Chapter 923

The situation in Dongjun was frozen for a while. Zhang Xiu always stayed in Puyang County and did not go to war at all. With enough troops, equipment and food, Zhang Xiu kept everything, and Cao Cao had no way to take Zhang Xiu.

The situation between the two sides is deadlocked.

Neither can win.

When Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao were at a standoff, the army led by Zhang Yan had already invaded and directly captured the county. Zhang Ya's army claims to have 80000 or 90000 troops, but its actual strength is no less than 60000. After such an army arrived in Fucheng County, the tiny troops of Fucheng County simply couldn't carry it and chose to surrender.

After the army led by Zhang Ya took over Fucheng County, he adjusted the officials of Fucheng county and firmly controlled it. When Zhang Ya's army was ready to continue eastward to Xu county, it received news from the front line.

Cao Ren led 30000 elites to Xiangcheng County, which is adjacent to Fucheng county.

This is the only way to the east to Xudu.

In the county, in the barracks.

Zhang Ya, a Guli, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others all gathered in the camp.

Zhang Yan looked around and said, "now Cao Ren is in Xiangcheng County. Xiangcheng is different from Fucheng county. The city is solid and not easy to attack. Without Cao Ren's army, we could sweep Xiangcheng County. But even though we have 60000 troops, Cao Ren's 30000 troops are in Xiangcheng County. We can't take Xiangcheng County. Can Pang Shangshu and Jia Shangshu deal with this? "

Pang Tong said, "I don't think it's difficult. As long as we don't attack Xiangcheng County, but go to the north of Xiangcheng County and attack Jia County, which is adjacent to Xiangcheng County, we can break the situation. If Cao Ren doesn't send troops, he can only watch us capture Jiaxian. If Cao Ren sends out troops, our forces will be enough to defeat him. "

"What Pang Shangshu said is true. This is a good plan," he said

"I agree with Pang Shangshu's suggestion, but what I'm considering is that Cao Ren and Liu Bei of Runan have reached an agreement, or that they have already had contact."

"When we go north to Jiaxian, or even fight Cao Ren, Liu Bei will suddenly step into the battlefield. At that time, facing the attack of Cao Jun and Liu Bei, we may be in danger. "

"So when dealing with Cao Ren, we must consider Liu Bei's forces, which is extremely important," Zhang said

Pang Tong said, "what general Zhang said is true."

When he spoke, he turned his eyes to Jia Xu. This is the real old man who can handle things without leaking.

Jia Xu said slowly: "in my opinion, it's not difficult for us to compete with Cao Ren and Liu Bei's troops at the same time. But it is not easy to deal with both sides at the same time, or even wipe them out at the same time. "

"So we have to choose one side to do the calculation."

"Attack one side, open the breach."

"If we try our best to figure out Cao Ren, but with the help of Liu Bei, it is difficult to wipe out Cao Ren completely. Moreover, even if Cao Ren is eliminated, Liu Bei will not retreat. Because once he retreats and the state of Wei is destroyed, he can't survive. "

"So to deal with Cao Ren is to deal with Liu Bei and Cao Ren at the same time."

Jia Xu's eyes were full of sharp light and said: "now we have to calculate, and the one who can calculate is Liu Bei. Because Cao Ren's first priority is not to help Liu Bei, but to guard Xu Du. "

"In addition to our defeat of Liu Bei, it is also beneficial for Huang Zhong to go north."

"According to the plan mentioned by Pang Shangshu just now, we will go north to Jiaxian county to draw out Cao Ren's troops. In fact, this line alone may produce two possibilities. "

"The first possibility is that Cao Ren does not go to Jia County, but to Fucheng county. You hit you, I hit me. Because once Cao Ren seizes Fucheng County, it is tantamount to cutting off our retreat. "

"The second possibility is that Cao Ren will go directly to Jiaxian county to stop us. Such a possibility, Cao Ren quite passive, and even easy to be calculated by us

Jia Xu summed up: "therefore, I think that for Cao Ren, a wise general, he either does not send troops. Once he sends troops, he will attack Fucheng County, which not only avoids our edge, but also makes us come back."

Zhang Yan's eyes flashed a light, praised: "Jia Shangshu means, once we come back, Cao Ren may ambush us halfway, both sides fight?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "no, if I were Cao Ren, I would not take the initiative to attack, nor would I choose to ambush, because it is easy to cause accidents. The safest thing is to withdraw."

Zhang Yan said: "but if Cao Ren ambushes, there is a possibility that less will win more."

Jia Xu said confidently, "if it were Cao Cao, or the other generals of Cao Cao, it would be possible. Cao Ren, if you study his style carefully, you will find that he is extremely cautious. Just so, Cao Cao arranged him to guard. I decided that if we came back to Jiaxian County, he would withdraw immediately and return to Xiangcheng County again. Everything is back to the original origin. "

Pang Tong said, "in this way, will it soon be a waste of money?"

"Yes, this is exactly what Cao Ren hopes for."Jia Xu said: "after all, the main force of Cao's army is concentrated in Dongjun. As long as Cao Cao wins, Cao Ren's garrison is a success. On the other hand, even if Cao Ren doesn't take the initiative to attack, as long as he drags down our army, for Cao Ren, he thinks that he has achieved his goal. "

Open jaw, slightly nod.

Jia Xu's analysis is indeed quite detailed and extremely useful.

Pang Tong said: "Jia Shangshu, since it is such a premise, how can we calculate Liu Bei?"

"Divide

There was a flash of light in Jia Xu's eyes. He solemnly said, "I dare to conclude that Cao Ren will go ahead according to the plan just now. We can't fight with Cao Ren."

"So in this plan, I think we can make a bluff, send more than 20000 soldiers, pretend to be all our troops, and go to Jiaxian County in a big way to confuse Cao Ren."

"The rest of the main forces are heading south as fast as possible to Kunyang county to the south of Fucheng county."

Jia Xu said: "if Liu Bei's army wants to go north, it is bound to reach Kunyang County, and then go north from Kunyang county to Xiangcheng County. Let's take control of Kunyang county first and calculate Liu Bei's army in Kunyang county. "

Guli listened to Jia Xu's words and gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

In the face of Jia Xu, he always feels awe inexplicably.

Fear in your heart!

The old man is terrible and calculating too much. If you are right with Jia Xu, you don't know how to die.

In his heart, ah Guli mourned for Liu Bei.

Bad luck to meet Jia Xu!

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhang had some worries. If everything is as Jia Xu deduced, there will be no problem. However, unlike Jia Xu's deduction, Cao Ren's army directly attacked Jia County, or even killed them back to Fucheng County, and everything in his plan changed.

Fighting on the battlefield, a small change in plan, will lead to countless changes in the plan.

Everything will change.

That's the battle.

The situation is changing rapidly.

After careful consideration, Zhang looked at Pang Tong and asked, "what does Pang Shangshu think?"

Pang Tong said: "I agree with Jia Shangshu's analysis. Once the plan is successful, the situation in Nanyang County will be broken, and it will no longer be a stalemate. Even if the plan fails, it will have little impact. It's a big deal. The troops going to Jia County are retreating, and the troops in Kunyang county are also retreating. "

Zhang Ya was not a hesitant person. Seeing that Pang Tong and Jia Xu agreed, he directly ordered: "if so, according to what Jia Shangshu said, according to this plan."

Now, Zhang began to make arrangements.

One after another, the whole army moved quickly.
