There are not many generals in Tao Qian, and it is the Xuzhou generals Cao Bao and Mi Fang who are dispatched this time.

Xuzhou also has the general Zang Ba, which is probably the only thing Tao Qian can show his hand to, but this time Zang Ba did not come out.

Cao Bao and Mi Fang each brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, and came in two armies.

When they arrived outside Huaiyin City, Zhang Yu had long since disappeared.

The two bumped together, and then Cao Bao said: "General Mi, the lord let us enter Huaiyin City, but this Zhu Qian was unwilling to open the city gate. ”

Cao Bao arrived first and wanted to enter the city, but was rejected by Zhu Qian.

"Why don't we just knock it down." Mi Fang said.

Cao Bao was moved, but he didn't dare to act rashly because he thought of Tao Qian's instructions before leaving.

Tao Qian asked them to find a way to occupy Huaiyin City, but they couldn't take it down.

The two sides used force, and it was easy to be caught, and Zhang Yu was still on the side at that time, and they were also afraid that Zhang Yu would sneak attack them.

After thinking about it, Cao Bao said: "We will leave 20,000 soldiers and horses to watch, and we will solve Zhang Yu first." ”

The two are Tao Qian's henchmen, so they naturally know about Zhu Qian and Tao Qian's dirtyness.

After some discussion, the two continued southward to recover the city occupied by Zhang Yu.

Many cities, Zhang Yu and they have already evacuated, an empty city, there is nothing to want.

Cao Bao and Mi Fang easily captured many cities, but they were empty cities.

Although it was an empty city, it did not prevent them from reporting to Tao Qian.

"Hmph, this Zhang Yu is not very good, in front of my Xuzhou army, I don't have to run away." Tao Qian said happily after receiving the news.

Yes, Zhang Yu disappeared, and Tao Qian thought he had escaped.

And did Zhang Yu really run away from the wind?

Of course not.

When Cao Bao and Mi Fang came, he asked the infantry to go back first and defend the city together, while he took Dian Wei to hide quietly in the mountains.

After the two of them left with the army, Zhang Yu was still hiding in the mountains.

Xuzhou's army headed south, targeting the cities that Zhang Yu had captured along the Yangtze River.

The two took 80,000 soldiers and horses all the way south.

"General Mi, this battle is a good opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves, we didn't have a chance to perform in the previous extermination of the Yellow Turban and the battle against Dong, this time we must not miss it." Cao Bao said confidently.

Mi Fang was also very proud, he said: "That's nature, defeat Zhang Yu, it's difficult for us not to become famous." ”

Both of them are extremely conceited people, plus they have a large army, and they don't take Zhang Yu seriously at all.

All the way south, in two days, it is estimated that you can get there.

At this time, in the mountains of dozens of miles north of Huaiyin, Zhang Yu and the others have been hiding there.

It is a small mountain range, not high and not dangerous, but there are many dense forests.

Zhang Yu: They hid inside for five or six days without being discovered.

"Lord, it's almost moldy when you hide here, when are we going out?" Dian Wei asked for the first time in the past few days.

This time, Zhang Yu didn't let him wait, but said: "Act when it's dark." ”

Yes, Zhang Yu is going to act, and he is hiding here to make a big one.

When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately became excited.

Then start preparing.

At night, Zhang Yu and the others came out quietly.

"Lord, where are we going?" After setting off, Dian Wei still didn't know where Zhang Yu was going, only that he wanted to make a big one.

"Xiapi City." Zhang Yu said three words lightly.

Dian Wei's expression on the night road froze for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Haha, go and catch Tao Qian's old man, this is good, who called him so arrogant." ”

Yes, Zhang Yu's target is Picheng, the seat of Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu and the others set off all the way, and when the road was almost dawn, it was only more than two hundred miles away from Xiapi City.

Xiapi City was not far from Guangling County, and it didn't take long for their cavalry to hurry.

After resting for half a day, Zhang Yu and they set off again.

"My lord, we seem to have been discovered." It didn't take long for Zhang Yu and them to be discovered.

This is the hinterland of Xuzhou, and it is difficult not to be discovered.

"Hit with me, and kill all the way to Xiapi City." Now that he was discovered, there was no need for Zhang Yu to sneak around, and he was ready to rush to kill with someone.

The cavalry began to advance rapidly.

After walking for less than half an hour, Zhang Yu and the others encountered someone blocking the road, and a group of 3,000 soldiers and horses built a defense on the main road.

Three thousand soldiers and horses, although they had already prepared, but Zhang Yu and they had 20,000 cavalry, and they scattered them after a few charges.

However, Zhang Yu also spent more than an hour in order to control the casualties.

Zhang Yu asked Dian Wei to arrest a few people for interrogation.

"My lord, we found out about the situation this morning, but we can't be sure, they found traces of a large number of cavalry activities, so they fortified here."

Zhang Yu and they traveled at night and rested during the day, although no one found them, but a large number of traces exposed their whereabouts after dawn.

The other party could not be sure, but he could guess, so he fortified again.

"This is the hinterland of Xuzhou, and there is no way to be discovered, this has long been discovered. Regardless of those who were scattered, we continued to set off. After understanding the situation, Zhang Yu did not flinch.

Continue with the army.

An hour later, Zhang Yu and the others encountered someone blocking the road again.

The other party already knew that Zhang Yu was coming, and he also knew that their goal was to go down, so he defended desperately, but the time was in a hurry and it was too late.

In Xiapi City, Tao Qian received news in the evening.

"No, it's impossible, what does Zhang Yu want to do, what do he want to do." Tao Qian screamed in fright.

Tao Qian was frightened and hurriedly recruited Chen Gui, Zang Ba and Mi Zhu.

"Tell me, can you block Zhang Yu, can you block Zhang Yu." Tao Qian also knew that Zhang Yu was coming for him, and went straight all the way, preparing to kill the inside of Picheng.

When a few people heard the news, they were also very shocked, Zhang Yu actually wanted to attack Picheng and kill him directly.

"What kind of person did we provoke, he is the Great Demon King, and he is really the Great Demon King." Mi Zhu said with his foot.

Chen Gui was also dumbfounded, they had thought about many situations, and they also thought that Cao Bao would be ambushed by Zhang Yu on the front line, and they would suffer a big loss, but they didn't think that Zhang Yu would kill directly in Xiapi City.

Zang Ba was shocked and said: "Lord, it's no problem at all, we have 50,000 defenders in Xiapi City, the city is high and thick, Zhang Yu must be using cavalry to raid, and he can't attack our Xiapi City." ”

As soon as Zang Ba said, Tao Qian calmed down a little, and it was indeed not easy to go down to Picheng.

"This Zhang Yu is simply no one in his eyes, isn't he afraid of being surrounded?" Tao Qian said.

Tao Qian thought of what happened to Yuan Shao again, as if Zhang Yu was really not afraid of anything.

Thinking that Jizhou was seriously damaged, Tao Qian regretted it for a while, what did he do to provoke such a big demon king.

Even if he can't capture Xiapicheng, the whole of Xuzhou doesn't know what to make trouble with him.

Generally, if you go deep into the enemy's hinterland, what you are most afraid of is not being surrounded, the vast land, it is not easy to encircle, only the grain road will be easily cut off, but Zhang Yu is not worried about the food problem at all, he is with cavalry, and it is not simple to encircle him.
