Yuzhou, Runan County, this is a large county, not only a vast territory, but also densely populated, used to be the foundation of Yuan Shu, and now it is the core territory of Cao Wei.

When the Northern Expedition began, it became the core battlefield of the decisive battle between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei.

The main force of the Wu army, the Central Army, all the soldiers and horses were pressed in the land of Runan, from Ruyin Xincai, all the way to the north, like a bamboo, wanting to break through Runan, go straight to Yingchuan, and capture the land of Yuzhou.

The main force of the Wei army, the tiger and leopard cavalry, the right Xiaowei, the right tiger guard, and the right Yang guard, were all on this side of the battlefield, from Ruyin to Shangcai, and opened a big net, intending to fight with the main force of Eastern Wu and fight it out.

Shang Cai Cheng.

It has become the place where the Wei army was the commander-in-chief of the front.

In the large camp, the soldiers of the Wei army were obviously very impatient because of the battle ahead, and between transfers, they went in and out, back and forth, making the whole atmosphere tense.

"What is the current situation in the battle in Ruyin?" Guo Jia's expression was awe-inspiring, his eyes looked down at the sand table, and asked in a deep voice.

Ruyin City is now the core of the competition between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei.

"Report to Lord Taiwei, General Zhang He has completely stabilized the situation in Ruyin City at present, he relied on a remnant army, but he stubbornly blocked the main force of the Wu army in front of Ruyin, plus we have opened up two roads, so it can be supported here for at least three months!"

The right Xiao guard replied: "However, because the Wu army has been unable to attack Ruyin City for a long time, it has now begun to divide its troops to the west, and they have captured Xincai and Ancheng along the way, and the main force is even approaching Pingyu!" ”

Du Xian, Zixu, in his early twenties, is considered a rising star of Cao Wei. has outstanding points in military strategy, and Guo Jia is very important.

"They're already close to peace?"

When Guo Jia heard this, his eyes lit up slightly: "That is, they have already called Xiahou Dun's Right Tiger Guard!" ”

Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses have been guarding Yuzhou, and since the Wu army broke through Shouchun to the north, he has already led troops to the south to reinforce, also because of the pressure of the scattered main forces of Eastern Wu. In order to maintain the current situation, otherwise with only Zhang He's soldiers and horses, the land of Runan may have already been lost.

After all, now that Dongwu is menacing and the main force is strong, with Zhang He's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even if he has monstrous ability, it is difficult to achieve it alone.

"Lord Taiwei, they have already fought hard!"

Cao Chun, the main general of the tiger and leopard riders, stood up and said with a smile: "But Brother Xiahou has a long face for our Great Wei this time. He fought quickly, personally led his subordinates to attack, and beat the vanguard army of Eastern Wu without hurrying, but achieved a certain victory, in the county town of Fengyang in the northeast of Pingyu, and the vanguard army of the Wu army was engaged, crushing them eighty miles away, and killing more than 1,000 people. Eight hundred captives! ”

"Good!"

When Guo Jia heard this, he looked overjoyed. shouted loudly and said: "At this time, we can defeat the vanguard army of Eastern Wu, which is equivalent to suppressing the momentum of their northward movement, and this battle is very good!" ”

For a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are fighting, the results in this battle are actually not great.

But at this time, it is very exciting.

After all, the Wu army went north. In a short period of time, Jiujiang Shouchun was overwhelmed, and the momentum was like a bamboo along the way, which made the morale of the Wei army have been suppressed and can only defend. There is simply no way to form a decent counterattack.

At this time, they were able to win a battle and ruthlessly defeat the vanguard army of Eastern Wu, which was naturally equivalent to suppressing the momentum of Eastern Wu, and under the elimination of one and the other, they could ignite the morale of the army under their command.

"Lord Taiwei, but I heard that Zhao Zilong has personally divided his troops to the west, preparing for a decisive battle with General Xiahoudun!" One of the hall masters in charge of military intelligence among the ghost pawns said in a low voice.

"That's normal!"

Guo Jia was not surprised by this, he squinted slightly: "Now that the Wu army has not been able to break through Ruyin City for a long time, the northward movement has actually been blocked, and now it has suffered a defeat in the land of peace, in order to save morale, they will inevitably dispatch their elite, hoping to break the city and go north!" ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "And among the generals of Eastern Wu who went north, if it is a fierce general who is good at attacking, it is not Zhao Zilong Moke, so it is normal for him to personally lead the army north and attack Pingyu!" ”

"Then do we want to reinforce General Xiahoudun?" Du Xun asked in a low voice.

"There is no need for the time being, Xiahou is strong and strong, relying on the high walls of Pingyu City, it is not difficult to block Zhao Zilong!"

Guo Jia shook his head, a pair of black eyes like pearls flashed brightly: "Runan is a good battlefield here, it's still early May, we can't let this battlefield stand out, but as long as it enters June, the rainy season is in the early season, and the rivers are rising, we can turn the situation around!" ”

A war, the main thing is that the time is right and the people are right.

As long as it enters June, the time and geography are enough for Guo Jia to win this battle of Yuzhou, so he is still waiting.

"What do you mean, Captain?"

At this time, the coach Cao Ang, who had been silent, was a little confused, he raised his head, looked at Guo Jia and asked.

He, Cao Ang, is not a smart person.

But as a crown prince, he is qualified, because he knows how to employ people, and Guo Jia, who handed over all this battle, is his wisest decision.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you look at the topography of Runan, the land of Runan, connecting the Jiujiang River, under the lingering rivers, we are located in the upstream position, but the army of Eastern Wu is in the downstream, this is one of our advantages!"

Guo Jia analyzed in a deep voice and said: "What we have to do now is to delay, delay time, to be able to drag this battle until the rainy season is the most intensive, and then our main force will attack, when the time comes, we can store water and fight, with the help of water to repel them!" ”

"That's a good idea!"

When Cao Ang heard this, his eyes flashed and he nodded.

But he thought about it carefully, and something was wrong, he stood up, leaned up, and whispered in Guo Jia's ear: "But Lord Taiwei, you also know now that the imperial court has been making people panic for the sake of logistics, and in addition to the Eastern Wu as a hindrance, we can't get a grain and grass in Yuzhou, and now the people's feelings are boiling, so the imperial court has always wanted a good news to appease the people, should we also organize an attack here!" ”

"This?"

When Guo Jia heard this, his expression was a little struggling.

He was careful in his military strategy and arranged everything very precisely.

But in terms of politics, he is somewhat inferior to Cao Ang, Cao Ang has followed Cao Cao since he was a child, although his military strategy is average, and his political affairs skills are average, but the politics related to the general trend of the imperial court have learned seven or eight points.

That's why Cao Cao made him the crown prince and regarded him as a prince.

He also knew in his heart that in fact, what Cao Ang said was right, if from a political point of view, now the Wei army really needs to attack and fight a victory, so as to calm the army's heart and stabilize the people's feelings.

"Guo Zhun!"

Guo Jia thought for a while, looked at the southeast hall master of the ghost pawn, and asked in a deep voice: "At present, has the Wu army's troops going north in Jiujiang have all been figured out?" ”

"Lord Tai Wei!"

Guo Zhun is very young, he is a native of Taiyuan, he is one of the veterans of Guo Jia's ghostly pawn back then, and he is Jia Xu's confidant, he thought about it and said: "The soldiers and horses we know at present are basically the Central Army known as the First Army of Eastern Wu, and the five armies under the command of the Central Army, nearly 180,000 elite main forces, have all been pressed here!" ”

There is a saying that the one who is most familiar with himself must be the enemy.

Although the military system of Eastern Wu has undergone repeated reforms, they are more familiar with Cao Wei's intelligence than the soldiers of Eastern Wu, after all, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles.

"As long as they don't have reinforcements, we can give it a try and fight!"

Guo Jia gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "We really need a big victory now to stabilize the current situation, after all, Yuzhou has just gone through a turmoil, although the people's sentiment has been suppressed, but it will break out at any time, as long as the victory can stabilize the people's hearts." ”

"Then what is the strategy of Lord Tai Wei?"

Cao Chun and Li Dian, the main general of the Right Xiaowei, both stood up, and their eyes were focused on Guo Jia's body.

"We're going to move!"

Guo Jia squinted slightly, and after careful planning in his heart, he pointed to the sand table and said: "But we have to suppress the battle within the range we can bear, His Royal Highness the Prince, you are willing to lead the army to fight in person!" ”

"No problem!" Cao Ang nodded: "Lord Taiwei, when it comes to strategy, you are doing it, you say, I will cooperate!" ”

He is the crown prince, and when the prince goes to war, the morale of the army will inevitably rise.

"I'm going to fight Zhao Zilong in Pingyu!"

Guo Jia clenched his fists, and the light in his eyes became extremely decisive: "Zhao Zilong is the god of war in Eastern Wu, only by defeating him can we be regarded as winning the battle and stabilize the situation!" ”

"How?"

The general asked.

"Cao Chun, if I give you eighteen hours, can you lead the tiger and leopard to ride and appear in the southeast direction of Pingyu?" Guo Jia asked

"Eighteen hours, that is, a day and a half, there should be no problem!"

Cao Chun calculated for a while and nodded: "But after rushing repeatedly, you need to rest for three hours before you can enter the battle!" ”

"No, you can only rest for an hour!"

"I'll do my best!" Cao Chun thought about it and nodded, after all, the tiger and leopard cavalry was Cao Wei's most elite cavalry, and as long as he forced it, there was no problem with this ability.

"Okay, you can go now!"

"No!"

Cao Chun nodded and took the order, and then went to beat the drums and gather the generals to gather the main force of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Zixu!"

"In!"

"You personally go to supervise the battle, I don't worry about others!"

"Yes!" Du Xian's eyes were excited, his expression was excited, and he strode down.

Guo Jia's eyes sharpened: "His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

"In!" Cao Ang stepped forward.

"You personally go to Pingyu, let Xiahoudun give up the city of Pingyu, and attack Zhao Zilong's main force, as long as Zhao Zilong walks out of Xincai, you must press them here in Cai Shuihe!"

Guo Jia looked at Cao Ang and said, "You have to play in person in this battle to get the maximum effect!" ”

"Understood!"

Cao Ang received the order, led the guards, walked out of the camp, turned over his horse, and headed in the direction of Pingyu. (To be continued.) )
