Chapter 412: Surprise

In the Xuzhou Thorn Mansion, Chen Jue explained the current situation in one word, and the scene suddenly quieted down.

Seeing that they were silent, Chen Qi continued: "Now Li Qingzhou has two choices, one is to give up Xuzhou and fully defend against the attacks of various princes, Xuzhou can be guaranteed to be safe for a while, but it has become a borderless land, and sooner or later it will be divided by the princes. ”

"Second, the army quickly moved south, took the two counties of Langya and Donghai with lightning speed, and then coped with the pressure from the north and south."

Speaking of this, Chen Jue pondered for a moment, and then continued: "I think the last possibility is more likely, because Li Yang has already sent troops to cut off the retreat of the army going north to Xuzhou. ”

"Old Man Chen wants us to take refuge in Li Yang? I'm afraid it's for your son! Mi Zhu sneered and said to Chen Jue: "What's more, whether these letters are true or false remains to be verified." ”

"It should be true." Jian Yong, who was in charge of intelligence, said: "A few days ago, an external spy came to report that Yuan Shao gathered 800,000 troops to attack Qingzhou Plain County, and between Xuzhou and Yangzhou, there are often large-scale battles in the Yangtze River. ”

"It's too coincidental, isn't it, could it be a trap?" Mi Zhu wondered.

"No!" Jian Yong shook his head, "I originally had a thorn in mind, but the people who sent back the information were the first few to follow the lord, who were originally the family members in the Three Generals' Mansion, and their loyalty to the lord was still credible, and they would not pass on false news." ”

"That's right, I've seen those people too, and they won't lie." Guan Yu said in a deep voice on the side.

"That's right." Chen Qi hurriedly added, "I do favor Li Yang, but not only because of my son, but also for the whole of Xuzhou." ”

"This year, the changes in Qingzhou under his governance, I believe you should all know that if Xuande Gong was here, it would definitely not be worse, but ...... The situation is stronger than the man. ”

The room was quiet again, and it lasted for a long time before it was broken by Mi Zhu.

"I don't think it's appropriate to talk about this topic now that the lord has just died, not to mention that we still have two million troops in the north."

"I'll take care of my eldest brother's funeral first, and then I'll talk about the rest!" Guan Yu made up his mind, and after speaking, he put on a white coat and walked out, obviously to see Liu Bei.

Guan Yu is gone, and Mi Zhu and the three of them have also dispersed.

Back in the mansion, Chen Qi called a cronie and said to him cautiously: "Quickly go and inform Chen Deng, let him contact Li Yang, and show favor, if Cao Bao has a move, you can take the opportunity to get rid of it." ”

"It's really amazing to be thoughtful, and to clean yourself up after you're done!" Chen Qi looked at the cronies who had gone away and muttered with a smile.

After that, Chen Jue's eyes were cold, and he looked in the direction of Tancheng, "Don't blame me, I'm also for the family." ”

A few days later, on the border of Langya County, Li Yang received a letter from Bai Qi in the big tent.

"The situation in Tancheng is stable, and it must be resolved quickly." Putting down the letter in his hand, Li Yang said, "I'm more worried about the situation in the north. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, with Ziyi and Fengxiao, no matter how strong Xuanyuan's soldiers and horses are, they can't be defeated for a while." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

Li Yang nodded, then looked at Zhao Yun and said, "I plan to let Zilong lead 10,000 Yanyun Iron Cavalry to assist Zang Ba, what do the second and third brothers think?" ”

Zhang Liang pondered, "It's feasible!" ”

Zhao Yun stood up, "Big brother, rest assured, Zilong will not fail in his mission." ”

Li Yang raised his hand to sit down, and was about to continue, but at this moment, a herald hurriedly ran in.

"Tell the lord, a feathered arrow was shot from outside the camp, and a letter was tied to it."

"Oh!" Li Yang looked puzzled, who would write in this way at this time, he beckoned to the herald, "Take it and take a look." ”

After taking it from the herald's hand, Li Yang's face went from doubt to surprise, then to surprise, and finally back to a puzzled look.

Zhang Liang and the others all looked at Li Yang suspiciously, not understanding why their faces changed so quickly.

"Look, you all see." At this time, Li Yang also came to his senses and handed it to Zhang Liang.

"Could this be Chen Deng's trick?" Li Yang asked suspiciously.

Zhang Liang passed the letter to Zhao Yun, shook his head with a smile and said, "Liu Bei is dead, they urgently need a backer, and they can get greater benefits by investing early." ”

Zhao Yun stared at the letter in front of him and said, "The letter said that Cao Bao led 200,000 troops to attack the Taishan army, if it is true, wouldn't it be obvious to give us the opportunity to weaken the Xuzhou army?" ”

"There are many families in Xuzhou, relying on each other and being suspicious of each other, which is also the reason why the Chen family has never thought about being a assassin, because if they don't have a strong backing, even if they become assassins, they will be excluded by all the families." Zhang Liang continued to explain with a smile: "The Cao family represented by Cao Bao is obviously not dealing with the Chen family, and there is another important point, as long as Cao Bao is eliminated, then he is the supreme commander of the remaining 600,000 Xuzhou military horses, and he will have more bargaining chips to talk to us." ”

Listening to Zhang Liang's explanation, Li Yang suddenly realized, and his face was full of smiles: "If he can take 600,000 troops to join me, I don't mind letting the Chen family be the assassin of Xuzhou and become their backing." ”

"But don't take it lightly." Zhang Liang continued: "I think the third brother should be asked to take Yan Yuntie to assist General Zang as soon as possible. ”

Li Yang thought so, "As the letter says, Cao Bao will organize his troops tomorrow, I'm afraid he won't set off until the afternoon, you take Yanyun Iron Cavalry to set off overnight, and make a detour to Taishan County, you should be able to meet Zang Ba before them." ”

"No!" Zhao Yun came out to receive the order.

The Yanyun Iron Cavalry is a top-level class, and it is not difficult for them to march at night.

"Third brother!" Before Zhao Yun went out, Zhang Liang stopped him, and instructed with a serious face: "If it is really led by Cao Bao, then you can try not to kill the soldiers, but Cao Bao must die." ”

"Second brother, don't worry, as long as he appears, then he will die."

Although Zhao Yun's tone was indifferent, he exuded an incomparably strong confidence.

With his force, as long as it is not guarded by someone of such force, it is basically impossible for the enemy to escape.

"By the way, after defeating Cao Bao, you ...... like this" Zhang Liang continued to command in a low voice: "Understood? ”

"Don't worry, second brother!" With that, Zhao Yun strode out.

"Zifang, what did you say to Zilong? So mysterious? Li Yang asked with a puzzled expression.

"Congratulations, big brother, I'm afraid this battle will end soon." Zhang Liang did not answer positively, but smiled.

Li Yang looked puzzled, but out of trust in Zhang Liang, he didn't ask deeply.

At the beginning of July, Cao Bao led an army of 200,000 south, despite the dissuasion of Chen Deng and the players.

I wanted to relieve the dilemma of being robbed on the back road, but I never wanted to be ambushed halfway, Cao Bao himself was shot in the throat by a silver javelin, and his entire head was almost cut off, and he couldn't die anymore.

Of the 200,000 troops, only about 50,000 escaped.

These soldiers who escaped also brought back two shocking news.

Liu Bei, the new assassin of Xuzhou, was assassinated by the potters, and Tancheng was also captured by Qingzhou soldiers, and they became completely alone.

These two pieces of news minimized the morale of the Xuzhou army.

Although players have forums, due to the war, the sources of this information are temporarily blocked and they are not aware of it.

When they learned about it, they couldn't sit still and fled from the Xuzhou military camp one after another.

In just three days, the entire camp was half empty.

In the early hours of the night that night, in the originally quiet and unusually quiet Xuzhou camp, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing, and not long after, the only remaining grain and grass in the camp rose into a raging fire.

Before the Xuzhou soldiers and players could react, the Wild Dragon and the Sun Chasing Army led by Li Yang, and the Taishan Army led by Zang Ba rushed up from both sides.

In the face of the Qingzhou soldiers who are ready to attack, most of the Xuzhou soldiers who have not even put on their armor are opponents.

Chen Deng, who had already had the intention of surrendering, gave up after a little resistance, and the battle lasted until the sun was completely rising, and it was completely over.

Of the remaining nearly one million Xuzhou troops, less than 50,000 died, and all of them surrendered.
