Chapter 756: Calling Cao Cao (Fourth Update)

What is going on in the front, the rear will of course receive news.

When the news of Kou Feng's attack on Fuling reached the rear, the whole Chu State was actually jubilant. Even if it is a frontier land, Wancheng is the same.

As soon as Xu Shu got the news from the front, he immediately summoned Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Wen Ping, Sha Moke and others.

When everyone arrived, they saw Xu Shu with a smile on his face.

Shamoko couldn't help asking, "What makes the general so happy?" Although Xu Shu is not the kind of person who can remain moody, he is also a general who thinks he is very dignified, and rarely shows such a smile.

"The battle ahead is going well, and with the help of Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da, the monarch has conquered Fuling, and Bajun is difficult to support alone. Shu is not far away. Xu Shu said with a smile.

"What a great event." Everyone was overjoyed and laughed.

"Since then, my Chu State has spanned the four states and has become the first-class power in the world. Compared to Cao Wei, it is not much better. ”

"It's really in Chu."

Just when everyone was happy, Xu Shu said with a smile: "There is good news from your side, which is certainly exciting. But if we can frustrate Cao Cao's spirit in the Central Plains, wouldn't it be even more icing on the cake? ”

"The general is going to send troops?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and he said.

The plan had already been in place, to raid the grain route, earn Zhu Ling's 20,000 cavalry, and force Cao Cao to withdraw from the army that attacked Ma Teng and Han Sui.

But the time never came.

Now, there is news that Ma Teng and Han Sui are still in the north of the Yellow River, confronting Cao Cao, and the two sides have won and lost each other.

"Our spies have figured out the law of Cao's army's transportation and the route. It's also time. Xu Shu nodded with a smile.

"The last general asks to come out." Zhao Yun immediately bowed.

This is a real cavalry duel since the establishment of the cavalry of the Chu State. Now, with the great increase in the combat power of the cavalry of the Chu State, at this moment, Zhao Yun has long been unable to wait.

"Tomorrow, let's get ready tonight." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"No." Seeing that Xu Shu was sure, Zhao Yun was overjoyed and responded.

"Seeing General Zilong galloping in front, but we are waiting behind, the general is a little eccentric." Although Shamoke was also happy for Zhao Yun, he had no chance to make a contribution, and he was also a little unhappy, and said.

At the beginning, Shamoko had a brother on his head, so he had to hide his temperament and deal with it. But after entering the Chu State, no one would harm him.

His character has regained a bit of barbarian boldness. It's very straightforward.

"If Zilong can wipe out Zhu Ling's 20,000 cavalry, it is equivalent to destroying Cao Cao's grain route. When the time comes, Cao Cao, who is majestic in his westward expedition, will not return to the army in shock and anger and fight with us? Some of the battles were fought. Xu Shu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said.

"Again, strengthen the fortifications. Wait for the storm to hit. Li Yan next to him also laughed and quipped.

"Yes. When the time comes, Cao Cao will be allowed to drink hatred under our Wancheng City. Shamoke thought about it and felt very reasonable, and smiled.

"Hahaha."

The crowd laughed and was very happy.

Kou Feng in front of him has already shown signs of victory, and it is really happy for them to have another big victory in the rear.

Soon, Zhao Yun was sent away by Xu Shu and forced to rest. Tomorrow will be the battle.

Although Zhao Yun left, the atmosphere in the hall was still very active.

"Although I am confident that I can block Cao Cao's attack, after all, it may be that Cao Cao led more than 100,000 troops to attack, and the momentum is too strong. Not to be underestimated. Now Jing Chu's soldiers and horses have been emptied by the king. I want to write a letter to mobilize Lu Meng in Jiangdong, and Zhou Tai and the two of them will send 20,000 reinforcements to help. I wonder what you think? Xu Shu said.

"Wancheng is an important place, and there is no place to lose." Wen Ping pondered for a moment and said immediately.

"Of course." Li Yan also nodded.

Xu Shu was afraid that doing so would hit the hearts of this group of arrogant soldiers. After all, it is also a shame that they need foreign aid to defend Wancheng.

But Wen Ping and others are obviously also focused on the overall situation. made Xu Shu quite happy.

These people, Wen Ping, Li Yan, Wei Yan, Shamoke. are the essence of the Chu State.

"Okay, I'll go to Situ Jiang Gongyan and ask him to transfer troops. Go down and prepare yourselves. Xu Shu nodded and said.

"No." Everyone agreed in unison, and they all walked down very energetically.

"Cao Cao." Shamoke even read Cao Cao's name on his lips, very excited. It was the first time he had a chance to play against Cao Cao.

This northern tyrant.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yun wore armor and swore an oath in the school field outside the city. For the first time, as a general commander, he went to the Central Plains and fought with the elite cavalry of the Central Plains.

On that day, Wancheng felt the vibration of the cavalry.

30,000 iron horses, such as Lin Ruyu, are very imposing.

At the same time, there was an official document out of Wancheng and came to Xiangyang.

Because Kou Feng, the Chu monarch, personally led his troops to attack Shu, therefore, at present, Situ Jiang Wan is responsible for supervising the country in Xiangyang City.

Every five days, Situ Jiang Wan would care about the identity of the third duke, and held a court meeting in the hall of the Duke of Chu's mansion.

However, this time, because of Xu Shu's troops, an additional court meeting was held.

On this day, in the hall of the Duke of Chu's Mansion, the elites of the Chu State were all present, including the three princes and nine kings, fierce generals and so on.

"The purpose of summoning all my colleagues here today is that Xu Shu, the general of the Right Army Division, has found a fighter plane and is sure to successfully destroy Zhu Ling's 20,000 iron cavalry. This matter has been agreed by the king. ”

Jiang Wan sat first on the left and hugged his fists towards the courtiers.

"Since the king has agreed, then ask Situ to dispatch troops." Liu Ba said beside him. Shang Shuling's status is currently second only to the existence of the Three Princes, and the status is slightly higher than that of Jiuqing.

Jiang Wan smiled slightly when he heard this, of course it made sense for him to summon the ministers. If you don't have to consult with your ministers, you will make your own decisions. Although Jiang Wan is not afraid, he may also gain a reputation for being in power.

Some are not good.

"In this way, please Shang Shuling to mobilize Lu Meng, Zhou Tai's 20,000 troops into Wancheng, and listen to the transfer of Xu Shu, the general of the right army. In addition, he also invited Zhang Fei, the rear general, to command 20,000 troops and enter Fancheng, on the one hand, if the situation in front is not right, he can immediately support. On the other hand, if there is a change in the front, it can also protect the safety of Xiangyang. Jiang Wan ordered.

"No."

Liu Ba, Zhang Fei answered the order and said.

With Jiang Wan's order, the entire Chu State was mobilized.

With the operation of Kou Feng in the past few days, the national strength of the Chu State has gradually become stronger. Now it is very easy to support the two-sided situation.

The three princes and nine secretaries, each general, each has its own responsibilities. In the absence of Kou Feng, he can also dare to start a war with Cao Cao.

Very inspiring.

It is really full-fledged and a country of its own.

Xu Du has Xun Yu to guard it, and there are 50,000 elite soldiers. Before Cao Cao sent troops, Zhu Ling's 20,000 cavalry was arranged to guard against Zhao Yun's cavalry.

Zhao Yun's cavalry had only been established for a few months, and it was already commendable that Cao Cao could attach so much importance to it.

Therefore, at present, although there is no natural danger between Xu Du and Wancheng. But Xu Du is up and down, and they are very relieved.

It is precisely because of the large number of elite soldiers in Xudu that Cao Cao also put the grain in Xudu. Starting from the entire Xudu, it will provide the food needed for the war ahead.

There are 200,000 troops on the front line, and the amount of food to be consumed every day is even more than a literal number. Therefore, every three days, there is a soldier and horse, who is responsible for escorting large quantities of grain to the front.

Every three days, not even a quarter of an hour. There were countless carts responsible for transporting grain, and the army was around a thousand.

In fact, it can be regarded as a clear display of the cavalry who looks down on Zhao Yun, and these thousand soldiers are just putting on a façade.

After all, Xu Du was so close, and Zhu Ling's 20,000 cavalry was there. If the lame cavalry under Zhao Yun's tent arrived, they would immediately be unable to eat and walk around.

And this time, it was every three days, when the grain had to be escorted.

As soon as it was dawn, the west gate of Xudu was opened. There was a group of soldiers and horses out of the city, and the flag was "high", followed by countless carts.

and a large number of people.

This general, surnamed Gao, is called Kaohsiung. It is a lieutenant general under Cao Cao's account. I have been in charge of escorting the grain for some time, because it is a long way to go.

Between Xudu and the front line, there is also a grain transfer station, which is set up in Hongnong. All he had to do was escort the grain to Hongnong. Each time, it takes about seven days.

This kind of work is very easy in Kaohsiung's view, and it is very rewarding.

It is merit to guard the rear and escort the grain, and there is no need to go to the front line to work desperately.

Because it was escorted several times in a row, it was very peaceful. Therefore, as soon as they left the city, the army did not immediately enter the state, but appeared lazy.

"General, this time, it may be the last time I will escort food with the general." The lieutenant next to him hung his head and said.

"Why? Is this a good opportunity to take credit? Just give up? Kaohsiung said with some puzzlement.

"My father is critically ill, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive." The adjutant replied.

In the Han Dynasty, filial piety ruled the world, and unless there were special circumstances for his father's death, he must keep filial piety. If you don't keep filial piety, you don't have filial piety, and your career ends here.

"Hey, my father is critically ill and can't do anything." Kaohsiung sighed when he heard this, sympathizing.

Escorting grain and grass is meritorious, and if the war ahead goes well, they can also be promoted to the next level. Now the vice-lieutenant has no chance.

The lieutenant general was even more depressed.

Although this group of people was lax, they did not walk slowly.

A day later, they arrived near the Tiger Prison Pass.

On the second day, I just departed.

I saw that the ground shook, and it seemed that a large number of cavalry were coming.

"What's going on?" Kaohsiung's complexion changed dramatically and he yelled.

"Could it be Zhao Yun's cavalry?" The adjutant general's face became even more gloomy and said.

The main generals and lieutenants have become like this, not to mention the soldiers under their accounts. It's almost a mess. Everyone knows what happens when they encounter a large cavalry on flat ground.

It's still a trivial matter to lose your life. If the grain is robbed, it will lead to a great defeat in front of you. Their whole family could be implicated.

In such a situation, everyone has to be colorless.
