Chapter 846

Xu Shu made an analysis, and he said firmly: "if Cao Cao wants to do something, his goal must be Nanyang."

Liu Xiumei shook his head and asked, "why?"

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Chu and Wei confrontation, Cao Cao and his majesty confrontation, in addition to Cao Cao now this road, the most suitable only Nanyang."

"To the north, if we attack Chang'an and Liangzhou, we can't get around Luoyang."

"To the south, if we attack Jingzhou and Yangzhou, we can't get around Nanyang."

"Luoyang and Nanyang are the throats of Chu."

"When Cao Cao captured Luoyang, he had a chance to get to Chang'an and Liangzhou. If Cao Cao captured Nanyang, he would have a chance to go south to Jingzhou and Yangzhou. "

"It's very strange that Cao Cao stationed troops in Chenliu County, and after some fighting, he just stood still."

"If Cao Cao had another battlefield, he would be in Nanyang."

Xu Shu's eyes are shining with wisdom.

Under Liu Xiu's command, Xu Shu was not brilliant.

This is not because Xu Shu is not competent, but because Xu Shu has always been rooted in the army.

They are either stationed in Xiangyang or Luoyang.

Xu Shu did not take part in all previous wars. However, Xu Shu's ability was no less than that of Pang Tong and others.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Yuanzhi, I also agree with your analysis."

"If Cao Cao opens up another battlefield, he must be in Nanyang."

"But it's not easy to have Zhang Ren in Nanyang."

Liu Xiu's expression was solemn and his eyes looked forward to it.

At present, we can only expect Zhang Ren to stabilize the situation.

Xu Shu's expression was dignified. After thinking for a while, he continued: "Your Majesty, to attack Nanyang, there is not only one way to go south from Yingchuan County, but also another way to go to Yuzhou and obliquely plunge into Nanyang. There are many mountain roads along this road, but it will work

Liu Xiu nodded and agreed with Xu Shu's analysis.

If Cao Cao is determined to attack Nanyang County, he can really go to Yuzhou.

But Jingzhou is not without strength.

In Xiangyang, Jingzhou, there is an army under the command of Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was originally stationed in Wuling county. Because wenpin went to Luoyang, Zhao Yun was transferred back to Xiangyang and led his army to stay in Xiangyang.

Moreover, Jiang Xia also had the garrison of taishici.

It can be said that Xiangyang is as solid as gold.

If Cao Cao's army raided Nanyang County, it would not benefit much.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a soldier entered quickly.

The soldier knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, please read the war report just received."

With these words, the soldier handed in the war report.

Liu Xiu took it, looked at the lacquer of the envelope, and then opened it. After reading it, he looked gloomy and said in a deep voice, "Yuanzhi, you guessed it. Nanyang County was attacked."

Xu Shu couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, who will lead the Cao army?"

Liu xiudao: "Zhang Liao."

The man who came back to Cao Cao caught Liu Xiu by surprise.

Xu Shu asked again, "what's the result?"

Liu Xiu said: "Zhang Liao led a large army into Nanyang County and captured Wan county directly with a thunderous attack. This is the news so far. The latest situation is not clear for the moment. "

Xu Shu's face became serious.

Wen pin, Ma Chao and others are worried.

Who did not expect, Cao Cao arranged a trump card, raided Nanyang County.

In this way, it was extremely unfavorable to the state of Chu.

Xu Shu's mind changed rapidly, thinking about the solution. He thought and analyzed: "Your Majesty, Wan county is lost and Nanyang County is in crisis. What will Zhang Liao do next? "

"Weichen thinks that there are three possibilities."

"First, Zhang Liao will attack Zhang Ren's headquarters in Yingchuan county from Nanyang."

"Second, go north to Luoyang and attack our rear."

"Third, go south to Jingzhou and disrupt the situation in the south."

"But if we carefully analyze these three possibilities, in fact, only the first one should be effective."

"The first one, if you have mental calculation but no intention, is enough to catch any one off guard."

"Second, Luoyang is the hinterland, but also the imperial capital."

"Although there are not many troops in Luoyang, Luoyang is a strong city and has certain strength. Even if Zhang Liao invades Luoyang, even if the garrison of Luoyang can't defeat Zhang Liao, it's no problem to delay three or five days. "

"And three or five days is enough for us to feel Luoyang."

"Even if we can't get there, Zhao Yun in the South will surely go north and catch up with Zhang Liao."

"Third, Xiangyang is our former base camp."

"In Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the legions are stationed and there are many troops."

"If Zhang Liao leads his army to the south, he may not be able to get the benefit.""In addition to the different fighting methods in the south, it was difficult for Zhang Liao's cavalry to give full play to their strength when they entered Xiangyang. So Wei Chen concluded that Zhang Liao could not go south. "

Xu Shu analyzed them one by one.

The more he analyzed, the more frightened he was.

Suddenly, Xu Shu said aloud, "Your Majesty, I understand. Zhang Liao attacked Wan county to attack Zhang Ren. "

"Zhang Ren was stationed in Yingchuan County, very close to Nanyang."

"When Nanyang fell and news came out, the first person to get the news must be Zhang Ren."

"Zhang Ren's emphasis on WAN county is bound to send troops to rescue."

"When Zhang Liao conquered Wan County, he had enough time. He can lay an ambush and wait for Zhang Ren to get in. As long as Zhang Ren sends troops, he will surely be ambushed. "

Xu Shu's eyes twinkled and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Liao's goal must be Zhang Ren. This time, Zhang Ren is in danger."

Liu Xiu frowned after listening.

After hearing this, wenpin said, "Mr. Xu, your analysis is reasonable, and Zhang Liao did take Nanyang by surprise. But Zhang Ren is not bad. With general Zhang's ability, even if he takes back Wan County, he can protect himself. "

Xu Shu shook his head and sighed: "general, Zhang Liao is not an ordinary person. Moreover, Zhang Ren is at a disadvantage because of his mental calculation but not his intention, and the unequal information between the two sides. In addition, Wan county is Zhang Ren's hometown, and a lot of grain and grass are transported from Wan county. Wan County lost, Zhang Ren can sit? If Zhang Ren rescues Wan County, he will fall into the trap. "

"Step on it! Step on it

Suddenly, another rush of footsteps came from outside the camp.

A soldier entered, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, Nanyang war report."

After receiving the war report, Liu Xiu read it again, looking full of regret, sighed: "unfortunately, we found it late. It's really accurate for Yuan Zhi. Zhang Liao's goal is Zhang Ren. "

"Zhang Ren led his troops to withdraw from Yingchuan to Nanyang for rescue. This retreat was ambushed on the way to retreat."

"Zhang Ren's army suffered heavy losses in this war."

"Fortunately, Zhao Yun acted decisively. When he got the loss of Wan County, he decisively led his troops north."

"When Zhang Ren was defeated and killed, Zhao Yun led a team of vanguard cavalry to kill him and rescued Zhang Ren."

"But Zhang Ren's army is almost disabled."

Liu Xiu clenched the war report and squeezed it into a group, with an angry look in his eyes.

Cao Cao made a wonderful move this time.

In this game, Cao Cao won the first step.

Liu Xiu continued: "after the first World War in Nanyang, Zhao Yun led his troops to fight and recaptured Wan County, while Zhang Liao withdrew from Nanyang County and stationed in Yingchuan county."

"Now Nanyang County is still under our control. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao confront each other."

"This time, Cao Cao won."

"The battle in Nanyang has come to an end. Cao Cao should be ready to take action soon."

Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled with light.

This time, Cao Cao caught him by surprise.

It's true that Liu Xiu was negligent before. Before that, he was busy with moving the capital.

As a result, he ignored many things and was drilled into Confucius by Cao Cao.

Take a cut and learn.

Now, Liu Xiu has to make a fresh start, wrestle with Cao Cao and take back all the losses.

Cao Cao just won the opening game, and the battle has just begun.

The final victory must belong to Liu Xiu.
