The situation is tense, peace will not last for a few days, Cao Cao in Guandu City always looks at Zhongmu from afar, his eyes are faint, but he reveals a trace of murderous aura.

There is irreconcilable between him and Zhang Fan, his son Cao Ang, and his brothers Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong all died directly or indirectly in the hands of Zhang Fan, including his most important Guo Jia.

"Take my homeland, kill my relatives and friends, this hatred is not shared!"

Cao Cao hated Zhang Fan, but he also had a trace of agreement in his heart, in the final analysis, he and Zhang Fan were the same kind of people, but one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and fighting was inevitable.

Zhuge Liang stood aside, although he did not have any official position, but his prestige in the coalition army was extremely high, after Ma Chao's death, he faintly became the leader of the coalition army, and he couldn't tell whether it was a blessing or a curse.

With a sneer on his face, he was in control.

"The wind and clouds are rushing forward, and the army is all in Zhongmu, but there is still a long distance between Zhongmu and Jiguan, all of which are under our control, which is equivalent to cutting off the grain route of the Jizhou army, we don't even have to take the initiative to attack, and it won't be long before the storm and chaos will be disheartened because of the lack of food!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Zhou Yu is the same way, now it is impossible for us to send a large army to search the surroundings, which will give the wind and clouds an opportunity to take advantage of, as long as we hold the banks of the Yellow River, do not let the Jizhou army come to deliver food, and at the same time block Zhou Yu's footsteps to flee to Jizhou, Zhou Yu can not hold on!" ”

Cao Cao thought it was true, the so-called three armies did not move the grain and grass first, now the Jizhou army grain road is not passable, Zhou Yu is trapped in the mountains, even if they have brought a lot of grain and grass before, there will always be a time when it will be consumed, now Cao Cao does not need to go shopping, just need to wait for a while, Zhang Fan and Zhou Yu will collapse without a fight!

"But Storm Chaos is not the kind of person who will be careless!" Xiahoudun was a little puzzled, he had fought against Zhang Fan many times, and he knew Zhang Fan's horror, if Zhang Fan would make such a low-level mistake, he would not believe it first.

Cao Ren groaned slightly, and said: "Presumably he is careless because of the successive victories, or he is too confident, his current idea should be to stay in Zhongmu first, to prevent us from sending a large army to annihilate Zhou Yu, and at the same time let the Jizhou army dispatch from Jiguan to quickly seize the city and create a grain road, but he is inevitably underestimating us!" ”

What Cao Ren said is indeed reasonable, although most of the soldiers and horses in the direction of Sili are in Guandu and Chenliu, there are still some defenders in various places, even if they can't hold the city, they can sneak attack the grain road, so it will not be so easy for Zhang Fan to transport grain.

"He might have other plans!" Cao Cao frowned, and suddenly looked a little anxious: "Is there any news from the direction of Yangzhou?" ”

"For the time being...... No! Xiahou replied.

Cao Cao's eyes flickered, his figure stood upright in the wind, and after a long while, he sighed and was silent.

"But is there danger in Yangzhou? Yuan Yin still has some soldiers under him, and Mr. Xi Zhicai and Xu Huang are there again, so they can be safe! Xiahou said.

"If it's safe, I'm afraid Yuan Yin's army has already arrived!"

……

Yangzhou is indeed breaking out a big war, the news of Zhou Yu's calculation has already been transmitted back to Xu Shu, which makes him shocked, Zhou Yu's defeat means that Si Li's war situation is unstable, and the variables are increasing, Zhang Fan is likely to be difficult to resist the alliance of Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao, he must make a move, and he can no longer wait for instructions in Qingzhou.

Fortunately, there is news that Cao Cao has led a large army to Sili, although Cao Cao and Yuan Yin have reached an alliance, but with Yuan Yin's timid and fearful character, he will not send troops until the matter is really clear, this is an opportunity to take advantage of!

Immediately, Xu Shu led the army to Yangzhou, and Yuan Yin could be sent to Yangzhou no matter what, otherwise Si Li's situation would be even more difficult.

Most of Xu Shu's subordinates are recruits, but under his training, they have begun to take shape, and they know how to operate some formations, so they can fight, so Xu Shu did his best, with Zhang Jaw, Zhou Cang, and Bao Xin as generals, and he was the military advisor, and he pressed the situation in a big way!

The arrival of the Jizhou army made Yuan Yin panic, he was even afraid of the Jiangdong army, not to mention the more powerful Jizhou army, but fortunately, there was a drama to give him advice on the side, and he fought a few beautiful ambushes and counter-ambushes, which frustrated the momentum of the Jizhou army.

Xu Shu was defeated twice, and immediately knew that Yuan Yin had a capable person, this person naturally could not be Yuan Yin's subordinate, and he thought that it should be Cao Cao's strategist, which made him settle down, fight steadily, and advance step by step, so that Xi Zhicai had no choice, although Yuan Yin released many soldiers and horses, but most of them were weak, undertrained, and there were no fierce generals who could handle it, so he could only defend to the death, find the opportunity to launch some surprise attacks, etc.

Once Xu Shu has a defense, how can it be so easy for people to succeed, Xi Zhicai's surprise attack encountered several ambushes, and soon died down, and Yangzhou directly took a defensive position, which can be delayed for a while.

"It's a pity that General Xu Huang hasn't recovered yet, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive!"

Xi Zhicai is helpless, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, the current Yangzhou army is not short of soldiers, what is lacking is a fierce general who can provoke the beam, Xu Huang is the best choice, the strength of Tianwu Realm will overwhelm the Jizhou army here, but when he attacked Jinan, Xu Huang was seriously injured by Gao Lan's sneak attack, and he has not recovered until now, although he can live normally, but it will take a lot of time to fight, and the Yangzhou army has fallen into passivity for a while, and can only be beaten and cannot fight back.

Xu Shu also played a momentum, no longer so conservative, but directly sent troops to cut off the road leading to the outside of Yangzhou, not letting the news come out, and surrounded the center from all sides, wanting to destroy Yuan Yin!

The strength of the Jizhou army is still slightly insufficient, and this big battle is destined to take a long time, but Xu Shu knows that he has done the best and most critical thing, and now he has no other choice but to limit Yuan Yin's help, constantly consume his combat power, so that he can not support Si Li's battle, and solve such a big trouble, I believe Zhang Fan can also be much easier.

Zhang Fan is indeed very relaxed, he is happy that Cao Cao can't defend it, and he also knows what Cao Cao is planning, but he is not worried at all, the grain and grass saved during the Yellow Turban Rebellion have become the biggest weight, which no one can predict, even Zhuge Liang cannot calculate clearly, this is a key point, which can make him make all kinds of illusions and confuse the coalition army, so as to achieve his own goals.

On the one hand, he let the defenders in the Kei Pass expand outward, looking like they were going to open the grain road, in fact, they were training, and now most of the defenders in the Kei Pass are mainly players, they have died bravely several times, and they need to fight to recover, and the army of the division is mostly in Guandu, and there are only a small number of soldiers and horses in the rest of the city, which is just used for training.

On the other hand, he sent people out of the city quietly, took out the grain and grass buried in the shadows, and used it for the army, and at the same time stepped up to recover from his injuries and prepare for a big battle.

Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang wanted to wait for Zhang Fan to run out of food, and the army's morale was weakened, but they didn't know that Zhang Fan was also waiting, he was waiting for the players in Jiguan to recover their combat strength, waiting for himself and Zhou Yu's strength to recover!

In other words, the time when Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang thought they were the weakest was precisely the time when they were the strongest!

Everything is because of a single idea, and the grain and grass are buried!

Unintentionally planted willows and willows!
