Chapter 254 Entering the Central Plains to Attack and Defend Yanjin
After Sun Can heard the news about Sun Ce, he was not worried about it, and stayed in Wan County for three full days before turning back to Xiangyang.

As soon as Sun Can returned to Xiangyang, he immediately mobilized the frontier defense in the army.He ordered Zangba to assist Chen Deng in guarding Guangling, appointed Xu Shu as the prefect of Jiangxia, and asked General Wenpin to assist him.

As soon as this order came out, Xun He, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others who were worried about Sun Ce were immediately overjoyed, and praised Sun Can for his wisdom and martial arts.

Sun Can's move is based on the method of breaking and attacking.

At this moment, Yuan Cao is fighting happily, and within two years, Cao Cao will definitely be defeated because of Sun Canjun's interference.At that time, there will inevitably be an earth-shattering battle between Sun Can and Yuan Shao.

This battle must be extremely difficult, and Sun Can should not be distracted.Sun Ce is indeed a great talent, and it is not difficult to pacify Jiangdong within a few years.However, with its personality, it is bound to harass Jinghuai from the rear.

However, Sun Can's move just formed a triangle and a half encirclement, besieging Jiangdong.

If Sun Ce raised his troops to attack Jiangxia, the talents of Xu Shu and Wenpin would be enough to resist Sun Ce's offensive.At that time, Zhang Liao in Wan County will definitely send troops to Lingyang and Wanling.It happened that Jiangxia Xu Shu and Wen Pinxing formed a encirclement trend, holding back Sun Ce's army.However, Chen Deng and Zangba in Guangling County would send troops to the south and attack Qu'a and Moling directly when Jiangdong's rear was empty, causing Sun Ce to lose his important rear.

If Sun Ce raised his troops to attack Wan County, then Xu Shu and Chen Deng would divide their troops to attack Sun Ce's Chaisang and Qu'a, which made him exhausted.

In the same way, if Sun Ce attacked Guangling, then Xu Shu and Zhang Liao would also send troops to Jiangdong, making it impossible for Sun Ce to attack a place with all his strength.

In this way, Sun Ce's offensive can be effectively defended.

Of course, it was not Sun Can's actions to only defend but not attack, because he also ordered Xu Shu, Zhang Liao, and Chen Deng to attack Sun Ce at any time if they were in a bad mood.

Such an irregular attack from three sides in turn will inevitably make Sun Ce take care of the east, but not the west. He will be exhausted and unable to expand his territory and manage his territory with peace of mind.

In this way, as long as a small number of troops are used to restrain Sun Ce, Sun Ce can't do much.

As long as you enter the Central Plains and take the strategic initiative, you can let go to deal with Sun Ce.

Of course, if Sun Ce has enough troops, he can also attack from three directions, but the question is how can Sun Ce have such strong capital as Sun Can.Under the interference of Xu Shu, Zhang Liao, and Chen Deng, whether they can unify Jiangdong is still unknown. How can they harass Sun Can?
The battle in the north has also reached a fever pitch.Countless battle reports have been spread to Xiangyang from all over the world, and the silk cloth used to write information can be piled up into a hill.

Although Sun Can and the others never leave Jingzhou, all major events in the world are on their minds.

Just like Sun Can, Liu Hua, Guo Jia and others' previous assumptions.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were brave but lacking in resourcefulness. They were no match for Yu Jin and Cao Ren in terms of military strategy. Baima and Yanjin were unable to attack for a long time.

In the end, Yuan Shao was so angry that he revoked Yan Liang and Wen Chou's vanguard positions.After Liu Bei's recommendation, Yuan Shao asked Guan Yu and Zhang Yun to replace them.

Within a month, Guan Yu dismantled Yu Jin's defensive line with a strong offensive and successfully conquered Yanjin.

Cao Cao personally led the army and wanted to regain Yanjin, but Guan Yu couldn't stick to it. No matter what Cao Cao tried to do, Guan Yu ignored him and kept Yanjin as stable as Mount Tai.

Cao Cao was unable to attack for a long time, and retreated thirty miles.

Jian'an five years, March [-]th.

Zhang He also captured Cao Ren's White Horse defense line and occupied the White Horse Fortress.Unexpectedly, Xia Houyuan suddenly descended from the sky, defeating Zhang Yun, and fled in despair.

The battle between Cao and Yuan still ended in a stalemate.

Guan Yu, who was strictly guarding the mouth of Yanjin, was standing on the city tower. A gust of spring breeze blew by, and he felt a little cold. The weather was getting colder every day.

Although spring has entered, the wind is extremely strong and the water vapor is heavy on the banks of the Yellow River, so the weather is still extremely cold.

At this time, looking at the red horizon in the distance, I must be worried about me, but I don't know if my brother really fell into the trick of Cao Cao, a national traitor, and sent troops to rescue?

A month ago, Cao Cao's attack was repulsed by Guan Yu again, so he gave up the idea of ​​​​attacking Yanjin. He sent a large army to station in the south of Yanjin, cutting off Guan Yu's back, and spread Yanjin to be attacked. Guan Yu The false news of the award was intended to lure Yuan Shaojun to cross the river and attack.

Guan Yu asked Tan Ma to report many times, but no one could break through Cao Cao's encirclement line.

A few days ago, Cao Cao suddenly hung a head outside the camp, causing the soldiers to shout loudly: "Here is the head of Liu Bei's dog, here is the head of Liu Bei's dog!"

Guan Yu looked at the faintly visible head in the north with a solemn expression, unable to tell whether it was real or fake.

Before leaving, Mr. Tian Yu repeatedly told him that if he hadn't seen Yuan Shao's army with his own eyes, he must never open the city gate or attack.Because, nine times out of ten, Cao Cao would counterattack by luring the enemy: deliberately mobilizing the main force to rob the village, cutting off the connection between Yuan Jun and our army, and deliberately pretending to be defeated to lure himself into battle.Therefore, apart from defending the city, I must not participate in any military operations.Although I am not the main force to stop Cao Cao, the burden on my shoulders is heavier than that of the main force to kill the enemy.

Since Mr. Tian Yu assisted him in capturing Yanjin and went to assist Liu Bei.Guan Yu didn't dare to be careless. He inspected the 23 watchtowers inside and outside the fort one by one, repaired the outer fences, and personally inspected all the military equipment in the army.All the places that can be thought of and the places that need to be checked, he has done it meticulously.Moreover, it also strictly supervises the training of soldiers.

Guan Yu was not such a meticulous person in the past. Although he was well-known for strategies and strategies, he was somewhat arrogant by nature. He believed that the so-called heroes were nothing more than elder brothers, and there were few people in the world who could compare with him.Therefore, when dealing with things, I always focus on myself and ignore other people's opinions.

However, since Sun Can was defeated several times in Jingzhou, great changes have taken place in him. He can still be proud of the world with his martial arts, but he has become more cautious in his actions. He must first try his best to be considerate in everything, and he also knows how to listen to other people's opinions and not to go his own way. .

The sky gradually dimmed, and Guan Yu had been standing for several hours.

"Father, it's getting late at night, let the child watch in the middle of the night!" A slightly childish voice came from behind Guan Yu.

Guan Ping, his adopted son, Guan Yu turned his head and looked at Guan Ping, who was standing upright like a green pine, with a slight look of joy on the corner of his mouth. No matter how dangerous the juncture, this adopted son who was more than his own son would follow him. He fought side by side.Accepting Guan Ping as his adoptive son was one of the most correct things he did in his life.

"Be careful!" Guan Yu is not good at talking, and a short sentence is enough to express his love for Guan Ping.

Just as he turned his head and was about to go downstairs, the corner of his eye glanced around inadvertently, as if something was wrong.Guan Yu frowned, walked quickly to the front of the city wall and looked around again. His eyes were dumbfounded when he saw this, and hundreds of huge black shadows, large and small, appeared on the wide official road in the distance. Charge here at an unhurried speed!
"What is that?" Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, wanting to look carefully before making a judgment.

"Like a team of monsters!" Guan Ping replied.

The large black object in the distance is indeed a monster with a huge mouth open.

As the dark objects got closer and closer, Guan Yu became more and more uneasy, and ordered the soldiers to beat drums to prepare for battle.With the sound of the ear-splitting drums, the whole of Yanjin suddenly moved. Although there was still no noise, the torches were lit one after another.

At this time, the lights above and below the fortress were brightly lit, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

"Throw!" Guan Yu gave an order, and countless torches flew towards the bottom of the fortress, and the light of the fire showed the clear appearance of these "monsters". But the structure is far more complicated than that of the stone car, and it is very huge. There are many figures behind the "monster", obviously all soldiers of Cao Cao's army!

Guan Yu immediately summoned archers and waited for the opponent to come into range.

Under the light of the torches, Cao Jun had nowhere to hide, but they did not speed up the pace of attack, but still dawdled, and did not pay attention to the archers on the Yanjin Fortress.

After reaching a certain distance, Guan Yu quietly watched what tricks the opponent was planning to play, because after walking more than fifty steps, Cao Jun would enter his range, and what would greet them at that time would be a rain of arrows like wasps all over the sky.

However, what happened next left him dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe his eyes: those Cao soldiers didn't come into their range, and they were playing with those huge "monsters" aside.

Guan Yu vaguely guessed the usefulness of those things in his heart, but he was still not sure.

At this time, a huge boulder flew from the north and hit the front where Guan Yu was!There was an exclamation in the fortress, and there was a mess.

In the smog, Guan Yu coughed and thought of countermeasures.

Guan Yu spat out the dust that splashed into his mouth, secretly surprised: This Yanjin was built by Cao Cao to prevent Yuan Shao's army from going south, and it is extremely strong.There are stone walls inlaid on the outside, and 23 watchtowers inside.Diaolou and Diaolou echo each other at a distance, making it extremely difficult to break through.He once relied on the watchtowers to make Cao Cao's army repeatedly frustrated and retreated in disastrous defeat.Grain and grass were stored under the watchtower. At that time, when he broke through Yanjin by surprise, the general guard did not have time to burn the grain. In addition to the large amount of grain he brought, it was enough to feed himself for about half a year. Nothing goes wrong.It's just that Cao Cao failed to attack the fortress several times, but he actually built such a powerful siege machine to deal with him.
