Li Dian nodded and said, "The land of Hanzhong connects to Sichuan and Shu in the south, connects to Longyou in the west, and enters Guanzhong in the north, which is actually a crossroads. If Cao's army takes Hanzhong, it will revitalize the situation. You can attack the north, enter Sichuan, and cut off Longyou..."

When Ma Zhong heard this, he smiled and said, "Cao Thief really has a good calculation!"

Zhao Yun was considered a kind of saying that surrounded Wei and saved Zhao in Youbei, so Cao Ren was now "surrounded Wei and saved Zhao" from another perspective in Wuguan.

On the one hand, we used Wuguan to attract attention and involved the defenders of Guanzhong as much as possible. On the other hand, we were peeping at Hanzhong. If we could really conquer Hanzhong, then the entire structure of Cao's army would be revitalized, and the cavalry was cut off from the connection between the north and the south. In addition, the Jiangdong army attacked Sichuan and Shu. If it was a chain reaction, it would be really effective to achieve a slight effect...

If the cavalry army came to deal with Cao Ren, Cao Ren would turn the real into the virtual and then withdraw back to Jingzhou, and would not suffer much loss, but it would be equivalent to mobilizing the main force of the cavalry and spying on Fei Qian's virtual and real.

『Then…』 Ma Zhong said, 『Since that is the case, he would withdraw his outpost, strengthen his walls and clear his fields, and fight to the death with Cao's army!』

When Li Dian heard Ma Zhong's words, he nodded first and then shook his head.

Ma Heng, who was standing beside him, said: "I think it is not appropriate to withdraw the outpost..."

"Why?" asked Ma Zhong.

"If we withdraw the outpost now, wouldn't it just tell Cao Zixiao that we knew his plan?" Ma Heng said, "And withdrawing the outpost means that we have lost control of the front line and can only passively wait for Cao's army to attack..."

Ma Zhong thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It makes sense, but in this way, wouldn't it be better to sit and watch Cao Ren show his power in Wuguan?"

Chang Lin said slowly at this time, "Since you can't withdraw, why not try to hit me?"

Li Dian's hand stroking his beard paused, "I wish to hear it carefully."

Chang Lingong bowed and said, "The soldiers we are now deploying in the Shangyong area are a three-fold song. They were originally mainly defending against the Di people in the Shangyong area and the Shen family... The subordinates thought so. The Shen family was a little confused at first. Now if the Cao army came, they would definitely collude with the Cao army. If we pretended to go to rescue Wuguan and attack Jingxiang sideways, then the Cao army would definitely respond... When it was not changed, they did not know the change, but if the variables were obvious, it would be a fixed number, and they could be targeted at that time..."

Ma Heng clapped his hands and said, "The Chief Secretary said very much! As long as we move, the Shen family will inevitably send the news to Cao's army. At that time, Cao Zixiao will definitely take his men and horses to secretly retreat from the Wuguan Road, trying to cut off our retreat and then march into Hanzhong."

Ma Zhong was excited, "Okay! Then we can ambush Cao's army in reverse!"

Li Dian stood up and walked to the Hanzhong map carriage beside him to watch.

Indeed, the Shangyong area is the key point of the current situation in Hanzhong.

Li Dian thought for a moment and ordered: "Send an order to make Shangyong's troops more vigilant... Many scouts should not relax and carelessly."

Regardless of whether the Cao army is really coming to attack Hanzhong, scout detection is indispensable, and doing so is in line with normal response strategies and will not expose combat intentions in advance.

After all, Wuguan is so powerful that Hanzhong will show abnormality if it doesn’t do any movement.

After Li Dian issued the order, he was silent for a little while and sighed softly, "It depends on how Cao Zixiao chose..."

...

...

Previously, Shangyong Shen's family destroyed Li Dian's demonstration farming in Hanzhong, which did cause trouble for Li Dian, but in turn was used by Li Dian.

When Zhang Liao was in Hanzhong, he used his power to suppress it, but his power could not last long. After a long time, he would feel resentment. Therefore, after Li Dian took over Hanzhong, he began to change directions and used Yinshan to educate the Southern Xiongnu as a template to ease the relationship with the ethnic minorities around Hanzhong, mainly with the Di people.

Shen instigated the Di people to burn the demonstration field and thought he was a plan, but Shen did not expect Li Dian to endure it and did not directly promote the army...

This is the reason why it is better to slow down in many things than to hurry.

If Li Dian was not concerned about the situation at that time, it was that most of the Di people were in the mountains, and the attack was not easy, and there was little harvest. On the other hand, the dead were unable to speak, which would make the living people even more resentful and deepen the rift between the Han and the Di people. But Li Dian was smart here, and he was very thundering and raining, so he let the Di people fight the Di people by themselves. He did not pay much, but it made the Di people suspicious and began to split.

So the Di people in Hanzhong were successfully cut into two parts by Li Dian. One was in the north of Hanzhong, that is, the one who was encouraged by Shen and others, and the other part was in Nanzheng, and the Di people in Hanzhong, who were naturally closer to Li Dian in order to prove their innocence.

Thinking of the hard work of planning, Li Dian took it away...

Whenever the Shen brothers think of this, they feel that they will be stuck in their hearts in one breath and will not be smooth.

Although Li Dian did not go out to attack Shangyong and did not say anything to do anything to Shangyong, the Shen brothers knew in their hearts that the biting dog... Well, that's probably what it means. If Li Dian really whispered, and was as furious as a martial man, Shen was not afraid. But now Li Dian is like a guillotine hanging on their heads. Who knows when will it come to calculate?

In order to prevent Li Dian, Shen will do more things, but if he does more, he will also reveal more. It will be difficult to find some protective colors at that time. And as time goes by, Li Dian gradually becomes stable in Hanzhong and has close transactions with the Di people. Even if Shen wants to provoke it, it will not be as easy as when Li Dian first arrived in Hanzhong.

Although the Shen family pretends to be pure and good on the surface, they are unlikely to go back, whether they consider actual land interests or the current situation. So they can only grit their teeth and go all the way to the dark. On the one hand, they secretly mobilize the Shen family's children to Shandong first and transfer some of their assets. On the other hand, they are also trying to collude with Cao's army, thinking that they can turn the world around.

In fact, this mentality is like a corrupt official. He knows that he has been wrong, but he can't make up his mind to turn around. He holds a lucky mentality and thinks what if? This lucky mentality supports Shen. If he votes, wouldn't he not tell himself? Wouldn't he be a fool?

So, when the Shen brothers discovered that Cao Ren had a big move in Wuguan, the two were not surprised but happy, thinking that their good opportunity had finally come, but everything in the world is often like this. Who can tell the crisis or the good opportunity clearly?
