Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Xu You and Chen Qun also sighed.

At this moment, Cao Hong walked in from the outside: "Prime Minister, there is a man from outside the house who claims to have Sima Yi and has a plan to offer to the Prime Minister."

"Sima Yi?" Cao Cao raised his head and said, "Quickly invite him in."

"Yes."

Cao Hong took Sima Yi into the palace to meet Cao Cao.

Sima Yi knelt down opposite Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, if you lose again and again, it's a life-and-death moment. I don't know what the Prime Minister's plan is?"

Cao Cao has heard of Sima Yi's name, and it is rumored in the market that he has an extraordinary strategy.

And Sima Yi's hometown is in Luoyang.

It can also be regarded as the talents under his rule.

Cao Cao didn't answer Sima Yi's words, but instead asked, "Since you've come here, you must have a plan for me, why don't you tell me?"

"I obey." Sima Yi glanced at Chen Qun and Xu You, and said with a light smile, "In fact, the general trend of the world is already clear at a glance. Xu Ding is strong, and the princes are hard to beat. Within a year, Xu Ding will be able to calm the world. If the prime minister wants to make a comeback , need to lead the war to Bingzhou. Then lead the army to conquer Liangzhou, and then conquer Bashu and destroy Liu Zhang. With the danger of mountains and rivers, and Xu Ding, there is a slight chance of winning. But I don’t know if the prime minister still has confidence and courage .”

"You want me to capture Xiliang and Yizhou?" Cao Cao asked.

"Exactly."

Cao Cao said with a wry smile: "You see, I have [-] troops now, and my food and grass are almost exhausted. How can I make such a great achievement?"

Sima Yi said: "The prime minister is too modest. Since the prime minister raised his troops, he has almost won every battle except against Xu Ding. Although there are several warlords in Liangzhou, they are not on the same page and they are suspicious of each other. All we need to do is to use some small tricks. You can take it. Xichuan Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent, if the prime minister raises his troops to march south, it will be like a broken bamboo, how can Liu Zhang compete with the prime minister?"

"Furthermore, this is the only way for the prime minister to gain a foothold in the world, isn't it?"

Xu You cupped his hands and said, "What Zhong Da said is very true, the Prime Minister must not lose confidence."

Cao Cao got up and walked over, holding Sima Yi's hand: "Zhongda, I know you have the talent to save the country, would you like to help me?"

"If you don't have this heart, why would you come here?" Sima Yi bowed his hands and said, "I am willing to serve the prime minister, and I will be with you in life and death. I will never hide my words."

"it is good!"

Cao Cao gained Sima Yi's allegiance, regained some confidence, and said: "Let's regroup and go straight to Xiliang. We will compete with Xu Ding later!"

At this time Xu Ding led the army to Hanoi.

As expected by Guo Jia, officials and local soldiers in various counties in Hanoi County expressed their willingness to surrender when they heard that Xu Ding had arrived.This allowed Xu Dingbing to obtain Hanoi County without bloodshed.

Liu Bei crossed the Yellow River in the north, passed through Banpujin and Hedong, and headed for Lishi County.

If you cross Lishi County and go north, you will enter the hinterland of Bingzhou.

Xu Ding was anxious, and after discussing with Guo Jia, he led all the cavalry in pursuit, preparing to wipe out Liu Bei before he entered Bingzhou.

Liu Bei marched quickly.

In a few days, it traveled more than [-] miles across and entered Bingzhou.

When passing through Lishi County, [-] soldiers and horses were left behind to set up an ambush, prepared with enough fire oil and strong crossbows, and when Xu Ding's army arrived, they suddenly rushed out.The unprepared Huaxia Army was hit hard and suffered many casualties.

After solving the remaining enemies.

Xu Ding stationed in Lishi.

"I didn't expect Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to set up an ambush when they fled, causing some casualties to our army." Xu Dingchao Guo Jia said: "Feng Xiao, where is Liu Bei's army?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Liu Bei obviously knew that we would cross the Yellow River to intercept us, so he marched extremely fast. He has already passed Jianxing County, less than three hundred miles away from Taiyuan."

"Soldiers are precious and fast, Zhuge Liang is really extraordinary. Even the infantry can move so fast." Xu Ding put out a map.

Judging from the terrain of Bingzhou, Liu Bei hurried back to Taiyuan because he wanted to defend the capital Jinyang.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Guan Yu's Hebei field army is almost entirely in Jinyang. It is almost impossible for Liu Bei to win. In addition, we will rush to Taiyuan to help in a few days. Liu Bei will definitely lose." Guo Jia said.

"Feng Xiao, don't forget, we are facing Zhuge Liang! Zhuge Liang is good at deploying formations and has many strategies. I am worried that Guan Yu is not his opponent. In marching and fighting, the strength of the army and the number are secondary. Only strategy can determine victory. Negative." Xu Ding didn't want to waste time in Lishi, so he said to Dian Wei who was beside him, "Hurry up and send an order. After lunch, each battalion will set off and follow me straight to Taiyuan."

"promise."

Dian Wei walked out of the lobby.

Guo Jia said: "I am not worried that Liu Bei will defeat Guan Yu. With the strength of our army, once they gather in Taiyuan, Liu Bei will be defeated. It's just that Bingzhou is different from other states and counties. The Taihang Mountains cover thousands of miles and reach all counties. Once Liu Bei feels that, If it is difficult for him to win, he will retreat into the mountains. Then we will be defenseless."

"indeed."

This was also what Xu Ding was most worried about.

The tens of thousands of troops left by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are not too scary.

Sooner or later besieged to death.

Only the Taihang Mountain stretches across thousands of miles, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Back then Zhang Yan occupied it, and the imperial court failed to suppress it for several years, and repeatedly sent troops to Merge, Hebei, and You prefectures to be attacked.

Even a mere Zhang Yan can turn upside down, one can imagine how good the terrain of Taihang Mountain is.

Once Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered there, they would garrison troops in ambush.

There will never be peace in Hebei.

Xu Ding said: "Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang must not be allowed to enter Taihang Mountain."

"Your Majesty, I think this matter cannot be rushed."

"what?"

Guo Jiadao: "Although our current military strength is larger than that of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, if we want to guarantee victory in one battle, we also have to prevent them from fleeing into the Taihang Mountains. Defeated but not dead, he will go into the mountains soon, and it will be difficult to find him again."

"What do you suggest?"

Guo Jiadao: "I suggest that after going to Bingzhou, first station troops on the border of Jianxing and Xinle, and arrange an ambush on the outskirts of Taiyuan and the Taihang Mountains near Taiyuan. When the decisive battle with Zhuge Liang is made, let them come to join the battle, not only It can prevent Liu Bei from escaping, and can also take advantage of the situation to block the exit of Taihang Mountain to prevent Liu Bei from entering the mountain."

Chapter 825 Raiders of Bingzhou ([-])

Guo Jia's advice is excellent.

It's just that according to his vision, 10,000+ troops are needed to proceed.

Xu Ding thought about it.

Huang Zhong's Central Plains Field Army and Guan Yu's Hebei Field Army probably had nearly 10 soldiers.Cheng Yu, who is stationed in Youzhou, can also raise an army to fight in Taiyuan.
