"Report, my lord, General Zhang has led his troops to take the Mingjin Ferry, beheaded the thief Li Ke, beheaded more than 400, and captured nearly 200 alive. In the Youzhou military camp outside Pushan City, Gongsun Ming was explaining the logistics and transfer matters to Sun Mi, the defender of Bohai County, who came urgently, and Leng Buding heard a rush of footsteps, but saw a bloodstained newspaper horse snatched in from outside the tent, and rushed at Gongsun Ming is a one-knee point

ground, followed by a sentence of retribution.

"Okay, well done, what about the casualties of our army?"

Although he had long known that with Zhang He's ability, he would be able to successfully win Mingjin Gudu, but when he heard the good news, Gongsun Ming's heart couldn't help but roll through a burst of joy.

"If you return to your lordship, our army has lost 465 dead and 283 wounded. โ€

Hearing Gongsun Ming's question, the newspaper who came to pay attention didn't dare to hide it, and gave an answer in a low tone.

"Hmm...... Knowing this, the order was passed on, and the good students took care of the wounded, and all the fallen soldiers handled the bereavement matters in accordance with military regulations. โ€

Hearing that his own side suffered more battle losses than the defeated Cao army, Gongsun Ming's eyes couldn't help but darken, but he didn't comment, he just let out a sullen breath, and then issued several orders in succession.

"The lord doesn't need to worry too much, the Cao army has been fighting all year round, and its soldiers are indeed worthy of the name of good fighting, our army can win two battles in a row, which is enough to make the Cao army frightened, and over time, the combat power of our Youzhou army will be able to leap above the Cao army. Although Gongsun Ming did not say it explicitly, Xu Shu guessed what Gongsun Ming was worried about, it was nothing more than the strength of the Cao army's combat power, Xu Shu obviously did not care, after all, the Youzhou army was not strong in infantry but cavalry, and if the two sides faced each other, the victory of the Youzhou army

In fact, it is far higher than Cao Jun.

"It should be so, that's it, don't talk about this, please ask the military advisor to arrange someone to go to Yecheng as soon as possible, and ask Yuan Benchu to urge Yuan Tan to send troops to Licheng to ensure that the grain route of Xiahoudun's department is cut off. "Combat effectiveness has always been fought rather than trained, if you want to improve, the price of blood is absolutely indispensable, in this regard, Gongsun Ming actually knows a lot in his heart, and he was just sad about the tragedy of sacrifice before, but the truth that Zeci is not in charge of the army, Gongsun Ming is still clear,

He didn't let these emotions dominate his thinking, but after listening to his noncommittal whisper, he immediately changed the subject......

"Report, General Yu, General Zhenwei Cheng Yu has arrived, and he is now outside the mansion gate. "Xiahoudun brothers led their troops to return to Linzi for three days, and suddenly heard that the Youzhou army forcibly took Mingjin Gudu, they were all furious, and they were gathering to discuss the strategy of counterattack, however, when the plan was undecided, they saw a rotating military marquis hurriedly marched into the hall, and bowed to Xiahoudun is tight

He replied.

"Oh, please. "Xiahou Dun has not cooperated with Cheng Yu in the past, and the friendship between them is very deep, at this time I heard that Cheng Yu has arrived, and my mood is suddenly very good, although I am pleased, but he himself can't wait to go to the door of the house, and when he sees this, Xiahou Yuan and others can't stand up

, had to follow behind Xiahoudun step by step.

"I've seen General Xiahou. โ€

Cheng Yu stood outside the gate of the City Guard Mansion with a tired face, and when he saw Xiahoudun leading the generals out, he didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he took a few steps forward and saluted very respectfully.

"As soon as Zhongde arrives, a certain worry-free, hurry, please talk inside, haha......"

When Xiahoudun cooperated with Cheng Yu in the past, he didn't know much about Tutorial Yu's clever calculations, and he was always very convinced of his ability, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"General Xiahou, Zhugong, before Cheng came, Ming Gong had a secret order here, and all departments of our army must stick to it, and must not fight a decisive battle with Gongsun Xiaoer, but it is a great achievement to defend Linzi. โ€

After Cheng Yu accompanied Xiahoudun to talk a few words, he immediately entered the hall together, and sat down in the position of the military advisor, and did not have any greetings, and then showed Cao Cao's secret order, and Lang Sheng set a tone for this Linzi battle.

"Why did Zhong De say this? According to investigation, Gongsun Xiaoer's department is only more than 60,000 people, although our army has suffered a slight setback, there are still more than 50,000 people, and more than 20,000 people from Qin Qi's department come to converge, the strength is really more than the thief army, An Yan can only defend it?" As soon as Cheng Yu's words came out, Xiahou Yuan couldn't hold his head down, no, the reason why he proposed to withdraw from the Yellow River after his defeat last time was that the Youzhou army was strong and strong, lest it be difficult to retreat in a battle, and now it has been ascertained that the strength of the entire Youzhou army is only more than 60,000, and

Without the cooperation of Yuan Jun, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but have the idea of revenge, and when he heard Cheng Yu open his mouth, he said that he wanted to defend to the death, and he refused to follow the order. "Miaocai (Xiahou Yuan's words) don't be in a hurry, and listen to Cheng's words, let's say so, although the enemy and our forces are equal, but the thief army rides more, and the field battle is good, our army is facing it head-on, even if it can win, the loss will be large, and it must be prevented from the sudden arrival of the Yuan army, and the battle with it will be greatly damaged

As soon as the harsh winter arrives, it will be difficult for the enemy's logistics to transfer their baggage, and they will retreat without a fight.

As early as before rushing to Linzi, Cheng Yu had expected that the Xiahoudun brothers would have a resistance to the policy of stubborn defense, and they would not fail to prepare.

"Hmm...... I wonder how Zhongde plans to defend it?"

Xiahoudun also wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Youzhou army, but because of Cao Cao's secret order, it was not easy to oppose it clearly, but this was not unreasonable after hearing what Cheng Yu said, so he changed his mind, but he himself was good at attacking and not defending, and he was really a little unsure of the strategy of defending the palace. "This matter is not difficult, our army can be divided into three parts, one of which is not out of the city, and the other is to occupy Niushan and defend the village, and then there is Qin Qi's department in the drama county, echoing with the main force of our army, each other is horns, so, it is really difficult for the thief army to gather strength to attack our army all the way, and our army can move with the camera, Gongsun

If the child doesn't come, he will not be able to return!" "Cheng Yu is known as a good defender in Cao's army, and over the years, he has repeatedly defeated strong enemies in defensive battles, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei have suffered a lot of losses under him......
