The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 282

"Okay, Yuan Rang, now is definitely not the time for us to fight Liu Xiao to the death!"

Li Dian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty left me to sit in Yuzhou, in order to keep Liu Xiao out of the border of Yuzhou, and guard the east gate for your lord. Now Langya County is lost, Miaocai died in battle, and our army suffered heavy casualties. If there is another decisive battle, once our army suffers another defeat, then Yanzhou and the eastern part of Yuzhou will have no troops to withstand Liu Xiao's advance, and the east of Xudu is in danger of being occupied by Liu Xiao..."

Xiahou Dun suddenly woke up. What Li Dian said was right. Now the lord has brought the main force into Bingzhou and is besieging Bingzhou. He leads a main force to garrison Langya County and Yuzhou, and an elite force is now stationed at Sili to defend the capital. It can be said that Yanzhou and Yuzhou only have their own troops. Once they are defeated, Liu Xiao can go straight in. At that time, they will have to shake the foundation!

"Xiahoujie, immediately lead more than a dozen fine cavalry to escape from the army, return to Xudu quickly, and ask the lord for help, Wen Qian, Mancheng, and I will lead the main force to retreat to Lu County!"

Other places can be lost, but Lu County absolutely cannot. Although Lu County is just a county with a small area, Lu County is the hometown of saints. It connects Yuzhou and Yanzhou from the north to the south. It can be said to be the common gateway between Yanzhou and Yuzhou. , there is absolutely no room for error!

Xiahoudun joined forces with Le Jin and Li Dian, gathered almost 1 troops, turned around, and rushed northwest, preparing to enter Lu County in a detour.

However, before Xiahou Dun had time to lead the army to leave, the cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Xue Rengui arrived first, and launched an attack on Cao Jun again!
Groups of cavalry unscrupulously rushed into Cao Jun's formation, rampaging, raising knives with their hands, like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, Cao Jun was in chaos again, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin and Li Dian fought with all their strength, but they were unable to resist Zhao Yun and Xue Rengui's attack , The army was scattered and fled in all directions.

run!
Xiahoudun understood that only Liu Xiao's vanguard cavalry was catching up now, and there was still a brigade of elite infantry behind him. It's not good now, after this point, he can't run even if he wants to!
The three of them led the remnants of the defeated generals, fought and retreated, and fled in a panic all the way in the direction of Lu County.

After two days, Xiahou Dun finally led the defeated army back to Lu County. However, by the time they arrived in Lu County, the troops under his command had been completely lost. There are already less than 8000 people, and more than [-] soldiers have either died in battle, fled, or become prisoners of the Qingzhou Army.

Back in Lu County, Xiahou Dun gave an order to order the troops of Shanyang, Jiyin and other prefectures to rush to help Lu County.

Although most of these counties do not have many troops, there are still some troops after all. Four or five counties can only barely gather three to five thousand troops, and they are constantly gathering towards Lu County. However, even with the addition of these three to five thousand troops However, Xiahou Dun's troops are not even 5000 strong. Faced with Liu Xiao's [-]-strong army, Xiahou Dun is also helpless. If Liu Xiao uses that magical weapon of the town again to give it to Lu County, then he will do whatever he wants. I can't defend Lu County, and I can only hope for God now, don't let Liu Xiao come out like this, no kind of city defense can hold this thing up all of a sudden...

In less than two days, Liu Xiao led the army to chase all the way to the city of Lu County, and surrounded Lu County.

"Gongjin, next, is there a good plan?"

Liu Xiao asked.

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "My lord, Xiahou Dun and Le Jin Li Dian are both famous generals of Cao Ying. It is impossible to win Lu County..."

Liu Xiao nodded slightly. Although Cao Jun was defeated now, Xiahou Dun and Yue Jin Li Dian were definitely not ordinary people. With the lessons learned from Langya County, Cao Jun was afraid that Cao Jun would be wary of using gunpowder to attack the city again day and night. It was very simple, just need If you light a torch at night and keep one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps to prevent your soldiers from getting close, even if you have gunpowder, it will not be effective. What's more, using gunpowder is too harmful to the peace of the world. If you use it frequently, you are afraid that It will arouse the resentment of the world, and once it is guided by someone with intentions, it will cause big trouble for itself.

"Since we can't capture Lu County in a short time, we might as well use a partial force to force Lu County, and then send out the main force to attack Shanyang County and Pei County. As long as we capture these two counties, Lu County will be defeated by us. Surrounded on three sides, even if Cao Cao leads the main force to help, he can't hope to save Lu County. In this way, all three counties of Lu County, Shanyang Pei County, and Shanyang Pei County will fall into the hands of our army. From Lu County to Langya County and Donghai County, we will have enough In depth, even if we march south again, Cao Cao will never think of cutting off the connection between Jizhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou in a short time!"

Zhou Yu continued.

Liu Xiao smiled and said, "It's exactly what I want! Gong Jin, you personally sit in Lu County and pin down Xiahou Dun's troops in Lu County; Zilong, you and Zhang Xiu led [-] infantry to the north and went straight to Shanyang County. , Take Shanyang within a day; Rengui, you follow me to lead six thousand Qingqi, go straight to Peijun, take Peijun all the way, and completely connect Qingzhou and Xuzhou. When Cao Cao wants to cut off our retreat, Don't even think about it!"

Liu Xiao's plan has been decided, order Zhou Yu to lead [-] troops to besiege Lu County, and he and Zhao Yun each lead a large army, all the way south, all the way north, towards Shanyang County and Pei County.

From Shanyang County to Pei County, plus Lu County, the three armies are exactly the boundary between Cao Cao and Liu Xiao. If the three armies are taken down, Liu Xiao can push his sphere of influence two hundred miles west, and there will be no more The risk of being cut off by Cao Cao.

Now almost all the troops in Yanzhou and Yuzhou have been transferred to Bingzhou or stayed in Lu County. Shanyang and Peijun are almost two empty cities. Kaesong surrendered, there was no other way, and he didn't even have a thousand troops in his hands. How could he defend the city in the face of tens of thousands of troops?
However, within seven or eight days, Shanyang and Peijun changed hands, and the situation in the entire Central Plains changed again!
Bingzhou, now Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to take down Bingzhou City, and he himself led the army to take down Hedong County. Now more than half of the entire Bingzhou territory has fallen into his hands, and the army is approaching Bingzhou City again. The siege of Lu Bu is now under great pressure. After a long time, Bingzhou City is at risk of changing hands.

This time, Lu Bu must be wiped out in one fell swoop, and then the entire Bingzhou will be taken down!
Cao Cao secretly made up his mind that once Lu Bu was defeated, he and Liu Xiao would be the only ones left in the north to compete for the world. The two heroes competed, and the outcome was uncertain, depending on who had the largest territory and the strongest strength!
Victory will eventually belong to me, Cao Cao!
