Chapter 23: The Great War of the Three Kingdoms
Of course, Meng Shu would not easily believe what Zhang Lang said, and immediately arranged troops after returning to southern Xinjiang, ready to welcome the arrival of Zhang Lang's army at any time. In order to prevent accidents, Meng Yu let his wife, Mrs. Zhurong, take over part of the military power.
Zhang Lang was even more excited after getting this news, in fact, Zhang Lang did not choose the road of re-centering in this expedition, and went to Xiliang and Jingzhou, one is to trust Zhou Yu, Huang Zhong and others, and there is a small reason for choosing this road, that is, to go to see this legendary beauty - Mrs. Zhurong in person.
Guo Jia thought for a moment before stepping forward and said, "Then the subordinates will arrange it." ”
"Don't worry, it's not too late to wait for Na Meng to prepare for two days before starting." Zhang Lang's eyes radiated a strange light, which made people unable to see and understand.
At the same time, Cao Ying has also led the army to prepare to go south, Zhang Lang has already explained that people go to sea before leaving Zhou Shan to cooperate with Gao Shun Qiqi Cao Ying, has been going for more than a month, I believe that Zhou Shan has received Zhang Lang's instructions.
Jibei, Caoying.
"Lord, you better rest first." Jia Xu said with concern.
"No, the war is tight, and there can be no relaxation at this moment. Wenhe, how do you say we break the defense of Gaoshun through the Yellow River? Cao Ying endured the old headache.
Jia Xu responded with a fist: "Gao Shun's defense seems to be strong, but it lacks a fatal flaw. ”
Cao Ying immediately felt a little more energetic, with a little surprise: "Oh, Wenhe might as well say it directly." ”
"The soldiers and horses of Gao Shun's headquarters are soldiers who have accompanied him in the southern and northern wars, and they are all fearless of death. If we want to attack strongly, I am afraid it will be detrimental to our army. However, Zhang Lang made a very serious mistake, igniting the entire line of the Yellow River, and most of the troops were stationed in Guanzhong, although there were also troops along the Yellow River for defense, but they were all new soldiers and had no combat experience. This leaves us with the key to open the door to the south. Jia Xu's analysis is incisive.
Cao Ying immediately fell into deep thought again, and only replied after a while: "Could it be that Wenhe means to let me give up the strong attack from Jibei and attack its weak point accurately?" ”
Jia Xu smiled slightly: "Hehe...... That's exactly what it means, but not all. We still have to exert pressure on Jibei and target our heavy forces at Pingqiu, Yanjin and other places where its defense is weak. ”
Cao Ying suddenly said: "I see, leave a small number of troops in Jibei, deal with Gao Shun, and at the same time order the army to advance into the Pingqiu area and break through." Even if Gao Shun wanted to help, it was too late. ”
"That's exactly what it means." Jia Xu replied with satisfaction.
"Haha...... Wenhe, what a clever plan. I can order Zhang Tai and Zhong Shen to lead the troops to Pingqiu. Cao Ying said excitedly.
The next day, Zhang Tai and Zhong Shen led the army to Pingqiu, while Cao Ying personally stayed in Yangping and pretended to deal with Gao Shun, who was facing each other across the bank.
At this time, in Gao Shun's camp, Zhang Liao was discussing how to retreat from Cao.
"In my opinion, it is better for us to break through at Baima, rush across the Yellow River, and after attacking Cao, distract its attention and relieve the pressure of our army in Jibei. As soon as Zhou Shan's reply arrived, our army could join forces with three soldiers and horses to break through the Yellow River and go straight to Jizhou. What does General Gao think? Zhang Liao said it so simply, in fact, this plan was perfected after a long period of thinking and planning. Of course, he didn't take into account that Cao Ying would sing an empty city plan in Yangping, but the heavy troops had already arrived in the Pingqiu area.
Gao Shun thought for a moment before replying: "Although such a risk is great, it can alleviate many casualties for us. Presumably, Cao Ying would never have thought that under such circumstances, we would dare to transfer troops to attack his rear. ”
Zhang Liao continued: "Moreover, we will first send troops to cross the Yellow River, even if they are discovered by Cao Ying, it will be fine, after the army crosses the Yellow River, hide somewhere, and then send a small force to deal with Cao Ying." As soon as Zhou Shan's reply arrived, our army immediately led the army to rush across the Yellow River, and the troops who crossed the Yellow River first responded. It also saved us a lot of effort at that time. ”
"Zhang Liao~!"
"The end will be in ~!" Two bell-like voices rang out in the tent.
"The task of breaking through at the White Horse is entrusted to you, can you be confident?" Of course, Gao Shun knew that this plan was made by Zhang Liao, and of course he knew it best. It couldn't have been better to send him there.
How could Zhang Liao not know what he meant, and said gratefully: "Zhang Liao will not disappoint the general's high hopes when he receives the order." ”
When he said, Zhang Liao led half of Jibei's troops to Baima, and at this time, the other party felt strange, Cao Ying had not attacked Jibei for a day, Gao Shun was not stupid, and immediately thought of what kind of strategy Cao Ying would use. Although he couldn't guess what Cao Ying meant, in order to avoid accidents, Gao Shun ordered the whole army to pay attention to defense. There must be no slackness.
After three tense days, Cao Ying received news from the two generals Zhang Tai and Zhong Shen, saying that a small force had crossed the Yellow River, entangled with its men, and did not love war. At this time, Gao Shun also got the news of Zhang Liao and successfully crossed the Yellow River, but found that a large number of Cao troops were moving towards the Pingqiu area. I am afraid that he will have bad intentions, and he is following him, constantly harassing him.
And after Cao Ying got the news that Zhang Tai and other troops were attacked, he was slightly surprised and worried. Could it be that Gao Shun knew that I had sent a large army to Pingqiu, and had already sent troops to the rescue? Cao Ying ruled out the possible surnames he analyzed again and again. Although Zhang Tai repeatedly stated that it was only a small force, Cao Ying did not see it that way. It is not easy to break through the encirclement to Deji Prefecture.
Jia Xu was also a little surprised, asking himself that this move was already quite a bold decision, if the other party could still see through it, the opponent was really terrible.
Cao Ying immediately ordered people to go to Pingqiu to chase after the Zhangtai troops, and ordered them not to cross the Yellow River first, and to find out the origin and men of this small force, if it is abnormal. This army was wiped out first, even if it was not more than the Yellow River.
After all, the main force of Zhang Lang's army was still dragged by Liu Bei, Cao Ying thought that Zhang Lang was beyond the reach of the whip at this time, and there were two possible surnames of that unit, one was that it was indeed an insignificant small force, however, Cao Ying was more inclined to the latter may have a larger surname, and the other was that that the army was Gao Shun's regular army.
Jia Xu was still confident at the moment, Cao Ying was only anxious, and only then did he notice Jia Xu, who had not spoken: "Wenhe, where do you think the small force Zhang Tai said is?" ”
Jia Xu smiled slightly and walked to the center of the main hall: "Presumably, the main attack has already analyzed this in detail, and so is Wen He." Let's see if it is compatible with the lord? ”
Cao Ying waved his hand and said, "Wen He said bluntly." ”
"My subordinates think that there are three possible surnames for the emergence of such a force." When he said this, Cao Ying replied in surprise: "Three!? ”
