Yes, the whole war is to go according to Zhang Yu's rhythm.

At the beginning, Zhang Yu formed a coalition army and crossed the Yangtze River.

After that, the Quartet exerted its strength, so that Yuan Shudu was about to fall into a situation where there were no soldiers available.

After that, Cao Cao announced that he would send troops, and the general trend was coming.

Zhang Yu immediately adjusted his rhythm, and even changed his purpose.

Previously, Zhang Yu's goal was to destroy Yuan Shu and carve up Yuan Shu.

But after Cao Cao also came, Zhang Yu didn't want to destroy Yuan Shu, and even wanted to protect Yuan Shu.

Therefore, Zhang Yu wanted to go to Cao Cao's rear.

However, Zhang Yu never suffers losses, although he wants to protect Yuan Shu, he also has to squeeze out enough benefits.

In other words, this Yuan Shu is about to be squeezed dry by Zhang Yu.

He believed that if he broke through to the rear, Cao Cao would definitely retreat.

But Zhang Yu has a good grasp of time.

When he first entered Yanzhou, Cao Cao immediately stormed Cai and Yingshang.

There is a price to be paid for a strong attack and a fierce attack, and it is at the cost of increasing casualties.

After that, Zhang Yu began to plan to go to Xuchang, and there was also a time difference in between.

In this time difference, Cao Cao will definitely make a wrong judgment.

Sure enough, Cao Cao immediately began to storm Shouchun City.

Shouchun, no matter how it is Yuan Shu's lair, the defense is naturally very good.

On the first day of the onslaught, Cao Cao paid the price of more than 10,000 soldiers.

This is a bit costly, which is also because Cao Cao didn't think too much about it.

How could Cao Cao consider that Zhang Yu would be crazy enough to go deep into the interior of Yanzhou and go to Xuchang.

Therefore, Cao Cao was naturally an onslaught.

The day after Cao Cao's onslaught on Xuchang, Yuan Shuna suddenly got a message.

After Yuan Shu received the news, he was suspicious and shocked, and summoned his henchmen on a small scale.

"According to the news, Zhang Yu is leading troops to Xuchang, tell me, what is this Zhang Yu going to do?" Yuan Shu said.

In the main hall, there were seven or eight people sitting, all of whom were Yuan Shu's henchmen, and it was not easy for him to publicly discuss such news.

The crowd couldn't tell the idea.

In the end, Yang Hong came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is news that his subordinates have not reported it, and now I think I can prove it." ”

Yuan Shu glanced at Yang Hong, if there was anything he dared not report, this was the crime of bullying the king.

But at this time, the entire force is in great danger, and punishing Yang Hong will make people panic, so Yuan Shu did not attack.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates sent an envoy to Jiangdong before and met Guo Jia. Guo Jia Yanming, originally their goal was to destroy us, but because Cao Cao was appointed as the chief manager, Zhang Yu didn't want Cao Cao to make a contribution, so he wanted to dismantle the stage. ”

"The minister originally thought that this was just Zhang Yu to blackmail us into deliberately saying so, so he didn't dare to report it to His Majesty, but now the situation seems to have changed."

After Yang Hong finished reporting, Yuan Shu knew why he didn't dare to say it before.

Zhang Yu was too blind to anyone and didn't take himself seriously at all.

In this way, how dare Yang Hong report to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's face turned blue, then turned red, and finally turned iron blue.

He is an emperor with an army of millions, and finally becomes a bargaining chip for several parties.

Yuan Shu felt that he was the prey, and he was manipulated by a few hunters at will, which made Yuan Shu, who had been very arrogant since he was a child, unbearable.

"From this point of view, this Zhang Yu really wants to go deep into Cao Cao's rear, or even attack Xuchang." Yuan Shu concluded.

"Your Majesty, this is an opportunity, we are prepared in advance, and when Cao Cao retreats, we will suddenly attack, inflict heavy losses on Cao Cao, and tell the world that our strength is still there, so that the Quartet will be afraid of those who are eyeing us." Yang Hong came out and said.

Yuan Shu agreed on the spot.

Immediately, the order was passed to Ji Ling.

"Fight back?"

Ji Ling was also very shocked when he received the news of the counterattack, and hurriedly got down from the city and went to Yuan Shu to confirm.

After confirming, Ji Ling was a little excited.

As a general, as a military general, he was pressed and beaten from the beginning, and Ji Ling was also very depressed.

Cao Cao has a lot of military generals, this time he dispatched a large army, bringing two-thirds of the generals, just a few Cao generals and Xiahou generals are not Ji Ling can deal with, so until the war, he has not gone out of the city to fight.

Now here's your chance.

"Give me the wall."

"Go to the storehouse and get 100,000 arrows."

"Let the archers not save arrows, but use as many arrows as you can."

After coming back, Ji Ling hurriedly gave a few orders.

Let his subordinate lieutenants and others command separately, and Ji Ling personally prepare for a counterattack.

On the same day, the defenses in the city were suddenly strengthened, and the Yuan army attacked fiercely, causing Cao Cao to suffer a lot of losses.

On this day, just half a day later, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses lost more than 10,000, and this loss made Cao Cao feel painful.

"Zhongde, there is a way to break through the city gate quickly, and I am always uneasy in my heart." Cao Cao called Cheng Yu alone and said.

Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "This Shouchun is Yuan Shu's last reliance, they must defend to the death, it is impossible to break through in a short time, if the lord gives his subordinates three months, he is sure to break through Shouchun City at a relatively small cost of casualties." ”

Cao Cao was very disappointed when he heard this, and he himself understood that it was very difficult.

There was no way, Cao Cao attacked for two more days in a row, but in these two days, the morale of Yuan's army was obviously much higher, and at the same time, the counterattack was also fierce.

At first, Cao Cao thought that Yuan Shu had personally come to the city, and then promised something, or an army or something.

In two days, Cao Cao lost nearly 30,000 people.

In the past two days, Cao Cao personally went to the battlefield every day to supervise the battle and observe the battlefield.

On this day, he had just returned from the battlefield to his big tent.

Cao Cao kept frowning, and his heart was uneasy.

After nightfall, Cao Cao also sat alone in the big tent, and there was no major event to let his subordinates disturb him.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

On this expedition, he was forced to quickly complete the combat goal, so many methods could not be used, so he suffered great losses.

If there is time, attack slowly, everything is ready, and the losses can be reduced to less than half.

"No, what's wrong?"

"After the expedition, I felt a sense of urgency in everything, as if the rhythm was being pulled."

Cao Cao couldn't sit still when he thought of this, pacing back and forth in the big tent.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

There was a dull sound of footsteps in the distance, and Cao Cao's heart trembled.

The rush of these footsteps must not be good news.

"Report to the lord, urgent information."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the anxious voices of soldiers to be heard outside the tent.

After being nervous, Cao Cao calmed down instead.

"Bring it in." Cao Cao said.

The soldiers entered the tent, gave Cao Cao a piece of information, and then retreated to wait.

"Ah~ Zhang Yu pits me." After reading the information, Cao Cao shouted.

The soldiers who gave the order, as well as several guards outside the tent, were all startled, they rarely saw Cao Cao lose his temper.
