Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 153 Undercurrent is surging!

Ye Fan's ten strategies to swallow Jiangdong shocked everyone.

And Cao Cao also started to make arrangements step by step according to Ye Fan's strategy.

They all had a hunch that maybe the time to pacify Jiangdong was not far away.

Just when Cao Cao's army camp was in full swing, another Cao Cao army was already heading towards Juiyang City!

The leader is Zhang Liao!

Zhang Liao and others had previously asked for orders to deal with Liu Bei, and Cao Cao agreed, so he sent Zhang Liao's 30,000 troops to Huoyang.

Even if there are only 30,000, it is several times more than Liu Bei's strength.

After Liu Bei received the news, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Damn it, Cao Jun is still targeting us after all!"

Zhou Yu had previously written a letter asking them to send troops to contain Cao Jun, so as to provide cover for Jiangdong's surprise attack on Wancheng.

Now they must take the initiative to send troops, and Cao Jun has already arrived.

"My lord, there is no need to panic. We are just trying our best to defend. Our army is weak and Cao Jun must be proud and complacent. It is not that there is no chance of victory."

Zhuge Liang stood aside and slowly spoke to comfort him.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed.

He recalled the previous burning of Xinye and the defeat of one hundred thousand soldiers of Cao Cao, and then the defeat of Cao Ren. Each time, he defeated more with less.

So he directly took Zhuge Liang's hand, looking sincere.

"Military advisor, everything depends on you. If we lose Juoyang this time, there will really be no place for us!"

Zhuge Liang was naturally full of pressure, but he couldn't show it and just nodded slowly.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best!"

Liu Bei turned around and had people call Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others over.

"Cao's army is approaching fiercely. This time we must work together as one, and everyone must obey the military advisor's arrangements. Do you understand?"

Everyone said yes, and they recognized Zhuge Liang's ability.

Zhuge Liang walked slowly in front of everyone and began to divide his troops to defend against Zhang Liao.

"General Zilong, you lead a thousand men into the woods on the left side of the city to ambush."

"Yes!"

"General Guan Yu, you are leading a thousand men to ambush on the right side outside the city. You cannot act rashly."

"Leader!"

"General Zhang Fei, you personally select a thousand elites to ambush in the city. When I give the order, you will rush out of the city. Remember not to be reluctant to fight!"

"Don't worry, military advisor, I understand!"

"..."

Orders were issued in an orderly manner, and almost all generals received their orders.

Now they are quietly waiting for Zhang Liao's army to arrive.

……

On the other side, Gan Ning led three thousand light cavalry and rushed to Wancheng.

Sure enough, they went very smoothly along the way without encountering any obstacles, because no one would have thought that they would risk a surprise attack on Wancheng. This was incredible.

"Haha, Thief Cao really didn't expect this. It seems that Wancheng is within easy reach!"

Gan Ning finally felt relieved at this moment.

He was worried before coming. After all, every surprise attack was seen through by Ye Fan in Cao's camp, and Gan Ning escaped death every time.

Therefore, before sending troops this time, he was still worried. But now everything was going so smoothly that he couldn't help but believe again that they could succeed.

"Hmph, Cao Cao, Ye Fan, just wait for me. If I have the chance, I will definitely avenge the original humiliation!"

……

Wancheng.

As a city that had been captured long ago, Cao Jun did not take Wancheng too seriously, so the original garrison of Wancheng was less than a thousand.

Even the generals stationed in Wancheng were very lax. After all, how could the enemy come here?

But unexpectedly, the enemy did not come, but Xu Chu came.

Xu Chu originally asked Ye Fan for advice on the art of war, but Ye Fan asked him to lead his troops to Wancheng, which made him confused.

Of course, if you want to send troops, you must have Cao Cao's consent, but as soon as he said it was Ye Fan's order, Cao Cao agreed without saying a word, without even asking what Ye Fan asked him to do.

So Xu Chu led an army of 10,000 people directly to the gates of Wancheng.

"What exactly does Mr. Ye Fan mean? Along the way, there are not even bandits. Is it just to get rid of me?"

Although he is a rough man, Xu Chu is not stupid. He can naturally see the embarrassment on Ye Fan's face when he asked for advice on the art of war.

"But if you ask me to lead 10,000 troops to Wancheng just to get rid of me, is it too childish? Will Mr. Ye Fan really do such a boring thing?"

Xu Chu only felt restless in his heart, and could not guess what Ye Fan was thinking at all.

When the army was under the city, the guards and officials in the city hurried out to meet.

"I didn't know it was the general who came. I didn't come far to greet him. Please forgive me, general."

Although Xu Chu's official position was not high, he was Cao Cao's personal bodyguard. What he meant was basically what Cao Cao meant, so the officials in Wancheng did not dare to neglect him.

Xu Chu nodded slowly, without a smile on his face.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Ye Fan asked me to lead the troops here."

The guard frowned, wondering in his heart, and asked quickly: "I wonder why Mr. Ye Fan asked the general to come here? We can cooperate fully."

Xu Chu scratched his head and said, somewhat dumbfounded: "Actually... I'm not sure either."

These words made Wancheng's guards and officials a little confused.

They came with an army of 10,000 people but didn’t know what to do. What happened?

Or is it that something is going to happen to them in Wancheng?

Some relatively smart officials had guessed something, but they didn't dare to say it. After all, even Xu Chu didn't know, and they couldn't speculate on their own.

"No matter what the matter is, your strategist has his own reasons for asking the general to come here. Please ask the general to go into the city first. We can help the general and the soldiers wash away their dust!"

An official stepped forward and said flatteringly.

Xu Chu nodded repeatedly. He didn't dare to relax when he was around Cao Cao, but now that he has arrived in Wancheng, he still doesn't know the purpose of coming. It is simply unreasonable to not relax at this time.

"Okay, follow me into the city!"

Xu Chu waved his hand, and an army of 10,000 followed Xu Chu into Wancheng.

Wancheng is also a prosperous place and is an important transportation thoroughfare. A large number of merchants pass by here every day, so it can be considered prosperous.

Therefore, Xu Chu received a very grand reception, and even his soldiers were treated with courtesy.

Killing chickens and sheep in the military camp was as lively as the Chinese New Year.

Although the officials in Wancheng didn't know Xu Chu's purpose of coming here, they knew they couldn't neglect Xu Chu, otherwise if Xu Chu went back and said a few bad words to Cao Cao, they would be doomed.

Xu Chu also couldn't figure out why Ye Fan asked him to come to Wancheng, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"Anyway, sir, of course he has his reasons. Why do I want to do so much?"
