"My lord, there are five days left, and the army in the city will break through. www.biquge.info"The Northern Xinjiang Army has only been in Yanzhou for more than 20 days, and no matter how well they prepare in advance, it will be difficult for them to transport all the grain, grass and ordnance accumulated in Jizhou to Dingtao City in a short period of time. Based on the arrows fired by the Northern Frontier Army in the past five days, the number of ordnance they have left will not be too much. We continued to attack, increasing the number of feints to reduce casualties, and in doing so, we were able to consume a lot of the arrows of the Northern Army. By the time the troops in the city break through five days later, the Northern Frontier Army may not be able to hold back our front and rear attacks due to lack of armament. ”

While everyone was arguing, drums and trumpets sounded in the rear of the army, and the Hu cavalry began to attack the flanks of the coalition again.

"Damn Hu people...... Cao Cao whipped down, and a bush of weeds was broken by the waist, and flew up, "When I defeat Changyi, I will definitely kill these barbarians without leaving a single piece of armor." ”

At dusk, the scout delivered a startling message. The northern cavalry quietly crossed the Jishui River, surrounded Jiyang, and cut off the grain route of the army.

Cao Cao was taken aback.

The army's food and grass were already seriously insufficient a few days ago, and if Liu Bei hadn't arrived in time, he would have been hungry. Although Yuan Shao promised to provide himself with grain and grass baggage, considering Chen Liu's safety, he only promised to let the army escort the grain and grass baggage to Jiyang, and then Cao Cao sent someone to pick it up. After meeting with Liu Bei, Cao Cao immediately freed up manpower to rush to Jiyang to carry grain and grass, but he didn't expect to let the Northern Xinjiang Army take the lead.

"The cavalry of the Northern Frontier is lone and deep, aren't they afraid of being surrounded by us?" Cao Cao had a rare smile on his face, and said happily, "But that's fine, the fewer troops under Dingtao City, the greater our certainty of success." Li Yi wants to cut off my food channel and force me to retreat, so okay, I'll surprise him. ”

Then, he loudly ordered the heralds behind him: "Order Cao Chun and Xu Chu to take the tiger and leopard cavalry to rush south to meet Zhoucang on the eastern front line and attack Changyi City." ”

At this time, Cao Cao didn't dare to leave the Dingtao battlefield. Since the cavalry of Northern Xinjiang can surround Jiyang, of course, they can also directly kill 500 miles to raid Chenliu. If Chen Liu was captured by the Northern Frontier Army, the original second line of defense could not be established, and he would be surrounded by the Northern Frontier Army. At that time, even if he rescued the army in Dingtao City, he would have to face the encirclement and interception of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and he could only escape from the rain of bullets and arrows.

Now, Cao Cao had great confidence in raiding Changyi.

Since the Northern Xinjiang cavalry on the Dingtao battlefield killed their backs, the Northern Xinjiang cavalry guarding Changyi must rush to the vicinity of Dingtao in order to pursue and kill when they retreat. His back road was cut off, so he could only choose a road to escape from the north and south banks of the Jishui River, either fleeing north to Fengqiu to join Yuan Shao's army, or fleeing south to Bocheng into the territory of Liang in Yuzhou. If the Northern Frontier Army wants to encircle itself, it must deploy cavalry on the north and south banks of the Jishui River, so that Changyi City will be an empty city.

After taking Changyi, the Northern Xinjiang Army took care of one thing and the other, and the tide of the battle was reversed, and he took the opportunity to lead the army to withdraw to Yuzhou. Preserving strength is his first priority, as long as he has strength, Liu Bei's strategy will not succeed.

When the coalition army blocked the Northern Xinjiang Army in the second or third line of defense, with the advantage of the coalition army in terms of strength and wealth, it was completely possible to defeat Li Yi and recapture the Central Plains.

I have the strength, but I am still afraid that Yuan Shao will annex Yanzhou?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Central Plains is defeated, the Northern Xinjiang Army will next fight Luoyang and Yuan Shao, and will not waste time and energy chasing and killing themselves. With a large army in his hands, when Li Yi and Yuan Shao are unable to look south, the counties and counties around Yuzhou and Jianghuai will immediately become their own turf for a comeback.

The army, no matter what, must keep the army, as long as the army is in hand, there is still hope for everything.

With this in mind, Cao Cao gave several orders in a row.

"Ordered all departments to make a feint attack, make a hesitant posture of retreating, and lure the Northern Xinjiang Army to the north and south banks of the Jishui River as much as possible."

"Urgently report to Yuan Shao, ask him to do everything possible to hold Chenliu, and quickly send troops to receive us from the Dingtao battlefield."

The change in the situation of the battle made everyone panic.

The power of the Northern Frontier cavalry is gradually being revealed, and the bloody and cruel tiger has already revealed its claws. Whether the army can successfully rescue the army in Dingtao City, and then successfully break through, including Cao Cao, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.

………………

Yingchuan, Yuzhou, Xuchang.

The good news has been sent to Xuchang one after another, and Yuan Shao's mood has been getting better and better day by day in the past few days.

"Gao Rou said in the letter that the Northern Xinjiang Army had abandoned Pinggao and had retreated to Huaicheng." Feng Ji made a summary of the battle reports of the past few days, and finally said, "At present, the Northern Xinjiang Army has withdrawn from Guanxi and Henan, and on the battlefield in Hanoi, the two sides have also returned to the front before March, and the Luoyang crisis has passed. ”

"It has been more than a month since the Northern Xinjiang Army suddenly attacked Henan." Yuan Shao stroked his short beard and said happily, "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief today." ”

Fu Zhi, who was looking down at the scroll, turned his head slightly and glanced at Yuan Shao, wanting to say something, but then lowered his head and stopped talking.

"How's the situation over there in Guanzhong?" Yuan Shao asked, "Does Xiansi have a letter?" ”

"No news." Feng Ji shook his head and said, "Yue Fei led the army to kill back violently, whether it was Xiansi or Zhang Xiu, they could only avoid its edge and temporarily guard the south bank of the Yellow River." Especially Xiansi, he was reluctant to send troops before, under the pretext that Han Sui threatened Chang'an. Now that Yue Fei has returned with the army, he certainly has a better excuse to withdraw his troops. ”

"The book tells you that you are not allowed to withdraw your troops without my orders." Yuan Shao frowned and said loudly, "Now that the armies of Luoyang, Henan, Yuzhou, Jingzhou and other places are all fighting on the battlefield in the Central Plains, of course he must do his best." You tell him that if he continues to act willfully and refuses to obey military orders, I will let him go back to Luoyang to stay. ”

Feng Ji nodded again and again, and was about to speak, but Yuan Shao had already turned his gaze to Fu Zhi and asked, "How is the situation on the battlefield in Yanzhou?" Cao Cao and Liu Bei refused to accept our suggestion, and were unwilling to hold on to the city on the front line of Juju and Jiyang, and the method of establishing a temporary defense line was no longer feasible. You see, can Cao Cao and Liu Bei fight under Dingtao City and rescue the army of Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Wei Yuanjin and others? If they can break through the resistance of the Northern Xinjiang Army and successfully enter Dingtao, the battle situation may be ......"

"Impossible." Frustrated, he denied, "It is impossible for Cao Cao to break through the resistance of the Northern Xinjiang Army." If Cao Cao had wiped out the army under Dingtao City, what else would he have? There is nothing left, so Cao Cao will do whatever it takes to retain his strength. For the sake of the overall situation, I suggested that the lord immediately organize the army and rush to Chenliu, advance eastward along the north and south banks of the Jishui River, and rescue Cao Cao and Liu Bei before the Northern Xinjiang army encircles and annihilates them. ”

"Get them out?" Yuan Shao was slightly surprised, then laughed thoughtfully, and asked Fu Zhi, "I still have to save them?" ”

"Of course." Fu Zhu said, "Don't think that the Northern Frontier Army currently has no superiority in strength on the battlefield of Yanzhou, so it can't completely annihilate Cao Cao and Liu Bei. ”

"Li Yi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and many big battles have been won with less and more. The lord once participated in the Liaodong War that year, and he should remember that Li Yi was at an absolute disadvantage in that war, but what was the result? If the lord does not send troops to support this time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will definitely be more and less lucky, and there is a chance that the whole army will be wiped out. ”

"Cao Cao and Liu Bei's entire army was annihilated, although it can buy us time and help us hold the first line of Fengqiu and Chenliu, but this is only temporary. Zhang Fei of the Northern Xinjiang Army will immediately lead the army into the Central Plains, and tens of thousands of troops of Gao Shun, Wei Yan, Xun Di, Zang Ba, Wu Dun and others will also appear in the Central Plains, and the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army to encircle and annihilate Cao Cao and Liu Bei's strength can be solved by levying prisoners, so that the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army will surpass ours. We can't hold the first line of Fengqiu and Chenliu, and it is very likely that the army will be defeated like a mountain, and we will be defeated for thousands of miles, so we can only defend Luoyang. ”

Yuan Shao thought for a while, then looked up and exchanged glances with Feng Ji.

Feng Ji nodded slightly and said, "Once the main force of our army appears on the front line of Chenliu and Fengqiu, it will be a deterrent to the Northern Frontier Army. The army may not be dispatched, and it will be able to scare the Northern Frontier Army back. For the Northern Xinjiang Army, if it wants to completely annihilate Cao Cao and Liu Bei, it will need to pay amazing losses, and the Northern Xinjiang Army may not be willing. ”

The corners of his mouth lifted a hint of mockery, but he said seriously: "The left and right flanks of the Northern Frontier Army will soon appear on the battlefield in the Central Plains. The three armies of the Northern Xinjiang Army marched in unison, and more than 200,000 troops roared up. We can only divide our troops to block, and the number of troops at this time will be directly related to whether we can block and drag the Northern Xinjiang Army. ”

After a pause, Fu Zhu continued: "I have repeatedly said that we are going to fight a decisive battle with the Northern Frontier Army, and if we want to defeat the Northern Frontier Army, we must first give full play to our own advantages. Our strength is in strength and wealth. Once Cao Cao and Liu Bei are defeated, we will immediately lose our superiority in strength, and this battle will not be able to be fought, so we must do our best to save Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army of more than 100,000 troops. Then we relied on the two blocking lines and Luoyang City to confront the Northern Xinjiang Army for a long time, dragging the Northern Xinjiang Army on the battlefield in the Central Plains until it was defeated and defeated. ”

"However, in the future, the battle will be won, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, as well as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are full-fledged, and we ......" Feng Ji's face was worried, and he whispered half a sentence, but he immediately realized that this sentence was obviously out of place, and immediately swallowed back the words that followed.

He looked at him with disdain, and said solemnly: "At this moment, if we want to defeat the rebellious Li Yi, defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army, and protect the Han Society, we must really work together and work together, otherwise everyone will end up together." (To be continued.) )
