The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

In this way, the two will discuss how to divide the troops.

In fact, the importance of these two arrangements is almost the same, and any arrangement is related to the success or failure of the entire battle.

Ma Chao and Zhang Yun gave in to each other, but they couldn't reach an agreement for a while.

In the end, the two had no choice but to seek help from the resourceful military adviser Pang Tong.

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said, "It's not easy! You can just draw lots! But let's explain first.

No matter which way you catch, you must execute it without compromise. "

The two looked at each other, and said in unison: "It should be like this! If you draw lots, you will never regret it!"

That being the case, Pang Tong personally wrote the lottery, and after shaking it well, the two chose.

In the end, Zhang Yun chose to lead troops to attack Chaona and Gaoping, and defend Cao Pi.

And Ma Chao naturally got the opportunity to besiege Cao Cao with His Majesty under the smooth flow.

This opportunity is also more tricky, and it is easier to make meritorious tasks.

However, Zhang He still had no expression on his face and accepted it calmly.

In the end, Ma Chao's [-] troops were evenly divided into two groups.

The two each led [-] troops and marched in different directions.

The military situation was urgent, and Ma Chao and Zhang Yun parted ways again less than a day after they reunited.

On the way to march again, Zhang Xiong saw his father's expression and asked with a puzzled look:

"Going down the Jing River to encircle Cao Cao, the opportunity to make meritorious service is readily available. But why is my father still so safe after losing this opportunity?"

Hearing this, Zhang He suddenly burst out laughing, making all his subordinates look puzzled.

"Why is the general laughing?"

"I know that you only care about the small profits in front of you, but you don't see the key to the deep level."

"I hope the general will help us to solve my doubts!" ​​Everyone said in unison.

"Since that's the case, I will tell you about it!

Going down the river and encircling Cao Cao seems to be accomplished overnight.

But what kind of person is Cao Cao?How could he be captured so easily?If one is not careful, it will escape.

If Cao Cao escaped, who should be blamed? "

When everyone heard it, they instantly understood the potential crisis and shrank their necks.

Zhang He continued to explain: "Cao Cao escaped, and the Jingshui road must not be followed. Which road will he take?"

"Where?" Everyone asked in surprise.

The first thousand and 390 chapters general attack

Zhang Yun's judgment was very clear. If Cao Cao wanted to escape from Yiju to the west, there were only two ways.

Although the main road is easy to walk, Wuzhi County has already fallen.

Therefore, after Cao Cao's defeat, he must flee by another path.

And Chaona is the last hurdle on the trail.

As long as Zhang Yun holds this position, Cao Cao will be unable to escape.

After his explanation, the soldiers under him suddenly realized.

They were full of regrets because they were not qualified to participate in the decisive battle, and they also regained their confidence.

On the second day, Zhang He and Ma Chao parted ways, and the two each led [-] soldiers and horses towards their respective goals.

At the same time, the army led by Liu Ke was also engaged in a tug-of-war with Cao Cao's main force.

Prior to this, due to the terrain restrictions between Qi County and Yiju, Liu Ke did not make any major moves for the time being.

However, since Zhang Yun captured Wuzhi County, in order to contain Cao Cao, he was not allowed to spare his troops to attack Wuzhi.

Liu Ke's offensive suddenly increased.

It's just that from Qixian County to Yiju, you can only go along the muddy and low-lying Jingshui River Valley, and the conditions are very harsh.

Therefore, by the time Zhang He and Ma Chao joined forces, Liu Ke's army had only advanced forty li.

Stopped at a place called Tingkou.

Tingkou is a very narrow and difficult pass, with the surging Jingshui in the middle.

It was the rainy season, and the river swelled sharply, leaving only a rough mountain road more than ten feet wide on the south bank to pass through.

Standing here is Cao Hong, Cao Cao's general. He is brave, resolute and proficient in the art of war. He has blocked Liu Ke's army here for ten days.

However, this is also related to Liu Ke waiting for the news of another army, not launching a general attack, and forcing too much.

Today, Liu Ke finally got the long-awaited good news.

Ma Chao had already defeated Cao Hong's [-] troops, and set out from Wushi, leading [-] troops along the Jingshui River Valley to Cao Cao in Yiju.
