Chapter 117 3. Liu Bei is a rat

The Chibi War has begun. Let's first look at the deployment of troops on both sides.On Cao Cao's side, it is said that there are 830,000 people, but in fact there are 200,000 people.But Cao Cao was right when he said 800,000 people. If logistics, communications, medical troops, and art troupes are all included, the frontline combat troops are 200,000 people, and each brother must have at least three people to send food from thousands of miles. Cao Cao said eight One hundred and thirty thousand people is not an exaggeration.The combined forces of Soochow and Liu Bei totaled 50,000 people.

Just looking at the comparison of the strength of the two sides, one can know the outcome of this battle.On the side of the coalition army, there are only 50,000 people at full strength. Even the people from Cao Cao's side came over and stretched their necks for you to chop, and you will be exhausted in the end.So we must find a worry-free way to end this mess as soon as possible.Hundreds of thousands of people gathered by the river, not to mention going home to do farm work, what does that sound like? This battle is just a replica of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at Guandu. The rule is: whichever side has more people will suffer a big loss.

In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had too many people, and the supply of food and grass became a big problem. As a result, Cao Cao stormed Wuchao, and the battle ended.Here, Cao Cao moved to Yuan Shao's position. He has too many people, and the system is huge and complicated. Even if there is a small disturbance, it will cause big trouble. As for Liu Bei and Zhou Yu, there are only 50,000 people in total. If you want to flee, you can run away. If you win, you can chase and kill them. If you lose, you can go to the mountains to fight guerrillas.Unless Cao Cao can send out surprise troops to suddenly surround these two groups of lawbreakers, and then wipe them all out, otherwise this battle will not be easy to fight.

Also like Wuchao, if Zhou Yu wanted to settle Cao Cao, he had no choice but to attack with fire.In fact, all the major battles in the Three Kingdoms era used the method of fire attack, because fire attack is the most primitive firearm.The raging flames are terrible weapons of mass destruction. So, Cao Cao once used fire attack to destroy Yuan Shao, wouldn't he have thought that Zhou Yu would also use fire attack to deal with him? He really can't think of it.What evidence? There are two evidences. One is that human beings have blind spots in thinking. Humans, a weird species, know best when they are messing with others. When it is their turn, their brains are obviously not enough.When Cao Cao was at a disadvantage and engaged in Yuan Shao, his mind was super flexible.Now that Zhou Yu is at a disadvantage and comes to engage Cao Cao, Cao Cao's brains are not enough.The second evidence is that when Zhou Yu's commanding navy joined Liu Bei, Liu Bei rushed over in a small boat and asked, "Xiao Zhou, how many of you are here?" Zhou Yu said, "Thirty thousand." Liu Bei said, "" Is it too little?"

This detail in history shows that Liu Bei, who is quite talented as an emperor, doesn't understand military at all.He just knew that he would stay in the city and fight with the people outside.The small city he guarded before, after entering Xichuan, he used Xichuan as his city and continued to fight with everyone.Liu Bei is a rat, and he has nothing else to think about in his life other than wasting people. Although Liu Bei does not understand, it does not mean that Cao Cao does not understand.But looking at Cao Cao's performance, his level is comparable to that of Liu Bei, so he really doesn't understand.

This evidence is Cao Cao's Duan Ge Xing.
