Chapter 90: The Siege of Jian'an City
Cheng Pu knelt on the ground and looked up to the sky and cried, and it took a long time to calm down, his face was full of hideousness, and he kept cursing Cao Yun in his mouth. Several lieutenants helped Cheng Pu and Lu Su up, now is the moment of urgency, these two principals must be sober and make orders.
Of course, Lu Su is sober, and the reason why he kneels and cries with Cheng Pu is to comfort Cheng Pu's emotions and feel a little sad, and secondly, to take advantage of this to pull in the relationship with Cheng Pu, so that he can let go of his prejudices, and the two of them will work together to resist the enemy.
The lieutenant helped Cheng Pu to sit back in the main seat, and also brought a chair for Lu Su to place on Cheng Pu's left side.
After Lu Su sat down, he wiped his tears with his clothes, and then said to Cheng Pu: "General, now, we have to let go of the grief in our hearts and make a plan to resist the enemy!"
At this time, Cheng Pu had regained his calm, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes were a little red and swollen, he wouldn't have been able to see that he had just cried.
"According to the intelligence, Cao Yunxiaoer led 17,000 soldiers to attack, and there are 10,000 sergeants in my city who can gather, so he can fight Cao Yunxiaoer head-on. Cheng Pu said sharply.
"General, having said that, don't forget Sun..." Lu Su didn't continue, and the point was over. Lu Su wanted to remind Cheng Pu that Sun Li led tens of thousands of troops to attack Qingyang, but he was directly shot by Cao Yun, which led to the rout of the army.
Lu Su said and glanced at Cheng Pu, observed Cheng Pu's expression, and saw that Cheng Pu's expression had not changed, so he cautiously continued: "General, that Cao Yun ~ Xiao'er led the army to attack, aiming to fight quickly, our army must not compete with it, and also sent troops to hold Dayan Mountain." Cao Yunxiao'er led the army from Jiangxia, and it was bound to enter Dayan Mountain to attack our Jian'an. Our army only needs to hold the Dayan Mountain and prevent it from penetrating. Protracted and wounded its spirit; and then selected elite troops to go south, around the rear to cut off its grain supply, at this time, presumably General Sun Wu has led his troops to arrive, the general is leading the army to attack, attacking it from both sides, this is the best policy. ”
After Lu Su finished speaking, he observed Cheng Pu's expression, and saw that Cheng Pu was not impatient, so he continued: "You can also order the towns to destroy the crops in the fields, so that the Qingzhou army has no food to grab, and our army is holding on to Jian'an City and not going out of the city to fight, so that it is impossible to fight." Then wait for General Sun Wu to come and attack him together, which is the best strategy. Lure the enemy..."
Lu Su wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Cheng Pu: "Cao Yunxiao'er led the army from afar, and he is bound to be tired, I have an army of 10,000 and thousands of iron horses, why should I destroy the crops and cause unnecessary losses?"
"General, this is to cut off the local supply of the Qingzhou Army. ”
"Don't cut it off, let him attack, I'll go out of the city to fight with him, and see how he goes!" Cheng Pu said coldly.
"General 、、、, how can this work?" Lu Su stood up.
"Lord Lu, when it comes to internal policies, adults naturally have a lot of good strategies, but this marching battle is not so simple, and it is better for inexperienced people to give less guidance, so as not to miss my Wuzhou foundation. Cheng Pu said coldly.
Lu Su was angry when he heard this, and wanted to scold Cheng Pu out loud, but he still forcibly endured it, and he still said goodbye very politely. As soon as he got out of the military engine room, Lu Su beckoned a sergeant.
"I ordered you to go and report to General Sun Wu as soon as possible, and say that General Cheng insisted on a decisive battle with Cao Yun's army, and asked him to return to help quickly, otherwise my safety would be in danger!" Lu Su said bitterly.
"Yes!" the sergeant received the order and immediately left.
Shouchun City.
Sun Wu was counting the newly recruited soldiers in the barracks, and was ready to be assigned to the accounts of the lieutenants after the counting, and he was about to lead the army to attack Qingyang and force Cao Yun to return to help.
"Newspaper"
At this moment, a soldier rushed over. "The general has an urgent report. ”
Sun Wu took the information with a calm face, and looked at the information, but his face gradually turned blue. After a pause, Sun Wu threw the information in his hand to the ground, "The whole army is assembled!"
Sun Wu's army gathered at once, and some of the recruits were still a little scared when they looked at this formation!
"General, are you going to Qingyang?" a lieutenant came to Sun Wu and asked.
Sun Wu's face was very pale, and he didn't answer, just looked coldly ahead, and his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
It didn't take long for the whole army to be assembled, and Yu Ge and other Xia Yu elders also came to Sun Wu.
"Elder Yu, are there any blessing runes?" asked Sun Wu to Yu Ge.
"There are still runes, but when we attacked Shouchun City, a few of us had already exhausted all the vitality of our bodies, and now we haven't absorbed much vitality, so it's hard to urge the runes!" Yu Ge said.
Sun Wu snorted coldly when he heard this, and then turned over and got on his horse, "The whole army is set off, and the goal is Jian'an City!"
"Jian'an City?" Yu Ge and the other elders were very surprised, and Captain Sun Wu'an was rarely surprised, and he didn't understand why he wanted to go back to Jian'an. Sun Wu didn't care about this, and whipped his horse.
At this time, Cao Yun led the army to enter the area under the rule of Jian'an City.
"Huh~" Cao Yun stopped his horse, "The whole army rests in place!"
Immediately, Cao Yun turned over and dismounted, he didn't feel any tiredness himself, but his soldiers were already exhausted, and they had been marching rapidly for so long, and they were close to collapse, it was time to stop and rest.
"My lord, now the whole army should rest and recuperate, if you are tired and go to attack the city, I am afraid that you will be defeated. Xu Zhi dismounted and came to Cao Yun's side and said.
Cao Yun nodded when he heard this, "I will give the army plenty of rest, I think Sun Wu has already learned the news of our attack on Jian'an, and the purpose of forcing him to return to help has been achieved, but there is no need to attack Jian'an City in a hurry." ”
"My lord, if we don't attack Jian'an quickly, wait for that Sun Wu to come and form a flanking attack on us with the soldiers in Jian'an City, and then our army will be in a very dangerous situation. Zhou Tian also dismounted and came to Cao Yun's side.
Cao Yun smiled lightly when he heard this, "I have my own clever plan." But he said no more.
Xu Zhi and Zhou Tian glanced at each other, both guessing what Cao Yun had in mind.
Cao Yun sat cross-legged on the ground, breathing and exhaling the vitality of heaven and earth, absorbing and storing the vitality well, at least to be able to stimulate the thunder of the heavens, and it was better to be rich. The essence in the body is also insufficient, and I will have to eat some meat later, and there is some dried beef in the storage bag.
The sky gradually darkened, Cao Yun was still breathing, and Xu Zhi and Zhou Tian arranged for the soldiers to make fires. Although I don't know whether Cao Yun is going to camp or run overnight, it's good to make some preparations.
Suddenly, Cao Yun opened his eyes, let out a long breath, took out some dried beef from the storage bag and ate it, and after eating, he beckoned Xu Zhi Zhou Tian to come over.
"How's the army resting?"
"Back to my lord, the soldier is almost recuperating and can get back on the road. Xu replied.
Cao Yun nodded when he heard this, stood up, gathered the whole army, and prepared to march towards Jian'an.
"Yes!" Xu Zhi and Zhou Tian replied in unison.
