Luoyang City, Shangyang Palace.

Now it is the season of early autumn, the scorching summer breath has gradually disappeared, and the cool breeze is very refreshing, which makes people feel a lot better.

However, at this moment, Cao Cao in the Pure Heart Hall was a little restless.

He sat cross-legged on the dragon chair with a golden sword, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes looked at the battle report in his hand with some disbelief: "Wenhe, how majestic and strong the Pujia Pass is, with the strength that Liu Xuande now holds, it is impossible for the Wu army to be broken so quickly, can you be sure of the authenticity of this battle report?" ”

In Cao Cao's heart, he always believed that there was no problem for Sun Wu to take down the disciples of Shuchuan, after all, with the strength of the Great Wu Dynasty, the strength of the Wu army was enough to crush Liu Bei.

Even if Liu Bei has a geographical advantage, he is always not enough in the face of absolute strength, and Sun Quan will consume Liu Bei even if he consumes it.

However, Wu Jun broke through the Pujia Pass in a short period of time, which shocked him a little.

"Your Majesty, this battle report is absolutely true!" Jia Xu, the commander of the ghost pawns, stood in the main hall, bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen has confirmed it again and again, it is absolutely true!" ”

"Wenhe, do you have a detailed record of the process of breaking the level?"

Xi Zhicai stood in front of Cao Cao, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked in a low voice.

He also had some feelings that something was wrong, with the solidity of Pujia Pass being comparable to the existence of the world's first Xiongguan Tiger Prison Pass, with the comparison of the strength of the Wu army and the Shu army, how could it be so easy to break.

Knowing that the enemy is victorious in a hundred battles, the Wu army wants to capture Shuchuan, Cao Wei will naturally do some tentative strategic deductions, and he has also done a strategy about Pujia Pass.

Liu Bei had 100,000 troops around him, as well as the general Guan Yu Wei Yan and others, he thought that even if he went to attack the city in person. It will take at least three months to break through.

But now Wu Jun's rapid breakthrough made him have to panic a little.

"Lord Taiwei, the specific process of breaking the pass, Weichen did not inquire about it at all, but we got some useful news from the Shu army, the battle of Pujia Pass, it is rumored that the Wu army has a heavenly god soldier to help. The soldiers who fell from the sky opened the gates of the passes one by one, and let the soldiers of the Wu army drive straight in, which broke the Pujia Pass! Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said word by word.

"Divine Soldier from the Sky?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and only after half a ring did he come back to his senses, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised a sneer of contempt, and said coldly: "Ridiculous, a bunch of nonsense." What kind of divine soldiers in the world can fall from the sky, it's just hearsay, if Sun Wu is such a skill, they would already be firmly in the world! ”

The boundless sky is a big forbidden place, flying is a big dream, and the heavenly divine soldier is a non-existent myth, Cao Cao does not believe in any legend of the heavenly divine soldier at all.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this may not be nonsense!"

Jia Xu's face became a little solemn: "We all know the solidity of Pujiaguan. The speed at which Wu Jun broke through the level was a little unacceptable, and if it was said that the heavenly gods might have gone too far. But I believe that Wu Jun did use an unbelievable method to break through the pass, and Wechen must do his best to investigate this matter! ”

"You're right, this time Sun Zhongmou's speed of breaking through the level was once again beyond my expectations!"

Cao Cao's face was a little ugly: "In a short period of time, he has broken through the Pujia Pass, and the morale of the soldiers under his command will inevitably be greatly boosted." Shu Chuan may not be able to stop him, once he comes to his senses, he will send troops to clean up me! ”

"Your Majesty, General Zhang He has already burned down the Jiangling Granary, one of the two major granaries of the Wu army, and he must be able to delay them a little bit!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Put it before. This is a good record, but for the Wu army, who has already broken through the Pujia Pass, it may not be able to get any benefits! ”

Cao Cao thought for a while and asked, "By the way, did Zhang He withdraw from Jingzhou?" ”

"Not yet!" Jia Xu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "After he burned the Jiangling warehouse, he actually went to fight the granary in Wuling!" ”

"Too greedy!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned a little: "Jingzhou is the land of Sun Wu after all, once he is besieged, he may not be able to escape!" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang He has indeed passed a little, but it is not that there is no chance of winning, there is still a chance!" Xi Zhicai said: "Sun Quan intends to go west, unless Wuling Cang is burned, otherwise he will not transfer troops back to Jingzhou, he has just won Pujia Pass, and his morale is strong, and he can't afford to hurt this indomitable morale!" ”

"But in Jiangdong itself, Sun Wu may send troops!" Jia Xu added: "Zhang He is still very dangerous! ”

"Forget it, Jingzhou is far away, I am also a little beyond the reach of the whip, see him create by himself, send an order to Zhang Xiu, beat him harder, it can be regarded as a cover for him, try to drag Tai Shici, and suppress the troops of Xiangyang City!"

"Yes!" Jia Xu nodded.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Is there any news coming back from the Battle of Bingzhou?" ”

In Jingzhou, he is just making trouble, and in Bingzhou is the battle that Cao Wei cares about now.

"General Cao Hong has pulled out the five cities in Taiyuan, the speed is very fast, and now the soldiers are in Jinyang City, most of the soldiers and horses of the Wu army are still resting in Yanmen, and the chances of General Cao Hong in this battle are not small, just to see how to fight!"

Xi Zhicai said: "If you can successfully win Taiyuan, it is equivalent to winning the first move!" ”

"Where's Xiliang?"

"The prince's soldiers and horses are still on the right side of the wind, but Sima Yi's vanguard army has forced into Hanyang County, Ma Mengqi did not intend to be captured, he gave up Xiheshang County in the state, and also withdrew troops from Jincheng Dunhuang, and the army of Liangguo was arrayed in Hanyang and Beidi County, with the intention of fighting to the death!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Hehe, this is not surprising to me, Ma Mengqi is a tiger after all, since he can't subdue him, he can only subdue him hard!"

Cao Cao said categorically: "Fight harder, even if we pay casualties, we will cripple him, but remember, I want him to live, this is a tiger, I want this tiger to be able to fight for Great Wei one day!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Liang army still has the idea of capturing Hanzhong!"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he was silent for a while, and smiled, as if he was ridiculing Ma Chao's indiscretion: "His ambition is not small!" ”

"The ambition is not small, but his ability is not great!" Cao Cao said confidently: "I ask myself if I can suppress this tiger." Xiliang is a small trouble, Sun Wu is the big enemy, one more fierce general, one more strength, I personally put down my identity and entered the Pang Mansion three times. Invite Pang De out, just to take him down Ma Chao! ”

"By Your Majesty's orders!"

Xi Zhicai nodded, he knew that Cao Cao's sense of security was actually very low now, after all, Sun Wu was a little too powerful, so strong that even a hero like Cao Cao lacked confidence, so he wanted to recruit generals.

"Compared to Xiliang Ma Chao, I am always worried about Sun Wu, Sun Zhongmou's pace is too fast, we must speed up. We can't take and merge states before the Wu army ends its western expedition, and we will fall into passivity! Cao Cao said faintly.

"Your Majesty, if you want to take the state, it is better for us to send troops to fight a dozen Youzhou!" Xi Zhicai said suddenly: "Although Jizhou's troops are not fully trained, they can move, as long as they don't fight, even if they are trained at that time!" ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao was a little puzzled.

"Sound from east to west!"

Jia Xu understood. He squinted his eyes and saw a drama Zhicai. The corners of his mouth raised a meaningful smile, and he said to Cao Cao: "Youzhou and Mergezhou, Huang Zhong knows how to choose!" ”

"Feint to attack Youzhou, but in fact, take and merge the state!" Cao Cao suddenly understood: "It's not about fighting, it's about asking them to automatically retreat!" ”

————————————————————

White Emperor City, the waterway of the Yangtze River. On the calm river, the Wu army was cleaning up the battlefield, and the wrecked ships were drifting, and the bright blood had stained the river red, and the floating corpses. The battle flags seeping into the water all marked the fierceness of the battle just now.

Wu Jun Water Village, the battle flag fluttering.

The battle had just come to an end, relatively speaking, the morale of the soldiers of the Wu army was a little low, and above the camp hall, the two main generals Sun Ce and Ganning stood in front of the sand table, their faces were gloomy, and even the face of the military advisor Chen Gong was a little ugly.

The battle that had just ended did not give them the results they deserved.

For this battle, they have been planning for half a month, first to break the enemy with a strong attack, and then to disturb the enemy's military morale in a truce, close to causing a feint in the second attack, and finally three defeats in three battles to lure the enemy out, seeing that they are about to lure Zhang Fei, a member of the Shu army, out, as a result, the battle report of Pujiaguan came, and Zhang Fei woke up with a blow to the head, but they fell short!

"The battle report came at an inopportune time!"

Sun Ce's fists clenched slightly.

He was very surprised by Sun Quan's achievements, but he was not happy that the battle report came at this time, and the strategy they had arranged was in vain.

"Hit the grass and scare the snake, hit the grass of Pujiaguan, but it alarmed the snake in the White Emperor City, Zhang Fei shrank back, and it was a little difficult to draw it out!"

Chen Gong smiled bitterly: "None of us expected Your Majesty to be so resolute and resolute, taking Pujia Pass at once before us, annihilating half of Liu Bei's main force, and this time the Shu army in White Emperor City was so scared that they didn't dare to make a move!" ”

"There is one more important news that is not in our favor!"

Gan Ning sighed: "The Jiangling warehouse is burned, and there will be a big problem with our backward grain and grass, once the logistics are not guaranteed, we will be defeated without a fight!" ”

"What should I do?" Sun Ce's face turned pale.

"I don't have a choice, there is only one word, fight, an indomitable attack, take the White Emperor City at all costs, and supply our army with the grain and grass stored by the enemy army in the White Emperor City!"

Chen Gong's eyes burst out with a decisive light: "Now our grain and grass can support up to ten days, Jingzhou must be a little chaotic now, Jiangling warehouse is burned, even if the court wants to distribute grain and grass to us again, it can only be transported from Jiangdong again, at least a month!" ”

"But White Emperor City is not so easy to beat!"

Sun Ce frowned: "We have been laying out for more than half a month, and we finally lured out Zhang Fei, and we were about to trap him when we saw it, but when the battle report of Pujiaguan came, he shrank back again, and he worked in vain for more than half a month!" ”

"Assault!"

Chen Gong narrowed his eyes: "Break the face with a point, Zhang Fei is that point, we stare at Zhang Fei to fight, hit him until he is manic, hit him until he can't bear it!" ”

"Will Zhang Ren let this situation go?" Gan Ning asked: "With his military support, we won't succeed!" ”

"Definitely not before!"

Chen Gong smiled, his smile was very confident, and said: "But now, he should be, once the Pujia Pass is broken, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shuchuan can't be saved, at this time, if Zhang Ren has enough wisdom, he should learn to preserve his strength!" ”

"Preserve your strength?" The two didn't understand.

"Why?" Sun Ce asked, "Will Zhang Ren surrender?" ”

"It may not be a surrender, to put it simply, Zhang Ren is not a diehard loyalist of Liu Bei, he will not sink with Liu Bei's broken ship, so he naturally has to choose another way out, no matter what way out he wants to choose, he has a certain amount of troops in his hands, so he can speak!"

Chen Gong analyzed: "Therefore, at this time, he should preserve his strength, instead of fighting us to the end, even if the White Emperor City is lost, as long as he still has a descendant force in his hands, he is qualified to negotiate!" ”

"In this case, let's let go of Dongcheng, focus on Nancheng, and stare at Zhang Fei and him, I will go into battle with Gan Ning, as long as Zhang Ren has even a trace of the heart to preserve his strength and does not send troops to rescue, then Zhang Fei will be defeated!"

Sun Ce quickly formulated the battle policy: "We only have ten days, in these ten days, we must take Zhang Fei and force Zhang Ren to retreat, otherwise it will be a big rout in the face of us, I can't be defeated, I want to win, so in this battle, no one is allowed to retreat!" ”

"Victory is ours!"

Gan Ning's face was resolute and his expression was determined. (To be continued.) )
