Soldiers come to the world

Cheng Yu stared at the map on the table, and said for a while, "We should face the reality. Liu Jing has been plotting for Xu Du for a long time, and he has already set up a big net. Now it's time for him to close the net. Even if we send troops overnight to rescue Xu Du, it will be too late. , Xu will be lost without a doubt.”

Cao Pi's face is pale, Xu is their place of prosperity, once Xu is lost, the blow to the entire Cao Wei is too great, the consequences may be unimaginable, especially Xiahou Dun's strong backlash, and he can't hold him down, what will happen, Cao Pi simply Don't dare to think about it anymore.

Cheng Yu sighed, "No one is willing to face this result, but if we continue to be immersed in the grief of losing Xu Du, we will suffer even greater blows."

Cao Pi was startled, "What does the military division mean?"

"It's very simple. Liu Jing's layout has always been interlocking. If you don't move, you will be fine. If you move, you will affect your whole body. Seizing Xudu is only his first step. Soon his second step will be implemented. Ruoshizi If we are not prepared, we will soon be in the same situation where we are helpless today."

"Where does the military adviser think Liu Jing's second goal will be?"

Cheng Yu said slowly: "I think his second goal is most likely Xuzhou. To capture Xuzhou and integrate Xu and Yu, the entire Central Plains will be captured by the Han army. This is the best strategy. Although Liu Jing's tactics are changeable , but the strategy never takes a slant, and it can be inferred from some clues, for example, he inspected Shouchun and Huaihe in March, but he never inspected Pujin Pass and Tongguan, which shows that he Emphasis on the front line of Shouchun."

"The military division's suggestion is to increase troops in Xuzhou?"

Cheng Yu nodded, "You can send Zhang Liao to lead the Youzhou army to reinforce, or you can send Cao Xiu to lead the Qingzhou army to the south for reinforcements. Both options are good. Your Highness can consider them as a whole."

After a pause, Cheng Yu said solemnly again: "Our crisis is not in the Han army, but in the interior. Don't you feel that we are very passive now?"

Cao Pi could understand Cheng Yu's meaning. This time the Han army aggressively attacked Cao Wei, they were indeed very passive. Although they had made a lot of preparations before, for some reason, when the Han army attacked, they seemed to be unprepared for anything. Passive, which made Cao Pi feel a little strange.

"What do you think is the reason?"

Cheng Yu sighed and said: "In the past when we fought against the Han army, it was Duke Wei's overall consideration, dispatching troops and generals, and sending out military orders every day. Now that Duke Wei is seriously ill, Cao's army lacks a commander. The army without a commander, the following Of course people don’t know what to do, and it’s inevitable to be passive everywhere.”

Cao Pi understood, "Does the military adviser mean that I should stand up and replace my father as the commander-in-chief of the three armies?"

"Your Majesty has obtained the Tiger Talisman and the Golden Command Arrow, so what else is there to worry about?"

Cao Pi nodded. Cheng Yu was right. His father gave him the Tiger Talisman and Command Arrow, so that he could become Cao Jun's commander. At this moment, Cao Pi made up his mind.

The next day, Cao Pi officially announced to the government and the public that his father had appointed him as a general to command the three armies of Cao Wei. Rush to Xudu for rescue.

At the same time, Yu Jin was ordered to obey Cao Ren's order, and Cao Ren was ordered to take back Chengfu County and keep Xuzhou. In addition, Cao Xiu, the governor of Qingzhou, was ordered to lead [-] troops to Xuzhou to obey Cao Ren's military order.

Under Cao Pi's series of orders, the 30 Cao army finally began to operate, and the Central Plains war between the Cao and Han armies was imminent.

. . . . . . . . .

After the main force of the Han army went south from Luoyang, it took the lead in capturing Xiangcheng, which enabled the Han army to obtain food supplies. Next, the main force of the Han army did not attack Xuchang immediately, but waited for news from Kunyang County.

At this time, 5000 troops led by Wenpin were confronting Kunyang County, and with the [-] troops led by Zhao Yun, [-] troops besieged a small Kunyang County. It is tall and strong, and all the people in the city have already been evacuated. General Cao Jun Li Dian led [-] people to guard it.

Li Dian was originally the defender of Ye County. Yecheng fell and was captured by the Han army, and was released by Liu Jing himself. It was for this reason that Li Dian was always ignored by Cao Zhen. He was demoted to the rank of captain, and sent his confidants to monitor Li Dian's every move.

On the top of Kunyang City, soldiers of Cao Army under the command of Li Dian are nervously deploying defenses, carrying bundles of arrows and loads of sand to the top of the city. The sand is used to deal with kerosene and can extinguish the Han army in time. Throw oil from the city, and boulders and logs.

In addition, forty heavy-duty catapults and [-] bed crossbows were installed at the city head of Kunyang. The catapults were distributed on all sides of the city. The Han army killed him and cut off his retreat, making Kunyang and Xuchang each an isolated city.

Xuchang has only [-] troops. If Cao Zhen can defend the city, Xuchang will undoubtedly lose. The Han army will occupy the entire Yuzhou in one go.

In addition, Li Dian also got the news that Wei Gong's time is running out, Cao Pi will be in charge, and Li Dian is even less optimistic about Cao Pi. He is narrow-minded and has no room for others. Because Xiahou Dun and Cao Zhi had a good relationship, they were deprived of military power. How could such a person defeat Liu Jing.

Thinking of Liu Jing, Li Dian also thought of being captured by the Han army twice, and it was Liu Jing who released him back. Li Dian couldn't help but let out a long sigh with such a magnanimous heart and such a demeanor of ruling the world.

"What is Lieutenant Li sighing about?" A thin voice suddenly came from behind, and a trace of disgust flashed in Li Dian's eyes.

Li Dian turned around, and saw a scribe in his forties standing behind him. This person was called Cheng Liang, who was Cao Zhen's aide, and the current Sima of Kunyang. It is up to him to monitor Li Dian's every move, and to control all the food and supplies in Kunyang, as well as the soldiers' promotion and rewards.

Although Cheng Liang was only a scribe, he had four confidant generals, each with 2000 soldiers, which made Cheng Liang control an army of 8000, surpassing Li Dian. In fact, he was the real chief of Kunyang County.

Cheng Liang was narrow-minded and cruel, and he could tell from his addressing Li Dian as Colonel Li that he was mean. He walked forward slowly, and said with a fake smile: "Is Captain Li here?" Thinking about your own future, should you regret doing things like this?"

Li Dian snorted coldly, ignored him, turned around and walked down the city, Cheng Liang saw that he was rude, felt annoyed in his heart, and raised his voice: "Lieutenant Li, let me warn you first, don't think wildly, otherwise I have the right Dismiss you from military service!"

He held up a command arrow, which was given to Cheng Liang by Cao Zhen. If Li Dian resisted passively, Cheng Liang could dismiss him on the spot and deprive him of his military post. If Li Dian disagreed, Cheng Liang could even kill him.

Li Dian stopped in his tracks, the anger in his heart finally made him unbearable, he turned his head and said slowly: "What are you? When I, Li Dian, roamed the Central Plains, where were you?"

Li Dian snorted heavily, turned around and strode away, Cheng Liang's face was livid, and he slowly gritted his teeth and said, "Li Dian, I must kill you!"

At this moment, cheers suddenly erupted in the Han army camp in the distance. Cao Jun soldiers at the top of the city didn't know what to do, and rushed to the battlements to look at the Han army camp. Even Cheng Liang looked at the Han camp in surprise , he faintly heard Han soldiers shouting long live, could it be

The change in the Han army camp was because Han Wang Liu Jing appeared in the barracks, which made tens of thousands of Han soldiers extremely happy, and they couldn't help bursting into cheers.

Liu Jing had just arrived at the camp of the Han army. Although he was in Chang'an in name and commanded various armies to attack Cao Wei, that was just a way to confuse the Cao army, making Cao army mistakenly think that the Han army was attacking at various points, so they couldn't guess. To the real strategic intention of the Han army.

So far, all the signs indicate that Han Wang Liu Jing is still in Chang'an, but in fact, he quietly left Chang'an three days ago and rushed all the way to Nanyang.

Seeing that Xuchang is about to seize the city, a historic moment is approaching, how could Liu Jing still sit in Chang'an, he wants to personally boost morale and inspire the army.

Liu Jing walked into the tent of the Chinese army amid the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers. Wen Pin and Prime Minister Pang Tong came forward to greet him. Liu Jing asked everyone to take their seats, and then smiled at Pang Tong: "How does it feel for Pang Xiangguo to be a military advisor again?"

Pang Tong chuckled, "So far, he has not been able to play the role of a military adviser."

His sentence is a bit ambiguous. He means that there is nothing to do now, but it is easy for people to mistake him for being suppressed.

Wenpin next to him quickly said: "Pang Xiangguo is too modest. Since Pang Xiangguo arrived, he has organized the Nanyang army in an orderly manner and greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the army. This is an indelible fact."

Liu Jing smiled, put down the topic, and asked Wen Pin again: "How about the attack on Kunyang County?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, according to His Highness's deployment, I did not launch a large-scale attack on Kunyang County, but only two small-scale sieges, basically without any losses. I got the news that General Zhao led [-] main forces to kill Kunyang County last night. Xiangcheng, the defender of Xiangcheng has surrendered, Kunyang has become an isolated city, and we can launch a large-scale attack on Kunyang."

Liu Jing nodded, then asked Pang Tong, "What does the military advisor mean?"

Pang Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The chief general of Kunyang County is Li Dian, who has always been a loyal person, but he was suppressed by Cao Zhen and demoted to the rank of captain, and Cao Zhen even sent his confidants to monitor him. Since Kunyang is at your fingertips, why bother to attack the city with wounded soldiers and generals?"

Wen Pin blushed, and asked, "I don't know what clever plan Mister has?"

Pang Tong almost whispered, Liu Jing laughed, "Going to fight against the army, this is my intention to let Xiangguo serve as a military adviser again."
