Chapter 1209: A Game of Chess
Day 2, afternoon.
Fa Zheng took two entourages and rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass.
So far, Fazheng has not known any news.
He only received Fa Zheng's order to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass, and he didn't understand why Wang Can hurriedly transferred him. Just after arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass, he didn't even have time to see Wang Can, Zhao Yun found him, informed Wang Can of his order, and asked him and the army to go north and merge with the state.
Wang Can's order could not be disobeyed, and he left the camp with the army.
From beginning to end, Fa Zheng failed to talk to Wang Can.
Everything was in such a hurry.
More than 60,000 troops left the Tiger Pass, and the army hurried away. At this time, Fa Zheng had time to ask, and he found Zhao Yun and asked what was going on.
Zhao Yun told Fa Zheng about the merger of states and conveyed Wang Can's order.
Fa Zheng looked at Zhao Yun and asked, "General Zhao, are you sure?" ”
Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty asked Shi A to inform me, there will definitely be no mistake. ”
Fa Zheng frowned, his face became gloomy, and said, "In this way, the matter of our going north to aid the state is still a little tricky. However, it is always advantageous to know more about the situation. With our strength, there is not much danger of merging the state, but we still have to win Jizhou and Youzhou, this is a big game of chess, and there can be no mistakes. ”
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "That's why Your Majesty let you go north to give advice to the army!" ”
Fa Zheng smiled and accepted Zhao Yun's compliments.
Suddenly, Fa Zheng said: "General Zhao, this speed is too slow, you have to speed up and hurry." Ordered the army to start a rapid march to Jinyang, without any consideration on the way, and strive to reach Jinyang within ten days. When the army arrives in Jinyang, carefully consider the tasks given by His Majesty. ”
Zhao Yun's eyes widened and he asked, "Strategist, will this be risky?" ”
Fa Zheng said confidently: "General Zhao, since I have ordered this, I naturally know it in my heart, you don't have to worry." The road north to Jinyang will not be intercepted. ”
Zhao Yun saw that the law was in his chest, so he stopped persuading and hurried away.
……
Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Ying.
In Cao Cao's tent, there were Sima Lang, Man Chong and others.
Man Chong was reporting the news from the spies, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there was news just now that Wang Can sent a large army north. Among them, the leaders were Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, with about 7,000 light cavalry and 60,000 elite Shu troops. From the analysis of the route of the march of the army, it should be headed to Jinyang, Bingzhou. ”
"Okay, the chess of the north has finally moved."
Cao Cao stood up happily, his eyes flashed, his arm waved twice, and said loudly: "The trapping camp, heavy cavalry and light cavalry under Wang Can's command are indeed powerful, but they are always unbearable. This time, Wang Can sent troops to rescue and annex the state, and he would immediately fall into the net laid by Xiahoudun and Sima Yi, and there would be no return, and the result would definitely be dead and there would be no place to be buried. ”
Cao Cao laughed, very proud.
Dong Zhao said: "Your Majesty, did you send people to intercept them along the way?" ”
Cao Cao waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Why do you want to intercept Zhao Yun? This is redundant. Once Zhao Yun is blocked, it will be easy for them to detect the abnormality of the state, so they can quickly arrive in Jinyang. After Zhao Yun entered Bingzhou, he had already burrowed into the urn, and there were enemies everywhere, and Sima Yi and Xiahou Tang would deal with them. ”
At this time, Cao Cao was undoubtedly excited and proud.
After a big call, Cao Cao crackled and said: "When the army led by Zhao Yun is wiped out, you can let Zhao Yun's people ask Wang Can for help." In this way, the strength of the Shu army was transferred to Bingzhou little by little, and we gradually encroached on the Shu army. After Wang Can's strength was weak, he began to attack the Tiger Pass, extinguished Wang Can's strength, and took advantage of the situation to advance westward and capture Luoyang and Chang'an. ”
Dong Zhao said convincingly: "Your Majesty is wise! ”
Everyone praised each other, and Cao Cao listened to the words of praise, and the pores all over his body opened, almost fluttering, waiting for the war in the north to happen.
……
Jinyang, Thorn Mansion.
Ma Chao and Sima Yi have already entered the Assassin's Mansion, and Gao Gan has long disappeared and will no longer appear. At this time, the most active is the trial, which has replaced the position of the senior cadres, and the orders are issued by the trial. Cao Cao sent someone to pass the news of Zhao Yun to Sima Yi, and when he got the news, he immediately brought in the interrogator.
In the middle of the hall, the judge stood in the middle of the hall.
Sima Yi and Ma Chao were sitting, and the identities and status of both parties were clear at a glance.
Sima Yi stared at the trial, his eyes were cold, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Xian, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong led 60,000 elite Shu troops and 7,000 light cavalry to the north, and they are rushing to Jinyang. After Zhao Yun arrives, whether Zhao Yun and the others can be tricked into the city depends on Mr. Judge's performance. If Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are taken down, it will be a trivial matter for Mr. Shen to seal his wife and son. If things go wrong, no matter what kind of celebrity you are, I won't show mercy. ”
In the end, the tone was cold, which made the judges shiver. The young man in front of him is sven, but he is definitely a ruthless master.
The judge bowed down and said: "The military advisor can rest assured, and he should do his best." ”
Sima Yi hummed and let the judge leave.
Ma Chao waited for the trial to leave before he spoke: "Military Division, wouldn't it be bad if the trial match was exposed." When Zhao Yun arrived, wouldn't it be better to simply let people say that the two of them were sick and trick Zhao Yun into entering the city. ”
Sima Yi glanced at Ma Chao and sneered in his heart: No wonder the Ma clan was exterminated by Wang Can, and he had no brains.
Sima Yi naturally wouldn't say this sentence.
Sima Yi smiled and said: "General Ma, you have to do a full set of plays, don't think about foolproof things." The more foolproof it is, the bigger the flaw, and there is no foolproof thing. Moreover, Zhao Yun led his troops into Jinyang, and there were already enemies on all sides, and the Shu army entered Jinyang City, and we could destroy Zhao Yun's troops with the lowest casualties. If Zhao Yun doesn't enter the city, I still have a way. ”
He stood up and glanced at Ma Chao, then turned around and walked to the backyard.
Ma Chao stared at Sima Yi's departing back, his eyes were cold, and his expression was gloomy.
……
Nanyang County, Wuyin County.
Zhang Liao led an army of 150,000 to set off and set up camp outside Wuyin County.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Liao's gaze swept over Yan Yan, Wen Ping, Huang Xu and others, and finally fell on Pang Tong, and asked: "Military Division, we set off from Anhui County, and we are about to leave Nanyang County and enter the territory of Yuzhou. How this battle should be fought, there must be a clear plan. If it is a direct attack on Runan, it is in exchange for the lives of soldiers, and it is not worth it. ”
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, there is already a way in my heart." In this battle, we must lure the snake out of the hole, lure out Cao Cao's army stationed in Yuzhou, and then annihilate it. ”
Zhang Liao was overjoyed and asked, "What is the plan of the gentleman?" ”
Pang Tong carefully explained the plan, and assigned tasks to the generals in the account.
……
Wu County, Wu County.
Up to now, Xu Shu has been training troops and collecting food in an orderly manner, everything is preparation, and there is no plan to send troops. Xu Shu could hold it steady, but Gan Ning couldn't hold it back.
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai rushed to Wu County from the water army camp and saw Xu Shu.
In the hall, Gan Ning asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, Your Majesty has arrived in the north, and they have begun to fight Cao Cao; Zhang Liao of Nanyang also sent troops to Yuzhou; Now, only our army is still at home, and the soldiers are all ready to fight, very impatient, when will you give the order to send troops? ”
Zhou Tai said: "My lord, the sailor has been impatient to wait for a long time, so let's send troops." ”
Xu Shu shook his head and said with a smile: "I tell you that Zhang Liao and the Cao army in Yuzhou are at war, and we will send troops immediately." ”
"Why?"
The two immediately asked Xu Shu, not understanding why Xu Shu waited until the war in Yuzhou to send troops. This is simply inexplicable, which makes the two of them angry.
Xu Shu didn't care about the expressions of the two, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you don't have to fight with a large army. If we want to fight, we must take Cao Cao's main force in Yangzhou at one time, and then quickly sweep Yangzhou, this is my goal. Obviously, Xu Shu is not planning one city or one place, but the whole of Yangzhou.
Gan Ning said arrogantly: "In this case, I will stay in the Thorn History Mansion and wait for news from Yuzhou." ”
Zhou Tai and Gan Ning stayed in the Assassin's Mansion and waited for the big battle to happen.
