The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"It's definitely not Liu Bei's army in Linzi Mountain, it's actually Linzi's garrison!" Cheng Yu said immediately.

"Chen Gongtai!!!" Cao Cao is also a well-known military strategist, how could he not know what happened now.If Liu Bei's army was ambushing in Linzi Mountain, how could he have lost so few troops, and he would be lucky to come back alive.

"Come here, rectify the soldiers and horses, and send the army to Linzi City!"

Cao Cao wanted to kill Chen Gong very much now, and even used a fake ambush to frighten him into fleeing. After this battle, Cao Cao's name will definitely be famous all over the world, but it is not very pleasant.

"My lord, we've spent four days going and coming here today. We've got our troops in order today, and we can send them out tomorrow. It will take two days to reach the city of Linzi."

"If Liu Bei leads his troops back at this time, the army will be in danger." Cheng Yu thought that Cao Cao's army had lost the best time to attack Linzi, but Cao Cao gave up his plan to send troops to attack Linzi again.

"Le'an and Jinan together have more than [-] troops, and Liu Bei's troops are only over [-]. How can we return to the army at this time? We should have time."

Xun You, a counselor of Cao Cao, thought that it was impossible for Liu Bei to deal with the enemy troops in Le'an and Jinan so quickly. You must know that there are many soldiers and horses in the two places, and there is also Lu Bu's terrifying army, which is not so easy to deal with.

"My lord, give me an army of [-]. I will go and fetch Linzi, and bring the head of the Chen Palace to meet." General Xia Houyuan immediately asked for orders to fight.

Cao Cao began to think about it. Although his head is prone to heat sometimes, he is very careful in matters of military and state affairs, and he values ​​the opinions of everyone.

Besides, he knew about Cheng Yu's talent, and it was not impossible, maybe Liu Bei was already on his way back to Linzi.

Suddenly, Cao Cao looked up at Xi Zhicai who was sitting silently with his hands down.

"My lord." Xi Zhicai felt someone looking at him, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Cao Cao.

"Zhicai, did you seem to be thinking just now?" Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai who hadn't participated in the discussion just now.

Xi Zhicai didn't reply immediately, but stood up and walked to a map, which was a general map of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, which was far behind the one drawn by Chen Ziming.

"My lord, what I was thinking just now was Chen Ziming. If I am in Liu Bei's army, how can I solve the danger of Linzi?" Xi Zhicai said while gesturing on the map.

"Jinan, Dongping Mausoleum, Linzi, Guangxian, Xi'an... Taishan, Boxian?!"

"Bo County!"

Finally, Xi Zhicai looked at Boxian and screamed.

"My lord, it's not good, Chen Ziming might send troops to attack Bo County!"

Finally, Xi Zhi discovered that the distance from Jinan Dongping Mausoleum to Bo County was very short, and it was possible to attack Bo County and destroy Cao Cao's food and grass before Cao Cao's army took Linzi.

"what!?"

Everyone present was taken aback. Everyone in Bo County knew that this was where Cao Cao's army stored all their food and grass. If there was a problem there, Cao Cao's army would be in danger of running out of food.

"My lord, return to the army immediately!"

Xi Zhicai hurriedly said to Cao Cao.

"Military division, can Xu Rong's army go to Bo County for reinforcements, and our army will attack Linzi?"

Cao Cao didn't order to return to the army immediately, but thought about it. This is Cao Cao. He can listen to everyone's words, but he has his own thinking and ideas.

"My lord, are you sure you can take Linzi within a day?" Xi Zhicai didn't believe what Cao Cao said before. Judging from the ambush in Linzi Mountain, although there are not many Linzi defenders, they will not be too few.

"This... is difficult!" Cao Cao knew that Linzi was defended by wise people like Chen Gong, and it was not something that could be won in a day or two.

Chapter 81 Liu Bei Arrives

"In this way, we should withdraw decisively to Yanzhou. If my guess is correct, Le'an Wenchou, Jinan Yanliang and Lu Bu have all retreated. If the Lord's army does not withdraw from Qingzhou in time, Liu Bei will send troops to destroy the grain and grass in Bo County, and then lead the army to pursue them. We wait, the army will stop at that time!"

Xi Zhicai knew that with Chen Ziming's ability, if he suddenly led his troops to Le'an and Jinan, it would be impossible for Wen Chou and Lu Bu to be unharmed. At least Xi Zhicai himself had the confidence to defeat these armies. Then go back and clean up Cao Cao.

After hearing what Xi Zhicai said, Cao Cao immediately led his army to withdraw from Guangxian County and headed for Xi'an. He quickly asked Xu Rong to divide a part of his troops to garrison in Bo County. Cao Cao provided the food and grass, and Xu Rong also knew the importance of it.

General Li Meng was ordered to lead [-] troops to Bo County, but it was a pity that Li Meng's army had only just entered Bo County, and when they encountered an urgent report from Bo County, General Liu Bei Zhao Yunqiao pretended to transport the army and opened the gate of Bo County.

The guard Cao Chun was stabbed by Zhao Yun and fled in defeat.Zhao Yun's army captured Bo County and burned all the food and grass.

When Li Meng's army came to Bo County, Zhao Yun's army had disappeared, and the piles of grain and grass had been burned to a pile of ashes.

After receiving Li Meng's urgent report, Xu Rong knew that the big event was over, so he sent someone to inform Cao Cao that he was gone, and then led the army to leave Xi'an, regardless of whether Zhang Liao's tens of thousands of soldiers in Xi'an would affect Cao Cao's army.

"Shu Zi'an dares to do this!"

After Cao Cao received the news that the grain and grass in Bo County had been destroyed and that Xu Rong had led his army to leave, his face turned blue, and he ordered to besiege Xu Rong's army on the spot.

"My lord, you can't. Xu Rong's army has [-] people, and he led the army well. Now there are only a few major generals in Yanzhou. Xu Rong's army is in trouble, and the damage will be great. Let him go back."

Cheng Yu said it very bluntly, that is, you can't afford to offend Xu Rong now, he is already in Yanzhou, if you turn against him, your hometown will be in danger.

Although Xu Rong can be killed in the end, that loss is not something you can accept now.

In the end, Cao Cao had no choice but to watch Xu Rong's army leave from his territory, and he had to send people to prepare everything for Xu Rong's army along the way.

As for Zhang Liao in Xi'an, he still doesn't know what's going on outside, and he doesn't dare to lead his army to pursue casually. Even if he knows that Xu Rong's army has retreated, he is the only soldier left in Xi'an, and he doesn't dare to trouble Cao Cao.

Not only did he not dare to go out, but he also strengthened his defenses. Zhang Liao was afraid that Cao Cao would not be reconciled, and wanted to take a bite at the end, which would put Xi'an in danger.

Zhang Liao guessed right, Cao Cao really wanted to occupy Xi'an, and according to Xun You's words, when he let the army pass by under the city of Xi'an, he deliberately pretended to be defeated and fled, in order to lure Zhang Liao to lead his troops out of the city in pursuit.

It's a pity that Zhang Liao is cautious, and he knows that his main task is to defend Xi'an, not to chase and kill Cao Cao, so in the end Cao Cao can only look at Xi'an city and shake his head and sigh.

The plan started in November last year, and now it is the end of February of the second year. Cao Cao sent 15 troops, consumed countless food and grass, and lost more than 3 troops. In the end, he didn't even see the shadow of Linzi City. The city has not been obtained.It is a loss of soldiers and generals, and there is no gain.

In the end, Cao Cao ordered General Cao Ren to garrison Mount Tai with [-] troops to guard against Liu Bei's revenge in Qingzhou, and he led the army back to Chenliu.

As for the [-] Xuzhou army in Pingyuan County, all his allies selectively forgot about it, and there was no intention of sending anyone to inform them.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"kill!"

"Whoever kills Xu Huang will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and worship the general!"

Pingyuan City, Chengshoufu, and now the entire cityshoufu is full of Xuzhou soldiers and horses. After nearly two months of siege, losing more than 3 people, they finally attacked Pingyuan City, and now this Chengshoufu is left.

"Today, we shall serve our lord with death!"

Xu Huang was covered in wounds, his own blood and the enemy's blood stained his whole body red. Xu Huang supported his large axe with one hand, and the other hand fell on his chest with a cloth. He was already injured and could not move.

There were only 40 people left around Xu Huang, all of them were wounded, covered in blood, their faces were exhausted, their eyes were bloodshot, but they had a high fighting spirit and a firm will to die.

"kill!!!"

Finally, Xuzhou's army rushed into the city guard's mansion, and countless soldiers rushed towards Xu Huang's dozens of people, wanting to take Xu Huang's head in exchange for glory and wealth.

"Clang! clang! clang! clang! clang!"
