Chapter 794
As the day of going to war approached, the public opinion that was originally suppressed began to spread frantically towards the court. He hesitated about Liu Xie's disappearance for five years, but Zhang Yang was not named the prefect of Hanoi by Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Shao reported him as the prefect.
Simply put, no matter whether the court agrees or not, he will be in the separatist place. For the current court, his identity as the prefect of Hanoi is naturally incorrect and unsatisfactory.
"I just didn't expect that because the imperial court attacked Xuzhou too quickly, Zhang Yang was unable to send Yang Chou to support him, so he was naturally not killed by Yang Chou, who had heavy troops. Now he can still firmly sit in the position of the prefect of Hanoi and control the military and political power of Hanoi County. Zhang Yang in this world is very lucky." Wang Yong finished reading the report directly, and he had to ask Dian Jie for some information about Zhang Yang in history, and then sighed.
"Yang Chou's heart was to the court, so he could have used it, so why didn't he tell Cao Cao?" Dian Jie asked.
"I have decided not to meddle in other people's business, so it is natural that I can't continue to intervene. Especially Zhang Yang's life trajectory has changed. He was not captured by the Huns, nor was he rescued by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao claimed that he was the prefect of Hanoi, but Zhang Yang was not Yuan Shao's subordinate. In other words, the history I know may not be applicable." Wang Yong replied.
"For us, the main things worth paying attention to are the three forces of Cao Wei, Shu Han and Sun Wu, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and Ma Teng, who also made arrangements to pay attention. Relatively speaking, small people like Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang really didn't care much. We don't care too much whether they follow history or not. As long as the main line follows the trajectory, it's fine." Dian Jie replied.
In other words, whether Yang Chou will rebel at the critical moment, even they will not guarantee that he will be able to do so. In contrast, he has put in some effort on Hao Meng, Song Xian, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng's side.
"So, it's better not to meddle in other people's business at this time." Wang Yong smiled.
Speaking of which, under a large amount of public opinion, the large army began to cross the Yellow River and enter Hanoi County. Huai County, the capital of Hanoi County, is just north of the Yellow River. According to the distance of this world, it is about 60 miles.
"It is unlikely that today will pass, but if tomorrow comes, Zhang Yang will probably be prepared." Gan Ning, who escorted Cao Ang's troops into Hanoi County, reminded.
"The official news started three days ago. Even if it reached Zhang Yang's side, it would not be so fast. These two days should be safe. Now there are three hours left before You hour, so you can marching for forty miles first." Cao Ang obviously had already made up his mind.
If the army approaches within twenty miles, then Zhang Yang has no choice but to set up a formation outside the city, so he can only block the city and defend it. At that time, whether it is to attack the city directly or to surround the city and attack support.
"Speaking of this, where is Zhang Yang's main force in Hanoi stationed?" Cao Ang looked at Cao Pi.
"In the northwest of the dog, this part of the army is probably already receiving the news to come to Huai County to meet." Cao Pi has obviously done his homework.
Just like the central army of the imperial court, it was also stationed in the garrison outside Xudu. Zhang Yang's large army could not be stationed in the city, with thousands of people gathering together. No matter how big Huai County is, it is impossible to carry out, let alone daily practice and other things are not convenient.
The key is that when the enemy attacks, especially the cavalry troops, it is a problem to leave the city and cannot form combat power at all.
"Is there any cavalry?" Cao Ang asked, and many of the data were reported to him by special intelligence personnel. As the head coach, he did not dare to neglect the information. He also understood the information. Now he asked, more about how his sister was doing.
After all, if you really want to count, Cao Pi did not have the experience of going out with the army, so it would be good to have more experience. If she is really not suitable for marching and fighting, then she would have to write to her mother to work hard on civilian work. Anyway, the old Cao family is now a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, so there is no need for all the members to join the army, as if she would not give others the opportunity to take office and control the military power at the same time.
"In the past, He Jin ordered Zhang Yang to go to Bingzhou to recruit soldiers. Zhang Yang recruited 3,000 light cavalry. The court did not provide any supply in the subsequent court. He almost consumed all the military expenditures in the county. In terms of infantry, there were only about 2,000 combat soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was probably not much better." Cao Pi replied.
"General Cao, three thousand light cavalry, are you sure to defeat him?" Cao Ang nodded and then looked at Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu had two thousand heavy cavalry under his command, which could not reach the level of a tiger and leopard cavalry, but he was also considered elite.
Cao Xiu is a man who returns to ancient genus and one of the more promising men in the Cao clan. Since Cao Chun is a woman who returns to ancient genus, Cao Cao is also worried about when she will collapse, so he has been cultivating Cao Xiu as Cao Chun's successor.
"A group of mobs is not worth worrying!" Cao Xiu also had his pride. He really looked down on Zhang Yang's three thousand cavalrymen.
"Then be prepared. If you encounter this cavalry during the march, defeat it!" Cao Ang ordered.
"Get orders!" Cao Xiu responded immediately.
"It's almost time." Cao Ang looked at the rear. The large army had all been disembarked and assembled. So he pulled out his sword from his waist, pointed the sword forward, shouting, "Follow me to go to war!"
"Go to the expedition!" As other generals responded, the large army set out and marched towards Huai County.
After halfway through You, that is, around six o'clock in the evening, the large army had indeed walked forty miles. After forcing the force, the soldiers were somewhat tired except for the cavalry.
Cao Xiu's cavalry was one man and two horses, one was used for transportation, and the other was a war horse in armor. Although he walked for forty miles, he was only slow and had sufficient physical strength, so he could fully support one or two charges.
"Is there any enemy's trace?" Cao Ang shouted. The scout had been sent and the troops were cruising around here in one step. The movements of ten miles of wind and wind could be reported immediately.
"I haven't seen the enemy yet!" The scout reported that from north of the Yellow River to Huai County, it was almost flat, and it was not that easy to ambush.
"It seems that Zhang Yang has not been able to transfer troops from the shooting dog yet. There are two thousand defenders in Huai County. I see how he defends!" Cao Ang immediately clenched his fists, "Station is on the spot and rest, so that the craftsmen can start assembling engineering equipment."
This time I went north and prepared more than 50 long ladders, five ladder cars, two rushers, five well rail cars, and more than ten stone throwers. It can be said to be luxurious. Unfortunately, the Pili van improved by the stone thrower has not been developed yet. This heavy stone thrower can basically be moved and can only be assembled as a fixed turret.
"Be careful that Yuan Shao's reinforcements are almost impossible to appear." Cao Ang ordered that you should not be careless on the eve of the battle.
As for other counties in Hanoi, although they are nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yang, he actually has no way to truly control them. It is almost impossible to rely on these counties to send troops to rescue them. Cao Ang is still very confident in defeating Zhang Yang!
