Chapter 622: Before Sending Troops

Since Liu Cheng agreed to Pang Tong, it is impossible for Liu Yi to be cheeky and detain people, how to put the relationship aside first, this involves a credibility issue, since he agreed, then he has to implement it, this is also a concept that Liu Yi has instilled since he was a child, and there is no reason to go against this concept at this time.

As for leaving Jiang Wei...... In addition to exporting gas, it is also to avoid Pang Tong's partiality, after all, they are all handsome talents, leaving only Liu Cheng alone, it is easier to shine, if Jiang Wei and Liu Cheng get together, then in the end it will be a double day competition, there will definitely be internal friction, put yourself here, naturally there will not be so many problems.

In the room of hospitality, the furnishings are not gorgeous, but they look very stylish, Pang Tong came here, naturally not only for Liu Cheng's matter, how to send troops to the court meeting tomorrow, Pang Tong came here, mainly to communicate with Liu Yi about how to send troops, 300,000 troops to go out, how to get the maximum results as soon as possible, this is a problem that the two coaches must consider.

"Although Cao Wei has a wide area now, it can be roughly separated by the Yellow River." Pang Tong pointed to the map and said: "I plan to divide my troops and horses into two roads, Zixin led an army from Nanyang to attack Runan and Yingchuan, and I led another army to take the waterway to Dongling Pavilion, and since then I have landed on the shore, attacked Xuzhou and then echoed with Zixin!" ”

"You want to lure Soochow into sending troops?" Looking at the map, Liu Yi's eyes flashed, looked at Pang Tong and smiled: "Appetite is too big, right?" Beware of self-defeating! ”

"But there is this intention, if Dongwu comes to cut off my back road, then Chen Zhi and Wen Ping can lead the army to attack Jiangdong, and the world can be decided in a war!" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi with a smile and did not deny it.

"Lu Xun's talent is no less than yours, if this battle can destroy Cao Wei, Eastern Wu will surrender, why take such a risk?" Liu Yi frowned and said, "Do you still remember the defeat of Chibi back then?" Yun Chang was also defeated by Wu Jun! ”

"Even if I don't use this plan, Bo Yuan thinks that Dongwu will sit back and watch my dynasty destroy Cao Wei?" Pang Tong sneered: "Sun Quan has been building warships and operating sailors all these years, so what is going on, Bo Yuan should be clear. ”

Liu Yi nodded, although Sun Quan has been a lot more honest over the years, he has been consolidating the Dongwu defense line, and building more warships, what are the plans, there is no need to say more.

"Although Lu Xun is good, but Dongwu is too small, how can today's Dongwu still have the ability to compete with big powers?" Pang Tong smiled.

Although the Eastern Wu held the last Danyang, Wu County and Huiji, but lost most of the territory, although the battle won Guan Yu, but the Eastern Wu was also beaten and it was difficult to fight against the Han and Cao Wei.

"Even so, I still think that Cao Wei will be taken first, and then Dongwu will be collected." Liu Yi shook his head, he didn't deny Pang Tong, but his personality has always sought stability, if Cao Wei is destroyed, then it is a matter of time before Jiangdong surrenders.

"Don't talk about this, if you are handsome, have you ever thought about how to send troops?" Pang Tong shook his head, he didn't want to discuss this issue with Liu Yi anymore, he was completely sure of his strategy.

"Go down to Hanoi first, and then divide a partial division to attack Hedong, attack and annex the state, I will lead the main force to take Yecheng directly, as long as Yecheng is captured, it is the royal family of the Wei Dynasty to escape, for the Wei Dynasty, morale has been dispersed, the hearts of the people have been lost, and the land of Jizhou and Youzhou is easy to get." Liu Yi looked at the map and smiled.

His strategy is to cut through the chaos with a quick knife and directly seek a decisive battle with Cao Wei, as long as the decisive victory is won, then the next step will be to attack the river with a sweeping momentum. The Land of the North.

Of course, it's easy to say, it's not easy to do, this battle Liu Yi's troops are about 160,000, plus Pang De's Yunzhou army can be mobilized when necessary, and Jizhou, as the core of Cao Wei, must be heavily guarded, what will it be like to really fight when the time comes, who is against it, no one can say clearly, Liu Yi still feels that it is safer to combine forces in one place.

"Decent!" Pang Tong groped his chin and gave his own comment, Liu Yi's strategy will not be too bad, but it will never be amazing.

"This is a war, do you think you write an article? My special mother also has to take care of the rear, it's really full of flowers, who can control it? Liu Yi looked at Pang Tongyi a little speechlessly, the most important thing is stability, the Han is not short of food now, and he can afford to consume it with Cao Wei, this is a battle that determines the fate of the world, with so many bells and whistles, if the boat capsizes in the gutter, the reputation of that life will be ruined.

Liu Yi still cares about the reputation of the victorious general, and he doesn't want to make any trouble in his last battle.

I'll just fight like this, if you have an opinion, you can change people, anyway, it's impossible to have a clever plan, and it's not his style.

Pang Tong stayed on Liu Yi's side until the evening, although he had not officially issued an edict, but in fact, it was already a sure thing for the two of them to go out to take command.

Compared with sending troops to attack Wei, Liu Cheng's marriage is a bit insignificant, and even in order to cooperate with the troops, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun did not choose to make a big deal.

Of course, the links that should be there cannot be saved, Zhao Yun's daughter Liu Yi has also seen it, her father and mother are both handsome guys and beauties, and her daughter is naturally not too bad, and she is very educated, anyway, Liu Yi is very satisfied.

There is no need to repeat the newlywed, when Liu Cheng came to ask for peace the next day, Liu Yi could clearly feel that his cold son had a little more human touch, and there were more smiles on his face, and he could even joke with Liu Yi.

On the first day of the first month of the second year of Yanxi (239 AD), Sima Yi, the imperial lieutenant of Wei, returned to the dynasty, and before returning home, he was summoned by Cao Rui and co-made Cao Shuang as an auxiliary minister, and on the same day, Cao Rui died of illness in the palace at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

The new emperor Cao Fang is Cao Rui's adopted son, his biological father is unknown, but he should be a relative of the Cao family, otherwise it is impossible to inherit Cao Wei's foundation, Cao Rui had three sons and two adopted sons before his death, but except for Cao Fang, all died early, and now only Cao Fang is qualified to succeed to the throne.

As for this new emperor of the Wei Dynasty...... Eight-year-old children, younger than Liu Xuan, don't expect much ability, but this time, Cao Wei's political situation is surprisingly stable, the Han Dynasty has frequently transferred troops during this time, even if it is deliberately concealed, how can Cao Wei not be aware of it, so now the entire Wei Dynasty is preparing to meet the possible attack of the Han Dynasty, the general Cao Shuang led the army to defend Xuchang, and Cao Wei's troops also began to move eastward during this time, and at the same time sent people to Dongwu to seek cooperation.

Twenty years ago, Eastern Wu and the Han Dynasty joined forces to fight against the Wei Dynasty, but now, the situation is reversed, Wu and Wei united, to fight against the Han Dynasty, this is not the first time that the two sides have joined forces, but this time, Sun Quan is much more cautious, and did not rashly agree, after all, no matter which side wins, Eastern Wu can not see hope, the best result is actually the Han and Wei two families are both defeated, and Eastern Wu has the opportunity to go north.

At the same time, on the side of the Han Dynasty, these days have been discussing the matter of destroying Wei, basically, Liu Yi and Pang Tong are not controversial as marshals of the two roads, Pang Tong needless to say, back then, the dragon and phoenix chicks could win the world, and over the years, Pang Tong's ability to show in the military is enough to convince the public.

As for Liu Yi...... The most important thing is to seek stability, after all, Liu Yi is in charge, the result can be seen, don't expect Liu Yi to have a stunning performance, and the cost is definitely greater than Pang Tong, but at least you can guarantee that you will not lose.

The 300,000 army is the strongest lineup since the founding of the Han Dynasty, but no one dares to say that it will win this kind of thing, so Liu Yi is the bottom line of this dispatch, Pang Tong's side can win naturally, if something goes wrong, Liu Yi's side can at least go to the bottom and not lose too badly.

Moreover, with the military strength and equipment of the Han Dynasty today, it is difficult to lose too badly.

In terms of lineup, Liu Yi has veterans Wei Yan, Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei, and in addition to the three, they are a group of generals trained by the Han over the years.

Under Pang Tong's account, there are dozens of generals such as Liu Cheng, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Guang, Wu Ban, Liao Hua, Zhang Yi, Huo Ge, etc., most of whom are veterans, as well as Wenpin and Chen Zhi.

Obviously, the main attack method of the Han this time in the Central Plains, for the Central Plains, the general lineup is much stronger than Liu Yi's side, Liu Yi's side is out of Wei Yan, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and only the fierce general E Huan and Ma Chao's son Ma Qiu, who were subdued in Yunnan that year, Pang De's son Pang Hui is relatively good, and the rest are all some fresh faces, most of them are the children of the clan sent by the prince Liu Xuan and others or close generals, and there are many people, but in terms of quality, Liu Yi has a feeling that he wants to exchange with Pang Tong.

"Sikong, this is too much, isn't it?" Wei Yan sat beside Liu Yi, looked at these lists, and said with some tears and laughter: "Isn't this Hao Li the son of that Hao Zheng?" What's the use of him here? ”

Liu Yi groped his chin, looking at this lineup, he knew that the big man actually didn't have any idea about Jizhou this time, taking the Central Plains, and Bingzhou should be the main force, as for these people under Liu Yi's account, most of them came to mix up the merits, and at the same time attract the main force of the Wei army to cover for Pang Tong!

"Where?" Liu Yi closed the bamboo slip, handed it to Zhuge Qiao on the side and said with a smile: "Fighting a war depends not only on the ability of the generals, but also on cooperation, and we can win the battle again, but what I am more concerned about now is whether these people can be obedient and forbidden!" ”

In these years, the army went out to fight, and there was no advanced communication equipment, so the discipline requirements for the army were actually very high, and these generals were the mouthpieces of the army.

"It's hard to say." Wei Yan sighed, shook his head and said: "Many of them are Chang'an, Sikong has been absent for a long time, I don't know, these boys are skinny, I look at it with heavy hands." ”

"If necessary, you have to go, let's go and see our generals first, how difficult it is to bring them, you go and inform them, assemble tomorrow, and those who are late will not be used." Liu Yi said.

"Whoa!"
