Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Cao Shuo's four-way army came down to the camp outside Jixian County, and Gongsun Zan sent cavalry to harass, which became a display.

The four villages were less than five miles apart, and they could be seen with the naked eye, so it was impossible to sneak attack.

Gongsun Zan had no choice but to call back the entire army, and could only hope for the attention of Yuan Shao's chariot.

"Guan Jing, how many chariots have we built?"

"My lord, there are only more than 300 people at present!"

Guan Jing invited all the craftsmen in Ji County to come, those who could make carts made carts, and those who couldn't make carts forged shields and halberds.

It took three days to form 320 chariots with four chariots, [-] shields, and [-] long halberds.

Gongsun Zan urged: "Hurry up and forge the shield!"

"promise!"

In Cao Shuo's camp outside the city, he was discussing with several military advisers and generals how to attack the city when a messenger from Xun Yu arrived.

"My lord, an urgent message from Master Xun Yu!"

Cao Shuo took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning. The letter was about the result of Yuan Shao's battle with Zang Ba and Zhang He.

Xun You said: "My lord, this Yuan Shao is a fool. He even put in so much effort to make such an outmoded product as a chariot."

Xi Zhicai said disdainfully: "Don't say he can't keep up with the cavalry, even if he can keep up, the damage to the cavalry is limited. I can break his chariot formation with infantry."

Several generals looked sideways at Xi Zhicai, Xu Huang asked: "Military Master, how do pawns crack the chariot?"

Xi Zhicai regained his composure, and said slowly: "The carriage running at high speed is extremely unstable. Throwing a slightly larger stone at random may cause him to overturn. The shield soldiers had to use shields to create a small slope for him. , his chariot will lose control."

"Gongsun Zan has been back in the city for many days. Presumably, in the next few days, he will lead the army to fight us decisively. We have to think about how to face the next battle and minimize our losses."

After Cao Shuo finished speaking, he scanned all the people in the big tent.

Although he has an army of 10,000+, Gongsun Zan also has an army of nearly [-] in the city. If he fights to the death with the opponent, I am afraid that Lu Bu will win in the end.

Ju Yi said: "My lord, I have a plan, which may reduce our loss."

"What's the plan?" Cao Shuo looked at Ju Yi curiously.

"Most of Gongsun Zan's cavalry are light cavalry. Armor can't protect against crossbow arrows. Why don't we use shields as cover and hide bowmen inside to shoot at close range."

Xu Rong asked puzzledly: "Gongsun Zan is hiding in the city. I don't think he will leave the city in a short time. How can we lure him out?"

"The Yongding River hasn't frozen yet. We can stop the upstream and cut off the water source of Ji County. Gongsun Zan, panicked, will definitely think that we want to trap him in the city to death, and will definitely send an army out of the city."

One hundred thousand troops are hiding in the city. It is okay if they are infantry, but most of these are cavalry, and it is somewhat disadvantageous to participate in the defense of the city.

Cao Shuo ordered: "You two, Sun Jin and Zhang Yi, lead [-] infantry to the upper reaches of the Yongding River, find a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and cut off the river for me."

"promise!"

Xun You looked at the map and said, "My lord, apart from Ji County, there are still two counties in Guangyang County, Guangyang and Cangping that have not been taken. The commanders of the two counties, Gongsun Yue and Tian Kai, are Gongsun Zan's loyal loyalists. Persuading him to surrender will not work. We Are you going to attack by force?"

"storm!"

Cao Shuo stood up, looked at the generals and said, "Xu Ding, I will give you five thousand soldiers, and you will be in charge of the south gate of Guangyang."

"promise!"

"Xu Huang, you lead five thousand soldiers and are in charge of the east gate!"

"promise!"

"Han Meng, you lead five thousand soldiers and are in charge of Ximen!"

"promise!"

Cao Shuo looked at the sun outside, it was almost noon, and ordered: "Siege the city at noon!"

The three generals went to prepare separately, and Xun You asked, "My lord left the north gate alone, do you want to give the other party a way out?"

"Leave a gate to prevent the soldiers in the city from fighting desperately. Besides, the Yongding River will soon dry up. After they find out that they don't need boats to cross the river, how can they stay in this isolated city?"

Xi Zhicai reminded: "Once the Yongding River stops flowing, Gongsun Zan may go upstream to check immediately. We need to be more careful!"

"Xu Rong, you led the five thousand Xuanjia troops to ambush on the way!"

"promise!"

"Zilong, you lead [-] Xuanjia troops and [-] infantry to defeat Shanggu County, and then prevent Zhang Liao from Daijun from entering Shanggu County."

"promise!"

"Zhang Zan, Wei Dun, Qi Zhou, you three go with Zilong."

"promise!"

Xun You asked, "My lord is worried that Lu Bu will break his promise and attack Shanggu County to fight for his interests?"

"This may not be impossible, and the probability is still very high!"

Cao Shuo didn't think that Lu Bu would give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He and Gongsun Zan had fought so hard for so long that he could take advantage of it. He would definitely take advantage of it.

Bingzhou Taiyuan County, in the city of Jinyang.

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao's battle report and was not angry at all.

"Cao Shuo, that bastard, actually took our credit!"

Chen Gong hurriedly asked: "Marquis Wen, why are you so angry?"

"Hmph, our army fought Gongsun Zan for several days, and Gongsun Zan's vitality was seriously injured. In the end, Cao Shuo actually led an army of 10,000+ and surrounded Ji County."

"What?" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in disbelief.

They lost nearly [-] troops, and finally beat Gongsun Zan out of Dai Commandery. This Cao Shuo really knows how to pick his time.

"Marquis Wen, can Cao Shuo's army capture Shanggu County?"

"not yet!"

"Let Wenyuan seize Shanggu County!"

"Come here, order Zhang Liao to recruit soldiers in Dai County and take Shanggu County to me."

Chen Gong asked in horror: "Marquis Wen doesn't plan to send troops?"

"There are only [-] elite soldiers left in our army, and the rest are newly recruited soldiers. How can we resist Cao Shuo?"

The current two battles have consumed a lot of his soldiers, but he has not gained much benefit. One hundred thousand soldiers, for a generation of county, this is simply a big loss.

"Don't Marquis Wen know that the people of Shanggu County in Dai County were all transferred to Jizhou by Cao Shuo?"

"When did it happen? Why didn't Zhang Liao stop it!"

Lu Bu's eyes widened with anger, and his tone was extremely unfriendly. How could this Zhang Liao watch Cao Shuo transfer everyone away?Could it be that he also secretly communicated with Cao Shuo like Gao Shun?
"Marquis Wen, I can't blame General Zhang for this matter. Cao Shuo transferred the people a long time ago."

"Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan, and his son Liu He was besieged in Zhuo County. Cao Shuo took the opportunity to send troops to wipe out Xianbei and Wuhuan in Shanggu County and Dai County,"

"Then Gongsun Zan used many war horses to get the second county back, but Cao Shuo transferred all the people in the county away."

"My grass..."

Lu Bu's veins popped out of anger, and he said angrily, "How could Gongsun Zan let Cao Shuo transfer the people?"

"Gongsun Zan only found out about this later."

"How stupid!"
