Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 76
In the hall of Dongmencheng County Government, Li Song summoned all the generals to discuss the next battle plan.

"Everyone! Please look at the map. Today, Yanzhou is basically occupied by our army, but Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'a are in the hands of Cao Cao. These three counties are like nails, and they are very bad in our eyes. It's comfortable, now I'm going to pull him out." Li Song pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said.

"Which city do you think our army will attack first, please tell us what you think about it."

"My lord! In my opinion! Our army should send troops to attack Juancheng first, then Fanxian County, and finally Dong'a." Gao Shun saluted with his hands clasped.

"Oh! Why?" Li Song somehow understood Gao Shun's meaning, but he still had to listen to him.

"Juancheng is the closest to Dongmin, and our army will soon be able to reach the city of Juancheng. Fanxian County and Dong'a are both far away from Dongmin. Our army can't stay close and seek far away, so we will go on an expedition."

"What's more, Juancheng is Cao Cao's stronghold. If we break through Juancheng, it will be a good blow to the morale of Cao Cao's army, which will benefit our army."

"What's more, now that Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'a are controlled by General Xue, our army's dispatch of troops to Juancheng can reduce the pressure on General Xue, and in this way, General Xue's strength to contain Fan County and Dong'e can be increased. .”

"At that time, after our army takes Juancheng, we can march into Fan County, and General Xue can also concentrate his forces to launch an attack on Dong'e. Fan County and Dong'e City will be available." Gao Shun moved his finger on the map, and spoke his mind.

"What Zhongda said is very true!" Liu Bowen admired, turned to Li Song and said, "My lord! I also agree with Zhongda's proposal. This proposal is feasible, but it still needs to plan the visitors in detail to be effective, otherwise, it will be just empty talk."

"I don't know what good strategy the military adviser has?" Li Song asked Liu Bowen with a slight smile after hearing this.

"I don't rush this matter for a while, let me go back and think about it, and I will definitely not disappoint my lord and everyone here." Liu Bowen said with a mysterious face.

"Okay! It turned out to be like this! Do you have any other opinions on this proposal?" Li Song looked around and saw that no one spoke, "No! Then let's go away! At the same time, he sent someone eight hundred miles to rush and tell Xue Rengui, our army has won a great victory."

"No!" Everyone stood up and said goodbye!backed out.

Dongjun, Xue Rengui's camp, in the camp of the Chinese army.

"Brother! Recently, Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'e have often sent people out of the city to harass our army. All our soldiers who were alone were killed."

"This has dealt a big blow to the morale of our army, and the morale of the army will not be stable in the long run! Brother, you have to think of a way." Zhou Qing complained to Xue Rengui.

"Zhou Qing, ask people to take extra precautions! Try not to act alone. Now is an extraordinary period. My lord is fighting with Lu Bu in Dongmen City. We need our army to contain Cao Cao's army." Xue Rengui said.

"Yes! I'll make arrangements now!" Zhou Qing said, turned and left.

In Juancheng, Cao Cao's counselor Xun Yu, generals Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren gathered together to discuss.

"Wen Ruo! Xue Li has stepped up his defense recently. Our army's stragglers have no chance to harass them. How about we go out of the city and fight him?" Cao Ren revealed his thoughts when he saw Xun Yu.

"No!" Xun Yu directly vetoed his idea, "Our army is less than [-], but we have to defend Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'e. If we rush to send troops, we will only be defeated by them."

"Then what do you think we should do now? Just sit here and do nothing?" Cao Ren said.

"That's right! Now, Li Song is leading the army to attack Lu Bu. I am afraid that it will not be long before they can break through Dongmin City. When they join forces, we will be in danger." Xiahou Dun also stood up and chimed in.

"Your worries! I naturally understand, but if our army confronts them head-on, we will only suffer losses."

"I've sent a letter to my lord by flying pigeons! Tell him to return to the army quickly, and it won't be too late to send troops again." Xun Yu said.

"And I've already sent someone to contact Yuan Shao to join forces with him to fight against Li Song. Presumably he doesn't want to see Li Song grow stronger and threaten Yuan Shao."

"That's fine, but I don't know when the lord will come back." Xiahou Dun asked.

"Hurry up! My lord travels day and night, and I'll be back in just a few days!" Xun Yu said with a smile.

"At that time, we will be able to defeat Li Song with Yuan Shao and Lu Bu on three sides!" Xun Yu's plan may work, but it is a pity that he does not know that Lu Bu has escaped from Yanzhou and Dongmen City has been captured.

It's hard to say whether he can wait until Cao Cao's return, not to mention, Yuan Shao may not agree to send troops, his old neighbor Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is still on the sidelines misbehaving Jizhou.

Jizhou, Weijun, Yecheng.

"Xun Yu sent a letter saying that he wants to fight Li Song together with Lu Bu and me. What do you think about this?" Yuan Shao said to everyone present.

"My lord! I don't think so?" The counselor Shen Pei stood up and said, "Li Song is powerful. If our army joins forces with Xun Yu, Li Song will definitely be annoyed. Bingzhou is next to Jizhou."

"Li Song can summon troops in Bingzhou at any time. If he joins forces with Gongsun Zan, Jizhou will be in danger. Please think twice about this matter!"

"This is Xun Yu trying to weaken our strength. Why don't we send troops to help Li Song defeat Lu Bu and let him fight Cao Cao by himself, and I will reap the benefits of the fisherman, wouldn't it be better?"

"The judge is right! Just do as he said." Yuan Shao said.So Yuan Shao sent [-] good generals to assist Li Song.

This matter was known by Lu Bu's spies, who flew to report to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was shocked when he heard about it!He hurriedly called Chen Gong to discuss.

"We can't go to Yuan Shao, is there a good place to go to Gongtai?" Lu Bu hurriedly asked when he saw Chen Gong.

"I heard that Liu Bei has newly acquired Xuzhou. Judging by Liu Bei's reputation, he will definitely accept us. We can go and join them in order to make a comeback." Chen Gong pointed out a clear path for Lu Bu.

"Okay! Just follow what Gongtai said! Let's go and seek refuge with Liu Bei." Lu Bu actually agreed with Chen Gong's opinion!He took his subordinates and his family and went to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei.

In Dongmen City, in the school grounds, the general will be on the stage.

"Xiang Yu!" Li Song shouted, and Xiang Yu came out, "I order you to lead the [-] troops in the vanguard and march towards Juancheng." After Xiang Yu received the order, he stood back to his position.

"Zhang Liao, Gao Shun!" Li Song called out their names again, and the two came out, clasped their fists together and saluted, Li Song continued, "I order you two to lead the left and right troops, each with [-] troops." After the two received their orders, Stand back to your position.

"I will lead an army myself, and I will hold back the rear army. The army will move out immediately, attack Juancheng, and destroy Cao's army."

After a night of rest, Li Song's army pointed directly at Juancheng.
