Baling, located in the northeast corner of Chang'an, a highland fifty miles away, in the past, during the Qin Dynasty, it was a barracks station, and later Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty was buried in this mausoleum, which was called the Baling.

The terrain of Baling is dangerous, and relying on the side of the Bahe River, the geographical location is special, for Chang'an City, this is a condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, a good place to camp.

Cao Cao's 30,000 elite soldiers and horses from Luoyang to the south quickly converged with the 20,000 soldiers and horses at the end of Pujin Pass and formed a force of 50,000 soldiers who went south, and they were stationed here in turn.

The Wei army camped, standing from east to west, relying on the Bahe River as a natural danger, and the camp was several miles away.

At night, the night was a little vast, and in the camp, most of the soldiers had rested, all recuperating and preparing for the bloody battle against Chang'an City.

Only the footsteps of a patrol could be heard.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

There are some ceasefires and bright atmospheres.

Cao Cao was wearing a dragon-patterned brocade robe, his long hair was bunned, he sat in the first place, his fists were slightly clenched, his face was gloomy, his eyes were like swords, sharp and cold, staring coldly at Sima Yi kneeling in front of him.

"Zhongda, it's just a day's difference, we can work together inside and outside, break Chang'an in one fell swoop, and recover Guanzhong, but you have disappointed Lone!"

It's still a step too late.

They had already discussed that as long as they supported Ma Xiu to ascend the throne, Sima Yi would be able to control all the forces in Chang'an, and when the time came, they should join forces and break Chang'an in one fell swoop.

Hedong has now been calmed down, as long as Wei recaptures Chang'an, the Liang State will collapse directly, as for Xiliang, it can be obtained without much effort, what a good plan.

Outcome. Just thinking that the difference in time of day, the situation in Chang'an City has changed greatly.

Now that Ma Chao has taken Chang'an, Chang'an City has thick walls, Ma Chao has at least 20,000 former troops in his hands, if he is ruthless enough, there is no problem in gathering 30,000 soldiers and horses.

If he defends Chang'an. In this battle, the Wei army not only had to increase its troops, but also could not fight it at all without three or five months.

After all, Chang'an is the former capital, and Liangguo also reserves a lot of grain and grass, if it is defended, 100,000 soldiers and horses will attack, and it will take several months to besiege them.

"The King. This battle is the incompetence of the subordinates, and the subordinates are willing to accept the guilt, please punish the king! ”

Sima Yi bit his lip, knelt down on his knees, and lowered his head, over the years, he had been smooth sailing and playing with a cool country in his hands. Even Ma Teng, a Xiliang hero, was calculated to death by him.

It was his first fiasco.

"Forget it. Get up! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes flickered, stared at the young man, took a deep breath, and said, "This defeat, Lone will write it down for you." Let's talk about it after the war, you now talk to Gu about the situation in Chang'an City now! ”

It's not that he doesn't want to punish Sima Yi, it's just that he thought about Sima Yi's defeat carefully. For the Wei State, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

Sima Yi was defeated, and the power representing the Guanzhong family was also defeated.

Although he was a little disappointed, he was also relieved.

After all, Sima Yi is still young, and it is a matter of course to lose once or twice, and his ability cannot be denied on this basis alone, even if Cao Cao's most relied on Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia dare not say that they can be absolutely undefeated on the battlefield.

Sima Yi's defeat in Chang'an, the little strength in Guanzhong was also much worse, and in the future, Wei Guo did not have to worry too much about staying in Guanzhong.

"Report to the king, Chang'an City has now been completely controlled by Ma Chao, and Ma Chao has at least 20,000 soldiers and horses!"

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and reported with his hand: "Although his subordinates desperately snatched Ma Xiu, if they want to counterattack Chang'an, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" ”

"Can Matthew be useful?" Cao Cao asked.

"King, Guanzhong has always been ruled by the Liang State for many years, even if it is not deep-rooted, it is somewhat popular with the people, with Ma Xiu, the Wei army can justify the name and attack Chang'an!" Sima Yi said.

In these years, when troops are sent to attack a place, there will always be a name, the so-called army of benevolence and righteousness, which is the will of the people.

"Can he cooperate with the Wei State?" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and asked lightly.

"King, he is just a lost dog now, and he can only cooperate with us!"

Sima Yi said confidently: "His subordinates can grasp him!" ”

"Good!"

Cao Cao nodded, with a hint of war intent in his expression, and said: "After the army is alone, the troops will come to the city tomorrow, and the city will be attacked the day after tomorrow, Wei Duan!" ”

"The last general!"

When Wei Duan heard this, he hurriedly stood up and knelt on one knee.

"In this battle, you are the vanguard, can you have any objections?" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"No!"

Wei Duan's complexion changed slightly, but looking at Cao Cao's eyes as sharp as a sword, his whole body trembled, and he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly took the order.

Even if this is a cannon fodder task, it must be done at any cost.

The two accidents in Hedong and Chang'an have reduced the influence of the Guanzhong family in the Cao Wei camp a lot, and there is no influence without merit.

"Good!"

Cao Cao smiled, among these people from the Guanzhong family, there are a few who can be used, but only this Wei Duan can be a military general: "Let's talk about it, where should we launch the attack on Chang'an City?" ”

"Can you take advantage of Ma Chao's lack of foothold and cavalry raid?"

"If you want to raid, it will take at least one day, and in terms of time, it is enough for Ma Chao to stabilize Chang'an, no!"

"Wouldn't it be easier to attack from the south?"

“……”

In the big camp, a group of generals began to discuss how to capture Chang'an City, Chang'an City is strong, and it is difficult to take it, and they are now short of troops.

"King, Ma Chao has at least 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus Chang'an City, our little strength is not enough!" A general brought it up.

It is impossible for 50,000 troops to capture Chang'an, which is guarded by nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses in Ma Chao, the only way is to increase the troops, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Hedong!

"Someone comes, immediately send an order to Guo Jia to lead the army south within ten days!"

Cao Cao thought about it, this is a fact, you can't rely on luck in the battle, the real battle still needs reinforcements, but he still wants a quick victory, so let Guo Jia speed up the south.

"No!"

The herald quickly walked out of the camp, turned on his horse, and went to Hedong to deliver the order.

"Do you have a way to lure Ma Chao out of the city?"

Cao Cao looked at the several city gates of Chang'an on the marching map, all of them were tall city gates, and there were also guards to the river, if they were defeated, I was afraid that the casualties would be not small, he gritted his teeth and asked.

"It's hard!"

The generals shook their heads.

No one thought that Ma Chao would abandon Chang'an City at this time, and then fight with the Wei army in the field.

"King, Ma Chao is not stupid, he knows very well that once he goes out of the city, this battle will undoubtedly be lost, and he can only stabilize Chang'an by standing in the city and defending it!" Sima Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, at this time, he is a fool, and he also understands that only by sticking to it can he block the lone soldier!"

Cao Cao sighed, if he was replaced, I am afraid he would not abandon the city and fight so stupidly.

――――――――――――――――――

The night was awe-inspiring.

On the side of the Ba River, the river is choppy.

The cold night breeze blew gently, and the Liang army, who everyone in the Wei army camp on the opposite side thought would stand in the city and defend it, could not have imagined that it had now appeared neatly less than five miles away from the Wei army camp.

"Li Zhonglang, we attacked in order to force the Ba River?" Ma Dai didn't understand: "The big river blocking the road is not good for our army, and it is not conducive to the cavalry!" ”

Raid on Baling, there are official roads, mountain roads, and paths, why do you have to take the river road?

"Because only in this direction, the defense of the Wei army on the opposite side is the weakest!" Li Nie's eyes were vivid, and he stood on the side of the Ba River, as if he could see the fire of the camp on the other side.

"Cao Cao is not only the king of Wei, but also a general who has experienced a hundred battles, he is camped here, there must be strict precautions, he has 50,000 elite soldiers, we only have less than 25,000 soldiers and horses, even if the situation of a surprise attack, it may not be able to defeat them, let them react, when the time comes, it is we who want to escape, only from the direction they can't think of, surprise, attack unprepared, in order to defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop!"

"What Li Zhonglang said is very true!"

When Ma Chao heard this, his eyes were hunting, and his fighting spirit was like a rainbow, and he asked, "Li Kan, how many ships have you found?" ”

"Less than a hundred ships!" Li Kandao: "There are still some bamboo rafts!" ”

"Candidate!"

"The last general!"

"Five thousand Xiliang Iron Riders, cross the river first!"

Ma Chao pointed to the opposite camp with a spear in his hand, and said coldly in a low voice: "Once you cross the river, you don't have to wait for anything, immediately raid the Wei army and enter the camp of the Chinese army. ”

"No!"

When the candidate heard this, his expression was hot, and he began to command the soldiers to cross the river.

"In this battle of Chang'an, if there is no gentleman's clever plan, I am afraid that I will be defeated!" The cavalry crossed the river, and the generals waited calmly, and by the river, Ma Chao inadvertently glanced back, and Li Ne, who was standing beside him, had a complicated light in his eyes.

Li Nie once said that he alone can be compared to thousands of troops, before, Ma Chao thought it was a bit bragging, but now, Ma Chao believes it.

His calculations, his timing, and his anticipation of the enemy all opened Ma's eyes.

In the battle of Chang'an, it was not so much that he took Sima Yi by surprise, but that Li Ne calculated Sima Yi.

Sima Yi sent troops to intercept the city gate twice, but Li Nie calculated it, and he was able to win the final victory in one fell swoop with or without intention.

If this person is afraid, if he cannot be taken under his command, he will be killed.

"Between us, it's just a deal!"

Li Nie smiled slightly.

"Sir, you are also a Xiliang Erlang, tonight, please stay with super honesty and assist Liangguo!" Ma Chao said suddenly.

"General, Nirvana has a master!" Li Nie said calmly.

"What a pity!" When Ma Chao heard this, he looked at him with a holy gaze and smiled faintly.

"Huh!"

Ligne just smiled and didn't say anything. (To be continued......)
