As the sun sets and twilight falls, the people of Xuzhou City return home singing pastoral songs in harmony and tranquility.
Lin Ze stood at the top of the city, looking at them with cold eyes.
Next to him are Yueying Tuan warriors who have been qualitatively sublimated. Their aura is so strong that people dare not approach Sanshe.
With Jia Xu at his side, Huang Zhong recruited 300,000 troops in a short time and placed them under the city.
They are all waiting, waiting for what? Wait for an opportunity.
In the evening, the soldiers camped under the city, and Lin Ze and everyone practiced cross-legged exercises on the city.
The east was reddish, and the sun penetrated the clouds, filling the earth with light. Lin Ze finally received the battle report between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Zhang He defeated Xu Huang, and Cao Cao retreated to Chenliu.
When Lin Ze asked about the casualties on both sides, the scout said: "The army was defeated like a mountain, but they fled quickly and there were not many casualties."
Lin Ze looked back at Jia Xu and said, "Wen He, Zhang He's Euphorbia soldiers are Yuan Shao's elite, but Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers are definitely capable of fighting. This defeat is a bit strange."
Jia Xu smiled and said nothing, because what he knew, the lord must know.
Lin Ze looked at the sky. There were densely packed goshawks circling in the sky, drawing strange trajectories. These were all hawks trained by Lin Ze. In order to cope with the enemy's shooting of eagles, he had stopped letting the goshawks land. Whatever the enemy's formation, the goshawks would be what they were. formation.
Lin Ze whispered softly: "Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you have great ambitions, but joining forces with Yuan Shao is definitely a mistake. But you are really a character. You dare to take risks and put Yuan Shao's troops into the white horse. I want to see you. What other means are there?"
As soon as Lin Ze finished speaking, the scouts reported another shocking military report - Runan had been captured by refugees!
Lin Ze was very surprised when he heard the news. Xuchang and Shouchun were four hundred miles apart, with Runan in the middle. Neither Lin Ze nor Cao Cao wanted to take Runan, just to create a buffer zone between each other's forces.
The refugees captured Runan. Well, the refugees could indeed capture a city without defenders, but where did the refugees come from?
On Cao Cao's territory, all the refugees were incorporated by him.
Lin Zedao: "Order the Langya Group Army to capture Runan, establish a defense system, and let Ma Wu pay attention to Cao Cao's thousand Hongyi cannons!"
Huang Zhong's scouts were about to go out, Lin Ze said: "Gu Changjun, take your Tian team to deliver the news to Ma Wu. Once the news arrives, go to Cao Cao. If Cao Ren's team moves, blow up all his cannonballs."
Gu Changjun clasped his hands and said, "Wei!"
After speaking, Gu Changjun left with his heavenly team.
The Yueying Regiment has one hundred people and eighty male soldiers divided into eight teams, codenamed: "Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Mountain, and Ze."
The two teams of twenty female soldiers are the "yin and yang" teams.
Gu Changjun came to Ma Wu's team as quickly as possible and conveyed Lin Ze's order.
Ma Wu was already ready to go. After receiving the military order, he shouted to the team: "Brothers, let's go!"
The residual clouds and wind blew away, and all the troops in the county were gathered. The soldiers held bows and knives at their waists, and as Ma Wu set off northward, they hunted with banners in a mighty manner.
Ma Wu knew what Lin Ze meant. He wanted to switch defenses against Runan and completely push the territory under Cao Cao's feet. It was agreed that Runan would not be taken from either side and was robbed by the refugees. If Cao Cao doesn't fight you, then I will!
Ma Wu even knew that this group of refugees was probably Cao Cao's men and should not be underestimated. Cao Cao was a famous military strategist in the world.
Ma Wu also knew that he did not seek a quick victory in this battle, but must be stable. If he was defeated, his longevity would be in danger.
Ma Wu dispersed all his scouts and waited quietly on the front line.
The current situation was entirely caused by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not contact each other, but Xu You and Cheng Yu contacted each other.
There was no countermeasures at all. Cao Cao just acquiesced. Baima feigned defeat and put Yuan Shao's troops in. He would use up the Langya Group Army in Runan while Yuan Shao went to attack Xuzhou. Lin Ze was left to Yuan Shao to gnaw on. .
While waiting anxiously, Ma Wu finally waited for the scouts to come back. He was shocked by the news that the people of Runan had been captured. There were as many as 500,000 refugees in such a mess that the rhythm of the scouts was disrupted. This move It is to strike after the delay, and everything will inevitably lag behind.
Ma Wu was a little angry and said: "Isn't Ziwu on Cao Cao's side? Why can't he bring out any information? How can we fight? Is it a random fight?"
However, he quickly calmed down. After all, he was the first person to follow Lin Ze. He knew that the more critical the situation, the more calm he had to be. He listened carefully to the scout's report while examining the map. Soon, the situation of the so-called refugees began to change. Completely presented before his eyes.
These refugees are scattered in Qiao County, Suiyang, and Runan in a "pin" shape. With proper coordination, they can stop millions of troops.
Is this a quality that refugees have? Nonsense!
This absolute force is Cao Cao's elite.
Ma Wu had never seen this kind of defense system, but he had learned it from Lin Ze. He immediately divided his troops into three groups. He personally led one group to besiege Runan, and the other two groups ambush the reinforcements from Qiao County and Suiyang.
The classic tactic of encirclement and reinforcements.
The Mawu Langya Group Army was equipped with a thousand mortars and had to blow up Runan.
Lin Ze was assured of fighting in Ma Wu. His thinking was the same as his own, and he would not make mistakes. Cao Cao did not dare to do it openly. The whole army pressed against the Langya Army. Wei Yan in Wancheng would definitely steal his ass.
Lin Ze was staring at the map when Jia Xu came in and said, "My lord, there is a letter from Cao Cao. Please read it."
Lin Ze took it. Cao Cao's official script was very beautiful. After reading it, Lin Ze smiled and said: "Cao Cao said that he is no match for Yuan Shao. Zhang He led an army of 200,000 and marched straight in. I don't know where he went. Let us be careful, they may be heading towards our Xuzhou."
Jia Xu said: "If we bypass Runan and go straight to Shouchun, we will be in trouble."
Lin Ze held the letter from Cao Cao in his hand, blinked his eyes, and said: "This battle is not comfortable. If I have my temper, I will directly lead the troops to attack Yuan Shao's Yedu."
Jia Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "My lord, I have a plan to break up Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!"
When Jia Xu said this, Lin Ze always felt a little flustered, but he always wanted to listen.
Jia Xu said: "We are stationed in Xuzhou and ordered General Wei Yan to send 100,000 troops back to aid Shouchun to prevent us from letting Zhang He pass through."
When Jia Xu said this, Lin Ze thought it was a good strategy and asked, "Where are Wei Yan's remaining 100,000 people?"
"Of course we put on the armor of Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and went straight to Hebei to attack Yedu. No matter how smart Xu You and Cheng Yu were, they would never have imagined that we would use our troops like this!"
Lin Ze really admires Jia Xu. This is the best tactic to deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao now. Jia Xu really understands human nature, people's hearts, and the inertia of human thinking.
Lin Ze looked back at Liu Pei and said, "Tell General Wen Chang about Mr. Wen He's plan and ask him to wait for a few days. I will personally deliver the armor and weapons of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to him."
Now, the initiative on the battlefield was in Lin Ze's hands.
However, it was impossible to build 100,000 sets of tiger and leopard knight armor in a short period of time, and the only way to do it was with Cao Chun.
Lin Ze decided to take action in person, deceive and kidnap him, and get the clothes.
If it really doesn't work, poisoning and destroying the group will do...
