Yecheng is the seat of Jizhou and the largest city in Hebei. It has strong city defenses, a large population, sufficient reserves of weapons and grain, and the Zhang River serves as a natural barrier. It is definitely an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place!
In the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao personally led hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Expedition and besieged Yecheng for three months. However, he was still unable to conquer it. Instead, he lost many soldiers and horses. Moreover, because of the lack of food and grass supplies, there was almost a need to withdraw his troops. idea.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Xiao Yi led his troops to come to the rescue and took advantage of the continuous autumn rain to dig up the Zhang River to flood Ye City. He drowned countless enemy troops and scared Yuan Shang into abandoning the city and fled. Only then did he take Ye City. !
"Afterwards, Xiao Yi also admitted that if Yuan Shang had been bolder and held the city without escaping, he might not be able to capture Ye City. For the world's best general to say such words, it shows how strong Ye City is.
Because of this, after Cao Cao pacified Hebei, he spared no effort in manpower and material resources to re-fortify Yecheng as the home of the Cao family. He left his second son Cao Pi to sit in charge and manage the foundation well, and later became the capital of Wei!
¡¡
"Sun Tzu said: The army that subdues the enemy without fighting is a good person. Therefore, the first is to attack the enemy with the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the second is to attack the city!
The purpose of His Highness the Fourth Prince's action was to bring about rebellion and save the country and the people. He did not want to kill more innocent people, so he spread the message to all directions to affirm the path of loyalty. The cities along the way were deeply influenced, and many people surrendered without fighting!
"However, Cao Zihuan has been running Yecheng for several years, and many of his close friends are unwilling to surrender to His Highness. Instead, he has closed the city gates, actively prepared for war, and set up three lines of defense in the east of the city, intending to stop our army from advancing!"
Ye City is strong and everyone knows that if our army were to attack by force, we would probably lose the lives of our soldiers in vain. Therefore, His Royal Highnesses held a meeting and hoped that everyone would work together to come up with a clever plan to seize the city!
In addition, there is reliable news: Cao Zihuan mobilized 100,000 troops and handed them over to Zhang He and Lu Qian as commanders. He has already set off from Xuchang City and wants to go north to rescue Yecheng!
What our army has to do is to seize Yecheng before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, and then control the entire Jizhou. In this way, we will be in an invincible position. Otherwise, if the enemy forces join together, the pressure on our army will double. . "
In the lobby, Yang Xiu pointed at the map of Hebei and explained the changes in the situation between the enemy and ourselves, as well as some of his own opinions. Everyone who listened nodded frequently, recognizing the talents of Mr. Taiqing.
Yecheng is a hard bone, but no matter how hard it is, it has to be chewed down. As long as Yecheng is captured, Jizhou can be controlled and the land of Hebei can be commanded.
Yecheng is also the capital of the Wei State. There are built palaces, Sheji, and the Imperial Ancestral Temple, which are dedicated to the ancestors of the Cao family. As long as they enter it, Cao Zhi can officially proclaim himself the king. Then he can gather the power of the entire Hebei Province to move southward with the Cao Pi shows off!
Victory will sweep across the Central Plains, and then annex Jiangdong and Bashu, fulfilling the dream of the former king to unify the world. At that time, with just a wave of Cao Zhi's hand, he could turn the Han Dynasty into the Wei Dynasty.
Retreating can also rely on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to firmly control the four states of Hebei, split the Central Plains with Cao Pi and Xiao Yi, and still be the overlord!
The question is, how can we capture the strong city of Ye at the minimum cost?
"There are at least 100,000 defenders in Yecheng, more than 200,000 young and strong civilians, as well as a large amount of weapons, food and grass. Attacking by force is not an option. How about following the old wisdom of Da Sima and digging out the Zhang River to flood the city?"
"You are a pig brain. It is early spring, and the water level in Zhangshui is very low. Even if we dig the dam, we may not be able to flood Yecheng, and we may flood our own people!"
¡¡
"Then send a team of dead soldiers into the city, raise a fire as a signal late at night, cooperate with the inside and outside, open the city gate, and the army will rush in!"
"Yecheng has been under martial law for a long time. Outsiders can't get in at all. Even if they get in by chance, they may not be able to cooperate inside and outside. People are guarding it day and night!"
¡¡
"This won't work, that won't work either. We have to find a way. How about contacting the noble clans in the city and asking them to help the Fourth Highness?"
"The Yecheng noble clan is headed by the Zhen family. One of their legitimate daughters is Mrs. Sima, and the other is Cao Zihuan's queen. Do you think they will help the Fourth Highness?"
The civil and military officials were talking a lot and proposed seven or eight methods in a row. Unfortunately, they couldn't help but think about it, and time was tight. There was really nothing they could do, so they had to attack by force.
Although Cao Zhi has 100,000 soldiers and horses, most of them have just been gathered together. They are poorly trained and severely lacking in weapons and equipment. If they attack a heavily defended city by force, they may not even have a 10% chance of winning!
It has been less than a month since the incident took place, and the people inside are not stable. Once they suffer a big defeat, I am afraid that they will suddenlyAt this time, the latter readily agreed, received the military talisman, and received the soldiers and horses!
Yang Xiu wanted to stop him, but it was too late, and he had no good excuse. Since he wanted the horse to run, he had to let it eat grass, right?
After the discussion is complete, everyone returns to camp to prepare!
Early the next morning, Cao Xiong led an army of 60,000 people and marched westward in a mighty manner. He also displayed two banners of Linzihou and Xiaohuaihou, making a joint march to confuse the eyes of the outside world!
In the evening, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu led the remaining 70,000 troops and quietly left Ganling City. Under the cover of the thick night, they rushed north
Hungry and thirsty, they traveled at dawn and stayed overnight. Seventy thousand horses and horses marched quickly, passing through Qinghe County, Anping County, Julu County and then turned around and headed south. Finally, eight days later, they successfully arrived near Julu City. There was no one who stood in the way of the city, but there were many who opened the city and submitted.
Julu City is a battleground for military strategists. As long as they occupy this place, the army can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and can also replenish some ordnance, food, and soldiers. Therefore, after Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu discussed it, they decided to capture Julu first. Attack Yecheng again!
Unexpectedly, when the troops were dispatched, a ranger suddenly reported: "The defenders of Julu City came out in full force and blocked the road ahead!"
