"Little Wang Cao Yi, meet General Da Hanwei."

"Oh, the king has tormented his ministers. You are the king of a country, how can you salute a foreign minister like this? ”

"Hey, speaking of which, it was all Xiao Wang's willfulness for a while, and he forgot the earnest teachings of Da Sima Gao to build walls, accumulate grain, and slowly claim to be king. Impatiently called the king of Wei. As a result, it attracted a large-scale attack by Jin Rebellion. He also brought General Wei here to suffer. Xiao Wang, I'm really ashamed. ”

Hehe, if I don't want you to be the king in the first half of this year, I really need you to be the king at this time to attract the Jin Kingdom to spend its strength in the mountains surrounded by the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountain. Of course, you must have understood this. It's just that now with such a posture, I won't say it.

The two sides have finished their ceremony, and Cao Yi and others introduced Luo Xian into the Xicheng City that had just been renovated and used as the Taishou Mansion of the Wei Palace. After some pushing, Cao Yi sat on the main seat.

"Dare to ask General Wei, how many reinforcements did the Han send this time?"

"Seven thousand. There were also 800,000 stone grain and 300 million yuan. There are countless materials for defending the city, such as bows, arrows, fire, oil, etc. ”

"This money and food is very sufficient, but this reinforcement is hated less."

"The king thinks there are few reinforcements at all? I think it's a bit too much. ”

"Huh?" In the end, it is the most outstanding person among the four generations of the Cao family, Cao Yi reacted after rolling his eyes slightly: "It seems that General Wei has a strategy, dare to ask General Wei, how to break the enemy?" ”

"When the foreign minister came here, the great Sima and the general of our country had already instructed the foreign minister on the strategy. He was about to report to the king. Please give an order to the king's guards outside the door to bring in the map. ”

"Yes."

After his guards set up the three-dimensional map in the hall of the palace, Luo Xian stood up and bowed to Cao Yi: "King, the generals of the Wei State, please look at the map." Now, from northwest to southeast, the Wei state controls the three counties of Weixing, Shangyong, and Xincheng, as well as part of the nearby Nanxiang county. It may seem like a lot of territory, but with all due respect, the population of these places is so small and scattered that it is extremely expensive to govern. ”

Cao Yi and the others all nodded slowly.

"Three or four years ago, two generals Zhang entered here with more than 1,000 loyal ministers and righteous soldiers. And with the support of my big Hanya goalkeeper, he stood firm. Later, although the Jin State sent Chen Xiuyuan to lead the troops to attack, it soon encountered the Han and Jin Wars, and the main forces of the Jin State were invested in Guanzhong. Support for Chen Xiuyuan was extremely limited. What's more, when Wu attacked Jingzhou later, Chen Xiuyuan's troops had to withdraw.

But today's situation is different from the past, and the Han is now unable to launch a large-scale eastward crusade for the time being, and can only contain a small number of troops of the Jin State on the border. Therefore, the Jin State has enough troops and material support to attack this time.

What's even more worrying is that according to the intelligence of my Great Han Si Wencao, this time the Jin State came to attack, and also attracted the Wu State to send troops together. Although there is a Daba Mountain between the two counties of Shangyong and Xincheng of Wei and Xiling of Wu, what if Wu really sent a small army of 35,000 people from the south over the mountain?

Therefore, the previous method of guerrilla warfare is not suitable for this response. ”

After Luo Xian finished speaking, Zhang Hu, Zhang Xiong and other veterans couldn't help but nod their heads.

"The suggestion of my family's Great Sima and Great General to the Wei State for this battle is: to concentrate the tens of thousands of people scattered in the three counties into Xicheng City. After that, all the troops were divided into two parts, one was hoarded in the west city to hold on, and the other was wandering outside to attack the enemy's transportation lines.

Everyone, please see, in the three counties of Weixing, except for a large basin near Xicheng, the others are all undulating mountains, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient. With such terrain, it will be very difficult for the enemy to advance, on the contrary, it is very convenient for a small unit of our army to hide.

After that, please look at the map, the Jin State wants to invade the three counties of Weixing, and it is generally used in Zhuyang County, Nanxiang County, as a place for material hoarding. It is located next to the Han River. The Han River meanders between the two mountains, starting from Zhuyang, going upstream, and can reach Xicheng and even Hanzhong. Therefore, as long as we concentrate the people and soldiers in the west city. Then the route of the Jin State is almost certain: starting from Zhuyang and marching along both sides of the Han River. ”

"In this way, the unit we drove out of the city earlier can find a way around Hanshui to sneak attack and harass the enemy's logistics line."

"General Meng Xiao is right. Ladies and gentlemen, from Zhuyang to Xicheng, the Han River stretches for more than 600 miles. With such a long distance, it is impossible for the Jin army to fortify everywhere. If there is a flaw, then we will burn their grain ships. There were many such things, and the Jin army either retreated or sent more soldiers to guard the grain route. If it's the former, it's our chance to fight back. If it is the latter, then the siege force of the Jin army will be insufficient. And the grain in my Xicheng city can support it for three years. When the Jin army is trapped in the city, the division veterans are tired, and it will be impossible to escape the situation of annihilation! ”

In general, Luo Xian's strategy is: First, I will concentrate all the populations of several counties in the east to Xicheng at the western end, and strategically retreat in great strides, which is actually to extend your logistics supply line indefinitely. Second, concentrate on Xicheng and build a lighthouse for you to attack. Aren't you going to put down rebellion? I'm right here, won't you come? Third, if you come to Xicheng, you will inevitably stretch the logistics line. And after the logistics line is lengthened, the situation of the battle will change in the direction of its favor.

Because the three counties of Weixing are between the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountain. All kinds of mountains are undulating. In this era, the logistics of the army could only rely on Hanshui. The width of the upper reaches of the Hanshui River is very limited compared to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. When the time came, the grain ships of the Jin Kingdom would go from the Han River, and the soldiers of the Han and Wei dynasties would stand on the shore and come and fire a rocket salvo would be enough to set all the other party's grain ships on fire.

It can be said that whether it is the three counties of Weixing, Yong'an, or Nanzhong, if Ji Han wants to launch an attack from here, his own logistics will become miserable because of the terrain here. But if you just want to defend, then the geography becomes extremely favorable. Such a favorable location is where Guan Yi and others have the confidence to face the simultaneous attack of the two great powers of Jin and Wu.

"The old man agrees with this strategy." After Zhang Hu spoke, Zhang Xiong, Xu Ba, Le Zhao and others also nodded. The generals of the Quartet all nodded, and Cao Yi naturally agreed.

"It's just that in this way, our army will be divided into two divisions. Who will defend the city? Who is out guerrilla? ”

"Hehehe, Xian is good at defending the city, and when I first arrived, I was completely unfamiliar with the geography of the three counties of Weixing. Therefore, what the constitution means is that I will lead 7,000 reinforcements to defend the city, and the generals will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters out of the city to guerrilla. ”

This arrangement makes sense, but it makes no sense.

Speaking of which, the last time the surname Cao and the surname Liu worked together, it was pushed back to 198 AD (Xiapi, Baimen Tower). It's been more than 70 years now. For more than 70 years, except for the last few years, the rest of the time with the surname Cao and the surname Liu have been fighting to the death! Although now forced by the situation, Han and Wei have joined hands again, but the situation belongs to the situation, and the feelings belong to the feelings.

Oh, you told us to concentrate all the population of the three counties of Weixing in Xicheng, and drive all our own troops out of the city. What if we go out and you pull all the 20,000 or 30,000 people to Hanzhong? Don't tell me that it's impossible, your big Sima drooled when he saw the word population, and now who doesn't know it in the whole world?

However, this plan is indeed the best solution. Therefore, Zhang Hu and the others were all silent.

"Hehehehe~~~ Good! General Wei's strategy is excellent. So do it! The former general and other generals quickly issued orders to gather the people from all over the country to Xicheng. At the same time, some of the grain brought by General Wei was transported out and placed in several secret supply points in advance. Then you will go out of the city with your army. ”

"The King?!"

"Ladies and gentlemen." Cao Yi, who had been in front of Luo Xian just now, stood up with a low posture: "If it has nothing to do with the big Sima, Cao Yi is still groveling to the rebels of the Sima family in that cage in Yecheng." If it weren't for the Han Dynasty some time ago, when the Northern Expedition in the country was still gritting its teeth to support our Great Wei, we would have been unable to gain a foothold in the three counties of Weixing a long time ago. The widow also knows that the Han and Wei have been at war for decades, and it is difficult to trust each other. But please think about it, if Dahan really has any bad thoughts about Dawei at this time, can't he just ignore us? Therefore, General Wei's strategy just now, the widow decided to completely implement it! ”

"Obey the king's orders!"

"Sure enough, as my family's eldest Sima said, the descendants of the Cao family are worthy of being the descendants of heroes. But please rest assured that the king and the generals will not be assured. My family's Da Sima has already dispatched two generals, Wu Qiao and Laiqing, in advance, and led the Longxi Army of 10,000 to move towards Hanzhong. and will be stationed in the Golden City. The body of the king is ten thousand gold, and he can neither follow General Zhang and others to guerrilla attacks outside. Nor should they fall into the lonely city of the West City, which is destined to be besieged for a long time. Therefore, please also ask the king to move to the golden city of my great man, and sit there and watch us defeat the enemy! ”

This is very reasonable. Please move the king to the Golden City. ”

"Hehe, General Wei, you are underestimating Xiao Wang a little bit." smiled and arched his hand at Luo Xian: "The widow was locked up in Yecheng for too long in the early years, and he didn't know how to bow horses or anything." That's why I didn't go out of the city to cause chaos for the generals. It's just that since the widow is called the king of Wei, he can't bear the surname of the Cao family and the name of Great Wei. The widow is in Xicheng, waiting for the Jin rebellion to attack! ”

"No, my lord. If you have a ......"

"Well, with the blessing of Tuo Taizu, the widow already has two sons after coming to this Xicheng. Then General Lao Wei sent someone to send the two children and their mother to Hanzhong. ”

"The king can rest assured, as long as the Han is still there, he will definitely protect the safety of the two princes."

"That's not the end of it. Well, don't persuade any more. Generals, the Han and Wei dynasties have been fighting for decades, and many heroes have died on each other, and it is really difficult to cooperate frankly with each other for a while. But the ancestors of the two countries have cooperated, not to mention Emperor Zhaolie of Taizu and the Han Dynasty, that is, the grandfather of Taizu and Guan Da Sima, and there is also a very deep friendship. Back then, Taizu and Emperor Zhaolie joined hands, and Lu Bu tied his hands. Taizu and Marquis Zhuang joined hands, and Yan Liangwen and ugliness were all ambushed. The widow has heard that in addition to the Jin rebellion this time, Wu Gou will also send troops. Hehehe, what kind of thing is Sima's family? Sun Wu is nothing but a Sun Ce? In the past, Taizu once said to Emperor Zhaolie: 'The heroes of the world are only the kings and Cao'er'. Today, let's let Jin Rebellion and Wu Gou take a good look, the descendants of the two heroes of the Han and Wei dynasties will join hands again, how to break Jin Wu! ”
