Chapter 439
Yecheng, King Wei's mansion.
The weather warmed up, and Cao Cao's health seemed to be better, of course, he also slowly handed over some affairs to Cao Pi to make himself relaxed.
In the study, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and the other three knelt and sat down.
"I heard that Liu Wei went to Beidi County?" Cao Cao asked.
"Yes, the lord, Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian king, gathered 100,000 iron horses to threaten Beidi County, Wang Ping only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, obviously he couldn't stop it, and Liu Jun had to go personally." Chen Qun replied.
"How many soldiers and horses did Liu Jun bring?" Cao Cao asked again, "Can you stop Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian king?" "
Back to Lord Lord, Liu Jun led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the King of Beidi County Plain had 50,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 60,000!" Regarding the military aspect, in the past, Guo Jia, Xun Fu and others said first, but now Jia Xu said first, "The subordinates think that they can block it!" "
Can you block it?" After listening to Jia Xu's words, Cheng Yu felt a little surprised, "I'm afraid what Wen He said is a little too simple, right? "
The Xiongnu's 100,000 iron horses, their combat power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary barbarians, and the great war between our Great Han and the Xiongnu, even during the period of Emperor Wu, did not occupy an absolute superiority. In the case of equal strength, they may not be able to stop it, Liu Jun only has 60,000 soldiers and horses, and his subordinates think that they will be defeated! Chen Qun didn't believe Jia Xu's words at all.
"60,000 soldiers and horses, it is indeed very difficult to block the 100,000 iron horses of the Xiongnu!" Cao Cao had experienced hundreds of battles, and he also agreed with Cheng Yu and Chen Qun's views, "Wen He, why do you have such an opinion?
"Lord, under normal circumstances, 60,000 soldiers and horses can't stop 100,000 iron cavalry at all, but the Han army is defending by the city, as long as it does not fight with the cavalry, it is equivalent to attacking the other with its own strength, and the advantage of the cavalry is not obvious. Another point is that the battle is about knowing oneself and knowing the other, and his subordinates thought that the Han king Liu Jun knew a lot about the Xiongnu, while the Xiongnu Liu Bao did not know much about the Han king.
"How much does Liu Wei know about the Xiongnu?" Cao Cao frowned, "Wen He, how can you see it?"
"Lord, we have just received the news of the gathering of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses, but Liu Jun has already set out with the army. 10,000 troops, and the cavalry was transferred from Yanzhou, and it took at least ten days from assembly to departure, that is to say, ten days ago, the Han king Liu Jun had already received the exact news, which is to know oneself and know the other!
After Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao frowned, and Cheng Yu and Chen Qun also suddenly realized.
"Lord, what Wen He said is reasonable, Zhuge Liang led five thousand soldiers and horses to Jincheng, and Xianbei, Western Qiang, and Western Regions soldiers and horses gathered outside the Yumen Pass, and we just received the news!" Cheng Yu saluted Cao Cao, "King Liu Jun of Han, it is indeed puzzling!"
"I heard that the Han Army's Skynet is very powerful, so they got the news very early." Chen Qun said.
"The Han Army's Skynet, Eastern Wu's Heavenly Eye, and our ghost pawns, their ability to detect intelligence is almost the same, even if the Han Army transmits intelligence faster, it cannot be more than ten days faster than us." Jia Xu said.
"Wen He, after you go down, let the ghost clan pay more attention to the Han army's Skynet and try to figure out how they passed on intelligence?"
"No!"
At this moment, the ghost pawn sent another letter of information about Xiliang. Since foreign invasion is a major event, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Western Qiang, and the countries of the Western Regions, if they want to invade the Great Han, they are their common enemies, so this information must be delivered as soon as possible.
After Jia Xu took the information, he didn't look at it and handed it directly to the lord Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao read it, his face became extremely gloomy, and he dropped the intelligence on the desk, releasing a thick murderous aura all over his body.
"Master, what happened?" Cheng Yu asked carefully.
"How can it be reasonable, the 200,000 iron horses of foreign races are actually equipped with bilateral stirrups and horseshoes!" Cao Cao's voice was filled with anger.
"What, all with bilateral stirrups and horseshoes?" After Jia Xu listened, he was also shocked, the war horse has these two kinds of equipment, the combat power of the cavalry will be doubled, or even more, 200,000 iron horses, rolling torrents south, once into the Central Plains, who can stop it?
Immediately Jia Xu thought, how did the Xiongnu and Xianbei know this secret of the cavalry? It is absolutely impossible for Liu Jun to leak it to foreign races, then only their own people...
Jia Xu didn't dare to think about it.
"The equipment of the cavalry is our top secret, who leaked it to the foreign race?" Cao Cao stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, "The ancestor of the emperor handed down the ancestral teaching, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, although those who violate my great Han will be condemned from afar, foreign races are not only Liu Jun's enemies, but also our enemies!" "
Xianbei and the Xiongnu went south, and the first to suffer was Liu Jun, but if Liu Jun could not stop it, they could not rush to the south, because the river was crisscrossed there, which was not conducive to cavalry combat, so they would definitely rush to Jizhou. And the Xiongnu and Xianbei knew, how could Gokarasuma not know? If they go south, Qingzhou, Hezhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou will all be trampled by iron horses.
Leaking this secret to foreigners is damned!
"Come, send Zihuan to me!"
"No!"
Cao Cao wanted to pass on Cao Pi, and everyone immediately thought, is this Cao Pi's doing, that is impossible! Leaking this secret to foreign tribes, although this time can cause great losses to Han King Liu Jun, but what about later? Once the foreign race becomes stronger, will the Great Wei be peaceful?
However, looking at Cao Cao's angry look, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and the other three did not dare to ask more.
After a while, Cao Pi came to the Wei palace and saluted Cao Cao and everyone.
"The children have seen the father, and they have seen the adults!"
"Zihuan, look at this intelligence!" Cao Cao handed the information to Cao Pi.
After Cao Pi took it, he browsed it carefully, and his face suddenly changed.
"Father, how so? This...... If this foreign tribe knew these secrets of the cavalry, wouldn't it... Isn't it..."
Cao Cao kept staring into Cao Pi's eyes, wanting to discover something?
"Zihuan, is this what you did?"
"Father, how can a child be like this, the child swears to heaven, this matter is not the child's doing, otherwise the sky will strike thunder!"
"Master, this must not be the work of the son of the world!" Seeing that Cao Pi made a poisonous oath, Cheng Yu said.
"Lord, his subordinates also believe that this cannot be the work of the son of the world!" Chen Qun also said.
"Lord, his subordinates got news from Ma Chao a few days ago, and he is also near Yumen Pass!" Jia Xu said.
"Ma Chao, could it be him?" Cao Cao frowned.
"Master, my subordinates think it is likely to be Ma Chao!" Cheng Yu immediately said, "Ma Chao and the Han king Liu Jun have also fought many times, in addition to the cavalry, the war horses of various generals of the Han army are also equipped with bilateral stirrups and nailed iron palms, Ma Chao is a thousand enemies, naturally he can find that he has always wanted to retake Liangzhou from the Han king with the help of foreign forces!"
