Chapter 302: Liu Ye
In Luoyang, in the early morning of the 6th, Liu Ye once again crossed Jiang Ji and Dong Zhao and offered a strategy to Cao Pi.
It's not that Jiang Ji and Dong Zhao are incompetent, but that Tian Xin is surprisingly soldiered.
It is the basic principle of the art of war to avoid the truth and make up for the false, but Tian Xin is fighting against the water, relying on the high morale of the Beifu soldiers, and suddenly appeared in front of the Shaoling Su Ze army across the Yunxian defense area, and he will definitely be caught off guard by Su Ze.
Whether Su Ze can hold Shaoling has little to do with Su Ze's ability, mainly because the quality of the Yanzhou Army is not good. Unless Su Ze has a high prestige similar to Tian Xin's Beifu soldiers in the Yanzhou Army, he must also have a force that is not inferior to Tian Xin.
Otherwise, no matter how high the prestige is, it will be useless to be attacked by Tian Xin when he engages in battle.
With Tian Xin's current status and meritorious service, there is no need to put himself in danger. As long as he stays up for time, after Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Ji Han's military power in the Jingzhou region will all fall into the hands of Tian Xin.
But Tian Xin still took a risk, which was a move that Cao Pi and the Secretary of Wei expected.
Ma Chao marched along the Huaishui in Yuzhou, and Tian Xin echoed each other in the north, if they chiseled through the Yanyu Division to the east together, then the hometown of the Qian Pei people was kicked by the Han army, and the families of the middle and high-level military officials of the Wei army would fall into the hands of the Han army, which was a very fatal thing.
When the news spreads further to the periphery, the entire Wei army will fall into a state of panic.
Therefore, Jiang Ji proposed to intercept Tian Xin and block Tian Xin, Ma Chao would not dare to march alone; Dong Zhao retorted that only a field battle could intercept Tian Xin, but the Wei army did not have the conditions to fight Tian Xin at present.
Unless Cao Zhen and Cao Zhang's army arrive, or even Wu Zhen leads the Youzhou border army south to participate in the war...... This takes time, and it takes half a month for the Guanzhong Corps to move to the Central Plains to participate in the war; It will take a month for Wu Zhi.
In a month's time, Tian Xin was enough to tear Yanyu Qingxu apart and no longer belong to the Great Wei court.
Jiang Ji spoke on behalf of the middle and high-level military officials of the Wei army to block Tian Xin...... Even if you can't beat Tian Xin, you have to stop it, and you can't watch your family fall into the hands of the Han army.
Dong Zhao only considered the situation, simply opposed Jiang Ji's adventurous proposal, and had no specific and reliable way to crack Tian Xin's surprise offensive.
Cao Pi was very reluctant, so he could only ask Liu Ye to come up with ideas.
If you don't invite Liu Ye, you can only go to Jia Xu, Jia Xu can't stand on crutches now, and he goes to the door to ask for advice on the rise and fall of such a country...... Cao Pi also wants face.
But Liu Ye is the clan of the Han Dynasty after all, and Liu Ye is very unhappy because of the purge of Liu Xun and his party.
Liu Xun is Liu Xun, the Lujiang County Guard under Yuan Shu, and is Cao Cao's old friend.
At that time, Deng Bao, the two Huai heroes, coerced Liu Ye and tried to take the people of the two Huai to Jiangdong to grab land with Sun Ce, Liu Ye personally assassinated Deng Bao and persuaded Deng Bao to perform thousands of steps.
Liu Ye handed over these thousands of people to Liu Xun, and he did not touch the military power; Liu Xun expelled Yuan and then had a strong army, and did not listen to Liu Ye's advice, and attacked Shangyi City under Sun Ce's flattery and lure, Sun Ceguo attacked Liu Xun's back road as Liu Ye expected, and Liu Xun took the clan and Liu Ye to rely on Cao Cao after the defeat.
As one of the princes attached to the Xudu court and an old friend of Cao Cao, Liu Xun has a high status, and Liu Xun is in the forefront of Cao Cao's persuasion.
In order to maintain local stability, the post of assassin of Yuzhou was held by Liu Xun's brother for a long time, and later his father and son were succeeded by Liu Xun's nephew Liu Wei. In the repeated purge waves in Jian'an over the past 20 years, Liu Xun and Liu Wei were purged out and wiped out.
Liu Ye, who has never been contaminated with military power, is in a detached situation, and he was able to avoid rounds of storms against the old ministers and clans of the Han family.
And now, Liu Ye has a particularly subtle grasp and judgment of the situation, which makes the monarchs and ministers of Great Wei feel quite embarrassed.
Liu Ye also seemed embarrassed, as if in the face of the rapid offensive of the Han army, the ability of the monarchs and ministers of Wei was limited and restrained by various visible and invisible factors, and they could not be fully displayed.
In response to the current situation, Liu Ye brewed emotions and organized language inquiries: "Your Majesty, Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Yide gathered in Wankou and supported more than 100,000 troops, which can be described as strong. And Tian Xiaoxian's soldiers and horses were rampant in the Central Plains, only talking about disasters, which is bigger and which is smaller? ”
"Naturally, Tian Xiaoxian's soldiers are more serious, and they are invincible unless they are 100,000 people, but I don't have 100,000 people. When I have 100,000 people, this person will coerce the people of the Central Plains, and then the people of the 200,000 will not be peaceful. This person has become a trend, and the disaster will be in the long run. ”
Cao Pi also saw it clearly: "The soldiers of Liu and Guan are visible soldiers, which can be defended and defended, and Tian Xiaoxian is an invisible soldier, which is elusive." ”
Liu Ye saw that Cao Pi's thinking was clear and admitted that Tian Xin was very strong, and asked: "Your Majesty, where the use of soldiers should avoid the truth, the Han army is divided into three units, where is the truth?" Where is the void? ”
Cao Pi nodded slowly, picked up a small cup of lacquer and drank tea, and his mind was calm: "What Aiqing said is true, it is a soldier of Beifu." Could it be that after the Beifu soldiers penetrated deep into Qiupei, our army would gather heavy troops and fight Liu Bei to the death? ”
Thinking like this, there is also room for maneuver, if the decisive battle of Wankou defeats Liu Bei and Guan Yu, then pursue all the way to Nanyang and Xiangyang, and cut off the return route of the Beifu soldiers.
No matter how much fluctuation the Beifu soldiers caused in the Central Plains, it will gradually subside with the defeat of Liu Bei's main force.
After all, there are many mediocre people in the world, and in the eyes of mediocre people, Liu Bei and Guan Yu's subordinates are the reality of the Han army...... In fact, no, no matter how strong Liu Bei and Guan Yu's army is, the Great Wei has gathered 300,000 troops, which is enough to defeat them; And Tian Xin's 10,000 people, before the war, Zhang Liao dared to pat his chest and say that he could deal with it, but now only Cao Zhang dares to fight with Tian Xin.
Other generals, when facing Tian Xin, are congenitally weak and will take a defensive position; If you take a defensive position, it is not easy to lose, but the fighters who can defeat the Beifu soldiers are very slim.
For example, Xiahou Shang, such as Cao Xiu, in the face of Tian Xin's attack, it is already very good to be able to maintain a stable position, and they can't expect them to play surprising and unexpected results.
Zhang Liao, who took the initiative to counterattack, had already warned all the departments of the Wei army with practical actions.
Tian Xin is the reality of the Han army, so it is not easy to deal with, the more troops are mobilized to encircle and suppress Tian Xin, not only can Tian Xin be killed, but also will cause Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Ma Chao, the four legions to lose their clamp and get a stage to show.
Giving up Tian Xin and gathering the main force to fight Liu Bei for a decisive battle, whether it is to defeat Liu Bei's main force head-on, or to force Tian Xin to return to help, it is a good result.
Under the guidance of Liu Ye, Cao Pi's thinking gradually became clear, and he heard Liu Ye say: "Your Majesty must know that at that time, the most reluctant to see Liu Xuande's proud, Sun Quanye, the one who hated Tian Xiaoxian the most, Sun Quanye. ”
"In the past, when Liu Xuande took Yizhou and Hanzhong, Sun Quan betrayed the alliance and attacked the three eastern counties of Jingzhou, forcing Liu Xuande to return to the division of 50,000 people, with the intention of destroying Jiangdong. When it was, Emperor Feiwu conquered Hanzhong and forced Liu Xuande to look back and fight for Hanzhong, then Sun Liu and Erhu would die in the battle. ”
"After Liu Xuande exhausted the people of Yizhou to gain the empty city of Hanzhong, Guan Yunchang Xiangfan's battle was like the help of heaven, Sun Quan wrote to ask for surrender, and wanted to attack Guan Yu to serve the imperial court."
"After that, Your Majesty made a little trick and promised Hefei and Shouchun empty cities to make Sun Liu break up again and it would be difficult to reunite."
"Now that the Han army is proud, Sun Quan will be reluctant. The minister thought that now he should quickly mobilize the general of the south to raise troops to the north to avoid Tian Xiaoxian's U-turn attack. When the Wu army goes north again, our army will gather in Luoyang, which is enough to fight Liu Bei to the death. ”
Liu Ye looked at the map and concluded: "Tian Xiaoxian and Ma Chao are also deep, and the more dispersed their troops are, the more conducive it will be for the Wu army to cut off the Huai River in the west and the Ruying water system." At that time, our army will have a decisive battle with Liu Xuande, which may be able to achieve miraculous results. ”
Sun Quan will definitely return to his teacher to turn around and turn around to bad Tian Xin, and Liu Ye has this confidence.
Cao Pi nodded again and again, Sun Quan often behaves bizarrely, but when it comes to bad things for Liu Bei and Tian Xin, he will definitely spare no effort and will not consider the long-term future.
