Chapter 3270 All tactics depend on changing the family
Originally planned to expand the flanks of Cao's army, Cao Hong.
If Cao Hong could conquer Puban County and take Pubanjin before, then he would not only have the capital to go west to threaten Fei Qianguanzhong, but also have an excellent channel to go north to break through Emeiling.
After all, from Puban County to the north, the direction of attack and defense is very clear.
Unfortunately, Cao Hong failed.
So he could only settle for the second best to solve the problem of Gundam's two generals as defensive flanks, only seeking no loss, not seeking progress. Gundam was obviously not as good as his own name Plus, and was killed by Sima Yi with a fake report, and the rest of the patient was trembling.
The answer was not a general with great wisdom. He was a little brave, but he was not outstanding. Of course, it was pretty good to deal with the soldiers, but he couldn't even compare with Cao Hong.
Cao Cao sent a defense to protect the flanks, not to let him fight alone to open up a passage that Cao Hong could not capture, but just for defense and alert. Unexpectedly, he could not even defend himself...
Is the false report a case? From a certain perspective, it proves that Sima Yi is treacherous, but it also shows that he is stupid in understanding the situation.
Therefore, I have been a little nervous these days, for fear of receiving scolding or punishment from Cao Cao.
Unexpectedly, the one who came to the rescue was not Cao Cao's special envoy, but Cao Ping and his party. Then, from Cao Ping's mouth, he realized what he had missed and what he had done wrong...
This time, Sima Yi did suffer a big loss.
Sima Yi originally wanted to attack the Cao army's transfer camp, burn the Cao army's food and grass, and check if he could catch some bigger fish and shrimps, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate of Qianzhao and immediately ran back in shame.
After defeating Sima Yi, Qianzhao was about to withdraw his troops. Qianzhao believed that defeating Sima Yi once would be enough, so that Sima Yi could know that there was a cavalry guard here, so Sima Yi would naturally not dare to continue to be arrogant. Although the combat result was not perfect enough, it also achieved certain results.
But the problem is that Cao Ping is not happy to end the battle like this.
Because he didn't get anything, it is actually an excuse to say that "indulge the enemy" is actually an excuse.
So, Cao Ping found a sense of understanding.
At the beginning, I thought it was Sima Yi's false report, but I found that it was the real Zhonggu Army Cao Ping, so I hurried out to greet him. Then I bowed to Cao Ping's horse and said respectfully: "Report to the Duwei, I am... I am unable to clearly observe the traitor army's plan... I am damaged, and the Duwei is punished...
During this period of time, he kept his head shrank, afraid that the cavalry army would attack. As a result, he heard that Cao Ping had defeated Sima Yi, he was also surprised and couldn't help but feel panic. His attitude towards Cao Ping was naturally very good, and he put his position very low.
Cao Ping felt much more comfortable by resolving this attitude.
It's like the one who pulls the ball, which is smelly and hard, and it's simply unreasonable.
"Well, I won't mention this matter for now." Cao Ping dismounted and helped him up. "The thief was cunning, and if he was not careful, he would inevitably fall into a trap... How many troops are there in your army now?"
Relieve it, "This...
Cao Ping also realized that he seemed a little anxious, so he nodded, "Let's talk about advanced camp."
"Yes, yes..." Jiewei nodded repeatedly, "Prince, please..."
After entering the camp, Cao Ping did not say that he would go and take a look at the injured Captain Gao.
Commander Jie also lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
Although Jie Ying and Gundam are the chief lieutenant, they sounded like their titles were not bad as Cao Ping, but everyone understood the gap. It was like whether all managers were managers.
"The thief army dispatched three thousand people?" Cao Ping couldn't help but sneer, "Are you sure?"
"Uh...this..." He lowered his head, "Prince Gao..."
"I'm asking you." Cao Ping is arrogant and arrogant.
After a moment of silence, "The thief army should actually have... two, two thousand..."
"Sher!" Cao Ping sneered, "The total number of thieves is less than a thousand!"
"The Chief Commander!" Jie Ying widened his eyes. He was unwilling to admit that Sima Yi had a small number of people just to prove that he was not so incompetent. Now if the number of people in Sima Yi was less than a thousand, wouldn't he seem to be too much?
Cao Ping said slowly, his nostrils were raised very high, "Before he came, he fought with Sima's little thief, defeated him in the transit camp, and killed the thief in vain! The thief army was dispersed, and some people followed him all the way, but he didn't expect that the lieutenant Jie closed the camp and could easily let go of the defeated thief..."
Ignore? Well, I didn't count.
My face turned dark after a while.
He was afraid of Sima Yi, so when he knew that Sima Yi was defeated, he didn't believe it at all. He thought that Sima Yi had done something to lure troops. If something happened again, he would really lose his mind. Adhering to the principle of doing more mistakes and not doing well, he pretended not to see Sima Yi flee, but he didn't expect that Sima Yi was defeated and fled this time!
This... the baby is so sad!
But Cao Ping wanted to hold the hat of the enemy on the head of the traitor, and the traitor was naturally not allowed to be solved.
However, Cao Ping re-used the same trick, and it was for the sake of the army, not really trying to reconcile and reconcile. So after saying a word, he said: "But the reconciliation of the camp is also the responsibility of the on-duty... but there is no need to treat the thief army as a flood and a beast... What do you think of the Captain Jie?"
What else can I say to relieve my feelings? I can only say repeatedly, "Emperor Cao is mighty! I am here, I am here to admire you! I am here to admire you!"
Cao Ping nodded humbly, "It's all wise, and knowing that the thief will come to attack, so he ordered someone to fight... Well, after this battle, how many troops do you think the thief army can have left?"
Jie Qing was stunned, and then understood, "Duwei, what do you mean?"
Cao Ping smiled, "Don't you want to eliminate shame and make another contribution?"
"I'm in the lower part, I'm in the lower part, and I'm in the lower part," said explaining.
"Then you have to take action!" Cao Ping shouted, "Is there a map? Take it!"
As if he was Cao Ping's subordinate, he quickly took the map and expanded it on the table.
"Look, Puban County is connected together. There is Emei Ridge above and Dahe Ferry west," Cao Ping pointed to the map and said in a deep voice, "If you can get it, you will master the key points for the lord and open up a new path! This is a great achievement!"
"This..." The solution was obviously a little hesitant, "There are many defenders in Puban County..."
"Haha." Cao Ping said with some disdainful smile, "There might be some before, but... How many people do you think Sima Xiaozhe can have left? Well, this is an excellent opportunity."
Cao Ping turned to Jie Qing, stared at Jie Qing and said, "Has the thief scouts appeared in the past few days?"
After thinking about it, he shook his head.
"That's it, even the scouts can't be sent out," Cao Ping nodded and said, "Is it possible that the lieutenant Xie has to wait until the thief army has replenished his troops before attacking Puban?"
"But...but..." I still hesitate to solve the problem, "The lord is here to defend."
"Yes." Cao Ping did not deny it, but his face still had some disdain, "I am a man who speaks straightforwardly, please forgive me... I defend this place, and then what's the result? He lost his troops and generals?"
The eyebrows and eyes hopped up.
Cao Ping no longer said anything and waved to his personal soldiers.
Cao Ping's personal soldiers came forward and held a sword.
"Come on, Captain Jie, see, what is this?" Cao Ping said proudly at the sword.
After careful consideration, I immediately bowed, "Is this... it's the lord's sword?! I'm paying homage to the special envoy! How dare I ask the lord's police?"
"Hello, lord, police." Cao Ping just took out his sword to borrow momentum, and did not dare to really say that he was the special envoy sent by Cao Cao. After all, he came to solve the problem and did not receive Cao Cao's orders.
Anyway, I'll be outside or something...
Cao Ping has read military books for several days.
He did not say in person that he was a special envoy, nor did he ask for help in the name of the sword to do anything. He just asked the solution to see and think. It was like a mountain threesome, and he wanted to go if he was sick, but Cao Ping didn't say anything.
Cao Ping soon put away his sword again, and then pointed to the map and said: "The way Sima's thief fights is nothing more than a sneak attack with cavalry, disturbing the rear line, and rushing to the food route. Now that his cavalry is frustrated, his people are damaged, and there are no reinforcements. If he does not pursue it at this time, the root cause will be cut off. Could it be that he will wait for the thief to replenish his troops? How about it, does the lieutenant have the courage to go with someone? Take this great merit into his pocket?!"
What Cao Ping said is actually not very wrong.
After all, most of Sima Yi's style was like this before. He never fought head-on. He could ambush him, and he could attack him. This time, the pulling moves in the transit camp seemed to prove that Sima Yi's weak head-on combat ability.
In short, Cao Ping felt that Sima Yi did not dare to fight tough battles, did not dare to confront Cao's army head-on, and had been trying his best to avoid casualties. He felt that this was Sima Yi's biggest weakness.
After learning about Cao Ping's thoughts, he explained his thoughts for a moment and whispered: "But if we want to attack Puban County, we still lack staff..."
Cao Ping smiled, as if he was confident, "It's okay! If you work together, you can make a profit and lose money!"
Relieve the frown.
No matter how loud this slogan is, it may not be of any effect...
But Cao Ping's surname is Cao!
Cao Ping pointed at the map, "Is it possible that the thief army ambush us, and not that we ambush the thief army?"
My eyes lit up, "Duwei, what do you mean..."
Cao Ping nodded and said, "This time, I not only want to take over the head of Sima's little thief, but also take over Pubanjin! Openly open the way for the Lord and make new achievements!"
...
...
Puban County.
After Sima Yi returned, he also carefully reflected on it. He realized that the reason why he lost was because he was a little proud. As the battle entered a more intense confrontation, his opponents would also learn and grow. Fighting with Cao's army was different from the Hu people in the desert.
Cao's army reacted faster and changed faster. After realizing the suppression of the infantry by the archers, they immediately used the thunder cavalry to counterattack. If it weren't for the Great Yellow Crossbow general's move, Sima Yi would have been injured even if he hadn't died.
After achieving certain results, Sima Yi was still a little arrogant.
This is not only reflected in his treatment of the battlefield, but also in his treatment of his own brothers...
Of course, the point where smart people are powerful is that they will not fall in similar pits repeatedly. After suffering, Sima Yi wrote the battle report truthfully and in detail.
Sima Yi did not make any excuses for himself, but described the battle from Puban County to the present from the perspective of a bystander.
"When fighting, we should fight and keep our bodies undisturbed. Cao's army should use the fortification as a stand, and should guide them according to the situation and resolve their strategies. With the plan of exhausted troops, our army should wait for labor and accumulate strength."
"Yi defeated him, but he was cautious. He wanted to send his cavalry to attack him, cut off his food route, and slash his morale, but he did not expect that Cao's army was prepared and attacked with sudden cavalry and almost attacked him..."
"After this battle, I deeply felt that the soldiers were actually a clever way. Victory can be known but not spoken, and those who speak do not know. Someone uses food and grass as a plan, and Cao's army uses food and grass as bait to lead someone to the bait..."
"So, be careful when fighting."
Sima Yi finished writing the last few words, stared at "Shen" for a long time, finally sighed, put the battle report into a bamboo tube, and after adding fire paint, he sent it to the rear to save the archive.
Victory means victory, defeat means defeat.
Sima Yi won and had to admit his failure.
With such relatively objective summary and reflection, Sima Yi cheered up again.
His total casualties this time caught up with the previous sum.
The damage is not bad.
War is like gambling. No matter how much you win before, you may be able to output it in the last hand.
Just like Yuan Shao won most of the time in Jizhou before, and he had so many bargaining chips, he lost all his money in the fight with Cao Cao.
Therefore, Sima Yi deeply realized the cleverness of Fei Qian, the general of the Cavalry. Fei Qian cherished his military strength like a stingy person, and never took action without absolute certainty. Although it may waste some opportunities, it also avoided unnecessary damage. Whether it was attacking Guanzhong or entering Sichuan and Sichuan, it was not a strait war, but a selective battle, and no blind expansion of the army...
There is still a gap!
When Sima Yi was just sighing, he received a detection from a scout, saying that Cao's army made a big move and headed straight to Puban County!
Sima Yi frowned slightly.
This is a bit troublesome.
Not only is there a problem of the large number of wounded people and the shortage of soldiers, but there is also a big problem...
The fortifications in Puban County are not good.
The fortifications in Puban County have always been bad, so Sima Yi was unwilling to defend Puban County before, and would rather put the battle on the outside. Now that the troops are under loss, if they continue to defend Puban County, it will not only be a problem of passive defense, but may also be blocked in Puban County and unable to move.
"Send more teams immediately to contact Hao Duwei, and order to return to the army immediately and look for fighter jets behind Cao's army! Go quickly!"
Sima Yi immediately issued the first order.
In order to create an opportunity for Sima Yi, Hao Zhao went to the near Zhongtiao Mountain Camp to go around in circles to make a feint attack. Now that Sima Yi has been ambushed, it means that Hao Zhao's feint attack has been seen through.
But even if you send more teams, you may not be able to contact Hao Zhao immediately.
Sima Yi still needs to find a way to solve the problem in front of him.
To defeat the invading Cao's army, the losses must be minimized.
Otherwise, let alone whether he can survive or not. If all the troops are lost, he can announce that he will withdraw from the battle sequence before replenishing...
Huo Nu, who had an arm hanging, came.
Huo Nu was originally seriously injured, and Sima Yi wanted to go to the rear to recuperate, but Huo Nu was unwilling to do so.
"The Cao army is coming, and Puban is hard to protect you. You should go to the rear to recover from your injuries!" Sima Yi said with a frown.
Huo Nu waved his intact arm, "I can still hold a knife and fight!"
『…』 Sima Yi was silent for a moment, 『Then let someone transfer the wounded soldiers to Emei Ridge. Cao's army came, but we didn't care about them!"
Huo Nu had high requirements for himself, but he did not demand other wounded soldiers and nodded in agreement.
Transferring the wounded soldiers first did reduce some of the burden, but how to fight Cao's army next is still a problem...
『Fight to death!』 Although Huo Nu was injured, he was still very fierce.『Cao army dared to attack the city, so I would like to pull a few cushions!』
Sima Yi frowned and didn't say anything. He was recalling the summary of the battle report he had just handed in.
"What?" Seeing Sima Yi like this, Huo Nu asked, "Are you defeated once or you are scared?"
Sima Yi was not annoyed, but said, "I remembered some of the words my lord said..."
"What do you mean?" Huo Nu asked.
Sima Yi nodded and said, "The lord once said, "If you have people and lose your land, people can still gain it; if you have people and lose your land, it will also be difficult to defend it." This is the truth. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries had disputes, some had places the most important places, and some had people as the basis. If you have people and abandoned your land, even if you have lost a thousand miles of land, people's hearts and morale are excited, and you can restore it and build a country without losing the best strategy."
"On the contrary, if you lose people by keeping the land, even if you have a territory that has no one to protect it, it is like a void. The land is empty and desolate, without people to farm, and without soldiers to defend it. Even if there is a vast land, it will eventually be given to others... The lord used the four peoples to value people in Pingyang, which is exactly the same as this."
Huo Nu thought for a moment, "What I heard mean is... Are you going to abandon the county town?"
Sima Yi smiled, "Not only that, I am also ready to give up even Pubanjin..."
『Hmm?!』 Huo Nu was stunned, 『What do you mean? Tell me in detail!』
"What Puban wants is to enter Emei Ridge in the north and cross the river in the west. Now the river is melting and the ferry cannot be carried. This side is like a dead end..." Sima Yi stretched out his hand and waved in the air. "And we gathered soldiers and lived on Emei Ridge, and laid many flags. If we pretended to be suspicious soldiers, we could control Cao's army to go north... Therefore, if Cao's army got Jinjin in Puban County and saw that there were many flags on Emei Ridge, they would not dare to advance, and divided the troops and settled the city and wait for support."
『But if Cao's army really went north to the mountain," Huo Nu said, 『So what?
Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Cao's army is mainly infantry and moves slowly. If it really goes north, it's better to cross the road and greet it! Now that Cao's army is here with heavy troops, it will inevitably be empty afterwards! Cao's army thought we were newly defeated, lost our courage and lost our ambition, so we could only stick to the county and Tianjin... but we didn't know that there was a big flaw!"
