was broken through all the way, and Zhang Yu and Dian Wei went to the middle again.

The middle lane is still in a stalemate at this time.

Zhang Yu and Dian Wei killed, and the middle side entered.

The formation of the Cao army was suddenly in chaos.

The Fuso people in the rear also killed them.

Now only the army on the right can be safely withdrawn under the leadership of Xu Chu.

Cao Cao commanded his army to resist, but the rout was irretrievable.

The partial collapse of the middle lane, coupled with the onslaught of the Fuso army, caused them great trouble.

The morale of the whole army of Zhang Yujun was great, and they passed by in disguise.

Cao's army was defeated.

In the end, under the killing of Zhang Yu's army, Cao's army retreated to the barracks to stabilize it.

Zhang Yu and the others did not continue to attack, and returned to the camp directly.

This battle Zhang Yu they won, it can be said to be a big victory.

After going back, they took stock of each other.

Cao Cao's face was very bad, and his heart was dripping blood.

In this battle, he lost more than 80,000 people, and also lost one general.

In this battle, he lost, he didn't expect to lose so badly.

I can't even fight to the death.

After Zhang Yu went back, he also counted the results.

In this battle, Zhang Yu's army killed about 40,000 people, about 20,000 were his soldiers and horses, and 20,000 were Fusang's army.

At the beginning, Zhang Yu's army was in front, otherwise Fusang's army would not be able to withstand such a fierce blow from Cao Cao.

Zhang Yu's strategy succeeded, and they were caught off guard by Cao Cao.

The main reason is that I didn't estimate that Zhang Yu and Dian Wei's combat power would be so strong.

This situation has only happened in Lu Buna, a person who led the army to smash the formation of the army apart, and then rushed to kill.

However, today Zhang Yu also did it, making Cao Cao suffer heavy losses.

Cao Cao was in a bad mood, having lost too many troops here, and his western front was already deadlocked.

More importantly, he had to transport grain and grass from the east and bring soldiers over.

After this battle, each licked his wounds.

"Wenyuan, there is me here, you go to the rear to command the overall situation, build a stronger defense line, and let Hansheng come over to support me." A few days later, Zhang Yu said to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao is a handsome talent, and his ability to lead the overall situation is stronger than Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong's combat power is also much higher than Zhang Liao.

With Zhang Yu here, there is no need for two commanders.

After Zhang Liao understood, he immediately left.

In the rear, you need someone to lead everything, you need to build defenses, you need to stock up on food and grass, and you need to stock up on other supplies.

Another important point is that these places have just been fought and need to be restored as soon as possible, and at the same time, all parties need to be served.

Some people have different intentions, and they are not willing to be ruled by Zhang Yu, and the rear cannot be chaotic.

There are even some people who take advantage of the chaos to become bandits, and they are the one who is in trouble.

A lot of things need to be handled.

Zhang Yu felt that Zhang Liao was the most suitable.

He has the ability.

A few days later, Huang Zhong arrived, and Zhang Yu and their strength were even stronger.

At the same time, Cao Cao's also sent a reinforcement over, and they had hundreds of thousands of troops on the Western Front, which could support in time.

Cao Cao couldn't send all his troops over, because it would require a lot of food and grass support, and all the resources needed to be invested here.

However, if they can't defeat Zhang Yu in a short period of time, and there are problems in other directions, the whole situation is in danger of collapsing.

Besides, there are not so many troops here.

This led to Cao Cao having to fight with Zhang Yu here with Zhang Yu for this fearless consumption.

Ten days after the war, Cao Cao and the others had been facing off here for nearly a month.

A month has been a huge pressure on both sides.

Cao Cao tilted the logistics over, and the entire force had a significant impact.

Now, in Xuchang, Cao Ang and Xun Yu are very busy all day long.

Most of them were busy with only one thing, which was to levy conscription and transport grain and grass to the front.

On the one hand, it is more difficult to raise grain and grass, but on the other hand, it is more difficult than raising grain and grass to transport grain and grass to the front.

The distance is as high as a thousand miles, and the people on the road do not know how much grain and grass they have to eat.

The two of them were very worried, and they couldn't help but do it.

The conscription of too many conscripts is also a great test of the stability of their rule.

Many people need to serve in forced labor, so there is no one to plant the land at home, which is also a big hidden danger in the future.

"The war on the Western Front, it was originally expected to be won in about half a year, and even if it couldn't be won, it could seize a lot of territory, and then raise grain and grass on the spot, but now the scale has risen, and it may have to be fought for a longer time."

Xun Yu frowned and said to Cao Ang: "Eldest prince, in the face of such a situation, the impact on us is too great, once we can't hold on to the front, it will be a disaster." ”

Cao Ang has been working hard lately, and he is also very sad, he asked, "What can you do, sir?" ”

"The worst plan, once you can't hold on, give Changshan County to Zhang Yu, and at the same time build a city not far away, Tun the army, and fight against Zhang Yu." Xun Yu said.

The western front, the farthest distance is thousands of miles, and it is also very far away from their core area, and it is their big rear, so it is obvious that they can't ignore it.

If they manage, they need too much food and grass for soldiers and horses, and if they continue to invest, they will be dragged down.

If the Western Front is directly abandoned, then the consequences will be the same, and it will be surrounded by Zhang Yu.

In fact, the best way is to develop the western front in a short period of time, so that the army can be supplied locally, so that there is no need to supply it all the time elsewhere.

But Cao Cao obviously doesn't have this ability, at least there is no way to support the consumption of the army within a year or two.

In fact, Zhang Yu doesn't have this ability, but he has a lot of money and can support such a large amount of expenses.

Cao Ang said: "Sir can write to persuade my father, but it is not appropriate for me to persuade him. ”

Xun Yu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement and began to pick up a pen and paper to write.

On the front line, after the battle, Zhang Yu was no longer in the battle, and the army maintained pressure, so that Cao Cao could not retreat.

Firmly dragging Cao Cao, the Yuan family on the other side can finally get a respite again, relying on a few counties in the state to recuperate.

The most important thing is that they have been expanding their military power.

In this way, Cao Cao was also very depressed.

Unable to fight, Cao Cao's army did not dare to move casually.

A few days later, Cao Cao received an urgent report from Xun Yu.

At first, Cao Cao thought that there was something wrong with the rear, and if the grain and grass could not be sent in time, then Cao Cao would decisively order a retreat.

"Build a strong city to resist Zhang Yu."

Cao Cao thought about it after reading the letter.

Then Cao Cao called several of his staff over.

"This is a letter from Xun Yu, you can circulate it." Cao Cao took the letter down.

The letters were quickly circulated.

Xu You first said: "This is a relatively safe way, but the cost of building a city is huge, and it takes more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians to build it for more than a year, which is the same as fighting a big battle." ”
