Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"You have eased the drought in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and you have made the keel waterwheel famous. I still count on it to make money for me. How can you not let the enemy know."

After Cao Shuo left Yingchuan, he rushed directly to Lü Bu's camp in Longkang.

Lu Bu was surprised when he saw Cao Shuo, did he doubt himself?Why did you lead the army here without prior notice?

"The final general has seen His Majesty!"

"My lord, there is no need to be polite, there are no outsiders here."

Lu Bu asked suspiciously, "Why is Your Majesty here?"

"To inspect Yuzhou and reward the soldiers stationed in Yuzhou by the way."

Lu Bu didn't think that Cao Shuo was simply here to reward the soldiers, but he couldn't figure out Cao Shuo's thoughts either.

"Guo Zhang, you go and inform the generals and counselors with more than five hundred shi to gather at Long Kang's camp. I have something to order."

"promise!"

Lu Bu left Cao Shuo's big tent with doubts, and Xi Zhicai asked, "My lord, at this time the tent is up for discussion, do you want to attack Yuan Shu?"

Cao Shuo laughed and said, "I haven't seen Cao Cao's main force since his soldiers defected, so I just took this opportunity to meet him."

Xi Zhicai nodded. Yuzhou has 15 troops left by Cao Cao. Although Lu Bu has taken over now, the middle-level generals are still Cao Cao's people.

Cao Cao trusted Cao Shuo and handed over the troops to him. If Cao Shuo didn't come to express his condolences, it would be really unreasonable.

This will make them feel that the soldiers they rely on are not as reliable as the soldiers recruited by Cao Shuo himself.

An hour later, Lu Bu sent someone to inform Cao Shuo that all the troops had arrived.

Cao Shuo came to the martial arts arena in Longkang Daying Camp, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Li Zheng, Li Dian, Shi Huan, Mao Jie, Cheng Yu and others were all present.

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

"All the generals are flat!"

Cao Shuo glanced at the few people standing in front of him, and said, "You are all the most loyal subordinates of my Cao family. You have been recuperating here for nearly a year, and you must be ready."

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, they wanted to go to the battlefield for a long time, but it was a pity that Cao Shuo put the focus of the conquest on the west, so that they could only defend here.

The generals in the north were three ranks higher than their official positions on average, which made them somewhat unconvinced, and some even complained.

"The army in the north has been exhausted from continuous battles. Now we need you to contribute to our country when we are conquering Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, and Liu Biao."

"Wish to share the worries for His Majesty, death is not a pity!"

"Our navy officers and soldiers were blocked in the area of ​​Jiujiang and Danyang. Sun Ce and Yuan Shu sank in the river with iron chains, preventing our warships from going west. Now we need to cross the Huai River and attack Jiujiang County and Lujiang from the north. county."

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai and handed over the final arrangement to him.

Xi Zhicai looked at Lu Bu and said, "General Fengxian led ten thousand Xuanjia soldiers to Cai to deter Shouchun on the other side of the river, and at the same time attract Yuan Shu's army."

"The last general takes orders!"

Xi Zhicai looked at Zhang Liao and said, "General Wen Yuan, you led [-] Xuanjia troops to Yicheng, felled more trees to make rafts, and pretended to cross the river."

"promise!"

The faces of Cao Cao's old subordinates were extremely ugly. They were very unconvinced that this work had to be handed over to the northern generals.

When someone was about to ask, Xi Zhicai looked at Yu Jin and said, "General Wen Ze, you are in the camp, select [-] soldiers, and sneak across the river from Zhongli tomorrow night."

"General Zhang is in Yicheng to attract troops for you. Presumably there are not many soldiers in Zhongli City. You should take Zhongli City regardless of all losses."

"The last general takes orders!"

Yu Jin was overjoyed, he didn't expect that the first attack would fall on him, he also understood now that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao attracted the attention of Yuan Shu's army, and they were all led by the Xuanjia army.

None of their soldiers moved, it seemed that they wanted to use them as the main force to attack Yuan Shu.

Xi Zhicai looked at Li Dian and Li Zheng, and said, "General Mancheng and General Xuancheng led an army of [-] troops to follow General Jin. After he takes Zhongli down, you quickly cross the river and take Yinling County, Jiujiang County!"

"No!"

Chapter 469 Seeking Yuan Shu

Cheng Yu on the side asked puzzledly: "The main attack direction is all placed in Jiujiang County. Yuan Shu has 20 troops, of which [-] to [-] are in Jiujiang County. Is this too risky?"

Xi Zhicai explained: "Our army has an advantage in equipment. In open field warfare, our army is invincible unless they stay in the city."

"Also, our focus is not on Jiujiang County, Jiujiang County is just a cover, we still have to start from Lujiang County!"

"Le Jin, Shi Huan, Mao Jie, Zhang Yang, Hao Meng, Wei Yue, Cheng Yu, you lead an army of [-] to Yangquan. After our army and Yuan Shu start the battle in Jiujiang County, you quickly take Anfeng County, Feng County, Lu'an County"

After Xi Zhi was deployed, the soldiers of each battalion were ordered to prepare.

The soldiers Cao Shuo brought were only to assist them in guarding the camp, and all the fighting was left to Yu Jin and them.

Lu Bu asked displeasedly: "Your Majesty, they all have things to do? Am I just a display?"

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "General Lu, don't worry, it will be useful to you."

"What's the matter?" Lu Bu looked at Cao Shuo eagerly.

Cao Shuo pointed to the map in front of him, and said, "I want to control the road north of the Yangtze River, from Nanyang County to Jiangxia County. Huang Zu has sealed it off, and I can't get in from the west."

Lu Bu looked at the map carefully and said, "You want me to invade Jiangxia from Lujiang County?"

"Together we will!"

Lu Bu's face darkened, and he said meaningfully: "Your Majesty's new beauty, don't you need to appreciate it for a few more days?"

"I didn't bring it out this time!"

"I'll find you some more!"

"..."

As the king of a country, how can he even take credit for his own generals?

Lu Bu discussed with Cao Shuo that once Yu Jin's army invaded Jiujiang County, he would lead the army into Lujiang County, and then go to attack Jiangxia.

In Shouchun City, Jiujiang County.

All the broken wine glasses were thrown in front of Yuan Shu, "Damn it, damn Lu Bu actually gave my daughter to Cao Shuo."

Yan Xiang looked gloomy. He didn't expect that Lu Bu was not fooled. This is really losing his wife and losing his troops. Lu Bu's stone-throwing brigade kept harassing Dangtu. They were afraid that Lu Bu would suddenly cross the river and lead an army into Jiujiang County.

"My lord, Zhang Xun, the guard of Shouchun, sent soldiers to ask for help."

Ask for help?

What help?

Yuan Shu was stunned, wasn't Lu Bu in peace?

And Lu Bu has no plans to cross the river now.

"What's going on?" Yuan Shu asked hastily.

"Lü Bu's army suddenly entered Xiacai and built a large ferry on the north bank of the Huaihe River!"

Yuan Shu wiped off his cold sweat. How dare this bastard lead his troops to attack?

How shameless.

One of his daughters can't exchange for a day of stability.

Yan Xiang reminded: "Your Majesty, Dangtu and Xiquyang each have [-] soldiers and horses. They must not be moved."

Yuan Shu frowned. Jiujiang County had a total of 15 troops, of which [-] were stationed along the Yangtze River, and Dangtu, Xiquyang, and Hefei each had [-] troops.

Although there are only 2 people in Shouchun City, as the former capital, Shouchun has sufficient supplies, weapons and equipment.

If Shouchun is lost, then his Jiujiang County may lose [-]% of its combat power.

"Report!"

Just when Yuan Shu was having a hard time making a choice, another soldier ran over in a panic.

"Why so panic?"

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Liao of the Wei State led an army into Yicheng and built a ferry on the north bank of the Huaihe River."

"what?"

Yuan Shu was terrified. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were dispatched at the same time. Are they really going to cross the river?

Yan Xiang suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we send the recruits we recruited there."

"New recruit?"

What can these recruits do? That's Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

Yuan Shu thought for a while, and then said: "Let the newly recruited [-] recruits defend Hefei. Of the [-] elite soldiers in Hefei, [-] will go to support Zhang Xun in Shouchun, and [-] will go to support Qiao Rui in Dangtu."

Yan Xiang said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if Cao Shuo's navy invades Jiujiang County, won't Hefei City be in crisis?"

Yuan Shu shook his head and said, "Even if Cao Shuo's navy can come in, he will attack Danyang County first. After all, Danyang County is to the east of us, and it won't be too late for us to make adjustments then."

Yang Hong asked: "Your Majesty, when will the warship researched by our three families be completed?"

Yuan Shu sighed, "The warship is already on trial, and it will be delivered in a short time."

Although their warships were not comparable to Cao Shuo's big ship, they were not much different in size, and their bed crossbows and throwing stones were more than double that of Cao Shuo's big ship.

According to Zhou Yu's suggestion, they didn't plan to fight Cao Shuo's navy in close combat, but used their superior equipment to fight at a distance.

Yan Xiang reminded: "Your Majesty, we need to ask Sun Ce for help and let him intercept Cao Shuo's navy on the Yangtze River."

Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong, "Master Yang, go there yourself!"

"No!"

Yu Jin led the army to the north of Zhongli, and ordered the soldiers to hide in the woods.

Here is a flat river, there is no danger to defend, if he leads an army to cross the river directly here, it will definitely disturb Zhongli's defenders.

Yu Jin's lieutenant general said: "General, according to reports from scouts, Zhongli County has a total length of 3000 miles, and there are five camps in total. Each camp has two to [-] soldiers. The banks of the Huai River are full of traps."

In order to defend against Cao Shuo's cavalry, Yuan Shu dug countless horse pits along the Huaihe River, especially in Zhongli, a county town that is not dangerous to defend, there are several sections of the river along the river that have been raised by nearly two feet. Even if you can cross the river, you can't get up.

Yu Jin thought for a while, the cavalry must not be able to pass, the river bank is so high, it is impossible for the soldiers to lift the horses up.

"Leave all the war horses and let them use them after General Li Dian arrives. We will find a way to cross the river at night, concentrate on attacking a camp, and then demolish the earthen walls on the river bank."

In the middle of the night, Yu Jin personally led the team and put all the felled trees into the river. In order not to waste time, Yu Jin didn't let his soldiers make a ferry, but let his soldiers hold the driftwood and slowly came to the other side of the river.

By dawn, 6000 of Yu Jin's [-] troops had already arrived.

"Xiao Hei, you lead a thousand soldiers, and give me a gap five feet wide in this earthen wall, and let Li Dian lead the cavalry to cross the river."

"promise!"

"Look, general, where is the enemy crossing the river!"

Yu Jin's soldiers were finally discovered by Yuan Shu's soldiers.

"kill!"

A cavalry team of hundreds of people came directly to kill Yu Jin.

Yu Jin narrowed his eyes, the trajectories of these cavalry were too abnormal.

The usual cavalry charged in a straight line, but these cavalry were like snakes, going east and west for a while, with a distance of three or four miles, and the effect was more than ten miles.

"Hahaha, Yuan Shu's cavalry has not yet learned how to charge."

Yu Jin's soldiers laughed one after another, how dare such a cavalry go to the battlefield?

Chapter 470 The Unflinching Zhongli City

"Keep your eyes wide open to see what the other party is doing."

Yu Jin's scolding made these soldiers pay more attention. Some of them had participated in the battle in Lujiang County.

Yuan Shu's cavalry was not so unbearable, these cavalry must have some kind of conspiracy.
