Chapter 609

Qingzhou, Jinan, Licheng!
Cao Jun advanced to Licheng, looking at the tall city and the current defense status of Licheng, he knew that it would be extremely difficult to attack Licheng.

Especially in the case of equal strength, it is even more impossible.

However, it is extremely dangerous to bypass Licheng and advance to the hinterland of Jinan.

As soon as the main force enters the hinterland of Jinan, Xu Ding's troops in Licheng will cut off their retreat, and the cavalry will be entangled. The main force on their side will be in danger of being besieged in the hinterland of Jinan.

So Cao Cao is not advancing.

At the same time, they are also waiting for the news of Yuan Shao in Pingyuan County.

If Yuan Shao advances smoothly in the plain, then it would be meaningful for him to fight like this, otherwise he would never do such a stupid thing.

"Report! Master Taishan County has replied!"

The messenger sent to Mount Tai hurried back to deliver Jushou's letter.

After dismantling it, Xu Ding slightly raised his eyebrows, and said to everyone: "Cao Mengde indeed sent tiger and leopard cavalry to attack Mount Tai. The south of Mount Meng was lost, but Gong Yuyi blocked the tiger and leopard cavalry to the south of Zhushui. At present, Mount Tai is still mainly threatened by the attack of two groups of troops sent by Cao Mengde from Jibei Kingdom.

All the way from Snake Hill to Juping, all the way from Feicheng to the line of Guishan, approaching Fenggao, the county government. "

"My lord, there are quite a lot of cities in Juping area, and there are dangerous rivers, and the mountains are even more steep, so there should be no problem. The only thing that can be attacked by Cao's army is the Guishan line. If it fails, Cao's army can directly advance outside Fenggao city. On the west bank of the river, this is the most dangerous place, and now half of the soldiers and horses of the public and horses have been transferred to Zhushui line to defend against tigers and leopards in the south, and they have to divide their troops to defend Juping, so there are not many available troops." Ju Shou said:

"My lord, we can start to fight back, we can't let Cao Cao live too comfortably."

Xu Ding knew what Jushou meant.

There may be a new crisis if it drags on.

Don't wait for the news that the locusts are in the sky.

After estimating the time, and recalling the recent rejuvenation of the earth and the recovery of all things, Xu Ding thought for a while and said: "Okay, coming and going is not indecent, inform Zilong that the sixth school's lieutenant army can move, give me Taking away the Jibei Kingdom and capturing Cao Cao's counselor Cheng Shu alive will make Meng De's heart ache."

After giving this order, Xu Ding said to Xu Huang again: "Gongming, you lead the left cavalry to move towards the Luoshui line, enter Luoyin and pretend to cross the river to support Pingyuan City."

"It's the lord!" Xu Huang took the order and left.

Xu Huang went out of the city and went east along the river, crossing Jishui in Taixian County and moving towards Luoshui.

"Let's go! Let's go out of the city to fight against Meng De and kill his vigor!" Xu Ding took his guns and led the generals out of the city.

Cao Ying!

Hearing the beating of war drums, the tent was thrown open, and the general came to report: "My lord, Marquis of Weihai has left Licheng, threatening to fight our army."

"Ahem! Why would Bokang want to fight me suddenly? There must be deceit." Cao Cao was suspicious, so he doubted Xu Ding's motives.

In addition, he didn't dare to send anyone to fight against Xu Ding.

If you can't beat it again, why bother to humiliate yourself.

Why fight generals when you can fight in groups.

"My lord, the Marquis of Weihai also said that if the lord is afraid of being cheated, he can lead people across Jishui and challenge him on the north bank of the river. If anyone can defeat him, not only Licheng will be handed over to us, but Jinan Kingdom will also be given to us. All the soldiers... ..." The general was still about to say something, but Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Don't talk too much, this is another attacking strategy, go down and send an order, the army is forbidden to discuss this matter, and anyone who violates it will be executed!"

"Here!"

"My lord, this is not a problem. We attacked Bokang, but we didn't dare to fight when he left the city. It was a big blow to morale, or we just attacked the city." Cao Hong said.

After Cao Hong finished speaking, Liu Ye said: "My lord, you can't. There are heavy troops from the Marquis of Weihai in Licheng City. The city is not easy to attack. Even if we fill it with our [-] troops, we can't attack it by force. We should continue to wait in the direction of Mount Tai and the plains." Good news, I believe there will be good news soon.

At this time, we should remain unchanged and respond to all changes. Without the support of Taishan County and Pingyuan County, even if Jinan Kingdom gave it to us directly, it would be too hot to hold. "

Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "Zi Yang is right, but Bokang is the most calculating. The meat he throws out is not tasty, and it will be poisoned if eaten. I won't be fooled by him."

Only then did Liu Ye look reassured. Cao Cao's work is still very stable. Thinking of Xu Huang's troops who were out of the city, Liu Ye went on to say: "Weihaihou's left cavalry guards are suddenly dispatched. I'm afraid something big happened in Pingyuan County. According to the time calculation, It's time for Yuan Shao to take Pingyuan City, or at the critical moment of taking it."

"Yuan Shao didn't talk much about Pingyuan City. He just told us to break through Licheng as soon as possible. Who knows what he's doing? I'm also worried that Bokang's left cavalry guards want to go around behind our army, and then attack our camp from north to south. What?" Cao Cao said jokingly.

The left cavalry is also called the Shenji Camp, equipped with Yishui crossbows, and various rapid-fire weapons, and they are cavalrymen. It is not impossible for Xu Ding to let them attack the camp to break the formation, especially Xu Ding is willing to cross the river. Challenge, the intention is very strange.

Liu Ye said: "Then the lord may have been won by Yuanlong. There was a serious situation in Taishan County, and the Marquis of Weihai became impatient. He was going to use counterattacks to end the battle as soon as possible, so that he could separate his troops.

We must be careful of his night attack and strengthen our vigilance! "

After nightfall, Licheng sent troops and horses across the river to attack the camp, but Cao Jun soon saw through.

Further corroborating Liu Ye's guess, Cao Cao had to strengthen the defense of the camp and deal with Xu Ding's attack by telepathy.

Of course, Cao Cao and Liu Ye were puzzled by one point.

How did Xu Ding, who attacked the battalion, let the soldiers and horses cross the river, because the spies they put on the north bank of the river to monitor the river were all killed silently last night.

Just when Xu Ding made frequent moves in Licheng, someone in Wuxiu City far away in Hanoi also made moves.

Dong Zhao said to Lv Bu while distributing grain and grass to Zhang Yang, "General Lu, this may be the last time I will deliver grain and grass to you."

Lu Bu said, "Mr. Dong, what is the meaning of this?"

Dong Zhaodao: "General Lu, you also know that there has been a severe drought in Kanto for eight months, and nothing can grow. I have no food to eat in Hanoi. I could last until midsummer, but recently Yanzhou and Jizhou attacked Qingzhou. It’s over, and the grain we bought from the Marquis of Weihai won’t be able to come in, let alone the generals, you still want to... hey!”

Lu Bu blushed, he didn't know what Dong Zhao meant, Hanoi was short of food, and the food was still bought from Xu Ding, now that he came here, he had to distribute some food, adding to Zhang Yang's burden.

This is to imply that I don't want to stay in Hanoi for a long time.

Zhang Yang tactfully persuaded himself to leave.

Hanoi has always been a land of prosperity and fertile land, and Lu Bu knew that Hanoi could not really be short of food even if he was a fool.

"It's embarrassing for Uncle Zhi. After a few days when our army is rested, I'll leave. I won't cause him any trouble." Lu Bu said with the lower half of his face.

In fact, Lu Bu felt very insecure after entering the Kanto region, and what Yuan Shu did made him feel very chilled.

Now that he thought about it carefully, he also felt that something was wrong with the matter in Guanzhong, and he felt that he was being calculated everywhere.

So after coming to Hanoi, I didn't feel at ease. On the contrary, I was very wary of Zhang Yang, for fear that this former colleague would kill him and annex his troops.

Dong Zhao asked, "I don't know where General Lu wants to go?"

"Where to go? I haven't made up my mind yet." Lu Bu shook his head slightly, and said uncertainly, "I've been out for so many years, and I suddenly want to go back to Bingzhou."
