Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40 Temporarily Tunning Liyang to Huainan

After Zhang Yi returned to Huai County, Yu Jin had already led his troops there.Zhang Yi was promoted to another level, to be a general, and he was promoted to a senior officer.

Shi Huan was also promoted to general of the Chinese army because of this contribution.Together with Zhang Yi, he will go to Liyang to garrison.

Liyang is an important strategic location at the junction of Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou.It is close to Dongjun, west of Puyang, and close to the Yellow River.

This will be Yuan Shao's first place, and keeping here will ensure that Yuan Shao cannot enter Yuzhou.But this place will definitely fall, because Guandu is inevitable in it. Once the battle of Guandu starts, Yuan Shao will definitely capture this place, otherwise there will be no battle of Guandu.

After Zhang Yi arrived in Liyang, he continued to train the soldiers. He would not use all the training methods, at least not now.

He hasn't gained a firm foothold in Cao Cao's camp yet, and after he gains a firm foothold, it won't be too late to take it out.Although he is now General Pi, considered a high-ranking military officer, he still hasn't entered the core of Cao Cao, and he hasn't even met Cao Cao several times.

This may also have something to do with Zhang Yi's identity as a member of the Zhangxiu clan. Cao Cao may think of Zhang Yi's eldest son Cao Ang and the general Dian Wei who died in the first battle of Wancheng when he saw Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi himself was also guilty, and he didn't go to Cao Cao's side, and he would not see Cao Cao if he could not see him.

In June, Cao Cao stationed in Liyang with a large army. Zhang Yi thought it was impossible to see Cao Cao.Because he was General Pi, Zhang Yi was allowed to attend the military meeting.

Counselor Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao's vanguard has reached the other side and is looking for a place to cross the river. Yuan Shao has just defeated Gongsun Zan and wants to take advantage of his great victory to cross the river in one fell swoop."

"Although our army has just defeated Lu Bu and attacked and killed Sui Gu, it is still far behind Yuan Shao in terms of numbers. Therefore, it is not suitable to fight Yuan Shao now. We should guard and defend at various crossings to prevent Yuan's army from crossing the river, sapping his energy and turning the battle into chaos. Put it off until next year.”

"Yuan Shao is self-willed. He wants to succeed in one fell swoop. If he can't get what he wants, he will definitely make a foolish move. When the time comes, our chance will come."

Xun You also said: "Yuan Shao is nothing more than dividing his troops to cross the river. At that time, our army can hold Yuan Shao with a small number of soldiers and horses, and then concentrate the superior force to attack one of his troops and gradually weaken his strength."

Cao Cao nodded, these plans have been discussed many times.He looked at the generals and asked, "What do you think?"

What do the generals think?Zhang Yi was among the crowd, and he admired Guo Jia and Xun You very much in his heart. These two were excellent counsellors, and what they said was all about the battle of Guandu.

Seeing that the generals were silent, Cao Cao ordered: "Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Shi Huan, you three will defend along the river. Don't let Yuan's army cross the river easily."

"As ordered!"

After the three men took the order, Cao Cao looked at the counselors again and said: "Yuan Shu can no longer hold on anymore and wants to go north to Qingzhou to join Yuan Tan. I sent Liu Bei to intercept before, but I didn't expect Liu Bei to kill Che Zhou and occupy Xuzhou. . Now the only one who can intercept Yuan Shu is Langya Zangba. I want to attack Liu Bei, but I wonder if it is possible?"

Guo Jia shook his head gently: "My lord, the time is running out. If you want to attack Liu Bei, you should wait a few more months to paralyze Yuan Shao, and then recruit elite soldiers and generals to capture Liu Bei quickly. Now Liu Bei can only occupy Xiapi, Langxie, and Guangling They are all rebels. We can dispatch a general to intercept Yuan Shu and prevent Liu Bei from attacking Xuchang."

Cao Cao nodded, "I don't know who is suitable to shoot?"

"You should choose an unknown and astute person to go."

Cao Cao looked left and right and asked, "Can anyone recommend it?"

Shi Huan cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the final general recommends General Zhang Yi. General Zhang is very brave. Before beheading Suigu, it was General Zhang who designed an ambush. Jianghuai County was also designed by General Zhang."

When Cao Cao heard the words, he was immediately interested: "Where is Zhang Yi?"

"The end is here!"

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Yi carefully for the first time and felt that he looked familiar, so he asked, "Where have I seen you before?"

Zhang Yi replied: "In Xiapi, the last general, Ablu Bu, met my lord!"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It should be earlier!"

Zhang Yi was startled, could it be that he found out that he was chasing and killing him?

At this time, Cao Chun stood up and said: "Lord, this is the one who breaks through the encirclement!"

Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Yi in surprise, and then said: "Your name is Zhang Yi, are you the same race as Zhang Xiu?"

Zhang Yi lowered his head and said, "It's the same family."

Cao Cao nodded silently after hearing this, and said, "If Zhang Xiu was used by me like you, I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."

Zhang Yi was silent, he didn't know what this hero was thinking.Throughout the Three Kingdoms period, the most difficult people to guess were Cao Cao and Liu Bei, two men who were full of joy and anger.

"Zhang Yi, lead your troops to Huainan immediately, stop Yuan Shu's way to the north, and hold Liu Bei back so that he doesn't cause trouble in Xuzhou."

"The last general takes orders!"

After Zhang Yi finished the salute, he immediately walked out of the hall, summoned his troops to leave the camp, and marched towards Huainan.He didn't want to stay here for a moment for fear that Cao Cao's brain would twitch to kill him.

In fact, Zhang Yi also treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Cao Cao sighed after he left: "Seeing him reminds me of Dian Wei."

On the contrary, a young man beside Cao Cao looked at Zhang Yi's back with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Yi marched to Huainan day and night, and felt Xiaopei in mid-May.Xiaopei is not Xuzhou's territory, but Yuzhou's territory, but after being captured by Tao Qian, it has been under the management of Xuzhou.

This also mentions a public case back then, that is, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou.The cause of this incident was that Cao Cao's father was killed. Tao Qian sent people to send each other off, but he didn't choose the right person.

But in fact?Tao Qian and Cao Cao were not friendly, and the two even had conflicts, and they attacked each other.Well, after discussing Dong, the coalition forces were divided into two forces, one was the alliance of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao, and the other was the alliance of Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, and Tao Qian.

The reason why such an alliance is formed is because everyone knows the principle of making friends at a distance and attacking closely. Among these alliances, only Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are bordering each other.

Someone asked why there is no Sun Jian here, just like the aforementioned Sun Jian is Yuan Shu's thugs and generals, and he doesn't even have his own territory.

To be honest, if Cao Cao had not already owned Dongjun at that time, he would be nothing more than Yuan Shao's thug.

At that time, the world was also a tripartite confrontation, but Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were three, and the others were just vassals. Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, and Liu Biao were just relatively independent.

How powerful was the Yuan family at that time?Yuan Shao easily captured Han Fu's Jizhou, and Yuan Shu easily captured Kong Ni's Yuzhou, which can be seen.
