Chapter 331: The Battle of Jizhou (7)
Cao Cao, a generation of heroes!
It's just that due to the limitations of the times, even a figure like Cao Cao can't really understand the importance of coastal defense. At that time, Liu Chuang built a dock in Xiami and made sea ships, and Cao Cao was not unclear. It's just that he didn't take this matter to heart, so he has never strengthened the construction of coastal defense. As a result, Cao Cao's control over the coastal areas was very weak.
Even if he has now realized the importance of coastal defense, it is still a little late to make up for it.
Xun pondered for a long time and said, "Sikong doesn't have to worry too much about this water army.
Raids will be harassment, especially in Qingzhou, if there is no strong support, they can only do raids, but they cannot affect the overall situation.
Sikong Ke ordered Qingzhou to strengthen the guards, and at the same time move the coastal people to the interior, clear the wilderness, and minimize the losses caused by the Chuang Er Naval Army. As a top priority, Sikong should stick to the original plan and step up the offensive against Handan. Let him break through all kinds of means, Sikong has only one purpose, that is, to capture Handan, eliminate Yuan Shang, and force Na Chuang Er to face Sikong head-on......"
Obviously, Xun had a lot of trust in Cao Cao's power.
In his opinion, although Liu Chuang is strong, if he really wants to face it head-on, it is still Cao Cao who has the upper hand.
After listening to Xun's words, Cao Cao finally stabilized his mind.
Yes, Liu Chuang is such a surprise soldier, doesn't he just want to delay time and contain my strength? This also shows that Liu Chuang himself knows that it is not easy for him to win in a head-to-head duel. In that case, why should I care about his petty means?
After eliminating Yuan Shang, even if Liu Chuang didn't want to fight at that time, he would have no other choice......
"What Wen Ruo said is extremely true, I was indeed disturbed by that intrusion just now.
However, it is imminent to eliminate Yuan Shang, but it is also necessary to give Yuan Tan some support and hope. In this way, Yan Liangwen Chou and Ziyuan led their troops to garrison Jiangshui in case Chuang Er attacked Qinghe. And let that Yuan Tan contain Chuang Er for us, you and I should concentrate on intensifying the attack on Handan, and be sure to completely solve the enemy of Handan before the arrival of the New Year...... When the time comes, Chuang Er will only be able to fight with us. ”
Cao Cao, this is a surprise soldier who is attacking and no longer pays attention to Liu Chuang.
Xun nodded in agreement.
Judging from the current situation, strengthening the offensive against Handan is indeed Cao Cao's best choice.
It's just that Xun is still a little worried.
There are a lot of capable people around Liu Chuang, although his brother Xun Chen said that his reputation is not as loud as his own, but if he talks about ability, he may not be inferior to himself.
With him assisting Liu Chuang, how can he sit back and watch Cao Cao eliminate Yuan Shang?
Xun believes that Liu Chuang must have a follow-up move...... This guy can't just be a simple attack, I'm afraid there are more powerful means that haven't been used.
As soon as he thought of this, Xun's heart couldn't help but sink.
To be honest, he really didn't want to fight Liu Chuang. The reason is very simple! Liu Chuang, this guy seems to be able to predict the future, and every time he makes a move, he will hit Cao Cao's weakness hard. From the initial alliance to the final hostility, Liu Chuang can always predict the prophet. This made Xun feel very uncomfortable, and at the same time, it also made Liu Chuang shrouded in a veil of mystery, making it difficult for Xun to see through it......
But now, he has to face off against Liu Chuang.
If Liu Chuang doesn't get rid of the Han Dynasty, Zhongxing can only be an empty word!
Brother, let me see if there are any other tricks you haven't used......
October, snow in Liangzhou.
Since Ma Teng was killed, the Xiliang group of dragons had no leader, and chaos followed.
Fortunately, Ma Chao has been recuperating in the Western Regions for three years, and he has achieved the climate. Ma Teng was killed, Ma Tie was killed in battle, Ma Teng's second son Ma Xiu immediately sent people to the Western Regions urgently, met Ma Chao in Wuji Lieutenant City, stated the stakes, and implored Ma Chao to lead his troops to return to Wuwei.
Ma Teng's death was too sudden.
When Ma Chao learned the news of Ma Teng's death, he couldn't help crying.
The relationship between father and son has become very bad as early as ten years ago. Ma Teng doesn't like Ma Chao, and Ma Chao doesn't like Ma Teng...... Especially after the death of Ma Chao's grandfather in the war, the relationship between father and son became even weaker. If it weren't for that, how could Ma Teng have thought of sending Ma Chao to Xu Du as a hostage? However, later Ma Chao went to the Western Regions, and the contradictions between the two weakened.
Ma Chao is unwilling to play for Ma Teng, and would rather stand on his own.
As a result, the father-son relationship is much more frequent than before.
Anyway, Ma Teng and Ma Chao are father and son after all.
Ma Teng was killed by Han Sui, which also made Ma Chao extremely angry.
After receiving Ma Xiu's notice, Ma Chao immediately gathered 10,000 elite soldiers, took Ma Dai as the vanguard, and returned to Wuwei from Wuji Lieutenant City......
Xiliang Jinma Chao's reputation was not obtained out of thin air.
Ma Chao's status in Xiliang is very high, and he has Qiang blood flowing in his body, so the Qiang people living in Xiliang also identify with him very much.
Jin Ma joined the army with his father at the age of fifteen, and he was famous for killing with a knife and a shot.
Therefore, when he learned that Ma Chao had returned to Xiliang from the Western Regions, Wuwei, who was still a little turbulent, suddenly stabilized. Han Sui eliminated Ma Teng, and also paid a lot of price.
However, with the help of Zhong Xuan and Wei Qi, Han Sui couldn't help but quickly recover his vitality, and was rewarded by the imperial court.
After replenishing the soldiers and horses, Han Sui followed Zhong Xuan's instructions and marched westward to Wuwei.
It's just that when Han Sui arrived at Yinhe, he suddenly heard that Ma Chao led his troops to return to Guzang. Han Sui was taken aback and hurriedly ordered to stop the westward advance.
"Why is the general holding back?"
Yang Fu, the servant of Liangzhou who went west with Han Sui, couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Han Sui smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that Ma Chao would return to Wuwei so soon."
Ma Teng died in battle, I thought that his son Ma Xiu would stand on his own, but I didn't want him to give up self-reliance and send people to the Western Regions to welcome back Ma Mengqi. ”
"This Ma Chao, is it very powerful?"
Yang Fu couldn't help but ask in surprise.
This Yang Fu, a native of Hanyang County, is quite talented and well-known in Liangzhou.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, Yang Fu had been engaged in the identity of Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weiduan to Xuchang to meet Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was very important, and he was appointed to settle down for a long time. After Yang Fu returned from Xudu, all the generals in Guanzhong asked him who would win between Yuan and Cao. At that time, Yang Fu said: Yuan Shao is generous but not decisive, likes strategy but lacks decision-making. If you are not decisive, there is no majesty; Lack of decision-making leads to mistakes.
Although he is strong now, he will not be able to achieve great things in the end.
Cao Cao had great talent and foresight, did not hesitate to make decisions and adaptations, unified government orders and excellent troops, and all talents could do their best.
Yang Fu finally concluded that Cao Cao would inevitably win.
And the facts also proved his judgment, and Yang Fu gained great prestige in Liangzhou.
It's just that he didn't want to take on the job, so he resigned and didn't do it. Wei Duan also liked Yang Fu's talent, so he recruited him as a servant.
However, although Yang Fu is familiar with the scenery of Liangzhou, he does not know much about Ma Chao.
Seeing Han Sui's frightened expression, Yang Fu couldn't help but be a little curious.
Han Sui smiled bitterly: "Ma Mengqi is Ma Teng's eldest son, brave and invincible, and famous in Xiliang.
If it weren't for his low background and half Qiang blood, Ma Teng would not be pleased. Otherwise, if he follows Ma Teng, I will not dare to do anything to Ma Teng. There is the courage of Fan Hao Yingbu here, and it is invincible. Moreover, he is extremely prestigious among the people of Xiliangqiang, and if he attacks Wuwei now, he may not be an opponent. It is imperative to report to Mr. Yuan Chang and ask him to allocate reinforcements and gather heavy troops in order to succeed in the first battle. ”
It can be seen that Han Sui is very jealous of Ma Chao.
But he praised Ma Chao so much, but it angered a general behind Yang Fu.
That general's name is Wang Tong, a famous general in Liangzhou, and he is a person who is highly valued by Wei Duan's subordinates, and he is arrogant.
"It's just a mongrel, why is General Han so afraid?
No matter how powerful Ma Chao is, he is just a child, and now my heavenly army is in the Yin River, how can he be held back? A certain is willing to ask the general for war and go to the first level of the horse super. ”
Han Sui is subordinate to Wei Duan, but he is not a close confidant.
But Wang Tong is different, it is a cronie of Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weiduan, so he doesn't seem very respectful in his words.
Han Sui's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly smiled: "Since General Wang has this heart, I am happy."
I will invite General Wang to fight, and I should wait for good news on the bank of the Yin River. ”
Wang Tong showed disdain on his face, snorted coldly, and retreated.
Yang Fu also knew that Wang Tong looked down on Han Sui, but Yang Fu was quite clear about Han Sui's methods.
From a Hanshi, to today's party Taishou. If Han Sui didn't have real skills, how could he rise? He praised Ma Chao so much, presumably Ma Chao must have something extraordinary. So, Yang Fu hurriedly confessed to Han Sui, turned around and hurriedly walked out of the big tent, and went to chase Wang Tong.
Looking at Yang Fu's back, Han Sui suddenly sneered.
He turned his head to Yan Xing, who was standing behind him, and said, "Wei Duan's subordinates, there are many such reckless people, and they can't become a climate.
However, when Ma Chao returns to Wuwei today, he will not give up. Although Zhong Yuanchang is good to me, he is actually just using it...... As for Wei Duan and his ilk, they won't take me seriously, wishing I had been unlucky earlier. Now that Wang Tong is willing to die, we will wait and see what happens. If Ma Chao wins, we will immediately withdraw our troops and return to Jincheng; They want me and Ma Chao to lose both, how can I let them fulfill their wishes? You immediately go and inform Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing and Ma Wan, and ask them not to act rashly. ”
Han Sui, there are eight generals.
It's just that when the fire merged with Ma Teng, the candidate, Li Kan and Cheng Yi were killed in battle, so that now there are only five generals left.
However, counting Yan Xing, there are still six generals, and Han Sui's vitality is not injured.
He is a person, just like what others call him, his heart is like the Yellow River and he has a lot of calculations, how can he really be with Ma Chaohuo?
If Ma Chao didn't come back, Han Sui would be full of confidence.
A Matthew, he doesn't take it to heart.
But if Ma Chao is added, although Han Sui has a chance of winning, he will still feel a headache.
