Chapter 736: Besieging Xiapi City
An army of millions gathered, and the scene was grand.
Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed into battle, shouting to kill the heavens, and blood flowed like a river.
At this time, human life is like grass mustard, and a stubble falls.
After more than 20 days of fighting, Zhang Yu was relaxed, and there was not much movement.
But Yuan Shao and Cao Cao worked very hard.
Yuan Shao worked hard, that was to grab the territory of Xuzhou.
Xuzhou is rich, has a large population, and is a fast treasure land, which is really a waste to be occupied by Lu Bu.
Yuan Shao is confident that he occupies Xuzhou, even if Xuzhou is the land of four wars, it doesn't matter, he has the strength to defend it.
And Cao Cao worked hard to cut off a major hidden danger in the rear.
If Lu Bu was allowed to lead his troops to attack from the rear, Cao Cao could not afford this loss.
Cao Cao's first failed campaign against Zhang Xiu was largely because of Lu Bu.
If it weren't for Lu Bu, Cao Cao could have drawn more troops, and he didn't need to cooperate with Li Dao at all, and even turned around and could destroy Li Dao together.
"Lord, Lu Bu will not be able to escape again, this Xuzhou will definitely not be able to be saved, and it will be dismembered in the end and annexed by our three parties." Guo Jia calmly recounted in the military tent.
Zhang Yu picked up the tea on the table and took a few sips, tasted it before saying: "This time we took the initiative to give up more benefits, but we didn't have too many losses, and we didn't suffer a loss." β
"Yes, although this Lu Bu is at a disadvantage, from the intelligence, this Lu Bu has given them several heavy losses, and each has lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses." Guo Jia said.
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "But in the end, we must not be absent, this Lu Bu is the first fierce general, no one can match, his fate is very important, even if it can't be used by me, it must not fall into the words of others, and if it is not ours, it will be destroyed." β
Zhang Yu said unusually firm in the end.
This Lu Bu, one person can resist three fierce generals, and he is very effective in the battlefield assault.
If one Lu Bu makes good use of it, it can be worth the role of an army of 100,000 and 200,000.
Zhang Yu agreed to carve up this Xuzhou with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and was largely afraid of this Lu Bu.
Although the Yangtze River is blocked, Lu Bu cannot break into his core area, but this world is changing too fast, and this Lu Bu is always a time bomb.
Get rid of Lu Bu, change a piece of territory, and increase your strength.
This is a very cost-effective deal, Zhang Yu and the three of them all understand, so they can cooperate so sincerely.
"Fengxiao, you go and make arrangements, start looking for opportunities, once there is a chance to attack, we will break the soldiers and horses that are confronting us and kill them in Xiapi City." Zhang Yu said.
Through the conversation, Guo Jia knew in his heart that Zhang Yu was going to destroy Lu Bu and could not let other forces take the lead.
"Don't worry, the opportunity will come soon, the front line in Xuzhou is tight, and many soldiers and horses in Xuzhou have been withdrawn one after another." Guo Jia said.
"Okay, order the whole army to get ready, so that the soldiers can rush with me at any time."
Will hunt Lu Bu.
What an exciting thing to do.
Dozens of miles northeast of Huaiyin City, Zhang Yu and the others were stationed here.
At this time, the 100,000 soldiers and horses in the barracks were ready.
After more than 20 days of reinforcement and cleaning, Huaiyin City has been completely mastered, Zhang Yu transferred 30,000 defenders from other places, plus Gao Shun's soldiers and horses, this Guangling County will be very stable.
Gao Shun's mood has been very chaotic these days.
According to the plan, he would eventually go to besiege LΓΌ Bu together, and his 50,000 soldiers and horses were also very important.
"Lord, my subordinates really can't draw their swords against Wen Hou, I hope the lord can understand." Gao Shun struggled for a few days, looked at the northwest at the head of Huaiyin City and said.
Gao Shun has been struggling, at this time he has completely belonged to Jiangdong, and he also likes Jiangdong, and likes the heavy infantry created by him and Zhang Yu.
He used to think that Zhang Yu would attack whoever he asked him to attack.
Who knew that he really hesitated at this time.
Facing the old lord Lu Bu, he made a very difficult decision.
If Gao Shun was asked to choose Zhang Yu or Lu Bu, Gao Shun would not hesitate to choose Zhang Yu.
But now the situation is different.
Gao Shun wrote a letter to Zhang Yu and sent it to the camp quickly.
Zhang Yu received Gao Shun's letter, pondered for a long time, and then called Guo Jia.
"Bonghyo, what do you think?"
"This Gao Shun is a loyal person, and his choice is just that he can't bear to draw a knife against the old master, but if Lu Bu takes the initiative to attack us, I think Gao Shun will stop Lu Bu desperately, and he will definitely not fall to Lu Bu." Guo Jia said.
When making plans, Zhang Yu and the others did not take into account the relationship between Gao Shun and Lu Bu.
Zhang Yu and they all regard Gao Shun as their own person, and Zhang Yu has always entrusted him with important tasks.
But now we have to face reality.
"Then it will be Gao Shun, we said it first, he surrendered to me, but he will not use force with Lu Bu, but it has been too long in the blink of an eye, and I have forgotten this agreement." Zhang Yu also said with emotion.
"In this way, our plan has a hole that needs to be adjusted." Guo Jia said.
"Let Ling Cao bring 50,000 troops up, Gao Shun will not move, and still stick to Huaiyin City."
Now there is no war in Jiangdong, there are 500,000 troops in Jiangdong, and there is no problem in transferring 200,000 to Guangling County.
Guo Jia nodded to arrange.
Two days later, Guo Jia spotted an opportunity and suggested attacking.
Zhang Yu immediately led an army of 100,000 to attack the enemy who blocked them.
After several hours of fighting, the enemy was defeated and retreated, Zhang Yu led his troops to chase for 30 miles, beheaded more than 48,000 enemies, captured more than 20,000 people, and fled back to Xiapi City.
In this way, the city of Xiapi was opened to them, and there was no longer any hindrance.
Zhang Yu broke through here, and Chen Gong hurriedly withdrew all the troops.
There was no longer any obstacle to attacking Picheng, and the three parties immediately killed under Picheng.
Two days later, attacking all the way, Zhang Yu and them killed under the city of Xiapi, and at the same time, Yuan Shao's army and Cao Cao's army also arrived at the same time.
The three parties gathered under the city of Xiapi.
Zhang Yu is in the south, Cao Cao is in the west, and Yuan Shao is in the north, neither of which is due south or north, and the three sides form a regular triangle to surround the city.
After arriving, none of the three parties rushed to attack.
There are still more than 200,000 troops in Picheng, and there is also the first fierce general Lu Bu.
Xiapi City is obviously not easy to fight at all.
On the lower Pi city, Lu Bu stood proudly, looking at the enemy army outside the city and still fighting with a strong will.
Chen Gong stood sideways, looking at the military camp that stretched for ten miles outside the city, a little helpless.
Chen Gong's wisdom is outstanding, Lu Bu is the first in bravery, and they are not short of soldiers, horses, and food, but the result is that the strong enemy is besieging the city and is at the end of the road.
"I, Lu Fengxian, have never been afraid of anyone, I am a natural god of war, even if this is the last swan song, I must shine like an overlord for eternity."
Lu Bu's ambition remains.
Chen Gong sighed that Lu Bu was so brave, but he was not the final victor.
"Okay, Feng Xian, no matter what, I, Chen Gongtai, will accompany you to the end, and fight with the three most powerful princes in the world."
