The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 487 Develop a battle plan
This kind of capable and loyal talent is suitable for vigorous cultivation. Even if there are too many generals under Zhang Wu's command and cannot be reused, they can be reserved for his son.

The first few generations of a dynasty were generally in a relatively strong expansion period, and there were not too many talents at all. You can’t learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, who almost killed all the founding heroes who could fight, and ended up with a The change of Tumubao.

Xiang Chong led his troops to ambush near Wuguan, and found that it was tightly guarded and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he retreated decisively, joined Zhang Wu who was waiting on the road, and went straight to Hanzhong.

"Your Majesty welcomes you!" Xu Shu led the civil and military officials from Hanzhong out of the city to welcome Zhang Wu, and Zhang Song, Meng Da and others from Chengdu also rushed over.

"Thank you, everyone, let's go, let's go to the city and talk about it."

After Zhang Wu became king, his relationship with his subordinates was different.Although he was also the boss in the past, he was still an official of the big man, and his subordinates and generals were also officials of the big man. Speaking of which, we were all colleagues, but everyone's salary was paid by Zhang Wu out of his own pocket.

After becoming king, Zhang Wu is the boss of his own business, and everyone else is his subordinate.

It's like Dahan is a large group company. The young chairman Liu Xie lacks the ability and prestige to control the company, so he was forced to appoint Cao Cao as the general manager to preside over all the company's work.

Later, Cao Cao used a series of methods to kill Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, Zhang Lu and other major shareholders, and forcibly assigned half of the company's shares to his own name, and then established the Northern Branch Dawei Group under the name of the head office. , Cao Cao concurrently serves as the chairman of the Great Wei Group.

Zhang Wu refused to accept Cao Cao, so he first inherited the shares of the major shareholder Liu Biao through a secret operation, and then the joint shareholder Liu Bei killed the major shareholder Sun Quan, forced the major shareholders Liu Zhang and Shi Xie to surrender, and also controlled nearly half of the shares of the head office, and established the Southern Branch. Dachu Group, the company, serves as the chairman of the group.

In order to compete for the shares and property of the head office, the chairman of the two branch companies broke out many wars one after another.

After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi's ambitions swelled, and he was unhappy that he still had a boss in name, so he forced Liu Xie to abdicate for the elderly, canceled the Dahan Group directly, and upgraded the Dawei Group to the head office, with Cao Pi serving as the chairman of the head office.

When Zhang Wu saw Cao Pi doing this, he was overjoyed. I wanted to be independent a long time ago, but I couldn’t put it into action due to various reasons. Now that your surname Cao has lost the head office, I have no What worries.

Therefore, under the persuasion of his subordinates, Zhang Wu separated Dachu Group from the head office and became an independent group company.

From then on, the war between the Great Wei Group and the Great Chu Group was no longer a dispute within the Han Dynasty, but a war between two countries, and the land of China once again entered a formal division.

After entering Nanzheng City, Zhang Wu held a military conference on capturing Wudu.

"Everyone, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in dispute for more than 30 years. The people have suffered from wars, and they all yearn to restore unity and live and work in peace and contentment. I also came from a poor family. Fortunately, thanks to the strength of all of you, I was able to become king, but I always remember the wish of the year. That is to let the people in the world eat and read books. It is not a few people boasting. Over the years, everyone in the south and the people in the north can see clearly. This troubled world will eventually be brought to an end by us ; This world will also be unified by us!"

After Zhang Wu became king, he was a little unaccustomed to "calling himself lonely and widowed" at the beginning, but he gradually got used to it. It's still the same sentence, anyone can do it in that position, but some people can do it well, and some people can do it well. Bad.

"The ministers are willing to follow the king to create a peaceful and prosperous world, go through fire and water, and do not hesitate!" Xu Shu, Ma Chao, Zhang Song, Huang Zhong, Fazheng, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Li Yan and other civil servants and generals leaned over and said in unison.

"Okay! After the Battle of Hanzhong, we have recharged our energy and accumulated strength. Now the time is ripe. It's time to launch a general offensive and sound the horn of the Northern Expedition! Yuan Zhi, please introduce the situation in Wudu first."

Xu Shu got up and went to the large sand table in the middle of the conference room, picked up a thin wooden stick and pointed to the location of Wudu and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, Wudu County is surrounded by mountains, sparsely populated, and the food output is not much. The traffic in the prefecture and Guanzhong is inconvenient, so it is said that it is difficult to defend the attack of the army. However, the area around Wudu County is open and suitable for cavalry operations. In the past, our army lacked cavalry, so it was impossible to attack the city frontally."

The small stick in Xu Shu's hand drew a circle near Xiabian, which is the only Chenghui Basin in Wudu County suitable for living and production. The infantry on the nearby small plain is enough to confront Cao's army head-on, and Yang Pu, the king of Wudu, has already surrendered to Da Chu, so the time is ripe to take Wudu."

Then Ma Chao and Zhao Yun respectively introduced the current situation of the Great Chu cavalry, whether they could withstand the charge of Cao Jun's cavalry in the Battle of Wudu and help each other in the infantry phalanx.Huang Zhong and Zhang Ren respectively reported on the situation of the infantry, and finally Fazheng explained the battle plan.

Fazheng said: "The Cao army in Wudu is concentrated in Xiabian City. The defenders are Yu Jin, Zhang He and Xu Huang. There are [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. In the past, we did not dare to besiege the city mainly because we were afraid that the cavalry in the city would go out to fight back. We don't have cavalry to guard the grain roads, so the army can't besiege the city for a long time. Now our cavalry is enough to fight against Cao's army, so Cao's army in Xiabian City is nothing to worry about. The most important thing is to block Cao's reinforcements from Guanzhong and Liangzhou."

Wudu County couldn't afford too many troops, so after Cao Cao lost Hanzhong, he couldn't garrison a large army in Wudu to guard against Zhang Wu. The main force of Cao's army on the west front was in Guanzhong, stationed in Chang'an, and Liangzhou also had a lot of troops.In order to defend Wudu, Cao Cao spent a lot of food and grass, because it was too troublesome to transport it from Guanzhong to Wudu.

In history, after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, Cao Cao immediately gave up Wudu, moved all the people in Wudu County, and deployed heavy troops in Guanzhong, because Cao Cao knew that Wudu was not easy to defend, even though the location of Wudu was very important , is the gate of Liangzhou.

Later, it also proved the importance of Wudu to Liangzhou. During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, he went out of Wudu to rely on Ma Chao's prestige in Liangzhou to take three of the five counties in Longyou in one fell swoop. Xu, Yin Shang and others surrendered to Zhuge Liang, and Guo Huai, governor of Yongzhou, retreated to Shangying to stand by and wait for help.

At that time, the entire court of Cao Wei was "fearful", and many people thought that Cao Wei was going to be doomed. Just like when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, even Cao Cao was so scared that he wanted to move the capital.

It's a pity that Ma Di didn't block Zhang Yun at Jieting, so Zhang Yun led his army to recover the three counties of Longyou. Zhuge Liang was afraid that Zhang Yun would cut off his back, so he had to retreat.

In fact, the real purpose of Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition was to occupy Longyou, not Guanzhong, because after Longyou, he could not only cut off the connection between Wei Guoguanzhong and Liangzhou, but also obtain war horses.With Ma Chao's prestige in Liangzhou, as long as the Shu Kingdom occupies Longyou, Liangzhou will be in the bag sooner or later.
