Guanzhong Plain.
It reaches Hangu Pass in the west, Tongguan in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and Weibei Mountain in the north.
The terrain is high in the west and low in the east, narrow in the west and wide in the east, with a length of about 300 kilometers from east to west.
Through the Weihe, Jinghe and Luohe rivers, the plains have been alluvial for thousands of years.
The terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, the climate is warm, and the agriculture is developed. It is known as "Eight Hundred Li Qinchuan".
Hongnong City in the central part of Guanzhong belongs to the Yuan family. On the side close to him, the use of the Guanzhong Plain is still in place, and Cao Cao has no conditions to farm in Guanzhong for the time being.
On this day, 80 miles west of Hongnong City, 200 miles away from Tongguan.
The Shence Army camped here today.
In the big tent of the Chinese army.
Yuan Tan, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu discussed the matter of attacking Tongguan.
After Cao Cao eliminated Ma Teng and Han Sui, he reorganized a cavalry force of 10,000, the tiger and leopard cavalry.
This made Yuan Tan extra cautious when marching. All the scouting horses were sent out to avoid sudden enemy cavalry assaults.
Going to Tongguan also became very slow.
"My lord, Cao Cao has already received the news of our army's westward expedition. The army is gathered in the Tongguan area." Guo Jia said.
Yuan Tan looked at the military map in front of him. The terrain in Guanzhong was flat and there was no danger to defend. He was most afraid of being ambushed by the enemy.
In fact, for the Shence Army, they are still very confident in attacking Cao Cao.
But marching all the way to Tongguan was the most difficult process.
"The latest information on the enemy's rear was three days ago?" Yuan Tan asked.
Jia Xu figured out what he meant, "Yes. However, the news about the horse inspection is continuous and timely, and Cao Cao has no intention of going out to fight."
Guo Jia said: "This also shows that Cao Cao's blockade of Tongguan is very strict, making it impossible for our spies behind the enemy to return."
Yuan Tan nodded.
Cao Cao's complete victory over Ma Teng and Han Sui is well known throughout the world, but the folk customs in Yongliang area are tough, especially the places previously controlled by Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.
These places must have greatly involved Cao Jun's energy during the transition period of the new ruler.
Being on the defensive is no surprise.
This allowed Yuan Tan to take a lot of initiative, but Cao Cao's combat effectiveness must not be underestimated like this.
If he can't win a big victory in Tongguan, or lose. Then Cao Cao will definitely not covet Guanzhong or the Eastern Expedition, but will go south to Xichuan.
The Yuan family could not contain Cao Cao's great development.
"Come to Ma Chao and Pang De. Let's ask more about the details of the Yongliang area. Maybe it will be the key to defeating Cao Cao."
Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other, feeling Yuan Tan's thorough consideration. Although these two men were the defeated generals of Cao Cao, they were the key figures in this Western Expedition.
Off the account.
Dian Wei came striding forward, "Old Xu, you can go to rest."
Xu Chu stretched his waist. For him, when defending Yuan Tan, time passed quickly. Instead, after taking a shift to rest, I don't know how to pass the day.
There was no inheritance handover today, so he waved his hand and left.
on the way.
Xu Chu also has his own soldiers, most of whom come from Xu's cottage.
Seeing his bored expression, Xu Zong said, "General, why don't you go hunting?"
"Hunting? Yes, I haven't hunted for a long time. But without rhubarb, hunting is meaningless. I don't know how the rhubarb is doing in the mountains. I turned around and followed the eldest son to calm the world. I must go to the mountains to find it for a while. sky."
As soon as Xu Chu finished speaking, his expression shook.
Xu Zong and the others looked at each other, what did the general think of?
Shaoqing.
Xu Chu sneakily appeared on the outskirts of the small warehouse. After scratching his head, he stopped being sneaky. Instead, he appeared boldly and approached the small warehouse.
"General." Yuan Tan's personal guards guarding here saluted together, no doubt about him.
Xu Chudun felt that his behavior was reliable, and went straight into the warehouse.
All you see are modern items, most of which are toiletries, tobacco and alcohol.
As a man, Xu Chu would definitely not steal anything, so Yuan Tan also asked them to be responsible for the safety of his small treasury.
When he saw the metal detector, his eyes lit up.
So he took advantage of his position, wrapped it in cloth, and took it away.
at the same time.
in Tongguan.
It is also an important line of defense for Cao Cao to resist Yuan Tan's attack.
On the Guancheng, the military flag fluttered.
The morale of Cao Jun's army is still very good, especially when he just defeated Ma Teng Han Sui, the overlord of Xiliang not long ago.
With the appearance of a large umbrella, Cao Cao also boarded the top of the city.
Cao Cao looked at the land of Guanzhong in the east, his expression was not happy or angry, but his eyes were very serious.
Such a good land, because of the Yuan family in the east, he has no conditions to cultivate it.
For him, it is very difficult to defeat the Yuan family and return to the Central Plains.
But going south will be much easier.
Cao Cao's strategic conception is also very clear. After defeating Yuan Tan here, he went south to Hanzhong.
Then you have to look forward to Shu.
In his opinion, Liu Zhang in Shuzhong is nothing more than a watchdog. Even if he has the natural danger of the difficult road to Shu, he is nothing to be afraid of.
As long as he wins the middle of Shu and connects the southwest, he will be able to grow into a huge force that will not lose to the Yuan family.
After experiencing the disastrous defeat in the Central Plains, it is possible to have such a strong prospect, and only a real hero can do it.
"Overlord Yuan Tan, hum..." Cao Cao laughed involuntarily after snorting coldly.
Suddenly a voice came from behind, it was Xun Yu, "My lord's words are true."
Yuan Tan is Xiang Yu, and Cao Cao is Liu Bang who was forced into Shu.
"As long as Army Division Sima succeeds in ambushing this time, Yuan Tan's food and supplies will be destroyed. My lord will come out here in full force. Yuan Tan has no food and the soldiers are hungry, and they will definitely lose."
He added: "This will give our army at least two years of stability."
Cao Cao agreed when he heard the words. For him, Sima Yi's action would be successful, because the ambush was hidden underground. Who will go underground to find ambushes?
Anyway, in Cao Cao's military career for so many years, let alone looking for it, he has fought so many battles, and such an idea has never appeared.
Therefore, when Sima Yi proposed this strategy, Cao Cao admired it very much and immediately put it into action.
Now it seems that because of his fast enough action, he is completely ahead of Yuan Tan.
"I don't know how Zhongda is going."
Cao Cao set up an arbor with his hands, followed the northwest wind, and looked eastward, hoping to see through.
That is, at the same time.
Twenty li to the north of Yuan Tan Daying.
Under a ladder in a terrain, Sima Yi was doing the final mobilization for war. In front of him were hundreds of officers.
There are many caves behind.
Guanzhong is an alluvial plain, with terraces of ancient river ruins and loess plateaus vertically and horizontally, and the terrain shows an asymmetrical step-like increase.
This makes digging less difficult and facilitates hiding.
In the coming day, I have to hide in the dark and lightless cave, which must be very difficult.
As a commander, you need to boost your morale.
These officers were his mouthpieces.
He looked at these officers and said: "Yuan Tan is here, don't make any noise, just endure for a day and you're done. At that time, we will be victors... Yuan Tan's reputation will be destroyed under your feet , everything about him will become your spoils of war, and your names will remain forever in the long river of history..."
"It only takes twelve hours..."
Sima Yi was impassioned.
The blood of the officers gradually boiled, and they would definitely control the soldiers under them and welcome a great victory.
At the same time, whispering.
"The enemy's horse detection has passed several waves, and they have not found us at all."
"I've also been searching for horses for several years. I always search on the ground. Who would have thought that it would be underground."
"Yes, yes, who will dig the ground to investigate."
Sima Yi looked up to the sky, "Yuan Tan, prepare to die."
