Chapter 924

The next day, early in the morning.

The army led by Zhang Ya has begun to divide into two groups. Twenty thousand troops, pretending to be eighty-nine thousand troops, head straight to Jiaxian County in the northeast. At the first moment, the news spread to Fucheng county and Xiangcheng County.

However, in one day, the news has arrived in Xiangyang City.

Cao Ren, as the chief general, quickly called together Yu Jin, lejin and Zhang Liao after he got the news. He told them about the situation of Zhang Yan's army going to Jiaxian county. He said solemnly, "what we need to consider now is how to resolve the crisis in Jiaxian county. What suggestions do you have?"

After pondering over it, Yu Jin said, "Zhang Yan is in Nanyang County. He has a strong army. On the surface, he is going to the army of 80000 or 90000, but in fact, it may be a feigned momentum."

"Maybe he has already divided his troops to intercept our reinforcements on the way to Jiaxian."

"Once you go to Jiaxian County for help now, you will be in trouble. What's more, we are short of troops now, and Liu Bei's army is still on the way to the north, so we can't meet for the time being. "

"At this time, I don't think it's wise to fight Zhang jaw."

Yu Jin said: if we are defeated before Liu Bei arrives, we will be defeated individually. In any case, we have to wait until Liu Bei's army arrives. My suggestion is that the army should be stationed in Xiangcheng County for the time being and not take care of Jia County's affairs. "

As a general in the army, even though Yu Jin had made mistakes several times and even been captured, he was still highly valued under Cao Cao.

After all, Yu knows that he can lead soldiers to fight.

After hearing Yu Jin's analysis, Cao Ren shook his head and said, "General Yu's suggestion is good. This is the law of keeping success. However, I hope to stabilize the situation in Jiaxian county and keep Xiangcheng County

"It's not easy!"

Yu Jin shook his head and answered.

Zhang Liao sat down and suddenly said, "I have a suggestion for Zhang to go to Jiaxian in the north. Perhaps, this can hold back Zhang's attack. "

Yu Jin said, "what's Wen Yuan's suggestion?"

Zhang Liao replied, "my suggestion is that we should fight our jaw. Zhang Xi and Huang Zhong, with a large army, went straight to Jiaxian county. Now, we are sending some troops straight to Fucheng county. "

"Even if Zhang Xi and Huang Zhong removed the original magistrate of Fucheng County, he even arranged for another person to take charge of the county. But in fact, after all, Fucheng county is that of the state of Wei. If we attack again, it will not be difficult to capture it. "

"So I'm sure that when our army goes to Fucheng County, Zhang Ya and Huang Zhong are worried that their foundation will not be stable, and they will probably not attack Jia County any more, but withdraw and return to Fucheng county to fight against us."

"As long as Zhang jaw withdraws, we will immediately withdraw and return to Xiangcheng County."

"In a word, it's not confrontation with the Qin army, which only forces the Qin army not to go all out to attack Jiaxian, not to capture Jiaxian and maintain the present situation. If we want to make Zhang Ya and Huang Zhong understand that if we want to go to Xudu, we have to seize Xiangcheng County head-on. "

Zhang Liao said: "in this way, we can not only avoid a direct battle with the Qin army, but also keep our strength and territory. This is my proposal to resist the Qin army. "

"Wonderful

When Cao Ren heard this, his eyes lit up.

This is the best advice that Cao Ren heard. In this way, he can restrain the army of Qin.

Even the army of Qin could not go to Jiaxian any more. This time, it would waste countless time. In the end, Liu Bei's army had gone north. Once Liu Bei's army also arrived in Xiangcheng County and joined Cao Ren, the strength of both sides increased. Even though the number of troops was slightly less than that of the Qin army, they had the strength to fight against the Qin army.

Cao Ren didn't hesitate any more and said directly, "just follow Wen Yuan's advice!"

Yu Jin frowned.

He was a veteran, but Cao Ren didn't think about it at all. Instead, he directly agreed with Zhang Liao's proposal. Yu Jin felt uncomfortable, but he didn't speak. After all, Cao Ren was the commander in chief.

It's not easy for the Qin army.

Cao Ren quickly arranged to act according to Zhang Liao's suggestion.

Just like this, Cao Ren arranged for Zhang Liao to lead 10000 elites to leave Xiangcheng County. Under the command of Cao Cao, Zhang Liao was highly valued by Cao Cao. As a matter of fact, there were other people under Lu Bu's command, such as Wei Xu and Cao Xing, but Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were respected by Cao Cao and really led the army.

Zhang Liao led the army and went on his way according to the original plan, and this was a grand march.

When Zhang Liao's troops were approaching Fucheng County, a sentinel sent back the news that the Qin army, which was going north to Jiaxian County, had begun to retreat. Instead of going to Jiaxian County, it began to come in the direction of Fucheng county.

When Zhang Liao learned the news, he withdrew as soon as possible without delay.

He has only 10000 people.

Once the time is delayed and surrounded by the Qin army, it is difficult to retreat.

So Zhang Liao retreated quickly.

Shortly after Zhang Liao's retreat, the troops who went north to Jiaxian County returned to their father's town and settled down again. This time, Zhang Ya personally led the troops to the south. Under the planning of Jia Xu and Pang Tong, he had quietly entered Kunyang county and settled down in Kunyang County, waiting for the arrival of Liu Bei's army.Kunyang County, on the tower.

Zhang jaw sits on the tower of the town, but the flag of the tower has not changed, it is still the flag of Cao Wei. Now Zhang's sentinel has been walking in Kunyang County, constantly asking for information.

This day, just after noon.

A sentry quickly withdrew and came to the tower.

Now, in April, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. Under the sunshine and running all the way, the Sentinels who come back to send messages are already sweating. After entering the city, he saw Zhang jaw and reported: "General Zhang, Liu Bei's army, is less than 15 li away from the county seat. According to the information, the number of Liu Bei's army is about 30000. Its troops, mainly infantry, are very few

Zhang Yan said, "explore again!"

After the sentry stepped down, Zhang chin looked at Jia Xu and said, "Jia Shangshu, do you think Liu Bei will be willing to enter the city and supply in Kunyang County next time?"

Jia Xu said: "if that is the case, Liu Bei's army can be completely wiped out, and even Liu Bei's Chu state will collapse, and it can no longer be maintained."

"But it's very unlikely."

"Even Liu Bei's troops don't need food supplies from Kunyang county. They may settle down in Kunyang county a little, and then continue to go north to Xiangcheng County."

Jia Xu said: "after all, Liu Bei is in a hurry to catch the time. In particular, as long as Liu Bei arrives in Xiangcheng and meets Cao Ren, his supplies will be complete. "

How can we defeat Liu Bei

Jia Xu said: "first, it's better to ambush Liu Bei in the city. In case Liu Bei's brain is drained and he is willing to rest in Kunyang County, this is a chance to catch a turtle in a jar. "

"It's preparation."

"As for the success or failure, it depends on the sky. After all, it depends on the people who plan for the success."

"Second, if Liu Bei needs food supplies, we will give them a batch of problematic food, which will make the soldiers in his army feel sick after eating, and then they will attack by surprise."

"Third, if Liu Bei just stops outside the city, or even goes straight north, we will attack Liu Bei when Liu Bei's army leaves the county seat of Kunyang county."

Jia Xu said: "at that time, we will work hard to defeat Liu Bei's forces."

When he said that, Jia Xu's eyes flashed a cold look.

He is very decisive.

Up to now, it's time to shine the knife. We can't procrastinate any more. If you procrastinate again, in the end, it will only be a waste of time and a missed opportunity.

When it's time to do it, do it decisively.

This is Jia Xu's consistent style.
