A series of chain reactions of the defeat of Xiangyang caught Cao Han off guard, especially the rebellion of Wancheng, in order to march south, when stationed in Xiangyang, Cao Ren was in Wancheng's particularly cruel conscription and labor, and the conscripts kept building siege equipment day and night, and used it when waiting for Cao Cao to conquer Jingchu again on the second line.

But now these siege weapons have all fallen into the hands of Guan Yu, and the cruel labor has aroused the strong hatred of the people of Wancheng, and this hatred has also erupted in the battle of Xudu.

Outside the city of Xudu, on the flat plain, there were countless marmots, and the best shovels from Liaodong cut through the earth sharply, and the trenches were winding like snakes, circling to dig towards the city wall.

After fighting with Liu Bei for half his life, Guan Yu is an experienced veteran, and did not encircle Xuchang to the ground, only in the north of Xuchang City, the east of the city, and the south of the city to build a siege defense line, and reserved the road to the west of the city, of which the north of the city and the east of the city isolated Cao Han's reinforcements from Yuzhou and Jizhou, and the south of the city was used as the main siege battlefield, and there were ten huge well railings arrogantly looking down on Xuchang City, and the groups of archers on it were densely packed with arrows to suppress the defenders of Xuchang with arrow rain.

As long as Xuchang is defeated, the Jingzhou army will also have an exceptionally strong stronghold to rely on in the Central Plains, and Liu Bei really has a chance to win the Central Plains.

However, the only thing Guan Yu didn't expect was that in the face of his eldest brother Yizhou Bingfeng, Wang Hou, he still withstood the pressure and sent reinforcements.

…………

Before the Chang'an army arrived in Xuchang, Sima Yi, the assassin of Yongzhou, had already set off first, after all, his old scumbag was the head snake in Hedong, the representative of the Central Plains Shi clan, the old guy's public relations ability was good, Cao Zhang's time was there, he had already gathered more than 20,000 Shi clan soldiers in the hills north of Xudu, and tens of thousands of stone grain.

However, the psychology of the Gyeonggi Gate Valve was also revealed in this Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, remembering that when Wang Hou checked the land, only one Wuyang Han family mobilized more than 20,000 tenants to besiege him, if the scholars worked together, it would not be a problem for the densely populated Central Plains to gather 100,000 troops.

But this time Sima Yi sold his old face, and only gathered 20,000 people, most of whom were tenants of his Sima family in Hedong, Cao Cao said that the political impact of the King of Wei can be seen, and in the face of Guan Yu, most of the gate valves held a wait-and-see attitude.

However, this old guy is obviously still full of confidence, when this army arrived, he was wearing a full set of armor, he was wearing a Confucian robe with a red face and came out of the camp, leading a large group of Hedong disciples, and hugged his fist at Cao Zhang.

"Childe!"

In the end, it was Cao Cao's son, although he was apprehensive when he went into battle for the first time, but in front of people, Cao Zhang's majesty of the deputy coach was still vivid, and he nodded solemnly with a calm heart, and took the rest of the three Xiaoqiang, in Sima Yi's welcome, he entered the camp with great momentum.

The terrain of Xuchang is somewhat similar to Luoyang, both of which are hilly and mountainous in the northwest, and a flat area in the southeast.

Ascending the hill next to the camp, looking down with a telescope, Xuchang City and the mighty array outside the city were impressively met the eyes of Cao Zhang and others.

"Childe, the south of the city is Guan Yu's main array, all the Jingzhou thieves brought out by him are stationed here, a total of 50,000 people, the east of the city is Lu Hun's group of thieves 30,000 people, and the 18,000 people in the north of the city are Wancheng Hou Yinwei's rebel army, although Guan Yu's thief army is outnumbered, but after the Guan thief 30,000 Jingzhou army is considered to be the elite, Wancheng and Lu Hun thieves are just a rabble!"

"Plus! There is still a flaw in the thief, right there, the group of people who were encircled by the left army were under the command of 12,000 people. ”

Guan Yu was in a hurry to go north, and he couldn't allocate too many troops to escort the forbidden army, so he only escorted 15,000 people to Jiangling and 3,000 stranded in Xiangyang, and these 12,000 people had to be brought to the battlefield! ”

"Yu Ban army more Yuzhou people, many of them are prime minister's veterans, it is impossible to really surrender Guan Yu, the son can lead the army to attack the Guan Yu camp in the south of the city, attract its troops to lead, and send a few hundred light cavalry to attack its rear army, as long as my Great Wei army arrives, Yu Ban These old departments will definitely rise up to resist, and when the time comes, Guan Yu will be defeated!"

"The old man led the army to take a look at the battle for the son, led the troops to rush into the city overnight, and then led the army to attack Lu Hun and the group of thieves, and cut off the reinforcements of the thieves in the east of the city for the son!"

It can be clearly seen that a son is screaming, but it can be clearly seen that Sima Yi did not take Cao Zhang, a fledgling rookie, in his eyes, and he pointed out the country with a rather passionate appearance.

"Why should I listen to you?"

didn't wait for Cao Zhang to answer, but the crisp voice was already sounding behind him, and then he noticed the staff officer with Cao Zhang, looked at the past, and looked at Wang Changle's little face, Sima Yi couldn't help but immediately cry out bitterly, why is this little aunt and grandmother here?

But this old fox is an old fox after all, stunned, he looked like he was smiling again, clenched his fists heavily, and said hello with a smile.

"I've seen Miss Changle!"

"Since Miss Changle doesn't agree with the contemptible strategy, I still hope that Miss Changle will give you some guidance on the contemptible!"

"Forehead ......"

was asked by him like this, Wang Changle couldn't help but get stuck, although he had also taken a staff course in Liaodong Academy, but suddenly let her a young girl come up with such a powerful battle strategy, where did she get it.

However, the eldest lady is the leader, and she is responsible for selecting talents, just like Han Gaozu Liu Bang can't catch up with Han Xin with his soldiers and horses! As soon as she stretched out her hand, she dragged Deng Ai, who was still watching with a telescope, over.

"Little Dengzi, how do you say to fight?"

In Changle's expectant gaze, Deng Ai slowly put down the binoculars and hugged his fists heavily at Cao Zhang.

"General, Sima Thorn Shi is a famous man in Hedong, and he has been in the army for many years, and his experience is not comparable to ours, since Sima Thorn Shi has arranged it like this, we will follow Sima Thorn Shi's battle strategy!"

"However, our army is new to the army, and we don't know anything about Guan Yu's Jingzhou army, and I hope that Sima Tingshi will delay the attack for a few days, and let our army launch a few tentative attacks first, and then launch a decisive battle after finding out the bottom of Guan Yu!"

"It's still Deng Sheng, but Sima is impatient, son, what do you think?"

Seeing that Wang Changle was like eating an egg, he looked at Deng Ai in a daze, but he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he had an indescribable appearance of bitterness, and the old Sima who was always eating deflated at Wang Hou's place found the field back from his daughter, and his heart was refreshed, and Sima Yi hugged Cao Zhang's fist again.

As Wang Houdang, Cao Zhang actually doesn't believe in Sima Yi in his heart, but he believes in Deng Ai very much, don't look at this kid's naivety, the real ghost ideas are one after another, it was his bad idea to fight and skip class in Penglai Academy before, seeing that he nodded, Cao Zhang also agreed.

"Since Staff Officer Deng has said so, let's follow Sima Assassin's words!"
