"Surprise attack on Chencang?" Liu Cong thought for a while and realized that it did make sense. Since regular troops are not feasible, then surprise troops would be used. "Who can lead the army?"
"Shi Zai goes forward, nothing will happen!"
Liu Cong nodded, Deng Ai was indeed the best candidate. Feitian Battalion was already good at mountain warfare, and Deng Ai was a typical soldier who was good at making surprise moves.
"How many troops and horses are needed?"
"Chencang and Sanguan are each guarded by 5,000 soldiers and horses. If we want to win, we will need at least 10,000!"
"Okay, send an order to Deng Ai to get ready, let Liao Hua and Zhou Cang be his deputy, and quietly leave the camp tomorrow night, detouring to Chencang!"
"No!"
In two days, Deng Ai made preparations. At the first watch, 10,000 troops and horses were ready to go, and Liu Cong and Fazheng saw them off in person.
"In Shizai, Chencang Sanguan is backed by the Qinling Mountains and close to the Weishui River. The terrain is steep inside and outside the mountains and rivers, so we need to be cautious in using our troops."
"Don't worry, my lord, the general will remember it. Please wait for the good news about the general, my lord!" Deng Ai said with confidence.
"In Shizai, the Wei general guarding Sanguan is Zhu Ling. This man is both wise and brave. If we can't capture it, there is no need to attack by force. As long as we capture Chencang, we can cut off Xiahou Dun's food route." Fazheng said.
"good!"
"Who is the guard of Chencang?" Liu Cong suddenly realized that in battle, you must know yourself and the enemy. Since it was a sneak attack on Chencang, how could you not know the guard of Chencang?
"The person guarding Chencang is an unknown young general named Hao Zhao, Du Xi is guarding Jieting, Zhao Yan is guarding Tianshui, and the number of defenders in each place is five thousand!" Fa Zheng was obviously very clear about this information.
"What, it's Hao Zhao!"
"Why, the lord knows about him?" Fazheng was a little surprised. How could the lord Liu Cong know about an unknown young general under Cao Cao? And showed such a surprised reaction.
"How could I not know Hao Zhao's name!" Liu Cong thought to himself.
The two most adept generals during the Three Kingdoms period were Huo Jun and Hao Zhao. In comparison, Hao Zhao was more famous than Huo Jun.
In previous history, 5,000 soldiers and horses guarded Chencang, but Zhuge Liang's 150,000 army failed to attack and returned home with a broken sword.
Now that he is guarding Chencang again, how can he capture Deng Ai's 10,000 troops?
"My lord" Neither Fazheng nor Deng Ai knew why Liu Cong had such a reaction when he mentioned Hao Zhao.
"Xiaozhi, Shizai, our plan needs to be more detailed. Zhu Ling, Zhao Yan, and Du Xi are all famous generals under Cao Cao. Chencang is no less important than Sanguan, Jieting, and Tianshui, but Cao Cao sent Hao Zhao went to guard, what does this mean?"
"Thiscould it be that this Hao Zhao"
"Yes, this shows that this Hao Zhao is better at guarding than Zhu Ling, Zhao Yan and Du Xi!" Liu Cong couldn't say that he knew that this Hao Zhao was better at guarding, so he could only use this method to say it.
"My lord, what you said makes sense, I was negligent!" Fazheng also figured out the reason.
"We fought against Cao Cao and had the upper hand all the way. That's because we knew Cao Cao's generals very well, but Cao Cao was very unfamiliar with our generals. He thought they were unknown people and underestimated the enemy. The more unknown we are, the more unknown we are. Pay more attention to it!"
"My lord's words are so inspiring that we have learned a lesson!" Fazheng saluted Liu Cong.
"My lord, in fact, the general has thought that it is almost impossible to capture Chencang directly, but to use a roundabout method!" Deng Ai was still so confident.
"What's Shizai's clever plan?" Liu Cong asked urgently.
"When Cao Cao fought with Ma Teng, he couldn't attack Chencang for a long time, so he sent Zhang He to send out surprise troops from the Qinling Trail in the south, through Qishan Mountain and Xixian County, and unexpectedly attacked Jieting and Tianshui, cutting off Ma Teng's retreat!"
"Shizai also wants to take this road?" Liu Cong frowned, "Du Xi and Zhao Yan must be on guard!"
"My lord is right, this road is definitely impassable, but I will take a detour from the north, take Xiaoguan and Beidi County, capture Tianshui and Jieting from behind, and cut off Hao Zhao and Zhu Ling's food route!"
"Wonderful!" Fazheng showed an expression of surprise on his face, "Shizai's method is to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. By then, both Hao Zhao and Zhu Ling in Chencang, and Xiahou Dun in Xicheng will be in death. And when we are surrounded While killing the Wei army, Shi Zai used lightning speed to occupy Longyou, Dingxi, Wudu, and even Yinping!"
"Okay!" Liu Cong was very happy.
Deng Ai, Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang led 10,000 soldiers and horses, brought enough food and grass, and quietly left the camp.
The Han army continued to hold its troopsDespite the turmoil, Zhuge Liang and Xiahou Dun also calmed down, and the three parties just faced each other.
However, their scouts did not stop inquiring for information. The calmer they became, the more nervous they appeared. It seemed that a war was brewing, and it was the kind of decisive battle that would kill the opponent in the first battle.
"Lord, we have discovered the food route for the Hanzhong Army!" Liu Cong was reading in the commander's tent when Fazheng hurried in.
"Grain road?" To transport grain and grass from Hanzhong to Wuzhangyuan, there is only one road through Xiegu. However, the terrain of the Xiegu Valley is dangerous, and it is not easy to transport food, and of course it is not easy to rob it.
"It's just that although Zhuge Liang didn't send heavy troops to escort us, if we want to rob the grain, it will be difficult to succeed. However, my subordinates have a plan that can completely cut off his grain supply!"
"Oh? Xiaozhi, tell me quickly!"
"Attack with fire!"
"Fire attack?" Liu Cong frowned.
"Lord, we can go investigate!"
"good!"
Liu Cong, Liu Hu, Fazheng, and Huang Zhong led a thousand soldiers out of the camp and came to the entrance of the Xiegu Pass. They walked inside for about ten miles and stopped.
"My lord, please look, there is a trail halfway up the mountain opposite the valley. That is the food trail for the Hanzhong Army."
The Qinling Mountains are lush and green everywhere. After observing for a long time, several people discovered the trail. As expected, they saw some soldiers carrying grain and grass on their backs. The figure sometimes appears and sometimes is obscured by trees.
"How to use fire attack at such a long distance?"
"If we only burn the grain road, it will be difficult to succeed. If we burn the entire valley, the grain road will no longer exist!"
"Burn the entire valley?" Liu Cong was shocked, and at the same time a chill came up on his back. He felt that he didn't understand Fa Zheng. How could he use such a plan?
"Lord"
"No!" Liu Cong flatly rejected it.
"My lord, do you think the military advisor's strategy is feasible?"
"This" Huang Zhong actually agreed with Fa Zheng's words, which surprised Liu Cong.
But when he thought about it carefully, he understood that in this era, victory or defeat was very important in wars, and no one paid attention to the price paid.
Wuchao robbed food and burned the food and fodder of the 700,000-strong army. In the end, Cao Cao was forced to bury 80,000 surrendered troops alive. The fire burned Red Cliff, turning countless warships and lives into ashes. In previous history, Guan Yu flooded seven armies and turned countless villages and fertile fields into marshes. But history only records their achievements, and no one talks about their faults.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. In the final analysis, the lives of the people are worthless! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
