Chapter 320: The Void Is True

It is said that in the Qingxian Palace, the Dragon Ball and Chen Palace teams, representing the two major forces of the Black Mountain Army and the Chen Liujun, met here to study the strategic deployment of eliminating Cao Mengde, a strong enemy in the Central Plains.

Chen Gong put on a posture of absolute trust and made the deployment of Lu Bu's more than 100,000 troops clear. Chen Long asked Zhou Budo, who was pretending to be Long Zhou, to talk about his strategic ideas, Chen Gong was scheming, and his joy and anger were invisible, and Zang Ba couldn't help but show disdain when he saw this Long Zhou so young.

Zhou Budo didn't care and said the first idea. It turned out that in Zhou Budo's conception, Chen Liujun and the Montenegrin army needed two ways to attack, both of which were virtual and real, and the virtual and the real were combined.

First of all, the 50,000 soldiers led by Lu Bu personally attacked 30,000 people in Dingtao, which were guarded by Lejin, Li Dian and Liangmao, and Zang Ba led 20,000 troops under his command to prevent the rescue of Cao County's chariots, and ambushed on the road leading to Dingtao in Cao County to carry out ambush operations, completely cutting off the connection between Dingtao and Cao County.

The large-scale operation of these 70,000 troops against 35,000 troops includes sieges, field battles, ambushes, reinforcements, heads-up and other war elements, both sides are famous generals, there are a large number of supplies, and it is likely that the big battle of tug-of-war back and forth has become a virtual soldier to contain Cao Cao's White Tiger Army in Long Zhou's mouth.

Zang Ba's face was full of disdain, his neck was held high, he didn't even glance at Zhou Budo from the corner of his eyes, and said: "According to what Mr. Xiaolong said, my lord's 70,000 main force is still a virtual soldier, is it true that you are a real soldier all the way?" What is the goal of you real soldiers?"

Zhou Budo was neither happy nor angry, but still looked neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "The real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, the virtual is the real, the virtual is the real, and the art of confusing the enemy is also." ”

"General Zang Xuangao is right, we are indeed real soldiers along the way, and we must make some gains. If Lu Wenhou can win Dingtao all the way, they will naturally be happy and give Cao Cao's side and back a heavy blow, but objectively, Lejin and Li Dian are not so easy to give up Dingtao. Once the battle situation is stalemate and Cao Cao's troops return, it will be difficult to make a great breakthrough, and there will be no strategic threat. ”

"Therefore, along the way, we must directly threaten Cao Cao's heart, so that he does not dare to save Ding Tao. The details are confidential, and I wonder if everyone here can keep them strictly confidential?" After saying that, he asked for the Dragon Ball with his eyes, meaning that he didn't know whether to tell the details of the battle.

Chen Long looked around the hall and said, "Gongtai, can you please ask the guards to step back for the time being." Chen Gong nodded and waved everyone away, Chen Long continued: "All of you here are generals, Long Zhou, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Zhou Budo said: "Please all the generals, come here." Everyone didn't understand what they meant, and they all gathered around Zhou Budo. Zhou Budo dipped his pen in some water, drew an irregular ellipse in a zigzag, drew a thin line, and said: "This line is the Yellow River, and this circle is the ancient Daze Heze." The position of my Montenegrin Army, now here. As he spoke, he drew a triangle to the east of Chen Liu, indicating the position of the Black Mountain Army.

"Dingtao is in the south of Heze, through the border of Dong'e County, the border of Juye County, that is, the Yanzhou Zhizhi City, Qufu area, between the counties and towns are numerous, and the middle layer is heavily armed, and there are famous generals to guard it." Zhou Budo drew a few triangles in the south and southeast of Heze, representing Dingtao and Dong'e, Rencheng, etc., and several famous generals who came over couldn't help but have a bird's-eye view, as if a simple map was in front of them.

Several people have begun to look at Long Zhou with admiration, but they don't know that map making is Zhou Budo's strength.

Zhou Budo continued: "To the north of Heze, between it and the Yellow River, is Juancheng, the original governance of Yanzhou. After saying this, Chen Gong was an old fox after all, and a little spark actually burst out in his eyes, and he seemed to have grasped Long Zhou's strategic focus at once.

"Between Juancheng and Rencheng, there is a large plain, suitable for cavalry surprise attacks, and there is only a small Xiaqiu County in the middle. The current garrison of Juancheng is only 5,000, if the Ming is Dingtao, the secret army is sent to Juancheng, and the 200,000 army besieges the city, it can be drummed down. ”

"Juancheng has fallen, and Dingtao is a big battle, ensuring that Cao Cao panicked, and took advantage of his transfer of troops everywhere to plug the holes on this side of Juancheng, and Lü Wenhou's army could turn the virtual into solid, and cooperate with the Montenegrin army, so that he could not take care of the left and right. When the time comes, whether to fight a siege war or a blitzkrieg by surprise, of course, each will show its ability! Hahaha! Zhou Budo laughed proudly, as if Juancheng had been trampled under his feet.

Chen Gong nodded again and again, Zang Ba also put away his disdainful look, Zhou Budo's strategic arrangement naturally has great feasibility and the possibility of success. What Chen Gong and the others didn't know was that Chen Long and Zhou Budo had already agreed on the first military goal of the Montenegrin Army, which was not Dingtao or Juancheng, but Puyang, the largest city at the intersection of Yanzhou and Jizhou---------.

The Puyang region crosses the plain of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, borders with Handan and Yecheng in Jizhou in the north, Jiyin County and Juancheng County in Yanzhou in the east, and Tangyin County and Huaxian County in Anyang County in Bingzhou in the west.

Puyang was called Emperor Hill in ancient times, and it is rumored that one of the five emperors had taken this as the capital, so it had the reputation of the imperial capital. The name of Puyang began in the Warring States Period, and it was named because it was located in Pushui Zhiyang, and it was one of the important birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization.

During the Warring States Period, the people of Puyang included politicians and military strategists Wu Qi, reformers Shang Ying, politicians Lü Buwei, diplomats Zhang Yi, etc., which can be said to be full of talents. In the late Warring States period, the great powers competed for hegemony, and wars in this area were frequent and repeatedly contested, reflecting an extremely important strategic position.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, in order to restrain the water of the Yellow River, the Great Golden Embankment was built. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the people of Puyang helped Xiang Yu defeat Zhang Han, which accelerated the fall of the Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, Puyang was still the seat of the East County, and Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty had led tens of thousands of officials and soldiers to Puyang in the second year of Yuan Feng (109 BC); In the autumn of the first four years of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty (29 BC), the river was decided in the east county, and the imperial court sent officials to block it and build a golden embankment; In the twelfth year of Emperor Yongping of the Ming Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty (69 AD), under the auspices of Wang Jing, a famous water conservancy expert, he built more than 1,000 miles of canals and embankments, fixed the river in the south of the city, and the Yellow River was Anlan for more than 700 years. During this period, Puyang's economy developed rapidly, the population increased greatly, and in the first two years of Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty, Puyang's population reached 370,000, becoming one of the most densely populated areas in China at that time.

During the two Han Dynasty, Puyang had a developed economy and culture, and there were many talents, and Puyang people such as the famous minister Ji Di, the scholar Suo Lufang, and the Jingfang were all a generation of heroes. During the short period of Wang Mang's new dynasty between the two Han Dynasty, Dongjun was renamed Zhiting, and Puyang was still the place of governance.

Such an important town, although Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were friendly at that time, there were still famous generals Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, and military advisors full of favor and Boning, leading the White Tiger Army of 50,000 to guard here. This time, Chen Long wanted to attack Juancheng, seduce Xu Huang's troops to rescue Juancheng, fight a beautiful ambush battle when Cao's army rushed to cross the Yellow River, and then pursue Dao Puyang to fight a battle of annihilation, completely occupy the Puyang Yellow River waterway, and connect with Mengjin, Guandu, Chenliu and other waterways. When the time comes, it is guaranteed that Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou will not be able to sleep, and they will cooperate with the troops of Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan to destroy Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the two strongest enemies, in one fell swoop.

At that time, Liu Bei is already in the past tense, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will die again, and there will only be one Sun Ce and Sun Quan left in the world, and rapid reunification will not be a dream. With this base, Chen Long dreamed of opening up the mouth of the Yellow River, and could even transfer troops from the sea, continuously injecting the Qinglong Army into the North China Plain, and mobilizing the troops of Wancheng and Chang'an at the same time to destroy Cao Yuan, which would be just around the corner.

Of course, Chen Gong and the others did not know all of Chen Long's ideas, but Zhou Budo's plan could be described as seamless, if he controlled Yanzhou, it would be beneficial to Lu Bujun. Moreover, when the benefits were distributed, the area around Juancheng was originally the territory demanded by the Montenegrin Army, and Chen Gong and Zang Ba had no objection to this.

Chen Long beat Puyang, and the victory was unexpected, but the guard general Xu Huang and the military advisor were full of favorites, and they were by no means ordinary people. Let's talk about full of favors first, it is a famous person in Yanzhou, the word Boning, and a native of Changyi, Shanyang. In the official history, he was originally appointed as the county magistrate of Xu County under Cao Cao, in charge of the judiciary, and was known for his strict law enforcement; After being transferred to Runan Taishou, he began to participate in the military and participated in the Battle of Chibi. Later, Guan Yu besieged Fancheng, and Manzhong assisted Cao Ren in defending the city, dissuading the plan to abandon the city and flee, and successfully persevered until the reinforcements arrived. During Cao Pi's reign, Man Chong was stationed in Xinye and was responsible for the battle against Wu on the Jingzhou side. During Cao Rong's reign, Man Chong was transferred to Yangzhou to replace Cao Xiu in charge of the war against Wu on the east side, and he made many contributions. Later, due to old age, he was transferred back to the central government as a lieutenant, and died of illness a few years later, nicknamed Jinghou.

Manzhong enforced the law strictly, and when he was the county order of Xu County, Cao Hong's relatives and guests violated the law many times in Xu County, and Manzhong arrested them. Cao Hong pleaded with full favor, full pet refused to let go, Cao Hong asked Cao Cao to intercede, full pet beheaded the offender in advance before Cao Cao came, Cao Cao was not angry but happy after learning about it, and praised full favor for strict law enforcement. After the celebrity Yang Biao was imprisoned, Man Chong was in charge of interrogation, and Xun Yu and Kong Rong wrote a letter to intercede: "Only question, not torture." Ignoring the favor and interrogating as before, Xun Yu and Kong Rong were extremely angry. A few days later, Man Chong begged to see Cao Cao and said: "Torture Yang Biao did not find any evidence of guilt. If he is to be executed, evidence must be found before it can be executed. This person's name is in the sea, and if he can't find evidence and execute him, it will be a great loss to the people, so please think clearly. Cao Cao released Yang Biao on the same day, and Xun Yu and Kong Rong came to their senses, praised him for what he had done, and were very friendly to him.

At that time, Yuan Shao dominated Jizhou, and Runan County was Yuan Shao's hometown, and his protégés and guests were distributed in various counties, supporting troops and refusing to ignore Cao Cao. Cao Cao was very worried about this, and took full favor as the Taishou of Runan. Man Pet recruited 500 people, conquered more than 20 barriers, designed to trap more than 10 leaders, captured more than 20,000 people, and 2,000 private soldiers.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an after the defeat of Chibi, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng and assisted Cao Ren in defending the city. In August of the same year, due to heavy rain, the Han River overflowed, and the Yu forbidden army that came to reinforce was flooded and the whole army was annihilated, and the city wall of Fancheng also collapsed in many places due to flooding, and the army panicked. Someone persuaded Cao Ren to abandon the city and flee, and Man Chong persuaded him: "The mountains and rivers come and go quickly, I hope it won't be too long." Hearing that Guan Yu sent other generals to the south of Jia, the people were worried, and Guan Yu did not dare to attack, because he was afraid that our army would become horns behind him. If we run away now, the place south of the Hong River will not be owned by our country, so please hold on and wait. Cao Ren agreed, and Manzhong drowned his white horse, and swore an oath with the soldiers to meet the battle with a certain heart of death, and everyone regained their strength. After Xu Huang's rescue arrived, the water also dropped slightly, Cao Ren, Man Chong and Xu Huang attacked Guan Yu before and after, and Guan Yu was finally defeated.

Full of favor throughout his life, outstanding meritorious service, has been awarded the general Yangwu, Fubo general, Nanxiang Hou, Changyi Hou, Zhengdong general, Taiwei and other positions, and Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and so on are Cao Wei four dynasties old ministers. In the first three years (242 AD), Man Zhong died, and he was nicknamed Jinghou. His son Man Wei is a knight.

is full of glory for a lifetime, serving the Cao family with all his heart, and Xu Huang, another guard in Puyang, is even more incredible. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
