Zhao Yun and Su Li won a complete victory, escorting the prisoners of war back triumphantly, and more importantly, the news of the defeat of Xu Chu and Xu Huang by the two armies spread to Kaiyang City, Cao Hong and Yu Ban could no longer hold their breath, the enemy army more than doubled, and the reinforcements were hopeless, so it was better to take advantage of the soldiers' combat strength to break through the siege early. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When the two generals came out of the city, they were surrounded by Li Yi's group, and they wasted their strength to get out of the siege, but Cao's army suffered heavy losses, and eight or nine times out of ten were captured by Li Yi's army.

With the few remaining soldiers and horses, Cao Hong and Yu Ban fled to the East China Sea, and joined forces with Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu, but they could only defend the city separately, and did not dare to fight with Li Yi.

The successive victories made Li Yi feel fluttering, he looked at the military map, pointed to the Donghai County and said: "Cao's army has failed continuously, its military spirit has been dispersed, if it is a blow, it will be able to recover the lost territory." ”

"Not really, now the Cao army is sticking to the city, and there is a situation of confronting me, and I am far away from Youji, and the supply line is too long, which is not conducive to a war of attrition. Seeing that Li Yi was too optimistic, Zhang Ying hurriedly spoke in time.

"yes." Li Yi gasped, if it weren't for Zhang Ying's warning, I'm afraid he would have really fallen into a quagmire. Li Yi sighed slightly: "What should I do?" ”

"Leaving Gongtai and Yan Ping in Langya, I will not be afraid of the attack of the Cao army, and my main force will be free......"

"Could it be that Wenyuan wants to have a black tiger to dig out his heart!" Li Yi had a flash of inspiration and suddenly interrupted Zhang Ying's words.

"Exactly!" Zhang Ying smiled slightly: "Most of the Cao army is consumed in Xuzhou, and its elite main force has annihilated a lot for me, it is conceivable that the original hinterland must be weak, if I don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, I can attack its heartland." ”

"Cao Jun is different from Yuan Shao, his advisers and famous generals are gathered, don't be careless!" Yu Bing said with some concern.

"If the conventional tactics are used step by step, the Cao family's civil and military forces will naturally burst out with powerful energy, if we ......"

"Do we still use the tactics of attacking Yuan Shao?"

"Bingmei is right, this time we will fight without a rear, and only this kind of side-door tactics can completely disrupt the deployment of the Cao army."

"No rear combat? This method of warfare is extremely risky, and if it is not done well, the entire army will be wiped out. Li Yi, who has always been bold and reckless, has shrunk a little.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger!" Zhang Ying tapped the table and said: "To deal with Cao Jun, who has many generals and many ministers, don't take some risks, I'm afraid I won't want to win in this life." ”

As soon as Zhang Ying's words came out, Li Yi and others also felt that it was quite reasonable, in the case of not having an advantage in strength, if they did not seize this fleeting opportunity, I am afraid that a situation of confrontation with them would really be formed.

"In order to avenge an arrow, it is worth taking a risk!" Li Yi slapped the table hard, and he finally made up his mind to start a special fierce battle with Cao Jun.

It's too late to mobilize more elites, and now only Li Yi and his wife, as well as Zhao Yun and Su Li, can do it, and there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. However, the lack of troops made it easier to paralyze Cao's army and make it germinate the idea of underestimating the enemy.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. Li Yi and the others had decided on the plan, so they immediately waved their troops westward, Zhao Yun of course became the pioneer, Su Li was in charge of the palace, only led 20,000 light horsemen, lightly armed, interspersed with Taishan County, and drove into Shanyang County in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao's subordinates gathered a large number of ministers, of course, they would not win chess and ignore their families, and they had a heavy defense in Taishan County, led by the famous general Zhang Liao, to block Li Yi and prevent him from attacking the hinterland of the Central Plains.

But Zhang Liao, Cao Cao, and even a group of strategists did not expect that Li Yi would not do too much entanglement, conquer the two county seats, and after doing a little bit of difficulty, he led the men and horses through Taishan County.

Zhang Liao and his subordinates, the iron bucket-like defensive line built failed, he led the army in pursuit, but was also left far behind by Li Yi, before he crossed the state border, he got the battle report of the defeat in front, Shanyang County was connected by Li Yi several cities, and Changyi, the place of governance, also fell into Li Yi's palm.

Finished! The general trend has gone, with only 20,000 horses on his own, how can he counterattack Shanyang? If the enemy rushes forward, I am afraid that he will be exterminated by Li Yi, so it is better to send an urgent report to Xiapi, so that King Wei can make a decision as soon as possible!

Worthy of being a famous general with both wisdom and bravery, Zhang Liao withdrew in time, so that Guan Yu, who was peeking behind him, had no chance to take advantage of it, which not only kept Taishan County, but also avoided Li Yi's idea of easily connecting together.

"We were like a bamboo, we easily took Shanyang, and basically achieved the initial strategic concept, so what should we do next?" Li Yi was a little complacent, and said with a little worry.

"Although Yanzhou's troops are insufficient, but with Cheng Yu in charge, it is not easy to plot, and now we have to wait for the sneak attack to succeed, so we can occupy Shanyang so easily, but to expand the results, I am afraid that we will need to pay a lot of price." Zhang Ying stroked his hair with his hand, and after a slight pause, he opened his cherry lips and said: "The guardian of Yuzhou is Xiahoudun, who has some strategies, but compared to Cheng Zhongde, it is very different. ”

"It's wonderful, let's move to Yuzhou, stir him up on his back, and the chickens and dogs will be restless!" Li Yi clapped and laughed.

"Yuzhou is indeed our target, but we still need to make some preparations before we can achieve half the result." Seeing that Li Yi and the others all showed puzzled eyes, Zhang Ying snorted and said: "Send people into Yuzhou first, and spread the rumor that Liu Biao and Sun Ce are going to join forces to sneak attack, so that no matter whether the two parties have this intention or not, it will disrupt Xiahoudun's deployment." ”

"What a clever plan!" Li Yi laughed, as if Yuzhou had already beckoned to him.

Sure enough, as rumors spread, Xiahoudun did not distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it was difficult to move the troops and horses deployed in the north. And at the same time that Xiahoudun made the wrong decision, Li Yi's army was dispatched again.

Unlike the attack on Yanzhou, this time Li Yi's troops split the road and launched an attack on Pei, Liang, and Chen in Yuzhou at the same time.

Because Yuzhou had just been replaced, the troops in the north seemed relatively empty, and Li Yi conquered more than ten cities one after another. When Xiahoudun came to his senses and moved his troops from south to north, he had almost lost half of Yuzhou.

"We've had enough of tossing, it's time to close up." Just when Li Yi wanted to make persistent efforts to take down the entire Yuzhou, Zhang Ying made another surprising statement.

"Close? What's not interesting? Li Yi asked puzzled.

"Cao Chengcheng led the army to rescue Yuzhou, if we concentrate our forces and launch a fatal blow to it, the effect will be conceivable."

"Cao's army gathered nearly 100,000 troops, divided into three routes, led by Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Lu Bu, and was advancing towards Yuzhou with all its might. 20,000 against 100,000, we can't do anything! Li Yi shook his head and said that he was very puzzled by this decision.
