Chapter 564: Shu Han's Strategic Goals
"Open the gates! Open the gates! Han Dang shouted at the top of his voice.
Tai Shi Ci didn't intend to let Ding Feng go, and urged the war horse to hurry behind with an iron halberd, and roared loudly in his mouth, just like a lion.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them ran to the city gate, and the two horses were only a dozen steps apart, Han Dang frowned, and immediately ordered: "Release the arrow!" Hurry up and release the arrows! ”
The archers on the city wall who were in a daze hurriedly bent their bows and arrows, and then a rain of arrows covered Tai Shici's head and face and flew away, with a locust-like whistling sound.
Tai Shi Ci hurriedly reined in the war horse, roared, and the blade in his hand turned sharply like a windmill, and with a crackling sound, he saw that the raindrop-like arrows were turning and splashing in the shadow of the gun.
Tai Shi Cige blocked the arrows flying towards him, and when he looked ahead, Ding Feng's back happened to be in the city gate, and then the city gate slammed shut.
Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but curse in annoyance, then turned his horse's head and retreated dozens of steps away, and shouted loudly towards the city gate: "Old horseman, that's the end of today!" I'm going to play with you again tomorrow! ”
Tai Shici's tone didn't take Han Dang seriously at all, Han Dang was annoyed, but he was helpless.
Tai Shi Ci turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of the camp, raising up dust, Han Dang looked at Tai Shi Ci's back and clenched his fists with a look of hatred.
Ding Feng climbed the city gate tower, clenched his fists with a guilty face, and said: "General, the last general is incompetent!" ”
Han Dang hurriedly helped Wei Yan up and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, general!" The general has done his best! That Tai Shi Ci is a well-known fierce general under Cao Cao's account, and the general can compete with him for more than ten rounds, which is really commendable! How many people can be like the general? ”
Ding Feng smiled bitterly: "How dare a general of the defeated army be so praised as a general!" ”
Han Dang personally patted Ding Feng's palm. His eyes couldn't help but see the wound on Ding Feng's left chest, where the armor had been broken. There was also blood spilling, but the injuries were not too serious.
finally came out of Ding Feng, such a fierce general. Han Dang didn't want him to go to see Taiyi God so soon, so he asked very nervously, "How is Cheng Yuan's injury?" ”
Ding Feng casually glanced at the injury on his chest, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your concern!" The last general's injuries are fine! ”
Han Dang glanced at Ding Feng's injury again and frowned: "No! It must be cleaned and bandaged quickly! Come! ”
"General!" One of Han Dang's personal soldiers came to Han Dang and hugged his fist.
"Immediately Cheng Yuan went to the Taishou Mansion and called the best healer in the city!"
"Yes!" The pro-soldier agreed, came to Ding Feng, hugged his fists and said, "General! ”
Ding Feng was very grateful to Han Dang and saluted, and then went down to the city gate.
Han Dang sighed and turned to look out of the city. Thick ammonia chloride permeates the chest.
As soon as Tai Shici returned to the camp, his adjutant general came to inspect and report excitedly: "General, Your Majesty is here!" ”
Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, then quickened his pace and ran towards the big tent, and before he reached the big tent, he saw dozens of five big and three thick Wei soldiers guarding around the big tent.
Tai Shi Ci hurriedly entered the big tent, and sure enough, he saw Cao Cao, who was standing in front of the sand table with his hands behind his back, with his back to Tai Shi Ci. On the left side stood Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were as majestic as grizzly bears, and on the right stood a middle-aged man, Tai Shici knew that this person was called Hu Zhao and the pseudo-Han Prime Minister Kong Ming had the same character.
Tai Shi Cihu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said, "The last general will meet Your Majesty!" ”
Cao Cao turned around. Seeing Tai Shici, he couldn't help but laugh: "This is not a formal occasion, there is no need to be so polite!" Get up! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tai Shi Ci stood up with a smile.
Cao Cao punched Tai Shici in the chest. laughed and scolded: "Ziyi, you are really a hero!" ”
Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Cao Cao meant. He grinned and said as a matter of course: "Your Majesty." The last general is going to give Wu Jun a dismount! ”
At this time, Tai Shici's lieutenant general walked into the tent and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "The last general, Zheng Wen, greets Your Majesty!" ”
"That's it, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After letting Zheng Wen get up, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Tai Shici and asked, "Ziyi, if you storm Chaisang City, do you think you can take it in a few days?" ”
Tai Shi Ci thought for a moment and replied, "Three days is enough!" But you can only rely on flying ladders and crashing cars! ”
Cao Cao frowned: "Oh?!" Why? ”
"Your Majesty doesn't know, the walls of this Wuling City are all made of whole bluestone stacks, and the oil tank can't shake it at all!"
Cao Cao nodded, turned his head to look at Hu Zhao: "Kong Ming, do you think we should attack Chaisang City first, or let Chaisang City go!" ”
Hu Zhaosi said after a moment: "Your Majesty, it may be beneficial for us to let go of Chaisang City first!" ”
Cao Cao immediately thought of the tactic of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, so he asked: "Kong Ming wants to use Chaisang City as bait to besiege the city and send reinforcements?" ”
Although Hu Zhao had never heard of the phrase besieging the city and sending reinforcements, when he understood what Cao Cao meant, he smiled and said: "Besieging the city and sending reinforcements is indeed a very good tactic, but I'm afraid it won't be used at this moment!" ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but be slightly surprised, "Why is this?" ”
Hu Zhao smiled incomprehensibly, Dian Wei and Xu Chu on the side saw it, and they all glanced at Hu Zhao, and Dian Wei muttered in a low voice: "How can you be virtuous with that prodigal son!" Xu Chu nodded sympathetically.
Hearing Dian Wei's words, Hu Zhao smiled indifferently and said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty thinks that Liu Zhang is here to save Sun Jian?" ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, thought of something, and looked at Hu Zhao: "What does Kong Ming mean?" ”
Hu Zhao analyzed: "The reason why Liu Zhang will send troops is nothing more than to see that the current general trend is already on our side, if he does not go out of Xichuan at this moment, Sun Jian will be defeated!" Once Sun Jian is defeated, he Xichuan will inevitably not be able to be safe! However, Zhang Song, the prime minister under Liu Zhang, would not fight a bloody battle with the main force of our army under Chaisang City in order to save Sun Jian, which is really unwise in his opinion! Therefore, Weichen concluded that Liu Zhang's army would definitely take advantage of the fact that our army was bound under the city of Chaisang, and attack Jingzhou with heavy troops to destroy our army's logistics line and cut off our army's road back to the north! ”
Cao Cao frowned: "This idea is not bad!" Then he sneered: "Even if they occupy Jingzhou, it is impossible to trap our army!" ”
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Tai Shici on the side nodded together, all showing pride, Cao Cao was not arrogant when he said this, with the combat effectiveness of several main army corps of the Wei army, it was almost impossible to achieve the strategic purpose of the Xichuan legion.
Hu Zhao nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right!" But Your Majesty should not be careless about the enemy! ”
Cao Cao laughed: "Kong Ming, don't worry!" I am not Yuan Shao, and I will never despise any opponent! ”
Hu Zhao nodded appreciatively. (To be continued......)
