Zhang He and Guo Huai glanced at each other, and asked cautiously: "General, we haven't figured out from which direction this enemy is going to attack, so we can't fight the enemy on our side, but let the enemy attack on that side." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cao Zhen sighed: "I know, you are all experienced in a hundred battles, and you are not afraid to fight the enemy, and even look forward to fighting the enemy." However, in recent years, the strategists of the court and the central government who were playing with pen and ink always said that the road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong was long, that the first emperor had returned in vain when he went out to Hanzhong, and that the first emperor had also said that Hanzhong was poor and bad, and it was not much fun to crusade against it. In this level, it is foolproof to defend against danger. ”

Then his face changed, and he asked, "Do you think they are right?" ”

Of course, what people said made sense, but as military generals, they also felt that they were always too breathless to defend passively, Zhang He and Guo Huai didn't know how to answer, and they said for a long time: "Yes, there is a little truth." ”

"That's right! Reasonable! Cao Zhen did not object, and said loudly, "Since you also think that we are defending against danger and it is difficult for the enemy to succeed, then, what are you worried about?" I personally led the army to counterattack from the Bao Chuan Road, and you led the army to defend other important cities at the crossings, and fought with the enemy to attrition, so that they could return again in vain. ”

"What the general said is reasonable, it's just that as soon as you lead the army into the Baochuan Road, we have to divide our troops to defend, but we are afraid that the troops will be insufficient." Zhang He hurriedly replied.

Cao Zhen lowered his tone and said softly: "This, of course I will consider it, and if I take the initiative to attack the Shu army, I must have the emperor's approval, I will go to the table now, ask the emperor to decide, and then send reinforcements to help you defend." ”

Guo Huai reminded again: "It's better to wait until you find out the enemy's main attack direction, and then report to the emperor." ”

"Of course I do!" Cao Zhen was a little impatient again.

After a few days, Cao Zhen finally received information that a large number of enemy troops were heading towards Guanzhong in Fu Luo Road.

"Good!" He shouted excitedly, and now he finally determined the enemy's main attack.

He decided to report to Cao Pi immediately, asking for reinforcements, and at the same time let Zhang He and Fei Yao lead the army to defend, let Guo Huai lead the army to meet the enemy in all directions, and immediately led the army to meet the enemy.

At this moment, news came that a large number of enemy troops had also been found in Chencang Road.

Well? Is it a three-way attack?

Cao Zhen hurriedly brought Zhang He and Guo Huai over again, and carefully analyzed and discussed.

"You say, are they attacking in three ways, are they true or false, or are the three ways of people almost the same, and they will all come together in the end?" He also felt uncertain.

Zhang He looked at the map for a long time, and tried to analyze: "Could it be that the enemy wants to join forces in Yixian?" ”

Guo Huai felt that it was impossible: "The enemy is only a partial division this time, and there will not be too many men and horses themselves, and it is impossible to evenly distribute troops on the three routes, and there must be suspicious soldiers on both sides." ”

Cao Zhen snorted coldly: "These guys, there is still growth." Last time, it was a suspicious soldier all the way, a real soldier all the way, this time, there were two suspicious soldiers, is it because the suspicious soldiers didn't work last time, and this time there is an extra road, wanting to make our troops more dispersed? ”

Guo Huai was also looking left and right at the map, constantly comparing with his fingers on the map, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes bowing his head and taking a breath of cold air, and finally, he said to Cao Zhen: "Lord Zhenxi, I think that the enemy's army of Fu Luo Dao must be just a suspicious soldier." ”

Zhang He was a little unconvinced, and immediately asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Guo Huai pointed back and forth on the map and analyzed: "From Fu Luo Road, compared with Chen Cang Road and Bao Chuan Road, it is closer to Chang'an, the enemy comes out from here, our reinforcements can arrive quickly, and it is difficult for them to achieve the goal of surprising victory." I think that with the strength of their partial division, they should have self-knowledge, and it is impossible to think about taking Chang'an in one fell swoop. ”

It seems to make sense, Cao Zhen and Zhang He both nodded secretly, last time, Liu Bei's army of 80,000 threatened the Meridian Valley, but the troops went out of Chencang, and they should not be sure to take Chang'an in one fell swoop, so they thought about occupying Chencang first.

Guo Huai analyzed again: "The enemy wants to come out from the praise, and this news has already been transmitted, and it must be false." ”

Cao Zhen corrected: "Carefully report that the enemy has sent troops from Baochuan Road, you say this is false, will they retreat halfway and march from other directions?" ”

Guo Huai hurriedly changed his words: "I'm not saying that the enemy didn't come from here, but that this road is also a suspicious soldier, as Lord Zhenxi expected." ”

Zhang He was unhappy: "Then according to your analysis, there are suspicious soldiers all the way." The last time the enemy came out of Chencang, he returned in vain, so he would naturally know that after that battle, he would strengthen Chencang's city defense and increase sentry posts. ”

When he said this, Guo Huai also lost some confidence, and only defended: "The art of war is about fiction and reality, who knows, maybe the enemy just thinks that we have repelled them in Chencang, and since then they think that they dare not come from Chencang again, so they have relaxed Chencang's defense." ”

Cao Zhen agreed with Guo Huai's statement, people, you must have backbone, if you lose in Chen Cang, and in turn take down Chen Cang, then it is the most relieving!

Since he couldn't argue, Cao Zhen simply said: "Okay, okay, let's report the enemy situation first, no matter what, we have to wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements." ”

They argued endlessly here, and at this time in Hanzhong, Wei Yan and Ge Liang also argued.

Last night, more than 20,000 horses drove from Chengdu to Hanzhong.

Ge Liang first asked Wei Yan: "Meridian Valley Dao, did you send someone to block it a long time ago?" ”

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Of course, when you were only in Fucheng, I had already blocked all roads. How could I, Wei Yan, let the enemy's meticulous work still be able to enter and exit between Hanzhong and Guanzhong at such a time. ”

Ge Liang nodded, and said to Wei Yan again: "Now that the successor army has arrived, it is time for us to set off." ”

"They've been out for more than ten days, and I can't wait!" Wei Yan rubbed his hands excitedly.

Not only did the follow-up arrive, but Zhang Wei and Wang Ping also arrived.

Wei Yan looked at them and felt strange, now these two people seemed to be Ge Gong's right-hand men when he was fighting, as long as they came, they should really start attacking.

"yes, it's time for us to go, too." Ge Liang looked at the generals and said to Wei Yan: "Now, you have three choices. ”

Haha, you can even let me choose? Wei Yan hurriedly said, "Please command." ”

Ge Liang said: "First, you lead the troops, out of the Meridian Valley, and go to Chang'an......"

"That's what I choose!" Without waiting for Ge Liang to finish speaking, Wei Yan preemptively made a decision.

I knew you would say that! Ge Liang immediately poured cold water on him: "After listening to my words, I went to the vicinity of Chang'an, took a look at Chang'an City, and then immediately led the army back." Because, along the way, they are just suspicious soldiers. (To be continued.) )
