Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 243 Pre-War Planning
"Brother, since they won't come, why don't we attack?" Han Sui said to Ma Teng.

Ever since Han Sui occupied Mayi, his heart swelled.Don't look at Mayi City as small, but it is much better than Han Sui's Jincheng.Moreover, this Mayi fight was also very easy, so Han Sui did not put Cao Jun in his eyes.

"Military officer, can this Heishi Pass be stormed?" Ma Teng asked Cheng Gongying, an officer beside him.

Don't underestimate this Cheng Gongying, although in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this Cheng Gongying did not leave any name.As we all know, Luo Guanzhong in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a Shu blow, and most of his pen and ink are used to describe the civil servants and generals of the Shu Kingdom.For people from other factions, most of them are taken in one stroke.

In the official history, this Cheng Gongying is not easy.His name is a compound surname, Chenggong, with a single English character.He served Han Sui first, then Ma Teng, and finally surrendered to Cao Cao when Ma Teng was defeated.Cao Cao once worshiped him as a military adviser to quell the Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou, and finally he was named a lieutenant.

This official position in the Three Kingdoms period was worthless, but the title was still very valuable. Cheng Gongying was able to be named a marquis by Cao Cao, which shows that this person has real skills.

Ma Teng asked Cheng Gongying for advice. After Cheng Gongying pondered for a while, he said to Ma Teng: "Heishi Pass can be attacked. Cao Cao's total force is only 70 million. We must guard against Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Li Chen. According to my opinion, he can use only about 20 troops. Now that Cao Ren is guarding Heishi Pass, I guess Cao Cao has seen that there are people behind us."

"Since Cao Cao has seen that there are people behind us, then he must be holding down soldiers and horses to guard against other people. I estimate that the number of troops in Cao Ren's hands may only be tens of thousands. If so, this Black Stone Pass can be taken Next." Cheng Gongying said to Ma Teng.

"That's right, if we can't take even a small Heishiguan, then how can we talk about plotting the world?" Beigong Boyu on the side also said.

At this time, Cheng Gongying walked to the side of the map and said to everyone: "His Royal Highness, look, Cao Jun is now defending Heishi Pass for a generation. Behind Heishi Pass is more than ten cities in Weidi. If you go further, it will be Fufeng City." .”

"Fufeng is a huge city. It is easy for us to attack Heishi Pass, but it is difficult to attack Fufeng. Now, the reason why Cao Ren is defending around Heishi Pass is to keep it. Behind Heishi Pass and in front of Fufeng City There are only a dozen counties."

"If we want to attack Heishi Pass, then we must attack fiercely, and Cao Jun cannot be given a chance to breathe. The walls of these dozen or so county towns are short and not conducive to defense. I estimate that as long as we attack Heishi Pass, Cao Jun will definitely abandon it. These dozens of county towns turned to rely on Fufeng City to stop our army."

"Brother, did you hear that? As long as we conquer Heishiguan, it is equivalent to picking up more than a dozen counties of Cao Wei for nothing. We have already made a lot of money by capturing three counties now, which is more than a dozen counties." "Han Sui said excitedly.

"Brother Han, it's better to listen to the military adviser first." Ma Teng waved to Han Sui, motioning him to sit down and listen to Cheng Gongying.

Due to various reasons such as the customs of Xiliang, most of the people in Xiliang are reckless and rough.There are very few people with brains like Cheng Gongying, and Ma Teng finally met one, so he naturally obeyed Cheng Gongying's words.

After Han Sui sat down, Cheng Gongying continued to say to the crowd: "After conquering Heishiguan, our goal is not these ten county towns. Our goal is Fufeng. Since Cao Ren defended Heishiguan for a generation, the strength of Fufeng must be emptiness."

"Once the Black Stone Pass is lost, Cao Ren will actually turn around and try to defend Fufeng. But most of Cao's army are infantry, and most of us are cavalry. Our marching speed should be much faster than Cao's army."

"So, what I mean is that after we take down Heishiguan, we don't care about the dozens of county towns. Let's go directly to the rear of Cao's army and take down Fufeng first. After we take down Fufeng, it is equivalent to blocking the way of this Cao's army."

"In this way, these Cao troops will be forced to stick to these dozens of county towns. When the time comes, once Cao's troops disperse, we will be able to encircle them one by one."

I have to say that this Cheng Gongying is really capable.If his strategy is true, it will be equivalent to distributing Cao Ren's army to various counties.In this way, they can be divided and wiped out.

However, Cheng Gongying didn't know that Cao Ren didn't come here by himself.Cao Ren also came with a military division, but of course the military division Cao Ren led was definitely not Guo Jia.If Guo Jia came, Cheng Gongying would not be enough for Guo Jia to calculate.

Who is the military advisor that Cao Ren brought with him? This person is Cheng Yu.Although Cheng Yu was not as good as Guo Jia, he was still considered a first-class military advisor.Cheng Yu's style of strategizing is exactly the same as Jia Xu's, and he also likes to use some poisonous tricks.

In the history of the previous life, when Cheng Yu was a military commander defending the city, when there was a lack of food in the city, he used to let the soldiers use human flesh to satisfy their hunger.It can be seen from this that Cheng Yu is a person who will use any means to achieve his goals.

As soon as Cheng Gongying said his plan, Ma Teng pondered for a moment and felt that the plan was feasible.After all, it was easier to force Cao Ren's troops into a dozen cities and divide them up than to force them to join forces in the high city of Fufeng.

Of course, this is just Cheng Gongying's plan.If you plan it, someone else will crack it.Cheng Yu is not a simple person, Cheng Gongying can think of it, so Cheng Yu can also think of it, maybe Cheng Yu has a more poisonous plan waiting for them.

At the same time, Black Stone Pass.

After Cao Ren came to Heishiguan, he immediately took over Cao Hong's military power.As Cao Wei's chief military officer in the north, Cao Hong first lost Wuwei County, and then lost Mayi and Liangcheng.Cao Hong was mainly responsible for this matter, so as soon as Cao Ren came, he took over Cao Hong's military power and beat him with thirty army sticks as a warning to others.

Cao Ren was much more experienced in marching and fighting than Cao Hong. As soon as he took over Heishi Pass, Cao Ren reinforced the defense of Heishi Pass many times, and re-arranged the defensive positions of soldiers on the city wall.

"General Cao, this Black Stone Pass is going to be lost after all, so there's no need for such a defense?" Military Adviser Cheng Yu said in Cao Ren's ear.

"It's true that the pass must be lost, but before I lose the pass, I have to let the Xiliang army know that our Cao army is a vegetarian." Cao Ren said firmly.

"However, is your plan really useful, military advisor?" Cao Ren said to Cheng Yu.

"Don't worry, general, I promise Ma Teng will leave tens of thousands of corpses outside Fufeng City." Cheng Yu said confidently.
