Mi Han

Chapter 547

At the end of February in the fifth year of Han Zhangwu, just half a month after Liu Feng led his army to Jieting, Wei Zuo General Zhang He also led his army outside Jieting.

The speed of Wei Jun's arrival shocked Liu Feng.

Originally, Liu Feng expected that Wei Jun would send a large army to Jieting, and he would get March at the earliest.

This was not Liu Feng's random guess, but the unanimous conclusion of all the generals in the army before Liu Feng left Tianshui.

In the first month, Liu Bei had just led his army into Longyou, and it was only that month that the three counties of Tianshui surrendered without a fight.

And Luoyang is thousands of miles away from Longyou. Even if Cao Zhen rushed the news to Luoyang six hundred miles away, in the face of such a drastic change, Cao Wei normally would have to discuss it for a period of time just to discuss it.

This is a natural disadvantage of any huge central court under the separation of powers and checks and balances.

Especially the current puppet emperor of Cao Wei is still the Cao Pi who is obsessed with power.

And Cao Wei's mobilization of reinforcements from other places is another matter that takes a long time.

Due to the above factors, it is reasonable for the Han generals to speculate that the reinforcements from Cao Wei's side will arrive at Jieting in March at the earliest.

But what I didn't expect was that Wei Jun's arrival was faster than expected.

Thinking that the Wei army could march so quickly, apart from the fact that the general of the Wei army may be good at running raids, the Cao Wei court also maintained unimaginable efficiency in the face of this great change.

Liu Feng's guess was correct. No one in the past would have thought that Cao Rui, who was only twenty years old, could react decisively to the great changes in Longyou in one day.

After learning the news of the arrival of Wei Jun's army, Liu Feng climbed up the mountain again, thinking about checking Wei Jun's military situation with a high gaze.

From Liu Feng's line of sight, he saw the Wei army who had just arrived at the main road of Jieting, and he was not in a hurry to attack the Han army.

Wei Jun is building camps on the spot.

Liu Feng also saw that many Wei soldiers went to the surrounding dense forests to collect materials and began to build and assemble various siege equipment.

Perhaps due to the distance, Liu Feng couldn't see Wei Jun's other intelligence all at once.

But at least judging from the smoke and dust floating in the sky in the distance, the number of Wei Jun will definitely not be less than tens of thousands.

In addition to having a rough estimate of the number of the Wei army in his mind, Liu Feng also knew the identity of the general who came to aid the Wei army from the general flags hung high by the Wei army.

Zhang He!

After knowing that it was Zhang Yun who led the army to Jieting, Liu Feng's mood gradually became cautious.

Although Liu Feng had been in confinement for three years, as a deputy general, he knew a lot of information about the Wei army before he was in confinement.

For example, in the early years, Wei Junzhong had a reputation similar to "Five Sons of Good Generals".

Cao Wei has always valued clans over different surnames in military affairs. In the decades since Cao Cao's war, there are only a handful of examples of people with different surnames being able to independently control the military power of a place.

And these five good generals are all manifestations of this rare case.

It can make Cao Cao pay special attention to these five people. It is obvious that the talents of these five people are all the best in the world.

Although today, the so-called "five good generals" of Cao Wei, now only Zhang He is left, and the others either died or surrendered, and most of them were defeated generals of the Han army.

It was the old general Guan Yu, not Liu Feng, who could accomplish this great feat.

Moreover, Liu Feng also knew that the reason why those three good generals were defeated by Guan Yu was that, apart from Guan Yu's superb ability, another important reason was that all three of them were framed by the Cao clan.

For example, Yu Jin, who was flooded by the Seventh Army, actually didn't want to set up camp in low-lying areas after Yu Jin led his army outside Fancheng.

It was Cao Ren who forced Yu Jin to do this.

Without the help of Cao Ren and Cao Pi, Guan Yu might not have won those battles back then.

The more he knew, the more jealous Liu Feng felt.

Originally, with Liu Feng's personality, fear would not emerge in his heart before the battle, but who made Liu Bei so afraid of Zhang Ying?

Liu Bei's fear of Zhang Yun was vividly reflected as early as the Battle of Hanzhong.

"He knows the variables, is good at setting up camp, and knows the battle situation and terrain, and everything is worse than a plan." This was Liu Bei's evaluation of Zhang He back then.

Liu Feng has always regarded Liu Bei as a god. It is normal for Liu Bei's attitude to affect Liu Feng.

But Liu Feng didn't show the fear in his heart. He returned to the camp after roughly observing the situation of Wei Jun.

But what Liu Feng may not have expected was that when he was observing the situation of the Wei army on the high mountain, Zhang Yun was also on the other side of the mountain, observing the situation of the Han army.

About half a month, coupled with Ding Feng's day and night supervision, was enough for the Han army to establish a camp on the flat ground.

Perhaps some details of the fortress have not yet been perfected, but the general framework has been established.

Looking at the camp of the Han army that stretched for several miles and gathered defensive facilities, Zhang Xi couldn't help sighing.

Five good generals, each with his own strengths.

One of Zhang He's strengths is that he is good at setting up camps according to the terrain.

As an expert in the inner circle who set up camp, Zhang He saw the strength of the Han army's camp at a glance.

The camp of the Han army was directly stuck at the throat of the main road of Jieting.

When Zhang He and Cao Rui faced each other in Luoyang, Zhang He had predicted to Cao Rui three countermeasures for the Han army to arrive at Jieting.

Among the three countermeasures, what Zhang Yun is most unwilling to do is for the Han army to take the lead and go down to the stronghold.

This method is the most beneficial to the Han army, and the most unfavorable to him.

But the matter has come to this point, Zhang Yun did not lament too much.

After all, there are so many talents in the world, what he can think of, cannot be expected from the Han army.

After observing the situation of the Han army camp, Zhang Yun glanced at the general flag hanging high in the Han army camp, and then his eyes showed joy.

The Han army can fly any general flag, as long as it does not fly the military flag with the word "mi".

As long as it wasn't for Mi Yang's personal visit, there would still be a battle to be fought.

Although according to the mainstream view of the world, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao were defeated at the hands of Guan Yu, Mi Yang made indelible contributions in those two battles.

"Reflecting the letter that connected with Jiangdong into Fancheng", "presenting Cao Pi in women's clothing", without these two magical touches, how could Xu Huang and Zhang Liao be so easily defeated by Guan Yu?

As one of the five good generals, how could Zhang Yun not feel sad when the rabbit died and the fox faced Mi Yang after Guan Yu died?

Zhang He soon returned to the army.When he returned to the army, Man Chong greeted him immediately.

Before Man Chong was sent by Cao Xiu to lead troops to Luoyang, but after leading the army to Luoyang, Cao Rui kept Man Chong.

Guanzhong is in danger, and it is time to employ people.

On the other hand, although Jiangdong sent troops to the Northern Expedition, according to Cao Xiu, it was nothing to worry about. Under such circumstances, Cao Rui naturally wanted to use a great talent like Man Chong on the Guanzhong battlefield.

When Zhang He led his army to Longyou, Man Chong was appointed as a general participating and became Zhang He's deputy general.

After Man Chong came up to meet him, he asked Zhang He, "Can General Zuo think of a way to defeat the enemy?"

Anxiety could not be concealed in Man Chong's tone.

Longyou was divided into two by the Han army and was in danger.

Facing such a precarious situation, it is hard for Man Chong not to be anxious.

The reason why Zhang He went up the mountain to observe the enemy's situation in person was to think of ways to defeat the enemy.

Under Man Chong's eager gaze, a smile appeared on Zhang Yun's face, he nodded slowly and said:

"He now has a strategy in mind."

Hearing what Zhang He said, Man Chong couldn't help being overjoyed.

He hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the general's strategy?"

Seeing that Man Chong was so eager, Zhang Yun did not delay. He dragged him to a case and sat down. Then he took a blank paper and roughly drew the layout of the Han army's camp on the white paper.

After completing this move, Zhang He pointed to the Han army camp on the paper and said:

"The enemy general chose to camp on the main road that is several miles wide, so we can only choose to attack by force, which is enough to show that the enemy general is a good general.

But the situation is unpredictable, and the terrain of the street pavilion gave our army the possibility to defeat the enemy. "

Looking at the Han army camp on the paper, Man Chong's face showed a pensive look.

He was also good at military strategy, and the layout of the Han army's camp made some ideas emerge in his mind.

While Man Chong was contemplating, Zhang Yun continued: "According to the military information received before, there are at most [-] infantry troops under Liu Bei's account.

However, Longxi and Guangwei counties have not yet rebelled. If Liu Bei wants to seize the entire Longyou land, he will definitely divide his troops to attack Longxi and Guangwei counties.

Longxi County is located in the northwest, the road is far away, and the local people are dangerous. If Liu Bei wants to quickly attack Longxi County, at least [-] soldiers cannot do it.

Guangwei County is located in the east of Longshan Mountain, and Shangyu in the county has always been the main road for our army to enter Longyou, and it is also the back and back of the bandit army's food road.

Even if Liu Bei doesn't immediately lead his army to attack Shangyu, he will definitely leave behind heavy troops to guard his rear.

With the two forces divided, how many soldiers could Liu Bei send to the street pavilion?

I think it's no more than ten thousand at most. "

Zhang He expressed his judgment little by little.

Zhang Yun's judgment made Man Chong nod again and again.

Although no specific military information had been reported at the moment, Zhang He, a famous general, still relied on his keen judgment to draw an inference that was close to the facts.

After Zhang He finished his deduction, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked Man Chong:

"Several miles of battalions, tens of thousands of troops can't keep it airtight, let alone more than ten thousand enemy troops?"

This is the opportunity for victory that Zhang Yun discovered after observing the Han army camp just now.

Of course, in order to turn the chance of winning into the final victory, there must be corresponding tactics.

"Our army is several times larger than the enemy's, and we have tens of thousands of cavalry.

After our army has built the siege equipment, we can storm the camp of the bandit army first.

Under the fierce offensive, the enemy general will definitely dispatch sergeants from other places to rescue.

At that time, our army can separate a cavalry army to cooperate with the infantry army, and look for opportunities to storm another part of the enemy's camp.

If the enemy is rescued in the east, our army will attack in the west. If the enemy is defending everywhere, our army will attack the enemy in a weak place.

For a long time, the enemy army must have been exhausted and embarrassed.

When the morale of the enemy army is depressed, why can't the enemy camp be broken! "

When Zhang Yun finished talking about the strategy in his heart, Man Chong couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing.

"When Emperor Wu was there, he once praised the general's machine as unparalleled, and I will see you today."

In Man Chong's view, Zhang He's strategy is excellent.

It's just that after laughing, Man Chong still has a question in his heart.

"Our army breaks through the front, even if we can break through one part of the enemy's camp, if we don't wipe out all the enemy troops, our army's rear may be in danger."

What Zhang He just said was the strategy of breaking the Han army's camp. Just because the Han army's camp was breached, it doesn't mean that the entire Han army will be wiped out.

The big deal is that the Han army can concentrate the remaining forces in one place and guard a big camp.

In this case, Wei Jun still cannot pass through the street pavilion safely.

Regarding Man Chong's doubts, Zhang Yun had already planned in his mind.

Zhang He said confidently: "As long as our army can tear open a hole in the enemy's camp, the enemy's entire army will be wiped out, and it will be a foregone conclusion!"

Facing Zhang Yun's determination, he was full of surprise.

Facing Man Chong's surprised gaze, Zhang He's eyes showed a fierce look.

"Because at that time I will send troops to circle behind the enemy's camp, cut off their food routes, destroy their water sources, and lose all their water and food. Even if Mi Yang comes personally, what should the enemy be afraid of?"

After listening to Zhang He's next plan, Man Chong was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed again.

If so, it would be great.
