"This is exactly the message to convey the past, General Zhang Ren, the people you send out, you must warn them, even if they are three times the enemy, they must not be greedy, as long as they hold on.

When the other three enemy forces were defeated, and the father returned to Chang'an, Jiangdong was so weak and isolated, and our army attacked again, it would be like a plough to sweep the holes, and the situation would be decided in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes." Zhang Renlang took the order.

"On the third road, Zhelanying's 100,000 troops gathered in Hetao, intending to invade Yongliang and Beidi in the south, and Ma Chao Wang Shuang."

"Yes." The two will be listed together.

"You immediately lead the Xiliang cavalry, the eastern Tsing Yi wolf cavalry, the rest of the Qiang cavalry, the Sichuan cavalry, plus 100,000 infantry, to form an army of 200,000 to the north to resist the invasion of the Di people."

"Yes." Ma Chao and Wang Shuang received the order.

"The fourth road, and the most threatening road, Cao Army General Zhang Liao, led an army of 450,000, known as 700,000, with Xun You as the military division, invaded Guanzhong, and Zhang was the general."

"The end will be."

"Ask Yang Huai to lead 50,000 troops into Hangu Pass, and lead another 300,000 troops into Qingni Pass to prepare for a decisive battle with Cao's army."

"Qingni Pass?" Zhang Ren was stunned for a moment, and said, "Young master, why is it Qingni Pass?" This time, the main direction of Cao Jun's attack is Hangu Pass. ”

"That's it." Liu Xun said undoubtedly, "The rest of the generals went down to prepare, and a few generals and General Guan Yinping stayed." ”

"Yes." The generals retreated with a piece of armor rubbing sound, and only Zhang Ren, Ma Chao, Fan Lixiang and others were left in the hall, and Huang Zhong was very dissatisfied with not calling him.

"Generals, you are left because you are the confidants of my father. So I can speak up to you. The enemy also has the Fifth Route Army. That's the traitor within us. ”

"Traitor? Who is it? Huang Zhong said loudly, with a "loyalty" in his name, Huang Zhong hated traitors the most, especially at this time, obviously because he thought Liu Zhang was dead, so he rebelled.

"I don't know yet, but there are all kinds of signs that there must be traitors in our army. The most important proof is that the main direction of Cao Jun's attack is completely at the Qingni Pass. ”

"But how did the last general hear the information that Zhang Liao was going to kill Xianghangu Pass?" Zhang Ren replied.

"That's a superficial phenomenon, Zhang Liao's plan to attack the west from the east, you only see Zhang Liao arrive in Yuzhou, the marching route is biased to the northwest, and they themselves say that the main direction of attack is in Hangu Pass, but when they reach the west of Yuzhou, they can turn to Qingni Pass at any time.

The reason why it is certain that Zhang Liao is attacking the east and the west. The generals could look at their supply lines instead of Zhang Liao's marching routes. ”

"Supply lines?" Zhang Ren and other generals were taken aback. They also collect intelligence, but unless they want to cut off the other side's supply lines, who will deliberately pay attention to other people's supply lines? Liu Xun suddenly mentioned this, and all the generals were stunned for a moment.

"That's right, since the Great Immigration, Yuzhou has ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the road is deserted, this time the Cao army marched westward, and their supply line was Yingshui, not the land of Heluo.

This is strange, if the Cao army really wants to attack Hangu Pass, their 450,000 troops will definitely be stationed under Hangu Pass, and the supply road from Yingshui will be at least twice as long as the supply road from Heluo.

With such a long supply line and 450,000 troops, how much food would have to be wasted, even if Cao Cao had the support of the clan and was so rich, it would be impossible to waste it like this, right?

Only if it is possible for the Cao army to be stationed at the Qingni Pass, Yingshui's supply line is the shortest and reasonable, the Cao army can attack the east and the west on the march, but they can't on the supply line, and the main attack of the Cao army must be the Qingni Pass. ”

As soon as Liu Xun finished speaking, the generals were shocked, not only shocked by Cao Jun's conspiracy, although the Qingni Pass was dangerous, but it was far inferior to Hangu Pass, if the Cao Army attacked the east and west, the Sichuan Army was transferred from Hangu Pass to the Qingni Pass, and Cao Jun would inevitably pick up a big bargain, and even really break through the Qingni Pass.

However, the generals were even more shocked by Liu Xun's resourcefulness, saying that Liu Xun's intelligence was mediocre, and he couldn't write a poem at the beginning, but now the strategic deployment is rigorous and reasonable, and the dispatch of troops will be orderly.

can also gain insight into such a small place as the supply line, even Zhang Ren and the others didn't pay attention to it, but Liu Xun has already studied it in depth, this is definitely a super-first-class wisdom.

"The young lord is wise." Zhang Ren and others arched their hands.

Liu Xun looked at the eyes of the generals, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, of course these were what Zhou Budo said, he just said it again, Liu Xun knew that if it wasn't for Zhou Budo, he would have turned over those books, and he wouldn't have paid attention to the information on Cao Jun's supply line.

Liu Xun coughed and continued: "The Cao army is mainly attacking the Qingni Pass, and from the point of view of the supply line, there must be very few Cao troops outside Hangu Pass, so it is not only that the Qingni Pass is easier to attack than Hangu Pass, but there is also a great possibility that they have found the internal response in the defenders of Qingni Pass."

I don't have any definite evidence, just a bold assumption that, in any case, we have to prevent the disaster from causing a disaster, and for this I make three arrangements.

First, General Zhang Ren commanded an army of 300,000 troops, and he also attacked the east and west, only saying that he had entered Hangu Pass, but after leaving Chang'an, he chose to approach the Qingni Pass. ”

"Yes."

"Second, the cavalry army under the command of Ma Chao Wang Shuang secretly transferred to Hanoi, and after Zhang Liao's army reached the Qingni Pass, it would be killed from the land of Heluo, cut off the back road of the Cao army, and attack back and forth, we must let these miscellaneous armies organized by the clan suffer heavy losses under the iron hooves of the Sichuan army."

"But in this case, what should the northern Zhenlanying do?" Ma Chao was puzzled, and Wang Shuang Pang De and the others also looked at Liu Xun.

"This is exactly what Zhang Liaoxun didn't expect, they thought that we would send a large army to resist Zhe Lanying, so they definitely didn't expect your army to enter Hanoi and appear behind them.

You don't have to worry about Zhe Lanying, Zhang Liao has both civil and military skills, Xun You is superior in resourcefulness, if not, we can't deceive them, this is our only chance to hit Cao Jun hard. ”

The relationship between Zhi Lanying and Liu Zhang, not many people know, everyone knows that Zhi Lanying was hugged back by Liu Zhang, but the next day she ran away again, there is no doubt that the submission of Zhi Lanying on the first day was just a false promise, in order to let the Sichuan army relax their vigilance and escape the next day.

Cao Jun thinks so, and the soldiers of the Sichuan army also think so, Zhou Budo not doubt the battle of the Great Wall, and the Sichuan army hates the Di army even more.

If Zhelan Yingzhen's army goes south, 100,000 iron hooves will sweep through Yongliang and directly set foot on Chang'an, Ma Chao and Wang Shuang wondered why Liu Xun didn't resist, but at this time they could only take orders.

"Third." Liu Xun looked at Fan Lixiang and Huang Zhong: "The traitor in the Qingni Pass must be eliminated, before getting rid of it, we must investigate first, and the investigation will be handed over to General Fan Lixiang, Fan Lixiang led the Shenwei Army to secretly enter the Qingni Pass, and is fully responsible for investigating the affairs of the spies, and the power to dispose of the investigation is also all yours, General Fan, can you do it?" ”

"No problem." Fan Lixiang arched her hand, and all the generals admired Fan Lixiang's self-confidence, such as Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, if you want them to go to war, it's no problem, but if you investigate any spies, they must not cry to death, but when they saw Fan Lixiang agreeing so happily, they all had to admire, and at the same time they were glad that this was not on their own.

"After the investigation comes out, it will be eradicated, and the internal eradication is simple, but since the internal traitor, there is an external response, I believe that now Cao Jun must have sent an army to raid my Qingni Pass, ready to cooperate with the internal traitor.

General Huang Zhong, General Guan Yinping, General Lei Tong. ”

"The end will be." The three will be listed together.

"General Guan Yinping led his swordsmen and the remaining 10,000 Tengjia troops out of Wuguan, sneaked into Shaoxi Mountain south of Qingni Pass, and stood by the whole army, paying close attention to whether there was a surprise attack by Cao's army.

As long as the enemy army is found, it will be immediately summoned back to the camp at Qingni Pass, and at the same time, it will be lined up in the rear of the Cao army's raiding army, and it will be necessary to block the Cao army's retreat.

During this period, General Huang Zhong led the heavy cavalry, and General Lei Tong led the elite cavalry, and defeated the enemy before the army under Guan Yinping suffered heavy casualties, can it be done? ”

"No problem." Huang Zhong, Lei Tong said loudly.

"Where's General Guan?"

Guan Yinping arched his hand and said: "Young master, rest assured, Guan Yinping swears to complete the task." ”

"Okay, in this way, even if Cao Jun has a Fifth Route Army, it should be fine, do you have anything to add?" Liu Xun asked the generals.

The generals were silent, unable to think of any loopholes, Zhang Ren suddenly said: "Young lord, we have disarmed 100,000 ourselves, 600,000 troops in Guanzhong, 300,000 troops out of Qingni Pass, 200,000 troops into Hanoi, 50,000 troops in Tongguan, plus garrisons in various parts of Guanzhong, isn't Chang'an empty?" ”

Liu Xundao: "Chang'an still has 20,000 people to guard, and with Hangu Pass and Qingni Pass as the gateway, invincible to defend, 20,000 people are redundant, but just in case, I will send another 10,000 people to guard Chang'an, General Zhang, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Ren thought about it, as long as the Qingni Pass and Hangu Pass were closed, Chang'an would sit back and relax, and there was nothing to worry about, and said loudly: "Then the general will go down to reorganize the army." ”

Zhang Ren and the generals retreated together, leaving Liu Xun and Zhou Budo in the palace, Liu Xun said: "Don't doubt brother, I'm sorry, I know that you are right not to announce the news of your father's resurrection for the time being, but you didn't speak, and you were left with the black pot again." ”

Zhou Budo waved his hand, his face was sad, and the generals didn't feel that there was anything wrong with their strategy, but didn't Cao Jun really have a Sixth Route Army?

Before Fan Lixiang reached the Qingni Pass, she turned all the 3,000 Shenwei troops under her command into peasants and scattered outside the Qingni Pass with the refugees who wanted to escape into the pass.

When the Shenwei army sneaked out, they immediately ordered the closure of the Qingni Pass and the dangerous villages, preventing anyone, including those refugees, from entering, and the peasant soldiers of the Shenwei army mixed with those refugees.

Originally, Cao Jun had not yet come, and the Qingni Pass was to allow the people in the Nanyang area to escape the war to enter Guanzhong, after all, Guanzhong immigration is a long-term policy, and now Guanzhong is still too small because of the large migration, the population has skyrocketed, but it is still too little for the vast Guanzhong.
