Chapter 524: Take the city step by step
Gongsun Ying'er and Tassel will come to the building.
After a while, Xuzhou City in the night became lively.
Countless soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion armed with torches appeared on the streets.
Since entering the city, the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, who had not committed any offence against the people, kicked open the door of the house door from house to house, rushed into the house to search, and then withdrew after finding nothing.
Every time you exit a house, a Penglai soldier who later surrenders will be left outside the door to avoid repeated searches.
The building where Gongsun Ying'er and Tassel stayed was not very far from the official mansion.
There was chaos in the market, and the two of them hurriedly went to the other window.
Glancing at each other, the tassel climbed out of the window and quickly climbed up to the roof.
Gongsun Ying'er then climbed out of the window, and the tassel dragged her to the roof.
The two of them sat in the most secret shadow on the roof, looking at the Penglai soldiers running around the street.
It was not Ma Fei who led the search to find it, but Ma Yi.
Standing in the middle of the street, Ma Yi shouted: "Search! Door-to-door search! Turn Xuzhou upside down, and you must also search for this person! ”
Only then did he break through Xuzhou, Yuan Xu was assassinated, and the Penglai soldiers got the news and were filled with righteous indignation.
During the search, many people's homes were turned upside down.
The water tank and cage were not spared.
The people of Xuzhou, who were at a loss and didn't know what was going on, were shocked when their homes were searched.
Fortunately, although the Penglai soldiers rummaged through the cabinets, they did not hurt anyone, nor did they take advantage of the chaos to rob the goods.
The house that was searched was filled with a Penglai soldier standing outside the door, and the people inside the house hurriedly closed the door. I'm afraid someone will break in again.
Xuzhou Government.
There were several people sitting in Yuan Xu's room.
Tian Feng, Tai Shigong, Zhao Yi and others heard the news and rushed over one after another.
"Repeatedly assassinated the child. But this woman? Yuan Xu recounted the information he had heard from Gongsun Ying'er, and Tian Feng asked.
"Exactly!" Yuan Xu said: "This woman is secondary. At most, send more guards. A certain is thinking that Cao Cao should take advantage of the fact that Cao Cao has not yet arrived in Xuzhou and seize this place into his hands as soon as possible. ”
"Xuzhou and Yuzhou are adjacent to each other, if you get here, it will be like inserting a sharp knife in Cao Cao's heart." Tian Feng said: "Cao Cao will definitely do his best to recapture it." ”
"How can he take it back?" Yuan Xu said: "By Cao Cao's side, only Cao Shuo Ling couldn't figure it out. Since he went to the Xiongnu, he could take advantage of the situation to seize Xuzhou, and then crusade against Yuzhou. Earlier strategy. Except for the failure to defeat Xu Du, nothing has changed. ”
Cao Shuo went to the Xiongnu, which was undoubtedly a big failure for Cao Cao in Yuan Xu's opinion.
If Cao Shuo stays, the two will face off sooner or later.
Although the Tianhai battalion is strong, in the face of Cao Shuo, who also has the concept of later generations and is from a military background, Yuan Xu has the certainty of victory, but he knows that the loss must be great.
Fight for the world?
Cao Shuo said it easily, but Yuan Xu couldn't help it!
The Yuan family has fallen into decline, relying only on Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and others. You can't turn the tide at all!
As the heir of the Yuan family, Cao Cao was extremely jealous of him.
If you don't fight, you are looking for death!
Taking advantage of Cao Shuo's absence, let it go.
Capture Xuzhou. When Cao Shuo returned from the Xiongnu, even if Cao Cao took him as his general, Yuan Xu would have been prepared!
Don't hit Xu Du. Just because you can't fight at that time!
With full wings, who cares what identity the enemy has?
Cao Shuo believes that history is difficult to change. Although Yuan Xu also had such thoughts, he had changed a little after all.
Although it is not a major overhaul. Who can say what the future holds?
Things are not to the last step, and no one knows how it will end!
"Childe has a point!" Tian Feng said: "Xuzhou has jurisdiction over Guangling, Donghai, Xiapi and other counties, if you take the three counties, and then march into Runan, you can form an encirclement with the eldest son and the third son, Cao Cao may be able to break it!" ”
"I'm afraid that the eldest brother and the third brother will not be able to work together!" Yuan Xu said: "Tian Gong, immediately send a messenger to Yecheng to inform the eldest brother that no matter what, don't turn against the third brother." The survival of the Yuan family is in one fell swoop! ”
"What about the Assassins?" Tai Shi Gong said: "Open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, some people have the heart to assassinate Gongzi, you must not guard against it!" ”
"It's been a startle tonight, and I guess she won't be making any more moves recently." Yuan Xu said: "And don't pay attention to him, send troops and horses early tomorrow morning to seize Xiapi, Guangling, Donghai and other places." All over the country is in a horn trend, once Cao Jun comes, they can rely on each other, and they will definitely get a respite for us! ”
Taishi Gong received the military order, and then left the government and transferred troops and horses to seize the counties.
At the same time, Cao Cao led a large army out of Yecheng and was on his way to Xuzhou.
A fast horse galloped towards Cao Cao.
When he got closer, the knight pulled the reins and bowed his hand and said: "Qi Cao Gong, Yuan Xianxin broke through Xuzhou, and the troops were divided into three routes, attacking the three counties of Xiapi, Donghai and Guangling. ”
"Yuan Xianxin's move must be to seize Xuzhou!" Cao Cao said to the staff: "If he succeeds, Yuzhou will be under the front of the army, Hebei and Xuzhou will be attacked on both sides, and it is difficult to determine who will kill the deer!" ”
"With Penglai as the backing, it is not easy to defeat Yuan Xianxin." Guo Jia said: "When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang turn against each other, Cao Gong should go all out to break it." As for Yuan Xianxin, he only needs to allocate troops and horses, and beware of his march into Xudu! ”
"When Zirong returns, where should he be placed?" Cao Cao asked.
"The second son is brave and martial, but if you talk about wisdom, it is not as good as Yuan Xianxin." Guo Jia said: "Placing it in Xuzhou, although it can delay Yuan Xianxin, it is not beneficial to fight in Hebei. When he returns, it is better for Cao Gongzi to order the second prince to go to Hebei, defeat Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang as soon as possible, and also go all out to deal with Yuan Xianxin! ”
"The words of filial piety coincide with a certain one." Cao Cao said: "Yuan Xianxin wants to seize Xuzhou, and we must not let it succeed." Messengers, speed up! ”
Cao's army quickened its pace, hoping to return to the aid before Yuan Xu captured Xuzhou.
Penglai soldiers replenished equipment and armor in Xuzhou, although the uniforms were incomplete, the soldiers' equipment was all distributed.
Yuan Xu sent a messenger to order Penglai to make a battle robe.
The 6,000 Tianhai battalion stayed in Xuzhou, and the later servants went to Guangling, Donghai, and Xiapi counties.
The city of Xuzhou is deep and deep, and it is still broken in one day.
Guangling and other places were stationed in Cao's army, and when they learned that the Penglai army had arrived, they almost did not resist, and the city changed owners!
After winning Xuzhou, Yuan Xu ordered all parts of the city to close the city gates and beware of a surprise attack by Cao's army.
A few days later, Cao Cao led his army to the border of Xuzhou.
The Penglai soldiers did not meet the battle, and the gates of the cities were closed, waiting for the Cao army to come and attack the city.
Cao Cao soon learned that there was no more than half of the city in the whole of Xuzhou in Cao's hands.
On the border of Xuzhou, Cao Cao said: "The entire Xuzhou has fallen into the hands of Yuan Xianxin, how can we break it?" ”
"Cao Gong!" Xun You said: "Yuan Xianxin seized Xuzhou, and the cities were horns for each other. If you attack rashly, you will be in the middle of it. It's better to advance in an orderly manner and win one city and one pool! (To be continued.) )
