Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 275 After Sun Quan died, Cao Cao was not calm anymore

The tenth day of April in the first year of Zhang Wu
Cao Cao, who was storming Yecheng, received the news of Sun Quan's death.

"Sun Zhongmou is dead?" Cao Cao was shocked.

"Your Majesty, it's still too late for our army to dispatch troops." Cheng Yu sat in the car next to him, showing a bit of bitterness.

"What are you panicking about? Isn't the world divided into two?" Cao Cao sneered. "Three generations of Sun's father and brother have occupied Jiangdong for decades. It will take time for Liu Feng to completely subdue the people on this land."

"By the way, where is their main attack direction, can you figure it out?"

On the side, Jia Xu cupped his hands slightly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Shu army is the strongest, nothing more than a few elite troops. This is good at land warfare, and there is another strong one, which is water warfare. In my humble opinion, they will cooperate with the navy first. Attack Xuzhou, then Qingzhou, send troops from Yingchuan, send troops from Xuzhou, and then cross the Huaihe River and attack the Central Plains in three directions."

Cao Cao laughed, "Win the Central Plains, Liu Feng will be out of control."

"Then, you know, when will Liu Feng's southern expedition army be able to go north?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has calculated that it will take at least [-] days to reach Huaibei."

"Twenty days." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, "Then let's launch a decisive battle."

"Send an order to throw fierce fire oil into Yecheng."

"Within three days, whoever breaks through the city of Ye will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and sealed as Marquis of a Thousand Households."

"Here."

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, "In addition, let Cao Pi lead the army and continue to attack Goguryeo."

"Here."

"Your Majesty." Cheng Yu stood up, "I think that the Central Plains should be taken first."

"Central Plains? Go to Xuzhou and Liu Feng's bloody battle of 10,000+ navy?"

"I heard that his Jiaozhou navy and Yangzhou navy have gone north one after another. Now they are fighting on two fronts. They are going all the way to the east of the sea, attacking the kingdom of Yamatai, and attacking Xuzhou all the way. In the eyes."

"Then call him."

"I trust General Zang Ba."

"I first regained Shangdang and Hanoi, and then went south to fight Liu Feng to the death in the Central Plains."

"Here."

Cao Cao is still as decisive as before, but unfortunately, now he has no mastermind.

Xi Zhicai in the past, and Guo Jia later, are both first-class counselors in the world, not inferior to Wolongfengchu.

now……

Cao Cao glanced at Sima Yi, who had been a little lonely after the defeat.

"Sima Yi, I will give you two choices. One is to follow Cao Pi to the north and attack Goguryeo; the other is to go to Taiyuan County and attack Shangdang."

Sima Yi clasped his fists slightly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Taiyuan County. After I arrive, within ten days, I will break through this county."

"Okay." Cao Cao laughed, "Shangdang has [-] white horse followers under Zhao Yun's command, and [-] defenders. Sima Yi, if you can make meritorious service, I will give you the title of Marquis of Anguo Township, Servant, and General of the Western Conqueror." .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sima Yi left and marched north along Huguan with the [-]-horse infantry that Cao Cao had given him.

Cao Wei was able to defend the huge Hebei because Huguan was still in their hands.

With Huguan, you can appear anywhere between Shangdang and Taiyuan County at any time.

At this moment in Yecheng, the prefect of Hanoi
"Cao Jun retreated, General." Gao Xiang came over with a knife.

"I didn't retreat, I just went back to prepare the stone bombs for the catapult." Wei Yan's face was serious, "Now the people in the city are in panic, and the secret guards and Cao Jun's spies are fighting together."

"Our army lost more than 2 troops in just ten days, and there were no less than [-] casualties outside the city, but Cao Cao insisted on taking Yecheng back." Wei Yan frowned, "This city is afraid I can't keep it."

Gao Xiang was stunned, his own general was better than the five tiger generals, why couldn't he guard the city gate?
"Report..."

At this time, a messenger quickly rushed up the city wall, came to Wei Yan and knelt down on one knee.

"Report to the general, there is an urgent document from His Royal Highness, one thousand six hundred miles away."

"Look, it's here." Wei Yan glanced at Gao Xiang with a smile, and took it casually.

"His Royal Highness ordered me to withdraw from Ye City. Now all the 11 people and soldiers in Hanoi have crossed the south of the river. His Royal Highness means to give up this large area and withdraw to the Central Plains."

"Our army is resting in Luoyang."

Gao Xiang frowned slightly, "But if our army withdraws like this, wouldn't General Zhao Zilong be helpless in Shangdang?"

"Zhao Yun?"

"He withdrew a long time ago. He has [-] white horses under his command, and they come and go like the wind. Even the Huns cavalry are not as fast as him."

"Shangdang County is not a place to guard for a long time."

"Besides, our army has Hedong County and Shang County, why not just retreat and let Cao Jun continue to advance?"

"Now the more than 20 soldiers and civilians of the Shangdang have withdrawn to Hedong County. Gaoxiang, the Jiangdong battle of our army's dominance of the world is over. I heard that His Royal Highness has sealed more than [-] Guanneihou, Xianghou and Tinghou. , the five tiger generals who went to battle, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong, each of them added hundreds of households, don't you feel tempted?"

Gao Xiang narrowed his eyes, "The general is saying that the decisive battle between our army and Cao Cao will be on our Sizhou side?"

"No." Wei Yan shook his head, "Still in the Central Plains."

"Then why did the general say that I have the best chance?"

"That's because the army is fighting in the Central Plains, and you and I can drive straight in."

"Not to mention anything else, this Bingzhou will definitely fall into the hands of you and me."

"Recovering Liangzhou, Zhang Ren will be canonized as a township lord. Tell me, can this general also get a township lord to do it?"

Gao Xiang clasped his fists slightly, "The last general is willing to follow the general, no matter what."

"Okay, you and I are all loyal to His Royal Highness, as long as you are willing to fight bravely and become a marquis and worship general, it will be a matter of time." Wei Yan laughed loudly, "The order is to rebel on time tonight. When retreating, There is no need to burn down the city to ignite the firewood in the city, but don't let Cao Jun cover up and kill later."

"Here."

In the evening, Wei Yan took more than 1 remnants of the army and withdrew to Liyang Ferry, where he joined the Yellow River Navy to meet here, and hurried south to Chenliu County.

On the [-]th, Zhao Yun hurried south with [-] to [-] troops, abandoned Shangdang County, and withdrew to Hedong County.

On the [-]th, Zhang Ren, who received the order, commanded the [-] troops of the Liangzhou Army and rushed to Shangjun to guard.

On the [-]th, Wei Yan withdrew to Luoyang.

For a time, the three armies of Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, and Wei Yan, totaling 12, were lined up beside the Yellow River, staring at Cao Cao's 10,000+ horse infantry from the west.

After hearing the news, Cao Cao, who had already re-entered Yecheng, made a long case.

"The Shu army's barrier has been completed, and it is time to fight us."
