The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 246

Yue Fei confronted Lu Bu in Zhaojun, and Xu Huang and Tai Shici confronted Yu Chigong in Changshan. The two sides fell into a stalemate, and it was not easy to decide the winner.

Almost at the same time, Cao Cao in the south did advance rapidly. Yuzhou is one of the rare states without a prince sitting in town. Cao Cao originally only occupied two counties in it. Either fight with the opponent, no one has extra energy to manage Yuzhou.

This time, it was Cao Cao's opportunity. Yuan Shao had already been defeated, and Lu Bu could only hold on to Bingzhou and Youzhou, and was not aggressive enough. Liu Xiao was restrained by Liu Bei in Jiangdong, and it was the best time for Cao Cao to take Yuzhou. .

In just over half a month, Cao Jun conquered four counties in a row, only a stone's throw away from Chengyang County and Langya County.

Come to help Zhang He and Cheng Yaojin lead [-] troops, stationed in Chengyang County, and wait in full force at the border between Qingzhou and Yuzhou. They dare not be careless. As for Xun Yu, they also dare not act rashly now. Road, Xiahou Dun Xiahouyuan in the north, led [-] elites to attack the city, not far from Qingzhou City, if even Xun Yu left Qingzhou City, once Cao Jun went north to attack Qingzhou City, that would be the deadliest threat.

As for Liu Xiao now, he has also received information from Xuzhou.

Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, who were in Xuzhou, heard the news of Cao Cao's march into Yuzhou, and immediately sent messengers to Liu Xiao, traveling day and night to Lujiang to deliver the letter.

In the handsome tent, Liu Xiao's face was gloomy. Cao Cao actually chose to attack Yuzhou at this time. This time was really a thief. Yue Fei was far away in Jizhou, and he was far away in Jiangdong. It can be said that the junction of Qingzhou and Xuzhou , is his most fatal weakness. It is located at an important point, connecting the north and the south, and has not yet led the army to sit in the town. Once Cao Cao's troops advance eastward and take Yuzhou, they will continue to attack Chengyang County and Langya County, let alone take it. Even if one of the two counties is captured, the connection between Xuzhou and Qingji will be completely cut off, and it will be difficult to care about each other from beginning to end!

"My lord, this Xu Yuanzhi is really powerful. He defeated our army with his backhand. I don't believe that Cao Cao sent troops at this time without the instigation of Liu Biao and Liu Bei!"

Xun You also looked ugly and said in a harsh voice.

Liu Xiao took a long breath and replied: "It may not be Xu Shu's idea. I have just received the reward from the scout. Through Xu Shu, Liu Bei has already found out about the famous scholar Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan in Jingxiang. This person is even more talented than Xu Shu, and even I don’t know if I can figure out the key to this, and the only one who can unite vertically and horizontally is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.”

Although Liu Xiao is not a fan of history, he also knows the saying that Fulongfengxiao can secure the world. Zhuge Liang's literary and military strategies are rare in the world; The common feature of the two people is that they have an extraordinary view of the overall situation, and they have a clear understanding of the general situation of the world, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"My lord, Cao Cao has a profound strategy. Both Cheng Yu and Jia Xu under his command were top-notch figures at the time, and his subordinates were like clouds. If he really wants to attack Chengyang and Langya counties, I'm afraid there will be no one in Qingzhou and Xuzhou." I can compete..."

Xun You said worriedly.

Liu Xiao nodded and replied: "Chen Deng and Mi Zhu in Xuzhou will never be able to stop Cao Cao. However, Pengju is located in Yecheng, not far from Qingzhou. Once Cao Cao attacks Chengyang County and Langya County, Yue Fei will definitely lead With Yue Fei present, it will not be so easy for Cao Cao to take Chengyang and Langya counties, let alone Wenruo in Qingzhou."

Just after Liu Xiao finished speaking, a pawn ran all the way into the handsome tent and knelt down on the ground.

"Report!"

The pawn said anxiously: "My lord, the Hongling messenger sent by Master Chen Deng has already arrived outside the gate of the camp!"

Red Ling Messenger!

It's the Red Ling Messenger again!

Liu Xiao was taken aback. He had just received Chen Deng's request for help, why did he send a Hongling messenger right after that?Has the situation in Huaibei changed drastically?
Liu Xiao shouted, "Order the messenger to come in immediately!"

As soon as the voice fell, the messenger had already walked into the handsome tent.

"My lord, I am here to ask for help under the orders of Mr. Chen who is staying behind!"

While speaking, the messenger handed a letter to Liu Xiao.

Liu Xiao tore open the waxed lacquer cover, and two pieces of plain paper fell out, one was written by Yue Fei, and the other was written by Chen Deng.

Liu Xiao read the document quickly, and silently handed the document to Xun You, but the anger in his eyes was about to burst out.

Outrageous!

At this critical moment, Lu Bu stabbed himself in the back and led You and Jingqi to attack Jizhou. Zhao County fell and Changshan County was in danger. If Yue Fei hadn't sent troops in time, the counties in the west of Jizhou might have been exhausted. It fell into Lu Bu's hands!
"Lu Bu! If I don't kill you, I swear I won't be human!"

Liu Xiao shouted viciously.

After reading the document, Xun You's face changed drastically. If only Cao Cao sent troops, Yue Fei could still lead the soldiers of Qingji to deal with Cao Cao. Even if he couldn't defeat Cao Cao, he could at least be invincible. Well, which side does Yue Fei care about? You can't split Yue Fei in half and use it, right?

"Lord, the situation is critical. We must return to the army. Governor Pengju has been pinned down in Jizhou by Lu Bu. If Cao Cao is determined to capture Chengyang County or Langya County, Zhang He will never be able to defend the two counties!"

Xun You said anxiously.

Liu Xiao's face was gloomy, and he slowly closed his eyes. He was making quick calculations in his mind. To retreat, he must have to retreat, but to give up the six counties in Jiangdong, it was too unacceptable for Liu Xiao. In the end, Liu Bei was allowed to pick up a big bargain. In the end, even Yuzhou was occupied by Cao Cao.

But if you don't retreat, it's not as simple as just losing the six counties in Jiangdong. If Chengyang County and Langya County fall, you will be trapped in Xuzhou. The connection between Qingzhou, Jizhou and Xuzhou is completely cut off. Even if he defeated Liu Bei and took down the six counties in Jiangdong; it is very likely that Cao Cao and Lu Bu will join hands, and Qingzhou and Jizhou may change hands!

Although Yue Fei used soldiers like a god, and Xun Yu strategized, but in the face of the pincer attack of Lv Bu and Cao Cao, it was absolutely impossible to resist. After all, the combined strength of Cao Cao and Lv Bu already exceeded 10!
"Gongda, I'm going to write a letter to Liu Bei, and ask him to go out of the city to talk about it. I am willing to turn hostility into jade, and shake hands with Jingzhou to make peace. In the future, each will guard the territory and not invade each other!"

Liu Xiao said slowly.
