Chapter 329: A two-pronged approach

Late that night, thousands of people in Chengdu had fallen asleep, but the hall in Liu Feng's mansion, which was the lord of the city, was still brightly lit, and everyone was gathering here to discuss the battle to capture Shangyong.

In fact, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others were very puzzled about why Liu Feng did not choose to directly send troops to Hanzhong nearby, but they who had been following Liu Feng's side for a short time knew that when Liu Feng, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu were all here, the decision they made must be the most favorable.

And for Shangyong, Zhao Yun has a very urgent desire, after all, Shangyong was a place at Liu Feng's fingertips at the beginning, and the reason why he failed to win Shangyong was just to protect Zhao Yun's reputation, so Zhao Yun very much wanted to help Liu Feng take down the mediocre land at the moment when the period of one year came, only in this way, he would not absolutely owe Liu Feng in his heart, if Shangyong did not take it personally, then this matter would definitely be a piece of heart disease that would always exist in Zhao Yun's heart.

Therefore, when he heard that Liu Feng wanted to take the Mean Land, Zhao Yun's eyes were full of cold light, and such a look announced to the people present that the main general had to be Zhao Zilong to capture the Mean Land this time.

For the entanglement between Zhao Yun and Shangyong, Ma Chao has already known, so when he looks at Zhao Yun's expression, Ma Chao can only smile helplessly, and at first glance, he no longer wants to compete with Zhao Yun for the position of the main general, Ma Chao's biggest interest now is to watch the war horse cubs he came back from the Qiang people grow up one by one, and become a real war horse, he is silently waiting for some time before his cavalry can really be comparable to Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry, and even surpass Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry.

Liu Feng naturally knew a lot about the appeal in Zhao Yun's heart, and as early as when he received Cao Zhi's letter, the candidate and process of conquering the mediocre had already been formed in his mind.

After introducing the purpose of this battle, Liu Fenghuo stood up and ordered several generals in front of him: "This time to go to Shangyong, with General Zhao Yun as the main commander, Wei Yan, Meng Dafuzhi, you and others led 60,000 elite soldiers, the whole army tonight, set off early tomorrow morning, take the Yong, take the Yong when you take the law of surprise attack, General Zhao Yun is already very familiar with the land of the Yong, when the time comes, just listen to Zhao Yun's orders, after capturing the land of the Yong, only leave 10,000 defenders in the Yong, and then go directly to Weixing County, If you can take the land of Weixing County, it will be a great achievement! ”

With a few simple words, Liu Feng assigned the task of Zhao Yun and others this time, he knew that with Zhao Yun's understanding of the land of the mediocre and Zhuge Liang's army, he did not need to interfere too much in this battle, if he intervened too much, he could not let Zhao Yun let go, since he had decided to let Zhao Yun find his own field in the land of the mediocre, then Liu Feng naturally must give Zhao Yun the greatest trust and freedom, and this is Liu Feng's mastery of the subordinate.

Just when Zhao Yun was full of gratitude and thanked Liu Feng and wanted to leave, Liu Feng raised his hand to stop everyone, and then turned his head to look at Ma Chao, who looked idle, and said: "General Meng Qi and leave slowly, you also want to take my Yizhou elite cavalry to participate in this battle." ”

Ma Chao's face was full of surprise when he heard this, according to Liu Feng's previous arrangement, he raided Shangyong, and then captured Wei Xing, which was already a matter of nine out of ten, and then let Ma Chao participate in it at this time, Ma Chao didn't know what Liu Feng meant, Shangyong was surrounded by lofty mountains, and the cavalry brigade led by Ma Chao could not give full play to its own strength, so Ma Chao did not say anything for a while, but looked at Liu Feng in surprise.

"General Meng Qi should not be surprised, this time General Zilong attacked Wei Xing in the hands of the Cao family from Shangyong, and General Meng Qi still needs to cooperate with one or two."

"Dare to ask the lord, how to cooperate, the lord has orders, and he obeys his orders." Although Ma Chao still didn't know how to use the cavalry under his command to cooperate with Zhao Yun, since Liu Feng had given the order, Ma Chao, who was resolute and resolute, naturally had no reason not to obey. At that moment, he looked at Liu Feng with his hands in fists, just waiting for Liu Feng to speak.

Liu Feng saw Ma Chao's nervous expression, and couldn't help but smile and said: "General Meng Qi doesn't have to be like this, this time he will definitely not let General Meng Qi go to the mountains of Shangyong, and General Meng Qi does not need to set off with General Zilong, as long as I wait for a good time, probably when General Zilong takes Shangyong, General Meng Qi will lead 5,000 light cavalry out of Yangping Pass in Hanzhong, but he does not want to capture Yongzhou from Hanzhong, once General Meng Qi enters the territory of the Cao family, he will almost certainly encounter an ambush, at this time the general only needs to make a vanguard force, The main task of General Meng Qi this time is not to kill the enemy, but to contain the enemy ambush, and the second is to keep his own cavalry, not to lose a single soldier, so that it can be regarded as perfect. ”

"Ambush? Chao carefully obeys the orders of the lord, if there are really some ambushes outside Hanzhong, Chao will lead them out! Obviously, Ma Chao was very puzzled by Liu Feng's ambush, but since Liu Feng said that there were ambushes here, Ma Chao believed in his heart that there would indeed be ambushes here.

After the soldiers and horses of the two roads were settled, Liu Feng and Zhao Yun and Ma Chao agreed on the attack time, and then let the two go to prepare, Liu Feng believed that in this way, not only can get the land of Shangyong and Wei Xing, but also can see if Cao Zhi really set up an ambush on the border of Hanzhong, it is a win-win strategy, Liu Feng even thought that once Ma Chao found that Cao Zhi did not set up an ambush, he could also leave a follow-up move, and directly send Huang Zhong to lead the Hanzhong defenders to go, and then he could attack in the land of Yongzhou.

And when Liu Feng sent troops overnight, Zhuge Liang in Xiangyang and Sun Quan in Jiangdong were not idle, and similarly, a team of people and horses were ready to go, as if there were endless treasures in the north waiting for them to go and explore.

But the difference is that Sun Quan did send the young right governor Lu Xun to go north in Hefei, but Zhuge Liang did not order Zhang Fei, the commander of this battle, to directly attack Nanyang from Xiangyang, which was very close.

At this time, Zhang Fei was still arguing with Zhuge Liang for the last time.

"Why does the military division have to compete with Lu Xun for the land of Hefei, even if he wins Hefei, the distance between him and our army's territory is not close, and it cannot be echoed, it is better to take this opportunity to take Nanyang and make plans."

"Although our army has taken a lot of advantage in the competition with Sun Quan, how can Yide not know that our army can no longer withstand losses, so this expedition will not be able to risk half a cent."
