Chapter 495: Attack the Heart Before Fighting!

At that time, Wei Wu's first step, the "light soldiers" fatigued the enemy army, and now it is impossible to replicate.

The purpose of "picking up light troops" is to let the enemy work with all his troops, and at the same time let his "heavy troops" relax, so as to achieve the goal of waiting for work at ease.

Cao Cao's "light soldiers" were able to "fight for a long time" with Ma Chao and other Guanzhong coalition forces, which is the credit of the discord plan.

If the Guanzhong coalition forces were united in their hatred of the enemy and united in their hearts, Cao Cao's "light soldiers" would obviously not be able to "fight for a long time".

It is precisely because before the battle of this conference that Cao Cao first used a discordant strategy, which made all the departments in Guanzhong have different intentions, and the result is that they are unwilling to contribute when they are about to fight, so that Cao Cao can hold on to it for a long time with only part of his troops.

The current Han Kingdom does not give you a chance to be separated at all.

Whether it is Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, or Wei Yan, they are all ministers of Yuan Cong who follow Liu Bei, and these people are like Cao Wei's relatives, and they are inseparable at all.

In the second step, the "Tiger Cavalry" hit the enemy army hard, which could not be achieved in the case of the Han State being ironclad.

Moreover, Wei still had a little cavalry advantage over Han before, and then Han occupied Hanzhong, this advantage will only get smaller and smaller, and it may even be overtaken in the end.

Wuhuan horses and Western Regions horses must still have some impact when they are mounted.

The occupation of Guanzhong is equivalent to the loss of the way for Wei to obtain horses from the Western Regions.

The Han State is not the Guanzhong coalition army, Liu Gonghei and Zhang Yide are not Ma Chao and Han Sui, the situation has changed greatly, and if you use the previous strategy, how can you win?

Cao Pi frowned, and immediately asked, "Then I don't know what Zhongda's plan is?" ”

Sima Yi immediately said: "To defeat the Han State, it is necessary to see the weaknesses of the Han State and target them. Knowing the advantages of our army and using our own strengths and attacking the weaknesses of the other side can we win. ”

"What is the shortness of the Han Kingdom?"

Sima Yi continued to talk eloquently.

"There are three shortcomings in the Han Kingdom, one of them, the logistics line of the Han Kingdom is long, and attacking our Central Plains with the land of two states is okay for a short time, but it will definitely be powerless for a long time, and it may even make the people of Yizhou and Jingzhou centrifuge from Germany, and the Han Kingdom will not attack itself!"

Don't look at the fact that now Liu Chan has exploded the gold coins of the Guan Sergeant clan, which has greatly alleviated the logistics problem of grain and grass for the Han army.

But as long as the war does not stop and the front-line soldiers cannot devote themselves to agricultural production, the logistics problems of the Han Kingdom will definitely be exposed.

Cao Pi nodded in approval, and Sima Yi's words continued later.

"Second, Liu Gonghei has gone perverse in Guanzhong and has lost the hearts of the people, and in a short period of time, the Guan Sergeant clan may be afraid of the Han soldiers and be forced to submit, but as long as the Han State shows its decline, it will definitely be bitten by wolves and die without a place to be buried."

"Third, the new occupation of Guanzhong by the Han State requires energy, and not everyone in Guanzhong is obedient, and troops are needed to maintain stability. Longxi has an elite of my Great Wei, and my main force is advancing east and west, the Han State takes care of one and loses the other, once there is a mistake, once defeated, it is a defeat like a mountain, and the danger in Guanzhong will be solved! ”

After listening to Sima Yi's three shortcomings in the Han Kingdom, Cao Pi suddenly had a sense of seeing the sun.

"So, my Great Wei will win?"

Sima Yi did not answer this question directly, but said: "The Han country has three shorts, and my Great Wei has three longs." First, our Great Wei occupies the Central Plains, and the national strength is at its peak, so we don't need to worry about logistics and grain, we can afford to drag it out. Second, His Majesty will personally drive the expedition, and the soldiers will definitely use their lives wholeheartedly. Third, after all, Guanzhong is the hometown of our Great Wei, and if the army enters Guanzhong, it will be received by the local scholars. ”

With a sigh of relief, Sima Yi continued: "The Han State has three shortcomings, and my Great Wei has three strengths, as long as we target the shortcomings of the Han Kingdom and carry forward the strengths of my Great Wei, this battle will be won!" ”

"Good!"

Cao Pi's eyes lit up, and his spirit was much better.

"So how do you develop your strengths and how do you target your weaknesses?"

Now that the theory is out of the way, it's time to put it into practice.

The theory is easy to say, but in practice, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"Your Majesty suggests, focus on stability, as long as Wuguan Road is not broken by the Han army, the grain and grass of the Han State will definitely be poorly transferred, and it will drag on for a year and a half, and the Han army will collapse itself!"

Drag?

Sima Yi's strategy made Cao Pi frown slightly, what kind of good strategy is this?

Just drag the words.

There are too many variables.

"There's no quick win?"

Sima Yi's method is certainly stable, but

Cao Pi couldn't wait.

Drag on for a year and a half, and the devil knows what will happen.

And

What do the people in the country think?

The emperor drove the expedition in person, but he didn't take Guanzhong for more than a year.

Cao Pi was under political pressure.

"It's hard to win quickly."

Sima Yi had no choice but to say truthfully.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the Han State is no worse than the Wei State.

Even stronger.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

Over the years, the Wei State and the Han State have fought wars, and countless soldiers have been lost, many soldiers have been replaced, new soldiers have been replaced by veterans, and the combat effectiveness has inevitably weakened.

On the contrary, the Han State won successive battles, and the morale of the soldiers was high, and the combat effectiveness was naturally improved accordingly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a way to break the enemy?"

As soon as Cao Pi's words came out, the audience suddenly fell into silence, and then, Chen Qun slowly stepped forward, saluted Cao Pi, and said: "Zhongda's plan is the strategy of Lao Cheng to seek the country, with his own strengths, attack his shortcomings, the Han army is in chaos, at that time, the Han Kingdom will fall into a dilemma, it will definitely take action, and my Great Wei will deal with it calmly, there will be no big victory." ”

Everyone was scared by the Han Kingdom.

Now there is a more secure way, and I naturally want to use this method.

However, Cao Pi's brows were not soothed in the slightest.

"The general direction is to trap the enemy and fatigue the enemy, but in addition to the general direction, other strategies can be used, such as attacking the heart, such as using the room." Sima Yi continued later.

Is there really no way to do it quickly?

"In any case, the top priority is to take back Pubanjin, otherwise it will not be that we will attack Guanzhong, but that the Han army can set up troops in Hedong, if this is the case, the situation will be unfavorable for my Great Wei." Chen Qun continued to persuade.

"Let's go."

Cao Pi sighed, after being emperor for several years, he also knew that fighting a lot of times was not moved by his heart.

War is pure, and if you mix it with other things, such as politics, then defeat may be at hand.

Cao Pi is no longer a rookie on the battlefield.

"The army is coercing Tongguan, and the captain of Sili leads the soldiers of the state and county to recapture Pubanjin, as for the plan to attack the heart."

Cao Pi's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's up to Shang Shuling." ”

Sima Yi and Chen Qun immediately received the order.

"No!"

No matter what political pressure there is.

It doesn't matter if you're talked about or scolded.

As long as he Cao Pi recovers Tongguan, as for other criticisms, after Tongguan is recovered, it will naturally disappear.

The Wei army gained a firm foothold outside Tongguan and began to move, and three days later, Liu Chan finally arrived at Tongguan.

Merely.

As soon as he arrived at Tongguan, bad news came one after another.
