Chapter 995: Each Has Its Own Victory and Defeat (1)
Thanks to CC for the two monthly passes rewarded by her father-in-law!
Cao Cao read the secret report and frowned: "The people of the Jin Kingdom have already mobilized the local garrisons and reserve troops of the nine eastern provinces!" That's an estimated number of 300,000! ”
"Just in time! Let's annihilate them all! The belligerent Ma Chao said excitedly.
Cao Cao smiled, turned his head and asked Tian Chou, "Zitai, what do you think?" ”
Tian Chou analyzed: "Although the enemy army has 300,000 people, but the second-line army of the entire Jin Kingdom has limited combat power, I think one of our main army is enough to deal with it!" ”
Cao Cao nodded, walked to the tent, and came to the sand table on the side, and the generals surrounded him.
Cao Cao took the wooden stick and nodded at the location of Kukan City, "We are here now!" To the west is a large plain with a flat river, and four hundred miles to the west is the Tunguska River, where the Jin people have built a strong fortress, and the Tunguska River is turbulent, especially now, the flow of snowmelt is gathered in it, and the Tunguska River is even more turbid, and it is difficult for our army to strengthen the Tunguska River at present! ”
The generals didn't understand what Cao Cao meant for a while, but Tian Chou already understood.
Cao Cao took a wooden stick and circled the position of Kukan City, and then struck on the plain between the Tunguska River and Kukan, "Feint to attack Kukan!" We are waiting here for reinforcements from the enemy with another main force! ”
The generals' eyes lit up, and Tian Chou nodded with admiration.
"Your Majesty is very clever in this plan! Admire it! Tian Chou said sincerely.
Cao Cao laughed, "I'm just taking the wisdom of my predecessors!" ”
Cao Cao's so-called predecessors are actually people thousands of years later.
"Meng Qi, you lead the Xuanjia cavalry into this forest and wait for orders!" Cao Cao pointed to a dense forest road more than 100 miles east of the Tunguska River.
Ma Chao glanced at the sand table, and Hong Sheng agreed, looking extremely excited.
"Meng Qi, you will be the main attack in this battle! But you must obey Zitai's orders, otherwise military law will not be tolerated! Cao Cao said.
Ma Chao's heart sank, and he hugged his fists and promised.
Cao Cao turned his head to Tian Chou and said: "Zitai, although our army has a great advantage in this battle, the battlefield is changing rapidly, so I will send you to take command!" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will not live up to his mission!" Tian Chou solemnly promised.
Cao Cao nodded, "I have transferred the first legion and the second legion to you to use, so you must do your best in one battle!" ”
"Yes!"
"Gao Ran, Gao Shun!"
"The last general!" The two of them made a promise together.
"You two are the deputy generals of Zitai!"
"No!"
Immediately, the two generals hugged their fists towards Tian Chou, "Follow the orders of the adults!" Tian Chou returned the salute.
"The rest of the tribes will follow me to attack Kukan City!"
"No!" The rest of the congregation will make the promise together.
After the account was dispersed, Cao Cao was alone in the big tent to review the official documents.
I don't know how long it took, Cao Cao put down the official document in his hand, rubbed his temples that were a little sore, and stretched his waist.
Cao Cao stood up, turned over the big tent, and the Imperial Forest Army on duty outside the tent immediately saluted Cao Cao.
Cao Cao glanced at the night sky, which was dark and dreary, without a trace of starry moonlight.
"What time is it now?" Cao Cao asked.
One of the guards replied, "It's probably midnight! ”
At this time, Dian Wei had just returned from his tour in the camp.
"Dian Wei, you haven't rested yet!" Cao Cao smiled.
Dian Wei Hanyi smiled, "Didn't Your Majesty not rest either?" ”
Cao Cao smiled happily, "Dian Wei, let's go with me!" ”
"No!" Dian Wei asked his Imperial Guards to patrol the surroundings, and then followed Cao Cao.
Dian Wei fell behind Cao Cao, half of his body followed.
"Dian Wei, you've been with me for almost ten years, haven't you?" Cao Cao asked.
Dian Wei nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, back then, I was just a grass people, but you made an exception to reuse me!" ”
Cao Cao turned around, patted Dian Wei's arm, and said with a smile: "Dian Wei is brave and unmatched, and he will not be buried anywhere!" In the years that you have been with me, although we are called kings and ministers, we are actually brothers! ”
"Your Majesty!" Dian Wei didn't know what to say, and his eyes showed excitement.
"Dian Wei, I heard that you already have a son?"
Dian Wei showed a shy smile, "Yes, it's almost three years old!" ”
Cao Cao smiled, "What's your name?" ”
"Pawned."
Cao Cao chewed on the name and couldn't help asking, "Why is it called that?" ”
Dian Wei picked his head and said blankly: "I don't know!" It's that's it! ”
Cao Cao smiled happily, "When I go back this time, I will send Dianman to the academy, so that he will not be alone!" ”
The so-called school hall is actually a classroom for teaching the princes and daughters in the palace.
Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, and clenched his fists with great gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Cao Cao patted Dian Wei's arm and continued to stroll.
Cao Cao couldn't help but think that the children of these civil ministers and military generals under his command might set up a special institution for them to learn and play.
On the same night, after carefully arranging all the defensive matters, Tokhtarbuhua changed into civilian clothes, quietly came out of the north city gate, ventured through the Wei army besieging Kukan City, and headed straight to the east.
The next morning, the war drums of the Wei army rang out, and the Wei army launched a fierce attack on the city of Kukan.
After a day of fierce fighting, although the Wei army failed to capture the city, it caused considerable pressure on the Jin people, and the morale of the Kukan garrison was quite dampened.
At the same time, the assembled 300,000 Jin reinforcements were stepping up their march towards the Tunguska River, and the big war was approaching.
The Wei army attacked for four days in a row, and Kukan City was crumbling under the onslaught of the Wei army, and it was really unknown if Kukan City could hold out for a few more days.
After another day of siege, the Wei army made a big tent.
"These days, the third and fourth legions have been doing very well!" Cao Cao said happily.
The generals of the Third and Fourth Army Corps could not help but exude excitement.
"Your Majesty, tomorrow we will be able to capture Kukan City!" The deputy commander of the Third Legion hugged his fists with confidence.
Cao Cao smiled, "It's good to have confidence!" But don't underestimate it! ”
"Yes!"
"Is there any news from Zitai?" Cao Cao asked.
Zhang He replied: "Not yet, but according to the time, it's going to be fast over there!" ”
Cao Cao nodded, "As soon as there is news, report it immediately!" ”
"No!"
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said to the generals: "Tomorrow, all the armies will rest for a day!" ”
The generals were stunned for a moment, and Zhang He clenched his fists and asked, "Your Majesty, as long as you work harder, you can capture Kukan City!" Why take a break at this time? The morale of the armies is high and the fighting spirit is high, there is no need at all! (To be continued.) )
