Chapter Ninety-One: Deliberation
Receiving the news of Han Sui and Ma Chao's army early, Zhong Miao moved the people of Guanzhong to Guannei.
Xiahou Yuan, www.biquge.info the author of the "Fun" Pavilion, finally decided to concentrate all his forces in Chang'an to resist the 250,000 Xiliang coalition army and the 100,000 Caohan army.
The 100,000 horses from Zaohan were led by Song Jian's general Song He, and although the Xiliang coalition army did not elect the leader of the alliance, Liang Xing and other eight people and horses were only Han Sui's leader, and the meaning of taking Han Sui as the leader of the alliance was obvious.
The complete Spring and Autumn Festival was put on Cao Shuang's table, not to mention how happy Jia was after watching it.
Just when Cao Shuang and Jia Wan were about to do a big job and started printing books.
An edict broke the dream of making a fortune for the two.
Cao Cao ordered Cao Shuang to go north with the army to support Guanzhong, and the plan for the two to print the book was shelved.
Before the Western Liang coalition besieged Chang'an, Cao Cao led an army of 150,000 to Chang'an.
Outside Chang'an City, the 350,000 troops of the Xiliang Coalition Army are mighty, and the military tents are densely packed, covering the sky and the sun.
Cao Cao led a cadre of civil and military generals to stand on the wall of Chang'an, looking at the Xiliang coalition army outside the city.
Cao Shuang's intuition was very shocking, he had never seen such a big scene.
Dark clouds were in the air, and a light rain began to fall.
"Who has a plan to break the enemy?"
Cao Cao tapped the battlements with his right index finger and asked with squinted eyes.
Wenwu, who was standing behind Cao Cao, look at me, I look at you, and shook his head helplessly.
Cao Cao turned his head to look at everyone, with a faint smile on his face, and pointed to the Xiliang Coalition Army under the city, "How was Yuan Shao back then, wasn't he still defeated in Lone's hands." ”
Cao Shuang stood in the crowd, observing that everyone's faces were much better, and he was more confident than just now.
Walking into the meeting hall of the Chang'an Governance Office, Cao Cao's face turned gloomy, "Han Sui and Ma Chao raised more than 200,000 troops, and also colluded with Song Jian, which is obviously imperative for the Central Plains." They are three times as numerous as ours, how to break the enemy, you have a clever plan? ”
Those who could enter the council hall were Cao Cao's henchmen, and after listening to Cao Cao's words, all the civil and military officers showed worry.
Cao Cao's words on the city wall just now were just to boost morale, just like Wangmei quenched his thirst back then.
"Cut off the source and cut off the grain."
I saw a military general with a national face clasping his fists and saying, his face was serious, and a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time.
With an army of 350,000 people, people eat and horses chew, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is definitely not a small amount.
Cao Cao's thoughts seemed to return to the Battle of Guandu, if it wasn't for Chun Yuqiong's drinking and mistaking of things that night, Cao Cao burned the black nest, and Yuan Shao lost his grain and grass, then it would be difficult to say who is standing here today.
Cao Cao nodded, "Gongming, what do you think of this." ”
The national character face military general is Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, one of the generals who attacked the Wuchao that year.
Liu Ye arched his hand and said, "General Xu's plan is feasible, but where will the Xiliang Coalition Army put the grain and grass?" ”
It is impossible to prepare grain and grass for 350,000 people at one time, so it can only be continuously transported from the rear to the front.
So where is the grain and grass transfer station of the Xiliang Coalition Army, and where is the grain route of the Xiliang Coalition Army, it is very important.
The Xiliang coalition army will definitely protect this place from the Cao army coming to attack.
"There are a lot of Qiang people in the army this time, and they all feed on cattle and sheep."
As the supreme commander of Chang'an, Zhong Xuan is naturally familiar with the situation, "They also need a lot of cattle and sheep, so the goal of the team to transport grain must be very large." ”
"Miaocai, you immediately scatter all the scouts and explore the grain route of the Xiliang Coalition Army."
Cao Cao waved his hand and began to arrange the task, "Gongming, you select soldiers in the army, and once you know the grain route of the Xiliang Alliance, set off immediately." And the rest of the people did their part and strengthened the city. ”
There was a drizzle in the sky, and Cao Jun's scouts took advantage of the night to quietly leave the city.
The big tent of the Xiliang coalition army, the lights were bright, the aroma of beef and mutton was overflowing, Han Sui sat on the main seat, and the rest of the generals sat on both sides of him.
"Tomorrow, we will attack the city in batches."
Han Sui smoothed the beard under his chin and discussed with everyone, "After all, our number is three times that of Cao Jun. ”
Many people applauded loudly, these people had strange hairstyles and were dressed in animal skins, and they were all the leaders of the Qiang tribes.
These Qiang leaders felt that they had a miracle, and in front of more than 300,000 people and horses, the copper wall and iron wall could pry open a crack.
Ma Chao didn't speak, just sat quietly, his cavalry was very elite, and he was not good at attacking cities.
Liang Xing and Ma Yu didn't speak, they took the lead in attacking the west city of Chang'an, they were ambushed, and they suffered heavy casualties, and they didn't want to take the lead again.
In siege warfare, the besieging side often pays a higher price than the defending side, which is why the ancients believed that the siege was inferior.
"If you want to break through Chang'an, why bother so much."
The bald man sitting on one side spoke, the smile on his face was very confident.
This person is the commander of the Caohan army, Song and General Song.
Song He's words attracted everyone's attention, and Han Sui asked curiously, "I don't know what General Song's plan is?" ”
"Come in!"
Song He waved his hand, and a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest walked in from outside the tent, and the two mustaches were very eye-catching, and the fairy wind and bones were eye-catching.
"The poor road law is called Chihuo, and the generals are polite."
The Red Fire Dao man shook off the dust and saluted everyone.
Han Sui leaned back and made himself more comfortable, "This is?" ”
"Dao Chief, tell me what you can do."
Song Heyi raised his head and asked the people of Chihuo Dao to say their own methods, which was also arranged by Song Jian before he sent out the troops.
"This is numbness, within three days after taking it, my hands and feet are numb, and my whole body is weak. Seven days later, the poison attacked the heart, and the seven orifices bled to death. ”
Chihuo nodded, took out a porcelain bottle from the sleeve of his robe, and shook it in his hand, "This medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it melts when it enters water." If we put it in Cao Jun's water source, then we will be able to enter Chang'an without much effort. ”
After listening to the words of the Red Fire Dao people, some generals sighed and were very skeptical about the effect of the numb tendon powder.
Han Sui looked at Song He, his face full of questions.
How could Song He not understand what Han Sui meant, put down the wine in his hand and stood up, "Generals, this numb tendon scattering effect will have been seen with your own eyes. At that time, the Xiongnu Kohl Department was folded on this hemp tendon. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was immediately a lot of discussion in the big tent.
At that time, Song Jian stood on his own in Caohan, and the Xiongnu Kol Department was menacing from the northern desert.
At first, Song Jian was at a disadvantage, but later, for unknown reasons, overnight, Song Jian wiped out the entire Xiongnu Kol Department, which was rumored to be a good story at the time, and also made Cao Han's reputation even more famous.
The rest of the Xiongnu also died of heart, and then did not go south through the desert, it turned out that this hemp tendon scattered a great achievement.
It's okay that others don't know about it, but Han Sui knows about it, and Song Jian's elimination of the Kol Department is indeed true.
