Chapter 273
"Do you marry the daughter of the Ma family for Pi'er..."
Cao Cao stroked his short hair and groaned silently.
After retreating to Liangzhou, the grain and grass needed and the supply of troops could only be supplied by the people of Liangzhou.
The attitude of the heroes in Liangzhou is very important.
Ma has been rooted in Liangzhou for many years and has a huge appeal, and the 7,000 Liangzhou cavalry is now the most important combat force.
In this situation, it is indeed imminent to marry the Ma family and turn the Ma family into a relative.
"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, this king will mention this marriage to Ma Mengqi, and appease him first. "
Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's proposal.
Guo Jia arched his hand and complimented: "The king is wise." "
Cao Cao patted Guo Jia and asked meaningfully: "Fengxiao, you give the king a secret, how sure are you that Xiao Yuan with this plan?"
Cao Cao was pitted too miserably by Xiao Yuan, and then developed a serious phobia of Xiao, although he used this strategy, he did not have the confidence to win.
"Since the king has concerns about his ministers, why should he adopt it?"
Guo Jia asked rhetorically.
Cao Cao sighed: "The situation has fallen to such a point, if you don't surprise, you can only wait for death, even if it is a small opportunity, this king can only give it a go." "
Guo Jia was slightly shocked, and immediately understood Cao Cao's distress.
After pondering for a while, Guo Jia said confidently: "As long as General Anton can defend the street pavilion, the minister's plan has a seventy percent chance of winning." "
"Seven achievements are enough. "
Cao Cao was relieved and said proudly: "This king believes that Zilian will be able to defend the street pavilion, and the rest will be handed over to the will of heaven!"
The next day, Cao Cao left Xu Huang behind, led thousands of men and horses into Tunluoyang, and disguised himself as the main army under his banner.
Cao Cao led the main army and traveled lightly to Anding County.
And Cao Hong led 10,000 elite soldiers to rush to the street pavilion day and night.
...
A few days later, the street pavilion south of the city.
Cao Hong commanded 10,000 Qin troops, and finally arrived.
"Huh~~"
Cao Hong restrained his war horse and looked at the street pavilion city in front of him, but his brows couldn't help frowning.
Although this street pavilion city has been built and the city walls have been thickened, it is still a small city with a big palm.
10,000 soldiers stationed in this city, I am afraid that it will be crowded enough.
Cao Hong did not lead his whole army into the city, but ordered the army to camp outside the city.
The soldiers came in a hurry, all of them were exhausted, and immediately set up camp and buried the pot to cook.
Li Dian of the rear army heard the news and rushed over.
"General Anton, since our army has arrived at the street pavilion, why don't you enter the city immediately, so as to deploy the city defense before the Han army arrives.~?"
Li Dian asked with a puzzled face.
Cao Hong waved his hand: "You don't need to ask more, just do what you order." "
Li Dian was speechless.
After the camp was completed, Cao Hong took more than ten horsemen out of the camp and went to inspect the terrain of the street pavilion.
Although Jieting City is located at the Longshan Road Crossing, it is a city after all, not a pass, and the terrain ahead is open.
Such terrain is suitable for the Han army to deploy and calmly besiege the city.
The dark clouds on Cao Hong's face gradually condensed.
Continue to look south, but see that south of the street pavilion, on the south side of the Longshan crossing, there is a broken mountain standing majestically.
The broken mountain is not connected with the Longshan mountain range, as if rising from the ground on the flat ground, obviously extraordinarily abrupt, the mountain is more than 100 feet high, and a stream and river pass in front of the mountain.
"The terrain of this broken mountain is quite steep, but there is a mountain name?"
Cao Hong asked.
"Back to General Anton, this broken mountain is called Jigu Cliff!"
The guide behind him replied.
Cao Hong looked at it carefully, and saw that the broken mountain was wide and narrow at the top, layered on top of each other, and it really looked like a pile of grain.
At that moment, he led his team to ride away and climbed the broken mountain.
Climbing to the top of the Jigu cliff, Cao Hong's eyes lit up.
I saw that the top of this cliff was unusually flat, there were no trees on the surface, all of them were earth and stones, and there were nearly 50 steps in a radius.
Such terrain is suitable for camping, and at least 10,000 horses can be set up.
Looking down from the top of the cliff, there are cliffs on three sides, south, west and east, and only a slope on the north side stretches along the small river in front of the mountain. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"The top of this valley cliff can be stationed tens of thousands, three cliffs, one slope, easy to defend and difficult to attack, its steepness is far better than the street pavilion. "
"If I put the army on this Jigu cliff, don't say that Liu Bei's army of 300,000, even if it is a million army, I will not want to break it. "
Cao Hong's mind flipped, and a bold plan was brewing in his heart.
But then I thought about it, this valley cliff is steep, but the fly in the ointment is that the only water source is under the north slope.
Once the Han army besieges the mountain and the water source is cut off, the 10,000-strong army will be defeated without a fight.
"Water, water..."
Cao Hong muttered to himself, and then ordered to carefully inspect the terrain of Jigu Cliff on all sides to see if there were any other water sources around.
In the evening, the soldier brought back a piece of news that made Cao Hong excited:
On the back of the mountain to the south, deep in the woods, there is also a hidden dark spring, enough for 10,000 soldiers.
Cao Hong was overjoyed, and immediately went down the Jigu Cliff, personally went to the back of the mountain, and inspected the dark water source.
After returning to the camp, Cao Hong announced to the generals:
The army of 10,000 was all stationed on the Jigu cliff.
The generals were taken aback.
Li Dian hurriedly said: "General Anton, the king ordered us to defend the street pavilion city, general, how can you disobey the king's edict?"
"General Li, you're too pedantic. "
Cao Hong glanced at him, "You are also a general, don't you know that the general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to the reason." "
Li Dian was stunned and couldn't help but be stunned.
Then he was puzzled: "'~ Even if the general is not subject to the king's order, but the general, you disobey the military order, so you have to have a reasonable explanation." "
"Although the city walls of Jieting City have been thickened, the city is too small, and it is too crowded to accommodate my 10,000 soldiers. "
"Even if the Han army can't break through the city, it only needs to attack the city with Xiangyang cannons and strong bows and crossbows, which is enough for us to drink a pot. "
On the other hand, the valley cliff is condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the top of the cliff can be tun 10,000 troops, and its steepness is far better than the street pavilion. "
"I believe that even if the King of Qin is here in person, he will inevitably choose to abandon the street pavilion and set up troops to accumulate valley cliffs. "
Cao Hongyang sprinkled and gave sufficient reasons.
"Having said that, the water source of the Jigu Cliff is at the bottom of the mountain, and once the Han army surrounds the mountain, we will be cut off from the water source. "
"As soon as the water source is cut off, no matter how dangerous the terrain is, the soldiers will be defeated without a fight. "
"Has General Anton ever thought about this?"
Li Dian thought about it thoughtfully, and immediately questioned again.
"What you are worried about, you would never have thought of. "
Cao Hong sneered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Ben Jiang has already seen that in addition to the water source of Ming (Qian Nuohao) in front of the mountain, there is also a dark spring on the back of the mountain. "
"Jigu Cliff is a cliff on three sides, even if the Han army surrounds the mountain, it will only seal the northern slope, and the other three sides will definitely not set up a camp. "
"So, they won't find it. "
"We only need to set up a side camp at the back of the mountain to protect the dark spring, and at night we will carry the water up to the top of the cliff with ropes, which will be enough for my 10,000 troops. "
"In this way, will we still be afraid of being surrounded by the Han army?"
Cao Hong had a smile on his face, a little smug.
Li Dian fell silent, unable to find any reason for a while, and then opposed Cao Hong's decision.
"But General Anton, the last general still thinks..."
"You don't have to say any more. "
Cao Hong waved his hand impatiently: "This general is the main general, and he is determined to settle troops to accumulate valley cliffs, and you only need to listen to the order, and if something goes wrong, this general will bear it!"
Li Dian was speechless, and there was nothing to say.
Cao Hong gave an order, and 10,000 Qin troops abandoned Jieting City and camped on the Jigu Cliff.
