Guo Chongtao led 100,000 troops to rescue Xuzhou.

Guo Chongtao was walking on the road, and he inquired about the affairs of Xuzhou.

As soon as Guo Chongtao inquired about the matter in Xuzhou, he was in a hurry.

Guo Chongtao heard that Xu Zhihao led 150,000 horses to wait for him there, and Xu Zhihao also sent Xu Tianshun to lead 50,000 horses to fight Yanzhou.

After Guo Chongtao heard these two news, his heart was so anxious!

In particular, Guo Chongtao heard the news that Xu Zhihao sent Xu Tianshun to lead 50,000 horses to fight Yanzhou.

Guo Chongtao said: Yanzhou is only 1,000 people, Xu Tianshun led 50,000 horses to fight Yanzhou, can Yanzhou be kept?

is here in Xuzhou, Guo Chongtao is also very anxious.

Here in Xuzhou, Xu Zhihao has 150,000 horses waiting for him there, he only has 100,000 horses, whether he can deal with Xu Zhihao's 150,000 horses, there is a big doubt!

******

Guo Chongtao thought to himself, what should I do at this time?

Guo Chongtao thought about it, and he finally came up with an idea.

Just when he was still fifty miles away from Xuzhou, Guo Chongtao suddenly stopped the people and horses and didn't move forward.

At this time, Guo Chongtao sent a general.

At this time, it was evening.

*******

Guo Chongtao picked up a big order: "Li Cunba listens to the order!" ”

"In!"

Li Cunba stepped forward.

Guo Chongtao ordered: "Li Cunba, the prime minister will give you 20,000 horses and order you to take Huainan." Only success, no failure! ”

"Yes!"

Li Cunba hurriedly agreed.

******

However, at this time, Li Cunba was a little unhappy.

Guo Chongtao asked Li Cunba to lead 20,000 people, but Li Cunba was a little unhappy.

Li Cunba thought that there were too many people for him.

Li Cunbaxin said: Huainan City is only 5,000 people, and Huainan's guard Shan Fu is also an incompetent person, let me fight Huainan, can I use so many people? I'm a hero. I'm not a rice bucket.

Li Cunba spoke: "Prime Minister Guo, you don't need to give me so many people, there are 5,000 people in Huainan City, you just give me 5,000 people." ”

Guo Chongtao said: "If you give you 20,000 people, there must be a reason to give you 20,000 people." I haven't finished what I said just now. After you take down Huainan, you will lead 20,000 people to guard there. After you take Huainan, the Wu army will inevitably recapture Huainan. This is the same as letting you swear to keep Huainan to the death! ”

"Yes!"

Li Cunba heard this. He also felt the courage on his shoulders to be heavy: just to take Huainan is easy. What if the Wu army recaptures Huainan? The Wu army has a total of 150,000, do you know how many people the Wu army will send to recapture Huainan?

Guo Chongtao said to Li Cunba again: "Remember, when the Wu army recaptured Huainan, it was only allowed to defend and not fight!" You can hold Huainan in one piece. You can't hold Huainan, military law is engaged! ”

Li Cunba said: "Yes! ”

******

Then, Guo Chongtao picked up another big order: "Li Cunxiao listens to the order!" ”

"In!"

Li Cunxiao also came out.

Guo Chongtao ordered: "Li Cunxiao." Benxiang also gave you an army of 20,000 and ordered you to go and take Yancheng. It is also only allowed to succeed, not to fail! ”

"Yes!"

Li Cunxiao agreed.

Li Cunxiao didn't ask much.

Obviously, the situation of Li Cunxiao's taking of Yancheng and Li Cunba's taking of Huainan is the same.

******

Then, Guo Chongtao said to Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao again: "Two General Li, after you take Huainan and Yancheng this time, whether you can hold Yancheng and Huainan is related to the success or failure of our war." I hope that after you take Huainan and Yancheng, you will definitely defend Huainan and Yancheng. ”

Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao replied: "Yes! ”

Guo Chongtao also instructed Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao: "The future battle situation is very complicated. In the future, the Prime Minister's side will not be by your side, and the Prime Minister hopes that you will take care of each other in the future. In a word, I wanted you to defend Huainan and Yancheng in the future. ”

Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao said: "Yes! ”

******

Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao each led 20,000 troops to take Huainan and Yancheng.

What about Guo Chongtao?

Guo Chongtao did not continue in the direction of Xuzhou, he led the remaining 60,000 people to Yanzhou.

Guo Chongtao did not clash with Xu Zhihao head-on.

This is also called avoiding the real and attacking the false.

Isn't Xu Zhihao amazing? Isn't Xu Zhihao a lot of soldiers? I'm not going to clash with me and you head-on.

Guo Chongtao's plan is quite powerful!

Guo Chongtao's strategy of letting Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao take Huainan and Yancheng is very high.

Why did Xu Zhihao take Huainan first, Yancheng first, and then Xuzhou before?

That's because Huainan and Yancheng were the only way for the Wu army to go from Wu to Xuzhou.

If Huainan and Yancheng are lost. Wu Jun didn't even have a way back.

As soon as Huainan and Yancheng were lost, Xu Zhihao must be anxious.

Because their grain and grass were brought to him through Huainan or Yancheng.

If Huainan and Yancheng were lost, his grain and grass would not be able to be transported.

*******

Let's talk about Li Cunba first.

Li Cunba was ordered to take Huainan.

Li Cunba led 20,000 people to the direction of Huainan.

When Li Cunba arrived at the city of Huainan, he attacked the city.

******

Let's talk about Huainan guard Shan Fu.

After Shan Fu and Xu Tianci took Huainan, Xu Zhihao asked Shan Fu to lead 5,000 people to guard Huainan.

Later, Xu Zhihao deceived Li Cunqing. Xu Zhihao asked Xu Tianci to return to the army to save Huainan, which was a play played by Xu Zhihao to Li Cunqing.

At that time, in order to play a good trick, Xu Tianci also returned to the army.

But Xu Tianci only stayed in Huainan for a short period of time, and then he received an order from Xu Zhihao, who asked him to go to Xuzhou to prepare to resist the enemy.

Now there are only Shan Fu and the 5,000 soldiers in Huainan City.

******

At this time, Shan Fu was beautiful there.

What is he beautiful?

In the past, he was just an ordinary general, but now he suddenly handed over such a big Huainan to him, can he not be beautiful?

In the past, he was under Xu Zhihao's nose, he listened to Xu Zhihao in everything, but now everyone around him listens to him.

Shan Fu was beautiful there, and suddenly someone came to report: "Report!" Report to the general, the big thing is not good, Li Tang's general Li Cunba led 20,000 horses to attack the city! ”

"What?"

When Shan Fu heard this, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up from his chair.

Shan Fu listened: What? Who did Guo Chongtao send to take Huainan? Guo Chongtao sent Li Cunba to fetch Huainan? Guo Chongtao also thinks too highly of me, I'm just a young general, can I use a general like Li Cunba to deal with me?

As soon as Shan Fu heard that Li Cunba was coming, he was a little furious.

Shan Fuxin said: Li Cunba is here, can I beat him?

*******

When Li Cunba arrived at the city of Huainan, he attacked the city.

Li Cunba attacked for a short while, and he broke through Huainan City.

How could Huainan City be so easily breached?

Huainan City belonged to Li Tang before, and now many people in Huainan City are Li Tang's people, and when someone saw Li Cunba coming, they opened the city gate.

As soon as the city gate opened, Shan Fu was not Li Cunba's opponent, and Shan Fu's soldiers were not as many as Li Cunba's, could Huainan City not be breached?

******

What about Li Cunxiao over there fighting Yancheng?

The situation of Li Cunxiao's attack on Yancheng is similar to that of Li Cunba's attack on Huainan, so I won't go into detail here.

Li Cunxiao also took Yancheng.

******

Let's talk about Xu Zhihao in Xuzhou.

After Xu Zhihao took Xuzhou, he took 150,000 horses and waited there to resist Guo Chongtao.

After he heard the news that Guo Chongtao was leading 100,000 men and horses to Xuzhou, he actively prepared to resist the enemy.

However, when Guo Chongtao's men and horses walked fifty miles away from Xuzhou City, Guo Chongtao's men and horses disappeared overnight, and Xu Zhihao was a little puzzled in his heart.

Xu Zhihao was thinking: Where did Guo Chongtao's men go?

At this time, the report came:

"Report! reported to Prime Minister Xu that Guo Chongtao sent Li Cunba to lead 20,000 horses to take Huainan! ”

"Report! reported to Prime Minister Xu Cheng, Guo Chongtao sent Li Cunxiao to lead 20,000 horses to take Yancheng! ”

"Report! reported to Prime Minister Xu that Guo Chongtao led 60,000 horses to resist the enemy Xu Tianshun and saved Yanzhou. ”

"Report! Prime Minister Xu, Li Cunba has taken Huainan! ”

"Report! Prime Minister Xu, Li Cunxiao has taken Yancheng! ”

When Xu Zhihao heard this, he was shocked. (To be continued.) )
