The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 158 Cao Zhen's Plan ([-])

Cao Zhen's plan ([-])

Jietingzhai; in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Yi and other generals in Jietingzhai gathered here to discuss the direction of the next battle, but they all kept calm at this time, and no one stood up to break the battle. The stalemate seems to be waiting for someone,,,

"Report" the small school ran in. "In this battle, our army has [-] soldiers left, of which [-] are wounded." Said quickly

"General, the last general thinks that with the strength of our army in Jieting, we can no longer hold on this time. Only by asking for help from His Majesty's army can we continue to hold on. Jieting will definitely fall." The person couldn't help but stood up and said.

"General, the last general thinks that this is the only feasible strategy for our army," another general stood up and said.

Zhang Yi sat in the main seat, looking at the generals under the tent, his brows were frowned, revealing a little bit of irritability.It never occurred to me that Jieting Village would lose its first building in Wei Jun's first surprise attack, almost bringing down the entire camp.

"Just do as you say!" Zhang Yi said in a deep voice, with waves in his eyes.

In the big camp of the Wei army; in the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Zhen, Zhang Jai, Xu Huang, Zhu Ling and other generals are discussing affairs.

"General, if you give me another [-] elite soldiers today, I will definitely be able to take down the Han army's Jietingzhai; the Han army is exhausted now, so this opportunity must not be missed," Zhang Jai stood up and begged for his life.

"General Zhang, don't worry, I have a plan to take down Jietingzhai in one fell swoop," Cao Zhen said slowly, and the gentle smile in Mo Che's eyes grew stronger.

"What's the plan?" Zhang Jaw stared at Cao Zhen sharply and asked.The rest of the generals also turned their eyes and stayed on Cao Zhen.

"I have ordered people to prepare kerosene. When the weather clears, the street pavilion will belong to our army." Cao Zhen said slowly with a smile on his lips.

The rest of the generals also began to think about the feasibility of this plan. Just when everyone started to plan, a soldier who looked like a scout suddenly broke into the big tent, his eyes were fixed on Cao Zhen, and the bloodshot eyes undoubtedly told everyone that he was I haven't closed my eyes for several days.

"General, Chang'an is lost!" The soldier knelt on the ground as soon as he entered, and at the same time took out the token given by Peng Wen from his waist.

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the eyeballs of the full account of the generals almost fell out, the corners of their mouths twitched, and there was a bang in their brains, and they felt the subtext of the words, and there was a cold war unconsciously, and chicken skins appeared all over their bodies pimple.

"What?" Cao Zhen jumped up and shouted loudly.

"Three nights ago, the Han army suddenly approached the city, and more than a thousand Han troops suddenly appeared in the city. General Anxi abandoned the city and fled. After the battle of Peng Simili, he chose to withdraw from Chang'an temporarily, and led his troops to Jingzhao for strict defense, waiting for the general's order." said the scout.

"What, Xia Houmao, Peng Wen abandoned the city and fled;" Zhang Jaw grabbed the scout's collar and shouted.

"General Anxi abandoned the city and fled before the city was destroyed, but Peng Sima led his troops to leave Chang'an City after the city was destroyed;" the scout said.

"Xiahoumao,,," Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and read.

"Do you know how many Han troops there are?" Xu Huang also stood up at this time.

"It's too dark to see the lineup of the Han army clearly; but there must be at least [-]," the scout responded hastily.

"Twenty thousand Han troops, 2 people, they won't be able to fly over with their wings," Zhang Jai retorted.

The faces of the rest of the people suddenly pulled down, and they were tense like a layer of paste. The [-] Han troops stationed in Chang'an is not a small number. What is even more frightening is how they suddenly sent into Chang'an City without knowing all the defense lines. ...

"From Longyou to Guanzhong, there are only two roads in ancient times. One road is Jieting, and the other is Weihe River; if they leave the army from Jieting, our army sentry cavalry will definitely find their traces; if they cross the Weihe River, then we They will definitely receive help from Fufeng County first; unless they send troops from Hanzhong, but there is no news from Chen Cang, and the city of Mei is still in our hands..." Xu Huang paused here, as if thinking of what.

"General Xu, did we think of a place?" Cao Zhen stared at Xu Huang who stopped suddenly.

"Ziwu Valley!" Xu Huang whispered.

Immediately, it was like a pot exploded in the camp, and the generals and officers began to discuss the news of Meridian Valley.

"Perhaps you don't know. After the Battle of Hanzhong, in order to prevent the Shu Han from taking advantage of the dangerous road of Meridian Valley to attack Chang'an by surprise, the first emperor once stationed a battalion in the valley, but it turned into nothing in the end; but the Han army Since we walked through the Ziwu Valley, I dare to say that the number of soldiers and horses of the Han army will not exceed [-]. The road in the Ziwu Valley is dangerous and difficult to navigate. The logistics and luggage cannot be transported at all, and can only be carried by manpower." Cao Zhen said slowly.

"In this case, let's go back to the army! Our army's logistics, food, and military equipment are all in Chang'an City. If there is no food supply, the sergeants will mutiny; what's more, we have no way to go back and hand in this errand if we lose Chang'an City;" Zhu Lingwei slightly Ning Mei said.

"General, let's withdraw! We can't afford to lose Chang'an City." Zhang Jai echoed.

The rest of the generals began to speak to Cao Zhen and withdraw their troops!
Only Xu Huang was still standing there without moving. His dark green eyes flashed from time to time and looked a little strange, as if he was thinking about something.

"What does General Xu think?" Cao Zhen asked seeing that Xu Huang hadn't moved.For one of the only five good generals left in the court, Cao Zhen can undoubtedly gain the greatest trust.

"The last general just thought of someone'" Xu Huang said slowly.

"Who?" Cao Zhen asked.

"Our army's number one opponent, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei has made him feel like a fish in water; presumably the strategy of surprise attack on Chang'an was written by him. Now that Chang'an City has been captured, there must be troops who can rush to help Chang'an and arrive as scheduled; In the current situation, if Chang'an is lost, our army is equivalent to cutting off the food supply road. What's more, Chang'an is an important city in Guanzhong. Winning Chang'an is like winning half of Guanzhong; Going the other way, donate the city of Chang'an to the Han army. Our army recovers Longyou at Chujieting, raises food and grass in Longyou, and then sends troops to attack Qishan. If Qishan falls, Hanzhong will be exposed to our army's iron cavalry. ,” Xu Huang said slowly.
