The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 999 Zhao Yun's Consideration
After two months of preparation, Zhang Yu's soldiers, horses and generals were all mobilized.

At this time, Sun Ce had no intention of attacking Zhang Yu. Sun Ce was fighting Cai Hao in the west and could not care about this side.

Zhang Yu and Cao Cao are ready.

Zhang Yu did not go to the western front himself, but handed it over to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Yu was still in New Peiping, and he was studying with the cabinet that day.

"My lord, we will attack on the western front first, and launch the eastern front half a month later, making Cao Cao exhausted."

Today, the troops on the eastern front have not yet been fully assembled. Premature assembly will expose Zhang Yu and their goals.

"Okay, the king immediately ordered Wen Yuan to attack."

Zhang Yu agreed to the plan and ordered Zhang Liao to attack.

On Zhang Liao's side, there will be Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and a bunch of young generals.

Placing Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong there was also to attract Cao Cao's attention and make them believe that they were going to attack there.

At the same time, Tai Shici harassed near Yecheng, which also attracted Cao Cao's attention.

Cao Cao was in a state of desperation. At this time, he didn't know how much the western front operation had affected them until he personally asked about the logistics.

Basically, Cao Cao's territory has entered a state of stagnant development.

A large number of civilians were recruited, and their money and food were used for the war.

At this time, Cao Cao couldn't even offer rewards to the soldiers.

After Zhang Yu ordered the attack, it was fully operational, and a large amount of support continued to be transported to the western front.

The next day, Xi Zhicai came to Zhang Yu and said, "Master, we can persuade Mr. Yuan's family to cooperate with us in counterattacking Cao Cao."

"The Yuan family?"

Zhang Yu asked, if the Yuan family is like this now, do they still dare to attack Cao Cao?
But Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, the Yuan family still has hundreds of thousands of troops. They are obviously unwilling to lose so much land, and they are thinking about fighting back. We should not refuse to cooperate with them at this time."

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "You can try this matter. This king wants you to go to Changshan County to plan this matter and help Wenyuan at the same time."

Xi Zhicai agreed immediately.

Zhang Yu said again: "Safety comes first, don't take any risks."

Xi Zhicai went to prepare and set off in two days.

A few days later, Zhang Liao received the news.

In Changshan County, 30 troops have been gathered.

"Han Sheng, you lead [-] heavy cavalry to follow the infantry in the middle."

"Zilong, take [-] light cavalry and harass Cao's rear."

"Huang Xu and other young generals gather [-] cavalry and start from the right."

Zhang Liao began to distribute his troops and set out on several routes.

Each will be ordered to start preparations.

What Zhang Liao wanted to fight was the new city that Cao Cao built there.

The new city has not been built yet, only a prototype has been built, but the city wall is half completed and can be used as a city wall.

General Cao received the news that all the workers and peasants had gone into the city to escape, and no one outside the city continued to build the city there.

Zhang Liao assembled an army of 25 and rushed towards Cao Jun.

General Cao Jun is ready.

The armies are also ready.

Zhang Liao's Chinese army moved slowly and in no hurry. They also brought some siege equipment with them.

After a journey of more than 100 miles, Zhang Liao and the others arrived two days later, and built a camp after arriving.

On the fourth day, Zhang Liao and others finished their preparations and surrounded the unnamed city.

"Wenyuan, their city is only half built, just like ordinary county towns, we can attack by force." Huang Zhong said.

Zhang Liao nodded and said: "Of course, but we are not in a hurry in this battle. We can fight slowly and pay attention to casualties. The key to victory is actually on the outside."

The outside line is Cao Jun's logistics system.

In fact, Cao Cao suffered a loss. This time they have hoarded a large amount of food and grass in the city, which is enough for the army and your civilian husbands to use for half a year.

After Huang Zhong reminded him, Zhang Liao had an idea, so he naturally stopped persuading him.

Zhang Yu's overall strategy, Huang Zhong naturally knew that they would also launch an offensive on the Eastern Front, and they were really not in a hurry for this battle.

Zhang Liao began to arrange, and Cao Jun in the city has been strengthening their defenses.

Xiahou Dun is the main general. He has 16 troops in his hands, which are deployed in the city. At the same time, there are other troops around this area.

Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Yuan are all here.

With the arrival of a new day, Zhang Liao started to attack in a regular manner.

There are three and one missing, and the fight is not intense.

After fighting for a day, both sides lost more than 3000 people each.

Xiahou Dun has been watching the battle from the top of the city.

At night, Zhang Liao and the others withdrew.

Xiahoudun said to Cao Hong and Xiahouyuan: "This Liao is going to besiege us for a long time. When fighting today, they still have a small number of recruits in training."

Yes, after all, these soldiers and horses were recruited in a hurry. Although they were all added to the veterans, the number of new recruits in each army was only about a quarter, but it also affected the combat effectiveness.

So Zhang Liao assigned 2 people to train in the rear every day.

The first day's attack was not intense, and the second day's attack was the same.

Three days passed, maintaining a certain intensity of offense every day.

During the three-day attack, both sides suffered more than 8000 casualties.

In three days, Zhao Yun led his soldiers and horses to go out for more than 200 miles, and searched the area of ​​more than 200 miles.

"It seems that Cao Jun has transported all the food and grass in advance." Zhao Yun made a judgment after searching.

According to previous information, Cao Jun was still transporting grain, grass and other supplies, but at this time their activities have stopped.

This completely proves that Cao Jun has already hoarded a lot of food and grass in the city, and there is no need to transport it in the short term.

Zhao Yun searched for more than 200 miles around, and he was discovered a long time ago. Someone was staring at Zhao Yun.

However, Zhao Yun led the light cavalry, who came and went quickly, and often escaped their surveillance, so they could only search based on the traces.

Zhao Yun jumped to the outside line to attack Cao Jun, but after three days, there was no target.

Zhao Yun hid in a dense forest to study the map.

"The Cao army around has all retreated, and my [-] soldiers and horses have no effect in a short time."

Zhao Yun tapped the map lightly, with a piece of grass in his mouth, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Just leave the battlefield and give a blow to Cao Jun in other places."

The reason why Changshan County is important is that they are on the western front and are adjacent to six counties, four of which are Cao Cao's territory.

Occupying here, you can attack from several directions, so Cao Cao cares so much.

"If I have [-] light cavalry, if I bring enough food and grass, it will not be a problem to attack thousands of miles away. Using [-] cavalry to threaten them in one direction, forcing them to step up their rear, can completely disrupt their arrangement." Zhao Yun looked at the map and analyzed.

He thought of two directions, one is to attack Julu County with Qingqi, but this Julu is the essence of Jizhou, and the city is so tall that it is impossible to take it down.

The second is to attack the country of Zhao in the southeast, making Cao Jun, who is fighting, feel that the back road may be cut off at any time.
