Six years of Jian'an,

Summer mid-June.

Fu County, will be in the house.

On this day, Cao Cao personally led his own soldiers to arrive.

In the first place, Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan and said in a deep voice: "Miaocai, you have made great contributions to this succession, and you have worked hard!" ”

"These are the things that the last general should do!"

Xiahou Yuan immediately responded with his fists clenched, with a solemn expression.

"But my lord, Liu Zhangchuan Shu has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, don't take it lightly, although our soldiers and horses are all elite, but the number is limited, counting the surrendered Liu Zhangjun is only 10,000!"

"According to my estimate, the reinforcements sent by Liu Zhang will arrive on the south bank of Fu County in a few days." Xiahou Yuan showed a bit of solemnity again, he had already taken Fu County as fast as possible, and the next thing was a tough battle.

"Hehe, Zhang Ren and Wu Yi's group of wastes, are they?" Cao Cao sneered, disapproving, he couldn't beat Chu Feng, and he couldn't beat this group of garbage? After all, there has been almost no war in Yizhou for so many years,

The combat effectiveness of this kind of soldiers and horses is not much different from that of the county soldiers,

"Ten thousand people are enough to deal with this group of waste. What's more, the Qingzhou soldiers are coming quickly, and in half a month at most, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be able to come to the city! Cao Cao said arrogantly.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!"

Xiahou Yuan saw that Cao Cao was extremely confident, and immediately hugged his fists and asked for battle, all the western fronts were counting on him!

"Report ~, the lord of Qiqi, Liu Zhang's reinforcements will cross the north of Mianzhu for thirty miles, and there will be three days at most to reach the south bank of Fushui, and the leading generals are Zhang Ren, Wu Yi, etc."

Hearing this, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Explore again!" ”

As the scouts retreated, Cao Cao looked at everyone: "Let's talk about it, how to break the enemy and take Yizhou?" I'm worried that there will be many dreams at night, and the news has been sent back from the inside line of Yizhou, and someone has already proposed to invite the Chu army to enter Yizhou! ”

Everyone looked at each other, a little at a loss.

When Xun You and Guo Jia, who came with the army, glanced at each other, Guo Jia immediately nodded and said: "Lord, this battle must be resolved quickly, once it falls into a stalemate, it will definitely be unfavorable to the lord." ”

"At present, the Chu army has completed the contraction of the defensive line, and the soldiers and horses can be mobilized at any time, once Liu Zhang invites the Chu army to enter Yizhou, all the efforts of our army will be in vain and even die in Yizhou!"

"How do you break the game quickly?" Cao Cao asked.

"Lord, Liu Zhang is stupid and useless, he doesn't know talents, many of his civil and military affairs are quite complaining, and the lord is an edict to beg for thieves, and Liu Zhang's martial arts have a heart of induction."

"In this battle, the way to win a quick victory lies in the civil and military forces under Liu Zhang, the so-called family of the lord of flowing water, as long as the lord gives up part of his interests to the local family of Yizhou, Yizhou is not difficult to win."

Guo Jia summarized it more generally,

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, this Guo Fengxiao is getting more and more excessive, he likes to talk halfway, and immediately looked at Xun You.

Xun You also smiled gently, and said: "My lord, since ancient times, the monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the monarch. The lord may wish to think about it, what are the choices in front of Yizhou Wenwu at the moment? ”

"Me and Liu Zhang?" Cao Cao frowned and asked.

"Hehe, how can Liu Zhang talk about being on a par with the lord?" Xun You shook his head and chuckled.

"You mean Chu Feng?" Cao Cao frowned.

"Exactly, the reason why the vast majority of Yizhou's civil and military forces have not yet defected to the lord is simply because the current battle situation has not yet been decided, and they are afraid that the Chu army will join in after voting for the lord!"

Xun Yu went straight to the point, word by word.

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded, indeed, the vast majority of people in Yizhou are still waiting, after all, the Chu army may be stronger in comparison, and the benefits of taking refuge in Chu Feng may be greater!

Seeing that Cao Cao understood, Xun You explained: "Lord, the weakness of Yizhou's civil and military forces is here, so naturally it is necessary to stab them in the weakness." First, to suppress people with power, emphasizing that the lord represents the Son of Heaven and the royal family! ”

"Second, let Xizuo spread rumors, saying that the Chu army was defeated in the Central Plains, losing tens of thousands of soldiers, retreating to Nanyang, Hefei and other places, and losing the entire Central Plains, so that these people have no hope."

"Third, let the detailed work emphasize what Chu Feng has done to other families under his rule, and be sure to exaggerate all kinds of evil, so as to make these families cowardly, so as to fall to the side of the lord!"

"With these three articles, the vast majority of Yizhou's civil and military forces will definitely communicate with the lord and fall to the lord's side, so that Yizhou will get half of it!" Xun Yu stroked his beard and said with a little confidence.

"Xun You, Xun You, you are clear about human nature!" Cao Cao smiled, this Xun You is really a great talent, and in just a few words, he hollowed out all the worries of Yizhou Wenwu at the moment.

In this way, these people will inevitably fall to themselves.

"The lord praises falsely, but it's just telling the facts!" Xun Yu is gentle, not fighting or grabbing.

"Whoever comes, immediately draft an edict, an edict to the world, and swear sovereignty. In addition, Pegasus told the city of Chengdu to make a detailed work, and asked them to immediately find a way for me to spread out the things that had just been set! ”

Cao Cao was resolute and immediately waved his sleeves and said.

"No!" Someone on the side should come down.

"My lord, what Gongda said can break the civil and military, and Jia still has a plan to break Chengdu." Guo Jia saw Cao Cao laughing, and immediately said.

"Come quickly!" Cao Cao was eager.

"Lord, there are Mianzhu after Fuxian, and there are two places in Yuxian, according to the scouts, Liu Zhang has already sent people to Mianzhu, of course, it is only a matter of time before these small cities are taken,"

"The only thing to watch out for is Chengdu!"

"Chengdu is the seat of Yizhou Prefecture, and there are several years of surplus grain in the city, and Chengdu has high walls and thick walls, which is comparable to Chang'an Luoyang and other national capitals, and it is even more difficult to storm Chengdu!"

"If Liu Zhang is allowed to hold on, I am afraid it will be difficult to win it for several years." Guo Jia briefly stated the problem.

"What do you think?" Cao Cao asked, since Guo Jia said it, there is obviously a way!

"Slaughter the city!" Guo Jiayu was not shocked, and he said endlessly.

"Slaughtering the city?" Cao Cao frowned slightly: "Slaughtering the city is useful?" ”

"Naturally, that Liu Zhang is cowardly, timid as a mouse, but he is worried about the people's livelihood, the lord is both soft and hard, coupled with the civil and military persuasion in the city, as long as the people are threatened, Liu Zhang will inevitably surrender to the city!"

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth hooked and said with a chuckle.

Xun Yu on the side bowed his head silently, and didn't say much, he naturally knew this kind of strategy, slaughtering the city to deter Liu Zhang, with Liu Zhang's timid personality, maybe he couldn't hold back.

The key to his identity can't be said,

Guo Jia is a free body, a son of a poor family, and his Xun family is a big family, and he is Cao Cao's right-hand man, if his Xun family is so admonished, even if Cao Cao ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, his Xun family has no good fruit,

"Liu Zhang is worried about people's livelihood? Where do you know? Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and asked, this Liu Zhang's political achievements can only be regarded as average, and he is not a person who thinks about the people, how can he care about the life and death of the people.

"Lord, according to the eyeliner report, someone suggested earlier that Liu Zhangjian cleared the wilderness, expelled the people, and destroyed the fields, but Liu Zhangyi rejected with his heart for the people, which is enough to explain everything!"

"What's more, in the early years, Liu Zhang attacked Zhang Lu many times without success, and one of them was worried that the people would be killed and injured too much!" Guo Jia chuckled and explained that he had used all the information.

"I see!"

Cao Cao squinted, he was good at slaughtering the city!

At present, it seems that this trick against Liu Zhang is more effective than a strong siege, and the slaughter of the city can deter various places, so that people dare not rebel!

"Haha, there is Fengxiao Gongda for me, why don't I worry about Yizhou not taking, why worry about the great cause?" Cao Cao shouted heartily, a little excited, Yizhou is about to fall into his hands, and he may be able to reach 300,000 soldiers and horses by then.

Even if Chu Feng is not necessarily his opponent.

"The lord praises falsely, but Yizhou takes it, and the lord will no longer be afraid of Chu Feng!" Guo Jia chuckled, the corners of his mouth rose slightly!

"What do you mean by this?" Xiahou Yuan was a little anxious, he had long wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Chu army to avenge Xiahou Yuan, so he immediately asked.

"General Xiahou can know that the strongest Chu army is not the Central Army, nor the Black Flag Army, but the Yangtze River Boat Division, and it is this Boat Division that allows the Chu Army to have a natural barrier that cannot be banned!"

"The south ships and the north horses, the north wants to go south, the most difficult thing to overcome is the number of boats, but if you can take Yizhou, you can take Jingzhou from the east of the fish belly with infantry, and win with infantry."

"The infantry of our army Qingzhou is famous all over the world, unless Chu Feng calls the central army, he has nothing to fear. And the Jingzhou family has many complaints, if they are provoked, they may be able to take Jingzhou. ”

"Jingzhou is also located in the upper reaches of Yangzhou, you can go downstream, the lord only needs to develop a boat master for three to five years, and it will be easy to sweep Chu Feng." The corners of Guo Jia's mouth were hooked, and he said confidently.

Yizhou is too important to Cao Cao,

This strategic offensive point alone is precious!

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Xiahou Yuan was also excited, this feeling is good, he led the infantry from the Yubei Pass to the east, and his boss led people to advance from Nanyang or Jiujiang in the north, why not destroy Chu Feng?

Cao Cao also smiled from ear to ear, Guo Jia's cake painting is big and round, the key is indeed hopeful, I just hope everything goes well, not to mention whether Jingzhou can be beaten down for the time being,

As long as Yizhou can be defeated, he Cao Cao will not be afraid of the Chu army at all.

"Lord, how do you break the soldiers and horses?" On the side, Xu Huang raised his eyebrows and asked.

As he spoke, Guo Jiaxun glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Hit it halfway!" ”

"Less than half an hour after the lord arrived in Fuxian, the enemy army naturally didn't know, and General Xiahou only had thousands of soldiers and horses, so the enemy naturally thought that General Xiahou would be helpless if he crossed the river a little!"

"Therefore, show the enemy's weakness, probe the enemy when he crosses the river, give Meng an attack, and the enemy army will definitely be defeated!" Guo Jia answered.

"The lord, or the several generals who can be killed in the secret pass, let them attack behind their backs, and combine the inside and the outside, and defeat this army of soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, so as to approach Mianzhu and even Ruoxian!"

Xun You added.

They know that money can make ghosts grind, especially after Cao Jun oppresses people with power, there are naturally a lot of people who vote for Cao Jun, and with a little means, these tens of thousands of people are not a problem!

"Just according to what the two military advisors said!" Cao Cao Lang smiled.

Immediately, Cao Cao sent people to tell the world, while letting the fine work spread rumors, and on the other hand, he colluded with those generals, and in the entire Yizhou, such a big cake obviously wanted to be offered to the people who shared more of his cake first.

————

In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the early morning, after a group of people decided, the whole army would cross the river ten miles away from Fuxian, Zhang Ren immediately asked people to collect small boats, and then connected them into a pontoon bridge, and the whole army also crossed the river quickly.

How to say that there are 40,000 people, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses in Xiahou Yuan's headquarters, a gap of nearly ten times, which can be completely crushed, and the situation is urgent, they need to kill Xiahou Yuan as soon as possible!

At this moment, in the middle of the night,

On the bank of Fushui, Zhang Ren stood with his sword, constantly urging the soldiers and horses to cross the river, but looking at the night, he was inexplicably a little moved in his heart, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen.

But fortunately, there are more and more soldiers and horses gathered on the shore, at least three or four thousand people, even if the Cao army kills at this time, they can still have the strength to fight!

Thinking about this, he was somewhat relieved.

But at this moment, in the distance on the riverbank, there was a sudden sound, and then countless torches lit up, as if, at this time, the Cao army in ambush, for a while, the Cao army rushed here to kill.

Among them, Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan each led a troop and horse.

Seeing this, Zhang Ren frowned, and immediately wanted to stabilize the morale of the army and let people fight bloodily, but Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan were both fierce generals, and the soldiers and horses under his command were the elite of the hundred battles in Qingzhou, which was by no means comparable to Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses.

Almost in a single face, Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses were crushed, more and more people died tragically, the smell of blood rose to the sky, accompanied by screams, and stumps and broken arms, so that countless people fled in the wilderness.

No matter how Zhang Ren shouted, those people couldn't help but be afraid, after all, Liu Zhangjun was a famous war scumbag, Zhang Lu couldn't beat it, and Liu Zhangjun in later generations couldn't even beat Liu Bei in local battles.

Liu Bei almost never won before entering Yizhou, but when he entered Yizhou, he won more with less, and Liu Zhang hugged his head and ran away, which shows how rubbish Liu Zhangjun's combat effectiveness is.

It is even said that when Kaecheng surrendered, there were still 30,000 Jingjia in Chengdu, and Liu Bei outside the city did not necessarily have 30,000.

If he has not experienced the baptism of war, how can he be the opponent of these veterans of a hundred battles, it is completely a dimensionality reduction attack, or a half-crossing attack, Liu Zhangjun was almost defeated in one battle, and he has no ability to resist at all.

"Don't run, fight to the death!"

Zhang Ren's voice was hoarse, but no matter how he shouted, he couldn't stop these soulless soldiers.

In the critical scramble, there are countless people who have fallen into the water!

"Hehe, this thief will kill me!" Xiahou Yuan rode his horse and saw that Zhang Ren was still desperately commanding the army, and instantly grinned with an excited expression, he hadn't killed an enemy general for a long time.

"Thief, take your life!"

As he spoke, Xiahou Yuan shot and killed.

Seeing this, Zhang Ren didn't have the time to continue commanding, so he immediately roared, turned his horse and turned to fight, he was the first general in Sichuan and Shu, and he was not afraid at all.

However, when they were fighting, Xu Huang had already driven all the Liu Zhangjun who had crossed the river into the river, and then crossed the river to pursue, and it was Wu Yi who surrendered, and he immediately led his troops to attack the other two generals.

For a time, the entire Liu Zhangjun was in a mess,

The soldiers and brave could not distinguish whether they were friends or foes, and they were completely defeated.

Xu Huang took the lead, killed one of the generals, and then began to be captured, as for Xiahou Yuan, he and Zhang Ren fought for a long time, and finally Cao Cao sent people to capture Zhang Ren,

Because Zhang Ren was superb in martial arts, Cao Cao couldn't bear to kill him, so he was temporarily detained.

In the first battle, as expected, Cao Jun won, a big victory!
