Chapter 643: Attack Xudu
Cao Cao's soldiers approached the city and launched an attack to test the waters, wanting to test Yang Zhao's current strength.
Jia Xu and the others saw through Cao Cao's thoughts at a glance, so they planned and shot some cannons casually to confuse Cao Cao's thoughts, and then repelled Cao Cao's army and continued to garrison in Liyang.
dragged Cao Cao's troops gathered in Liyang and prepared to do big things next.
At night.
Everything calmed down.
Yang Zhao had been busy for so long and was about to go back to rest, but at this time Zhou Yu came and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Gong Jin?" ”
Zhou Yu said embarrassedly: "I was entrusted by someone to see the lord." ”
"Who can please Gong Jin?"
"Shang Xiang."
"That Miss Sun?"
Yang Zhao invited Zhou Yu to sit down and asked curiously, "What is the matter with her letting Gong Jin come?" ”
The eldest lady has something to do, and she doesn't dare to come by herself?
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said: "She also wants to come by herself, but she is a little shy, does the lord still remember, when Bo Fu was still there, he talked about marriage with the lord?" Shang Xiang wants to continue, so let me take a trip and see what the lord thinks. ”
It turns out that it's because of this incident?
Yang Zhao almost forgot, and when he heard the words, he said, "She really thinks so? ”
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Of course it's true, Shang Xiang also admires the lord." ”
Yang Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I, a thief, also have people admire?" ”
"Haha......"
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "The lord is low-key, I don't know what the lord thinks about the marriage?" ”
Marriage is such a thing, Yang Zhao has never refused, there are beauties to give embrace, it must be the more the merrier, especially the famous beauties in the Three Kingdoms period, he dares to accept as many as he comes, nodded and said: "I'll go back and discuss with the lady at home, and let them arrange it with the eldest lady when the time comes." ”
Anyway, they have long been familiar with each other.
It's best for girls to talk about those things themselves.
Zhou Yu got up and said, "Since the lord has agreed, I will go back and tell them not to disturb the lord's rest." ”
With that, he left.
Yang Zhao sent him out of the door and directly put Sun Shangxiang's matter behind.
In ancient times, powerful people paid attention to groups of wives and concubines, and now he is powerful, and it is normal to have more wives, but if there are fewer wives, it will seem abnormal.
——
Outside the city.
Cao Cao looked at the Liyang City Tower and asked, "Did you see anything in the trial battle just now?" ”
"I still can't see what Yang Zhao's reality is at present."
Chen Gong said first: "We are tempting, and I feel that Yang Zhao seems to be tempting as well. ”
Xi Zhong persuaded again: "With Yang Zhao's strength, even if he is defeated and retreats, as long as he is rectified, it will not be difficult to fight back against us, but he is now hiding in Liyang City, and the lord must be careful." ”
Since crossing the river, Xi Zhong has been persuading and constantly reminding him to be careful.
Cao Cao's self-confidence period has passed, and Xi Zhong is also for his own good, and now he can listen to persuasion, listening to Xi Zhong's words, I feel a little reasonable.
Chen Qun said: "But what will Yang Zhao do? ”
They also thought about this question, wondering what Yang Zhao might be planning.
Cao Cao said: "Let's do a good retreat, tomorrow morning, and then attack Liyang, I want to see what Yang Zhao wants to do." ”
He didn't believe that Yang Zhao could be so powerful, digging such a big trap and waiting for them to jump in.
Everyone can only do what Cao Cao said.
Now retreating, no one is reconciled, they have to really fight, and find that they really can't win, so they want to retreat and leave.
——
Cheng Gao.
Li Tong and Zhao Fan, who gathered more than 70,000 people, waited here.
They are here, ready to realize a great plan, that is, to directly steal Cao Cao's home, echoing Yang Zhao's defeat in Guandu, not only can they take Yanzhou, but Yuzhou can also be annexed.
"According to the news that the shadow just sent, the lord has been defeated in Guandu."
Li Tong said.
Zhao Fan echoed: "Cao Cao's troops in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, all gathered outside Liyang City at this time, preparing for a comprehensive counterattack, the lord's plan, used very well, just planning a defeat, can make Cao Cao take away most of the troops, convenient for our action." ”
When it comes to this, they don't know how much to admire.
Yang Zhao simply sacrificed some grain and grass, and let Cao Cao swell directly, thinking that he could fight to the north shore.
"When does Venda think?"
Zhao Fan asked.
When Li Tong was thinking, a shadow man sent the news.
They opened it and saw that it was Yang Zhao's order to let them do it, and Li Tong said after reading it: "Now gather grain and grass, review the whole army, and go to battle tomorrow, and go directly to Xudu." ”
The army is quickly preparing.
Early the next morning.
Li Tong and Zhao Fan led the army south at the same time, they marched from Chenggao to Yingchuan County, crossed the Weishui, and killed Changshe, where there were only thousands of people to defend, and they could easily take Changshe in less than an hour.
After laying down the Changshe, he advanced to the south and finally came to the outside of Xudu.
Because there are not many troops defending Yuzhou now, Li Tong and the others can do whatever they want, and they don't know how smooth it will be to enter, no one can resist it, and they can easily attack the city.
Although Cao Cao withdrew most of the troops from the two states, Xu Du, as Cao Cao's base camp, still had more than 20,000 troops left nearby.
At this time, the soldiers outside the city, seeing that there was a large army marching south, were directly frightened stupid, and immediately asked people to go back to inform the guards in the city, and kept beating the war drums to warn, and soon the entire Xu Du's guards were alarmed.
When he saw the army approaching the city, hanging Yang Zhao's military flag, his face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Quickly start the defense, bring stones, block the city gate, and then let people contact Lu Fengxian, who is newly recruited." ”
They were all afraid of Yang Zhao's artillery, so they prepared a lot of defensive stones in the city.
It was precisely because they were worried that one day, Yang Zhao's army would hit Xu Du, and they could still have the ability to defend, but Yu Ban couldn't imagine that this day had really come.
The soldiers in the city frantically moved around to move stones to block the gates.
Now Cao Ang is not dead, he was arranged by Cao Cao to stay in Xudu, and at this time he also walked to the city tower, glanced outside, and exclaimed: "Yang Zhao's troops, how could they have come outside Xudu?" ”
To the north of Xudu, there is also the Changshe.
Li Tong and the others came here, which means that the Changshe has been lost, but they can't get the news of the loss at all, and the speed of such a march is a bit ridiculously fast.
In addition, according to their news, Yang Zhao should not be in Guandu, he was defeated by Cao Cao, how could he have time to steal his home?
This question, Yu Ban couldn't give Cao Ang an answer.
They could only quickly concentrate their forces and defend in Xudu.
However, there are only 20,000 people, and it is unlikely that they can defend against more than 70,000 people with artillery.
