In the golden hall, there was a sudden silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on the person in front of the hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's Cheng Yu.

Since the battle for the Central Plains, Cheng Yu was defeated by the potters again and again because of repeated failures, and was finally driven out of the Central Plains and fled to Qin, Cheng Yu deeply blamed himself, and has been low-key for many years, and has not dared to give Cao Cao advice for a long time.

But he didn't want to, when the Wei army attacked Qin in the past, Cheng Yu would stand up again and speak out and offer advice to Cao Cao.

Moreover, it is still unconventional and wants Cao Cao to strike first.

"Go on." Cao Cao waved his hand at him, there was no complaint in his eyes like in his early years, obviously after so long, Cao Cao no longer minded the failure of Cheng Yu's plan back then.

Cheng Yu cleared his throat and said loudly: "After the pottery thief destroyed Shu, the national strength has risen unprecedentedly, and our army can only hold on, and it is bound to be in a situation of being passively beaten. Over the years, Yuan Shang, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and Liu Zhang, they have all been passive defenses in the face of the attack of the pottery thief, but in the end, did they prevent it again? ”

A few words woke up Cao Cao and made him suddenly realize something.

Cheng Yu continued: "Liu Biao and Sun Ce have the benefits of the Yangtze River, Yuan Shang has the danger of Taihang Mountain, Liu Zhang's Yizhou is even more mountains and rivers, and there are natural dangers of the mountains of Shu, if you talk about the danger of Xiongguan, they are not inferior to my Daqin, and the strength of the pottery thief is not strong to the point where it is now, but in the end, they were all defeated by the pottery thief without exception, and they ended up in the point of death and national destruction, why is this?" ”

In the main hall, the ministers of the Qin State began to nod slightly, thoughtfully.

"What does Zhong De think is the reason?" Cao Cao straightened his figure, with a deferential driving posture.

Cheng Yu said loudly: "The minister thinks that the reason why they are defeated is because they only know how to defend passively in the face of the attack of the pottery thief, and give the initiative to the pottery thief, and the pottery thief is extremely treacherous, and can always find out the flaws in their defense. ”

After these words were spoken, a low voice began to sound in the hall, and the discussions of the ministers of the Qin State were obviously all attached to the statements of Yu Yu.

Cao Cao also nodded slightly, and asked, "What Zhongde said is indeed to the point, so according to what you mean, what kind of preemptive method do I want?" ”

Cheng Yu walked to the map hanging on the side wall, raised his hand and gestured: "Your Majesty, please look at the map, if the pottery thieves want to invade my Great Qin, they will definitely use the main force to go west to the Guguan, pass through Hongnong County, and approach the front of Tongguan City, so this Tongguan is the main battlefield of this war." ”

As soon as the conversation changed, Cheng Yu continued: "Although Tongguan is dangerous, it is too close to my capital Chang'an, once this pass is lost, the consequences are unimaginable." Moreover, once the pottery merchant army is calmly in front of the city of Lintong Pass, our army will have no room for maneuver, and can only gather the main force in Tongguan, and fall into passivity, so ......"

Cheng Yu moved his finger and pointed at the east of Tongguan, "The minister thinks that instead of passive defense, it is better for our army to strike first, and the army will quickly go east out of Tongguan, take advantage of the pottery thief's unpreparedness, take Hongnong County in one fell swoop, and move our army's defense line to the east." ”

Cheng Yu's words aroused Cao Cao's great interest, Teng jumped up from the dragon seat, took a few steps down, came to the map, and pondered carefully.

Cheng Yu continued to analyze: "Hongnong County is narrow, and each city is conducive to defense, so we can send a good general to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to camp in the easternmost Huangchi City to resist the attack of the Wei army from the direction of Hangu Pass, as for Your Majesty's ......."

Cheng Yu moved his finger to the Pubanjin line again, "You can lead the main army to enter the Pubanjin line, and at the same time you can send another army, from Shaanxi County west of Huangchi, cross the Yellow River in the north, and attack Hedong from the south. ”

Cao Cao's eyes immediately ignited with excitement, and his eyes swept around the map, weighing Cheng Yu's plan.

After a while, Cao Cao nodded deeply, his eyes swept to Guo Jia and the others, and asked, "Zhongde's plan, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia coughed for a while, and also nodded and said: "Zhongde's plan, if it can be successful, it is indeed possible to turn the active into passive, and if Liu Bei can attack from Youzhou to the north of Bingzhou, he can attack from the north and south and take the United State." Once the annexed states are captured, our Qin and Han countries will become one, and at that time, the situation will be very different. ”

Even Guo Jia was in favor of a preemptive strike, and Cao Cao's face was even more confident.

At this time, Tian Feng was worried: "Having said that, the terrain of Hongnong Zhucheng is dangerous, and it may not be so easy for our army to succeed in a surprise attack. ”

The voice fell, but Cheng Yu said confidently: "The minister has investigated in advance, most of the pottery merchants' troops in Sizhou are stationed on the front line of Luoyang Hangu Pass, and Hongnong's army is only more than 5,000 people, which proves that the pottery thief expected us to take a defensive position, and he didn't expect us to attack at all, just to catch him off guard." ”

Cheng Yu's words dispelled Cao Cao's last doubts, and only resoluteness remained on his scorched face.

He took a few steps back to the dragon seat, waved his big hand, and shouted: "I have made up my mind, this time we must not repeat the mistakes of Liu Zhang's kings, this king must preemptively take Hongnong, turn passive into active, who is willing to take this important responsibility for me." ”

Cao Cao's gaze fell on the generals in front of the hall.

As soon as the words fell, the general Le Jin stood up and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Chen Le Jin is willing to lead the army out of the customs and capture Hongnong for Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that Le Jin asked for battle, Cao Cao was secretly happy in his heart, he knew that Le Jin was the best at attacking cities, and he was the best candidate to lead the army to attack Hongnong.

Cao Cao immediately took a few shots, and said happily: "Okay, I will give you 20,000 horses, and after the emergency attack on Hongnong is successful, the soldiers and horses will go straight to Huangchi, and be sure to block the army of pottery thieves under Huangchi City." ”

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." Le Jin took the order.

Determined the general of the surprise attack, Cao Cao felt that he only relied on Le Jin alone, if there was no strategist to assist, he was afraid that the potters would lead the army to attack, and he might not be an opponent.

"Which advisor would like to go with General Le to Huangchi and assist him in defending the city?" Cao Cao's gaze shot to Wen Chen on the other side.

But the strategists bowed their heads and did not squeak, and no one wanted to stand up.

After all, once the potter's army marched westward, the city of Huangchi was bound to be besieged by the Wei army and turned into a lonely city, in order to drag the main force of the Wei army outside the city, there is still a great risk, in case there is a slight difference, once the city is broken, fall under the hands of the potter, no one dares to guarantee how miserable the outcome will be.

The strategists have always been smart people, they can give advice to Cao Cao, but they are not willing to sacrifice their lives for Cao Cao like Le Jin.

In silence, Cheng Yu stood up again and said angrily: "Since this strategy is offered by the minister, it is natural that the minister should assist General Le." ”

Seeing Cheng Yu come out, Cao Cao was relieved, and couldn't help but smile with relief, and the resentment he had towards Cheng Yu was also dissipated at this time.

So, Cao Cao sent Le Jin and Cheng Yu to lead 20,000 elite soldiers out of the customs overnight and went straight to Hongnong.

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the rear of Lejin, Cao Cao sent the newly surrendered veteran Yan Yan, who led 5,000 elite soldiers to follow out of the pass, and stationed in Shaanxi County, west of Huangchi, on the one hand, to protect the side of Huangchi, on the other hand, to prepare for the follow-up army, crossing the Yellow River from the ferry north of Shaanxi County, and attacking Hedong County.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan and Li Yan to be generals, and Tian Feng to be his advisers, leading more than 10,000 iron cavalry to the front line of Chencang, preparing to deal with the attack of the pottery merchants from the direction of Hanzhong.

At the same time, Cao Cao ordered Cao Xiu, a young general of the clan, to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to guard Wuguan to prevent the Jiewei army from attacking Wuguan from Nanyang.

In addition, Cao Cao also ordered Xiahoudun to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to sit in Chang'an with Xun Yu, and ordered Cao Zhen to lead 8,000 troops to guard Tongguan to meet Hongnong's army.

Cao Cao himself, then gathered nearly 70,000 Qiang Qin cavalry, went north to Pubanjin, Yan Liang, Ma Chao, Pang De, Xu Huang, Zhang Ren, Wang Ping, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and many other generals, all set out to attack, ready to capture Hedong County.

……

Yejing.

It was late autumn and the weather was getting cooler.

In the Shuangbi Palace, it is like summer, but it is raining in spring.

In the dormitory, there was a heavy wheezing sound like a potter's tiger wolf, and from time to time there were a few coquettish gasps of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

The palace maids standing outside the palace all blushed, pursed their lips and smiled, and from time to time peeked at the brocade couch through the bead curtain, and their little faces instantly blushed to the point that their faces were red and their ears were red, and their hearts were pounding.

On the brocade couch, it is naturally their Majesty the Son of Heaven, who is upside down with the two brides, and Wushan is full of clouds and rain, enjoying the joy of rain.

The palace maids are all sighing in their hearts, the Son of Heaven is really Longwei, energetic, last night with the two brides tossed for a night, this morning just opened their eyes, then tossed again, and a toss is more than an hour, I don't know if the two brides can stand it.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... The concubine is really physically exhausted, and she has no strength, Your Majesty pity and pity the concubine......" In the bead curtain, Xiao Qiaojiao's pleading voice finally came out.

Immediately afterwards, Da Qiao also begged in a coquettish voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't even eaten breakfast in the morning, where does she have the strength to serve Your Majesty, why don't we rest for the time being, wait for the concubine to eat something, and have a little physical strength, so that Your Majesty can enjoy yourself." ”

After the pleading, in the dormitory, there was a earth-shaking tiger roaring dragon roar, and the clouds and rain gradually subsided, and gradually regained calm.

The palace maids outside the hall also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the inside was over, and hurriedly sent in the breakfast that had been prepared long ago.

The potter, who was full of red light, also relied on the stay, so he simply sat on this couch, hugged Xiao Qiao on the left and Da Qiao on the right, eating breakfast while saying some flirtatious words.

In the bead curtain, from time to time, there were shy laughter of the big and small Qiao sisters, as well as coquettish complaints.

Just when the potter was enjoying a rare and wonderful time, a palace maid outside hurriedly entered and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Lord Su Qinsu has arrived, and it is said that there are 100,000 urgent military situations to ask to see Your Majesty immediately!" ”
