Cao Hong This is undoubtedly extremely bad news for Cao Cao, Cao Hong was destroyed, Wei Yan and Pang Yuan skipped Fule and led the army to pounce on Yangxia, the lack of Yangxia defenders and the low morale of the main general was killed, and it was captured by Wei Yan and 100,000 Inhuman troops that night, and the Fule defenders abandoned Fule and evacuated south after Cao Cao's direct order.

Wei Yan led his troops to intercept and kill the Fule defenders on the way, who knew that the Changping defenders also abandoned Changping and went north, merged with the defenders evacuated from Fule, and then calmly went to Chen County.

Although Wei Yan harassed along the way, because Cao's army was very tenacious, the team that received it from Chen County also arrived, and in the end Wei Yan still did not finish the whole work.

However, Fule and Changping were won without a fight, Gao Ran moved the station to Changping, and Wei Yan was still each other's horns, Changping changed hands, and let the stable and strong Ji Ling expose his back, and Liu Bei's army had already arrived in Linying, and it was possible to break out at any time to break out the battle of Wenqiang and shake the gateway of Runan.

"My lord, now that you are burdened with a heavy responsibility, how can you leave lightly, once you are whipped, you can't reach 1

Seeing that Cao Cao intended to conquer Chen County in person, Yan Xiang immediately raised objections, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Xiang, who was very positive, and Yan Xiang was a little hairy.

"Hehe, this phase is not Lu Bu, if it is an opportunity, then you might as well let them make trouble, I also want to see what tricks they can make, this phase is just right to know who is the same heart as the prime minister1

Cao Cao's words made all the ministers feel a little cold, Cao Cao said what he said, and he would really do it. When there is no excuse, Cao Cao can only get all the people he doesn't like to go to the idle department to get moldy, if these people have a handle in Cao Cao's hands. Then Cao Cao didn't take the opportunity to kill!

"Zhongde, after I leave Qian County, everything will be decided by you."

"The subordinate received the order1

"Zidan, you follow Zhongde's instructions and act1

"No1

"Lord, how are you going to meet the enemy in Chen County?"

Xi Zhicai glanced at the ministers who were only promised, and turned the topic back to business, in Xi Zhicai's opinion, the court was just a toy. How to play this thing depends on the needs, as for whether this court will become a stumbling block for Cao Cao, like tripping Liu Yu and Lu Bu, tripping Cao Cao. That's absolutely impossible, and it's absolutely not allowed, so it should be a little more aggressive, and the cunning and ruthless Cheng Yu is more than competent in this matter. You don't have to worry about it at all.

"Naturally, Pang Fuqing's subordinate will be beaten back 1

"The lord shall not. In this way, Zhicai shook his head with a smile.

Cao Cao paused for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he quickly suppressed this not very good emotion, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Why did Zhicai say this, didn't he think that his true appearance could not be defeated in battle?" ”

"No, the subordinates naturally know that the lord can win the battle, but it is the same as the cost, although Pang Fuqing is a defeated general under the lord. But he is also a strategist who can deal with the lord and frustrate the lord for a time. If the lord is trying his best to deal with it, he will definitely have to pay some price to win, but the question is, isn't it the strategy set by the lord to defend the west and attack the north? ”

"Uh," Cao Cao stroked his beard and muttered.

"My lord, we didn't plan to attack in the west, we have always been on the premise of defense, even if we can deal with it flexibly according to the situation, it is also to reduce the intensity and cost of the war on the western front, and throw the war force to the northern front as much as possible, in order to defeat the enemy first in the north and then in the west. If the lord attacked Pang Yuan on a large scale, then the materials and soldiers of the war, and even the Inhuman troops, would inevitably be tilted towards Chen County, which was not putting the cart before the horse1

Xi Zhicai said a lot in one breath, a little panting, and his face was a little pale.

Cao Cao thought for a while, slapped his thigh hard and said: "Zhicai is right, then this is to go to Chen County, which is to focus on defense, so that Pang Yuan will consume his time and strength under Chen County, and he will not be allowed to take half a step in the east." ”

"It is clear to the Lord that this should be the case.1

"So I ordered Miaocai to be transferred to Wuping, and Li Tong was appointed as the commander of Ruyin, to assist Chen Deng in handling the southern front, so that he could advance to the west appropriately, and order Cao Ren to move to defend Yuanlu and capture Geyang according to the situation."

"The lord Gao sees that taking the initiative to defend on the southern front can more effectively involve Liu Bei, so that he does not dare to let go of the attack, and when Yuan Shao is solved on the northern front, our army will be able to free up his hands to completely solve Liu Bei."

Poyang Lake is calm and calm, and the big ships are sailing slowly, and this huge fleet heading north is Fang Zhi

At the same time, Zhen Xiang's garrison moved south, replacing Zhexin's garrison in Yichun, Nanchang and Jiujiang were handed over to the defense system that completed the training.

Fang Zhi was fishing on the back deck, and on the upper deck, Tian Zhi, Zhu Huan, He Qi, Pan Zhang, and Huang Xu were arguing around the map, and they were discussing the br /

"Obviously, Liu Bei was premeditated, but Liu Bei's purpose was not to defeat Cao Cao, but to bring Cao Cao's main force to the western front, so that Yuan Shao on the northern front could take advantage of it, and attack Chen County, in fact, it was for Jiyin, what Liu Bei really wanted was Jiyin, he wanted to compress Cao Cao from north to south, because Cao Cao's northern territory was new and the foundation was unstable1

Tian Zhi's voice was crisp and very comfortable to listen to, but this crisp and beautiful voice talked about this heavy topic, and it felt like burning the qin and cooking cranes.

Zhu Huan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, even if Liu Bei plans to do so, but in the south of Runan, Liu Bei seems to be a little weak, if Cao Cao guards in the north and exerts his strength here, Liu Bei will be difficult to take care of." ”

"If it is difficult to take care of it, if I am Liu Bei, I will exchange the southern part of Runan for Jiyin and Chen County, and even get the northern part of Runan, as for the south, there is the Tongbai Mountain Range, even if Cao Cao occupies the southern part of Runan, it is difficult to cross the Tongbai Mountain, this part of the territory is originally worthless to Liu Bei."

Tian Zhi's counterattack was very sharp, Zhu Huan blinked his eyes and was speechless, He Qi struggled a little unwillingly: "Even if Liu Bei gives up Runan, he may not be able to take Jiyin and Chen County as he wishes, now Cao Cao personally goes to Chen County, he will definitely be able to stabilize the situation in Chen County, unless Liu Bei can make a breakthrough in some aspect, otherwise Cao Cao's entire western front is quite stable, if Liu Bei is too entangled with the north, he will only lose the south of Runan in vain." ”

"As I just said, the southern part of Runan is worthless, on the contrary, if Cao's army occupies the southern part of Runan, Liu Bei can rely on Runan City, Anyang, and Geyang at the eastern foot of Tongbai Mountain to contain Cao Cao's large number of troops, and can infiltrate behind enemy lines at any time. As for the breakthrough point, I think it will be on Ji Ling's side, the defense of Ji Ling's army is too large, if Liu Bei attacks in person, he can bypass Wenqiang, attack Changling and Ruyang, and cut off Ji Ling's back road, if Cao Cao attacks the southern front, it is better to strengthen the defense on Ji Ling's side1

He Qi blinked his eyes and said nothing, Tian Zhi has been in the staff for so long, and talking about soldiers on paper can indeed kill all sides, Huang Xu grinned, looked at the few boys with a depressed face, and suddenly turned around and said, "Lord, do you think Xiaozhi is right?" ”

"Uh" Fang Zhi tilted his head and looked at the few young people behind him, and said with a smile: "Liu Bei will not bypass Wenqiang, this is the first point; Second, Cao Cao didn't care too much about the southern part of Runan; Finally, pay attention to the movements of the Iron Army. ”

Tian Zhi pouted and tried to refute, but seeing Taishi Zhaorong who shook his head slightly, Tian Zhi held back the words in his throat, thinking carefully that Fang Zhibei would not bypass the defense line of Ji Ling, and why would Cao Cao not move the southern part of Runan? As for the Iron Army, can it capture Lihu at any cost?

Huang Xu glanced at Tian Zhi, smiled and asked again: "Lord, Liu Bei will not bypass Wenqiang I guess it is because Liu Bei doesn't want to have too big losses, let alone rush Cao Cao!" It would be simpler for Cao Cao not to take the southern part of Runan, Xiaozhi could see that the southern part of Runan was a good-looking chicken rib, and Cao Cao would definitely be able to see it clearly. However, how did the lord know that the Iron Army would make a move? ”

"Because the Iron Army loves to fight." Fang Zhi threw out the fishing line in his hand vigorously: "The Iron Army has bought a lot of horses from us, don't underestimate their mobility, although it is difficult to attack Lihu, but what if they go around to attack Juyang?" ”

"That might not be able to beat you down, right?" Tian Zhi shook his head lightly and said.

"I'm afraid it's not to take it down, but to disrupt the entire defense line of Cao's army." Zhu Huan said with some uncertainty.

"That's right, if the Iron Army has such good mobility, it can roam around Juyang, Dongming, and even Dingtao, completely disrupting the defense line of the Jiyin Cao Army, and creating an opportunity for Zhang Fei."

Huang Xu continued to play along Zhu Huan's train of thought, Fang Zhi, this guess should be the most likely, in fact, the Iron Army is not a second pole, naturally it will have its own ideas, and the Iron Army now controls too much territory, and its strength is already a little unable to keep up, and now there is no need to fight for more territory, so that the combat effectiveness of the Iron Army will be released.

Tian Zhi thought for a while, and nodded: "This possibility is very high, the mobility of the Cao army in Jiyin County is particularly insufficient, if the iron army catches this point and uses its mobility to divide these strongholds, it is only a matter of time before the Cao army fails, but Dingtao is a giant city, if the Cao army recklessly shrinks back to Dingtao to hold on, Zhang Fei and the iron army are also right." Therefore, the biggest possibility on the Western Front is a stalemate war with Dingtao, Yongyang, Chenxian, and Wenqiang as the core. In the end, the battle on the northern front is still to be decided, Cao Cao wants to divide the victory with Yuan Shao first, and Liu Bei seems to be happy to see it become 1 unfinished to be continued......
