Chapter 3622 The deep forest boat stagnates, and the wind and fire are only born

Any organization and any country will face management difficulties.

Especially when the scope of management is larger and there are more management personnel, various problems will inevitably arise.

How good was Yuan Shao's management when he was just managing himself and a small group of people around him? Even though he was on the East Gate of the Hall and was a defector from the Han Dynasty, there were still people following Yuan Shao, including Xu You who later defected to Cao Cao.

Then Yuan Shao's territory became bigger and there were many problems.

Yuan Shao's management model is obviously not suitable for the situation after the team becomes bigger and the territory becomes more.

It's like a transportation network.

Originally, there were few nodes and fast turnover. Some problems could be quickly passed on to the top, and the problems that appeared below can be solved quickly. However, after many nodes and processes were complicated, many problems would be stuck in a certain place, not necessarily intentional, but if the process was not improved, there would be congestion in some place.

So, Cao Cao was waiting for Yuan Shao to experience "congestion", not necessarily Wuchao, but maybe somewhere else.

Now, Cao Cao is also waiting for Fei to experience "congestion".

This kind of "congestion" is not something that Fei Qian doesn't want to appear. The longer it operates, the longer the front line is, the more likely it is to have these problems.

Why can Cao Cao still believe in victory at a disadvantage? First of all, even if Cao Cao himself has a drop of blood, there is still the possibility of thunder and fire burning ropes, right?

Secondly, Cao Cao was so familiar with human nature. He had encountered almost all kinds of betrayals, from sour jujube to Yangzhou, from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, and almost every step of improvement, someone betrayed him, and there were even several times when he was in danger and died, so now is it more dangerous than the danger Cao Cao encountered before?

The most important point is that Cao Cao has now contracted his front.

Cao Cao is good at using tactical flexibility and command advantages to concentrate elite troops to launch surprise attacks in a chaotic situation. Now that Fei sneaked out of Tongguan and entered Heluo, the next front line will be longer and longer, and this will face a great test for Feiqian's logistics and flank defense requirements and resilience transmission.

Of course, these are all Cao Cao's ideas. Whether Fei Qian has these problems, even if there is a problem, whether Cao Cao can be exposed, and whether he can catch it after it is exposed, is uncertain.

It's like Wuchao.

Cao Cao is waiting for "Wuchao" now.

The code name of this action is also called "Wuchao".

After the Cavalry Army won consecutive victories in the Heluo area of ​​Guanzhong, Hedong, the Central Plains area of ​​Cao's Shandong suffered a sluggish morale and a weakened army, but it also brought one advantage, which was that it gradually began to polarize.

Originally, Shandong was ambiguous...

If you want to reverse the crisis at this moment, the most urgent thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, boost morale, and unite all forces closely together.

To this end, Cao Cao took advantage of the name given to him by the emperor and wrote to all parties, summoning them to discuss strategies to save the country.

In terms of defense strategy, although it is still extremely difficult to implement according to Cao Cao's method, it is at least the only way at the moment.

The local representatives of the gentry and the great families summoned by Cao Cao also knew that the power of Cao Cao could not defend the Sishui Pass and could not stop the Cavalry Army from pacifying the world.

The first person to show kindness to Cao Cao was Jiangdong.

Although Cao Cao also knew that Jiangdong Erlangzi's "good intention" might turn into a dagger that stabs his chrysanthemum at any time, under the current situation, Cao Cao could only express his joyful acceptance and give full affirmation. He asked the emperor to add Jiangdong Erlang.

The act of repaying favor also led Jiangdong to start mobilizing troops and preparing to cooperate with Cao's army to resist soldiers in the Sichuan and Shu direction. This allowed Cao Cao to slightly release the problem on the southern line.

The direction that collapsed more severely now is the North Line.

Jizhou is now full of war.

The mess that Yuan Shao left behind before was damaged before Cao Cao had time to sort out and plan. On the one hand, the independence of the small manor economy in Jizhou was unable to be eradicated, and Cao Cao had no time to deal with it. On the other hand, the arms and legs of the local gentry in Jizhou were all raised in two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he felt that he could discuss the conditions with the central court and fight against the arm.

Yuan Shao had indeed fallen before, but Jizhou and Yuzhou were already like water and fire. It was Cao Cao's idea that he could shake hands and make peace so simply, and then turn around to deal with Fei Qian and live in harmony.

This was more obvious when Cao Cao entered Guanzhong.

Cui Yan's actions in Yuzhou were to some extent acquiesced by Xun Yu and others.

It's like cutting.

Pain, and bloody.

If Cao Cao can survive, then these cut-out flesh and blood will be an opportunity for rebirth.

So now, Cao Cao is trying to survive at all costs.

As long as you can survive, the previous cutting will make sense.

As long as you can survive, it is equivalent to dragging Fei Qian to Heluo and Yanzhou.

Before, Cao Cao's four armies advanced together and consumed as much military funds and rations. So now, how much does the Cavalry Army have to consume!

Although Fei Qian's total number of troops at this stage is smaller than that of Cao Cao at that time, Fei Qian's current number of war horses is more than Cao Cao!

A war horse can match the food for five people!

Once Fei Qian's finances cannot be topped up, then "Wuchao" will not be far away.

If you want to defend the Sishui Pass, it is not enough to rely solely on the prevention and fortifications of the Sishui Pass.

At least Cao Cao understood this when he saw the artillery displayed in Fei Qian’s place at Tongguan, so he used Heishi Pass, Gongxian and others as the pre-fortifications of Sishui Pass to weaken and consume step by step.

Because Cao Cao knew the biggest weakness of firearms and gunpowder.

Non-renewable.

When the shells are shot out, they are shot out, and when the gunpowder is used, they are used.

So now Cao Cao is the focus of defense and gives up the edge.

This also shortened the Cao army's originally too wide line.

The front and southern lines were better, but the key point in the north, Yecheng, made Cao Cao a little worried.

If Yecheng is lost, it means that the cavalry army can cross the river and attack Cao Cao's heartland of Yuzhou at any time, but it is not of much significance to draw troops to rescue Yecheng at this stage.

Because Jizhou also needs to make "cutting"...

As the Cavalry Army showed a powerful threat, the relationship between Cao Cao and Sun Quan quickly heated up. From the perspective of the overall situation, if Cao Cao and Sun Quan could work together, when the Cavalry Army attacked Shandong, the Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army jointly fought a new battlefield in Jingzhou. They could march northward to Wuguan to attack Guanzhong, and to westward to march into Sichuan and Shu for a second time. This would inevitably lead to the flanks of the Cavalry Army, and even affect the front battlefield of the Cavalry Army.

but……

In fact, it is unlikely.

Because Cao Cao and Sun Quan really have no basis for cooperation.

If Yuan Shao had not died at that time and Fei Qian was a powerful enemy, it would be said that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would cooperate, and they could cooperate well. After all, there was a friendship between the two. Cao Cao and Sun Quan had not had any friendship before, so how could they have a tacit understanding together?

...

...

Spring rain sprouts, summer rain pulls out seedlings.

As the summer rains, Zhuanghe in the fields almost looked like he was lifting one section a day. In the blink of an eye, he raised his head in one go, straightened his waist, stretched in the air, and smiled.

What is the surname of today? Liu, Cao, or Fei? The difference between them may be just the granary of which family the farmers will eventually send to.

People all need to eat, and as long as they live for one day, they need to eat for one day.

After Hedong returns to the three-color flag, it is impossible to fall into chaos for a long time. It must still return to life and bring up the bowl of food again.

The Pei family was disbanded, partly went to the Western Regions, and partly stayed.

This has great benefits. First of all, there is no so-called "leader" in Hedong. Xun Chen's promotion of the new Tian Zheng will naturally no one dares to jump out and fight Xun Chen, or do something slight to do.

But there are also disadvantages.

If the Pei family is still the leader of Hedong, then as long as the Pei family nods, the local snake and the crossing river dragon will almost no one dares to do anything. However, now the local snake has been cut into two parts, and the only one who is half dead is the crossing river dragon, which is impossible to take care of some places.

During this period, Xun Chen's work focus has been on restoring production.

In some ways, what Xun Chen did is right.

If production resumes one day earlier, food and grass support can be provided one day earlier, and it can contribute to the next stage of the attack of the Cavalry, rather than becoming a burden.

However, Xun Chen is not a three-headed and six-armed person after all. He has lost the effective support of local snakes. There are too many things that require Xun Chen to handle centrally, so that there are some details that are easily ranked behind and even congested in a certain link.

Cao Xiu is dead.

Xiahou Dun is still alive.

Fei Qian did not kill Xiahou Dun, but wanted to keep Xiahou Dun for fishing.

Xiahou Dun himself knew this.

But Xiahou Dun also wants to decouple.

A person dies, and no matter how much sadness or regret is, it is useless.

After a brief grief, Xiahou Dun re-entered his role.

He is a "surrender", but not a simple "surrender".

Fei Qian knew this, and Xun Chen also knew it.

So no matter where Xiahou Dun was, there were Hussar soldiers around him, called guards, but actually surveillance.

But Xiahou Dun still believed that he could find a solution, or that he believed that Cao Cao could find a solution.

Because that was Cao Aman.

Xun Chen could not have been watching Xiahou Dun every day. Moreover, as a surrendered general, as long as Xiahou Dun does not do anything out of order, his daily behavior will not be deliberately restricted.

After all, I used to take Xiahou Dun as a sign to surrender Cao's army.
