The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 55 It's on the verge of breaking out, and the master is heading south!

"Then what's the prime minister's plan?" Zhou Yu said this purely because Jiang Dong Erlang suffered heavy casualties, and he also understood that the overall situation was important, so he only asked.

"When my general was attacking the city, he heard people in the city say that the ammunition was about to run out, and that some of the ammunition could not be used due to moisture. According to the counselor, there will be a heavy rain in three days. When the rain falls, we will launch a general offensive. We must take Jian'an City at this station, otherwise Liu Bian in Kuaiji City in the north will definitely send troops to help. The battle will be defeated!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Firearms? Water?"

Zhou Yu nodded. It is reasonable for the weapon used by the opponent to be called a firearm. Hearing what Cao Cao said, he felt that it was reasonable.

"Do you have any questions? I know that you suffered heavy casualties in this battle. When my squadron returns to the court, I will definitely inherit the emperor and reward you all!" Cao Cao laughed.

The alliance relationship at this time is just because Yizhou Liu Bian has become a thorn in everyone's eyes, so the connection between them is very fragile, and they must be united with interests.

After thinking about it, he continued: "This time Nanyang Zhangxiu and Huainan Yuan Shu did not participate in it. They are the enemies of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Han Dynasty agrees to you to annex them together. When Liu Bian in Yizhou is eliminated, his The territory will also be divided equally among you, and I will never get involved!"

Cao Cao seems to be well-intentioned, but in fact he wants to sit back and enjoy the benefits. When the time comes, he will inevitably make the princes fight because of the uneven distribution.

Wouldn't it be beautiful for the fisherman to benefit from the competition between river mussels?

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister Gao Yi!"

"Then do as the Prime Minister said!"

The representatives of the princes present clasped their fists in thanks.

Cao Cao smiled inwardly, nodded slightly and said, "In that case, everyone, hurry up and appease the soldiers! Three days later, we are going to launch a general offensive!"

"Follow the Prime Minister's words!"

Everyone retreated slowly.

"Oh, a group of young people, death is not a pity!" When everyone left, Cao Cao couldn't help but sneered.

At this time, Jian'an City was also crying.

Because it was a surprise attack, some enemies still climbed up the city wall and killed some soldiers. The most important thing is that the opponent used a catapult with flames to project from all sides of Jian'an City, causing considerable damage to the people in the city.

There are still some houses that are still in the middle of the fire and cannot be extinguished, and can only wait for the natural extinguishment.

"How about the casualties of the soldiers?" Bai Qi asked in the study.

"Reporting to the general, 600 soldiers were killed or injured, more than [-] civilians were killed or injured, and hundreds of houses were destroyed!" A general came forward to report.

"The ammunition reserves are insufficient. If there is another siege battle this morning, we may not be able to persist until the end. Moreover, there is still a batch of ammunition that has been damp due to improper storage and cannot be used for a while!" A general came forward to report.

It was too late to blame at this point, and it was wartime, so he just frowned silently.

The opponent's army had already surrounded Jian'an City, making it impossible for him to refill his ammunition. If something like this happened at this time, it would be like adding insult to injury.

But fortunately, at the beginning of the war, the flames of war had already been ignited, and the news would spread to Kuaiji City immediately, and the army would definitely come to support at that time.

"Judging from today's situation, Cao Cao's army led by Cao Yuan and Zhang Ma must have been unable to cross the river in the north. If we want to break the deadlock from our place and enter our hinterland, we must defend it with all our might, otherwise a large number of soldiers and horses will enter our side. It will definitely make the common people suffer!" Bai Qi's expression turned ugly.

After so many years in business, this piece of land has felt like home!

"The last general obeys, let's go down to boost morale!" All the generals went down here.

Soon, the news of the beacon burning came as the fastest news.

"The flames are burning?" Liu Bian frowned when he heard the news. Under normal circumstances, the flames would only be ignited when it was impossible to resist.

"Now that the north is so quiet, why is Jian'an City in the south attacked so much that it needs to light a beacon?"

"How is the situation in Jin'an City?"

Liu Bian asked.

"Reporting to my lord, Jiangbei Guo Jia is exceptionally quiet, and there is no news from Jin'an City!" Huo Qubing reported.

"My lord, there is news from General Zheng that the whereabouts of Guo Jia's army is unknown, because the other party blocked the news, and the news didn't come out until today!" Lu Bu walked in quickly, his face flushed.

"hiss--"

Liu Bian took a deep breath and came to his senses, "Heh, if you are building plank roads and keeping Chen Cang in secret, the army must have gone south to attack Jian'an City, otherwise the flames of war would not have ignited so quickly!"

"My lord, there are 7 soldiers in Jian'an City at this time, enough food and grass to last for two years, but the siege of so many troops may not last long, the general will call for a fight!" Huo Qubing knelt down on one knee.

"No hurry, where is Han Xin's [-] troops at this time?" Liu Bian asked.

"At the center of Jian'an and Jin'an, we can provide support at any time. We also sent [-] cavalry on each side, so as not to bypass Jian'an and Jin'an and go straight to our Kuaiji!" Huo Qubing said.

"Very good, compared to General Han who knows the situation in Jian'an and will deploy soldiers to support him, so he probably won't be able to attack for a while!" Liu Bian nodded slightly, his mind spinning rapidly.

"Order General Ran and General Zheng to counterattack in an all-round way and cross the river as quickly as possible to capture Lujiang City!"

"As ordered."

"The [-] troops in Kuaiji City transferred to sweaty horses and [-] dragon riders went south with me to support Jian'an!" Liu Bian said.

"My lord, all of us will go south in this battle with only 10,000+ people, and the opponent has at least 20 troops, you can't go!" Huo Qubing was firm.

"If this battle is lost, what difference does it make if I go or not?" Liu Bian asked rhetorically.

"My lord can return it..." Huo Qubing hesitated to speak.

"I'm afraid there will be no chance for this retreat, and it is doomed to failure!" Liu Bian's face was serious.

"Don't worry, General Huo, I will definitely follow my lord, and with my lord's force, I'm afraid it's you who should be worried, right?" Lu Bu turned around and made fun of Huo Qubing in order to resolve the awkward atmosphere.

Huo Qubing forcefully forced a smile, "Follow my lord's orders!"

He didn't say much anymore, knowing his lord's aspirations, presumably this lord would not return to the small land of Yizhou even if he died.

"Okay, now that it's been finalized, let's send the order and we'll set off immediately!" Liu Bian turned around to change his clothes, and then added, "When Lujiang City is captured, let General Zheng lead the fleet to quickly go south to support, and Ran Min The general finds a way to block possible reinforcements!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Huo Qubing and Lu Bu bowed and left.

"Then my lord..." Wang Lang didn't know what he was going to do.

Liu Bian turned around and said earnestly: "This time, you don't want to go as a civil servant, and take good care of this Kuaiji City for me!"
