Chapter 282: Asking for Thieves

Cao De mobilized an army of 100,000 and stationed it in two parts to the north of Nanzheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao De's move is undoubtedly to attack Chang'an in the north. Therefore, Yuan Shu, who was east of Cao De, breathed a sigh of relief, while Li Dao and Guo Yan in Chang'an were not so leisurely.

With Li Dao's proposal and Wang Yun's support, Cao De was characterized as a thief!

Thief! It is also the most common word in this time period. In fact, to put it bluntly, officials and thieves at this time are actually the same. They all have a large number of soldiers and horses, they all have the same ambitions, and they are all doing basically the same thing. The difference between them is that officials are subordinate to the emperor, and those who do not move under the emperor's command are naturally thieves.

The war between Cao De and Li Dao Guo Yan. For Li Dao Guo Yan, except for yourself, you are all thieves. And for today's son Liu Xie, hehe, how can there be an official now, except for me Liu Xie, you are all thieves in the whole world.

Cao De is a thief and does not have an advantage in public opinion. Pay attention to everything, a teacher is famous. Therefore, not long after Chang'an's letter against thieves was issued, Cao De also issued a notice informing the world that Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, was held hostage by the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and he raised troops to attack Chang'an in order to rescue the Son of Heaven.

This is a war of public opinion. But in this war without gunpowder, Cao De has an absolute advantage.

The summons of the Son of Heaven sent from Chang'an, and Cao Cao robbed him as soon as he walked out of Hangu Pass to the east, and then the document was thrown into the furnace by Cao Cao.

To the south, Cao De will let this document go far.

To the north, it is the state of annexation. And it was from the northern annexation that the texts of Li Dao and Guo Yan flowed into Jizhou and other places. However, even if the document was finally sent, a large part of the Han people would not know about it. Because, when the princes from all walks of life received this document, although they were full of smiles on the faces of the people who came to deliver it, but after the people left, who knew where the document was thrown.

To the west, it is Li Dao Guo Yan's own territory, so their inscriptions can finally be widely publicized. The streets and alleys were plastered with inscriptions listing Cao De's crimes.

As for Cao De, except for Cao De's inscription sent to the north, the rest of the princes Cao De did not pay attention to them at all.

You love how to drip and how to drip. If you have a kind of competition, you will compete with me.

Since Dong Zhuo's defeat, Cao De has been the best in the world if he is more muscular. Don't look at Cao De only occupying one Yizhou, but Cao De has been operating in Yizhou for five or six years. Cao De was defeated and drilled south, and there was a feeling that you would come to Shudao to try all kinds of sourness.

Therefore, Cao De can attack with confidence, and basically do not have to worry about being attacked.

Li Dao and Guo Yan are not stupid, of course they know that their copy of the text will not have any effect at all, and it is the right thing to defeat Cao De on the battlefield. So, it's time for the army to move.

At present, Li Dao Guo Yan has an army of 160,000. And most of them are in Chang'an.

The obstacle between Nanzheng in Hanzhong and Chang'an is actually Qinling. There are six ancient roads in the Qinling Mountains since ancient times. From west to east, there are Chencang Road, Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road, Meridian Road, Kugu Road and Wuguan Road.

These six ancient roads, starting from Nanzheng, can be walked except for Wuguan Road. Therefore, in fact, Cao De's offensive line has five in addition to Wuguan Dao.

Cao De's current posture is to attack Chang'an through the Meridian Road and the Bao Slope Road. Moreover, Li Dao Guo Yan understands that Cao De's soldiers are strong and strong, as long as Cao De is allowed to fight the Meridian Valley, then this war can be said to be half defeated. Therefore, if you want to defend, you should block Cao De in the Meridian Valley.

Meridian Valley, in fact, is not so easy to walk. Historically, there have been many soldiers from all walks of life who have attacked the enemy through Meridian Valley, but no one has ever succeeded.

Moreover, during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in Cao De's previous life, Wei Yan proposed to lead 10,000 people to attack Chang'an from the Meridian Valley, but Zhuge Liang did not agree. Moreover, Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty attacked the former Qin, just like Wei Yan, who smuggled across the Meridian Valley, but was ambushed by the Qin army before he left the valley.

Therefore, it was actually not so easy for Cao De to attack Chang'an through the Meridian Valley.

However, Cao De's army was stationed at the southern end of the Meridian Valley. Therefore, Li Dao and Guo Yan sent an army of 30,000 to block the north end of the Meridian Valley. Moreover, there are countless ambush points along the Meridian Valley.

Cao De's other army was stationed under the Keigu Pass, so Li Dao and Guo Yan sent another 30,000 troops to be stationed near Wuzhangyuan at the northern end of the Baochuan Road.

As for the other three ancient roads, Li Dao and Guo Yan only sent a team of 5,000 people and stationed them at the north port of the ancient road.

This can be said to be the first line of defense for Li Dao and Guo Yan. If you want to be safe, how can an anti-theft door be enough. And there are not many rivers in the Chang'an area. Moreover, a small river that is not wide or deep is actually a good terrain to resist Cao De's attack. Therefore, Li and Guo Yan mobilized another 30,000 troops and stationed them along Fengshui.

However, when Li Dao and Guo Yan were busy arranging the defense line, a message suddenly came from the east that Cao Cao in the east had raised 30,000 troops and had come to Hangu Pass.

Back then, after Li Dao and Guo Yan were chased by Zhao Yun to close the door of Hangu Pass, they never opened it again. Moreover, in order to prevent Cao Cao from carrying out a surprise attack, Li Dao and Guo Yan had an army of 10,000 troops stationed at Hangu Pass. Moreover, Tongguan, to the west of Hangu Pass, was also stationed with an army of 5,000 people.

Hangu Pass was once also defenseless, with only an army of more than 3,000 people, but at that time, Cao Cao was busy restoring the economy of the Luoyang area, so Cao Cao missed a good opportunity in vain.

Now, Cao De is ready to attack Chang'an, and when the agreement between Cao De and Cao Cao has come, Cao Cao raised 30,000 troops and came to Hangu Pass. Li Dao and Guo Yan also hurriedly made countermeasures, and another 5,000 troops came to Hangu Pass, and another 5,000 troops came to Tongguan.

Today, only 15,000 people remain in Li Daoguo's 130,000-strong army. Moreover, it was not that the two brothers didn't think about attacking the state at the beginning, but Niu Fu and Hu Zhen's reaction was also very fast, and the 20,000 army drove to the border line at once, so it seems that Li Dao Guo Yan is now out of service.

However, after two years, is it true that Li Dao and Guo Yan's army is only 130,000 people? They're actually a bit of a gimmicky too.

In fact, the two of them also secretly trained 30,000 people in Liangzhou, and when the two began to deploy troops, those 30,000 people had already begun to move to Chang'an.

However, at this time, when the army of Li Dao and Guo Yan was constantly moving out of Chang'an City, the undercurrent began again.

The reaction caused by Cao De's actions was not limited to this.

Niu Fu and Hu Zhen in the north realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to take Liangzhou or continue to hijack Liu Xie. But the order from Dong Zhuo behind them was to watch the fire from the other side.

And Yuan Shu, who was in the east of the Han Dynasty, also began to think carefully. Why can we only wait for Cao De to attack us, why don't we take this opportunity to attack Cao De.

As a result, Yuan Shu gathered an army of 30,000 and drove to the city of Dengcheng. And the Cao De defenders of Dengcheng, seeing that the posture was not bad, took advantage of the night to withdraw to Hanzhong.

Therefore, Yuan Shu happily drove into Dengcheng. But there is no armament in the whole of Dengcheng. What looks like a hideous device from the outside is just a fake! However, Yuan Shu was also very happy to get a Deng Cheng for nothing, and finally pulled out the thorn in the flesh of Deng Cheng.

Today's big man, after being quiet for less than half a year, the dispute is about to start again. Now it's calm before the storm.

And the beginning of the storm was Cao De's actions. As soon as Cao De makes a move, the storm will begin!
