Qiao Rui traveled day and night, hurried to Xuchang, the situation under the city of Xuchang has basically not changed, but the counterattack in the city has become higher and higher, after all, people outside the city can not see the situation in the city, can only use the form of covering shooting back and forth within the range of strafing.

But the situation in the city is different, they can accurately see the position of the enemy, and even be able to calibrate the shooting, coupled with the player's tenacious will to fight, as well as flexible and changeable play, sometimes the sound of the east and west, sometimes scattered and urgent, the results of the three days of statistics, Yu She's results he can only estimate, but he is clear about his own losses, he lost more than 5,000 personnel, and more than 2,000 equipment, this value is a bit big.

Although it was Kong Ling who paid the money, wasn't Kong Ling's money Yuan Shu's money?

After Qiao Rui arrived, he immediately conveyed Yuan Shu's order, fully took over Yu She's command, and also ordered the seemingly meaningless long-range attack to be temporarily stopped, and the most welcome to this decision was not Yu She's long-range troops, but the players and residents of the city, who could finally sleep well!

Although Yu Shi was a little dissatisfied and aggrieved in his heart, he had nothing to argue about, this was a military camp, and if he was not careful, he would be put on a big hat that disobeyed military orders, and he would really not be able to eat it at that time! What's more, Yuan Shu has directly raised his dissatisfaction and distrust of himself through Qiao Rui's mouth, so let's be a man with his tail between his legs at this time.

After a night's rest, Qiao Rui commanded the siege again the next day, and this time, Yu Shi was directly left to guard the camp, which was also the custom, and the generals who were taken over the troops. You can't go to the front line to cause chaos for others, and you can't let him grab credit. At the same time, it is also to avoid being said by others to be the new coach's personal vendetta and send the opponent to the front to die, so Yu Shi is a little grateful to Qiao Rui.

It's a pity that Qiao Rui's distrust and idleness of Yu Shi once again made Qiao Rui suffer a big loss, these days, not only Yu Shi is destroying Xuchang with long-range troops, but the people in Xuchang City are also making full preparations. Grain and grass equipment may not be easy to transport in, but it is not difficult for things like paper runes and props to get in, not to mention, there are such and such helpers behind this.

No need to say anything about others. Cao Cao transported more than 10,000 paper talismans into Xuchang City. As an important bargaining chip in negotiations, if Xuchang's strength is not strong in the end, he will accept Cao Cao's protection. announced that Xuchang would take refuge in Cao Cao, and in addition, Xuchang would do his best to delay Qiao Rui and Yu She's southward footsteps.

As a result, Qiao Rui, who was full of confidence and waved his army to attack the city, crashed headlong into the iron plate, and unlike Yu She's caution that day, Qiao Rui's carelessness directly let 15,000 heavy infantry be killed by Song Hufeng and Dian Wei Four or five thousand. In the end, he used a fire to set the boarding car on fire, and burned a lot of them to death.

In addition, the city was bombarded with paper symbols. The offensive on the first day of the bridge can be described as a heavy loss! The shocked Qiao Rui finally understood that it was not that Yu Shi was incompetent, nor that Yu Shi lied about the military situation, but that there were really strong generals and tenacious troops in Xuchang City, but unfortunately, Qiao Rui seemed to be a little late in understanding all this.

Qiao Rui collected the troops and returned to the camp in a gray manner, although he was very faceless, but Qiao Rui still invited Yu Shi and explained to him today's fiasco, and Yu Shi was also speechless.

After taking stock, Yu Shi still has nearly 8,000 heavy infantry, 40,000 infantry, and 20,000 cavalry in his hands, and his strength is still there, but he is afraid that it will not work if he wants to look down on Xuchang, but this is exactly what Yuan Shu requires.

Qiao Rui is also an experienced general, and now that I think about it, it was also a good idea to see Yu Shi bombing Xuchang indiscriminately with long-range bombardment that day, although it was also a very helpless idea. It's just that Yu Shi can do this, but he can't, Yu Shi can be said to be waiting for reinforcements, so what about himself?

Qiao Rui was entangled...... Ladies and gentlemen, now Yuan Shao crosses the river to the south, wants to take Mount Tai to the north and suppresses the county, and Yuan Shu sends the army south to reinforce Huainan. Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to rise up and attack it, now that the battle in Xuchang is anxious, I have sent someone to reach an agreement with Song Hufeng of Xuchang to support him in defending Xuchang, and they will try their best to delay the pace of Yuan Shu's army to the south and buy time for our army. And we, on the other hand, want to take this opportunity to take Huainan County in one fell swoop and completely break the Yuan clan's encirclement of me1

"I beg the Lord to give me an order, and we are willing to go forward to the Lord 1

"Ask the Lord to give the order1

Cao Cao glanced at the generals under the stairs with satisfaction, Cao Cao had already asked the servants to move the desk, and now behind Cao Cao was a huge map, Cao Cao was standing in front of the map and giving an impassioned speech, and on the other side of the map, there was a quiet drama talent.

Cao Cao pulled out the long sword on his waist with a 'choked' sound, took a step back, and the long sword went up, directly on the map board!

"Here, the gateway to the east of Huainan County is Yicheng, with 20,000 defenders, and the guards are happy, Xiahoudun 1

Xiahoudun calmly stepped forward and stepped out of the ranks, looking at Cao Cao's sword tip with burning eyes, and the battle intent in his eyes was high!

"Mo will be in 1

"I order you to ride 30,000 paces and take it down.1

"The last general commanded 1

The sword in Cao Cao's hand made a 'hiss' sound, and it moved sideways along the map, stopping at the next position.

"After taking Yicheng, he waved his army south to capture Xiquyang1

"No1

Cao Cao nodded and moved his sword again.

"Xiahou Yuan1

"In 1

"I ordered you to lead 30,000 cavalry, bypass Ping'a, and rush south to Chengde, but only give you three days1

"The last general will take down Chengde, otherwise he will come to see 1

Li Dian 1

"Mo will be in 1

"Together with this official, you will lead 50,000 cavalry to capture Ping'a and Xia Cai, and encircle Shouchun 1

"The last general commanded 1

"Drama Zhicai! Cao Ren 1

"Subordinate in the 1

"Order the two of you to be stationed in Qian County, and Zhicai will be in charge of the military and political affairs of Qian County, and there must be no mistakes! Cao Ren was in charge of transporting south. ”

"No1

The sword in Cao Cao's hand pierced into the floor in front of his feet, Cao Cao held the sword in one hand, and shook his fist with the other, as if he was going to smash something:

"Everyone. Life and death are at stake here1

"I want to die for the Lord...... Cao Cao's preparations were quite adequate, because he had foreseen the situation in advance. Therefore, Cao Cao's troops were able to quietly lurk in Longyou County, in the south of Qian County, and launched an attack from the Huainan defenders without any preparation.

The raid of Cao's army was very smooth, on June 13 of the second year of Guangxi, the defenders of Ping'a and Yicheng barely formed a decent resistance, and lost the city wall under the first round of siege, and then were attacked by cavalry, and the defenders immediately collapsed, and the local officials who did not come and fled simply surrendered.

Then Cao Cao and Xiahou divided into two routes, and successively attacked Xia Cai and Xiquyang. And Xiahou Yuan traveled day and night to Chengde in the south of Shouchun.

On the third day of Cao Cao's attack on Huainan, Xia Cai and Xiquyang were lost respectively, and Chengde was also lightly taken by Xiahou Yuan, who was running thousands of miles that night, and Cao Cao's strategic deployment of besieging Shouchun on three sides was completed.

Liang Gang, who was stationed in Shouchun, and Le who fled back from Yicheng. and Chen Ji, who escaped back from Shangcai, had no idea. The order he received from Yuan Shu was to hold on and wait for reinforcements, but where were the reinforcements?

News has just come from Chengde that Chengde has also been lost. Now it is Yangquan in the west, although it is Zhu Jun's jurisdiction, but there are not many troops there at all, Zhu Jun's troops are concentrated in the north and south of Ru, and Yu Shi and Qiaorui, who should have gone south, are still patrolling around Xuchang at the moment. I heard that it was entangled by the Inhuman army.

In fact, even if no one pesters them. At their current speed, it will take ten days and half a month to leave at the earliest, and even if their cavalry arrives first, that amount is probably only for Cao Cao to deliver food.

Now there are only two roads in front of the three of them, defend them! If you look at the scale of the city, the giant city of Shouchun is difficult to be breached, not to mention that a large number of militias can be recruited, there are more than one million people in Shouchun City, and it is too simple to recruit more than 100,000 or 200,000 militiamen, but the giant city also has the trouble of the giant city, that is, the city wall is too long, even if there are hundreds of thousands of defenders, it seems that it is a little single to protect on the long city wall, and it is still a more feasible means to defend the city.

Another option is to take advantage of the fact that it has not yet been encircled, and quickly retreat to Yangquan, in order to make another day, maybe when Yu She's and Qiao Rui's troops arrive, they can recapture Shouchun?

Yuan Shu did not hesitate to order to defend to the death, but Liang Gang and the other three had different views, it was okay to defend Shouchun, but Shouchun would become a burden, and Yuan Shu must continue to invest troops in Shouchun, and these troops were originally to ensure the safety of Luoyang.

Also, coming from Luoyang, it is a labor expedition, a long journey, and a long supply line, which are all very unfavorable factors.

Therefore, instead of fighting Cao Cao in Huainan, it is better to reverse, let Shouchun out, and then raid Qian County with heavy troops, forming a pattern of encircling Wei to save Zhao, so that it seems that he will be more active, rather than being led by Cao Cao!

Unfortunately, the proposal of the three was directly rejected by Yuan Shu, and reprimanded the proposal of the three as a cowardly pretext, and strictly ordered the three to defend Shouchun, drag Cao Cao's main force, and send troops to attack Qian County.

Yuan Shu's idea is also good, but where does the army come from?

Zhu Jun's troops can't move, and it's not easy to move, Kong Ling's troops needless to say, they are useless at all, Yu Shi and Qiao Rui? These two guys are still shouting for reinforcements, as for Ji Ling and Zhang Xun's troops, this is to protect Luoyang, Henan, and Hongnong, how can they move?

Yuan Shu hesitated, but this is definitely a fatal hesitation, at this time Yuan Shu's hesitation is to show weakness, that is, a manifestation of incompetence, and Yuan Shu's side, now surrounded by wolves, Cao Cao is the first hungry wolf to do it, once Cao Cao succeeds and Yuan Shu shows a weak image, the hungry wolves around him immediately saw the opportunity and pounced.

Yuan Shu is in trouble! rq！ ~！
