King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 919
Xun You's miscalculation led to the defeat of Cao's army, and the arrival of Zhang Yun's reinforcements immediately turned the tide of the battle. In fact, the victory or defeat has already been determined. Xun You knew it in his heart, Xu Shu knew it in his heart, Li Lin knew it in his heart, and even Cao Pi knew it in his heart Come here, but it's like Zhuge Liang's six out of Qishan and Jiang Boyue's nine expeditions to the Central Plains. If you don't fight, you will definitely lose. If you fight, you still have a chance to turn around. Besides, Xun You also wants to do something for Cao Pi in his lifetime …………

"Hey!" Cao Jun, who was being chased all the way, finally withdrew to the Lushan camp. After such a shameful defeat, all the soldiers, including Cao Pi himself, were downcast. In the big tent, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent for a long time.

"Report!" A soldier walked in quickly, knelt down in front of Cao Pi, cupped his hands and said, "Report to my lord, General Zhong Yao is leading the army!"

"Zhong Yao!" Cao Pi murmured. Just as he was about to speak, Mao Jie on the side suddenly became furious and said angrily, "Hmph! Why did you come here so late? If you came earlier, we would have been able to rely on our superior military strength." Annihilate the enemy army! Conquer Xiangcheng!"

What Mao Jie said is true. Although this meeting will be dominated by anti-customers, Wen Ji and Zhang He don't have many soldiers together. If Zhong Yao can arrive sooner, Cao Jun will be caught by relying on his strength. After taking the bait, he still couldn't be beaten so badly by Li Lin's army. Maybe he could still follow the original plan, and by the way, he could defeat Zhang He who came and conquered Xiangcheng. After Yingchuan passed, it was Xuchang.

"This..." The soldier couldn't bear it, bowed his head and said, "Please go out and have a look, my lord and all the generals!"

Looking at the soldiers' expressions, everyone was puzzled. Cao Pi looked at Xun You. Xun You was shocked, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously. He immediately got up and said, "Pi'er! Let's go! Go and see!"

In this way, Cao Pi took everyone out to have a look, and stood there in a daze.

"The defeated army!" These two words popped up in everyone's minds.

Seeing that Zhong Yao's army was already in a state of disarray, one by one the soldiers returned to the camp scatteredly, and after entering the camp, they just settled down lazily, with their eyes glazed over.

At this glance, it was the army that had just been defeated, just like Cao Jun on the side. Everyone was very surprised, and they saw Zhong Yao and his son Zhong Yu walking forward quickly. The faces and armor of the father and son were still dry. Seeing the blood in Cao Pi's shocked eyes, Zhong Yao and Zhong Yu immediately knelt down on the ground, cupped their hands and said, "The final general is unfavorable! I hope the lord will punish him!"

Cao Pi pointed to Zhong Yao and the army he brought back in surprise, and said in surprise: "General Zhong! You are..."

Zhong Yao sighed helplessly: "My lord, the last general led an army to support the lord, but was ambushed by Li Lin's general Zhu Ling on the way, and suffered heavy losses. The last general and his soldiers fought bravely, so they saved their lives and came to meet the lord !"

"Zhu Ling!" Cao Pi muttered, then looked back at Xun You, and said, "Isn't Zhu Ling guarding against Liu Biao in Runan? Why did he suddenly appear here!"

Xun You has now fully figured it out. All of this has long been in Li Lin's calculations. From Li Lin's east tour, offering sacrifices to heaven, to his own and Sun Quan's troops, it is estimated that Li Lin has long been in control. Lin's applause.

Xun You sighed, and said, "Hey... Pi'er! It seems that Li Lin has already made preparations! It is estimated that Liu Biao has already made an agreement with Li Lin and will not pay attention to our war with Li Lin. , that's why Zhu Ling can go north to support Xiangcheng without worrying about Liu Biao's side!"

"Then... so to speak!" Cao Pi looked at Xun You worriedly, and Xun You shook his head helplessly.

"Cao Shuang!" Xun You suddenly called out.

"The last general is here!" Cao Shuang immediately stood up and cupped his hands.

"Tomorrow! You set up a chain of eight golden locks in front of the formation, and cut off the rear for our army!" Xun You shouted.

"No!" Cao Shuang immediately agreed with a stern face.

That's right, Xun You is about to withdraw. Zhu Ling, Zhang He, Wen Ji, who Xun You didn't expect to be so brave, and Xu Shu, who is as resourceful as himself, Xun You knows that he has no chance of winning, so the next To help the defeated army, how to fight again, it is better to retreat and advance, first see the situation clearly.

Three days later, with Zhang Yun as the commander, Zhu Ling and Wen Ji as the left and right vanguards, and Xu Shu as the military adviser, the [-]-strong army came to Cao Jun in a mighty manner, and Cao Shuang had already set up a chain of eight golden locks. , for Cao Jun to end the queen.

Everyone has heard of the eight-door golden lock formation. It was Cao Cao's proud formation during his lifetime. Cao Ren also used it in Hedong, and it was powerful. The chain formation is the 2.0 enhanced version of the eight-door golden lock formation. It has more changes, faster agitation speed, and stronger defense power. Research Xu Shu, even if he improves to 3.0, it is useless, the failure is doomed, and no one can save it. After Xun You sent Cao Shuang out, he just bought time for Cao Pi and others to retreat. Under the iron hoof, if you withdraw your troops, you must be caught up. Yes, you can only sacrifice Cao Shuang in exchange for the preservation of strength. Maybe Cao Shuang had already guessed what Xun You meant when he heard Xun You's order, but he is the Cao family. My son, I must spare no effort to save the Cao family, so Cao Shuang did not hesitate, and agreed to cut off the heir without hesitation...

"Drink! Drink! Drink!" Seeing the Liao army approaching slowly, Cao Shuang tightly held the command flag in his hand, waved it fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Set up the formation!"

The battle between the Cao army and the Liao army was so fast that Cao Pi had almost no power to fight back, and he was beaten out of breath by the Li Lin army who had been prepared for a long time. On the other hand, what about the Jiangdong army allied with Cao Pi?It is still difficult, they are facing much greater pressure than Cao Pi, and now, in Zhou Yu's camp, Zhou Yu and all the soldiers are also because they have discovered that Li Lin's army has already made preparations. And worry about...

"Report to the governor, Li Lin's general Che Zhou led [-] horse infantry to Huai'an!"

"Report to the governor, Zang Ba, Li Lin's general, ordered eight thousand horse infantry to come to Huaiyin!"

"Report to the Governor, General Tai Shici of Qingzhou under Li Lin's command, led an army of [-] to the south!"

The news that shocked Zhou Yu came out from the mouths of the messengers one by one. After hearing this, all the soldiers in the tent took a deep breath.

"Hey!" Zhou Yu slammed his fist on the case in front of him, and the order flag in the jug on the case trembled. Lu Su, who was sitting by the side, said in a low voice, "Don't get angry, Gong Jin! I, Jiangdong! People and horses are powerful, so there is no need to be afraid!"

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, and growled: "Huh! I'm angry because Li Yuanjie is really powerful! He even used himself as a bait, pretending to be on an east tour, in fact, to seduce the lord! The lord is young and vigorous, and he wants to make some achievements. That's right, but seeing that Li Lin is no longer in Luoyang, he rashly cooperated with Cao Pi and sent troops here! Now... now... eh..."

As soon as Lu Su heard Zhou Yu say this, he got up quickly and said, "Gong Jin, don't lie! My lord's intentions are good intentions. How could there be any mistakes? The only plan for now is to attack Xiapi immediately! To shock the army! Then Draw it slowly!"

Zhou Yu shook his head again, looked at the soldiers under his command, hesitated, waved his hands, and said, "You all go down!"

"No!" Everyone was not in a high mood, and they didn't have the heart to listen to Zhou Yu complaining about Sun Quan, although they were a bit rebellious!But who is Zhou Yu and what is his status in the hearts of Jiangdong soldiers, no one dares to say that he is wrong, so they all got up and left.

Zhou Yu immediately returned the things on the case, took the map and spread it out, and said to Lu Su: "Zijing, come and see!"

Lu Su hurried to Zhou Yu's side, poked his neck and looked at the map in front of him, Zhou Yu pointed to a few points on the map and said, "Zijing, look, now our army is marching on two fronts, all the way to Xiapi, and all the way to Xiapi. Marching into the East China Sea, Li Lin's army came in three routes. The [-] troops from Tai Shici's route came straight to our side, and the other two routes diverted to the rear of our army! You are looking here... ..."

"Surabaya!" Lu Su is such a smart person, although he is not very good at marching and arranging strategic offensive and defensive matters, but after Zhou Yu's touch, he immediately understood.

Xuzhou, which is controlled by Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and Li Lin are bounded by Sishui and Baima Lake. When Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to attack Li Lin, Zhou Yu thought that Xuzhou City was tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack. When I came up, I attacked a big city like Xuzhou City, so I changed the route, went north and crossed Sishui, and attacked the two counties behind Xuzhou, Xiapi and Donghai.

Zhou Yu originally thought that if Li Lin found out that his army was dispatched, he would definitely send troops to defend Surabaya. It must be very difficult for him to defeat Surabaya. It was so strict, and the Jiangdong navy was full of little white dragons in the water, so Zhou Yu dispatched elite soldiers to go down to Surabaya at night, lurking all the way to the other side of the river, and then suddenly launched an attack, and captured Li Lin's camp on the north bank of Sishui. Then Zhou Yu's army immediately crossed Surabaya, triumphantly all the way, and hit Xiapi. Seeing that the troops were strong, Zhou Yu divided his troops into two groups, continuing to attack Xiapi all the way, and attacking Donghai Kingdom all the way. The two sides can still echo each other, but Now it seems that it was not Zhou Yu's luck that Zhou Yu crossed Surabaya safely and killed Xiapi. Jiangdong's army was not only a small white dragon on the water, but also a tiger on the way down the mountain. It was Li Lin who deliberately let Zhou Yu's army fight over... ………
