I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 273 Ambush from All Sides
The tragic siege battle was staged at the head of Pingshou City. For both parties, Pingshou could not lose, so they tried their best to fight to the death.

For Cao Cao, the scramble is time. If Zhang Xi can gain a firm foothold here, the battle of Qingzhou will be defeated without a fight, and the general situation will be over.

Just as the Pingshou War was in full swing, Guan Yu's Shenwu Army also started to move. It sent troops from Shanyang County, Yanzhou, led 15 troops, and claimed an army of [-]. They marched mightily towards Dongguan County.

The governor of Dongguan is Cao Cao's confidant General Cao Ren. He has [-] elite infantry under his command. The combat power is tyrannical. Moreover, Linyi City is tall and backed by Yimeng Mountain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Cao Ren was sent to defend here to prevent Guan Yu's army from raiding .

What's more, in Langya Kingdom in the south, Liu Bei's subordinate Cao Bao led 7 Xuzhou troops to guard. There are [-] troops on both sides. , so that its head and tail cannot look at each other.

This expectation was perfect, but the reality was not as they wished.

Cao Bao was Tao Qian’s former unit. After Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, most of Tao Qian’s old units had joined Liu Bei, but the people were somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Bei. Most of the local generals felt that Liu Bei was a bit of a deceitful person. Jiu Zhanmagpie Nest, and Liu Bei reused his original subordinates, which made these old people in Xuzhou a little dissatisfied.

………………

Guan Yu left the country of Lu and soon arrived at Fei County along the Nishan and Mengshan valleys. There were [-] defenders led by Zhou Cang guarding here. It was an important pass for attacking Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and also the eastern gateway of Yanzhou. very important.

As soon as Guan Yu's army arrived in Fei County, Cao Ren in Linyi and Cao Bao in Kaiyang immediately became nervous, especially Cao Ren, who was extremely careful.Because Cao Cao is leading the main force of the Cao army to attack Pingshou at this moment, if the [-] troops led by Guan Yu break through and reach Qingzhou, then Cao's army will be in danger, so Cao Ren immediately passed the news to Cao Cao to prepare him .

"My lord, is it possible to act according to plan?" Xu Shu asked a little excitedly.

The army on the middle road was led by Li Shimin himself. The vanguard generals were Cheng Lian, Xu Rong, and Qu Yi. The Tiger Roaring Corps, Flying Tiger Corps, and Xiandeng Camp were dispatched together. Directly kill Pengcheng.

"The Battle of Jiangbei has dragged on for a long time, and it's time for a clear understanding. Everyone, everything should be done according to the plan, and there should be no mistakes. The time to wipe out Cao Liu is now." Li Shimin ordered decisively.

Guan Yu nodded slightly, and said noncommittally: "Yes, General Zhou has improved recently, do other people have other opinions?"

Zhao Yun led an army of [-] to attack the city and pull out the villages all the way, and soon pacified Teng County, Zaozhuang and other places. Seeing that the enemy was strong, Zhang Fei did not resist. Instead, he gathered all the main forces to Tan County, preparing to defend Donghai County.

"My lord's plan is so easy to guess." Guan Yu said as if he was talking to himself.

Li Shimin, who had already secretly arrived in Peiguo, soon received the news that Guan Yu's army had arrived in Fei County. At the same time, Zhang Xi's battle report was also passed on by pigeons. The moon is not a problem, and there are more than 1 Taishan troops in reorganization. It is not easy for Cao Cao to win Pingshou in a short time.

"What General Liao Hua said is not bad, but there are some secrets in it that you don't know. Of course, it won't be long before everyone will know."

This inevitably made Guan Yu ponder, could it be that the lord is really testing himself?
………………

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, closed his eyes slightly, and asked thoughtfully: "For generals to judge the situation, those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region. Then I will test you sunspot, what do you think we are doing at this time? How should we send troops?"

"The last general thought that at this time, the troops should stand still and continue to harass Linyi City, but did not really lead troops to besiege. With Cao Ren's prudent attitude, he would not take it lightly. Instead, he felt that our army was playing some tricks and tricks, so he would definitely strengthen the defense day and night. , This is a strategy for weary troops. In addition, Cao Bao in the south saw that our army had not begun to attack the city, and the enemy's situation was unknown, so he would definitely hold back his troops. Our army can attract the enemy's attention. It can be achieved smoothly." Liao Hua said confidently.

"No, the last general (subordinate) would like to obey the general's order." Everyone led the order and left.

"General, Cao's army is not attacking Pingshou right now. As long as our army defeats Cao Ren's defenders in Linyi, we can attack the main force of Cao's army from behind. It is bound to defeat Cao's army. Therefore, the general thinks that our army will be the main force to attack Linyi. , and sent suspicious soldiers to attack Kaiyang." Zhou Cang said respectfully.

On the South Route Army, Lv Bu led fifty thousand Huben troops from Jiujiang County to Huaiyin, and the Three Route Army surrounded Xuzhou, vowing to completely wipe out the Liu Bei Group.

The army on the North Road is the commander-in-chief Zhao Yun, who led one hundred thousand martial arts troops to the city, and attacked Zaozhuang and Tan County, Donghai County, and went straight to the hinterland of Xuzhou. Liu Bei stationed [-] troops here, and built a city wall on this line, in an attempt to use the superior geographical location to resist Li Shimin's army. The attack was led by his sworn brother Zhang Fei.

Immediately, he rode out like a dragon and headed towards various places.

In fact, Guan Yu did not understand Li Shimin's next move. The military order he received was to stand still and monitor Cao Ren's movements at all times, not to act rashly, and let him wait for the opportunity and Li Shimin's military order.

"General Guan, the last general has a different opinion." After speaking, he walked out of the queue.

Guan Yu glanced at Liao Hua, and asked expectantly, "Oh, tell me about it."

In the camp of Guan Yu's middle army in Feixian County, a group of generals gathered together, eager to try.The deputy general Zhou Cang couldn't sit still for a long time, he stood up anxiously and said: "General Guan, when will you send troops? I have been guarding here for a year, and my heart is already itchy, haha."

Ten days later, Zhao Yun led his army to surround Tan County and besieged Zhang Fei Group in the city.

Li Shimin's army on the middle road was also in full swing. Liu Bei's army did not seem to resist. Huaibei, Xiaoxian, Tongshan and other places also surrendered one after another. Li Shimin soon killed Pengcheng and surrounded the fifty thousand troops led by Liu Bei in the city.

At this time, Liu Bei was also very anxious. He didn't expect Li Shimin to attack himself first, which made him somewhat unprepared. The news he received before was that Li Shimin was attacking Qingzhou, and he had already fought with Cao Cao in Qingzhou. He shouldn't be attacking himself within the time, which made him defenseless.

At this time, the only thing Liu Bei can wait for is Jiangdong Sun Jian's reinforcements.
