The twenty-third episode Cao Cao waved his army to Bowang

Zhang Yi looked at the four newly summoned people, he didn't know any of them, "Who are these people!" ”

"Wang Yansheng is the founder of the Northern Song Dynasty, a fierce general in Shu, known as Wang Jian'er. And the other three were the three loyal generals in the late Ming Dynasty, known as the Lingnan Sanzhong. ”

"Forgive me for being so lonely." Zhang Yi was speechless, even if he had system notes, he still didn't know these people. I don't want to forget it, anyway, there are attributes for reference.

For the system, Zhang Yi is not very satisfied with this, and always summons some people he doesn't know to come out. But think about it, how can he always call someone he knows? Which one of the people he knows summoned is not 90 in stats? How could there be so many people with 90 attributes during the Three Kingdoms period!

Just when Zhang Yi was thinking nonsense, suddenly Xia Luqi walked in, "Lord, Cao Cao has moved to Bowang." ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately looked at the map. To be honest, Bowang City is small, and it is not the best defensive position that he and Li Jing decided at all, Wancheng is.

After decades of construction, Wancheng has become the strongest city in Nanyang.

Starting from Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, and Cao Cao all built Wancheng. The current Wancheng can easily put down 350,000 defenders, plus the city is tall, Zhang Yi has prepared a large amount of grain and grass in Wancheng, which is enough for the 50,000 army to eat for a year.

This is still because the time to take Wancheng is too short, if Zhang Yi operates in Wancheng for a few years, Wancheng may catch up with Shouchun.

"Give an order to Master Shang and his apprentices, if nothing can be done, withdraw the army and return to Wancheng."

"No!" Charucci went to herald.

Although Xiahou Yuan surrounded Bowang, the news could still be passed in. It only takes the fast horse to pass through Xiahou Yuan's blockade to pass the news in.

After Master Shang received the order, he was a little unwilling, but when he saw Cao Cao's army coming, he could only order Deng Fang and Liu Yong to withdraw first.

As soon as Deng Fang and Liu Yong moved, Cao Cao became alert, and he asked Xun Youjiaxu: "The enemy's camp outside the city is preparing to retreat, and it should be that they want to withdraw from Bowang." ”

Xun You said: "Be careful of the enemy's deception!" The enemy's losses were not heavy, and the lord retreated as soon as he came, so there must have been a strategy. ”

Jia Xu also said: "There is a strategy, but it should be retreated to Wancheng." Zhang Yi has always sought stability with his troops, and Bowang City cannot resist the army, so he will inevitably withdraw to avoid Tujia casualties. ”

Cao Cao nodded, but he didn't want to just let Master Shang go. "It's better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his five fingers, is there any way to keep Master Shang and his apprentice?"

Xun You and Jia Xu glanced at each other, Xun You shook his head, but Jia Xu nodded.

Seeing this, Cao Cao knew that both of them had a plan, and immediately asked, "What is the plan?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Zhang Yi's soldiers are elite, and if you want to win a big victory, you must use risks. The lord can let the enemy's army outside the city leave, and then use the army to surround the soldiers in the city, and then charge with tigers and leopards! Master and apprentice Shang will definitely be captured. ”

Xun You said: "This method is too dangerous, although the tiger and leopard riders are elite, but after this battle, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it will take too long to recover." ”

Cao Cao asked, "What if you attack with an infantry army?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head: "With the elite level of Zhang Yijun, I am afraid that it will not be able to take it in ten days and eight days with the impact of the infantry army, not to mention the doubling of the damage, and the time alone is not something that the lord can afford to wait." You must know that it will only take three or four days to come from Wancheng to support! ”

Cao Cao silently pondered for a moment, and quickly made up his mind, "Master Shang is General Zhang Yi, you must be captured!" ”

Cao Cao immediately asked Yu Ban to arrange according to Jia Xu's strategy, and let Deng Fang and Liu Yong withdraw.

The next day, after Master Shang and his apprentices evacuated Bowang, Cao Cao led his headquarters of 10,000 people and stationed in Bowang.

There were not too many ordinary people in Bowang City, and as early as when Shang Shifu conquered here, he migrated most of the population to Yangzhou to develop arable land.

And Master Shang and his apprentices didn't leave much food for them, Zhang Yijun's grain was all in Wancheng, and Bowang only put 20,000 troops for a month's food, and didn't transport grain once a month.

The last time grain was transported to Bowang was more than 20 days ago, so there was not much grain left, all of them were taken away by Master Shang and his apprentices, and there was nothing left for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at Bowang City, which was almost equal to the empty city, and he was also helpless. Population has always been a resource in times of war, but in the war of population plunder, Cao Cao was not Zhang Yi's opponent at all.

Cao Cao said to Jia Xu: "Zhang Yi is the most terrible opponent Cao has ever seen, and he can always calculate what will happen in the long future. ”

Jia Xu said: "The so-called wise man is too worried, and he can avoid immediate worries!" Zhang Yi has been able to develop to this point, and he knew what he wanted from the beginning. ”

Cao Cao said with emotion: "If it weren't for Zhang Yi's betrayal, I would have calmed the world long ago!" ”

Jia Xu was silent, if what Cao Cao said was true, then the world would definitely be calm. But alas, there are no ifs! When Zhang Yi was under Cao Cao, he was just a general.

Not to mention the constraints of the family, just talking about his son Cao Pi, Zhang Yi will not give him peace of mind.

Others don't know, can Jia Xu still know? When Zhang Yi was under Cao Cao, why was he clumsy? It's not because he killed Cao Ang and Dian Wei!

Although many people are speculating, with Jia Xu's understanding of Zhang Yi, this matter is that he didn't run.

Zhang Yi killed Cao Ang, he would definitely be uneasy, he was not Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu had a lot of military horses to support. He's just a pawn, anyone can kill him.

Especially Cao Pi, when Cao Pi looked at Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yi, and even him Jia Xu, there was hatred in his eyes.

Jia Xu only dared to think about these things in his heart, but did not dare to say them. Many people who dare to tell the truth will not end well, and Cao Cao's methods of dealing with those who speak against the tune are very poisonous.

However, since Cao Pi grew up, the situation has improved a lot, and he has become more urban.

But Jia Xu is still not optimistic about the Cao family, even if he contributes to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is old, and he also has a headache, he has been sick in recent years, how many more years can he live? When Cao Cao died, none of Cao Cao's descendants could replace Cao Cao.

Cao Picheng's government is sufficient, but his virtue is not enough; Cao Zhi's virtue is enough, but his talent is insufficient; Cao Chong's virtue and talent are enough, but he is too young.

Cao Cao himself is not Zhang Yi's opponent, let alone these people who are not as good as Cao Cao?

Before Master Shang and his apprentices had withdrawn for ten miles, they were surrounded by Cao's army from all directions. Seeing this, Master Shang and his apprentice immediately asked people to form a circle with chariots and horses and defend on the spot.

Yu Ban commanded Cao soldiers in all directions to move closer to the circle formation, not giving him any chance to escape.
