Chapter 978: Zhuge Liang's Strategy

"Can Lu Bu know about this road?" Cao Cao asked, if the road is known to the Bingzhou army, it will definitely set up troops and horses on the opposite side, and it will be a little difficult to raid the Bingzhou.

"This road is absolutely unknown to the state army." Yuan Shao said with confidence that he had sent people to Bingzhou several times from this road, and Bingzhou had no defense.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, in fact, he had also considered the matter of raiding and merging states before, but the road into the state was mainly Huguan in the face of the princes, and you could enter the state from Youzhou, at this time Youzhou belonged to Lu Bu, and there was a big mountain barrier between Jizhou and Bingzhou, if most of the soldiers went, once Lu Bu was aware of it, he only needed to arrange defenses in Bingzhou, which would make it difficult for the army to advance, and the situation would be very different if he sent an elite raid.

"The cavalry sent to raid the state must be elite, although most of the army of the state is gathered in Huguan, and there are soldiers in the counties and counties of the state." Cao Cao said.

For Lu Bu's methods, sometimes the princes have to admire, such as the standing soldiers and horses of the state army, which the princes can afford, mainly because the consumption of the standing army is too large, and Lu Bu dares to pay military salaries to ordinary soldiers in the army, this kind of courage is far from being comparable to the princes.

The princes basically didn't care about the lives of ordinary soldiers, even if an army was finished, as long as they were recruited again from the rule, as long as there was food and grass, they could gather a group of soldiers and horses again.

When there was no war, Cao Cao's army wanted to settle the fields, which was also to greatly alleviate the pressure on grain and grass.

"The tiger and leopard cavalry under the command of Benhou is somewhat capable, this raid on the cavalry of the state, thousands of cavalry from all sides, after entering the state, there is no need to worry about the consumption of grain and grass, it is said that the state is extremely rich after the governance of Lu Bu, a little looting, can meet the needs of the cavalry." Cao Cao said.

For Cao Cao's words, Sun Ce and Yuan Shao did not object, if this cavalry can smoothly enter the state, it will definitely be able to set off storms in the state, and the harvest must be huge, as long as the princes' coalition army can form an absolute suppression in Huguan, the state army will not dare to easily return to help, so, the state is in danger, if it can be taken by surprise Jinyang, the significance will be greater.

After agreeing on the matter of sending troops, Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Liang with a hint of appreciation, he was able to think of such a clever plan at a young age, and it would definitely be an existence that should not be underestimated in the future.

However, the biggest gain in this matter must be the princes of the three parties, and Liu Bei is only temporarily seconded.

Liu Bei stepped forward and said: "It has been a few days since Bei led his troops to come, and now that our army has begun to attack Huguan, it is useless to stay in the army." ”

Cao Cao said: "Xuande came all the way, but it was hard, and he even repelled Lu Bu and rewarded a hundred horses. ”

When the generals in the army heard this, they looked at Cao Cao with a hint of admiration, meritorious service will be rewarded, there is a world of difference between what he says verbally and what he can really do, when Yuan Shao became the leader of the princes' alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo, he also said such words, but when it came to rewarding meritorious deeds, he was not so generous.

A hundred war horses are worth a lot of money, and they are nothing compared to making the generals in the army respect, and Cao Cao can see it relatively clearly at this point.

Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "The lieutenant general of the Beidai Army thanked the alliance leader. ”

The 3,000 cavalry of the princes' coalition army rushed to Jizhou overnight, and Hanoi was the territory of the princes at this time, and the lack of 3,000 cavalry in the princes' army was not something that the Bingzhou army could detect in a short time.

Let's say that the Jingzhou army arrived outside the Jiguan, Cai Mao ordered Wen Ping to lead 2,000 cavalry to fight outside the Jiguan, the 60,000 Jingzhou army was densely packed, and the tents built stretched for dozens of miles.

Wen Ping is a few fierce generals in the Jingzhou army, and his marksmanship is extremely exquisite, although his status in the army is not as good as Cai Mao and Liu Pan, but he is deeply relied on by Liu Biao.

Wen Ping did not have the slightest good impression of the Bingzhou Army, just like the Yanzhou Army, Lu Bu was embarrassed by Liu Qi outside Xiangyang City, Jingzhou had to give in, you must know that Liu Qi was the prince at that time, even if he was not valued by Liu Biao, it also represented the face of the Han Dynasty, and Bingzhou actually used a thunderbolt car to make a deal with Jingzhou, which was even more difficult for the imperial court envoys.

The news of the Jingzhou army's battle soon spread to the Bingzhou army.

Wei Yan said: "I am willing to go to my humble position, cut off the head of Wenpin, and dedicate it to the general." ”

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "With the bravery of General Wei, it must be okay to kill Wen Ping, but after arriving at the battlefield, you must not be careless." ”

In terms of warfare, the state army has never shown weakness, even if it is facing the soldiers and horses of the imperial court this time, it is nothing in their eyes, and the state army only knows Lu Bu, but does not know the emperor, and the state army has nothing to do with the Han family whether it is grain and grass or military salary.

After the soldiers entered the army, they were instilled with the idea of loyalty to Lu Bu.

Wei Yan was followed into battle by a thousand flying cavalry, which was the strongest cavalry force left in the Chang'an area by the Bingzhou army.

The door slowly opened, and a thousand flying horsemen rushed out, forming a formation at a very fast speed.

Seeing the Flying Eagle Banner, Wen Ping's eyes tightened, and the Bingzhou Flying Cavalry had already been famous all over the world, and it was one of the first cavalry teams to follow Lu Bu to fight, and each cavalry had good strength.

"Wenpin Xiaoer, this will be Wei Yan is also in the state." Wei Yan shouted: "Don't come and die quickly." ”

Wen Ping said coldly: "It's just a traitor seeking glory, why worry about it, see how General Ben kills you." ”

Wei Yan's face was cold, he switched from the Jingzhou army to join the state, and he did bear a lot of pressure in terms of reputation, this era pays attention to starting from the beginning, even if Wei Yan is not ambitious in the Jingzhou army, he still has to follow this rule.

"Dare to speak in front of this general." Wei Yan shouted angrily and rode his horse to kill Wen Ping.

Defecting to the Bingzhou Army, Wei Yan never regretted it, he found his value in the Bingzhou Army, which is the most important thing for a general, Wei Yan is not from a big family, how difficult it is to stand out in the Jingzhou Army, otherwise Huang Zhong's ability will not be as simple as a partial general in Changsha City.

Wen Ping's marksmanship is proficient, and he has never encountered an opponent in the Jingzhou army, while Wei Yan's knife skills are exquisite, coupled with the fact that he has repeatedly rushed to the battlefield after entering the Bingzhou army, his knife skills have been greatly improved.

The two fought, and in a blink of an eye, Wei Yan's heart sank, if it continued to develop like this, it would be extremely difficult to kill Wen Ping, but he boasted in front of Zhao Yun.
