Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 881
In Yingchuan, 10,000+ Beijiang troops were active frequently. During this period, the cavalry of the Cao army stationed in Yingchuan continued to fight against the cavalry of the Beijiang army. The cavalry was originally ordered by Cao Pi. After all, Cao Pi was appointed by Cao Cao himself to guard Xuchang. However, with Cao Cao's successive failures and Sima Yi's secret designs, Cao Pi's military power was gradually deprived.

The [-] Jie Hu cavalry soldiers have not lived a very good life these years. They have to charge at the forefront every time they fight, but they can't get what they deserve when they are rewarded. The Yellow Turban Army lived together, and the contradictions between the two races had always existed, and small-scale conflicts continued one after another. However, because they were Jiehu, they were often the targets of suppression.

This is also Cao Cao's strategy of employing people. If it is not my race, its heart must be different. Cao Cao just wants to use this group of cavalry, and he does not really want to recruit them. In Cao Cao's heart, he does not agree with these Jiehu cavalry at all, especially them. Cao Cao will never forget the crime of massacring the children of the Han family on the grassland and taking the Han captives for military rations.

If it was normal, when Cao Cao was strong, these Jiehu cavalry soldiers would not be qualified to resist at all, but now, Cao Cao led the troops outside, and Cao Pi, who was guarding Xuchang, was gradually being emptied.Sima Yi, who said that he would surrender the Jiehu cavalry, once again used his eloquence to persuade the current leader of Jiehu to join Liu Xie. This made Yingchuan Liu Xie's territory, and it was actually Sima Yi's territory.

"My lord, General Gao Shun came to report that Pengcheng was defeated, and Yuan Shao died of illness before the city was destroyed." Li Ru went into the big tent and reported to Gongsun Xuhui: "Tens of thousands of routs fled to Yanzhou and were accepted by Cao Ren, and the rest were all taken in by Cao Ren. Prisoner, at this moment, there are still many enemy troops in Xuzhou who are stubbornly resisting, and General Gao Shun said in a letter that it will be difficult for the main force to advance in a short time, and it may take more than a month to completely take Xuzhou."

"Xuzhou has already gone south, so stability should be the top priority." Gongsun Xu stopped what he was doing and said, "All you need to do is order the selected vanguard to approach our army, and the rest of the troops follow the orders of their respective commanders. However, you pass orders to Gao Shun. , Ask him to assist Zilong to complete the encirclement of Cao Jun, and completely separate the forces other than Cao Jun."

"Our army fought one after another, and the four armies attacked at the same time." Li Ru said: "The food and grass consumed every day is too huge. If Cao Cao cannot be dealt with within two months, then the Jingzhou army and Jiangdong army will go north to invade our army's rear. If so, I am afraid that our army will not be able to support it. Cao Cao currently has an elite army of nearly 20, and Yingchuan has an army of nearly [-]. "

"The Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army have already started to move, and we really should end the battle as soon as possible." Xu Shu next to him nodded and said, "My lord, as long as we send the main force to take Xuchang, Cao Cao will become a bereaved dog. Turning things around, the next focus of our army should be to defeat Yingchuan in one blow. Cao Cao already had 10,000+ elite soldiers in his hands, and now he has surrendered Yuan Shao's defeated troops. With his ability, he should hold on for three or four months. It's not difficult."

"Yingchuan,,,,,," Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "Let Gao Shun transfer to the camp to support our army. In addition, I have to choose the front army to guard the camp. I am afraid that there will be accidents. If there are soldiers in the camp Now, it shouldn't take too long to break through Yingchuan.

In addition, I ordered Youzhou to do my best to produce more gunpowder, and our next focus is to break through Yingchuan, which will require more explosive packs.

Cao Cao has an army of nearly 20, and I have to use more soldiers to complete the siege of him. The troops from Jizhou have already moved south to block Cao's army. Now Gao Shun not only needs to clear up the remaining enemy troops in Xuzhou, At the same time, Cao Cao had to block his way to the south.

We need to guard against Cao Cao and the enemy troops in Yingchuan, while Zilong also needs to guard against Jingzhou soldiers and horses. That is to say, our army looks powerful, but it can actually be used for siege The troops on the ground are not too many. If Gao Shun hadn't taken Pengcheng forcefully this time, our army's situation would have been even more dangerous.

Now our focus is to win the Central Plains. The grassland is still safe for the time being. I want to transfer Yan Liang's army to the south to support our army, so as to help our army break through Yingchuan and take down Cao Cao. "

"Master Taiwei is guarding the grassland, and at the same time General Xu Rong is in Hetao, so there shouldn't be any major problems for the time being." Xu Shu pointed to the map and said, "Now our army has flattened the north bank of the Yellow River, and there is also Xu Rong in Xiliang. Huang and Ma Chao's troops, so sending General Yan Liang's troops south will not have much impact on the grassland, but the premise is that we must resolve the war as soon as possible."

"It can only be like this now." Gongsun Xu said while writing a letter: "Late will change. With the strength of our army, if we take a break for a while, we will certainly be more confident in sweeping Cao's army, but Cao Cao is the hero of the world. I managed to If you push him to this point, you won't be able to give him a chance to breathe, so start attacking Yingchuan Cao's army immediately, and build a line of defense to stop Cao Cao's soldiers and horses that may appear in the east of Yanzhou..."

"Report,,,,,," a messenger ran in and shouted: "Report to the general, there is a new situation in the enemy army, the enemy's commander-in-chief flag on the Qingfang City has been changed from the Cao flag to the Liu flag, ,,,,,"

"Changed?" Li Ru questioned: "Could it be that Cao Cao just changed his general? But could he not even trust his own son? Also, who is the general surnamed Liu? Being able to replace Cao Pi, my lord, is this a suspicious strategy of the enemy army."

"Liu Ziqi,,,,,," Gongsun Xu frowned and asked, "Who is the enemy commander and who is the deputy commander?"

"The deputy commander of the enemy army is Sima Ziqi."

"Then it must still be Sima Yi." Gongsun Xu patted the table and said, "Although the commander-in-chief of the army has all the military power, in fact, when it comes to combat, it is still dispatched by the deputy commander. Sima Yi defended Yingchuan, Cao Pi was just a name, and now there is a general with the surname Liu, and the surname Liu, could it be Liu Xie?"

"What, Liu Xie, he, isn't he a puppet of Cao Cao?"

"No, there must be something wrong." Gongsun Xu said hastily, "Hurry up, order the ghosts, I want them to go to the city to find out the news. Something must have happened in Xuchang. Sima Yi's allegiance is to his Sima family, not Cao Cao. Now that Cao Jun is in great trouble, Sima Yi will definitely think of other ways to keep his family, and he must have switched to Liu Xie."

"If this is the case, it will be troublesome. Liu Xie is the emperor. If we continue to attack Yingchuan, wouldn't it be like a rebellion? As long as Liu Xie claims that Cao Cao is a traitor, and now we get rid of all ties with Cao Cao, we will have nothing to do There is a reason to attack Yingchuan..."

"We can't wait any longer, attack Yingchuan immediately, we must not let the enemy destroy our plan,,,,,,"
