Chapter 343: The Second Bullet of the Battle of Jizhou (4) 1/3
For Cao Cao, Liu Chuang has an innate awe.
It's a memory from a past life.
Even in the face of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Liu Chuang would not feel like this.
Although Liu Chuang is now a prince, even compared with Cao Cao, he is only inferior.
However, when he faced Cao Cao, he still had a kind of anxiety. And this kind of anxious psychology can easily make him fall into Cao Cao's trap......
After Zhuge Liang reminded him, he asked Liu Chuang to quickly stabilize his mind.
He began to think calmly about what to do, and he was no longer as impulsive as before.
"To deal with Cao Cao, you must not mess with yourself, you need to stay calm and take every step of the way."
Zhuge Liang didn't understand the reason for Liu Chuang's anxious feelings, but now that Liu Chuang had calmed down, he could boldly admonish, "Cao Cao is powerful today, and the lord must not be anxious." If you are in a hurry, the easier it is for him to take advantage of it, and even be calculated by him.
Behind Cao Cao, there is Jia Xu Xun to give advice, and Xun is strategizing.
Therefore, in this case, the lord should stick to Guanjin and wear down his Cao Cao's spirit...... The sharpness is untenable, and when the time is ripe, the lord can turn the situation around, and then attack and fight against it, it is not impossible. But for now, patience is needed. ”
Liu Chuang, 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Cao Cao, an army of 80,000 ......
In terms of military strength, Cao Cao has an innate advantage, and it is by no means something that Liu Chuang can compete with at present.
"Don't you think that the current situation is actually a copy of another battle of Guandu?"
"Oh?"
Liu Chuang looked at Zhuge Liang thoughtfully, but saw Zhuge Liang's relaxed face.
"Today's Cao Cao is Yuan Shao of the year; And the lord can be compared to Cao Cao at that time.
Of course, today's Cao Cao is far from being comparable to Yuan Shao back then, but today's lord is also not comparable to the original Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's 80,000-strong army attacked, and the momentum was violent.
But in reality, he made a mistake...... He occupied Julu and Zhao Kingdom, but in just a few months, people's hearts were undecided.
In addition, Jizhou has been in war for many years, and it is no longer the situation where money and grain are abundant at the beginning. In this way, if he wants to maintain the war, he must transfer grain and grass from Henan. The long grain road is bound to multiply his pressure. Therefore, Cao Cao designed to let the lord fight him.
And what about the lord?
Youzhou has had bumper harvests of grain year after year, and Zhongshan River has not encountered war for two years.
In this case, the lord will have no worries about food and grass. Moreover, Guanjin is backed by Zhangshui, and Hao Zhao and Zhang Liao guard the Zhangshui ferry. The grain route of the lord can be sent to the battlefield from Zhongshan through the guò waterway. In this big battle, the lord can afford to drag it out, but Cao Cao can't afford it. ”
Liu Chuang nodded again and again, and agreed with Zhuge Liang's analysis.
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun immediately understood, and hurriedly stood up and said, "The lord is now to be more patient with Cao Cao."
Although the lord's army is not stronger than Cao Cao's, the generals under his command are all capable of fighting well. If you really want to fight, you don't necessarily lose...... But in that case, it will be a lose-lose situation, and it will not be beneficial to the lord. Xun discussed with the military advisor, thinking that the top priority of the lord was to drag Cao Cao's troops. The eyes of the lord should not be on Jizhou, as long as other places win, Cao Cao will retreat without a fight. ”
"What Bo Yan said, it is extremely true!"
Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
This duel with Cao Cao had already determined the policy long before he set out on the expedition.
But somehow, when he met Cao Cao, he couldn't restrain the idea of wanting to fight Cao Cao.
Silk Psychology?
Liu Chuang couldn't say clearly, but he simply felt that when he faced Cao Cao, he was really under a lot of pressure!
When Cao Cao brought his troops to come, he found that Liu Chuang had avoided the battle and could not escape.
He couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly sent scouts to find out the news...... As a result, the news from the Guanjin camp was that Liu Chuang was sick!
"Why is he sick when he is so strong?"
"This is true, the villain will never dare to speak."
The scout who went to Guanjin to inquire about the news suddenly panicked, and hurriedly prostrate on the ground and said: "According to the news of the villain's inquiry, Liu Chuang contracted the wind cold last night, so that he fell ill on the bed. It is said that Guanjin is now taking over for his brother-in-law Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Kongming has sent someone to Yanjing to ask Zhang Zhongjing to come to treat Liu Chuang. The villain wanted to inquire again, but Guanjin suddenly strengthened its defenses.
The villain was worried that the military plane would be delayed, so he came back to report. ”
Cao Cao frowned when he heard this.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Yuan Sheng, did you say that a strong person would really be infected by the wind and cold, and then his condition became severe?" ”
Yuansheng is the table word of lipid habits.
He thought for a while, nodded and said, "In my opinion, that Liu Chuang may be infected with wind evil."
This disease does not mean that it will be avoided if you are strong. Sometimes, the stronger the person, the more susceptible it is to be infected by the wind evil. However, this disease comes quickly and goes slowly, and needs to be slowly regulated. Xi has never seen Liu Chuang, so he can't make a conclusion. ”
Cao Cao thought about it and suddenly smiled.
"Yuansheng, why don't you go for me and visit Guanjin?"
"Huh?"
Cao Cao smiled: "No matter what, that Liu Chuang is my son-in-law after all."
I confronted him out of righteousness, not out of personal vendettas...... Now that he is sick, I will pay a visit to him in order to fulfill my affection for my son-in-law. ”
To be honest, Fat Xi was reluctant to visit Liu Chuang.
Even if it is said that the two countries exchange troops and do not kill them, but now Guanjin is like a tiger's den in Longtan.
However, since Cao Cao said it, he couldn't refuse.
So, he made some preparations, and then left the Cao army camp with the mission and went to visit the Han army camp in Guanjin.
In the evening, Zhi Xi returned from Guanjin.
"After Xi entered Guanjin, Uncle Liu Huang received me.
On the surface, Uncle Liu Huang seemed to have a red face, but I noticed that he was sweating after sitting there for a while. When he spoke, his mid-air was not very strong, and he was strong, but he still showed flaws. I thought that Uncle Liu Huang should have been infected with wind evil. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Chuang wanted to hide it, but he didn't expect that Zhi Xi would be a doctor.
This also made him reveal his flaws, and made Cao Cao determined to take this opportunity to attack Guanjin.
It's late at night.
In the camp of the Han army in Guanjin, Liu Chuang looked a little weak.
He sat on the couch chair and shook his head with a wry smile, "Fortunately, Kong Ming guessed Cao Cao's intentions, and he can't say that he will reveal his flaws today." ”
With Cao Cao's suspicious temperament, how could he really believe that Liu Chuang was sick?
So since yesterday, Liu Chuang has not eaten water.
Later, when he met with Fat Xi, he kicked a hot water bladder in his arms. It's already midsummer, and it's getting hotter and hotter. With such a hot water bladder on his body, it is inevitable that he will sweat all over his body. Fat Xi's medical skills are excellent, but after all, he is old. He couldn't get too close to Liu Chuang, so how could he see the clues? However, even though it was only for a while, it was enough to make Liu Chuang feel uncomfortable.
"Next, I wonder how Cao Cao will move?"
Zhuge Liang smiled: "Don't worry, the lord, let's just stick to it ......next."
In May of the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao intensified his offensive against Guanjin.
The attack of the first ** brought great pressure to the Han army...... Pang De, Xu Chu, and Tai Shixiang took turns to command, and Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun were strategizing in the city. The two sides fought in Guanjin for three days, and Cao Cao suffered a lot of losses. However, Guanjin was still firmly in the hands of the Han army.
Liu Chuang did not appear on the battlefield from beginning to end, which made Cao Cao further sure that Liu Chuang was indeed sick.
In this case, of course, he could not let go of the opportunity, although the loss was not small, but Cao Cao still ordered to continue to attack Guanjin.
By the fifth day, Cao Cao's offensive suddenly slowed down.
The onslaught of the days made his soldiers very tired...... If the assault continues, it will not backfire.
In this case, Cao Cao had no choice but to give an order to rest for a day before attacking.
But that night, he suddenly received a battle report that the Han army had broken through the north, captured Zhang Ji, and the soldiers were about to shoot Gushan......
This is the rhythm to seize the level!
Cao Cao was shocked.
"The north was taken away, Zhang was captured, why is there no news?"
Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "This time Ma Chao went to Beidi County, which is quite strange.
It stands to reason that the person he did was Lingwu Valley, and the Taishou Zhang of the Northland stationed nearly a thousand soldiers and horses in Lingwu Valley, was unknowingly taken down by the Xiliang military gods. Zhang Ji immediately joined forces with Yao Qiong, the captain of Lingzhou, to cross the river to recapture Lian County. How do you know that he was intercepted halfway by the Xiliang army, Zhang was captured, and Yao Qiong was killed...... Later, Zhang Ji surrendered to the Xiliang army, and then led the Xiliang army to take Fuping without blood.
The lord may not know that although this is not a long time for the Taishou of the Northland, he is quite famous in Liangzhou, especially Sanfu.
He led the way, and there was no resistance at all the passes along the way...... The Western Liang Army can be said to have driven straight to Shegu Mountain, which caused turmoil in Anding County. Ma Chao personally led a large army and captured Fengyi Mountain. Now under the rule of Liangzhou, the people are panicked and in chaos. ”
Cao Cao's face was gloomy like water.
After a while, he said softly, "Why didn't Wei Duan let Han Sui send troops?" ”
Jia Xu replied: "That Han Sui is known as the Nine Songs, and he is extremely shrewd.
Wei Duan didn't send people to Jincheng, but Han Sui refused to send troops to rescue him under the pretext that the Hehuang Qiang people were in turmoil...... It is precisely because of this that Liangzhou is so chaotic. Wei Duanyi also sent people to Wei Qi for help, but after the Xiliang army shot Gushan, the troops in Guanzhong were empty, and there was no one available in Wei Qi's hands, where were there still people to support Wei Duan? ”
"How is the battle in Hedong?"
"The bandits in Hedong have been pacified, the bandit leader Jiao Touche was killed by General Cao Ren, and the bandits from all over the country surrendered one after another."
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, raised his head and said: "Immediately pass on my order, and lead his troops back to Guanzhong to support Wei Duan, and must not make Liangzhou lose." ”
Jia Xu seemed to hesitate, "Kezi and Ruo leave Hedong, and Yuan Chang alone ......"
Cao Cao suddenly felt a chill, and Xun's voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
"The lord must not underestimate that Liu Mengyan, his appetite is not small."
At that time, when Xun said this, he offended many people.
Even Cao Cao felt that Xun overestimated Liu Chuang...... But as the battle began, he suddenly found that Xun was not exaggerating.
Liu Chuang's appetite is indeed more amazing than he imagined.
However, if Cao Ren did not send troops to the rescue, the situation in Liangzhou would inevitably be even worse.
Now everyone knows that behind the Xiliang Army is Liu Chuang.
