Without capturing Fucheng, Kunyang, and Wuyang, and without forming a certain strategic depth, Cao Ren's troops would not dare to easily divert to attack Nanyang.
Otherwise, if there is an emergency in Jia County, wouldn't it mean that the retreat route would be cut off by the enemy?
Therefore, Cao Ren could only have a fierce fight with his opponent in Jia County.
But Zhang Liao did not stay here for a long time. The front line of Fucheng, Kunyang, and Wuyang was Cao Ren's mission, not his mission. His mission was to capture Yingyin and Yingyang, thereby threatening Zhao She's troops in Xuchang from the side and forcing them to
He withdrew from Xuchang.
As a result, the entire northern part of Yingchuan will fall into the hands of their Jin army, and the Central Plains defense line will be opened by them, creating a huge gap.
Of course, by that time, if Zhao She wants to be an iron-headed boy and refuses to retreat, that's okay. The worst thing is that Zhang Liao will cooperate with Li Xiang's army in front of him and fight against this old boy Zhao She.
Zhao She now has half of Yuzhou's troops gathered there. If Zhao She can kill Zhao She's troops in Xuchang, it will be a good thing for the Jin army.
Of course, Zhao She is also a famous general in the Central Plains. According to their estimation, if he is really threatened, once he is at a strategic disadvantage at that time, Zhao She will definitely choose to retreat.
This is a national war, not a fight between two forces. How can they be overwhelmed because of the gains and losses of one city and one land? Because the gains and losses of one city and one pool put the entire army in a disadvantageous strategic position.
He even risked losing the war and acted as an iron-headed boy there. If Zhao She was this kind of person, he would not be worthy of being called a famous general of the Central Plains!
As for Li Xiang, when he learned that this man had appeared here, he immediately sent Lu Su and Yan Keqiu to serve as Cao Ren's military counselor.
A very suitable candidate.
Furthermore, Yan Keqiu's old master was destroyed by the princes of the Central Plains. There is already a hatred for him, so he is not afraid that he will not try his best.
Yes, although there is a figure at the level of the Four Saints of Military Strategies here, Li Xiang still has no intention of changing generals before the battle. Changing generals before the battle is not something that can be done just by talking about it.
And at this time, changing generals before the battle, doesn't it show the distrust of Cao Ren? The distrust of the Cao family? To put it bluntly, Cao Ren only suffered a small defeat! In this kind of war, there is no need to create internal barriers.
To take a step back, even if the general is changed on the spot, who should be replaced? Is it possible that someone at the level of a governor should be replaced?
And if you don't choose someone at the level of the Grand Governor, what's the difference between others coming over and Cao Ren?
After all, Cao Ren's army consisted mostly of die-hard generals from the Cao family, and Cao Ren could work better with them.
And if they sent two peerless counselors, plus Su Zhe, who was already in Cao Ren's army, with these three people to assist Cao Ren, and with the advantage of their troops, as long as they fought steadily, even if the kidneys failed, could they still be defeated?
After Su Zhe came to the Jin army from Cao Cao's staff, he still performed well. This time, he also strongly suggested that Cao Ren invite Zhang Liao to cooperate with him in attacking Jicheng, realizing the linkage between the two armies, and then defeating the city in one fell swoop.
Yes, when he learned that this man appeared in his father's city, Li Xiang's requirement for Cao Ren was to remain undefeated. He would rather fight steadily and delay the opportunity than underestimate the enemy's chances of advancing. After all, in Tian Rang
In front of a person of Ping's level, the average person really can't grasp the balance between them, so they would simply beat him to death with a pole.
If you can't win quickly, then fight for national strength!
…………
"Tian Laoer, let me see how you can defend the banner of our army today with such a small father's city?" Cao Ren said proudly.
Behind him, a total of 40,000 troops formed a formation.
Today, his troops have been assembled. Unlike the previous time when he deceived the city, there were not many troops around him. Forty thousand against ten thousand, the advantage lies with him!
After all, although the opponent has the advantage of defending the city, the attached city has low walls and is not a big city.
Although Zhao Kuangyin has been attaching great importance to the construction of the Central Plains defense line in recent years, the problem is, how can he have money in the situation in the Central Plains in recent years?
Jia County was well repaired by Zhao Kuangyin, but the problem was that it was stolen by Cao Ren and Zhang Liao in the first wave.
Cao Ren attracts firepower from the front, while Zhang Liao leads the light cavalry from the side to kill Lao Liu. If this is not lost, there will be something wrong!
"Hahaha, then I have to thank General Zixiao for showing mercy and giving my father's city to me. I still remember that during the Central Plains War, General Cao kindly gave it to my lord Runan!!" The fields on the city
When Rang Ping heard this, she immediately laughed loudly and became very arrogant.
And what he said was specifically aimed at stabbing Cao Ren in the heart.
During the War in the Central Plains, Cao Cao's first real defeat was against him, who was known as the number one general of the Cao clan.
"Don't let the thieves act so arrogantly. Now my father's city doesn't have many troops. I want to take them as if they were in a bag!!" Cao Ren glared and immediately shouted loudly.
When Tian Ranping heard this, he laughed and said: "There is indeed a shortage of troops in my city, but I am afraid that General Zixiao will not dare to come and get it!!"
"Damn it, you have the guts to open the city gate. If I don't dare to enter the city and come to take the head of a bitch like you, I am the son of a bitch!" Cao Ren couldn't help but get angry when he heard this. He was furious and couldn't speak.
Block.
In fact, Tian Ranxing just hit the one thing that bothered Cao Ren the most, which made him lose his temper! Everyone has a weakness after all!
Cao Cao was the person Cao Ren respected the most. When Cao Shen and Cao GUI were not sent, the Cao family had three generals who relied on them to fight in all directions. But after those two were sent, there was only one Cao Ren left.
Cao Cao relied on him even more. Especially when those two sent it, the Xiahou brothers also sent it at the same time.
As for Cao Zhen, Cao Chun, and Cao Wenzhao, they all came to prominence later.
Cao Cao has always placed high hopes on Cao Ren, but as the first military general of the Cao family, he does not seem to be worthy of Cao Cao's high hopes. Especially the defeat of Runan in the Central Plains War has become a deep root for Cao Ren.
A thorn in his heart.
At this time, Yan Keqiu and Lu Su had not arrived yet, and there was only Su Zhe beside Cao Ren. But even Su Zhe, when he was hiding behind the military formation and saw this scene, had to
Admittedly, Tian Rangxing was very cunning. Not only did she accurately grasp Cao Ren's weakness, but she also hit him quite ruthlessly.
"Haha!! You said this!!" Tian Ruoju's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, as if he saw his prey falling into the trap he had laid, and his laughter was as proud as he could be.
Cao Ren's face changed when he heard Tian Rangju's incomparable laughter. Suddenly, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. As if to prove that he was right, he immediately shouted and said: "Stop bluffing here!! I'm not
I don’t believe it, how dare you!!!”
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound. Zhang Xiu's expression changed with shock, and the city gate actually opened.
I saw a weird smile on Tian Ruoju's face. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, you have to dig your own grave. I won't succumb to asking you to dig your own grave. I will send you to see your good brother Cao Mengde. Cao Zixiao, please! Otherwise,
You are a son of a bitch!!! By the way, if you are a son of a bitch, then Cao Mengde should be a son of a bitch too!"
