Chapter 0594 fog of war(2/2)
If you lose the opportunity because of hesitation, you don't know when you will have such an opportunity in the future.
Wei Zhen thought of this and leaned forward to persuade him softly, "General, this is a rare opportunity! If you don't divide your troops and let me lead ten thousand people to the east and join forces with the Di king from the north and south to attack, the five thousand Shu captives will not be able to defend for three days.
"
"Not only will Longyou be saved by then, but the Shu army in Longyou will also be destroyed soon."
Cao Zhen raised his head and glanced at Wei Zhen, then ordered, "Come, please send King Yang down to rest first."
After Yang Pu left, he said with some embarrassment, "I don't know how rare the opportunity is. It's just that although Yang Pu is an old man, you can't trust his words alone. You have to be careful.
"
"General, Zhuge Liang personally leads the army in Longyou. Even if we count from the day we arrived in Gudao County, if someone sends him a message, it will take at least half a month for him to lead the army to come over."
"Unless Zhuge Liang had predicted in advance that we would enter Wudu via Chencang Road, and immediately lead his army back after defeating Ji County, otherwise he would definitely not be able to come here in time. The remaining Shu captives are not enough in number, so what should we fear?
?”
"It's been eight days now, and we still have seven days. The terrain at Hechi Pass is dangerous, and the guard opposite is Zhao Yun. We may not be able to get there in seven days."
"How about we divide our troops into two groups, stay here to watch Zhao Yun, then go all the way to the southwest, and attack Xia Bian with the strong enemy. There are two places in Xia Bian, Hechi, Xia Bian. As long as one of them is broken, then the big thing will be done!"
Cao Zhen was already a little moved, but now after hearing Wei Zhen's words again, he thought to himself, this does have some truth to it. As long as the army of Shu captives in Longyou does not come back in time, there will be thousands of Shu captives, and the army will have more troops.
Why fear an ambush?
Even if we can't attack Xiabian this time, we can still force Shu's Longyou army to turn back.
More importantly, he participated in the battle of Xiabian back then, and he knew that the terrain of Xiabian was far less dangerous than Hechi, otherwise Zhang Fei would not have dared to threaten to station troops to solidify the mountain and cut off Xiabian's retreat.
Think about Zhuge Liang, who is just a villager. I once defeated people like Ma Chao and Zhang Fei in the debate, how can I still be afraid of a mere villager? Let's see how I can defeat this army of Shu captives again!
After thinking about this, he finally nodded, "That's fine. I'll give you 20,000 people. You must be careful along the way."
"The Hu people are mostly a mob. If it is beneficial, they will swarm up. If it is not beneficial, they will disperse. To defeat the enemy, you can only trust yourself and cannot be entrusted to the Hu people. Also, there are many dangerous roads in Wudu. The army is moving forward. Remember a lot.
Send out sentries."
Cao Zhen warned again carefully.
"You will finally understand!"
Wei Zhen said with great joy.
Feng Yong, who was far away in Guan Mountain, naturally didn't know everything that happened in Wudu.
Now he is like a deaf and blind man.
After losing nearly ten Dark Night Hunters, the exact number of Cao's troops in Qian County was still not confirmed, which made Feng Yong worried. In the end, he had no choice but to order the Dark Night Battalion to closely monitor every move of Cao's troops in Qian County.
It's just that the person sent to deliver the message to Zhuge Liang never came back, which made Feng Yong a little suspicious. This shouldn't be the case. Even if he couldn't find where the old demon Zhuge Liang was, the messenger should at least come back with a message!
Could it be that something happened to Longyou?
This shouldn't be the case. If something unexpected happened in Longyou, Jufu, who led 3,000 men to garrison in Jicheng, would definitely send the news according to the pre-agreed method.
"General, early this morning, another group of Cao's troops entered the city in Qian County."
Wang Han had a very hard time these days. He was running up and down mountains and hills, and sometimes he had to go back and forth every day.
"how many people?"
Feng Yong handed over a bowl of water and asked.
"Three thousand or so, I will count them myself."
Wang Han panted and finished speaking, then drank it gurglingly.
"If there were 30,000 Cao thieves in the city originally, and adding those who have entered the city these days, there should be almost 50,000, right?" Feng Yong was a little confused, "Am I really wrong about this?"
In the Battle of Jieting in history, everyone was praising Zhang He's lightning speed. Could it be that he was blown away?
"These days, the general has renovated the city. Even if there are really 50,000 people, they can't easily capture Longguan. Why should the general worry?"
Zhang Yi said from the side.
The pass is not flat. If hundreds of people can come up to attack the city at a time, it is already crowded. If 50,000 people attack the city, even if Zhang He divides the people into a hundred teams and takes turns to attack, there is no need to worry if he wants to overwhelm himself.
Now there are three thousand people in Guancheng, Wang Ping's three thousand people on the top of Guan Mountain, and four thousand people in the valley behind Guancheng, ready to respond. Who knows who will fall first?
Feng Yong felt a little relieved when he learned that Qian County now had nearly 50,000 people in the city.
As long as Zhang He doesn't send anyone to Chencang, Cao Zhen's men plus the troops brought by Cao Rui, at most 30,000 people can enter Wudu. Mr. Zhao leads 20,000 people to defend Hanzhong, what are he afraid of?
It's not certain who will cut off who's escape then.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong became suspicious again. Could it be that Cao Wei was waiting for the troops from Guandong to arrive and was preparing to fight a war of attrition?
If this is really the case, I wonder what Cao Rui's face will be when he knows that Guanzhong's food supply has been emptied by wool in recent years?
