The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 563: Join forces together

It hurts the most when you hit someone with your five fingers clenched into a fist.

This is a very simple truth.

The civil and military officials under the Four Kings each have their own strengths, and especially their talents are different from one another, all of which can be used in a wonderful way.

Although they can both exert powerful combat power when fighting on their own, if they are integrated together, a more terrifying chemical reaction will occur, producing an effect where one plus one is far greater than two.

Looking at the dozens of wise generals and counselors in the tent, Cao Cao felt that he had never fought such a prosperous battle.

If there had been such an opportunity in the past war in the Central Plains, there might have been a chance of a turnaround.

But unfortunately, that is impossible.

A close union is easier said than done.

They were all lords of one side, and being able to act together and use their troops together was almost the highest degree of trust. Being able to command each other's troops was even more of a breakthrough.

But even so, there is still a long way to go before we can truly join forces.

Because their interests are not completely consistent, and there are even major differences, it is destined that no matter how much trust they have, they are only allies.

But now, things have changed.

Although they all belonged to the Great Qi, their identities had changed. They all regarded themselves as subordinates of the Great Qi and as Han people, and they had a certain sense of identity within the group.

Located in Central Asia, it faced powerful enemies such as the Kushan Empire and the Parthian Empire, and the external pressure was sufficient.

Moreover, in the near future, there will be a tripartite alliance among Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Liu Fan in the south, which will be a potential competitor.

The current situation is much better than when the princes formed an alliance in the past, and it is a rare opportunity.

Therefore, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao strongly advocated joining forces, wanting to take this opportunity to try whether they could truly integrate each other's strength.

If possible, the road ahead will be much easier.

Because the union of the four parties will be an extremely long process, at least after defeating Rome.

Try it early, if it fails, just accept it and cut your losses in time. If it succeeds, it will be a great surprise.

He glanced at the civil and military officials present one by one. Because of the enlightenment of the Four Kings, they had already gained a great degree of understanding.

This is a good start.

But the human heart is hard to understand.

"I believe everyone here is aware of the situation we are facing now."

"We are all Han people! We are all under the command of the Great Qi. I, Benchu, Fengxian, and Bogui are no longer princes! Our identities are the princes of the Great Qi!"

"And your identities are generals and ministers under our command, but also generals and ministers of Da Qi!"

The identity that was once difficult to talk about was now directly and frankly stated by Cao Cao.

The situation is stronger than the person. Tian Ze has pushed the situation to this point. Cao Cao and others have completely understood that Tian Ze had a lot of good intentions in letting them out, but there must have been a lot of considerations in secret.

For the sake of their future imperial ambitions, they must acknowledge from the bottom of their hearts the ruling status of Da Qi over them, because this is the best introduction to unity.

"In this battle, I hope you will abandon all selfish thoughts and obey my orders."

"I, Cao Mengde, hereby swear that I will uphold impartiality, put the interests of the Han people first, and never show any bias towards my own side. If I violate this, there will be such a case!"

After saying that, Cao Cao drew the Yitian sword from his waist and without hesitation, split the table in front of him in half.

Then Yuan Shao also stood up, looked at the crowd and said: "What Meng De said is what I said."

After saying that, he also drew the long sword from his waist and split the table in front of him into two halves.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan did the same without hesitation to make their attitude clear.

Me too!
They also knew that they did not have as good a sense of the overall situation and eloquence as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so they simply followed them.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent was warm and solemn. The civil and military officials were moved by the four kings' lofty ambitions and they all clasped their fists and shouted, "I accept your orders!"

"Fengxian, you are best at frontal cavalry combat. You will be the vanguard in this battle, leading 20,000 elite cavalry!"

"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Cao Chun, Han Meng and others are under your command. Once the battle begins, do not hold back and make sure to break through the Northern Xiongnu's vanguard as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Lu Bu said solemnly.

With the intention of working together with the four countries, Cao Cao did not consider the affiliations of these generals at all. Instead, he directly integrated all the civil and military officers into one consideration and planned the war purely based on their compatibility, talents, and coordination.

This was also a practical exercise they organized in advance for the future attack on Kushan.

Among all the generals, the four with the strongest ability in frontal attack were undoubtedly Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Cao Chun and Han Meng.

Three of them were subordinates of Yuan Shao, so it seemed most appropriate for Yuan Shao to be the commander.

But Cao Cao did not think so.

Although Yuan Shao's talent has a strong effect on the soldiers' will, its effect is far inferior to Lu Bu's talent in the case of a frontal cavalry charge.

Having washed away all the dross and made further progress, Lu Bu has now sublimated his talent as a flying general into the talent of a monarch.

On the basis of adding bonuses to all attributes of the soldiers under your command, when charging under non-disadvantaged circumstances, there will be additional enhancements in speed, impact force, morale, etc.

This will undoubtedly be a great help to the combination of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals.

"Benchu, using force to overwhelm others is your forte. You will command the 20,000 central troops."

"Gao Lan, Cao Ren, Zhu Ling and others are under your command. After Fengxian defeats the enemy, quickly advance with your entire army to secure victory."

"Yes!" Yuan Shao also bowed.

Since even he obeys orders, there is no need to worry that the other generals under his command will have other ideas.

If the most important thing for a vanguard is courage and sharpness, then the most important attributes for the central army are momentum and resilience.

In this regard, Yuan Shao's golden combination is undoubtedly the best main force. Combined with Cao Ren, who is strong in both offense and defense, and Zhu Ling, who is good at creating momentum, the momentum they can create is definitely enough to overwhelm the opponent.

"Bogui, you are best at pursuit and outflanking, so you will command the 20,000 elite cavalry on the left wing."

"Xiahou Yuan, Han Sui, Jiang Qi and others are under your command. When the Northern Xiongnu flee, immediately send troops to pursue and encircle them, and do your best to kill the enemy!"

"Yes!" said Gongsun Zan.

These guys are all good at light cavalry and have talents that increase their speed or pursuit of enemies, making them most suitable for post-war harvesting.

In the battle against the Hu cavalry, the role of Gongsun Zan's troops was actually the most important.

Because it was a head-on battle, Cao Cao didn't worry about winning or losing at all.

The real key lies in whether we can hold on to the Northern Huns and how many enemies we can kill.

All of these require Gongsun Zan to take action.

In this regard, even Lu Bu is inferior.

"The rest of the generals, Xu Chu, Chunyu Qiong, Cao Hong, Gao Gan, etc., are all under my command, and they will lead 20,000 elite cavalry as the right wing as reserve." Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Although he did not think much of the Northern Huns.

However, after experiencing repeated battles with Tian Ze, Cao Cao became more prepared for any eventuality.

His right wing is there to prepare for any eventuality, and they are all capable of turning the tide.

Even in a desperate situation, you can still turn the situation around to avoid a disaster.

"As for the rear army, send a message to General Zhang Liao, hoping he will come as soon as possible." Cao Cao said quietly.
