Hanzhong, the Prefect¡¯s Mansion.
Liu Bei was like an ant on a hot pot, walking around in the meeting hall.
Some time ago, Cao Cao issued a revolt and planned to attack Hanzhong, but Liu Bei did not take it seriously.
When Cao Cao came to attack Xuzhou, Liu Bei was very panicked because Xuzhou was the place where the Fourth War was fought. In Runan, Cao Cao came to attack, and Liu Bei had to flee to Jingzhou, because Runan was not his foundation and could not be defended at all. In Xinye, Cao Cao led his army to attack, and Liu Bei had to flee because the city of Xinye was too small to stop Cao Cao's army.
But now, Hanzhong is different. Yang'an Pass, Wakou Pass, and Dingjun Mountain are all dangerous passes, and Nanzheng City is tall and strong. He is fully confident to defend Hanzhong.
But he never expected that Liu Zhang, who was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, would not only not help him, but would actually help the Cao thief!
If Hanzhong is attacked from two sides, it will be difficult to defend it.
"Liu Zhang, you are so short-sighted, don't you even understand the meaning of death and coldness of lips and teeth?" Whenever Liu Zhang was mentioned in the past two days, Liu Bei was filled with infinite anger.
Liu Bei had no choice but to summon the reigning generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as Zhuge Liang, Yan Pu, Zhang Lu, Yang Song, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others to the Prefect's Mansion to discuss countermeasures.
In the afternoon, everyone came to the prefect¡¯s mansion one after another.
"Everyone, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang are going to send troops to attack Hanzhong at the same time. In order to save the people of Hanzhong from the suffering of war and the scourge of slavery, I wonder if we have any good strategies to retreat from the enemy?" Liu Bei did not hesitate to say it straight to the point.
"Brother, don't worry, give me a team of soldiers and horses, and I will definitely defeat Cao Cao's thieves!" Zhang Fei was the first to shout, "In Changbanpo, I alone drove hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops back! "
"General Zhang is indeed brave, but don't forget that we have Liu Zhang behind us!" Yang Song looked at Zhang Fei and said disdainfully.
After he joined Liu Bei, his life was not comfortable. He thought that Liu Bei could win Hanzhong, and he should be the first to do so. However, he did not expect that his status could not be compared to Yan Pu. What's more, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei never looked at him.
"Hmph! What about Liu Zhang? Liu Zhang sends troops, I will stop him!" Guan Yu opened his eyes slightly, which made Yang Song shiver involuntarily and did not dare to speak anymore.
"Two generals, although Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can't stop Cao Cao and Liu Zhang from attacking from both sides!" Yan Pu said worriedly.
"Don't try to inflate other people's ambitions and destroy our prestige!" Zhang Fei was unhappy after hearing Yan Pu's words and said angrily.
"Yide, don't be rude to Yan Changshi!" Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei, who did not dare to speak anymore, "What Yan Changshi said is true. At this time, Hanzhong has reached a critical moment. I don't know what Yan Changshi said." Do you have any clever ideas?"
Seeing Liu Bei scolding Zhang Fei, Yang Song felt extremely uncomfortable. Why didn't Liu Bei say anything when Guan Yu gave him a look just now? It seems that Liu Bei is really ungrateful!
"My lord, Cao Cao has two ways to send troops, either Ziwu Valley or Xie Valley. As long as one general is sent to Baocheng and Ziwukou, they can be blocked!"
Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, then shook his head, "Yan Changshi is right, it's just that you will lose if you defend for a long time!"
"Don't worry, my lord, I have a plan to solve the crisis in Hanzhong!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently and said calmly.
"If Kong Ming has any clever ideas, tell me quickly!" Liu Bei asked hurriedly when he heard that Zhuge Liang had a solution.
"Fight with Liu Zhang in the south and reject Cao Cao in the north!" Zhuge Liang looked at everyone and talked eloquently, "There is only one county in Hanzhong, which is not enough to fight against Cao Cao and Liu Zhang at the same time. We can only build a gate to the south and send troops to the north! This is also Our general direction in the future!¡±
"But Kong Ming, will Liu Zhang form an alliance with us?" Liu Bei was a little disappointed. He also thought about this method, but he felt that it would not work.
"Liu Zhang will not form an alliance with us for the time being, but he will not send troops rashly!" Zhuge Liang seemed very confident. "He wants to wait and see and see Cao Cao's situation. If Cao Cao can quickly reach Nanzheng City, then Liu Zhang will definitely send troops." As long as we block Cao Cao and then send one person to lobby Liu Zhang, he will definitely form an alliance with us! And there is one more thing"
"Anything else?"
"Is Cao Cao really sending troops to attack Hanzhong?" Zhuge Liang shook his head, "I don't think so, because Ziwu Valley and Xie Valley are not conducive to the expansion of the army. Cao Cao may also be attacking in the east and in the west!"
After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Bei also thought about it and found that it was indeed possible.
"Then what does Kong Ming think we should do?"
"Can make Guan Ping"Shiren was stationed at Baocheng and Fanjiang, and Zhang Da was stationed at the mouth of Ziwu Valley. The second general and Zhang Wei were stationed at Yang'an Pass, the third general was stationed at Wakou Pass, Yang Angyanghuai was stationed at Dingjun Mountain, and Chen Dao was stationed at Nanzheng City, keeping constant in response to all changes. At the same time, Sun Qian went to Chengdu to lobby Liu Zhang! "
"Okay, just follow what the military advisor said!" Liu Bei felt much more relaxed at this time.
After Cao Cao led an army of 50,000 people to leave Yecheng, Wei Yan of Yique Pass had been sending scouts to find out the news. Although he felt that it was impossible for Cao Cao to raid Yique Pass because he had an army of 20,000 and Zhao Yun's 3,000 cavalry, he did not dare to relax at all.
Wei Yan¡¯s guess was correct. After Cao Cao¡¯s army arrived in Luoyang, they did not stop and continued westward. However, Cao Zhen was left behind to lead 5,000 troops and stationed in Luoyang.
After arriving in Chang'an, he only stayed for one day and then continued westward.
Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, and Liu Cong, the three Han clan clan members, have always been staring at Cao Cao. Obviously, Cao Cao did not plan to advance from Ziwu Valley. Then, there is only Xiegu.
Sure enough, after arriving at Yicheng, Cao Cao's army was stationed.
They didn¡¯t move for three days, as if they were collecting food and grass.
In Chencang County Magistrate¡¯s Mansion, after Ma Teng got the news, he summoned Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others.
"Father, are you going to send troops to attack Cao Cao?" Ma Chao asked.
"Cao Cao wants to attack us, not us!" Ma Teng said while looking at the map.
"Cao Cao wants to attack us?" Ma Xiu was a little confused. "Isn't he going to attack Hanzhong? Is he going to fight on two fronts?"
"Cao Cao is treacherous, this is just an attack in the east and in the west!" Ma Teng shook his head, "What he really wants to attack is us!"
"Attack us?" Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie were all surprised. However, Ma Dai's face was calm, as if he had already thought of it.
"Bo Zhan, have you already thought of it?" Seeing Ma Dai's expression, Ma Teng was a little strange and asked.
"Uncle, Cao Cao leads an army of 50,000, but the Xiegu Road is difficult and dangerous and is not suitable for large army operations at all. We can only use surprise troops to attack by surprise. Therefore, I conclude that Cao Cao's target is not Hanzhong, but us!"
"Ha" Ma Teng laughed a few times, with an expression of relief on his face.
He is very satisfied with his sons and nephews, especially Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who can complement each other.
From the moment Cao Cao sent out troops, he thought of attacking himself. Because the dream of three horses in the same trough will always be Cao Cao's heartache.
But Ma Dai could guess from Cao Cao's troop dispatching route that he was a good general.
"Meng Qi led five thousand soldiers and horses and stationed them in the northern plains, forming a horns with Chencang. Bozhan led five thousand soldiers and horses and stationed them in Sanguan to prevent Cao Cao from marching south to the Qinling Mountains and cutting off our retreat. The horses and iron were cut off, and we followed I will stick to Chencang City!"
