Almost at the same time, in the Cao army camp in Hedong.
He was humble in front of Cao Cao.
He is a surrendered general.
Cao Cao originally didn't want to use the trick, or he didn't want to use it so quickly. After all, the trick was the cavalry, and there was a conflict with the cavalry generals in the Cao army. It was not that there were any conflicts in grudges, but that there would be problems in the distribution of war horses.
Is it still considered to be an appointment without giving a war horse? If you give a war horse, the resources of war horses that were not large were even tighter. Moreover, under the old Shandong system, it is easy to release military power, but difficult to take it back. Maybe it will cause big problems. Therefore, Cao Cao has always been very cautious about these foreign generals, and it is not necessary to release military power easily.
But now...
Qian Zhaozai listened carefully to all the information about Sima Yi, neither in a hurry to pat his chest nor to express it was difficult, but was thinking, as if he was measuring and considering something.
Cao Cao did not urge him to lead the move.
To be honest, Cao Cao now has much more understanding of cavalry than before, but he still feels that he has some flaws in this aspect. Cao Cao is a master of tactics and a very talented military talent, but he still can't help but feel a gap before facing the gap of the times.
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was undoubtedly the most gorgeous pearl in the crown.
The reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty and most of the vassal congresses that were limited to one place were dominated by infantry was mostly because the infantry was cheap and the battlefield was limited to defending and siegeing.
If you fight in the field, the difference in mobility will make the infantry very passive.
Lao Cao has now deeply understood this.
So he advanced step by step by step by step by building a camp, and the speed was naturally very slow.
Cao Cao really hoped that the cavalry could attack his camp so that he could play his advantage in infantry instead of following behind the horse's butt with two short legs.
The more cautious the striking, the more stable Cao Cao felt.
There are also flaws when we are forcing Linfen.
That's right, the food road.
Sima Yi obviously learned from his own knowledge and set his sights on Lao Cao's chrysanthemum...
Cao Cao had to focus his main energy on the front, and Sima Yi, who was on the flank, seemed very annoying and could not ignore it, especially after Sima Yi attacked a supply point in Cao's army, Sima Yi's harm became increasingly greater.
The key to cavalry is mobility.
So in the era of cold weapons, only cavalry can restrain cavalry.
I won’t talk about hot weapons. When facing machine guns, no soldier is easy to use, so I have to use guns.
In fact, it was not Fei Qian, the first to use cavalry tactics on a large scale, especially blitzkrieg tactics, but Xiang Yu.
In the Han Dynasty, there were also famous generals Huo Qubing who used blitzkrieg.
Huo Qubing was known for his speed in war. He went deep behind the enemy, wandering around and choosing the weakest part of the enemy to attack. Although the Huns were mainly cavalry, they had no advantage in facing the Han army, which was not at a disadvantage in speed but was well prepared. When the main force of the Huns arrived, the Han army had completed the interweaving and encirclement of some of its troops, and achieved greater and greater results.
This is the power of cavalry. Soldiers are very fast. If you are unexpected, you will be like a storm.
Of course, cavalry is not an omnipotent existence. Just like Cao Cao is now forming a hard camp, the troops forward carry a large number of baggage trucks for chariot formation, all of which are targeted adjustments to the corresponding tactics made by the cavalry cavalry.
"Prime Minister." Qianzhao thought and looked up at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded slightly, "Please speak."
When someone is needed, Cao Cao's attitude has always been very correct.
"At least eight hundred riders are needed, only the rider can overcome the rider in the wild." Qian Zhao said.
Cao Cao took a breath, "There is no eight hundred, only five hundred."
Qian Zhao said: "Then you can't capture and kill, you can only defeat."
『…』 Cao Cao thought about it again, 『It is okay to defeat it.』
Although Sima Yi killed the Cao and Xiahou people, Cao Cao still had to consider the entire battle situation and could not disperse his power too much.
"War horses, cavalry, armor, swords and guns, arrows, food and grass..." Qianzhao said one by one, "Especially horse clothes, they are indispensable."
"May." Cao Cao nodded.
He bowed his hand and said, "I should not let down the Prime Minister's entrustedness. If the Prime Minister is not at ease, I am willing to make a military order."
Cao Cao smiled and kindly came down to help Qianzhao up, patting Qianzhao's arm, "I can trust Zijing! Hahaha, now that Zijing takes action, why worry about taking the little thief? Hahaha, come here, get the military order..."
『…』Take.
...
...
Hedong is a magical land.
This is an early birthplace of Chinese civilization and an early core of Chinese civilization.
In ancient times, humans reproductive and reproductive here. It is said that the "flood" governed by Yao and Shun was the strange-tempered river in the east and west for thirty years.
This place was once the capital of the Zhou Dynasty and Jin State.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countless soldiers and horses died in the loess for the ownership of this area.
Nowadays, I don’t know how much blood will be coming to water the loess here.
As the late spring cold faded, the Hedong area seemed to start to bloom anxiously in order to grasp the hem of the spring mushroom's skirt.
In the early morning, the mist gently covered the fields like a veil, revealing a faint greenness in the hazy place.
As long as the trampled seedlings and burned villages are ignored, the scenery is still very beautiful.
The sun shines through the clouds and spreads on the earth.
All the plants around seem to be catching up on time to grow and welcome the warm sunshine.
On the hillside, there is a forest with some peaches and plums, and they are all colorful.
He waved his hand and motioned to the guard to get the map. Then he asked about the current distance from the Cao army's ration transfer camp, and directly ordered the troops to be stationed in this woods.
This strange order surprised many people, especially the deputy who was recruited and the deputy general assigned by Cao Cao.
"No, just stop here." Qianzhao looked at the bright and gorgeous flowers and responded lightly, "I am the main general."
『…』 Cao Ping, the deputy general of Cao army, gritted his teeth, 『Not only…』
Military orders are like mountains.
"General...that guy..." The guard who was holding the raid murmured in a low voice.
Holding the waves, waved his hand, "Don't say these things. Look at how good this flower blooms..."
The guards couldn't help but look at these messy flowers, "Uh, ah, it's pretty good..."
『It is only after the wind and frost that there will be such bright flowers...』 Qian Zhao whispered, 『It's just that... the spring is short, although the branches are full of flowers, the peaches are young and the plums are gentle, but... the good times are not always there, and the heroes are hard to regain...』
Qianzhao has studied books and studied with Liu Bei, but many people in Shandong think there are no scholars in the area of Youzhou.
The sound of pulling the move became lower and lower, and at the end, it was almost inaudible.
When Qianzhao led the cavalry formation again, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He likes to command cavalry, and he has some different emotions about cavalry.
Moreover, Qian Zhao was willing to command cavalry not to fight for military power, but to defend the frontier.
But Cao Cao obviously didn't want to believe him.
Wrong, Cao Cao didn't trust anyone, even his own brothers and children...
In history, like Tian Yu, Qian Zhao, both stopped at the middle and lower levels. Even the Three Kingdoms also wrote a sentence with some emotion, "Yu's position was stopped at the small prefecture, and Zhao finally ended up as the county magistrate, but it was not enough to do its best."
In fact, in history, not only Tian Yu and Qian Zhao were not valued, but most of those who have been guarding against foreign races in the north have not received high-ranking officials. For example, Cao Zhang has been guarding against foreign races in the north, conquering Wuwan, and surrendering Ke Bineng. Before Cao Cao died, he was a marquis, and he was only a general in the Central Army for many years. After Xiahou Yuan died in Hanzhong, he replaced Xiahou Yuan to guard Chang'an and advance to the position of General of Yue cavalry. Cao Zhang's title of Duke and King were granted by Cao Pi, and he died suddenly after being granted a year...
Let’s not discuss whether Cao Pi is suspicious about this matter. Just say that these people were recruited in the Three Kingdoms and devoted their entire lives to the frontiers of China. Perhaps because of political factors, but it must be confirmed that they are a group of people with a spirit of self-dedication and sacrifice. If these people were not available, the Five Barbarians might have happened earlier.
As for the alien races of Shu and Wu, to be honest, the alien races in the south are relatively weaker and it is difficult to break out of the southern part of Sichuan and Shu. Is the difficulty of the alien races in the north and south? It is like facing the big and bear Er in the north and facing the white elephant of monkeys in the south...
The strength of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms against the alien race was supported by Cao Zhang, Tian Yu, and those who were guarding the frontier.
Now that Qian Zhao surrendered to Cao Cao, although Cao Cao respected him on the surface, he used the kind name Qian Zhao to be called Qian Zhao, just like an old friend, and never put on airs, Qian Zhao knew that his identity was very sensitive, so he never took the initiative to fight for anything until Cao Cao summoned him.
In China, from ancient times to the present, many people have never had the opportunity to go to the front desk to receive the glory in their lives, but they have been silently dedicating all their lives.
On the contrary, people who often stand on the front desk are often filthy behind their backs.
Among the Cao army, the cavalry generals standing in front of the stage were Xiahou Yuan and the other was Cao Chun.
How many cavalry do Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun know?
It's hard to say, it can't say, it's not dare to say.
At least if it is someone else, there is not as much capital as they fail.
This is Shandong.
It’s not just Shandong, but from ancient times to the present, nothing like this.
...
...
Sima Yi's vision was undoubtedly vicious, and he focused on Cao Cao's military rations.
If Cao Hong had not lost at that time, he would probably have no worries in this regard now.
No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, once the food is out of stock, they will collapse without fighting.
Cao's army is now in short supply. If Sima Yi really cut off the food route and burned the few remaining food, then Cao's army might have immediately collapsed and the entire line collapsed. Therefore, Cao Cao must kill Sima Yi first, at least completely defeat Sima Yi, and then he has the opportunity to lead the cavalry again. Even if the number is not large, it is enough.
If the Yuncheng Basin is placed in the entire territory of China, it is very small, but for humans, it is already very large.
But it is so strange. Although a person will never use such a large piece of land in his life, his possessiveness of resources can far exceed the needs of individual humans.
In a swamp in the north of Zhangyang Chi, Sima Yi led Hao Zhao and others to hide here.
In the Han Dynasty, even in the Tang Dynasty, there were many swamps in China. Yunmeng Daze was really boundless, but in later generations, I could only see them in my dreams.
Hao Zhao grabbed his tongue and obtained some of the most core information about Cao Jun.
But this information also means high risks...
Hao Zhao is just as eager to make contributions as Sima Yi. When others see dangers, they see opportunities hidden in these dangers.
Moreover, after Sima Yi killed the Xiahou family of Cao, he naturally lost the room to buffer with Cao's army. So after Cao's army marched into Hedong, some people from the Sima family and some children of the Sima family were on the list of unlucky Hedong gentry.
In the Han Dynasty, Buddhism had just been introduced, and no one advocated any forgiveness or merits. Sima Yi killed the Xiahou family of the Cao family. Now Cao's army captured the Sima family's clan members and relatives, and just took action without a single word.
Although the main personnel of the Sima family were either in Chang'an or Linfen, the Sima family's industries in Hedong in the past few years, especially in the Yuncheng Basin, were basically destroyed by military disasters. Even though Sima Yi had already asked someone to evacuate in advance, some people were slow to move or were unwilling to leave.
When will the revenge be revenge?
Of course, it is necessary to eradicate the roots as soon as possible.
The Sima family's family's family finally accumulated in Hedong was destroyed.
Of course, Sima Yi had to count this account on Cao Cao.
If it can really destroy the Cao army's grain transfer area, then it can defeat the Cao army's last hope. Although the Cao army is still crowded and powerful, Sima Yi concluded that the Cao army was at the end of its strength and was far from as powerful as it seemed.
Hao Zhao and Sima Yi have the same opinions, but Hao Zhao also has his concerns.
Although this raid was successful, Hao Zhao also found that the arrangement of Cao's army had a characteristic, that is, the more the core the part, the more elite it was. The food and grass transfer point was definitely the core, and there would definitely be heavy troops to defend. It would be better to wait until the subsequent reinforcements of the Cavalry arrived before taking action.
Sima Yi felt that the opportunity should not be missed.
The key is that Sima Yi has grenades and tinder oil in his hand, so as long as he has a chance, he can rush to the edge of the food and grass transit point, and he doesn’t even have to break through the village wall. He can use a yellow crossbow to add range to the range, and burn all the food and grass in the transfer point!
The most important point is that Sima Yi is worried that the expiration date of the information is too short.
If the Cao army transferred the food and grass, or if the reinforcements of the Cavalry have already consumed all the food and grass reserves of the transit station, then the information will be wasted. Even if they go to conquer it again, it will be meaningless.
Now that Pusakatsu has made the ferry insurmountable due to the melting ice, on the one hand, more people can be drawn out, and on the other hand, even if it fails, there will be no big problems.
Therefore, Sima Yi decided to divide his troops into two groups, lure the enemy one by one, create a greater momentum to lure the attention of Cao's army. When Cao's army focused his attention in another direction, he directly raided the Cao's army's food and grass transfer camp and burned the food and grass hoarded by Cao's army!
...
...
Qianzhao took several personal guards to sit on the stone behind the woods.
Not far away from him, the deputy general Cao Ping sat with several Cao army soldiers.
Cao Ping held a piece of grass in his mouth and looked at Qianzhao with his eyes squinted.
The old classmate Cao was naturally the few elite cavalry left in the remaining Cao's army, that is, the cavalry unit that was originally left in the Central Leadership Army. Perhaps it was part of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in history, but for various reasons, there is no such domineering name now, and it is only considered to be Cao Cao's direct battalion.
Cao Ping glanced at Qianzhao's figure from time to time, with a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and the blades of grass trembled a few times.
The Central Leadership Army is considered the upper level of the pyramid among the Cao army. They usually walk sideways in the camp, but now they have to obey the command of a surrendered general...
If the old student Cao hadn't given a serious explanation and gave a death order, and personally gave a sword in front of everyone to encourage him, Cao Ping would not have been able to do anything like this.
A trick is a surrender.
Reduced general.
The one who bears the Lord.
Cao Ping couldn't help but feel unconcealed contempt for such unfaithful people. Although he did not show it on his face as much as possible, the arrogance that came from his bones could actually be felt by anyone.
Qian Zhao also disagreed with Cao Ping and others, but unlike Cao Ping, Qian Zhao did not despise Cao Ping's origin, but disdain for Cao Ping's inexplicable self-pride. In Qian Zhao's opinion, although these Cao army cavalry were strong and had good martial arts skills, they could be called elites, but they were still much worse than the real elite cavalry.
This is the standard in the hearts of a general who truly fights from the battlefield and understands cavalry tactics...
When Qianzhao was in Youzhou, he really fought with the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people. He understood that fighting with those Hu people was not as simple as Shandong people imagined. The real elite cavalry must have come from the desert, from the vast land, rather than between cities and schools in Shandong.
But Qianzhao had no better soldiers, so he could only make do with it. Qianzhao felt that he had only one chance, and he still took advantage of the cavalry leading the army and the inexplicable pride to defeat Sima Yi. If even the cavalry leading the army began to be scared, then there would be no need to fight...
Therefore, the choice of the trick is very simple, which is ambush.
It's like a wolf in the desert, hiding in the grass, waiting.
Moreover, for the sake of concealment, he even did not send scouts.
However, Cao Ping felt that it was wrong for Qianzhao to send scouts to travel outside. After saying it once, after being rejected by Qianzhao, Cao Ping did not mention it again. He just summoned his confidant and muttered to ask his confidant to write down the matter and let someone go back and report it to Cao Cao.
Even if you don’t send scouts, will you fight?
This kind of worry is not only Cao Ping, but also other leading military academies in Cao's army, so they naturally gathered together. Even though they were not very close to each other, they seemed to be muttering now.
The snoring trick not far away pushed the pussy on his face, and then it seemed to make a sound of snoring.
Cao Ping exchanged glances with other military academies and snorted at the same time.
"It's over now..." Cao Ping thought to himself, "Why didn't your lord reply yet... This is better than me to lead the team, maybe they are better than this guy!"
