Vol 2 Chapter 563: Cao Shuang sent troops

After a night of autumn rain, the entire Central Plains began to cool down. The coolness in the air was not too heavy, but it made people feel refreshed.
Runan, Yang'an, through Xu Huang's mobilization of soldiers and horses in Xingyang's big fanfare, secretly gathered a full army of 70,000 troops, in addition, there are 60,000 troops on the way.
In order to follow the strategy of Sima Yi, Cao Rui captured Nanyang in World War I, but invested a lot of money. Not only did he mobilize 70,000 Jizhou troops, as Sun Quan began his offensive against Jingzhou, he stationed soldiers and horses around Shouchun It was also transferred back, but there is a lot of equipment obtained from Sun Quan.
In Sima Yi's account, Sima Yi sighed while watching the news from all parties.
"Why did my father sigh?" The two young men came in. It was the two sons of Sima Yi, the eldest son Sima Yi, and the second son Sima Zhao. Seeing Sima Yi sighed, he asked with some doubts.
"I'm afraid this is a failure." Sima Yi sighed.
Sima Zhao carefully calculated, and it was true that the Jiaozhou Shijia had just been beaten, and was returned by Meng Huo. There was no more sound. The mountains on the south did not become a climate, and the Qiang people on the west not only did not make merits, but did Zhao Yun ’s As for the reputation, as far as the South Huns are concerned, it has not yet fought, but Liu Yi ran there to build the Great Wall and promote the farms, and the construction was booming. This road is the most invisible, but there is Liu Yi is there, and it is basically impossible for the Huns to cause any trouble to the hypocrite.
"Father, I haven't expected them to be of any use before, the most is to restrain the pseudo-han forces." Sima Shi smiled.
"I'm not talking about this." Sima Yi shook his head and handed over several battle reports to Sima Shidao: "This is the latest battle report. Please take a look."
In the latest battle report, there was Luoyang. Xu Huang ’s soldiers attacked the Xuanmenguan. The two sides fought for three days under Xuanmenguan, and finally led Guan Ping to appear near Xingyang. Xu Huang worried that Xingyang would lose and had to withdraw his troops, but What Guan Ping brought was just a partial teacher. After going around Xingyang, he quickly returned to Hulaoguan.
If Guan Ping did not appear in Xingyang, Xu Huang had to withdraw his troops. I am afraid that the turnstile pass would be able to break through. Xu Huang ’s army could directly bypass the Hu prison and directly enter the Heluo hinterland, which is good news.
In addition, Sun Quansan Road's army attacked Jingzhou and also occupied several cities. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yi with some puzzles: "Father, isn't this good news?"
At least in the current battlefield, Wei Jun and Soochow have gained certain advantages.
"Good news?" Sima Yi looked up and looked at the two sons, frowning.
"Uh ..." Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were a little puzzled. Looking at the bamboo slips carefully, it was indeed good news. Sima Shi frowned: "Could there still be a mystery?"
Sima Yi shook his head and said: "What is recorded above this battle report is indeed good news, but the things behind this battle report, you two failed to see."
"Please ask my father to teach." Sima Shi and Sima Zhao quickly bowed.
"The reinforcements of the hypocrite have never appeared!" Sima Yi sighed and clicked on the map, saying: "Luoyang is only 50,000 defenders, and it has to be guarded everywhere. Xu Huang leads 70,000 troops to Xingyang, as well as Hedong and Hanoi. The possible enemies are ignored by the hypocrite and there is no support action. "
To know that the offense and defense are different. It sounds that there are 50,000 troops in the Heluo Land, but Xu Huang has only 70,000. The two sides are similar, plus the benefit of the armor of the puppet Han, it is easier to defend the city.
But the war is not counted as such. The hypocrite has good grounds and good armor, but as the defender, they are not defending a city, but the whole land of Heluo. Now Cao Wei wants to send troops to attack this area and can send troops. There are many places. In addition to the Hangu Pass, other levels can be used as the direction of the Wei Jun ’s attack. Sima Yi has studied the fortifications of the hypocrite, and he can be said to be leak-proof, but it is precisely because of this that every place must divide troops. In this case, setting up defenses everywhere means that troops need to be stationed everywhere, which seems to be dripping, but in fact, if the troops are insufficient, it is easy for the opponent to force a breakthrough and cause the entire front to collapse.
It is impossible for the pseudo-han talents to see this, but it has been months since Xu Huang appeared in Xingyang, but the pseudo-han hasn't moved, which is wrong.
"Let's talk about the Jingxiang battle again!" Sima Yi pointed to Jingxiang area again: "Sun Quansan sent troops and the number of soldiers and horses was more than one hundred thousand. According to these years of investigation, the Jingxiang defensive army should be between 50,000 and 80,000. What's more, the Jiangdong naval forces have won the best of the three countries. Even so, they have never seen the puppet men have rescuers to rescue them! "
"Father meant that the hypocrite had seen through my military strategy?" Sima Zhaowen said with a stern look.
"Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan are all wise men in the world!" Sima Yi nodded and said, "It's not surprising that he will be seen through."
Regarding this point, Sima Yi was very open and had no special emotions. Sometimes it was not necessary to compare with others. In his life, he was mostly repressed. He had already trained a gritty heart. Any Things are hard to make him have too much trouble.
Now it is just a sigh of Liu Bei's good luck, there are so many talents to help.
"But now I am gathering here for the 200,000 troops, so I'll retire?" Sima Zhao puzzled.
"Just if I want to retreat, General Cao can't retreat. The 200,000 army has spent all his effort to gather here. How can I easily retreat?" Sima Yi shook his head, and now the preliminary preparations are ready, and 200,000 troops are gathered here How can you easily retreat when the arrow has to be sent on the string?
Not to mention Cao Shuang's reluctance, Sun Quan, who has already started fighting, may also be in trouble. If the army is withdrawn at this time, it is equivalent to selling Sun Quan. This time Sun Quan has sent troops, but he has carried the infamy of abandoning the covenant. Sun Quan will immediately serve the hypocrite and turn his face.
No matter from which point of view, this troop dispatch is a must.
"It may not have no advantage," Sima Shi thought. "Even if the hypocrite sees our army's intentions, it may not be able to determine where our army sent troops."
Sima Yi nodded his head, which was similar to his own thoughts. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were n’t gods anymore, and this was the site of the Great Wei. At the beginning of the plan, they had blocked all major routes to Handi. A comprehensive investigation was carried out in the territory of Dawei, and in order to ensure the concealment of the operation, this time the troops were dispatched by dozens of routes, and almost all the cities from Yecheng to Runan were gathered before the soldiers and horses were gathered here unless In the case of internal traitors, otherwise Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang would not be able to know the exact direction of troops sent here.
"Three generals, the marshal invited three to discuss military matters." A school captain came out of the tent and bowed.
"The general will go, I'll be there later." Sima Yi nodded and said to the captain.
"Well!" The captain intervened, bowed and retreated, and he had other generals to notify.
"Remember, what I said before, I have to mention it in front of everyone. The current situation is good for my morale. If I say it, it will shake the military's heart. I will wait until the captain leaves." After that, Sima Yi looked at the two sons and said in a deep voice.
"Father rest assured." Sima Shi and Sima Zhao nodded, expressing their understanding that at this time, whether it was the direction of Xingyang or Jiangdong, there was good news again and again. If they told what they guessed, the battle would still be fought, and nothing could change. But it will also dampen morale. At this time, it is not when you are smart. Smart people should know when to tell the truth and when they need to hide the truth.
The father and son simply packed up and went to the handsome account.
Cao Shuang has gathered all the generals, seeing the father and son of Sima Yi coming up, smiling and standing up to meet him: "General, the detectives have already obtained information, and the craftsmen have done a map of this area, and the Han army's defense sand table in Nanyang has been done. Please see. "
In the center of the large account, a huge sand table was placed in the center. Cao Zhen brought Sima Yi over and smiled: "After the battle of Nanyang, Liu Boyuan built a great wall of twenty miles in the area around the city to protect our army and me. I have personally seen it, the city wall is more than three feet tall, there is an enemy building every 100 steps, there are arrow towers on the top, and there are beacon towers around. If our army arrives, the Han army must know the news in advance. "
Sima Yi nodded, the original road was divided by Liu Yi and the Nanyang County, and the population of Nanyang in Ye County and Father City has been moved to the west of the city in recent years. This original road has become a condemnation. However, it is not difficult to attack the Great Wall in more than 20 miles. According to Sima Yi ’s plan, although the Great Wall in more than 20 miles is strong, but the other party needs a lot of soldiers to defend this point, and the army can also apply here. Unfolding, a serious attack in the past, this is that the fighting force is consumed, at this point, Da Wei has an advantage ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But to enter Nanyang, there is more than one place. "Cao Shuang continued to laugh:" I can walk through the Baidu Mountain and wait for Wuyin directly, or I can go to Langcheng to attack the stone city, and then go to Biyang. In this way, the place of Nanyang will let our army gallop , Bing can retake Nanyang in one battle. "
Sima Yi looked at the two routes pointed out by Cao Shuang. Obviously Cao Shuang worked hard this time. He may even go to explore the terrain in person and make a lot of preparations. But the Nanyang defense Liu Yi left behind was not only that 20. In the Great Wall, there are also defensive structures in these places, and the terrain is more dangerous than the Great Wall. If the defending force is strong, it may be blocked there.
But Cao Shuang's plan can't be wrong. If the Han army is relatively lax on these two roads, it may not be impossible to go down in a battle, but it is a bit risky after all.
After thinking for a while, Sima Yi pointed to the direction of the Great Wall and looked at Cao Shuang: "The general's plan is very good, but can the general be able to divide a group of people to appear in the Great Wall to attract the attention of the Han Army and bring the main force of the Han Army to this? At this point, our army can enter while taking advantage of it, making it easier to penetrate. "
Cao Shuang ’s plan is based on the fact that the pseudo-han did not have any precautions, but this probability is not high. For the sake of insurance, Sima Yi still decided to attack the Great Wall with a team of people, so that no matter how the Han army responds, they can use the Han army. Changes in the adjustment of military strength can be made into reality at any time, and can also be turned into reality.
Cao Shuang Wenyan thought for a while and said, "Zhongda's words are also quite reasonable. Since that is the case, Wang Shuang!"
"The last will be there!" A burly general stepped out and greeted Cao Shuang.
"Fate you to lead a ten thousand step ride to fight against the Great Wall. If the thief is strong, you can't touch it hard. If the defense is weak, you can take advantage of it."
"Lord Commander!"
Ten thousand?
Sima Yi took a look at Cao Shuang, and finally refrained from persuading.
