Chapter 456 Liangzhou Chaos (4) Asking for Recommendation Votes!!

Yecheng, Cao Jun's camp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The night is dark, and the lights are still bright in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Cao Cao lay on the couch and seemed to be asleep. Wang Tu cautiously stepped forward and extinguished the wick of the oil lamp, making the light in the tent much dimmer at once. But at this time, Cao Cao suddenly turned over and sat up.

"Lord ......"

"Ask Gongda to come over immediately."

"Whoa!"

Wang Tu didn't know what was going on, but at this time, Cao Cao asked him to bring Xun You over, and there must be something important to discuss. Since he became Cao Cao's personal soldier, he has been cautious. When he was instructed, he didn't dare to slack off.

He's not Cao Bin!

Although Cao Bin is not Cao Cao's biological son, after all, he grew up beside Cao Cao since he was a child, and like his brother Cao Zhen, he followed Cao Cao's surname and can be regarded as Cao Cao's cronies. Now, Cao Bin has served as the captain of Xudu Chengmen, which can be regarded as an official position. Wang Tu is very envious of Cao Bin, and has always hoped to be like Cao Bin and be valued by Cao Cao.

After a while, Xun Yu came.

Cao Cao had already sat down, and the whole person had come to his senses.

Seeing that Xun Yu arrived, he was not polite, and said bluntly: "I want to start Zhang Yan in Montenegro, what does Gongda think?" ”

"The will of the lord to make Zhang Yan of Montenegro make a move?"

"Exactly!"

Cao Cao coughed lightly, and then said: "I didn't expect Yuan Jiazi to have such courage to defend Yecheng, but he didn't let Gao Gan rescue him." Originally, I wanted Zhang Yan to settle in Montenegro, and when Gao Gan rescued him, he would be defeated with a drum and capture the state. But Gao Gan actually abandoned Yecheng and ignored it, but attacked Hedong instead. If the stalemate continues, I am afraid that there will be variables. ”

"The lord is worried, but Ma Teng?"

Cao Cao nodded and said softly: "Han Suitun's stationing in the Muyuan is by no means accidental, this must be instructed by Ma Shoucheng."

The battle of Yecheng was not a one-day achievement.

The trial is not more idle, and the defense is quite orderly, and it is difficult to attack for a while. And Gao Gan poured out of the nest in the east of the river, and Zixiao was under great pressure. Although there is Wei Qi to help, it is difficult to distinguish the winner at once. Gao Gan's dispatch of troops must be to attract Ma Teng's attention. As soon as the troops in Guanzhong were empty, Ma Teng took advantage of the situation to seize Hexi and capture Anding, so he joined forces with Han Sui and threatened Guanzhong. When the time comes, Guanzhong will oscillate, Heluo will be chaotic, and Nanyang Liu Biao ......"

Cao Cao's words made Xun You nod again and again in agreement.

"Since the senior cadres don't save Yecheng, then Zhang Yan's ambush army doesn't need to continue to hide, and should immediately send troops to Hedong."

Xun You thought for a while, "But it is not easy for Zhang Yan's 100,000 troops to enter Hedong.

It can be entered in batches and rested. It's just that before this entry into Hedong, someone needs to go to deal with it, who should be better? ”

Zhang Yan is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, formerly known as Chu Feiyan.

Later, with the surname of the Yellow Turban handsome Zhang Niujiao, he changed his name to Zhang Yan, sitting on Montenegro, with millions of people. For a long time, this Zhang Yan has been a big problem in Jizhou. Maybe there are not a million people under his command, but there are 100,000 troops.

If the 100,000-strong army is mobilized, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness without a process of resting and recuperating.

Xun You's meaning was to send someone over so that Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army could rest and recuperate, and then enter Hedong to participate in the war. This rest is actually to allocate grain and grass, provide baggage, and carry out elimination. Of course, it is impossible for the 100,000 Montenegrin army to enter Hedong, and there must be an adjustment here. That's the purpose of sending people over.

"Where is Zihuan today?"

"The prince is now in Wulu City, and the Yuan clan is reorganized."

"Let him go!" Cao Cao thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Let him be the general of Zhongqiu Zhonglang and be responsible for the reorganization of the Black Mountain Army." Since he wants to establish meritorious deeds, it is not very interesting to always be behind. When the reorganization is over, let him go to the east of the river. ”

Xun You hurriedly said: "Xun You understands. ”

He knew that Cao Cao wanted to establish some prestige for Cao Pi.

Since Cao Ang's death, the issue of heirs has been the focus of everyone's attention. In terms of age and qualifications, Cao Pi is undoubtedly the most suitable; But when it comes to pampering, it is Cao Chong who is the most favored. The one with the highest talent is Cao Zhi and Cao Zijian; And the most powerful person is Cao Zhang, the yellow beard who went to Hexi and served under Cao Peng's tent......

Cao Pi has grown up, and he has a bit of bearing.

It's just that he has too few military exploits and insufficient prestige in the army.

Presumably Cao Pi also realized this, so he left Qi County, which had been governed for a year, and when he returned home at the beginning of the year, he asked Cao Cao to join the war. Cao Cao also agreed, but for security reasons, Cao Pi had been stationed in the city of Wulu before.

Now, presumably Cao Cao wants to give Cao Pi some prestige......

Xun Yu bowed and retreated, while Cao Cao turned on the lights and flipped through the official documents of the war report.

Yuan Shang's move can not be said to be poisonous, but it also requires the courage to break the cauldron and dare to make such a decision.

After all, once Ma Teng misses and Guanzhong can't get into chaos, this Yecheng will really become a lonely city.

After Gao Gan's vitality in Hedong was seriously injured, even if he wanted to rescue, he was powerless. Therefore, Yuan Shang's hand is very dangerous. But to die and live! If he succeeds, he will definitely be able to stand with Cao Cao and divide Hebei.

Clever, really clever!

Cao Cao's fingers tapped lightly on the table and couldn't help but smile!

How do you say that, the blade of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Cao Peng was born in a poor family, which is why he has today's achievements; Yuan Shang has also gone through a lot of tempering, and has gradually revealed a trace of edge.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao made up his mind to ask Cao Pi to go to Zhongqiu.

Yuan Shao can't compare to me!

Your son Yuan Shao will also not be my son's opponent......

"Lord!"

Outside the big tent, there was a sudden soft shout.

Cao Cao raised his head and looked out, "What's the matter?" ”

"Xu Du is in a hurry."

"Oh?"

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and quickly stood up, walked a few steps quickly, and came to the door of the big tent.

I saw Wang Tu with a messenger, prostrate outside the big tent, and when he saw Cao Cao walking out, the messenger took two steps, "The lord is not good." ”

Cao Cao's heart sighed!

"What happened?"

"Six days ago, Liu Bei suddenly sent troops to conquer Anzhong and approached the city!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he gasped: Did Liu Bei make a move?

Lao Tzu knows that this guy is not a safe master! Cao Cao had previously worried that if the war in Hebei lasted too long, it would likely cause turmoil in the rear. That Liu Bei was not an idle person, but he didn't expect him to really make a move......

This time, the timing is really good!

Cao Cao was dragged to death by Yuan Shang in Yecheng...... If he can't conquer Yecheng, he will inevitably lose all his efforts.

Back then, when he hit Xuzhou, he also encountered this situation. Seeing that this was about to defeat Xuzhou, he didn't expect a big chaos in the rear, Puyang Lu Bu came to attack, and Chen Gong rebelled, so that Cao Cao had to retreat. As a result, Liu Bei was cheapened, and then caused more and more war in Xuzhou for four years. By the time Cao Cao recovered Xuzhou, it was almost a mess. If it weren't for Deng Ji in Haixi Tuntian at that time, he kept a trace of vitality for Xuzhou, and I don't know what the consequences were. And now, Cao Cao is once again faced with such a situation, which makes him in a dilemma.

This time, Cao Cao faced a more severe choice than before.

He knew very well that if he withdrew his troops, the war in Hedong would also subside, Guanzhong would be stable, and Heluo would not be turbulent.

But in this way, the result will inevitably be that it will be even more difficult for him to seize Jizhou again.

For today's battle, he spent four months, digging a white ditch, and spent countless money and grain. If he fails to return, it will inevitably be a fatal blow to his reputation, and may even cause a violent turmoil in his court.

If you don't withdraw the troops, Liu Bei will also be a trouble......

"Wang Tu, immediately invite Guo Sai to drink."

"Whoa!"

Cao Cao glanced at the messenger, and his voice suddenly turned sharp, "You go down to rest, but remember, don't reveal half of what happened just now." ”

"Whoa!"

The messenger turned, just about to leave.

Suddenly, there was a sound like a dragon roaring behind him, and Cao Cao pulled out his sword.

Before the messenger came to his senses, Cao Cao stabbed him to the ground with a sword.

"Lord!"

"I can only wronged you today...... When you die, don't worry, I will support your wife. ”

Cao Cao really didn't dare to be negligent, if the news of Liu Bei's attack in the rear spread, it would inevitably make the army's morale turbulent. Whatever the reason, the Messenger must die. Cao Cao waved his hand, and Dian Wei walked over with someone.

"Bury him alive and silently.

Also, the picture of the king just now...... Dispose of it quietly. From tomorrow onwards, let Yang Wei take over his duties, and I will be with him for the time being. ”

"Whoa!"

Dian Wei nodded, and without saying a word, dragged the messenger's body into the shadows.

Yang Shu, a native of Nancheng, Taishan County (now southwest of Fei County, Shandong), is also the son of an official eunuch. At the same time, this sheep has another identity, which is Cai Yong's son-in-law...... Cai Yong has two daughters, the eldest daughter, Cai Yan, who now lives in Hexi.

This daughter, Cai Zhenji, is the wife of Yang Shu.

Yang Wei is now under Cao Cao, serving as a military strategist.

This person is familiar with military books and has a good literary style. Cao Cao recruited him as his personal follower, and naturally he also had some considerations in his heart.

They have their own tooth soldiers to clean up the blood stains on the ground.

As for Wang Tu...... Cao Cao doesn't need to worry, everything is solved by Dian Wei.

After a while, Guo Jia came disheveled. He was awakened in his sleep, and when he heard that Cao Cao was calling, he didn't even have time to comb it, so he ran over.

"The lord called Jia late at night, but there was an accident?"

"Liu Bei, occupy Anzhong."

"Huh?"

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, but he understood Cao Cao's intention to find him.

"My lord, you must not withdraw your troops at this time."

"Oh?"

"If the lord collects his troops today, he will not be able to capture Hebei at ten times the cost in the future. There may even be turmoil that will make the Lord's public prestige diminished. Liu Bei, little thief ear! Although he has captured Anzhong, he is not worried. There is Zhang Xiu in Nanyang today, there is Yuan Rang in Yexian, there is still Wenhe in Runan, and Li Tong is also proficient in the art of war, and has the courage of ten thousand people...... These are all good at fighting and resourceful, even if Liu Bei wins a small victory, it will not hinder the overall situation, and sooner or later it will be calmed down.

As a matter of urgency, the lord should order troops and horses to storm Yecheng.

There must be no further delay, for the longer the war goes on, the more unfavorable the war becomes...... As for the east side of the river, Zhang Yan can be stationed. ”

Later generations often said that Cao Cao had five great strategists.

But among the five strategists, the person who is most in tune with Cao Cao and can best understand Cao Cao's thoughts has to be said to be Guo Jia.

Xun Yu also knew Cao Cao's thoughts, but after all, he was still concerned about the Han family.

Therefore, when it comes to Yixin, Xun Yu is still inferior to Guo Jia. However, this is also related to the origin of the two of them. Xun Yu was born in a wealthy family, while Guo Jia was relatively poor. Guo Jia can only get ahead if he follows Cao Cao closely.

Cao Cao's eyes showed appreciation.

"Those who know me, Feng Xiaoye!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Nanyang, Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

"Anzhong is lost?"

"Exactly."

"The ...... of Na Sui Castle"

"General, the city is now in danger. After Liu Bei captured Anzhong, he ordered Chen to defend the palace, and he led his own troops to attack the city. General, if you hesitate any longer, I am afraid that my son's life will be in danger. ”

The defender of the city is Zhang Quan, the son of Zhang Xiu.

Therefore, after hearing that An Zhong was attacked by Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu was also taken aback.

This position of Anzhong is too important...... It can attack the three counties of Niyang, Jianyang and Qicheng; Retreat can defend Xinye, and there is still Liu Biao's elite. In such an important place, if Liu Bei gained a firm foothold, Zhang Xiu would fall into passivity.

What's more, his son is facing a threat from Liu Bei.

Zhang Quan followed Zhang Xiu, and he can be regarded as the master of the battle. If he faced an ordinary opponent, Zhang Xiu was not too worried. But if you want to fight against Liu Bei, Zhang Quan is definitely not an opponent. Not to mention that Liu Bei has also been in battle for a long time, and he has experienced more battles than Zhang Quan has heard of. Moreover, his subordinates are related to Zhang Zhaoyun, as well as Chen Zhi and other fierce generals, all of whom are not idle people. Zhang Quan could never be Liu Bei's opponent. If he does not rescue, Zhang Quan's life will not be guaranteed......

Zhang Xiu, the only one.

Previously, he also had a nephew, Zhang Xin, who had died in battle during the Battle of Wan.

The killer is still not anyone.

If Zhang Quan died......

Zhang Xiu didn't say a word, and immediately gave an order, ordered the soldiers and horses, and galloped to the aid of the city.

However, he is not a reckless person, and he knows that if he goes to Yucheng like this, it is very likely that he will fall for Liu Bei's tricks.

That Liu Bei is also the number one person.

At the beginning, so many people of Cao Cao failed to besiege him, but let him make a great detour of thousands of miles, and the Cao army was embarrassed. If he went straight to the city so stupidly, who knew that Liu Bei would not be ambushed halfway? Therefore, this city needs to be rescued. But it's not about going to the city...... Zhang Xiu ordered someone to inform Xiahoudun, and then led his troops to Xinye.

Lao Tzu's move is called encircling Wei to save Zhao.

Aren't you going to fight the city?

Lao Tzu will go to fight your lair, forcing you to abandon the city and return to the army to rescue Xinye. When the time comes, I will ambush you and take advantage of the situation to retake Anzhong. When General Xiahou arrived, we joined forces and directly destroyed Xinye.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the people who were able to divide one side were not idle people.

Zhang Xiu was able to gain a firm foothold under Dong Zhuo, who was a fierce general, and then after the death of his uncle, he gathered the Xiliang soldiers together, arranged Nanyang, and beat Cao Cao so embarrassed that even his son folded in, how could he be incompetent?

In the past, he had Jia Xu to give advice.

Now that Jia Xu is not there, Zhang Xiu can only make his own decisions.

In short, this time I want you Liu Bei, knowing how powerful I am, and I will never dare to peep into my Zhang Xiu's territory in the future......
