Chapter 2791 Using Banxuan as a hunter, Xuchang’s offensive and defensive battle

Chapter 2787: Using Banxuan as a hunter, Xuchang’s offensive and defensive battle

That's right, the person who sent Li Xiaoyao to rescue Ye Dingzhi was Guo Jia, and the person who sent the assassin to kill Ye Dingzhi was also Guo Jia.

The reason why Guo Jia sent people to kill Ye Dingzhi and rescue Ye Dingzhi at the same time was naturally to frame the blame and mislead Ye Dingzhi, making him think that it was someone from the Three Kingdoms Alliance who was pulling the magic door.

 Cao Wei has many wise men. Fan Li, Xun You, and even Guo Jia must be taken seriously. If they want to draw the devil's attention with their strategies, there are many conspiracies and tricks to sow discord.

If the opponent makes a plan and Guo Jia breaks it, that would be too passive.

Besides, if you can only commit a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?

 Guo Jia calculated that if Cao Wei jumped over the wall in a hurry, he would drag the demon gate into the water sooner or later, in order to relieve the pressure on the battlefield, so he designed this way of stealing from the prison.

After all, under the current situation, Da Qin has no reason to assassinate Ye Dingzhi, because that will only actively push the Demon Sect to the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Once Ye Dingzhi is really assassinated, there is a high probability that it will only be done by Cao Wei. , so Guo Jia did the opposite.

In order to make this assassination more realistic, Guo Jia did not mobilize Taishan Black Ice Platform. Instead, he mobilized people from Langya, Jibei, and Lujun, the three counties surrounding Mount Tai, and dispatched four masters and five masters. Half-step master, ten super first-class swordsmen, and more than thirty first-class assassins.

There are nearly a hundred people in the entire assassin group, and the weakest one is even second-rate. Coupled with specialized equipment and early ambushes, this lineup is enough to kill the half-step grand master.

It is precisely because Guo Jia's lineup is strong enough and Li Xiaoyao's rescue operation is not easy, that this self-directed and self-acted scene is even more realistic.

But after all, Ye Dingzhi is one of the few smart people in the Demon Sect. Under Guo Jia's layer-by-layer layout, even if he was 90% convinced, he still harbored 10% doubts, and even guessed that Da Qin was there. Possibly intentional.

 But this is precisely the sophistication and brilliance of Guo Jia's plan.

If Ye Dingzhi thought it was Cao Wei who assassinated him, he would definitely report it and take strict precautions to prevent the Demon Sect from being dragged into the water by Cao Wei.

If Ye Dingzhi thought it was Da Qin Qian, he would definitely be able to guess that Guo Jia's intention was not to kill him, but to make him more vigilant against the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces. Then he would still be on guard against the Demon Sect being dragged into the water.

Guo Jia actually didn't care about Ye Dingzhi discovering the truth, because whether he discovered it or not, his goal had been achieved, but he didn't expect Xun You to give him an assist.

Ye Dingzhi had just arrived at the Ming camp when Niu Ruyi died. This made Ye Dingzhi believe that Cao Wei had done the previous assassination, and cleared most of the suspicion that Da Qin had directed and acted on his own.

 Guo Jia's plan not only alerted the Demon Sect, but also did not expose himself, which was just right for Da Qin. If he continued to act, it would be superfluous and the gain would not be worth the loss.

With things at this point, Guo Jia is naturally very confident that the Demon Sect will not be dragged into the water by Cao Wei, but after all, nothing is absolute, and the only variable in this matter is Niu Hong.

Niu Hong, like Ye Dingzhi, is the grandson of the ancestor of Styx, and one of the few people who can influence Styx.

Niu Hong now hates Da Qin so much that he is so stubborn that he won't even listen to his own parents, so Guo Jia is worried about whether this giant baby who has not grown up will cause any other troubles.

Of course, whether Niu Hong is honest or not, it has nothing to do with Guo Jia.

 In order to prevent the Demon Sect from being dragged into the water, Guo Jia has done everything he can and has done everything he can and must do. He has done his utmost benevolence and justice.

If the Demon Sect is still stubborn and dares to end up as the enemy of Great Qin, then Great Qin will naturally not be lenient. After all, Great Qin's swords are not sharpened in vain, and they will let this group of rabble know what a regular army is.

“Come here, **** me to Yingyin immediately.” Guo Jia ordered calmly.

Among the three major battlefields in Yanzhou, the Battle of Yingchuan is progressing the fastest, and Yingchuan is divided into two major battlefields.

Han Xin blocked Zhao She's 30,000 Song Dynasty soldiers in the south, while Ying Hao led the remaining troops to attack Xuchang in the north. Yingyin City, eighty miles away from Xuchang, became another headquarters of the Qin army.

Yingyin City is not far from Yangzhai. Guo Jia worked hard and arrived in just one day. Then he reported his plan against the Demon Sect and the war on the northern front to Ying Hao.

After Ying Hao heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought. In fact, he actually hoped that the Demon Sect would take the initiative. There are three reasons:

First, the Qin Dynasty could not allow the Demon Sect to wreak havoc in the place like the Wei, Song, and Ming dynasties. Only by clearing the Demon Sect forces out of the Central Plains could the Great Qin truly occupy this land.

 Second, if the Demon Sect takes the initiative, Da Qin will be able to clean up the Central Plains cleanly, instead of having to deal with the trouble of clearing up the disaster bit by bit later.

 Third, after killing Styx, Kunpeng, and Kuigang, the system will give rewards related to ascension.

It is precisely because of these three points that Ying Hao will attack the Demon Sect regardless of whether it will end or not.

 There are three reasons why Ying Hao later changed his mind:

 First, the Qin Dynasty is currently at war with the Three Kingdoms, and it is really not suitable to lure the Demon Sect forces to the end, because this will definitely disperse the power of the Qin army and delay the process of the Qin Dynasty's unification of the Central Plains.

The smartest and most labor-saving way is to deal with Wei, Song and Ming first, and then deal with the Demon Sect later. The second is that Ying Hao needs to take into account the opinions of the semi-mysterious experts in his own camp.

Ming He, Kun Peng, and Kui Gang have already given in, and even took the initiative to show their favor to Great Qin. If Ying Hao still wants to kill them aggressively, Ying Long, Jiang Chen, and Hong Yun may not think much about it, but Tai Yi, Shang Qing, and Yu Will Qing be so sad that Ying Hao will treat them like this in the future?

Thirdly, among the three Xuan-level powerhouses of the Demon Sect, only Minghe has broken through to the Half-Xuan level, while Kunpeng and Kuigang are only quasi-Half-Xuan.

Styx, Kunpeng, and Kuigang all advance and retreat together. To deal with any one of them is to make them enemies.

Ying Hao was not afraid that the three of them would fight to the death and Great Qin would have to pay an unbearable price, but that killing the three of them now would not maximize the benefits.

It is precisely because of these three points that Ying Hao chose to boil the frog in warm water, first with the Demon Sect, and after the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming were completely destroyed, he would then liquidate the Demon Sect, then the Styx, and finally after breaking through the Banxuan Kunpeng and Qui-Gon.

Ming He thought that by giving up the Demon Sect and even accepting Jia Fu as his disciple, he would be able to establish a good relationship with Great Qin, but in fact, except for the Great Qin camp, all the semi-mysterious strongmen were just prey to be slaughtered in Ying Hao's eyes. .

Therefore, no matter whether these semi-mysterious masters offend Da Qin or not, they will not take the initiative to provoke Ying Hao. Even if they hide honestly, Ying Hao will bring people to find them and kill them one by one in the future, because their lives It is related to the future safety of Ying Hao and his relatives and friends after they ascend.

Of course, Ying Hao is a person who values ​​emotion and face. If Ming He can really let go of himself, join and serve Da Qin, then Ying Hao will not be able to remove him from the must-kill list.

But this is obviously impossible. After all, the strong have the dignity of the strong, let alone the unruly and lawless people in the Demon Sect?

It was precisely because Ying Hao knew this that he had no hope from the beginning. However, in order to take into account the opinions of Shangqing, Yuqing and others, he still had to give him a chance to survive. As for whether the three men of Minghe could grasp it If they live there, it’s up to them.

 So, in Ying Hao's opinion, Guo Jia's various measures were all done right, and there was basically no fault to be found.

"Fengxiao, let's stop here for the Demon Sect. I, Da Qin, have shown enough sincerity. If the Demon Sect still dares to be my enemy, then they are seeking death. Although I, Da Qin, don't want people to live in ruins, I will not let them. Use this as a threat.”

After saying that, Ying Hao looked at the sand table in front of him and said in a deep voice: "The first priority is to break through Xuchang. Once Xuchang is broken, Cao Wei will be defeated on three fronts. Even if Cao Cao is unwilling, he will have to give up Chen Liu and Dongjun." , our army’s pursuit will easily occupy the western part of Yanzhou, and even the entire Wei State.”

But Guo Jia shook his head and said: "My lord, the key to victory in the Central Plains War has never been how much land was occupied or how many cities were captured, but the effective force to destroy the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming.

If you capture Xuchang now, you can indeed seize a large territory in a short period of time, but it will be difficult to annihilate all the Wei troops. Cao Cao and Le Yi will lead their troops to withdraw eastward and rely on the eastern cities to continue resistance.

It's better to wait a little while in Xuchang first, and wait until General Bai Qi defeats Baima and Puyang, and moves south to Jiyin Army to block Cao Cao's eastward retreat, then our army will be able to completely wipe out Cao Wei's troops on the western front.

 At that time, even if Cao Cao and other senior officials of Cao Wei escape, they will not have enough troops and will not be able to continue to compete with our army. "

"Of course I know that this can maximize the benefits, but with Lan Yu's 40,000 Ming army arriving in Dongjun, the battle situation in Dongjun on the northern front has temporarily reached a stalemate. Bai Qi has no sign of breaking through Baima and Puyang yet. How about we Let’s attack Xuchang first and then completely open up the situation on the southern front,” Ying Hao said.

"But once Xuchang is captured, Cao Cao will definitely retreat immediately. And if we send troops from Xuchang, we can only attack Chenliu, but we can't bypass Jiyin. We can't keep all Cao Cao's troops in the middle line. Only Bai Qi can capture Dongjun before he can go south to Jiyin." Yin, thus cutting off Cao Cao's retreat."

Hearing what Guo Jia said, Ying Hao sighed: "How can everything be done in a war? Even if the Wei army on the western front cannot be completely wiped out, as long as sixty-seven out of ten can be eliminated, the remaining Cao Wei army can retreat to the east. , and it is destined not to pose much of a threat to our army, it just takes more time."

 Guo Jia knew that what Ying Hao said was right, but after thinking about it again and again, he still said: "My lord, the war in the Central Plains has only started two months ago. Jia believes that our army can fight steadily and there is no need to be so hasty.

Moreover, with General Bai Qi's ability, it will only be a matter of time before Baima Puyang is defeated. Let's slow down in Xuchang first and give General Bai Qi some time. "

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Ying Hao nodded unconsciously. He still had great confidence in Bai Qi. After all, Bai Qi had never betrayed his trust.

"Well, let's not rush to capture Xuchang now, but we still need to make preparations before breaking the city, and some troubles should be cleared up." Ying Hao said calmly.

As the old capital of Cao Wei, Xuchang is definitely one of the top three fortified cities in the Central Plains, with stronger defenses than Guandu, Chenliu, Baima, and Puyang.

 But in Ying Hao’s eyes, Xuchang City is always available for three reasons:

 First, the defenders in Xuchang City were mostly defeated troops who had escaped from Yangdi and Kunyang.

They have been defeated once or even multiple times by the Qin army. Their morale is low, and some of them have been frightened. It is obviously difficult to bring out the defensive power of the strong city of Xuchang.

 Second, Xuchang is a city that Da Qin has focused on infiltrating. Naturally, there are internal agents deployed by Da Qin in advance in the city, and there are quite a few of them, enough to create chaos in the city and even possibly seize the door.

 Thirdly, Chen Gong, one of the five great military advisors of Cao Wei, was also the internal correspondent of Great Qin.

Any one of these three will allow Great Qin to conquer Xuchang, let alone three?

 So in Ying Hao's eyes, Xu Changcai can be captured at any time.

Of course, for the sake of the overall war situation, Ying Hao still adopted Guo Jia's advice and prepared to wait outside Xuchang City to clear up the trouble and give Bai Qi some time.

 As for what other troubles Xuchang still has? For the Qin army, the biggest trouble is undoubtedly Yuan Jiuling.
