Chapter 82: Besieging Shouchun!
As soon as Cao Cao moved, the army of 100,000 was as fierce as a tiger, rampage all the way, and the armies of Yuan Shu who killed him were defeated and retreated. How can this guy be Cao Cao's opponent, the fierce generals under his hands are like clouds, and the strategists are like rain, so naturally he can only be bullied.
Moreover, this Yuan Shu was also attacked by a terrifying figure, that was Lu Bu who was entrenched in Xuzhou. Under the planning of Chen Gong, he quickly marched and killed under Shouchun City, but because of this, he dragged Yuan Shu's main force and gave Cao Cao the opportunity to seize the territory.
"Lord, the spies are here!"
At this moment, in a dense forest, Ye Qing was leading the army to rest, and Zhou Cang handed over a piece of letterhead. Ye Qing took it over and took a closer look, then nodded knowingly, and said: "Then Lu Bu moved so fast, he actually killed Shouchun City, it seems that the combination of Chen Gong and Lu Bu is really a bit strong." ”
He sighed a little, Lu Bu and Chen Gong are really a super combination, one literary and one martial. No, Yuan Shu couldn't resist Lu Bu's attack at all, and was cowering in Shouchun City to resist.
Lu Bu is not only brutal in force, but also because his own iron horse is not damaged, although Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are missing, but they are also very terrifying. Moreover, several of his top athletes are not vegetarians, although they are not as powerful as Zhang Liao, but they are also rare athletes.
Yuan Shu was unlucky, as soon as he became emperor, he attracted such a powerful offensive, if it weren't for the whip of other princes, he might have been besieged and killed by the major princes. And what made him most angry was that at this time, Sun Ce actually raised an army against him, directly occupied Qu'a, and then cleared the army, and fought with Zhou Yu and others into Huiji, Guangling and other counties, and soon expanded his territory.
Ye Qing also received the news, and was sighing that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were definitely a pair of good friends. As soon as these two people came out, they immediately expanded their entire territory, and then Zhou Yu quickly expanded the army and only collected the elite.
These two can be said to be the means of the sky, even Cao Cao has to admire, thinking about whether he can accept these two guys? It's a pity that his plan is destined to be impossible to succeed, Sun Ce has already given birth to an ambition at this moment, burning like wildfire, how can he surrender?
Ye Qing also took this into account, so he didn't make the so-called holy decree, which was just a piece of waste paper for these people. As soon as Sun Ce is independent, Yuan Shu is tragic, no matter how angry he is, it is useless, the only thing he can do is to repel Lu Bu, otherwise this guy will not have a good result when he enters the city.
It is also strange to say, what Wang Lang said was also the overlord of Huiji, but he was beaten by Sun Ce, and he retreated in defeat, which made Ye Qing, who received the news, shake his head again and again.
"Lord, I'm close to Shouchun now, do you want to attack it?" Zhou Cang asked in a humming voice.
In the woods, a group of cavalry rested quietly, while Ye Qing rolled his eyes, feeling that this Zhou Cang was really too much. Take the cavalry to attack the city, and it is still 3,000 cavalry, although it is strong, it is absolutely impossible to capture Shouchun.
Unless, he, Ye Qing, can use a powerful spell to smash the city gate, don't even think about it. It's a pity, Ye Qing knows that this is unrealistic, and when he smashes the city gate, it is estimated that his mana will be consumed, how much strength will he have at that time?
Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Wait first, let's wait for that Cao Cao to arrive, he should be after seizing some territory, he will make a detour back to surround Shouchun, it is impossible to watch Lu Bu attack that city." ”
Hey!
Zhou Cang smirked, scratching his iron head, a little honest. And next to him, Hu Zhen didn't speak at all, just rested quietly beside him, he knew that Ye Qing would not agree to what he and others said.
"Report to the Lord!"
Suddenly, a cavalryman arrived quickly, turned over and dismounted, and reported: "Lord, it has been investigated clearly, outside Shouchun City, Sanmen has been besieged by Lu Bu's army, but there is no siege. ”
Ye Qing waved his hand to let the soldiers go down to rest, and then pondered alone, feeling that this should be Chen Gong's strategy, otherwise Lu Bu would not be so calm.
Sure enough, outside Shouchun City, in Lu Bu's camp, he was glaring at a strategist with anger on his face. And this person is his military advisor Chen Gong, why should he be angry, it turns out that Chen Gong does not let him attack the city now.
"Chen Gong, why don't you let Ben General attack the city?" Lu Bu was imposing, as if it would be difficult to extinguish the flame in his heart if he didn't say a single opinion.
And Chen Gong's face was indifferent, and he said: "Lord, let's not talk about Xia Shouchun, even if it is taken down, it must be a heavy loss, and then it will be cheaper for Cao Cao, a hero!" ”
"Ridiculous!"
At this moment, a strong general suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Chen Gong, you are the key to the lord, as long as we win this Shouchun, then Cao Cao still has the ability to fight against us?" ”
"Yes, General Wei is right, what are your intentions in Chen Gong?" Another athlete stood up and shouted.
The generals were not very friendly to Chen Gong, because this guy was one level higher than them, which led to the idea of jealousy. You are a scribe, you have no skills, your status is even higher than them, and you have to command them, you can't help but be angry.
"Shut up!"
As soon as Lu Bu drank, everyone shut up, but they were still very unconvinced. It's a pity that although the latter is a little annoyed, he won't really do anything to Chen Gong, because at this moment he knows the importance of strategists.
At the beginning, he was driven out of Luoyang, but he was angry with Ye Qing to death, but now he is in no mood to pay attention to that guy. He knew that he couldn't use his brains, and now, he finally had a powerful strategist to follow, so he naturally had to give him a military advisor.
No, because of Chen Gong's calculations all the way, he easily won Xuzhou, and most of the credit is his. No matter how stupid Lu Bu is, he will not joke about his great cause, with Chen Gong here, he can have more energy.
"The words of the military advisor are the words of the general, if any of you dare to be disrespectful, the general will never spare him!" Lu Bu dropped a sentence coldly, turned around and left directly.
The rest of the generals all had ugly faces, but no one did anything to Chen Gong anymore. They knew that what Lu Bu had said was absolutely counting, and if anyone really dared to be disrespectful to Chen Gong again, then what awaited him would be a threat of death.
Lu Bu didn't move, but Yuan Shu was angry, didn't he come to attack the city, did he want to trap him? Yuan Shu was angry now, looking at the army outside the city, he couldn't see the edge, but he didn't dare to go down to provoke.
"This damn Lu Bu, why don't you attack the city?"
On the city wall, Yuan Shu was dressed in a dragon robe, but his face was extremely gloomy. He stared at the army outside the city, secretly hating why Lu Bu didn't attack the city, otherwise he would kill his prestige.
He was very smart, he didn't go out of the city to fight with Lu Bu, he really knew that Lu Bu's terrifying Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, if he went out, he would definitely be eaten clean. Moreover, among the generals under him, there is really no one who can beat Lu Bu, so naturally he doesn't dare to go down and fight Lu Bu alone.
"Your Majesty, the last general will ask for battle, and lead 10,000 iron horsemen to kill Lu Bu and dismount!"
Suddenly, a general's face was proud, and his words made everyone present stunned. Even Yuan Shu's eyes widened, and he was almost not angry with this guy, as if Lu Bu was not his enemy.
Yuan Shu knew best, but in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, the heroes of the world who had killed Lu Bu alone bowed their heads and were silent for a while. No one dared to come forward to challenge, and in the end, it was the three Liu Bei brothers who joined forces, which repelled this Lu Bu, and it can be seen how terrifying the fierceness is.
However, now that this guy is going down to fight Lu Bu, isn't this looking for death? Yuan Shu looked at his arrogant appearance, and his angry nose was crooked, if you go out of the city and die, it's okay, but you still have to lead 10,000 cavalry?
10,000 cavalry, originally he had very few cavalry, if he was taken out to kill once, he would definitely not be able to come back. Yuan Shu's anger swelled up, and he shouted: "If you want to fight yourself, go alone, go, I will wait for your victory." ”
Next to him, the generals blushed for a while, and they all retreated cautiously, keeping a distance. They looked at the general with pitiful eyes, as if they were looking at a dead man, which made the general's heart chill.
His expression trembled, and he retreated directly without saying a word, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. Looking at the generals around him, as well as those big generals, looking at him with pitiful faces, he knew that something was wrong.
Not to mention Yuan Shu, just Cao Cao, at the moment, he is in high spirits, attacking cities and plundering land, and the places that the army has passed are simply invincible.
"Lord, there will be chaos if there are many people!"
At this moment, in Cao Cao's team, a strategist directly suggested. What he meant was that he couldn't take too much territory, otherwise it would look bloated, indigestible, and useless.
"Yes, lord, the most important thing now is that it is enough to destroy Yuan Shu first, and then drive Lu Bu away." Xi Zhicai directly agrees with this point of view.
And Cao Cao pondered a little and felt that it made sense, after all, his army was limited and it was impossible to protect so many places. Although he felt a pity in his heart, he naturally did not hesitate to take it back in the future.
"Gather the soldiers from all over the country, clear the remnants, and the rest of the people will follow their fathers to destroy the Yuan Shu thieves."
Cao Cao waved his hand, gave an order in high spirits, and then led an elite army of 100,000 to outflank Shouchun City. All the way they passed, the counties along the way all looked at the wind and fell, and even if there was resistance, they were not quickly extinguished.
At this time, as soon as Cao Cao's army arrived, it immediately attracted the attention of the three parties. The first person to notice was Lu Bu, who bore the brunt of it, and when he saw Cao Cao's 100,000 army coming, he was immediately a little glad that he was not reckless in attacking the city.
He felt that it was impossible for him to take down the hundreds of thousands of troops in Shouchun City in a short period of time. If Cao Cao suddenly kills halfway through the kill, and the losses are heavy, then his consequences will be unpredictable.
Yuan Shu also knew that Cao Cao was coming, and the whole person suddenly felt an ominous premonition, but unfortunately, Shouchun was completely surrounded.
"Is Cao Cao here?"
Ye Qing also noticed that Cao Cao's 100,000 army had arrived, and it was impossible not to know the great movement. And at this moment, he was leading three thousand iron horsemen to hide on a small hill, looking at everything outside Shouchun City.
