Lu Xun's words startled Ji Ling and Lei Bo, the two glanced at each other, and the former couldn't help but say, "What does the military advisor mean to deal with Liu Xuan?" ”

Of course, Lu Xun knew what they were thinking, so he sighed: "Don't misunderstand, this is what the lord meant, and now attacking Liu Xiang's son is actually a last resort." ”

Ji Ling and Lei Bo felt strange in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask, after all, this was Xu Ji's decision, they had no right to ask, as long as Xu Ji gave an order, they had to carry it out. Lu Xun looked at Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji nodded to him. Lu Xun honestly and unceremoniously ordered: "Our troops are divided into two routes, General Zhang Ji and I led our men and horses to secretly cross the Huai River and arrive at the Lujiang River, waiting for an opportunity to attack Shouchun, while General Lei Bo crossed Yingshui and attacked Shouchun two days after we launched the attack. As for General Ji Ling, your task is the heaviest, in order to respond to Cao Mengde, Liu Miao has sent the general Zhang Ying to lead the army north, and the Tun army will go to Cai, echoing the Cao army in Pengcheng, Lingbi, and Sicheng, I hope that General Ji Ling will defeat Zhang Ying's army here. Ji Ling shook his hands and said a little impatiently: "I heard that Zhang Yingnai is the number one general under Liu Xuan, shouldn't it be very bad?" Lu Xun and Zhang Ji looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and the latter said: "I'm afraid the general is going to be disappointed, in fact, Cao Mengde's subordinates among our enemies are full of talents." His personal servant Xu Chu is a 10,000-strong enemy who can save his life even under General Chen Zhi's full strength, and his subordinates Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers also have the courage of ten thousand people, and his brother Cao Ren is both civil and military, not only is his skill almost the same as that of the Xiahou brothers, but also the first leader of Cao Cao's subordinates. was unintentionally calculated by Zhang Yan. can still retreat with a slight loss, he is really a talent. Others, such as Li Dian and others, should not be underestimated. Since Cao Mengde arrived in Jiangdong, he has been like a fish in water. By the way, I heard that there is a yellow-mouthed child named Ling Tong. And be valued, I don't know anything else, I heard that this child is born with divine power, and he is a rare martial arts wizard. It's just that it's very young. For the time being, he will not be able to go to the battlefield. "Of course, these news are the result of the hard work of the Yanzhou scouts, since Xu Ji learned about Cao Cao's conspiracy two years ago, a large number of members of Yanzhou's Shadow have been infiltrating Cao Cao's territory as merchants, and have obtained this information intermittently. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Ji talked about Cao Cao's subordinates, he would be so familiar with the road.

Ji Ling's eyes shone brightly when he heard it. But I also know that I probably won't have a chance to meet you. There was a look of chagrin in his eyes. However, Ji Ling is a person who understands the general situation, and when he can't see so many opponents, he is even more worried about the battle situation in the Central Plains, and he is a little worried: "If this is the case, I will attack Xia Cai, then how should Lingbi, Sicheng and other places be cracked?" Lu Xun said with an unfathomable expression on his face: "This matter is not something we need to consider, Mr. Xu Shu has his own arrangements." The Yanzhou Army in the Central Plains is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Cao Cao can't take advantage of it. ”

Ji Ling chattered and said no more.

Lu Xun looked at Zhang Ji. smiled and said, "General Zhang Ji, please give an order." ”

Zhang Ji laughed and said, "Just do what the military advisor says." "The Central Plains War has finally entered a critical link.

Two days later, Zhang Ji's army suddenly appeared in Shouchun. And without even saying hello, the siege began.

Liu Xuan, who was handling official business in Shouchun, was caught off guard. was almost destroyed by Zhang Ji.

Although after a bloody battle, Liu Miao defended the city wall. But there were heavy casualties. Although Zhang Ji's army retreated, it did not suffer much loss. Of course, it was Lu Xun's idea to retreat. Because Lu Xun knows. Xu Ji hopes to be able to see Liu Xuan alive, otherwise it would be meaningless to do so many things. After all, Xu Ji didn't want to leave anyone with any handle, and Liu Ji was this person. Xu Ji really didn't take him seriously, if he hadn't seen the opportunity to lean on himself early and say that Guo Jia would have cleaned him up when he captured Xuzhou.

It's not easy to break through the city now, after all, there aren't many defenders in Shouchun City.

However, if the city is broken now, Liu Miao may flee, if he escapes to Cao Cao, I am afraid that he will finally have a dead end because of the confrontation with Xu Ji, so Lu Xun deliberately attacked but did not break, waiting for Lei Bo's army to detour Shouchun from behind, attack Shouchun, and capture the desperate Liu Xuan alive. Liu Miao is now sitting in Shouchun City and regretting it.

Since his good friend Cao Mengde came to Yangzhou to help him sweep Jiangdong, his life has reached a proud peak, Liu Miao has also learned smart over the years, quite a little self-aware, of course he knows best what kind of material he is, if it comes to the history of assassination and governing the place, Cao Mengde is much better than himself. So Cao Mengde's power in Yangzhou is getting bigger and bigger, but he didn't care at first, and even all Cao Cao's requests were answered. Although it is said that his Yangzhou assassin history exists in name only, Liu Hari is willing.

Of course, Liu Harrier's heart was full of resentment towards Xu Ji, because of Xu Jidi, the Liu family collapsed after Guo Jia won Qingzhou, which made him very dissatisfied with Xu Ji, especially the matter of Xu Ji's treatment of Liu Dai, which also made Liu Ji feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Although he and his brother Liu Dai have been competing for the powerful position of the Liu family for many years, the two are brothers after all, and now Liu Miao himself is the assassin of Yangzhou, and he is not very jealous of Liu Dai, so seeing Xu Ji suppressing his brother like this, Liu Miao is naturally very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Liu Miao gradually leaned towards Cao Mengde and became a party with Cao Mengde.

However, Liu Miao never thought about the fact that Cao Cao used himself as a shield to make Xu Ji jealous. This time, Cao Cao said to himself that he had a full grasp of dealing with Xu Ji, and Liu Cao formed an alliance with Cao Cao based on his trust in Cao Cao. And Cao Cao's various plans Liu Miao knew a little, and from the part he knew, Liu Miao knew that Cao Cao had a great hope of success. Therefore, I am more confident. But in fact, Liu Ji wants to deal with Xu Ji more than anyone else, and it is naturally impossible for him to have no idea about the position above 10,000 people, but he also knows Xu Ji's strength better than most people, after all, his relationship with Xu Ji is quite close, at least before he makes it clear that he and Xu Ji do not deal with each other.

The reason why Liu Miao dared to do this was also very simple, because he also knew that Zhang Ji and Sun Ce both participated in Cao Cao's alliance, and the forces of the four families were united. Coupled with the traitors and bribes that Cao Cao planted in various places, Cao Cao can indeed take over the hegemony of the Central Plains in Xu Jidi. Therefore. Cao Cao had only begun to attack Xuzhou, and Liu Miao had transferred his army to the front. It can be said that his number one general, Zhang Ying, has taken away all his elites. The cities in the north of Yangzhou under his control actually did not have the slightest surplus troops.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ji, who was supposed to be an ally, actually became an enemy at this time, which made him puzzled.

Now Shouchun City has few soldiers, and the only way out is to wait for reinforcements. Of course, the city south of Shouchun does not have the strength to rescue, and even if it is saved, it is far from quenching the thirst of the near, and it is even more powerless to break through the siege, and the only hope is that Zhang Ying's army in Xia Cai will return to the army immediately.

Thinking of this, Liu Miao sent someone to Xia Cai to ask for help. At the same time, he also sent people to Lingbi and Sicheng to ask for help from Cao Cao's army where the Tun army was there.

Now the only thing Liu Miao is glad about is that Zhang Ji's army did not besiege the city from all sides. In that case, it will be difficult to report the news. Maybe Zhang Ji lacks that kind of strength, right? After Liu Miao sent his scouts for help, he began to defend the city with all his might.

Until now, Liu Miao had not figured out why Zhang Ji's army would attack him, and the scouts he sent out would of course take this question to Lingbi and Sicheng by the way. Of course, this point is also within Lu Xun's calculations, the reason why Lu Xun attacked Shouchun in the south of Shouchun City is because the back of Shouchun is a big river, if he directly crosses the river to attack, Liu Xun will immediately send someone out of the city to report to Cao Cao. If Cao Cao knew about the battle here, Cao Cao would definitely suspect that if Cao Cao changed his offensive to a defensive position because of this, then a small battle for Xiapi would become protracted and straightforward. The gains outweigh the losses.

If it encircles the southeast, west, and west sides of Shouchun, leaving only the north, Liu Xuan's scouts can even pass the news to Cao Mengde. That was also a long time later, and Cao Mengde had already lost the opportunity at that time. Of course. It was best not to let Cao Mengde know this news, so Lu Xun planted Lei Bo's army in the north of Shouchun City. When the time comes, it is natural to take down all the scout troops sent by Liu Xuan.

All in all. Looking at Xu Shu's strategy, it was to use the advantage of the number of troops to make the enemy's cities fall into a situation of fighting their own battles in an instant, so that Cao Cao would lose contact in a short period of time, and by the time he got the news, it was already too late and overwhelmed. Where could Liu Miao think of this? When his soldiers were divided into three scouts, they worked hard to cross the place where Yingshui and the lower reaches of the Huai River met, and prepared to rush to Xiacai, Lingbi, Sicheng and other places to ventilate and report and ask for reinforcements. was captured by all the troops ambushed there by Lei Bo, and of course Liu Xuan's wish was disappointed.

And there in Shouchun City. Zhang Ji's army began a fierce attack the next day, which made Liu Ji exhausted. At the same time, Ji Ling's army began to attack Xia Cai, Zang Ba's army began to attack Lingbi, Sun Guan's army began to attack Sicheng, and Xu Shu led his troops to surround Pengcheng and began to attack the city.

In one day, all the cities were attacked, and of course Xun You's army could advance leisurely. In order to speed up the march, all siege tools were disassembled in Yanzhou's carriages, which of course greatly improved the mobility of Xunyou's army. Of course, if it is attacked halfway, Xun You's army will indeed turn on their backs, but the problem is that now the cities controlled by Cao Cao and Liu Yu are still too busy to take care of themselves, where is the time to stop Xun You? Even the intentions of Xun You's army were impossible for them to guess.

At the same time, the Yu Flip army, which had been struggling to support in Xuzhou and fighting with Cao Cao's army, was bitter and sweet, and they ushered in the most elite troops of the Yanzhou Field Battle, Gao Shun's 30,000 troops. As soon as Gao Shun's army arrived in Philadelphia, he sent troops with Yu Tuo to meet the increasingly arrogant Cao Cao's army.

Gao Shun did not challenge Cao Cao's army alone, and it was a melee.

Although Cao Cao's army is the Danyang cavalry, which is definitely one of the elite soldiers in the world, compared with the Yanzhou cavalry, there is still an unreachable distance, not to mention that Gao Shun also brought out his most elite trapping camp this time. As soon as the battle began, the Danyang Iron Cavalry fell into a situation of passive beating, and the seamless cooperation between the Yanzhou cavalry and the Yanzhou light and heavy infantry was vividly played, and the Danyang cavalry was defeated and retreated.

After the battle, Cao Cao's army was forced to retreat thirty miles by the trapped camp and the advance of the Yanzhou iron cavalry.

The news of this battle immediately reached Cao Cao, who was stationed in the East China Sea, and Cao Cao was shocked, they thought that Gao Shun's army would suddenly appear in Xuzhou. All the time. Cao Cao thought that with Xu Shu in the Central Plains, the Yanzhou army would be hesitant even if it took action. It's never that fast. Unless it's Xu Ji coming back.

However, Cao Cao didn't think so, because it was too late in time. Unless the army under Xu Ji has wings.

The only explanation is that Gao Shun's march was an assertive.

As a result, Cao Cao's main force immediately left the East China Sea the day after Gao Shun and Yu Tuo's victory, approaching Gao Shun and Yu Tuo, preparing to defeat Gao Shun's army in one fell swoop. Cao Cao knew it in his heart. Gao Shun army is known as the world's first hero, since its inception, there has been no defeat in his life, therefore. If you can defeat Gao Shun's army, it will definitely be a great boost to the morale of your own army, and the Yanzhou army will also become depressed because of Gao Shun's defeat.

Therefore. Cao Cao wounded his generals and pressed it with all his might.

Only the military advisor Mao Jie felt that something was wrong. It is believed that Cao Cao should pay more attention to the movements of other armies. Of course, Cao Cao thought that Mao Jie's worries were justified, after all, the way of the battlefield was ever-changing, and he didn't dare to say that he was invincible. However, Cao Cao didn't pay too much attention to it, because his plan was very perfect, Cao Mengde never thought that he would fail, he thought that even if there would be some trouble, it would definitely be caused by the Yanzhou army. And this does not affect the general trend of the world created by itself.

Cao Cao didn't think of it at all. News of their own cities has now been blocked, and the armies of each city are struggling to support it. On the whole, we have now reached the stage of strategic stalemate that Xu Ji hoped, and the key to the strategic counteroffensive. It's completely on Xun You.

Before the Central Plains War, Zhang Ji had already sent his own army and began to hunt down the family in Runan City. All those families who once expressed their dissatisfaction with Xu Ji were all the targets of arrest.

In just one day. The children of the big families in Yuzhou and from other places were all arrested because they couldn't stand Xu Ji's reforms. The news quickly reached Xu Ji.

When Xu Ji got the news. It was the time when the battle on the Central Plains battlefield began.

Xu Ji knew that now was the best time to force the mysterious Sun Ce army in front of him to reveal his true purpose.

The next day, Xu Ji took Deng Ai, Li Yan, Wei Yan and others to lead the army out of the city to fight against the enemy. After a short time, an army was listed in the camp on the opposite side and set up a position in front of Xu Ji.

Li Yanzong immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Please answer the leader on the other side!" ”

A cavalryman on the opposite side came out and said in a loud voice: "Is it General Li Yan on the other side?" My boss said that only when General Xu Ji, the master of Sikong, came here in person, my boss would answer, and everyone else would not be allowed to talk. Li Yan was angry in his heart, he didn't expect the lord of his three armies to come out to speak, the other party actually only sent a small soldier out, obviously he didn't put himself in his eyes, and the generals around him also showed uncertainty on their faces, Wei Yan snorted heavily with his nose, expressing dissatisfaction, and he didn't want Li Yan to be angry anymore, so he rode out and said in a loud voice: "My lord is here, please ask your landlord to come out and answer." ”

Unexpectedly, the little soldier on the opposite side was even more arrogant, and actually shouted: "You said that Xu Ji is here, Xu Ji is here......" This time even Xu Ji, who has excellent literacy, was a little angry, without saying a word, he copied it behind his body with his left hand, and the strong bow that had accompanied him for many years and shot countless enemies had magically appeared on Xu Ji's slender hand.

Because the speed was too fast, the viewers next to him intuitively saw a flower in front of them, and a cloud of black gas diffused behind Xu Ji, just like the open wings of an eagle on the horizon, covering the sky and the sun, which was terrifying, and unconsciously produced a kind of trembling awe.

Just when everyone was still speculating and reminiscing, the bowstring sounded. Five cold rays of light shot out from Xu Ji's hand, and it was like the first ray of sunlight in the morning, and as soon as you opened your eyes, you were already in front of you.

Of course, Xu Ji is showing his best bow and arrow skills, one bow and five arrows. This is also Xu Ji's unique ability, even Chen Zhi can only do three arrows.

Before the little soldier could understand what was going on, his sleeves, pants, and the leather helmet on his head had been pierced by Xu Ji's carved arrows! The soldier let out an awkward "ah" and rolled over and dismounted.

It's so fast!

Xu Ji's skill was shocking, and all the soldiers in front of the two armies were impressed by Xu Ji's amazing performance, opened their mouths and turned into an "O" shape, making "oh" sounds, and these sounds erupted in an instant, forming a mountain and tsunami sound.

The military god of Yanzhou really lives up to its name! Although there are only two people in the world who have seen Xu Ji's shot. Xu Ji's longbow at this time had already been retracted on his back, but the man had already stepped out of his horse, and said proudly: "Xu Ji is here, the leader on the opposite side comes out, don't you even know Xu Ji's unique archery skills?" ”

The sound was not loud, but it was low and powerful in the hearts of everyone on the battlefield, making people's hearts jump twice unconsciously.

In an instant, the air on the entire battlefield froze. The Jingzhou army was silent, but their voices seemed to be heard by everyone.

Is this Xu Ji, the god of the Yanzhou army? (To be continued......)
