Chapter 355: Yang Mou
Thank you for the two monthly tickets voted by the brothers who drift in the wind の leaf boat!
After Ma Teng and others listened to Zhuge Liang's strategy, they changed their usual attitude towards Tongguan, not attacking but only besieging but not attacking, and the Xiliang coalition army besieged but did not attack, although Lejin, who was guarding Tongguan, was relieved, but in this way, it means that the consumption of military supplies in Tongguan has become larger.
Tongguan itself is a checkpoint, and there will not be too much military supplies such as money and grain saved in it, so to speak, in the future, after Tongguan runs out of food, it will have to go out of the customs and fight in the field with the Xiliang coalition army.
A few days later, when Zhao Yun and Cao Pi arrived with 10,000 cavalry, Tongguan could be described as calm as before the storm, Zhao Yun and Cao Pi, who had entered Tongguan smoothly, saw Le Jin with an excited face not long after.
Walking closer, after seeing Cao Pi in armor, a look of surprise flashed on Le Jin's face, and he hurriedly hugged his fists solemnly and said: "The last general will see the second son!" ”
"General Le, please, this time, Ziheng is just a partial general, not the second son."
"The Admiral understands!"
Seeing that although Cao Pi's words were cold, there was no trace of hypocrisy or contrived expression on his face, Le Jin admired and was relieved in his heart.
Le Jin can also be regarded as the old man of Wei Jun, and for Cao Pi, a descendant of Cao Cao, to be able to have such a heart, of course, he feels a sense of relief.
After taking his eyes off Cao Pi's body, Le Jin saw Zhao Yun on the side, and his face became excited: "Zilong, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
Although Zhao Yun led only 10,000 cavalry, with the sinister nature of Tongguan, Lejin was still sure that he would hold on until the arrival of Cao Cao's army, not to mention that although 10,000 cavalry was less, it was no less than a booster for the original Wei soldiers in Tongguan.
"Wen Qian, when I entered the customs, I found that the enemy army did not move at all, why is this?"
Compared with Lejin's excitement and excitement, Zhao Yun obviously thought of other aspects, the 100,000 Xiliang coalition army did not make the slightest movement, and allowed himself and others to enter Tongguan, which made Zhao Yun feel uneasy in his heart because of incomprehension.
"Zilong, don't you know, since a few days ago, the enemy army was no longer attacking Tongguan, but surrounded Tongguan, besieging but not attacking, I don't know what happened inside the enemy army, it will be like this"
Knowing that Ma Teng and the others were besieging but not attacking, Zhao Yun's brows were even more frowned: "Siege but not attack, what do they want to do in the Xiliang Alliance, they don't take advantage of the fact that our army has the upper hand in numbers, and capture Tongguan, but only surround it?" ”
"This, maybe the Xiliang coalition army saw that my Tongguan was tall and majestic, and wanted to exhaust the grain and grass in my Tongguan and force our army to go out of the pass to fight?"
Zhao Yun and Le Jin both frowned tightly, looking at what the Xiliang Coalition Army was besieging and not attacking this time, but Cao Pi on the side suddenly said loudly: "No matter why the Xiliang Coalition Army is besieging and not attacking, but for our army, it is a good opportunity, and when our army comes, it will be the day of the enemy's defeat!" ”
"What the second prince said is right, no matter what the Xiliang coalition army wants to do, they besiege but not attack, it is indeed a good opportunity for our army, and when the king's army arrives, it will be the day of the defeat of the Xiliang coalition army!"
For Lejin, regardless of whether the Xiliang coalition army has the idea of depleting the grain and grass in Tongguan, after Cao Cao leads the army to come, it is more than enough to destroy the 100,000 Xiliang coalition army.
Zhao Yun and Le Jin glanced at each other, nodded helplessly, and said a good word, but they all understood that the real reason was because with their strength at this time, if they left Tongguan and Xiliang to fight in the field, it would be very unfavorable.
At this time, inside Tongguan, in addition to the 10,000 cavalry led by Zhao Yun, there were only more than 20,000 foot soldiers left, and the Wei army of more than 30,000 wanted to defeat more than 100,000 Xiliang cavalry in the field, neither Zhao Yun nor Le Jin had ever thought about it.
Don't say that the 30,000 Wei troops at this time, except for the 10,000 cavalry who are elite soldiers, the remaining more than 20,000 are not even comparable to the state soldiers in the Central Plains, let them guard the Tongguan Pass, and just about to let them go out of the pass and fight with the Xiliang cavalry, Zhao Yun and Le Jin are worried about whether they will collapse directly.
With this consideration, Zhao Yun and Le Jin both decided to wait for Cao Cao to lead the army to come, but the helpless move of Zhao Yun and the others made the initiative of the war gradually slide towards the Xiliang coalition army.
The siege of the Xiliang coalition army lasted for nearly half a month, and it was not until half a month later, when Cao Ren, who was appointed by Cao Cao, personally led 100,000 troops to come, that the Xiliang coalition army lifted the encirclement of Tongguan, but withdrew to the flat land outside Tongguan, that is, did not leave, did not retreat, which can be described as annoying.
In Tongguan, Cao Ren, who officially became the chief general of the Wei army this time, turned ugly when he heard that the Xiliang coalition army had besieged Tongguan without attacking Tongguan for nearly a month: "Good calculation, really good calculation!" ”
When Cao Ren set out on this expedition, Cao Cao told him unmistakably that he must do his best to solve the Xiliang coalition army, not to eliminate them all, but at least to recover Chang'an, just because, if the 100,000 army has been dragged by the Xiliang coalition army, not to mention anything else, just like this, the impatience of the princes of the world is enough to make the Wei state form not very good.
This time, only the Xiliang family launched a war against the Wei army, but it was not because the other princes in the world surrendered to Cao Cao, but because of their own reasons, but they didn't dare to do what the reason, when they saw that the Wei army's 100,000 troops of the North and Xiliang coalition forces were dragging down, they would think too much, and when people thought too much, then their hearts would become impatient.
If it is really attacked by other princes, not more, even if it is just a prince, it will unmistakably expose the weakness of Wei at this time, and at that time, even if it is Liu Zhang and Liu Biao, who are unintentionally enterprising, may come up and take a bite and take advantage.
The Xiliang coalition army retreated to the flat land, did not leave or attack, obviously waiting for Cao Ren to take the initiative to lead the army to the plain and the Xiliang cavalry field battle, 130,000 Wei troops, of which the cavalry was only 30,000, and the rest were 100,000 infantry.
Among the infantry, minus the people guarding Tongguan, only 70,000 people can fight, and 100,000 cavalry infantry against 100,000 Xiliang cavalry, this battle is really not easy to fight.
But understand that Cao Ren still has to send troops, just because the Xiliang coalition army can afford to drag it, but the Wei army can't afford to drag it, this is Zhuge Liang's yang plan, even if Cao Ren understands, but he has to come to the state according to Zhuge Liang's plan, which can be described as terrible.
