Chapter 822: The Enemy Changes, I Change
Since the Yellow Turban began to fight, Liu Yi's good warfare has been well-known to the world, and in his career as a commander of the army, he is mostly known for his offensive, and the only large-scale defensive battle, the Battle of Sizhou, is the most exciting thing about the final well-planned counteroffensive. Born in the mountains and forests as the king of wolves, combined with the enterprising style of later generations, he is absolutely unwilling to be passively stubborn. Under the situation that Cao Cao is very likely to attack Hanzhong with his troops at Jiameng Pass, Liu Yi's mind is thinking about how to break the opponent's trick by attacking against attacking. Including Zhao Yun, no one would disturb Liu Yi's thinking, this has become Lang Sheng's habit of deciding big things!
Tonight will be a sleepless night for Liu Yi, and at the same time, the meeting hall in Beiping Prefecture is also brightly lit, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Tian Yu and other four people are all present, what they think in their hearts is the same as King Yan, in the face of Cao Jun's conspiracy, in the case of the situation is not completely clear, how to make a move to win the initiative of the entire battle, there is a chess proverb: "One move first, step by step." "It's the same thing in the way of soldiers, the first move represents an advantage.
The battle of Yanzhou is Liu Yi's longest planning since the beginning of the army, the most well-prepared war, as early as two years ago in the opportunity of Beiping to preliminarily set the strategy of this battle, in the next two years, no matter how the general trend of the world changes, the Yan army has always implemented the purpose of the Beiping assembly has never wavered, seeing that the situation of the war is about to begin, the advantage of the king of Yan seems to have been unshakable, but some unpredictable changes on the battlefield have brought more changes to this battle, I am afraid that this is the unsatisfactory thing in life. No matter how thorough you are, you can't know everything!
"Fengxiao, Zhicai, Ji Ming, it seems that we are too rigid in the strategy set by the Beiping Association back then, how can the things of this world be unpredictable in advance? However, even if Cao Cao got Jia Mengguan and then attacked Hanzhong by avoiding the real and imaginary, the overall situation of the battle situation has not changed, although Cao Mengde has the advantage of troops, but the advantages of our army and Yanqing can be further expanded, this is the time for us to brainstorm for the king of Yan to share the worries, we must not mess up our position because of the change of Cao Jun! Jia Xu was the first to speak, the original well-planned strategy was suddenly tricked by the enemy and there were many variables, for the plotters to be a little disappointed is human nature, but the more so, the more important it is not to be surprised, under the calm analysis, although the Cao army's attack on Hanzhong is a good strategy, but it also greatly weakens the defense force of Yanzhou Qingzhou No. 2, making the Yan army's advantage here more obvious, as long as Zhang Hu can lead the army to block the Cao army's offensive, the battle situation here will be more promising.
"Brother Wenhe is reasonable, for today's plan, we must first try to strengthen the strength of Hanzhong, Cao Mengde is not afraid of the situation of losing and losing with Yan Wang, but we can't do without this scruples, in Jia's opinion, the second battalion of Yanyun Yellow Shirt must be transferred to Hanzhong, if the two places start a war, with the army of the three generals Jizhou and the cooperation of the two generals Xuzhou, we will not send troops from the tiger prison Our army's strength advantage is still not changed, and the two armies are the most brave and good at fighting with General Wenyuan's Yanyun battalion, it seems that General Zhang Yan can be quickly ordered to guard the tiger prison on behalf of Wenyuan, and the Yanyun battalion will immediately march to Hanzhong!" Guo Jia bowed slightly when he heard this, although it is an established strategy to advance from east to west, but the enemy army has changed, and his own side cannot remain the same.
"Although Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has already been effective, but King Yan's letter also has the words of letting him sit in Hanzhong and not add troops here, if General Zhang's Yanyun battalion comes here again, plus the two men and horses of the Chang'an battalion and the Sizhou battalion, will it make him scruple and affect the battle situation?" It was Tian Yu Tian Jiming, the general manager of the Yan Army, who spoke at this time, under Liu Yi, this person has rarely participated in the planning of specific military situations, but no one will underestimate his military talent, and the transfer and arrangement of the various departments of the Yan Army have a lot to do with Tian Yu, and his words will naturally be valued by everyone.
"Ji Ming's words are not unreasonable, but this time is also that time, when King Yan wrote the book, he intended to calm Zhang Gongqi's heart and did not think about today's situation, and now Cao Jun will be overwhelmed by the army in a few days, I think that Zhang Luzhi will not be entangled in this, if Han Zhong loses, what good will it do him? Besides, there is still a son in the town, with his ability to be able to analyze the current feelings for Zhang Gongqi thoroughly, I don't think there is too much worry here, the words of filial piety are indeed feasible, we can wait on the side of the king of Yan and order Wen Yuan to lead the army to Hanzhong immediately, and the affairs of the soldiers cannot be delayed at all. Xi Zhicai heard the words and said, he is the one who has worked with Zhang Hu for the longest time in the audience, and he naturally has a deep understanding of Zicai's talent.
"There are nearly 80,000 horses in the Chang'an camp of Gongxing and the Sizhou camp of Mengqi, and as soon as Wenyuan's Yan operation arrives, there will be 140,000 troops in Zicai's hands, and then there are tens of thousands of Hanzhong soldiers in the hands of Zhang Gongqi......" Tian Yu nodded and stopped saying when he heard this, and Jia Xu on the side then spoke, but half of the words were to look at Guo Jia, Tian'er was under the control of Fengxiao, and the specific military situation of Cao Jun was naturally clear.
"This time Cao Mengde went out to Yizhou to mobilize an army of 270,000, occasionally there may be a loss, but compared to the income is enough to make up for it, he is in his hands, Hanzhong does not have much danger to defend, Liu Yan father and son are difficult to go down to Hanzhong, one is not enterprising, and the other is not good at soldiers, if Yizhou is in the hands of King Yan, I am afraid there is no Zhang Gongqi power today. The combat strength of the Cao army is not under our army and the morale of Lian Jie is high, and the second battalion of Chang'an, the governor of my division, is finally a newly formed army, so the comparison of troops is afraid that Zicai is also overstretched, that Cao Mengde can use soldiers well, and there are resourceful people under his command to help, but the Yanyun battalion is still a little thin, not as good as ...... "Although Jia Xu is not famous, how can Feng Xiao not know what he means, and he is saying at the moment, what he said is also what Wen He thinks, although Zhang Hu is a great talent, but after all, it is Cao Cao himself, and the strength is at a disadvantage and the geographical advantage is not obvious, the success or failure of this battle is really unpredictable, After a little silence, Guo Jiawei paused, looking at everyone as if they had it!
"What Feng Xiao said is that he wants to use the Tiger Guard?" Touching Fengxiao's eyes, Xi Zhicai's heart moved, the Yellow Shirt Battalion must not be moved lightly with the duty of sitting in the Tiger Prison, in addition to the Yan Army, all units of the Yan Army must participate in the Battle of Yanzhou, the only reinforcement in Hanzhong is the Zhang Hehu Guard who is still in Beiping at this time, this is the trump card combat power in the Yan Army, if you can join the Hanzhong battlefield with Jun Yi's ability to lead the army, it can greatly increase the success of this battle, it is a good policy, but the question is that the Tiger Guard Army is also Liu Yi is preparing to use the Yanzhou battlefield, will it have an impact on the war?
"In addition to Cao Mengde's more than 200,000 elites in Yizhou, the rest is the 100,000 horses of Qingzhou Yu Ban and the more than 100,000 soldiers of Xiahou Yuan and others who are guarding Yanzhou, which is Jun Yi's Tiger Guard, our side can still double the enemy army, as long as the king of Yanzhong in Hanzhong is stabilized, you can focus on the two states, these two wars at the same time with their military strength comparison, our army is more than Cao's army!" Since Guo Jia thought of letting Zhang He's Tiger Guards rush to the aid of Hanzhong, he would not fail to consider the impact on the Battle of Yanzhou, if the Tiger Guards joined the Hanzhong battlefield, plus Zhang Lu's Hanzhong Army, Zhang Hu's troops in his hands would be roughly equal to Cao Cao, and Liu Yi still had an overwhelming military advantage over the forbidden Xiahou Yuan in Yanqing Erzhou, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two would be obvious when considering the gains and losses of the two!
"However, Zhicai and the lord can also add Feng Xiaozhi's words in the report, General Zhang's Tiger Guard Army to aid Hanzhong is indeed a good law, and I think that King Yan will also have a clear judgment, but since Cao Cao came out of this strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, our army may not have to wait for it to make a counterattack, and our army should attack Qingzhou first, break through the forbidden army and take this place to collect the effect of taking the lead!" Jia Xu also agreed with Guo Jia's proposal, but what he thought in his heart was not blindly in Hanzhong, as Guo Jia said, the situation still underwent unexpected changes, and the Yan army could not stick to the rules!
