Chapter 1000: Offensive on the Eastern Front
Zhang Liao did not ask Zhao Yun what to do, but gave him a direction and let him attack freely.
After Zhao Yun researched it, he decided to attack from a distance.
The enemies around him all hid and didn't give him a chance, so Zhao Yun chose to attack the distant place.
Zhao Yun carefully studied the route.
"Attacking hundreds of miles away, the enemy must not have imagined, as long as they succeed, their rear will definitely be chaotic for a while." Zhao Yun thought.
After researching, Zhao Yun ordered to rest during the day and set off at night.
Zhao Yun made a move, wandering around for two days so that Cao Jun did not know his whereabouts, and then moved towards the goal.
Zhao Yun's departure did not affect the battle situation, and Zhang Liao was still attacking there.
After another five days of attack, there was not much progress in five days, although several walls of the Cao army were breached, but the walls were repaired under the condition that the Cao army paid a certain sacrifice.
Even, several times Cao Jun wanted to continue to let migrant workers repair the city wall at night and increase the height of the city wall, but after being discovered by Zhang Liao, he attacked twice, and Cao Jun did not continue.
Over the course of five days, more than 10,000 people were killed and wounded on both sides, which was not very intense.
At the same time, Zhang Liao also continued to let people make all kinds of siege equipment and put on a posture.
Zhang Liao was waiting, waiting for Zhang Yu to attack.
The two armies were fighting there, and the intensity was not very high, but it was not low either.
And on Zhang Yu's side, he is ready.
"I'll leave it to you here, this king will go south tonight, ready to attack Cao Cao's eastern front." Zhang Yu met again and said to the cabinet members.
Zhang Yu has already been arranged in the south and is about to act.
Although the cabinet is missing Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai went to Changshan County to assist Zhang Liao, but the cabinet can still operate very well.
Zhang Yu finished the meeting and set off overnight.
He went south with an army of 50,000.
Early the next morning, in Picheng, the Xuzhou Governance Office, an army of 100,000 advanced in the direction of Xuchang, carrying a large number of siege equipment, and the momentum was fierce.
Cao Cao soon received the information.
Cao Cao convened an emergency meeting.
"This Zhang Yu is going to fight on two fronts, attacking the east and west sides at the same time." Cao Cao said with a headache.
There were a group of staff below, and then Cao Ang was also there.
"Lord, I don't know if Zhang Yu wants to feint to attack Xuchang, or if he really wants to attack Xuchang, or if there are other places that will be attacked, his subordinates think that they will not move for the time being." Cheng Yu spoke first.
The rest of the strategists also agreed, and this Zhang Yu preferred to use tricks to launch attacks in unexpected places.
So they are also distressed.
After some research, everyone took out the map and studied it to see whether the military deployment was reasonable.
After researching, there is no big problem, it's just that Cao Cao doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and if a place is suddenly attacked, then it will take a long time for their soldiers and horses to react.
Two days later, Zhang Yu arrived in Qingzhou, where 300,000 soldiers and horses had been secretly assembled, which was actually not a secret, because Cao Cao already knew that there were two troops and horses training here.
Yes, part of Zhang Yu's use is a recruit.
But after several months of training, and most of the soldiers are still veterans, their combat effectiveness is not bad.
In fact, although they are two places, the two armies are very close to each other and can cooperate with each other.
One soldier and horse is in Dongguan County, one is in the East China Sea Kingdom, and Langya County is separated by the two counties.
At the same time, the two counties are next to Yuzhou and Yanzhou.
This is the junction of four states, one of which is semi-surrounded by Xuzhou and Qingzhou.
Early one morning, Zhang Yu led 50,000 soldiers and horses to Dongguan County, and Cao's army was very nervous and had been on guard.
But Zhang Yu still beat it.
"Soldiers, expand the territory with me."
Zhang Yu's pre-war mobilization was very simple, just one sentence.
All the soldiers were on fire, following Zhang Yu's pace, and killed with high morale.
Zhang Yu's target was Taishan County in Yanzhou.
Zhang Yu acted quickly, marching a hundred miles in a day and capturing a county seat.
Cao's army was shaken, and the battle reports were flying.
Zhang Yu's momentum is huge.
And the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou are also extremely nervous, because there is still a group of soldiers and horses on the border, and they don't know how this army will react, whether to respond to Zhang Yu, join Zhang Yu, and jointly attack, or suddenly invade them.
The soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, those soldiers and horses that were closely adjacent to Taishan County, did not dare to move, and let Zhang Yu act in Taishan County.
They can't help it.
On the other side, Ling Cao led 150,000 soldiers and horses, eyeing him fiercely.
And Zhang Yu, plus the 50,000 soldiers and horses brought from Beiping, is enough for 200,000.
Zhang Yu almost mobilized a million soldiers and horses this time to attack Cao Cao's territory together.
Cao Cao was under tremendous pressure.
Zhang Yu was crisscrossing Taishan County, and the news soon spread to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao was deliberating, all the staff members quarreled.
Zhang Yu is now dispatching a three-way army, and the intensity of the western front is not high now, but it greatly affects Cao Cao's resources.
On the eastern front, Xuzhou dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses to advance in the direction of Xuchang.
At the same time, Zhang Yu was in Taishan County in Yanzhou.
"My lord, my subordinates judged that Zhang Yu is very likely to invade the Lu State of Yanzhou from the East China Sea Kingdom in Xuzhou, and then he will be able to unite with Taishan County." Xun You said.
Everyone agreed on this judgment, what would happen to Zhang Yu if another army attacked.
Knowing is knowing, but there is no way.
Cheng Yu also said: "Lord, Ling Cao led the army but did not start, if Taishan County fell, Zhang Yu killed from the north, and Ling Cao just killed from the east, if the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou dare to rescue Taishan County, then Ling Cao will definitely take the opportunity to attack Yuzhou." ”
"Lord, you should give up Taishan County, concentrate your forces, block Zhang Yu's attack, and then slowly recover the land."
"Lord, don't, the land that is controlled by Zhang Yu will not be long before it becomes his, even if it is not, he will take all the people away, and giving up is tantamount to losing the hearts of the people."
"My lord, you should send more support."
Each of the strategists has their own views and principles.
Cao Cao was extremely irritable.
At this time, Jia Xu came out and said: "Lord, Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses are waiting for us to make mistakes, and where they make mistakes, he will dare to attack them." Why don't we break his idea, redeploy heavy troops, eat all the way to attack Xuchang, and then attack Picheng. ”
Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Then Taishan County and the surrounding area may not be able to be saved." ”
Jia Xu said again: "No, adding fuel to the tactics, being eaten by Zhang Yu little by little, we will be even more difficult." ”
Cao Cao thought for a long time, and then said: "Okay, that's it, Ang'er immediately mobilized troops and horses to surround and annihilate Zhang Yu's army." ”
Cao Jun decided to use Jia Xu's strategy to fight against Zhang Yu.
At the same time, he ordered the army of Taishan County to try to deal with Zhang Yu as much as possible, not to fight hard, to run if he can't fight, and not to give up the city easily.
