Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Cao Cao was very cunning and took Li City first. However, Cao Cao also made a fatal mistake.
This mistake was that Zhang Liao's troops in Licheng were too few.
Li City is not a fortified city, and the city does not have much food and grass. Zhang Liao only has a thousand soldiers. If Yan Liang intends to break the city, he can capture Li City in just a few days.
However, what happens after Li City is captured?
At that time, Cao Cao was simply leading his army to retreat to Xicheng, west of Li City. His army was still putting pressure on Nanyang, and General Yan Liang was still in a passive defensive position.
Such an unpleasant situation is something Yan Liang does not want to see.
Therefore, Yan Liangcai wanted to besiege Li City and not attack it. Cao Cao had no choice but to lead his army to the designated place to fight his Yan family army. In this way, Cao Cao was led by Yan Liang. Nose goes.
This is Jia Xu¡¯s plan to change from passive to active.
With Lu Lingqi¡¯s resourcefulness, she naturally could not guess Yan Liang¡¯s intentions. Even a general as resourceful as Zhang He couldn¡¯t help but look puzzled when he heard that Yan Liang decided to lay siege to Li City instead of attacking it.
"It's useless, it's useless. I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I really don't understand what my sworn brother means." Lu Lingqi said blankly.
Yan Liang didn't waste a word and glanced at Jia Xu, who was stroking his beard and smiling secretly.
Jia Xu then coughed a few times and unhurriedly explained Yan Liang's deep intentions to the generals present.
After listening to Jia Xu¡¯s explanation, the generals were still savoring its meaning, but Zhang He¡¯s eyes lit up first.
He nodded and said: "If Cao Cao raises a large army to rescue us, we can wait and force him to fight a decisive battle. If Cao Cao leaves Zhang Liao and does not save him, it will make all his generals feel cold. This plan of my lord will definitely make Cao Cao fall into trouble." It¡¯s really a dilemma.¡±
Among the generals, Zhang He is indeed the most strategic and has the ability to understand better than others.
After he explained like this, the other generals such as Lu Lingqi and Huang Zhong suddenly realized.
Lu Lingqi's somewhat suppressed emotions suddenly rose again, and the hunting fire of revenge burned in her clear eyes again.
Lu Lingqi felt excited at the thought of a decisive battle with Cao Cao and a head-on confrontation with the enemy who killed her father.
At that moment, she said with emotion: "Since my sworn brother has an idea, I feel relieved. Don't worry, sworn brother, if Cao Cao really dares to come for a decisive battle, even if Lingqi goes through fire and water, she will behead the old thief for my sworn brother."
Lu Lingqi¡¯s hunting and fighting spirit also infected the other generals.
Veteran general Huang Zhong also came out, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, when I was in Jingnan, I heard that Cao Cao had countless good generals. Now I will fight with these old bones to have a good meeting with the so-called fierce generals in Cao Cao's camp."
Huang Zhong was eager to make a name for himself. Needless to say, the other two generals Chou and Zhang He, who were Yuan Shao's generals and had old grudges with Cao Cao, were naturally very passionate and expressed their willingness to fight to the death for Yan Liang.
In the big tent, the rising fighting spirit was surging. Even though Yan Liang was as calm as water, he gradually became excited by this burning fighting spirit.
In his arrogance, Yan Liang stood up and laughed loudly: "You all have such determination, I am very pleased. Okay, let's fight side by side, let Cao Cao see the true power of our Yan family army, let's He paid a heavy price for this invasion!"
"I am willing to fight to the death for my lord¡ª¡ª"
"I am willing to fight to the death for my lord¡ª¡ª"
The angry and generous roars, rumbling like thunder, could be clearly heard throughout the camp. When the soldiers of the Yan Family Army heard this, the blood in their chests was boiling.
? ######
One day later, Cao Cao's 30,000-strong army also pursued Li City. Unfortunately, Cao Cao was a step too late.
At this time, Yan Liang had urgently mobilized 3,000 soldiers and horses from Wancheng to help, and ordered Xu You to rush to Wancheng from Xiangyang to guard Wancheng on his behalf.
This means that at this time, Yan Liang's troops gathered in Li City had reached an unprecedented 40,000.
So Yan Liang ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses to besieged the former city of Li, completely cutting off Zhang Liao's troops from the outside world.
Yan Liang himself set up a camp of 30,000 troops in the northwest of Li City to confront Cao Cao.
Because Cao Cao had to maintain the food road leading to the county in the northwest, his 30,000-strong army could only set up a camp twenty miles outside Li City to form a confrontation with Yan Liang's army.
Except for the 10,000 siege troops, 30,000 vs. 30,000, and the number of cavalry is equal. On the surface, Yan Liang and Cao Cao are evenly matched.
As for Cao Cao, because he was worried about the threat from the Xiliang army, Chen Cang was not able to fight on the front line.Xia Houyuan's heavy troops had to be left behind.
In order to defend Yuan Tan's army in Xudu, Yan Liang had to leave Xu Shu's 10,000 troops in Kunyang City.
Yan Liang¡¯s advantage is that he is playing at home, with sufficient supplies of food and grass, and transportation of food is not a problem.
As for Cao Cao, although he had to transport grain from Guan to Nanyang via Wuguan, due to Cao Cao's recuperation and recuperation over the years, Guan's economy recovered very quickly, and the grain he stationed was quite abundant, so the problem of grain and grass in a short period of time would not hinder his use of troops.
So, the two sides formed a confrontation on the front line of Li City.
This confrontation lasted for half a month in the blink of an eye.
In half a month, Yan Liang issued letters of challenge to Cao Cao several times, asking Cao Cao for a decisive battle.
Yan Liang is of course not afraid of a decisive battle. He has strong troops and horses, and his elite soldiers are no less powerful than Cao Cao. He also has powerful weapons such as repeating crossbows and crossbow chariots. A large-scale battle in the wilderness will naturally be beneficial to Yan Liang.
But Cao Cao did not dare to challenge.
Cao Cao's original intention of invading Nanyang was to reap the benefits, use his wisdom first, and obtain the greatest benefits with the least sacrifice.
If Qingjun fights Yan Liang, even if he wins, it will be a tragic victory in which he kills one thousand enemies and suffers eight hundred losses. For Cao Cao, who had finally recovered a few percent of his strength from the defeat of Guandu, this kind of victory He would not choose a "self-inflicted" decisive battle unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, what makes Cao Cao depressed is that at this time, he is unable to fight decisively, and even if he wants to use tactics, he cannot.
Because his army has been firmly stuck in Licheng by Yan Liang, he has lost the initiative to attack first and cannot use any means at all.
In desperation, Cao Cao could only choose to send light cavalry to harass Yan Liang's grain road.
However, Yan Liang did not deploy troops to strengthen the defense of the grain road. Instead, he used his own methods to control his own body, and also sent light cavalry to attack Cao Cao's grain road.
??Aren¡¯t you, Cao Cao, competing for grain and grass? Okay, you burn ten carts of grain for me, and I¡¯ll burn ten carts of grain for you, and we¡¯ll see who has the richest family.
At dusk, Yan Jun camped.
At night, in the big tent, Yan Liang warmed himself by the stove and sipped wine on the stove, feeling comfortable and relaxed.
The curtains were raised, and a cold winter wind entered the tent. Jia Xu, whose face was red with cold, entered the tent and quickly rubbed his hands together and went to the stove to warm himself.
"Come on, let's drink a cup of hot wine to warm yourself up." Yan Liang poured a cup for the poisonous man.
Jia Xu finished her glass of wine, the redness on her face gradually faded, and her body gradually warmed up.
"He, you are not under the quilt at this late hour, but you are braving the cold wind to see me. You must not be just asking for a drink." Yan Liang said with a smile.
Jia Xu took a few sips of the fine wine and said with a smile: "I haven't slept well these past few days. I finally thought of a way to retreat from the enemy, so of course I was in a hurry to ask for a drink."
Strategies to retreat from the enemy!
Hearing these four words, Yan Liang's spirit suddenly changed, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, Yan Liang didn't want to spend so much time with Cao Cao. Although he was in Licheng, his heart had already flown to Xudu.
If Cao Cao hadn't intervened, he might have been enjoying the happiness of an emperor in Xudu's magnificent palace.
At this time, Yuan Tan, taking advantage of the entanglement between himself and Cao Cao, had already sent a large army to Liyang to fight with his brother Yuan Shang. If Yuan Tan was relieved of his worries and could focus on Xudu, then he would be in trouble again. A fierce battle.
Now that Jia Xu claims to have a plan to defeat the enemy, how can Yan Liang not be excited?
"He, I know you have a lot of bad water in your stomach. If you have any clever ideas, tell me quickly."
When Jia Xu heard the word "bad water", a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
After coughing a few times, he said: "If we want to drive Cao Cao out of Nanyang, there are only two ways. One is to defeat him, and the other is to let him retreat voluntarily. The former seems to be difficult to do for a while, so why don't we Change your mind and consider the latter.¡±
"You mean, let Cao Cao take the initiative to retreat" Yan Liang had a vague guess, nodded slightly, and signaled Jia Xu to continue.
Jia Xu then continued: "The only way to make Cao Cao retreat voluntarily is to make him suffer losses in the rear and have to retreat. Xiliang Mahan was blocked by Xia Houyuan, so he obviously couldn't do it. As for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, although they bordered Cao Cao , but at the moment they are all busy with themselves and cannot threaten Cao Cao at all. Looking around, there is only one person left who can make Cao Cao afraid. "
Guan Siyuan, threatened Cao Cao
Yan Liang looked at Jia Xu's sly smile, his thoughts were rolling like lightning, and a name suddenly flashed in his mind."Zhang Lu! You mean, let Zhang Lu send troops to the pass to force Cao Cao to retreat!"
Yan Liang¡¯s thinking and reaction was very fast, and he immediately realized what Jia Xu meant with just a little reminder.
Jia Xu nodded and said with a smile: "My lord's thinking is really broad, yes, the person Xu is referring to is Zhang Lu."
Yan Liang¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement, and his spirit became more and more exciting.
Zhang Lu had hundreds of thousands of Han followers, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. If he took advantage of the empty state of the pass to send troops northward, it would indeed pose a great threat to the pass, and Cao Cao would have to withdraw his troops.
"My lord, please wait and be excited. Although Zhang Lu can threaten Cao Cao, he is also a thief who is sitting on the defensive. I haven't thought of how to persuade Zhang Lu to send troops."
Although Jia Xu was proud, a hint of worry flashed across his brows.
His worries are not unreasonable. Historically, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang were the same. They would fight back and forth in mountain dens like Shu. No matter it was dark outside, I would pretend not to see it anyway.
As a result, Zhang Lu, the ostrich, waited for Cao Cao, and Liu Zhang, the ostrich, waited for Liu Bei.
As Jia Xu said, on the surface, it seems that it is not an easy task to persuade Zhang Lu to send troops.
Yan Liang's thoughts were racing, but he immediately revealed a sneer: "I don't need to worry about you anymore. I have already thought of how to persuade Zhang Lu to send troops."
Jia Xu thought hard for a long time, but couldn't figure out how to persuade Zhang Lu to send troops. Yan Liang had a plan in the blink of an eye, and Jia Xu couldn't help but have a strange look on his face. - Didn't finish reading?
