Zhang Yan has been really high-spirited recently. After a little thought, he brought several hundred stones of grain and grass to Shangdang County. Sometimes he even admires himself. After all, this is the city that was taken from Changshan Zhao Zilong. !
"General! The Lord has an order to guard Shangdang County to the death. Yuan Jun must be strangled on his way back!" Cao Hong said.
"Well! This is a must, but what is the master's plan on Zhao Yun's side?" Zhang Yan said
“It’s better to live together peacefully without fighting!”
"General Cao, do you think it is possible? Will Zhao Yun swallow this breath? Besides, except for the place we occupy, the rest of Bingzhou belongs to Zhao Yun. In other words, there are only two of us in Bingzhou, and sooner or later there will be a battle. !" Zhang Yan said helplessly, although it is fun to seize food from the tiger's mouth, it is also very dangerous!
"Zhao Yun only has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and the defense is not enough. How can he attack?" Cao Hong said with a smile.
"The best defense is offense. Zhao Yun has led troops for many years, but have I ever seen him defend?"
"But Zhao Yun doesn't have much food and grass. Even if he wants to attack us, he must at least wait until after the autumn harvest!" Cao Hong said uncertainly.
"Zhao Yun is as treacherous as Chengfeng and won't give us too much time. Besides, Chengfeng's Anping Guangzong is not far from us. We are truly surrounded by enemies on all sides. If we are not careful, all our efforts will be wasted. !" Zhang Yan sighed, now he understands why Zhao Yun is not in a hurry to capture Shangdang County!
"Now we don't have many troops. The general led 20,000 troops and has recovered half of Bingzhou. The front line is too long and is not suitable for our army to defend. But if we give up these places, we are afraid of being trapped and killed by Zhao Yun in Bingzhou. , it’s really not a good choice!” Cao Hong sighed.
"Why don't you ask the Prime Minister for reinforcements?" Zhang Yanda thought for a while.
"There are no troops to send!" Cao Hong smiled bitterly, "The Prime Minister was defeated by Yuan Shu recently, the morale of the army is low, and he plans to attack Xuzhou, and he has to guard against Yuan Shao! It's really uncomfortable!"
"It seems we can only rely on ourselves! Cao Hong obeyed the order and ordered the cavalry to gather around ten miles of Shangdang County. All the infantry will be used to defend the city. I will build Shangdang into an unbreakable fortress and consume Zhao Yun alive here! "Zhang Yan said cruelly.
"promise!"
Following Zhang Yan's order, the entire Cao army began to take action. Except for the 3,000 cavalry, the remaining 20,000 people began to carry out civil construction projects. Shangdang County was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the city walls were getting wider day by day. The moat is getting deeper day by day. After a few days, all the stones and trees near Shangdang County have been plundered.
"You guys, please widen the moat by another fifteen feet and deepen it by another three feet!" Cao Hong shouted after inspecting a circle,
"It's the general!"
The soldiers worked hard day and night and used the soil dug from the river to build the city wall. By the time Zhao Yun received the news, Shangdang City had become a real fortress.
"What? Shangdang's city wall is five feet high and the moat is thirty feet wide!" Zhao Yun said a little surprised, "I'm a good boy, this Yan is really cruel, he actually made such a turtle shell!"
"It's the general! In addition, Zhang Yan plundered the nearby grains and took away all the grains that were about to mature. There were also a lot of wild vegetables! Wherever Zhang Yan's army passed, not a single blade of grass grew!" Wang Yong said
"Hiss!" Zhao Yun felt a toothache. This Zhang Yan really deserves to be a bandit. How come he doesn't follow the routine at all in a fight! "This guy seems to be clinging to the Party! Where is my eldest brother? Is there any news recently?"
"Yes! My lord said that everything here is decided by the general!" Wang Yong said quickly
"Throw away the boss!" Zhao Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had already guessed this result, but he was still a little moved. After all, there were too many things that shocked the master with his great achievements, but Cheng Feng believed in himself so much!
"My lord only sent a brocade bag to the general. He said it was given by Mr. Fengxiao, so that the general can use it in the most critical moment!" Wang Yong quickly took out a brocade bag, with a dragon embroidered on it, soaring in the sky, showing great power. , it looks like a royal product at first glance!
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"My lord said I hope the general won't need this tip!" Wang Yong said with a smile.
"Haha, you know me, big brother!" Zhao Yun burst into laughter, full of pride, "Send the order! The three armies rest and reorganize, and we will make plans after the autumn harvest! Order the Dragon God Army to attack Shangdang County in units of a thousand men at any time!"
"It's the general!"
"The front army attacks!" Yuan Shu yelled. After the last defeat of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu's confidence was unprecedentedly expanded, and there was no one in his eyes! This time Yuan Shu personally led the troops to completely capture Xuzhou!
"Defense! Arrow formation!" As Guan Yunchang shouted, Danyang's elite soldiers quickly lined up their shields in front, and groups of archers also drew their long bows, aiming at Yuan Shu's front army!
"Let go!" There was no way back for Li Xian's arrow, which directly covered the sky and sun. The cold arrow was filled with cold murderous intent and pierced into Yuan Jun's body in full view of everyone.
"Kill!" Ji Ling took the lead, holding a three-pointed two-edged sword in one hand and charging forward with a shield in the other. Yuan Jun did not lose many people under the protection, and he passed the distance of just a few dozen steps in the blink of an eye! "Kill them and Liu Bei's archers will be of no use!" Ji Ling roared and shot out the shield in his hand. He saw it spinning and floating towards the Danyang soldiers' archer array, and smashed it all at once. When a group of people arrived, a gap was cleared!
"Kill!" Others imitated Ji Ling and took out the shields in their hands, and then killed him with spears and swords!
"Block it with the shield soldiers!" Guan Yu's face turned even redder. Although Guan Yu had fought dozens of battles, he still didn't have much experience in actually commanding large corps in combat. Professional generals like him and Ji Ling Comparing it, you can see the difference. After all, the second master became a monk halfway, and it was not yet the time when the Seventh Army was flooded and shocked China!
"Boom!" When the two armies are really fighting together, any conspiracy and tricks are of no use, and the rest can only rely on the lives of the soldiers of the three armies. The Danyang elite soldiers were trained by Tao Qian. In the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, It also left an extremely wonderful epitome. Although it is currently affected by rumors, Liu Bei is now their boss. They can hold Liu Bei accountable, but they have to fight the war. The most important thing now is to finish it. This battle!
"Kill!" The two armies were evenly matched, and they were killing each other. At first, Yuan Jun, led by Ji Ling, killed Danyang's elite soldiers and retreated step by step. However, when more and more soldiers came up, Danyang soldiers stood firm. He stepped back and took back his disadvantage step by step!
"Haha! Kill!" Seeing Yuan Shu's face not looking good, Liu Bei was so happy. He waved the double swords in his hands, and after unfolding his sword skills, Liu Bei was like a spinning top, killing him all at once!
"Suppress!" Guan Yu shouted, and the shield soldiers pressed forward, holding Yuan Shu's front army firmly in check. Danyang's elite soldiers had shield hands in front and spears in the back, and instantly hit Yuan Shu with a counterattack!
"Royal!" Ji Ling commanded. Yuan Jun stayed still and changed his formation again, from an offensive conical formation to a four-sided defensive formation, which firmly blocked Liu Bei's offensive route and made the situation become a That 50/50 look! Historically, Yuan Shu had a special skill, which was to force a 50-50 fight with someone. Whether he was fighting Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or Lu Bu, as long as it was a one-on-one fight, Yuan Shu would never fall behind. He only had more than a dozen. will fail!
"Attack!" Yuan Shu waved his hand, and Yuan Jun's bows and arrows were like rain, pouring Yuan Jun's anger on the Danyang soldiers! A burst of arrows opened a gap, giving Yuan Jun an opportunity to take advantage of it, just like a flood control embankment. Once there is a gap, it is the beginning of collapse! Yuan Shu's former army killed all of them, and the two armies started a fierce hand-to-hand battle. The two sides fought until dark. Yuan Shu's former army was wiped out, but they also reached Liu Bei's camp, and Liu Bei was defeated. In the end, Yuan Shu paid the price for his former army. The price was paid in exchange for the southern gate of Xuzhou, opening up the gateway to the hinterland!
"March quickly! Enter Xuzhou!" Yuan Shu said excitedly. He fought last time, but he didn't get good results. This time he must win one or two cities in Xuzhou no matter what!
Yuan's army was like a tide, attacking Liu Bei's army one after another. At this time, Liu Bei's soldiers were well-fed, but unfortunately they did not have superb command skills and could only rely on the ability of the soldiers to fight. This led to the fall of Danyang's elite soldiers one by one. Liu Bei was so anxious that he was scratching his head and sweating profusely!
"Brother, don't panic! Watch me kill the general and capture the flag for you!" Guan Erye saw that he had to take action on his own. As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yu went into battle! They saw Guan Yu, with a face like jujube and red phoenix eyes, five long beards floating on his chest, wearing a green hero's cloak, an arrow jacket embroidered with a dragon, a hood on his head, and cowhide boots on his two feet. There were five hundred swordsmen and axe-hands lined up behind him, and Guan Yu came out carrying the eighty-two kilogram Qinglong Yanyue Sword and killed him!
"Guan Yunchang is here! Who is going to die!" Guan Yu waved his saw coldly, and the Yuan troops in front of him were defeated one after another. He let out a loud roar that was deafening and stunned the battlefield!
"You are just a person seeking fame and reputation, I, Ji Ling, will kill you!" As soon as Guan Yu finished speaking, Ji Ling was angered. He yelled and then killed him with a three-pointed two-edged sword!
"Eat a certain knife!" Ji Ling was so powerful that he struck Guan Yu with a knife that was so fast and precise that even Guan Yu was surprised!
"Kill!" Guan Yu shouted loudly, and everyone saw the two swords going back and forth to kill him. Guan Yu was brave and Ji Ling was invincible. The two were matched in chess. Amidst the shouts of the crowd, the two of them fought for thirty rounds without knowing it!
"My lord, Liu Bei only fights against Guan Yu. Now the general Ji Ling has restrained Guan Yu. Why don't you order a general to raise troops to cover up and kill Liu Bei?" Chen Ji looked at the two fighting generals and couldn't help but frowned, thinking of his plan. !
"What a great idea! Chen Lan is the same, kill him quickly and take Liu Bei's army directly!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed,
"Kill!" Seeing Yuan Jun rushing over, Liu Bei screamed in agony. He had just experienced a burst of Yuan Jun's charge, but he didn't recover this time. Why did Yuan Shu come over again? Is this still the same idiot? Liu Bei was a little doubtful at this moment, whether the person opposite was Yuan Shu! In fact, you can't blame Liu Bei. In the later period, Yuan Shu himself had no ability and just relied on his capable men. But now Liu Bei is more miserable because he met Yuan Shu at his peak, so he was beaten like a grandson!
"Block! Hurry, Ming Jin calls Yun Chang back!" Liu Bei let his hair down and shouted loudly, a little hysterically!
Guan Yu fought Ji Ling for thirty rounds, which was just the warm-up period, but Ji Ling on the opposite side had already tried his best. Guan Yu thought silently in his heart that in another twenty rounds, he could kill Ji Ling. , suddenly heard the sound of a gong being struck from his own position, which made him very unhappy. Danyang's elite soldiers are stronger than Yuan Shu's men and horses after all. However, these Danyang soldiers have not had time to be reorganized after being recruited by Liu Bei, so they are really too powerful to use them!
"Retreat!" Guan Yu slashed three times in a row, forcing Ji Ling to retreat. He turned his horse's head back and shouted, leading his men and horses towards the main position. He rushed out of a road to protect Liu Bei and others from retreating. Yuan Shu's attack had no choice but to give up. Liu Bei retreated thirty miles that night, and Yuan Shu also occupied Liu Bei's camp!
"Haha, the army is resting and preparing for the autumn harvest. In three months, Xuzhou will be captured!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed and gave the order happily. Yuan Shu's highlight moment has arrived. The most depressed person at this time is Yuan Shao. He just quietly After capturing a Shangdang county, Yuan Shu defeated Cao Mengde twice and captured a quarter of Xuzhou. For a time, the whole country of Wei Ya was in the limelight!
"Haha, Yuan Jiujiu, Yuan Jiujiu, he is indeed not an ordinary person!" Cheng Feng, who was far away in Changshan, looked at the battle report in his hand and couldn't help but sigh, because of this matter, the moon waxes and wanes, and once it reaches its peak, From now on, it can only go downhill!
"Lord! Yuan Shu is now prestigious enough, can he take action?" Zhang Liao said with a smile.
"Don't worry, send an order to Zhao Yun to capture Shangdang first and drive Zhang Yan out of Bingzhou. We will send troops to close Zhang Yan's retreat!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Good idea, I'm afraid Zhang Yan can't handle it!" Guo Jia said with a smile, because he knew this bitch Cheng Feng too well. As long as he takes action, it won't be a small advantage!
"Add more firepower to Lu Bu and let him and Yuan Shao deal with Liu Bei together!" Xu Shu said
"Haha! Boss Cao will do this, and it will be more legitimate than what we do!" Cheng Feng laughed,
"Haha" After hearing Cheng Feng's words, everyone burst out laughing. It looked like a group of old foxes discussing how to trick someone!
Just when Cheng Feng and others were lusting after, Wen Hou Lu Bu also received a letter from Prime Minister Cao. The general meaning was to ask Lu Bu and others to unite and kill Yuan Shu first, and then consider the hostility relationship! Lu Bu frowned when he looked at the letter in his hand, his face uncertain!
"Mr. Gongtai, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Lu Bu asked Chen Gong who looked calm at the side.
"Hmph! Cao Cao's wolfish ambitions are known to the world. Now it is only Yuan Shu who is more powerful, so he will let go of his prejudices. Xuzhou is our foundation. Now that Liu Bei has been defeated and his strength has been damaged, it is a good opportunity for us. As long as Yuan Shu adds more strength Attack vigorously, then we can destroy Liu Bei. Although Yuan Shu has won now, this is Xuzhou after all, and he will not stay for too long. As long as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao don't interfere, it will be very simple to deal with Yuan Shu!" Chen Gong! smile
"Then we don't have to deal with Cao Cao?" Lu Bu asked. Although Lu Bu is invincible, his brain is really not easy to use!
"At least show it off. Otherwise, if Cao Cao makes trouble from behind, it will also be a trouble for us!" Gao Shun said
"Yes, we can secretly capture Xuzhou. Yuan Shu is waiting for the autumn harvest. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have just made a grudge. Chengfeng is not a stable leader. I am afraid that their focus will be on Luoyang and Bingzhou. This Xuzhou is now our most powerful. Therefore, my lord, you can wait until after the autumn harvest. If Liu Bei is defeated, we will take Xuzhou. If Yuan Shu is defeated, we will not need to use troops. If both sides suffer, then this is our best chance!" Chen Gongdao
"Okay! Then wait three months and see if there is an opportunity to operate! The most important thing now is to grab food and try to get all the new food in Xuzhou!" Lu Bu said
"Yes! General!" Gao Shun was overjoyed. It seemed that his lord was finally back to normal!
"What? Zhang Yan is sticking to Shangdang County? You're confused!" Boss Cao's base camp was in a quarrel at this time. Regarding Zhang Yan's approach, they were also divided into two groups. Some people agreed and some opposed it!
"If you don't stick to it, will you have to give up the territory you have acquired?" Liu Ye said. He thought Zhang Yan's approach was fine. At least it had put a nail in the seal's territory, which would be of great significance in the future!
"But this has restricted a lot of our energy and financial resources. If we want to keep him, we have to pay a higher price! Besides, Cheng Feng is not an ordinary person. He will not give up easily. I'm afraid now He is about to take action!" Cheng Yu said, he was defeated last time. Cheng Yu and Xu Huang came back after going through many vicissitudes of life, which is really a bit emotional!
"Huh, don't we have to fight sooner or later? If we don't fight now, when Chengfeng has a firm foothold in Bingzhou, I'm afraid there will be no other power north of the Yellow River. By then, the princes of the world will become great, and Chengfeng will be great. The beginning of a nightmare!" Xun You said,
"Okay gentlemen, now is not the time to argue. I still know Chengfeng very well. I never follow common sense when sending troops, and things are ever-changing. There are no principles. As long as it is beneficial to him, let alone Shangdang County. That's it. He can give up on Bingzhou. In the same way, if joining the party is beneficial to him, he will not give up, and he will do whatever it takes to get it. As for using that day as a shield, it is a waste of time for him, and he will definitely succeed. We will send troops, so what we have to consider now is how to rescue Zhang Yan and others. As for Shangdang County, I think it cannot be defended. At least our financial and material resources are not able to support Zhang Yan in a protracted war. Yes!" Boss Cao said quickly, after all, this group of people couldn't solve this matter even if they quarreled to the sky!
"Zhang Xiu sent troops to Luoyang in the yin and yang dynasties. The prime minister's army was newly defeated and morale was low. Now it is the autumn harvest. Yuan Shao is watching with eager eyes. Yuan Shu is also secretly spying. We can no longer send many troops. Can we ask Yuan Shao to send troops? What?" Xun Yu said, after all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!
"You can give it a try, but you can't put the treasure in a basket. Let Xia Houyuan lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet Zhang Yan. I hope there is enough time, so go now!" Cao Cao said
"No!" Xia Houyuan quickly said with his hands in hand!
