Just when Cao Bin decided to adopt Xu You's strategy and sneak attack the granary of the Han army in Panguling, a messenger from Le Yi hurried to report the news.
"General Cao, General Leyi and Fan Li were ordered by General Xiahou to successfully ambush Wei Yan in the Yin Valley in Wei County the night before, annihilating all 40,000 horses and horses in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and capturing Wei Yan, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
"Ahh Cao Bin was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and he couldn't close his mouth in surprise, "The total annihilation of 40,000 Han troops and the capture of Zhendong General Wei Yan This is a great victory since the Han and Wei wars."
As Cao Bin said, since the start of the Han and Wei wars, the Wei army has been at a disadvantage, although some areas can win small victories, but the total annihilation of 40,000 people at one time, and the capture of Wei Yan, whose status is comparable to Xue Rengui, is indeed an exciting victory.
As soon as Cao Bin's words fell, there was an uproar in the hall, and all the generals were envious, jealous and hateful: "Who have never heard of this Le Yi and Fan Li before, and they can make such a great achievement."
"I heard that Leyi is Lejin's cousin, and Fan Li is Fan Zeng's brother, and they all rely on relationships to get to the top, but I didn't expect that my luck was so good, and I just made such a miraculous feat."
Although Cao Bin also had some envy in his heart, he actually had a competitive relationship with Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, the three corps commanders, but on the surface, it couldn't be too obvious, and he coughed and said: "Being virtuous does not avoid relatives, as long as I have the ability, my Dawei is naturally meritocracy."
This great achievement by Le Yi and Fan Li is enough to boost the morale of the Great Wei army in the quagmire, which is really a great achievement."
Jia Xu stood beside him and muttered to himself: "Wei Yan only has forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is impossible for him to sneak out of the nest to attack Yecheng, I am afraid that the exploits of these 40,000 people will be false, but I am afraid that the capture of Wei Yan is true." ” Jia Xu has a cautious personality and never conflicts with others, so he naturally does not stand up to expose his shortcomings, and stands silently by the side to listen at the moment.
The envoy's words had not yet spoken, and he didn't know what this Le Yi and Fan Li would do next Yingbu sighed with emotion: "Alas, we have resisted Li Jing's army for several years, and we did not let the strongest elite division of the Han army go south to Yecheng, but I didn't expect that the great merit was picked up by Xiahou Miaocai's subordinates in vain, so we have to work harder, so as not to be looked down upon" Cao Bin bowed slightly: "What General Jing Bu said is extremely true, so this time our plan to sneak attack the granary of the Rao'an Han army must be implemented, as long as Li Jing's grain and grass can be burned, the Han army will definitely be in turmoil, and our army will be able to win a complete victory if it joins forces with the Tang army to attack." ” The envoy continued to say: "After General Leyi and Lord Fan Li captured Wei Yan, they decided that the whole army would disguise themselves as Han troops, go out of Dong'a along the Yin Valley, and go south from Rencheng County to attack Xuzhou.
Therefore, General Xiahou specially ordered a villain to inform General Cao that Li Jing is likely to retreat in the near future, please be prepared to pursue" "Sneak attack on Xiapi in the south" Cao Bin was taken aback, but had to sigh with emotion, "What a good strategy, it seems that this Le Yi and Fan Li do have some skills, and it is not blind to be able to ambush Wei Yan successfully."
Jia Xu also praised it: "I don't know if it's Leyi or Fan Li's sneak attack on Xiapi, but this move is really very clever, much stronger than attacking Qingzhou."
"How can you see it" Jing Bu stretched out his hand and stroked the thick beard, and did not approve of Jia Xu's words, "Since Wei Yan's 40,000 soldiers and horses have been completely annihilated, it is estimated that there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left in Qingzhou, and Xuzhou is guarded by Qin Qiong and Xu Da.
Jia Xu patiently analyzed: "First, Li Shimin has not launched an attack on Jiangdong for a long time, but he is afraid that his real intention is to attack Qingzhou, and the attack on Jinling is just a pretense.
If our army attacks Qingzhou, it is likely to seize territory with the Tang army, anger Li Shimin, and destroy the alliance between Tang and Wei. ” Cao Bin nodded approvingly: "What Wen He said is extremely true, the Luoyang Imperial Court is already struggling, and its destruction is imminent.
As long as the Western Han Dynasty perished, Liu Wei would be able to free up a huge number of troops to go out of Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the north, and cross the Yellow River to attack Bingzhou and Jizhou at the same time. ” "The second reason, any city in Qingzhou County, including Jinan, Linzi, Beihai, etc., cannot be compared with Xiapi, the north-south thoroughfare, if you don't take Xuzhou now, there will be no chance after Liu Wei destroys the Western Han Dynasty."
Jia Xu stroked his goatee lightly and made an analysis to the point.
Jing Bu folded his arms in front of his chest, frowned and asked, "Is there a third reason?"
Jia Xu nodded: "The third is even more important, if our army takes advantage of Wei Yan's capture and takes Jinan, Linzi and other places, it will cut off Li Jing's retreat, and then it will inevitably be counterattacked by Li Jing's army with all its might, and it will definitely pay a huge price for casualties."
And to give Qingzhou to Li Shimin, let the Tang army fight with Li Jing on the front line, and our army just hid in Xuzhou to recuperate" After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Cao Bin gave a thumbs up and praised: "Gao is really Gao listened to Mr.
Wenhe's words, and I waited for a moment, Mr. is really far-sighted, and his vision is beyond our reach."
Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said modestly: "General Cao has won the award, I only saw the clue from the sidelines, and this Leyi and Fan are not confused by the authorities, and they hit the nail on the head in Xuzhou, and their strategic vision is far above Jia Xu."
"Then General Wenhe thinks that the plan of sneaking attack on Li Jing's grain and grass can be realized" Cao Bin took his thoughts back from Xuzhou, and it was not enough to envy others, but it was imperative to take advantage of the tense opportunity of the Eastern Han Dynasty to make more military achievements.
Jia Xu frowned and said: "If Xu Yu is reliable enough, and based on the news of the annihilation of Wei Yan's entire army, Li Jing is very likely to make a decision to retreat in the near future, and there is a great chance that the sneak attack on the granary of the Rao Anhan army will succeed."
Cao Bin took the case: "Mr.
Wenhe has always been cautious, since even you said that you have a great deal of confidence in robbing grain, then hesitate not to miss the opportunity and not come again, tonight I should personally lead my troops out of the city and go to Rao'an Panguling to copy Li Jing's granary, as long as a fire is burned, Li Jing will definitely be in turmoil, and our army will take the opportunity to cover up and kill, and it will definitely make achievements." ” Jia Xu pointed to the Panguling on the map and analyzed: "This place is seventy miles away from Nanpi, eighty miles away from the high city where Li Jing was stationed, and the three places are shaped like triangles.
I am afraid that Li Jing will adopt the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao after learning that our army has robbed grain, and send a general to lead elite troops to attack Nanpi. ” Jing Bu was eager to make meritorious contributions, and immediately surrendered his hand to fight: "General Cao, you are the chief general of the three armies, you can't attack easily, you stay and sit in Nanpi, I and General Xia Luqi led an elite army out of the city, quietly killed Ben Rao'an, found the Han army granary and burned it down."
But Cao Bin also coveted this great opportunity, and politely refused: "After Li Jing learned that the granary was attacked, he would probably send Li Cunxiao and Ma Chao to kill Nanpi, so General Jing Bu, you should stay and sit in the city, Bin is the main general, you should take the lead, how can you cower and lose the morale of the three armies."
Jing Bu also knew that although Cao Bin's words were beautiful, the essence of his words was to covet this low-hanging fruit, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so they could only agree sullenly: "Since General Guohua said so, Bu has no choice but to obey his fate."
After some discussion, Cao Bin made the final decision, leaving Yingbu, Zhang Xiu, and Jia Xu to lead 30,000 horses to guard Nanpi, while Cao Bin, Xia Luqi, and Tong Yuan led 50,000 horses to leave the city immediately, marching towards Rao'an County in the southeast, and striving to arrive at Panguling in the middle of the night, killing the Han army by surprise and burning the granary.
The plan stopped, Cao Bin, Xia Luqi, and Tong Yuan lit up 50,000 elite soldiers, and all of them traveled lightly, except for knives, guns, and dry food, each archer carried ten rockets, and the other soldiers each had a bundle of firewood.
Cao Jun neither sounded the horn nor beat the gong and drum, the whole army kept silent and picked up the bell, went out of the city from the Nanpi East City Gate, and marched to Rao'an County under the guidance of the guide.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that the Han army led by Wei Yan and the Cao army fought bloodily in the Yin Valley for most of the night, and the sky-high fire reflected red for dozens of miles.
"Qiyu Dudu, the villain saw the flames in Wei County, so he went to investigate carefully, and learned a big bad news" The panting scout didn't care about giving salutes after seeing Li Jing, so he gasped and said.
Li Jing instructed his soldiers to pour a cup of tea: "Take a sip of tea to moisten your throat, I don't know what bad news there is, and say it slowly." ” The scout didn't bother to take the tea, and gasped and said, "I heard that General Wei Yan was ambushed by the Wei army in Yin Valley, and the whole army was annihilated, and General Wei Yan was also captured alive."
"Hiss lost so badly" Despite being prepared, Li Jing couldn't help but gasp.
Before receiving this news, Li Jing also knew that Wei Yan was very likely to fail, and it was likely to be attacked from behind by Xiahou Yuan or Cao Ren, resulting in a dilemma, so Li Jing decided to lure Cao Bin to burn grain, and after heavy losses, the whole army went south to smash Yecheng to rescue Wei Yan's soldiers and horses.
But I never dreamed that Wei Yan wouldn't even touch the edge of Yecheng, so he was served in a pot, this bad news was really surprising Li Jing's eyebrows were furrowed, his face was like frost, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who is the Cao general who ambushed Wei Yan who has such insight ability, it is really not to be underestimated, I am afraid that Xiahou Yuan, Cao Bin and others do not have such judgment, I don't know who the commander of the Cao army is."
The scout arched his hand and replied: "Back to Marshal's words, I heard that it is a military general named Le Yi and a military advisor named Fan Li. ” "Tut-tut, it is really a talent from the Jiangshan Dynasty, it seems that Cao Wei is also a capable person, it really should not be underestimated" Li Jing stroked his chin and fell into deep thought, the situation became serious, how to resolve the current predicament S: Finally, I recommend a friend's urban ability novel, the peak of the school flower, interested brothers can search to see if it suits their appetite. t1706231537:
