"Okay, okay!" In the commander's tent at Sishui Pass, Liu Cong was very happy after reading Hao Zhao's battle report, "Hao Bodao really had a good way of defending the city, allowing Liu Bei to lose more than 4,000 soldiers in one battle."
Zhong Yao was filled with admiration after reading the battle report.
"My lord, you have a keen eye for recognizing talents, which is really admirable!"
Although it was Huang Zhong who originally ordered Hao Zhao to guard Yicheng, it was Liu Cun's decision.
Not to mention Huang Zhong, even Zhong Yao was a little worried at first.
Hao Zhao is just a surrendered general, and he has no reputation in Cao's camp. Yicheng is the gateway for Hanzhong to enter Guanzhong Road. Once this is opened, the entire Guanzhong Road, including Tianshui County, will be very dangerous, because this generation There were almost no soldiers and horses stationed there.
Judging from the battle report, Hao Zhao fought very well, almost wiping out the five thousand troops attacking the city.
You must know that Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, and Zhuge Liang are not ordinary people!
"Yuan Chang, many of our generals in the New Han Dynasty were directly discovered by the lord from among the soldiers. Facts have proved that they all have the appearance of famous generals." Huang Zhong was no longer surprised by Liu Cong's ability. As long as Liu Cong You can¡¯t be wrong if you say who can use it.
"The great Han Dynasty is reviving, this is God's will!" Zhong Yao nodded.
It is said that within a few hundred years, there will be a hero in the world. Zhong Yao has already determined that this hero must be Liu Cong. Because the hero¡¯s greatest characteristic is that he can recognize and employ people!
"What does Yuan Chang think Liu Bei will do next?"
"My lord, Liu Bei stormed Yicheng, obviously intending to occupy Guanzhong Road, and then slowly attack Xiliang. But now after being severely hit by Hao Zhao with a blow on the head, he can only plot Hanzhong!"
"Hanzhong?" Liu Cong thought for a moment, "Judging from the information from the Tianwang Camp, Liu Zhang has troops stationed in Dingjun Mountain, Baishui Pass, Yang'an Pass, and Jiameng Pass, and there are many people in Nanzheng City to support the ban. With an army of ten thousand, Liu Bei wants to capture Hanzhong, how easy is it?"
"Although it is not easy, Liu Bei has no choice! Now he only has more than 15,000 soldiers and horses left. Even if he takes over the Guanzhong Road, it will be a dead end. How can he be willing to retreat to Nanzhong? Therefore, he can only plot Hanzhong. As for how to plot? This is what Zhuge Liang wants to think about."
"Yes!" Liu Cong nodded. Liu Bei is a hero and has a very strong will. Although he has been defeated repeatedly, he has never surrendered. There is no way such a person would give up the fight for hegemony. The original withdrawal from Hanzhong was to preserve strength. Now that Guan Yu is coordinating in Yongchang, he must give this only chance a try.
"My lord, is there something suspicious about Mr. Cao's behavior?"
"Oh? What's suspicious about it?" Liu Cong frowned, "You mean he was just feigning an attack on Sishui Pass."
"It's not suspicious to pretend to attack Sishui Pass. Sishui Pass is dangerous. If we attack it by force, there will be heavy casualties. I'm talking about why the other two groups of troops didn't move."
"this¡¡"
Liu Cong also realized at this time that the so-called sending out troops in seven directions was Cao Cao's idea, and it was Cao Cao who was the first to send troops. But up to now, Xu Huang's troops are still gathered in Shangdang and have not moved. Zhang Liao's army has been gathered in Chenliu and has not moved. This is a bit unreasonable!
"Cao Cao wants to preserve his strength?" Liu Cong asked.
"It's possible!" Zhong Yao nodded, then shook his head, "But there is another possibility!"
"What's possible!"
"Cao Gong's target is not with us!"
"If he's not with us, then where is he?" Huang Zhong had been silent while listening to the conversation between Liu Cong and Zhong Yao, and then he suddenly asked.
"Is it Jiangdong or Yizhou?" There are only a few princes in the world today, so it is not difficult to guess.
"I also suddenly thought that when Liu Zhang sent troops in three directions, the entire Yizhou was empty. Sun Quan gathered his army at Chaisang and Sanjiangkou. Guangling, Wujun, Kuaiji, Lujiang, and Yuzhang were all empty. Now There are wars going on everywhere, but if someone can free up his hands, that will be the best opportunity!"
"That's right!" Liu Cong suddenly realized that Cao Cao's other two troops were not moving. Thinking about it this way, isn't his intention very clear? When the fight between the two sides was intense, he suddenly went south, either to attack Jiangdong or to attack Yizhou, which would achieve twice the result with half the effort!
"My lord, there is another general in Cao's camp, but we have ignored him!" Zhong Yao said again.
"who is it?"
"The former Jingzhou general, Wenpin!"
"Wenpin?" Liu Cong suddenly realized that he had also forgotten Wenpin. This was at that timeThe most respected general under my command!
Liu Cong pondered over the map.
If Wenpin suddenly sends troops from Xuzhou, Sun Quan's troops along the river will be very empty. Wu County may be directly occupied, and Sun Quan may even be forced to surrender.
In this way, the entire Jiangdong will belong to Cao Cao. If that were the case, Cao Cao's strength would be much greater than it is now, and it would be difficult for him to compete.
"Yes, Cao Cao's goal is in Jiangdong!" Liu Cong suddenly stood up, "Liu Hu, send an order to Ma Zhong, and ask Tianwang Camp to quickly figure out the movements of Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and others!"
"No!"
"My lord, the survival of Jiangdong has a greater impact on us, and Yizhou is also an opportunity for us!" Zhong Yao's face looked relatively relaxed, "My lord has assembled heavy troops in Wudu and Yinping, and I am afraid he is not just trying to block Ma Chao. Bar!"
"Ha" Liu Cong chuckled a few times, "Yes, I have long wanted to plot Yizhou, and it seems that the opportunity has come."
"My lord, are you going to Yinping, the capital of Wu?"
"right!"
"Then Jiangdong"
"I am going to write a letter to Sun Quan to inform Cao Cao of his conspiracy!"
"My lord, my subordinates think that it is more appropriate for the second lady to write this letter, and that the lord can unintentionally reveal the news to the second lady and show his concern for Jiangdong!"
"Ha" Liu Cong laughed after hearing this, "Yuan Chang's strategy is indeed a good one!"
"Thank you for the compliment, my lord!" Zhong Yao also smiled, "My lord, you can find a reason to leave Sishui Pass. I heard that the princess is about to give birth"
Cai Yu¡¯s second child is indeed about to be born.
The next day Liu Cong and Liu Hu left Sishui Pass and handed over all the defense here to Huang Zhong and Zhong Yao.
After Cao Cao learned of the situation, he was a little surprised and immediately sent someone to investigate. Two days later, the scouts sent definite news. It turned out that Princess Han was due to give birth.
"HaLiu Chengguang is still a passionate person!" Cao Cao smiled after learning the situation.
"This kind of affection is not a good thing for a hero!" Jia Xu rarely spoke proactively.
"Could it be that Wen He has a plan to break through the Sishui Pass!"
"My lord, even if Liu Cong is not around, Sishui Pass will still be difficult to break. However, we don't need to attack by force!"
