Hearing Cao Ang ask his opinion on bringing Sun Ce to the hinterland of Jingzhou, Cao Cao stroked his beard and said meaningfully: "This strategy of the sect leader is not only not a failure, but quite clever. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to Marshmallow]"

Cao Ang was puzzled. In order to deal with Sun Ce this time, the church's losses were not insignificant, Wulin Port was destroyed, the entire Xiangyang City was gone, and more than 30,000 troops were lost in vain. He then threw this question to Cao Cao.

"It is true that it is not difficult for my Holy Sect army to capture Moling, but what about after that? Ang'er thought about it, under Sun Ce's rule, there was not only one city in Moling, but the entire Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and Jingnan four counties, with nearly 200 cities. After Moling was occupied, he could have relied on a vast territory and fought and retreated. In order to ensure food and grass and smooth military supplies, our army needs to constantly divide troops and garrison them, so as to break them into pieces. At that time, Sun Ce will be able to use superior forces to break through one by one. This will cause incalculable casualties to us. This is one of them. ”

"Second......" Cao Cao continued, "it takes a lot of time for the army to pour into Jiangnan and conquer so many cities. If it goes well, it will take at least more than a year, and if the process is frustrated, it will be more than a bright year. Such a long time will bring huge losses of human, financial and material resources; Third, we attacked Jiangdong not only to occupy it, but also to dominate and manage it. If you choose to break out a large-scale and protracted war there - the power of gunpowder has been seen more than once, can the city in the south of the Yangtze River withstand his bombardment? ”

"Of course not!"

"That's good...... The destruction of gunpowder and war in Koto was catastrophic. The destruction of the city, the displacement of the people, and the direct and indirect economic losses, in the words of the Patriarch, are incalculable. Even if we occupy the whole of Gangnam, it will take a long time for us to recover it in the future. For this reason, the Holy Church needs to invest a huge amount of wealth, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Cao Cao paused, and then explained, "Relatively speaking, the sect leader pretended to send troops to Hanzhong as an opportunity to make Sun Ce think that there were insufficient troops in the hinterland of our Central Plains, and then lured Sun Ce into the core area of Jingzhou by the defeat of Wulin. In fact, the sect leader was not in Hanzhong at all, or more accurately, the sect leader only stayed in Hanzhong for one day, and rushed back to Wancheng overnight after showing his face in front of Zhang Ren. He asked us to defend Xiangyang for ten days, which was to buy time for the holy sect armies from all walks of life, so that at noon on the first day of the first month of the sixteenth year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, troops were sent from all sides to complete the siege in front of Xinye City. (Marshmallow) used this to kill and even capture Sun Ce and a group of Jiangdong Wenwuge, even if Sun Ce escaped back to Jiangdong by luck, his main force was lost, and he lost the ability to compete with our army. At that time, the armies from all walks of life divided their troops to the south, and captured Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, which was both time-saving and victorious. Latest chapters. Using a temporary defeat as a weight, using Jingzhou as a bait, and easily earning an intact Jiangnan, it is not unintelligent. Does Ang'er understand now? ”

Cao Ang nodded repeatedly.

"Of course! The destruction of Xiangyang in this operation was far from expected. But the responsibility is not for the leader, but for the father. Cao Cao blamed himself with a face, "When Wulin was defeated, his father didn't expect that Sun Ce didn't destroy all the gunpowder, and kept most of it himself, which caused our side to suffer setbacks again and again in the first battle of Xiangyang, and the loss of soldiers and horses was far beyond expectations, not to mention, the entire Xiangyang City was also destroyed in flames. This is all my carelessness! Ang'er must be anxious, and he must be cautious in raising troops to fight in the future, often some small things that seem ordinary will affect the entire battle situation. ”

"The child knows."

Seeing that Cao Cao still had a guilty look, he was deeply trapped in self-blame and couldn't extricate himself. Cao Ang changed the topic and asked, "Father, Sun Ce has been here for a while. Why did you neither attack the city nor withdraw it? ”

Cao Cao raised his eyes and glanced at the enemy army formation not far away, and said, "What else can it be!" I'm afraid that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are in a daze, wondering where did we get so many soldiers? Since there are so many soldiers, why don't you put them into the battle of Xiangyang...... Their heads are already messed up by now. Ha ha...... What time is Ang'er? ”

"Four quarters and three minutes!"

"Is it mechanical?"

Cao Ang said: "Absolutely accurate! Before the Sect Master distributed the Mechanics to the various armies, he agreed to calibrate and time, which means that the times displayed by the Mechanics of the various armies of our Holy Sect are the same. ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Very good, in less than two moments, the armies of the Holy Sect will gather in Jingbei." It's almost time, he, Sun Ce, won't come to fight us, let's go and beat him. Cao Cao took a helmet and put it on his head, and Cao Ang was very considerate to help Cao Cao tie a cloak with a blood-red cross on the back, which symbolized the commander of the Church Legion.

After being fully armed, Cao Cao strode up to the point general platform and shouted at Cao Ren, who was laughing and talking with Yu Ban not far away: "Zixiao, Cao Zixiao." Thunder drums, out of town! ”

"Knock...... Boom...... ......The drumbeat exploded, and the small city gate of the small city of Xinye opened in the sight of the Jiangdong army, first revealing the unique shield carved with Nuwa's angry eyes, followed by a neat lineup of shield soldiers and spearmen, followed by crossbowmen with solemn faces, and war horses and masked riders with hot noses.

The 30,000 Shinno Church guards immediately assembled outside the south gate, and the well-trained cone-shaped large array was listed.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were completely stunned. Cone Formation...... What did Cao Cao want to do, they were obviously defending the city, and there were only 30,000 people, so they actually listed such a main attack formation. Are they crazy?

Surely it can't be...... Cao Cao is also a person who has been through the art of war for a long time, and the year before last, he personally wrote and presided over the compilation of the "New Book of Mengde", which was praised by Luan Yi and called it "a hundred years of the art of war", and designated it as the application textbook of the University Hall of the Notre Dame Sect, and the first 30,000 copies were very popular. Jiangdong lurked in the Jingzhou area, and the fine work also obtained two copies through channels, and after sending them back to Jiangdong, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu read through them and were deeply inspired.

It is absolutely impossible for a person who can write such a book of soldiers to be both offensive and defensive. In this way, Cao Cao dared to take the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, which is ......" Cao Mengde has a barrier? ”

Zhou Yu just threw out this question, and got the answer he deserved in the next moment.

A scout came to report, "The lord, the military division, the big thing is not good, thirty miles southeast of Xinye, I found that a large number of enemy troops were rushing in the direction of Xinye."

"Southeast? How many people? Zhou Yu asked in surprise.

"At least 30,000 people, maybe 40,000 wishful space >

。 ”

"What?" Zhou Yu was shocked.

"Report! The enemy army was found in the southwest of Xinye, and the number was about 20,000, most of which were cavalry. ”

"Report! A large number of enemy troops were detected in the northwest of Xinye, the number of which is uncertain, but quite numerous. More than 100,000 ......"

"Huh?" 20,000, 30,000, more than 100,000, plus Cao Cao, this is more than 200,000 troops! Zhou Yu sat on the ground in shock, "Get the map." ”

The soldiers panicked and spread the map on the ground, connecting several key points on the map. The northwest direction is Wancheng, the west is Shangyong, and the southeast is Shouchun......

"How is that possible? How can it be! Zhou Yu had words in his mouth, "Shouldn't Luan Yi's soldiers and horses be in Hanzhong?" How to finish and mediocre and there are so many people? Also, what did Zhang Zibu and Han Yigong (referring to Sun Ce's advisers Zhang Zhao and Han Dang) eat? Don't they have 50,000 horses on hand? Why didn't Guan Yu contain Shouchun? ”

One question after another rose from everyone's minds. Lu Su was the first to see through the mystery, and suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Because Luan Ziqi is not in Hanzhong at all!" ”

"How is that possible! Zhang Song personally sent oral training, and Luan Ziqi was in Hanzhong. A few days ago, Zhang Ren sent a handwritten letter, saying that the Church of Our Lady is very tight, and let us take action quickly. How could Luan Ziqi not be in Hanzhong. ”

"Zhang Song also listened to what Zhang Ren said." Lu Su pointed out the key, "What Luan Ziqi commanded an army of 400,000 to besiege Yangping Pass? What did you see Luan Ziqi's banner before the pass, Luan Ziqi himself holding a lotus hammer...... It's all Zhang Ren's one-sided words. ”

"You mean? Zhang Ren lied to us? Why did he do it? Zhou Yu's face turned white, and he suddenly felt a pinprick in his chest.

"There is only one possibility, he has already betrayed Zhang Lu and voted for Luan."

"Huh?" Although Zhou Yu knew that this was the only explanation, he was reluctant to admit it in his heart, "Zhang Lu treats him well, why does he want to vote for Luanyi?" ”

"Life is in the world, fame or fortune. It must be Luan Ziqi who promised him benefits that he would never get from Zhang Lu, and Luan Ziqi is fully capable of doing this. In addition, Gong Jin must have forgotten that Zhang Ren is known as the northwest and is Tong Yuan's big disciple! He and Luan Yi's confidants, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yunnai, are brothers! With these two people as lobbyists, and then promising benefits, how could Zhang Ren not betray Zhang Lu! ”

"Ahh Zhou Yu's train of thought suddenly became clear. Luan Yi first created public opinion, put on a posture of attacking and annihilating Hanzhong, and used the powerful military power of the Holy Mother Sect to put pressure on Zhang Lu and a group of civil and military forces in Hanzhong.

As the chief general of Zhang Lu's tent, Zhang Ren knew that the Holy Mother Sect had a strong army, and he knew that Zhang Lu would be defeated if he started a war in Hanzhong, and in such a situation, Luan Yi sent Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun to throw an olive branch to him. Soft and hard, pull him under his tent.

After succeeding, he immediately sent a large army to attack Pingyang Pass, which was led by Zhang.

In fact, Zhang Ren's attachment also means that Pingyang Pass is already in Luan Yi's hands. It's just that Luan Yi was not in a hurry to break through, but co-staged a double reed with Zhang Ren.

Luan Yi set up the camp outside the pass, leaving Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun to chat about tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then led the army back to Wancheng. Zhang Ren put on an appearance of facing a great enemy in the city, repeatedly saying that there were three or four hundred thousand church soldiers and horses outside the city, and vetoed the suggestions of the soldiers in the city to send scouts out of the city to investigate, and to attack the camp at night.
