Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 885 Attacking Xuchang First 1
Xia Houyuan's [-] troops eventually retreated. With Zhang Fei and Li Ru around, it was impossible for Xia Houyuan to recover those Qingzhou rebels. If Xia Houyuan hadn't commanded properly and combined infantry and cavalry, Zhang Fei's [-] cavalry would be enough to cause him to lose his troops. , defeated.

In Cao Jun's camp, the morale of the army was low, and the Northern Frontier Army in Jizhou and Xuzhou had already entangled Cao Cao. Otherwise, when the Qingzhou Army's more than 6 horses rebelled and Xiahou Dun was held hostage, how could he only send Xiahouyuan's 3 soldiers? If possible, Cao Cao really wanted to use his army to chase back the Qingzhou rebels, and even break through Gongsun Xu's siege and join the soldiers and horses in Yingchuan. Unfortunately, Cao Cao will never have this opportunity .

"The last general failed to recover the rebels, please forgive me, my lord." In the big tent, Xia Houyuan knelt in front of Cao Cao and said, "Zhang Fei led 2000 cavalry to stop our army. In the battle with Zhang Fei's cavalry, our infantry lost more than [-] infantry, and the infantry also lost about [-]. The final general is incompetent and failed to fulfill the orders of the lord. He deserves death."

"Hey, get up." Cao Cao sighed and said, "It's a good thing I sent you to pursue it. If I sent other people, I'm afraid 3 horses will not return more than [-] people. I think Zhang Fei still remembers his old feelings. Otherwise, with Li Ru's vicious scheming, he will definitely set up a lot of obstacles, that's all, with Gongsun Xu sitting in Yanzhou, we really don't have many chances."

In the big tent, everyone had nothing to say. At this point, the northern border army invaded Yanzhou with an extremely strong posture, and successfully separated their own side. Even Cao Cao himself lost the confidence to take back Yanzhou. Let alone them.The incident of the Qingzhou rebels made Cao Jun's already troubled situation worse. The soldiers and horses in Yingchuan did not contact Cao Cao now. In a blink of an eye, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops were left with only 10,000+ people, and they were still 10,000+ Soldiers and horses with low morale, what did Cao Cao use to resist Gongsun Xu's northern lions.

"What's the northern army doing now?" Cao Cao asked, staring at the map on the table, "Gongsun Xubu will order a bigger game, not just to take down my Yanzhou, but the northern army in Jizhou and Xuzhou has already entangled Our army, where are the other northern border troops now, how is the situation in Yingchuan?"

Hearing Cao Cao's question, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally Cheng Yu stepped forward and said, "General Cao Ren led an army of [-] to keep an eye on Guan Yu's army. Xuzhou is closer to us. Gao Shun has already captured the entire territory of Xuzhou. At this moment We are mobilizing troops and horses to compete with our army. Zhang Liao's forward troops are stationed in Peidi. According to reports from spies, Lu Bu is in Zhang Liao's army, and Zhang Liao's forward troops have more than [-] troops. During this period, if there is an emergency In war, Lu Bu can also command soldiers and horses to fight.

The situation in Yingchuan was changing, and Gongsun Xujin besieged Yingchuan with his elites. The 2 cavalrymen of Jiehu were killed by the frontier army in field battles, and more than 2 were killed. Killed more than [-], and the remaining Jiehu cavalry saw that dividing troops to guard the city was not their specialty, so they joined forces and camped in the wild.

After Yan Liang's army entered Yanzhou from Luoyang, they defeated the defenders along the road. Now, the cooperation between Yan Liang and Ma Chao has cut off Xuchang's connection with foreign enemy soldiers and horses, and completely besieged Xuchang. Yan Liang's side may have taken into account that His Majesty is in Xuchang City. More than 3 Jiehu cavalry have not been wiped out on the periphery, so they have not attacked the city for the time being. According to the speculation of his subordinates, Gongsun Xu should be dispatching troops to prepare for the final attack. If the Jingzhou Army and Jiangdong Army do not come to support us If so, I'm afraid Gongsun Xu's next target will be us. "

"What a quick move. Gongsun Xu has many generals and elites under his command." Cao Cao squinted his eyes and sighed. Otherwise, Yingchuan won't retreat so quickly, these two idiots are self-righteous."

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao and continued, "The remaining 3 Jiehu cavalrymen have 10,000+ civilians in their hands. They utter harsh words. If Gongsun Xu continues to attack, they will kill the 10,000+ civilians within a day. All beheaded, presumably this is the main reason why Gongsun Xu stopped attacking when the situation was very good. In addition, there is also news that His Majesty and Sima Yi may not be in Xuchang City. The plan to hold His Majesty hid in the Jiehu army and threaten Gongsun Xu with the lives of 10,000+ people may have been written by Sima Yi."

"Damn Sima Yi, damn it..." Cao Cao shook his head and said angrily, "His move seems to temporarily stop Gongsun Xu from attacking, but in fact, this will only intensify the conflict between the two armies. Moreover, if If Gongsun Xu was cruel enough, would he care about the lives and deaths of these 10,000+ people?Sima Yi, hmph, don't say that Gongsun Xu won't let him go, even if it's me, if I have the chance, I'll kill him alive.

Liu Xie, who took advantage of me to send troops outside many times, instigated rebellion against the defenders in Xuchang City. The ministers in the court did not forget to join forces with foreign princes to attack our army. Otherwise, I wouldn't have attacked him. Gongsun Xu must have seen through Liu Xie's mind long ago, so he never planned to compete with me for the emperor from the beginning. The minister who made a mistake was sent to my Yanzhou, presumably to strengthen Liu Xie's strength, so that he can continue to fight against me, Liu Xie, what qualifications does he have to be an emperor, disregarding the life and death of the people, and credulously believing the words of treacherous sycophants, causing foreign cavalry to mess me up In the land of the Central Plains, this person is my big man's sinner, sinner..."

Speaking of the latter, Cao Cao was a little hoarse. There are many reasons why things have turned into what they are now. Although Cao Cao is a person who knows his mistakes and corrects them without admitting them, he can guarantee that he will not go the wrong way. But people like Liu Xie and Sima Yi have been against him all the time. If Liu Xie hadn't made trouble in the rear many times these years, Cao Cao might have sent troops to take Yuzhou and expand his territory and strength. It will be like the sheep now, when Gongsun Xu comes, he can't resist it.

In the wilderness more than 100 miles outside Xuchang City, the Jiehu cavalry camped against the mountains. The cries and cries of innocent people would be heard in the camp every day. The Jiehu cavalry threatened Gongsun to continue to retreat. If the Northern Xinjiang army continued to besiege them If not, they torture those innocent people every day.

In the camp of the Northern Frontier Army, the elite and fierce Northern Frontier Army is on standby to attack. In Gongsun Xu's big tent, all the generals are gathered here. Will Gongsun Xu be intimidated by the brutal behavior of the Jiehu cavalry?Things have developed into what they are now, will the Northern Xinjiang Army retreat?
