Ma Han's death made Zhao Hao, who was a little depressed because of Liu Yan's incident, a little more determined and ruthless, and he decided to put aside all kinds of disturbances in Yizhou first and do his best to do a good job in front of him.

Eliminate Wei Wu and unify the world, such a powerful enemy fell in front of him, those ghost tricks were naturally not his opponents, he sent people to inform Wei Yan to send troops, and he sent the main force to mobilize a large amount of grain and grass to encircle Chang'an.

According to Ding Feng's words, there are no reinforcements in Chang'an now, and there is no sign of the Wei army fleeing - Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei, is in Chang'an, if he can be caught, it will be equivalent to directly kicking off the bloodline of Wei, and it is only a matter of time before Cao Wei is eliminated at that time.

Xiang Lang and Lu Yi, who have been fighting with Zhao Hao, are equivalent to the low-profile version of Liu Ye, and the two of them made suggestions together, but they solved a lot of trivial matters and problems in the march for Zhao Hao.

Xiang Lang suggested that Zhao Hao take advantage of the lack of reinforcements from the Wei army, first sweep the counties around Chang'an, occupy Bacheng, Wannian, Duxian and other places near Chang'an, and delay the support speed of the Wei reinforcements as much as possible.

Zhao Hao thought about it for a while and decided to accept Xiang Lang's proposal and let Wei Yan personally lead his troops to pull out the county towns around Chang'an.

Wei Yan's boss was not happy at this time, although he didn't dare to confront Zhao Hao head-on, he still muttered: "Champion Hou, my old Wei's sons came thousands of miles to fight Chang'an, you let us go to fight the surrounding small counties, it's too cheap for me to wait!" ”

Zhao Hao understood Wei Yan's mentality of being eager to make meritorious contributions, and seeing that Wei Yan's wrinkled face was full of unwillingness, he smiled and said: "Does Wei Taishou think that I deliberately left the battle record to my own people and used a little thing to entertain you." ”

"The last general will not dare."

Wei Yan said this, and the expression on his face clearly said that this was the case......

Although Chang'an is a famous city in the world, it is not a copper wall, and it will definitely lose its barrier soon under the offensive of the Han army's Xiangyang artillery, and the Wei army will be forced to fight a decisive battle with the Han army to have a chance of winning.

Wei Yan, who was aiming for the name of Qingshi, was very worried that if he divided his troops to fight elsewhere, Zhao Hao led the army to defeat Chang'an with a charge, and when others mentioned it thousands of years later, they only said how fierce Zhao Hao was, and did not mention him Wei Yan at all.

"Chang'an is not so easy to attack, even if I personally command, it will take four or five days to complete, this is still under the premise of completely isolating Chang'an and making it impossible for the Wei army in other places to support."

Wei Yan was still uncertain, saying that he was the best candidate for siege, and Lu Yi interjected: "Wei Taishou, who is the strongest enemy you have faced in your life?" ”

Wei Yan pondered for a while, and couldn't help but blush, and said in his heart that he thought very highly of himself in his life, but he really hadn't fought with any famous generals in the world.

He followed Liu Bei when he was in Jingzhou, and the battle into Sichuan fully demonstrated his bravery and command skills, and he was deeply valued by Liu Bei, but because the enemy was not a famous general in the world, his record has been questioned.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Yi said: "As far as I know, Cao Pi, the puppet emperor of Wei, is unwilling to give up Chang'an, and can't wait to send troops from all over the Central Plains to support.

Especially Xu Huang came the fastest, and it seems that he will arrive in Guanzhong soon.

Youzhou Iron Cavalry, unparalleled in the world, when Guangwu was able to become an emperor, if our army attacked Chang'an, Xu Huang suddenly killed from the side, it was really bad. ”

Wei Yan groaned: "That's right, Xu Huang is good at using soldiers, and his fame is shocking the world, it was he who smuggled from Puban and defeated Ma Chao, this person is very powerful." ”

"Therefore, the success or failure of the attack on Chang'an does not lie in whether it can directly break through the city, but whether it can destroy the Wei army that is constantly reinforcing around, General Wenchang, I can hand over the success or failure of our army to you!"

Zhao Hao flickered, Wei Yan immediately shook his whole body, and said loudly: "Since the champion Hou trusts, how dare Wei Yan not fight desperately and work hard?" With me here, I must not let Xu Huang get close to Chang'an - not only Xu Huang, but Zhang Liao, Lu Qian and others, I will also desperately keep them out of Tongguan! ”

"It's all up to General Wenchang!"

Zhao Hao is not completely fooling Wei Yan, Cao Pi is waiting for the battle, Zhong Xuan, Sima Yi, Jiang Ji, and Zhao Yan in the city are all elite talents who are good at fighting, even if they are bombarded with Xiangyang artillery, it is difficult to directly break through the huge Chang'an City.

What's more, Chang'an is huge, and it will have to go through a lot of street battles to kill it, Zhao Hao is neither willing to let the soldiers fill this important town with their lives, nor is he willing to wreak havoc and turn this ancient capital into a bloody ruin.

After all, after conquering Chang'an, it is necessary to take the return of the Son of Heaven, and it is impossible to use a ruined city to welcome civil and military officials.

With Cao Pi's temper, he will definitely not throw this fortified city and flee at will, and there is intelligence that the Wei army has mobilized all the main forces from all directions, ready to come to Chang'an for reinforcements, and the Han army will have a large-scale main force decisive battle.

These armies should be the last main force of the Wei state, as long as they are defeated, the Wei army will completely collapse, and after the Han army kills out of Tongguan, those wealthy families will lose the last resistance strength.

Therefore, Wei Yan's work is very important, and Zhao Hao even handed over the most important link to him.

This time to attack Chang'an, Zhao Hao not only did his main force, but his own family members were also dispatched, Cheng You was personally responsible for the intelligence work, she was more skilled and spicy than Lu Yusheng, and she was ruthless, without dragging her feet, and quickly sorted out a large amount of information, and Lu Yusheng was dumbfounded.

"There are three ways of reinforcements from the enemy, and the ones currently participating in the battle are Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Jia Kui, Man Chong, Lu Qian, and Wang Ling.

Jia Kui and Lu Qian made the fastest progress, but they were all Tuntian soldiers, and their combat effectiveness should not be as good as that of Xu Huang and Zhang Liao's troops. ”

Cheng You said quickly while drawing a line on the map: "The concubine thinks that Pubanjin and Tongguan must always be in our hands, and strictly prevent the enemy from entering the pass through this second line——

If you want to master Pubanjin, you must first master Feng Yi, otherwise the enemy will continue to attack, and it will be a hidden danger to us after all. ”

Lu Luan has been following Zhao Hao for a long time, and she has made a lot of progress, she carefully observed the map, and said: "The concubine thinks that it is not appropriate for me to divide the troops to attack Feng Yi again, and we should increase the defense in the west of Wannian and Wannian, and slowly deal with the enemy." ”

Cheng You doesn't know much about tactics, but she is the most self-aware and knows that it is really not suitable to argue with others in areas that she is not good at.

She tilted her head, waiting for Lu Luan's explanation, but Lu Luan didn't say much, blinking her eyes to see Zhao Hao's reaction.

Lu Luan has been quite infected with Zhao Hao's greed over the years, and it is always better to destroy the enemy's living combat power than to defeat them, Zhao Hao also thinks so,

But he thought about it carefully, if he wanted to besiege the city and destroy Cao Pi, he already needed the main force to do his best, and if he divided his troops to destroy the main reinforcements of the enemy's main force, he was afraid that the lack of greed would break his stomach.

What to do......

"Hurry up and write a letter and send the opinions of the General Staff to Mr. Ziyang for review."

In order to facilitate contact with Zhao Hao, Liu Ye also moved his office to Shangti, Zhao Hao sent people to contact Liu Ye while commanding the troops to quickly sweep the various towns around Chang'an.

The progress of the main force of the Han army has far exceeded the imagination of the Wei army, and the continuous bad news has made the Wei army generals in Chang'an City feel a little numb.

Especially Cao Ren's death, which made Chang'an City feel a storm and storm, if it weren't for the emperor himself stationed, and the old ministers like Zhong Xuan, who won the hearts of the people, followed, I am afraid that Chang'an would have turned against him now and became Zhao Hao's hand.

Cao Zhen Cao Ren's successive bad news made Cao Pi already in a trance, he locked himself in the palace and refused to come out, and handed over Hu Ben and Yulin to Sima Yi's command.

Sima Yi is rare to take on heavy responsibilities, naturally ambitious, he was not bothered by Cao Zhen and Cao Ren's continuous deaths, seeing that the Han army was gathering more and more, he actually led the Tiger Ben army out of the city to challenge,

Ding Feng had never seen such a rampant enemy, so he immediately led his army to attack, and in the fierce battle with Sima Yi, the Yulin army, which had been ambushed for a long time, suddenly attacked, and really caught Ding Feng off guard, so that Ding Feng's troops tasted defeat for the first time since the attack.

Annoyed and angry, Ding Feng was naturally unwilling to let Sima Yi go, and after a short rest, he chose to attack Chang'an from all sides, but this time the Wei army chose to hold out under the command of Sima Yi, and only when Ding Feng was ready to withdraw did he open the city gate and come out to wave his flag and shout and make a noise.

Although neither side paid too many casualties, it really allowed the Wei army to regain its long-lost morale and hope of victory.

Sima Yi said in his heart, as long as he relied on the hard defense of Chang'an Jiancheng and waited for reinforcements to arrive, maybe there was a chance to block the advance of the Han army.

After repelling Ding Feng's attack again, Sima Yi rushed to report to Cao Pi about his recent achievements, and what Cao Pi needed most was news of victory.

After listening to Sima Yi's narration with a sluggish expression, his body, which seemed to have been drained of blood, gradually came back to life, and asked with a glaring eye, "What you said is true?" ”

Sima Yi said dumbly: "Naturally, it's true, Ding Feng is by no means the opponent of the minister." ”

"I'm asking you, once the reinforcements arrive, are you sure that you will defeat Shu Kou?"

"Uh," Sima Yi almost drowned himself with a mouthful of saliva, he wanted to tell Cao Pi that you heard me say this with that ear, but seeing Cao Pi's pale face, he actually nodded in disgust.

After a few days of not seeing, Cao Pi's face has turned pale like a vampire, he used to be elegant and clean, he exudes a strong smell of wine, and his red eyes are full of hideous bloodshots, which makes people shudder.

He has been longing for victory for too long, longing for him to deceive the news of victory now, in addition to ecstasy, he hopes that the victory will continue to expand, so that he can punish those thieves and return himself to the supreme position.

"Zhongda, it's all handed over to you, everyone in Chang'an City has asked you to dispatch, you must win for me! Destroy Shu Kou! ”

Cao Pi said, the smile on his face became even more weird, and the corners of his mouth gradually left blood.
