The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 374
In the absence of more definite news from Guandu, Lu Heng ordered the army to adjust and prepare to attack at any time. At the same time, he asked the messengers to inform Zhang Liao's troops that if Cao Cao was defeated, he could go north directly and act cheaply.

A few days later, news from Yingchuan, Chenliu, Chenguo, and Jinyiwei in the west of Runan came like snowflakes. They all reported to Lu Heng that Cao Cao was migrating to the west, and the specific destination was unknown.

When Lu Heng saw the news that Cao Cao had begun a large-scale population migration, he was taken aback, and immediately consulted with his advisers.

Ding Wei was the first to jump out, saying that Cao Cao couldn't stand the double attack from Lu Heng and Yuan Shao and wanted to retreat!It coincides with the previous analysis by Liu Ye.

The purpose of relocating the population of Yingchuan, Chenliu, Chenguo, and Runan to the west is to supplement the strength of other regions. Now the only territory where Cao Cao has no action is Sili. In order to preserve strength, Yuan Shao and Lu Heng threw out bait at the same time.

Ding Wei even dared to assert that Cao Cao must have made big moves in Guandu in the near future!It is recommended that our army act immediately to send troops to Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Now is the best opportunity to send troops.

Ding Wei's words made everyone fall into deep thought. Judging from the intelligence, Ding Wei's analysis was correct, but from the emotional point of view, Li Zhu, Chen Gong, Du Gao and others couldn't believe that Cao Cao had such courage!
This is the land of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and half of Xuzhou has been occupied by Lu Heng. Cao Cao abandoned all his roots in the Central Plains.

But everyone didn't mention other possibilities, and Yu Yunwen even affirmed Ding Wei's judgment!
Lu Heng felt that he still underestimated Cao Cao and Guo Jia. Obviously, Cao Cao didn't want to be a snipe or a clam. Now that he had already made such a big move, Cao Cao would not be able to fight Yuan Shao to the end, and in the end it was cheaper for me, Lu.

Lu Heng is not stupid, after Ding Wei's analysis, he naturally thought that Cao Cao was going to let Yuan Shao's main force go south, and then the old man Cao Cao shrank to one side, and what he was fighting was Lu Heng's original idea. Look at what Lu Heng and Yuan Shao were fighting. Bleeding!Come out to harvest again!
Cao Cao has already made up his mind to retreat. If Lu Heng sends troops, if he does not send troops, Cao Cao will pat his ass and leave. If he does not send troops, these places will be given to Yuan Shao. Come and beat yourself up, the current situation is that Lu Heng has to send troops!
This is a straightforward conspiracy, Lu Heng had to face Yuan Shao's main force and die!
Yu Yunwen, Ding Wei and others analyzed the form, and Cao Cao's plan gradually surfaced under the analysis of everyone, but this is Yangmou Lu Heng has to jump if he jumps, and he has to jump if he doesn't jump!
Everyone was still discussing, and Lu Heng kept staring at the map, as if a flower could be seen on the map of the Thirteen States of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

While Lu Heng was staring at the map, all the counselors were also thinking about whether there was a better way. After a long time, Lu Heng suddenly seemed to have caught some inspiration, and quickly wet his finger with water on the place where Cao Cao moved the population. Draw a circle.

The first is Yingchuan County below Hanoi, then Chen Guo on the right side of Yingchuan County, Chenliu County on the upper right corner, and the west of Runan just below. The four circles almost form a parallelogram. These are Cao Cao's population migration. The place.

But looking from top to bottom, coincidentally, the west of Yingchuan County is Sili, and the west of Runan West is Nanyang County in Jingzhou!
To put it another way, these two places just formed a isolation zone, covering all the east exits of Cao Cao's site.

Lu Heng fell into deep contemplation, and carefully looked at Chen Guo and Chenliu Commandery Yimapingchuan. In his memory, there was no strong city to defend. Then he continued to look to the right. Peiguo and the central and eastern parts of Runan.

Lu Heng focused on a solid point in Puyang, Dongjun County, and two identical points in Yuanju and Dingtao in Jiyin County, and then focused on Suiyang, the government of Liang State, and Qiao County in Pei State. Another point, as well as Xinyang and Zhisuo Pingyu in the middle of Runan, each with two points, and then seven points are connected in a line.

These six cities all have several characteristics, fortified city, administrative place, and dangerous geography. After drawing this line, Lu Heng asked everyone whether there were indeed no fortified cities in Chen Guo and Chen Liu?

After receiving a unified answer from everyone: "No!"

Lu Heng continued to look at the map. This time it was not Yanzhou and Yuzhou, but Xuzhou. First, he drew an upward arrow in Xiapi County, which was Donghai County, and then drew three arrows pointing at Lu State and Langya respectively. In the end, the country was in the Taishan Army's round, and then Xuzhou went north to Qingzhou.

Lu Heng's strange behavior naturally aroused the attention of all the advisers. It goes without saying that the circles drawn by Lu Heng are the places where Cao Cao moved his population. The arrow is the main attack direction!

"The main attack is a great talent! Yun Wen admires it!"

Yu Yunwen's words brought Lu Heng back to his senses, and then he scratched his head and said, "Is this okay, everyone? Can this line of defense withstand Yuan Shao's main force?"

The people sitting next to him are all talented people, and the picture drawn by Lu Heng is clear, but the place where Cao Cao moved the population was abandoned and Yuan Shao occupied it. This will form a situation where Cao Cao borders Yuan Shao but not Lu Heng.

In other words, the original hamburger structure with Yuan Shao on the top, Cao Cao on the middle, and Lu Heng on the bottom has changed to a Sichuan character structure with Cao Cao on the left, Yuan Shao in the middle, and Lu Heng on the right.

In this way, if Cao Cao wants to send troops, he will still attack Yuan Shao's territory. With this isolation zone, even if Lu Heng fights Yuan Shao to the death, he doesn't have to worry about Cao Cao's sudden negative attack from behind.

The defensive line drawn by Lu Heng was a position that he wanted to occupy. He used these six strong cities to draw a defensive line from the flat terrain to resist Yuan Shao's main force.

The final arrow is the direction of the main attack. After Lu Heng took the main force northward to take down the entire Xuzhou, the first waterway merged and annexed Qingzhou, and then took advantage of the powerful water army to control the Yellow River, and attacked Yuan Shao's hinterland from Qingzhou northward.

Such strategic planning has several advantages!
First, as mentioned earlier, Lu Heng was prevented from being attacked by the two companies at any time, just like Cao Cao was before.

Second, now that Yuan Shao's main force is at Guandu, there is a high probability that Yuan Shao will attack the defense line drawn by Lu Heng. It is impossible to move the main force to Qingzhou. Such a huge project is far away, and the consumption of food and grass alone is enough for Yuan Shao to fight another ten feet. .

In this way, using the defensive line to contain and consume Yuan Shao's main force, Lu Heng led the army to attack Qingzhou at the wrong peak, which is far better than being hard shelled with Yuan Shao's main force.

The third is to destroy Cao Cao's plan. Even if the war is unfavorable, the old boy Cao Cao can only stare blankly and attack Yuan Shao because it is impossible to cross Yuan Shao's territory to attack Lu Heng.
