Chapter 3 The Coalition Attacks Yundu City

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle in the rear, was smiling secretly in his heart at this time, saying that his first tentative attack did not get any bargains, what else can you Sun and Liu allied forces do.

After all, it was only the first time, and it was still a tentative attack, so the Sun-Liu coalition army was actually not much different from the Yanzhou army.

Under the defense of Gao Pei and Deng Xian, even Dong Xi and Zhou Cang are indeed good, but unfortunately there is not much difference from the Yanzhou army, and they still did not take any advantage, and the first siege ended like this.

Hearing the sound of their own coalition forces, Dong Xi and Zhou Cang retreated with their own soldiers. Even if they looked down on Yu Ban before, thinking that they didn't take advantage of it, but now they all know it, not only is Yu Ban not good, even if it is the two of them, they are the same as others.

had no choice but to lead the troops to retreat and returned to their own side, and finally Sun Ce and Liu Bei waved their hands and retreated with their own soldiers. Of course, Cao Cao is the same, if he doesn't retreat with the Yanzhou army, how can the Sun-Liu coalition army retreat, the back road is blocked, isn't it-

Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, after leading the troops back to their own camp, not long after, the three met in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Of course, this big tent of the Chinese army is not Cao Cao's to the big tent of the Chinese army, and naturally it is not Sun Ce's, let alone Liu Bei's. It is such a big tent that was temporarily built between the Yanzhou army camp and the Sun Liu coalition army camp. It's just for the three of them to meet, and there's only one purpose.

And this was naturally thought up by Cao Cao, and in the end, Sun Ce and Liu Bei also agreed. They are clear about Cao Cao's character. Know the character of the person. There are so many doubts, so if you can make him feel at ease, then you can only listen to his arrangement and dispel his doubts. At least these are really nothing for Sun Ce and Liu Bei, but if they can calm Cao Cao's heart, then they are stronger than anything else. Isn't it.

After the three of them met in the big tent, they all exchanged a few words of greeting, but none of them came alone. Basically, they all carry a piece of literature and a martial arts-

In addition to Sun Ce who only came with Zhou Yu, Cao Cao came with Xu Chu and Xun You, and Liu Bei, he came with Wen Chou and Xu Shu. As for why Sun Ce brought Zhou Yu over. It's not because he doesn't think it's useful to lead generals. In fact, according to his thoughts, he wanted to bring Zhang Liao with him, but after thinking about it carefully, he dispelled his idea, because he felt that Zhang Liao seemed to be more resistant to what he asked him to do, so forget it for the time being.

In this way, Sun Ce came alone. Besides. He is indeed a "master of art and bold", at least Sun Ce thinks that his martial arts can be said to be good. So what is there to be afraid of?

After the three of them exchanged a few words, they sat down separately, and then listened to Cao Cao say at this time: "I don't know what the two of you think, how is the attack today?" ”

When Sun Ce and Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, they rolled their eyes in their hearts. The heart said Didn't you Cao Mengde see it, and asked knowingly. Is this to make a fool of yourself, or do you have any other plans? ――

It's good to say that you haven't been able to get any bargains, but you're like this, but isn't your Yanzhou Army different?

But Sun Ce and Liu Bei couldn't say this, so they heard Sun Ce say at this time: "Cao Sikong, today's battle is just a trial attack, but our army has not taken any advantage!" ”

Sun Ce is telling the truth, anyway, for these things that are obvious to all, it is impossible for him to tell lies, because there is no meaning. Everyone has seen it and knows what's going on, and if you're still telling lies, then it's really meaningless, and it's not interesting.

Cao Cao smiled, "What does Xuande mean?" ”

Liu Bei scolded in his heart, but he still said: "It's the same, Bei and General Sun have the same meaning!" ”

Cao Cao sighed when he heard this, "I think Xuande still called Brother Meng De at the beginning, but now although he has formed an alliance, he is even more estranged, why is this so?" ”――

As soon as Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, he said in his heart, in order to confuse you back then, I naturally wanted to have a good relationship with you Cao Mengde. But in the end, it is hostile, although it is true that it is an alliance now, but the grudge between you and me is not small, so forget the name, I and Sun Bofu call you the same, this is fine, or what else.

As for Sun Ce, he knew some things about Yanzhou back then, so he more or less knew Liu Bei's thoughts, but these had nothing to do with him, he just sat on the side and watched the two of them, and other times, he was thinking about the current war.

As for Cao Cao, he just sighed, but he didn't mean anything else. At least he knew in his heart that Liu Bei would never change this title, if the two were not allies now, it was estimated that he Liu Daer would have to call himself Cao Thief, which was not impossible, but very likely. He Liu Bei Liu Xuande is a person, and he is more or less clear, so he ......-

Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce and Liu Bei at this time, and he laughed and said, "Say too much, talk too much, let's talk about the important thing!" ”

Then, Cao Cao said his thoughts, in fact, his idea was very simple, that is, to see if he could dig a tunnel. Then pass through the tunnel and attack Yundu City at night. As for this mention, Sun Ce and Liu Bei still accepted it in their hearts. Although they don't think this will succeed, but if they don't try, it will definitely be hopeless, and if they try, they may or may not be able to succeed.

In the end, Sun Ce said: "Since Cao Sikong thinks that this is feasible, then Ce has no opinion. I want to come to Xuande Gong like this! ”

Liu Beixin said, you Sun Ce still decided for me, can you still say a word? So he laughed too. Then he said to Cao Cao: "General Sun's words are good, and so is the intention of Bei, agree with what Cao Sikong said, it is better to dig a tunnel." That's a no-brainer! ”――

But Cao Cao, although they think very well. But the final result was that within two days of digging, it was discovered by Gao Pei and Deng Xian in Yundu City, and as a result, Cao Cao's plan and Sun Ce and Liu Bei's plan were in vain. The key is that it is true that Gao Pei and Deng Xian are third-rate generals, but even so, it does not mean that they have no experience, so they can still detect such a simple thing. So Cao Cao and the others' plan died.

Of course, this is actually what he expected. After all, if it was really so easy to succeed, then the Liangzhou army would really be more and more finished, and it would not be the strongest opponent on its side.

A day later, this time it was not the Yanzhou army that attacked first, but the Sun-Liu coalition army. After all, this matter is not fixed, but in turns, yesterday it was Cao Cao's Yanzhou army that attacked first, so today it was replaced by Sun and Liu's coalition army, so it is a little fairer, anyway, at least Cao Cao and the three of them come to see, it is indeed the case-

Gao Pei and Deng Xian, who were at the head of Yundu City, saw that Dong Xi and Zhou Cang, who led the troops to attack the city yesterday, came again, and Gao Pei shouted to the two people under the city: "Your subordinates are defeated, and you dare to come here?" Hahaha! ”

After shouting, the Liangzhou army at the head of the city also broke out into a burst of laughter.

Although Dong Xi and Zhou Cang were on fire in their hearts, they still suppressed the anger in their hearts, and at this time they heard Dong Xi shouting: "Yesterday was just a test attack, today I will let you see the power of our army!" ”

Zhou Cang also shouted: "Yes, I'm afraid you won't succeed?" ”

Deng Xian at the head of the city laughed, "Okay, waiting for you!" I'm afraid you're still running away today, hahahaha! ”

Dong Xi and Zhou Cang snorted coldly at the same time, "Hmph! ”

Dong Xi muttered to himself: "Ignorant boy, how can you third-rate generals know the strength of our army? ”

And Zhou Cang didn't know what he was muttering there, anyway, it was definitely not a good thing.

The Sun and Liu coalition forces are attacking Yundu City again, but this time it is different from yesterday's time, after all, yesterday was just a temptation, and they really didn't show all their skills. To put it bluntly, try to attack and try to attack, that is, to see how the other party is doing, as long as the goal is achieved, then you can retreat directly.

So yesterday's battle, whether it was Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, or Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun-Liu coalition army, but it was like this, so yesterday cannot be compared with today. They understand this Dong attack, and they also understand Gao Pei and Deng Xian.

Deng Xian shouted at the head of the city: "Brothers, it's up to you today, defend the city, don't disgrace our army!" ”

"Kill!"

Even in the face of the Yanzhou army and the nearly 200,000 men and horses of the Sun-Liu coalition army, the Liangzhou soldiers at the head of the city still did not retreat. If you say they aren't scared, that's false, but that's true, but they don't have the faint of heart. So I have to say that the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army are indeed well-trained and loyal.

Gao Pei and Deng Xian were indeed more relieved at this time. In their opinion. If his own soldiers have so many 350,000 soldiers to defend the city, then why not be afraid of his Yanzhou army and Sun Liu coalition army. At least they think that's the case. It should be able to defend Yundu City. But now there are only a few thousand people, but I really can't hold it, so I still listened to my lord's words, when the wind is really not right, just run away, this is the best policy.

Indeed, the two of them are already thinking about the question of retreat. They can't be blamed for this, after all, the enemy army is fierce, and they don't think that their thousands of men and horses can resist it. And don't say it's the two of you. It is estimated that even if it is your own lord in the city, it will not work.

Dong Xi and Zhou Cangxin said, you Gao Pei and Deng Xian are just taking advantage of their tongues, and they are really fighting hard. You may not be able to hold Yundu City.

So the two were not to be outdone. shouted directly to his own soldiers, encouraging his own soldiers to attack Yundu City with all their might.

And the soldiers of Sun Liu Lian in Yunti, when they heard the shouts of their main generals, they did improve their morale, but the Liangzhou army at the head of the city was not vegetarian, so the war between the two sides was in a stalemate.

Sun Ce, who was watching the battle from behind, looked at it, and he said to Liu Bei at this time: "Xuande Gong, although the combat strength of our army today is stronger than yesterday. However, this Liangzhou army is not easy to match! ”

Even if Sun Ce is very confident in capturing Yundu, he is indeed very confident. But now that he looked at his own appearance and the combat strength of the enemy, he also had a trace of worry in his heart, at least today, there was no way to take Yundu City. This was judged by his years of experience, and Sun Ce really believed in his own judgment.

When Liu Bei heard this, he said: "But this is the case, but as long as our army can continue to improve, then taking Yundu City will be nothing more than a few days!" ”――

Sun Ce nodded when he heard this, in fact, this is indeed the case, Liu Bei is so confident, let alone himself. No matter how you say that you believe in your own Jiangdong soldiers, even if the combat power of your own soldiers is indeed not as good as the Liangzhou army, but there is no way to do this, isn't it?

After the two looked at each other for a while, Liu Bei said to Sun Ce: "General Sun, today's battle should be almost the same, Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army should be their time!" ”

Liu Bei definitely did it on purpose, after all, he only let them contribute to the Sun and Liu alliances, and he was definitely unwilling. So in his thoughts, since he wants to lose, then why doesn't he Cao Mengde lose. Or they should have suffered heavy casualties, so it would be better that way, so he acted at this time to remind Sun Ce, which means that it is good for everyone to let the Yanzhou army go quickly.

Sun Ce understood what Liu Bei meant, he definitely couldn't do it so obviously, after all, no matter how he said it, it had to be almost the same. Otherwise, not long after you attacked, you would immediately collect your troops and let Cao Cao's Yanzhou army go up, so what can Cao Cao's family do, so he also knows that it should be about the same at this time, just right-

So at this time, he smiled at Liu Bei, and then said: "Xuande Gong's words are good, it's time to withdraw the troops!" ”

Then he said to the soldier: "Mingjin! ”

"No!"

"Ding Ding Ding Ding...... Dingdingding......"

Sun and Liu's alliance is Mingjin here, and after Cao Cao at the back heard Mingjin, he smiled at Xun You next to him: "Hehe, it seems that Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande can't wait, and they want our army to go up!" ”

Xun You said: "Lord, Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande are not bad, at least they can be said in general, even if they do have that mind, but they can be regarded as okay!" ”

Cao Cao glared, "Hmph! How can my Yanzhou army be so easy to bully, if he Sun Ce and Liu Bei dare to play tricks, I, Cao Mengde, will definitely let them 'can't eat and walk around'! ”――

At this time, Cao Cao is not the Cao Cao who was inferior to him before because of his own retreat problem, for him, don't look at his own men and horses are still few, but if there is a war, will he really be afraid of their Sun and Liu coalition forces?

At least in Cao Cao's opinion, he is not afraid of too many of them. If you want to say that there must be concerns, after all, Sun Liulian's family is more than 100,000 people, three or four times that of your own, you must not think about this, don't you.

When Xun You heard this, he smiled and didn't say much. In fact, he knew in his heart that whether it was his father-in-law, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, at this time, they would definitely not fight lightly. Originally, if this was the case, Jingzhou would probably run into the hands of Ma Chaoliangzhou's army, which would be worth it.

As for his father-in-law, he was very resentful of the original low-mindedness and lowered his posture to beg Sun Ce and Liu Bei, so at this time, he would definitely not let go of the two of them. And for these, Xun You knows everything in his heart, so he understands everything. (To be continued......)
