Chapter 858 Yanzhou Army Attacks Bingzhou (9)
For them, after Changshan was occupied by them, there was only one Zhongshan country left in Jizhou. They didn't want to have another place in Jizhou, which is the territory of the Yanzhou army. This must be, they must have all wanted to occupy Jizhou. That's right, even Liangzhou army, they all had the same idea. But obviously, only after occupying Changshan, Cao Cao and they would say that they would think about it, this is, instead of thinking about the place in Zhongshan before they even took Changshan.
That won’t be, indeed. If it is said that the Yanzhou army will immediately seize Zhongshan and finally occupy Jizhou. In that case, Ma Chao and Liangzhou army will have to think about protecting the Zhen family, or at least say that they will move the family away. That’s it. For him, it’s not that Zhongshan Country is important, but just because there is the Zhen family. Not to mention that they are in Zhongshan, that place is important.
If they were in the most ordinary county, then the place would be the same as Ma Chao's attention. So for him, Zhongshan could indeed be lost, which was no big deal, but the Zhen family would definitely not be able to lose. This is Ma Chao's bottom line, even if he completely withdrew from Jizhou. Indeed, the latter is not a big deal, but the former is the Zhen family, he wants it.
It is strongly guaranteed, so Cao Cao knew that he would not fight the Liangzhou army so much, just for the Zhen family. He would probably not be able to do such a thing. For Cao Cao, he had to weigh the gains and losses of the Yanzhou army, which was definitely indispensable. For the Zhen family, if he felt that it would be better to touch them, then Cao Cao would not do that. Maybe he still wanted to take down Zhongshan, but what about the Zhen family? He was eager for them to leave. This is normal. After all, he was a traitor.
Xiong, but he would never let the Yanzhou army do whatever it was just because of the Zhen family. That would be impossible. Cao Cao said that he didn't have any impulsiveness, but indeed, there were not so many situations like that, right? Really. Most of the time, he was more cautious, that's right. So, Cao Cao was like that, not impulsive.
That's not to say he didn't have it, but it didn't always happen, right? So at this time, it was actually the same. Cao Cao didn't even think about attacking Jizhou again, even if there were the territory of Liangzhou army and the two counties (countries), this was indeed true. But he thought that if he fought in Jizhou again, it would be better to go to Bingzhou, even if Cao Cao was the same, he didn't have much confidence, but it was better to continue fighting.
Jizhou is stronger. He also has a choice for the Yanzhou army. That is right. He chose Bingzhou instead of continuing to fight Jizhou. So Cao Cao led his troops to Bingzhou. Now, that is actually right, yes. Even if the Yanzhou army was blocked at Huguan, is that important? Anyway, it is not the most important. If there is no Huguan in other places, it does not mean that other places are easier to capture. Cao Cao didn't think so, and he didn't think that way. Bingzhou Shangdang, from there, it's good, indeed.
Now, although it has not passed by Huguan, that's good, but Cao Cao and they don't regret coming here, that's true. For them, this is already pretty good now, at least the Liangzhou army has not arrived yet. Indeed, they are also soon, this is normal and will come soon, but Cao Cao and the Yanzhou army are not afraid of it. For them,
All of this was as expected. Even if we were defeated in the end and withdrew from Bingzhou, our side would have to make their Liangzhou army lose more. This has always been the idea of Cao Cao and Yanzhou army. We also know that it is not the previous battle in Jizhou, so here in Bingzhou and Huguan, it is indeed different from Anping and Julu in Jizhou before. Moreover, at that time, the Liangzhou army was short of people and horses, but now, they are not short of them.
Likewise, there are quite a lot of soldiers. Then they have long been short of troops. So when 100,000 people came to their side, they have to have so many troops. They have no advantage. Cao Cao has long thought of it. But no matter what, Cao Cao insists on advancing troops, and Bingzhou. There is no change in this, so he will bring troops. No matter what Liangzhou army is, Cao Cao/he has his own choice, that is right. No matter what his subordinates think, he also wants to attack Bingzhou. This is also right.
For Cao Cao and the Yanzhou Army, since they had moved their base camp to Yecheng, they must have shifted their focus to the north. This is correct. No matter whether it is temporary or longer, at least at this moment, that is true. This puts great pressure on the Liangzhou Army, and the Jiangdong Army is happy to see this. If the Yanzhou Army is about to go step by step
Following their own way. Although the Liangzhou Army was under great pressure, they would not be afraid of it. No, even Ma Chao was the same. He knew Cao Cao's idea. He didn't take the Jiangdong Army to attack Jingzhou, so he had to lead his troops to Bingzhou himself. That was enough to explain the problem, and there were a lot, too, really. But that was nothing big.
Yes, at least Ma Chao didn't think anything was there. For either of them, it was all "army came to block the generals, and water came to block the soil". No one was afraid, and they had their own countermeasures. That was. Cao Cao led the Yanzhou army to attack, and he thought about the war. Even if he was blocked in Huguan, he didn't expect it. Ma Chao's words, he actually thought that the Yanzhou army could not get any advantage in Huguan in Shangdang, Bingzhou. Then... Besides, it was Shangdang, Bingzhou, and a county was because of Huguan.
So it may seem more important. If not, then there is really nothing important. Of course, Shangdang occupies an important geographical location in Bingzhou. This is definitely true. It is both adjacent to Jizhou and Sili, which is indeed true. If Shangdang is really lost, then it can be said that the Yanzhou army can advance to Sili in another place, that must be true.
However, this is definitely not the most important thing for them. If you want to talk about the Huguan place, it is actually more important, but not. Of course, it is also divided into which county it is. If it is Shangdang, it may not be more important than Huguan. For the Yanzhou army, if they occupy Huguan, it will be quite meaningful to them. The key is that it is also
It's useful, this is. Indeed, just like the Yanzhou army is going to take over the entire Shangdang territory, Huguan is a place that cannot be avoided, or the world's majestic pass, this place blocks you, and you go northeast and southwest, that's not OK, that's right. So for the Yanzhou army, of course, it's also useful. At least one thing is right, that is, after they occupied Huguan, the Liangzhou army wanted to take back the world's majestic pass from them. The Yanzhou army had so much effort to seize the Liangzhou army. Of course, it was also
It won't be easy, it's true. But the current situation is not something that the Yanzhou army can take down if they want to take down the pass. Huguan is also famous all over the world. Yanzhou army wants to win the pass, but seeing that the Liangzhou army is about to arrive, Cao Cao/they do have an idea in their minds, knowing that when their men and horses come, they can't get down the Huguan anymore. There is no way, they can only be
There is a big battle with the Liangzhou army here, and both armies are fighting outside the pass. Although it is definitely impossible to avoid a big battle with the Liangzhou army, Cao Cao thought that no matter how he took Huguan, it would be better than not being able to take Huguan, but now, it is true that there is not so much hope, indeed. But even so, Cao Cao also led the Yanzhou army to fight outside Huguan. He wanted to win the pass before the Liangzhou army came. Even if there was such a glimmer of hope, he had to work hard.
No? To him, he has never been a person who gives up easily, and the Yanzhou army is like that. This is true. Of course, the Liangzhou army is like that, and Ma Chao is like that. Many times, he always thinks that he will defeat the other side and has an advantage, but that is not absolute. There are always times when it is different from what you think. In that case, it can only be said that he doesn't give up easily and has to work hard. Just like at this time, even if Cao Cao and Yanzhou army don't feel much hope, they just have to fail to arrive in Liangzhou army.
Before, we would not give up the strategy of Huguan, as long as there was still a glimmer of hope. For the Yanzhou army, they had to do it, and for the Liangzhou army, even if they were here, like the Yanzhou army and were in their position, they would still do it, which is normal. It is true that, Ma Chao and Cao Cao, they were both the same, thinking that they would not give up the slightest
Opportunity must be. Now Liangzhou Army is to seize the time to pass here, enter Bingzhou to Shangdang, and come to Huguan. This is what Ma Chao and the others think. Cao Cao/they are going to continue to attack Huguan and strive to win Huguan. In that case, even if the Liangzhou Army comes, they will have a little advantage to occupy it. This is correct, indeed.
But I can't seize Huguan, so when the Liangzhou army comes... anyway, both sides are not afraid of anything, so this is definitely correct. The Liangzhou army is waiting for a big battle with the Yanzhou army. If the Yanzhou army is thinking about seizing Huguan. This is the idea of the two armies, but the Liangzhou army thinks that their ideas will be realized immediately, but if the Yanzhou army comes, they can't see any hope. This is the difference between the two armies. Obviously, the Yanzhou army is not very superior. After all, the Huguan cannot be taken down, that is the problem. It is the other person who has the advantage.
It's not them. After all, the Yanzhou army is still attacking now, and the Liangzhou army is defending, so. The attack has no advantage, but the other person defends, so it is the advantage. So, the Liangzhou army is now the advantage, and the Yanzhou army is not the advantage, that's it. Whoever attacks will have to bear a lot of pressure. If the other person defends the city and has few people, it can block your 100,000 troops for a long time.
That's no problem. Of course, if you have fewer people, even if it's Huo Jun, you won't be able to hold it. How many days may you hold it? Who knows, if there are too many people, you can hold it, or if it's a long time, but if there is no one, then you don't have to think too much. Huo Jun's words will not work. He can be better than others, but if he wants to keep it, it's still a bit strong.
It's hard, yes. But it's already reached this point. The Yanzhou Army will definitely not say that it will retreat half a step, that is impossible at all. Even if Cao Cao has no confidence, it doesn't matter. It's true that it's absolutely impossible. No one can retreat. Whether it's their Yanzhou Army or Liangzhou Army, it won't be impossible. No one can, that's it. Whoever retreats, even if it's half a step, it's still recognized the other party. So the two armies would rather be defeated than say that they did so before they were defeated, that's not.
If you retreat, you will be defeated, you can't stand it anymore, you can't help it. That's it. If you retreat at that time, you will be defeated, and there is nothing else. If you want to lose, you have to retreat. If you retreat, you must retreat. If you lose, you must retreat. That's it. What are you waiting for if you don't return? If you lose, you will retreat. Otherwise, will you still have to retreat.
Wait until the entire army is wiped out? Isn't that kidding? Whether it is Ma Chao or Cao Cao, they will not say that they will let their side do that. Indeed, they will not be able to win. Whether you want to win or not is one aspect, and if you want to let your side be wiped out, it is not only a shameful problem. Your generals, more or less, have to blame you, and this will be some.
But do they say or not, and show it or not. This is also true. After all, when the lord is the boss, there are a few people who can wipe out their own troops. There is really no one. And Ma Chao and Cao Cao don’t do that. It’s definitely right. They don’t know. It’s not just a shame, there are other things. If you’re the boss, if there’s nothing unexpected happening, they won’t say that you’re wiped out their own troops. After all, that’s a bit dangerous.
That's definitely right, that's right. And if there is really a choice, no one wants to let his side do that. Indeed, if anyone is good, the entire army will be wiped out. That's really... Zhang Ji took his soldiers to defend with all his strength at the gate, but he didn't want too many soldiers from the gate to come up. And he brought the Liangzhou army's troops, which really blocked some of the opponent's troops. That's a
That's right, but it certainly won't play a decisive role, but it's very useful for defending passes, it's true, that's it.
