Zhang Xiong is ready for a fight to the death.
Who would have known that only at this moment did they know that the people coming from the other side were actually the subordinates of General Ma Chao of the West Route Army.
Facing friendly forces, Zhang Xiong¡¯s worries were finally swept away.
After hearing Zhang Xiong¡¯s question, Pang De explained to him.
After hearing the story, Zhang Xiong was overjoyed.
Only now did he know that Cao Ren's 60,000-strong army had been completely wiped out, and he himself had fled.
Now Ma Chao has led one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to Wushi City to join his father.
Afterwards, Pang De led Zhang Xiong to see Ma Chao behind him.
When Zhang Xiong left, he immediately ordered his surroundings to pass the good news back to Wushi as soon as possible so that his father could also know.
Although Zhang Xiong didn't know Pang De, he was very familiar with Ma Chao, His Majesty's favorite general.
So the moment he saw Ma Chao, all the doubts in his heart were completely cleared.
He then turned over and dismounted, saluting Ma Chao.
Ma Chao also didn¡¯t expect Zhang Xiong to be on patrol here.
However, when he heard about the recent encounter from Zhang Xiong, he was also filled with emotion and admired Zhang He and his generals.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Zhang Xiong, Ma Chao's army finally arrived at Wushi City.
Zhang He had already received the news and was waiting outside the city.
After seeing the flag gradually appearing on the distant horizon, I finally showed joy.
After the two armies met, they were polite to each other for a moment, and then led by Zhang He to the city.
"Meng Qi, you are finally here. With you here, I can finally sleep well!"
Hearing this, Ma Chao quickly said politely: "Jun Yi is so polite. I admire you for your ability to defeat Cao's army with five thousand lone troops many times!"
At this time, Zhang He suddenly remembered something and immediately turned around and took out a letter.
"Meng Qi, His Majesty personally handed this to me before I came. He only said that I would hand it over to Meng Qi after I see him in person.
Now that Meng Qi has arrived, please accept your Majesty¡¯s letter! "
When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately looked cautious.
Although he didn¡¯t understand why His Majesty didn¡¯t just give it to him at the rear, he instead had to go through all the trouble to deliver it to Zhang He who was deep behind enemy lines.
However, he quickly opened the letter.
Ma Chao watched anxiously from beginning to end, but his face became more and more frightened. At the end, he couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Your Majesty is truly a heavenly being! He has actually planned it in such detail that we and the others are in awe!"
Others still didn¡¯t know what he meant, but after Ma Chao read it, he handed the letter to Pang Tong beside him and asked him to read it too.
Others also came over curiously and looked at the contents of the letter together.
It turns out that based on the letters, Liu Ke had already predicted the course of the war between Ma Chao and Cao Ren.
But this is just the background, the subsequent arrangements are crucial.
Ma Chao and Zhang He join forces and go down the Jing River from Wushi. They will definitely surround Cao Cao with Liu Ke's army.
But there are still some risks that must be guarded against.
First, although Cao Ren has been defeated, he will never give up. He will definitely still take the opportunity to harass and affect the progress.
In addition, Cao Pi also has a large army stationed in Jincheng County in the rear. When he hears the news that Cao Cao is surrounded, he will definitely mobilize.
Coming from the direction of Jincheng, there are two roads.
One of them is a waterway, which goes down the Yellow River. When it reaches the entrance of Qingshui River, it turns south, along the Qingshui River Valley, through Qiuyuan, to Gaoping, and finally to Chaona.
The other is a land route, starting from Jincheng, passing along the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, and finally reaching Gaoping.
The two roads are one easy and one difficult, one is far and the other is close, and the time to reach Gaoping is about the same.
Therefore, Liu Ke stated in the letter that in order to prevent the two armies from being attacked from both front and back when encircling Cao Cao, Ma Chao and Zhang He should do a good job of dividing the work.
While one person led troops to besiege Cao Cao, another person led troops to seize Chaona and Gaoping.
The reason why I want to focus on Chaona is because these are the only two intersections where Cao Cao retreats.
One of them is naturally Wushi, which has been captured by Zhang He. This road is easier to follow.
But there is another way that is more rugged, but still possible to escape from the siege, and that is through Chaona.
Therefore, in order to block Cao Cao¡¯s last retreat,?, you must also have Chao Na in your hands.
As for Gao Ping, it goes without saying.
Whether it is waterway or land route, they all pass through Gaoping.
As long as Gaoping is defended, Cao Pi's reinforcements can be blocked out and unable to support Cao Cao.
No wonder Ma Chao was so amazed. He didn¡¯t expect Liu Ke to have made all the plans meticulously while he was in Qixian County.
After reading it, Pang Tong and the other generals were equally surprised and sighed at His Majesty's wisdom.
In this case, the two of them will discuss how to divide their troops.
In fact, the importance of these two arrangements is almost the same. Either way is related to the success or failure of the entire campaign.
Ma Chao and Zhang He were humble to each other and could not reach an agreement for a while.
In the end, the two had no choice but to seek help from the resourceful military advisor Pang Tong.
Pang Tong smiled slightly and said: "This is not simple! You can just draw lots! But first explain.
No matter which way you catch, you must execute it to the letter. "
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "It's as it should be! The result of drawing lots will never be regretted!"
In this case, Pang Tong wrote the lots himself, and after shaking them up, the two of them chose.
Finally, Zhang He chose to lead troops to attack Chaona and Gaoping and defend Cao Pi.
And Ma Chaoyun got the opportunity to encircle Cao Cao with His Majesty.
This opportunity is also a more tricky and easier task to achieve success.
However, Zhang He still had a calm expression on his face and accepted it calmly.
In the end, Ma Chao's 100,000-strong army was evenly divided into two groups.
The two men each led an army of fifty thousand and marched in different directions.
The military situation was urgent, and less than a day after Ma Chao and Zhang He reunited, they parted ways again.
On the way to march again, Zhang Xiong saw his father's expression and asked with a puzzled look:
"By going down the Jing River to encircle Cao Cao, you will have an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. But when my father lost this opportunity, why was he still so safe?"
Hearing this, Zhang He burst out laughing, making all his men look puzzled.
"Why is the general laughing?"
"I know that you only care about the small profits in front of you, but you don't see the deeper key."
"I hope the general can help us clear up our doubts!" ??everyone said in unison.
"In that case, I will tell you something!
Going down the river and encircling Cao Cao seemed to be accomplished in one fell swoop.
But what kind of person is Cao Cao? How could he be captured so easily? If you are not careful, you will be able to escape.
If Cao Cao escapes, who should be blamed? "
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood the potential crisis and shrank their necks.
Zhang He continued to explain: "If Cao Cao escapes, he must not be able to take the Jingshui road. Which road will he take?"
¡°Towards that?¡± Everyone was shocked in unison. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
