Chapter 432: First establish Yinping, then block the sword pavilion

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Anyone who can become a high-ranking official in this world must have practiced their voice.

Although Yang Fu is old, his voice is strong and powerful, lingering in the hall for a long time and unwilling to leave.

After listening to Yang Fu's advice, everyone in the hall had a look of curiosity on their faces.

When Cao Cao led his army to attack Hanzhong, although he also divided his troops, in order not to over-disperse his forces, the main force of the Wei army was still firmly in his hands.

But now it can be seen from Yang Fu's words that the three divisions of troops mentioned by Yang Fu all have their own strategic goals. This means that except for the main army led by Cao Zhen, the other two Wei armies are absolutely impossible.

not enough.

This was undoubtedly a breakthrough for the Wei army's long-standing military strategy, and in terms of tactics, it was undoubtedly an adventure.

But the word adventure is often linked to attractive profits, so at this moment everyone in the hall became more and more curious about Yang Fu's suggestions.

The troops are divided into three groups, how to divide them, and what strategic goals each group has. These are the keys to Yang Fu's strategy.

And if these key points cannot satisfy everyone in the palace, then Yang Fu's move of dividing the troops into three groups will definitely not pass this parliament.

Cao Zhen has been in high position for a long time, and he has already developed the ability to observe words and emotions.

From the looks on the faces of the Wei ministers in the palace, Cao Zhen could guess what they were thinking in their hearts.

So Cao Zhen motioned with his eyes to Yang Fu to continue.

Yang Fu, who was encouraged by Cao Zhen's eyes, raised his head to instruct Cao Zhen, then pointed at a map hanging high in the hall and asked Cao Zhen:

"Is the map of Hanzhong available to me?"

Of course, Cao Zhen would not refuse Yang Fu's request.

He smiled and nodded to Yang Fu.

After getting Cao Zhen's permission, Yang Fu walked to the hanging map in three steps and then used his fingers as a sword to slide on the map of Hanzhong.

The first place where Yang Fu's finger landed was Wudu County, which was beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"During the Battle of Hanzhong that year, General Cao Xiu of the Wei army led an army to defeat the enemy Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's troops. As a result, the enemy's plan to control the two counties of Wudu failed.

Although our army was defeated in Hanzhong and had to withdraw from Hanzhong, Emperor Wu had the foresight to move most of the people in Wudu County to Guanzhong in advance.

For this reason, after the rebels occupied Hanzhong, they did not lead their troops to enter Wudu County. Now Wudu County is only nominally owned by the rebels.

Wudu County is connected to Liangzhou and is located on the flank of Hanzhong. It has the advantage of being condescending and looking down at Hanzhong.

If our army can capture Wudu, it will not only be able to directly attack the hinterland of Hanzhong, but also frighten the rebels in Hanzhong.

The most important thing is that once Wudu County is captured by our army, the Yinping area of ​​Hanzhong will be directly exposed to the front of our army."

When he said this sentence, Yang Fu tapped his finger heavily on a place at the bottom of the map of Hanzhong, and that place was marked with the word Yinping.

Yang Fu's words and actions instantly caused everyone in the hall to breathe quickly.

Smuggling into Yinping was a feat of Deng Ai. Many people in later generations knew this, but this does not mean the importance of Yinping. Only Deng Ai discovered it in history.

As mentioned before, the Hanzhong defense line established by Zhuge Liang and Fazheng sent troops to focus on guarding Yinping.

Within the Wei army, as early as when Cao Cao was alive, he, as a master of military art, had already realized the importance of Yinping to Hanzhong.

Cao Cao had always been worried about the defeat of Hanzhong at the hands of Liu Bei when he was alive. He also revealed his intention to recapture Hanzhong many times in front of his close friends.

In Cao Cao's original vision, Yinping was the strategic pass that he must capture when he attacked Hanzhong.

Cao Cao never thought of hiding this idea, so under Cao Cao's influence, many ministers in Cao Wei knew that Yinping was a very important battleground for military strategists.

Because they knew this, when Yang Fu suggested that the Wei army had a chance to capture Yinping, everyone's breathing became rapid.

It was Cao Cao's last wish to capture Yinping and regain Hanzhong.

If they can fulfill this last wish under the leadership of Cao Zhen, then it will bring unimaginable benefits to everyone here, not to mention that Yinping is a necessary means to capture Hanzhong.

Yang Fu successfully mobilized the fighting spirit of everyone in the hall with his words.

After accomplishing this, Yang Fu then went on to explain the specific steps on how he wanted to complete this step.

"The Qiang and Di people in Wudu County are mixed. If our army wants to quickly capture Wudu County and attack Yinping, we must send a general with great reputation among the Qiang and Di people.

This person in Fu recommends the governor of Yongzhou."

Seeing that Yang Fu directly told Guo Huai to be the main general in the attack on Wudu County, everyone in the palace was a little surprised but not too surprised.

Yang Fu's reasons are very tenable, and it is reasonable in terms of position to let the governor of a state serve as the commander-in-chief of an army.

After recommending Guo Huai, Yang Fu went on to say: "General Guo Huai can lead 20,000 troops and his own troops to capture Bian from Didao in Liangzhou, and then continue north to capture Tazhong."

"The open terrain of Tazhong is conducive to the gathering of large armies. This can protect our army from sneak attacks by enemy troops. The second is that Tazhong is located upstream of Yinping. When the time is right, the Yongzhou governor can lead his army south to seize Yinping.

"

When Yang Fu expressed his strategy, his fingers did not stop.

With the map as proof and what Yang Fu said was very specific, when he finished explaining the arrangements for the West Route Army, everyone in the hall nodded involuntarily.

Not all the Wei ministers in the hall were familiar with military strategy, but no matter how they were not, Yang Fu explained it so clearly that everyone could easily tell the quality of Yang Fu's strategy.

Guo Huai couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw this.

Cao Zhen intended to reuse him, and now other ministers had no big objections to him becoming the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army under Yang Fu's advice. This made him feel relieved.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Yang Fu saw that most of the people in the hall agreed with his arrangements for the West Route Army, he turned to talk about his arrangements for the Central Route Army.

“Hanzhong is backed by Yizhou, so it can naturally receive a steady stream of troops, grain and grass assistance from Yizhou.

If you want to annihilate Mi Yang, you must first cut off Yizhou's support to Hanzhong.

Although most of the main force of the rebel army in Yizhou is now in Nanzhong, everything can be done in advance, otherwise it will be destroyed. Just in case, the goal of the Central Route Army is to capture Baishui."

Yang Fu tapped the white water on the map several times.

The hanging map was like a clear water rippling under the tapping of Yang Fu's fingers, and this rippling successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Baishui is a small county town located below Yinping. From an economic perspective, occupying Baishui is useless.

But from a strategic perspective, occupying Baishui is a must-win.

Because Baishui is located right in the middle of Yinping and Jiange, it has extraordinary strategic significance in Hanzhong.

As long as the Wei army can successfully occupy Baishui, even if Mi Yang wants to send troops to support after receiving news that Yinping is attacked, his troops will not be able to cross Baishui.

Baishui is located between mountains, and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, the Wei army's strength is far superior to that of Liangzhou army. Under such circumstances, no matter how powerful Mi Yang is, he cannot easily lead his army to cross Baishui.

Of course, if Baishui has this strategic significance, it is not enough for the Wei army to send a large army to occupy it. Baishui's more important significance is that he can threaten the flanks of Jiange.

Jiange is the most important pass between Yizhou and Hanzhong. In the past, Yizhou wanted to provide support to Hanzhong, mostly through Jiange.

Just like what Yang Fu said, assuming that Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong in time and led his army to support Hanzhong in a very short period of time, his support would definitely take the road from Jiange to Yangping Pass.

But once Zhuge Liang did that, the Han army, which was already weaker than the Wei army, would most likely be attacked from the rear by the Wei army.

This is a taboo for military strategists.

With this concern, Yizhou can be deterred by its strong strength, so that they will not dare to lead troops to support Hanzhong easily, thus bringing Hanzhong into a deadlock to the greatest extent possible.

This is the real reason why Yang Fuchian suggested that the Wei army should detach a middle army to attack Baishui.

"Fu, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, suggested that a hussar general be appointed and lead an army of 30,000 people."

Compared to the West Route Army's recommendation of Guo Huai as the general, Yang Fu recommended Cao Hong as the center commander, which made everyone in the palace have no objection.

Although Cao Hong was disliked by Cao Pi, his achievements and qualifications were so great that no one could despise him.

When Yang Fu said these words, it meant that he had finished explaining the strategy responsible for the Central Route Army.

Afterwards, everyone couldn't help but praise in their hearts.

In the past, Yang Fu had not shown his military strategy to everyone, but today Yang Fu opened everyone's eyes.

But what everyone doesn't know is that most of the strategies Yang Fu mentioned today were not thought up by himself.

Since Cao Zhen had already decided to go south nearly half a year ago, how could he possibly plan to discuss the strategy for the southward march today?

In fact, as early as the moment Cao Zhen returned to Chencang five months ago, Cao Zhen had already summoned many close friends to discuss the strategy for the coming southern expedition.

The progress of this matter was greatly increased after Cao Hong and Liu Ye joined Cao Zhen's group.

Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, and Liu Ye were the first-class people in the world who knew military strategy. With the combined efforts of the three of them, five months was enough for them to come up with a specific and effective strategy for the southern expedition.

The reason why Cao Zhen wanted to bring the southern expedition strategy that had been discussed for a long time back to the Great Council for discussion today.

This is because the Battle of the Southern Expedition was a large-scale battle involving a wide range of people. Only in this large-scale battle can Cao Zhen maximize the combat effectiveness of the Wei army.

Those who have the same understanding from above and below will be strong, and those who have the same desire from above and below will win. This is what Cao Zhen wants to do today.

After continuously explaining the strategies responsible for the West Route Army and the Middle Route Army, Yang Fu finally looked at Cao Zhen who was sitting at the top.

After bowing to Cao Zhen, Yang Fu continued to speak: "Although the West Route Army and the Middle Route Army have their own strategies, they are only separate armies after all. The main force of our army's southern expedition lies in the East Route Army."

"For the Eastern Route Army, Fu suggested that the general march into Hanzhong from Xiegu and Luogu respectively.

Xiegu and Luogu are both important roads between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, which are conducive to the passage of large armies. Passing through these two roads can ensure that the general can smoothly enter Hanzhong County."

"After the general's armies enter Hanzhong County, they can quickly join forces at a convenient place, and then divide their forces to attack the cities in Hanzhong."

"After the Battle of Hanzhong, Hanzhong's strength has not been restored, so the current defenses of the cities in Hanzhong are bound to not be strong.

The general's strength is far greater than that of the bandits. With this advantage, it is not difficult to capture the cities in Hanzhong with the general's military strategy.

The reason why we need to seize the cities in Hanzhong first is to allow our army to gain a firm foothold in Hanzhong, and secondly to make Mi Yang focus on one thing and lose another, and the morale of the rebel army will be in chaos.

After the general cleared all the cities in Hanzhong, he personally led the army to besiege Nanzheng.

The rebel army is isolated and helpless, and its morale is unstable. How can it withstand the general's offensive?

If you defend for a long time, you will lose. No matter how good the bandit is in fighting, he cannot change this."

When Yang Fu finished explaining the strategic objectives of the Central Route Army led by Cao Zhen, this time he did not get the approval of the group he had just explained twice.

On the contrary, hesitation appeared on the faces of many people in the hall.

Even if the Eastern Route Army, as the main force of the Wei army in the southern expedition, reaches 50,000 people, even if the leader of the Eastern Route Army is Cao Zhen, the number one general in Cao Wei today.

The reason for all this lies in one person, and that person is Mi Yang.

The reason why Yang Fu's previous strategic plan about the West Route Army and the East Route Army was approved by everyone was because of the strong strength displayed by his own side this time, and also because the two Wei armies faced not Mi Yang, but Mi Yang.

Yang's general.

The Wei people were afraid of Mi Yang, but they were not afraid of other Han generals.

But what everyone knows is that Mi Yang will definitely take charge of Nanzheng City himself.

There are a lot of 50,000 troops, and Cao Zhen is very capable, but will the Wei army successfully capture Nanzheng as Yang Fu said?

After hesitation, someone soon raised questions.

The man's question was: There must be some Han troops at Yangping Pass. What if when the Wei army besieged Nanzheng City, the Han troops at Yangping Pass returned to reinforce and the Han troops in Nanzheng City attacked the Wei troops from inside and outside, what would happen?

?

The question raised by this person was quickly echoed by most people in the hall.

The big reason why Yang Fu suggested that Cao Zhen march from Luo Valley and Xie Valley is that as long as the Wei army can successfully pass through these two ancient roads, they can directly reach Hanzhong County and cross the dangerous pass of Yangping Pass.

But crossing does not mean winning. Historically, Zhong Hui was worried about this after taking the same route, so he finally led the main force to attack Yangping Pass.

But in Yang Fugang's suggestion, he did not mention this point, which could not help but make those who knew the soldiers in the palace feel confused.

Being isolated and helpless is a taboo for military strategists, as is internal and external attack.

However, after someone raised this point, before Yang Fu could explain, a heavy cold snort sounded in the hall.

"If Mi Yang really dares to use troops like this, then he is not far from death."

The person who suddenly let out this cold snort was none other than Cao Hong, who had been silent just now. If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han Novel Search Network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
