Liu Ye was tired for days, worried, had a cold, and did not follow to investigate the military situation, as soon as he heard that Cao Pi had adopted Cao Zun's construction, he was so anxious that he struggled to get up from the sickbed, and met Cao Pi and said: "Shengshang, although General Wei Zhen's two plans are wonderful, but the two armies will be protracted, and our army will come from afar, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous!" ”

"Ziyang, in your opinion, what should I do?" Cao Pi looked impatient, at this time, he missed Jia Xu the most, if Jia Xu was here, how could he not even have a decent plan.

"Now that the army has arrived in the city, things are slowly changing, even if the army is lost, it is necessary to storm Xiangyang, but there is also a chance to win." Liu Ye said.

Cao Pi waved his hand to express his disapproval, this strategy is equivalent to not coming out, if too many troops are consumed, there is no need to fight the big war in the future, let alone exterminate Wang Baoyu. At the same time, it is still that problem, if it is counter-surrounded after breaking through Xiangyang, in addition to changing the national capital to Xiangyang, you can only bow down to Wang Baoyu.

Liu Ye's persuasion was fruitless, so he could only retreat sullenly and continue to go back to recuperate. Cao Pi immediately instructed Cao Zhen to lead 50,000 horses to make a detour to feint on Shangyong, and asked Cao Xiu to lead 50,000 horses to cross the river again and pretend to fight Fancheng.

When the general Tian Ye heard about this situation, he was worried, Xiangyang soldiers and horses could not distinguish so much to intercept the two armies, and when he went out of the city at this time, Xiangyang must be empty, and Cao Pi's 300,000 troops could just take advantage of the weakness.

Just when Tian Ye didn't know what to do, Mo Qianxun led 5,000 men and horses to Xiangyang, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all given to Ma Yunlu and let her be stationed under Jingshan on the south side of Xiangyang.

"Taiwei, Cao Zhen went to Shangyong, and Cao Xiu intended to be in Fancheng, and Xiangyang was weak in division, how should I deal with it?" Tian Ye asked eagerly.

Mo Qianxun was not worried, but laughed out loud and said: "This is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and attack the west from the east. ”

"Tai Lieutenant, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, if it is a real attack from two roads, I am afraid that Shangyong and Fancheng will not be protected!" Tian Ye raised his concerns.

"General Tian and relax, even if the two sides attack and the troops are insufficient, Shi Tao and Man Chong can defend the city for a few days, and our side can still mobilize troops to rescue. On the contrary, if the troops were sent immediately, they must have fallen into Cao Pi's tricks, and the city was empty, and they lost a lot because of a small loss. Mo Qianxun analyzed.

"Taiwei Takami!" Hearing Mo Qianxun say this, the field suddenly opened up, and a boulder in his chest fell to the ground.

"I was worried about before, Cao Pi will pour all his army to attack, but Xiangyang is difficult to hold, and now its troops are scattered, but it is beneficial to us." Mo Qianxun said.

Tian Ye admired Mo Qianxun very much, and at the same time arranged for people to pay close attention to the situation in Shangyong and Fancheng.

Mo Qianxun stood still, seemingly ignoring the life or death of Fan Cheng and Shangyong, which made Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu difficult, this, is it to fight or not? Maybe you can't fight now, so you can only stop the army halfway.

The first plan didn't succeed, Cao Pi was not discouraged, Cao Zun was very thoughtful about this, isn't there another plan? So he immediately implemented the plan of guarding the plant and waiting for the rabbit, and used 50,000 elite soldiers to launch a siege operation against Xiangyang day and night.

Under the city of Xiangyang, the war broke out again, and the Wei soldiers held shields and carried ladders to Xiangyang City, and the momentum was huge. But the giant tree that hit the city gate was not pushed out, which shows that they knew that they would not be able to break through the big iron gate of Xiangyang at all.

Seeing that Cao Pi had used such a small number of troops, Mo Qianxun was happy again, and immediately divided the Xiangyang defenders into two routes, alternately taking up posts to block the attack of the Wei soldiers.

Judging from the speed of the Wei army's actions, the desire to forcibly take the city was not great, and there were more elements of self-preservation, and after the soldiers defending the city put some bows and arrows, the army retreated, and after a while, it made a comeback again.

"Cao Pi only used such a small number of troops to attack Xiangyang, presumably it was a feint." The field saw some doorways.

"I want to mess with our army's heart and wait for work, but I don't know that I am already in prison." Mo Qianxun scoffed.

The Wei army attacked the city day and night, which seemed to be majestic, but in fact it was pretending, and a few days later, the besiegers did not want to die as bait in vain, so they were not willing to attack with all their might.

After a few more days, even the soldiers defending the city in Xiangyang found out that this was just a ploy, and they were not in a hurry, they came to attack and dealt with it a few times, and usually took turns to rest and chat for fun.

After holding each other like this for half a month, the armies of both sides were a little slack, and when they reached the point of battle, they shouted at each other a few times, but the offensive and defensive strength weakened a lot, and some even became familiar with each other, and climbed up their fellow villagers in the air.

Needless to say, Cao Zun's two strategies failed, Cao Pi felt depressed, and began to feel that Cao Zun's head was not bright enough, and he didn't solve the problem at all!

Cao Pi finally recovered the tens of thousands of soldiers who were besieging the city, and there were more than 10,000 people missing, which was equivalent to losing them in vain. Cao Pi was annoyed and ashamed, feeling that he was so angry that he couldn't even eat because he was seen as a joke.

Cao Zun didn't dare to speak anymore, and still stubbornly thought in private that his idea was good, mainly because Wang Baoyu was too cunning.

Cao Pi was bored for a day, but he still felt that Liu Ye, who could plan for fickleness, was more reliable, and ordered: "Doctor Ziyang is called to come to discuss the matter." ”

Liu Ye was left out in the cold and depressed, and when he heard Cao Pi calling him, he hurriedly came to Cao Pi's marching camp. Cao Pi said with a smile: "Doctor Ziyang, it seems that today, Cao Zunsheng's plan to attack the east and west, and wait for work at ease has not worked, I regret that I should not listen to Ziyang's words, and please come up with another good plan." ”

"I am willing to share the worries of the saint and never give up." Liu Ye was immediately moved, and forgot all the snubs he had received before.

Liu Ye analyzed the pros and cons and also proposed two schemes, called slow and urgent.

The so-called slow map, temporarily abandon Xiangyang, divide the troops into two ways and join forces with Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, and change the feint attack on Shangyong and Fancheng into a real attack, so that the two cities are difficult to protect.

The method of the emergency plan is very simple, it has been some time to feint Xiangyang, and the defenders in the city know that this is a plan to wait for work, and the army's spirit has been slack, so they can clean up the army and suddenly launch a full-scale attack on Xiangyang, and take the other side by surprise.

As soon as he heard the method of urgency, Cao Pi's eyes immediately lit up, Liu Ye saw it, and hurriedly added, he believes that the comprehensive pros and cons, the strategy of slowing down the map is more effective, which is also what he has always advocated, first take the periphery, then attack the core, and gradually encroach.

Cao Pi had been waiting for a long time and ran out of patience, he just wanted to take Xiangyang as much as possible, and then go to Yiling to meet Wang Baoyu, who was angry when he thought about it.

Cao Pi finally adopted Liu Ye's urgent plan and instructed Cao Hong to prepare siege materials, and Keri launched the strongest all-out attack on Xiangyang.

Mo Qianxun in Xiangyang City, climbed the city wall every day to check the military situation, and saw that the Wei army that was besieging the city did not increase its strength, and it was still the half-dead siege method, but the worry in his heart became stronger and stronger.
