Chapter 1487: The Battle of Xuzhou (84)
Zhang Fei waited for punishment, although Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were relieved to him, but in hindsight, it was because of his own rush that the casualties were so heavy, even if the lord did not pursue this matter, but he would still be unhappy in his heart, it was tens of thousands of casualties, although the war would inevitably kill people, but such a heavy cost of casualties did not have any strategic significance, and he could not explain it.
Zhang Fei hesitated, and after a long time, he finally spoke, hoping that Guan Yu would not report the battle report for the time being, so that they would defeat Cao Cao, and then report it to 1510, and when the time came, no matter whether the lord killed or chopped, he was also willing.
Guan Yu put down the dishes and chopsticks, helplessly, and said: "Yide, you said it was late, and the battle report was sent back to Xuzhou early in the morning." "In fact, the battle report has not been passed on, but it can't be hidden from the lord Liu Lan, this kind of thing can be changed to anyone, but he can't, the position is different, if you hide it in this kind of thing, the lord guild doesn't think much about it?
But it was not good for him to refuse Zhang Fei directly, so he could only answer so tactfully, in this way, neither end could be offended, Zhang Fei's eyes were red, and he sighed: "Yun Chang, then let's go to Feng County quickly." ”
Zhang Fei now urgently needs to make meritorious contributions, he is now eager to immediately march to Feng County, but Guan Yu had to tell him a piece of news that made his heart fall to the bottom, and now everything has to wait for the latest order from the lord.
Zhang Fei stood up, not understanding, and Guan Yu told him about his meeting with the lord in Lanling County, Pei County, only limited to the battle with Cao Cao, if Cao Cao withdrew his troops, then there was no need to continue the pursuit.
For such an order as the lord, not only Zhang Fei, but also Zhao Yun, all looked at each other, not knowing what the hell the lord was doing.
They don't understand, in fact, Guan Yu doesn't understand either.
At this time, the scouts of the Cao army accurately conveyed the grand occasion after the convergence of the three major forces in Xuzhou to Cao Cao, in this regard, Cao Cao naturally understood that such a large-scale armed force was by no means something that their coalition forces could easily deal with, but this was their bottom line after all, and they could no longer retreat, so as long as the Xuzhou army came, then they could only fight to the death.
Maybe Liu Lan really didn't plan to start a complete war with them, the Xuzhou army did not take the initiative to enter the territory of Fengxian, which undoubtedly gave Cao Cao time to breathe, what will be the final result, maybe it will be good, but maybe it will be the worst, after all, the quieter the Xuzhou army is now, maybe the offensive will be more and more fierce after that.
But at this moment, whether it is Cao Cao or Zhang Xun, they have a clear understanding of the next battle situation, and they will go all out to fight the Xuzhou army endlessly.
It can be said that the two have not had this feeling of pride in their chests for a long time, full of confidence, fighting to the death, they not only can't lose, but they must also win!
Under this premise, Cao Cao changed the scout from only within the scope of Feng County to the entire Pei County, shuttling between Feng County and Pei County, he now not only wants to guard the acre and three points of Feng County, but more importantly, to grasp the dynamics of the Xuzhou army.
Guan Yu didn't pay too much attention to Cao Jun's scouts, he just sent Chen Feng to solve it, but it was only within the scope of Pei County, as long as they crossed the line, then they must be killed, if they fled back to Feng County this year, they could be allowed to leave, and there was no need to chase.
The two armies have become a skirmish between scouts, for Guan Yu's orders, Zhang Fei is naturally obedient, but Zhao Yun is a little helpless in his heart, he knows his grudge with Lu Bu, and such a grudge naturally turns to Cao Jun, although he also understands that it is best not to mix personal emotions on the battlefield, but he is really uncomfortable in his heart, he is not like Zhang Fei, he is straight, what he does and says is straightforward, without scruples, but Zhao Yun is different, he can't be so open-mouthed, what to say, what to say, can only point to the end, Guan Yu understands it or not, it is not clear, and judging from the results, it is obvious that he does not understand.
Zhao Yun was sullen all day long, Guan Yu understood what he was doing, but it was not easy to speak, now he was waiting for the lord's order, before the order arrived, he couldn't promise anyone anything, as if he didn't know where the next step would be, this is not an exaggeration, on the eve of the battle of Langya, Guan Yu swore that he was ready to come to Peixian, but in the end, he didn't go to Langya?
Now it seems that he is going to fight Cao Cao to the death, but maybe after the order arrives, he will be transferred to another place, and he may even collect his troops and return to Moling directly after the war, no one can say for sure, after all, this is war, and the unpredictability is too great.
Liu Lan and Xu Shu can be said to be the top decision-makers in the Battle of Xuzhou, and it is the two of them who single-handedly planned the third Battle of Xuzhou to the current stage of the big victory.
And for the second stage of the Battle of Xuzhou, in fact, the two were also not prepared, although the Battle of Langya was expected, but it ended too quickly, and the final result could even be said to be completely beyond expectations, and for the Battle of Peixian, because of Cao Cao's sudden retreat, Liu Lan had some concerns about the next troops' actions.
Should we directly press the border with heavy troops, or should we slow down.
In fact, if the heavy army is pressed now, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the alliance of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, but it will also make the three princes who were originally not strong in alliance form an alliance again and become a monolith, and this is the situation that Liu Lan is most unhappy to see.
Heavy troops pressed the border, it did him no good, and what he was most worried about was that once they failed to achieve a big victory in the confrontation with Cao Jun, but fell into the quagmire of fighting with them, then he was sure that Yuan Shao, who had lost Yan Liang, would definitely do whatever it took to invade the territory this time, and when the time came, his main force was dealing with Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao's main force, what should I do?
Therefore, he can only choose to stand still and observe the development of the situation, although this may seem passive, but it is undoubtedly his best choice now.
Wait and see, of course, for Cao Cao of Fengxian County, it is impossible to let him go free all the time, and the appropriate pressure still has to be given, but how to find a breakthrough, Liu Lan's eyes immediately became gloomy, his old friend and old opponent are still so difficult, even if he racks his brains, he may still fall short in the end.
This is the most headache for him, but it is also the coolest thing, chess opponents will meet good talents, if not, it will be too boring.
In fact, the current Cao Cao must also be in this mood, but he is more complicated than Liu Lan, after all, all Liu Lan's actions can't hide from him, and some of his small actions are also under his control.
And this kind of contest is actually just the beginning, Liu Lan believes that there will be more in the future, but he understands better that the sooner such an opponent is resolved, the better, which is surprisingly consistent with Cao Cao's idea, so Cao Cao is eager to solve Liu Lan by Yuan Shao's hand, and Liu Lan Because of Yuan Shao's existence, Liu Lan can only use a divisive plan to let the two kill each other, otherwise he will not have any chance.
But Cao Cao, the foil in the eyes of many people, is so easy to be fooled.
Liu Lan was planning Cao Cao in Xuzhou, and Guan Yu was actually planning to deal with Cao Cao, although Liu Lan did not give him clear instructions, but he did not let him retreat, it can be judged from this point that the lord still wants to make some fuss in Feng County, but how to find a breakthrough is now something he can't think of for a while.
