There was no time to meet Guan Yu, and there was no time to meet Liu Bei.

The return journey was 200 miles, with one stop along the way, and more than 50 horsemen waited on standby, alternately escorting Tianxin back to the Beifu military position at high speed.

Tian Xin constantly changed horses along the way, marching at the speed of cavalry galloping, which was second only to the speed of the charge.

In Ye County, Guan Yu took a nap at night, woke up from a nightmare, his eyes were round, and he asked Wang Fu, who was on duty at night: "I saw Pang De in my dream, if it wasn't for filial piety and Dingguo to save me, I would have been captured by Pang De." I still remember Pound scolding...... What are the signs? ”

Wang Fu brought warm water for Guan Yu and said in a deep voice: "Seeing the deceased in a dream is a good omen." ”

As an experience of the Battle of Xiangfan and one of the battle planners, Wang Fu slowly said: "Song Gong respects Pang Lingming, and now our army is about to win a big victory, and I regret Pang Lingming, so I have this dream." ”

Guan Yu raised his hand to stroke his beard, his beard was even more thin, and after drinking water, he pondered, and slightly bowed his head in agreement with this explanation, indeed feeling sorry for Pound.

Now that the Northern Expedition is about to succeed, Pound's regret is even deeper.

"What time is it?"

"The morning is not drumming, about three or six o'clock."

Wang Fu tightened his cuffs when he answered, and walked out of the city tower to look, he couldn't help frowning, and he could vaguely see that there was a hazy feeling of fire everywhere in the city, as if shrouded in a faint layer of white gauze, which was a sign of fog.

He returned to the city tower and looked restrained: "Song Gong, today may be a thick morning fog, so you must be on guard." ”

Cao Zhen's main formation, soon here was also reported by various places on the front line of the fog military situation, morning fog is a normal phenomenon, the thickness of the fog often changes.

He looked in the direction of Yaoshan Mountain, where the beacon signal had gradually blurred.

Cao Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief and sent someone to summon Sima Yi: "Zhongda, the former general may have been martyred, and tomorrow, if you don't see the wolf smoke of Yaoshan, there will be an uproar in the army." ”

Sima Yi warmed his hands with tea, his eyebrows solemn: "Does Big Sima have a good plan?" ”

Now send elite troops to set fire to the east and west bridges of Junshui, and the only thing that the Han army can launch a pursuit is the nearly 10,000 defenders of Luyang Sanguan. This part of the Han army must have participated in the night attack on Zhang Liao, and it was bound to be tired, and it was difficult to launch a strong pursuit and blockade.

Therefore, if the bridge is burned, the vast majority of the army can still be brought back to Yique Pass, but a large number of equipment and baggage can only be abandoned.

Cao Zhen weighed left and right...... It is not terrible to discard the baggage and equipment, but the terrible thing is that the officials from the Central Plains rebelled, and at that time, the landslide and tsunami came together, and the eight passes of Luoyang could not be stopped.

I don't understand why the middle line and the eastern front are in a mess, not only the Han army is out of Wankou, but the Wu army also dares to go boating.

I really can't understand how the situation in the Central Plains has deteriorated step by step to this point.

Therefore, the army cannot be withdrawn, and once it retreats, it is bound to collapse from the bottom up, from the inside, and the Han army will be cheap.

Cao Zhen looked at the slowly rolling mist outside the curtain again: "Zhongda and the Han army have gained a lot in the night battle, if the morning fog condenses but does not disperse, will our army have a chance to break through the water?" ”

It was not difficult to break through the water, and the Han army did not have the strength to maintain a complete defense line of the water.

What he meant was to ask if he could break through the defense line of the water before the fog cleared, and divide and surround the two Han armies defending the bridge, Zhang Fei and Yu Fan.

With a military superiority of seven or eight times, as long as the defense line is broken through and the whole army advances, it is enough to divide and besiege these two battalions on the one hand, and other armies will launch an attack and harass on Yexian and Liu Bei's camp.

The entire Wankou battlefield is intertwined and mixed with each other, as long as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are defeated, the morale of the Wei army will be greatly restored and improved.

Cao Zhen asked, Sima Yi couldn't help but think of the night attack on Wu Yi that night, and the expression on his face became more serious.

The morale of the Han army was too high, and after Wu Yi died in battle, he fought back and took Wu Yi's body.

However, the darkness and fog have a shielding effect, and if you attack in several ways, one road will suffer heavy losses, and it will not affect the offensive order of several other armies in a short time.

"Da Sima, our army is at its peak, and it is easy to break through the water, but it is difficult in Kunyang and Yexian."

Sima Yi spoke earnestly and did not make reservations: "After forcibly crossing the water, our army has nowhere to set up camp, and if we can't break the Han army's pivot, we are in danger of destruction." ”

"Yes, the only way to do this is to break the boat."

Cao Zhen asked: "I want to go all out and leave no way out, what does Zhong Da think?" ”

Sima Yi is the Zhongcheng of the Imperial History who is fully responsible for the work of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and his boss Wang Lang is an ornament and a superintendent, and the supervisors of each army are mostly controlled by Sima Yi.

Such a big and resolute offensive must be approved by Sima Yi before Cao Zhen can launch it.

As for asking Cao Pi...... It's too late.

The Han army was too sinister, but at this critical juncture, the Wei army, which surrounded and killed Zhang Liao, and was ready to cross the river and attack, had no way to retreat.

Either break through the Han army's defense line, or collapse again and again, and the army's fighting spirit was completely crushed by the Han army.

It was a devastating battle, and there were no reserves.

In order to ensure the efficiency of the attack, all the military forces that can be mobilized will be invested, and reserves cannot be reserved.

In this kind of race against time, the reserves that press the formation are useless.

Once defeated, the reserves cannot contain the defeated soldiers and block the pursuing enemy, so the reserves are useless now.

Even if there is a reserve, it is a reserve and a supervising team that drives the army across the river to participate in the war; Such a reserve was to supervise the war, and could not transport timber behind the army, without which it was impossible to build new fortifications on the south bank.

As for the detachment of 10,000 or 20,000 men to demolish the camps on the north bank and camp on the south bank...... There is no need, if it does not achieve outstanding results, this camp, like the reserves, will not be of any use.

Now it is necessary to pursue the ultimate attack intensity, like a flash flood erupting, drowning the Han army in one fell swoop.

Flash floods are the embodiment of extreme numerical superiority, and they are also very simple, except to move forward or advance. If forces were to be split to dismantle the camp on the north bank and re-camp on the south bank, this would complicate the command of the general attack.

At this moment, there is no room for complexity and redundancy, and the simplest and purest attack must be pursued, the simpler and more direct the more efficient!

There can be no hesitation, there can be no slightest retention, all the strength should be invested, as long as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei is killed, the morale of the Wankou Han army will drop greatly, and the morale of the Wei army will usher in a peak.

Prepare for feathers to fly, but lack of fields.

The words of prophecy discussed and deduced by the scholars made the people of the north panic, and if anyone was defeated, the invincible destiny of the Han army would be shattered.

After Sima Yi agreed, Cao Zhen said again: "There is no way out for Great Wei, and I also ask Zhongda to send orders to Boren and Wenlie to attack together." ”

His request made Sima Yi frown, and he bowed his hand: "Great Sima, the Marquis of Changping holds the seal of the general, and it is not our army that can dispatch it; Your Majesty's use of Jia Liangdao as the general of the southern army is not something I can control. ”

Cao Zhen's cheeks twitched, and he also frowned: "Don't embarrass Zhongda, I will write an order with Zhongda, and ask Wenlie and Boren to send troops to attack the Beifu soldiers, and not make them reinforce Wankou." ”

The Wankou battlefield has reached the last moment of desperate fighting with each other, if the Beifu soldiers enter from the flank, even if they can win, they will win first and then lose...... This is to be avoided.

Cao Xiu is the little brother who grew up playing when he was a teenager, and Xiahou Shang is his brother-in-law, at this moment, his big Sima should be able to mobilize these two people.

The entire Wei army should operate around one goal, and can no longer be divided, and only by forming a group can it fight to the death with the Han army.

There were too many mistakes in the previous strategy of dividing troops and holding them, which gave the Han army the opportunity to break through one by one, and in order to avoid being broken by the Han army one by one, there were a series of actions to avoid the battle and slack off the war.

300,000 Wei troops, must act in unison!
