Shuhan

Cao Zhen occupied Yong County and spent a day and night clearing out the remnants of the Han army who were stubbornly resisting in the city. Only then did he have time to go to the treasury in Yong County to check his loot.

As soon as you walked into the heavy treasury door, the first thing you saw was the mountains of grain and grass.

They were neatly stacked, and the bags of food were as continuous as majestic mountains. At a glance, there was almost no end in sight.

On the other side of the warehouse, military supplies were piled up.

Swords, guns, swords and halberds are shining brightly. Each of these weapons and equipment has been carefully crafted, revealing the ingenuity of the craftsmen.

"Good good!"

Cao Zhen patted the bags of grain and grass, cut the sacks with a knife, and revealed the golden wheat. He put a handful in his mouth and chewed hard.

The newly harvested wheat has a fragrant aroma. Although it is raw, it has a unique taste when eaten.

"With this food and grass, it will be enough for my army for several months, and the hope of regaining Guanzhong will be a little greater."

On the side, Peng Xuan also nodded.

"This is God's blessing for our Wei Dynasty. With this food, grass and weapons, Yong County is indestructible. When our army advances from east to west and regains Guanzhong, there is great potential!"

A smile appeared on Cao Zhen's face and he said: "Fei Yao has led 5,000 soldiers and is already on the road. Together with the more than 2,000 soldiers in the city, there are more than 7,000 people in total. With the supplies in the city, it will not be a problem to defend Yong County. "

When the enemy is exhausted from attacking the city, it's time for him to fight back.

"The top priority now is to knock down the Han army forts on both sides of Yong County!"

If you want to defend a city, it's not enough to defend one city alone. You also need to have surrounding fortresses and defenders to support each other, so that you can defend it for a long time.

"Leave this matter to the general and come here!"

Guo Huai immediately stepped forward to take the order.

"it is good!"

Cao Zhen nodded heavily and said: "Guard Yong County and cut off the supply of grain and grass to Ma Dai and Wang Ping's troops. Then the Han army guarding the Yumi defense line will have to retreat. When the enemy retreats, if the whole army attacks, the Han army will inevitably The losses were heavy, and if it could develop to the stage of chasing death and chasing the north, it could even take advantage of the situation to capture several cities in the Han Dynasty. "

"I hope it will be as the general said!"

Guo Huai immediately took the order and led his troops to attack the surrounding forts.

The forts around Yongxian County were not yet fully repaired. Yongxian County fell and the defender Liu Feng died in battle. There were not many defenders in the forts and the morale of a small number of the defenders was low.

Guo Huai led his army to attack, but in just one day, he defeated the two forts around Yong County.

At this time, Wang Ping led two thousand troops to the outside of Yong County.

"General, send troops to attack the city!"

With Yong County in sight, Ma Cheng couldn't help but attack the city.

Wang Ping looked at the towering city walls of Yong County, as well as the Wei army flags on the city and the densely packed Han army guards on the city, shook his head and said:

"Yong County is strong and the Wei army is on the defensive. Our army does not have enough troops to attack by force. There are two forts around Yong County. Take one of them and use it as a camp!"

Ever since.
The two camps Guo Huai captured were quickly captured by the Han army.

Both sides were very restrained. Wang Ping's fortress was not fully repaired. In order to prevent the Wei army from sneak attack, they had to spend several days to repair the fortress.

Cao Zhen's troops had already adopted a posture of long-term defense. Although they lost one fort, there was still a fort outside the city as support, so they were not in a hurry to attack Wang Ping.

After several days of stalemate, their respective reinforcements arrived.

Fei Yao led five thousand Wei troops and poured into Yong County, while Meng Da led the elite troops originally guarding Chencang to the outside of Yong County.

"Great, my king's army has arrived, it's time to attack Yong County."

Ma Cheng saluted Meng Da, with excitement on his face.

Cao Zhen gave Cao Zhen a sneak attack, and then his troops fell into a crisis. As a fledgling Ma Cheng, how could he not be anxious?
Meng Da was wearing heavy armor and stood like a steel giant.

The iron armor shone with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight, as if it were an indestructible barrier, protecting his body as solid as a mountain.

At this moment, Meng Da shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty asked me to lead troops here to surround Yong County, not to attack the city."

His Majesty?

"Is there an edict?" Meng Da nodded, looked at Wang Ping and Ma Cheng, and immediately took out the edict from the red plate held by the deputy general behind him.

Wang Ping and Ma Cheng looked at each other, stood up immediately, knelt down, and came out as if they were listening to the imperial edict.

Seeing that this etiquette was in place, Mengda opened his mouth and said:
"The edict said:
I am very concerned after hearing about the enemy situation in Yong County. Prime Minister Meng Da has been specially ordered to siege the city. Generals Wang Ping and Ma Cheng will obey his military orders and lead troops to encircle Yong County. They must seal the city tightly to prevent the Wei army in the city from breaking through.

However, you also need to remember that you are not allowed to attack the city without my will.

I hope you will put the overall situation first, fulfill your duties, and wait for the opportunity.

Anyone who disobeys the order will not be treated lightly.

Admire this! "

"The last general takes command!"

Although Ma Cheng was confused, the edict was here and he had to obey.

After Meng Da put away the edict, young Ma Cheng couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "How will Cao Zhen's troops transport food? If the logistics are not guaranteed, what will the generals in Yumi City eat and drink? What is your majesty's plan?" "

Meng Da glared at Ma Cheng. Seeing this, the latter's arrogance was a little restrained, but his chest was straightened out, and he was quite competitive in it.

It is true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

For Ma Chao's sake, Meng Da did not share the same knowledge as Ma Cheng, but said:

"Let me tell you the truth! Your Majesty ordered Zhang Bao to lead ten thousand elite cavalry to pass Yong County, leave Yumi, drive directly to the Wei army camp, and even take advantage of the situation to capture Longguan. After collecting the grain and grass baggage in the Wei army camp, Yumi Naturally, the city will not be short of food and logistics. By then, Yongxian County will become an isolated city. "

You take my food, I will take your food.

In the end, no one will be short of food in a short period of time.

But the situation is completely different.

The elite Han army is ready to respond at any time, but Cao Zhen's troops are only a few thousand people. With thousands of people in Yong County, what kind of trouble can they cause?
"This"

Even though Wang Ping had seen many big scenes, when he heard Meng Da's words, he was still so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Ma Cheng was breathing rapidly, his face was red, and his eyes were shining with admiration for Liu Chan.

"This is Your Majesty, and only Your Majesty can come up with such a plan!"

Mengda was not blindly confident.

"Your Majesty's strange plan will not be easy to succeed. We have a heavy burden on us."

Meng Da immediately analyzed the situation.

"I have four thousand people in my unit. How many of you do you have?"

Wang Ping immediately said: "Two thousand people, no. The remaining soldiers have been gathered in the past few days, there are 2,500 people."

"In other words, we only have more than 6,000 people. It will not be easy to surround Yong County. It may take half a month for the following army to arrive. Do you have any clever ideas?"

Wang Ping laughed, not anxious, and said: "We only need to stop most of Cao Zhen. A small number of people leave Yong County and it won't cause any waves. Besides, we don't transport food, so they can't help me." Wait for what?”

Perhaps Cao Zhen is still immersed in the joy of successfully stealing chickens, and now he is thinking about guarding one-third of an acre in Yong County.

Who would have thought that 10,000 Han cavalry were already rushing towards the Wei army camp.

Now we just need to stalemate with Cao Zhen's troops.

Just as Wang Ping's 2,000 people had been fighting against Cao Zhen in the past few days, Cao Zhen did not do much else but continued to strengthen the city's defenses.

Just reinforce it!

This is no longer a big deal.

By the time Cao Zhen, who was focused on strengthening the city's defenses, woke up, it was already too late.

By then.

The so-called strategic initiative has become strategic passivity.

The wise and mighty general of Wei State turned into a clown! (End of chapter)
