Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1040: Zang Ba seeks Xiapi
After losing Jizhou, Yuan Shao could only go to Qingzhou. Compared with the wealth of Jizhou, Qingzhou seemed a little barren. It was difficult to support the army in terms of food and grass, and his strength would plummet as a result.
"Lord, Hu Pass is a dangerous place. According to my subordinates, even if the coalition forces attack for another month, it will be difficult to break through. The soldiers in the army are already a little tired from the continuous battles. It may be a good choice to retreat to Jizhou." Feng said.
Ji Dao.
Yuan Shao asked in confusion: "Why did you say something else in front of everyone just now?"
Feng Ji said: "The matter of withdrawing the troops is of great importance. If the lord makes an immediate decision and cannot withdraw the troops, it will inevitably be discussed by the military officers. After the matter is decided, it is not too late to inform the army officers."
Yuan Shaoshen nodded in agreement.
The next day, the atmosphere in the general camp of the princes was a bit solemn. For example, Sun Ce, Cao Cao and others were making careful arrangements in the areas governed by other princes. The Youzhou army attacked Jizhou in a large scale, and the news that Julu County had been defeated spread among the princes.
It's no secret anymore.
"Benchu, I have learned about the Jizhou incident. Now the war at Huguan has entered its most critical moment. If Benchu withdraws his troops, our army will be at a disadvantage." Cao Cao said.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Mengde is now able to speak up. If something happens to Yanzhou, will Mengde still be so calm? Jizhou is the foundation of this prince."
"My words are based on basic considerations. If Jizhou withdraws its troops, it will be difficult for the Yanzhou Army, Jiangdong Army and Jingzhou Army to make any achievements. Once the other three parties withdraw their troops, who will Lu Bu deal with first?" Cao Cao said.
Yuan Shao's heart sank. At this time, Jizhou was in the midst of a war. As Cao Cao said, once the princes withdrew their troops, the Bingzhou Army would definitely not give up. Based on his understanding of Lu Bu, the Bingzhou Army's target was most likely Jizhou.
Whether it is Jingzhou or Yanzhou, Jiangdong is quite far away from Bingzhou. When fighting against Jizhou, Bingzhou has an absolute advantage.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was silent, Cao Cao said: "There is no need to worry at first. The city of Yecheng is high and the pond is deep. The Youzhou army sent to Jizhou this time is only more than 20,000 people, and merging the state is the foundation of Lu Bu. If the merging of the state is lost,
, the Youzhou Army will inevitably withdraw its troops."
Yuan Shao's expression kept changing, and after a long time he said: "I can stay in Huguan for half a month. If Huguan cannot be defeated, I will definitely withdraw my troops."
Seeing that Yuan Shao agreed, Cao Cao had a smile on his face. He knew Yuan Shao's character very well. As long as he showed how powerful he was, he was likely to change his decision. In this aspect, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had the same relationship.
The big difference is that Cao Cao will do it as quickly as possible as long as it is a matter of decision.
At Huguan, Lu Bu looked at the topographic map of Jizhou in front of him and said with a smile: "Judging from Wen He, will Yuan Shao withdraw his troops this time?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The coalition of princes paid a high price to attack Bingzhou. They will definitely not withdraw their troops so easily. However, as long as one party withdraws its troops, the other parties will definitely leave. Although the Youzhou army is strong, Yuan Shao
But he has been operating in Jizhou for many years. As expected, Yuan Shao will definitely place his hopes on the coalition of princes. As long as Huguan is defeated, Bingzhou will definitely be shaken, and Jizhou will also gain huge benefits from this war."
"It seems that the princes will not give up so easily. They ordered people to inform Zang Ba and Gan Ning to teach Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Biao a small lesson, so that they understand that their rule is not as stable as it seems."
Jia Xu raised his hands with excitement on his face and said: "Well, in my opinion, Commander Wang Yue can lead some of the shadow guards into Xuzhou to help General Zang Ba. If Xuzhou can be captured in one fell swoop, it will be of great benefit to the Lord.
benefits.”
Lu Bu said: "Wen He will make arrangements at this time. If you can't do anything about Xuzhou, there is no need to force it." If Bingzhou hadn't reached a critical moment, he would not have easily exposed Zang Ba's chess piece.
Jia Xu said yes, and was even more optimistic about the situation at hand. In Jia Xu's view, the princes' attack on Huguan would end in vain. All they had to pay for their attack on Huguan was corpses. Of course,
The price paid by Bingzhou in this war was also quite heavy. Whether it was Jiguan or Huguan, soldiers would die every day.
Occupying the advantage of the pass, the ratio of casualties between the attacking and defending sides gradually decreased under the fierce offensive of the princes. As the war progresses, the number of Bingzhou troops killed in Huguan has reached tens of thousands.
After the princes discussed it, they continued to launch a fierce attack on Huguan. This attack was more fierce than before. As a result, some of the walls of Huguan collapsed. This situation made the allied forces of the princes even more crazy. They seemed to
See the scene after the collapse of Huguan.
Facing the crazy attacks of the princes, the Bingzhou Army fought back in an orderly manner. As for the collapsed part of the city wall, it was no big deal to them, because there were tens of thousands of Bingzhou Army soldiers behind them. Even if Huguan was not there, they still had absolute control.
His confidence defeated the coalition of princes.
After Xuzhou, Langye, and Zang Ba read the letters in their hands, they handed them to Chen Gong.
After Chen Gong opened the letter and read it carefully, he whispered: "General, this is an opportunity for our army. The Yanzhou army attacked Huguan, Yanzhou is empty, and Xuzhou's troops are insufficient. If the general takes the opportunity to send troops to capture Xuzhou,
It’s not impossible.”
Since Cao Cao sent troops, Chen Gong has persuaded Zang Ba more than once to take the opportunity to seize Xuzhou. However, Zang Ba did not easily agree to this matter. Instead, he secretly accumulated strength. He was waiting for orders from Bingzhou. Zang Ba
He would never forget that he was a general in Bingzhou. Sometimes he would understand what Chen Gong meant in his tone, and even because of the attack on Xuzhou, there was some distance between him and Chen Gong.
Zang Ba said: "Now that we have the Lord's order, the attack on Xuzhou can be put on the agenda. I wonder what Commander Wang thinks?"
Wang Yue smiled and said: "I am here to help General Zang Ba occupy Xuzhou. However, I will not interfere with General Zang's decision-making." Through the brief conversation between Chen Gong and Zang Ba just now,
Wang Yue was keenly aware that Zang Ba and Chen Gong were not as harmonious as they seemed.
Although the war in Xuzhou is important, it is far less important than that in Huguanzhong. When Lu Bu sends him to Xuzhou at this time, is it as simple as a superficial order?
Chen Gong and Zang Ba naturally didn't know Wang Yue's thoughts. Seeing Wang Yue's arrogant expression, Zang Ba didn't take it to heart. Lu Bu specifically asked Wang Yue to come to assist him. He must have his own intentions. Wang Yue's name, Zang Ba
Of course Ba has heard of it.
