Chapter 429: Strategic Adjustment

It is about 30 miles away from Linjing.

At this moment, more than 100,000 main forces of the Wei army gathered here, and the main general Cao Zhenhui and the generals stood tightly, staring at the defense lines built by their own side everywhere, their eyes were solemn, and their eyebrows were frowning.

"How can the Shu thief be so powerful? How could these defensive lines, which were already very well built by the generals, fall short in such a short period of time, and thus make our army's painstaking plan come to naught. ”

In a word.

Looking at Cao Zhen's worried face, it was obvious that he had already received the battle report that the Han army had broken out of the encirclement and recaptured Linjing.

After the words fell, the scout on one side bowed his hand and said: "General Cao." The Shu army was able to break through the four lines of defense so quickly this time and go down to Linjing, thanks to the power of the enemy general Zhao Yun......"

As he spoke, the scout, who was in charge of spying on the overall battle situation at any time, truthfully reported how Zhao Yun personally took the lead in the encirclement, killed the four generals, and then reported the situation of taking advantage of the situation to seize it with the momentum of covering his ears and thunder.

"Zhao Yun?"

"Why is this person again?"

Hearing this announcement, Cao Zhen couldn't help but have a headache, Zhao Yun was once famous for the battles of Dangyang Changsaka and Hanshui, and he was very familiar with them, and he followed Cao Cao in this World War II.

Therefore, he is naturally no stranger to Zhao Yun.

After a long groan, Cao Zhen's face was anxious, and he sighed bitterly: "Alas! Why don't I have such a peerless god general in Dawei? ”

I thought of Huang Zhong, a seventy-year-old veteran who was willing to use his body to protect the safety of his army a few days ago, and put the whole army cadres on his side, regardless of his own safety, and braved arrows and stones to rush into battle among the chaotic troops to lead the enemy general.

Cao Zhen couldn't help but be envious!

Although there are many good generals on their side, if they are inferior to Wu Yong, there are still many gaps.

The whole army was silent for a moment.

General Wei on one side suddenly showed a resolute look on his face, and he surrendered his hand to fight: "General Cao." The last general is willing to lead a group of troops to immediately rush to Linjing City to launch a fierce attack, retake the city and enter Longyou to fight the Shu thieves again and regain the lost territory,"

"I'll second!"

"Please also ask the general to give an order, we are willing to fight to the death with the Shu thieves."

A seat fell.

The rest of the generals also gave up their hands.

Merely.

Cao Zhen didn't speak for a long time, his eyes consciously glanced at the general Chen Tai beside him, Chen Tai immediately understood, knowing that this was a good opportunity for him to show in front of the generals, and then cast a grateful face, so he gave his hand and said:

"Generals, in Tai's humble opinion, for today's plan, our army should not continue to chase and give up, the Shu army has recaptured Linjing, which will inevitably strengthen the garrison here, this city is already as solid as a rock, if there are heavy troops to defend, the attacker will definitely suffer heavy losses!"

Speaking of this, he faced the generals, smiled slightly, and explained: "Even if the strong attack can finally capture the city, the gains outweigh the losses, and our army will be unable to advance west to Longyou again due to excessive losses, so how can we talk about a decisive battle?" ”

"Then I don't know what kind of plan Brother Chen Xian has?"

Hearing this, Chen Tai was stunned, looked at Cao Zhen, and looked at him with a smile that nodded affirmatively to himself, so he said lightly: "Tai does have some ideas, so I will discuss them with you." ”

"Tai thinks that since the main force of the Shu army has torn apart the encirclement of our army and safely withdrew to Longyou, it is not appropriate to make a big move now, and then Tai thinks that our army can build a defense along the line of Chencang and Jingshui, in case the Shu people suddenly attack again, and on the other hand, wait for the Son of Heaven to stabilize the court, vigorously develop the people's livelihood, and wait for several years of recuperation and recuperation, when the country is rich and the people are strong, the soldiers and horses are strong, and the military needs are sufficient, then go west and sweep the land of Xiliang and Bashu in one fell swoop, and destroy the Shu army!"

After a few words, General Wei was suspicious, and couldn't help but ask questions, saying: "Chen joined the army is too simple, our army wants to retreat and recuperate, but will the Shu people really give our army this opportunity?" ”

"Naturally not."

Chen Tai said confidently.

"That ......"

It's just that without waiting for these words to come out, a Xiliang scribe wearing a brocade robe and more than eight feet long on one side, and now Yang Fu, the assassin of Yongzhou, couldn't help waving his hand and explaining with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this matter, in Fu's humble opinion, this time the Shu people conquered Yongzhou and failed, and there is no possibility of committing it again in the next few years." ”

As soon as Yang Fu's words fell, he immediately attracted the attention of the generals, and then he looked around, looked at the puzzled faces of the people, and stroked his beard and said: "Fu has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and he is extremely familiar with and understands the geography and customs of the Xiliang counties. ”

"Originally, General Xiahou Tiger Buguan was so stable that Liangzhou was stable, and the vitality of the Zhudi people and Qiang tribes was greatly injured and they did not dare to act rashly, but since three years ago, our army once again fought with Shu General Guan Ping in Liangzhou, and the order that was finally established was disrupted, and Liangzhou also restored the situation of the warlords and Qiang people."

The words fell.

Yang Fu suddenly looked around at the generals and said slowly: "In such a situation, even if the Shu people have the three counties of Longyou, if you want to thoroughly digest the fruits of victory and transform Liangzhou into a stable rear, it is impossible to do it without several years of time to collect and operate." ”

"But in a few years, the strength of my Great Wei will also be unprecedentedly strong, and then it will no longer be the Shu people who invade the realm, but our army's army will sweep away the Shu army like a thunderbolt."

"Don't worry, armies!"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Fu was not worried at all, but waved his hand.

As soon as these words fell, Chen Tai thought about it for a while, as if he had a countermeasure, his face was suddenly filled with a smile, and he said in a deep voice: "Yang Thorn Shi is reasonable!" Now the Shu people have been out of the encirclement of our army, and then the fierce pursuit and strong attack, the situation will be unfavorable to our army, at this moment to take a defensive position to guard the passes everywhere to prevent Yongzhou is the right way. ”

"Then our army has mobilized the forbidden army of Beijing this time, if it has not made an inch, it may not be easy for Your Majesty to ask questions, right?"

As soon as the words fell, General Wei said with a worried face.

"It's okay!"

It's just that at this time, the main general Cao Zhen solemnly waved his hand, and then said: "Although it is impossible to encircle the main force of the Shu army this time, the Shu people's division of Wei Yan has already crossed the river into Jin, but at this time, because they have been restrained and besieged by our army, they have no way to cross the river to join their main force." ”

"That being the case, this general decided to mobilize all the departments to gather in Shangjun and Hedong, cooperate with the general to encircle and suppress the Shu army, and capture Wei Yan, this person is the general of the pseudo-thief Liu Bei's garrison in Hanzhong, if he can capture it, he will definitely be able to give a decisive blow to the Han army."

"Isn't this move a few points stronger than our army's energy to storm Linjing?"

After a few words, the corners of Cao Zhen's mouth rose, and he bluntly put forward the strategy he conceived.

"Annihilate Wei Yan's department?"

For a while, most of the generals had not come back to their senses, and they were all a little stunned when they followed Cao Zhen's train of thought.

They all didn't understand why they suddenly decided to attack Wei Yan's department.

"General Cao, do you want to ...... This time to annex Wei Yanbu in one fell swoop? ”

"Yes, yes."

When the words fell, Cao Zhen did not deny it, but confidently showed a meaningful smile.

The plan has been decided.

Then the next step is to deploy troops.

"Now the general has ordered that some of the soldiers sent by Guo Huai and Xiahou Nan will be deployed and patrolled along the Jingshui line, threatening the safety of Shangjun and Hedong from the flanks, so as to form close cooperation with the various departments under the command of the general, and infinitely squeeze the living space of the Wei Yan departments."

After this order, he ordered again: "Then order Zhang He's department to lead the people to the front line of Yuchencang as soon as possible, on the one hand, send troops to threaten the safety of Linjing's flanks, and on the other hand, deploy troops in Tianshui and stabilize the border to make a posture of a large-scale invasion, forcing the Shu army not to dare to send troops to meet the battle so as to meet Wei Yan." ”

"As for the rest of the troops, they all obeyed the orders of the general, led the main force to take Pubanjin directly, surrounded and annihilated the Shu army, and cut off the arm of the big-eared thief!"

Several orders were immediately issued in one go, and the scouts also received their respective military orders and immediately galloped away.
