Chapter 73 The Changing Situation

It took Cao Cao less than a month to take Hanzhong, but seeing that the situation was stable and Liu Bei didn't attack immediately, he decided to retreat!
After confirming that Liu Bei had no tendency to attack Hanzhong immediately, Cao Cao left Cao Hong to guard Hanzhong, let Xia Houyuan and Zhang He guard the dangerous place, and Cao Hong was in charge of the central army and commanded the armies!
At this time, Zhang Fei led an army to guard in Brazil, and Ma Chao led an army to guard Wuguan, facing Cao Hong's army far away!
When Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong, there was still a buffer zone between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the old enemies, but after Zhang Lu was captured, Cao Cao faced Liu Bei directly.

Cao Cao saw that although he has won Hanzhong now, it is not easy to win western Sichuan. He wants to stabilize the Hanzhong he just won first. With Hanzhong, he wants to win western Sichuan in the future. It is to continue to attack, and the unrepaired army may face a reversal against Liu Bei's army that has been recharging its energy for a long time.

Not only will they not be able to maintain the immediate results, they will even repeat the tragedy that happened when Cao Cao's army went south, winning first and then losing!
This was one of the stains in Cao Cao's life. He had always been ashamed of it, so Cao Cao chose to absorb the results of the victory first.

It can be said that people's hearts grow old, and it can also be said that people's hearts will change.

Cao Cao, who is strong and does not underestimate the enemy, is the strongest Cao Cao. At this time, he does not have the assistance of Guo Jia, who swept the Northland, but the duo of Jia Xu and Sima Yi still helps him not lose to anyone in strategy.

On the other side, Liu Bei, although he took down all counties and counties in Yizhou except Hanzhong, his strength was almost intact. On the contrary, because of the reorganization of western Sichuan troops, his strength increased greatly!

At this time, both of them are determined to fight, but they also know that if a war starts at this time, it will definitely be a protracted war.

The strength that has not reached the peak will make Liu Bei and Cao Cao dare not fight with all their strength. The three legs stand together, and both of them are worried about the third pole.

Cao Cao was defeated and Sun Quan took advantage of the situation to attack Hefei.

Liu Bei was defeated and Sun Quan took advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou.

With Sun Quan's strength, he can definitely be a spoiler. This is the meaning of three legs. The three stand in opposition to each other. The three restrain each other and attack each other.

"What's the matter, someone came to my city of Brazil?" Zhang Fei who was sitting at the top was speaking, and he was listening to his subordinates' report at the Brazilian Sheriff's Mansion. Beside him was a man with white eyebrows and long hair. Young scribes.

At this moment, the young scholar frowned after hearing the words of the people below. He waited until the people below had finished reporting, and then slowly said: "General, let's defend Brazil, and Zhang He leads the troops here. We must guard against it! This person is not Maybe you don’t know the general’s reputation, but you still dare to come, you must have something to rely on!”

"Zhang He, martial arts are good, but he is not my opponent. If he dares to come, I will make him look good!" Zhang Fei's voice was not loud, but it reassured the young scholar Ma Liang who heard his words.

Zhang Fei was surprised when he saw Ma Liang for the first time. In his heart, Ma Liang should be with Guan Yu, far away in Jingzhou, but he found that the best young man of the Ma family was sent by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to work for him. Thinking about it carefully, it turned out that the main reason was probably Xu Shu.

Guan Yu had Xu Shu's help, and Ma Liang had little room to perform.

And in a most important place like Jingzhou, of course, only by sending the most capable people to cooperate can we feel at ease. Although Ma Liang is a talent, he still needs training.

In the end, Ma Liang came to Zhang Fei's side.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao had a tacit understanding and did not attack, so Zhuge Liang judged that except for small-scale battles in the near future, there will be no major battles, so sending some people to Zhang Fei is enough to deal with Cao Cao's threat to Yizhou in Hanzhong.

"Liao Hua, send out scouts and report to me the itinerary of Zhang He's troops at any time!" Zhang Fei commanded and gave the order calmly.

In his opinion, in normal combat, Zhang He is worse than himself in every aspect.

Brazil also has a typical mountainous terrain. The passes here are easy to defend but difficult to attack. With a general like Zhang Fei guarding it, it will be difficult for Zhang He to take advantage!

"Ji Chang, how is the production of the pass map I asked you to make?" Zhang Fei told Ma Liang his idea dozens of days ago and asked him to draw the latest version of the pass topographic map from Brazil to Hanzhong.

And Ma Liang, within dozens of days, based on the detailed map of the 41 states of Yizhou provided by Zhang Fei and the soldiers, horses, food and grass in various places detected by the scouts sent by Zhang Fei, and the most important thing is Zhang Fei's idea, he made a quite Intuitive sandbox!

Although things are not so lifelike, they can still represent objects.

After Zhang Fei saw it, he expressed his satisfaction.The place marked with red flags on the sand table is the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Fei, and the black flag indicates Cao Jun. From the sand table, Zhang Fei firmly occupies all the passes, like an iron barrel, and the defense has no flaws at all.

"Beautiful, let's use Zhang He's army to train our army!" Zhang Fei spoke as if Zhang He's army was just the object of his training.

"General, don't be careless! A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength!" Ma Liang said to Zhang Fei very seriously at this time.

"Don't worry, Ji Chang! I know it well!" Zhang Fei said seriously.

In Brazil County, Zhang Fei is caught by the military and government, but Zhang Fei will assign it. Zhang Fei, who is obsessed with martial arts, will not intervene more in the affairs of his subordinates when he has an overview of the overall situation. His men will come to supplement everything, and if you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask Zhang Fei for advice.

Before he knew it, Zhang Fei's control over Brazil County was no better than Zhang Lu's control over Hanzhong, which had been entrenched in Hanzhong for a long time.

Zhang He's army came at the right time, and even if Zhang He had something to rely on, Zhang Fei said that Zhang He was not bluffing at all. Zhang He was somewhat capable, but he was very emotional, and was not a general at all.

The world will be divided for a long time, and the world will be united for a long time. The great war to unify the world will start in Hanzhong, so Zhang Fei wants to be familiar with Zhang He's army and Cao Jun, so that he can seize the opportunity in the foreseeable war in the future .

"Zhang He has 3 troops, 1 of them are old soldiers mobilized from the Central Plains and Liangzhou, and only [-] are recruits who have just been recruited. These people's combat power is not weak. If Zhang He uses them well, they can Let us feel the aggrieved feeling that Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were oppressed by Zhang Ren and could not make an inch of success!"

"That's right, Zhang He was one of the four court pillars in Hebei back then, and he was also a rare general under Cao Cao. He is very good at commanding tough and vicious battles. He knows how to advance and retreat. He is such a formidable enemy!" Zhang Fei did not despise Zhang He. Meaning, on the contrary, for Zhang He's attack, he despises the opponent strategically, but attaches great importance to it tactically!
