Chapter 130: Give up decisively

"The king temporarily changed the military order today, could it be because the things in Jingzhou have been repeated?"

In Yangping Pass, looking at Cao Cao, who didn't care about the casualties of the army after withdrawing from the pass, and directly stared at Cao Cao, who had studied the Jiangdong map, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and looked at Cao Cao with some uncertainty.

"I see! is a Nagasaka outcast, a good Liu Adou, I didn't expect to have such courage. The lonely Nanyang is just a bait, but the real purpose is to annex the land of Jiangdong in one fell swoop, what a big appetite! ”

Just as Jia Xu's words fell, Cao Cao slapped his palm on the map in front of him with a sudden realization, and sighed loudly with admiration.

"Liu Chan wants to annex Jiangdong?"

Hearing Cao Cao's brainless emotion, even a first-class strategist like Jia Xu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment at this moment

Wen Heke still remembered that when Yun Chang took Xiangyang, he could have captured Zi Xiaohe and took advantage of the situation to attack Fancheng, but he dragged on in Xiangyang for a month. And then after the fire burned Fancheng, he put Fancheng again and didn't take it? ”

Jia Xu, who survived in disbelief, Cao Cao mentioned the fact that the second master deliberately delayed time in Xiangfan.

"My lord, the ministers were also puzzled. But now it seems that Yun Chang's move is to use Fancheng as bait, and he intends to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and the purpose is to lead the reinforcements led by Wen Zesuo......"

Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Jia Xu had no choice but to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and answer Cao Cao's question instead.

"More than that, Wen He and look at this!"

Hearing Jia Xu's answer, Cao Cao shook his head and handed him the secret report he had received before the battle array.

"This ...... The king's meaning is that Wen Ze's 30,000 army and even Yun Chang himself are also bait, in order to catch the big fish of Lu Meng? It's just, it's just that where did Liu Chan's Wudang Flying Army come from? ”

Seeing that Lu Meng's 30,000 army was captured by Liu Chan in just one day, Jia Xu, who was also a first-class strategist in this era, also instantly understood what Cao Cao meant.

It's just that Jia Xu is still puzzled by the 30,000 'Wudang' flying troops that suddenly appeared in Jingzhou.

"It's not just Lu Meng, this Liu Adou's appetite is very big, but what he wants to fish is the entire six counties and eighty-one prefectures in Jiangdong!"

In fact, for this suddenly popping up Wudang Flying Army, not only Jia Xu, but Cao Cao was also puzzled. It's just that doubts are doubts, but it doesn't prevent him from deducing Liu Chan's true purpose from this, annexing Jiangdong!

"King, if things really develop according to this and let Liu Chan annex Jiangdong, then Jingyi Jiaoyang can be connected! At that time, the entire south of the Yangtze River will ......"

Although this secret report only mentioned that LΓΌ Meng's 30,000 troops were wiped out, and did not mention Liu Chan's counterattack, it was not difficult for a first-class strategist of Jia Xu's level to speculate on Liu Chan's subsequent actions under so many prerequisites.

Therefore, for Cao Cao's conclusion that Liu Chan wants to annex Jiangdong in one fell swoop, Jia Xu naturally does not have the slightest doubt.

"Lone is ready to temporarily abandon Hanzhong and lead the army back to Luoyang!"

Just when Jia Xu was still analyzing the serious consequences of Liu Chan's annexation of Jiangdong for Cao Cao, Cao Cao suddenly opened his mouth and decisively made the decision to 'temporarily abandon' Hanzhong.

"The king is wise!"

Seeing that Cao Cao had made a rational decision so quickly, Jia Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

You must know that although Hanzhong is very important to Cao Cao, this level of importance is far less important than Nanyang.

What's more, at present, if Cao Cao does not send troops to Nanyang to share the pressure for Sun Quan, under Liu Chan's unpreparedness, Sun Quan can support it after losing a large number of generals such as 30,000 elites and Lu Meng, and how long can it be supported, it is really unknown.

Therefore, for the sake of Nanyang, the gateway land, and at the same time, in order to let Sun Quan, who has completely torn his face with Liu Bei's group, continue to contain Liu Bei, and give up Hanzhong, which has become a 'chicken rib', it has become an inevitable choice for Cao Cao.

It's just that it is easy to give up Hanzhong, but it is not so easy to really withdraw troops smoothly. After all, Cao Cao knew what happened in Jingzhou, and it was even more impossible for Liu Bei not to know.

Therefore, in this case, Cao Cao wants to retreat with his whole body, to a large extent, it depends on whether Liu Bei agrees or not.

For this reason, Cao Cao, who knew this very well, turned his head to look at him just as Jia Xu's complimenting words fell.

"King, Wudu is now occupied by Zhang Feima Chao, and it is impossible to withdraw the army from Chen Cangdao. Only now there are only Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road, and Meridian Road can return to Guanzhong. It's just that Fu Luo Road and Meridian Road are far away from Yangping Pass, and they have to pass through the Chenggu ...... garrisoned by Liu Beijun."

"Therefore, at present, the only thing that is really suitable for the evacuation of the army is the praise slope, and the king might as well 'move' the people of Hanzhong to follow the army to break off. Liu Bei boasted of benevolence and righteousness, if he was to pursue our army and disregard the life and death of the people, hehe......"

is worthy of being called a 'poisoner', in the face of Cao Cao's inquiry, after only a little thought, Jia Xu gave Cao Cao a vicious way to kidnap the people of Hanzhong for the army.

You know, like several other roads connecting Hanzhong and Guanzhong, the roads of the Bao Slope Road are also mainly in the form of plank roads.

Since it is a plank road, this road will naturally not be too wide. When the time comes, after the army passes, as long as these 'broken' people are allowed to block a section of the road behind, unless Liu Beijun can ruthlessly squeeze these people off the plank road, it is impossible to quickly pursue Cao Jun.

"Wen He's a wonderful plan! The weaver of mats and shovelers, I didn't expect you to be bound by benevolence and righteousness, hahahaha......"

Don't look at Cao Cao's ability to write 'The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles.' Born a hundred and one left, read the heartbreak of people's intestines' poems of worrying about the country and the people, but the fact is that this is only one of his many personality faces. Like the slaughter of the city, he has also done the same evil things.

Therefore, after hearing Jia Xu's vicious plan of 'blackmailing the people to prevent Liu Bei', Cao Cao couldn't help but praise it.

……

"The whole army obeys the order, postpone the pursuit of the enemy, and rescue the people first!"

At the beginning of August of the twenty-third year of Jian'an, the valley mouth of the Baochuan Road was raining like a torrential rain, looking at the people who were blocked on the plank road after being tied up by Cao Jun, Liu Bei had no choice but to reluctantly give up his plan to pursue Cao Cao.

"Kou Feng Mengda listened to the order and ordered the two of you to immediately lead 30,000 troops and seize the three counties of Shangyong!"

Since he missed the time to pursue Cao Cao, Liu Bei also made a decision and directly aimed at the three counties of Shangyong that connected Jingxiang.

"Feng'er, after taking the three counties, you will lead 20,000 troops to help Adou!"

In the end, just as Kou Feng was about to leave, Liu Bei immediately issued an order for Liu Feng to go to Jingzhou to help after taking Shangyong.

In fact, Liu Bei was also very clear about Cao Cao's real purpose of withdrawing his troops in such a hurry. Therefore, it has become inevitable to assist Jingzhou in terms of troops.

It's just that although the time of this battle between Hanzhong and China is much shorter than the original plot, after a big war, whether it is the consumption of civil or material resources, Yizhou is about to reach its limit.

Therefore, to be able to let Kou Feng lead 20,000 troops into Jingzhou to help at this time, Liu Bei has already done his best.
