Chapter 391 Soldiers sent to Xuzhou
The days that followed. Zhao Fei is busy. In order to take care of the Yang family, Cao Cao specially asked Zhao Fei to rest at home for a few days and accompany his wife. And Zhao Fei also resolutely implemented Cao Cao's order, and his care for the Yang family can be said to be inseparable.
In this regard, Yang's heart was unusually warm, and at the same time, she was also a little overwhelmed, after all, Zhao Fei's care was really a little warm and unacceptable.
And just when Zhao Fei was immersed in the joy of family, wars followed. Since the first battle of Wancheng, the whole of Yanzhou has been recuperating. And after experiencing the Lishang Order and the Xuchang riots, which raided the homes of many powerful scholars, Xuchang's inventory was full.
Based on this important point, Cao Cao's heart was greatly raised. Of course, there is also a particularly important point, Xuzhou is now in the midst of war. Yuan Shu of Huainan is planning to take Xuzhou, and is now in a stalemate on the border of Xuzhou.
Yuan Shu swallowed heavy troops at the border between the two sides, so that Lu Bu had to be careful as well. And this is the perfect time for him to crusade against Xuzhou, after all, such an opportunity is very rare, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop, how can this not make Cao Cao's psychological face itch.
And for this opportunity, the civil and military generals under Cao Cao also cherish it very much. Especially Xun Yu, he strongly advocated the crusade against Xuzhou at this time.
In this regard, Zhao Fei naturally did not raise objections. However, what gave Zhao Fei a headache was that since he was preparing to crusade against Xuzhou, he would definitely have to go out with the army. After all, the stakes are very important, and Cao Cao is also determined to strike a blow and draw Xuzhou into his rule as soon as possible. After all, Xuzhou is very important to itself.
In this regard, Zhao Fei could not do anything. Xuzhou must be taken because of its strategic significance. After taking Xuzhou, Cao Cao has the strength to win the north, so for the crusade against such an important Xuzhou, Zhao Fei must also do it himself, and strive to win the battle without worries.
As for the attack on Xuzhou, the most excited are the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry. After all, this is the first big battle they are about to come into contact with, and this battle is definitely their own battle of fame.
When the upper echelons of Xuchang were ready for battle, the huge war machine of the entire Yanzhou began to operate. Because Cao's army was bound to win Xuzhou, Cao Cao mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized, the art of war in Xuzhou, with the purpose of pacifying the First World War.
After nearly a month of mobilization, the 80,000 Yanzhou army is ready to go. The grain and grass equipment has already been fully prepared, and all of them are ready to go.
In the face of this station, Cao Jun can be said to be full of fighting spirit. And Cao Cao is also high-spirited, and he is absolutely capable of solving Xuzhou in a battle.
When everything was ready to be recharged, Cao Cao gave the order to set off. The 80,000 troops were divided into two routes, one setting off from Taishan County, Yanzhou, to attack Dongguan County, Xuzhou. From north to south, attack Xuzhou. One route passed through Xiaopei, which was garrisoned by Liu Bei, from west to east, and directly attacked Pengcheng. Then the two armies waved their divisions and attacked Xuzhou City from both sides, so that Lu Bu had nothing to escape.
And Zhao Fei led an army of 40,000 and attacked Pengcheng directly from Xiaopei. This is definitely an uphill battle, after all, Pengcheng is an important place in Xuzhou. LĂź Bu stationed heavy troops here. Moreover, in order to guard against Liu Bei, Lu Bu specially arranged Gao Shun, the strongest under his command, in Pengcheng.
Therefore, the Battle of Pengcheng is definitely an unimportant battle in the entire Battle of Xuzhou. If Pengcheng is easily taken, then it can be said that the crusade against Xuzhou will give it the upper hand. After all, Pengcheng is the east gate of Xuzhou, as long as this gate is pried open, the next thing will be flat.
But having said that, only Zhao Fei knew that this stop was not easy. Because no one else knows how difficult Gao Shun is to deal with.
Gao Shun is a first-class military general hidden by history, and his strength will never be inferior to any first-class military general of Cao Jun. Whether it is his personal strength or the ability to lead troops to fight, he can be regarded as a person who can rank in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Gao Shun is a real loyal minister, a far-sighted and thoughtful strategist. Gao Shun is a person who attaches great importance to personal cultivation. He was very dignified and strict in governing the army. Gao Shun did not drink alcohol, which was rare for a military general at that time.
But this is such a person, a person who is loyal to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu does not use Gao Shun, which is the saddest thing for Zhao Fei to Gao Shun. Although Gao Shun is the number one general under Lu Bu, he is the least important person.
But despite this, whenever there is a war, or when defending a more important city, Lu Bu still inevitably uses Gao Shun. After all, Gao Shun has been with Lu Bu for so long, and Lu Bu still knows how much strength Gao Shun has.
Moreover, Pengcheng also has a trap camp under Gao Shun. Although Gao Shun is not famous in history, when it comes to trapping camps, almost everyone knows about it.
The strength of the trapped camp has been certified by historical books such as the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. I remember that in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, there is such a sentence that is used to describe the trapped camp, that is: "There are more than 700 soldiers, numbered 1,000 people, the armor is refined and neat, and each attack is broken, and the name is the trapped camp."
You must know that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the most realistic history book. Therefore, if it can leave such a fierce sentence for the trapping camp, it proves that the trapping camp under Gao Shun can achieve the strength described in the book. Therefore, this is definitely the most headache for Zhao Fei.
But fortunately, in order to make his attack go smoothly, Cao Cao concentrated all the three trump cards of Cao Jun in his own hands, whether it was the wolves, the white horse or the tiger and leopard rider who was now in the limelight, all under Zhao Fei's command.
With these three elites, Zhao Fei will definitely not be afraid of falling into the camp. After all, there are only 700 soldiers in the camp, and he has an army of 40,000. Moreover, in terms of combat strength, his wolf pack will definitely not be much worse than the trapped camp. Therefore, a single trapped camp will definitely not be able to stop his footsteps.
However, although Zhao Fei was confident and slow, he had to be cautious when attacking Peng Cheng.
But these are all later words, Zhao Fei in front of him has just set off, and even Xiao Pei is still a while away from him.
Marching is definitely a boring thing, although Zhao Fei has experienced a lot, but every time he feels abnormal headaches, he definitely hates marching. But even so, every time he went on the expedition, Zhao Fei still had no way to stop everything.
