Even Cao Cao was dizzy, not to mention the generals under Cao Cao, staring at Xi Zhicai with big and godless eyes, as if to say: "Master Strategist, can you talk well?" Don't show off your IQ anymore, okay? ”

Xi Zhicai slowly spoke: "It is precisely because of the significance of rescuing Chang'an that we have to give up." For what we can see, the other princes can see. For example, the Nanyang Army! ”

"General Wei He Xian?" Cao Cao suddenly frowned and asked.

"Yes! In Situ Wangyun's Qinwang order, it is the princes of the world who are called. If the lord can receive it, presumably Nanyang will definitely receive it too. If the two armies meet outside Chang'an City, can the lord be confident that he can suppress the Nanyang army? ”

Facing Xi Zhicai's rhetorical question, Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Yanzhou Xinding is not as good as He's running Nanyang for nearly ten years. The Yanzhou army is newly expanded, and it may be more than enough to fight the Yellow Turban thieves, and they want to fight against the veteran Nanyang army...... Difficult! ”

"How can the lord increase the popularity of others and destroy the prestige of his own family! Although my Yanzhou Army has not been in the army for a long time, it is brave and will never be inferior to the Nanyang Army! People say, right? Hearing that Cao Cao raised the Nanyang Army and belittled the Yanzhou Army, but Li Dian, who had just joined Cao Cao, quit, he immediately jumped out and said: I am very good!

Li Dian thought that his actions would be supported by most of the generals, because the generals were good-looking, and no one would admit that their soldiers were worse than others'. But this time, Li Dian obviously guessed wrong. Whether it was Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan brothers, or Cao Ren and Cao Hong, they did not express their position, but looked at him with a strange look.

Li Dian was very embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage. Cao Cao saw Li Dian's predicament, and said with a smile: "Man Cheng is new, and his sharpness is commendable!" But I'm afraid it's not familiar with the Nanyang Army, so there are some biases, you sit down, after you have seen the combat strength of the Nanyang Army in the future, you will find that the name of the Nanyang Strong Army is by no means in vain! ”

With Cao Cao helping him round the field, Li Dian hurriedly sat down with his fists folded. But in private, Li Dian was still unconvinced, and quietly asked Cao Hongdao, who was closest to him: "Is the Nanyang Army really that powerful?" ”

Cao Hong thought for a while, nodded and said, "I can't think of any way to defeat them!" ”

Li Dian was a little shocked: As Cao Cao's brother and general, Cao Hong followed Cao Cao to participate in no less than 100 battles, which can be said to be well-informed, and it is definitely not easy for the Nanyang Army to say such an evaluation from his mouth.

After Li Dian sat down, Xi Zhicai continued: "Let's look at the rescue of Qingzhou again." Assassin Shi Jiao and the poor generals, in vain, wasted the excellent conditions of Qingzhou's soldiers with many sharp weapons and sufficient food, causing yellow turban thieves to rise everywhere and the people's livelihood to be uneasy. This is a God-given opportunity, and we must not take it! “

When Cao Cao heard this, he already had a plan in his heart, and then asked a few generals who supported the rescue of Chang'an: "Yuan Rang, Miaocai, do you still have any objections?" ”

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan both shook their heads and said: "The military advisor is talented, every sentence is reasonable!" We will support the capture of Qingzhou, and then slowly figure it out! ”

"Good!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and said: "Then fight hard and rescue Qingzhou!" “

"The lord is wise!" The generals stood up one after another and bowed in response.

……

What Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai didn't expect was that He Xian had already rushed to Chang'an and was participating in the battle to defend Chang'an City. But they didn't guess all wrong, and Wang Yun's Qinwang order also arrived in Luoyang and Nanyang.

After Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Caisi learned the news, they were ready to move and wanted to re-lead the troops to Chang'an, but they were suppressed by Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu rejected the ambition of the four generals on the grounds that Luoyang was newly determined, and sending troops would ruin the days that had finally stabilized. Xu Huang was directly transferred back to Luoyang from the Tiger Prison Pass, in case the four generals of Bai Bo made a mistake, and the six relatives did not recognize him.

Luoyang is unstable, so Cheng Yu can't mobilize troops to aid Chang'an, and all the pressure can only be thrown to Guo Jia, who is sitting in Nanyang. After weighing it, Guo Jia decided to order Wenpin to lead 10,000 Nanyang veterans and 30,000 Nanyang recruits to secretly go out to rescue Chang'an. As a result, only the seven thousand Nanyang veterans brought back from Luoyang by Gan Ning were left in the Nanyang area; In the Jingzhou area, there were 10,000 veterans of Wenxiang left, as well as some county soldiers from various counties. He Xian's lair has never been so empty.

Just in case, Guo Jia integrated the county soldiers in Nanyang counties and strengthened patrols at all levels. Many of the county soldiers in Nanyang are veterans who have been eliminated from the Nanyang army, and many of these veterans are disabled but have rich combat experience. Guo Jia did not ask them to defend against the enemy, but only needed them to keep their eyes open, enhance their awareness of reconnaissance, and promptly report the people who appeared in their jurisdictions, especially the troops that appeared in formation.

……

In the third year of the Han Dynasty (192 AD), the Western Liang Army besieged Chang'an City for more than two months. The Nanyang reinforcements, known as 100,000, had already passed through Hangu Pass and marched towards Chang'an under the leadership of Xu Rong. After Zhang Ji got the news, he urgently summoned Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Niu Fu to the big tent to discuss.

"Nanyang reinforcements are coming, but our army is sleepy and lacking horses, and there is not much food and grass, so we can't fight for a long time. What do you have to do? "Zhang Ji was the strongest after annexing Fan Chou, so as the leading brother, he took the upper seat and asked the generals.

Niu Fu stood up and said: "I might as well divide the troops, first defeat the Nanyang reinforcements, and take the heavy grain and grass of the reinforcements, won't there be a supplement?" ”

Niu Fu is standing and talking without backache, there are only more than 10,000 people under his command now, and he can fight if he wants to, and he can retreat at any time if he doesn't want to fight. But Ma Teng, Han Sui has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhang Ji has more than 60,000 soldiers and horses. If the battle to attack the reinforcements in Nanyang is unfavorable and the grain and grass are exhausted, it will be the consequence of the camp roaring and the army breaking up anytime and anywhere. The family money that the three of them have worked hard to accumulate is reluctant to take this risk.

"This plan is not appropriate, the Nanyang army has always been war-resistant, and with the help of Xu Rong, a person who is a backbone, if you can't win quickly, the grain and grass will run out, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhang Ji immediately vetoed Niu Fu's opinion.

"If you can't fight, then you can only withdraw to Liangzhou first, and then slowly try to do it?" Ma Teng asked.

Zhang Ji looked at Han Sui, who squinted his eyes and did not speak. Among the generals of Xiliang, only Han Sui is a wise general, and his intelligence value is higher than that of force. Han Sui's opinion is of great reference value among several people.

"Actually, we have another choice!" Han Sui said slowly.

Ma Teng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What other choice?" ”

Han Sui replied: "Drop!" ”

"Down? Drop whom? Fan Chou wanted to surrender after the defeat, but what was the result? It's a dry bone in the grave! Ma Teng said excitedly, "Wang Yun Lao'er will not let us go!" ”

"Shou Cheng is not in a hurry, and listen to Wen Yue to finish speaking!" Zhang Ji hurriedly came out to play a round.
