Cao Pi sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, Jiang Ji had just offered him a plan to deal with Zhang Ren, as a breakthrough to recapture Longyou, but he didn't want to just give the order to send troops, and the news of Zhang Ren's withdrawal came.

Even if he continued to act according to Jiang Ji's strategy, when the soldiers and horses were assembled, Zhang Ren was afraid that he would have returned to Hanzhong, and even if all the 60,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were killed in Hanzhong. But as long as Zhang Ren held the mouth of Keigu, plus the 10,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Hanzhong, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses were waiting for work, the 60,000 Wei army could not pose any threat to Hanzhong at all.

Liu Chan will not send troops to save Hanzhong because of this, even if he sends troops, one or two hundred thousand people will reach the sky, so the Han army's strength in Longyou is still strong, and it is difficult to recapture Longyou!

With Zhang Ren's retreat, Jiang Ji's strategy failed, and what the Wei side could think of, the Han army also thought of it.

Cao Pi couldn't help but feel that things were a little tricky, but Cao Pi knew that he couldn't delay at the moment, and he had to send troops to recapture Longyou as soon as possible.

Because once it is delayed for a long time, Liu Chan will go to pacify Liangzhou, and then Liangzhou will be certain, Liu Chan will sit firmly in Yongliang, and there will be no Liangzhou soldiers and horses to threaten Longxi, Liu Chan will have no worries, and it will be even more difficult to recapture the land of Longyou at that time.

"Your Majesty......" Cao Zhen opened his mouth to say something, now that Zhang Ren has retired from the army, can he still fight Hanzhong?

After a long time, Cao Pi said coldly: "The plan to attack Hanzhong has been canceled, and then the state is merged, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou are still mobilized, Cao Zhen, you still go to rectify the soldiers and horses, I will drive the street pavilion this time!" ”

Jiang Ji was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, right now Liu Chan's reinforcements have arrived at the street pavilion, Zhang Ren has returned to Hanzhong, and he can threaten Guanzhong at any time, His Majesty can only lead 50,000 troops over, the enemy and us have almost the same strength, so if you want to recapture the street pavilion, you are afraid of ......"

Cao Pi said in a deep voice: "I naturally know that it is difficult to recapture the street pavilion, but how difficult it is for the first emperor to expand the territory, the first emperor passed the foundation to my hands, I will never allow it to be lost, no matter how difficult it is, I will take it back."

If I ignore it, or wait for the reinforcements to arrive before sending troops, Liu Chan will definitely pacify Liangzhou first, and then Liu Chan will have no worries, and it will be even more difficult for me to recapture Longyou.

Now that I have sent troops first and dragged Liu Chan's soldiers and horses, Liu Chan will not be able to take Liangzhou, and when the reinforcements arrive, my forces will have the advantage, and it will be much easier to attack and attack from east to west. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Jiang Ji listened to Cao Pi's words and nodded, this is indeed the only way at present.

Cao Pi said again: "By the way, Zidan, you send a letter to Xiahou again to say that he will borrow troops from the countries of the Western Regions, and this time he must recapture Longyou, cough cough ......." ”

Cao Zhen saw that Cao Pi was unwell, and said with a worried face: "Your Majesty doesn't need to go in person, just let the last general be willing to recapture Longyou for Your Majesty." ”

Cao Pi waved his hand: "Liu Chan is just a young man, and he still dares to drive the expedition in person, I am nearly forty years old, is it not as good as him?" Now that Longyou is in danger, I must drive the expedition in person! You are waiting for Hugh to be persuaded, I have made up my mind, so let's get ready to go! ”

"No!"

During the time Cao Pi arrived in Chang'an, he had been busy arranging the grain and grass of the soldiers, horses, and horses, so he did not have to spend more time preparing.

Three days later, Cao Pi led an army of 50,000 to conquer the street pavilion, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the pass.

After more than ten days, Cao Pi arrived at Huating.

Zhang Hebing was defeated and died, Sima Yi joined the army, abandoned the main general and fled, his crime could not escape, but Cao Pinian spared his life when it was the time to employ people, demoted Sima Yi to a clerk, served in front of the army, and made meritorious contributions.

After the army converged with Sima Yi, they marched from Huating to Longshan Road and marched in the direction of Jieting.

When Cao Pi led his troops to arrive at Jieting, Jieting City had already started construction for more than 20 days.

The street pavilion Han military camp is in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wang Ping reported to Liu Chanyu: "Your Majesty, the scouts have found out that Cao Pi has arrived twenty miles in front of our military camp, and is now encamping, with more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"No, you don't!" Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Although Cao Pi is in charge of the expedition, there are only 50,000 people, and we have 30,000 people to defend the camp, and we are not afraid of him Cao Pi."

I guess Cao Pi should have ordered reinforcements to be mobilized from other places at this moment, Cao Pi arrived first, because he was afraid that we would divide our troops to deal with Liangzhou, so he came over and dragged us first, and then waited for the reinforcements to arrive, and then attacked, when Liangzhou and here launched a counterattack at the same time, and the situation was tilted in favor of Cao Pi.

Cao Pi should now let the soldiers build the return artillery, sharpen their weapons first, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive to use the return cannon to deal with us.

Therefore, the construction of Jieting City cannot be left behind, once it falls, Cao Pi's reinforcements arrive, we can only use inferior troops to defend the camp, even if we can hold it, we have to suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, we can only take advantage of the time when Cao Pi is waiting for reinforcements, and send more people to build the city, and when Cao Pi's reinforcements arrive, the city will be built. ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, Cao Pi's troops are insufficient, and he doesn't dare to attack us, the city is behind, and Cao Pi doesn't know the situation of the troops in our camp." Just let the soldiers practice, make enough momentum, and be heavily guarded, Cao Pi will not dare to act rashly, let's wait for the city to be built, and lead the troops into the city! ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Just do what the military advisor instructs, practice every day, and make enough noise!" ”

"No!" The generals will take the command.

Early the next morning, the Han army left the camp early and practiced under the leadership of Deng Ai and other generals.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Cao Pi woke up in a burst of noise, and when he heard the morale of the rainbow shouting and killing, Cao Pi was shocked, and quickly sat up from the bed and shouted: "Someone! ”

"What does Your Majesty command?" Xu Chu heard the words and walked into the account.

Cao Pi hurriedly asked: "Huhou, where did the shouting and killing sound come from, could it be that the Shu army came to attack?" ”

Xu Chu replied: "According to the scout's report, the Han army is drilling, and the shouting of killing is from the Han army's drill. ”

"That's good!" Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and ordered: "Summoning the generals to discuss the affairs of the Chinese army!" ”

"No!"

After a while, all the generals came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Cao Pi said to the generals: "Last time, I sent Zhang He to attack the street pavilion, and the whole army was wiped out, but Zhang He was originally going to take the street pavilion, but despite this, before the ambush, our army also lost half of the soldiers and horses in order to attack the Shu army camp.

The street pavilion is easy to attack and difficult to defend, the reason why our army has so many casualties is because Deng Ai sent people to build a return artillery, and now our army reinforcements have not arrived, so we should be fully prepared first, and if we want to do a good job, we must first sharpen our weapons.

Sima Yi, I ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to build a return cannon, collect stones, and make up for your achievements! ”

Sima Yi gave up his hand and took the order: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”
