Xuchang was lost, and the news quickly spread to all parts of the country like the wind, but Liu Yong couldn't care about these at the moment, and immediately led a large army into the city, ordering Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, and Kou Feng to divide their troops to guard the four gates, and immediately began to set up a list with Pang Tong, Tian Feng, Fa Zheng, Li Hui, Li Yan and others to calm the people and rectify the whole city, and at the same time ordered the whole army to restrain military discipline and not kill innocents indiscriminately at will, but if anyone dares to provoke the military or make trouble, immediately kill and mercilessly!

Guan Yu in the city sat in the town, with his prestige of beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou, passing five passes and killing six generals, almost everyone in Xuchang City was in danger, and no one could have imagined that Guan Yu would be able to return to Xuchang again.

Even Guan Yu himself sighed, he didn't think that he could enter Xuchang again, especially after the eldest brother Liu Bei died in Runan, he didn't expect to return here again today, looking at those who were trembling in the face of him, especially some of the captured Cao Jun who had blocked him from leaving the city, and he didn't dare to look at it directly.

Guan Yu disdained it, and raised his knife and rode over.

Liu Yongzheng was discussing matters in the city with Fa Zheng and others, and Pang Tong hurriedly came: "Lord, I just learned that Xu Huang has arrived fifty miles away and is rushing straight over, and Xu Chu and Han Qiong have crossed the Yellow River with 50,000 horses, and Cao Chun's 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride!" ”

Liu Yong and Fa Zheng's faces changed, it seems that Cao Cao finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and even sent the tiger and leopard horseman.

"Where is Lejin?" Liu Yong hurriedly asked.

Pang Tong continued: "I have already arrived in Chenliu, and at this time, I have arrived in Weishi County. ”

Liu Yong hurriedly looked at the map, and his whole body suddenly rose with murderous intent: "It seems that Cao Cao wants to retake Xuchang!" ”

Fa Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Don't worry, the lord has a plan, which can make him return with a defeat from the three armies!" ”

Liu Yong is overjoyed, the wisdom and strategy of Fa Zheng in history are comparable to Guo Jia, the intrigue is continuous, and there is Jia Xu's viciousness, his strategy does have a high success rate, and his heart is also full of expectations: "Say it quickly!" ”

Fa Zheng pointed to the map and said: "Xu Huang has 30,000, Xu Chu in the north has 60,000, and Lejin has a total of 30,000 along the way, and the three teams have a total of 120,000, and most of them are Cao Cao's elite, so it can be seen that Cao Cao is also in a hurry." Our army has just captured Xuchang, and it is tired from fighting for several days, and it still needs to delay time. can ask a general to lead a team of men and horses to go north alone to drag Xu Chu and Cao Chun, not seeking merit, just to delay. In addition, send a group of men and horses to the west to stop Xu Huang, only need to block Xu Huang for two days, the city can be cleared again, completely controlled, our focus is to annihilate the 30,000 horses of Lejin in one fell swoop! One is to boost morale, and the other is to buy time to clean up Xuchang! ”

Liu Yong also understood that Le Jin only had 10,000 horses, which was an extremely strong infantry army, and Le Jin was famous for his courage in battle, and he was famous for being the first in every battle, which means that as long as this group of men and horses was destroyed, it would be a heavy blow to the Cao army, and then concentrate on annihilating them one by one.

But this strategy is also extremely dangerous, to block Xu Chu's army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, Xu Chu is Cao Cao's tiger general, Han Qiong is one of Hebei's "four courts and one pillar", the strength is extraordinary, the people who fight, not only must be excellent in martial arts, but also calm, wise and brave, and the requirements are extremely high.

Fa Zheng saw Liu Yong's hesitation and asked, "The lord is worried about the candidate?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Yonghao replied without evasion.

Fa Zheng smiled: "The lord seems to be worried about chaos, just looking, among the generals, General Yide is brave, but his wit is insufficient, and his character is tyrannical, but he can inspire morale very strongly, but he can lead people and horses to kill Le Jin, Le Jin's unparalleled army formation, just need a tiger like Yide to meet in the future, and at the same time order General Zang Ba to lead the army together, 50,000 horses and horses to attack, will be able to defeat the enemy!" ”

Liu Yong glanced at Tian Feng and Pang Tong next to him, and saw that the two of them nodded slightly, so he said, "Go on!" ”

Fa Zheng continued: "Xu Huang's martial arts are extraordinary, but his resourcefulness is not low, but he can order Gao Ran and General Zhang He to lead 20,000 horses and horses to go together, both of them are famous generals in Hebei, and they are familiar with each other, presumably the cooperation is more tacit, 20,000 people block 30,000 people, it is not difficult to compare." ”

Tian Feng suddenly frowned and said: "There are only 50,000 horses left in the city, and now that Xuchang has just been captured, it is not peaceful, and the city still needs a lot of men and horses to maintain and defend, so to meet the northern Xu Chu and the tiger and leopard can ride up to 20,000 horses, this ...... Is it too little? ”

Not only Tian Feng, but even Pang Tong frowned. Because there are only two left, Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren among the current generals, but Zhang Ren does not have much prestige and seniority in the Jingzhou army, which means that Fa Zheng wants Zhao Yun to lead the army to meet Xu Chu, but 20,000 against 60,000 is indeed too little.

Liu Yong hesitated, Zhao Yun is a rare general with both wisdom and bravery, if there is a mistake, the price of capturing this Xuchang will be too great.

Fa Zheng didn't care, and seemed to conclude that it would succeed: "My lord, why don't you invite the generals to come and discuss?" ”

Liu Yong nodded, and the herald soldiers left quickly, and in a stick of incense, all the generals came, along with Guan Yu.

When they learned about the situation, everyone asked for war, and they had no intentions.

Time was pressing, Liu Yong didn't say much, and asked Zhao Yundao directly: "Zilong, righteousness, if I give you 20,000 horses, I don't know how many days I can stop Xu Chu?" ”

Since Zhang Ren surrendered, Zhao Yun had learned from his marksmanship that he was in the same door as him, and he had recognized each other in private, Zhang Ren was of course surprised, and then in many discussions, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters heated up rapidly, and they had already become brothers and sisters. The two glanced at each other, Zhang Ren nodded, and Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "If the lord can give me these five thousand cavalry, plus three thousand archers and twelve thousand foot soldiers, the cloud can withstand ten days!" ”

Zhao Yun is good at cavalry, Zhang Ren is the best at archers, and the infantry is also extremely proficient, so Zhao Yun spoke directly.

"Ten days?" Everyone was shocked, even Fa Zheng only counted five days in his heart, and then Zhang Fei and Zang Ba rushed to help, but they didn't expect Zhao Yun to be so sure.

Liu Yong's eyes cooled: "Zilong, the military aircraft is a big event, it's not child's play, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Although Liu Yong understands Zhao Yun's personality and is not a person who talks nonsense at will, it is really important at this time, and he can't help but not treat it seriously.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed to each other: "May the military order be established!" ”

"Shhh Everyone gasped.

"Hahaha, Zilong is really guts, he is so sure, okay, according to what you said, 5,000 cavalry, 3,000 archers, I will give you another 1,000 crossbowmen, 9,000 infantry, and then let Chen Zhi's 3,000 white-haired troops give you, but ten days must be held for me, half a day less, I want your two heads!"
