Mi Han

Chapter 433
To become a high-ranking official in this world, one must have practiced their voices.

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

After listening to Yang Fu's suggestion, everyone in the hall showed curiosity on their faces.

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

But now from Yang Fu's words, we can see that the three armies that Yang Fu said had their own strategic goals. This means that apart from the main army led by Cao Zhen, it is absolutely impossible for the Wei armies of the other two armies to not enough.

This is undoubtedly a breakthrough for Wei Jun's long-term military strategy, and it is undoubtedly an adventure in terms of tactics.

But the word "adventure" is often associated with attractive income, so at this moment, everyone in the hall became more and more curious about Yang Fu's suggestion.

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

And if these key points cannot satisfy everyone in the hall, then Yang Fu's move to divide his troops into three groups will definitely fail to pass this meeting.

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

From the looks of the Wei officials in the hall, Cao Zhen guessed their inner thoughts.

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

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

"Map of Hanzhong, can I use it?"

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

He smiled and nodded to Yang Fu.

After obtaining Cao Zhen's permission, Yang Fu walked under the high-hanging map in three steps at a time, and then used his finger as a sword to slide continuously on the map of Hanzhong.

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

"During the Battle of Hanzhong that year, General Wei Cao Xiu led his army to defeat the enemy troops Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, and the enemy's plan to control the second county 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 occupying Hanzhong, the bandit army did not lead an army to enter Wudu County, and now Wudu County is only owned by the bandit army in name.

Wudu County is connected to Liangzhou, and is located on the flank of Hanzhong, so it has the advantage of looking down on Hanzhong from a high position.

If our army can capture Wudu, it will not only directly attack the hinterland of Hanzhong, but also make the bandit army in Hanzhong terrified.

The most important thing is that once Wudu County is taken by our army, the Yinping area in Hanzhong will be directly exposed to our army's front. "

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

Yang Fu's words and actions instantly made everyone in the hall become short of breath.

Smuggling to Yinping was Deng Ai's feat. Many people in later generations know this, but this does not mean the importance of Yinping. Only Deng Ai discovered it in history.

As mentioned earlier, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng set up the Hanzhong defense line, and some troops were sent to guard against Yinping.

As far as the Wei army is concerned, as early as Cao Cao was alive, as a master of the art of war, he had already realized the importance of Yinping to Hanzhong.

Regarding the defeat of Hanzhong by Liu Bei, Cao Cao has always been brooding when he was alive. He has also revealed his intention to retake Hanzhong in front of his confidants many times.

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

Cao Cao never wanted to hide this idea, so under the influence of Cao Cao, many ministers of Cao Wei knew that Yinping was a very important place for military strategists.

Knowing this, when Yang Fu suggested that Wei Jun had a chance to take Yinping, everyone's breaths were unavoidable.

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

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

Yang Fu successfully used his words to mobilize the fighting spirit of everyone in the hall.

After accomplishing this, Yang Fu went on to tell the specific steps of how he would complete this step.

"The people of Qiangdi in Wudu County are mixed, if our army wants to quickly take Wudu County and attack Yinping, we must send a general who has a great reputation among Qiangdi to go.

This man Fu recommended the governor of Yongzhou. "

Seeing that Yang Fu directly said that Guo Huai would be the general to attack Wudu County, everyone in the hall was slightly surprised but not too surprised.

Yang Fu's reasons are very tenable, and it is also reasonable from the position point of view to let the governor of Yizhou serve as the general of the other army.

After recommending Guo Huai, Yang Fu went on to say: "General Guo Huai can lead an army of [-] and his own troops to start from Di Dao in Liangzhou to capture Xiabian, and then continue northward to capture Tazhong."

"The open terrain of Dazhong is conducive to the gathering of large troops. This one can protect our army from the enemy's sneak attack. The second one is located in the upper reaches of Yinping. When the time is right, the governor of Yongzhou can lead his army south to seize Yinping. "

When Yang Fu spoke out the strategy in his mind, his fingers did not stop.

With the evidence of the map, and Yang Fu's words were very specific, so when he finished talking about the arrangement of the West Route Army, everyone in the hall nodded involuntarily.

Not all the Wei ministers in the hall are familiar with military strategy, but no matter how uninformed, Yang Fu has spoken so clearly, and everyone can easily distinguish whether Yang Fu's strategy is good or bad.

And Guo Huai couldn't help being overjoyed after seeing this scene.

Cao Zhen intends to reuse him, and now the other ministers have no objection to him becoming the leader of the West Route Army under Yang Fu's suggestion, which completely relieves the hanging heart in his heart.

Seeing that most of the people in the hall agreed with his arrangement for the West Route Army, Yang Fu turned to talk about his arrangement for the Central Route Army.

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

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

Although most of the main force of the bandit army in Yizhou is now in Nanzhong, everything can be established if it is foreseen, and it will be abandoned if it is not foreseen. Just in case, the goal of the Central Route Army is to capture Baishui. "

Yang Fu tapped heavily on the white water on the map a few times.

Under the tap of Yang Fu's fingers, the hanging map was like a wave of clear water, and this wave successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Baishui is a small county located below Yinping. From an economic point of view, occupying Baishui is useless.

But from a strategic point of view, occupying Baishui is an inevitable thing.

Because Baishui is exactly located in the middle of Yinping and Jiange, this gives Baishui an 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 the news that Yinping has been attacked, his troops will not be able to surpass Baishui.

Baishui is located among the mountains, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the strength of the Wei army is far higher than that of the Liangzhou army.

Of course, if Baishui has this strategic significance, it is not enough for the Wei army to dispatch a large army to occupy it. The more important significance of Baishui 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, but it was mostly done through Jiange.

As 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, then 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 by the Wei army from behind.

This is a taboo for military strategists.

With this concern, Yizhou can be deterred with strong strength, so that they dare not easily lead the army to support Hanzhong, so as to completely bring Hanzhong into a deadlock to the greatest extent.

This is the real reason why Yang Fu suggested that the Wei army would send out a central army to attack Baishui.

"Fu, the chief general of the Central Route Army, suggested that a Hussar General should be appointed and lead an army of [-]."

Compared with the recommendation of Guo Huai by the West Route Army, Yang Fu recommended Cao Hong as the leader of the Central Route Army, which made everyone in the hall have no objection.

Although Cao Hong was disliked by Cao Pi, no one can underestimate his achievements and qualifications.

When Yang Fu uttered these words, it meant that he had finished explaining the strategy of the Central Route Army.

Then everyone couldn't help admiring in their hearts.

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

It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that most of the strategies that Yang Fu said today were not his own ideas.

Since Cao Zhen had already decided on the southern expedition nearly half a year ago, how could he plan to discuss the strategy of the southern expedition today?

In fact, as early as the moment Cao Zhen returned to Chencang five months ago, Cao Zhen had already summoned many confidants to discuss the strategy of the Southern Expedition in the future.

And the progress of this matter has been greatly increased after Cao Hong and Liu Ye joined Cao Zhen's group.

Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, and Liu Ye are all world-class people who understand military strategy. With the joint efforts of the three of them, five months is 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 strategy of the Southern Expedition that he had discussed long ago to the Great Council was to discuss it again.

This is because the Battle of the Southern Expedition was a big battle involving a wide range of people. This big battle must be fully supported by people from all walks of life, so that Cao Zhen can maximize the combat effectiveness of the Wei army.

Those who share the same understanding are stronger, and those who share the same desire win. What Cao Zhen is going to do today is such a thing.

After continuously explaining the strategies of the West Route Army and the Center Route Army, Yang Fu finally turned his attention to Cao Zhen who was sitting at the top.

After paying homage to Cao Zhen, Yang Fu continued to speak: "Although the West Route Army and the Central Route Army have their own strategies, they are only other 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 generals should march from Xiegu and Luogu to Hanzhong.

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

"After the general's army enters Hanzhong County, they can quickly join forces at a convenient place, and then divide the troops to attack the cities of Hanzhong."

"After the Battle of Hanzhong, the power of Hanzhong has not been restored, so the defenses of the cities in Hanzhong are bound to be weak.

The general has far more troops than the bandit army. With this advantage, it is not difficult to capture the cities of Hanzhong with the general's military strategy.

The reason for capturing the cities of Hanzhong first is to allow our army to gain a firm foothold in Hanzhong, and second, to make Mi Yang lose sight of one and lose the other, and the rebel army's morale is in turmoil.

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

The bandit army is isolated and helpless, and the morale of the army is unstable. How can they resist the offensive of the general?

If you defend for a long time, you will lose, no matter how good the thief is, he can't change this point. "

When Yang Fu finished talking about the strategic goals of the Central Route Army led by Cao Zhen, this time he did not get the approval of the group that 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 1 people, even if the leader of the Eastern Route Army is Cao Zhen, the No. [-] general of Cao Wei today.

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

The reason why Yang Fu's strategic planning about the West Route Army and the East Route Army won the approval of everyone is because of the strong strength shown by his own side this time, and because the two Wei armies are not facing Mi Yang, but only Mi Yang. Yang's general.

Wei people are afraid of Mi Yang, but not other Han generals.

But everyone knows that Mi Yang will definitely sit in Nanzheng City himself.

There are many [-] troops, and Cao Zhen is very capable, but will the Wei army succeed in taking Nanzheng as Yang Fu said?

Under the hesitation, someone soon raised a question.

The man's question is: Yangping Pass will definitely have a part of the Han army. If when the Wei army besieged Nanzheng City, the Han army at Yangping Pass returned to aid and the Han army in Nanzheng City attacked the Wei army from inside and outside. ?
The question raised by this person was quickly echoed by most people in the hall.

The reason why Yang Fu suggested that Cao Zhen march from Luogu and Xiegu is that as long as the Wei army can 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. After Zhong Hui took the same route in history, he was worried about this, so he led the main force to attack Yangping Pass in the end.

But in Yang Fu's suggestion just now, he didn't mention this point, which can't help but make the people who know the soldiers in the palace feel confused.

Isolation and helplessness are taboos for military strategists, as are internal and external attacks.

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

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

The person who suddenly uttered this cold snort was Cao Hong who had been silent just now.
