Volume II Conquest of Jiangdong] Chapter [-], Xi Zhicai's backhand——

Chapter [-]: Xi Zhicai's Backhand

Yang Hong waited for Yuan Shu's cheerful laughter to stop, and then continued the topic just now: "My lord! I have some good news! The Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army's Zhang Yan Division suffered heavy casualties after the battle between Zhending, Zhongshan and Yuan Shao.

All the ministries have collapsed, and there are about [-] people under them, including Mustache Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qing Niujiao, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Digen, and Yu Du. Now they have retreated to the Weijun area.

Some of them also sent messengers, willing to serve the lord.We also agreed to cross the river from Baimajin in Liyang and attack Cao Cao's Dongjun Puyang City directly eastward when our army launched an attack.

Help us cut off his food supply, so that Cao's army can't look at both.Such a great victory for the lord can be expected! "

Yuan Shu's plump and ruddy face showed a look of surprise: "God help me too! Haha, it seems that Cao Mengde is really doomed to perish!

OK!Well, in this way, the strength of our army has doubled, with 20 people against Cao Cao's 5 people.hum!This general wants to see how capable Cao Mengde's general is! "

Taking advantage of Yuan Shu's happy mood, Yang Hong said, "It's just my lord, this group of people also asks my lord to accept them!"

Yuan Shu lowered his head and thought for a while: "Mmm! The Yellow Turbans came just in time, and they should be resettled after the war. They came from Jizhou originally, eh! Alright, when Cao Mengde is eliminated, they will be rewarded according to their merits. For partial generals, deputy generals and so on, they were sent to garrison Jizhou.

Haha, when Cao Cao is eliminated, we will be able to teach Yuan Benchu ​​a lesson in that bullying slave! "

"My lord is wise! This is the real strategy, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away! With this strong support, we will surely win the victory and wipe out the insurgents. In time, this world! Ah! Haha"

The triumphant laughter of the two filled the entire tent again.

~~~~~~~~~

Compared with Yuan Shujun's relaxed and happy, Yanzhou Daying is very serious now.

Xi Zhicai looked at the opposite side coldly. In the vast wasteland, Yuan Shu's soldiers began to line up like a sea of ​​people. It is estimated that at least 5 troops were dispatched.

Thinking of the camp with only [-] soldiers and horses behind him, his slender brows tightened.

"This time, Yanzhou has mobilized all the troops that can be mobilized, and assembled a full [-] troops. It is just to defeat Yuan Shu's Yangzhou army in one fell swoop. Yanzhou has reached the edge of life and death crisis.

If the biggest foreign trouble, Yuan Shu, who came to attack again and again, could not be beaten and defeated.Once the news of the food shortage is exposed in the future, I am afraid that there is no need for the enemy to attack, and everything in Yanzhou will collapse.

The lord only brought 5000 people into the big camp yesterday, but only half of the original people slept in each tent.Along the way, when the soldiers were marching, they also intentionally increased the distance between them and added more stoves.

This makes it look like 5 people on the outside.In fact, adding the original 5000 people of Xiahou Dun's vanguard army, there were only [-] in the battalion.

The other [-] soldiers and horses, except for the [-] rear army led by the school lieutenant Han Hao, are responsible for escorting food and grass.

The others were divided into five groups by Xi Zhicai. After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, they quietly set off from Juancheng, advanced from different routes, and copied Yuan Shu's back route.

Among them, the three groups of [-] people were led by Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun as the main force.They were planning to attack Yuan Shu's rear formation from three directions, in order to disturb the morale of the army, so that Yuan Shu didn't know how many soldiers he had, and completely destroyed their fighting spirit.

Sima Lejin and Li Dian each led 5000 guerrillas of the former army and were responsible for attacking Yuan Shu's army grain road.Make every effort to block Yuan Shu's reinforcements and material support from all parties.

If the situation is not unexpected, they will also be thrown into the attack on Yuan Shu in the end.This battle must be decided quickly, and the situation in Yanzhou can't be delayed.

The 2000-man cavalry unit led by Cavalry Captain Xia Houyuan is known as the Flying Army.

They will go to the vicinity of Yongqiu, Yu County, and Jiwu in the south of Chenliu at the speed of "five hundred in three days, and one thousand in six days". reinforcements.

Today's Yanzhou counties and counties are basically defenseless. There are no more than 2000 left-behind troops in each county, and there may be less than a thousand people in the county.Fortunately, there is no chaos now, and Yuan Shao in the north is an ally, so there is no need to worry about surprise attacks.

And Xuzhou Tao Qian's [-] soldiers and horses are still watching the battle from a distance.Coupled with Yuan Shao's containment in the Qingzhou area, Tao Gongzu, who was born as a scholar, did not dare to give up the defense of his own state, and entered Yuzhou to actively help Yuan Shu attack.

His participation in the war is basically a role of fueling, which is optional.

Of course, the necessary precautions are still necessary, as long as an elite army is set up in the east of Yanzhou to block him, it is enough to prevent him from driving straight in.It is not difficult to hold him back. After the battle of Kuangting is over, he can be dealt with slowly.

"All the backhands that can be used have been laid out, and the rest is up to God to help!"

Xi Zhicai took one last look at the enemy's camp, and then at his camp that had been fully set up.Turning his back and entering the tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao was sitting on the seat, watching the latest enemy and our military situation just reported by the scouts.Discussing something with Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin who were standing next to each other with the map.Seeing Xi Zhi came in, smiled and waved to him.

"Zhicai, you came at the right time! Come, come, come! Here is the news that our army's scouts just delivered. Zixiao and his three teams moved quite quickly. Yesterday the three armies have reported back and are about to reach the attacking latent position. We can launch a joint attack. Do you think we can go to war now?"

Xi Zhicai smiled: "Master, do you really want to go to war right away?"

"Those who know me are wise and talented! Yuan Shu's army is powerful and has a high fighting spirit! Our army first arrived on the battlefield today, so we rested in the camp for a day. Let the soldiers recharge their spirits and fight again tomorrow. Tomorrow, Zixiao , Zilian and the others are almost ready."

Wen Ze!You are good at defense, so I will leave it to you to take charge of the camp defense! "

"This subordinate obeys the lord's order! This subordinate will make arrangements!"

Seeing Yu Jin with a calm face turn around and go out of the tent, Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled: "If you have papers, you will defend the camp! Our soldiers can rest peacefully for a day. Yuan Rang! You are not as good as Wen Ze when it comes to defense, but when it comes to rushing into battle Fighting Wen is not as good as you!"

Hearing Cao Cao's praise, Xiahou Dun felt a smug look on his face: "Cousin, oh! My lord has given you too much credit. It is Dun's duty to kill the enemy before the battle!"

"Well! Good! Yuan Rang, you also go to arrange for the soldiers to have a good rest. Tomorrow, you will have your bravery and destroy the enemy in front of the battle!"

"Dun, take orders!"

Seeing that the mighty Xiahou Dun was also ordered to leave the tent, Xi Zhicai lowered his voice: "My lord, the situation of our army is very bad!"

Cao Cao's round face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly twitched.

Stretching out his hand and rubbing the space between his eyebrows, he said in a painful tone, "Zhicai! Apart from the shortage of food and grass, is there any bad news?"

"My lord! Zhicai sent out the four brothers of Captain Mojin from Jiuli Mountain years ago. Combined with the reports from the original scouts who inquired about the news, it can be seen that Yuan Shu is also putting all his eggs in one basket this time, wanting to defeat us in one fell swoop.

He dispatched at least 12 main force, plus [-] to [-] grain transportation teams, divided into ten teams to continuously transport grain and grass for him from Yuyang and Yangzhou.

Captain Miaocai's attack on the food road, the battle to disturb the enemy's prefectures and counties may be very difficult! "
