To become a high-ranking official in the world, you must have practiced your voice.

Although Yang Fu was old, his voice was strong and powerful, and he was unwilling to leave the hall for a long time.

And after listening to Yang Fu's advice, everyone in the hall had a look of curiosity on their faces.

When Cao Cao led the army to attack Hanzhong, although there was also a division of troops, in order not to distract the troops too much, the main force of the Wei army was still firmly in his hands.

But now from Yang Fu's words, it can be seen that the three routes of division of troops that Yang Fu said have their own strategic goals, which shows that in addition to the main road army led by Cao Zhenqin, the Wei army of the other two roads cannot be less.

This is undoubtedly a breakthrough in the Wei army's long-term strategy of employing troops, and it is undoubtedly a risk in terms of tactics.

The word "risky" is often linked to attractive benefits, so at this moment, everyone in the hall became more and more curious about Yang Fu's suggestions.

The soldiers are divided into three routes, how they should be divided, and what kind of strategic goals each road has, which are the key to Yang Fu's strategy.

And if these keys can't satisfy everyone in the palace, then Yang Fu's three-way move will inevitably fail to pass this council.

Cao Zhen has been in the top position for a long time, and he has already practiced the ability to observe words and colors.

From the expressions of the Wei ministers in the hall, Cao Zhen guessed what they were thinking.

So Cao Zhen motioned to Yang Fu with his eyes to continue.

Yang Fu, who was encouraged by Cao Zhen's eyes, raised his head to instruct Cao Zhen, and then pointed to a map hanging in the main hall, and asked Cao Zhen:

"Hanzhong Yutu, can the minister use it?"

For Yang Fu's request, Cao Zhen will certainly not refuse.

He smiled and nodded to Yang Fu.

After getting Cao Zhen's permission, Yang Fu took three steps and made two steps to the top of the map, and then used his finger as a sword to slide up on the map in Hanzhong.

The first landing point of Yang Fu's finger was Wudu County, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

During the Battle of Hanzhong that year, the Wei general Cao Xiu led his army to defeat the enemy's Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's troops, resulting in the enemy's attempt to control the two counties of Wudu failed.

Later, although our army was defeated in Hanzhong and had to withdraw from Hanzhong, Emperor Wu had the foresight to move most of the people in Wudu County to Guanzhong in advance.

For this reason, after the thief army occupied Hanzhong, it did not lead the army into Wudu County, and now Wudu County is only nominally owned by the thief army.

Wudu County is connected with Liangzhou, and it is flanked by Hanzhong, which has the advantage of condescending to Hanzhong.

If our army can capture Wudu, it will not only directly attack the hinterland of the center of Han, but also make the thief army in Hanzhong fearful.

The most important thing is that once Wudu County is taken by our army, then the Yinping land of Hanzhong will be directly exposed to the front of our army. ”

When he said this, Yang Fu tapped his finger heavily on a place under the map of Hanzhong, and that place was marked with the word Yinping.

Yang Fu's words and actions instantly made everyone in the hall breathe faster.

Smuggling Yinping is Deng Ai's feat, which many people in later generations know, but this does not mean the importance of Yinping, only Deng Ai found it in history.

As mentioned above, the Hanzhong defense line set up by Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng sent troops to focus on guarding against Yinping.

As far as the Wei army is concerned, as early as when Cao Cao was alive, as a master of the art of war, he had already realized the importance of Yin Ping to Hanzhong.

Cao Cao has always been angry about the defeat of Hanzhong at the hands of Liu Bei when he was alive, and he has also revealed his intention to retake Hanzhong in front of his henchmen and important ministers many times.

In Cao Cao's original vision, Yinping was the strategic pass he must win when he attacked Hanzhong.

Cao Cao never thought of concealing this idea, so many of Cao Wei's ministers, under Cao Cao's influence, knew that Yinping was a very important place for soldiers to fight.

It was precisely because of this that when Yang Fu proposed that Wei Jun had a chance to take Yinping, everyone's breathing couldn't help but become short.

It was Cao Cao's last wish to capture Yinping and recover Hanzhong.

If they can fulfill this last wish under the leadership of Cao Zhen, then this will bring unimaginable benefits to anyone here, not to mention that Yin Ping is still a necessary means to seize Hanzhong.

Yang Fu successfully used his words to mobilize the fighting spirit of everyone in the hall.

After doing this, Yang Fu went on to say the specific steps of how he would complete this step.

"If our army wants to quickly take Wudu County and attack Yinping, we must select a general with great prestige in Qiang.

This person recommended the history of Yongzhou Thorn. ”

Seeing that Yang Fu directly said that Guo Huai would be the main general of the attack on Wudu County, although everyone in the palace was slightly surprised, they were not too surprised.

Yang Fu's reason is very tenable, and it is reasonable to let Yizhou Assassin Shi serve as the chief general of another army.

After recommending Guo Huai, Yang Fu continued: "General Guo Huai can lead 20,000 troops and horses from his headquarters, start from Didao in Liangzhou to capture Xiazhong, and then continue to go north to capture Yuzhong." ”

"The open terrain of the first place is conducive to the gathering of large armies, this can protect our army from the enemy's sneak attack, and the second is that the middle of the city is located in the upper reaches of Yinping, and when the time is ripe, the Yongzhou Thorn Shi can lead the army south to take advantage of the situation to seize Yinping."

When Yang Fu said the strategy in his heart, his fingers did not stop.

There is a map of the evidence, and Yang Fu is very specific, so when he finished talking about the arrangements of the Western Route Army, everyone in the hall nodded involuntarily.

Wei Chen in the main hall is not all familiar with military strategy, but no matter how he does not know military strategy, Yang Fu has said it so clearly, everyone can naturally easily distinguish the good and bad of Yang Fu's strategy.

And Guo Huai couldn't help but be overjoyed after seeing this scene.

Cao Zhen intended to reuse him, and now the other ministers did not have much objection to him becoming the commander of the Western Route Army under Yang Fu's advice, which completely let go of the heart hanging in his heart.

Yang Fu saw that most of the people in the hall agreed with his arrangements for the Western Route Army, so he turned to talk about his arrangements for the Middle Route Army.

"Hanzhong is backed by Yizhou, so it can naturally get a steady stream of troops, grain and grass assistance from Yizhou.

If you want to swallow Miyang, you must first cut off Yizhou's support for Hanzhong.

Although most of the main forces of the thief army in Yizhou are in Nanzhong, everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, just in case, the goal of the middle route army is to capture Baishui. ”

Yang Fu slammed the white water on the map a few times.

Under the tapping of Yang Fu's fingers, the hanging map was like a pool of rippling clear water, and this ripple successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Baishui is a small county town located below Yinping, and it is economically useless to occupy Baishui.

But from a strategic point of view, the capture of Whitewater is an imperative.

Because Baishui is located right in the middle of Yinping and Sword Pavilion, this makes Baishui have extraordinary strategic significance in Hanzhong.

As long as the Wei army can successfully occupy Baishui, then even if Mi Yang wants to send troops to support after getting the news that Yinping has been attacked, then his soldiers and horses will not be able to cross Baishui.

Baishui lives between the mountains, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the strength of the Wei army is far above the Liangzhou army, in this case, no matter how powerful Mi Yang is, he can't easily lead the army through Baishui.

Of course, if Bai Shui is of strategic significance, it is not enough for the Wei army to send a large army to occupy it, and Bai Shui's more important significance is that he can threaten the flank of the Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Pavilion is the most important pass between Yizhou and Hanzhong, and in the past, Yizhou wanted to support Hanzhong, mostly through the Sword Pavilion.

Just like what Yang Fu said, assuming that Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong in time and led his army to support Hanzhong in a very short time, then his support would definitely take the road from Sword Pavilion to Yangping Pass.

But once Zhuge Liang did that, then the Han army, which was already weaker than the Wei army, was very likely to be attacked by the Wei army from the rear.

This is a taboo for soldiers.

With this concern, you can use your strong strength to deter Yizhou, so that they dare not easily lead the army to support Hanzhong, so as to completely bring Hanzhong into a dead end to the greatest extent.

This is the real reason why Yang Fu suggested that the Wei army should divide a middle route army to attack Baishui.

"The chief general of the Middle Route Army, Fu, suggested that there could be a hussar general and lead an army of 30,000."

Compared with the Western Route Army's recommendation of Guo Huai as the chief general, Yang Fu recommended Cao Hong as the chief general of the Middle Route Army, which made everyone in the palace have no objections.

Although Cao Hong was disliked by Cao Pi, his merits and qualifications were there, and no one could despise him.

When Yang Fu said this sentence, it meant that he had finished explaining the strategy that the Central Route Army was responsible for.

Then everyone couldn't help but admire in their hearts.

In the past, Yang Fu did not show his military strategy to everyone, but today Yang Fu has opened everyone's eyes.

It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that most of the strategies Yang Fu said today were not come up by himself.

Since Cao Zhen had already decided to go south nearly half a year ago, how could he only plan to discuss the strategy of the southern expedition today?

In fact, as early as the moment when Cao Zhen returned to Chencang five months ago, Cao Zhen had already gathered many henchmen to discuss the strategy of the southern expedition in the coming day.

And the progress of this matter has been greatly increased after Cao Hong and Liu Ye joined Cao Zhen's group.

Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, and Liu Ye were all world-class people who knew military strategy, and with the combined efforts of the three of them, five months was enough time for them to come up with a specific and effective strategy for the southern expedition.

The reason why Cao Zhen wanted to bring the strategy of the southern expedition that had been discussed a long time ago to the Great Council for discussion today.

This is because the Battle of the Southern Expedition was a very extensive battle, and this battle had to be supported by people from all walks of life in order for Cao Zhen to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Wei army.

Those who are the same up and down are strong, and those who want the same up and down win, what Cao Zhen wants to do today is such a thing.

After continuously explaining the strategies of the Western Route Army and the Central Route Army, Yang Fu finally looked at Cao Zhen, who was sitting at the top.

After bowing to Cao Zhen, Yang Fu continued to speak: "Although the Western Route Army and the Middle Route Army have their own strategies, they are only other armies after all, and the main force of our army's southern expedition lies in the Eastern Route Army. ”

"For the Eastern Route Army, Fu suggested that the general could march into Hanzhong from Xiegu and Luogu respectively.

Xiegu and Luogu are the main roads between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, which are conducive to the passage of the army, and the passage from these two roads can ensure that the general can smoothly enter the territory of Hanzhong County. ”

"After the general's army enters Hanzhong County, you can quickly join forces in a convenient place, and then divide your troops to capture the cities of Hanzhong."

"After the Battle of Hanzhong, the strength of the Han Dynasty has not been restored, so the city defense of the Hanzhong cities is bound to be not strong.

The general's strength is far greater than that of the thief army, and under this advantage, it is not difficult to capture the cities of Hanzhong with the general's military strategy.

And the reason why we want to seize the cities of Hanzhong first is to let our army gain a firm foothold in Hanzhong, and second, it can make Mi Yang take care of one thing and lose the other, and the thief army will be in turmoil.

After the general cleared the cities of Hanzhong, the general personally led the army to besiege Nanzheng.

The thief army is isolated and unstable, how can it resist the general's offensive?

If you hold it for a long time, you will lose, no matter how good the thief is, he can't change this. ”

When Yang Fu finished talking about the strategic goal of the Middle Route Army led by Cao Zhen, this time he did not get the approval of the group that Fang had just expounded twice.

On the contrary, many people in the hall had a look of hesitation on their faces.

Even if the Eastern Route Army is the main force of the Southern Expeditionary Wei Army reaches 50,000 people, even if the commander of the Eastern Route Army is Cao Zhen, the first general of Cao Wei today.

The reason for all this lies in one person, and that person is Mi Yang.

The reason why Yang Fu's strategic plan for the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army was approved by everyone was fundamentally because of the strong strength shown by his side this time, and because the two Wei armies were not facing Mi Yang, but only Mi Yang's generals.

The Wei people are afraid of Mi Yang, but they are not afraid of other Han generals.

But what everyone knows is that Mi Yang will definitely sit in Nanzheng City in person.

There are a lot of 50,000 troops, and Cao Zhen is very capable, but will the Wei army succeed in taking Nanzheng as Yang Fu said?

After hesitation, questions were quickly raised.

The man's question was: There will definitely be a part of the Han army in Yangping Pass, if when the Wei army besieges Nanzheng City, the Han army in Yangping Pass returns to help and the Han army in Nanzheng City flanks the Wei army inside and outside, then what?

The man's question was quickly echoed by most of the people in the temple.

A big reason why Yang Fu suggested that Cao Zhen march from Luogu and Xiegu was that as long as the Wei army could successfully pass through these two ancient roads, then they would be able to reach Hanzhong County directly, thus crossing the dangerous Yangping Pass.

But crossing does not mean that it is taken, after Zhong Hui took the same route in history, he was worried about this, so he finally led the main force to attack Yangping Pass.

But in Yang Fu's suggestion just now, he didn't mention this, which couldn't help but make the people in the palace feel puzzled.

Isolation is a taboo for soldiers, and the same is true for internal and external attacks.

However, after someone raised this, before Yang Fu could explain, a heavy cold snort sounded in the main hall.

"If Mi Yang really dares to use troops like this, then he is not far from death."

The person who suddenly let out this cold snort was none other than Cao Hong, who had been silent all along.
