Chapter 984: Don't Be Fooled
Chang'an is very noble from the noble Cheng. Because it was the capital of the pre-Han period. Geographically, it is also very advantageous. It is located in Guanzhong, surrounded by plains in all directions, and has a large agricultural foundation.
In addition, the east is Tongguan. Tongguan is known as the first in the world, during the Warring States Period, the Qin State was located in the northwest, and the powerful power made the eastern princes afraid of the abnormal, and attacked the Qin State again and again.
But there are few times when the Tong Pass is crossed.
There are millions of bones under the city of Tongguan. With this Xiongguan, it is enough to resist the threat from the east, and to the north is the Yellow River, which is also dangerous.
In addition, the area of Chang'an is also an important channel for Ma Teng, Han Sui and Wei to connect. If Chang'an is obtained by the Chu State, it is equivalent to cutting off an important supply line.
The only way to do this was to cross the Yellow River from Bingzhou to replenish supplies.
This is too much loss for the Qin State, the Liang State, and the Wei State.
"I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf:
If you want Kou to die, you have to abandon Chang'an. In the face of everyone's unwillingness, Zhong Que shook his head, very bold.
"In that case, how can I substitute for Wei?" Cao Hong also moved after hearing this, and when he still hesitated, this hesitation came from Cao Cao:
After all, the matter is too big, and if it fails, they will be to blame.
"Now the general is the general of the expedition to the west, and he commands the western armies, but he doesn't ask the king's fate." Zhong Zhen raised his head and looked at Cao Hong and said. This ding, method, is somewhat feasible, but it must have Cao Hong's support.
General Zhengxi, not in vain.
Cao Hong was not a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, now that he is alive and dead, he still cares about what to do. Either a big victory will keep the Wei state, or a big defeat, and the Wei state will also die.
There's no third way.
"Okay, just withdraw the 5,000 elite soldiers in Chang'an and go to Xianyang:"
In the end, Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said.
"General Vision."
Zhong Gao really admired, this decision was not so easy to make, although Cao Hong was Cao Cao's absolute descendant, but after all, the risk was too great
Once it fails, no one can afford it.
Cao Hong himself is also very courageous.
"Don't expect those Qiang idiots. Rectify the army and fight to the death with the Chu army. Zhong Cheng turned his head and said to Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Yan Xing and others:
"Today's plan can also be like this." Ma Teng sighed and said:
The situation was unfavorable, and Maarten's confidence was hit.
"Fight it out." Ma Chao's eyes flashed, he was still strong and vigorous.
……………………
Jump county, in the center of the city in the Taishou Mansion Hall.
Kou Feng summoned Pang Tong, Zhang Fei, Chen Da, Deng Ai and others to discuss major matters.
"Just now, Lone received a message from Zhao Qiyun in the northwest. Outside the city, he killed tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry, and also successfully dragged the Qiang tribe and created a good environment for us. Kou Feng's face was full of joy and said happily.
What a blow this news is to Ma Teng, and how much joy it is for Kou Feng:
Zhao Qiyun did a good job, with only 70,000 horse infantry troops, he dragged down the 200,000 iron cavalry of the Qiang tribe.
"Zilong is really a good general." Pang Tong also showed a hint of surprise on his face when he heard this, and exclaimed:
Deng Ai's eyes flashed, and he admired it very much. When he was in Xinye, Zhao Qiyun's prestige was already thunderous. Now Zhao Qiyun is still in the prime of life, brave and good at fighting, and he is really a model for his generation of military generals
"Zilong can block the Qiang cavalry, that's expected, the key is how we can defeat Ma Teng, Cao Hong and the like."
Zhang Fei's face showed a hint of solemnity and said.
In fact, before this, Zhang Fei was also quite worried about Zhao Qiyun, after all, Zhao Qiyun was facing the Minyuan clan on horseback, their cavalry was trained the day after tomorrow, and people could ride horses and gallop at a few years.
The gap is here.
Zhang Fei does not deny that the training he has acquired is indeed able to surpass the people on horseback. But in number, the Qiang people have four times as many cavalry as Zhao Qiyun.
So Zhang Fei was also worried before, but now the news has come. Zhao Qiyun stabilized the situation in Xiliang and helped the state of Chu consolidate the benefits it had gained in Liangzhou.
The task has been completed perfectly.
Next, it was their turn to attack Yongzhou and live up to Zhao Qiyun's efforts.
Kou Feng couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "It's this truth, it's gratifying to be defeated, but after all, it's a thing of the past, you can't always be complacent, you have to look forward." ”
As he spoke, Kou Feng asked Pang Tongdao: "I don't know about the 50,000 recruits transferred from Yizhou and Jingzhou. What's going on? ”
Before the Northern Expedition, Kou Feng had already ordered the conscription of 50,000 new soldiers to make sure that everything was ready. When Fa Zheng attacked Jincheng and sent Zhao Qiyun to Xiliang, he immediately thought of this elite army, so he informed Situ Jiang Wan to prepare his troops to go to Jincheng; The other side also notified Kou Feng:
Kou Feng didn't stop Fa Zheng's move, because it was as it should be. Even now that Zhao Qiyun has stabilized Xiliang, these 50,000 recruits still have to pile up in Jincheng.
Forge a second screen belonging to the northwest to protect the safety of the left side of his headquarters' military horses. This is very important.
"It should have arrived in Hanzhong, and in about a month, it should be able to enter Jincheng and talk about defense." Pang Tong was very clear about these and couldn't help but say.
After a pause, he said with a smile: "Wait for these 50,000 recruits to gather in Jincheng, plus the 15,000 foot soldiers in Fa Xiaozhi's hand, and the 15,000 foot soldiers in Wu Yi's hand." That's 80,000 foot soldiers. Sticker bar shake hands dedication. It may not be able to deal with the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Qiang people, but the security of the defensive flank is completely sufficient.
"Hmm."
Kou Feng's face was even more happy, and he nodded.
Zhao Qiyun helped them drag it for a while, and then the army returned to its place. No matter what the next war is, the Liangzhou region south of the Yellow River already belongs to the Chu State.
Tianshui, Qinchuan, Jincheng, Wudu, Longxi. A lot of land.
If you want to fight a long-term war, you can directly immigrate from Yizhou and Jingzhou to reclaim the fields, and after two or three years, the grain produced in this Yongliang land will be able to cope with the food consumption of the Chu army.
The grain road is smoother.
Of course, this is just the way back. In Kou Feng's opinion, if you don't have a long-term war, you don't have to fight a long-term war, it's best to clean up Ma Teng and Han Sui tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will copy Cao Cao's lair
"Xu Shu, Lu Xun, Huang Zhong, where are their army? Now the tiger and leopard are riding in the northwest, which is a good opportunity. Therefore, Kou Feng pinned his hopes on Xu Shu and the other three, and couldn't help but ask Pang Tongdao.
"Originally, it was said that they would attack together in a month, but now it has been 20 days. Ten days later will be the day of the general attack. Pang Tong said.
"Ten days later. It is the five-way army of Chu State, which destroys Liang, destroys Qin all the way, and destroys Wei on three roads: with its own strength, it is really enjoyable to be the enemy of the Three Kingdoms. Kou Feng was in a good mood when he heard this, and said with a smile.
Pang Tong, Zhang Fei and others all nodded with a smile, although it is said that it is the so-called four points today, but in fact, the Chu State has already occupied five percent of it.
The establishment of the Chu State has Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, Jingbei, Jingnan, Yizhou, Yanzhou, Nanzhou, and half of Liangzhou. The three northern states only have Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Yizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and half of Liangzhou. Not much closer.
In terms of geography, population, military power, and economic power, Chu surpassed the three northern kingdoms.
The five-way army and the destruction of the Three Kingdoms together are not arrogant, but due to strength.
If it is said that Cao Cao went south back then, it is considered the time of day. Now the state of Chu is the real time, and the world must be one.
"Could it be that the generals are attacking, and we are here to defend them?" Chen Da asked, seeing that Xu Shu and they were about to enter the army, the beacon fire broke out.
Zhao Qiyun fought the Qiang tribe in the northwest again, and only their soldiers and horses were piled up in Jump County, which made him a little unwilling.
"Don't worry, we won't move, Cao Hong, Ma Teng and the like will move. After all, 50,000 tigers and leopards rode over, and they made up their minds to destroy our soldiers and horses first, and then return to the Central Plains.
Kou Feng smiled slightly when he heard this, and said confidently.
"Your Majesty is right, let's tighten the fortifications first and wait for them to attack."
Pang Tong also said.
Kou Feng is the main one here, Pang Tong is secondary, and the others are small miscellaneous fish in front of the two. The two people who are in charge are slow and reasonable, even if Chen Da and Zhang Fei are eager to fight, they can only obey helplessly.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move, and if the enemy moves, I will not move, and I will not move like a mountain.
Just when everyone was discussing the current situation in the hall, a small official walked in outside the door.
"Your Majesty, a spy has heard the news, and Chang'an's troops are a little weird." After entering the hall, "the official Lijiao reported to Kou Fengyu.
"Spooky? What do you mean? Kou Feng asked strangely, Chang'an, that place is the place he has coveted for a long time, only the capital of the Han Dynasty. Cao Caoran's guess is not wrong, if he gets Chang'an. Kou Feng is ready to be the emperor.
Truly become the Ninety-Five, Weijia Haine.
Because at that time, it means that the Chu State is truly invincible, and even Cao Cao is just a remnant.
It is natural to be called the emperor and obey the mandate of heaven.
"The defenders of Chang'an are retreating to Xianyang on a large scale. ," said the Commandant.
It's really weird.
Kou Feng touched his chin, Chang'an is such an important place, and he actually doesn't let go of troops.
"It's both meat and a trap." Pang Tong also thought so, and quickly guessed that it was a trap, and couldn't help but say.
"It's a trap, but it's enough. If you have a low self-control, I'm afraid you can't help but pounce. Chang'an, getting Chang'an is equivalent to getting the entire Guanzhong, that is, the world. ”
Kou Feng smiled and nodded.
However, he underestimated Lonely. Ignore him, if you want to eliminate Lone, let him jump from the county and fight to the death" Immediately, Kou Feng said coldly.
A large, incomparable piece of fat is placed in front of you.
But is Kou Feng mortal? How could you be fooled?
Immediately, Kou Feng ordered: "Build fortifications with all your might, and wait for them to come." ”
"No." The generals promised and said.
