Chapter 2631: : Hangu Gate Keeper

Cao Cao stroked his beard. "The army of the Jin Kingdom is extremely rampant. With only 20,000 people, they dare to station outside Wancheng, forming a big deterrent to the defenders of Wancheng. If the army goes down like this, wouldn't the morale of our army be even worse."

"Not only the battlefield of Wuguan, if Gongda can capture Jizhou, the battle will be much easier for us." Cao Cao sighed.

Xun Yu didn't understand the truth. Although Lu Bu could not be regarded as a family in Jizhou, he had a certain understanding of the strength of the Jizhou army. When Lu Bu attacked Yizhou, he once mobilized the troops of Jizhou.

As long as the army is in the hands of Lu Bu, its role on the battlefield cannot be underestimated. At this point, Cao Cao's counsellors and generals have a clear understanding.

Lu Bu's prestige in the army is determined. If you want to defeat Lu Bu, you must defeat Lu Bu's Ajun. Only in this way can you succeed.

"The prime minister, after all, Jizhou has 30,000 defenders, and there are Xianbei cavalry in Jizhou. It is extremely difficult to gain an advantage in the battle against the Jizhou army." Xun Yu said.

"As long as Wen can make Hanoi stand firm, Ben Chan will send an army of 30,000, but Ben Chan wants to see if the Jizhou army dares to go out of the city to fight against our 50,000 army.

Xun Yu arched his hands: "The prime minister is wise."

The longer the war is delayed, the more disadvantaged it is for Cao Cao and Sun Quan. In particular, Cao Cao’s army has mobilized too much for this battle, and the consumption of food and grass is also extremely fast. If the two sides confront each other for years and months, Merely food is no small problem.

The people under Cao Cao’s rule were not like the people under Lü Bu’s rule. They did not have enough money and food in their hands. In ordinary times, it was a lucky thing for the people to be able to eat and wear. I am afraid that officials can only cultivate fields in the hands of their dreams.

The people more often exist in the situation of family tenant farmers. They cultivated the land for the family, and the rice they get can barely make ends meet. This is when the harvest is relatively good. If there is a disaster, many people will be on the verge of starvation. In a dead situation, at this time, in order to survive, they may borrow money from the family.

If the aristocratic family does not lend the people rice, it will be the most cruel to the people. Many people fall into the grass under such circumstances. This is also the reason why the ear buttons under the rule of the princes are difficult to clean up, as long as there is In the place of aristocratic family, there will be more poor people, there will be people who can't live, and the power of bandits will be strengthened.

Henan Yin, the capital of the former Han Dynasty, was located in the territory of Henan Yin, but Dong Zhuo’s original fire in Luoyang left the prosperous Luoyang City to be abandoned, and the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang City became thieves. Gathering place.

When Cao Ren guarded Henan Yin and Hongnong County, many of these bandits were attacked and divided, which dissipated a lot of the bandit forces. However, after the war in Henan Yin, the people were too poor, if Cao Cao had the courage of Lu Bu. It is definitely a different scenario to allow ordinary people to own fields, but Cao Cao will not offend a powerful family in this matter.

Cao Cao understands what can be done and what can’t be touched. There are thieves and purge, but after completely offending the family, there will be more things to lose. The chaotic Henan Yin wants to make it true. It is difficult to stabilize.

At least Henan Yin was in the hands of Cao Cao.

Henan Yin, as the most prosperous place in the old Han Dynasty, has a lot of fertile fields. However, when the bandits were rampant, these fertile fields gradually became barren. After the people in many villages worked hard to cultivate the fields, more rice The food fell into the hands of thieves.

But after the arrival of Cao Jun, these thieves converged a lot. Although Cao Ren does not guard Henan Yin now, he has left a lot of prestige among Henan Yin.

Pound and Li Ru led an army of 20,000 Liangzhou from Chang'an City and stayed at Hangu Pass for two days.

Hangu Pass was the main passage for the princes of the Guandong to enter Chang'an. As long as Hangu Pass was in their hands, it was basically impossible for the likes of Cao Cao and Sun Quan to break Chang'an.

The topography of Hangu Pass is unquestionable. The steep mountains on both sides provide a natural barrier for Hangu Pass. If you want to break Hangu Pass from the frontal battlefield, there is sufficient food and grass in the pass. Next, it is impossible to break through the Hangu Pass.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao's army has been guarding Henan Yin for many years and has never invaded Hangu Pass. Occupying Hangu Pass in his hands has a great effect on Cao Cao, and these Henan Yin generals naturally know it.

During his stay at Hangu Pass Li Ru replaced the guard at Hangu Pass with Niu Fu. When fighting in Yin in Henan, Hangu Pass was extremely important for the army to fight. If there is any mistake, if the army is fighting ahead, there is a mistake at Hangu Pass, which is equivalent to cutting off the army's food and grass.

This situation is extremely cruel to the army always, and Li Ru must make detailed plans in this regard. Let Niu Fu be stationed at Hangu Pass, Li Ru can rest assured.

"Military strategist, if the guard of Hangu Pass is changed without authorization, if the sage learns about it, will he be blamed?" Pound asked.

Li Ru smiled and said: "The general rest assured, before leaving, the officer had already informed the sage about this matter, and the sage has already promised."

Pound nodded when he heard the words, and replacing the guard at Hangu Pass with the general of the Liangzhou Army really made Pound more at ease. Niu Fu has a certain reputation in the army, and he is naturally not talking about guarding Hangu Pass. Down.

"Military strategist, now our army has reached Hangu Pass, in the opinion of strategists, how to attack Henan Yin is the most appropriate?" Pound asked.

"Look at the general, the current situation in Yin in Henan is extremely complicated. Bandits are rampant, and the main forces of the enemy are gathered around Mi County. If this is the case, the checkpoint cities around Luoyang must be empty, and the general only needs to lead troops there. , It is bound to be able to put down these cities in one fell swoop."

"After the city is settled, there is no need to anxiously lead troops to attack the enemy. The people in these cities can be completely stabilized, the surrounding bandits will be appeased, and the fields around the city will be promised to the people, so that the people can see what they can survive. Hope, in this case, the people will not easily betray the general." Li Rudao.
