Chapter 344: The 100,000 Army Moves
Liu Yu angrily issued an order to declare war on Cao Cao, and all Liu Yu's soldiers began to get excited, these days, they were very passive, always bullied by others, and now they can finally take the initiative to attack the enemy, and it is a huge number of 100,000 troops!
All the soldiers in Liu Yu's territory were mobilized.
Liu Yu's troops were scattered all over the country, and in order to gather 100,000 troops, it was unrealistic to concentrate the defensive forces of all the prefectures and counties. Although the soldiers were all in high spirits and asked for battle, Liu Yu could not use both the defensive and reserve troops. Liu Yu began to fight the idea of the Liangzhou army.
So, Liu Yu invited Ma Teng to tell him about the matter, hoping that Ma Teng could repair a letter and deploy some troops from Liangzhou to participate in the war.
Ma Teng was scared half to death by Liu Yu's posture, Liu Yu wanted to deploy Liangzhou soldiers and horses to join the battle, and he didn't have to tell him at all, Ma Teng felt that Liu Yu was testing him.
That's right, Liu Yu is testing him, since Ma Chao was transferred to Luoyang, the Liangzhou army has been a lot more honest, but sometimes he always ignores Liu Yu's orders, Liu Yu just wants to take this opportunity to think about it, if Ma Teng is not so cooperative, Liu Yu will have to take action on this.
Fortunately, Ma Teng had already accepted his fate, and he didn't dare to refute what Liu Yu meant, so he repaired a letter to Ma Dai in Liangzhou on the spot.
Liu Yu was very satisfied with Ma Teng's decision, and he was also relieved of Ma Teng.
With the arrival of Liu Yu's order and Ma Teng's letter, Ma Dai did not dare to slack off and arranged for Pang De to lead 20,000 Liangzhou cavalry to participate in the battle.
Liu Yu was very happy when he heard that Pang De led the army, this is a famous loyal and brave general in history.
With 20,000 Liangzhou cavalry participating in the battle, Liu Yu's troops were suddenly sufficient.
Liu Yu arranged for the town to guard Luoyang, and Jia Xu accompanied the army as a staff officer.
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Pang De were the main generals, and Liu Yu personally took command and led 100,000 troops to rush out from Bishui Pass.
Liu Yu did not make this military operation publicly known as which one it was directed at, but Cai Mao, who attacked Wancheng, was also frightened.
Cai Mao saw Liu Yu coming with such a terrifying number of troops, it seemed that Liu Yu was free. Cai Mao thought that Liu Yu was going to deal with him, and his first reaction was to withdraw the army.
Cai Mao's hasty retreat gave Wancheng's Zhang Xiu a chance, and Zhang Xiu led the cavalry to chase and kill Cai Mao, who had fled for his life, and killed Cai Mao to a great defeat.
It was not until Liu Yu arrived in Wancheng that Zhang Xiu returned to Wancheng with his cavalry.
Liu Yu told Zhang Xiu that the target of the attack this time was Xuchang, and Zhang Xiu hurriedly asked for battle, saying that Wancheng could be guarded by Hou Cheng.
Zhang Xiu knew that if he didn't take advantage of this rare opportunity to show himself in front of Liu Yu, he might only be able to defend this Wancheng in this life. Although Liu Yu valued him very much and gave him enough rights, Zhang Xiu still wanted to rise up.
Liu Yu hesitated, he didn't plan to bring Zhang Xiu over. Seeing Liu Yu's hesitant expression, Zhang Xiu hurriedly glanced at his fellow disciple Zhao Yun, hoping that Zhao Yun would be able to say a few kind words in front of Liu Yu.
Zhao Yun felt that it was understandable that Zhang Xiu wanted to go out with the army, and if it was him, he would also want Liu Yu to ask for battle, so Zhao Yun said a few good words for Zhang Xiu.
Liu Yu thought about it carefully, if he refuted Zhang Xiu this time, it made him feel unbalanced in his heart, and if there was a case in the future, Liu Yu would not be able to deal with it, so in the end, Liu Yu agreed to Zhang Xiu's request.
Zhang Xiu is so happy, it is better to be able to fight on the battlefield than to keep guarding Wancheng all the time.
After Liu Yu's army was rectified for a day, he killed Xuchang.
Wancheng was too close to Xuchang, and Cao Cao had already taken defensive measures. However, Liu Yu's large-scale expedition made the entire Xuchang fall into a panic.
Xun Yu, who was guarding the town, hurriedly transferred reserve troops from all over the country to come to defend the town. However, since Ma Chao and Chen Gong were still attacking Chen Liu, Xun Yu's available troops were very limited. As a last resort, Xun Yu sent several letters of help to Cao Cao, who had just received Xuzhou.
The people of the world finally knew that Liu Yu was going to do something to Cao Cao.
Liu Bei, who had already taken refuge in Yuan Shao, heard the news and scolded Liu Yu for being unkind, if Liu Yu could have made a move earlier, he would not have fallen to the point where he is now under the fence. Although Yuan Shao valued Liu Bei very much on the surface and gave Liu Bei an official position, he actually did not give much real power. Moreover, Guan Yu and Liu Bei's wife Mi are now missing, which makes Liu Bei worried. Liu Bei was not worried about his wife, but worried about whether Guan Yu would have any accidents. He Liu Bei is already unlucky enough, if he loses a brother like Guan Yu with superb martial arts, Liu Bei can only burst into tears every day.
And Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuzhou, heard the news that Liu Yu led an army of 100,000 to kill Xuchang, and he felt like he was lifting a stone to hit himself in the foot. After Cao Cao hurriedly arranged in Xuzhou, he ordered Chen Deng to assassinate the new Xuzhou history, and then led the soldiers and horses back to Xuchang to rescue.
The most nervous ones are Liu Xie and Dong Chengfu, who have finished these gangs. Needless to say, Liu Xie originally came out of Liu Yu, if he was caught by Liu Yu, he could only be placed under house arrest for the rest of his life, and it was even possible for Liu Yu to force him to concede.
Liu Xie was captured by Liu Yu and lost the throne at most, but his life would not hurt him. And Dong Cheng and these people are not so secure, if they are caught by Liu Yu, they will only have a dead end.
For the sake of their own lives, Dong Chenghe Fu Wan rarely publicly expressed their support for Cao Cao, and also contributed money and efforts, calling on the ministers to work together to protect Xuchang from Liu Yu, a traitor.
Xun Yu figured out the minds of these ministers, they were protecting the Son of Heaven in order to protect Xuchang on the surface, but in the final analysis, they were protecting their own rights. However, no matter what the purpose of these ministers is, it is possible to have more strength to defend Xuchang.
Xun Yu pays attention to routines in life and work, and he sent a man who dared to die to scold Liu Yu for why he dared to do something to the capital of the Son of Heaven, and was ready to bring the righteousness to his side.
Liu Yu didn't expect Xun Yu, who had Wang Zuozhi's talent, to have such a simple side, and now that they are all fighting each other, what else do they pay attention to.
Liu Yu didn't bother this messenger who was bent on death, just left him on the side of the road, and then continued on the road.
Xun Yu didn't expect Liu Yu to be shameless to this point.
Liu Yu's army of 100,000 advanced rapidly, and the defense arranged by Cao Cao could not create much of an obstacle for Liu Yu at all.
Xun Yu was about to cry, Liu Yu's army was too fierce, and Cao Cao's main force did not come back, if Liu Yu was killed under Xuchang City, there would be no room for maneuver.
Xun Yu looked at the bad news that kept coming in, and his hair turned a few whites.
