Cao Cao had to draw troops and horses from several places before he could open it.

It is not so simple to arrange to resist Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

And Zhang Yu didn't know this, he led the army to attack the front line of the Cao army, and the support from the rear also came up in a steady stream.

Zhang Yu did not intend to stop this time, and the army kept advancing.

Zhang Yu led a large army to attack Xiyang County, where he reorganized his troops and horses, and handed over this area to Gao Shun, while he turned southwest with an army of 200,000 to attack the Runan region of Yuzhou.

To the north, Zhang Liao finally broke through the eastern county of Yanzhou, and was already approaching Cao Cao's base camp, at least Chenliu, Xuchang and other places were not far away.

In this way, Cao Cao is actually under great pressure.

He still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, but he is attacked on three sides, and he is still a strong army on three sides.

This made Cao Cao very passive.

Cao Cao encountered an unprecedented crisis and hurriedly mobilized a large army.

At this time, Zhang Yu killed Runan, which is also an important economic town, and Zhang Yu knocked Runan down, which was equivalent to cutting off one of Cao Cao's arms.

The speed was very fast, and Zhang Yu killed Runan without hindrance.

This is the center of gravity of Yuzhou, but it is not far from Yingchuan, and Cao Cao also left tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here.

Runan, the focus of Cao Cao's arrangement, almost gathered all the troops in this area there.

Zhang Yu walked for a few days and arrived at a place a hundred miles away from Runan.

"Capture Runan, use Runan as a base camp for attacking Yingchuan and Xuchang, as long as you hoard supplies and soldiers here, you can block the door of Cao Cao's house."

Zhang Yu studied the map, Zhang Liao in the north and Gao Shun in the east, and he attacked from the south to contain a large number of Cao's troops.

Yanzhou was in danger of being surrounded on three sides, and Cao Cao was also very difficult.

In Runan, although Cao Jun has a lot of troops, he can't stop Zhang Yu for long.

Zhang Yu suddenly turned to Runan, which surprised Cao Cao, and he also transferred a small number of soldiers and horses from Runan.

However, Zhang Yu played well, and suddenly turned, making him very passive.

Cao Cao urgently called Cheng Yu, Xu You and others over.

"Zhang Yu suddenly changed the direction of his attack, did he know our intentions, or did he have other plans?"

This matter cannot be careless at all, Cao Cao didn't figure it out, and he attacked rashly, and the cost was too great.

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said: "Lord, Zhang Yu shouldn't have noticed it, they are attacking from three directions, and we also have to defend in three directions, so that the troops are scattered, and if one place is not defended, the whole line will collapse." ”

As soon as Cao Cao and the others mobilized their troops, Zhang Yu suddenly changed the direction of the attack, which then led to some problems in their arrangement.

"Now, I'm afraid Runan can't be saved, once it is occupied by Zhang Yu, it will be very dangerous." Cao Cao said.

A few people had no choice, Zhang Yu was too strong, and he had already blocked them to the door.

At the same time, they also had to adjust their strategies.

"Lord, we can only delay time if we block Zhang Yu in Runan, and then we can complete the arrangement." After discussion, Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao had no choice but to accept this result.

At this time, Zhang Yu had already brought people to Runan.

Runan City is well built, and there are tens of thousands of defenders in it, and it will take several days for Zhang Yu to defeat it.

Zhang Yu began to attack Runan City.

Sure enough, the defenders inside were very tenacious, and Zhang Yu fought for seven days before he defeated Runan.

After conquering Runan City, Zhang Yu had a base, so he immediately sent tens of thousands of troops to follow.

Zhang Yu plans to build a base here, and then with Runan City, Zhang Yu can always attack the hinterland of the enemy army.

Ten days later, Zhang Yu's army was in place and 200,000 were transferred to Runan City.

In addition, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao also continued to attack and cooperate with Zhang Yu's actions.

Zhang Yu led people to attack, and the target of this attack was Yingchuan.

Yingchuan is definitely one of Cao Cao's hinterlands.

Zhang Yu was about to start attacking Yingchuan.

Zhang Yu was like a bamboo, and he had already hit the door of Cao Cao's house, which made the families in Yanzhou very afraid, some of them went to Luoyang, and some of them went directly to Zhang Yu's side.

Zhang Yu finally sent his troops, and as soon as the rear support arrived, he attacked with 200,000 troops, and Runan handed over to the people in the rear.

Zhang Yu sent troops and pounced directly on Yingyang, and if he hit here, he would be able to enter Yingchuan.

Cao Cao had already deployed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here.

Only by blocking Zhang Yu here can they completely stop Zhang Yu.

Cao Jun sent two generals to stop Zhang Yu.

Cao Ren fought with Zhang Xiu, and here he was ready to stop Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's army of 200,000 passed, and Cao's army also had more than 100,000 elite soldiers.

Zhang Yu went straight to Yingyang, there, Cao Ren defended the city, Zhang Xiu fought from time to time, Zhang Yu and they fought for five days, and the casualties were very large, but they could not break through the city.

"Cao Jun is going to die, this is scared."

After several days of fighting, the enemy was very tenacious.

Cao Ren defended, and Zhang Xiu took several risks to attack.

After three more days of fighting, Cao's army was defeated and abandoned the city.

"Chase."

Zhang Yu didn't hesitate and immediately led his troops in pursuit.

Cao Ren still had a lot of soldiers and horses, resisting along the road, and Zhang Yu continued to go deeper.

Zhang Yu broke Cao's army three times in one day, killing more than 13,000 enemy troops.

Cao Jun has been failing, Zhang Yu did not stay long, and has been deep.

However, Zhang Yu was not without vigilance, but sent people to carefully investigate places that were easy to be ambushed.

Zhang Yu attacked continuously, and the assault was very fast.

Cao Ren has been chased by Zhang Yu.

After chasing for two days, Cao Ren still hadn't gotten rid of it, so he stayed and set up a blocking position to intercept Zhang Yu.

Cao Ren arranged more than 70,000 people and set up improvised defenses.

Zhang Yu pursued.

"Cao Ren, you are at the end of your rope, it is better to submit to my Tang Dynasty, I am the king of the world, and it is irreversible." Zhang Yu said after arriving.

Cao Ren stood up, and then said lightly: "Emperor Tang, although you are strong, we may not necessarily lose, since we are not subordinate to each other, then we will be nonsense." ”

It's not that Zhang Yu wants to talk nonsense, but it is necessary.

"Hansheng, evil comes."

"The end will be."

"Order the two of you to break through the enemy's defenses."

Zhang Yu ordered, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei took the order and began to prepare.

Cao Ren's face was serious, and he was preparing in the formation.

"General, we can only block Zhang Yu for half a day, and the lord's arrangement can be completed." Zhang Xiu said with some worry.

"Zhang Yu is too shrewd to deal with it, so we can only fight." Cao Ren said.

After a while, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei began to attack.

Zhang Yu did not go into battle in person, this Cao Ren was not easy to deal with, Zhang Yu stayed to arrange the defense, and at the same time took the reserve soldiers and horses, ready to support at any time.

After fighting for two hours, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei broke through several defenses of Cao's army in succession.

"Report, Your Majesty, the enemy has been found thirty miles to the east."

"Report, Your Majesty, the enemy has been found thirty miles to the west."

Suddenly, the scouts around him came back and reported.
