"Hmm."

Lu Bu said: "The herald is white, and immediately occupy Cao Cao's lair, Xudu. Ordered Xu Shu to capture Guangcheng Pass as soon as possible, his current situation is extremely dangerous. All units of our army, traveling under the stars and nights, rushed to the Xu Metropolitan Division. ”

"No."

Jia Xu passed on the order.

A few days later.

Xu Shu's 1st Army arrived outside Guangcheng Pass.

However, he did not rush to attack Guangcheng Pass. Instead, outside Guangcheng Pass, set up camp. At various intersections, set up defensive lines. All the commanding heights, all occupied.

When you're done with everything...

Cao Ren, who was ordered to pursue Xu Shu, also arrived outside Guangcheng Pass.

Cao Ren had an army of 200,000 in his hands. Among them, 100,000 are volunteer soldiers and light cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. This is also the reason why he dared to pursue Xu Shu.

After arriving at Guangcheng Pass, he camped behind Xu Shu and competed with Xu Shu.

If Xu Shu dared to attack Guangcheng Pass, he would not hesitate to send 100,000 light cavalry to attack Xu Shu!

In the tent.

Han Xin, Song Xian, and Cao Xing stood aside.

Xu Shu opened a map, hung it behind him, and said, "The current situation is very unfavorable to us. Cao Ren's gang has 100,000 volunteers. As you should know, our 1st Army, although it is famous, can only frighten ordinary troops. Cao Ren has a heavy army, and he will not be afraid. If we really want to fight, we only have General Han Shin's 1st Army to fight. This worries me a little. ”

"Indeed..."

Song Xian also said: "Our second and third armies, although they are known as marching troops, the weapons in their hands are only three-bow and strong crossbows. The soldiers didn't even have a few grenades, so they were embarrassed. ”

Han Xin said: "My 1st Army, there is not much ammunition. It's better to do it quickly.... ”

Hearing this, everyone was saddened.

Xu Shu also racked his brains to think of countermeasures. What does it take to win?

After a while...

Xu Shu said: "In this way, we can only fight one battle." In this battle, not only had to repel Cao Ren, but also had to occupy Guangcheng Pass. ”

"Hmm."

Han Xin nodded and said, "That's right." With our current strength, we can only support a big war. Therefore, it is best to lure out Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu in Guangcheng Pass, and then eliminate them with Cao Ren! ”

This is easier said than done.

Song Xian and Cao Xing had no idea at all.

Xu Shu is also helpless.

"If it really doesn't work, let's attack it." Han Xin said.

"Assault?" Xu Shu sat down slowly: "What do you mean?" ”

Han Xin hugged his fists and said: "The last general means that the strength of the two divisions will be concentrated and the Guangcheng Pass will be stormed. If nothing else, you can kill it in two hours at most. The rest of our troops are all used to block Cao Ren. As long as you can hold on for two hours. When we capture Guangcheng Pass, then retreat to the city to garrison. Cao Ren's cavalry was no longer strong. ”

Cao Xing's eyes lit up, and he hugged his fist at Xu Shu and said, "General Han's method is very good. The last general was willing to lead the Third Army to block Cao Ren. ”

"The last general is also willing to go." Song Xian also said.

The two of them have always been in the same spirit. Cao Xing is only 30,000 troops, how can he stop Cao Ren? Coupled with his second army, although it was still clumsy, it finally gained some momentum.

"Let me think about it..."

Xu Shu was hesitant.

Among Cao Ren's 200,000 troops, in addition to 100,000 volunteer soldiers and light cavalry, there are also 100,000 foot soldiers. Among them were 50,000 shield soldiers. This was precisely the restraint of the artillery and arrows of the Forces nouvelles.

If there is really a war, I don't know if the Second Army and the Third Army can stop it?

Once the defense line is breached. Han Shin's 1st Army will be flanked from both sides. In the case of insufficient ammunition, the situation is bound to be dangerous. Besides, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu in Guangcheng Pass, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, had already been prepared to hold on, and it was not so easy for the 1st Army to attack it.

Considering many problems, Xu Shu finally did not agree to Han Xin's strong attack.

"Our army occupies the mountains outside Guangcheng Pass and has set up countless defensive lines. Although it was not enough to eliminate Cao Ren, it was feasible to hold on. I don't want to attack Guangcheng Pass for the time being. It was stationed here, and after Yue Fei and Lu Xun's 150,000 troops arrived, they would make plans. Xu Shu said.

"Sir, you're too careful." Han Xindao.

"The stakes are high, how can I not be careful?" Xu Shu advised: "You also remember that you are only allowed to hold on to all dangers, and you are not allowed to fight. Whoever fights without permission, even if he wins, will be punished heavily! ”

"No..."

The three of them hurriedly answered.

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

Due to Xu Shu's failure to fight, Cao Ren's 200,000 troops wanted to attack but did not dare, and they wanted to withdraw but were unwilling. confronted Xu Shu for four or five days, but he was helpless.

Until the sixth day.

Cao Cao and Sima Yi led more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, family members, and a cart of money and food, arrived outside Guangcheng Pass and joined Cao Ren.

Arriving at Cao Ren's military camp, Cao Cao was relieved.

In the past few days, in order to avoid the pursuit of Bai Qi and Xiang Yu, he didn't even dare to breathe. escaped from Xudu and went west, day and night, even cooking carefully.

Now that Cao Ren's army of 200,000 is here, the stone in Cao Cao's heart can finally land.

In the tent of the Chinese military camp.

Cao Cao summoned his advisors Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Sima Yi and others to discuss the next battle.

Is it to eliminate Xu Shu and enter the Guannai?

Or transfer to Dongjun, cross the Yellow River, and go to Hebei?

It's time to make a decision.

Everyone took their seats.

Cao Cao lay on a couch on his back, closed his eyes, and didn't say a word.

All the generals looked at Cao Cao.

Sima Yi wanted to open his mouth to persuade Cao Cao and give him some confidence. But even he didn't have confidence in himself, so how could he give Cao Cao confidence? Lu Bu led an army of one million and launched an all-out war against Cao Cao, who could stop it?

Xun Yu stood up, clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Both of them are in the dragon plate, and they are in a place of beauty, so don't throw them to Lu Bu." The minister suggested that he start a war against Xu Shu, eliminate Xu Shu, and enter Guangcheng Pass. ”

Xun You also said: "At least you have to drive Xu Shu away...... Or rush over. ”

Cheng Yu said: "Don't forget Wenruo and Gongda. There are also Yue Fei and Lu Xun in Xuanyuan Pass, they have 150,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and they are rushing to attack Xuanyuan Pass. Our troops at Xuanyuan Pass don't even have 20,000. If it is broken by Yue Fei and Lu Xun. Even if we can get into the gate, what's the point? Can you repel Yue Fei and Lu Xun? ”

"Hmph, Yue Fei and Lu Xun..." Xu Chu said: "They are not as strong as Bai Qi and Xiang Yu's soldiers and horses. I think it's not impossible to counterattack Xuanyuan Pass. ”

Xu Chu's words are generally not cared for.

But this sentence has won the hearts of the people.

Xun Yu first gave support: "If even Yue Fei and Lu Xun don't dare to fight, then how can they fight against Lu Bu?" ”
