Chapter 1236: Prepare to flank Li Tong
Xiapi County, located in the center of Xuzhou, is the county seat of Xiapi County.
Xu Shu led the army to capture Xiapi County and Guangling County, and moved the army to Xiapi County to facilitate the north. Up to now, Xu Shu led an army of 100,000 to sweep through Xuzhou and occupy most of Xuzhou, leaving only Donghai, Pengcheng, Langya and other places, and it won't be long before these places will fall into the hands of Xu Shu.
The county guard's house, in the study.
The door opened, and Jiang Qin hurriedly walked in, his face showing excitement.
Xu Shu looked up and saw Jiang Qin's face excited, his eyes flashed with deep joy, and asked with a smile: "Gongyi (Jiang Qinzi), what good news did you get that made you like this." β
Jiang Qin respectfully bowed to Xu Shu and arched his hand: "My lord, General Taishi Feige passed the book, he led the army to take Shouchun, and killed the Wei general Shi Lian, captured more than 36,000 Wei troops, and more importantly, Yangzhou commander Yu Ban surrendered, which was a bigger blow to Cao Cao. General Taishi asked your lord what to do with Yu Ban. β
"Okay, what a Tai Shi Ci."
Xu Shu was overjoyed, and his face also showed excitement.
He stood up and said in high spirits: "Fa Zheng and Zhao Yun led their army north to merge with the state, destroying 60,000 Wei troops, but they ran away from Sima Yi and did not hurt Xiahoudun; Pang Tong and Zhang Liao led their troops into Yuzhou, destroyed 80,000 Wei troops, and captured Gao Lan, but Cao Ren was still sitting in Ancheng and was not affected. However, Ziyi led the army to attack Shouchun, captured the commander Yu Ban, killed the general Shi Lian, and controlled Yangzhou, how majestic! Our army will not lose to them. β
After that, Xu Shu laughed loudly.
Such a brilliant record is worthy of Wang Can's trust. Xu Shu continued: "Yu Ban is temporarily detained in Shouchun, and when the news is reported to His Majesty, please make a decision. β
Jiang Qin nodded and said, "My lord, we took Yangzhou and captured most of Xuzhou, this is the result of your strategy, and your lordship is indispensable." β
These words also came from Jiang Qin's heart.
Xu Shu smiled and asked, "Gongyi, what else did Ziyi say?" β
Jiang Qin Zhengse said: "General Taishi also said that although the army won, the casualties were very large, and more than 8,000 soldiers died. The main reason is that Shi Jianning did not surrender to the death, and led 4,000 Wei troops to resist desperately, causing huge casualties. General Taishi is the master of the burial of Shi Lian, please forgive me. β
Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning." β
As soon as the topic changed, Xu Shu asked: "Li Tong led 60,000 Wei troops to support Xuzhou, where did he go?" β
Jiang Qin replied, "My lord, I've arrived in Gaoshan County. β
"Gaoshan County?"
Xu Shu muttered, walked to the map hanging on the wall, and pondered carefully for a while. Gradually, a bright smile appeared on Xu Shu's face and shouted, "Someone! β
An attendant walked in and stood with a bow.
Xu Shu instructed: "Inform Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, and let the two of them come to the study immediately to discuss the matter." β
"No!!"
The attendant turned away and immediately went to deliver the order.
Jiang Qin asked, "My lord, do you want to fight Li General now?" β
Xu Shu nodded and said: "Ziyi captured Shouchun and took Yangzhou, and Xuzhou also occupied most of it, leaving Li Tong's 60,000 Wei troops." If Li Tong is not resolved, there will be a situation of a country within a country, and it is very likely that we will make trouble. In order to prevent Li Tong from affecting the overall situation, it is necessary to deal with Li Tong first, and then attack the rest of Xuzhou. β
The two were talking, and it wasn't long before hurried footsteps came from outside the study.
Gan Ning clenched his fists and said, "Mr. Xu, is there another war?" β
Xu Shu nodded and said, "Li Tong led 60,000 Wei troops to Gaoshan County, and I am ready to send troops to solve Li Tong." The two of you have mobilized 60,000 troops from the army and are ready to go south to Gaoshan County. β
Xu Shu led his army to capture Xiapi County and Guangling County, and collected as many as 50,000 or 60,000 troops, or even more. With these soldiers as a source of soldiers, the soldiers lost in the siege and plundering have long been made up. He sent 60,000 troops south, and left 40,000 troops to defend Xiapi County to avoid a counterattack.
Gan Ning said confidently: "Sir, don't worry, Youping and I immediately transferred troops and prepared to send troops to Gaoshan County." β
The two came and went quickly, and left as if they were flying.
Jiang Qin knew the temper of the two, smiled faintly, and asked, "My lord, what should I do?" β
Xu Shu said: "You have three things, the first is to sit in Xiapi County. Although your martial arts are not as good as Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, your ability to coordinate the overall situation is not weak, and you can take the overall situation into account. If you stay in Xiapi County, I can rest assured that I can lead the army south. β
Jiang Qin was excited when he heard this, and said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, Jiang Qin will definitely defend Xiapi County." β
Xu Shu bowed slightly, and said: "The second thing, you immediately fly a pigeon to send a letter to Your Majesty, and report the war between Yangzhou and Xuzhou, indicating that Yangzhou has been captured, and Xuzhou will be captured in the near future." β
"The third thing is to send a message to Lu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, ordering him to lead the army into Shouchun and control the situation in Yangzhou. Then send a letter to Tai Shi Ci, let him stabilize the situation as soon as possible, and after Lu Xun led people into Shouchun, Tai Shi Ci immediately withdrew his troops, pursued Li Tong, blocked Li Tong's back road, and flanked the Wei army with us. β
Xu Shu said: "Gongyi, please leave everything in Xiapi to you." β
Jiang Qin nodded with a red face, and the feeling of being entrusted with a heavy task was different.
β¦β¦
The Shu army and the Wei army still maintained the status quo and did not change anything. Cao Cao did not force the attack, and Wang Can did not take the initiative to attack, and the main generals of the two sides confronted each other, as if they wanted to see who could hold out to the end.
At the same time, countless news came from various places, all of which were beneficial to the Shu army.
During this period of time, Shi A was very busy.
News came from all over the place, it was good news, there was no defeat of the army.
On this day, he received the news from Xu Shu in the south, and after reading the news, Shi Ah seemed to have taken stimulants, walked lightly, and quickly entered Wang Can's Chinese army tent.
When Wang Can saw Shi A coming, he asked with a smile, "What's the good news?" β
Shi A handed the news to Wang Can, and after Wang Can read it, he was also fluttering and very excited
Shi Ah smiled and said: "Your Majesty, now the three armies of Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou have won, and each road has achieved extraordinary results. Cao Jun has been defeated in successive battles, I really don't know if Cao Cao can stand it? β
"I can't stand it, and I have to hold it."
Wang Can laughed and said loudly: "Starting from Fazheng, to Pang Tong, and then to Xu Shu, one is really more fierce than the other. After the Fa was corrected, the people behind were all holding back, and they all wanted to achieve greater results, and their hands were getting bigger and bigger. β
"Fa Zheng wiped out Sima Yi's 60,000 army, and the results were remarkable."
"As soon as Pang Tong and Zhang Liao made a move, they not only captured Gao Lan, but also destroyed 80,000 Wei troops, which is even more powerful."
"It was Xu Shu's turn to make the last move, it was no longer a question of how many Wei troops were destroyed, he directly captured Yangzhou, captured the commander of the Wei army, Yu Ban, and killed the general Shi Lian. The capture of Yangzhou is already quite a good result, but what? Xu Shu has already taken most of Xuzhou. Looking at Xu Shu's tone again, he will soon take Xuzhou, the tone is so big! β
Wang Can spoke, but his face couldn't hide his excitement.
He did not attack Cao Cao, and the victories of Fa Zheng, Pang Tong and Xu Shu alone were enough for Cao Cao to hold back for a while. In the long run, Cao Cao doesn't have to send troops, and the rear is all rotten.
Shi A asked, "Your Majesty, do you want Lu Meng to tell Cao Cao the news?" β
Wang Can pointed at Shi Ah and quipped: "Shi Ah Ah, you are pouring salt on Cao Cao's wounds." However, when it was time to sprinkle salt, he had to sprinkle salt, and inform Amon that he should go with the archers and reveal the news. β
Shi Ah smiled evilly: "Yes, the minister will arrange it." β
After saying that, Shi Ah turned around and left the big tent.
Wang Can sat in the big tent, looking at the map hanging in the big tent, and a smile appeared on his face.
The war between Yuzhou and Yangzhou can come to an end, and the next thing is mainly the news of the state and the law. Especially when Fa Zheng dealt with Sima Yi, he had to work hard to take Jizhou and Youzhou.
β¦β¦
In the camp of the Wei army, LΓΌ Meng and the archers raged and left quickly. With the first two incidents, the Wei soldiers were already accustomed to it and did not panic. Cao Cao had already given an order to strictly prohibit the soldiers from opening the note, but countless bows and arrows were shot into the camp at will, and there were always some bows and arrows that were not put away, and the news would still leak out.
It didn't take long for the war in Yangzhou and Xuzhou to spread throughout the camp.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, it was silent.
Cao Cao sat above, his face sinking like water, and sat quietly without speaking.
The ministers below also didn't dare to interject.
After a long time, Cao Cao looked up at the Wenchen generals in the big tent, and said nonchalantly: "Yu Ban, as the commander of Yangzhou, actually surrendered to Wang Can, which is really unexpected. β
The crowd did not dare to speak, but listened quietly.
Cao Cao asked, "Sima Lang, has Xiahou Yuan arrived in Xuzhou?" β
Sima Lang replied: "Back to Your Majesty, General Xiahou has arrived in Xuzhou and is stabilizing the situation. β
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "If Xuzhou is lost, it will really be stormy." β
When everyone heard this, they all felt an inexplicable sense of depression and felt uncomfortable. The Shu army won successive battles, but they lost one battle after another, and they were even more defeated worse and worse.
The Wei State, which is half of the country, is really on the cusp.
Ps: The third watch is completed, and there are more than 10,000 flowers, thank you, and sincerely thank you.
