Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 402 Seeking a Decisive Battle
There are still more than 4000 people in the city, and it is very difficult to block Zhang Ming.

After a struggle, the guard opened the door and surrendered.

Hopeless.

This time Zhang Ming's entire army came up, the offensive was fierce, and their soldiers were exhausted.

If they had reinforcements, they could still hold on.

However, there are no reinforcements now.

Losing hope is the scariest thing.

The city gate opened slowly.

Zhang Ming's mood was unusually calm.

It's all very logical.

"Zhang He, control the city."

Zhang Ming didn't go in immediately, Zhang He led an army of [-] to go in first.

"Xu Rong, you will immediately lead an army of [-] troops back to Qingzhou, and station between Qingzhou and Xuzhou to ensure that our army's rear and food roads are unblocked, and you will always threaten Yuzhou."

"Subordinates take orders."

Xu Rong did not enter the city, but left directly with [-] troops.

Now, there is no need for so many troops here for the time being, and it is necessary to prevent the enemy from sending troops from Yuzhou to directly cut off the connection between Xuzhou and Qingzhou Youzhou.

At this time, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are relatively empty, and both need generals and strong soldiers to guard them.

With Xu Rong around, Zhang Ming was completely relieved.

Zhang He entered the city and took control of the entire city before Zhang Ming entered.

After entering the city, Zhang Ming went directly to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Sitting in the State Shepherd's Mansion, Zhang Ming said: "Gao Shun, I will give you [-] soldiers and horses, and immediately take over the military affairs of the whole city and strengthen the city defense."

"Yes."

"The rest of the army should rest outside the city and not disturb the people."

"Zhang He, you immediately recruit Cao Jun's surrendered troops, break them up, and merge them into your department."

"Here."

Then, Zhang Ming ordered Guan Yu to continue training the miscellaneous soldiers recruited and recruited in Xuzhou.

Zhang Ming wants to train them into an army capable of fighting.

Each went to prepare, and Zhang Ming asked people to collect Xuzhou's documents.

He wanted to find out the current situation in Xuzhou.

After searching, there are very few documents in Xuzhou, and they are very messy.

"You still have to do it yourself. Send more people here. Counties will be sorted out one by one, and the land, population, etc. will be clarified."

There is not much information, and the information is incomplete. It is very difficult for Zhang Ming to formulate policies.

Fortunately, the occupation of Xuzhou this time has made a lot of wealth, and a lot of government money is still there, and it was transferred by the enemy before it had time.

In addition, some aristocratic families who had a problem with Zhang Ming directly confiscated their properties.

People may not be killed, but the land must be confiscated. At the same time, the wealth of the enemy must be confiscated.

In this battle, Cao Jun lost tens of thousands of elites, and about [-] elites were wiped out by Zhang Ming.

This is definitely a major blow to Cao Cao.

"In a few days, after the rest of the army is finished, I will attack Yanzhou. This battle is almost over."

Xuzhou can threaten Cao Cao's rear, but Zhang Ming doesn't believe that he can ignore Zhang Ming's existence and dare to continue attacking Jizhou.

Today, Cao Cao has also made great progress in Jizhou. He has captured two counties in Zhangming and is heading for the third county.

When Cao Cao learned of the battle situation in Xuzhou, he was very anxious.

Both sides had suffered heavy casualties, and Cao Cao believed that he had an advantage in Jizhou.

Cao Cao called the generals and said to several advisers: "Now, Zhang Ming's main army has fought so many games, and there are only about 3 or 4 people. After we increase our troops, there are still 8 people."

"Taking this opportunity, go straight to Youzhou and force Zhang Ming to withdraw. Even if we don't withdraw, it will prevent Zhang Ming from sending troops to attack our rear."

Cao Cao had the same purpose as Zhang Ming, wanting to threaten the enemy's rear.

"Meng De, it can't be like this. Zhang Ming is not afraid at all. I have been to New Beiping City. It is extremely strong and very difficult to take down. Zhang Ming must be very happy that you went to attack Beiping City."

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Xu You came out and slapped him in the face.

To fight Beiping City, how long will this army line be?

At that time, Zhang Ming sent tens of thousands of people to block from behind, cut off the food road, and they were all wiped out.

Cao Cao actually understood this truth, and it really calmed him down, so he wouldn't really go to Youzhou.

At this time, Youzhou is defended, and at least tens of thousands of city defense troops are not fake.

Cao Cao lost face.

But he didn't say anything, it's just that Xu You's way of speaking was too annoying.

"I was too impulsive, and I was pissed off by Zhang Ming. Now we need to concentrate our forces, defeat Jizhou's army, and occupy as many Jizhou counties as possible. After we operate for a period of time, we will attack Youzhou based on these places. "

Once the strategy was settled, Cao Cao took the initiative to seek battle.

Continue north.

Three days later, Cao Jun discovered the traces of Zhang Ming's army.

Xi Zhicai took the initiative to camp in the wild.

"Military Master, Cao Jun will find us soon, will he really fight us here?" Zhao Yun asked.

Xi Zhicai is very determined.

"Yes, if Cao Jun continues to procrastinate, I'm afraid the lord will make trouble in Xuzhou, and then they will be in a dilemma."

Xi Zhicai continued to analyze and said: "As long as the lord dispatches an army of [-] to attack Xuchang, Cao Cao will have to give up all the previous victories and return to aid, and he will become a big loser."

"If we can destroy or severely injure our army, at least he can keep the results, and he only needs to send a small part of the army back, plus the surrounding army to block the lord's army."

With Xi Zhicai's analysis, the generals were relieved.

In fact, they are not afraid of a decisive battle with Cao Jun here.

"The [-] city defense troops trained by the lord before have assembled. We will camp here and wait for the battle. Cao Cao will definitely be very cautious, but when our city defense army appears, Cao Jun will be relieved."

Xi Zhicai began to prepare, and let the [-] city defenders move over from other places and put them on the bright side, while the [-] city defenders were in the dark.

Fifty thousand troops came to support, so the strength of the two armies was equal.

Sure enough, Cao Jun soon discovered the defenders who came to support them.

When camping at night, Cao Cao called several advisers.

"This Xizhi is going to fight us decisively, what does he have to rely on?"

Xun You said: "You have to be on guard. The subordinates think that the other party may have other means."

Everyone thinks so.

Then start talking.

Other means are nothing more than hidden troops, or ambushes in the barracks.

Cao Cao made several plans, but he still wanted to fight.

"We must fight decisively, otherwise we will lose this battle, Xuzhou will be captured, and the rear will not be safe."

Everyone carefully strategized.

After some investigation, the [-] troops hidden by Xi Zhicai were also discovered.

Now Cao Cao is more confident.

The [-] yuan is what Xi Zhicai prepared.

"Continue to set off tomorrow."

The next day, continue to set off, after that, the two armies approached, very close.

Cao Cao camped [-] miles away from Xi Zhicai's camp.

After that, scouts from both armies were active.

Xi Zhicai dispatched special forces again to hunt and kill the opponent's scouts.

Before the main drama between the two sides started, the scout battle started.

Both armies are making final preparations, and the decisive battle may begin at any time.
