Just Lu Bu's princes have greatly involved a lot of Cao Jun's troops and energy, and Cao Cao has to be careful that Lu Bu will send troops to bite him back all the time.

Therefore, when he learned that Cao Cao and Sun Ce had formed an alliance and launched the Third Battle of Xuzhou, and was about to send reinforcements, Jin Jue had already expected that after the Third Battle of Xuzhou, Liu Beijun would still win the final victory.

However, at this time, the problem arises.

If Jin Jue is placed in Cao Cao's position after the war, then, when the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Cao Cao, how should he break the situation?

Soon, Jin Jue thought of two possibilities.

If Jin Jue was placed in Cao Cao's current position, there were two paths he could think of.

The first road, to the south.

Cao Cao should have made a decision immediately, immediately jumped out of the Central Plains, a place of four battles surrounded by strong enemies, took the initiative to abandon Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and took advantage of the civil strife in Jingzhou to send troops to attack Liu Biaojun and take Jingzhou.

As for whether Liu Bei will send troops to rescue Liu Biao, it will be very difficult for Jin Jue to come, because, at that time, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which were already undefended, were in front of Liu Bei, would he give up the big fat in front of him and not eat it

The second road, to the west.

Ignoring the alliance with Ma Teng in secret, Cao Cao directly sent troops to attack Guanzhong.

Once the land of Sanfu is taken, as long as Cao Cao sends troops to successfully block Hangu Pass and Wuguan, with the ability of him and his subordinate generals, at that time, no matter who brings troops, it will become extremely difficult to break through Hangu Pass, Tongguan or Wuguan, and then take Guanzhong, a place of four stops.

Even Jin Jue, a traverser, will also have a headache when he encounters this situation.

The level is not a city, if you don't use gunpowder or human lives to pile up, you want to win the entire three levels as easily as Jin Jue from Zhang Lu or Liu Zhang, anyway, Jin Jue doesn't have this ability.

The ability of Ma Teng's three sons is very worrying, fortunately, Ma Teng also knows that Hongnong County is very important to the land of Guanzhong Sanfu, and he stationed his subordinate general Pang De here to be responsible for guarding Hangu Pass and Tongguan, which will cause great difficulties for Cao Cao to lead troops to break into Guanzhong.

At the same time, once Cao's army is unable to break through these three passes in a short period of time, and then take the entire Sanfu land, the Lu Bu army in Hedong and Bingzhou will naturally not sit idly by, and will definitely help Ma Teng defend Hongnong County.

Therefore, if Jin Jue is allowed to choose, Cao Cao wants to get rid of the predicament he is facing now, and the first choice for a good choice is the first way - to seize Jingzhou in the south.

Therefore, the responsibility on Fu Tong and Fu Gan is very heavy.

Of course, Wei Yan's role in Runan County is not as insignificant as Jin Jue said.

After seizing the entire Runan Prefecture, Wei Yan's role here was to support Nanyang County or Xuzhou, which were attacked by Cao Cao, to the east or west.

If Cao Cao led his troops to attack Runan County, Fu Tong would have no way to support Wei Yan, but Liu Bei would have this ability, and he would definitely send troops to reinforce Wei Yan.

……

Just when the battle of Taishan County was about to begin;

Just when Wei Yan was about to launch a general attack on Yang'an County;

Just when the officials in Jingzhou were busy clearing up their relationship with Han Song;

Just when the magistrates of the counties north of Xinye County were busy forcibly relocating the people in and outside the county towns to the south of Hanshui

Fu Tong also began the first pledge meeting held in the wilderness since he became the commander of the First Army.

Before dusk came, it was less than three miles away from Luyang City.

Fu Tong stood in front of the soldiers of the whole army and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, this time is the first battle after our army entered Nanyang County, and it is also the first time that I myself led the army to attack the county seat. Therefore, when you march later, you, including Bentai, must be cautious and cautious enough, and you must not make any mistakes at this critical time, and then expose the whereabouts of our army.

Now, starting with Ben Taimori, everyone has a chopstick in their mouth and let's go! ”

Horses pick bells, people rank medals, this is the ancient army in the implementation of sneak attack warfare, the usual method.

Along the way, the whole army, from Fu Tong to every soldier in the army, was cautious in the process of marching. The closer they got to Luyang City, the more everyone behaved as little as possible without making any noise.

Finally, an hour later, the whole army arrived outside the south gate of Luyang City.

At Fu Tong's wave of his hand, the whole army stopped and rested for about a quarter of an hour.

At this time, Zhang Yingyou came to Fu Tong's side and asked in a low voice: "Fu Taishou, the last general is willing to lead the troops to capture the city first, please allow me." ”

When Fu Tong heard this, he looked up and down at Zhang Ying, shook his head, and said, "County Lieutenant Zhang, you are not qualified enough, as for why, after this battle, you will know." From now on, except for Ben Taishou, no one is allowed to speak again, Zhang Ying, if Ben Taishou hears you speak again, don't blame my warlord for being ruthless. ”

Zhang Ying was a little unconvinced, and when his father Zhang An saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and kicked him, and stuffed a chopstick into his son's mouth with his own hands.

After the successful siege of the city, the merits and rewards received were also the greatest, but the first army was the largest in the siege war, with the largest number of casualties.

Zhang Anke has experienced a lot of siege battles, fortunately, at that time, Zhang Yun was already a general under Liu Biao, and he had been serving as the captain of the guard beside Zhang Yun before, so he did not participate in this kind of errand of fighting for his life.

The reason why Zhang Yun sent him out was because Zhang An was a little old, and then serving as the captain of the guard by Zhang Yun's side, whether it was him or Zhang Yun himself, felt that it was a little inappropriate.

Having said so much, only Fu Tong himself knows that he attaches more importance to this battle than anyone present, and his ability to successfully capture Luyang City from Cao Jun is related to Jin Jue's grand strategy in Jingzhou.

On the surface, Fu Tong under Luyang City seemed very calm and calm, but in fact, at this time, his heart was beating much faster than anyone around him, and even his legs and hands were shaking lightly involuntarily.

The people around were attracted by the tense atmosphere before the war, and did not find the abnormality of Fu Tong, who was the main general, except for the veteran oil son Zhang An, however, even if Zhang An saw it, he just smiled and quietly breathed a long sigh of relief, such Fu Tong is like a normal person, the previous Fu Tong's performance was too perfect, and following such a person will inevitably cause great psychological pressure on the people around him.

You must know that at this moment, none of the 3,000 soldiers under Fu Tong are elite veterans of the Yellow Turban Army under Fu Tong or Wei Yan.
