Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 800

As the day of the expedition approached, the originally suppressed public opinion began to spread frantically towards the imperial court.Hesitant about the relationship between Liu Xie's disappearance for five years, Zhang Yang was not appointed as the prefect of Hanoi by Dong Zhuo, but he was the prefect of Yuan Shao.

To put it simply, regardless of whether the court agrees with it or not, anyway, he has established a separate regime there first.For the current imperial court, his status as the prefect of Hanoi is naturally not right, and his words are not right.

"It's just that I didn't expect that because the imperial court captured Xuzhou too quickly... Zhang Yang failed to send Yang Chou to the south to support him, and naturally he was not killed by Yang Chou, who was in command of a large army... Now he can still sit firmly in the position of Hanoi prefect and control Hanoi County The military and political power in this world, Zhang Yang in this world, is quite lucky." Wang Yong just finished reading the report, so he had to ask Dianjie about some historical information about Zhang Yang, and then he became emotional.

"Yang Chou's heart is for the court, and he could have used it, why didn't he tell Cao Cao?" Dianjie asked.

"I've decided not to meddle in other people's business, so naturally I can't continue to interfere. Especially Zhang Yang's life trajectory has changed. He was not captured by the Huns, nor was he rescued by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao claimed that he was the prefect of Hanoi, but Zhang Yang is not Yuan Shao's subordinate... ...In other words, the history I 'know' may not be applicable." Wang Yong replied.

"For us, the main ones worth paying attention to are Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Sun Wu. Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Ma Teng also have arrangements to pay attention to. Relatively speaking, small things like Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang really don't care too much. In fact, we don’t care too much about whether it follows history, as long as the main line follows the track.” Dianjie replied.

That is to say, whether Yang Chou will turn his heart to the court and rebel at the critical moment, even they have no guarantee.On the other hand, Hao Meng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng have put in more effort.

"So, it's better not to meddle in your own business at this time." Wang Yong smiled.

Speaking of both ends, under a lot of publicity, large troops began to cross the Yellow River and entered Hanoi County.Huai County, the seat of Hanoi County, is just north of the Yellow River. According to the distance in this world, it is about sixty miles.

"It is unlikely that we will pass today, but if we pass tomorrow, Zhang Yang will probably be prepared." Gan Ning, who escorted Cao Ang's troops into Hanoi County, reminded.

"The official news started three days ago. Even if it got to Zhang Yang, he would not be able to mobilize the army so quickly. These two days should be safe. Now there are still three hours before the half-hour of You hour. It is entirely possible to march four times in a hurry. Ten miles away." Cao Ang obviously had already made up his mind.

If the army approached within twenty miles, then Zhang Yang had no choice but to close the city and defend it if he wanted to form an formation outside the city.At that time, whether it is directly attacking the city, or encircling the point to fight for aid will do.

"Speaking of which, where is Zhang Yang's main force in Hanoi stationed?" Cao Ang looked at Cao Pi.

"In Shegou, about 150 miles northwest of Huai County, this part of the army may have received the news and come to Huai County to meet up." Cao Pi obviously had done his homework.

Just like the central army of the imperial court, it is also stationed in the garrison outside Xudu.It is impossible for Zhang Yang's large army to be stationed in the city, with tens of thousands of people gathered together, no matter how big Huai County is, there is no way to deploy it, let alone the inconvenience of daily exercises.

The key is that when the enemy comes to attack, especially the cavalry, it will be a problem to leave the city, and it will not be able to form a combat force at all.

"Is there any cavalry?" Cao Ang asked, a lot of information was reported to him by special intelligence personnel, and as the commander, he did not dare to neglect, and the information was also very clear.Asking now is more to see how my sister is doing her homework.

After all, if it really counts, Cao Pi has no experience of going out with the army, and it is good to have more experience.If she is really not suitable for marching and fighting, then it is necessary to write to her mother to let her take up civilian work.Anyway, the old Cao family is now a loyal minister of the great man, and there is no need for all members to join the army, as if they do not give others a chance to rise to the top and control the military power at the same time.

"In the past, He Jin ordered Zhang Yang to go to Bingzhou to recruit troops. Zhang Yang recruited three thousand light cavalry. The subsequent imperial court did not supply them. He supported these three thousand cavalry in each county, and almost consumed all the military expenses. In terms of infantry, only About two thousand soldiers, in terms of combat effectiveness... I guess it won't be much better." Cao Pi replied.

"General Cao, three thousand Qingqi, are you sure to defeat them?" Cao Ang nodded, then looked at Cao Xiu.Cao Xiu has [-] heavy cavalry under his command, which cannot reach the level of tiger and leopard cavalry, but they are considered elite.

Cao Xiu is a man of the ancient race, and one of the more capable men in the Cao clan.Since Cao Chun is a woman of the ancient species, Cao Cao is also worried about when she will collapse, so he has been training Cao Xiu as Cao Chun's successor.

"A group of mobs, nothing to worry about!" Cao Xiu also had his pride, and he really looked down on Zhang Yang's three thousand cavalry.

"Then get ready, if you encounter this cavalry during the march, defeat it!" Cao Ang ordered.

"Decree!" Cao Xiu immediately responded.

"It's almost time..." Cao Ang looked at the rear, and all the troops had disembarked and assembled.So he drew out the sword at his waist, pointed it forward, and shouted, "Follow me!"

"Let's go!" As other generals responded one after another, the large army set off and marched towards Huai County.

In the middle of the You hour, that is, around six o'clock in the evening, the large army had indeed traveled forty miles and marched down. The soldiers, except for the cavalry, were somewhat exhausted.

Cao Xiu's cavalry has two horses per person, one is used for transportation, and the other is a war horse in armor and charge.Although he walked forty miles, but because he was only walking slowly, his physical strength was still sufficient, and he could fully support one or two charges.

"Is there any trace of the enemy army?" Cao Ang shouted, scouts have been dispatched, and the first troops are cruising around here, and they can immediately report any disturbance in a radius of ten miles.

"I haven't seen any trace of the enemy yet!" The scout reported that from the north of the Yellow River to Huai County, it was almost a flat river, and it was not so easy to ambush.

"It seems that Zhang Yang has not been able to transfer the army from Shegou yet, and there are only two thousand defenders in Huai County. Let me see how he defends!" Cao Ang immediately clenched his fists, "Stand on the spot to rest, let the craftsmen Start assembling construction equipment."

This time going north, more than 50 pairs of long ladders, five ladder carts, two rush carts, five well rail carts, and more than ten pairs of catapults were prepared, which can be said to be luxurious.It's a pity that the thunderbolt car improved by the catapult has not yet been developed. This kind of heavy catapult basically cannot be moved and can only be assembled as a fixed fort.

"Be careful of Yuan Shao's reinforcements, although it is almost impossible..." Cao Ang ordered, on the eve of the battle, don't be sloppy.

As for the other counties in Hanoi, although they are nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yang, in fact he has no way of really controlling them.It is almost impossible to expect these counties to send troops to rescue.After defeating Zhang Yang, Cao Ang is still very confident!
