- Winter is gone, the weather is getting warmer, and it's time to put the strategy of destroying Cao into action.
In private, all the counselors have been secretly studying the plan to attack Cao Cao. Most of the smart minds in front of the palace already have ideas.
Yan Liang then asked them to express their opinions, while Yan Liang sat quietly and listened.
After some discussion, the counselors generally reached a consensus on the strategy to destroy Cao Cao.
Most of them believe that the Western Front should be the main battlefield in the battle to destroy Cao Cao, following the example of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty who defeated Guanzhong.
That is to say, they suggested that Yan Liang lead the main force out of the Qinling Mountains, capture Longyou first, cut off Yongliang Prefecture, and then divide an army to attack Liangzhou from the west. At the same time, he used the main force to cross Longshan to the east and take Chang'an directly.
The opinions of all the advisers are generally the same. Even Pang Tong generally holds the same opinion.
"It's so easy to send troops out of the Qinling Mountains, huh, do you think it's that easy?" Yan Liang sneered, seeming to disagree with the strategies of the counselors.
Because Yan Liang is a time traveler, he has "bloody" facts in his memory as a reference.
The roads in the Qinling Mountains are extremely difficult and dangerous. Just the problem of transporting food can make people vomit blood out of help.
In history, Zhuge Liang went out to Qishan six times without success. In addition to the weak national power of Shu, the difficulty of Qinling Mountains was probably the main reason.
And in history, except for Liu Bang's success in marching out of Qinling, no one has replicated the success.
Moreover, Liu Bang's success that time was also because Xiang Li had no foresight. He might not be in Guanzhong but in Pengcheng. Guanzhong's defense was weak, which gave Liu Bang an opportunity to take advantage of.
Now Guanzhong is the heart of Cao Cao. With Cao Cao's wisdom, how could he not fortify the Guanlong line tightly to prevent Yan Liang from playing Liu Bang's old tricks.
All kinds of things, in Yan Liang's opinion, if the main attack direction is on Longyou, failure will be inevitable.
"The Qinling Mountains are dangerous and it is difficult to transport grain. I don't think it is a wise choice to attack from there. I think we should take Luoyang first, and then attack Guanzhong from east to west."
Yan Liang was not secretive and spoke out his strategy happily.
There are many successful examples of his strategy in history that can be used for reference. For example, during the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan's army first defeated Luoyang and then captured Chang'an.
Although attacking Chang'an from Luoyang will encounter obstacles from Tongguan, at least there will be no problem in transporting grain and grass. This alone is more advantageous than sending troops from Hanzhong.
The thoughts of the counselors were suddenly taken from Hanzhong to Luoyang, thousands of miles away by Yan Liang. A picture of the front-line situation in Luoyang suddenly appeared in their minds.
Soon, someone expressed their opposition.
The reason for the opposition is also very simple. Luoyang is now occupied by Cao Cao. The Yellow River is to the north of Luoyang and Hongnong is to the west. They are all insurmountable barriers.
To the east of Luoyang, the Xingyang line is occupied by Liu Bei. If Yan Liang wants to attack Luoyang from the east, he must first cross the large no-man's land south of Chenliu. After capturing the Xingyang line, he can turn to the west to attack Luoyang.
Not to mention crossing the no-man's land, capturing Xingyang is a difficult problem. Even if it can be captured, the army's flank will be exposed to Liu Bei. This is a taboo for military strategists, so how can they ignore it.
This means that it is obviously not wise to attack Luoyang from the east.
In this case, the only option left is to attack Luoyang from the Luyang line in the south, enter Taigu Pass, and attack Luoyang.
Although this route is much flatter than the Qinling Mountains, Taigu Pass is one of the eight passes in Luoyang. Cao Cao only needs to station tens of thousands of elite troops in Guancheng and hold on without fighting. Even if Chu has a million troops, he will only be able to Can look at Guan Xing and sigh.
"When advancing from Hanzhong, although the terrain is dangerous, there are still several valley roads where surprise troops can be launched. If we attack Luoyang first, we will only have the only route to attack Taigu Pass. If Cao Cao only holds back Taigu Pass, our army will be at a loss. "
Even Pang Tong, facing the situation in Luoyang, seems to have no good solution.
At this time, Yan Liang had a sly smile on his face: "Who said that this is the only way to attack Luoyang?"
Pang Tong looked stunned and could not understand the meaning behind Yan Liang's words for a moment. The other advisers present also looked at a loss.
?? These resourceful people are a little confused. Apart from Taigu Pass, there is no second route to attack Luoyang.
Under the blank gaze, Yan Liang stood up, slowly walked down the high steps, and came to the huge map hanging on the side wall.
"Isn't this the second route?" Yan Liang raised his arm and drew on the map with his fingertips.
Zhongmou looked at his finger, confused for a moment, and suddenly his expressions were shocked, as if he had thought of something incredible.
They were shocked at first, but then the shock turned into surprise, and finally turned into an incomparable surprise.
Everyone felt a sense of excitement as if they were suddenly enlightened.
"The king's plan is really really" Pang Tong was so excited that he didn't know how to describe his exclamation.
However, under the surprised eyes of all the ministers, Yan Liang returned to the throne with his head held high and said, "Do you think this king's route of march is feasible?"
"It's feasible, it's feasible, of course it's feasible." Pang Tong did not hesitate, "My lord, this route of advance can not only attack Luoyang, but also kill Cao Cao by surprise. It is really wonderful."
Yan Liang smiled slightly, enjoying Pang Tong's exclamation calmly.
At this time, Jia Xu said: "Although the king's plan is strange, Liu Bei must consider it."
Yan Liang, of course, knew what Jia Xu meant, so he sneered and said, "Don't worry, Wen He. I have a plan to get rid of Liu Bei's entanglement. I'm still afraid that he won't come to harass and entangle him."
Seeing that Yan Liang was so confident, what could the counselors say? Everyone was infected by Yan Liang's confidence, and their confidence in destroying Cao became even more determined and unified.
The ministers have no objections, so why should Yan Liang worry?
He stood up in excitement, waved his hands and said loudly: "My dear friends, since you have no other objections, please quickly pass on my order to the army of Chu. The three armies of Chu will be mobilized as soon as possible. I will mobilize all the troops soon to wipe out the Cao thieves. "
In the main hall, the emotions of the ministers were agitated, and their blood was boiling like a raging fire.
With the order given, from west to east, all the soldiers and civilians of Da Chu mobilized for the war to destroy Cao Cao.
As for Yizhou, although Yan Liang did not plan to use it as the main direction of attack, it was still necessary to contain and confuse Cao Jun.
Therefore, Yan Liang issued a royal order and ordered Lu Xun, who was guarding Hanzhong, to lead Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other Shu generals to command 40,000 Shu soldiers to leave Qishan and pretend to attack Longyou.
On the Nanyang side, Yan Liang ordered Wen Pin to command 20,000 soldiers and horses, and sent the troops out of Wuguan, pretending to attack the key point.
Although these two groups of soldiers and horses were under the banner of attacking Cao Cao, Yan Liang built up momentum, claiming that he would march his army north to capture Qingzhou and cross the Yellow River north to wipe out Liu Bei. However, the attack on Cao Cao was only to contain him to prevent him from going. Aid Liu Bei.
As soon as the news came out, Liu Bei in Yecheng suddenly became nervous.
Although Liu Bei's previous policy of strengthening the walls and clearing out the wild made Liu Bei feel confident, the shadow of repeated defeats made Liu Bei wary of Yan Liang's Northern Expedition.
In order to cope with the Chu army's Northern Expedition, Liu Bei immediately mobilized troops and horses to gather in the places on the north bank of the Yellow River, ready to cross the river at any time to rescue the towns on the south bank.
At the same time, Liu Bei was afraid that L¨¹ Meng's army in Liaodong would seize the opportunity to attack Youzhou, so he sent Taishi Ci to the north and took up command in Youzhou to defend against the Chu army's westward crossing of the Liao River, threatening Youyan.
When Liu Bei mobilized his troops and prepared generals, Yan Liang had already led 80,000 Chinese troops and marched northward by water.
Taking advantage of the ice and snow melting and the water in various river systems rising, the 80,000-strong army sailed northward and reached the Xuzhou front line within a few days.
Yan Liang's army arrived at Xiapi and joined the Xuzhou Army under Gan Ning's command. The total number of soldiers reached 130,000.
According to Liu Bei¡¯s idea, since Yan Liang wants to march into Hebei, he will definitely choose to march from Pengcheng, pass through the large uninhabited areas of Yanzhou such as Peiguo and Shanyang, capture Puyang Ferry, and then march into Hebei.
Therefore, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, and personally stationed himself in Puyang, and gathered enough grain and grass for a year in the city to prepare for a long-term defense.
But to Liu Bei's surprise, Yan Liang's army did not attack Puyang according to the route he had speculated, but went north from Xiapi and headed straight for Qingzhou.
¡¡
Qingzhou, Donglai County, Weishan Port.
In the harbor, hundreds of warships are neatly arranged, and the endless sails are like rolling clouds.
Yan Liang sat on a red rabbit horse and led his army into the water village in a mighty manner.
Donglai County was originally a county abandoned by Liu Bei during his policy of clearing the country. The cities in the county had long been burned to the ground, and the ground for hundreds of miles was deserted.
Last year, Yan Liang ordered Jiang Qin and others to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to go north by sea and capture the coastal city of Weishan. After several months of operations, Weishan was built into a solid seaport fortress.
Several cavalry galloped over, and Jiang Qin, Zhu Huan and other navy generals came out to greet them.
"Are you ready for what I have told you?" Yan Liang asked when the monarch and his ministers met.
Jiang Qin cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, all warships are ready. Your Majesty can send troops at any time to attack Hebei by sea."
"Who said that this king is going to attack Hebei." Yan Liang smiled secretly, and walked in with his whip.
Jiang Qin and Zhu Huan looked at each other, with confusion in their eyes.
Previously, didn¡¯t their King of Chu declare that he would invade Hebei and destroy Liu Bei?
If they didn¡¯t land in Hebei by sea, why would there be more than 100,000 troops and nearly a thousand warships gathered here?
The generals followed Yan Liang into the camp with a confused heart.
Entering the tent, Yan Liang sat on the throne and said: "Now that the army is about to attack, I have nothing to hide. In fact, attacking Liu Bei is a cover. My real purpose is to capture Luoyang and wipe out Cao's thieves."
Capture Luoyang and wipe out the Cao thieves!
The generals were shocked, and their expressions became more and more confused.
Since we want to capture Luoyang, we should also advance from Xudu. Why did we lead an army of more than 100,000 to Weishan, which is thousands of miles away?
In a daze, Yan Liang's eyes suddenly focused, and he said sternly: "Pass this king's order, the fleet will set sail tomorrow, enter the Yellow River and go westward, directly to Luoyang!"
