Gao Ran said categorically: "Now is an extraordinary moment, don't be stubborn!" Our soldiers need to be mentally ready to fight, and the repair of the walls will have to be done by the people! After

a pause, he added, "Send more men to watch over them, so that they do not escape."

Gao Shun nodded, "I'm awake." "

After a day of bloody fighting, the soldiers of the Northern Army were very tired, so they lay on the city wall. Of course, the necessary patrols and vigilance forces are still unrelenting.

Most of the Northern Army has rested, but there are many people who are still busy, these people are not the Northern Army, they are all ordinary people in Yecheng. They were repairing the city walls under the supervision of the Northern Army.

Although these people were repairing the city walls for the northern army, their eyes always inadvertently showed hatred.

Chang'an General's Mansion.

Chen Chu, who was sleeping soundly in Diao Chan's arms, was suddenly awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Lord, there is an emergency military situation!" The Iron Guard's voice was very urgent.

Chen Chu looked at Diao Chan in his arms, and Diao Chan had already opened his eyes at this moment. The charming eyes with a wisp of spring were looking at Chen Chu in a blink.

Chen Chu smiled slightly, kissed Diao Chan's red lips, and said softly: "You rest, I'll take care of official business." Diao Chan nodded obediently.

When he came out of the room, he saw an iron guard dying with a look of urgency.

"What's going on?" Chen Chu asked.

"There is an urgent military situation from Yecheng, and the gentlemen and generals are already waiting in the study."

Yecheng!? Chen Chu frowned slightly and walked quickly to the study. On the way, Dian Wei was wearing armor while hurriedly catching up with Chen Chu, it turned out that at the same time as the iron guard came to report Chen Chu, there was also an iron guard to call Dian Wei, Dian Wei was Chen Chu's personal guard, as long as Chen Chu left the room, he would follow Chen Chu.

"My lord." Dian Wei hugged his fist towards Chen Chu.

Chen Chu nodded, did not speak, and continued to walk towards the study. Dian Wei followed.

When they came to the study, Jia Xu and other strategists and Zhang Liao and other generals were already waiting. I need to introduce a person here, this person is Pang De, the fierce general who was captured by Zhao Yun when he was conquering Xiliang in the previous expedition to the Northern Army, Pang De was also sitting at this time, he is now a deputy general appointed by Chen Chu, under the command of Zhang Liao.

When everyone saw Chen Chu coming in, they all got up and saluted.

When he came to the main seat, Chen Chu said to everyone: "No need to be polite. Then he asked Jia Xu, "Wenhe, what's wrong with Yecheng?"

"Back to the lord, Yecheng has been besieged by the 200,000 troops of the Cao army at this time, and the situation is very critical!"

Chen Chu was taken aback, "How is this possible?" Where did Cao's troops come from to besiege Yecheng? Also, how is the situation of the main force of Fengxian?

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "There is no news of General Lu for the time being." Cao Jun was able to throw the main force to our front, which means that he has solved the problem on Yuan Shao's side.

"Could it be that Yuan Shao has been defeated again?"

Jia Xu shook his head, "I'm afraid this time will be different." Yesterday, there was also news that Yuan Shao was in a stalemate with Cao Cao in Dingtao, this matter is very strange, no matter how stupid Yuan Shao is, he will not be unaware of the movement of Cao Jun in the front! I suspect that Yuan Shao has reached some kind of agreement with Cao Cao, so Cao Cao was able to transfer the main force away from Dingtao to deal with us!

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, Chen Chu frowned, he felt that Jia Xu's guess was very likely.

At this time, Zhang Liao hugged his fists at Chen Chu and said: "Lord, our army must immediately reinforce Yecheng, otherwise Yecheng will be in danger even if they are in danger!"

Chen Chu looked at Jia Xu, Jia Xu nodded and said, "What General Wenyuan said is extremely true. Whatever the situation is, we should send reinforcements immediately!

Chen Chu frowned, "But what about the problem of grain and grass?" "

Yes! The food and grass of the Northern Army is a big problem, and there is no way to support a large army expedition!

Everyone fell silent for a moment, if it weren't for the problem of grain and grass, it would have been impossible for the Northern Army to send only 200,000 troops to attack Yanzhou, and it would not have encountered the current predicament.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, "My lord, there are huge reserves of grain in merchants and among the people, and we can use money to raise these grains.

Everyone's eyes lit up, yes! There is a large amount of grain in the hands of the people and merchants!

"Here's a way!" Chen Chu said excitedly, and then frowned slightly, "However, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time!"

Jia Xu nodded and continued: "The biggest drawback of raising grain from the people is that it takes a long time, so we must first raise a batch of grain from the merchants, so that the army can go out as soon as possible!"

"Yes, if we do that, the army will be able to do it in half a month. By the way, how many troops can be guaranteed to go on the expedition within half a month?

"About 150,000 or so."

Chen Chu frowned slightly, an army of 150,000 sounds like a lot, but at this moment, when it is put into the Yanzhou battlefield, the outcome is still unpredictable.

"No matter what, they must be rescued! Far.

Zhang Liao immediately stepped out of the ranks, "My lord." "

The Tiger Roar Battalion in the Pass and the Blue Wolf Battalion and the Hun Cavalry in Bingzhou were ordered to rush to Huguan. At the same time, the order was given, and the First Army Corps prepared for battle. "

Yes."

"Wenhe, you are in charge of Guanzhong and supervise the collection of grain and grass."

"Yes."

Chen Chu glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "This battle is related to the future and fate of my northern army, I hope you don't slack off!" "

I'll die to repay my lord!"

After the meeting ended, Chen Chu immediately ordered Dian Wei to prepare, and he had to rush to Huguan immediately. Chen Chu decided to personally lead the army out of Huguan to rescue the third and fourth legions in distress.

For Chen Chu's decision, the generals and strategists fiercely opposed, but Chen Chu still insisted on his decision.

The order was laid, and the four thousand guards quickly began to assemble. The Iron Guard was originally 5,000 people, and 1,000 of them had already been led by Jiang Tai to escort Sima Yi to the Western Regions.

Just when the iron guards were assembled and ready to go, there was an urgent report that Ma Chao's 30,000 horses were surrounded near Jiyin County, and the situation was critical.

The strings in everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten even tighter.

Before dawn, four thousand iron guards gathered outside the General's Mansion, and at the gate of the mansion, Chen Chu was saying goodbye to all the women one by one. To Chen Chu's surprise, Sun Ren, who had always been at odds with Chen Chu, also came to see him off.

Then the team set off, Diao Chan and the others looked at Chen Chu's back, tears shining in their eyes.

In addition to Dian Wei, who has always been inseparable, there is also a graceful figure in red ** armor, she is none other than Chen Chu's beloved, Zhang Rui. It turned out that after Zhang Rui learned the news that Chen Chu was going to personally lead the army to go on the expedition, she immediately begged to go with Chen Chu, and she no longer wanted to endure the days of being separated from Chen Chu. Chen Chu agreed after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Rui's martial arts are not weak, besides, this time the expedition is accompanied by all the fierce generals, which should be able to protect Zhang Rui's thoughtfulness, in addition, in the depths of Chen Chu's heart, he really wants to keep Zhang Rui by his side.

After the team left Chang'an, they went all the way north and entered the border of Bingzhou through Beidi County. Then cross Hexi County and go directly to Huguan.

When the team entered the territory of Shangdang, it joined the Hun cavalry and the blue wolf battalion that set off from Bingzhou. Before Chen Chu left Chang'an, Zhang Liao sent a flying pigeon to Bingzhou, and the officials who received Chen Chu's order to stay in Bingzhou immediately acted, 60,000 Hun cavalry and 50,000 blue wolf battalion cavalry were assembled in half a day, and then Zhang Fei took Fan Chou, Li Dao, Yang Feng, Qiangqu four generals and Zhou Yu to lead 110,000 cavalry to Huguan. Two days later, the army arrived at Shangdang.

After Chen Chu met with Zhang Fei and Zhou Yu, he rushed to Huguan non-stop.

On September 18, the army arrived at Huguan. Temporarily stationed here, waiting for grain and grass and the Tiger Roar Battalion led by Zhang Liao and Pang De.

On this day, Chen Chu received the latest news from Yanzhou. Ma Chao has broken through and retreated to Baima, but less than 10,000 of Ma Chao's 30,000 men have entered Baima, and Cao's 60,000 troops have surrounded Baima; Lü Bu's main force encountered a strong resistance near Yanzhou and could not advance or retreat; The situation in Yecheng is getting more and more critical, and they may have been holding out for a long time.

"Jaw open, what are they doing now?" Chen Chu frowned and asked.

"General Zhang Jaw is stepping up the construction of a pontoon bridge, but there is Cao Cao's army on the river, and General Zhang Jaw is difficult to cross the river for a while!" It was Zhou Yu who answered.

Chen Chu stood up and walked to the wooden frame with the map hung, and the generals gathered around.

"The current situation is very serious! Gong Jin, do you have any suggestions?

"Although the white horse is critical, it is difficult for the Cao army to capture it for a while. It is better to order General Zhang Jaw to turn around and retreat to Liyang and block the passage of Cao's army to the south! Zhou Yu pointed to Liyang to the north of the white horse and said.

Then he pointed to Yecheng in the northeast of Liyang, and continued: "Cao Cao wants to gather and annihilate the defenders of our Yecheng in one drum, and then form a trend of catching turtles in the urn. Our army must rush to the aid of Yecheng as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will be very unfavorable to our army!

"However, the grain and grass have not yet arrived, and it is difficult for our army to make the trip!" It was Yang Feng who spoke, and at the moment he was looking worried.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he said arrogantly: "Isn't there no food and grass to rescue?" Then he hugged his fist at Chen Chu and said: "Big brother, my old Zhang is willing to be the pioneer and rush to the aid of Yecheng!"

Chen Chu's eyes fell on Yecheng, and he said in his heart: Yide's words make sense! Rescue Yecheng no matter what!

Turning his head to look at Zhou Yu, he wanted to see if one of the most famous military advisors in the Three Kingdoms period had any plans.

Zhou Yu showed a thoughtful expression, and his eyes converged on Wei County, which was not far from Yecheng, but this was Yuan Shao's territory?

"My lord, we can get food here." Zhou Yu pointed his finger at Wei Jun.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Strategist, this is Yuan Shao's territory! Also, how can there be food here? Yang Feng asked in surprise.

Zhou Yu smiled confidently and turned his head to look at Chen Chu, who nodded slightly knowingly.

Zhou Yu explained: "Yuan Shao's grain is mainly produced in Jizhou, and this Wei County is an important transit point for grain from Jizhou to Luoyang. Some time ago, it was the wheat harvest season, and due to the war in the past few months, I am sure that a considerable amount of grain has been hoarded in Wei County, and has not yet been transferred to Luoyang.

"However, even if there is food there, it is Yuan Shao's! Let's go get it, it's not good! Yang Feng was a little worried.

"What's so bad! Yuan Shao is not benevolent, so don't blame us for being unjust! Zhang Feihu roared with a face. Then he turned his head to Zhou Yu and said, "Zhou Yu, I always thought you were just a sissy, but I didn't expect you to really have some skills!" That's a good idea, I like it! "
