! Whether it is Ma Mengqi, Jiangdong Sun Bofu, Jingzhou Liu Xuande or Liaodong Gongsun Shengji, they are all enemies of our army!"

Cao Cao nodded after hearing this, "That's right! But now in Linyuan City, Wuling, we met our army's strong enemy Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao, which has blocked our army! I, Cao Mengde, also admitted that Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao are our army's strong enemy, a great enemy, but Liu Bei County makes our army so difficult to attack. So what if we face the more powerful Liangzhou army? It can be seen that our army's enemy is not only Liu Bei's army!"

Yes, the current Sun-Liu coalition, Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army, and Gongsun Shengji's Liaodong army, aren't they all our enemies? But now they have struggled to fight against Liu Bei's army, so how about fighting against others.

-----------------------------------------------------

Yes, no one said that Huo Jun is not powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he only has one person. And on his own, there are many soldiers and a wide range of generals, at least tens of thousands of troops, and there are more than a dozen generals. Can't he deal with Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao?

Everyone understood what their lord meant at this time. Huo Jun was so powerful. But it did not mean that his side was not his opponent. Now his side failed to attack the city, but this is normal. Le Jin was injured. It doesn't matter, the injury is not serious, just recover slowly. Yu Jin was frustrated in the attack. It doesn't matter. If you fight again today, Huo Jun must take a good look. I am so scared that he will come?

Seeing everyone replying to a lot of confidence, Cao Cao felt relieved. He could fail, but he could not lack confidence, and he could not lack confidence. In Cao Cao's opinion, it would be normal for him to encounter an opponent like Huo Jun and he would be blocked. But it doesn't matter if his own attack was not good, even if it was a few more days, it would be fine. However, you cannot lack confidence in fighting with others. At least you still have to have some.

-----------------------------------------------------

At this time, Cao Cao felt that he had to work harder to regain confidence and at least he had to recover more. He said that his soldiers were frustrated before, but he had to regain confidence. Then he would fight Huo Jun again, which would be much better than saying nothing.

So at this time, Cao Cao said again, "Everyone, I remember that the Yellow Turbans were known as one million people back then, but they were still broken by us!"

Someone nodded, they were all veterans. After all, the Yellow Turbans are nearly twenty years away, so the person who had followed Cao Cao at that time was not the veterans of the Yanzhou Army.

The Yellow Turban Army is not known for it. In fact, if you really calculate it carefully, there are really millions, but they are just mobs. Of course, there are also elite soldiers. Unfortunately, the Yellow Turban Army is still inferior to others after all, and it still cannot withstand the joint encirclement of the imperial court and local governments, and it has finally become history.

As a hero of Cao Cao's suppression of the Yellow Turbans, he has never been idle since he started to finish. At that time, so many battles have come. Now, can a little Linyuan still stop Cao Mengde's footsteps?

-----------------------------------------------------

Seeing everyone's confidence in rising, Cao Cao said again, "Dong Zhongying has hundreds of thousands of troops. I issued a forgery and called on all heroes in the world to fight against the thieves! In the end, Dong Zhongying abandoned the Eastern Capital and moved the capital to Chang'an. Although five people went to pursue his army, I, Cao Mengde, "dare to be the first in the world" and led his troops to pursue him alone!"

Everyone knows this. Although his lord was defeated in the end, he was saved. The biggest gain was actually to win a good reputation. After all, even Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the leader of the Alliance of Princes, did not pursue Dong Zhuo, but his lord went there. Although he failed, this was "not judging heroes by success or failure", so his lord was definitely a good example at that time.

After that, Cao Cao was silent for a while, then he said, "Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, known as the 'Tiger', was brave and unparalleled in the world, and the first person in the world. He occupied our prefectures and counties, and I led my troops back to Yanzhou. After that, Lu Fengxian was defeated and left Xuzhou. Later, he established himself in Xuzhou, and I led my troops to Xuzhou, destroyed the camp, forced Lu Fengxian to leave, and seize the entire territory of Xuzhou!"

-----------------------------------------------------

Cao Cao said this, not because he wanted to tell everyone how powerful his lord was. He just wanted to use the facts of the past to tell them that such a powerful enemy was destroyed by him. Now Huo Jun cannot be compared with them at all, so can he still be difficult for him?

"Yuan Gonglu holds the jade seal and proclaims himself emperor. The pseudo-emperor is rampant. In the end, I, Cao Mengde, sent Liu Xuande to intercept him and cut off his way north to Yuan Benchu, Hebei. He was defeated and committed suicide and died in Xuzhou!"

Everyone still nodded at this time. They all knew about this, but now they rarely remembered it. After all, "the heroes don't mention the courage of the past", and they basically never think about it. But now they let their lord say it out. When everyone listened to what their lord said, they understood what their lord meant.

"The northern overlord Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​were dominating the four prefectures. In the end, it was not me, Cao Mengde, who joined forces with Ma Meng to build the Liangzhou army to defeat Yuan Shao and pacify the land of Hebei!

-----------------------------------------------------

After looking at everyone again, Cao Cao stood up directly. When everyone saw that his lord had stood up now, no one in his subordinates dared to sit, so they all stood up.

At this time, I heard Cao Cao say, "Everyone, I will tell you all about this today, to tell you that the enemies who were once several times or even dozens of times stronger than Huo Jun have been defeated by our army! And now, Liu Bei's army, Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao, what can he do? Can he be stronger than the millions of Yellow Turbans, the 'Tiger' Lu Fengxian, the pseudo-emperor Yuan Gonglu, and the northern overlord Yuan Benchu?"

Everyone thought at this time, is this possible? No matter how powerful Huo Jun is, he is not the strong princes in the world. There is also the Yellow Turban Army, which is not something he can compare with alone.
