Chapter 901: Breaking Its Horns

Zhang Lu killed Yang Xiu, the defender of Micang Mountain, and preached the words of defending Hanzhong City with the people of the city, I have to say that the cohesion of religion is still extremely strong, Zhang Gongqi's reputation among the people of Hanzhong is not much worse than that of Liu Yi and Yandi, the king of Yan, the difference between the two is the strength of the force to maintain their rule, if the combat power of the Hanzhong army can also be the same as the Yan army, I am afraid that Liu Yi and Cao Cao will not dare to act rashly against this place, and the force to deter the other party in the troubled times is the foundation of the foothold!

Micang Mountain was attacked by Cao Hong, the reason for this is that in addition to the good fighting and fearlessness of Cao Jun's soldiers, Yang Xiu's incompetence is very important, just after Cao Cao's army forced Zhang Hu to retreat from Yinxian County, Xiahou Deng's attack on Dingjun Mountain still made little progress, and the combat power of the Yuan let the department still be above Cao Hong, and the danger here may not be able to pass the former, because of the difference between the guards, Yang Huai is the confidant who came to Hanzhong with Zhang Lu when he was begging for thieves, and naturally he went all out to fight against Cao Jun. This is also the reason why Yang Xiu was speechless before he was beheaded, and he was sentenced by comparison!

After marching into Yinxian County, Cao Cao judged the situation, and recruited Xiahou Dan's army to suspend the offensive on Dingjun Mountain and come here to discuss the strategy of attacking Hanzhong City, and another road served as a vigilance for the Hanzhong Army on the mountain, in terms of the current situation, as long as the gains and losses of Hanzhong City broke Dingjun Mountain have nothing to do with the overall situation, and the danger of attacking here will be heavy, but if Yang Huai dares to come down the mountain to respond, Cao Jun and his strategists will naturally have the means to let him come and go, and there is also the intention of luring the snake out of the hole!

Coincidentally, the mansion where Zhang Hu and Zhang Xiu used it as a field command post on that day became the place where Cao Jun's tent was located, and a huge map of Hanzhong City was hung high in the hall, and there was also a very well-made sand table from time to time. In his heart, Cao Mengde was unwilling to give Zhang Hu more time to breathe, but now under the continuous battle in Hanzhong, although it is approaching, the fatigue of the soldiers is gradually increasing, Hanzhong City has been operated by Zhang Lu for many years, the city is high and the ditch is deep, plus the Yan army Zhang Wenyuan and his good guard, it is difficult to overcome it if he is not fully prepared and rested, when to be anxious and when to slow down, Cao Cao will naturally have a thorough measurement in his heart.

"Lord, the first battle of Qingzhou is extremely dangerous for our army, the Yan army has improved the combat effectiveness of the whole army after Liu Langsheng for two years, this person is worthy of being a good man in governing the army, but the Qingzhou battalion under the unity of our army is united and retreated, and now the eldest prince and General Miaocai are sitting in Chen Liu's command of the overall situation, plus Yu, Le and other generals work together, even if Liu Yi personally leads the army and wants to capture Yanzhou, it is not easy, the lord should go all out with the present!" Looking at the terrain of Hanzhong, Xun Wenruo's mouth is the Qingzhou War, the two are thousands of miles apart but are also inseparable strategic whole, this battle in Wenze Qingzhou Battalion suffered heavy losses, but in terms of strategy, the Cao army achieved its goal.

"Wen Ruo's words are yes, and in terms of military affairs, Lang Sheng is indeed a rare talent, but from the gains and losses of Jia Mengguan, you can roughly infer the strategy of filial piety, and surround and annihilate Wen Ze's Qingzhou battalion, he has a big appetite! But letting him come and go like the wind is also a step slower, and now that Cao is holding his hand first, he has to compete with him to see which offensive is stronger! Zhongde, I heard that General Wenqian was injured in this battle, and his injuries should be transmitted to me at any time. Cao Cao bowed slightly, Qingzhou is in the midst of the siege of the enemy, it is a place of chicken ribs, since he decided to give up he will not have the slightest hesitation, now he and Liu Yi are in a competition again, Lang Sheng is aiming at the whole territory of Yanzhou, and he wants to take the Hanzhong City in front of him, speed has become the key!

Whoever wins this battle first will undoubtedly be able to grasp the initiative of the entire battle, but Liu Cao and the others are both knowledgeable soldiers, and the truth that if you want to hurry, you will not know the truth, and the more critical the moment, the performance of both sides is calm and successful! From the analysis of the current situation, Hanzhong is indistinguishable from Yanzhou, and the comparison of the forces of the two sides is also roughly corresponding, but it is obvious that Cao's army has an advantage in Hanzhong that is better than Liu Yizhi and Yanzhou. At this time, the detailed battle report of the first battle of Qingzhou has already arrived in the hands of everyone, Le Wenqian and his Chen Liuying performance in this war is remarkable, played a vital role, to his own appreciation of this love general, Meng Dedang to show great concern, that day Le Jin for the three armies after the break of life and death, the body of several wounds, fortunately Xu Chu Cao Zhang arrived in time to save his life.

"The lord rest assured, General Le has been treated by a famous doctor at this time, and it is reported that the eldest prince personally extended the doctor and delivered medicine in front of his bed, which can show the lord's heart." Cheng Yu replied when he heard this, and he didn't forget to mention how the eldest prince Cao Ang treated Le Jin, which was quite praised.

In this life, due to the arrival of Liu Yi to change the course of history, Cao Cao did not suffer the defeat of Wancheng, and neither the evil Dian Wei nor his eldest son Cao Ang died on the battlefield as in another time and space. Whether in the army or among officials, the eldest prince has great support, and Cheng Yu is one of them! However, the second son Cao Pi and the fourth son Cao Zhi also have a great reputation, Cao Zijian is still young at this time, but Cao Zihuan is also appreciated by many generals in the army, and the Xiahou brothers bear the brunt.

For a male lord like Liu Yi and Cao Cao, it is almost inevitable that the sons will fight for power, which is commonplace in the late Han Dynasty, from Yuan Shao to Liu Biao, and then to Cao Cao and Sun Quan, every transfer of power will be full of blood and swords! Brotherly love, the righteousness of father and son will be extremely fragile in the face of the supreme power! In this regard, Liu Bei has the least choice, but there are also a lot less worries, but the later lord Liu Chan obviously did not inherit his father's talent in leading the country and dominating the world, and in the end, he could only end up happy!

The succession of the eldest son to the throne at the end of the Han Dynasty is naturally the trend of the times, and the results brought about by the abolition of the elder and the young are often disastrous, and Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng are obviously negative teaching materials! However, if there are many talented people among the heirs or the eldest son is not able to be cultivated, then the uncertain factors in the change of power will increase significantly, it can be said that the history of China for thousands of years is a history book of struggle for power and profit, and the struggle for succession is also a life-and-death struggle between vested interest groups and emerging interest groups.

On the basis of the handling of this matter, Liu Yi and Cao Cao coincided, and vigorously supported and cultivated the eldest son in the case of his cultivation, and established his authority among his brothers, Lang Sheng has established Liu Huan as the prince and increased his prestige among the people and officials by a series of means such as appeasing Si Li and the Western Regions Mission, and Cao Cao was not in Yanqing, when the eldest son Cao Ang could also act on behalf of the right to assassinate the history, of course, at this time the war began, and Xiahou Yuan still took on the important role in the war. Cao Ang also learned a lot of lessons from his help.

The direct consequence of the struggle for power is internal friction, and Cao Cao and Liu Yi at this time are not too concerned, these two have established absolute authority through years of accumulation, as long as they are in the stable situation, these actions are just to take precautions, relatively speaking, Liu Yi thinks about it for a longer time, he has seen too much in the history of the generation is not as good as the generation, but how to completely solve it has never been a proper way, and now Lang Sheng can only take into account the main aspects, it is really difficult to take into account the situation, There is only that sentence, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!

"Lord, although Zhang Luqi in Hanzhong is a lack of military strategy to govern but quite long, and is also the lord of a religion that is right, the people are very attached, now Hanzhong is strong, and there is the Yan army general Zhang Wenyuan to guard, want to try to divide our army to make it difficult to work together, otherwise blindly attacking is not the right way, but the man-made rumors and the city, it is said that Liu Langsheng has ordered Zhang Zicai to retreat to Yongliang's words......" For Cheng Yu's words, although Cao Cao did not have too many expressions, but there was also joy in his eyes, which shows that he is still quite satisfied with his eldest son, On the side, Fa Zheng stared at the sand table for a long time, and said at this time, and pulled everyone's thoughts from the battle of Qingzhou back to Hanzhong in front of them!

For Cao Cao to plan the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole to successfully take the Jia Meng Pass, and made a strange plot to attack Hanzhong, Fa Zheng's talent was fully revealed, and he was appreciated by Cao Cao and a lot of advisers, and now he is full of confidence in his speech, and he has obviously gained a firm foothold in Cao Ying!

"Filial piety is feasible, Zhongde, immediately start arranging, Wen Ruo, this Hanzhong City is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, can there be a clever plan to break it?" Hearing Fa Zheng's words, Cao Cao showed an appreciative look after a little thought, it is not easy to create an obstacle between him and Zhang Lu with Zhang Hu's skills, it is indeed a good plan to grasp the key to the Yan army's defense and withdrawal, just as the Yan army's intelligence organization Tian'er is in the hands of Guo Jia, Cao Jun's secret arrow is led by Cheng Yu, and Cheng Zhongde, a key place like Hanzhong City, will never give up infiltration! And asking questions and Xun Yu can be regarded as Cao Cao's practice for many years, and it seems that this Yingchuan celebrity has never disappointed him!

"There is a Yan army in Han, Zhang Hu and Zhang Liao, there is no other way to give up the strong attack, the plan of filial piety can be complemented by the method of attacking the city, I look at Liu Langsheng's defense of the city with more soldiers like to occupy the corner, the intention is to make it difficult for the attacker to try his best to be between the city, Xuzhou was the case, the battle of Sili is also the same, today there are nearly 30,000 iron cavalry of Ma Chao's Sizhou battalion outside the city of Hanzhong, if you want to conquer Hanzhong, you must first try to reduce this horn, otherwise it is difficult for our army to try its best with this!" Xun Yu heard that he pointed to the four sides of Hanzhong City in the sand table, and it could be seen that he had spent a lot of effort to study the tactics of the Yan army, and he had indeed grasped the characteristics of the Yan army's defense of the city!

"Good, pass the order, the whole army will go to Hanzhong City after three days of rest, and Cao will go to Ma Chao's Sizhou camp in the first battle to break the horns of the Yan army!" Xun Yu's strategy can be said to be in Cao Cao's arms, and his research on Liu Yi and Yan Jun has never relaxed.
