Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2178 Cutting the battlefield, Chonghuan fell into the trap

Yuzhou.

Li Xiang has not intervened in the Xuzhou war, because he is also doing an important thing.

The enemy Zhao Kuangyin was completely surrounded and killed in the Central Plains.

To achieve this, the most important thing is to cut off the battlefield and cut off the connection between Tian Dan, Zhao Kuangyin and other Central Plains soldiers and horses.

Therefore, when Li Xiang led 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jiyin with Wang Zhongsi as the general, he also asked Guo Ziyi to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Pei State from Chen State, change Dan County, Xia Zhi County, Fuli, and garrison Daze Township completely cuts off Runan in the south.

Now, Zhao Kuangyin's troops in the Central Plains only have the part in Runan left. The rest, whether it is Zhao Kuangyin's troops or Tian Dan's troops, are just the remaining defeated troops.

As long as the south can be cut off and Zhao Kuangyin and Tian Dan are not given the opportunity to continue to flee, the end of the Central Plains War is close at hand.

Especially for Tian Dan, a god-level commander, the easiest time to deal with him is of course when he has the least amount of troops.

If we give the other side another chance and retreat to Runan, we will only make it more difficult for ourselves.

Although Zhao Kuangyin and Tian Dan were almost beaten among the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains, only some remaining defeated soldiers were struggling to hold on. However, the main force of the 80,000 troops in the hands of Tian Ranju in Runan was still intact.

Cutting off the connection between Runan and Zhao Kuangyin is what Li Xiang has been busy with during this period.

After both sides suffered losses in the Xuzhou War, Yuan Chonghuan wanted to intervene. Therefore, he did not follow Liu Bei all the way north to Yanzhou, but instead made plans to go south.

The intention was to tear a gap through Guo Ziyi's troops in Pei State.

After the Battle of Xuzhou, both sides barely had enough soldiers and horses to fight, and only a few elite soldiers and horses of the Guan Ning Cavalry and the White Robe Army were left.

After all, the quality of the soldiers and horses has improved. In all aspects, they are not comparable to those of ordinary soldiers and horses. Although they also suffered heavy casualties, their morale has not reached the point of collapse like ordinary soldiers and horses.

As an excellent commander, Yuan Chonghuan has to say that there is no problem with his ideas, and there is no problem with his strategic vision.

It can be said that he clearly saw the potential crises in the Central Plains battlefield and actually made moves to break the situation.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, many people also saw it, but for various reasons, they pretended not to have seen it.

And people like Zhao Kuangyin, Tian Dan, Miao Xun, Zhao Pu, Wen Zhong, Tian Rangju and others, after seeing it, they didn't act like they didn't see it. However, although they wanted to break the situation, they were helpless.

Even if they wanted to break the situation, they were powerless. There is not enough power in hand to break the situation. Even if there is a better way, it will be useless.

Breaking the situation requires strength, and Li Xiang's soldiers and horses on the Central Plains battlefield are fully pressed forward, and he is even unable to distract the Xuzhou battlefield. Just now, the Xuzhou battlefield was completely handed over to Di Qing and Chen Qingzhi. Li Xiang has invested so much this time, how can he still do it? Will it be possible for these people to mobilize the power to break the situation?

Only Yuan Chonghuan, after the Xuzhou War, saw the potential crisis in the Central Plains battlefield and responded.

However, the opponents Yuan Chonghuan faced were not only Guo Ziyi who led his troops into Pei State, but also Liu Ji and Liu Bowen as military advisors.

Li Xiang is now the best strategist in the world. He is no longer as easy to figure out as he was at the beginning. Moreover, Li Xiang always fights with upright soldiers, and never leaves room for others to scheme against him. Liu Bowen staying with him, not to say it has no effect, but the effect is not that significant.

Next, Guo Ziyi's position is much more important than Li Xiang's. Therefore, Liu Bowen was sent to Guo Ziyi, and Liu Bowen was asked to assist Guo Ziyi in guarding the key position of Pei State, thus cutting off the connection between Zhao Kuangyin and Runan.

Putting Liu Bowen with Guo Ziyi would have a much greater effect than putting him with Li Xiang.

Although Liu Bowen's official position was still higher than that of Guo Ziyi, the wartime situation allowed him to act cheaply. After all, Liu Bowen, as a counselor, cannot be allowed to lead the army instead of Guo Ziyi!

Yuan Chonghuan's soldiers and horses rushed in unexpectedly, intending to kill Guo Ziyi by surprise.

But unexpectedly, he fell into Liu Bowen's plan. Yuan Chonghuan rushed into Zhi County in one breath, thus threatening the sides and rear of the blockade deployed by Guo Ziyi. If necessary, Zhao Kuangyin should be blocked on the other side.

But after he entered the city, he discovered that Zhi County was just an empty city, and there were not many Jin troops in the city.

By the time Yuan Chonghuan realized that he had fallen into the Jin army's plan, it was already too late. Outside the city, Jin soldiers and horses were surrounded from all directions.

The Guan Ning cavalry troops were forcibly trapped in an isolated city by Liu Bowen in this way.

If Guan Ning's cavalry were in a state of complete victory, Yuan Chonghuan would naturally not be afraid of a battle.

But with the current Guan Ning cavalry, a surprise attack is okay. If this is a head-on confrontation with Guo Ziyi, then forget it!

If the current Guan Ning Cavalry were to fight Guo Ziyi head-on, they would definitely lose. It would just be the result of dying early or dying late.

Unexpected sneak attack and frontal resistance are definitely not the same concept.

Just like during the Xuzhou War, if the White Robe Army card is played head-on at the beginning, it will never be able to play its subsequent role. With Liu Bei's strength at the time, if this card was an open card, he had enough cards to limit it.

It was precisely because the white-robed army unexpectedly killed them and played a hidden card that they were able to play their subsequent role.

However, now Yuan Chonghuan does not dare to confront Guo Ziyi head-on, but if he is trapped in the isolated city, it is absolutely impossible.

Yuan Chonghuan himself is a famous general who is good at defense. He uses defense instead of offense, and he plays it clearly.

However, the problem is that Guan Ning's cavalry is not a defensive unit!

Moreover, this is not a suitable place for defense!

As a result, there was naturally no trace of food, grass, and various supplies left in the city. Since Liu Bowen has done this game, he will certainly not make it more difficult for himself.

In today's city, it can be said that you don't have anything you want!

With the current conditions in the city, why should we defend?

Secondly, the other party actually dug this hole for himself. Of course, it is impossible for him to leave no backup in the car!

Today, this city itself is an extremely dangerous place.

If Yuan Chonghuan naively thought that he could defend by relying on this city, then he would be a famous general in vain!
