These strategists under Mu Yi deserve to be the top existences in the Three Kingdoms period, and they planned an expedition plan in just one night.

After some discussion, Mu Yi decided to send troops to attack Tongguan first, and then immediately march to Hangu Pass after occupying Tongguan, as long as Tongguan is in hand, even if he can't occupy the entire Hangu main road, he can also block the Xiliang soldiers who are guarding Chang'an.

The expedition plan is planned, but Mu Yi and others are a little difficult! Even if you want to attack Chang'an, at least you have to have a high-sounding excuse, right? Sending troops without excuses seems to be a bit unjustifiable.

However, just when Mu Yi was in trouble, Qilan came to see Mu Yi.

Qilan saluted Mu Yi respectfully: "Lord, my subordinates have been delayed for a long time, and the affairs of Chang'an cannot be ignored for a long time." In addition, Cai's family died, and his subordinates had promised his wife that they would find a way to send Cai's body back to Bingzhou after returning to Chang'an. ”

At this time, Mu Yi was worried about finding an excuse to send troops to Chang'an, but he didn't expect Qilan's words to make him suddenly have a plan in his heart.

After a little hesitation, Mu Yi slowly spoke: "Okay! You will go back to Chang'an first, but after arriving in Chang'an, you don't have to deliberately care about the bodies of the Cai family, you just need to take a walk in secret, just say that Li Guobian killed innocents indiscriminately, and what is even more hateful is that the Cai family was secretly executed in prison, and Cai Yan is the wife and concubine of a certain person, and a certain wants to crusade against Li Guobian and seek justice for Cai everyone! ”

After saying that, Mu Yi's eyes changed, and he said solemnly: "Remember, no matter what, you can't put yourself in danger." ”

Seeing that Mu Yi was worried about her safety, Qilan couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, and bowed and said, "Oh! ”

Aside from Qilan's secret return to Chang'an, he said that after Mu Yi had a plan in his heart, he immediately ordered Guo Jia and others to prepare grain and grass and set out for Chang'an half a month later.

At the same time, Mu Yi passed down the military order, ordering Wang Sanluo to temporarily guard Yuncheng, Huang Zhong as the vanguard officer, Gao Shun as the deputy general, after preparing enough grain and grass equipment, led 20,000 horses to cross the Yellow River and Fengling to cross the Yellow River to attack Tongguan.

In ancient times, the transportation was not very convenient, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people went out to fight, and the grain and grass equipment were the most troublesome, especially in siege warfare, and the materials that needed to be prepared were even more huge.

Mu Yi was preparing to go on an expedition in Bingzhou, and Cao Cao was also rapidly expanding his territory at this time.

After Cao Cao led his men to occupy Yunzhou, he immediately took over the city defense, incorporated the Montenegrin army, and accepted the surrender of millions of Montenegrin army dependents. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Cao selected more than 300,000 young men from these people to form the "Qingzhou Army".

Since then, Cao Cao has also gained a foothold among the princes.

However, Cao Cao is not easy to follow, and his subordinates are even more strategists, as soon as they establish a foothold in Yunzhou, they immediately took advantage of the situation to expand their territory around.

It didn't take long for Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to hit Xingyang.

Originally, Cao Cao also wanted to start from Xingyang, enter the Hangu Road to kill Tongguan, and even break through Chang'an.

But considering that Yuncheng has Mu Yi's soldiers and horses, in case he attacks Tongguan by himself, Mu Yi takes the opportunity to lead people to cut off the back road, then he may be attacked by the enemy.

As a result, Cao Cao could only silence his banner and appease the people to develop internal affairs.

The strategists under Mu Yi's command gathered together.

An undercover agent lurking in Xingyang, knelt on one knee on the ground, and reported to Mu Yi:

"Report to the lord, after Cao Cao defeated the Montenegrin army, he collected more than 300,000 young and strong, and then took advantage of the weakness to attack Yuzhou, at this time Luoyang, Xingyang, Central Plains and other places have fallen into the hands of Cao Cao......"

Hearing this, the strategists present began to talk one after another.

After Mu Yi waved his hand to signal the spy to go down, he looked at the people present and asked, "Everyone, you must have heard the specific situation, I don't know what you think?" ”

Tian Feng smiled at Mu Yi and said, "Don't worry, even if we send troops to Chang'an, Cao Cao will not attack us." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Mu Yi asked puzzled.

Tian Feng glanced around, then looked at Mu Yi, and said confidently: "Cao Cao occupies Yuzhou and other places, Yuan Shu will definitely be dissatisfied, if Cao Cao is willing to rely on Yuan Shu, it will be fine!" However, at this time, Cao Cao had more than 300,000 troops under his command, and he would definitely not be constrained by Yuan Shu. Since the two sides are not in harmony, there will definitely be frictions of all sizes, so Cao Cao at this time is tired of dealing with Yuan Shu, and he has no spare strength to use troops against us. ”

At this time, Jia Xu said: "Yuan Shu is arrogant and lascivious, tyrannical, ambitious and talented, and the people under his jurisdiction are full of complaints, even if he was born in the fourth world and the third duke, he is not Cao Cao's opponent, even if Cao Cao's current strength is not as good as Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will definitely be defeated by Cao Cao in the future." ”

Guo Jia also agreed: "Yes, if Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shu, there is no need to annihilate, as long as Yuan Shu's vitality is greatly injured, Cao Cao can free his hands to attack Chang'an or Xuzhou, no matter which area Cao Cao captures, he will inevitably send troops to attack Jizhou or Merge Zhou, so we must capture Chang'an before Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shu, and at the worst we must take Tongguan, otherwise when Cao Cao's strength grows, it will inevitably become a big disaster!" ”

Mu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, although Cao Cao's strength is not the strongest among the princes, his strategy is not inferior to that of any of the princes. The order went down, and the troops were set out as quickly as possible, and Huang Zhong was also ordered to occupy Tongguan immediately if there was an opportunity. Tongguan is a barrier to Chang'an, as long as we occupy Tongguan, with the help of Tongguan and the Yellow River, whether it is facing Cao Cao or Li Guobian, we will have a few more chances of winning. ”

"......"

……

Yuncheng

When Huang Zhong received Mu Yi's order, not to mention how happy he was! Since being attacked by Niu Fu and attacking Yuncheng, Huang Zhong has long been looking forward to sending troops to Chang'an, and now that he has received Mu Yi's order, how not to make him excited.

Gao Shun's speed was not slow, and in just ten days, he had prepared grain, grass, equipment and other materials.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Zhong received Mu Yi's second order, that is, to occupy Tongguan by all means. After receiving the order, Huang Zhong handed over the city defense of Yuncheng and immediately led the army towards Tongguan.

The troops and horses on the side of the state are frequently mobilized, and it is impossible for Chang'an not to be prepared at all. Knowing that Mu Yi was preparing to send troops to Chang'an, Li Guobian immediately sent troops to garrison Tongguan.

Because it was necessary to prevent Ma Teng from Han Sui, Fan Chou was responsible for garrisoning Chencang, and Li Guobian was to sit in Chang'an, and the task of garrisoning Tongguan could only be handed over to Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew.

As a result, Zhang Ji was named the general of Zhendong, the general of Zhonglang, and led an army of 20,000 to garrison Tongguan.

A few days later, when Huang Zhong's army arrived at the Fengling Ferry, they found that the surrounding bridges that could cross the river had been removed, and even boats of all sizes had gathered on the other side of the Yellow River.

At the same time, there are more than 10,000 cavalry garrisons on the other side of the Yellow River, not to mention attacking Tongguan, I am afraid that it is also a difficult problem to cross the Yellow River.

In desperation, Huang Zhong could only order the soldiers of the three armies to set up camp on the banks of the Yellow River and let people cut down trees to prepare to cross the river.
