Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial owner behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

Chapter 347: Let’s Repair the Plank Road and Secretly Cross Chen Cang!!

Cao Cao smiled and acquiesced to Pang Tong’s speculation.

Pang Tong suddenly realized and sighed: “It turns out that when His Majesty won a great victory in Xin’an, he had already laid out a plan to break the pass, and it should be a far-reaching plan.” ”

“Of course, this is not a far-reaching plan, or the prince reminded Xuan.”

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yuan with a smile.

Pang Tong’s expression was shocked, and only then did he understand that after Xin’an’s great victory that day, Cao Yuan whispered something to Cao Cao and said something.

After severely damaging Ma Chao that day, Cao Cao wanted to lead his army to chase after him and take Tongguan.

However, Cao Yuan pointed out that Tong Pass was strong and it was not easy to attack head-on, and persuaded Cao Cao to deliberately not pursue him, giving Ma Chao enough time to transfer troops from Pusaka Pass.

Later, they took advantage of the void to go north to Hedong and attack the pass from Pusaka Pass in one fell swoop.

“It turned out to be the prince’s plan, this plan should be really ingenious, and it is submissive.”

Pang Tong bowed to Cao Yuan.

All the generals lifted their spirits and looked at Cao Yuan with admiration.

“Your Majesty, Ma Chao’s fine work must be scattered around our army, monitoring the movements of our army at any time.”

“Although the prince’s plan is clever, I am afraid that as soon as our army is moved, Ma Chao will notice it, and what should be done if he increases troops in Pusaka Pass?”

Guo Jia raised concerns again.

Cao Cao’s brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze looked at Cao Yuan urgently.

Cao Yuan took a sip of wine and said unhurriedly: “Therefore, the key to the surprise attack on Pusaka is how to hide from Ma Chao’s eyes and ears and send a surprise soldier to Hedong quietly.” ”

“Prince, could it be that you already have the means to conceal Ma Chao’s purpose?”

Cao Cao saw the clue.

Cao Yuan smiled secretly, then unhurriedly explained his strategy.

Tongguan.

Ma Chao and his remnants of the Qin army, dragging their tired bodies, fled into Tongguan.

In the main hall, the candle flame flickered, and the breath was dead silent.

Ma Chao and the military generals of the advisers all looked gloomy, constantly shaking their heads and sighing.

In the First Battle of Xin’an, the Montenegrin Army was completely destroyed.

The main force of the 100,000 Qin army was lost by nearly half, and Wu Yi and other generals died in the chaotic army.

It was a veritable fiasco.

Moreover, this way back to Tongguan, countless military assets were abandoned, and the losses were immeasurable.

Ma Chao already had a hunch that after the news of this fiasco was sent back to Chang’an, his father Ma Teng would be shocked.

The army and people of the Qin State will surely panic the people.

“Zhang Yan!”

“It’s all this useless Montenegrin thief!”

“If he hadn’t fallen for Cao Yuan’s tricks, we would have been defeated to such a point!”

Ma Chao punched the case table, and the black cauldron of defeat was all pushed on the dead Zhang Yan.

Seeing this, Zhang Song and others took advantage of the situation and scolded Zhang Yan for being incompetent.

After all, the black pot is carried by dead people, which is better than Ma Chao blaming them for their incompetence.

“Unexpectedly, Wei Jun actually improved the crossbow and created a crossbow with twenty rounds of one crossbow!”

“It is not surprising that the Montenegrin army was defeated at the hands of the Wei army.”

Fa Zheng sighed.

There was silence in the hall, everyone’s faces were shadowed, and their eyebrows were full of jealousy.

“Everybody is down!”

“We still have 60,000 soldiers and horses available, and Tong Guan in hand, and we also rely on the three states as backup!”

“Even if we are defeated by Cao Thief, we will stick to Tong Pass in a big deal!”

Ma Chao saw that everyone was downcast, so he shouted inspiration.

The morale of the crowd was slightly boosted.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable.”

“The minister thinks that we immediately ask His Majesty to transfer troops and horses from the south of Pusaka Pass to Tongguan to strengthen defense.”

“We have Xiongguan in hand, and reinforcements can arrive in time, even if Cao Thief has an army of millions, what is he afraid of!”

Zhang Song took advantage of the situation to offer a plan.

The voice fell.

Fa Zheng questioned: “If reinforcements are transferred from Pusaka Pass, the strength of the troops on the Pusaka front will be reduced, then Cao Yuan is cunning, what if he offers Cao Cao a strategy of secretly crossing Chen Cang, sneaking up on my Pusaka Pass, and entering the pass from Hedong?” ”

“Filial piety is reasonable, this Cao Yuan, not to be underestimated.”

Ma Chao suffered a big loss, and did not dare to underestimate Cao Yuan by half a point.

“Then Cao Yuan may indeed use a secret crossing of Chen Cang.”

“But our meticulous eyes and ears are all around the Wei army, always monitoring the movement of Wei troops and horses.”

“If Cao Cao wants to attack Pusaka Pass, he will have at least 30,000 soldiers and horses, and our eyes and ears will immediately detect the deployment of soldiers and horses of this scale.”

“When we are introduced, we can’t send troops back to help Pusaka Pass, and why are we afraid that Zhang Song will not think so.”

Fa Zheng language plug.

The concern on Ma Chao’s face disappeared, and he said: “What Yongnian said is reasonable, Tongguan is important, first transfer the soldiers and horses of Pusaka Pass to help Tongguan, and then send more detailed works to Hongnong County to closely monitor the movements of the Wei army.” ”

“No!”

The courtiers took orders.

Ma Chao then sent people to Chang’an, asked Ma Teng to give an order, and quickly dispatched 20,000 soldiers and horses from Pusaka Pass to the south to Tongguan for reinforcement.

On the other hand, there were less than 6,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Pusaka Pass.

Hongnong County, Weiying.

Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow, cold and freezing.

The Wei army marched again, stepping on the snow to the west, towards Tongguan.

“Prince, this is really heaven help me, as soon as such a heavy snow falls, the river surface should always be frozen!”

Cao Cao’s happy gaze looked at Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan smiled lightly: “Erchen estimated that Ma Chao had almost transferred the soldiers and horses of Pusaka Pass to Tongguan.” ”

The voice fell.

Pang Tong rushed over and said joyfully: “Your Majesty, Crown Prince, Zhang Wenyuan has just sent back a secret report, Ma Teng has transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses from Pusaka Pass to the south, and the ice surface of the Yellow River on the line of Pusaka is now frozen!” ”

This news lifted Cao Cao’s spirits, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Cao Yuan sneered: “Father, everything is ready, it’s time to start.” ”

“Good!”

Cao Cao looked at the generals and asked, “Who is willing to lead an army to surprise the attack on Pusaka Pass?” ”

The generals’ blood boiled and they asked for battle.

“Father.”

Cao Yuan surrendered his hand: “This battle is related to whether we can successfully enter the pass, and the children are willing to personally lead the elite to go to the first battle.” ”

Cao Cao said cheerfully: “Okay, let the prince go out and lead the army directly to Pusaka Pass!” ”

“Sons and daughters!”

On the same day, Cao Yuan broke away from the camp and went to Shaancheng Ferry.

Four days later.

Hedong County, Anyi City.

Cao Yuan was already standing on this Hedong Zhi House, looking at the wind and snow ahead.

A few days earlier, Cao Yuan said goodbye to Cao Cao and led 800 Chimayi across the Yellow River to Hedong County.

Of course, Cao Yuan knew that if he made a large-scale deployment of troops, Ma Chao’s detailed work would definitely detect it and show Ma Chao a warning.

Therefore, he only took eight hundred essences to ride north to Hedong.

Cao Yuan naturally knew that with these eight hundred elite horses alone, it was naturally impossible to break through the Pusaka Pass.

At this moment, he was waiting for the surprise army to come to Anyi City to join him.
