Han counter current

If the enemy army takes the initiative to attack, you only need to repel them. Don't rush forward, otherwise, the grand plan set by the lord and the military adviser may be affected. "

"No, this subordinate takes orders."

Pound is an excellent cavalry general, and the cavalry under his command are also Xiliang's elite who have survived many battles.Gongsun Xu knew Pound's ability and temperament, so he dared to let him lead the army forward so boldly.

After accepting the surrender of Yu Jin's Cao army, Gongsun Xu refused Yu Jin's request to serve, and instead ordered him to be taken to Chang'an and handed over to Jia Xu for disposal. As for the Cao army prisoners, they were disarmed and detained in batches.

In this way, Gongsun Xu settled his worries, and then led the main force to move forward. The target this time was naturally Xuchang.

Chapter 719 The Power of Whale Devouring Part 2

The northern border army that emerged from Xiliang and Chang'an shocked the world too much.Even, the timing of the appearance of this northern border army was too precise, and it directly blocked the life of other princes in the world.

Zhang Liao led his army to defeat Guan Yu's army, forced the remnants of the Cao army who escaped from Wancheng to surrender, besieged the Jingzhou army in Wancheng, and blocked all roads from Xiangyang to Wancheng. So far, Guan Yu's troops were completely trapped in Wancheng.

Gongsun Xu appeared at Hulao Pass in a mighty and irresistible manner. He first dispatched General Pang De to defeat Yu Jin's breakout army, and then sent General Wen Meng to lead three thousand cavalry to attack the five thousand Cao troops who came to support him. I dare not send troops to rescue.

After accepting Yu Jin's surrender, Gongsun Xu took over Hulao Pass, Luoyang and other sites without holding back, and then sent troops to Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass.

When Pound led [-] iron cavalry to the vicinity of Xuchang, the world understood that the northern army launched the great cause of unifying the north from east and west.

Cao Cao was blocked in the south of Jizhou, and Guo Jia was unable to break through the Beihai defense line. The soldiers and horses led by Zhang Xiu broke through the cities in Xuzhou one after another, and finally trapped Pengcheng, basically occupying Xuzhou.

"Sure enough, I was fooled, and I still underestimated this madman..."

Inside the large tent, Cao Cao looked haggard with exhaustion.A series of news from the rear hit him hard.If Hulao Pass is broken, the army from Chang'an can march straight in, and Xuchang is in danger.

After contemplating for a long time, the exhausted Cao Cao forced himself to stand up.This war, which lasted almost two years, was finally coming to an end. Unfortunately, it didn't end with Cao Cao's victory.

"Come on, send an order. The whole army is going to pull out the camp and prepare to withdraw. Send someone to contact the military division. The two departments will assist each other. Don't let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes."

In desperation, Cao Cao could only order to retreat.Chen Feng dared to send two important generals under his command at this juncture, and several generals launched an attack from the west, which meant that he was more than [-]% sure.

Cao Cao was well aware of the abilities of Gongsun Xu and Zhang Liao. The soldiers and horses they led were definitely the best in the world. In addition, they also had powerful generals like Ma Chao and Pang De, so Cao Cao couldn't help but worry.

The northern border army from the west was already approaching Xuchang. Although Sima Yi still had [-] troops in his hands, most of them were new recruits who had just recruited the army.

Cao Cao could imagine what kind of offensive Gongsun Xu's elite northern army and countless slaves would use to enter Xuchang, and then they would capture the Cao clan and the family members of the generals in the Cao army.

"Report, report, my lord, great joy, my lord, Cao Jun has withdrawn..."

Two days later, when Chen Feng was dispatching supplies in Yecheng, news came from the messengers in the rear.The stalemate for such a long time finally came to an end with the retreat of Cao Jun, and Chen Feng survived the most difficult time.

"Withdraw, hahaha, withdraw, it must be Wenhe who sent troops. Wenyou, you can see clearly in the spirit of the sky, the plan you made has succeeded..."

The retreat of the powerful enemy Cao Cao means that Cao Jun has no counterattack power anymore. At the same time, the arrogant Cao Cao can no longer move forward to the north. Moreover, he, who was taken from the rear, is now in an embarrassing situation.

In fact, Cao Cao encountered more difficulties than Chen Feng expected.Sima Yi occupied the area of ​​Xuchang and Sili, Guan Yu's army captured Wancheng, and Zhang Liao occupied the vicinity of Wancheng.

Zhang Fei led his army into Yuzhou, and Xuzhou was captured by Zhang Xiu. Cao Cao can only go to Yanzhou, the old land, and the rest of the place is now very chaotic.

Although he retreated to the north, Cao Cao's war was not over yet. He had to take back this territory before Gongsun Xu took Xuchang. In addition, Zhang Fei's troops had just entered Yuzhou, so he had to send elite troops to drive them away.

As for Chen Feng, although he exhausted countless resources, lost tens of thousands of slaves, and failed to achieve any results, he was able to force Cao Cao away. Even if he was a victory, the plan that Li Ru had set for him before his death was already half successful.

"Come here, send an order to the rear, let Zhao Yun lead the army to come to see me, the rebel army has been resting for more than a month, and the fighting power has already recovered, now, it is time to let them out."

Among the several generals under Chen Feng's command, Zhang Xiu, Zhang He, Meng Zhan and others all contributed a lot in the previous battles, and the troops they led also suffered a lot.

Especially for the slave army transferred from the grassland, the loss was no less than [-]. You must know that during this period of time, no more than [-] elite Cao troops were actually annihilated by Chen Feng. hard work.

One day later, Zhao Yun led 2 volunteers, servants, and slaves to the south quickly. Cao Cao wanted to retreat, but Chen Feng hadn't agreed.

Two days later, Huang Zhong arrived with [-] troops, and Chen Feng dispatched another [-] slave troops to him to pursue Cao Jun's follow-up troops. rest.

On the other side, somewhere on the edge of a tragic battlefield, a thin literati was looking ahead.

"Let's go, these two young people may have great achievements in the future..."

Outside the dilapidated city of Beihai, Guo Jia glanced helplessly at the two figures on the tower, his eyes filled with admiration and regret. After all the siege of the city had been going on for so long, he failed to capture the important place of Beihai after all.

Cao Cao has already retreated, and has sent someone to send a message that Guo Jia's army must cooperate with Cao Cao's main force and withdraw back to Yanzhou together.

"call,,,,,,,"

On the tower, Gao Zhong exhaled slowly, the serious look on his face was slowly receding, and was replaced by a look of joy.

"Guo Fengxiao, a natural genius, really deserves his reputation, General, this is the strongest opponent I have encountered so far."

Lu Xun, who was cautious and serious on weekdays, now had a smile on his face, but he had to be cautious when looking at the figure of Cao Jun outside the city.

"Perhaps, he is the strongest opponent we have encountered in this life. In the future, we will never encounter such an opponent again.

I swear, from now on, I will never be as embarrassed as this war.

The plan made by the military adviser and the adoptive father has been prepared for so long, and the slave army alone lost tens of thousands. Guo Jia wanted to solve this mess in a short time, alas, it was too difficult for himself. "

"Unfortunately, our army was also disabled, otherwise, now is the best time to pursue."

"Bo Yan, Guo Jia is still alive, do you think we will have a chance to pursue him? Hehe, to be honest, I really don't dare to pursue him."

"Yes, Guo Fengxiao is still alive, as long as he is here, we have no chance..."

Chapter 720 Tiger Falls Pingyang 1

Long before Li Ru died of illness, he was making a plan to defeat Cao Cao and annex the Central Plains, and apart from Li Ru, the only ones who knew the complete plan were Chen Feng and Jia Xu.

In fact, several well-known counselors in the world have their own characteristics.For example, Guo Jia is good at observing the situation, obtaining useful information from it, and making accurate judgments, especially when the situation is critical, Guo Jia can often play an unexpected role.

For example, Jia Xu is best at penetrating people’s hearts. Whether it was Dong Zhuo at the beginning, Zhang Xiu later, or Cao Cao, Chen Feng and others later, although they were all his lords, in fact, they often Jia Xu can guess the inner thoughts.

Others, such as Cheng Yu, are good at handling intelligence, and Xun Yu is an all-rounder, best at coordinating logistics.Back then, Chen Gong was not quick-witted, but he was more stable and mature.

As for Li Ru, he is a bit similar to the late counselor Xi Zhicai under Cao Cao's command. These two are best at long-term planning and formulating strict strategies.

For example, before Cao Cao got Xi Zhicai, he was actually far behind Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and he didn't know how to develop his strength.

With Xi Zhicai, he had a plan to capture Yanzhou, train elite soldiers, farm fields on the spot, gradually encroach on the surrounding areas, and then become stronger step by step.

For another example, Dong Zhuo was able to become a school captain in Xiliang from a ranger, and then climbed up step by step to become the local emperor of Xiliang, and then seized the opportunity to go to Beijing to become a grand master, with power over the world.

Then, in the battle against the Kwantung princes, Dong Zhuo was able to retreat safely while occupying a weak position, and he was able to watch the Kwantung princes fight among themselves without losing a single soldier or general.

It can be said that if Dong Zhuo hadn't killed himself later, and the power of family members like the Yuan brothers and Cao Cao was too great, perhaps Dong Zhuo's surname would really be in this world.

People like Li Ru and Xi Zhicai can actually play a better role than ordinary counselors when they encounter dangerous battles.

What's more, most of the time, others don't think they are so good.However, given enough support and time, they can make a difference.
