After Fang Zhiwen captured Pengcheng, the gate of Qian County was already open, and this was originally a good time to drive straight into Qian County, but Fang Zhiwen seemed to turn a blind eye, just busy rectifying the harvest of Pengcheng, and at the same time ordered Murong Fang to go east and capture Tancheng, and ordered Xu Huang to turn to the southeast to assist Huang Xu in besieging Xia Picheng, and missed the great opportunity to capture Xiangxian where the defenders were empty and watch for Qian County.

Xu Huang received the order and was also puzzled, but the order is the order, he had to follow the order, Xu Huang set off from the southwest of Nancheng, only to bypass the Lanling City that had been captured by the aliens, Xu Huang was caught up by Xu Shu, it turned out that Xu Shu had been ordered to move the headquarters south, ready to advance to the vicinity of Xiapi, as for the surroundings of Mount Tai, Kuai Liang had gone south to temporarily replace Xu Shu as the commander-in-chief around Mount Tai.

Xu Huang was suspicious of his stomach, and Xu Shu's sudden appearance was just enough to solve Xu Huang's problem.

It's just that the suspicion has not had time to be solved, Xu Shu first added a new suspicion to Xu Huang, and the first order after Xu Shu and Xu Huang returned to the division was to rest on the spot, which made Xu Huang, who had rushed all the way like the wind, suddenly depressed.

Xu Shu found a stone on the grassy slope, sat on the stone and drank water slowly, watching the soldiers under the hillside sitting on the ground, or watching the horses grazing on the grass, a leisurely appearance of a horse on Nanshan, Xu Huang's heart was on fire, now the war is tight, but he is here leisurely, it is simply unreasonable!

Xu Huang turned around, walked to Xu Shu angrily, sat on the stone on the side, looked at Xu Shu and said, "Sir, why is this!" Time is life on the battlefield, isn't this what you taught me, now that the war is in full swing, why are we here to be idle and idle, the war horse is obviously quite full of physical strength, why do we need to rest1

"Hehe," Xu Shu looked at Xu Huang, who was sweating in a hurry, and smiled: "Of course, time is very important, but whether it is necessary to grab time at any time depends on the actual needs of strategy and tactics, things on the battlefield are not dead, because people are alive, and those who are alive will move, and there will be changes if they move, and if you blindly admit the reason of death, bite the so-called reason and do not relax, in the end, it will definitely be yourself who suffers, the army is impermanent, like water and wind, and you must not stick to dogma." ”

"Uh" The sweat on Xu Huang's head became more cheerful, and he didn't expect to complain, but he was preached by Xu Shu, which was really boring.

"Sir, isn't it because I don't know, you can't explain why we are not in a hurry, this Picheng will be broken one day sooner, won't it make the situation on the battlefield more favorable to me1

"Yes, but if you only look at the battlefield of Xuzhou, the lord attacked Pengcheng at that time and succeeded, you and Murong Zhizhong ambushed Xiahoudun and won a big victory, this has already gained the initiative, at this time Cao Cao's eastern line of defense suddenly collapsed, the eastern front is almost undefended, and Qian County is directly under the front of our army, but why is the lord in Pengcheng not entering, busy rectifying the city and taking prisoners?"

Xu Huang took off his helmet, scratched his head vigorously, and shook his head sleepily: "The last general just doesn't understand!" I would like to ask Mr. 1

"Didn't I tell you already?"

"Told me? How could you tell the gentleman that we are resting here, which is actually the reason why the lord stopped in Pengcheng? How is this possible? ”

"Hehe," Xu Shu laughed heartily: "That's right, this can't be the reason why the lord is grinding time in Pengcheng, but it is in the same vein as the lord's practice in Pengcheng1."

Xu Huang blinked, frowned and thought hard for a while, still shaking his head for some reason, only looking at Xu Shu with his eyes, Xu Shu hated the appearance of iron not steel.

"Gongming, you can't zoom in on your vision, don't just stare at Xuzhou, this battle is an important thing for the entire Central Plains, and even an important thing for the whole world, every move in the Central Plains will definitely involve the major events of the whole world, therefore, you can't just stare at the present, but also look at the world, see what you do, what the impact on the entire grand strategy, is it in line with the interests of the entire strategy, understand?"

"I understand, I don't understand, what does this have to do with us killing time here, are we deliberately trying to give Cao Cao time to re-establish the defensive line, isn't this increasing the difficulty of our own attack? Next, it is the 1 who has to pay the price for this

"That's right! However, it is not only us who pays the price, but also Yuan Shao1

"Yuan Shao?! I see, I see! I understood 1 Xu Huang's face was in a trance, but then, he was confused again: "But sir, in this way, the price we pay for ourselves is also greater, will the gains outweigh the losses?" ”

"This needs to be carefully weighed, war is a game to defeat the enemy, and politics is a game of weighing gains and losses, war is ultimately for politics, so in the end it is still a matter of weighing gains and losses, the lord chose to let Cao Cao regroup, obviously thinking that this is more beneficial to our army, if you have different opinions, you can directly question the lord."

Xu Huang hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no!" With my head, how can I see this more clearly than the lord, and if I know my guards better than the lord, then I dare to compare1

"Hehe, slippery head! Okay, the rest is almost complete, continue on the road, and strive to reach Xiapi 1 the day after tomorrow

Xu Huang just stood up, and when he heard the first half of the sentence, he was about to promise loudly, who knew that as soon as the second half of the sentence came out, he almost didn't let Xu Huang go down the hill with his head!

The day after tomorrow, here is more than 150 miles away from Xiapi at most, cavalry, big brother! This little road will run for two days, who will believe it!?

Cao Ren in Xiapi City also felt strange, Huang Xu had been outside the city for two days, but he had never attacked the city, but only built a camp on the high ground seven or eight miles away, and then wandered around all day, more and more strangers also followed, in addition to searching for the people hiding in the mountains in the wild, they began to dig ditches and build fortifications outside the city, as if they wanted to completely surround Xiapi.

Looking at the earthen fortresses they built, Cao Ren was worried that they would break the embankment and irrigate the city, but Xiapi City was on this kind of terrain, and if he wanted to avoid being flooded by others, he had to defeat the enemy army outside the city.

Cao Ren was in such a suspicious and uneasy mood for another two days, another cavalry of the Youzhou army arrived, Cao Ren nervously mobilized the defenders in the city, ready to defend against the enemy's attack, who knew that the enemy army was still looking for a high ground to set up camp, and then these cavalry shamefully began to play a cameo role in the work of the people, digging a ditch outside the city, and made up their minds to flood Pi.

Cao Ren was depressed, if Xiapi was attacked like this in the end, he might be the most aggrieved loser, and he would be drowned directly without even fighting! I don't have a face to see people when I say it!

Cao Ren carefully reported the situation of Xiapi to Cao Cao, Cao Cao only replied to act at an opportunity, Cao Ren was inexplicable, what did he act at the opportunity, was it to let himself seek an opportunity to break through?

As soon as this idea came out, Cao Ren couldn't hold it down anymore, instead of sitting here in the city of sorrow and finally being flooded by a pool of water, it was better to take advantage of the strength of the battle to see if he could stand out, and if he could go, it was a breakthrough success anyway, if he couldn't go, it was also a battle to death, uh, fight and hang up! Although he has lost a lot of levels and skills, he will always look better on his face.

Cao Ren, who was restless, made up his mind, and that night, let the soldiers have a full meal, then collected the door panels and wood, discarded all the baggage, only carried light weapons and dry food, and went out of the city gate at night, who knew that as soon as he went out, he was discovered by scouts and strangers outside the city.

Yiren and Youzhou cavalry quickly surrounded him, Cao Ren didn't care about waiting so much at the moment, while commanding the troops to resist, while letting the elite rush towards Surabaya in the south, fortunately Surabaya was very close, Cao Ren desperately broke a barrier, and then the army rushed into the Surabaya River and swam towards the opposite bank.

Cao Ren himself also grabbed the horse and swam towards the opposite bank to the south, and then Cao Ren was surprised to find that not far downstream of him, there was a string of torches beating across Surabaya, Cao Ren almost wanted to die headlong, why didn't he think that the Youzhou army would set up a pontoon bridge on Surabaya!

Then, Cao Ren was tragic, Xiapi City had not been flooded, Cao Ren himself took the initiative to flood the water, and as a result, most of the Cao troops who entered Surabaya were either shot in the water, or surrendered or drowned half to death and were salvaged and became prisoners.

Cao Cao received the battle report, the expression on his face was very strange, as for what he thought in his heart, no one would know, Xi Zhicai knew Cao Cao's order to 'act at the opportunity', as for how to act at the opportunity, in fact, Xi Zhicai also did not know, it is estimated that Cao Cao himself did not know, Pengcheng was breached, Xiapi was lonely, it was impossible to have reinforcements in a short time, and in the long run, Cao Cao could not distinguish the army to go to the rescue, so it became the best order to act at the opportunity.

As for Cao Ren's interpretation of acting on the spot, it can be regarded as a choice, although this choice is a bit stupid.

Xu Huang and Huang Xu are a little inexplicable and can't laugh or cry at this very funny result, the name Cao Ren is really good, ask for benevolence!

Then, Xu Huang and Huang Xubai got a complete Xiapi, and even a large number of armor materials, Cao Ren is really a very generous guy. Unexpectedly, he took Xiapi earlier, and Xu Shu, who was a little helpless, sent a task to let the strangers transfer supplies and prisoners, and at the same time ordered Huang Xu to slowly move westward, stationed in the city to establish a support point, and then prepared to attack Fu Licheng, while Xu Huang was ordered to attack and harass near Xiaqiu, #
