"Ziyuan, but there is a plan to break this ......"

Cao Cao's gaze fixed on Xu You's face and suddenly asked.

Observing that Xu Yu was wrong these days, he knew why!

Since he was a teenager, his friend, with his personal talent, has been a little arrogant.

Over the years, nothing has changed.

The last time, when I met the teenager Lu Qian, I broke the strategy repeatedly, which also made him lose his arrogance and calm down a lot.

But in terms of military strategy, Xu You's insightful actions are beyond doubt.

Summoned by Cao Cao personally, Xu Yu's face that had not been very good in the past two days was soothed, and he reverted to his previous appearance, he got up and came to the map, but it was also according to Fang Cai Cheng Yu's words, and then said: "Ah Pu, what Zhong De said, I think it is very true!" ”

This is also a rare recognition of Cheng Yu's thoughts, which can't help but make people look sideways.

Ignoring the sideways, Xu You said again: "Under the first opportunity, I failed to break Liu Xide's arrangement in Yanzhou, because his people only arranged carefully, it is not my fault, and it is not the disadvantage of the war!" ”

Xu You's explanation made many of the generals in Cao Ying's bow one after another.

After Cao Cao heard this, he did not interrupt.

"As a result, the war situation at this time is not as good as before, but with Liu Xide's determination in Jizhou, his people can divide more troops and come to Yanzhou, which is a precaution and must be strengthened!

With Liu Xide's ambition, we are obvious to all. In addition, it is inevitable to concentrate troops and prevent them from being broken one by one! ”

Xu Yu immediately picked up charcoal on the drawings in front of everyone, and gently circled several locations, including Dingtao, which was now recaptured by Cao Hong.

"Since we can no longer completely recover Yanzhou, according to what we have discussed before, with the worst plan, it is not to lose these important lands. In the meantime, the front line is to do circumstance, and to develop the rear part for future things.

On the other hand, this time during the war in Xuzhou, such as Peiguo, Xiapi and other places have been opened, and when the local chaos occurs, we can also try to swallow it! ”

After Xu You's words, Cao Cao and the others were still thinking deeply, and the attendant suddenly stepped in with a report held high.

"Ming Gong! There is an urgent report from the direction of Dingtao! ”

"Zilian!"

……

On Dingtao City, Cao Hong looked at the Qingzhou soldiers who were attacking, especially when he saw the fluttering "Zhao" banner in the distance, his face was full of solemnity.

This time, Zhao Yun not only took the initiative to lead his troops to fight from the land of Jinxiang, but also greatly increased his troops.

In the siege battle in the past half day, the use of the explosive object that can be thrown has caused heavy casualties to the Cao army in the city!

Not only that, but the city walls of the West City, which was mainly attacked by the Qingzhou soldiers, were destroyed.

If it goes on like this, how can we deal with the panic of people's hearts? How long can you wait?

Until now, Cao Hong has not seen what the explosive thing is, but one thing is certain, since Zhao Yun, an old opponent, can be used in Dingtao, then this thing must be used in other directions, and it is also very useful!

This is definitely a big hidden danger for Cao Jun!

He then tried his best to urgently send a letter to his brother Cao Cao!

"General, the enemy is here again!"

The voice of the pro-general came in his ears, Cao Hong almost did not hesitate, and immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Retreat to the city and cover the battle!" ”

If we don't retreat in time, judging from the casualties of most of the day, the loss of sick people in the city will be more and more.

And this kind of evacuation, in order to preserve, is also helpless, because the enemy army happens to be able to use this to make a stool city. And the Qingzhou soldiers, who also visited the city three times today, were all effectively commanded by Cao Hong in the city, and they would retreat.

However, as time goes by, the advantage of Qingzhou soldiers in attacking the city will become greater and greater!

How did Cao's army defend it?

"Pass the order, let all the departments prepare and not let their vigilance down!"

As another wave of explosions ended, Cao Hong immediately let the evading soldiers rush into the fierce battle, and then shouted orders to the people under the city.

His troops were in Dingtao, and Zhao Yungang had a fierce battle in the southwest of Jinxiang sixty miles ago, and then with most of his men and horses, according to Cao Cao's arrangement, he was transferred to the direction of Dongjun to support. As a direct result, the number of troops in hand, especially the cavalry, was reduced by half.

It is precisely because of this that after Zhao Yun attacked and killed, he had to use the city to defend and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

But seeing the situation change, you need to prepare for the worst when trying to defend.

And through the half-day battle in Dingtao, Cao Hong can be sure that the reinforcements of the Qingzhou soldiers have also arrived! Find another weapon to help!

Qingzhou Mu Liu Qi, abruptly so, this is Yanzhou for the Cao army to occupy, there is a must to win!

In this way, it will also become a big crisis for Cao Jun!

Just when Zhao Yun launched an attack on Dingtao, Liu Qi thought that Guo Jia was in Jinxiang and coordinated the Quartet, and he himself carried six thousand elites and personally came to the southwest.

That is, in the south of Dingtao, Chengwu County is stationed thirty miles west of Chengwu County, which is to prepare the support of the Tao Cao army.

With the perfection and speed of the intelligence system, Cao Hong's northern aid from Dingtao's department, Zhao Yun actually learned about it at the first time. Then, in his arrival, during Guo Jia's planning last night, it can be expected that once Chongzhen Tao encounters a crisis, the Cao army in the area of Kaocheng and Boxian will come back to help.

Liu Qi's target was Cao Jun in Kaocheng, and Sun Guan on the other side, that is, after being dispatched, faced Cao Jun in Bo County.

That is, in this battle of Dingtao, the purpose of the gathering and coordination of the forces of the three places was to further disintegrate the living forces of the Cao army and prepare for the complete recovery of Jiyin.

Obtaining Jiyin will make Cao Cao lose the bridgehead to attack most of Yanzhou. And Liu Qi's next target is where Cao Cao is stationed in the rear, Chen Liujun!

Winning Chen Liu, Cao Cao will directly lose the rear supplies for the attack on Dongjun, and at the same time be able to go south and take Yingchuan directly.

Once Yingchuan is threatened, Cao Cao will inevitably further narrow the defensive circle in order to mobilize all kinds of men and horses to defend the last place of Yuzhou.

War has always been from point to surface, involving a single trigger and moving the whole body.

This time, Guo Jia's plan at least made Cao Cao, who had retreated, have no chance to fight in the next three or four years.

And being able to defeat Cao Cao, a strong enemy, is very important for the recovery of Yanzhou and other places, and will also directly affect the situation in Xuzhou.

When dusk fell, in this place called Mao'er Slope, Liu Qi asked all the soldiers to lie in ambush in the grass and rest and eat. Every soldier carried military rations in his bag.

In the past two years, the military rations of Qingzhou soldiers have undergone many improvements, but they are baked and baked, and they are nutritious. For example, Liu Qi improved soybean products a few years ago, and now dried tofu has become a necessary reserve for military rations. In addition, there is also meat foam to supply the energy needs in long-distance warfare, for this reason, in the agricultural construction of the green and Yandi, the common people, under the guidance of the peasant officials, have formed a new agricultural extension model combining agriculture and livestock, so as to meet the needs of all aspects.

Liu Qi also slowly chewed the salt-stained, slightly dry and hard dried tofu, and on the other side, he discussed with the generals about the next military incident that might break out at any time.
