Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, I revealed to Liu Bei that I was a time traveler

Chapter 274

When Cao Hong moved to Jigu Cliff, the Han army was already twenty miles away.

Zhang He led 30,000 paces to ride, day and night, and finally crossed Longshan Road in the early morning of the next day and arrived at the street pavilion.

According to Zhang He's estimate, Cao Cao must have personally led a large army to the street pavilion.

But the news brought back by the scout surprised Zhang He.

Cao Cao did not personally lead the army to come, but only sent Cao Hong, leading more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the street pavilion.

What surprised him even more was that Cao Hong did not choose to stick to the street pavilion, but led 10,000 Qin soldiers to camp on the Jigu cliff south of the street pavilion.

Cao Hong's decision really made Zhang He puzzling.

An army of 30,000 took Jieting City without much effort.

Zhang He ascended to the south gate tower and looked at the Jigu cliff in the south.

In the field of vision, I saw that the camp on the top of the cliff was clearly flagped, and the smoke had risen, showing that the Qin army was burying the pot and cooking.

"Cao Hong's mansion is not guarded by the street pavilion city, but why did he abandon the city and go up the mountain?"

Zhang He muttered to himself, full of doubts.

Deng Ai beside him said: "General Zhang, according to the last general, this Cao Hong still has some talents." "

As a rapidly rising star in the Han army, Deng Ai has become the target of Lao Liu's key cultivation.

Therefore, this time to capture the street pavilion, Liu Bei took Zhang He as the main 940 general, and made Deng Ai his deputy general.

"What do you say?" Zhang He looked back at Deng Ai.

"General Zhang, please see, the location of this street pavilion city is not the Longshan road crossing, and the terrain is open on all sides, which is convenient for our army to camp and besiege. "

"And although the walls of this city have been thickened, the city is too small, and 10,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in it, which is too crowded. "

"In such a palm-sized place, our army can kill the Qin army as soon as the Xiangyang cannon passes. "

"Cao Hongruo's troops in the city, I am afraid that if I can't support it for a few days, I will collapse the army's morale and be easily broken by our army. "

Listening to Deng Ai's analysis, he couldn't help nodding.

Deng Ai's hand pointed to the southern valley cliff again.

"Look at the Jigu cliff again, grasp the Longshan crossing, more than 100 feet high, cliffs on three sides, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. "

And the last general guessed that the terrain on the top of this valley cliff is mostly flat and open, which is also conducive to the camping of soldiers. "

So after weighing the pros and cons, Cao Hong chose to camp on the Jigu Cliff. "

Deng Ai's words, Cao's motives were exposed.

Zhang He suddenly realized and praised: "Shizai, you are really wise and brave, no wonder the king and Xiao Cheng will respect you so much." "

Deng Ai smiled, busy (aebf) is humble.

"According to this, Cao Hong has also taken a wonderful move, we want to capture this Jigu Cliff before the arrival of the main force of the king, it is still a little difficult?"

Zhang He's brows furrowed.

Deng Ai sneered: "Although this Jigu Cliff is dangerous, it has a fatal flaw, we may be able to make the enemy army collapse without a single soldier." "

Zhang He perked up and hurriedly asked, "What kind of defects, Shizai tell me quickly." "

"Since ancient times, we have camped at the foot of the mountain, and water has been very important. "

"The water plain of this Jigu Cliff is a small river in front of the mountain, and if the Qin army wants to draw water, it has to go down the mountain. "

"We only need to surround the northern slope and cut off the Qin army's water intake road, and in a few days, the Qin army on the mountain will not be in chaos without a fight. "

Deng Aiyao pointed to the small river and made a plan.

Zhang He was suddenly woken up, and said happily: "Okay, good, according to what you said, let's immediately send troops to surround the mountain and cut off Cao Hong's water source!"

So Zhang He left 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the street pavilion, and personally stationed more than 25,000 Han troops on the northern slope of Jigu Cliff to cut off the water source of the Qin army.

At the same time, he sent an 800-mile fast horse to report the situation of the street pavilion to Liu Bei.

...

Seventy miles east of Jieting, Wangxian County.

Liu Bei led the main force of 270,000 troops, and was marching westward, just occupying this small city in the Longshan Mountains.

At nightfall.

Liu Beiwen had a pot of wine, and was just about to talk to Xiao Yuan about the strategy of pacifying Liangzhou.

Chen arrived inside and sent Zhang He's 800-mile express to Liu Bei.

"Prime Minister Changsu, you said that Ma Chao and Xu Huang's generals are all above Cao Hong. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Cao Cao doesn't use these two people to guard the street pavilion, but he actually uses Cao Hong as the main general?"

When Liu Bei saw that the enemy commander was Cao Hong, he couldn't help but look surprised.

"It's not surprising that Cao Cao started with the support of the clan, and at every critical moment, he also took the lead with the clan generals. "

"Street Pavilion is such a very important place, so it is natural that the most trusted clan generals should guard it. "

"Now Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan are all dead, and Cao Cao can only be the tallest of the short, and Cao Hong is used to guard the street pavilion. "

Xiao Yuan understated and pierced Cao Cao's weakness.

"Prime Minister Changsu is reasonable. "

Liu Bei nodded slightly and continued to report to the general.

Suddenly, his eyes gathered, and he said strangely: "Cao Hong didn't even guard the street pavilion, but stationed troops on the broken mountain in the south of the city?"

Xiao Yuan's expression moved.

Liu Bei's words evoked the historical memory in his heart.

"There was a detailed return before, after Cao Cao retreated to Longxi, he transferred the people's strength to deliberately thicken the Jieting City, isn't it just that he is preparing to use this city to block our army?"

"Why did this Cao Hong abandon the street pavilion city and move to the mountain?"

"Prime Minister Changsu, what kind of medicine do you say this Cao Hong sells in the gourd?"

Liu Bei's blank and puzzled gaze looked at Xiao Yuan.

"The king, didn't the minister tell the king, how did Zhuge Liang's first attack on the Central Plains fail in history?"

"Not really. "

Liu Bei shook his head, obviously a little puzzled, why Xiao Yuan suddenly mentioned this matter.

Xiao Yuan took a sip of wine, but said slowly: "Zhuge Liang was defeated in the street pavilion and lost, and he failed to block the Cao Wei iron cavalry led by Zhang He!"

Liu Bei's body was shocked, and he was immediately hooked with a strong interest, and hurriedly motioned for Xiao Yuan to continue.

At that time, Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Tan to lead the army to guard the street pavilion, block the Wei army's reinforcements from crossing Longshan, and buy time for him to settle the three new counties and completely take Liangzhou. "

Zhuge Liang specially confessed and ordered Ma Tan to stick to the Jieting City, but this Ma Jian was clever and let the Jieting City not guard, and he was also camped on the mountain south of the city. "

As a result, Zhang He's army successfully crossed Longshan, and after seeing Ma Jian go up the mountain, he decisively surrounded the mountain and cut off Ma Tan's water source. "

"The Shu army had no water, and within a few days it was in chaos without a fight, and Ma Tan was forced to go down the mountain to break through, and the result was that the whole army was annihilated. "

So the street pavilion was lost, and Cao Wei's army successfully entered the Longxi Plain, and Zhuge Liang could only give up a good situation and had no choice but to withdraw to Hanzhong. "

Xiao Yuan told Liu Bei about the battle of Jieting unhurriedly.

"It turns out that this Cao Hong is as stupid as Ma Yan, and he is actually stationed on the mountain!"

"That Zhang He Deng Ai and them, only cut off the source of Cao Hongshui, can't they easily destroy the Qin army and take the street pavilion like in history?"

Liu Bei, who suddenly realized, became more optimistic.

"The current situation, although it is very close to history, Zhang He is likely to be able to win the street pavilion. "

But to say that Cao Hong and Ma Tan are stupid, the minister does not dare to agree. "

Although Cao Hong is not a famous general, he is also experienced, and Ma Jian is quite wise. "

"The minister was thinking, why would such two people make the same mistake?"

Xiao Yuan's eyebrows swept up a little confused.
