Chapter 194
Liu Zhang and the officials of Yizhou were surprised when they heard that Cao Cao suddenly entered Chen Cang. Although Sun Qian had already said it just now, it must have been just a guess, and now that it became a fact, how could one not be surprised?
Sun Qian also breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, and the stone hanging in his heart was put down. While leaving Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang gave him a bag and told him that Liu Zhang would open it before summoning him.
And all this just said is actually told by Zhuge Liang's bag. Although Sun Qian said it, he was still uneasy in his heart. Could it really be that Cao Cao's target was Xiliang Ma Teng instead of their Hanzhong? If Zhuge Liang guessed wrong, it would be difficult to succeed in forming an alliance with Yizhou.
Now well, things are much smoother later.
"Does Zhuge Liang really have unfathomable powers?" thought to Sun Qian.
"King Shu knows that Cao Cao attacked Ma Teng and sent troops directly, so why did he use this strategy to attack the east and the west?" asked Sun Qian, his voice obviously full of confidence.
"What about Mr. Yi's opinion?" Cao Cao seemed to be redundant, but there must be his deep meaning, but the reason for this Liu Zhang was naturally not clear.
"That's Cao Cao's fear of my father-in-law!" said Sun Qianlang.
"Afraid of Liu Bei?" Fei Guan laughed, "Liu Bei and Cao Cao have fought many times, but they have repeatedly lost battles, will Cao Cao be afraid of Liu Bei?"
"Back in Xuzhou, my lord used 5,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Cao Cao's 50,000 army, and if it weren't for Lü Bu's obstruction, Yuan Shu took advantage of the fire and robbery, and Cao Cao would not have been able to win. In Xinye, he defeated Xiahou Wei's 100,000-strong army with 20,000 people, but if Cai Yaoyue and others later surrendered Jingzhou, how could they have lost to Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao wants to conquer Ma Teng in Western Liang, what he is most worried about is that my lord suddenly left the valley and cut off his back road. Therefore, the strategy of attacking the east and the west is adopted!" After
Sun Qian's words, the hall of the Shu King Mansion fell silent, and everyone thought about it, this is indeed the truth. Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao have repeatedly lost battles, they have repeatedly lost battles, and with tired soldiers, they dare to attack the front of dogs and wolves, and in this regard, they can be regarded as heroes.
"Your Royal Highness King Shu, you and my lord are both Han clansmen, and now when the Han dynasty is retiring, traitors are in charge, and ambitious people are standing in the court, you should work together and form an alliance. If they fight each other separately, or if they meet each other, won't they be taken advantage of by the Cao thief? Hanzhong and Yizhou are each other's lips and teeth, and if Hanzhong is broken by the Cao thief, then Yizhou will not be safe! I hope His Royal Highness the King of Shu will think twice!" "
Sir is reasonable, but this matter is very important, and I will consult with all the ministers to confirm it." Please go back to the inn for the time being and wait for news!" Liu Zhang's attitude was much kinder at this time.
"Foreign ministers retreat!" Sun Qian saluted again and left the hall.
"What do you think?" asked Liu Zhang after Sun Qian left.
"Master, I think what Sun Qian said is reasonable, we can form an alliance!"
"The subordinates also think that they can form an alliance!" Zhang Song said, "Now Hanzhong is the barrier of our Yizhou, and the lips are cold. The northern Cao Cao is strong, and only by forming an alliance can it be able to fight against
Cao Cao!" In
Zhang Song's heart, Yizhou was in Liu Zhang's hands, much easier than in Cao Cao's hands, and Liu Cao would have to seize it in the future.
"Subordinates agree
!" "Since all the secretaries agree, then we will form an alliance with Hanzhong." The specific matters were taken care of by Wang Lei, Huang Quan, and Zhang Song!" "
Nuo!" Outside
Chen Cang's city, Cao Cao's entire army of 50,000 people camped along both sides of Weishui.
The recent period has been a mixed blessing for Cao Cao.
The southern princes were led by his nose, which made Cao Cao feel very happy.
Jingzhou Liu Jun and Jiangdong Sun Quan had already fought hard, and although there were Wei Yan's 20,000 troops in Yique Pass, Cao Cao did not have to worry at all, because Liu Jun did not dare to fight on both the north and south at the same time.
Liu Bei of Hanzhong is now nervous, although he just shook a false shot and left Chencheng, but it will take a while for Liu Bei to get out of the valley. And during this time, as long as he defeated Ma Teng, then Liu Bei did not dare to fish in the water.
But there were also things that made Cao Cao unhappy, and Xun Wenruo's death made him feel a little guilty in his heart.
Xun Yu and Cao Cao are both masters and courtiers, but also very good friends. They had the same aspirations, and for decades, Xun Yu had been advising Cao Cao so that he could have the inheritance of the north.
However, the two disagreed on the treatment of the Han family. Cao Cao felt that Xun Yu had always been dead-headed, and now, the big man was terminally ill, how could he be able to help him? The general trend of the world, those who follow it prosper, and those who go against it die. Xia Wei has no way, Shang Tang replaces it, Zhou loses his deer, the world chases it, Qin sweeps Liuhe, and Qin Youchu dies, this is unstoppable.
Xun Yu was so foolish and loyal that the two gradually drifted apart, so that they became strangers.
Xun Yu's death, Cao Cao was a little remorseful. And after Xun Yu died, Xun Yu also fell ill. Cao Cao suddenly felt that his heart was empty.
However, this conquest of Xiliang Ma Teng is urgent. The heavens used his dreams to alert him that if he did not act, it would definitely cause bitter fruit, and even bring disaster to the entire Cao family.
As Cao Cao was thinking, Jia Xu and Liu Ye came to the king's tent.
"Wen and Ziyang, how is Ma Teng's defense?" Cao Cao asked, "Can we storm
Chen Cangcheng?"
"Lord, Chen Cang City is built by the mountain, the city is tall and strong, Ma Teng has already prepared, above the head of the city, the equipment to defend the city is piled up like a mountain, twenty miles south of the city, Ma Chao led 5,000 soldiers and horses, backed by the Qinling Mountains, facing Weishui to set up a camp, forming a horn with Chen Cangcheng, it is very difficult to attack. Jia Xu said slowly.
"Can you march along the Qinling Valley, bypass Chen Cang, and cut off his way back?" Cao Cao found Chen Cangcheng vulnerable when he first arrived.
"Master, bypassing Chen Cang, there are two paths to surprise soldiers!" said Liu Ye.
"Which two roads?" asked Cao Cao hurriedly.
Liu Ye took out a map and drew on it with his hand.
"The first one can go directly to Longxi County through the scattered pass from here; the second one is to go directly to Tianshui County through the street pavilion from here!
"Lord
, the ghost pawn sent news that the defenders of Longxi County are Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu, with a total of 10,000 troops, but they are scattered in three cities. The defender of Tianshui County will be Jiang Yan, with only five thousand troops!" Jia Xu had already understood the situation clearly.
"Ha..." Cao Cao burst out laughing after hearing this, "It's really heaven help me, Ma Teng will lose!"
