The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 347 Big Trouble

Xu all.

Cheng Yu led the remnants of the defeated generals and fled all the way back. They were in extreme embarrassment. It was not until they saw Zhang Liao that Cheng Yu, Cao Hong, and Yu Chi Gong finally felt relieved. They were finally safe.

Zhang Liao looked at Cheng Yu and Cao Hong on the opposite side, feeling helpless. The enemy's situation had long been sent back by the spies he sent. In this battle, his side lost so miserably. It was simply too miserable to watch. Look at Cao Hong in front of him. You know, how can Cao Hong still have the demeanor of a generation of famous generals today?

Cao Hong's eye sockets were sunken, and there was an obvious groove of blood on his cheek. The scar had just formed, and there were blisters on his lips. This was a sign of impatience. None, this suit of armor was obviously taken from the elite soldiers under his command, with Cao Hong's burly figure, he couldn't wear it at all!
Let’s look at the army behind a few people. At the time of the expedition, there were 7000 elite troops, plus the garrison in Bingzhou, there were no less than [-] troops. Counting the troops led by Cheng Yu himself in Chen Liucheng, it's too miserable!
"Zhongde, Zilian, how, how could there be such a fiasco!"

Although Zhang Liao thought that he would lose miserably, he still couldn't help being shocked when he saw these people. He really couldn't figure it out. It's really incomprehensible that you can lose so badly even if you bring it with you!
Cheng Yu was lucky enough to say that Cao Hong's face was as red as an eggplant. It was a shame that the war committee lost. Ever since he joined the army with the lord, has he ever suffered such a miserable defeat?The [-] elites were beaten to pieces by Liu Xiao's thousands of soldiers who stayed behind in Ye City. They were so embarrassing that they didn't even have the face to face others!

"Wenyuan, alas..."

Cao Hong punched his fist bitterly, and said in a shy voice: "It's hard to say. I have been in the army for more than ten years, and I have suffered such a disastrous defeat. Even Mr. Xi Zhicai has killed himself. I, I really have no face to see you again, my lord." Ah..."

Zhang Liao patted Cao Hong on the shoulder again to show comfort, and said warmly: "Okay, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Mr. Zhicai followed, but he suffered such a disastrous defeat. It can be seen that this defeat is not the fault of the general. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. At worst, we will come back for revenge some other day!"

Cheng Yu smiled wryly and said: "Wen Yuan, don't talk about this, what we have to do now is to deploy defenses immediately. Once Liu Xiao takes Chenliu County, it won't be long before he will move his army south to Xudu. After all, we must keep Liu Xiao's main force out of Xudu, once Liu Xiao's soldiers encircle Xudu, then we will lose all the initiative!"

Zhang Liao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhongde, I have already stationed all my troops in this area, along the mountain peaks on both sides, defending according to the danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, behind us is the Yellow River Ferry, Liu Xiao If we want to cross the Yellow River, we must seize the ferry from here in order to attack Xudu. For us, it is a desperate fight, but for Liu Xiao, this is a thunder pond, and even with thousands of troops, it is difficult for him to cross the thunder pond!"

Zhang Liao is indeed the number one general under Cao Cao's command. The deployment of Xudu's defense line can be said to be absolutely brilliant. He defended according to danger, and still blocked the Yellow River ferry. To get off the ferry, one has to go back two or three hundred miles to find a new ferry to cross the river. It is impossible to reach Xudu in more than a day. This is still in the case of not encountering any obstruction. Once encountering other obstructions, it will be even more unpredictable.

Cheng Yu followed Zhang Liao to the commander's tent, looked at Zhang Liao's defense map, and his chest finally calmed down. There were five camps on five hills, and one camp in the middle was used as a mobile force to guard the Yellow River ferry behind. It's so impermeable to the wind and rain, it's really a one-man guard, and ten thousand men can't open it.

Yuchi Gong said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhongde, General Zilian, and General Wenyuan's deployment has won the elite military strategists. With the 2 troops brought by the generals, plus the troops brought by us, more than [-] troops, According to the danger, even if Liu Xiao is scheming, even if Gao Chong is brave and invincible, it is impossible to take our position in a short time, it is really solid!"

Cheng Yu glanced at Yu Chigong, and said coldly: "Jingde, don't forget, we also had nearly [-] troops in Chenliu County, the city of Chenliu County is strong, there are countless food and grass, and there are more than [-] people in the city to help Compared with this place, it is only strong but not weak, so why not lose it? Underestimating one’s enemies is tantamount to punishing oneself, not to mention our opponents are Liu Xiao and Gao Chong?”

Yu Chigong's face turned red, it was all his own fault, if he hadn't fallen for a trick to lure the enemy, he wouldn't have lost Chenliu so easily, if Chenliu was here, why would he be so passive?
Cao Hong smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhongde, what's the use of talking about this now, all we can do now is to defend this place, and at the same time send people to look for Ziwen. Beloved, if Ziwen dies, we..."

Cheng Yu was startled, what Cao Hong said was, Yu Gong, Cao Zhang is as brave as Xu Chu, he can be said to be the leader of the generals under the lord's command, and at a young age, he will definitely be the mainstay of the Cao family's great cause in the future; , that is also one of the lord's most beloved heirs. Once Ziwen is really killed, it will really be a leaky house and rainy days...

"Don't worry, Zilian, I've sent a large number of scouts to search around. What we have to do now is to defend the northern part of Xudu and wait for the Lord's reinforcements to arrive!"

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

Zhang Liao, Cheng Yu, and Cao Hong stood in battle in the northern part of Xudu, waiting for the arrival of Liu Xiao's army. Unfortunately, they were so happy this time. After six or seven days, there was no news of Liu Xiao's army. After all, they came here from Chenliu County. , but only a distance of more than 200 miles, if the army marched in a hurry, four days would be enough to kill them, but there was no movement at all, wouldn't it be strange?

"Zhongde, what trick is Liu Xiao really playing this time?"

Zhang Liao frowned. In his opinion, Liu Xiao used soldiers like a god, and he was a famous general in ancient times. Wouldn't he understand the truth that soldiers are precious and fast?After such a long time, there is still no movement, I'm afraid Liu Xiao has other plans...

Cheng Yu frowned, and suddenly sighed: "Liu Xiao, Liu Xiao, at this time, he is still unwilling to take risks, I'm afraid his intention is not Xu Du, but our east, this time, Yuan Rang and I'm afraid there will be big trouble..."
