Chapter 526: The Siege Begins
Cao Cao made a difficulty, and discussed with the two people for a while, but to no avail.
The next day, he gathered all his staff and began to deliberate.
The result of the discussions was still that no consensus was reached.
In the past two days, Guo Jia has been very calm, eating, sleeping and drinking, doing whatever he likes, not in a hurry at all, and there is no atmosphere of soldiers pressing the realm at all.
However, Cao Cao and the others have been discussing, but they have never been able to form a unified result.
Again and again they discussed, and three days passed.
Cao Cao was also impatient and asked everyone to go back.
Cao Cao thought about it, so he summoned Guo Jia again.
"Brother Fengxiao, I heard that you have been doing well these days." Cao Cao asked with a smile.
"Naturally, unlike General Cao's busy affairs, there are still many difficult problems to consider." Guo Jia said.
"Haha, Brother Feng Xiao is interesting, not in a hurry at all." Cao Cao said.
Guo Jia said with a light smile: "What am I anxious about, in Youzhou, the lord has made all arrangements, Yuan Shao can't break it at all, as for whether you and Liu Bei can send troops, it's not something I should worry about, I'm just an errand runner, do whatever I have to do." ”
Cao Cao was shocked, could it be that Zhang Yu was really not worried that he would not send troops to him, he had to deal with Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops alone.
"Haha, Brother Feng Xiao is really a wonderful person, so I don't know if there are any proposals." Cao Cao asked.
Guo Jia leaned back in his chair leisurely, then picked up the tea and drank a few sips before saying, "General Cao, the decision is still up to you, I can tell you a situation." ”
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and waited for Guo Jia to say.
Guo Jia waited for a while and said, "According to my understanding of my master, Yuan Shao will definitely be forced to increase his troops or withdraw his troops, but General Cao can wait until that time to make a decision." ”
Cao Cao didn't go on to say that there were a lot of things involved, and it was impossible for him to let an outsider influence his decision.
The two talked for a while, and then Guo Jia said goodbye and left.
Guo Jia arrived at the door, then shook his head self-deprecatingly and said, "Do everything that needs to be done, and I should leave too." ”
Yes, Guo Jia is leaving, first went to scold Liu Bei, and then came to Cao Cao, here in Cao Cao, it seems to be asking for help, but it is not like asking for help.
Guo Jia said goodbye and left the next day, while Cao Cao was still having a headache.
There is a certain amount of troops, but when exactly will troops be sent and what will be the intensity of the troops?
Not long after Guo Jia left, sure enough, Cao Cao received the news that Yuan Shao had transferred another 200,000 troops to Youzhou.
The scope of Yuan Shao's transfer of troops was from Qingzhou and Jizhou, and it was obvious that Cao Cao had gotten the news early.
After getting the news, Cao Cao immediately began to mobilize troops and horses.
Yes, Yuan Shao moved, and transferred troops and horses from Jizhou and Qingzhou, this is their opportunity.
Cao Cao did not hesitate and immediately mobilized troops and horses.
And Cao Cao's move mobilized soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei immediately became nervous.
Liu Bei has always been afraid that Cao Cao will kill him again, and as soon as Cao Cao mobilizes his troops and horses, Liu Bei is naturally anxious.
He immediately gathered his troops and horses, no matter whether Cao Cao came to deal with him or not, he had to be prepared first.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei gathered troops, and with the use of well-intentioned people, they soon spread to Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao's troops were assembled, there was movement in the rear, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei were also gathering troops, and their intentions were unknown.
This Yuan Shao immediately became entangled.
Yuan Shao immediately called his subordinates.
"You say, what do Cao Apu and Liu Bei want to do, can they stop it?"
The subordinates began to quarrel again, and Yuan Shao's subordinates loved to quarrel.
After arguing for a long time, there was no result.
Fu Zhi came out and said: "My lord, you can send someone back to preside over the overall situation, we still have hundreds of thousands of horses there, and we can completely block it." ”
Guo Tu came out and said: "This is obviously a conspiracy, Zhang Yu has long known that they will send troops, otherwise where would it be so calm, we have besieged the city for more than a month, this Zhang Yu is still leisurely, wandering around the city from time to time." ”
Frustrated Tian Feng advocated a fierce attack, because 500,000 soldiers and horses were assembled, how could there be any reason to give up.
And Guo Tu and others thought that this was a conspiracy, and they should be dealt with carefully, and they should be besieged but not attacked, trapping Zhang Yu.
Guo Tu and others said that it is light, an army of 500,000 people, and consumes a lot of grain and grass every day, how can it hold up.
Finally, Yuan Shao ordered a storm.
"Fight, I have an army of 500,000, and I don't believe that I can't capture a small city." Yuan Shao said.
Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to immediately organize a large army and prepare for a fierce attack.
Yan Liang quickly took action, dispatched a large army, and began to attack.
At the beginning, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses attacked together, and the momentum was huge.
"Kill."
"The first to go up to the wall has a great reward."
"Capture Zhang Yu alive, and the official will be promoted to the fifth level."
Yuan Jun shouted slogans, and under the temptation of heavy rewards, they slaughtered the city one after another.
Zhang Yu heard the movement and also came to the city.
"It's finally true, as long as you repel Yuan Shao this time, I will beat him next time."
Zhang Yu handed over the city wall to Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, he did not participate in the specific command, but he did not leave the city, but watched the battle.
This time, Yuan Jun is really here.
"Lord, the military formation of the Yuan army in the distance is what you said about guarding against our cavalry, look at their appearance, where can they stop us." Dian Wei said.
Yes, Zhang Yu took a look, not far behind the Yuan army's attack formation, there was a military formation, guarded with shields and spears, just afraid that Zhang Yu and their cavalry would suddenly attack.
In addition, there are Yuan Jun's cavalry preparing a little later, as long as Zhang Yu's cavalry dares to come out, they will immediately rush forward.
The shields and pikes were used as a guard against heavy cavalry, while the other cavalry was meant to be a guard against light cavalry.
This Yuan army can be said to be well prepared, so half of the soldiers and horses from several states were mobilized to attack Zhang Yu.
In this case, Yuan Shao himself was not allowed to give up and not fight.
Yuan Shao came to the battlefield and saw more than 100,000 troops storming the city wall, and the scene was spectacular.
The soldiers rushed forward, as if they could tear down the walls in a single blow.
But at the head of the city, Zhang Yu and they had already prepared.
As soon as the enemy came up, ten thousand arrows were fired, and they suffered greatly.
At the city gate, Yuan Shao and the others prepared a lot of siege equipment, and the city vehicles began to hit the city gate.
But soon their storming car was out of service, because the whole car was on fire.
Zhang Yu filled the clay pot with alcohol and smashed it on their storming carts, and then set them on fire with arrows, causing them to abandon the storming carts and hinder the surrounding siege teams.
Similarly, the same thing happened to the soldiers who used the ladder, Zhang Yu poured alcohol on them, and then lit a fire.
In this way, Yuan's army returned in vain and had to suspend the siege.
"Why is this happening, where did the fire come from, why is it all burning?" The generals of the Yuan army were very puzzled why it was so easy to light the fire.
