There is no way, Cao Wei has enough food now, Cao Cao Cao Ang is famous, and the casualty rate of this Cao army is very low, precisely because they have a very strong medical team and a lot of antibiotics.
With such a guarantee, plus the fact that enlisting in the army can have military pay and food to eat, naturally many people have signed up.
Under such circumstances, Cao Wei's army has now reached a very astonishing number, a number that was unimaginable before!
About 50 troops!
Such a total number of troops is an unmatched number, a shocking number.
The previous Cao Wei didn't dare to think that Cao Cao Cao Ang would have so many troops in his hands.
Among the 50 or so troops, Bentley with Shijiawan is the defense force. These troops are the troops needed to be able to defend the occupied city.
Because now Cao Wei has a lot of territory, so there are more troops that need to be deployed.
And for this defense, it is a must-have thing, because if there is no defense, there may be some troubles in so many cities in Cao Wei's hands.
...
Chapter 499
More importantly, in Liaodong, Liaoxi, Hexi Liangzhou, Yizhou, Wuhuan tribe, Southern Huns and other places, troops are needed to guard them.
In order to be able to win Soochow and Jingzhou, thus losing other defenses, such a situation is simply impossible for Cao Wei.
Therefore, the necessary defense is still very much needed.
Under such circumstances, the number of troops that can be used has decreased by 10,000+ in an instant, and the original army of about 50 is now only about 20 regular troops, and the [-] troops of the Cao Wei Navy. The rest is the number of troops in other aspects.
The active ones add up to 25 troops.
25 troops against [-] troops!
With such a huge disparity, each of their Dongwu Jingzhou troops needs to fight against two and a half people on average!
With such a huge advantage, as long as you don't make any fatal mistakes, you will definitely not lose.
In order to be able to implement such a situation more smoothly, Cao Ang then began to prepare strategic materials.
As the saying goes, if the troops and horses are not moving, the food and grass will go first.
Only when this fundamental guarantee is handled well, can this matter be implemented according to the plan that has been drawn up!
Under the leadership of Cao Ang, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Everything happens in a split second.
Of course, for such preparations, Cao Ang did not hide from Lu Su. Lu Su could see such a situation, and he could see it clearly.
In fact, such things are military secrets for Lu Su.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Lu Su to understand such a thing, and it would not let Lu Su hear the slightest sign of trouble.
However, such a situation did not shy away from Lu Su at all, and even Lu Su would explain to him the purpose of transporting grain and grass when asked. In such a situation, he was a little too confident.
Lu Su was an outsider no matter what, he was from Soochow, and now the two armies were preparing to fight, but such pre-war preparations did not guard against Lu Su?
Aren't you afraid that Lu Su will inform Soochow of this situation, and then let Soochow Jingzhou take precautions?
Everyone didn't quite understand, they didn't understand why Cao Ang could be so confident and not ignore Lu Su at all.
However, some people think that the reason why Prime Minister Cao Ang did not turn his back on Na Lu Su is because he is very confident in his heart, and Prime Minister Cao Ang is full of contempt and contempt for Soochow and Jingzhou!
This kind of thinking is actually partly correct, that is, Cao Ang is very confident now, and he is very confident in all his current useful strengths.
In Cao Ang's view, such a situation would have no impact on Cao Wei at all, or even the slightest impact.
This is self-confidence, extreme self-confidence!
He, Cao Ang, was not afraid at all that Lu Su knew how Cao Ang would deal with Soochow, and he was not even afraid of letting Lu Su pass on such news. In short, such a situation was not a problem for Cao Ang.
This kind of self-confidence is not something that everyone will have, let alone everyone who dares to do so.
Although other people did not dare to do this, Cao Ang dared to do so. Cao Ang was very confident in such a situation, so he dared to challenge Soochow and Jingzhou directly, and directly played famous cards with them!
Such a person who played out of common sense simply made the people in Jingzhou and Dongwu unprepared at all, let alone parrying at all.
overbearing!a!
In such a situation, Cao Ang is the only one in the world who dares to do this?
With the same power, if such a situation is handed over to Cao Cao, it is absolutely impossible for him to do this. Even if Lu Su sees all of this situation, what Lu Su sees will only be what he wants. Let Lu Su see, it does not mean that those confidential information will let Lu Su see.
Of course, the reason why Cao Ang is so confident is because he knows very well in his heart that even if Lu Su knows his deployment and his combat power, so what?
Although Lu Su knew the combat power of Cao Jun, did he know the power of the artillery?
Lu Su hadn't even seen the newest steam ship, the Holy King, yet!
What Lu Su saw was just the grain that could not fit in Cao Wei's granary. What he saw was Cao Wei's well-trained and powerful regular troops. At most, there were those steel and coal production, and those The output of other equipment is nothing more than that.
After seeing the tip of the iceberg like this, Lu Su's heart has already retreated. For such a situation, Lu Su is also very clear in his heart, very clear that there is no way this matter will be reversed. That's it.
Because, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for this situation to be reversed, so Soochow and Jingzhou are doomed.
Even if you know this situation, what can you do?
At most, it just added a lot of pressure to my heart.
……
After Cao Ang finished the official business, Lu Wen came over and said to the husband, "Husband, there is news from that pass that a group of Hu merchants has successfully arrived in Xudu!"
Cao Ang closed the official document in his hand, and then heard what Lu Wen said.
Cao Ang didn't care about what Lu Wen said, nor did he think too much about it. "Hu merchant? It seems to be a merchant from the Western Regions. In Liangzhou, Hexi, Bai Zhaoyun, the governor of Liangzhou, has arranged very well. After the stability, the business will naturally recover. It is not a big surprise that this Hu merchant appears. thing!"
Yes, after Zhao Yun occupied that Liangzhou, the court directly awarded Zhao Yun the governor of Liangzhou.
After Cao Ang heard about the Hu merchant, he thought it was a Hu merchant coming from Liangzhou, so he didn't feel any accident happened.
Who knows, after Cao Ang finished speaking, Lu Wen who was standing aside then shook her head and said, "The one who came to Xudu is not the Hu merchant from the Western Regions!"
"They look very strange, but they can speak the Central Plains dialect, and there are some personal letters in their hands. Listening to what they say, they seem to be people from farther and farther west!"
After hearing what Lu Wen said, Cao Ang also felt a little puzzled in his heart, and then he was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Huh? Farther away, further west? Where is the letter of introduction?"
Such a situation made Cao Ang a little puzzled. Where would it be in the far west of Liangzhou?
