Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

"choke!"

Xiahou Dun pulled out his sword fiercely, put it on the neck of the soldier who came to deliver the order, and asked sharply, "Tell me, are you a spy sent by Lu and Zhang?"

The soldier didn't panic, and asked back: "Master Taishou, before the Lord's army goes out, there is an explanation. Everything is under the arrangement of Master Xun. Has the Lord Taishou forgotten?!"

"Yeah!" Xiahou Dun rolled his eyes, he couldn't decide to pay attention for a while, he was not afraid of being defeated and punished, but worried that if he got caught, he would have no face to face Cao Cao.

"Report!!! There are tens of thousands of troops in the direction of Chenliu, and they are rushing towards Dongjun." Suddenly a soldier ran into the house and said in a panic, bowing down.

Shocked, Xiahoudun quickly withdrew his sword and asked, "Can you see whose flag it is playing?"

"Lv, who fought for the commander-in-chief's flag, and the rest of the flags are innumerable, and his subordinates have not seen clearly." The soldier quickly said everything he had found out.

"Report!!! Baima, Weiguo and other counties have found dozens of troops and are encircling Puyang!" At this moment, another soldier ran into the house in a panic.

Looking at the news that kept coming in, Xiahou Dun hesitated no longer, and quickly ordered the army to assemble, and then led more than [-] soldiers in the city, and hurried back to Jiyin County.

When Xiahou Dun led the army to Dong'e and Fan counties, they were intercepted by Cheng Yu, and then the two occupied a city each, handing over the remaining 6000 troops to the deputy general and rushing to Juancheng.

And following the envoys sent by Zhang Miao and the army that set off, dissidents from all over Yanzhou occupied the counties and counties one after another to respond.

All of a sudden, the flames of war quickly spread in Yanzhou, and the army led by Lü Bu also marched forward triumphantly. All the cities they passed along the way were greeted with openings, and within a few days, they were approaching Dong'e and Fan counties.

Under Dong'e City, Lu Bu was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd and riding a red rabbit horse on his crotch, yelling majestically and cursing under the city.

"Xiahou Pifu, quickly open the city gate and surrender, otherwise the city will be broken..."

But no matter how Lu Bu insulted him, Xiahoudun in the city didn't seem to hear him, he just didn't come out to answer, and he didn't go out of the city to fight.

After insulting for a while, seeing that there was no response from the city, Lu Bu could only pull back his horse and order the army to attack the city.

With one order, thousands of troops swarmed up and surrounded the three gates to attack desperately.

But at the end of the day, there was no progress at all. Instead, nearly a thousand casualties were in vain, and the spirit of winning streak was lost.

When night came, Lu Bu summoned all the generals under his command to discuss the plan to attack the city, but they were all warriors, and they couldn't think of any other way except to attack by force.

Lu Bu scanned the people in the tent back and forth with his eyes, and then asked Xu Si who was following the march on the right side: "Sir, can you count in seconds and help Bu take the city?"

Xu Si clasped his hands slightly and replied: "When you return to the temperature, there is no second meter, but there is a trick, which can help the temperature to break through the current situation."

"Oh, what's the plan, tell me quickly, sir!" Lu Bu was overjoyed, and asked quickly.

Xu Si said slowly: "Since this city is difficult to break, why don't Wen Hou go straight to Juancheng, and then go back and capture the two isolated cities."

"This plan is feasible." Lu Bu replied in agreement, and then asked worriedly: "There is still something wrong. If a large army goes to attack Juancheng, and the tail is attacked by soldiers and horses from the two cities, it will not be worth the loss."

Xu Si had thought about it for a long time. Hearing Lu Bu's question, he said confidently: "Wenhou can leave a soldier and horse as an ambush. It is enough to ensure the safety of the rear."

"Well, good, since that's the case, the army will leave tomorrow." With the method of breaking the city, Lu Bu happily agreed.

After arranging everything, Lu Bu sent someone to inform Zhang Liao who was besieging Fancheng, and asked him to leave a soldier and lead the rest of the army to join Juancheng.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu led the army and left quietly, leaving behind Cheng Lian with [-] soldiers and horses, ambush on the dangerous road, and intercepted and killed the defenders of Dong'e.

Two days later.

Lu Bu joined Zhang Liao's troops and commanded an army of [-] to besiege and attack the city from all sides, but Xun Yu had prepared for a long time and was not afraid at all.

After three consecutive days of attack, the city remained motionless, and the army led by Lu Bu suffered a lot of losses.

Seeing that he was blocked under the city, Lu Bu was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to lead the army to attack the city himself.

With the addition of Lu Bu himself, it did play some role. The morale of the siege army was greatly boosted, and they climbed up the tower in half a day, fighting hard with the defenders in the city.

But just when the siege was making some progress, Zhang Liao, who was supervising the battle in the rear, suddenly asked Jin to withdraw his troops.

Lv Bu, who was commanding the siege, was very angry when he heard Jin Sheng, but the soldiers had already retreated, and there was nothing he could do.

Angrily retreating to the front of the formation, Lu Bu found Zhang Liao and asked angrily, "Why did Wen Yuan call for gold when the city was about to be destroyed?"

Zhang Liao replied helplessly: "Hey! Fengxian, the ambush in the rear was ambushed instead, and they have already been defeated. The defenders of Dong'a and Fancheng are not far away from our army."

"Damn it!" Lu Bu cursed angrily, gathered a large army and rushed to the rear, ready to kill the enemy who ruined a good thing.

But when he led the army to kill, Cheng Yu and others who got the news had already led the army to retreat.

This left Lu Bu with nowhere to wave his angry fists, so he could only greet Cheng Yu and his relatives with words.

Chapter 297

Relying on the only three remaining cities, Xun Yu made Lu Bu's army unable to take him for a while, so he could only helplessly work under the city.

And Cao Cao set off from Rencheng, captured Pengcheng and Donghai in Xuzhou all the way, and then divided into three groups, attacking Guangling, Xiapi, and Langye at the same time, preparing to swallow Xuzhou quickly.

But just under Xiapi City, Cao Cao met his opponent, and it was difficult to break through for a while.

In Cao Ying's tent, Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he complained to the sallow-skinned man beside him, "Hey! Zhicai, the three Liu Bei brothers are really difficult to deal with. It seems that it will take some time."

It turned out that the sallow man was Cao Cao's highly valued counselor Xi Zhicai, and he was also a military advisor accompanying the army in this battle.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, adding a tinge of blood to his sallow face. "My lord, don't worry, there are only three counties left in Xuzhou, the rest have fallen into our army's hands, and Xiapi City will be destroyed within three days."

"Well!" Cao Cao put away some complaints, but he was still a little unhappy. He sighed and said, "Now Huiyi has more than two states, but I, Cao Cao, are still trapped in Yanzhou. I have to be anxious!"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he disapproved and said: "Although Li Huiyi has many cities, they are not as rich as those under the Lord's rule, and the population is also incomparable."

"Furthermore, if the lord wins Xuzhou, it means closing the gate to the north. Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and his like can only fight Li Huiyi to the death, regardless of the outcome.

As Xi Zhicai said, how could Cao Cao not understand, it was just that he was blocked here and was troubled.

After some analysis and persuasion, Cao Cao felt a lot more comfortable, and said inadvertently, "If Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and his like, it would be great to be in Cao Ying!"

When Xi Zhicai heard it, he didn't know why Cao Cao complained, so he shook his head and said, "Master, although these two are fierce, they are not easy to subdue."

"Then subdue Liu Bei first, Cao Cao won't believe it, these two will not surrender yet." Cao Cao said domineeringly and proudly.

Xi Zhicai shook his head and replied: "Liu Bei has a different heart, and he will not stay under others for a long time. Even if he is captured and surrendered, he will definitely turn against him in the future."

"My lord! Lord Xun of Yanzhou sent urgent documents!" Cao Cao was about to say something, when suddenly an anxious voice came from outside the tent.

Hearing the urgent document, Cao Cao was startled. Did something serious happen to Yanzhou? "come on in!"

After the voice fell, a soldier quickly entered the tent and handed the silk cloth to Cao Cao. "My lord, Zhang Miao welcomes Lu Bu into Yanzhou. Lord Xun asks my lord to lead the troops back quickly."

"What!?" Cao Cao looked disbelieving, quickly stood up and grabbed the silk cloth, opened it for a look, his face showed a trace of paleness, and then was covered by anger.

Throwing the silk cloth on the ground, Cao Cao yelled, "Zhang Miao, you poor man! It is in vain that Cao Cao regards him as a friend who died, and even took advantage of our army to go out and occupy Yanzhou with outsiders. You should be damned! You poor man!"
