Chapter 572: The Battle of Destroying Cao (34)

During the banquet.

Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops in Yanzhou are not elite. It's just that he stayed in Yanzhou to deal with the lord, trying to delay time, waiting for Liu Bei to come to help, by the way... Heavy damage to the lord. The lord should tell the soldiers on the front line not to judge the enemy's situation with common sense, for fear that Cao Cao will win by surprise. ”

"No wonder..."

Yuan Xi thought about it. Cao Cao's soldiers who stayed in Yanzhou did not have many elites, and they never fought big battles. The only time he confronted the trial was to use an army of 100,000 as bait and introduce an ambush.

It can be seen that Cao Cao himself knows that his army in Yanzhou is not the opponent of the Hebei army.

Yuan Xi asked: "I don't know where Cao Cao's elite is now?" ”

Jia Xu said: "In the nine counties of Jingxiang and the land of Guanzhong, there are still 200,000 troops, which can be called elite. The 150,000 soldiers who entered Bingzhou with Cao Ren can also be called elite, and they are still the elite most loyal to Cao Cao. Therefore, it is not advisable to issue them weapons in the following sections, which is to be considered. ”

Yuan Xi believed that what Jia Xu said was true, and raised the wine bottle: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, please drink this bottle." ”

"Thank you, Lord for the wine."

Jia Xu drank it all.

Gao Ran arched his hand and said: "My lord, if Cao Cao's troops in Yanzhou are empty, then he has already planned to abandon Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Then raise the soldiers of Guanzhong and Jingxiang, and plan to strike later. ”

Jia Xu said: "What General Gao Ran said is that this is exactly Cao Cao's plan. ”

"Is it Cao Cao's plan, or is it Mr.'s plan?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

"Uh..." Jia Xu said truthfully: "It is a strategy formulated by Xia and Sima Yi. First, he sent 150,000 troops to seize the state and march to Jiyou, in an attempt to force the lord to retreat to Hebei. The two will transfer all the elites to Jingxiang and Guanzhong, reserve forces, and plan to strike later. The three led all the weak brigades, relying on the fortifications built on the front line, resisting the Hebei army, delaying time, and waiting for Liu Xuande to arrive, and then inflicting heavy losses on the Hebei army. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Sir's plan is even more ancient. If he hadn't told him, I would never have guessed. ”

"Dare to ask the lord, can Liu Bei's army cross the Wei River?" Jia Xu was very worried. Liu Bei has 300,000 male soldiers, and once he joins forces with Cao Cao, his forces in the Central Plains will be superior to the Hebei army.

In this way, if Yuan Xi wants to win, it will be more and more difficult.

"We've already crossed the Wei River."

"It's... What about Jiang Wei? Jia Xu asked urgently.

"Jiang Wei went to fetch Xiliang."

"Why did he go to fetch Xiliang..." Jia Xu said: "Xiliang is a barren land, far away in the northwest. There is no food and grass, no soldiers, and no strategic necessity. It takes time and effort to take Xiliang, but it is not beneficial to the overall situation. Why not recall Jiang Wei, cross the Wei River, enter Wuguan, even if you can't seize the important place of Chang'an, you should also drag the elite of Cao Caoguan. ”

Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "What Wen He said is extremely true. It's just that Jiang Wei has already gone to take Xiliang, and I received news the day before yesterday that he has captured the three counties of Longxi and is sending troops to Jincheng. If you bring him back at this time, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate. Wouldn't it be good to let him continue to take Xiliang and cut off Cao Cao's retreat. ”

"Yes."

Jia Xu did not argue with Yuan Xi.

Because Yuan Xi is strong, without Jiang Wei's tens of thousands of people, he can also establish great achievements.

"I wonder what the lord will do next?" Jia Xu asked.

"Order Hao Zhao to recover the entire territory of the state. I personally led the army back to the front line and fought Cao Cao. Yuan Xi said.

"That's very good." Jia Xu nodded.

Hao Zhao got up and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

...............

At present, the armies of Cao Cao and Liu Bei have appeared, but only Sun Quan in Jiangdong has not moved. However, the battle of annexing the state has turned the world upside down, and more than 50,000 soldiers and horses have been transferred. When Sun Quan learned about it, he thought the time was ripe. He called Zhou Yu to ask for advice.

Zhou Yu had long been looking forward to sending troops, so he said: "My lord, the Yuan army and the Cao army fought in Huainan for Yangzhou. If I send troops from Liyang, I can easily seize Hefei, and then approach Shouchun and seize the forbidden foundation. This praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, not only to help Cao Cao, but also to capture Yangzhou. ”

"Are you sure?" Sun Quan knew that he had few soldiers, so he hesitated.

"Please rest assured, the lord will not be able to go to Yangzhou, and he will not return Jiangdong." Zhou Yu said.

"Okay...." Sun Quan was thinking at this time that the army and navy under Zhou Yu, about 50,000 people, were all convinced of Zhou Yu. And his newly recruited troops are more than 20,000 and are still being trained. If Zhou Yu is defeated, he can take advantage of the situation to control all the military power in Jiangdong. Of course, he also hopes that Zhou Yu will win, so that the land of Yangzhou can be won.

Sun Quan said: "Please return to the barracks as soon as possible, and send troops on the same day." ”

"Yes."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed.

He has been following the war in Yangzhou and knows that now is the best time. Even without Sun Quan's order, he would have led his army there. Now that Sun Quan personally ordered it, he is even more justifiable.

Return to the camp.

Zhou Yu ordered his troops and horses, crossed the river at night, and attacked Hefei.

The generals stationed in Hefei were Yu Ban's subordinates, with no more than 3,000 soldiers and weak strength, and after being attacked by Zhou Yu, they only held out for half an hour before they were broken.

Then Hefei was lost.

The door of Yangzhou was opened, and Zhou Yu drove straight into Shouchun.

This change caused Yu Ban, who was fighting in Huainan, to be attacked on both sides. It was necessary to fight with Cao's army in Huainan, and to guard against Zhou Yu's attack on Shouchun. In desperation, he led his army back to Shouchun.

Because there are money villages, rice grains, and baggage in Shouchun City, which are extremely important. Once it is captured by Zhou Yu, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Zhou Yu is coming today, and there are 50,000 people, all of whom are Jiangdong elites. With our troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist. The general can send someone to Xuzhou and ask General Yan Liang for help. On the march, Li Dian said.

Yu Ban pondered for a moment and refused: "No." Yan Liang was fighting in Chenliu, and his troops could not be recovered for a while. If you rush to ask for help, it may affect the overall situation. Again... I was ordered to garrison Yangzhou, and I failed to conquer Huainan before, and now I can't defeat Zhou Yu, what face do you have to see the lord? I am determined to defend Shouchun, even if I can't recover Yangzhou, I won't let Zhou Yu take a step forward. ”

"General, Zhou Yu is far from Huainan Li Tong, he is resourceful and good at leading troops, in case..." Lejin worried.

Yu Ban stopped the frame and said, "Two generals, after we return to Shouchun, we will block all the city gates." No matter how Zhou Yu lures, even if he throws away all his weapons and sticks out his head outside the city, let us cut it down, we won't go. I don't believe he can storm the city? Don't forget, we also have tens of thousands of troops, and the high walls of Shouchun City are thick, how can he break it? ”

"Ugh...."

Li Dian and Le Jin both said: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders." ”

Yu Ban led the army back to Shouchun City.

Zhou Yu's army was outside the city, but it did not attack the city.

Afterwards.

Yu Ban issued several military orders, sealing the city gates and prohibiting entry and exit. The guards everywhere in Shouchun were not allowed to fight without receiving an order from Yu Ban.

In order to delay time, Yu Ban wrote a letter to Zhou Yu.

The letter was full of small talk, but in fact nothing was said. But Yu Ban revealed that he had the intention of returning to Jiangdong. This made Zhou Yu very happy.
