I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 341 Predicted your prediction

Wu Guan, the prefect of the Wei army, was already hiding in the wheat field and shivering.

Gao Yuan, the governor of Yangping County, smiled and said to the people around him: "When I was a boy, I wanted to go to the frontier to make military exploits, but I was never able to do so. Now I finally have the opportunity!"

When the subordinates on the left and right saw that their leader was so happy, it was inevitable that they would say all kinds of good things.

Everyone went south happily, preparing to cross the Yellow River to kill Shu dogs.

As a result, I suddenly heard screams coming from the front.

Before he could recover, the Han cavalry had already come over to kill him.

"What happened!" Gao Yuan exclaimed.

"Master Fu, there is a group of people coming here to kill!"

Others not far away said that Gao Yuan had already seen it.

"General, what's our next move?" Guan Tong asked curiously.

The morale will definitely be high if you win this battle, and the more you fight, the higher your morale will be.

It seems that Sima Zhao was frightened and arranged the crossing of the Yellow River so far away.

"Going to have sex again?"

That night, all those who participated in the war during the day went to bed early, and the remaining ones who did not participate in the war took turns on duty.

"Go and have sex!"

"Yes, now that we have killed the Wei troops in Wei County and Yangping County, Yecheng's defense is empty. When Sima Zhao learns that we are going to visit Yin, he will definitely jump in." Li Heng said with a smile, "We just want to let Sima Zhao Zhao Tiaojiao."

At this time, Li Heng received news that Sima Zhao was crossing the Yellow River seventy miles away.

"Then shall we prepare for a decisive battle with Sima Zhao in Yecheng?"

When I came back, it was already dark.

The Wei army didn't even have time to react. The person at the front was pierced in the eye by the sharp spear of the Han army and picked up.

But the many days of marching really exhausted the Han army.

Although tired, it’s great!

This was his first time fighting this kind of battle.

After killing these two groups of Wei troops as quickly as possible, Li Heng recalled the infantry and cavalry participating in the battle today.

Even Gao Yuan, the governor of Yangping County, had no time to escape and was squeezed by the crowd. Finally, he was knocked down by the Han cavalry and drowned in the crowd, turning into a puddle of mud.

At the end of the afternoon, Li Heng received the battle report and was in a good mood.

The cavalry behind them pushed in frantically.

Guan Tong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The cavalry swept towards this side like a flood after a dike collapsed.

Those Wei soldiers were like wheat blown down by the wind this season, falling in rows.

"No, we will not fight Sima Zhao."

"Why?"

"There are two reasons: first, we don't know whether Sima Yi has dispatched reinforcements; second, Yecheng is too far away from Runan. We fought Sima Zhao, and even if we won, it would be a miserable victory. After the miserable victory, we might I can’t go back.”

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Let Sima Zhao think we are going to attack Yecheng."

Guan Tong was stunned, and the expression on his face slowly changed from surprise to shock, and finally he laughed again.

"I understand. By the time Sima Zhao arrives at Yecheng, we will actually have already moved south. No one in the Wei army south of the Yellow River can fight, so we can make a big fuss?"

Li Heng patted Guan Tong on the shoulder: "You are right. In order to confuse Sima Zhao, I need you to advance the cavalry from Dangyin to Yecheng, create panic, confuse Sima Zhao's judgment, and let Sima Zhao go regardless of all costs. When they rush to Yecheng, I will lead the infantry to go south overnight."

"No problem!" "Remember, don't be wary and don't engage in any direct combat with the Wei army. When Sima Zhao is about to arrive at Yecheng, he will turn around and go south. I guess that Sima Zhao will use suspicious soldiers and deliberately let one of his troops Expose yourself to your sight, attract you, and hold you back. No matter how weak the opponent looks, don't make a move. Your task is to attract Sima Zhao to Yecheng and then run away!

"I know! Even if it means military merit, there are a lot of military merit south of the Yellow River!" Guan Tong chuckled, showing his neat white teeth.

That night, Li Heng also had a good sleep.

In fact, this fourth crossing of the Yellow River tested not only the commander, but also the execution ability of the army.

This required intense marching.

Just as early as during the military training in Chongqing, Li Heng set high standards for marching.

This is also the reason why his lightning attack on Xiangyang was successful, and why he was able to withdraw immediately after attacking Nanyang.

Marching is the foundation of a strong army.

Of course, Li Heng is a materialist. He firmly believes that the human body is made of flesh, not iron.

If you want to increase the marching speed, in addition to strengthening ideological work, it is absolutely important to provide food for the army.

Previously, he engaged in an arms race with great fanfare in Xiangyang and provided extra food for the army.

That doesn't just confuse the enemy, it really strengthens the physical fitness of the soldiers.

Now when it is needed, it comes in handy.

On the morning of the eighth day of June, Sima Zhao returned to the north of the Yellow River again. At this time, he received news again: Yecheng soldiers and Yangping soldiers had been completely wiped out.

Sima Zhao was so angry that he cursed Wu Guan and Gao Yuan on the spot: "Stupid pigs!" idiot! The two of them combined to have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they were eaten by Li Jian in one day!
As if to prove to Sima Zhao that this was true, at this moment, Wu Guan came in embarrassment and met Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao drooped his eyelids and looked at the dodging Wu Guan with a dead fish eye.

"General, Shugou came too suddenly, we are completely..."

Sima Zhao went up and was about to kick him, but Chen Qian held him back.

Wu Guan quickly took several steps back.

"Come here! Come here!" Sima Zhao hissed.

Wu Guan could only go there honestly.

"General, calm down, general!" Chen Qian hugged Sima Zhao, fearing that he would really beat Wu Guan.

We all come from well-known families, and if you do something that loses face like this, it will affect your reputation.

In this era, reputation is political capital!

Sima Zhao blushed and cursed: "Li Jian has been marching for more than a month and is already exhausted. You didn't even last a day!"

After scolding, Sima Zhao seemed to have released a lot of accumulated emotions and slowly calmed down.

He stood there in silence.

After a while, he started laughing again, getting louder and louder, and finally threw his head up to the sky.

Chen Qian asked in astonishment: "Why is the general laughing?"

"I underestimated Li Jian before! Now that I know his tactics, he must have crossed the Yellow River south by now! If we cross over now, we will definitely be able to intercept him head-on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scouts rushed over.

"Report! Urgent report! The main force of the Shu army is going to Dangyin! The main force of the Shu army is going to Dangyin!"

Sima Zhao's expression suddenly changed: "What! Dang Yin!"

Li Jian still dares to continue going north!
"General, Li Jian is going to Yecheng!" Chen Qian became anxious.

Sima Zhao was stunned again. He stayed for a while before he came back to his senses and shouted quickly: "Quick! Gather your troops and follow me to Yecheng!"

If something went wrong in Yecheng, the Sima family's political future in the court would be basically gone.
