Chapter 314: Courage? pressure
On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head, the light rain, the flowers began to bloom, outside the city of Jiyin, Hao Meng's hometown revisited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
From the tenth day of the first month to the second day of the second month of February, it was only more than 20 days before and after, and the six counties of Xuzhou were included in Hao Meng's pocket without much effort, and Yanzhou only left a corner of Chenliu County and the northern part of Dongjun, which had not yet been conquered.
Originally, Hao Meng thought that when he attacked Yanzhou, he would have a fight with Cao **, but he didn't expect the attack to be extremely smooth.
Although every city needs to be attacked, there are not many soldiers and horses stationed in every city in Yanzhou, and the siege of the city is often one city a day, or several cities a day.
Jiyin County, as Cao Cao's old nest, the city is high and deep, and there are 5,000 elites in the city, plus 20,000 young and strong auxiliary soldiers to defend the city.
In anyone's opinion, this kind of fortified city, with so many troops, and strong bows and crossbows full of walls, it is still impossible for Hao Meng to conquer it in a short time.
This Jiyin City is the nail that Cao Cao deliberately left behind, wanting to delay Hao Meng for a while.
In fact, for Hao Meng, if he wants to capture Jiyin City, he only needs twenty dragon cannon guards to come to ten rounds of dragon cannons, and this Jiyin City will be breached. It's just that the bed crossbow on the city wall will inevitably cause a lot of damage to Hao Meng's personal guards.
It's a bit more than worth the cost.
In the light rain in the past few days, Hao Meng just let the whole army rest and recuperate.
Attacking the city for more than 20 days in a row, although there were no big battles, the daily march was enough for ordinary soldiers to work hard. With a few days of light rain, it is necessary to let the whole army rest and recuperate.
ā¦ā¦
In the camp outside the city, Hao Meng and Cai Wenji sat down for a drink, and the little princess had already been sent out to play by Hao Meng.
"This Cao Cao is really courageous, the land of the four counties of Yanzhou actually said that he would let it go, and then the whole army went west." Hao Meng drank a glass of wine and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If it were other princes, they would almost control the land of Sanzhou at this time, but I am afraid that they would have been arrogant a long time ago.
Although Hao Meng is also a little arrogant, in the dead of night, he is not full of ambition to dominate the world. However, after dreaming back at midnight, Hao Meng deeply understood a truth: the moon is full and overflowing!
And this land of Yanzhou is not so much a desperate capture by the soldiers under his command, but a "gift" by Cao Cao. There are almost sixty or seventy cities in the entire Yanzhou, and Hao Meng has fought every city he captures, but it is not a big battle.
The Cao army defending the city in the city is more likely to delay Hao Meng's march!
Cao Cao was able to use the land and city of a state to slow down his Hao Meng's pace, and it didn't mean to let Hao Meng eat and support, and he was replaced by other princes, I'm afraid that no one would be reluctant, right?
This also shows Cao Cao's courage.
Cai Wenji filled Hao Meng's empty cup with wine and said with a smile: "No matter how bold he Cao Mengde is, after we take Chenliu County again, Fujun will be the lord of the three states." ā
"At this point, it is time for the husband to stop, work steadily, and solve our two current thorny problems."
"One problem is the recruitment of qualified military talents, and the other is the pressure from Cao Cao."
"Before the war, if the husband had a qualified military advisor, even if it was like Xun Yu, he should be able to see the pros and cons of this battle, and know Cao Mengde's plan in advance."
"If we knew in advance that Cao Mengde wanted to lose Yanzhou and go west to Yongliang, we could use those captives in the dungeon to join forces and make it difficult for Cao Cao to advance near the Tiger Prison Pass."
"It's just that it's too late to say anything at this time, and Chang'an is only one step away from Cao Mengde's soldiers. Although we can capture Chenliu County soon, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and it is estimated that it will be in the last few days. ā
"And that's one of our trickier problems."
Cai Wenji smiled bitterly.
In fact, with Cai Wenji's wisdom, he had long discovered that Hao Meng's command lacked military advisors. It's a pity that good military advisors are hard to find, and many literati in this world are currently reluctant to go out of their careers.
If there is a military advisor, even if it is a real dog-headed military advisor, the various conspiracies and tricks of other princes against Hao Meng can be solved to some extent. No matter how bad it is, the murder on the wedding night must have been able to find some clues a long time ago.
ā¦ā¦
After adding another glass of wine to Hao Meng, Cai Wenji said again: "Once Cao Cao coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he will inevitably reward the princes of the whole world with a large number of official titles." When the time comes, I am afraid that the position of a general will be indispensable. ā
Hao Meng smiled: "This, husband knows." ā
"Cao Cao will reward the princes of the world at that time, and the princes who receive the edict must be grateful. Regardless of whether he is grateful to Cao Cao or not, as long as there are princes who express their gratitude, they will almost recognize that Cao Cao's ruling of the Son of Heaven is legitimate. ā
watched "Three Kingdoms" in his previous life, and Hao Meng still knew it well in this section.
"Again, give us an edict first, and we'll take it; Then give us a bad edict, or let us cut the land, or let us pay food, or let us attack other princes, and then we will accept it or not? ā
Cai Wenji glanced at Hao Meng unexpectedly, and said with a smile: "Since the husband has seen this section, then the husband must have a way to deal with it, right?" ā
The way to deal with ghosts, Yuan Shao in "Three Kingdoms", and all the princes of the world, were all miserable by this incident at the beginning, what can Hao Meng do?
Hao Meng smiled bitterly: "The soldiers will just block the water and cover the earth." ā
"Fortunately, don't we have an eldest princess by our side, and when the time comes, we can also ask the eldest princess to make a decree, so that we can have a fight with Cao Cao, and we can fight more or less, right?"
ā¦ā¦
At that time, although it was also raining lightly in Guanzhong, Cao Cao's march did not stop.
After withdrawing from Wancheng, Cao Cao quickly swept away Hanoi County, Hedong County, and the southern part of Hanoi County; At this time, it was raining to use troops against Chang'an.
However, after Wancheng, Cao Cao encountered another difficult bone.
Although a large area east of Chang'an was captured by Cao Cao, and even many Western Liang troops surrendered without a fight, Xu Rong, who was stationed at Hangu Pass, did not surrender to Cao Cao. Even, Cao Cao was hit with a full head in Hangu Pass.
Fortunately, Cao Cao entered the pass from Nanyang, and he didn't need to conquer Hangu Pass to march into Chang'an.
Therefore, he ordered Cao Ren to leave a battalion of soldiers and horses east of Hangu Pass, and then asked Li Dian to garrison a group of soldiers and horses west of Hangu Pass, and after besieging Hangu Pass, Cao Cao was relieved to boldly knock Chang'an.
Therefore, he ordered Cao Ren to leave a battalion of soldiers and horses east of Hangu Pass, and then asked Li Dian to garrison a group of soldiers and horses west of Hangu Pass, and after besieging Hangu Pass, Cao Cao was relieved to boldly knock Chang'an.
Name: Rescue the Son of Heaven from the dire misery of the Xiliang Rebellion!
As for Xu Rong of Hangu Pass, he is just good at defending the city and fighting out of the pass, Cao Cao is still eager to do it!
