Chapter 1168: Beacon Division
It has been two days since Zhang Fan got the news, the news made him bittersweet, happy that Cao Cao was defeated, the land of Yanzhou and Qingzhou was almost in his hands, and the best thing was Cao Cao's decisive choice at the moment of crisis, this is a wonderful move, once Cao Cao and Yuan Yin united, the threat to Zhang Fan can be said to be not decreasing but increasing!
Xun Yu's surrender was an accident for Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan did not come back to his senses for a long time, Xun Yu, the strongest logistics, good at royal soldiers, this person is not weaker than any top strategist, and the characteristics are distinct, if he is in charge of the rear, Zhang Fan will not have the slightest concern!
"Can you trust Xun Yu?"
This is a problem, a very serious one!
Xun Yu's character Zhang Fan has some understanding, this person is loyal to the Han, if it is absolutely possible to sincerely take refuge, but when Cao Cao was defeated, Zhang Fan was a little uneasy, could this be a chess piece arranged by Cao Cao?
"Do you use Xun Yu as a chess piece? If that's the case, I'm really amazed at Cao Cao! ”
In the end, Zhang Fan still decided to trust Xun Yu, but for the time being, he still had to keep a hand, and did not give real power, but asked people to take Xun Yu back to Bohai, let him meet Liu Wei, stay in Jizhou for a while, and observe first.
The situation in Jizhou is extremely attractive to most people, even if Xun Yu originally had different intentions, it will gradually be erased, and at that time, Zhang Fan can use it with confidence and no longer worry.
This is only one aspect, Zhang Fan knows that his top priority now is to deal with the battle situation of Si Li, Ma Chao gradually stabilized under Zhuge Liang's appeasement, to be honest, Zhang Fan can wait a little longer, after all, the people sent to Xiliang are creating a large number of chaos, Ma Chao's state of mind will inevitably be shaken, and it will be the real fighter at that time, but now Zhang Fan can't wait any longer, he must solve the battle before Cao Cao arrives, otherwise everything will be over!
Attack? This is what Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao can't ask for, after all, Ma Chao can't stay for a long time, after all, he has to rush back to Xiliang, and the coalition forces are already ready for a battle and are waiting for Zhang Fan at any time.
"Zhuge Liang's methods are unpredictable, and direct raids are easy to target, please teach me!"
Zhang Fan is always good at asking for talents, and directly asks Pang Tong Jia for advice, which is the most effective way.
Jia Xu groaned slightly, the current situation was very tangled, and after a while, he said: "Only the cauldron is broken!" ”
"Shipwreck?" Zhang Fan was slightly stunned.
Jia Xu smiled: "It's very simple! Zhuge Liang must have laid out all kinds of means outside the Jiguan, although it is not difficult for us to break it, but the speed will slow down, and it is easy to give the coalition army a chance to take advantage of, and Cao Cao may enter Yanzhou at any time, in this case, the only way to take a dangerous move is to let Zhou Yu send troops! ”
"Let Zhou Yu send troops?"
Zhang Fan's eyes lit up, and he was amazed, Yanzhou was originally Cao Cao's territory, and the coalition army was an ally, Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao would definitely not fortify Yanzhou, and Zhou Yu shocked the world in a battle, directly killed Yu Ban, and captured Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is adjacent to Si Li, if it is allowed to enter the army directly from Yanzhou, and give the coalition army a head-on attack from the side, Zhang Fan will have a great advantage on the frontal battlefield!
What if Cao Cao didn't come to Sili, but chose to recapture the Yanzhou base area?
This is a problem, but it is not a problem, although Yu Ban died in battle, but Yanzhou is a huge area, there will be more or less some defenders in the city, and it will take a lot of energy to take them all with Zhou Yu's strength, Zhang Fan is most lacking now is time, that is to say, it is actually not feasible to occupy Yanzhou all, in this case, why give up directly, send troops to the division, and volley horizontally?
If Cao Cao comes to Si Li, it is likely that the battle has ended at that time, the coalition army has suffered a lot of losses, and the combat strength is difficult to survive, and if Cao Cao returns directly to Yanzhou, then it will be up to him to go, anyway, if the coalition army is defeated, Si Li will fall directly into the hands of Zhang Fan, and when the time comes, Jizhou, Qingzhou will be Cao Cao on three sides, how can Cao Cao defend under the onslaught, it is tantamount to digging his own grave!
Zhang Fan didn't think that Cao Cao's wisdom would choose to return to Yanzhou, otherwise Cao Cao would not be able to do the risky plan of fighting on both sides, so although Yanzhou is a piece of fat, it must be abandoned now, and the real hero knows how to weigh the pros and cons and choose the best.
Pang Tong has no objection to this, Zhou Yu and Cao Bao now have an army of nearly 300,000 people, and they have several fierce generals, which can definitely be called a powerful combat force, with their help, Zhuge Liang will be defeated even if he is clever, this is a crushing in strength.
"I also know some formations, especially the formations arranged by Zhuge Liang, I have already experienced, during this period, the lord can send a team of people to escort me out of the city, I will break the surrounding Zhuge Liang's arrangements one by one, creating the illusion that we are going to attack strongly, so that they ignore the threat in the direction of Yanzhou and increase the chance of success!" Pang Tong said.
Zhang Fan naturally agreed, nodded again and again, and the task of escorting Pang Tong was naturally handed over to Zhao Yun and Baima Yicong, with these people guarding them, it was expected that it should be foolproof.
At the same time, Zhang Fan sent a letter to Zhou Yu, asking him to leave Yanzhou affairs aside for the time being, gather a large army to come to Sili to help in the war, and wait until he has the time and energy to hold everything in his hands after overcoming the difficulties in front of him.
How can ordinary people give up this big fat piece of Yanzhou, but there are priorities, I believe that with Zhou Yu's wisdom, it should be clear that the big war is coming!
Now both sides are silent, Zhang Fan did not go out of the city in a big way, the coalition army is stepping up training, want to fight, and will not fight for the time being, but the appearance of Pang Tong and Bai Ma Yicong broke the peace, Zhuge Liang did lay many formations and means outside the city, but Pang Tong was very familiar with this, and he couldn't trap him at all, and was demolished one by one, opening the road to the outside world.
Ma Chao didn't want to block it, but Bai Ma Yi has never come and gone like the wind, it is difficult to catch up, and this ace cavalry is personally commanded by Zhao Yun, and Pang Tong is on the side, even if he catches up, he may not have been beaten, and it is impossible to stay, Ma Chao tried several times, after all, there was no way, and in the end he had no choice but to give up, watching, and at the same time be ready to fight at any time.
Xu Chu's injuries have recovered, plus Ma Chao has a total of two Tianwu Realm generals, half less than Zhang Fan's side, but at this critical juncture, there has also been a turnaround, Pang De was injured, shameful and brave, and even broke through to the Tianwu Realm, although the martial soul is relatively weak in a hurry, just a ninth-order beast, but it is enough to bypass him to become a hidden combat force, and it can play a huge role at critical moments, which is also one of the capitals of Ma Chao who dares to fight.
Ma Chao fought, and had to fight, Xiliang's situation was about to jump out of his control, the opposition forces were getting bigger and bigger, he had to fight quickly, and I heard that Yuan Yin had relented and promised to assist, I believe that it would not be long before Cao Cao and Yuan Yin would come to Sili to help fight, so that both high-end combat power and troops have an advantage, and the two sides are evenly matched, enough to fight!
In this battle, the world will belong!
