Chapter 258: Cao Cao's Counterattack (3/6)

"Chu Zimou is not in Xuzhou, this is a fortunate thing, otherwise he will spoil my good deeds!"

When Cao Cao went to Chutian to participate in the national war, he was plotting to counterattack the Yanzhou coalition army.

Chu Tian's plan pitted Cao Cao, and Cao Cao delayed the development of at least half a year because of this. Without Chu Tian's support for Jiyin Taishou Gongziwen, he would not have been able to call on so many lords to oppose Cao Cao.

Chu Tian's appeal among the player lords was too great. Gongziwen, who had Chutian's support, said nothing in the anti-Cao Cao alliance, so he could mobilize the forces of various lords in Yanzhou to besiege Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was anxious about this.

It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to fight back, but once he counterattacks, Chutian will definitely invest Xuzhou's main force to aid Gongziwen, and Cao Cao will still fail.

But no matter what, in order to participate in the second national war, Chu Zimou took the main force away, and this was Cao Cao's opportunity.

The Yiren staff reported: "The 500 tiger and leopard cavalry secretly recruited during this period can be put into use, and the 30,000 Qingzhou troops recruited for General Yu Ban are also ready. ”

"Whoever wins the son's literati, the bounty is one thousand!"

In order to boost morale, Cao Cao did not hesitate to reward Gongzi Wen, the leader of the anti-Cao Cao Alliance.

Gongziwen and Chu Zimou were in cahoots and had been suppressing him in Yanzhou, resulting in his inability to develop.

So far, Cao Cao is only a Taishou of Dongjun, and half of the territory of Dongjun is still occupied by the anti-Cao Cao alliance.

"Lord, taking advantage of Chu Zimou's departure from Xuzhou and having no time to take care of Yanzhou, we must break the situation as soon as possible and occupy Yanzhou. Otherwise, once Chu Zimou returns, he will definitely not stand idly by. This is the only chance. ”

The Inhuman staff is earnest.

They took refuge in Cao Cao because Cao Cao was more meritocracy than other princes, and many suggestions could be listened to.

"Our troops are still insufficient, can we find a way to win quickly?"

"Yes. The lord only needs to call Yuan Shao a minister, ask Yuan Shao to quit the army, or even borrow troops, first break Gongziwen, occupy Yanzhou, and then wait for the opportunity to break with Yuan Shao. Please don't care about the dignity and humility of the moment, improving the strength is everything. ”

Cao Cao listened to the suggestion of the Yiren staff, and finally said slowly: "If you surrender to Yuan Benchu, you can get Yanzhou, so what's the matter." ”

"If you go down to lobby Xu You, you will definitely succeed."

……

The anti-Cao Cao Alliance, the leader of the alliance, Gongzi Wen, announced his determination to the lords of Yanzhou: "Chu Zimou is going to participate in the national war, and we must defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible." Otherwise, Chu Zimou will come back, and we will defeat Cao Cao with hard work, and we will become someone else's wedding dress. ”

The various great lords of Yanzhou all agreed with Gongziwen's proposal.

They also knew Chu Tian's purpose for supporting them to suppress Cao Cao, but they had no choice.

"From tomorrow onwards, we will attack Cao Cao day and night, and Cao Cao will be subdued! If he's willing to play for us, great! ”

The Yanzhou coalition forces once again fought a decisive battle with Cao Cao's army outside Puyang.

Cao Cao took Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Le Jin, Zhang Liao and other generals into battle.

With the support of the Yiren, Cao Cao's power recovered slightly and decided to invite the Yanzhou coalition forces to a decisive battle.

The two sides lined up to confront each other, Cao Cao's side was only tens of thousands of people, and the Yanzhou coalition army was replenished, and under Puyang City, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses were gathered!

The war drums beat, and the Yanzhou coalition army took the initiative to attack Cao Cao's army!

They are numerous and have an absolute advantage.

The shouts of killing on both sides shook the heavens and the earth, and a big battle was fought under Puyang City, and hundreds of thousands of people in Puyang City were terrified.

This battle may decide the belonging and fate of Yanzhou!

Gongziwen was originally the lord of Dongjun, in order to avoid Cao Cao's edge, he moved to Dingtao in Jiyin County, and now he returned to Dongjun to compete with Cao Cao for the position of Yanzhou pastor.

The battle between the two sides is in full swing, and Yu Ban led 30,000 Qingzhou troops to press!

Cao Chun led five hundred secretly recruited tiger and leopard horsemen to charge from the rear!

Zhang Liao personally led 800 cavalry to fight with the Yanzhou coalition army, and shocked Dongjun!

……

"The weather is cold, the big thing is not good, the Yanzhou coalition army was defeated, the army's heart was shaken, Gongziwen led the coalition army to retreat from Dongjun, intending to retreat to Dingtao, in order to counterattack."

After Xia Liang tried to recruit Zhang Zhao, there was something for her to worry about. Yukitsuki, who is responsible for using the player's intelligence, reports important news.

What Chu Tian feared most before leaving Xuzhou happened - Cao Cao defeated the Yanzhou coalition army, and there was a tendency to sweep the entire Yanzhou!

After the victory in the Battle of Xuzhou, Chutian himself took advantage of the momentum of victory and successively captured the Donghai Kingdom, Xiapi Kingdom, and Pengcheng Kingdom in Xuzhou, and became the pastor of Xuzhou.

In the same way, if Cao Cao wins, he will have the ability and prestige to unify Yanzhou!

"Gongziwen can be regarded by the lord as a pawn to delay Cao Cao's development, and he must have something extraordinary. He has a large number of troops and a military general, why did he lose to Cao Cao? ”

Summer is incomprehensible.

Cao Cao secretly declared himself a vassal to Yuan Shao and was willing to pacify the land of Henan for the Yuan family, so Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang to stop attacking Cao Cao. Cao Cao was able to send all his forces against Gongziwen. ”

"Most of the players of Yuan Shao's forces don't want to see our family lord dominating the family south of the Yellow River, so they want to support Cao Cao to fight against our lord."

Xia Liang speculated that it was the players of Yuan Shao's forces who contributed to the reconciliation between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, otherwise with Yuan Shao's character, after tearing his face with Cao Cao, he would not easily give up attacking Cao Cao.

Cao Cao turned back into Yuan Shao's younger brother, and Yuan Shao saw that his goal was achieved, so he let Cao Cao control Yanzhou and threaten Xuzhou.

The great war north of the Yellow River continued, and the lords south of the Yellow River dominated the family.

In addition to Cao Cao, there was a lack of strong princes south of the Yellow River to balance Chutian, so Yuan Shao's forces temporarily ignored their previous suspicions and continued to cooperate to balance Chutian.

"Xueyue, does Gongziwen have the ability to keep Dingtao?"

"Although the Yanzhou coalition army was defeated by Cao Cao during the battle, it did not completely collapse, and the losses were not large, and most of them could be defended."

"You tell Gongziwen that if he wants to hold on, Xuzhou will send troops to support him."

"Are you going to send troops?"

"Hmm. Your lord has left me the right to send troops appropriately. I can't sit idly by and watch Cao Cao annex Gongziwen. Cao Cao, who unified Yanzhou, would be very strong. ”

"But...... The opponent is Cao Cao, can you compete with him? ”

"We have Zhou Yafu here, as long as we assist Gongziwen to guard the Dingtao in Jiyin County."

"I see."

After ending contact with Xueyue, Xia Liang summoned Zhou Yafu, who is currently stationed in Xiapi.

"General Zhou Yafu, I order your army to be transferred to Pengcheng, and then Pengcheng will attack Pei County and Feng County. After capturing Pei County and Feng County, he supported Dingtao. When you arrive in Dingtao, I will personally use the teleportation array to go to Dingtao City to command. ”

Zhou Yafu had no opinion on accepting Xia Liang's order, but he had an objection to Xia Liang personally going to Dingtao to command: "Please Miss Xia don't risk yourself." Once Cao Cao besieges the city and the teleportation array fails, Miss Xia, you will be in danger. ”

"You just do what you do."

"The last will obey."

Zhou Yafu left.

"Zhou Yafu and Zhou Cang can contain Cao Cao, this should be the reason why the lord left them. It would be nice if there were more generals. Yes, there is another Xu Rong who did not surrender. ”

In the summer, it was cool to let Xu Rong, who was tied up with five flowers, come over.

"General Xu, you have been imprisoned for several months, have you figured it out?"

Xia Liang knew that Chu Tian had been persuading Xu Rong to surrender, but Xu Rong had never surrendered.

"If your lord Dong Zhuo is named Xiangguo and deposes the Han Emperor, will you continue to be loyal to him? If your lord is in a corner of the wine pond and a corner of peace, and you don't have the determination to help the world, nor do you have the ambition to chase the Central Plains, will you continue to be loyal to him? After General Huaxiong took refuge in our Xuzhou Muda, he has a harmonious relationship with the generals and has made great contributions. Why should General Xu pretend to be reserved, even if I am not as good as a woman? ”

Summer's cool words stimulated Xu Rong, and Xu Rong finally wavered: "Could it be that Dong Zhuo has really lost his ambition?" ”

"He is old, he has long been unable to make progress, and he has cholera court, so there is really no need to follow him. In contrast, the state pastor is young and promising, and ......"

Xia Liang originally wanted to say that he was handsome, but it seemed that this characteristic had nothing to do with Xu Rong, so he said: "It's only a talent move." ”

"That's it. I really didn't expect to be scolded by a woman today. The girl hastily summoned me to surrender, presumably with orders. ”

"Yes, I'm going to ask you to deal with someone."

"Who?"

"Cao Cao."

"But Cao Mengde? Isn't he an ally with you? ”

"There are no eternal friends between forces, only eternal interests. General Xu wouldn't fail to understand this truth, would he? ”

"That girl believes that Xu Rong will not betray me temporarily?"

"I'm sure you won't have a better choice. The lord of our family is the most promising state pastor south of the Yellow River. ”

"I see."

Xu Rong was reprimanded, but surrendered.

If Chu Tian knew that it was cool in the summer and recruited Xu Rong so easily, he would definitely be very depressed.

In the summer, Liang sent Xu Rong to assist the Yanzhou coalition forces in resisting Cao Cao's offensive.

Xu Rong was a great enemy to Cao Cao.

"Since he is trusted, then the last general will go to Dingtao."

After Xia Liang left Xu Rong, he thought for a while: "Let Chen Qi present the map of Guangling County, let Chen Deng recruit 10,000 new soldiers in Tancheng, and let the attacking army that Le Yi did not take away move to Huaiyin County, and the Mifang army move to Qu County." When the war was over, he immediately attacked Guangling County and captured the last county of Xuzhou. Regardless of whether Cao Cao can be stopped or not, the speed at which we unify Xuzhou will definitely be faster than the speed at which Cao Cao unifies Yanzhou. ”

……

Gongzi Wenxin, the lord of the Yanzhou coalition army, was defeated in the Battle of Puyang.

He didn't expect Yuan Shao to betray his promise and stop attacking Cao Cao from the direction of the white horse.

Cao Cao also received the assistance of the generals Zhang Liao and Yu Ban, secretly recruited tiger and leopard cavalry, and finally defeated Gongzi Wen's loose coalition army.

"I originally thought that the situation would change after Chu Zimou left Xuzhou, but I didn't expect it to be even worse. Without Chu Zimou, who is in charge of Xuzhou? Will that person send troops to support me? Now it's cold lips and teeth! ”

Gongziwen turned to a defensive position, he was worried that he would not be able to hold Dingtao, and Xuzhou refused to send reinforcements.

Xue Yue took the initiative to contact Gongziwen: "Our Xiapi Prime Minister of Xuzhou has decided to send Zhou Yafu's army to support, and appointed Xu Rong as the cavalry captain to assist your coalition army in commanding the cavalry. ”

"I'm also worried that the person who manages Xuzhou's internal affairs doesn't know what it means to be cold, but I didn't expect her to react so quickly, it seems that I was too worried. With the help of Zhou Yafu and Xu Rong this time, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to capture Dingtao. ”

Gongziwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhou Yafu and Xu Rong had been sent from Xuzhou.

……

After Cao Cao's army defeated the Yanzhou coalition army, it pursued 30 kilometers to the south, killed 20,000 Yanzhou coalition troops, forced 30,000 to land, and the remaining soldiers and horses retreated in the direction of Dingtao City.

Just as Chu Tian lost half of his elite in the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao lost half of his elite after the Battle of Yanzhou.

Xun You, the mastermind who was recruited to Cao Cao's camp by the player, proposed: "Although our army has suffered a lot of losses, the morale of the enemy has been lost, so we can take advantage of the victory to pursue and conquer Yanzhou in one fell swoop, and become an immortal feat." ”

A group of players instigated: "Take this opportunity to annex the entire Yanzhou, especially capture Dingtao, the stronghold of the coalition army!" ”

Cao Cao finally won and got through the most difficult period. As long as Dingtao is laid down and Gongziwen is captured, the anti-Cao Cao alliance will naturally collapse, and no one can stop him from taking possession of Yanzhou.

Thinking that the anti-Cao Cao alliance called by Chu Zimou was about to collapse, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

"Why is the lord laughing?"

"I laughed at Chu Zi's lack of planning, and he actually left only one woman to guard the house. If he had left a talented man to guard his home, would he have allowed us to succeed? ”

"My lord, that woman...... Not long ago, he guarded his home with 10,000 and broke 100,000 coalition troops. ”

“……”

Cao Cao found himself somewhat underestimating his ability to cool in the summer.

"Report! Xuzhou sent a corps of 40,000 people to reinforce in the direction of Dingtao, and the commander was Zhou Yafu! ”

"Report! Xu Rong served as the cavalry captain of the Yanzhou Allied Army, and he has arrived in Dingtao City! ”

"Report! Other legions in Xuzhou are mobilized, the location of the march is unknown, the location of the garrison is unknown, and some towns are recruiting troops, and the purpose is unknown! ”

When Cao Cao learned of Xuzhou's quick reaction, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. Originally, he could occupy the entire Yanzhou in one go, but now that the Xuzhou forces have intervened in the battle for Yanzhou, he doesn't know that it will take the Year of the Monkey to succeed in attacking Dingtao.

"Chu Zi has a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for."

Cao Cao was targeted again and was greatly depressed, and this time he was going to compete with Zhou Yafu.

As long as Zhou Yafu can't hold out and drag Chu Zimou's main force back to Xuzhou, then Cao Cao will once again face the fear of being dominated by Chu Zimou.

……

Chutian, who was located on the battlefield of the National War, did not know what happened in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, so he could only hand it over to his subordinates.

He gathered a large number of troops and prepared to go on to eliminate a lord of Goryeo and a lord of Dongyeong.

The injured Zhao Yun was left by Chutian to defend the city, and Shi Wansui, a fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, temporarily took Zhao Yun's place.

Chu Tian gathered 12,000 main forces, including Zhao Long's Jizhou cavalry, and 14,000 servants, to attack the city near the western woods.

"I wonder if Cao Cao is still being suppressed by Gongziwen?"

"And what about Xuzhou now......

Chu Tian suddenly felt a little relieved about the matter of Xuzhou.

Although Zhou Yafu was left, there was only one Zhou Yafu, and it was overstretched to use.
