Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 863 Cao Ang's Behind-the-Scenes Preparations

Back in the early days, Cao Ang at that time had received the news that Yuan Shaojun's senior cadres were going south with the Southern Huns.

Cao Xiu originally had 17 tiger and leopard cavalry under his command. Cao Cao was worried that Cao Ang would not have cavalry available there, so he sent [-] cavalry to Hanoi, and Cao Zhen, Cao Cao's nephew, [-] years old, who had been with the army for five years, ruled him.

Another [-] Xiliang iron cavalry were originally under Zhang Xiu's command. Zhang Xiu was worried about Cao Ang's safety, so he dispatched them, and the ruler was Hu Che'er.

In addition, under Chen Dao's command, there were two thousand heavily armored white scorpion soldiers, and the soldiers wore white felt hats, so they were called white scorpion soldiers.

This group of soldiers was originally trained by Chen Dao according to the camp, but Zhang Xiu saw it later, so he added the training methods of the Feixiong soldiers, so there were only [-] elite soldiers in the army for several years.

At the same time, Zhou Cang was in charge, and there were a thousand personal guards trained after the tiger guards.At the same time, there is also the [-] bow and crossbow troops left behind by Bian Linglong before he was transferred to the navy.There are already [-] elite soldiers in Hanoi County alone, which is enough even if reinforcements are not needed.

Before the battle, Dong Zhaojin, the military adviser, said: "If the information is correct, the main force of the enemy's field battle is [-] Hun cavalry, and then [-] infantry. If the enemy wants to go south, they can't bypass the Taihang Mountains, they can only go through Huguan , Entering from the northwest of Hanoi County. It is still more than ten days away from Huai County.

If we can fortify the walls and clear the field, so that the enemy army cannot get supplies, then when the enemy army arrives in Huai County, they must be exhausted and hungry, and they will be vulnerable to a single blow. "

Cao Ang also planned in this way at first, so he sent people out early, and at the same time, the walls of cities and towns in various places were strengthened and cleared.

But the problem also came to the fore at this time. The county magistrates from all over the country could pretend to surrender when Zhang Yang came over, so the surrender to Cao Ang might not be sincere.Yuan Huan came up for too short a time, and he hasn't been able to communicate well with various places.

Of course, it does not mean communicating with officials from various places, but communicating with rich and powerful families in various places to gain their trust and support.

Therefore, the magistrates of the counties supported the strong walls and clearing the wilderness, allowing the wealthy families below to temporarily migrate to the city, most of them used the excuse of "the family is alive, the family is dead, and the family is dead" and refused to leave.

Compared with the government, most aristocratic families believe in their Wubao more.Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, from Sizhou to Guanzhong, many aristocratic families have been building Wubao, and some Wubao are even unnamed cities.

Seeing that these aristocratic families did not cooperate, Yuan Huan had no choice but to tell Cao Pi: "It seems that there is no way to do it!"

"Military division, what should we do now?" Cao Pi could only find Dong Zhao again, and at the same time, Fu Shou and Sima Fu were responsible for the planning.As the chief bookkeeper in the army, Fu Shou is mainly responsible for the registration and deployment of materials.Sima Fu is the chief historian, mainly responsible for the secretarial work of document exchange.

"The general already has [-] elites, why don't you face the enemy head-on?" Dong Zhao thought for a while, and then gave a suggestion.

"The opponent is the Southern Huns with tens of thousands of cavalry!" Before Cao Ang could speak, Zhou Cang stepped forward directly.

"But they are not elite! The Southern Huns are mainly cavalrymen, men, women, and children, but cavalry and elite soldiers are two concepts. I do not deny that the cavalry of these Southern Huns are good at riding and shooting, but the so-called cavalry is nothing more than It's just riding and shooting.

In particular, the Xiongnu lacked supplies. Most of the cavalry used leather armor, and there were no heavy armor, so the crossbow arrows could be effective.Even bows and arrows can inflict damage if used properly.Use crossbowmen to limit the opponent's speed, use white scorpion soldiers to disrupt the opponent's formation, and then cooperate with Xiliang iron cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry to charge and kill. Naturally, they can defeat the opponent in one battle! "Dong Zhao analyzed.

"The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and it is not foolproof to plan a strategy in advance!" Sima Fu thought for a while, and felt that he still needed a little reminder.

"The main strategy is like this, and there are still many things to consider..." Dong Zhao knew what he meant, and told him that he didn't just talk about it on paper. "After the general policy is determined, then there are partial considerations. For example, construct some Well, for example, arrange some ambushes, such as taking a long way to outflank the opponent's rear, such as... reinforcements from the Liangzhou and Yongzhou legions!"

"Then it seems feasible!" Sima Fu nodded after hearing the words.

"Then start thinking, we don't have much time, at most we only have one day to think, and then three days to perfect and implement!" Cao Ang reminded.

"Yes!" Everyone heard the words and knew that they had to work overtime again.

So after a busy few days, Cao Ang directly led his army into Linli County to garrison, using himself as a bait, and at the same time sent troops to practice the reinforcements from the Yongzhou Army and Liangzhou, and proceeded as planned.

When the beacon fire was lit, a huge column of smoke rose upwards. Such a thick beacon column could be faintly seen even a hundred miles away.So on a certain mountain a hundred miles away, the moment they saw the beacon fire, the soldiers stationed here also lit another beacon pillar, and this happened repeatedly.

"Attack!" In the Taihang Mountains, a cavalry ambushed here quickly dispatched under Huang Zhong's shout.

"Fenghuo is really convenient. It took less than a quarter of an hour to pass it from Linlu County, right?" A civil servant accompanying the army smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that I would have a day when I would make military exploits."

"If we don't hurry up, we may not be able to win the battle." Huang Zhong smiled.

"Then we have to leave quickly." The civil official replied, but he was not in a hurry.Not being able to grab it means that Cao Ang can solve the matter over there, and he doesn't need people like himself as his hole cards.In fact, it would be better for him not to go to the battlefield.

"In retrospect, even if I was with the army... I was only in the Huotou army. After all, I was not a real soldier." The civil official said casually.

"It's just that I didn't expect you to go to Ma Teng's side and give you the identity of the marching master." Huang Zhong joked.

"No way, he said that even if it is his son's man, he can't just be a businessman..." The civil official said helplessly, and his identity was naturally ready to be revealed, and he went to Wenming in Liangzhou.

Taking over the huge border trade market, coupled with Xu Du's share income, he could have been a family man.But Ma Teng was unwilling, so he could only obediently enter the army for Ma Tie's sake.Fortunately, he had been in the military camp with Wang Yong before, so he was not too unfamiliar, and he could get started soon.

On the other side, Le Jinbu, who also received the order, began to gear up, planning to make a big fuss.

"Zi, don't be so excited, be careful." Li Dian next to him stepped forward to persuade him.

"I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time. I've been garrisoning one side or something, but I'm so idle! I also want to say, if after a period of time, if I haven't played a mission yet, I might as well have a second child..." Le Jin He looked at Li Dian with great interest.

"Then after the beating..." Li Dian thought for a while, but before he finished speaking, Le Jin stepped forward and covered his mouth.

"Have you forgotten what was written in the newspaper? That "The Banner That Cannot Be Set Up in Life"!" Le Jin said full of resentment.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong..." Li Dian hurriedly apologized, how could he, a gentleman, go to the gossip column.
