The chaos in the south also calmed down with the death of Zhou Yu, and Cao Cao also achieved his goal, severely damaging Jiangdong's morale, and as soon as Zhou Yu died, at least for a year or two, Jiangdong was unable to go north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And not only that, because Jiangdong attacked Xichuan, Zhang Xiang also sent support.

Zhang Xiang didn't think that Jiangdong could take Xichuan, let alone the Jiangdong Army, even if it was Cao's army, it was impossible to easily take Xichuan, where the geographical advantage was simply unique.

Zhang Xiang did this to be prepared, and Yizhou was too important to Zhang Xiang.

At least half of the grain and grass in the army comes from Yizhou, not that the whole north is not as good as one Yizhou, but the grain and grass in Yizhou are easier to transport to the Central Plains, where it is a warship, and the grain and grass arrive a day earlier, and the soldiers can rest assured.

The soldiers fought on the battlefield, to put it bluntly, just to eat.

As long as they are allowed to see the grain and grass, they will have morale and be a group of foodies.

But when Zhang Xiang did this, he happened to fall into Cao Cao's arms, Zhuge Liang's plan was not just as simple as hitting Jiangdong hard, Zhuge Liang's strategy has always been closely linked, one after another.

Under Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang rarely had a chance to show his strengths.

But under Cao Cao, although Zhuge Liang was a little helpless, Cao Cao could indeed let him show his strengths, Zhuge Liang was not missing, even if it was how to use the grain and grass in the army, he knew it.

The most suitable is an upright tactic, which is the opposite of Guo Jia.

Now Zhuge Liang has let go of his hands and feet, like a tiger, and finally found its sharp teeth, but he is ready to eat people at any time.

Zhuge Liang's first target is Jiangdong, which is just a small test, Zhang Xiang is his main dish, although Yizhou is connected to Yongzhou, but there are very few connected territories.

The two states are close to Sili, and Sili is still a terra nullius.

can be used by people on both sides, Cao Jun has always been a little passive in front of Zhang Xiang before.

Zhang Xiang's army is south, and there are a large number of cavalry, Cao Cao's cavalry are all elite soldiers, but Zhang Xiang's cavalry is not necessarily, Zhang Xiang has too many war horses, and many war horses are idle.

After all, Zhang Xiang owns the entire north, and only the best war horses can enter the army.

Therefore, among Zhang Xiang's cavalry, many of them are miscellaneous soldiers, even if they are auxiliary soldiers among the foot soldiers, but they can't be seen without fighting, so Cao Jun easily did not dare to fight with Zhang Xiang's army.

But this time, Cao Jun took the initiative to attack under the instruction of Zhuge Liang and directly attacked the junction of Yizhou and Yongzhou.

Zhuge Liang has never made a move easily, but once he makes a move, it must be done once and for all, and he can't give others a chance to turn over, so Cao Jun directly ambushed Zhang Xiang's support troops.

Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Zhang Xiang sent more soldiers in the past.

The generals who didn't have anything to do with it, it was because of this that Cao Jun easily succeeded, and directly let Cao Jun cut off the connection between Yizhou and Yongzhou, and Cao Jun also poured into Sili.

Si Li used to be the richest state and county in the Han Dynasty.

Although it is now down, but the tiger is still dead, those cities are good, even if Luoyang City is burned, it still stands on the ground, but it is just a little ugly.

Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao did not attack Si Li, they wanted to form a buffer between the territories of the two parties.

But over time, the two sides have become accustomed to not possessing the division.

Zhuge Liang will not give up the territory of Si Li, he wants to break the habits of both sides, everyone in the world knows that in the northern Central Plains, the best state and county is Jizhou, which was the case before.

But in the past, Si Li was never counted, because there was the capital Luoyang among the Si Li.

Everyone was afraid of taboos, did not dare to make this comparison, and did not even dare to speak.

There are no other princes in the whole world, unlike in the past, when there were close to twenty princes at most, now there are only two princes who can really succeed, that is Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao.

Are you still afraid of tearing your face? It has long been torn, and it will not die.

The most important thing in fighting with the northern cavalry is morale, once the morale is lost, this battle is equivalent to losing half of the battle, so you can only strike first to be strong, and then to suffer.

Let the north beat morale, it is easy to lose again and again, and there is no way to fight back.

That's why Zhuge Liang will strike first, and as soon as he makes a move, he will isolate Yizhou, Zhuge Liang naturally will not plan to attack Yizhou, that is, he will ask for hardship.

From Yizhou to the north, there are only a few roads, the land of Yizhou Lock Dragon is not in vain, Zhuge Liang did this to cut off Zhang Xiang's supply of grain and grass, as for Jiaozhou Zhuge Liang did not pay attention to it at all.

Zhuge Liang had been to Jiaozhou, so he naturally knew that there was nothing to use there.

Cao Jun's move really caught Zhang Xiang off guard, Zhang Xiang didn't know that Cao Jun sent troops, but didn't know Cao Jun's attempt to send troops, whether it was Yizhou or Yongzhou, Zhang Xiang deployed a large number of troops.

That's why Zhang Xiang will take the unchanged as the ever-changing, and wait and see the changes.

Because of this, it will fall into a passive state, the matter of grain and grass is easy to solve, and now Zhang Xiang's army has enough grain and grass, and there is no need to replenish grain and grass in a short time.

It is completely possible to requisition the grain and grass in the north, Zhang Xiang has been in Tuntian for so many years, and the Mintun army has it, and now it can also play a role.

The most important thing is morale, it can also be said to be the general trend, Si Li was very inconspicuous in the late Han Dynasty, but he was the absolute center, otherwise Luoyang would not be the capital of so many dynasties.

Once you take possession of the division, it is equivalent to having the initiative in the general trend.

When Si Li has no owner, this is not visible at all, but once Cao Jun takes possession, it is a matter of self-determination, and Zhang Xiang also discovered for the first time that Si Li is so important.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiang had two eyes in his heart before, that is, the two levels of the Bishui Tiger Prison.

Among these two passes, Zhang Xiang's eyeliner, Cao Cao got Luoyang, Zhang Xiang took these two passes in his arms, Zhang Xiang was most afraid of attacking Jiancheng, and the casualties were immeasurable.

Coupled with the Bishui Pass and the Tiger Prison Pass, Zhang Xiang was deeply impressed.

That's why Zhang Xiang put a little more thought, but he didn't expect it to really come in handy, even if Cao Jun took possession of all the subordinates, as long as there were two passes in hand, Zhang Xiang was not afraid of him.

Cao Cao was also desperate this time, and he fully supported Zhuge Liang.

Even Sima Yi didn't have such treatment, and the influx of soldiers and nobles made Zhang Xiang in Jizhou a step slower.

Zhang Xiang can only lead the heavy troops, to the water tiger prison, although these two cities are strong, but there are not many soldiers, let alone a decent general, Zhang Xiang is also not at ease!

At least one must be kept, otherwise Zhang Xiang doesn't even have a place to stand, Zhuge Liang is really extraordinary! (To be continued.) )
