To be honest, even though Fan Qin is teasing Xun Yu now, he was shocked when he guessed Xun Yu's plan. There was no problem with Xun Yu's strategy at all, and all the calculations were done. It can be said that he guessed When it came to that strategy, Fan Qin couldn't help but persuade Xun Yu!
As a result, Xun Yu never expected that Cao Cao would bury all his soldiers in the Xuzhou Plain at once, and all his plans became a joke.
"Does Uncle Huber have any good ideas?"
"There is nothing we can do to save the day." Fan Qin spread his hands and said helplessly, "There is no point in saying anything. Unless Yuan Benchu is willing to lend troops, otherwise we are no match for Lu Fengxian. This is no longer a matter of strategy, but purely a matter of strength. Yes. But Yuan Benchu..."
Xun Yu frowned. What conditions would Yuan Benchu put forward?
"If we defend the city, it's okay for a short time, but if it takes a long time, I don't think it can last too long." Fan Qin's expression of "I am really thinking about Cao Cao" made Xun Yu His face was slightly dissatisfied.
"Our biggest problem now is that we have no available troops. Unlike Yuan Jiujiu's infantry-based regiment, Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry makes it impossible for us to conduct field battles." Xun Yu said with a sigh.
Lu Bu doesn't have many troops, but the over 10,000 wolf cavalry are a fatal threat to Yanzhou. The other troops can block it with a little effort at most. But facing the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, do they have to give up most of Yanzhou's cities?
"It's not that we can't fight in the field, it's that the recruits can't fight in the field." Xi Zhicai walked in from the front with a dark face, "The 60,000 veterans are still there. With a little effort, we can surround and annihilate the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. As for now, the new soldiers can Will you not collapse in the face of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry’s tentative charge?”
"Zhicai, are you okay?" Xun Yu looked at Xi Zhicai and asked.
"You have to come down if you are sick. If you don't come down, only Chen Liu will be left in Yanzhou." Xi Zhicai said with a frown.
"Is there any good way?" Xun Yu asked with a sigh. He didn't hold out much hope.
"There is no good way. Block Lu Bu first. Our Yanzhou field soldiers can't fight, but they can still farm. In this case, we can spread ditches so that Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry can't take advantage of their speed. Drag them first, but This is not a solution." Xi Zhicai said with a wry smile, he has no other solution, he doesn't have many soldiers left, what do you want him to do?
"That's all we can do for now. It seems that we can only reduce Wancheng's troops, but if this happens, there will be loopholes in Nanyang's defense." Xun Yu sighed and said that the troops were stretched thin.
"Take your time and survive the joint efforts of Lu Bu and Chen Gong first, otherwise everything will be lost." Xi Zhicai said helplessly, "If it doesn't work, we can only rely on Yuan Benchu first. What a great situation!"
Xi Zhicai was quite angry now. Didn't he lie down for two months and not stay with Cao Cao for half a year? But this happened right after he came back. Xi Zhicai was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
With Xi Zhicai's understanding of Xun Yu, he naturally knew what Xun Yu's original thoughts were. As a result, no matter how many ideas he had now, they were of no value. Cao Cao succeeded in prodigal and gave away all the cards they planned to exchange for trump cards. The weapons and equipment, the veterans with combat experience and battle formation experience are all gone.
"I was careless about this." Xun Yu sighed.
"It's not a question of carelessness, but it's simply that we couldn't have imagined that we would lose completely. What happened to Gongda and Zhongde? There are more than 60,000 people. Although they are not at the elite level, they are all veterans. How could it be possible? A complete defeat! Not to mention the small victory over Liu Xuande, even if it is a defeat, it should not be a big defeat. Now this is a direct rout!" Xi Zhicai suppressed his anger and said, he couldn't understand that Cao Cao's army could be defeated when leaving Xuzhou.
"..." Xun Yu smiled bitterly. He couldn't understand this matter at all. Xun You and Cheng Yu were the masterminds, Zhao Yan was in charge of logistics, Cao Cao was the commander-in-chief, Xia Houyuan was the vanguard, Xia Houdun was the central army, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Mao Jie, Lu Qian, Shi Huan, Han Hao and others were minions, but they could be defeated to that extent. No matter what the strategy was, they should be able to prevent it, but how could this be possible?
"Forget it, let's not mention it. It's just a matter of eagerness for quick success." Xi Zhicai sighed and said, "I'll first find a way to slow down Lu Bu's progress. You can find a way to suppress the internal bombs, and by the way, summon the soldiers to strengthen training. , find a way to solve the food problem with the Wei family, this time is really troublesome, Wen Ruo, you also need to be prepared."
Xun Yu remained silent. This time he really made a mistake. While everyone else was prospering, Cao Cao was hit hard. The road ahead would be really difficult. Even if he was lucky enough to stop Lu Bu, he would have to recover to the time when his troops left Xuzhou. It is estimated that it would be impossible without the strength of one year or two.
After explaining to Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai left directly. He had no choice but to delay now. Every second counts. Whether he can withstand Lu Bu's attack depends on his arrangement. There are no soldiers available~
Cao Cao finally returned from Peixian, Yuzhou, but unfortunately before he could celebrate his escape, he had already learned about the current situation in Yanzhou from the rumors in Peixian, and most of Yanzhou had been taken away by Lu Bu.
This piece of news made Cao Cao dizzy, who had already suffered a lot of blows. Although it was just a rumor, he pieced together a complete conclusion from many versions of rumors, that is, Yanzhou was really in trouble.
In desperation, Cao Cao, who originally planned to divert to Shanyang County in Yanzhou and then return to Chenliu, ran towards Yingchuan in Yuzhou without hesitation, which was also his territory. He ran there and made plans after learning the real situation.
At the same time, the only son of Yuan Shu, who was born into a wealthy family, learned about the plague in Pei County. In order to help the victims like his father when he was young, he showed his heroic spirit and his people-friendly style, so he rushed to Pei County, Yuzhou with a group of guards. County, of course, I also brought a lot of medicinal materials, such as ginseng, deer antlers, bear bile, etc. I brought a cart full of supplements, ready to save people.
"Young Master, it's better that we don't go to Peixian County. The disease is rampant there. How can the noble Lord be able to go there." A guard stopped Yuan Yao who was really about to enter Peixian County and said.
"Hmph, don't worry. I have the inner energy passed down to me by Brother Bo Fu. I am strong now." Yuan Yao waved the sword and was very satisfied. Yuan Yao, who had always been sick, was very satisfied. I was extremely satisfied to be able to possess inner energy one day. Naturally, I was extremely satisfied with Sun Ce, who I had a lot of affection for. (To be continued.)
