Chapter 1018: Cao Cao Attacks First

It took about ten days for the cabinet to formulate a detailed battle plan.

In the Jiangdong area, in Hefei City and the Poyang Lake area, it is good to maintain a certain pressure and not launch an attack.

In the direction of Xuzhou, Gao Shun led 100,000 troops to attack the direction of Xuchang to contain the enemy.

At the same time, they launched attacks in Luguo County, Taishan County and other places, threatening Cao Cao's hinterland in two directions.

In the direction of Jizhou, the western front, central Jizhou, and eastern Jizhou attacked at the same time.

The armies of the six routes pressed on Cao Cao at the same time.

Zhao Yun had an independent army and led light cavalry to maneuver around, attacking wherever there was an opportunity.

To make a plan, Zhang Yu and the others will go ahead with intelligence.

Release a lot of news.

"Let's get the news out, we need to go all-out, raise a million troops, attack all of Cao Cao's territories, and let them mess up for a while before we talk about it," Zhang Yu said.

When the news was released, I don't know how many people started to worry.

After all, Zhang Yu has grown stronger, and there are previous examples.

For a time, many aristocratic families began to think carefully.

Do you want to continue to follow Cao Cao, or make two-handed preparations?

These aristocratic families must have made two-handed preparations. They didn't see that Yuan Shao was powerful last time, so many people directly contacted Yuan Shao secretly.

In the end, Cao Cao burned all the letters seized from Yuan Shaona, which relieved everyone's hearts.

This is the case again today, but differently.

It is useless for these aristocratic families to write letters to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu does not read these.

If they did something, Zhang Yu would still appreciate it, and it was not enough to write a letter to express their position.

In this way, everyone is even more uncomfortable.

What should I do?

For a while, people were panicked.

Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to attack, but used this method to make Cao Cao internally chaotic.

There are really many aristocratic families facing a dilemma.

"How to do how to do?"

"Once Cao Cao can't hold on, our family will be ruined."

"It's better to take refuge in Zhang Yu. Although I don't have a lot of land and no followers, I can control a lot of wealth."

"Hey, although Zhang Yu is good, he can only be a businessman, and he has to take an exam to become an official."

"It's useful to be a businessman, but it's useful to be in power."

Aristocratic families are generally divided into two factions, one faction is power supremacy, and on Zhang Yu's side, everything is fine, but they cannot hold power, influence one party, or control one party.

In a traditional aristocratic family, there are many children of the family who are officials.

Therefore, these aristocratic families have great influence, rich and powerful, and the families have raised many followers.

But when Zhang Yu came here, don't even think about it.

Another kind of aristocratic family wants to continue to maintain the continuation of the family and at the same time seek a certain status.

In Zhang Yu, businessmen have a high status, which they can still accept.

In this way, the aristocratic family was also divided into two factions, one faction firmly opposed Zhang Yu, but some of them firmly supported Cao Cao, and some wanted to go to other places.

The other faction, most of them are betting on both sides, they use various methods to send the family children there, and bring a part of their wealth there.

At that time, no matter who wins or loses, they will still be able to maintain the family's reproduction.

Not long after Zhang Yu released the news, his three academies immediately became popular again.

Most of these Patriarch's children came here in the name of studying. Since they came, of course many of them really wanted to learn something.

Unable to enter a formal school, they find someone outside the academy to teach them.

Zhang Yu's operation caused Cao Cao a lot of trouble.

"hateful.

"

Cao Cao was very annoyed, and these news came in a large amount.

They received many aristocratic families who fled, and part of them went to other places.

In this way, a lot of wealth must be taken away.

This weakened his strength somewhat.

But Cao Cao couldn't think of a way.

"My lord, we must limit it as soon as possible, and we can't let the situation continue to develop, otherwise our own morale will collapse." Xun You said.

Cao Cao was helpless for a while, indeed, if he didn't stop it, he would collapse first, which was very scary.

But what are they going to do about it?

how?

This is the big problem they face.

The problem is serious.

After deliberation, the Cao Cao Group said: "My lord, we can only attack Zhang Yu first, and then we can use the name of war to strictly investigate people who travel, and we can intercept a large number of families who are about to leave."

War, that is, direct military control.

After the military control, there will be a good excuse.

"Okay, but where should we attack?" Cao Cao thought the plan was good, so why not attack first.

Everyone discussed again.

After discussing for a while, they made a decision.

This was a fake fight, not a real fight, but at the same time it was to test Zhang Yu's real attack direction, or to disrupt Zhang Yu's plan.

"My lord, this city of Hefei is a support point for Zhang Yu. Let's attack there. In addition, we will find a way to drag Sun Ce into the water. Then we will have an advantage."

After deliberation, Cao Cao decided to send hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Hefei City.

But there is a problem here, whether to use Sun Ce's Shouchun City, or to detour.

This is a very serious problem. It is not difficult to find a way, and most of them do not enter the city.

But if so, their logistics are under someone else's control.

By way of excuse, even if Sun Ce does not send troops, Zhang Yu will still regard them as a joint effort.

Cao Cao quickly decided to send hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Hefei City, which is not to say that he did not take it seriously.

A few days later, Cao Cao sent troops.

Immediately after the troops were dispatched, people coming and going at the border were strictly controlled, especially those who brought a large amount of family property were blocked back.

If they want to go out, they can prove normal business contacts, and even Cao Cao directly arranges people to "purchase" for them.

This trick worked very well, and immediately blocked a large number of families who were about to flee.

But with such a large territory and so many people, there are always many loopholes, and some well-connected families can still get out.

Zhang Yu, having received the news, also held a cabinet meeting.

"The hundreds of thousands of troops will not have any impact on Hefei City. It's just whether Sun Ce will get involved." Zhang Yu said.

After some analysis by several people, Zhang Zhao said: "My lord, there is nothing wrong with our Yangtze River defense line. Even if we lose some places, we can hold back their army. Besides, they dare not invest too much force in attacking Hefei City."

Zhang Yu's reliance is the natural danger of the Yangtze River, which can guarantee the safety of the entire Jiangdong.

In this way, the more soldiers Cao Cao invested, the easier it would be for other places.

In this way, Zhang Yu ignored Cao Cao's actions and still arranged his own.

"Okay, after five days, attack Yuzhou and the west of Jizhou, open two fronts first, and look for other opportunities. Once there is an opportunity, kill them."

Zhang Yu didn't all attack together, and some places were blocked, waiting for Cao Cao to show his flaws.

Both sides fight their own way, it depends on whose strategy is clever.
