Cao Ang ordered resistance, not originally planned to give up some towns, and then focus on deploying defenses in several county towns, fighting a few games with Zhang Yu, and then defending Yecheng.

This strategy is actually very good, and it can completely drag Zhang Yu.

But now the situation has changed, and Zhang Yu actually wants to move the people along the way.

Not counting the people in the county town, Zhang Yu actually wanted to take all the people away, directly blocked the path, and sent an army to intercept it at the entrance of the village.

In order to express his position, Cao Ang immediately decided to personally lead his troops to intercept Zhang Yu's army.

Zhang Yu's army, the next stop is Guanjin in Anping County, which is not very far from Yecheng.

Originally, Cao Ang had deployed 30,000 soldiers and horses here, preparing to let the army retreat after resisting for three days, but this time he led people to support, let alone resist for a few more days, and even considered withdrawing some of the people first, at least some of the villages and towns outside the city.

Cao Ang must pay attention to the people and protect the reputation of the people, otherwise how to act in Jizhou in the future.

Cao Ang entered the city first, and he brought 40,000 men, so that there were 70,000 people in the city.

Seventy thousand people to defend a city, a small city is enough.

Half a day after Cao Ang arrived, it was almost evening, and Huang Zhong and Tai Shici also arrived with people.

"Han Sheng, the enemy is coming to help, I'm afraid it's what the lord wants to see the most, let's prepare well, I'm afraid the lord will launch a fierce attack." Tai Shici and Huang Zhong were three miles away from the city, looked at the city and said.

"Well, the Lord Justice can't find a chance to make a big deal out of it." Huang Zhong stroked his beard and said.

The teenager Huang Xu and several other teenagers didn't dare to step forward to interject, but their eyes were hot, and looking at the city was more enjoyable than looking at the beauties.

Huang Zhong looked at it for a while and said: "The city is not big, and it can be captured in a few days after a fierce attack, but I am afraid that the casualties will be not small." ”

Cao Cao's army was different from other armies and was difficult to deal with.

......

Xuchang, Cao Cao kept receiving news from Jizhou.

When he heard that Zhang Yu was approaching Yecheng, he was also very surprised.

According to the general practice, Zhang Yu has a chance to take many cities in Jizhou, but Yecheng is destined to have no chance.

Cao Cao thought about it for a long time and judged that Zhang Yu must be going to do something.

Zhang Yu's things are not very big, but it is very surprising.

In Zhang Yu's opinion, it is a big deal, but in their opinion, it may be just a small matter, so sometimes it is very surprising.

"Someone."

Cao Cao thought for a long time in the room when he suddenly screamed.

There were guards outside the door, and when they heard Cao Cao's call, they immediately pushed the door in, and then knelt on one knee.

"Pass my order, immediately let Cao Chun lead 50,000 tigers and leopards to ride to Yecheng, and let Ang'er dispatch."

Cao Cao actually sent his first heavy cavalry, which was also the most powerful army under him, to Yecheng.

Cao Cao was very worried, worried that Zhang Yu would do something unexpected.

Sure enough, not long after the heavy cavalry set off, Cao Cao received Zhang Yu's decision to move the population as a whole.

"I really don't understand, the cost of relocating hundreds of thousands of people, I don't know how much, it's not worth it at all." Cao Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he also understood that he should at least have a hard battle with Zhang Yu in Jizhou.

Let's not talk about whether ordinary people are important or not, even if it is not important, Cao Cao must make a gesture.

The cost of relocating the population is huge, and Cao Cao also understands, but he doesn't understand why Zhang Yu would do this.

Speaking of Jizhou, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici began to prepare after they arrived, they had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and early the next morning, Zhang Liao also arrived, and Zhang Yu will also arrive soon.

An army of 200,000 is a very threatening army.

Cao Ang's 70,000 people were not afraid of being surrounded by Zhang Yu and couldn't run.

Cao Ang naturally has a back hand.

Zhang Yu arrived, and the four generals gathered.

"Lord, according to the intelligence, Cao Ang is in this city." Huang Zhong reported.

Zhang Yu nodded, looked at the city wall and said, "We and Cao Jun both need to fight a big battle, and it is really good to fight here." ”

This place is not far from Yecheng, and there is also a supporting city in the rear, so Cao Ang dares to fight Zhang Yu here.

"Prepare for two days, prepare for the onslaught."

The preparation time reached two days, which was relatively slow, but Zhang Yu was not in a hurry, and Cao Ang was inside, which was enough to attract Cao Jun's attention.

Jizhou was preparing, and in Jiangdong, 50,000 soldiers and horses dressed up as people transporting grain set off to Hefei City and Chao County.

In addition, the navy also appeared on the Yangtze River, but at the moment it only appeared at the mouth of the Yangtze River and was replenished at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Guo Jia and Zhao Yun have been hiding in Danyang County, and except for a few people, no one knows that they are here.

Zhao Yun was able to calm down, as a military general, he was not impatient, and practiced guns in the courtyard every day.

On this day, Guo Jia watched Zhao Yun practice his gun in the courtyard.

"Zilong, your marksmanship has improved a lot, the big war is imminent, there are many people who can be so calm as you."

Zhao Yun didn't stop, but didn't stop until he finished practicing all the moves.

Zhao Yun sat beside Guo Jia while wiping his sweat, and then said: "The troops have been mobilized, we will set off tomorrow, and General Ling and General Zhou Cang will attack first two days later." ”

Gao Shun was not mobilized at this time, his position is very important, Xiapi City is one of the northern barriers of the entire Jiangdong, and it cannot be lost, although there is still the Yangtze River in danger, but Guangling County is also very important.

Gao Shun is like a needle of the sea god, which can make Jiangdong no danger.

Guo Jia said: "The movement made by the lord in the north should be transmitted to Jiangdong in the past two days, Cao Cao has already transferred the tiger and leopard to the north, more resources have been mobilized in the past, it is easy to transfer the past, I am afraid it will not be so simple to transfer back." ”

The two of them chatted casually, without any tension before the big war.

The next day, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun set off and moved towards the battlefield.

The fleet at the mouth of the Yangtze River was also replenished, and they first went to sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and soon after going to sea, they made a sharp U-turn and suddenly turned back.

The fleet went from the mouth of the Yangtze River to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which was a very rare thing at other times.

There have been before, but there are no ifs.

There were a lot of merchant ships coming and going at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and a huge fleet was seen.

The bows and crossbows on the fleet exude terrifying lethality.

The soldiers on both sides of the fleet were mighty.

The fleets that passed by all pulled aside to avoid it, and then looked at this fleet that suddenly appeared.

This fleet is large and very powerful.

The troops in Chaoxian and Hefei suddenly set off, aiming for Lujiang County in the south.

Lujiang County is also the place where Sun Ce focuses on defense, in order to block the soldiers and horses in the north of Zhang Yu.

The north is more complicated, with Hefei City, Lu'an City and Shouchun City.

Hefei City is in the hands of Zhang Yu, forming a three-legged tripod.

The soldiers and horses of the two cities suddenly appeared, which began to make the defenders of Lu'an City nervous, and then found that something was wrong, the army actually went directly south.

The south is an important area of Poyang Lake.
