Chapter 183 Step 2 Strategy

However, Xue Bing was explaining the next plan with Zhang Ren. Suddenly, Xin Xianying came to ask for a meeting. She was stunned. But when she thought about it, she knew that Xin Xianying was coming to ask her about her brother's situation.

He turned around and said to the soldier, "Take Miss Xin to the side hall first to rest. I will go to see her after talking to General Zhang." Seeing that the soldier retreated, he continued to say to Zhang Ren, "Where did you say that?"

Zhang Ren was still there quietly. When he heard Xue Bing ask, he hurriedly said, "The general wants to use the art of attacking with General Zhao to explore the northwest of Chang'an."

Xue Bing patted his forehead and said, "Yes! Speaking of this." Then he continued to preach to Zhang Ren on the map: "General Zhao and I led two armies respectively. I led seven thousand soldiers to be the right one, and General Zhao led three thousand soldiers to be the right one.

First seize Xianyang, then advance to martial arts.”

Zhang Ren's eyes slid back and forth along the map with Xue Bing's fingers. Seeing Xue Bing's words of taking away Xianyang, he said, "If all these two places are taken, there will be no obstacles in the southeast of Qinchuan. The general can go straight in, echoing the troops stationed in Jieting, and defeating Xu Huang's Yongzhou army.

”

Xue Bing said: "Not bad! And if we follow the original plan, before our army arrived in Qinchuan, the king's army should have already worked with General Wei Yan to seize Chen Cang and headed northward to the south of Qinchuan.

If this is the case, the three armies would encircle Qinchuan. Even if Xu Huang had a strong ability to command troops, he would not be able to escape the defeat."

While listening, Zhang Ren observed the map. After hearing this, he said happily: "If this is the case, Yongzhou will be settled! Although Liangzhou has not been taken, it is vast and sparsely populated, and there are even less capable people. Just suck it." Then he took a breath.

Then he said, "If Yong Liang takes all his life, why worry about the king's great cause not being accomplished?"

Xue Bing looked at Zhang Ren, but thought that this man wanted to be loyal to Liu Zhang a few years ago, but after he worked under Liu Bei for several years, he was thinking about how to help Liu Bei achieve great things.

Looking at Zhang Ren's current happiness, Xue Bing shook his head lightly. Then he said, "But if there are variables during the period, we need to change as well."

Without waiting for Zhang Ren to ask, he continued: "If General Zhao and I successfully seized martial arts and then took down Xinping, Chen Cang was still unbreakable, then General Zhao would need to ask General Zhao to lead his troops and attack Chen Cang from the northeast, and then the army would go north again.

”

"If everything goes well. After I seized Xinping on this road, Chen Cang has also taken it away, then General Zhao's army can turn around and attack Feng Sa."

Zhang Ren was stunned when he heard this and searched on the map for a while. He said in confusion: "Feng Sa?" After finding the location, he immediately understood and asked: "Are the general worried that Cao's troops would go through water to reinforce Yongzhou?"

It turned out that Feng Sa happened to be at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Wei River, and it happened to block the possibility of Cao Wei's power crossing the river.

Xue Bing suddenly said, "In the past, General Ma Chao led 100,000 elite troops from Xiliang. With tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry, they fought all the way, and they took all Tongguan and Chang'an. I thought that they could block all the east gates of Yongzhou and restlessly.

However, Cao Cao suddenly led his troops across the Yellow River, and then crossed the Wei River, defeating General Ma's army, causing the entire Yongzhou to return to Cao Cao. And our situation today is far more dangerous than General Ma Chao's past.

Because there are still more than 100,000 Cao troops in Yongzhou that have not been cleared, as long as some Cao soldiers cross the river, the battle situation in Yongzhou will be even more critical. Therefore, we have to prevent Cao Cao from using this method to increase his troops in Yongzhou."

Then, he said to Zhang Ren with a serious look on his face: "However, when he was leading troops to attack Wu Gong with General Zhao Yun, our army was at risk of being attacked by Cao's army at any time. Therefore, General Zhang was not only guarding Chang'an and ensuring that Chang'an was safe.

We also need to beware of the trends in the Wei River at any time. If you find any abnormalities, you must notify me and General Zhao Yun as soon as possible."

Seeing Xue Bing's serious face, Zhang Ren nodded quickly and responded: "The last general will save you the loss, and the last general will definitely live up to the general's entrustedness."

Xue Bing nodded, took out many more books and said to Zhang Ren: "These are the specific information about Chang'an City, including the remaining food and grass, the number of people, and the number of military weapons.

In addition, our army's current combat power, military equipment, and the number of Cao soldiers and prisoners imprisoned in the city. Daily food and grass consumption... and everything else is here.

Chang'an is left to you!" After that, without waiting for Zhang Ren to react, he left the General Office.

In the hall, only Zhang Ren was left looking at the various sects piled up like a hill in front of him. After a while, he said, "Why didn't I take over after General Xue left?"...

In 215 AD, the late spring of the 20th year of Jian'an.

Chang'an, Tongguan, Qingni Pass and other places all fell into the hands of King Liu Bei of Hanzhong. At this time, the Cao Wei army in Yongzhou was completely cut out from the core forces of Cao Wei. The news could not be sent out, and the orders issued by Xuchang could not be transmitted.

When Cao Cao learned that all the land had been blocked, the headache that had just improved was becoming more serious and he fell on the bed all day long and could not be in charge of the director.

Fortunately, several messages from the other two battlefields made him feel a little better.

Zhang Liao led his troops to confront Zhou Yu for more than a month, and later he was led by Cao Pi to help him. The morale of his troops became even stronger. Zhou Yu suffered a few battles in succession. This caused Zhou Yu's army to retreat to Hefei and could not go north again.

On the side of Wancheng, since Cao Zhang arrived, the defense of Wancheng has been improved by several levels. Although Guan Yu's army sent people to attack the city every three or five days, they were helpless in Wancheng.

This made Cao Zhang actually write a sentence in his letter: "Guan Yu is just like this!"

Cao Cao received the letter, covered his head and shouted, "How dare my son look down on Yun Chang so much? Come and write a book quickly and send it to Wancheng quickly, so that he should not underestimate the enemy!"

Then he turned to everyone and said to the left and right: "Come on the map of Yongzhou!"

Soon after, the map was taken, Cao Cao covered his head with one hand and pressed the other hand and said, "I don't expect that Liu Bei actually stole Chang'an and Tongguan and other Yongzhou portals. The person who wanted to offer this plan wanted to close the door first and then surround Xu Huang's troops in Yongzhou.

"At this point, he looked around everyone and said, "I don't know if the person who offered this plan was Zhuge Kongming or Pang Shiyuan?"

He said, his eyes looked at the map again, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "What a pity! What a pity!"

The left and right left were puzzled and asked hurriedly: "What a pity, the king?"

Cao Cao said, "It's a pity that both of them have forgotten Ma Chao's defeat. They actually left this empty door for the lonely one.

However, in Gu's opinion, it must be that Liu Bei's subordinates did not have enough troops, otherwise how could he make this big mistake? If his troops were enough and blocked this gate, even if Gu could personally lead the army to fight, he would not be able to save the two states of Yongliang! But now he left the empty gate to Gu, how could he not use it?"

After saying that, he looked at everyone again, but he was thinking about who was the commander to lead the troops to rescue Yongzhou. As he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone nearby saying, "I recommend one person to defeat Liu Bei's army and restore the entire territory of Yongliang under the rule of the king."

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at him. The person who made a sound was Liu Ye. He immediately said, "I don't know who Zi Yang protects?"

When Liu Ye saw Cao Cao asking, he stepped forward and said, "This person is Sima Fang's second son Sima Yi, who was originally the king's lord!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows frowned slightly, but he didn't know whether it was a headache or a problem or something else. Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Liu Ye stopped making any suggestions at the moment, but just stood there quietly, waiting for Cao Cao to speak.

After a while, Cao Cao said: "The Gu's headache is unbearable and he can't take charge anymore. Please retreat for the time being. When the Gu's headache is slightly better, we will discuss this matter again." After that, he said: "Zi Dan stays to accompany the Gu!"

Everyone said that Cao Cao did not like Sima Yi, so he did not want him to command the troops. He did not speak at the moment and quietly retreated. Soon, Cao Zhen was the only one left in the room.

Cao Cao waited for everyone to walk far away and could not even hear the sound of footsteps. He called Cao Zhen to his side and talked with him for a long time.

This talk was from noon to evening. No one knew what was discussed during the period except these two people. In short, after the evening, instructions were passed from the Wei Palace.

He took Cao Zhen as the governor, led 50,000 troops and rushed to Yongzhou to rescue. He also took Sima Yi as the deputy governor and assisted Cao Zhen.

Later, Cao Zhen recommended four people, all of whom were the sons of Xiahou Yuan. These four people were Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Wei, Xiahou Hui, and Xiahou He. However, these four sons, since they learned about their father's death, they practiced civil and military life all day long.

Among them, the eldest son Xiahou Ba often gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "I will destroy Liu Bei sooner or later to avenge my father's revenge."

At that moment, Cao Cao allowed four people to follow the army. Cao Zhen then sent Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Wei as the vanguard, Xiahou Hui and Xiahou He were the marching Sima, and praised the strategy with Sima Yi.

Then, when the troops and horses were in order and the food and grass were ready, in the 20th year of Jian'an, at the end of March, he left Xuchang and went straight to Yongzhou...

But after Xue Bing threw all the things in Chang'an to Zhang Ren, he felt that he was much more relaxed. He hummed the song and came outside the side hall. But he didn't forget that there were still people waiting to see him here.

Kuo walked in and saw Xin Xianying standing there quietly saluting him. He immediately said, "I am plaguing everything, but Miss Xin has been waiting for a long time."

Xin Xianying's face did not change, but said lightly: "It is the honor of the young girl to take time to see her in her busy schedule."

Seeing that Xin Xianying was not humble and had no expression on her face, Xue Bing stopped talking nonsense, and said, "I don't know what is the important thing for Miss Xin to come to find this general?"

Xin Xianying said: "The little girl is here to see my brother so that she can know if she is safe."

Xue Bing smiled and replied, "Mr. Xin is my guest, and I will not neglect him.

"When he said this, seeing that Xin Xianying's face was still the same, and there was a tendency to deteriorate gradually, he said, "If Miss doesn't believe it, go to see Mr. Xin with me, okay?"
