"Li Yang's game of chess is too big!"

Dozens of miles outside Chang'an City, there is a tall camp tent in the endless joint camp.

Cao Cao looked at the information in his hand and let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Lord, don't worry, now that Li Yang is on both sides, he has no time to take care of us, the lord only needs to lay down Chang'an, go south, seize Yizhou, and defend it according to the natural danger in Shuzhong, and he will definitely be able to return to the Central Plains!"

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai who was speaking, and frowned, "We don't want Luoyang?" ”

"Li Yang has already captured Bishui, if he wins the state again, then Luoyang will be completely exposed to Li Yang's hands, it is better not to defend it!"

"Lord, what Zhicai said is good, Luoyang has been exposed to Li Yang's minions, but Shuzhong is different, there is abundant grain and grass, and the land is thick and rich, which can make me and others develop steadily!"

The scribe who spoke again was Xun Yu, and he and Xi Zhicai were the most powerful strategists under Cao Cao, and the two had the same opinion, so Cao Cao would not have other opinions.

"Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son are much easier to deal with than Li Yangke." Cao Cao nodded and muttered.

"Lord, now that Liu Yanxin has not long died, Liu Zhang has just succeeded to the throne, and his power is already unstable, so it is the right time for us to attack!"

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What Zhicai said is reasonable, but the top priority now is to break through Chang'an City in front of him. ”

"The lord is wise!" Xi Zhicai smiled at the corner of his mouth and bowed his head to praise.

The lord he is with is really right, after many setbacks, he is still heroic, and his talents are undoubtedly revealed!

Suddenly, Xi Zhicai felt a stuffy pain in his chest, coughed violently, and during the sweet throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he passed out in the anxious eyes of Cao Cao and others.

…………

Huang Zhong wiped the sweat on his face and stared at the tall city wall in front of him.

At this time, one of the lieutenant generals of the Legion of the Sun Chasing Regiment, hurried over and reported, "General! The enemy's walls are heavily defended, and if this side continues to attack, I am afraid that the casualties will be ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Zhong, "The lord strictly ordered to capture Shangdang as quickly as possible, and then go to Taiyuan, if you don't attack strongly, I'm afraid it will take a long time, so you won't be able to complete the lord's order." ”

Huang Zhong understood that now his battlefield has become the key, only when they enter Taiyuan City and attract Zhang Hua back, can Tai Shici control the situation and Jizhou make a breakthrough.

"Now that the enemy has just fought a big battle, the defensive strength of the city has definitely not fully recovered, and it is the best time for us to attack."

After saying that, Huang Zhong turned his head and said to the deputy general just now, "Pass my general's order, the whole army will attack, and you must capture this city today!" ”

After hearing this, the adjutant general was obviously a little hesitant, but it was only a few seconds, and he immediately went to give the order.

Waiting for the deputy general to give the order, Huang Zhong issued another order, and the archers slowly came out and rushed straight to the city under Huang Zhong's order.

The day-by-day archers, also known as the day-by-day archers, are the ace troops of the day-by-day legions, and they are generally not easily excluded.

Now except for the 10,000 day-to-day archers in the hands of Zhao Yun, who commanded the rampant Giant Deer and Wei County, the others are here.

But Zhang Yan's ability is also very strong, and it can be said that he is the most capable person in the yellow scarf today.

Under the onslaught of the Sun Legion, the city was in danger, but it stood up for so long.

In the end, Huang Zhong couldn't wait, regardless of the adjutant general's obstruction, he took his personal guards into battle in person, and then attacked the city.

Zhang Yan also knew that he couldn't hold it, so after seeing the enemy general on the field in person, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly led people to retreat.

It was precisely because of his decisiveness that he was able to withdraw from the city and flee to Jinyang City before Huang Zhong besieged him.

In fact, Huang Zhongle also saw this.

The casualties of the daily army in this battle exceeded 100,000, which can be said to be the heaviest casualties so far.

Normally, with such heavy casualties, plus the fact that a city has just been breached, it is reasonable to take a rest.

However, after Huang Zhong conquered the city, he did not hesitate at all, chased after the fleeing Zhang Yan, and rushed into Taiyuan County.

Huang Zhong himself knew that not only would the soldiers be extremely tired and easily ambushed, but also the logistics would not be able to keep up.

But Huang Zhong couldn't take care of it.

If you want to quickly force Zhang Hua to come back to help, it will definitely not work like Cao Cao, not to mention that now, only Zhang Yan is left in the Bingzhou army, Huang Zhong firmly believes that as long as he chases and fights fiercely, and does not give them a chance to resist, it will be quite beneficial for him to break through Taiyuan.

Between chasing and catching up, the two sides finally came to Jinyang City!

Huang Zhong looked at the tall city in front of him and couldn't help but let out a deep breath.

These days of fierce pursuit, although he has been quite firm and calm, but he is also afraid in his heart, afraid that a force will suddenly appear to ambush them.

Moreover, the soldiers have gradually become tired in the past few days, and the grain and grass have gradually run out, if they continue to chase like this, I am afraid that they will run out of ammunition and food, and the remaining more than 300,000 troops will be buried here.

But now that he had reached his destination, he still couldn't relax.

Not only is the Sun-Chasing Legion now short of supplies, but they also have to worry about raids inside the city.

Huang Zhong had no choice but to camp in place and build fortifications, waiting for logistical supplies to arrive.

All of Li Yang's armies, the quality of combat effectiveness and the ability of famous generals are much higher than those of other princes, if it were not for the limitation of grain and grass and military resources, Li Yang and other princes would probably be invincible in advance now.

Now, even if Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou have enough grain and grass, they are useless to the Tiger Legion and the Sun Chasing Legion that go deep into the enemy's hinterland.

One can't be transported, and the other is difficult to transport!

Besides, Huang Zhong here, he also understands that logistics and supply transportation are difficult, and now he is in urgent need, so he has to find another way.

The big families near Jinyang City in Bingzhou suffered from the seedlings, and Huang Zhong was extraordinary to the people, but he would not be soft on them.

Of course, Huang Zhong obediently handed over the grain and grass, and the more obedient part of the family, Huang Zhong still kept them.

Including Li Yang is also well aware of the difficulties of Huang Zhong's logistics, and he naturally will not ignore Huang Zhong's troops.

Therefore, when Huang Zhong attacked Shangdang, he divided a part of his troops and went to attack Tongguan, taking advantage of Huang Zhong's attack on Shangdang and the chaos in Shangdang County, Li Yang also successfully captured Tongguan.

After Tongguan is in hand, supplies can also be transported through Tongguan from Li Yang.

At the same time, Tongguan was also used as a retreat for Huang Zhong's army when he retreated, and when Zhang Hua retreated, if he couldn't do anything, he could also evacuate from here and annex the state.

When Li Yang got the news that Huang Zhong had called Jinyang, he slapped his thigh happily.

Although the casualties of the Infantry Legion made him a little sad and distressed, the time results achieved were still something that Li Yang was happy to see.

Immediately, Li Yang ordered someone to go to Zhang Hua to inform him quickly, and the speed even exceeded that of the people sent by Zhang Yan.

Li Yang is not in a hurry, Li Yang just received information from Chang Shan a few days ago, and Xuanyuan Honglie may not be able to hold out for long.

If it is delayed for another month, I am afraid that Zhang Hua will be able to break through the city and take Xuanyuan Honglie, which is quite unfavorable to his later plans.

At the very least, when the time comes, Xuanyuan Honglie's movements are unknown, and the movement of the army led by himself will also be blocked.

If Xuanyuan Honglie takes advantage of the chaos to escape back, it will be even more troublesome.

Therefore, when Huang Zhong came with the news, Li Yang was so happy.

Now it's just a matter of looking at the direction of the war in the north! Li Yang stared at Huang Zhong's intelligence and muttered to himself, "The real counterattack has just begun!" ”
