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

Chapter 340 Let’s deliberately show weakness and lure Ma Chao out!!

Cao Cao’s spirits were lifted.

The generals also became excited, and their eyes converged on Cao Yuan.

Their Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is as resourceful as a god, is not exhausted in any time.

This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if he can have a clever plan and break the Montenegrin Army, then it must ~ be broken.

“Prince, what are your plans, come quickly.”

Cao Cao asked impatiently.

Cao Yuan was unhurried, so he explained his strategy to the end.

Cao Cao suddenly realized, and couldn’t help laughing: “Miao, the prince’s plan is very clever, and I will use your clever plan to break the Black Mountain Army!” ”

West of Tongguan.

On the avenue.

Countless Black Mountain iron horses are coming towards Guancheng in a steady stream.

On the city.

The soldiers of Xiliang, seeing such a new force coming to reinforce, all of them were in great spirits.

“I got 40,000 Black Mountain troops to help me fight, Cao Cao, I see how you still break my Tong Pass!”

Ma Chao looked down at the Montenegrin army and couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

Behind Pound and other generals, they all breathed a sigh of relief and had a great fighting spirit.

Zhang Yan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army, entered the city, climbed the city tower, and came to meet Ma Chao.

Ma Chao naturally praised and comforted Zhang Yan, and personally took Zhang Yan’s hand and returned to the military mansion.

In the main hall, a grand wine banquet has been arranged.

Ma Chao and Zhang Yan, pushing the cup and drinking, were happy.

“His Majesty has the grace of accepting his ministers, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also treats his ministers so kindly, and the ministers will definitely go to the soup for Daqin, and they will not give up!”

Zhang Yan threw up his hands and showed his loyalty.

Ma Chao was overjoyed, and it was another comfort to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yanjiu was half-drunk and said proudly: “Your Highness Shizi, my Black Mountain Army has arrived, although His Highness Shizi can rest assured that I will cut off the head of Cao Cao’s father and son for Shizi!” ”

Fa Zheng, Zhang Song and other advisers, seeing him looking down on Cao Cao and Cao Cao so much, they couldn’t help but look at each other, and their eyes were slightly uneasy.

Ma Chao coughed a few times, but said: “Cao Cao is not worried, but that Cao Yuan is treacherous, General Zhang, you still don’t underestimate that Cao Yuan.” ”

“My Montenegrin army has arrived, so what is the use of Cao Yuan’s deceit.”

Zhang Yan said disdainfully: “His Royal Highness Shizi will give an order, and the minister is willing to immediately lead the army to fight and destroy that Cao Yuan for His Highness!” ”

Zhang Yan was arrogant, but this courage to fight still made Ma Chao quite gratified.

However, Ma Chao did not lose sight of everything, and dared to lead his army out of the pass and fight Cao Cao.

Using Zhang Song’s strategy, he decided to give full play to the advantage of his large number of cavalry and send a large number of light cavalry to rob the Wei army’s grain and grass.

With an order, 40,000 Black Mountain Iron Horses poured out of their nests and rounded towards the hundreds of miles long Wei army grain road.

The Montenegrin Army was different from ordinary cavalry.

Ordinary cavalry, only good at fighting on the plains.

The Montenegrin Army was hidden in the Taihang Mountain Army for many years, and its cavalry could not only fight on flat ground, but also good at fighting in the mountains.

In just one month, the Montenegrin army continued to haunt the mountains and wilderness, launching raids on the grain roads of the Wei army again and again.

After the successful grain robbery, the Montenegrin army retreated into the mountains, leaving the Wei army unable to pursue.

Although the Wei state was not short of grain and grass, most of the military food needed had to be transported from Luoyang, west through Hangu Pass, through the narrow Hongnong County, and then to the front line of Tongguan.

Such a narrow grain road is convenient for the raids of the Montenegrin army.

500,000 grain and grass!

In just two months, the Wei army had nearly 500,000 grain and grass, which were burned by the Montenegrin army.

In order to protect the grain route, Cao Cao also tried to send Chi Ma Yi to protect the grain.

However, the number of Red Horse Righteous Consorts, after all, is limited and cannot be fortified everywhere.

The Montenegrin army, on the other hand, took advantage of its numbers and its ability to attack in the mountains, and appeared in the front line of Hongnong County, constantly raiding the Wei army’s grain team.

In the depths of winter, this confrontation in Tongguan seemed to gradually turn to a situation that was unfavorable to the Wei state.

Wei Ying, Imperial Tent.

“The day before yesterday, our army’s grain and grass in Shaancheng was looted by the Montenegrin army, and it lost 60,000 grain and grass.”

“Before dusk yesterday, our grain team was robbed on the Xin’an Line, 40,000 grain and grass were burned, and the grain protection team was killed and wounded.”

Cheng Yu read an urgent report that the grain sealing team had been robbed.

All the generals gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and all held their breath.

“Too much deception!”

“Over the years, only we have pressed the enemy to fight, how can we be bullied by the enemy army like this!”

Cao Ren scolded angrily.

Tai Shici also bowed his hand and said, “Your Majesty, we can’t let the Qin army attack like this!” ”

Although the generals were indignant, they were helpless.

Who let the Montenegrin army, unlike ordinary cavalry, be good at mountain combat.

This made Cao Cao unable to do it foolproof, no matter how many grain guards he sent: “Your Majesty, doesn’t His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a clever plan to break the enemy, let’s implement it quickly!” ”

Cao Ren hurried.

Cao Cao’s eyebrows furrowed and looked at his son.

Cao Yuan said unhurriedly: “If the son’s strategy wants to succeed, it is first necessary to lure all the Black Mountain Army to one place, annihilate one of them in one fell swoop, and complete the battle in one battle!” ”

“The prince is right.”

Cao Cao nodded repeatedly: “The Black Mountain army is haunted, and we must lead them to one place in order to annihilate them all, and only then can we completely solve the problem of our grain and grass being robbed.” ”

“Having said that, Na Ma Chao did not dare to fight a decisive battle with our army, so he would send Zhang Yan’s Black Mountain Army to rob our grain road.”

“What means can we have to lure the Montenegrin army out?”

Cao Ren questioned.

“Your Majesty, let’s force the city to go down, Ma Chao is afraid, naturally he does not dare to go out of the customs.”

“In the opinion of the ministers, why don’t we show weakness and take the initiative to withdraw our troops so that we can lure Ma Chao’s Montenegrin army out?”

Pang Tong offered a plan.

“Shi Yuan’s words are reasonable.”

Guo Jia also said: “Ma Teng is a self-defensive thief, but this Ma Chao is ambitious, he will not be satisfied with only holding the Tong Pass, if he sees the opportunity to defeat our army and recover the lost territory, he will definitely be led out.” ”

The southern offering of the two advisers made Cao Cao’s face cloudy.

“Prince, what do you think?”

Cao Yuan nodded slightly: “The sons and daughters think that it is feasible, but the only plan is to withdraw the troops quickly, so as to lure the Black Mountain Army out of Tongguan and gather and die!” ”

“Okay, just as you say!”

Cao Cao waved his hand gladly: “Pass on the will, the whole army will immediately pull up the camp, raise the banner of retreating, and withdraw in the direction of Luoyang!” ”

Order.

The 200,000 Wei generals immediately raised their camp and began to retreat to the east.
