Chapter 241 Pre-war planning
"Brother, since they don't come, let's attack us?" Han Sui said to Ma Teng.
Since Han Sui occupied Mayi, his heart has expanded. Although he is not big, it is much better than Han Sui's Jincheng. Moreover, the battle between Mayi is also very easy, so Han Sui did not take Cao's army seriously.
"Military advisor, can this Black Stone Pass be attacked?" Ma Teng asked the military advisor Cheng Gongying on the side.
Don't underestimate this Cheng Gongying, although this Cheng Gongying did not leave any name in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. As we all know, Luo Guanzhong sat in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was a Shu blower. Most of his writings were used to describe the civil officials and military generals of Shu. Most of the people from other factions have been mentioned in one stroke.
In official history, this Cheng Gongying is not simple. His name is a double surname, Cheng Gong, and the single name is Ying. He first came from Han Sui and then served Ma Teng, and finally surrendered to Cao Cao when Ma Teng was defeated. Cao Cao once appointed him as a military advisor to quell the Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou, and finally he was granted the title of Liehou.
This official position during the Three Kingdoms period was not valuable, but the title was still very valuable. Cheng Gongying was able to be named the Minister of Legal by Cao Cao, which shows that this person has real skills.
Ma Teng asked for advice at Cheng Gongying. After Cheng Gongying pondered for a while, he said to Ma Teng: "Hei Shi Pass can attack it. Cao Cao's total troops are only 600,000 or 700,000. We must not only guard against Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, but also guard against Li Chen. According to my opinion, he can use only about 200,000 troops. Now Cao Ren is guarding Hei Shi Pass, I guess Cao Cao has seen that there are still people behind us."
"Since Cao Cao saw that there was someone behind us, he must have held the troops and horses in his hand to guard against others. I guess that Cao Ren's hand may only have tens of thousands of people. Since that's the case, this Black Stone Pass can be taken down." Cheng Gongying said to Ma Teng.
"That's right, if we can't even get a small Black Stone Pass, how can we plot against the world?" Beigong Boyu, who was standing beside him, was also saying.
At this time, Cheng Gongying walked to the map and said to everyone: "Your Highness Liang, look, Cao's army is now defending the Heishi Pass for a generation. Behind Heishi Pass are more than ten cities in Wei. If you go further, it is Fufeng City."
"Fufeng is a giant city. It is easy for us to fight Heishi Pass, but it is difficult to fight Fufeng. Now, the reason why Cao Ren defends in the area of Heishi Pass is simply to protect the dozens of county towns behind Heishi Pass and in front of Fufeng City."
"If we want to attack Heishi Pass, we must attack hard and not give Cao's army a chance to breathe. The walls of these dozen county towns are small and are not conducive to defense. I guess that as long as we attack Heishi Pass, the Cao army will definitely abandon these dozen county towns and rely on Fufeng City to block our army."
"Brother, have you heard it? As long as we set up Heishi Pass, it would be like picking up more than a dozen county towns in Cao Wei for free. Now we have made a lot of money to capture three county towns, which are more than a dozen county towns." Han Sui said excitedly.
"Brother Han, let's listen to the military advisor first." Ma Teng waved his hand at Han Sui and signaled him to sit down and listen to Cheng Gongying.
Because of the customs and customs of Xiliang and other aspects, most of the people in Xiliang are reckless and rough people. There are very few people who are smart like Xiang Cheng Gongying. Ma Teng finally met one, so he naturally obeyed Cheng Gongying's words.
After Han Sui sat down, Cheng Gongying continued to say to everyone: "After conquering the Hei Stone Pass, our goal is not these more than ten county towns. Our goal is Fufeng. Since Cao Ren is defending the Hei Stone Pass for the first generation, Fufeng's troops will inevitably be empty."
"When the Black Stone Pass was lost, Cao Ren would turn around and want to defend Fufeng. However, most of the Cao army were infantry, and most of us were cavalry. Our marching speed should be much faster than that of the Cao army."
"So, what I mean is that after we capture the Heishi Pass, we will ignore these dozen counties. Let's go around the rear of Cao's army and first capture Fufeng. After we capture Fufeng, it will be equivalent to blocking the way of Cao's army."
"In this way, these Cao troops are forced to defend these dozens of county towns. At that time, as soon as the Cao troops are dispersed, we can gradually encircle them one by one."
I have to say that Cheng Gongying is really capable. If his plan is true, it would be equivalent to dispersing Cao Ren's troops into various counties. In this way, it can be divided and annihilated.
However, Cheng Gongying didn't know that Cao Ren did not come here by himself. Cao Ren also brought the military advisor, of course the military advisor that Cao Ren brought was definitely not Guo Jia. If Guo Jia came, Cheng Gongying would not be enough for Guo Jia to plot.
Who is the military advisor brought by Cao Ren? This person is Cheng Yu. Although Cheng Yu is not as good as Guo Jia, he is also considered a top-notch military advisor. Cheng Yu's style of making suggestions is very much like Jia Xu, and he also likes to use some vicious tricks.
In the history of his previous life, when Cheng Yu was a military advisor to defend the city, when the city was short of food, he once asked soldiers to use human flesh to fill their hunger. This shows that Cheng Yu was a person who used any means to achieve his goal.
As soon as Cheng Gongying told him his plan, Ma Teng thought about it for a moment and thought that this plan was feasible. After all, it would be easier to force Cao Ren's troops into more than a dozen cities and divide them into annihilated them than to let them join the high city of Fufeng, which was a strong attack.
Of course, this is just Cheng Gongying's plan. If you plan, then someone else will crack it. Cheng Yu is not a waste of money. Cheng Gongying can think of it, so Cheng Yu can think of it. Perhaps Cheng Yu has a more toxic plan waiting for them.
At the same time, Black Stone Pass.
After Cao Ren arrived at Heishi Pass, he immediately took over Cao Hong's military power. As the military chief of Cao Wei in the north, Cao Hong first lost Wuwei County and Mayi and Liangcheng. Cao Hong was responsible for this matter, so when Cao Ren came, he took over Cao Hong's military power and beat him thirty military sticks to serve as a warning.
Cao Ren was much more experienced in marching and fighting than Cao Hong. After taking over Heishi Pass, Cao Ren strengthened the defense of Heishi Pass many times and newly arranged the positions for soldiers to defend on the city wall.
"General Cao, this Black Stone Pass is going to be lost. There is no need for such a defense?" Military advisor Cheng Yu said in Cao Ren's ear.
"The pass is to be thrown away, but before the pass is thrown away, I have to let the Xiliang army know that our Cao army has vegetarian pens." Cao Ren said firmly.
"But, military advisor, is your plan really useful?" Cao Ren said to Cheng Yu.
