419. Surrender by deception, lure the enemy, and burn Bowangpo

Zhu Wei listened to Jia Xu's words, and naturally understood the meaning of distant friendship and close attack.

In Jia Xu's opinion, since Zhu Wei is more jealous of Cao Cao, then weaken Cao Cao first, regardless of whether Cao Cao will compete with Yuan Shao in the future, anyway, get rid of Cao Cao, who is close to Zhu Wei's side, first, and then have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in the future.

Zhu Wei must also have the strength and spirit to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, so that he can truly have the courage to unify the world.

Always put the results you want to get on other people's actions, that is definitely a kind of weak people's careful thinking, and will eventually be eliminated by the strong who dare to fight, you don't have the ability to fight, how can others give you a chance to grab it?

Others will only fight stronger and stronger, and while you hide next to you and want to steal cheap, it is also equivalent to standing still and watching others get stronger and stronger.

So at this moment, Zhu Wei felt that what Jia Xu said was also reasonable, long-distance and close-range attacks were originally a yang strategy to encroach on the world step by step, which was more stable than the conspiracy of hoping that others would fight each other and seek the benefits of the fisherman.

At the moment, Zhu Wei didn't think about anything else, and made up his mind to deal with the more than 20,000 Cao soldiers commanded by Xiahou Yuan, and getting rid of so many Cao soldiers was also a loss for Cao Cao.

"Surrender, lure the enemy, burn Bowangpo!"

Jia Xu looked at Zhu Wei and first said a few simple points, and then explained to Zhu Wei in detail the plan he came up with, which is almost like this.

Jia Xu is not a poisoner with a high intelligence of 94, obviously he has actually thought of this strategy in Zhang Xiujun before, but he has not yet contacted Zhu Wei's side, so naturally there is no way to determine the strategy and use it.

And now this strategy can be implemented, and with his explanation of Zhu Wei, this strategy seems to be becoming more and more mature.

Zhu Wei nodded again and again when he heard this, of course, Jia Xu's strategy is only his unilateral idea now, whether it can be achieved depends on whether Xiahou Yuan will fall into the plan, and whether Cheng Yu will see through this plan.

However, according to what Jia Xu said, even if this strategy fails, it will not hurt, and it is a big deal to have a decisive battle with Xiahou Yuan's army in Wancheng, after all, the combined forces of Zhu Wei and Zhang Xiu are far more than Xiahou Yuan's.

Even if the two sides face off in Wancheng, they are actually not afraid of Xiahou Yuan's troops, but they may not be able to completely annihilate Xiahou Yuan's more than 20,000 troops at that time.

In the end, Zhu Wei agreed to Jia Xu's plan, so Jia Xu sent someone back to Wancheng, first let Zhang Xiu act according to the plan, and then Jia Xu arranged for Zhu Wei's army to go to Wancheng.

Now that Zhang Xiu has completely thrown himself into Zhu Wei, he will naturally not keep Zhu Wei's army out of Wancheng.

And if Zhu Wei's army is not allowed to enter Wancheng, how can Zhu Wei be convinced that Zhang Xiu is sincerely surrendering, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu don't know that Zhu Wei can know their loyalty, so letting Zhu Wei's army enter Wancheng is also Zhang Xiu's sincerity.

Although Zhang Xiu also let Cao Cao enter Wancheng before, expressing his sincerity in surrendering, he finally rebelled again and almost blocked Cao Cao in Wancheng, but Zhu Wei naturally would not make such a mistake, if Zhu Wei's army entered Wancheng, of course, Zhang Xiu would not have a chance to rebel.

At this time, Zhu Wei also summoned Huang Yueying, Yi and others to discuss with Jia Xu about entering Wancheng, and at the same time, according to Jia Xu's strategy, make corresponding military deployment arrangements.

After such a small half an hour, Zhu Wei's central military camp continued to advance towards Wancheng, preparing to enter Wancheng, while Zhang Xiu's main force of Wancheng soldiers and horses withdrew from Wancheng first and went in the direction of Bowangpo.

At the same time, Zhu Wei's side also sent the military order to the Xionglu camp Pang Yan, and then according to Jia Xu's strategy, the Yi nationality assisted Pang Yan to move the Xionglu camp to the direction of Bowangpo.

In addition, Zhu Wei sent military orders to Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan, and the light cavalry they commanded would also be stationed outside Wancheng, and they would accept the military orders from Zhu Wei's side to attack at any time, either to support Bowangpo's side, or to chase and defeat the retreating Cao army on Bowangpo's side.

In this way, almost in the evening of this day, Zhu Wei's Chinese military camp arrived at Wancheng.

This is located in Wancheng of Nanyang County, is also an ancient city with a long history, its location is in the upper reaches of the Han River, the source of the Huai River, there are Qinling Mountains, Funiu Mountain in the north, Daba Mountain, Wudang Mountain in the west, Tongbai Mountain, Dabie Mountain in the east, can be regarded as standing on a basin plain surrounded by mountains on three sides, opening to the south in the middle.

It can be said that Wancheng has high mountains and mountains to control and strangle, and there are wide cities and plains to garrison troops, and it is a natural city of shape and victory.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State in the south became stronger and stronger, and successively annexed the countries in the Han River Basin to the north, and occupied this land that had both fertile and beautiful soil and the convenience of rivers, and then the Chu State built Wanyi here, as a frontier military town in the Central Plains, which is also the original origin of Wancheng.

Therefore, in a military and strategic sense, Wancheng can become the frontier position of the southern forces to develop to the north, and it is also an important gateway for the northern forces to open up to the south.

In terms of the current military and strategic significance of Wancheng to Cao Cao in the north, whoever occupies Wancheng will pose a threat to Cao Cao's Xu Capital, which holds the Son of Heaven hostage.

In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, after Liu Bei fled from Yuzhou to Jingzhou to attach himself to Liu Biao, he was ordered by Liu Biao to take advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Yuan Shang in the north, and tried to send troops from Xinye to attack Xudu.

Liu Bei's army had already hit near Yexian at the beginning, and it was not far from Xudu, so Cao Cao had to transfer Xiahoudun as the main general, Yu Ban and Li Dian as deputy generals, and sent troops to counterattack Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's troops were insufficient, and the Cao army under the command of Xiahoudun was unable to attack again, so he could only retreat the front and choose to confront the Cao army at Bowangpo.

After that, Liu Bei burned his own camp in Bowangpo and lured the enemy to go deeper, luring Xiahoudun to pursue and ambush in Bowangpo, if Liu Bei's troops were not too small, it is estimated that he could also take advantage of this battle to defeat Cao's army and threaten the safety of Xu Du again.

This is also the real battle of Bowangpo in history, but later in the romance, this battle was put on Zhuge Liang's head, in fact, Zhuge Liang had not been invited out of the mountains by Liu Bei at this time.

Moreover, this battle was started by Liu Bei on his own initiative, not that Cao Cao had the intention to launch the battle of southern invasion, and the time was far earlier than the Battle of Chibi.

But the occurrence of this battle also shows that Liu Bei, who occupies the side of Nanyang Xinye, can threaten Xu Du with only a few thousand troops under his command, and Wancheng is in the north of Xinye, closer to the direction of Xu Du, which shows that occupying Wancheng will naturally pose a greater threat to Cao Cao's Xu Capital where the Son of Heaven is placed.

But at the same time, if Cao Cao occupies Wancheng, he can also directly kill Xiangyang and the south through Wancheng.

Before the Battle of Chibi in the original history, Cao Cao accepted Xun Yu's opinion, first took a shortcut and raided lightly, rushed to the land of Wan and Ye, and captured these two cities, which was equivalent to opening the door to Jingzhou, and then Cao Cao launched a large army to Xinye and Xiangyang, which frightened Liu Cong of Jingzhou to surrender directly.

At this time, Liu Bei happened to be stationed in Fancheng, north of Xiangyang City, and was originally recruited by Liu Biao, thinking that Liu Biao would assist his son Liu Cong.

But I didn't expect Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao directly with Xiangyang City, so that Liu Bei could not resist Cao Cao's army only by relying on Fancheng, so he had to abandon Fancheng and raise troops to flee south.

Of course, this is also why Cao Cao has conquered Nanyang many times before, even if his eldest son was killed by Zhang Xiu, he is willing to accept Zhang Xiu's military intention to surrender again.

In short, now that Zhu Wei is marching to occupy Wancheng, it is actually of great strategic significance......
