was so troubled by Ma Yan, and the complexity and restraint in Zhang He's heart were basically gone. At least Ma Tan, the bastard, has not changed at all, and he is still the same horse who was beaten by him in prison to join the army.

Since that's the case, there's no need to be restrained, anyway, Ma Jian can't beat him.

"In my opinion, you don't need to be in such a hurry to attack Nanyang Counties. is so anxious to attack the city, it is easy for the pseudo-Wei to see the truth and let them know our details. Zhang He sat down again and explained to Ma Yan,

"This time, our Han army went out of Wudang and caught Nanyang off guard. Although Wancheng is prepared, most places don't know our reality at all. ”

"I'm sure that most of the counties in Nanyang don't even know how many troops we have, and they don't know what our specific combat strength is."

"In this way, we might as well be happy and continue to besiege Wancheng with the main force of soldiers and horses. At the same time, except for the county seat through which the grain road passes, the rest of the county towns in the south do not ask, and let them guess for themselves how many troops we have. ”

"In this way, all parts of Nanyang can only estimate our strength by themselves. And after being attacked by a surprise, most of the officials of the puppet Wei will overestimate our strength and scare themselves. ”

"Cowardly afraid that the dead will run away on their own, even if they don't run, they will defend the city, and there will definitely be no threat to us."

"The most important thing is that by surrounding Wancheng and letting it go around asking for help, you can lure out the Wei army from all over the country and attack it in the wild!"

Zhang He, a big cadre in the Cao Wei system, knows the other side, especially Zhang He of the Nanyang Military Region. Most of the garrisons here are in Wancheng and Xinye, but some troops are stationed in Nanyang.

If these forces force themselves to besiege it, they will definitely hold on to the city, and it will be difficult to conquer. But if Wancheng is in danger and the Han army is besieging urgently, they will inevitably go out of the city to help Wancheng, and then ......

"I see, Lao Zhang, your plan is to surround the point and send reinforcements?" Ma Tan touched his chin and quickly understood what Zhang He meant.

To put it simply, it is to attack the enemy's place and save it, and then draw out enemy reinforcements to defeat it in the field. This tactic was in the previous life, but it was the favorite tactic of a certain heroic unit.

"Reinforcements? So to speak. Zhang He was slightly stunned, pondered for a while and felt that it seemed to mean right, so he nodded and said.

"The military position of the Wancheng guard general is the highest in Nanyang, and all the generals of the garrison are his subordinates. If we attack the city fiercely, the defenders of Wancheng will inevitably send people to gather reinforcements. ”

"Field warfare is the strength of the Han army, there is no danger to defend on the Nanyang Plain, and it should not be too difficult to break the puppet Wei reinforcements."

"As for Kunyang ......" Zhang He changed his words and led the topic to Kunyang and Yexian.

"Kunyang Ye County is the northern gate of Nanyang, and it really needs to be occupied quickly. This is very important, and it may be very dangerous to resist the counterattack of the Wei army head-on. ”

"So I suggest you send a general to capture and defend it. If this place is not occupied, what we do in Nanyang will be useless. ”

Zhang He deserves to be a general, and quickly listed the most important contradictions on the opposite side to Ma Yan. Ma Tan nodded approvingly, and then replied,

"Kunyang Ye County don't have to worry, I will go to the platform in person! Wancheng's side of the matter, just rely on Ling and Zhang Yi to be responsible! ”

"You're going in person?" Zhang He was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed suddenly.

"Can you? With your martial arts, if you can't keep it, run out? Don't tell me that you have a lot of achievements in the north, once you are besieged, it is useless to ride a horse and then charge into battle, martial arts are a hard requirement. ”

"Why don't you let me follow? If nothing else, if the city is broken, I will still be able to get you out of the chaos......"

"No need, Wancheng still needs you." Ma Tan waved his hand and rejected Zhang He's suggestion.

"My horse is very hard, even if Cao Wei's troops come, they want to keep me. As long as I don't die, not a single soldier can cross Ye County, I said! ”

In this regard, Zhang He just glanced at Ma Jian and didn't say anything.

"Okay, you're the commander, you have the final say."

"Okay, you continue to surround Wancheng, and wait for the war to end and ask you for a drink!"

…………

…………

…………

Ma Tan then followed Zhang He's suggestion and divided only part of his forces to smooth the grain route. Except for the county seat through which the grain road passes, the rest of the county basically don't look at it.

At the same time, Ma Tan ordered Zhang He and Zhang Yi to lead 30,000 troops together and continue to besiege Wancheng. In the future, Yizhou will continue to send reinforcements, all of which are in charge of Zhang He and Zhang Yi.

They don't have many tasks, which is to encircle the point to send reinforcements and smash Wancheng.

There is no limit to the time given to them by Ma Tan, but they are not too quick to break the city. Because to be honest, Ma Tan himself doesn't know how long he can defend Kunyang.

Nanfang Pet and Liu Yin have already led 20,000 troops to break through Dangyang, and the main force has already fallen under the city of Yicheng. Wang Ping guarded Xinye, blocked the retreat of Xiangfan's Wei army, and surrounded Xiangfan with Xiang Pet.

After arranging these, Ma Tan led 20,000 main forces and went straight to the northwest corner of Nanyang, and the troops pointed directly at Kunyang.

However, when Ma Tan's army marched to Yexian County and prepared to besiege the city, it encountered a large group of people blocking the road.

It's either the Wei army, or a group of ragged and defenseless people.

When this group of people saw the banner of the Han army, they were all overjoyed. Not afraid that the Han army would rob, they gathered on the side of the road to pay homage to the Han army.

"General! A large number of people suddenly gathered beside the road, and I don't know what they meant. The vanguard general quickly reported the matter to Ma Yan. Seeing this, Ma Tan was a little strange, and came to the vanguard in person to see what was going on.

As a result, as soon as Ma Tan arrived at the front army, he was pulled by several ecstatic people.

"General Han, how is General Zuo's health now? Are you still alive? ”

"After so many years, I finally waited for our Han's heavenly army to arrive!"

"It has been 24 years since I said goodbye to General Zuo. The hair is all gray, and I finally waited for General Zuo to come back with the army! ”

"General Zuo is in good health? Twenty-four years ago, we can't bear to forget the grace of General Zuo! ”

Before the words were finished, a group of people could no longer cry, and they burst into tears.

Seeing this scene, Ma Jian basically understood, and also fell into silence.

They are the old and new people! It was more than 100,000 people who followed Emperor Liu Xiandi to Xiakou and was captured by Cao Jun in Dangyang.

Because of Liu Biao's violent death, Liu Cong surrendered, and Liu Bei, who served as the captain of the Jingzhou security team, had to flee to Xiakou. As a result, because Cao Jun's reputation was too bad at that time, Xinye Fancheng and even Xiangyang, hundreds of people followed Liu Bei's plan to run together.

There are more than 100,000 people, countless baggage, and the speed of travel is like a turtle crawling. Liu Bei handed over all the main forces to Guan Yu, thinking that he would go first, and personally led 2,000 people to cover the retreat of the people.

That was Liu Bei's most embarrassing moment, that was where General Zhao became famous, but it was also the time when the dreams of hundreds of people were broken.

In the end, Lao Liu's two daughters and more than 100,000 people did not run away, and they were all captured by Cao Jun. The last time Ma Tan attacked Xinye, I didn't find that anyone thought that Nanyang had forgotten Liu Bei's old kindness.

Now I know that these people who have received Liu Bei's old kindness have all been thrown to such a place to the north to Tuntian.

Three watches, not a drop is gone
