Yuan Shu withdrew, and everyone was a little dumbfounded. They felt like fools who were played by Yuan Shu, especially Cao Cao and Cheng Feng. The strategic arrangements they designed had become armies on paper. This time, the puppet emperor Yuan Shu taught a good lesson!
"What do you think, Prime Minister?" Cheng Feng asked
"Haha!" Cao Cao smiled bitterly, feeling something indescribable in his heart. Everyone said that Cao Cao was treacherous, but now it seems that Yuan Shu is the truly shameless one! "Yuan Gongli is indeed a talent. Sometimes he is extremely stupid, and sometimes he is as cunning as a fox!"
"Now that Yuan Shu has withdrawn to Shouchun, His Majesty's decree is to attack Yuan Shu! I'm afraid I have to leave this Xuzhou matter to Lu Bu!" Cao Cao said with some pity.
"What? Does Prime Minister Cao still want Xuzhou?" Cheng Fengpi asked with a smile.
"How dare you!" Cao Cao snorted, "Sir, who doesn't want Xuzhou? It's a strategic location and rich in products. Whoever gets Xuzhou will be qualified to dominate the world!"
"Destroy Yuan Shu first and then talk about it. Don't forget that Liu Bei is a man with great ideas. Although he is defeated now, Prime Minister Cao must be careful about raising tigers!" Cheng Feng glanced at Liu Bei who was huddled behind and said slowly!
"Huh! If Marquis Xiaoyao doesn't care, you should be careful and don't get killed by Yan Liang!" Cao Cao was also disgusted with Cheng Feng. Cheng Feng didn't care after hearing this, but it frightened Yan Liang next to him. I was sweating all over my forehead, and my legs couldn't help but tremble!
"Haha! Meng De really doesn't suffer at all!" Cheng Feng laughed and looked at Xuzhou City, because at this time the Xuzhou City Gate was wide open, and Lu Bu and others slowly walked out!
"Thank you generals for coming to relieve the siege!" Lu Bu was very respectful. He didn't want to mess with either of these two people!
"It's a pity, Yuan Shu is so slippery, there's no way to kill him!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"If the Marquis will not give up, I am willing to do your best!" Lu Bu said quickly, wanting to take the opportunity to change the subject, so that Cheng Feng and others would not enter Xuzhou!
"Okay! If you are willing to be the vanguard, great things can be accomplished!" Cao Cao said directly, blocking Lu Bu's retreat first!
"I am willing to listen to Duke Ming's orders!" Lu Bu is not an ordinary person. He just teased this. It's just a matter of seeing how Cheng Feng and Cao Cao are competing. Liu Bei and others can only watch the show now!
"The army is resting and regrouping. We will go out tomorrow! Destroy Yuan Shu!" Cheng Feng said
No one will enter Xuzhou City. If Lu Bu gets cruel and kills all these people, it will be great fun. No one will be interested in such a big temptation!
Cheng Feng invited Yan Liang, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others that night. Naturally, Lu Bu also arrived. Lu Bu, who was unparalleled in the world, still had some courage. The most important thing was that he trusted Cheng Feng!
"Generals! In order to defeat the traitor Yuan Shu, we all led our troops and horses to risk their bows and arrows. You can lead your own troops and horses yourself, and there is no need to coordinate them. However, please work together to destroy Yuan Shu!" Cheng Feng Manchuan said, after all, this is a joint military operation, there will definitely be problems, and there are quite a lot of them!
"I wonder if the Marquis has any arrangements. Yuan Shu's city is deep, rich in supplies, and his troops are more than twice ours. If we attack rashly, wouldn't there be something wrong?" Liu Bei said. Since Cao Cao became a feudal lord, he has been There is no sense of existence anymore!
When Cheng Feng saw it was Liu Bei, he felt a little embarrassed. Historically, Liu Bei was the number one contributor to the destruction of Yuan Shu. Should he still be given the credit?
"I called everyone here today just to discuss this matter. I wonder what Xuande has to say?" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Yuan Shu doesn't have many generals under his command. We can attack Yuan Shu's cities one by one and slowly consume his troops!" Liu Bei said
Your uncle, Cheng Feng almost cursed when he heard this. It's not certain who is being consumed. As time goes by, with your Liu Bei's ability, won't all the soldiers and horses nearby be fooled by you? When the time comes, I will be in front. Aoao, work hard, you are controlling the troops from behind, you are thinking very well!
"Xuan Degong is indeed a good method. It's just that there are too many supplies required for a protracted battle. I'm afraid we can't afford it!" Lu Bu frowned and said, his own Xuzhou can't afford to support these people. Besides, there is no need for siege warfare. So easy to fight!
"Is there any way to lure Yuan Shu out?" Cheng Feng looked at Cao Cao and asked,
"It's hard to say. This battle has frightened Yuan Shu. In addition, his temperament has changed drastically and he is no longer the original Yuan Shu. I'm afraid we will be in trouble this time!" Cao Cao said with a bitter smile.
"There must be a road for cars to reach the mountain, and for ships to reach the bridge. Let's besiege Shouchun first. We also ask Xuande and Lu Bu to supply food and grass. The food and grass needed by our army will take too much time to come from Hebei. The recent period Time depends on you two!" Cheng Feng said
"No!" No matter how reluctant they are, Lu Bu and Lu Bu can't fall out now. They can only watch Cao Cheng and Cao Cheng open their mouths.
"I heard that Yuan Shu wants to marry Marquis Wen?" Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Not bad! But I rejected it!" Lu Bu said
"What a pity, otherwise Yuan Shu could have been designed like this!" Liu Bei sighed
"It doesn't matter! I don't know what the Prime Minister has to say. Now that Runan and Zhang Xun are at loggerheads, can we use this as a breakthrough?" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Zhang Xun is proficient in military strategy and has strong martial arts. Cheng Yu and others are more than capable of defense but insufficient of offense. Zhang Xiu of Wancheng is ready to make a move recently. There really are not many troops to invest. The 100,000 troops I lead are already at their limit. I can't say that. It sounds good, if someone attacks Yanzhou and other places at this time, I can only watch!" Cao Cao said with a bitter smile.
"The Prime Minister is joking!" Everyone said quickly, I believe you, you are so scheming, is there no way out? You are a liar! Besides, at this stage, whoever dares to attack you would be making it clear that he is with Yuan Shu!
"The army will first go south and besiege Shouchun. Then it will divide its forces and move west. It can attack Runan and Nanyang. It can also go south to threaten Jiujiang. What do you think?" Cheng Feng said.
"This will trap Yuan Shu in Shouchun City, and he won't be able to escape even if he wants to,"
"Yes, that's a good idea!"
"In that case, let's take a day's rest and move the army south. I want to complete my victory in one battle!" Cheng Feng said
"Okay! Okay! Haha!" In Xuchang City, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie looked at the battle report in his hand and laughed heartily. It not only contained the achievements of Cheng Feng and others, but also the contents of Cheng Feng and Cao Cao's discussions. , it can be said that everything is meticulous!
"Congratulations to your majesty!" Xun Yu said. As a true minister of the Han Dynasty, Xun Yu really thought about the Han Dynasty. Seeing him like this now, he was very happy!
"The traitor Yuan Shu was defeated and hunkered down in Shouchun. The prime minister and others have done a great job for their hard work. Aiqing drafted a decree for me to reward them, and also asked them to bring back the jade seal passed down from the country!" Liu Xiedao
"According to the order!"
Different from the happy look of Liu Xie in Xuchang, Yuan Shu in Shouchun City is very depressed. His soldiers cannot defeat Cheng Feng and others. I have a headache, I can’t help with the battle, and I keep adding to the trouble. It’s really useless!
"Your Majesty! Now that the coalition forces are about to move south, can we send out troops to meet them? As the saying goes, wait for work with ease!" Yang Hongdao
"Hmph! Are you going to lead the troops?" Yuan Shu said. At this time, he regretted sending Chen Lan, Lei Bo and others out. If he had left one or two, he would not be so passive now!
"This? I am a civil servant, and this is not the right thing to lead troops!" Yang Hong said helplessly. He also read in the book that he should wait for work in leisure!
"It's nonsense. You just need to sort out the internal affairs for me. Our city is tall and there are various passes and checkpoints. It is not easy for the coalition forces to get over. You just need to hold it steady for me. In addition, Sun Jian rebelled and attacked on the Yangtze River. "Qingjiang, this is a plan to draw out the firepower, do you have any good strategies?" Yuan Shu said with a headache.
"The water battle in Jiangdong is okay, but the land battle is almost impossible. Your Majesty can order Liu Xun and Yuan Yin to stay in Hefei to resist the Jiangdong navy!" Ji Lingdao
"Accurate!" Yuan Shu didn't have any good ideas, so he agreed directly. After all, it was a military commander's suggestion, so it was more or less reliable.
"Order General Zhang Xun to send 200,000 troops to attack Cao's army. We must break into Yanzhou or Yuzhou to share the pressure on Yangzhou!"
"yes!"
"The Grand Sima Ji Ling will command all the soldiers and horses in Shouchun to resist Cao Cao. Li Feng will be the governor of Shouchun, the Huaiyin Order will provide Ji Ling with food and grass support, Yan Xiang will be the military advisor, and the rest will be responsible for internal affairs!" Yuan Shu thought for a while and said, Now is a critical moment of life and death. You must properly delegate power, otherwise you will be exhausted!
"According to the order!" A group of people quickly said, this Yuan Shu is becoming more and more difficult to see through!
"Contact Yuan Shao, and I will exchange the imperial seal for him to send troops. We can attack Chengfeng, Cao Cao or even Lu Bu!" After everyone left, Yuan Shu said to Ji Ling
"Will the eldest master agree to this?"
"As long as there is such a thing, Cao Cao and the others will not feel at ease in attacking. In addition, there is news that Lu Bu is going to kill Liu Bei!" Yuan Shu said
"Yes!" Although I don't understand why, Ji Ling's advantage is that he is obedient!
While both sides were preparing for battle, Jin Machao of Xiliang couldn't sit still and gathered a group of troops to attack Chang'an, the capital of the west, again. He was still angry at Xia Houyuan's surprise attack!
"Kill them! Chang'an soldiers and horses!" Ma Chao shouted, he looks really good, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like shooting stars, a tiger's body and ape's arms, a belly and a wolf's waist, holding a spear in his hand, and riding a horse!
"No! Defend and counterattack!" Chang'an guard Man Chong said. He is experienced with the Xiliang soldiers. As long as he withstands the first two charges, you will chase him after him!
"Set fireballs!" With a shout, a fire broke out on Chang'an City. Fireballs were everywhere, which immediately dumbfounded Ma Chao and others. They were all a group of cavalry. They had little experience in sieges, and fire was something war horses were naturally afraid of. , this morale was immediately shattered. Seeing that the attack on the city was hopeless, Ma Chao and others rushed through the outside of Chang'an, rushed into the pass to plunder, and then went straight to Wancheng, had a fight with Zhang Xiu, and returned to Xiliang with food and horses, letting him Everyone was confused and couldn't figure out why this living treasure was so crazy. Especially at this time, it was even more speechless. Liu Zhang, who was far away in Yizhou, also took the opportunity to send troops to guard the pass and isolate the world. Let Yizhou become a closed world!
"Kill!" After Zhang Xun received the order, he sent troops directly from Runan to kill Xuchang, and asked the soldiers in Nanyang to be prepared to attack Xinye and Wancheng directly if there was any movement from Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu. If there was no movement, then Find the right time to raid Xuchang!
"Block!" Cheng Yu held a long sword and personally directed the battle, not even bothering to wipe the blood on his face!
"Blue Dragon Formation, attack! Kill the traitor!" Cao Hong roared. This time he was released by Cao Cao and killed him directly. Cao Chun left five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry for him, which was perfect for charging at this time. Five hundred men lined up and charged through the army, perfectly utilizing the mobility of the cavalry. Zhang Xun was stunned with just one charge, and a path was opened instantly!
"Kill!" Zhang Xun held a spear and ran directly towards Cao Hong. His elite soldiers also surrounded Cao Jun. When the two met, they did not say much and just took action. The spears and swords went back and forth for fifteen rounds. Cao Hong did not dare to delay. Afraid of ruining the tiger and leopard knight, he immediately turned around and left when he saw that he couldn't fight for a long time!
"Kill him!" Cao Hong swung his broadsword and killed him directly. With the impact of the war horse, it was indeed not something that ordinary soldiers could stop!
"General?" Chen Lang was about to speak.
"Don't worry about it, kill Xuchang. As long as we enter Xuchang, we will win. Order Lei Bo to guard Runan. Let's go to the emperor's place for a walk first. Remember not to be too eager to fight, but to build momentum first!" Zhang Xundao said
"Yes! General!" Chen Landao said
"The army attacks! The target is Xuchang!" Zhang Xun led the troops and rushed directly into Cheng Yu's army formation, killing an opponent through the intestines. It was regarded as retaliation for Cao Hong's attack. Then he slowly advanced towards Xuchang, suppressing Cao's army. later!
"No!" Cheng Yu was shocked. If one hundred thousand people were let go, he would know what would happen without even thinking! "Quickly send a message to the court and ask Mr. Xun Yu to prepare!"
"General, we are charging towards Xuchang like this, what should we do with the backup supplies?" Chen Lan asked as he looked at Zhang Xun who was marching in a hurry.
"Build up your momentum first, advance for an hour, then change the army, and then fight back!" Zhang Xunyin sneered. These words made Chen Lan shudder and almost cursed, this guy is not a good guy!
"Hurry! Go after Yuan Jun and hold on to Yuan Jun. You must slow them down!" Cheng Yu was really anxious. He killed a man last time. If he loses Xuchang again this time, he will be dead. Now He regretted very much why he separated the soldiers!
"Kill!" Cao Hong was fast and led his cavalry to chase Yuan Jun. Zhang Xun's generals used bows and arrows to suppress the formation and kept a firm distance! The two sides are in a stalemate with each other!
"Change the formation! Kill them!" Zhang Xun quietly came to the rear army. Seeing that Cao Cao's army was mobilized, he slowly raised his butcher knife. He had already dispatched a small force of several thousand people into Cao Cao's territory. It should be enough to destroy and cut off the food road, but the entire army cannot be ruined here!
"Cao Hong! Take your life!" Zhang Xun and Chen Lan went straight to the tiger and leopard cavalry to kill him. They rushed over with five thousand cavalry to defeat Cao Hong in one go!
"Not good!" Cao Hong was shocked. Seeing that he was about to be scattered, Cao Hong came to his wits in a hurry and attacked the right wing with his entire army, trying to bring Yuan Jun's cavalry to his own infantry!
"Hmph! Kill it!" Seeing Cao Hong move out of the way, Zhang Xun had achieved his goal and without any further delay, he directly attacked Cheng Yu's formation.
Cheng Yu, who was chasing after him vigorously, never expected that Yuan Jun would turn around and collide with Zhang Xun and others!
"Traitor, take your life!" Cheng Yu was very powerful. He was not the weak scholar in the book. His fighting ability was also considered to be first-rate. The long sword flew in his hand, shining brightly and with great lethality. , and went directly to Zhang Xun!
"Look at the sword!" Cheng Yu took action with anger and was sure to kill him. Zhang Xun was so frightened that Zhang Xun was in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to waste time. After he missed Cheng Yu, he rushed towards Cao Jun in the rear!
Tens of thousands of people broke through the gap of thousands of people as if they were playing. They killed them in just half an hour. Although Cao Hong blocked some Yuan troops, there were too few people and did not cause much damage, which made Cheng Yu the most angry. The only thing is that I was tricked twice, still in the same way!
"I'm so angry!" Looking at Yuan Jun who was slowly walking away, Cheng Yu didn't dare to pursue him. There were too few people on his side. If Zhang Xun came back a few more times, it would be over. Fortunately, only Zhang Xun's relatives were fighting. Army, most of Yuan's army are on their way, otherwise thousands of his troops would have died long ago!
"Sir! What does this honor mean?" Cao Hong didn't understand. Isn't this a waste of troops for no reason?
"Our ambush troops were led away by the nose before they came out. Now that I think about it, I feel a little helpless. This Zhang Xun is interesting, but I haven't understood his actions yet, but he also gave us a reminder that we must All places are prepared to prepare in case Yuan Jun really attacks Xuchang!" Cheng Yu said with a murderous look on his face.
"I hope Mr. Xun Yu can see through Zhang Xun's thoughts!" Cao Hong was also helpless. He could charge into the battle, but he couldn't do it when it came to intelligence and temptation!
"Hopefully!" Cheng Yu smiled bitterly. This is really out of common sense. There is no way to fight this battle. To put it bluntly, it is relying on more people to bully you. What can you do!
"We can't let their army escape our sight, and we ask General Cao to investigate more!" Cheng Yu said. After killing for a long time, his wrist was very sore, but Cao Hong looked full of energy!
"yes!"
After Xun Yu received Cheng Yu's letter, he didn't know what to do, so he called Liu Ye and Xun You for discussion. In the end, he could only defend Xuchang and ignore the rest. After all, Cao Cao didn't say he wanted backup when he went on an expedition. For food and grass, this army is close to Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and there are also Xiahou Dun's 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers. Even if a small force sneaks in, they may never come back! As for Cheng Yu, they were even more helpless because no one wanted to deal with this man. After all, sometimes some of his actions were really unacceptable!
