Chapter 309: Broken Circuit
Cao Cao was surprised by the bravery shown by Zhang Jaw, a young general of the Yan clan, and he was also surprised when he looked at the battle report from the evolution of Handan City.
The direction of Jingzhou is the fastest in several wars launched by Zhao in the four years of Xinghe, the messenger can transmit the war report back to Handan, Xiangyang is not far from Handan, Tanma can enter Nanyang in one day from Xiangyang, and can enter the territory of Sizhou in two days from Nanyang all the way to the south, and then run north for one day, take a boat at the ferry for two hours to Hanoi, and the fast horse can knock on the door of the palace of King Zhao all the way that night.
The battle report on Zhang Jaw's side was reported quickly, and the interesting thing was that Zhang Liaobu's war report, which was not far from Zhang Jaw, could not be delivered five days later, after all, the official road over there had to pass through Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and the terrain was mountainous, but it was much slower.
Therefore, for several days, the battle reports that Yanbei saw were jumping up and down like a monkey with open jaws, constantly smashing the Cao defenders of Zhijiang City with wild fruits on the trees, and were shot in the ankle by a stray arrow in the city during a siege battle, and stopped.
Although his courage is commendable, it is really funny to always watch him return again and again in vain.
One day in early October, Yanbei put down the Jingzhou battle report, and moved his neck to tell Tian Feng a joke: "Actually, Zhang Junyi used to be a Confucian future. ”
Tian Feng was dumbfounded, he didn't join Yanbei until the Yan clan took the entire territory of Jizhou, and when he knew Zhang Jaw, Zhang Junyi was already like this, Tian Feng really didn't know what Zhang Jaw did before. It's not that Tian Feng doesn't care about the Yan generals, he is already concerned enough, but those years were the period of the Yan family's crazy expansion.
The official position of the school captain is not small, but the Yan family has really not seen enough in those years...... The generals at the rank of captain of the Yan clan who declared war everywhere died almost every year, and Tian Feng was more concerned about those generals.
Not to mention that Zhang Jaw has always been stationed in the area of Hanoi and Wei County, and has never led the army to fight.
When he has the opportunity to lead the army to fight, he will inevitably compete for the first place in every battle, and it is really difficult to see what strategy to use if he loses and wins. After all, there are warriors like Zhang Liao who fight like a tiger leaping into a stream on the Jing and Yu battlefields, who cares about Zhang Jaw's little strategy?
Yan Bei pursed his lips, shook his head slowly, and said strangely: "How did this kid become like this?" ”
Zhang Jaw is indeed a Confucian general in Yanbei's heart, and he has always regarded Zhang Jaw as a Confucian general, thinking of this, he can't help but say: "Until now, Gu still remembers the first time he summoned Zhang Junyi in the military tent, when 20,000 troops went out of the desert to go around Xianbei to Liaodong, and destroyed many Xianbei tribes along the way. It is difficult for a person like him who loves to make ghost ideas to get ahead under the subordinates of Koyi. ”
"This kid is the most cunning if he doesn't leave his hands, he has a good cavalry, and he rarely leads the crowd to charge in person. Even if he is rushing, he will also be in his own army. Yan Bei laughed heartily as he pointed to the battle report, "The old brother in the early years of Lonely, I was all a vulgar horseman, I couldn't continue when I was young, and I made a living licking blood from the knife edge, and my lowly status could only carry a knife to fight with others, so I was really helpless." Later, with great power, you see who is still in battle! Zhang Junyi came from a good background, and acted wisely and strategically in his early years, and I don't know when he turned around, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he likes to charge into battle, which doesn't make the defenders of Zhijiang hurt their feet, hahaha! ”
Yan Bei was really right, he knew Zhang Jaw, and when Zhang Junyi was young, he really regarded these generals who were the leaders but went into battle as reckless men...... However, Zhang Jaw himself may not be able to tell when it started, and his mentality is different.
Maybe it was fighting against Zhang Fei in the early years, in the past, Zhang Jaw was full of ridicule for others, "Hmph, this group of reckless people." ”
Suddenly, one day I had a hard fight with Zhang Sanhei, and after realizing it, I suddenly felt in my heart, "Wow, the reckless man is so cool!" ”
Then it became more and more reckless, and every time there was a war, it would be reckless.
The way of evolution is also weird enough.
In any case, Zhang Jaw showed his reckless nature, although he failed to achieve what he hoped for - to capture the Zhijiang River and hold the mouth of the river, but according to the battle report sent by Zhang Liao, the unified information was enough to make many outstanding staff members of the Zhao Palace see something.
"Great King, the Cao clan as a whole is guarding dangerous places, and there are already four counties of land south of its battle line." Tian Feng said this, raised a finger and said, "This is the first time that the Cao clan has recovered to such a force in the years since the defeat of Yanzhou, and it has to be guarded against. ”
To be honest, if Tian Feng didn't say it, Yan Bei really didn't notice that Cao Cao was fighting against the Yan clan on the one hand, but he had secretly spread a big stall. In addition to Xiangyang and Yicheng counties, Nanjun is in the hands of Cao Cao, which is the richest place in Jingzhou; The first line of Wuling and Changsha has mountainous areas and natural dangers, water and rivers, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not to mention that to the south of Changsha, there are Lingling County bordering Jiaozhou and Guiyang County bordering Yangzhou.
Of course, Tian Feng was talking about four counties, this is because he did not count Lingling County, which borders Jiaozhou, and only Guiyang. After all, the son of the Jiaozhou Shijia is still in Handan, and Shixie and them have their own reasons for attacking and defending each other, if Cao Cao wants to move forward in Lingling County, he can easily push himself from the dilemma of being attacked from both sides into the deep pit surrounded on all sides, and at that time, it will be called every day and the earth should not be called ineffective.
Yan Bei didn't think about it over there, he still didn't know the news that Shi Xie had sent troops to attack Liu Bei in the northwest of Jiaozhou, so he put his hand on the two places of Yutu Nanjun and Guiyang, and asked: "Liu Xuande of Yizhou, Sun Bofu of Yangzhou, you think, who does the Doctor of the Five Classics want to join forces with?" ”
Is it Yizhou Liu Bei? Or Yangzhou Sun Ce?
Yan Bei didn't believe that Cao Cao would fight with him on the territory of the four counties, he weighed his two palms, but none of the staff dared to answer this kind of question on their own. Even if you don't guess correctly, there is still room for maneuver, but these two counties, if they guess wrong, they can only take the blame on themselves in the future.
This kind of pit, how can the strategists of each person jump?
However, Yan Bei didn't intend to wait for them to answer, he withdrew his right hand, patted his left hand lightly twice in Nanjun, and simply said: "There are mountains and rivers that are dangerous, and Guiyang can't beat it." The herald informed Zhang Junyi that Cao's army was retreating to the south, and taught him to clear the southern county first, and cut off the road between Cao Cao and Yizhou! ”
