The art of war cloud "since ancient times, besieged the city, three times attacked, five times surrounded, ten times pulled".
To put it simply, when the besieging force is more than three times that of the defenders, the attack can be launched, and there is a great hope of victory.
When the besieging side outnumbered the defenders by five times, they could surround the city and try to wipe out the defenders.
When the besieging side has ten times more troops than the defending side, as long as the main general is not incompetent, no matter how he fights, he can win the final victory.
In the whole history, although Zhang Liao and Gan Ning are not outstanding generals, they are not mediocre people; And Hao Zhao lost the natural danger of Chencang Pass, the magic was not there, facing the Han army ten times his own, fighting hard for an hour and a half, the city finally fell, the five thousand defenders lost half, Hao Zhao ran into Zhang Liao when breaking through and was captured alive, and the battle ended.
Human nature determines that no matter in any era, there will always be a leading party in war, after all, ants are still greedy for life, survival is human instinct, and it has long been commonplace to betray friends to obtain benefits at the moment of life and death.
Just when Zhang Liao ordered Hao Zhao to be escorted down, a centurion of the Wei army stood up and informed: "General, the deputy general Sima Yan is Sima Yi's nephew and Sima Cuo's son, and he is being imprisoned by Hao Zhao in the official residence at the moment, please come with me to arrest people."
Hanoi Sima is now also a little famous, Sima Yi joined Cao Wei after the performance is eye-catching, the status has skyrocketed, once with Fan Zeng, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and called Cao Wei's four great strategists, recently it is more Cao Ren is highly valued, regarded as the right-hand man, for his nephew, Zhang Liao is naturally interested.
After listening to the report of the centurion of the Wei army, Zhang Liao waved his sword on his horse and ordered: "Lead the way ahead, if you can catch Sima Yan, not only will you be acquitted, but also let you continue to serve as a centurion." ” A noisy sound of footsteps sounded, and Zhang Liao led five hundred soldiers to follow the Wei centurion straight to Hao Zhao's mansion and arrest Sima Yan.
The four gates of Anyi City have all been breached, and 50,000 Han troops easily broke through the city at the cost of more than 2,000 casualties, and swarmed in from the four gates.
After Hao Zhao was captured, the defenders of the city were leaderless, except for some diehards who were still resisting stubbornly and were wiped out without much effort, most of the remaining Wei soldiers surrendered one after another, and became prisoners of the Han army.
Taishou Fuzhong, when he learned that the 50,000 Han army was pressing the border, Sima Yan was anxious like an ant on a hot pot in the room, and roared loudly outside the door: "You stupid people, follow Hao Zhao to death, you want to die, I don't want to die, let me go out, I want to leave Hedong and return to Hanoi." ” The soldiers guarding were all Hao Zhao's diehards, and they replied to Sima Yan's roar with cold knives and guns: "General Hao has an order, don't allow General Sima to step out of this room, you will die of this heart."
As time passed, the earth-shattering sound of killing gradually spread into the city from outside the city, and everyone knew that the city was lost, and even the main general Hao Zhao was captured alive.
The guards finally lost their direction, and one by one they became confused, their eyes full of helplessness and despair.
"Idiot, keep looking at me" Sima Yan kicked open the door, chattering and scolding, while striding towards the stable, looking for a war horse, about to prepare to escape from the city.
It's just that Sima Yan just rode his horse to the door, and bumped into the centurion who led the way, pointed at Sima Yan, and shouted: "This person is Sima Yan, catch him" "Take down" Zhang Liao waved his big knife and ordered the soldiers behind him to step forward and arrest people.
The city was full of Han soldiers with bright armor, Sima Yan knew that it was difficult to fly with wings, so he had an idea, and said with a smile: "The general is slow, they are all their own people, why bother to use knives and guns." ” "How do you say this" Zhang Liao immediately raised his sword and asked in a solemn voice.
Sima Yan didn't resist either, because it didn't help, so he let Han Jun twist his arms back, and argued with a smile: "Although my father Sima mistakenly worked for Cao Wei, I already had the heart of rebelling against Wei and surrendering to Han, and secretly exchanged letters with my uncle Sima Zhao for a long time.
This time, when I learned that the army was coming, I persuaded Hao Zhao to open the door and surrender, and he has been imprisoned until now, so that he cannot accept the general into the city.
What Sima Yan said is true, and I hope that the general will be clear and allow me to make meritorious contributions."
After listening to Sima Yan's defense, Zhang Liao groaned slightly, and ordered the soldiers behind him to temporarily take Sima Yan into custody, serve him with good food and drink, and wait until he returned to report to the imperial court before disposing of it.
The city of Anyi was quickly pacified, and Gan Ning was in charge of rectifying the law and order and repairing the damaged city walls, while Zhang Liao set an example to pacify the people, and repaired a book to report the victory to Xu Huang, who had just crossed the Yellow River from Pubanjin.
At noon the next day, Xu Huang and Chen Ping led 30,000 horses to arrive outside the city of Anyi.
When he came to the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Liao ordered Hao Zhao and Sima Yan to be escorted up to see Xu Huang and Chen Ping, and the two decided how to deal with them.
"Hao Bodao, you and I are both from Bingzhou, I will cherish your talent in using soldiers, if you are willing to repent, I will definitely write a book to intercede for you, so that you will atone for your sins, and heroes will be useful."
Xu Huang personally got up to untie Hao Zhao and persuaded him to surrender with a pleasant face.
Hao Zhao was cold-eyed, his face was like frost, and he said in a deep voice: "General Gongming, Zhao has heard that the gentleman does not take people's will, Hao Zhao has already held the heart of Cao Wei's death, even if he agrees to surrender at this moment, it is also a false and wronged snake, and he will inevitably find an opportunity to escape in the future, but it will affect the general."
If General Gongming remembers the friendship of his fellow villagers, please kill me quickly, in the name of Quan Hao Zhao's loyalty."
Seeing that Hao Zhao said that his heart was like steel, Xu Huang sighed, waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone has their own ambitions, don't force them."
Come on, push Hao Zhao out of the door and behead him" Sima Yan next to him shook his head in his heart, and kept cursing in his heart: "What a stupid person, stubborn, more than innocent, you don't care if you die, but Lao Tzu will be a prisoner with you, I really can't wait for Xu Huang to cut you with a thousand knives and split the body of five horses, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart." ” After a while, the knife and axe hand came to report: "General Qiyu, Hao Zhao has two corpses, please send the general" Xu Huang sighed: "Although Hao Zhao is stubborn, he is loyal, and his head is sewn back to the corpse and buried in the coffin to show his loyalty." ” Without waiting for Xu Huang to ask, Sima Yan took the initiative to jump out and re-narrate his remarks about Zhang Liao, and burst into tears when he talked about his emotion, saying how he persuaded his father Sima to rebel against Wei and surrender to Han, how he hated Sima Yi for aiding and abusing him, and how he exchanged letters with Sima Zhao.
Chen Ping laughed and said, "Since you have a close correspondence with Sima Zhao, then let me ask you, where is Sima Zhao now?"
"In" Sima Yan was speechless, this cousin was not famous, and he was not ranked among the civil and military forces of the Han Dynasty, and he had not heard his movements for many years, God knows where he is now In a hurry, Sima Yan had no choice but to make a blind call: "I vaguely remember that Uncle Gao is following Wu Qi to use troops in the West at the moment, and he is currently fighting against the Rest Empire, I don't know if this is the case."
Chen Ping stroked his palms and laughed: "I knew that you were a fool of your tongue and a bunch of nonsense."
Someone came, escorted Sima Yan into a prisoner car to the south of the Yellow River, handed over to Chen Qun, the assassin of Sizhou, and sent someone to Jinling, where the Yushitai Inspection Department questioned the crime according to the law. ” Two days later, the good news spread frequently, Cheng Yanjin led 5,000 men and horses to conquer Fenyin, Meng Liang to conquer Xie County, Qi Guoyuan to conquer Puban, Zhong Wuyan to conquer Yishi, and the five counties in the east and west of Hexi were all returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At this time, the good news came again, Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, Xue Rengui, Xu Da and others surrounded Cao's army in Baimapo, killed Pang De, captured Lejin and Leyang brothers, and since the Battle of Xuchang, a total of 150,000 Wei troops have been annihilated, which can be regarded as a complete victory.
Xu Huang immediately issued an order, ordering Cheng to bite Jin and lead his troops to attack Pi's, Qi Guoyuan to attack Wenxi, Meng Liang to attack Dayang, and Zhong Wuyan to attack Jiangyi.
For a time, the land of Cao Wei was stormy, and the Han armies from all walks of life marched hand in hand, Jin Ge Iron Horse, the banner was unfurled, and the wind in Hebei and Erzhou was loud, and the people were panicked, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
Knowing that Xu Huang had successfully taken Hedong County, Fu Youde, who was sitting in Luoyang, couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart, so he discussed with the military advisor Xu Shu, leaving Chen Qun to guard Luoyang, and crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin with 40,000 soldiers and horses, preparing to take the opportunity to attack Hanoi and deter Yecheng.
Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, there is no shortage of boats, but after half a day's effort, Fu Youde led a large army across the river and went straight to Huai County, the county governor of Hanoi.
During the march, Xu Shu suggested to Fu Youde: "Sima Yi, Fan Zeng, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu are known as the four great strategists of Cao Wei, and they are by no means unscrupulous, I am afraid that we have long expected that our army will attack Huaixian."
From Mengjin to Huaixian all the way to the valley, thorns, I am afraid of an ambush, you and I might as well go the opposite way, turn around and attack Yixian in the west, take Jiguan, and open up the road to the north to the party. ” Fu Youde praised his head: "What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true, the use of soldiers should be like this, and only by being virtual and real can you be invincible." ” The plan stopped, Fu Youde gave an order, and led 40,000 horses to suddenly turn around and go to the northwest, aiming directly at Yi County, preparing to open the road to the north to the party.
Sima Cuo, Xiahou Shang and Cao Zhen ambushed troops in Wen County for several days, but Fu Youde did not attack, and overheard the scout's report, the Han army suddenly turned north and went straight to Yi County.
"Alas, Yi County is the gateway to the Shangdang, if Yi County is lost, the Han army will inevitably be able to go north to the Shangdang and threaten to merge the state, how should this be good?"
After Sima Cuo, Xiahou Shang, and Cao Zhen got the news, they immediately let out a cold snort, like ants on a hot pot, and hurriedly withdrew the ambush soldiers from the valley, and repaired a letter to pass it to Sima Yi a hundred miles away with a flying pigeon, asking for instructions on how to deal with Fu Youde's attack t1706231537:
