Chapter 690

"Although he is steady, the successive victories will likely affect his judgment ability to some extent."

"In this way, once he underestimates the enemy, the distance to collapse will not be far."

After listening to Sima Yi's explanation.

Cao Cao, Seeing Xun Yu, and Sima Fang understood a lot in their hearts.

Actually, Sima Yi's strategy is also very easy to understand.

It is mainly to utilize the "psychology of underestimating the enemy."

This is also one of the important tactics for Sima Yi in fighting wars.

Looking at the numerous battle records of Sima Yi in original history.

More than 80 percent of them adopted this psychology of underestimating the enemy, letting the enemy be quickly defeated without knowing it!

It is just a pity.

If this psychology of underestimating the enemy is encountered by someone who is cautious by nature, it will lose its original effect.

For example, Zhuge Liang.

In the battle of confrontation with Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang clearly had the upper hand.

According to historical records, during the Battle of Lucheng, Zhuge Liang even used Sima Yi against himself, achieving the record of "beheading three thousand armored heads of the Wei army."

Of course.

Besides Zhuge Liang.

In the late Three Kingdoms period of original history.

Sima Yi could almost be said to be invincible.

Including Lu Xun, in the confrontation with Sima Yi, he actually did not gain any upper hand either.

Even, he lost more than two thousand troops.

Meng Da and Gongsun Yuan, these two do not even need to be mentioned.

This guy Meng Da was finished off by Sima Yi using the "ancient version of blitzkrieg" with lightning speed.

Gongsun Yuan, on the other hand, was too arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

He thought that in winter, the thick white snow in the Liaodong region could help him block the enemy's attack.

But he did not expect.

This guy Sima Yi did not care about the lives of soldiers at all.

He forcibly sent his soldiers to besiege the city in the cold winter.

In the end, he solved Gongsun Yuan.

However.

Nowadays, the fledgling Sima Yi is far from being as calculating as in original history.

His strategy has a certain degree of feasibility.

But for an enemy of Gu Yi's level, it is obviously still not enough.

Therefore, Cao Cao and Seeing Xun Yu further perfected the strategy proposed by Sima Yi.

As the external environment and situation have progressed to this step, Cao Cao actually cannot be sure in his heart whether he can defeat Gu Yi.

If he cannot defeat Gu Yi, what ending will he face?

It seems... it could have been predicted long ago.

Therefore.

Whatever means there are, use them now.

If one should forcibly conscript soldiers, then just forcibly conscript them.

One cannot wait until one's own forehead has already been hung on the city wall by Gu Yi to regret it, right?

One must know that in this world, there is simply no such thing as a regret pill!

……

After thinking it over, Cao Cao still decided to pull Yuan Shao along.

Having lost Ju Shou and the Jizhou aristocratic families, Yuan Shao has now finally become a lord who does not need to worry about the infighting of factions under his command all day long.

But corresponding to this.

Is that Yuan Shao needs to do everything himself.

This is just like after Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system.

Everything needs to be done by himself.

Of course, Yuan Shao's current power cannot be compared to Zhu Yuanzhang at all.

But there is no doubt that he is very tired every day.

He is worried, afraid that Gu Yi will suddenly launch an attack on Bohai.

At the same time, he is also worried about internal chaos.

After all.

Yuan Shao's current territory only consists of Bohai Commandery, Qinghe Commandery, and the seven commanderies of Youzhou.

A territory of nine commanderies in total.

Among these, Longcou must be excluded.

Longcou is the territory borrowed and occupied by the pseudo-emperor Liu He.

Nominally, it does not belong to Yuan Shao.

Moreover, Liu He is an adult.

Although he is also a puppet, he still has some real power in his hands to some extent.

With real power, there will be some ideas of his own.

Therefore.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and others will also show a certain degree of respect to this pseudo-emperor Liu He on the surface.

In this way, they prove that the two of them are still subjects of the Han house.
