Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 879 Yuan Shao's poor way 1
In Xuchang, Liu Xie is now thinking about how to use this opportunity to regain power, but after much deliberation, he can't find a suitable way. The key is that he doesn't have military power in his hands, and he can't control the defenders in Xuchang city. For many years, he only had three or four thousand secret troops, but this amount of power obviously didn't play much role.

"Perhaps, the Jiehu cavalry can be used by me." Liu Xie looked up at the sky and said to himself: "As long as I can take back everything that belongs to me, no matter how great the sacrifice is, it is worth it. Gongsun Xu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, all of you None of them are good things, I want to take back everything that belongs to me, I want you to regret it,,,,,, "

Liu Xie's originally clear eyes are now a little scarlet. In fact, these years of life as a puppet have made him lose the happiness and kindness that he should have at his age. Now he is almost doing anything to achieve his goal.

While Cao Cao was trying to contact the Xuchang garrison, he led his troops to break through the encirclement of the Northern Xinjiang army and try to join the Xuchang garrison. Compared with Yingchuan, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the Jiehu cavalry alone were enough for the Northern Xinjiang army to drink. One pot, but the problem now is that now he has to face Gongsun Xu's army directly, and most of Yingchuan is surrounded. Except for the southern part adjacent to Jingzhou, the rest of the place has the shadow of the northern army.

After more than ten days of stalemate between the two armies, Cao Cao also made a tentative attack. Unfortunately, Gongsun Xu is now adopting a steady and steady strategy. Different from the ingenious strategy adopted in the past, Gongsun Xu is strengthening the camp while promoting the northern border. With a benevolent government and at the same time capturing four small towns with an absolutely superior force, the remnants of the Cao army in Chenliu's territory were gradually wiped out.

On the northern border of Chenliu, Cao Cao's 10,000+ elite camped here, and the whole Yanzhou is now in chaos. Gongsun Xu successfully surrounded Xuchang, but now after Cao Cao came, Gongsun Xu fell into a situation where he was attacked by enemies, and Guan Yu of Jizhou was also on the way Prepare to go south to pursue Cao Cao, that is to say, maybe after a long time, the 10,000+ army of Cao Cao's headquarters may also fall into a tight siege.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good..." Cheng Yu ran in and shouted to Cao Cao: "The big thing is not good..."

"Why are you so panicked? Gongsun Xu hasn't come in yet, and we haven't lost yet." Cao Cao replied, "Could it be that something happened to Yingchuan? It shouldn't be. My son Cao Pi is guarding Xuchang. I sent Sima Yi some time ago." Waiting for someone to come to help, I think nothing will happen."

"It's not us, it's Yuan Shao." Cheng Yu replied, "Yuan Shao lost his cities one after another, and under Gao Shun's onslaught, Yuan Shao now only has Pengcheng and Xiapi left."

"What?" Cao Cao said angrily: "This prodigal son, he has so many troops in his hands, his strength is not inferior to Gao Shun, and he was beaten so badly when facing the enemy head-on. What is he pretending to be? Why is he so stupid? ,,,,,,"

It is really annoying to have a teammate who is like a pig. Cao Cao has many plans that are difficult to implement because his teammates can't cooperate well with him, otherwise he wouldn't have played so hard.

"This time, I'm afraid I can't really blame Yuan Shao." Cheng Yu replied: "According to the report from the spies, Gao Shun led his army to storm Yuan Shao's army and restrained the main force of Yuan Shao's army. At that time, a large number of northern border troops suddenly appeared on the east side of Guangling and the East China Sea. Yuan Shao did not expect that the northern border army could lurk here, so he was caught off guard. Most of the grain and grass hoarded here were also burned. If they had hoarded enough food and grass, Yuan Shao's army would have been defeated by now."

"Donghai, Guangling?" Cao Cao stared at the map and said, "It must be the mysterious army in Gongsun Xu's hands again. Who led the army into the eastern part of Xuzhou?"

"Huang Zhong and Gan Ning." Cheng Yu quickly replied, "These two captured Guangling and Donghai respectively and destroyed Yuan Shao's food and grass base here. At present, the food and grass in Yuan Shao's hands may not last for three months."

"I know Huang Zhong. It is said that he is a general on par with Lu Bu." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Didn't this Gan Ning follow Gongsun in the northern expedition to Hetao and behead many Xiongnu troops in front of the two armies?" Warrior, the general who shocked the Huns army, I remember that there was no news about this person after that, and the meticulous work failed to find out his whereabouts. At that time, I thought he died in the rebellion. Now it seems that maybe Gongsun Xu assigned other tasks to him at that time."

"My lord, I found a strange thing after combining many examples." Cheng Yu frowned and analyzed: "Gongsun Xu probably has an army that can cross the ocean, transport food, soldiers, and grab beaches. Combat, from the time when Gongsun Xu used secret means to transport the Qingzhou Yellow Turban captives to the sudden appearance in cities near the sea many times later is enough to illustrate this point."

"Here, fighting across the sea?" Cao Cao shook his head in disbelief and said, "You mean that Gongsun Xu has a powerful navy in his hands. This navy is strong enough to ride the wind and waves. Is this possible? The Jingzhou navy is famous. In the world, the Jiangdong navy is also a rare elite, that is because the water system in the south is developed, and the natural geographical conditions have created the strength of the navy here.

Since ancient times, it has been riding south and north. Tell me now that Gongsun Xu not only has riding, but also boats?This, is this too absurd? The most powerful Jingzhou navy dare not say that it can ride the wind and waves to go to sea, but Gongsun Xu can do it. I have never heard that the northern border can train a powerful navy. impossible. "

"When Gongsun Xu went around to conquer the Yellow Turbans, he recruited shipbuilding craftsmen and soldiers. At that time, many people didn't understand why Gongsun Xu treated the craftsmen so favorably. The price is rushing to send the craftsmen under his hands to the northern border. Now it seems that Gongsun Xu started preparations as early as more than ten years ago. Perhaps, he was already building a navy while training powerful cavalry. It's just him The year is well hidden, and our secret work cannot penetrate it."

"Across land and water, you are invincible in the world." Cao Cao stroked his head and said, "Yuan Shao is about to be defeated. Send Cao Ren to lead an army of [-] to Lu, and prepare to accept Yuan Shao's rout. Since Gongsun Xu chooses to attack, it must be With a thunder strike, Yuan Shao failed one after another, and he had already lost the opportunity.

There are 3 frontier troops in Jizhou, but since our army attacked Jizhou, these [-] people are just waiting to see and have not acted. At that time, I thought it was a suspicious formation. Now I understand that he is waiting for an opportunity , [-] selected front troops, I am afraid that they are already preparing to launch the final blow to Yuan Shao..."

"This also explains why the Xuanfeng Army did not pursue when our army retreated." Cheng Yu nodded and replied: "My lord, let's go next..."

"Continue to send people to contact Liu Biao and the others." Cao Cao said: "Also, send me an envoy to visit Sun Quan and tell him that I am willing to support him in managing Jiangdong..."
