In this way, Cao Jun continued to train and smelt steel, which lasted for three months.

In the past month, the scale of the tiger and leopard ride has expanded to 20,000 people, and all of them are steel equipment, which looks extremely exciting.

Not only that, but the three-month training has raised the strength of the tiger and leopard riding by more than one notch.

Cao Cao couldn't hold back any longer.

It's not just 20,000 tigers and leopards to ride.

Among the rest of the ordinary soldiers, a full 100,000 elite soldiers were also selected!

These 100,000 elite soldiers also train hard every day, and now their physical strength is beyond ordinary people.

It's not just push-ups, etc., but also the modern military system given by Lin Chuan!

After these things were applied, the soldiers changed their lazy personalities, and each of them was a crack general.

"Prime Minister, that Xiliang Ma Teng seems to be about to move, and he is about to send troops!"

At this moment, Xun You reported in a low voice.

"Okay, I'm still afraid that he won't send troops!"

"Chuan Wu order, send a piece of paper to that Lu, send 200,000 elite soldiers, and 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride north!"

Cao Cao slapped the case and shouted.

Xun You hurriedly received the order.

This time, none of the civil servants and military generals objected.

This month of hard training, for this day!

Taoguang has been obscure for more than three months, and now the fairy grain has been harvested and distributed to the people.

This is good, the people all sing the praises of the prime minister's great grace and worship one after another.

The people's hearts have stabilized, and now is the time to send troops!

"Xiahoudun, Le Jin, Zhang Liao listens to orders!"

"The three of you led 100,000 troops to attack Hanzhong from the south side, and always be on guard against the movement of Bashu!"

Cao Cao raised his arms and shouted, and the three generals walked out of the column one after another:

"Whoa!"

Cao Cao continued to glance at the ministers and said:

"Yu Ban, Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan listen to orders!"

"You three people lead 100,000 troops, attack Hanzhong from the north side, always watch out for the movement of Xiliang, if the Xiliang soldiers come to help, the main attack on the Xiliang army!"

"Whoa!"

Cao Cao continued:

"Cao Chun, Xu Huang, Cao Ren listen to orders!"

"You three people lead 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride, and follow me to attack Hanzhong head-on!"

"Whoa!"

Cao Cao didn't think about directly pushing the 210,000 army to Hanzhong, but it was a bit dangerous to do so.

Although the defense of this Hanzhong is not good, the terrain is good.

There is Bashu on the south side, and Xiliang on the north side, which is the natural barrier between the two forces.

If Hanzhong is lost, the two will be isolated and helpless, and they will inevitably fight to the death.

Therefore, on the surface, this trip is to take Hanzhong first, but in fact, it is to take down all the three forces.

However, Cao Cao secretly shifted his focus to the direction of Bashu.

Actually, Ma Teng is not so easy to fight.

After all, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is prestigious, although it is completely inferior to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but it has an absolute advantage in numbers.

In addition, Ma Teng and Han Sui, as well as Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, are all brave and good at fighting, and it may not be appropriate to have a head-on conflict with them.

Moreover, in this attack on Hanzhong, Ma Teng will withdraw, but he will not necessarily rush to help.

After all, if Ma Teng sent troops to attack the pass and wanted to enter the Central Plains, it was obviously impossible under the current fortifications.

The cavalry siege was already at a disadvantage, and in addition to fighting in the Central Plains, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not have any advantage.

As long as you don't go out of the retreat, according to the pass, Xiliang Tieqi has no way at all.

The only food problem has also been improved, as long as the pass does not take the initiative to send troops, there is no one to break it.

If they attack Hanzhong, they will see that they will not be able to capture the pass, and they will definitely take into account that Xiliang will be affected and besieged by Wei to save Zhao, and they will definitely lead the army back to Xiliang.

However, they would not dare to fight against an army of 100,000.

Not to mention winning or losing, there are a lot of aliens around Xiliang, and they can't be allowed to stay outside for too long.

This is why it is a big problem for Ma Teng to want to enter the Central Plains.

But even so, it is more difficult to attack Xiliang.

The west is cold and bitterly cold, and the weather alone makes the vast majority of soldiers unbearable, and it is a battle in the mountains and grasslands.

Except for the strength of the tiger and leopard cavalry, it is difficult for the infantry to play a role.

Therefore, thinking about it, only Bashu is a good opening edge.

As long as he attacked Hanzhong and Xiliang retreated, Cao Cao planned to transfer all the 100,000 troops on the north side to the front of Hanzhong.

And the 10,000 tigers and leopards led by himself can directly follow the 100,000 troops on the south side and pack up with Bashu.

According to Lin Chuan, although Liu Zhang of Bashu is incompetent, his Wenchen generals are not weak at all.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to keep such a rich Bashu.

After all, Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, is a capable person.

The military generals he left behind were all top talents during the Three Kingdoms period.

Fa Zheng, a ruthless man in the Three Kingdoms, some people even say that he is the star of Shu Han, if it weren't for his bad life and early death, I'm afraid that with his assistance, the later Shu Han would not be supported by Zhuge Liang alone.

Zhang Song, who is knowledgeable, has no big strategy, but he is familiar with Bashu, and let him guard Bashu like a fish in water.

The military general is only one person, Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren must not be underestimated.

This person has superb bow skills, and he is not inferior to Huang Zhong at all, but it is a pity that only one of them can handle the general in the entire Bashu, and the master is not very good, so the ending is tragic.

These three people are the backbone and mainstay of Bashu, and they are not easy to deal with.

However, in addition to Zhang Ren, the other two courtiers, Lin Chuan came up with a solution.

Surrender!

As we all know, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song both descended to Shu Han.

In fact, there is no other reason, that is, Liu Zhang is too incompetent, he can only be greedy for pleasure, and he has no ambition at all.

Working under such a person is very aggrieved.

Moreover, the foundation left by Liu Yan is extremely rich, and the land of Bashu is so rich, and there is an innate advantage in raising soldiers.

When the Three Kingdoms were so war-torn, Bashu was extremely comfortable, much better than Jiangdong, which could be in a corner of peace.

This good hand was played by Liu Zhang, which the two had already seen through.

As long as they meet a suitable Mingjun at this time, they will inevitably waver.

And this is also Lin Chuan telling Cao Cao that he suggested that he intentionally or unintentionally reveal the news of the grain harvest, and then send troops.

As long as the war starts, and Zhang Ren leads the army to surrender, Cao Cao can send one person to Bashu, find the two, and divide them with the two.

Knowing the current situation, the probability of surrender is not low!

Even if the surrender fails, it's a big deal to spend more time taking down Bashu.

In Hanzhong, Cao Cao is bound to win.

Of course, Cao Cao also left a hand in Wulin and sent 300,000 troops to garrison it to prevent the Sun-Liu coalition army from carrying out a sneak attack.

With Cao Cao's order.

The 210,000 troops were divided into three routes, and they set out from Wulin and marched towards Hanzhong.

Cao Cao moved, and the entire land of Kyushu trembled.

This sentence is not an exaggeration at all, such as today, the most powerful prince is Cao Cao'er.

With the horn of the expedition sounded.

Xiliang's iron cavalry, marching towards Hanzhong!
