Chapter 1118: Surround Xiangyang and surrender within a limited time
After besieging the city, Zhang Yu called several generals over that night.
In the big tent, Zhang Yu's subordinates are full of talents.
Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Huang Xu, Zhou Cang, Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and so on.
Zhang Yu looked at everyone, and then said: "Now, I have controlled an army in the city, and the most important thing is to make no one of Cao's 100,000 troops go back. ”
"After we enter the city, we must use the fastest speed to surround and attack the Cao army, the Jingzhou army, there is no need to worry, the Cao army, we must not let them escape."
Zhang Yu's words were nothing to his subordinates, but they were very shocking to Zhou Yu and the other three.
This battle has not yet been fought, Zhang Yu has already controlled an army in the city, although I don't know how much, but after the war, it will definitely play a great role.
Guo Jia's expression relaxed, and then said to everyone: "My Tang army is also brave and good at fighting, it is naturally nothing to deal with the Cao army, the army is besieging the city, and it is difficult for them to get out, but we must also give the enemy enough shock, and when the time comes, we will take advantage of the situation to attack Nanyang and approach Luoyang." ”
Everyone is enthusiastic, and if Luoyang is defeated, Chang'an will be simple, and then Ma Teng will be left to be Liu Bei, and there are only two states, which can no longer be stopped.
The trend of unification is clearer.
Zhang Yu personally led a large army to conquest, and there was not much hindrance.
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Jingzhou's army is not to worry, we also have to deal with it carefully, now let's assign the matter of attacking Cao's army." ”
Zhang Yu asked people to hang up the map, and this map turned out to be a detailed map of the city.
"You see, the places with red circles on the map are all where Cao's army is stationed, and they are all stationed near the city gate, and after entering the city, they will give priority to surrounding these places."
"The place of the hoop is the place where the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou are stationed, and the places where they are stationed are relatively scattered, and the more important places in the city are stationed."
Zhou Yu and the others gasped, before this was fought, Zhang Yu had such detailed information, and the task assigned was not to attack the city gate, but the task after entering the city.
It can be seen that it must not be easy for Zhang Yu to control the army in the city.
Zhang Yu continued to arrange, several generals had tasks, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were arranged to attack Cao's army.
The careful Zhou Yu found that there were several Jingzhou soldiers and horses who did not arrange people, or they were handled by Guo Jia.
There must be some of this that is internal.
Judging from these circumstances, Zhou Yu analyzed that there were about 5,000 to 15,000 troops under Zhang Yu's control.
Zhou Yu's analysis must be more than that, if it weren't for that, Zhang Yu wouldn't be so sure.
Zhang Yu could have taken Xiangyang City a long time ago, endured it until now, and waited for Cao Jun to enter the city and gain a firm foothold, how confident he was.
"Alas, Changsha is not unjustly lost, even if there is no salt, it will only be blocked for half a year at most." Zhou Yu said with a secret sigh in his heart.
Zhang Yu carefully assigned their respective tasks.
The meeting was held for a long time, and the tasks were very detailed.
Several generals understood their tasks.
After the assignment was completed, Zhang Yu asked people to arrange it separately.
Zhang Yu's army of about 500,000 surrounded Xiangyang City.
Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Gao Shun was also there with more than 100,000 troops, threatening the Tiger Pass at all times.
At this time, the Tiger Prison Pass was not so strong.
It was completely destroyed at the beginning, and there was no chance to overhaul it, and it was not as strong as Dong Zhuo was at that time.
At the same time, in the north of Luoyang City, tens of thousands of troops were also active, and at the same time, there were tens of thousands of troops on the Yellow River.
These armies can all reach Luoyang City.
This arrangement naturally made Cao Cao feel pressured, and he didn't have more strength to interfere in the affairs of the south.
A day passed, and the city was ostensibly calm.
After Xu Chen inspected the streets, Cai Mao was a lot more relieved.
Just after the first day, Cai Mao called Xu Chen to inquire about the situation.
"Lord Wang, Zhang Yu is outside the city, and the influence is relatively large, and there has been some instability in the city recently." Xu Chen said.
This is indeed the case, the soldiers and civilians in the city are afraid that Zhang Yu will come in.
Xu Chen knew that there was more than one channel for this Cai Mao, and he had recently sent out all the Cai commanders.
It's just that Commander Cai is mainly responsible for the affairs of the army, and he doesn't pay so much attention to the ordinary people on the streets.
Cai Mao also frequently gathers the children of the clan, so Cai Mao doesn't know anything about the outside.
"Damn, make more patrols, and those who dare to gather the crowd will arrest the leaders."
Although the morale of the army is unstable, as long as it does not gather people, then it will be fine.
Cai Mao instructed Xu Chen some more things, and then said: "Five thousand soldiers and horses are a little less, this king will give you another three thousand soldiers and horses, and let Cai He cooperate with you and patrol together." ”
Cai He, one of the original arrests of Wang Li, is also Cai Mao's cronies.
This Cai Mao still didn't fully believe Xu Chen, and obviously increased his troops, but arranged for someone to monitor him.
"Yes, Lord Wang, your subordinates must be careful and don't give anyone a chance."
Xu Chen left.
Cai He partnered with him, and Xu Chen didn't take any action, doing his best to patrol and arrest people with different intentions.
Two days passed, and the hearts of the people in the city became even more volatile.
At this time, Zhang Yu did not make any moves.
After Xu Chen finished inspecting the streets, he went to drink tea once.
While drinking tea, Xu Chen received information again.
Xu Chen didn't go back until late, and opened the information after he returned.
"Six days, the lord is only willing to give Xiangyang six days, eight days, just to deceive the resistance forces in Xiangyang City."
Zhang Yu didn't give Xu Chen any specific tasks, his mission had been completed.
After completing the mission, Zhang Yu asked him to act at the right time.
Little by little, the days passed.
Two more days passed, and the deadline was approaching.
For several days, the gates of the city were closed, and the people were not allowed to go out into the streets.
Although Cai Mao does not have full control and cannot go on the streets, she can only walk on the streets for two and a half hours a day, five hours.
In this way, the more control is obtained, the more afraid the soldiers and civilians in the city become.
On the fifth day, Zhang Yu once again gathered his generals to discuss the matter.
"I have already planned, tomorrow in the middle of the night, we will enter the city, through the east gate and the south gate, and the other two city gates will launch a fierce attack."
"Tomorrow night, we must attack the city as soon as possible, and the army will control the city gate, and then the generals will attack interspersed, and the Cao army must not be given a chance to gather."
"Cao Jun is arranged around the four city gates, and it is not easy to assemble, we can't give them a chance."
"Now, each will make the final preparations, tomorrow night, take Xiangyang."
It's finally time to go to war, and once the war starts, it's to take Xiangyang City.
The day passed quickly.
Many families in the city seem to be coming one day, and the more uneasy they are with the last days stipulated by Zhang Yu, many families in the army have secretly discussed with the family, and when the time comes, they will surrender directly to protect the family.
Cai Mao, at this time, did not know that the people below had already left Germany.
