Chapter 821: Dilemma

Jiameng Pass square inch of land, but now in Liu Yi and Cao Cao swept the storm, Hanzhong will also become the key to the contention between the two families, and a cadre of advisers after detailed discussion Xun You and Cheng Yu will return to Yanzhou under the escort of the tiger idiot Xu Chu and Huang Xuer Cao Zhang, Qingzhou Cao Cao has made up his mind to give up, Yanzhou will become the strongest place for him to consume Liu Yi's strength, after all, this is where he started, operating for many years in the city and the people are attached, and the elite forces of the two states will defend here and add a group of fierce generals and ministers, Even in the face of Liu Yi's army, there is also great room for maneuver.

After Fa Zheng put forward the strategy of marching into Hanzhong, a group of strategists have come up with plans to improve it, Cao Cao also has more designs for this, sometimes everyone like him may lack just an idea, once he is reminded a little, his various tricks and tactics can come to mind! Here, however, it is very similar to Liu Yi's role in the apparatus institute, those skilled craftsmen themselves have rich experience and profound skills, and at this time, a guide from Langsheng can make them go all out to innovate and study, so as to make a breakthrough.

As a generation of heroes, even in the face of the most difficult situation, confidence will never disappear from Cao Cao, especially in front of all his subordinates, he will always be calm and calm! But the pressure will not disappear because of the existence of confidence, Liu Yi's long-planned battle of Yanzhou has always been like a sharp sword hanging in Cao Cao's heart, the more it is not triggered, the more chilling it is! Even the joy of winning Jingzhou and Yizhou could not offset this heavy pressure. Cao Cao would not think that his use of troops and personnel would be under Liu Yi, but he also clearly knew that he was far inferior to the other party in the layout and preparation of this war, and the troops were still weak, and it was difficult to be optimistic about the battle of Yanzhou.

In the face of Liu Yi's strong and majestic strength, following his footsteps is inevitably a defeat, Cao Cao must try to do everything possible to disrupt the situation, the more chaotic the better, in order to profit from it! But he has always lacked such a technique before, and Liu Yi's calmness and forbearance did not give him too many opportunities, but now it is very different, the art of war has a cloud to attack it, and it will be saved, how can Liu Langsheng give up this land in Hanzhong? At this time, although the battle situation was not reversed by the strategy of Fazheng, it was inevitable that Cao Cao would have more opportunities, which was enough for the weaker side, and the key was that Cao Mengde's confidence was strong again. Not only did he have to catch Yan Jun off guard tactically, but Cao Cao didn't want to give Liu Yi more respite.

After two years of strategy and recuperation, Liu Yi has been laying out for the battle of Yanzhou, he doesn't want to give his rival Cao Cao any chance to turn over, and in fact, he has indeed created an extremely advantageous situation for himself! But there are unforeseen circumstances, the gains and losses of a city and a place are subtle in the overall situation of the world, but when this subtlety is in a critical place, it can have a great impact on the battle situation, Cao Cao is full of ambition to give the other party a surprise in the battle of Hanzhong, how will Lang Sheng react to this? Will the battle situation of the Battle of Yanzhou become more mysterious and unpredictable because of Fa Zheng's plan?

This answer is not complicated, the more changes on the battlefield, the more complicated the situation becomes, the most feared in the hearts of the generals of the unified army is not how strong the enemy is, but unpredictable changes, but Fa Zheng can see that attacking Hanzhong is extremely beneficial to the current Cao Cao, and no one under Liu Yi can detect this? Like Cao Mengde and his wise men, Lang Sheng was too focused on the battle of Yanzhou to think too much about it, which may have been a blind spot for the authorities.

Three days after receiving Zhang Hu's military information about Cao's army occupying Jiameng Pass, just as Liu Yi was about to return to Beiping to arrange the overall situation, Zhang Zicai's another letter made him stop his trip, it should be said that Guo Jia's letter had made him have this idea, Zicai's report made him more determined, the two of them have the same opinion, Cao Cao is very likely not to return to Yanzhou and directly to Hanzhong, with the current military equipment here, Cao's army is to occupy a clear upper hand, Liu Zhang's escape made the enemy army do not move and go down to Chengdu, The morale of the army will reach its peak in Jiaxiu!

Among the several military advisors under Liu Yi, Guo Jia is the best at winning by surprise, Zhang Hu's military information was transmitted by Tian'er, and the first to arrive was in the hands of Feng Xiao, and his intuition at that time told him that with the fall of Jia Mengguan into the hands of Cao Jun, it would inevitably cause a series of changes in the local battle situation and affect the overall situation, and then it was not surprising that he came to this conclusion after discussing with Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu. And Zhang Hu directly faced the Cao army in Hanzhong, and he was naturally more sensitive in his senses, but at that time he was also quite difficult to decide, if the Cao army came to fight, it was obviously difficult to resist the strength of the Han sergeant and Zhang Xiu's part of the Chang'an battalion, reinforcements were necessary, and even the second battalion of Yanyun Yellow Shirt was used, the land of Hanzhong was mountainous, and the mountain war could be said to be the weakness of the Yan army now, and only Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan's department had training in this area, but compared with the Cao army trained by the battle of Yizhou, the Yan army here has no advantage! What's more important is that regarding the layout of the battle of Yanzhou, the two divisions of Sizhou and Jizhou are to advance from east to west, and if the main force of the decisive battle is used for this reason, Zhang Hu must also think twice.

At that time, after receiving Guo Jia's handwriting, Liu Yi's heart was tight, after thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao's move was definitely a good strategy for the moment, and his long-planned strategy would also be affected, after seeing the advantages and disadvantages, even if he didn't get further news, Liu Yi was almost certain that Cao Cao would adopt such a strategy, as long as he could think of it. Cao's army has 200,000 elite divisions in Yizhou, but he only has a total of 80,000 horses in the Chang'an battalion and Sizhou battalion in Yongliang in Hanzhong, and although Zhang Lu also has 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers, its combat power does not reassure Lang Sheng, and the two armies have never cooperated, and there are problems in unified command, and it is difficult for the overall combat strength to be fully exerted.

As Fa Zheng predicted in advance, if the land of Hanzhong was not in Liu Yi's hands at this time, he could go all out to fight with Yanzhou regardless of it, but the success of this place also put a heavy burden on his back while gaining huge benefits, if he gained and lost here, it would be a huge blow to the prestige of Yan Jun and Liu Yi himself, Zhang Lu was already his subordinate at this time, no matter from what point of view, Hanzhong he had to defend, there was no other choice.

Compared with Cao Cao's quick decision, Liu Yi was quite in a dilemma at this time, which did not mean that he was not as decisive as the other party in his disposal, but he was forced by the situation. Jia Meng is in the hands of the Cao army, which can be attacked and defended, the initiative of the Hanzhong battlefield is in its hands, and the threat of the tiger prison to Yanzhou is very consistent, to fight with the Cao army here, the first thing Liu Yi has to do is to strengthen the forces in Hanzhong, and the only thing that can be quickly mobilized at present is Zhang Liao's Yan operation and Zhang Yan's yellow shirt battalion, but these two battalions are the main combat force of the Western group in the battle of Yanzhou! One day, the movements of Cao's army are unknown, and making unauthorized transfers will affect Liu Yi's previous combat deployment, but if he does not move, once Cao Cao launches an offensive, Hanzhong will be passive because of insufficient troops, and now Lang Sheng can't wait to be directly attached to Feiyu, and he can explore the enemy's movements one by one.

If he lost Yanzhou Qingzhou and took Hanzhong and Yongliang, such an exchange would be acceptable to Cao Cao, so he could go all out to fight Hanzhong, but Liu Yi would never be willing to exchange it like this, even if the interests of Yanqing and Yongliang were better than the former. This is determined by the comparison of strength between the two sides before the war, Liu Yi, who is in the advantage, is naturally bent on stability, but on the contrary, Cao Mengde is bent on change, and now for Lang Sheng, he needs to consider the problem is obviously better than Cao Cao, the strong opponent has already made the first move, and this move is still aggressive, how to dismantle the move to ensure that his previous strategy is not affected and can take into account the stability of the land of Hanzhong, Liu Yi must make a decision in the shortest possible time, and with his character is not willing to move with the enemy's movements.
