Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 119

"Time waits for no one. Cao Jun's disastrous defeat this time will have an immeasurable impact."

Seeing that everyone looked over, Yuan Xi pointed to the map: "General Gao, you will immediately lead your army to Huayin tomorrow, and you must take Huayin and Weinan as quickly as possible, and go west all the way, bypassing Huashan and going straight to Lantian. , and then approached the Qingni pass."

Gao Lan nodded silently.

"Qingni pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you can attack, you can attack. If you can't attack, you can rely on Lantian to block all support to the east."

Yuan Xi looked at Gao Lan and smiled slightly, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"My subordinate understands."

Gao Lan stared at the map and nodded.

Yuan Xi's intention could not be more obvious.

This is to cut off all the lifelines supporting Hangu Pass, that is to say, completely trap Hangu Pass to death.

Before this strategy was achieved, Hangu Pass had no natural dangers to defend, and there were only three roads before Cao Jun.

One is to stick to Hangu Pass, and send troops to take Tongguan again.The odds are pretty slim.

The second is to go out of Hangu Pass and completely defeat Yuan Jun. In this way, the siege of Hangu Pass will be opened automatically, and all his military actions of Gao Lan will be meaningless.

But before that, Cao Pi in Yongzhou had to be on guard against sending troops to support him.

But in order to stop Yuan Jun, Cao Jun stationed a large number of troops in Tongguan, Hangu Pass and Wuguan.

How many soldiers and horses Cao Pi can send is a question mark!

After the order was conveyed, Yuan Xi didn't stay in Tongguan too long, leaving Guo Tu to help Gao Lan, and rushed back to Hangu Pass overnight with thousands of troops.

The situation at Hangu Pass is a bit miserable, the general is not in a hurry, but the morale of ordinary soldiers of Yuan Jun is very low.

But these are not big problems.

As long as the general's confidence is still there, with a few words of encouragement, morale will immediately rise.

When Yuan Xi returned to Hangu Pass, Zhang Yun and others rushed into the big tent.

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord."

Zhang He admired the five-body projection. Before Yuan Xi went to Tongguan, he didn't believe that Yuan Xi could win Tongguan.

But I didn't expect that the news that Tongguan had been conquered would come soon.

It really surprised him.

"My lord crosses the sea without telling the truth, it's really an ingenious plan, it's admirable."

Cheng Yu expressed emotion, Yuan Xi had always asked their opinions before doing things.

I rarely express my own opinion.

I never thought that this time, Tongguan would be won so simply and neatly.

It was still when the major counselors were thinking hard.

Yuan Xi was in a good mood, waved his hands and said, "Stop slapping flamboyant asses, and now I'm still thinking about how to take down Hangu Pass."

Everyone restrained themselves and looked at Yuan Xi together.

"Our army wiped out the Tongguan defenders and captured Cao Hong alive. Xia Houyuan must have heard the news, but they will only think that it was Cao Hong's rash advance that led to the disastrous defeat."

In fact, Yuan Xi spread the news in the same way.

"Therefore, when Gao Lan's army approached Qingni Pass, Xia Houyuan and Sima Yi's mentality would definitely be affected."

Yuan Xi looked at the crowd, "They are in a hurry, so we have a chance. In two days, how to let Hanguguan Cao's army go out of the city to fight us to the death, what do you think?"

"A decisive battle within two days?" Cheng Yu frowned, "Why don't you wait for General Gao to approach the Qingni Pass, when that happens, Cao Jun will have to make a choice."

Yuan Xi smiled without explaining.

Chunyu Qiong coughed softly, "My lord said that it will take half a month to break through the pass, and it will take more than half a month for General Gao to arrive at Qingni Pass."

Cheng Yu blushed, laughed twice, and stopped talking.

"Everyone go back and think about how to get Sima Yi and Xia Houyuan out of the city ahead of time."

Yuan Xi travels all day and night, feeling a little sleepy.

On the way back, he repeated the simulation again. The history has not changed. Tomorrow night, Cao Jun will definitely go out of the city to attack at night.

Counting, this is the third night attack launched by Cao Jun.

Once at Hangu Pass, Yuan Jun pretended to be defeated.

Once in Tongguan, Yuan Jun defeated first and then won, and successfully captured Tongguan and captured Cao Hong alive.

It is not difficult to understand that Sima Yi wants to do it again.

Because the dark night changes too much.

Although Yuan Jun was defeated, he won a big victory at Tongguan, and his morale has been revived.

The front is tough, Cao Jun is far inferior to Yuan Jun in numbers, and in any case at least on the surface, he will suffer.

Everyone left cleanly.

Yuan Xi was in a good mood, lying on the bed, just about to ask Qin Wu to come in and beat his back.

There was a noise outside the big tent.

"My lord, rest again, no one is allowed to enter without permission."

"Get out of the way, I want to see him."

There was a sound of weapons.

Yuan Xi frowned secretly, sighed, "Let her in."

Ma Yunlu ran into the big tent like a gust of wind, came to Yuan Xi's bed, knelt down on the ground, and said with red eyes: "General Yuan, please save my brother."

"stand up."

Ma Yunlu looked at him stubbornly, but didn't get up.

"If you don't get up, go back."

Ma Yunlu jumped up and wiped away his tears.

"I don't know what your elder brother's situation is now, how to save him?"

"My elder brother is definitely not dead, they must have imprisoned my elder brother."

Ma Yunlu pleaded: "I heard that you captured Cao Hong. If you exchanged with them, I think Cao Pi will definitely change."

Yuan Xi's expression was cold, and he stared at Ma Yunlu indifferently.

Ma Yunlu bit his lips and looked at Yuan Xi, "Cao Hong is no more than an enemy army and is useless to Yuan's army. If you win the elder brother, I promise to persuade the elder brother to work for you. My elder brother is much better than Cao Hong."

"Is it?"

Yuan Xi got up from the bed, walked to one side of the short table and sat down.

Ma Yunlu burst into tears, "My elder brother is desperate. As long as you are willing to take him in, he will definitely be willing to serve you. It is somewhat useful to let him lead the army to fight Cao Jun."

"What if you don't obey?" Yuan Xi asked casually.

"Will not."

"Answer my question directly."

"Then do whatever you want."

Yuan Xi raised his head, with a half-smile on his handsome face, "You should be clear about my identity, I am willing to use you and give you a chance if you are capable, but I don't like people who don't know their heights, understandable ?”

Ma Yunlu lowered his head, "Understood."

"Know what!" Yuan Xi said angrily, "I told you this for your elder brother, do you think I told you?"

Ma Yunlu raised his head and looked at Yuan Xi with dull eyes.

"Wait until I take Hangu Pass down. If your elder brother is not dead, it's fine to keep it locked for a few more days."

Ma Yunlu was a little anxious, "But if we change now."

Yuan Xi interrupted her without hesitation, "Don't push yourself too hard, I'm just notifying you."

"Oh."

Ma Yunlu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his haggard face, "Thank you, General."

Yuan Xi smiled, and raised his voice outside: "Qin Wu."

Qin Wu walked in from the outside.

"Keep an eye on the door and don't let anyone in."

Qin Wu turned around and left.

Ma Yunlu was very unhappy with Qin Wu's attitude, "Why is she like this? She doesn't respect you at all."

Yuan Xi poured himself a cup of tea, squinted his eyes and drank it, then sighed comfortably, "If you have what she has, you can do it too."

Ma Yunlu pouted.

"come over."

Yuan Xi pushed the tea set to the back of the table, with teasing eyes.

Ma Yunlu's face turned red, and he carefully looked outside the big tent, a pair of slender jade hands intertwined, very coy.

Yuan Xi patted the table.

Ma Yunlu walked over with his head down.

Ma Yunlu is slender and has slender and strong legs. Although she has been haggard recently, it just neutralized the girl's original heroic appearance, making her look weaker and more beautiful now.

Yuan Xi stretched out his arms and held the girl in his arms.

Ma Yunlu's whole body was weak, and he leaned his head on Yuan Xi's shoulder, his delicate face was like fire, and his star eyes were half-opened and half-closed.

Yuan Xi ravaged the beautiful woman's red lips before saying softly, "What have you been up to lately?"

Ma Yunlu's eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice choked up, "I want to save my brother."

"Have you thought about it?"

Ma Yunlu shook his head, "No one is willing to help me, they all say they need your order."

Yuan Xi smiled, "You are so naive, who would dare to help you without my order?"

Ma Yunlu was so sad that he didn't speak.

Yuan Xi said indifferently: "Do you think it's all your elder brother's subordinates? They coaxed you thousands of times just to flatter you?"

"Don't talk about it, people are sad."

Ma Yunlu was so sad that he was about to cry.

"It's right to be sad. If you don't know the dangers of people and things, you don't know how lawless it is."

Ma Yunlu's cherry lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to refute, but he didn't speak.

Yuan Xi rubbed him hard, Ma Yunlu blushed, and hugged him tightly with his backhand.

"Learn how to be a woman," Yuan Xi said indifferently, "You can be cold-hearted in front of the outside world, but when facing your own man, what you should want is to please, not be unscrupulous, understand? "

Ma Yunlu rolled his dark eyes and nodded.

"I won't repeat the redundant words." Yuan Xi said, "Do you think my wife and her elder brother have been arrested, and I will be so calm?"

Ma Yunlu frowned slightly.

"Use your brain more, think about the key to this."

Ma Yunlu was thoughtful, Yuan Xi held her and stood up.
Inside Hangu Pass.

Xia Houyuan, Sima Yi and the others had serious expressions on their faces.

Standing in front of the map, Zhang Ren said in a deep voice, "With the loss of Tongguan, Hangu Pass will be useless, even if it can be held temporarily." He pointed to the Qingni pass, "As long as Gao Lan leads the army here and cuts off the supply of food and grass, we will take it Do not fight and collapse."

Xia Houyuan looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was silent for a while before he said: "Qingni Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it cannot be defended. It is just a battle with Gao Lan with the momentum of victory, but our army has little chance of winning."

Zhang Ren asked to fight and said: "I am willing to lead my troops to Qingni Pass, and have a hearty battle with Gao Lan."

Sima Yi fell into silence again, and said after a long time: "No, if we lose, our army will have no chance of winning, and it will be of no use for me to wait to garrison Hangu Pass."

Annoyance flashed in Zhang Ren's eyes.

Xia Houyuan hurriedly said, "What's the strategist's plan?"

"There is no clever plan," Sima Yi sighed, "I just think it is better to fight Yuan Jun outside the city. As long as we can win another big battle, the siege will be broken by itself."

Zhang Ren suppressed his anger and said: "Yuan Jun is waiting to encircle and cut off our food and grass. How can he fight our army head-on?"

"Besides, there are [-] Yuan troops outside the city, how to fight? In my opinion, I have to take the opportunity to defeat Gao Lan and regain Tongguan."

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Although Yuan Jun is powerful, he has been defeated by our army many times, and his morale is low. If our army finds the right opportunity, we can win a battle."

"Instead, go to stop Gao Lan. Our army has no choice but to defeat him, otherwise there will be no chance of winning."

"you!"

Zhang Ren asked for a fight several times, but was rejected by Sima Yi, and his anger could no longer be controlled.

Sima Yi said softly: "General, don't be in a hurry. I'll attack the Yuan army outside the city first. If we don't gain anything, how about the general's strategy?"

Zhang Ren snorted, turned and left.

"General Zhang?"

Xia Houyuan called out loudly, then looked back at Sima Yi, and sighed heavily.

Sima Yi said calmly: "Tonight at midnight there will be an east wind, so the whole army will carry rockets and go out of the city to attack at night."

Xia Houyuan nodded, and asked doubtfully, "Military Master, which one is here?"

"A lesson for everyone, don't ignore it, just let him defend the city. Go all out tonight, and Yuan Jun must be severely injured." Sima Yi sighed, "Tongguan is lost, leaving us with little chance, General Zilian is confused. "

Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong have a very good relationship, thinking that Cao Hong's life and death are unknown now, he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Zhang Ren rushed back to the mansion angrily, slammed the table, and shouted: "Sima Pifu, how dare you look down on me!"

All the subordinates looked at each other, Leng Bao asked: "Why is the general so arrogant?"

Zhang Ren kept roaring, and said what he and Sima Yi said, "Beat Gao Lan, all problems will be solved, the old man actually wants to completely defeat the [-] yuan army outside the city, I really think that after several victories, I don't take Yuan army seriously ?”

General Lei Tong said: "I can't wait for the guest army, just come and help, if you can help, if you can't, then just let it go, why should the general be so arrogant?"

Zhang Ren sighed, "I don't know what you mean? It's just that my lord told me to help Cao Jun as much as possible, but I didn't think about it."

Zhang Ren sighed again and again.

Left and right are silent.

"Everything is ready."

Zhang Ren thought for a while, "If the situation is not right and Cao's army is defeated, I will wait and leave. I can't stay and wait for death."

The crowd clapped.

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard walked in and handed him a letter.

After Zhang Ren opened it, he frowned deeply.

It was night, the stars and the moon were dark, and the wind suddenly rose.

Tens of thousands of Cao Jun quietly left the city.

On the city wall of Hangu Pass, Zhang Ren and the others, Sima Yi and the others stared at the darkness ahead, their hearts tensed.

I don't know how long it took, there was a faint shouting sound from the distant sky, and the sky-reaching fire flashed in the eyes of every Cao Jun.

Sima Yi put his hands on the cold city wall, his eyes fixed on the front.

This battle is about the fate of Cao Jun. If he loses, Cao Jun will basically be gone.

He couldn't help being nervous.

It is not a good choice to attack Yuan Jun again at night this time.

But this is already the best way. If you miss it, Cao Jun will also be in a dilemma.

Retreating means completely abandoning the pass.

It also means that there is no place for Cao Jun to gain a foothold in the world.

This is a gamble, or a confrontation with fate.

Will the destiny be with Cao Jun?

Sima Yi lost confidence for the first time.

The loss of Tongguan was too sudden and the impact was too great.
