Chapter 863 Cao Cao Wins Yizhou

"Now we can't relax, because the enemy has not been completely wiped out. Now listen to my order, concentrate all forces, and surround the enemy's village. The battle must be over within two hours!" Jia Xu said.

"Yes."

Hong Ran continued to send troops.

Ma Chao also led the cavalry to line up outside the enemy camp.

As long as the enemy comes out, he will rush up and entangle him.

The six brigades led by Hong Ran and Du Zhen, with a total of 8000 men, circled towards the two wings and surrounded the enemy camp.Under Jia Xu's command, the fiercest offensive was launched.

Just an hour.

The enemy's entire army was wiped out.

When attacking the stronghold, some enemies wanted to surrender.

Jia Xu did not agree.

When he first attacked Cao, he even treated the people of Huaxia as if they were shoes, and used them as cannon fodder at will.Facing the soldiers of the Western Shang Empire now, how could he soften his heart in the slightest.

Under Jia Xu's strict order, not a single enemy soldier remained.

"Hahaha." Guan Yu won a great victory in the south and returned to the camp with a smile.

He saw that the battle here was smoother than he thought.

Can't help but be overjoyed.

Jia Xu led him into the tent and said, "Yun Chang, you fought well in the south. With a few thousand infantry, you wiped out all the fleeing enemy troops. Congratulations."

"Compared to Mr.'s here, the battle at the last general's place is really not worth mentioning."

"Yun Chang is humble."

Jia Xu called the generals in the army.

He sat down and said: "Generals, you have all seen it. It took us less than two days to defeat the enemy's [-] elite. It can be seen that the Western Shang Empire is not as strong as we imagined. They are undoubtedly good, but when fighting against the enemy, you must not only look at weapons, but also look at strategies.”

"Yeah yeah.."

All the generals felt it.

Only a handful of commanders in the Western Shang Empire were good at commanding operations.

The others are wine bags and rice bags.

Just like the First World War.

Besieged once, not yet vigilant.

As a result, within a few hours, they were surrounded again.

Even such a simple tactic can't be seen through, which shows how bad the commander is.

"Sir, are we going to Nanpi?" Ma Chao asked.

"General Meng Qi is right." Jia Xu said: "Nanpi is still occupied by the enemy, and Beiping is also under threat. Since we have wiped out the main force of the enemy army, we should send troops immediately to help Beiping, counterattack Nanpi, and wipe out the enemy. Get out of Hebei."

"Report."

At this time, a soldier sent a letter.

Jia Xu opened it to look, laughed and said, "Your Majesty is coming."

"Your Majesty has personally led seven brigades to Qingzhou. We are preparing to cross the Yellow River and land in Pingyuan County. Let us lead our army to Nanpi and flank the enemy with reinforcements."

"Okay."

Hong Ran and the other generals laughed in surprise.

Xu Ding fought from south to north.

They fight from north to south.

Flanking from both sides.

If the enemy's troops are insufficient, they will definitely fail.

Jia Xu said: "It is not too late to send an order to the three armies. It will be repaired within a day. After that, the troops will be dispatched to Nanpi."

"promise."

The generals answered.

Since the Battle of Xuzhou, the situation in the Central Plains has been excellent.

The Western Shang Empire could no longer organize large-scale offensive wars.

There are Jia Xu and Xu Ding in Hebei, and the lost land will be recovered in a short time.

There is Lu Xun in Qiao County, who can block the enemy's soldiers in Huainan.

Guo Jia was stationed in Nanyang, together with Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, etc., relying on Fancheng to cut off the Neijiang River, the enemy troops in Jingzhou did not dare to be rampant.

And at this time.

Cao Cao had achieved breakthrough success in Yizhou.

It's ironic.

Liu Zhang claimed to have an army of [-] troops, but he was no match for Cao Cao's [-] troops.

Moreover, Mianzhu has been lost!

Mianzhu is the last barrier of Chengdu.

It was occupied by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao will be able to drive straight in, directly to the city of Chengdu.

Although Cao Cao has not many troops, he cannot conduct large-scale urban battles.But with the help of Sima Yi, he fought against the enemy with formations and was almost undefeated in field battles.

About [-] troops are deployed outside the city.

Set up tents.

Cao Cao discussed with Sima Yi: "We have repelled Liu Zhang's reinforcements twice. Now there are only Hanjia troops, and there are [-] enemy troops. They dare not come out. Should we attack Chengdu first, or attack Hanjia first?"

"I suggest attacking the capital first."

"Why?"

Sima Yi said: "My lord's purpose in taking Yizhou is to increase his strength. What is strength is the number of weapons and soldiers. Among the [-] Yizhou troops stationed in Hanjia County, the leading general is Gao Pei. He has been suppressed by Zhang Ren in Liu Zhang's account, and he has long been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang. We will first take the capital, and then send people to persuade him. If Gao Pei can be recovered, the strength of the lord will increase a lot."

Cao Cao said: "I am worried that when we attack Chengdu, Gao Pei will lead the army to attack."

"My lord, don't worry. I'll send you a letter to persuade him." Sima Yi said, "Even if he can't make him surrender, he will never help Liu Zhang again."

"Ok."

Cao Cao had long intended to persuade Gao Pei to surrender.

It's just that he wasn't sure.

Since Sima Yi is interested, he might as well give it a try.

that night.

Sima Yi sent a letter to Gao Pei and got a reply.

Gao Pei said in the letter that most of the generals in the army were unwilling to surrender, so they temporarily stationed in Hanjia.As long as Prime Minister Cao captures Chengdu, he will persuade all the generals in the army to surrender.

After Sima Yi received the reply, he immediately reported it to Cao Cao.

"Hahaha." Cao Cao was overjoyed.

Sima Yi really persuaded Gao Pei to surrender.

It is equivalent to eliminating worries.

"Zhong Da."

"exist."

Cao Cao praised: "One of your pens is worth [-] troops. With Gao Pei's surrender, we can attack Chengdu without worry. I believe that we will be able to make achievements in a short time."

"Congratulations, lord."

Sima Yi cupped his hands.

In order to capture Chengdu as soon as possible.

Cao Cao appointed Cao Ren as his general and led [-] soldiers to attack Nancheng.

The rest of the troops are arrayed in the distance.

While attacking, Cao Cao shouted: "Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent. Yizhou will fall into the hands of the rebel army sooner or later. It is better to surrender to me than to be captured by the rebel army."

"General Zhang Ren of Yizhou, you are a disciple of Tongyuan, a spear prodigy. Your martial arts skills are not in vain."

Cao Cao kept shouting.

Zhang Ren stood at the head of the city, commanding the army to meet the enemy.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, he lost his mind for a while.

Thinking of his fame in his lifetime and his excellent marksmanship, but he used it to defend Liu Zhang's city, he really failed his master's teaching.However, he quickly reacted and continued to command the soldiers to fight.

Because he understood that this was Cao Cao's trick.

The purpose is to keep him from fighting.

He must not fall for it.

Even if you want to surrender, you have to wait until the Cao army is defeated and surrender on your own initiative.Otherwise, there will be no status with Cao Cao.

from now on
The generals of the Yizhou army, who have been defeated repeatedly, have a lot of hearts.

Many people don't want to fight anymore.

In contrast, Cao Cao's soldiers became more and more courageous as they fought, and their morale was high.

Under the leadership of Cao Ren, they launched successive attacks.

this day.

Gao Pei, who was stationed in Hanjia County, suddenly led his army westward, bypassed the south city, and arrived in the east city.

He did not come here to help Liu Zhang.

But to help Cao Cao.

"Hey! Soldiers in the city, listen up. I am Gao Pei. I have been ordered to take your capital. Quickly lay down your weapons and come out to surrender. Otherwise, I will destroy the city in an instant!"

Gao Pei shouted loudly.

His position in the Yizhou Army is second only to General Zhang Ren.

The prestige is extremely high.

Many soldiers are his old subordinates.

Seeing Gao Pei outside the city, he had already surrendered to Cao Cao.

The soldiers hesitated.

Gao Pei shouted, "Where is Yang Huai?"

"Ben will be here."

Yang Huai's situation is similar to Gao Pei's.

He was also pressed by Zhang Ren, almost out of breath.

"Stop serving Liu Zhang. How can a foolish lord be our lord? You and I served Liu Zhang together. Now that I have surrendered, why do you have any scruples?"

"Quickly open the city gate and welcome Prime Minister Cao into the city. Let's follow Prime Minister Cao and make contributions."

Gao Pei kept persuading.

Yang Huai hesitated.

He asked the soldiers to open the city gate and come out to talk with Gao Pei.

"General Yang, listen to my persuasion. Liu Zhang is already a dead bone in the tomb, and he won't live long. Why should you be buried with him. It's the right way to submit to the prime minister with me and make meritorious deeds."

"Ahem..."

Yang Huaichao glanced behind him, and whispered: "General Gao, I'm telling you the truth. I also wanted to surrender a long time ago, but it's just that I have no way out. Since you have surrendered to Prime Minister Cao Cao, why don't you introduce me?"

"You also intend to surrender?" Gao Pei said with a smile: "That's great."

"You open the city gate now, and I'll rush in. Capture the capital, and then dedicate it to the prime minister. This is a great achievement." Gao Pei said.

"it is good."

Yang Huai hardly thought about it.

Since Cao Cao entered Yizhou, Yizhou County has lost consecutive battles.He has been punished and demoted by Liu Zhang many times.The current authority in the army is simply unsightly.

It is better to take refuge in Cao Cao.

With this in mind.

Yang Huai and Gao Pei conspired to break into Dongcheng.

The sergeants guarding the city were ordered by Yang Huai not to resist.

Gao Pei took advantage of the situation and rushed to kill.

He easily entered Chengdu and captured Liu Zhang, the Lord of Yizhou, Li Yan, Huang Quan and others.

Gao Pei didn't stop for a moment.

He led the army to fight against the southern city.

Attack Zhang Ren from behind.

in this way.

Inside the city were Yang Huai and Gao Pei, and outside the city there was Cao Ren leading [-] elite troops to attack the city.Zhang Ren was attacked from both sides, and it was difficult to defend the city, but Cao Ren broke through the defense line and entered the city.

"Yang Huai and Gao Pei are both willing to surrender. Moreover, they have already led the army into Dongcheng..." Cao Cao was overjoyed when he read the letter from Gao Pei.

This is the happiest time since he entered Yizhou.

"My lord, look..." Xiahou Dun suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward.

I saw that the city gate had been opened.

Cao Cao was very excited and shouted: "Soldiers, enter the city!"

roar roar.
All the soldiers quickly marched into the capital.

Since then.

Cheng has fallen.

After Cao Cao seized this place, he surrendered Zhang Ren, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Li Yan, Huang Quan, etc., and incorporated all Yizhou troops in Chengdu and its western border.About forty thousand.

after that.

The four counties in the south of Yizhou learned that Liu Zhang had died.

Under Sima Yi's strategy, they also surrendered one after another.

Cao Cao won [-] soldiers and became the new master of Yizhou.

The matter of Yizhou cannot be hidden from the secret work of Huaxia Kingdom.

On the day Liu Zhang died, it spread to Nanyang County.

Guo Jia is setting up defenses, preparing to resist the enemy forces in Jingzhou.Hearing this news, he couldn't help laughing: "Cao Mengde is getting stronger and stronger. He has only [-] to [-] troops, and even Yizhou has been captured by him."

"Hmph, what's so strange about this." Xu Chu said: "I can only say that Liu Zhang is too weak, with a hundred thousand soldiers in his hand, he can't match Cao Cao. If it were me, Cao Cao would never want to enter Yizhou."

"Ha ha.."

Guo Jiaming didn't say anything, but smiled.

Xu Chu's martial arts skills are not bad. If he really wants to fight Cao Cao, he will be no match for soldiers and generals.

Guo Jia sat down and said: "After Cao Cao captured Yizhou, the territory has become countless times larger than before."

"Yizhou has thousands of miles of fertile soil, and hundreds of thousands of troops can be stationed. Xiliang is an excellent place to raise horses. In time, Cao Cao's strength should make another big leap."

A teacher said: "So, Cao Cao will become our threat?"

"Since that's the case, shouldn't we contain him?" Another teacher said.

"It's not the time yet."

Guo Jia puts the overall situation first, and knows that the battle with Cao Cao will affect all battlefields in the Central Plains.

Once the Western Shang Empire breaks through the line of defense, the consequences will be disastrous.

Instead of causing such an unfavorable situation, it is better to establish a good relationship with Cao Cao and jointly resist the Western Shang Empire.

"Leaving aside Cao Cao, let's think about how to defend Nanyang."

Guo Jia pointed to the map on the back and said: "The enemy's [-] troops have already controlled all of Jingzhou. They arrived at the front line of Fancheng two days ago. General Gan Ning is leading the navy to defend against the enemy with Huang Gai and Cheng Pu. "

"We must rush to help within two days."

"General Xu Chu."

"Yes." Xu Chu came out.

Guo Jia said: "You are in charge of guarding Wancheng."

"Sir, I..." Xu Chu looked embarrassed: "Can you let the last general go to the front line. Wancheng has an invincible army, what are you leaving me here for?"

"Wancheng is invincible, but you can't be careless. Because this is a fortified city, it is a barrier to prevent the enemy from entering Yuzhou. You are stationed here to guard against the enemy's sneak attack."

"Once Fancheng goes to war, or the enemy breaks through the line of defense, Wancheng may fall at any time. How can you take it lightly?" Guo Jia said.

"Yes, I will understand at the end."

Although Xu Chu was unwilling, he still complied.

"The rest of the ministries will travel with me night and day to Xinye. After securing the defensive position, we will go to Fancheng." Guo Jia continued.

"As ordered..."

The generals answered.

a few days later.

Guo Jia led the troops and arrived in Xinye.

Xinye is a dilapidated small town.

The land is only a hundred miles away, and there is no danger to defend.

but.

Guo Jia had planned long ago, and set up a formation here to intercept the enemy.

At least, leave the strength of two divisions.

"Sir, I don't understand why you need to defend a small town like Xinye?" Yuan Yun, the commander of the Seventh Division, asked.

"You all think it's useless here?"

Guo Jia asked several generals around him.

"Hmm. It's useless." No one could see the clue.

Guo Jia said: "Let me tell you. This place in Xinye is very important to this war. Although its terrain is not dangerous, once we hold the defense line of [-] miles from north to south, it is impossible for the enemy to rush into Wancheng This is to prepare for the fall of Fancheng. Only in this way can we go to Fancheng to defend against the enemy with confidence."
