Long County, the base camp of Cao Renjun.
Today, Cao Ren raised his account and is discussing the next move.
Cao Fan suddenly rushed into the tent.
Although he had repaired himself a lot when he was in Longguan, he didn't look so embarrassed.
But this journey is still dusty.
Seeing the other party coming suddenly, Cao Ren asked with confusion: "Why did Fan'er return?"
The other soldiers also looked at him with puzzled faces, but their expressions were relaxed and they did not think of the real reason.
When Cao Fan reached the center of the tent, he knelt down with a thud.
"Father, please punish the child for being thrown into the city!"
"What?" Cao Ren was shocked.
"My dear, my dear, I have lost the city of Qian County! All 20,000 soldiers were wiped out!" Cao Fan said sadly and angrily.
"How come the whole army was wiped out so quickly? Could it be that the enemy army was too powerful and all the soldiers were exhausted?" Cao Ren was still a little surprised.
Cao Fan did not dare to lie, so he had to rob the camp at night and fall into an ambush by the enemy.
Not only did the army suffer heavy losses, but even the county seat was taken away by the other side.
After hearing this, Cao Ren said angrily: "What did my father tell you that day? I just taught you to hold on to the city."
But you just refused to listen and insisted on taking the initiative to provoke me. You, do you know your sin? Come, push Cao Fan out and behead him in public! "
Cao Fan didn¡¯t resist at all and just let the two soldiers drag him away.
However, the others in the tent could not just watch the young master being beheaded.
They quickly stood up and interceded for him together, presenting their interests and giving Cao Fan a chance to make amends.
Naturally, Cao Ren didn¡¯t really want to kill his son, just to show it to others.
Now the soldiers begged for mercy and gave him a step, and he accepted it.
"However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."
Cao Ren demoted him to Bo Zhang and left it to make up for his mistakes later.
Now, Qian County, the vanguard of the attack on Jing Zhaoyin, was lost, and Cao Ren instantly fell into passivity.
He immediately made rearrangements.
There are 10,000 defenders at Longguan. Coupled with the natural danger, they are enough to last for some time.
But to be on the safe side, an additional 20,000 troops were sent to support.
This time, in order to prevent the defender from making the mistake of underestimating the enemy again.
Cao Ren directly ordered the reinforcements to bring his own handwriting.
Then, when he looked at the map, he finally set his sights on Yangcheng in the north of Qian County.
That place was also under the control of Cao Jun and was originally used as a rear guard.
But after the fall of Qixian County, Yangcheng became the first to bear the brunt.
Therefore, Cao Ren decided that he could no longer hold on to Long County, so he immediately sent his troops and moved his base camp to Yangcheng.
After this period of arrangement, Cao Ren had a total of 100,000 troops.
Cao Fan lost 20,000 men, 30,000 were stationed at Longguan, and the remaining 50,000 troops all marched towards Yangcheng.
With the Longguan garrison at arm's length, they fought against Ma Chao's 100,000-strong army.
The strength of the two sides was actually almost the same, but Cao Ren felt very uneasy.
Therefore, Ma Chao's 100,000-strong army is basically all brave and skilled warriors who have been on the battlefield.
¡°But during this period of time when I was recruiting troops, there was still a big gap between the combat effectiveness of more than half of the new recruits compared to their opponents.
However, fortunately, the task given by Cao Cao to Cao Ren was to contain him.
He was not required to capture many enemy troops.
So as long as Cao Ren restrains Ma Chao here and prevents him from going any further, it will be enough to join up with Liu Ke.
Three days later, Cao Ren's army finally arrived at Yangcheng.
He came here to check and found that twenty miles south of Yangcheng, there was a pass called Fanxukou on the road where the enemy troops in Qian County must pass.
The originally wide Liupanshan corridor suddenly narrowed here, forming a passage only more than ten meters wide.
And with mountains and cliffs on both sides and steep terrain, it is an excellent defensive thoroughfare.
It¡¯s just that there has never been a pass here, Cao Ren only set it up temporarily.
However, thanks to the environment here, even temporary levels are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
After these few days of repairs, Ma Chao's army has all recovered its strength.
The Qian County that was originally recaptured did not need to be repaired at all because it did not require weapons.
In fact, when Cao Jun captured this city before, the city wall was seriously damaged.
But Cao Ren originally wanted to use Qian County as the fortress, so the repairs were completed overnight.
In the end, this directly benefited Ma Chao and others.
Today, Ma Chao, Pang Tong, Pang De, Ma Dai and others gathered in the Chinese army's tent to discuss the next plan.
The victory in the first battle greatly increased everyone's confidence.
Some generals even proposed to attack Longguan in one go and break into Hanyang County directly.
Some generals proposed to send their troops north to join His Majesty's army and attack the main force of Cao Wei.
Some generals even wanted to go south to Sanguan, attack Wudu County, and open up a passage into Hanzhong.
Each proposal has its own merits.
In order to unleash the enthusiasm of the generals, Ma Chao did not stop him and allowed them to perform freely.
At the end, after all the soldiers had finished speaking, Ma Chao looked at military advisor Pang Tong.
"Shiyuan, do you have any advice?"
After this experience, Ma Chao admired him even more.
Pang Tong pondered for a moment and finally said: "Actually, the generals' analysis makes sense.
There is nothing wrong with going west, south or north. "
"Hey, military advisor, haven't you been talking for a long time in vain?" A general asked recklessly.
However, he found that everyone was looking at him with dissatisfaction, and the general quickly shrank his neck and stepped back.
Now that Pang Tong¡¯s strategy has conquered everyone, everyone will only admire him, and no one dares to offend him again.
Afterwards, Pang Tong continued his analysis: "Based on my analysis, although Cao Ren had previously captured Qixian County.
But the army is still in Long County, a hundred miles away. It seems that the opponent has no intention of continuing the attack.
Therefore, I think their army is probably just to contain our army and defend Cao Cao's main force. "
Now the other side is taking advantage of the danger to confine us here.
Therefore, we must not be led by the opponent. Instead, we must change from passive to active. Only in this way can we attract Cao Ren from Gaocheng Xiongguan. "
Ma Chao suddenly became enlightened after hearing Pang Tong¡¯s analysis.
He said tentatively: "Then based on the opinion of the military advisor, our attack from the west to Longguan is the worst option?"
"What Meng Qi said is absolutely true. Longguan is dangerous and dangerous, so it is not the best target. Instead, it is a better plan to take advantage of the situation and go north to attack Yangcheng and Wushi."
The generals listened to Pang Tong's analysis, and at the same time looked at the map in the tent, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Because as long as Wushi is captured, Cao Cao's army will be surrounded by himself and His Majesty, and become a fish and turtle in a jar.
However, Pang Tong continued: "You don't have to be happy too early." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
