My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce
Chapter 264
Although it is difficult for the Northern Army to defeat the Cao army, but the Cao army is also difficult to get out, the 100,000 army led by Chen Chu is all cavalry, if the Cao army retreats rashly, it is very likely to be chased and killed by the rank and tail of the Northern Army on the road, and finally collapse.
Chen Chu entered Yecheng surrounded by all the generals. As far as the eye can see, there are all broken walls and ruins full of devastation, and the streets and alleys are full of the remains of wounded soldiers and fallen soldiers of the Northern Army.
"My lord..."Where Chen Chu passed, the wounded soldiers who were scarred bowed down to Chen Chu one after another.
Chen Chu hurriedly jumped off his horse and helped up a sergeant in front of him who was injured in his left shoulder. The sergeant raised his head, his eyes full of exhaustion, but he still did not lose his true military qualities.
Chen Chu nodded heavily, "Okay!" Then he turned his head to look at the wounded soldiers and shouted, "You are all good!" He is worthy of being a soldier of the Northern Army! The eyes of the wounded soldiers suddenly showed excitement.
Chen Chu said to Yang Feng beside him: "We must ensure that all the wounded are treated!" I don't want to hear about soldiers dying because they don't get timely medical treatment! "
Rest assured, my lord!" Yang Feng immediately agreed.
The group came to the governance office, Chen Chu sat down on the main seat, the generals were lined up on both sides, and Zhou Yu, as a military advisor, stood beside Chen Chu.
Chen Chu glanced at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Gao Ran and Gao Shun, who were covered in blood. With a smile, he said, "The two generals have really worked hard!" The
second general hurriedly came out of the queue and said: "Serve the Lord, don't dare to say bitter!"
Chen Chu said with a smile: "In my northern army, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if there is a fault, the two generals will stick to Yecheng for half a month, and the spirit of the Cao army will be severely setback, from today on, the two generals will go to the title of deputy general, Gao Ran is the general of the army, and Gao Shun is the general of the middle guard!" "
The Protector General and the Zhongwei General are one level lower than Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, etc., but this is the main general, which is very different from the previous deputy general.
The two generals showed a look of surprise and hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, lord!"
Chen Chu smiled, "Get up." The
two generals stood up and retreated back into the column, and everyone immediately congratulated them.
Chen Chu smiled, and then asked Zhou Yu, "Gong Jin, now that the Cao army has retreated to Xiazhai thirty miles away, what should our army do next?"
Zhou Yu replied: "It is not advisable to advance in a hurry at this time, just entangled Cao Cao with cavalry and swept his grain routes, and when General Zhang Liao's Tiger Roar Battalion Iron Cavalry and the First Army arrived, they could launch a fatal blow to Cao's army!"
Chen Chu nodded, and then asked, "General Zhangjaw's 40,000 horses are in Liyang at the moment, do you want him to do something?"
Zhou Yu said with emotion: "General Zhang Jaw is worthy of being a wise and brave general, and returning to Liyang in time not only found a support for defense, but also laid a big nail in the rear of Cao's army!" Now all you need to do is General Zhangjaw to be on standby in Liyang, and he is not allowed to do anything!
"Baima is being besieged by tens of thousands of Cao troops at the moment, and the situation is not optimistic!"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "The lord doesn't have to worry about the white horse!" Regardless of whether Cao's army can capture the White Horse in a short period of time, in the current situation, Cao Cao will definitely not spend his troops to attack the White Horse, which has little effect on the entire battle situation!
Chen Chu figured out the key after a little thought.
Chen Chu paused for a moment in Yecheng, and then personally led 80,000 cavalry to the Cao army camp and the village. At the same time, the wounded soldiers and prisoners in Yecheng were continuously transported to Wei County.
Cao Cao was very annoyed and was furious in the tent.
"Seeing that he was about to take Yecheng, I didn't expect Chen Chu to personally lead the army to come! Isn't Chen Chu short of food and grass? How could he gather an army and head south so quickly? Xun Yu!
Xun Yu immediately replied: "There is indeed a problem with the grain and grass of the Northern Army, some time ago, Chen Chu has arrived at Huguan but did not continue to go south, which shows this.
"So what's going on now?" Cao Cao asked angrily.
Xun Yu shook his head slowly, with a puzzled look on his face. At this moment, the Cao army did not know that the Northern Expeditionary Army had attacked Yuan Shao's Wei County.
At this time, Guo Jia said: "After Chen Chu relieved the siege of Yecheng, he now personally led the cavalry to the Xiazhai of our army's camp, which is obviously trying to drag our army!"
Cao Cao frowned. Guo Jia continued: "There are only two possibilities for Chen Chu to do this, one is that Chen Chu's main force is coming from Bingzhou, and Chen Chu intends to drag our army and then gather and annihilate it; Another possibility is that Chen Chu is bluffing, but this is unlikely! The
crowd began to talk about it. Cao Cao frowned, put his hands behind his back, and showed a thoughtful look.
Suddenly raised his head and asked, "With the current situation, does Feng Xiao have a way to deal with it?"
Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "There are still many doubts about the situation of the Northern Army, and the several Northern Expeditionary Army in Yanzhou are like caries of tarsal bones, I don't know how to deal with it for the time being!"
Cao Cao was silent for a long time before he said, "Could it be that we gave up the entire Yanzhou in exchange for Yuan Shao's dismissal, but we didn't do anything in the end?!" The
crowd couldn't help but feel ashamed. Xu Chu suddenly came out of the ranks, hugged his fists and bowed, "My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, break the northern army in front of him, and capture Chen Chu alive!" Immediately, all the generals came out to fight.
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel emotional.
In the end, Cao Cao did not give the order to fight as the generals wished. Although Cao Cao also very much wanted to defeat the cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army in front of him in one fell swoop, it was impossible for Cao Cao's 100,000 or so troops to compete with Chen Chu's 80,000 elite iron cavalry in the wilderness.
Cao Cao ordered all generals not to go out of the camp to fight without authorization. The generals couldn't help but be very discouraged.
In the evening of the same day, Youzuo brought the latest news of the Northern Army. It was only at this moment that Cao Cao understood where Chen Chu got the grain and grass.
"I didn't expect Chen Chu to surprise Yuan Shao's Wei County!" Cao Cao looked surprised. Guo Jia also sighed: "This trick is really wonderful!
"Fengxiao, how much grain and grass can there be in this Wei County?" Cao Cao asked. This question is critical.
Guo Jia thought for a moment and replied: "Wei County is an important transshipment hub from Jizhou to Luoyang, and the wheat harvest season has only been long after, and Wei County may have hundreds of thousands of loads of grain!" "
What?! So much?! Cao Cao was so shocked that his voice changed. Guo Jia nodded.
"However, even if there are hundreds of thousands of loads of grain, if the northern army comes, it won't last long?" It was Lejin who spoke.
Guo Jia explained: "This grain is only for transitional purposes, I think Chen Chu must have ordered the three states under his jurisdiction to step up the preparation of grain, it will not be long, the grain and grass raised from the land of the three states will definitely be transported to the Yanzhou battlefield in a steady stream." Then
he turned to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, our army must retreat as soon as possible!" Otherwise—" Guo Jia's words were not finished, but Cao Cao understood what he meant.
Cao Cao was silent for a long time, and finally asked unwillingly, "Are we really going to give up Yanzhou?"
Guo Jia sighed, "There's no way around it!" "
Why retreat?! I don't believe we can't defeat the Northern Army! Angry, it was Xu Chu who spoke.
"If you fight to the end now, even if you finally repel the Northern Army, you will only be able to cheapen Yuan Shao, who is on the side! Our army retreated to Qingzhou, with Qingzhou as the base, and the whole army in Tuntian waited for the opportunity, and it will definitely be able to make a comeback! The
crowd was silent. They all looked at Cao Cao, waiting for Cao Cao's decision.
Cao Cao frowned, pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and looked inexplicable. Everyone didn't dare to come out, and they were inexplicably nervous. Only Guo Jia seemed indifferent, and he seemed to have a bamboo in his chest. Needles can be heard falling in the big tent.
After a long and short while, Cao Cao raised his head suddenly, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The ** army has left Yanzhou today, and it will definitely make a comeback in the future!" "。 Cao Cao had already made up his mind.
The strategists didn't say anything, but the generals looked surprised. "My lord, please think twice! Even if I Xu Chu fights for my life, I will defeat Chen Chu! "。 Xu Chu knelt on the ground, heroic.
Cao Cao hurriedly came to Xu Chu, helped Xu Chu up, and said with emotion: "The general is loyal and brave, I am very relieved!" But I've made up my mind, and you don't have to say any more!
Xu Chu showed a look of pain on his face, and finally made a promise with difficulty. Cao Cao slapped Xu Chu's fist heavily.
Returning to the main position, Cao Cao immediately ordered, "Order Xiahoudun to closely monitor Liyang's northern expeditionary army, and there must be no slackness!" "。 Xiahoudun was leading 30,000 troops to be stationed ten miles north of Liyang at this moment, he was originally going to lead the army to seize Liyang, but he was grabbed by Zhang He, so he had to be stationed at the throat road north of Liyang, blocking the passage of Zhang He's department to the north, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle of Yecheng.
"Ordered Cao Ren to immediately abandon the siege of Baima, turn to Puyang, and meet the army."
"Order Cheng Yu to stick to Yanzhou and wait for orders. Ordered Li Dian to rendezvous with Cheng Yu and stick to Yanzhou. At this moment, Cao Cao did not know the news that Li Dian had been defeated and died.
"Order Xun You, give up Jiyin, Dingtao, and Liang County, and retreat to Yanzhou."
Cao Cao apparently still didn't want to give up Yanzhou City.
Then he turned his head to Guo Jia and said: "The current problem is how to get rid of the current expeditionary army in front of you and retreat to Puyang.
Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "It's not very difficult!"
Cao Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What should I do?"
Guo Jia whispered in Cao Cao's ear for a moment. Cao Cao's face suddenly became a little solemn.
Guo Jia knew why Cao Cao hesitated, and persuaded: "Lord, if you keep making decisions, you will suffer from it!"
Cao Cao's heart froze, his face showed a resolute look, and he nodded slowly.
A rough map of the mountains and rivers of Yanzhou lay flat on the ground in the center of the tent, which was lit with torches, dimly lit, and smelled of smoke. Chen Chu and a group of generals gathered around the map and were discussing military affairs.
Suddenly, one of the scouts ran into the tent. "Lord, Cao Jun has moved!"
"What's the situation?"
"Cao's camp is very busy, they seem to be ready to make a move!"
Chen Chu ordered without hesitation: "Order the whole army, prepare for battle!" "
Yes!" The scout hurried out of the tent.
Chen Chu turned his head and asked Zhou Yu, "Gong Jin, what do you expect Cao Jun to do?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "I haven't seen the actual situation, I don't know!" Two
quarters of an hour later, Chen Chu led 80,000 cavalry out of the camp, and Zhou Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Pang De and others would follow closely behind.
Eighty thousand iron horsemen marched quickly in the dark night, accompanied by the sound of thunder. Along the way, scouts came from time to time to report the latest situation.
