"The enemy has a gap, and I have a flaw, and then raise troops to attack it, it is a thousand moves, and it will be decided in a war! Hehe, Yuan Zhi's use of soldiers is really eclectic, and he has won the gist of the art of war. ”

"Needless to say, my second brother is the most cunning, how many people are against him? How was that drama back then? In terms of status, it is not under today's Guo Jia, in terms of strategy, he is also the head of Cao Jun's advisers, and it is not a few times that he has been deflated and retreated, and finally settled in Mount Tai? That Ma Teng and Han Sui are two hillbillies, and it's strange if they don't follow his ways. ”

"Why does Ziyi have such a deep understanding? Ah, yes! At that time in Duchang, you and Yuan Zhi were no less...... Hmm. ”

Thirty miles away in Chuilong City, Qingzhou generals gathered together, and the atmosphere was very warm.

The current situation is not ordinarily good, but great, and the dawn of victory is just around the corner!

After the capture of Yanzhou, Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw's troops and horses formed a flanking attack on the Jiangdong army, even if they could not drive it back to Jiangdong, they could completely eliminate the threat of the Jiangdong army, so that they could not continue to reinforce Cao Cao.

After Yu Ban and Lu Bu freed up their hands, they could not only join forces to attack Cao Cao's main force, but also sweep Yingchuan and force Cao Cao to divide his troops to rescue.

Cao Cao could give up Chen Liu, but Yingchuan was his root and had to be saved. Once lost, the war potential of Cao Cao's forces would decline sharply, and even his main forces would be in danger of unrest.

Lu Bu's troops are the best at running and attacking, and Yu Ban is good at guarding, with him guarding the back road, Lu Bu has no worries at all. Attack with all your might, and you can exert 12 points of combat power on the plains. Unless it is a tiger and a leopard horse, there is no way of soldiers and horses in Cao's army that can stop its edge.

Although Cao Cao was still able to transfer reinforcements from Jingzhou, Guanzhong, and even Yizhou to help in the war. But first, the far water is not as thirsty as the near, and secondly, Jingzhou is still controlled by Liu Biao, and all the troops cannot be mobilized, and Yizhou is far away, even if Liu Yan immediately sends reinforcements, and when the Sichuan soldiers arrive at the Central Plains battlefield, they don't know that it is the Year of the Monkey, and it is not worth looking forward to at all.

Before the news of the success of Xu Shu's counter-plot came, the biggest uncertain factor was in the merger, and now, the Xiliang Army, which is the most threatening, is basically no longer a concern.

Ma Teng and Han Sui are not indiscriminate people, but these two have had a grudge for a long time, and it has long been difficult to resolve.

If Cao Cao has time, it would be good to make peace for the two leaders of Xiliang, maybe he can suppress the contradictions between the two and shake hands again. But the question is, it takes a month to go back and forth to merge the state, so does Cao Cao dare to leave now?

Except for Cao Cao himself, who can command the 80,000 main army in Luoyang?

In the past few years, Cao Cao's expansion rate has never risen, and he has never fought in several battlefields at the same time, and the main battles are commanded by Cao Cao himself. The training of the generals was very limited, and the only ones who could be called to have the experience of being in charge were his brothers, the most effective of which Cao Ren died in Hebei.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not dare to leave the Chinese army at all.

"It may not be too late for him to dare to leave. Yuan Zhixin made it clear that he saw the weakness of the Xiliang army's lack of food, first strictly guarded it, and the strong walls and thick bases wore down the spirit of the Xiliang army, and when he lost his sharpness and tried to find another way, he released rumors in a timely manner. ”

"First of all, Ma Teng wanted to stay Han Sui in Bingzhou, borrow the hand of our army, consume Han Sui's strength, Ma Teng went to Hanoi to pinch soft persimmons by himself, and then said that Ma Teng knew that General Gongsun was eyeing the fortress, but he still wanted Han Sui to detour Wuyuan and Yunzhong to attack Yanmen, which made Han Sui suspicious, and even Ma Teng held a military meeting with hundreds of armor guards to go."

Before Ma Teng could explain clearly and eliminate the misunderstanding, Cao Cao's messenger arrived again, and the rumors happened to be confirmed, so Han Sui was also furious, scolding Ma Teng for being unkind and unjust, and Ma Teng also had new and old hatreds in his heart, and the two almost pulled out their knives on the spot. In my opinion, a large-scale conflict is in the near future, and it is difficult to do so now. ”

Jia Xu also came to Chuilong City for this matter. Ma Teng and Han Sui turned against each other, which had a huge impact on the situation of the war in Bingzhou, and then affected the entire Central Plains War, and Qingzhou also needed to revise the overall strategy. As a military advisor, Jia Xu naturally had to be present.

The original strategy of the Qingzhou Army was to contain the soldiers and horses of Xiliang and Jiangdong, and closely pursued Cao Cao to fight to the death. Now that Xu Shu has succeeded in dividing the line, it is worth giving priority to solving the Xiliang Army.

Cao Cao used his troops steadily, although the combat strength of the army was slightly inferior, and the run-in of the old and new troops was insufficient, but under his command, he was full of resilience and could never find a major flaw. Especially with the addition of Ma Jun and others, the gap between the two sides has also flattened a lot in terms of long-range weapons, and the battlefield of Tiger Prison Pass has always been in a state of stalemate.

On the other hand, the Xiliang Army has a lot of weaknesses.

The foundation of Ma Teng and Han Sui is in Xiliang, whether it is in Hetao or Hedong, they are in a state of unstable foothold. The supply of grain and grass could not keep up, and the orders of the troops were not uniform. With such a large-scale coalition army, it is good to fight a favorable battle, but once it encounters a setback, it will immediately be full of contradictions.

As long as he took advantage of the disagreement between Ma Teng and Han Sui, and even the opportunity of infighting to give a heavy blow, the seemingly powerful army of 300,000 suddenly collapsed.

Therefore, Jia Xu explained Xu Shu's discord plan in detail, so that everyone could scrutinize, ponder, and then make suggestions.

Tai Shici proposed: "Actually, you can discuss with Wen Hou, let him and Wen Chang lead the army into Hedong through Hanoi, and wait for the opportunity to join Yuan Zhi and attack the Western Liang army together." ”

"But Wen Hou refused at the beginning, how can he agree now, it's better to come and go through this experience."

Zhao Yun shook his head, and then Mao Sui recommended himself: "Attacking the Xiliang Army with the Bingzhou Legion focuses on the grasp of the timing, rather than the number of troops and the strength of the combat power. If the timing is right, it can play a role in shifting thousands of pounds, and others will be hindered sooner or later. ”

"You have a point."

Tai Shici nodded, clasped his hands together and rubbed them back and forth a few times, and said with a smile: "In that case, you and my brother will go out together." Although Cao Cao's military methods are high, it is really unpleasant to fight. It's not a temptation, it's just a shallow taste, and occasionally two big fights, but as soon as he hits the head, he retreats, which is really not enjoyable. ”

"Ahem." Lu Su, who came with Jia Xu, but had not made a sound, suddenly coughed twice, as if to remind something. Tai Shi Ci looked over in surprise, but found that Lu Su was looking at him vigorously.

Tai Shi Ci followed Lu Su's eyes and looked over, and then suddenly realized that Wang Yu had not spoken, and there was no joy on his face, and he seemed to be a little absent-minded.

Tai Shi Ci blinked, a little confused, and asked, "Lord, but did the last general say something wrong?" ”

"Not really." Wang Yu raised his head as if he woke up, looked around at everyone, and suddenly asked a strange question: "Do you really think the situation is very good?" Sending a cavalry north to help in the battle can defeat the Xiliang army? ”

...... "Everyone look at me, I look at you, and they all feel that the lord's question is unfathomable, and they don't know where to start."

"In the opinion of the Lord, what should I do?" After fully integrating into the atmosphere of Qingzhou, Zhuge Liang's style has a tendency to move closer to Xuchen, and his speech is very straightforward.

"It's hard to say." Wang Yu said noncommittally: "Ma Teng and Han Sui are evil, if they raise a large army, it is okay to attack each other, I am afraid that they will have a Hongmen banquet like a fire, if Han Sui wins, it is okay, at most it is similar to before, I am afraid that it is another situation......"

"Even if Ma Teng wins, it won't be a problem, right?" Jia Xu also frowned, not knowing where Wang Yu's worries came from. Ma Teng and Han Sui are actually good all the way, and when they are strictly calculated, Han Sui's record is more convincing.

Han Sui's troops were mainly Han rebels, and Ma Teng's troops were mainly Qianghu, no matter what kind of fire the two sides experienced, in the end, it would have a great impact on the morale of the army and the combat strength of the army, which was irreversible.

Wang Yu was silent and did not answer.

In fact, he didn't take Ma Teng and Han Sui in his eyes, what really made him scruples, and even triggered an ominous premonition, was another person - Ma Chao!

The Xiliang army in history, in fact, has never been a climate, until Ma Chao raised troops, fought with Cao Cao in Guanzhong, defeated Cao Cao on the shore of Weishui, forced Cao Cao to cut his beard and abandon his robe, and then escaped.

Wang Yu couldn't be sure what the situation was like within the Xiliang Army when Ma Chao raised the army, and whether it was possible to replicate it in the current merger, but he had always been worried.

Therefore, he formulated the strategy of breaking Cao Cao first and focusing on containing the Western Liang Army, for fear of detonating the unstable factors of the Western Liang Army.

In his mind, as long as the Bingzhou Army held the danger, when Cao Cao was too busy to take care of himself, he would not be able to provide support for the supply of the Xiliang army. It won't be long before the Xiliang army runs out of food and retreats, and it's not too late to deal with them when the time comes.

But his worries have no basis, and he can't tell them to his generals. Xu Shu formulated a strategy of active defense according to the overall battle situation, which cannot be said to be wrong.

If Xu Shu was just closed and stuffy, he would not be able to contain the Xiliang army, and the latter could divide his troops to the south and north, and put his troops into other battlefields.

Wang Yu is familiar with ancient and modern allusions, and will definitely not make the mistake of remote control, the generals are outside, and the other party has to judge the situation by himself, and take corresponding countermeasures, the monarch is thousands of miles away remote control is a taboo for soldiers.

Now that Xu Shu has already launched, it is too late to say anything, Wang Yu thought about it again and again, and finally made an unexpected decision.

"I intend to personally lead the army to the north, turn the Central Plains battlefield from offensive to defensive, first break the Xiliang Army, and then fight the Central Plains!"
