Chapter 869: The Cao Family's Thousand Miles of Horses
"Is Tai Shici's injury serious?" Sun Quan frowned slightly, his eyes became solemn, he didn't care about how to fight below, what he cared about was whether this strong general could go to the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, in the battle report submitted by Shi Tao, Tai Shici's injury is not very serious, and it should be able to recover within ten days, and it will not affect the upcoming battle!"
Ju Yi said a fair word.
When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ju Yi, and gave him a grateful look.
"In that case!"
Sun Quan was relieved, thought about it, looked at everyone, and said: "It's better to let him go north, I need someone to block Zhang Xiu and use him to liberate Lu Bu, Lu Bu is the vanguard of Sichuan, he should be ready to fight!" ”
"No!"
Pan Feng nodded.
Now the relationship between Wu and Wei is a little tense, Zhao Yun beheaded Cao Ren, and the relationship between the two dynasties has fallen below the freezing point, and war may start at any time.
Once the strength of the Wei army in Nanyang goes south, how many times will it affect this war, and it is very appropriate to use Tai Shici to deal with Zhang Xiu......
"Now that Peicheng has been opened, it must be time for Liu Bei, who is furious like thunder, to move, once the soldiers and horses of the Shu army begin to mobilize, this battle into Sichuan has already begun!"
Sun Quan stood up, looked at a marching map on the north side, and said in a deep voice: "Wait for what should be prepared to prepare, and the soldiers and horses that should be dispatched back will also speed up." ”
"Yes!"
"Sun Ce!" Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce.
"In!" Sun Ce stood up.
"Within three days, you will be the commander of the Right Army. Immediately rush to the Yiling camp in Jingzhou and take over the fleets of all the navies, before I swear to march westward. You, the deputy generals of the Right Route Army, Gan Ning and Xue Zhou, the three of them have to train a certain tacit understanding.
This battle is very important to Dawu, I don't want anyone to drag down in this battle, whoever dares to drag his feet, I will definitely show no mercy. ”
Sun Ce was the chief general of the Right Route Army. However, the Right Route Army takes the navy as the core, and the naval battle Gan Ning and Xue Zhou are the big experts, and if there is no cooperation between the two in this regard. It was a little difficult for Sun Ce's soldiers and horses to fight along the Yangtze River waterway.
There is no shortage of combat effectiveness between them, but there is definitely a lack of tacit understanding.
Why is it that hundreds of thousands of troops must be dispatched in advance to gather troops and horses from all walks of life? It's nothing more than training tacit understanding. On the battlefield, the tacit understanding between divisions and regiments is very important.
"Yes!"
Sun Ce nodded and took the order, surrendered his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Right Route Army will definitely not become a burden in this battle!" ”
The meeting of the Military Machine Pavilion lasted for half a day, and after they discussed the Battle of Irikawa, Sun Quan suddenly remembered something and asked, "That's right." Is there any news from Zilong in Hanzhong coming back? ”
Zhao Yun had tens of thousands of remnants and no reinforcements. Without logistics, just entering Hanzhong like this, it is impossible for him to say in his heart that he is not worried.
"Nope!"
Ju Yi shook his head gently, smiled slightly wryly, and said: "After Shangyong City fell into the hands of Zhang He, Hanzhong Hell seems to be closed, we have no news at all, there should be a little Jinyi Guard, but there are not much, and the only news we know, General Zhao seems to have been reduced to zero!" ”
"Rounded to zero?"
Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gasped: "He is a dangerous move!" ”
"Your Majesty, with the terrain of Hanzhong, General Zhao has been reduced to zero, and it should be easier for him to capture Nanzheng City!" Xu Shu said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, how can it be so simple!"
Sun Quan shook his head: "Zhang Lu has the support of the Wudou Rice Sect, and his foundation among the people of Hanzhong is very good, Shangyong to Nanzheng, such a long journey, they want to sneak into Nanzheng, it is impossible, they can only enter it in a bright and bright way, in order to take Nanzheng!" ”
The customs in Hanzhong are different, Zhang Lu is a prince who integrates divine power with imperial power, and under divine power, fooling the people is the easiest and most convenient.
Zhao Yun will definitely suffer in this regard.
Especially in logistics, if he encounters a big counterattack from the people, he will have no place to stay.
But now Sun Quan can't take care of Hanzhong, now in the end of May, approaching June, he is about to go on the expedition, and he must prepare for the expedition.
Now that he is the Emperor of Great Wu, the lord of a country, and if he wants to conquer the front line in person, there are many things that must be solved in advance, otherwise there will be some problems in Jinling City.
After leaving the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Sun Quan didn't even have a chance to take a breath, so he immediately went to the cabinet and held a cabinet meeting with Zhang Zhao to discuss the people who oversaw the country......
——————————————————————
Shangyong City.
Outside the city, in a tent, Zhang He supported his hands under the wooden frame, bowed his head slightly, and looked at a large and delicate sand table in front of him.
"Zhao Zilong, you are really ruthless!"
This big sand table is the detailed terrain of Hanzhong, since there was no trace of Zhao Yun a few days ago, he has been looking at the sand table, the terrain of Hanzhong is too complicated, scattering tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, just like sand.
"You have wounded soldiers, cavalry, and foot soldiers, and you can hide for a while!"
wanted to find out Zhao Yun, Zhang He racked his brains, but there was little effect.
The only thing he could know was that Zhao Yun's target was Nan Zheng.
But the road between Shangyong and Nanzheng, the mountain peaks rise and fall, the mountain streams are innumerable, and there is a meridian valley with nine curves and eighteen bends in the middle.
"General, Captain Cao Xiu led General Zhang Xiu's order and led 8,000 troops to reinforce us!" An adjutant general entered the big tent to report.
After the First Battle of Shangyong, Zhang He suffered a lot of casualties and insufficient troops, so he asked Zhang Xiu for reinforcements.
"Let him in!" When Zhang He heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was slightly surprised.
Although he asked for reinforcements, he didn't expect Zhang Xiu to agree, and he didn't expect that it was actually the general of the Cao family, or the most outstanding Cao family Qianli horse in the second generation of the Cao family.
"No!"
It didn't take long for this burly lieutenant general to lead a heroic young man in.
"Cao Xiu meets General Huzhong!"
Cao Xiu looked at Zhang He's back, bowed slightly, and gave a military salute.
"In the land of the army, there is not too much red tape, you don't need to be polite!"
Zhang He turned around, raised his head slightly, looked at this heroic young man, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Among the generals of the Cao family, they basically wish I died, but I didn't expect that there were soldiers and horses willing to reinforce me!" ”
He was Cao Ren killed in battle, and many Cao generals ate his heart, but Cao Cao did not disappoint him, so he was willing to sell himself to Cao Wei to fight.
"General Zhang fought for the Great Wei, you have never betrayed, you have never made mistakes, and you have never been guilty, I, Cao Wenlie, as a general of Cao Wei, are naturally obligated to reinforce the general!" Cao Xiu Lang said.
The generals of the Cao and Xiahou families did hate Zhang He, but he didn't think that Zhang He's actions were anything wrong.
Zhao Yun has already made it clear that he wants to fight, if he retreats half a step, now the soldiers and horses he returned to are estimated to have become martyrs in one place.
Cao Ren's death is just fate, Cao Ren is already a good general, brave and strategic, and not lacking in stability, but he ran into a Zhao Zilong.
Dying on the battlefield can only be said to be his fate as a general.
"Hehe, good!" When Zhang He heard this, he couldn't help laughing, looked at Cao Xiu with more and more appreciation, and said: "You are worthy of Your Majesty's thousand-mile horse, this mind, this eyesight, very good!" ”
Cao Xiu is the most brilliant one among the young generation of Cao Wei, and Cao Cao once praised him as the Cao family's thousand-mile horse.
"General Zhang has won the award, Wen Lie still needs to learn more about the battlefield with General Zhang!" Cao Xiu said modestly.
Zhang He is definitely a famous general, and when he takes the battle of Shangyong as an example, he asks himself if he can't do Zhang He's calmness and resoluteness.
"Come!"
Zhang He beckoned to him, then pointed to the sand table, and said, "Look at this sand table, Zhao Yun is on it now, but he can't find him, do you have any ideas?" ”
"What does the general mean is that Zhao Yun's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have lost their traces?" Cao Xiu frowned slightly when he heard this.
"That's right!"
Zhang He nodded: "Zhang Lu's heavy troops are now placed around Hanshui and here in Dingyuan Town, blocking the road of Nanzheng, and my soldiers and horses are in Xicheng and Shangyong, which can be regarded as having blocked Zhao Yun in the middle, but Zhao Yun has lost his trace since he highlighted my encirclement!" ”
"There is only one possibility, he has broken into pieces!" Cao Xiu said.
"You're smart!"
Zhang He nodded in recognition of his guess, and said: "But we need to know where he gathered his soldiers and horses, even if tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are broken into pieces, they can't completely cover up the traces, but there are too many traces, I can't find Zhao Zilong's Chinese army, they have a clear goal, it must be Nanzheng, if you don't take Nanzheng, his battle is meaningless, and sooner or later he will be consumed by me!" ”
"Tens of thousands of Wu troops, grain and grass should be a big problem!"
"Fight for war!"
Zhang He said: "There is just a few news that in this village and town, three feet have been looted, and the granary that Shangyong was also emptied at the beginning, is enough for them to support half a month!" ”
"Then he won't be able to support it for long, he must take one of the surrounding cities in order to replenish logistics!" Cao Xiu affirmed.
"Well said!"
Zhang He's eyes were sharp, and he looked at the several cities on the sand table, and said, "Now, what is difficult for me to choose, which city does he fall in love with?" (To be continued.) )
