Chapter 6503 Wisdom
Originally, this secret report should not be for Zhuge Liang to read. Except for Guo Jia and Fa Zheng, who are in charge of the war zone intelligence, and Chen Xi, who have signed everything, everyone else cannot read it.
Zhuge Liang's positioning in the Zhengyuan has not reached the peak of Lu Su's level so far. He mainly deals with internal affairs. Generally, Chen Xi will not let Zhuge Liang point fingers in military terms, but it is not that he looks down on Zhuge Liang's military level.
To be honest, Zhuge Liang's military ability is definitely the strongest among the Zhengyuan group, but on the one hand it is unnecessary, and on the other hand, there is nothing good about the war report.
But what about the strategic plan sent by Kandahar this time? Chen Xi's first reaction after reading it was that this thing was exactly the same as the last time he went to Qishan. Then he handed it to Zhuge Liang like a conditioned reflex, hoping that Zhuge Liang would give him some comments.
It was only after giving it to Chen Xi that he shouldn't have shown this for Zhuge Liang, but it doesn't matter if he has already seen it. Zhuge Liang will not be rumored anyway.
"Zichuan, who proposed this plan?" Zhuge Liang's face looked a little gloomy, which was very different from the gentleness before.
"Who proposed it? Cao Mengde proposed it." Chen Xi thought for a while and replied.
Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this, and then sneered, "It's not that I look down on Cao Mengde. If he had this ability, he wouldn't have been delayed until now."
Cao Cao's strategy and tactics are actually not bad, but Cao Cao lacks the kind of strategy and tactics that are steady and steady. Generally speaking, Cao Cao won the final victory through various adventurous operations.
And the operation in this secret newspaper is completely incompatible with Cao Cao's character, and it can be said that it is a strategy that Cao Cao would never have come up with in his life.
"Don't underestimate Cao Sikong. Apart from the fact that he is really a bit rough in handling certain things, not treating ordinary people as humans, etc., if you talk about his abilities, it's still okay." Chen Xi thought about it, but still didn't realize the problem of this strategy.
"Cao Mengde cannot make such a strategy. Zichuan, please think carefully. All Cao Mengde's strategies and tactics are risky and radical. The ways of victory are all gambling, and they are basically big wins or big losses." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "He can't figure out this cautious and persistent strategy."
Zhuge Liang was embarrassed to say that he thought of this thing first. From the time when Cao Cao seemed to be about to fall, Zhuge Liang began to think about replacing it.
Compared to destroying Cao Cao's humane way, Zhuge Liang wanted to make Cao Cao's infamous for thousands of years.
It is indeed a pleasure to destroy humanity, but there is no trace after the destruction of humanity. Only a few words have been recorded in history books. It is estimated that no one knows the disgusting things Cao Cao did in hundreds of years, so Cao Cao must be banned in history as a negative textbook.
For this reason, Zhuge Liang carefully studied the topographic map of Beigui, looking for an effective plan to conquer Ardashire, and racked his brains to find a plan that will not be defeated throughout the whole process, and will steadily advance the strategy, and form a general trend, in order to compare.
For Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister can quit his job, but he must not miss the opportunity to hang Cao Cao in history books as a negative textbook. Moreover, in order to make the other party permanently embarrassing, he must do very well, so outstanding that he cannot be picked at all.
This is difficult, but who made him Zhuge Liang!
So after careful study, comparing the combat power of the enemy and us, as well as the psychological conditions of the Beigui and the Han families, Zhuge Liang finally found an effective strategic plan, waiting for Cao Cao to wake up, and then Cao Ang was beaten up and stood up to take over Kandahar himself.
As for whether he can take over, this is not a problem. As long as Cao Cao cannot wake up and Cao Ang loses his troops and generals, Zhuge Liang does not need others to stand up and exert efforts, and he can take over Kandahar himself. The only person who is likely to stop this is Chen Xi. Others, including the Central Asian family, are probably also welcome.
Chen Xi's blocking was more of a consideration at the government level, but as long as Zhuge Liang dared to issue a military order, Chen Xi would probably pass it. After all, Zhuge Liang is indeed young now, less than thirty years old. There is no big problem when he goes to Kandahar and breaks Ardashir back and continues to be the prime minister.
Isn't it delaying anything? I just happened to deal with Ardashire and slap Cao Cao hard, and then come back to be the prime minister. This mentality may be better. With great satisfaction, it may be even stronger. This is also worth a bet on Chen Xi.
As a result, Chen Gong, a teammate who was very angry, didn't know what tricks he played, so he woke Cao Cao up. After Cao Cao returned, he came up with such a strategic plan and sent it to Chang'an. Zhuge Liang had some chest pain, and he had no other intentions. He was so angry that he was jumping his face!
Chen Xi thought about what Zhuge Liang said. Indeed, Cao Cao was not the kind of cautious person. The things this guy made really rely on adventurous spirit.
"That's probably what Xun Wenruo and others did last year." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "What do Kong Ming have to think?"
Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned when he heard this, then sat down and pressed his temple. He could be sure that he had not discussed this thing with Chen Gong. Since he knew that he and Chen Gong were fake teammates, he had not mentioned any plans to Chen Gong about how to guide Kabul.
But I didn't expect that after a year, not only did he think of this, but others also thought of this. This is really damn, no, no, it should be said that we should not underestimate the people of the world.
"A very good plan and very execution, but with Cao Mengde's words, there is a possibility of losing. It's not that the strategy is incorrect, but that Cao Mengde's strength is not enough." Zhuge Liang pointed out the fatal point of this strategy. Zhuge Liang dared to play like this because Zhuge Liang was sure to play with Arda Hill head-on. Are you worthy of Cao Cao playing like this?
Zhuge Liang was truly a teammate with Ardashir, so he knew very well what kind of talent Ardashir had. On the battlefield, Zhuge Liang just thought about the last step that guy took in the impossible, and knew that if he really wanted to kill himself, Cao Cao would probably not be able to withstand it.
In fact, this is the same as the last time he went out to Qishan, when Zhuge Liang could play the Wei River farming, but Jiang Wei couldn't play it. This trick looked simple, and it also depends on his strength. In Zhuge Liang's opinion, Cao Cao's strategy was completely to regard Arda Hill he had faced before as the peak of the other party.
What dream is this? Ardashir's overall strategy is to think from Zhuge Liang's current perspective. The main goal at this stage is to maintain a balance of power, expand the scale of troops, and then take down Kandahar in one go. This is a complete resurrection. Before this, the better performance, the more it will make Cao Cao's power afraid and further strengthen defense.
"Do you think that even if Cao Mengde stood firm at the pass, he still couldn't beat Arda Hill without logistical pressure?" Chen Xi thought about it. He looked very familiar with this strategy, because he had used it at least twice in history, one was Zhuge Liang, which was about to succeed, and the other was the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It was truly successful, so there is no doubt about the executability of the entire strategy, and the success rate is extremely high.
However, considering that Jiang Wei could not implement this way, when Zhuge Liang, the official Shi, went to Qishan for the last time, after a legion of Meng Yan was dispatched to cross the river first, Sima Yi had to wait until the Wei River rose to the water before the entire army could attack and encircle Meng Yan. This did not kill the five or six thousand men who crossed the river. This shows the gap between the two sides at the actual combat level.
Sure enough, no matter how amazing the strategy is, it still depends on tactical strength in the end.
"Show me." Li You heard the conversation between the two and suddenly spoke to Chen Xi.
"Ah, this kind of thing should not be shown to you. Although this is the first time Cao Sikong submitted a strategic plan to Chang'an, according to the military region, only this kind of information can be seen by Duke Xuande and I, as well as Feng Xiaozhi, who manages external intelligence." Chen Xi explained to Li You.
"Cao Mengde doesn't follow the rules and regulations, let's follow it?" Li You said with a sneer. He wanted to know what amazing move Cao Cao had made to make Chen Xi and Zhuge Liang so serious.
"Uh, don't, this is not good." Chen Xi refused, the rules still need to be discussed.
Seeing Chen Xi refuse, Zhuge Liang rummaged around and searched everywhere. He quickly found a booklet and handed it to Chen Xi, "Look at this, you can show it to Master Li."
Chen Xi was confused, so he took the booklet, opened it, looked at the beginning, then closed the booklet, looked at Zhuge Liang, opened the booklet, closed the booklet, and picked up Cao Cao's secret report beside him. His first reaction was that anyone dared to steal things from the Government Affairs Council?
However, Chen Xi then destroyed this idea. Only he and Liu Bei occasionally took things without complaints. Others dared not take things here casually. It would be really dead. Even Chen Gong and Cao Cao would never do such things.
"Sure enough, is human wisdom the same?" Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang with a little emotion. He basically understood what Zhuge Liang wanted to do, but unfortunately Cao Cao had already started doing it.
However, since it was created by Zhuge Liang himself, it doesn’t matter. We are not discussing Cao Cao’s strategic plan. We are discussing whether Zhuge Liang’s plan is implemented.
He handed Zhuge Liang's booklet to Li You, "Wenru, look at this, read this, you will understand after reading it. By the way, you can also evaluate how this strategic plan is. You can pass it on."
Chen Xi did not regard Cao Cao as a human being at all. Anyway, what is circulated is not Cao Cao's strategy and tactics, but Zhuge Liang's idea of a certain region. It's just that this idea coincides with Cao Cao's strategy and tactics. Oh, no, it is Cao Cao's strategy and tactics overlap with Zhuge Liang's idea.
"This plan..." Li You had never been to Beigui, but Li You also had some topographic videos of Beigui Mountain recorded by immortals, so the general situation was clear. Therefore, Li You could actually understand why Cao Cao was stuck in Kandahar and could not move forward or retreat. However, after watching Zhuge Liang's plan, Li You had some idea that Cao Cao was more flirtatious.
"It is very executable." Li You was silent for a while and gave an evaluation, "At least, at my level, I didn't find many problems. As long as I stand firm at the pass, take advantage of the time when Ardashir collects grain, I will successfully send my strength to the marginal area of Kabul, and unite the local people of Beigui, and it will basically become a local household. It is not easy for Ardashir to clean up."
"Indeed, even I can see that as long as I can sit, the longer the delay, the less hope Aldashir will be." Mi Zhu had to find Chen Xi today, and only a few came to the Government Affairs Council. Then he looked at it when he was circulating it. After seeing it, he looked admiring. This group of people was indeed excellent.
"It is true that the longer it takes, the weaker Aldashir is." Fazheng nodded, "Strategically, there is no problem."
"However, the problem is that Cao Sikong seriously underestimated Ardashir. The Ardashir he saw was greatly weakened. When he went to Kabul, the Ardashir he saw was probably the most peak Ardashir. Cao Sikong could not defend at all." Zhuge Liang said straightforwardly. Although he wanted Cao Cao to finish his life early and then take over it himself, some things were really not considered like this at the national level, because it was not just Cao Cao who died.
"Barak is probably stronger than Cao Sikong now. With mutual cooperation, it should be no problem to win the pass, but Barak and Cao Sikong may not be able to block Ardashire's attack. The unbuilt fortress is the same as the fortress Cao Sikong built in the upper reaches of the Helmand River, and it is all bait." Zhuge Liang said with some distracting fatigue.
Zhuge Liang analyzed these things early. Of course, Zhuge Liang also believed that Xun Yu and others had analyzed them. He also knew that the fortress before the Kabul River Valley was a bait, but with Cao Cao and Barak, it didn't matter whether the bait was not a bait. As long as you rush up and explode the fortress, then extend inward, and become a seated house, it didn't matter what effect the bait Ardashir had.
"Is Arda Hill so strong?" Li You frowned.
"Maybe stronger than this. I compared the situation a few years ago and normal development, but I can't say how much he will improve. The idea is OK, but even I didn't plan to fight Ardashir in the original plan." Zhuge Liang explained after hearing this. With his own comparison, Li You roughly understood Ardashir's approximate strength.
"In other words, you believe in the executability of this plan, but when it falls on Cao Si's hands, this thing is actually impossible to implement." Chen Xi asked thoughtfully, "That is, you will win first and then lose, right? You occupy the pass fortress and start to extend inward, quickly gaining the advantage of the battle situation, and then be defeated by Ardashir?"
"It's not enough to defeat, Barak should be able to guarantee the bottom line." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "The only variable under Cao Sikong's rule is actually Barak. Others may have trump cards, but facing Ardashire, it cannot change the overall situation."
"That's going to be a big defeat, too." Chen Xi sighed, "Then I'll deny this."
Zhuge Liang was a little confused when he heard this. He knew how to enter the Kabul River Valley and how to win with the chess pieces on Cao Cao's hands, but when he thought that it was Cao Cao, he didn't want to say it.
The problem is that Chen Xi just denied it like this. Is it a bit too much? At least I will show it to Liu Bei. Oh, Liu Bei took Xu Chu to Sichuan to meet Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu, and took Sun Gan by the way, so that Chen Xi could handle anything by himself.
"What's wrong, Kong Ming?" Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang's entangled expression and asked strangely, "Is there any problem?"
"In fact, there is a way to win Cao Sikong." Zhuge Liang looked confused, and even didn't want to speak, but this was not just Cao Cao's own business after all.
"This strategy is fine. The problem is actually Cao Sikong's overall strength and Aldashir's explosive power. As long as this can be solved, this strategy can be implemented." Zhuge Liang sighed and said, feeling that he should think about the problem from the national level and not harm public affairs because of personal grudges.
"It is normal to attack when harvesting summer grains, but this time is not the best time." Zhuge Liang suppressed his unnecessary thoughts and said to Chen Xi and others, "The real best time should be when the flood in Beigui is coming."
"Wait, will Beigui cause floods?" Li You looked at Zhuge Liang in a daze and asked, "Isn't that arid desert and a mountainous climate in the plateau?"
Chen Xi was stunned when she heard this, and then she showed a deep look. Zhuge Liang's words gave Chen Xi a reminder that the mountainous area of Beigui will cause floods, but the probability is extremely low, which is basically rare in a century. However, because it is rare in a century, the flood is not too large, and its lethality is invincible in the area of Beigui.
"There will be flooding." Chen Xi replied in place of Zhuge Liang, "The probability is very low, but this is indeed the case."
"Last year, the use of the seraphic rings caused by climate change, snow disasters in the Central Plains, droughts in Rome, Kushan floods, and the world-wide climate disasters will last for one to two years." Chen Xi continued to explain, "So what hydrological conditions are probably in line with the speculation that rain will be coming to the Beigui Mountains, right?"
After saying that, Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang. Many abnormal weather, if it is inferred based on hydrological data, is actually periodic.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang dared to say this, but he probably found hydrological materials that could be referenced, and asked the Gan family and Shi family to calculate it with Xu Yue and Xu Chao next door.
"Sure enough, Zichuan, you know everything." Zhuge Liang said with a little admiration. "About June this year, rainfall in the Beigui Mountains may occur, and it will also affect Kandahar. The precipitation in Kabul will rise rapidly, and then form floods."
