Chapter 187: The Wisdom of the Tang Dynasty

When Zhang Bao's army captured the city of Jizhou, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren, Sima Yi, Le Jin, Lei Tong, Wei Yan, Sha Moke, Yan Yan Zhan Group and 150,000 soldiers and horses to defend and annex the state, mainly to prevent Zhang Bao from attacking and annexing the state. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info and instructed the Huashan faction to assist Cao Ren in defending and annexing the state.

The Huashan faction accepted Cao Cao's request. The Huashan faction now has a starting lineup for building the foundation realm: attacking mages - Zhang Yi and Lin Xiangru, auxiliary mages - Wei Ran, attacking warriors - Sima Cuo and Wei Wuji, defensive warriors Wang Qian, and assassin Cao Mo.

After Zhang Bao joined Zhuge Liang's army, the strength reached 450,000, and Zhang Bao decided to take advantage of the victory to attack and annex the state. The reason why Zhang Bao decided this way was because the state was previously under his jurisdiction. The ghost clan did not belong to him, but to Cao Cao, which made Zhang Bao very angry. He thought that since the ghost clan didn't look down on him, the ghost clan should vacate the territory that occupied him, so Zhang Bao decided to drive the ghost clan out of the state.

The ghost clan in Bingzhou has the command of Cao Ren and Sima Yi, plus the assistance of the elite of the Cao army, and is not as weak as Zhang Jiao in Jizhou. Moreover, the Cao army has absolute command over the ghost clan army, so it is not divided into two camps like the Jizhou army.

Zhang Bao's army was extremely fiercely blocked at Niangzi Pass. In particular, Cao Cao's beast army caused a lot of casualties to Zhang Bao's army. Fortunately, Zhang Bao's army had many generals, and with the full assistance of the three sects, Niangziguan was successfully taken down after a day and a night of fierce fighting.

After Niangzi Pass was taken, Zhang Bao's army rested for a day and continued to advance into the interior of Bingzhou. Cao Ren listened to Sima Yi's suggestion and sent the beast army to constantly harass Zhang Bao's army, seriously delaying the Tang army's marching speed. Moreover, every city of the Cao army was defended regardless of size, making it difficult for the Tang army to take every step forward.

Zhang Bao didn't expect that Bingzhou would be so difficult to capture, but he thought of the harm of the Jindan Border War in the future, so he made up his mind to take Bingzhou at all costs. Zhang Bao believed that only by taking and annexing the states could he use the Yellow River Heavenly Punishment to ensure the safety of the states under his rule.

After Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang understood Zhang Bao's intentions, they both tried their best to think of clever strategies to defeat the enemy and try to minimize the battle damage.

When Zhang Bao's army triumphed all the way and fought hard to the outside of Yangyi City, Taiyuan County, Cao Cao had already brought the elite high-level of Yizhou to Taiyuan City. Just wait for the high-level Wu State and the people of the Snowy Divine Sect to arrive, and they will besiege Zhang Bao's army together. To this end, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to defend the city of Yangyi with 50,000 heavy troops. Cao Cao wanted to put the battlefield of besieging Zhang Bao in Yangyi City.

Regarding the arrival of Cao Cao and others, the Tang Dynasty's Tanma also inquired, but Zhang Bao, who was confident of his strength, did not take Cao Cao and his party in his eyes. Zhang Bao believed that the top echelons of Shu Han were no match for the Tang Dynasty. However, Jia Xu realized that something was wrong, but he had always been careful and did not remind Zhang Bao in time, he wanted to wait until he straightened out his thoughts. And Zhuge Liang didn't know that Zhang Bao had been attacked in Jizhou until this time.

On the night after Cao Cao arrived in Taiyuan City, Sun Quan came with the black-clothed Shenggu and others. Sun Quan listened to Lu Xun's suggestion, and took everyone to take a detour to Jingzhou and Sili to Taiyuan City, and did not pass through Zhang Bao's territory. Coupled with the caution of Sun Quan and others along the way, Zhang Bao's Tanma did not find out the news of Sun Quan and others.

After Sun Quan arrived, Cao Cao secretly received Sun Quan, and placed everyone to hide and cultivate in Taiyuan City, only waiting for a suitable time to go to war.

Two days later, after a full day of siege battles, Zhang Bao's army finally repelled Cao Ren's army and captured Yangyi City. And Cao Cao also secretly met with Sun Quan and the black-clothed holy aunt after dark: "Two, tonight is the moment when Zhang Bao dies!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan nodded and said, "The timing chosen by the Lord of Cao is very good, I don't know how the Lord of the Cao Kingdom arranged it?" ”

Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan and nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but think a little higher at Sun Quan, and also admired Sun Jian for having such an outstanding heir. After retracting his thoughts, he smiled and said, "There are many generals under Zhang Bao's command, and it is obviously unrealistic for us to leave all of them in Yangyi City tonight. I plan to surround the three missing one, leave the road leading to Niangziguan, and let them return to Jizhou. ”

Hearing this, the black-clothed holy aunt sneered: "Lord Cao, is this what you said about letting Zhang Bao die?" I think you're planning to let Zhang Bao live! ”

Sun Quan shook his head when he heard this: "Holy Aunt, you must have misunderstood Lord Cao, I guess that Lord Cao must have ambushed heavy troops on the way to Niangzi Pass, as long as we inflict heavy damage on Zhang Bao in Yangyi City, they will not be able to escape from Niangzi Pass." Isn't this still us? ”

Hearing this, the black-clothed holy aunt said angrily: "I don't understand your routines of marching and fighting, I just want that bud to die in front of my eyes!" ”

"Hehehe, it will! Saint Gu will definitely see that scene tonight. You two listen to my arrangement......" Cao Cao looked at Shenggu and Sun Quan with a smile. Then he laid out his plan and laid it out.

Sun Quan and the black-clothed holy aunt both bowed their heads slightly after hearing this, and they agreed with Cao Cao's strategy.

Seeing this, Cao Cao said with a straight face: "Without further ado, since both of you have accepted my suggestion, let's act as soon as possible!" Remember, the premise of the success of our strategy is that the three of us must hold their respective positions and force Zhang Bao to the direction of Niangzi Pass, otherwise everything will be in vain! ”

"I don't need you to tell me this, our Snow Domain Divine Sect will definitely not have any problems, you two don't have any moths!" The black-clothed holy aunt said coldly.

Hearing this, Sun Quan smiled and hugged his fists and said: "The three of us will work together for a while, no matter which direction Zhang Bao and the others choose to break through, the other two must help in time." Otherwise, it is not good for anyone if things fail! ”

"Okay, then let's settle it! Let's go! After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Sun Quan and the black-clothed holy aunt also left.

Taiyuan City is not far from Yangyi City. Two hours later, the sound of iron cavalry coming from the direction of Taiyuan City woke up all the Tang troops in Yangyi City.

Zhang Bao immediately convened all the brothers above four stars to discuss the matter.

"Hahaha......, Zhang Bao, your death time has arrived! Don't come out and die! ”

As soon as the brothers arrived, Cao Ren's laughter and shouting came from outside.

Everyone was about to go out to meet the enemy, but Zhang Bao said loudly: "Stop me, do you plan to go out and die like this?" ”

When all the generals heard this, they all stopped, returned to their respective positions, and looked at Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao said with a deep face: "Xi Shi, take your subordinates out to find out the situation!" ”

"Command!" Xi Shi hugged his fists and took the five four-star teams of Taishan Sect and left.

"Bang bang bang...... Yes! Soon, there was a sound of fighting and screaming outside. The generals were about to get up again when they heard the sound, but they were shocked by Zhang Bao again.

"Hold it all for me!" Zhang Bao glared.

Soon, Xi Shi came back with the disciples of Taishan Sect. But when they went out, they were thirty-six, and when they came back, there were only twenty-two. And most of them are already wounded.

"Your Majesty, there are a large number of masters in the south, north, and west, only the east is empty! The brothers to the south and west were killed! They didn't last more than a round! Xi Shi said to Zhang Bao the information she had obtained.

"Round three to one! Your Majesty, the east is a bigger trap at all, and we must not break through to the east. Zhou Yu stood up and hugged his fists.

Zhuge Liang also hugged his fists when he heard this: "Your Majesty, what Gong Jin said is extremely true!" And now the situation is extremely critical, and I hope that Your Majesty will make a decision quickly. The minister thought that it would be better to break through to the north. As long as we break through the blockade in the north, we will be able to return to Youzhou through Yanmen Pass and get out of danger. ”

Jia Xu squinted his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, what Kong Ming said is reasonable. Chancellor thinks we should break out in two parts in two directions. One way is that the ordinary soldiers are led by Kong Ming to break through to the north, and one way His Majesty leads us to the south to break through, so that we can cover our army to successfully break through to the territory of Youzhou, and there are so many of us, it is no problem to protect Your Majesty's safety! ”

"Kill! Kill me! Let's see how long that bud can hide! At this time, there was the shouts of the masters of the Foundation Building Realm and the miserable cries of Zhang Bao's army outside.

Hearing this, Zhang Bao got up and said, "The matter is urgent, and the generals must act in strict accordance with my orders." Combined with Taiwei's suggestion, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Ma Dai and Wuziliang and Hengshan Ma Liji obeyed orders! ”

"The last general!" Hearing this, the eleventh general got up and hugged his fists.

Zhang Bao hurriedly said: "I ordered each of you ten to lead your soldiers to break through to the north and approach Yanmen Pass. Ma Liji led the Hengshan Sect team all the way to open the way for the army. ”

"The last general commands!" Eleven generals hug their fists together.

Hearing this, Zhang Bao looked at Ma Liji and said: "Ma Liji, your Hengshan Sect team is not allowed to participate in the battle before leaving Yangyi City, you only need to pretend to be ordinary soldiers, ride horses and mix in the cavalry to break through, and after we lead away the masters in the north, you will open the way for the army, understand?" ”

Ma Liji clenched her fists when she heard this: "Your Majesty, the minister understands!" Your Majesty, the army does not have to go to Yanmen Pass, the army can go directly to the Hengshan Sect. The Hengshan Sect has enough strength to protect the army. ”

Zhang Bao nodded when he heard this: "Okay, all the generals must obey Ma Liji's command, and they can't march at will, do you understand?" ”

"The last general commands!" Xiahou Yuan's ten people hugged their fists again.

"Go ahead!" After Zhang Bao finished speaking, Ma Liji and the others bowed solemnly to Zhang Bao, and then got up and left.

Zhang Bao looked at the remaining brothers and said, "Everyone is ready to break through, and follow me to the south to break through and leave!" After the battle began, the three sect main teams, the Kong Ming team and my team opened the way in front, and the rest of the brothers guarded the left and right. We don't want to kill the enemy, but we must break through as soon as possible, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Everyone stood up in unison and said.

"Your Majesty, can we go south to the Songshan Sect? In this way, even if a brother is accidentally separated, it is better to have a purpose to find us. Xi Pseudo hugged Zhang Bao with his fist.

Hearing this, Zhang Bao nodded and said, "Okay, our goal is the Songshan Sect!" Get loaded! Kill! ”

After Zhang Bao finished shouting, the three sect main teams and the teams of Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang quickly rushed out of the gate and killed to the south. At the same time, everyone summoned their respective war beasts in unison.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out! (To be continued.) )
