Chapter 279
Everyone didn't dare to squeak, so they could only let Cao Cao be furious.
After a long time, Cao Cao was exhausted and sat down on the steps.
"My lord, the wood is already in the boat, please mourn. "
"Please also ask the king to focus on the overall situation and cheer up. "
Guo Jia said hard at this time.
Cao Cao let out a long breath, barely calmed down, and regained some of his senses.
"Fengxiao, Zhongda, tell me, what should this king do now?"
Cao Cao's mind was in turmoil, and he had lost his square inch.
"The street pavilion has been lost, and it is pointless for us to sneak attack Chang'an again. "
"The minister thought that he should immediately return to Tianshui, shrink all the soldiers and horses to the line of Jicheng, and rely on Weishui to resist the enemy. "
"As for what to do next, we can only take one step at a time. "
Guo Jia has no clever plan to turn things around.
Cao Cao's gaze looked at Sima Yi.
Sima Yi pondered for a long time, and a fine light flashed between his eyebrows.
"My lord, I think that we still have two foreign aids available, and we have not yet reached the end of the mountain. "
"Which two foreign aids?"
Cao Cao's spirits lifted slightly.
"Yizhou, the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu!"
Sima Yi raised his hand and pointed south:
"This person has always been ambitious, as early as the Liu Zhang period, he supported the army and respected himself, and seized Nanzhong. "090
"Now the Han army in Yizhou is gathered on the front line of Qishan, and the strength of Yizhou must be empty. "
"The king can send an envoy to the south to seal Meng and lead the Yizhou pastor, so that he can lead the army north to capture Chengdu. "
"In this way, Zhang Fei of Qishan will definitely return to Yizhou, and as soon as the pressure on my south is reduced, I will be able to transfer troops to Jizhou to deal with Liu Bei's main force. "
Hearing Sima Yi's plan, Cao Cao was slightly moved, but his eyes were hesitant.
His ambition back then was to be the general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the west, pacify the Qiang people for the Han Dynasty, and expand the territory.
In his eyes, the barbarians are all aliens who should be crusaded.
But now, in order to deal with Liu Bei, he borrowed the power of the Southern Barbarians, which was really against his original intention.
"The king is just using the southern barbarians. "
"In the future, after repelling Liu Bei and pacifying Yizhou, the king will naturally crusade against the Nanban and make Meng be ambushed. "
"What he is doing now is just forced by Liu Bei and he has to do it as a last resort. "
"Please also ask the king to focus on the overall situation. "
Sima Yi saw Cao Cao's hesitation, so he made a high-sounding statement to dispel Cao Cao's concerns.
Cao Cao weighed for a moment and sighed softly.
This light sigh represents the acquiescence of Sima Yi's offering.
"This second reinforcement is Gongsun Du of Liaodong!"
Sima Yi pointed to the northeast again.
"Gongsun Du has been entrenched in Liaodong for more than ten years, and there are no less than tens of thousands of Liaodong iron riders under his command, which is quite a bit of a background. "
"If the king sends an envoy to Xiangping and tells Gongsun Duxiao that his lips are cold and his teeth are cold, it may not be impossible to say that Gongsun Dutie rode into Kou Youzhou. "
In this way, even if Liu Bei's division cannot be forced to retreat, at least it can be forced to send troops and horses back to save Youzhou. "
"With these two lines of soldiers and horses divided into Liu Bei's troops, the pressure on my Great Qin can be alleviated. "
"As long as the king commands us and others, relying on the Weishui defense line, holding Jicheng, and confronting Liu Bei, we may not be able to survive until the world changes and Liu Bei retreats. "
Sima Yi's mouth was like a river, with confidence on his face, and he planned a way out for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's gloomy eyes regained a bit of brilliance.
Whether it is Meng Shu or Gongsun Du, his strength is naturally far from being comparable to Yuan Shao back then.
But no matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is also mosquito meat, and these two can more or less share some pressure for themselves.
"That's it, as Zhong Da said, send an envoy to the south and Liaodong. "
Cao Cao finally adopted Sima Yi's proposal.
Then he took a deep breath, cheered up, and shouted: "Order, the whole army marches lightly, and immediately return to Jicheng!"
The 50,000 Qin troops had to give up the surprise attack on Chang'an and hurriedly return to Longxi along the original road.
When Cao Cao hurriedly returned to his division and retreated to Weikou.
The main force led by Liu Bei has successfully joined forces with Zhang He's department in the street pavilion. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Street Pavilion Castle Interior.
Liu Bei set up a banquet to commend Zhang He and Deng Ai for their achievements in this battle.
"If it weren't for Xiao Cheng's understanding of Cao Hong's trick and discovering the dark water source (AEAF) hidden in the back of the mountain, how could the ministers and others capture the street pavilion so easily. "
"This battle is really the work of Prime Minister Xiao. "
Zhang He didn't dare to make a fool of himself, and gave all the credit to Xiao Yuan.
"Dark water?"
Liu Bei was very interested, so he asked Zhang He about the battle of the street pavilion.
Zhang He explained the cause and effect as it was.
Liu Bei suddenly realized and looked at Xiao Yuan: "Prime Minister Changsu, could it be that Ma Jian failed to guard the street pavilion, and this is also the reason?"
"I guess so. "
Xiao Yuan nodded slightly.
Liu Bei stroked his short hair and said: "Then it seems that this Ma Jian is actually not a mediocre talent, but his luck is a little bad." "
"It's not just mediocrity. "
"When Kong Ming crusaded against the Southern Barbarians, he also offered a strategy of attacking the heart and attacking the city. "
"If this Ma Tan is used properly, even if it is not as good as the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, in time, he will at least be a strategist of Chen Yuanlong's level. "
Xiao Yuan gave Ma Tan an objective evaluation.
Pang Tong Zhang He and others on the left and right listened to the clouds, what horses and what crusades against the Southern Barbarians, and they didn't know what to do.
Liu Bei nodded slightly, and said happily: "Since this Ma Jian is talented, how can this king not use it, I don't know if the prime minister knows where he is now?"
"This person is Ma Liang's younger brother, he should be in Jingzhou, and the king sent someone to conquer it. "
Liu Bei immediately ordered to prepare an edict and send people to Jingzhou to recruit Ma Tan into the Han Dynasty's overlord as an official.
At this time, the scout sent another urgent telegram.
The emergency report claimed that Cao Cao, the main force of the Qin army, had withdrawn from Ding'an County and was retreating to the Jicheng line.
This news surprised everyone.
"Cao Cao's main force, isn't it the garrison of Luoyang, supporting the street pavilion, how can it appear in Anding County?"
Liu Bei looked puzzled.
Pang Tong's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "King, we have fallen for Cao Cao's tricks, the main force of Cao's army in Luoyang must be suspicious, he wants to bypass Longshan from Anding County and sneak attack my Chang'an City along Jingshui south!"
Liu Bei's body was shocked, and he hurriedly called for a map.
After taking a closer look, it suddenly dawned on me, and I couldn't help but shiver.
"It turned out that Cao Cao wanted to use the street pavilion to nail my main force, but secretly attacked Chang'an from Anding County and cut off my back road. "
"I have to say that Cao Cao's plan is really treacherous and vicious. "
Liu Bei broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.
Pang Tong sneered: "Although Cao Cao's strategy is tricky, he doesn't want the king to have Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, so he broke the street pavilion with a snap of his fingers, and let his strategy fall short, which proves that the king is the destiny of heaven!"
A sentence of destiny made Liu Bei thoughtful.
Xiao Yuan said lightly: "Cao Cao's army will definitely retreat to Jicheng, relying on Weishui to defend it, King, my army will go south immediately and go straight to Jicheng." "
Liu Bei retracted his thoughts from his emotion, was in good spirits, and happily ordered.
300,000 Han troops entered the Longxi Plain from the street pavilion and marched south.
It was late spring.
The two armies of Qin and Han were on the front line of Jicheng, separated by Weishui, forming a confrontation.
