Chapter 39 Global Positioning
Xiahou Wei knew that Sima Yi was cunning, and saw that he threw away the weapon in his hand, but this did not make him have the urge to kill Sima Yi. Instead, he clenched the spear in his hand, and when he rushed closer, he saw that Sima Yi had closed his eyes.
Xiahou Wei was shocked and said in his heart: "Did he give up?" But after thinking about it, Sima Yi is a scheming person, and before leaving, the lord specially explained that this person is cunning and abnormal, don't believe what he says. Otherwise, it will lead to a big mistake and endless troubles.
Thinking of Cao Ying's words, Xiahou Wei still has self-knowledge, knowing that he is by no means Sima Yi's opponent in terms of power and strategy, and now although he has abandoned his weapons and surrendered, everyone knows that Sima Yi's most powerful thing is that head.
Xiahou Wei pondered for a moment, and the spear stopped at Sima Yi's throat, the wall of the spear was already very close to Sima Yi's throat, as if the silver spear head had touched Sima Yi's skin, making him slightly shocked.
Considering the hidden dangers that he might have if he was left, Xiahou Wei looked at the sun that was about to set, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the two people in the field were very dazzling.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiahou Wei finally made a decision, and stabbed out the spear in his hand hard, although it was not completely unexpected by Sima Yi, but in his opinion, these two young generals should leave themselves to ask for credit in front of Cao Ying.
The spear pierced Sima Yi's throat, and a black liquid drew a beautiful parabola under the afterglow. The moment Xiahou Wei's spear was drawn, Sima Yi's throat had already pierced a big hole, and blood sprayed a bloody red from the hole vigorously.
From Xiahou Ba's point of view, he only saw a liquid spurting out of Sima Yi's throat, because it was already dusk, so he couldn't tell that it was blood, but when Xiahou Wei's spear was drawn, even a fool probably knew what it was.
If Sima Yi could still breathe and speak, it is estimated that he would be surprised and said, "How is it possible?" How could Xiahou Yuan's son have such a scheming? That's not Xiahou Yuan's son, right? It's a pity that Sima Yi still returned to the Yellow River after all. Xiahou Yuan's son may not have thought of it so much, but what Sima Yi didn't consider was that Cao Ying's scruples about him had exceeded his imagination.
A generation of annihilation has been wiped out so far!
The large army of Cao Ying's soldiers and horses in Guanzhong has been evacuated, and the few remaining are just stubbornly resisting, but after all, the disparity is too great, how can Zhou Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops be able to withstand the remnants of Cao Ying's troops? At present, Zhou Yu's troops have been stationed in Hongnong to confront the defending general Zhang Qiye at Hangu Pass.
Huang Xu's troops have also arrived in Jingzhou, and according to Zhang Lang's instructions, Huang Xu led 50,000 troops to march in a high-profile manner, the purpose of which is to not let Liu Bei discover as soon as possible, in fact, how could Zhang Lang underestimate Zhuge Liang's strength, presumably he must be able to see through his plan. At present, Huang Xu's troops are ambushing outside Nanyang City, just waiting for Huang Zhong to arrive, immediately appear and take Nanyang.
Zhang Lang's troops were lazy all the way, and Zhao Yun, who was one step ahead, had reached the territory of Wuxi at this time, and Zhang Lang led the troops to swagger at Xiangtan.
Zhou Yu in the tent.
Pang Tong was negotiating with him on how to take Hangu Pass, and at this time, Cao Ying's troops had reached Chang'an, and they were reorganizing their armaments, wanting to protect Chang'an at all costs. In fact, after Zhou Yu captured Luoyang, there were as many as 100,000 conscripts left behind, and a secret team was also drawn out, with five people. At this time, Zhou Yu had less than 100,000 troops in his hands who could fight.
Rao is Cao Ying has withdrawn most of his troops from Guanzhong, but Hangu Pass is a natural danger in Guanzhong, and with the strength in hand, it is only thankless.
The situation was already very clear, Zhang Lang broke the principle of peaceful coexistence with Liu Bei, and at this time not only posed a threat to Liu Bei, but according to Zhang Lang's battle plan. How could Zhuge Liang not see it? This is clearly an attempt to invade Bashu by seizing the pass.
In fact, the real purpose was to attack Liu Bei. Today, Liu Bei is newly established in Shu, and his foothold is not stable. But it is the best time, if you wait until Liu Bei is full-fledged, I am afraid that his threat to Zhang Lang is not just afraid of Liu Bei's sneak attack.
Three days later, Huang Zhong arrived outside Nanyang City and immediately discussed the siege strategy with Huang Xu.
In Hebei, the secret troops dispatched by Zhou Yu have also reached their destination, Shouyang Mountain.
Seeing that the time came, Zhou Yu did not hesitate and immediately ordered a large army to attack Hangu Pass, while the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Ling Tong of Hebei immediately launched an attack on Tongguan.
Cao Ying couldn't have imagined that Zhou Yu would act so boldly, Hebei was the place where Cao Ying's heavy troops gathered. When the two armies are at war. Dare to order a large army to cross the river to attack. It really made Cao Ying sweat.
In the main hall of Chang'an City, Jia Xujin said: "Lord, with all due respect. It was only a matter of time before Guanzhong was taken away. ”
Cao Ying was furious: "Wenhe, the army has not yet fought, why do you grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?" ”
In fact, what Jia Xu said is also the truth, now that Cao Ying has made a mistake and transferred troops from Guanzhong, let Zhang Lang pick up a ready-made bargain, what can he do with his troops to defend Chang'an? Could it be that Zhang Lang will return it to Guanzhong?
Jia Xu explained: "The lord is angry. Wait until I'm done. ”
Cao Ying gasped, his eyes wide as a cow. Looking at Jia Xu, he was quite blowing his beard and staring.
Jia Xu continued: "Now that the situation is very obvious, Zhang Lang has mobilized the whole country to march to Shuzhong. And it's better for our army to defend Chang'an here......"
Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Cao Ying had already guessed one or two. After waving his hand and shouting back the rest of the people. Only then did he say with interest: "Sir, you mean, we are attacked by the followers?" ”
"Exactly, there is an emptiness behind Zhang Lang today, and instead of staying here, we should recapture Qingzhou and other places, and deploy troops along the Yellow River to prevent cockroaches from invading Hebei. So what if Zhang Lang gets Guanzhong? As long as we open the gap to the south from behind, and take advantage of Zhang Lang's troops to advance westward, as long as we enter Jiangdong, then Zhang Lang's rear soldiers are outnumbered, and they will not be captured? ”
A trace of cold sweat oozed from Cao Ying's forehead, no wonder Jia Xu didn't open his mouth all the way, daring to love didn't want to help Guanzhong at all, but set his sights on the land of Jiangdong behind Zhang Lang.
At this time, Cao Ying regained his previous calm and wise side, and his mind was running rapidly. As long as Zhang Lang can't cross Hebei, and then open the gap on the way south, Xu, Yang and other prefectures will be rich places. Although Guanzhong is important, compared to Zhang Lang's base camp that has been operated for decades, Cao Ying still knows how to make trade-offs.
After a detailed discussion, Cao Ying finally decided to order Zhong Shen and Zhang Taikong to return to Bingzhou, and gather all the troops of Bingzhou and Youzhou to open the gap in the south to Jibei.
At this time, it can be called a great chaos in the world, and the big forces have their own merits. are all playing with their own wishful thinking, but who will be the final loser in this battle? And who will be the winner? In the current situation, I am afraid that no one knows.
