Chapter 933: Settlement in the Accounts
The time limit of half a pillar of incense is for those who are the most difficult to find military information, the battle situation in Hanzhong Liu Yi and a group of staff officers are paying attention every day, and immediately after King Yan spoke, someone sent it to expand on the big case, among which the mark of the enemy and me is extremely clear, and those who know how to read the map can immediately see that the picture at this time is the situation of the two armies after Cao Junbing came to Hanzhong City. The operation on the map is a must for the Heavenly Wolf people, and these important battle maps in the Yan army, especially in the Yan King's tent, must be updated in a timely manner with the changes in the reported military situation.
After Cao Cao's attack on Hanzhong City, half of the entire county was already under the control of Cao's army, and the exit of the Meridian Valley mentioned by Zhang He was behind the enemy's flank. It is impossible to transmit military information as quickly as in real time, and it is difficult to estimate how many Cao troops will be stationed around it, but Lang Sheng has his own life, and if he does not know the existence of such a small road or does not know it deeply, such terrain will definitely not be heavily guarded, and it will only be a waste of troops.
Hanzhong is only a county, although the territory is wide and the population is quite large, but this alone is not worthy of Liu Yi's attention, the key is still in his strategic position, stabilizing this place is like blocking the road of Cao's army to the north, and at any time according to the change of the situation and from here to conquer the land of Yizhou, it is also a place where you can advance and retreat! In another time and space, the two families of Sun and Liu were fighting for Jingzhou, and Liu Bei personally led the army to Shangyong and Guan Yu to form a line to fight against Eastern Wu.
However, Cao Cao's troops entered Hanzhong, persuaded Zhang Lu to surrender, and this place fell into the hands of the Wei army, Liu Bei's position instantly came to a 180-degree reversal, and sent an envoy to take over Sun Quan, so that Guan Yu handed over the land of the three counties of Jingnan and Eastern Wu in exchange for his troops to enter Hefei to contain the Cao army, and the original confrontation between the two armies disappeared in a blink of an eye! And the reason for Liu Bei's behavior was the threat to Shu after Cao Jun took Hanzhong, and the importance here was already better than half of Jingzhou in his heart!
Liu Bei's reaction was not unpleasant, and he passed a great crisis, and Cao Cao did not follow Jia Wenhe's advice to seize Hanzhong after taking this place, and attacked it while Liu Bei's foothold in Shuzhong was not stable! I don't know what Mende's considerations were at that time? In Liu Yi's heart, with his strategic vision, he will never fail to see the correctness of Jia Xu's suggestion, no matter which angle you analyze it from which point of view, it was a good time for Cao Jun to send troops, you must know that they took Hanzhong almost unharmed, and they could only attribute it to the old age of the hero.
Cao Mengde missed the opportunity to give Liu Bei time to breathe, after a period of recuperation, he finally led the army to attack Hanzhong, after a fierce contest Liu Xuande finally defeated his old opponent Cao Cao on his own strength for the first time on the frontal battlefield, and killed Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Wei army to conquer the west, and pocketed the strategic land of Hanzhong! At this time, it was too late for King Wei to wake up, and he led the army to come to conquer again, and Yang Xiu became the role of a punching bag.
After Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, Zhang Fei died at the hands of soldiers, Liu Bei gambled but was burned by Lu Boyan in the battle of Yiling, and finally had to be orphaned in the White Emperor City, and he died of depression! The time between the heyday and the decline of Shu Han is so short, it is quite a flash in the pan. After the Three Kingdoms, Shu has always been the weakest one, but the Wei State, which has two thirds of the world, has never had a good plan for it, except that it has a heroic leader, and the role of Hanzhong as a solid barrier should not be underestimated.
This period of history Liu Yi had a deep study when he read the history books, and he had a hard time understanding of the importance of Hanzhong, and the bottom limit for Zhang Hu was to give up this place and retreat to Yongliang was a last resort, after all, Cao Cao was outnumbered under all his might, and if the son was lost, Hanzhong would definitely not report, and he could only choose to save people and lose his land under the balance between the two. If there is really a situation where this place is taken by Cao's army, Liu Yi will try to attack the land of Jingxiang first, and then follow Liu Bei's method to capture Shuzhong, and Yongliang and other places will be more strategic.
Zhang Hu will definitely not know this period of history, but his understanding of the importance of Hanzhong is not under Liu Yi, and now that Yan has the leadership of the Yan King, he has shown the momentum of dominating the world, and he never wants to see this situation reversed by Cao Cao or any other prince! Here, the Yan army is bound to fight and has to fight, as the commander-in-chief, he has no firm faith, how can he lead his soldiers to fight to the death with the Cao army? What's more, he also has to shoulder the responsibility of stabilizing the confidence of Zhang Lu and other cadres in Hanzhong, and when he retreated to the fortified city, Zicai had already cut off all the retreats on his own, which was quite the momentum of the overlord Xiang Yu back then, and it was also a statement of the offensive of the Cao army.
When a person really puts life and death out of the way, it is likely to stimulate his hidden potential, Zhang Zicai is no exception, and in this state, he will become more terrifying, if Zhang Hu's quest for perfection in the past battles has restrained his hands and feet to a certain extent, today in the land of Hanzhong he is really completely let go, at this time Zhang He proposed the method of surprise attack out of the Meridian Valley, the choice of this timing can be described as extremely accurate.
In Liu Yi's heart, in addition to the trust and respect of Zhang Hu, there is an indescribable feeling, this person is the greatest talent he has unearthed in this life, his name is not seen in any history books, Lang Sheng in the late Han Dynasty can not find a person with a similar experience to him, and relative to those who have a great reputation in history, the son will let him have the closest feeling. Since Qinglingguan and Wuhuan met in the first battle, they are the most tacit pair in the world for more than ten years, Liu Yi's reputation for a hundred battles has Zhang Hu's huge merit and dedication, in every important decision-making juncture before, Zicai has never been biased.
This strategy of sending troops to attack through Meridian Valley was originally proposed by Liu Yi, and it was by no means simply borrowed from Wei Yan's insights in another time and space, but at most it was a judgment made by him after careful analysis by virtue of his own military talents. It is true that today's opponent Cao Cao is much stronger than Zhang Lu at that time, and the strength of the enemy in the battle of Hanzhong is difficult to change for a while, but all its disadvantages are also quite a lot, at least the geographical advantages and people are not in Cao Cao's hands here, as for the time of day, the two sides are at most evenly divided, Liu Yi, who has a righteous name, is slightly better, and after the attack in Hanzhong is blocked, the weaknesses of Cao's continuous combat and never really recuperate will gradually emerge with the stalemate of the war, and all kinds of advantages and disadvantages are gathered together, If Lang Sheng can't make a decision in this battle, it can only prove that he is just an indecisive person.
At this time, inspired by Pang Tong's advice, Liu Yi's state of mind has changed, your Cao Mengde's attack on Hanzhong is indeed beyond my expectations, and it has brought some unpredictable changes to the overall situation, but the source of the source is still under the deterrence of the powerful strength of Yan Di and has to be a surprise soldier's strategy, so it depends on how Liu can crack your strange soldier, and who was Yan Jun afraid of when he was dominating the world here? Whether it is Yanzhou or Hanzhong, the final victory will only be me Liu Langsheng! Although Xuzhou Liu Bei is fledgling and has Wolong's assistance, the gap in strength is also more obvious, and the most outstanding two heroes in the late Han Dynasty joined forces to match, and Lone will also sweep them all!
It can be said that Liu Yi, who has such a state of mind, has done what the great men of later generations said to despise the enemy strategically, and the next thing he has to do is to refine every detail of the battle, there will indeed be no perfect thing in this world, but you can't give up the pursuit of it in your attitude, Liu Yi still agrees with the proposal of Zicai Jun and the two in his heart, and will give them enough power to give full play to it, but this is not just a word can be ended, he also has to put forward the most feasible suggestions to his subordinates in this battle through careful thinking and brainstorming, on the tactical side, it is necessary to pay great attention to the enemy, and it will not be harmful to calculate more than to consume brain power.
Looking at the map of Hanzhong, Liu Yi's mind showed the actual terrain in detail, it seemed that this map had become a moving image, and after some deep thought, the focus of his consideration was still on the general of the Meridian Valley! Zhang He is interested in Wei Yan here, Zicai did not express too many opinions, this is not only trust in Jun Yi, but more importantly, confidence in Liu Yi's vision! But Lang Sheng himself is clear in his heart where his demonic eyesight comes from, Wei Yan is a general, with his own experience, through his long-term observation of it, even if he does not have the knowledge of later generations, Liu Yi will not doubt this, this person's ability should be on a par with Jun Yi Gongming.
But in history, when Wei Yan made this suggestion to Zhuge Liang, he was already a famous general in the world, and there was no one to compare in the Shu Han army, and he was as stable as Mount Tai in Hanzhong for many years, and Wei Wenchang was in his prime at that time, and his experience was already extremely rich, and now as the deputy commander of the Tiger Guard, the battle of Hanzhong was only the first battle of Wen Chang, did he really have the ability to control such a strange soldier who was decisive to the Yan army and the war situation? Liu Yi did not dare to make such a conclusion, but with Zhang He's concerns, Wei Yan at this time was not suitable to lead the army alone, and it was different from Lang Sheng when he was young, Liu Yi was not a military genius, but he had the experience of being at the bottom of the army, step by step to be stable and upright, and there was no lack of actual combat training, plus the left and right people and "foresight" This can stand out among the princes.
Gradually, Liu Yi's gaze became firm, and today he uncharacteristically did not communicate with the staff officers around him, but after thinking for more than an hour, he ordered someone to put away the map on the case, and then splashed ink and wrote hard......
