Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 753 Encirclement and Anti-Encirclement
Xu Shu, Xun Chen, and Yang Rui deduced several times. Zhou Yuan kept watching silently with his chin resting on his chin.

"Three gentlemen, are you missing something?" Zhou Yuan finally asked.

"Sir, please tell me." Xun Chen was a little surprised. The youngest Zhou Yuan was eager to learn, but he had never participated in military and government affairs, so he might have unique insights.

"Are you thinking of the bad side of things, but didn't expect the good side for me?" Zhou Yuan pointed to the map and said, "You see, after Cao Ren captured Dongping, he turned to the southeast to attack Lu County, attacking my rear, and our army was besieged. Du, isn't he in a lonely place? If our army attacks Dongping again at this time, together with General Yu Jin, Cao Ren will be trapped between Lu County and Dongping!" A circle between the three Yang counties.

The authorities were fascinated by the bystanders, Zhou Yuan saw something that Xu Shu and others did not see, and the three of them were stunned. This idea was too bold, and he couldn't help thinking about saving Zhou Cang and using Zhou Cang to carry out anti-siege on Cao Ren.Xun Chen secretly sighed, not to mention whether Zhou Yuan's plan is feasible, it is not easy because Zhou Yuan is so calm and bold, is this a good thing for Zhou Cang and Zhou Xin?
Yang Rui shook his head straight: "Although this strategy is clever, it is just too risky. The Duke sent out 3 troops, and distributed [-] troops to Zhuge Dan, with only [-] around him. Although they are all elite soldiers, he can stop Cao Ren and Niu Jin, Will Cao Zhang meet? If you can’t stop it, the Duke will be in danger. It’s better for General Yu Jin and the Duke to join together.” This is a risk that Cao Ren dared to take on Cao Zhang, but not Cao Pi. I dare not take Zhou Cang's risk.

Zhou Yuan didn't refute, and started not speaking again.

Xu Shu and Xun Chen looked at each other, and said slowly: "Your Master's plan is successful, Yanzhou can be settled, if not, it will be at a great disadvantage to me. In my opinion, Zhuge Dan and I can regain Dongping, and we will still join the Duke in Jin. Wu Gang has ensured that the roads in Lu County are unblocked, and then we can attack Cao Ren at that time, and we will be safe."

Xun Chen nodded and said, "It's very good that you can find another opportunity if you lose your fighter."

Rencheng is the feudal state of Cao Zhang, with Dongping in the north, Lu County in the east, and Shanyang County in the west and south.In the ban on the Western Expedition, Cao Zhang submitted a petition to fight, but Cao Pi refused, feeling very depressed.Next, Cao Hong went north and attacked Kelu County in Yujin. The two brothers Li Ji and Li Xu retreated to Rencheng, which made Cao Zhang even more annoyed, and often complained to Niu Jin.

Not half a month later, a soldier fled back from Dongping, uh~ not escaping, but returning with a full load, food and money, which made people mistakenly think that they had won the battle. After careful questioning, they found out that Cao Hong was defeated and his entire army was wiped out, and he died in battle.Cao Zhang broke out completely, arrested these deserters in the name of disturbing the morale of the army, and summoned Niu Jin, Li Ji, and Li Xu to see him, and wanted to seize Niu Jin's military power and lead the army himself.

How could Niu Jin agree? Without the edict of the Son of Heaven, it would be treason for the princes to seize the general's military power. He said to Cao Zhang: "The king is impatient. Why is the last general like this, but if the general wants to lead the army, he can't."

Cao Zhang saw that it was useless to force Niu Jin, so he had to say: "According to the rule, a lonely king cannot command troops, but if he wants to expand his garrison alone, the general will not stop him." If Niu Jin refused to agree, Cao Zhang had to draw his sword to face each other.

"In extraordinary times, the last general can be ignored, but when the Han army retreats, the king must hand it over to the general."

Cao Zhang was overjoyed, and immediately dispersed his family's wealth and recruited brave men from the village. All the young and strong people in the mansion were filled into the army, and a team of 3000 people was drawn up. Together with the 5000 guards, there were a total of 500 people. Thousands of people in poor health were handed over to Li. Brother, help defend.Cao Zhang loved horses at first, and there was an allusion about a beautiful concubine being exchanged for a good horse. He took out another [-] people to form a Qingqi and started training.Niu Jin led his army to Zou County to confront Yu Jin.

Ten days later, Zhou Cang went south from Dongping, conquered Wenshang and approached Rencheng.When Niu Jin got the report, he hurriedly abandoned Zou County and returned to Rencheng.Cao Zhang was furious again, with himself, Rencheng was as stable as Mount Tai, and rebuked Niu Jin for giving up the important land, but Niu Jin was full of grievances and couldn't say anything.

"Forget it, since you're going back to Rencheng, you'll fight against Zhou Cang alone." Cao Zhang finally had a suitable excuse to fight at his own door. "Shanyang Prefect Guanqiu Jian is the son of Wuwei Prefect Wuqiu Xing. He is known as a general. You can ask him to send troops to help."

Cao Zhang snatched another 1 horses from Niu Jin abruptly, and a total of 5000 people were killed and rushed to Fan County.Hearing that Tan Ma reported that Cao Zhang came to welcome him, Zhou Cang felt a sense of crisis inexplicably, and felt that something was wrong. When asked about Duan Muling, Duan Muling was a little confused: This is normal.

Zhou Cang tried to send Dianman to challenge him. He fought Cao Zhang for [-] rounds, but Zhou Cang ordered to withdraw his troops. "Cao Zhang is brave, and his men are all elite men. It is expected that Rencheng is already weak. Why don't we hold off on using troops and wait for Yujin to seize Rencheng."

Unexpectedly, after only one day, Zhuge Dan sent someone to report that Cao Ren attacked Dongping, but he couldn't stand it anymore and had to retreat to Jibei.Zhou Cang was shocked and understood where the sense of crisis came from. Cao Zhang blocked himself in Fancheng, and Yu Jin confronted Niu Jin in Rencheng. Cao Ren would most likely encircle Lu County and keep himself and Yu Jin here. will kill.

"It's not too late, I will quickly defeat Cao Zhang and join General Yu Jin!" Duanmu Ling said urgently.

"No hurry, let me think about it." Zhou Cang closed his eyes slightly, and opened them suddenly. "Decree to withdraw the troops tonight. Dianman will lead [-] troops to rush to attack Dongping first, and Zifan will stop you! Send someone else to tell him to abandon Rencheng and return to guard Lu County."

Zhou Cang believed in his intuition and judgment. He never thought that Cao Ren would take the initiative to attack. When Cao Ren found out that he was not in Dongping, he must know that he was going to Rencheng. Find a way to kill yourself.Then Dongping must be empty at this time, and since Cao Ren was transferred out of Dongjun, there is no need for him to continue to attack Rencheng. It is the best policy to take back Dongping and attack Nanjun.As for Yu Jin, it shouldn't be a problem to retreat to Lu County with his ability.

I don't expect to have a mobile phone, and there is no signal if I have a mobile phone. How much Zhou Cang hopes to have a walkie-talkie, even if there is a carrier pigeon. I hope Yu Jin can receive orders.

That night, the Han camp was brightly lit, and the Han army smeared and left the camp and hurried northward.Until dawn, Cao Zhang found that the Han camp quietly sent people to investigate and found that the camp was empty. Cao Zhang was afraid that there would be an ambush in Zhoucang, so he didn't dare to chase and turned back to Rencheng. When he learned that Cao Ren's army had passed Ningyang, he regretted it , if he got the news one step earlier, Zhou Cang would definitely not be able to leave.

Zhou Cang left, but Yu Jin was in trouble. He was entangled by Niu Jin in Rencheng, Cao Ren was attacking Zou County, and the distance between Rencheng and Zou County was cut off by Guanqiu Jian!
