Han counter current

Guo Tu seemed to have thought of something. In Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Zang Ba occupied some territory. These two men did not have many soldiers and horses, and their food and grass were limited.

In addition, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses also occupy some cities in the south of Xuzhou.However, in the past six months, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have not made much noise.

"Xiahouyuan only has [-] troops, Liu Bei should be able to hold back."

"No, it's definitely not like this. My lord, Xia Houyuan is known as the Super Speedy General. The reason why he only led [-] soldiers and horses must be to rush forward with light troops and kill Liu Bei by surprise.

In addition, we did not inquire about any news before, and we did not even know that Xia Houyuan had arrived in the south of Xuzhou.

This shows that Cao Cao has long been planning all this.It is very likely that Cao Cao's main force is on its way to Xuzhou, and Xia Houyuan is just opening the way. "

After all, he is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. Even if Guo Tu is not smart, he can still smell some danger from Xia Houyuan's actions.

"That's not enough, Liu Bei. He has formed an army of tens of thousands in the past two years. Could it be that he will be defeated by Xia Houyuan's six thousand troops?"

After all, Yuan Tan couldn't believe it. Liu Bei occupied Pengcheng and other places, and he had quite a few troops under his command. Xia Houyuan was indeed a super fast general, but he couldn't make up for his inferior strength.

"Hehe, my lord, Liu Bei has fought against Cao Cao for so many years, how many times has he won? Besides, is Liu Bei's army as elite as Cao Cao's?

In addition, my lord, have you forgotten that it is spring now, and spring plowing has probably started in Xuzhou. Usually at this time, some of Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops are scattered in various cities and are busy farming.

Most importantly, if Cao Cao decided to go north, how could he only send 6000 people like Xia Houyuan.After taking Xiliang, Cao Cao acquired a large number of horses and formed more cavalry.

As long as Xia Houyuan can hold out in front for a few days, presumably, the cavalry behind will come to support in the shortest possible time. "

It has to be said that Guo Tu's analysis ability and insights are still very good, being born in a wealthy family and having experienced so many great scenes.

At least, he is aware of Cao Cao's ability and Liu Bei's ability.Regarding the current advantages and disadvantages of the two armies, he can more or less say something.

"Hurry up, send someone to send a message to Liu Bei and Zang Ba. Cao Cao's main force is about to go north. If they don't want to be defeated, they'd better make preparations as soon as possible."

If Cao Cao takes Xuzhou, then Qingzhou will have to directly face Cao Jun's tigers and wolves. This is not what Yuan Tan wants to see.He knows how scary Cao Cao is.

"I'm afraid it's too late. Cao Cao's ability to use troops is top-notch in the world, and he has counselors such as Guo Jiana to plan for him. Liu Bei may not be able to hold on this time.

My lord, we must think for ourselves.If Liu Bei can't support it, Zang Ba will probably not be able to support it alone. At that time, we will have to confront Cao Jun. "

Others can make chaos, but Guo Tu can't. Yuan Tan still needs his advice, and the whole family relies on him to support him.

"you mean,,,,,,"

"Immediately send someone to contact Yuan Shang and Chen Feng, tell them about Cao Jun's changes, and persuade them to stop fighting. In addition, we should also take the initiative to show Chen Feng good.

Presumably, they are also unwilling to see the scene of Cao Jun going north. This time, unless we work together, I am afraid that no one will be able to resist Cao Jun's tiger and wolf division. "

Only when he is really facing danger, Yuan Tan knows how to be afraid.The singers in the hall could no longer arouse his interest.

The development of the matter was even worse than Yuan Tan imagined.Xia Houyuan marched lightly to the north, breaking through several lines of defense of Liu Bei one after another.

Just when Liu Bei mobilized troops to encircle and suppress Xiahouyuan, a cavalry appeared in the south of Xuzhou.

Then, not long after Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were sent out, Cao Zhang led [-] elite cavalry to attack the soldiers and horses. Outside Pengcheng, Cao Zhang showed his might.

In the end, it was Zhang Fei who led 3000 cavalry out of the city to respond, and it was considered that most of the soldiers were rescued. However, after this battle, only more than [-] of the [-] cavalry that Zhang Fei managed to form were left.

"Expel the people, trap Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in Pengcheng, hurry up,,,,,,"

After these two years of training, Cao Zhang has grown into a qualified cavalry general. Of course, he only has [-] cavalry, which may not be as good as a quarter of the soldiers and horses in the city.

However, he was confident enough that outside of Pengcheng, Liu Bei's entire army would not be able to defeat his [-] elite cavalry.

You know, the ten thousand elites under his command are all veterans of many battles, and the horses are also tall horses from Xiliang. In terms of combat effectiveness, they far exceed Liu Bei's subordinates.

On the other side, Xiahou Yuan joined Xiahou Dun who had come to support him. Fifteen thousand soldiers and horses from both sides crossed Liu Bei's territory. For a while, no one dared to stand in front of him.

In addition to Cao Zhang's soldiers and horses, only 5000 people were fighting against Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops.You know, in the past two years, Liu Bei has formed an army of [-] on his own territory.

This is still when the main force of Cao's army has not arrived and Cao Cao has not come in person, Liu Bei is so unbearable. If Cao Cao arrives in Xuzhou in person, is there still a need for this battle?

"Hahaha, Ziwen did a good job. He didn't attack the city. He was only responsible for keeping an eye on Pengcheng. Alright, let Liu Bei be watched to death. Yuan Rang, the Lord's army is coming soon. Before that, we have to clear the obstacles for the Lord. "

The excitement on Xia Houyuan's face was undoubtedly revealed. This time, he has done a good job in the role of pioneer. Next, it depends on how he expands the results of the battle.

"Hey, Ziwen is keeping an eye on Pengcheng, so let's wipe out other cities besides Pengcheng."

Before starting the war, Cao Cao gave them tasks, and they knew how to proceed with the war.

According to the plan, before Cao Cao arrived in Xuzhou, most of Liu Bei's territory had to be cleaned.

Chapter 443: The Hero’s Means 1

The news of Cao Jun going north was enough to panic the princes of Hebei.After dormant for a long time, Cao Cao, the hero of troubled times, finally showed his minions again.

This time, compared to the Battle of Guandu a few years ago, Cao Cao was much stronger. On the other hand, the princes in Hebei have their own selfishness. Under such circumstances, how can they compete with Cao Jun.

"Brother, it won't work if you go on like this. I'll lead people down and kill Cao Zhang'er."

On the tower, Zhang Fei had a look of anger on his face. The elite cavalry he managed to form was defeated by Cao Zhang.

That's cavalry. Over the years, I don't know how much money Liu Bei spent to form the 4000 cavalry. Now, there are only about [-] left.

"No, if you go to battle at this moment, you will definitely follow the enemy's way. You must not go to battle, stick to the city, the enemy army will come from afar, and there must be insufficient food and grass, and you must retreat at that time."

If you want to talk about fooling others, there is nothing to say about Liu Bei's ability.But in terms of military talent, Liu Bei is much worse, at least, compared to Cao Cao, he is much worse.

Cao Zhang only led [-] cavalry to block the main road from Pengcheng to the outside world, but this did not mean that Pengcheng was blocked.

If at this moment, Liu Bei led the main force in the city to fight out of the city, he might still have a chance to recover from the defeat.

After all, no matter how powerful Cao Zhang is, he only has [-] cavalry, but he has [-] soldiers and horses.It's a pity that Liu Bei doesn't have the guts.

At the same time, seeing that spring plowing had arrived, Liu Bei did not believe that Cao Cao would go northward in this season.In addition, as Liu Bei said, Cao Jun came from a long way, and the food and grass were insufficient, so it was difficult to last.

It's a pity that Liu Bei calculated what he didn't. Cao Cao and Guo Jia have already calculated it. This time, Xuzhou will never return to Liu Bei's hands.

Except for Pengcheng, other cities in southern Xuzhou fell one after another under the successive attacks of Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun.

At this rate, within half a month, Pengcheng, where Liu Bei is located, will become an isolated city.

"Feng Xiao, this time going north, we must take Hebei."

Inside the big tent, Cao Cao looked at the thin Guo Jia with a smile on his face.The two masters and servants have not seen each other for a while, and they are naturally happy to be able to fight together again this time.

"Hehe, it's only natural that our army has planned and prepared for such a long time, in order to unify Hebei.

My lord, the preparations for the west and south are about the same. The [-] main force of our army is going north, which is enough to wipe out the land of Hebei.

Hmph, that Chen Feng was our confidant in previous years, but this year, he won't be able to come back. When he recovers, Hebei is already the lord's. "
