"Where is General Gao?" Cao Zhang was here as a reinforcement, so he naturally wanted to visit Gao Shun, who was the chief general. However, when he entered the camp and took a look, he could not find Gao Shun anywhere.
Cao Zhang, who was full of doubts, could only ask Sima Yi about the whereabouts of Gao Shun. After all, as the commander-in-chief of an army, he could not be found in the camp. This was too strange.
Sima Yi did not hide it from Cao Zhang, so he secretly sent Gao Shun to Yinping, but he has not told Cao Zhang about it for a long time.
After Cao Zhang heard this, a very anxious expression appeared on his face.
Gao Shun was Cao Zhang's uncle, and he had more or less friendships with several of Cao Cao's sons. For Cao Zhang, who loved fighting, Gao Shun, who was the number one general in Cao's camp, was the one he admired and learned from.
Now Gao Shun is in danger. Although Sima Yi and others assert that Gao Shun is fashionable and safe, how can Cao Zhang rest assured?
"In that case, I will take my two thousand and five hundred men to go through the Yinping period to support my uncle!" From Chang'an to outside Jiange Pass, Cao Zhang had an unobstructed journey, and he had no idea about the difficulties of the Shu Road.
A profound understanding. In his opinion, since Gao Shun could lead his soldiers through the dangerous roads of Yinping, he could probably do the same. After Gao Shun passed through Yinping, he fell into trouble, so Cao Zhang decided to secretly cross Yinping himself.
Rush to the rescue of Gao Shun and rescue him from danger.
How could Sima Yi and the others agree to Cao Zhang's request? It's incredible that Cao Zhang appeared here out of nowhere. Neither Sima Yi nor Lu Xun could figure out why there were only such a small number of reinforcements. If Cao Cao really wanted to send reinforcements, it would be impossible no matter what.
Only 2,500 troops were sent, and Cao Zhang, who was only seventeen years old, would not be sent as the commander of the reinforcements.
The Liangzhou Incident happened after Gao Shun led his army to the expedition. Although Sima Yi and others had heard about it, they did not know much about the specific situation, let alone Cao Zhang's participation in that war as a deputy general. Even with the wisdom of Sima Yi and Lu Xun,
I would never have thought that Cao Zhang came here secretly.
But no matter what, if Cao Zhang is unfortunately killed during the battle, how will Sima Yi and others bear Cao Cao's wrath? Neither Sima Yi nor Lu Xun can bear this responsibility, so naturally they cannot agree to Cao Zhang's request.
When Gao Shun wanted to implement the plan to steal Yinping, everyone was opposed to it. However, Gao Shun was the leader of an army. He could suppress the objections of others and go his own way. However, Cao Zhang today is just a
The commander of the reinforcements, all the generals present, including Cao Zhen and Xia Houshang, were higher than Cao Zhang in terms of general rank. Although Cao Zhang was Cao Cao's biological son, he could never act arbitrarily in front of so many generals who had higher levels than him.
In this case, if Sima Yi and others insisted on rejecting Cao Zhang's request, Cao Zhang had no other choice. He could sneak from Chang'an to outside Jiange Pass, but there was no way to sneak from outside Jiange Pass to Yinping. You must know that he had no
On the topographic map of Western Shu, he didn't know where to go to Yinping.
But Cao Zhang's request gave Lu Xun an idea.
The original objection to Gao Shun's secret trip to Yinping was mainly because the Yinping trail was difficult and dangerous, and everyone believed that the trip would be futile and would only cost the lives of soldiers.
However, judging from the current situation, it is not that Gao Shun failed to successfully cross the Yinping, but that after passing through the Yinping, he was unable to stand up to the enemy and fell into a quagmire.
This at least illustrates two points. First, although the Yinping Road is dangerous, it is not unsurmountable. Second, after Jiange Pass, there should be very few troops left in Shu. You must know that Gao Shun only brought 3,000 people. If the troops in Shu are
There is enough, even if he is trapped in the camp, no matter how good he is in fighting, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out by now, and Zhang Ren will probably take Gao Shun's head to show off his power.
Since Gao Shun is not in danger of his life so far, it means that after Gao Shun survives Yinping, his military strength may be slightly less than that of Shuzhong, but the difference cannot be too much.
If another force is sent to Yinping to support Gao Shun at this time, Chengdu may be successfully captured.
The army can sneak through Yinping once, can't it happen a second time?
As for Zhang Ren, he may not necessarily want Cao Jun to send troops to cross Yinping twice. In this way, his side is likely to gain the upper hand after sneaking through Yinping for the second time.
If Cao Zhang had not appeared, even if Lu Xun thought of this strategy, he might not be able to implement it. After all, there are only more than 10,000 people on his side now. To save Yinping, at least 3,000 more people must be mobilized. In this way, the remaining
The number of soldiers is somewhat sparse.
The number of soldiers has dropped sharply, and Zhang Ren will definitely notice that something is wrong. Even if he uses methods such as increasing stoves to cover up, the clues will be seen sooner or later as time goes by. If Zhang Ren sees that the number of troops has decreased, he will definitely predict that his own side will
Repeat the same trick and sneak through Yinping again. When the time comes, whether he sends troops to reinforce Chengdu, or whether he attacks and annihilates his remaining few troops, he will be sure of victory. However, Cao's army is in a precarious situation, and if he is not careful, he will be defeated.
It will face catastrophe.
Now that Cao Zhang has arrived, this problem can be solved very well. When Cao Zhang first arrived, as long as he kept the news secret, Zhang Ren in the city might not notice the arrival of reinforcements. And Cao Zhang brought 2,500 troops, which was almost enough to
The vacancies left after the troop deployment were filled.
