mtl008 Chapter 151
Chapter 151
After accepting the Chen Palace, the ruthless strategist group under Gu Yi’s account was expanded again.
But.
There is a saying.
All the kind of strategists who seemed to be a little problematic in character to outsiders were all under Gu Yi’s account.
For example, Jia Xu, Zhang Song, Fazheng, Cheng Gongying and others.
In history, the reputation of these people can only be said to be understood by everyone.
But under Gu Yi’s tent, several people were like fish in water.
It’s like beating chicken blood!
Why is this happening?
Because Gu Yi gave them what they wanted most.
For example, Jia Xuan old fox.
There is no big demand for their official positions and titles.
But for the two unfilial sons in the family, he is extremely attentive.
Therefore, all Jia Xu made meritorious contributions.
Gu Yidu gave the reward directly to Jia Xu’s son.
In this way, how could Jia Xu’s old fox not do his best?
Another example is Fa Zheng and Zhang Song.
Both of them aspire to a bigger stage to showcase their talents.
But in the original history.
The two stayed under Liu Zhang’s tent for nearly twenty years, and after years, they never achieved anything big.
Therefore, Gu Yi gave them the opportunity to show their talents.
Maxima is often there,.
Whether it is Fa Zheng or Zhang Song, they are full of gratitude and admiration for Gu Yi.
……
According to the captured soldiers, Cao Cao had four or five days to travel at most before he reached the city of Chen Liu.
On this expedition to Xuzhou, Cao Cao did not lose too many soldiers.
On the contrary, towards the end of the campaign, Cao Cao was joined by Zang Ba and 40,000 elite Taishan thieves.
The remaining total strength is roughly around 120,000 people.
These 120,000 people, although quite a few.
But the soldiers available in Gu Yi’s hands are not much less than Cao Cao.
Not to mention.
Gu Yi still had 20,000 Xiliang Iron Riders in his hands, and the winning face was even greater than Cao Cao.
Besides.
Zhao Yun and Lü Bu had previously rushed to Xuzhou with 30,000 Western Liang Iron Horses and Hezhou Wolf Horses to support the pottery merchants.
Although the two did not engage Cao Cao head-on.
But at this moment, he must have already been with the Tao Chamber of Commerce.
If Cao Cao is sane.
At this moment, the best option should be to leave Yanzhou immediately with the remaining troops.
Instead of exhausting his troops, bearing the risk of being caught between Gu Yi and Lü Bu and Zhao Yun, he continued to return to attack Chen Liu.
……
Xuzhou
Xiaopeicheng
With the retreat of the Cao army, the important town of Xiaopei was recaptured.
But at this moment, the banner hanging on the upper floor of Xiaopeicheng is the Zhao Zi Big Banner and the Lu Zi Big Banner.
When Gu Yi attacked Yuzhou and fought Xiahou Yuan.
He ordered Lü Bu and Zhao Yun to lead a part of the cavalry to break through Yuzhou first and rush to Xuzhou to support the potters.
But because the war went too well.
Gu Yi not only defeated Xiahou Yuan, but even planned to go further north to attack Yanzhou Chen Liu.
This caused Lü Bu and Zhao Yun to arrive in Pengcheng before they could fight Cao Jun.
Cao Cao had already led his army out of Xuzhou.
Afterwards.
Zhao Yun, Lü Bu and the Xuzhou army headed by Cao Bao, Chen Deng, and Mi Zhu formally met with each other.
Although Pengcheng was still handed over to Chen Deng and the three to garrison.
However, the gateway to Pengcheng, the military town of Xiaopei, Zhao Yun and Lü Bu, took it over.
At this time.
The two are discussing the next battle plan.
“Zilong, how about you and I chase directly behind Cao Mengde’s house and fight on both sides with Linzhi?”
Lv Bu pointed to the map on the table and said to Zhao Yun with a fluttering eyebrow.
Since the reform of the military system, Lü Bu was no longer the leader of the Dong Zhuojun and prefecture factions.
His identity has changed into the commander of the general of Zhengbei and the wolf horse of 10,000 Hezhou!
But for such a change, Lv Bu enjoyed it.
He was not the kind of material to be a lord.
As a martial general, fighting on the battlefield and living a happy life is what Lü Bu dreams of.
Moreover.
Gu Yi fulfilled his promise to Lv Bu.
Whether it is Zhang Liao Gao Shun of the Union Prefecture Department, or Cao Sex, Hao Meng and others.
After the reform of the military system, the status and the degree of reuse have been greatly improved compared with before.
The ordinary soldiers of the state department were also treated fairly.
No longer suffer discrimination from the Western Liang clan because of his origin in Union Prefecture.
As the saying goes.
A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.
Although Lü Bu has long passed the age of standing.
But he was happy every day.
Don’t worry about all kinds of trivial things.
On the contrary, the more you live, the younger, the healthier you live.
Even his martial arts have been refined to a certain extent.
And Zhao Yun, who was sitting next to Lu Bu.
Compared to the youth when he first met Gu Yi five years ago, he has already transformed into a majestic silver-armored general!
Since they are all from Hebei, they are all cavalry commanders.
In addition, martial arts are the top existence under Gu Yi’s account.
Between Lv Bu and Zhao Yun, the friendship is not bad, it can be regarded as quite a relationship.
Now.
Hearing Lu Bu’s idea, Zhao Yun shook his head and said with a smile:
“General Fengxian, you can’t become a fat man in one bite.”
“If Mr. Linzhi really captures Chen Liu.”
“I think it is unlikely that Cao Mengde will continue to go back and fight with Mr. Linzhi for Chen Liu, but will instead move north towards Qingzhou.”
Compared to the impulsive Lü Bu, Zhao Yun obviously has a higher degree of control over the situation.
At this time, the two of them had not received news that Gu Yi had captured Chen Liu.
But with Zhao Yun’s understanding of Gu Yi, it was impossible for Gu Yi to fight an uncertain battle.
Therefore, in Zhao Yun’s eyes, eight or nine are not far from ten, and Chen Liucheng will definitely soon become Gu Yi’s bag.
If only Cao Cao learned the news of Chen Liu’s fall.
There should be no more competition for Chen Liu.
Instead, change a base to preserve the living power in your hands.
“Alas, alas, Zilong, then what do you say we should do?”
Lu Bu touched the back of his head and asked Zhao Yun.
Lü Bu’s personality is very different from the original history.
Now he is no longer so arrogant and stubborn.
Be able to humbly accept other people’s suggestions.
Lv Bu also knew that Zhao Yun had more brains than him.
Therefore, although in terms of official position, Lü Bu’s general Zhengbei was slightly better than Zhao Yun’s general Zhennan.
However, this military operation, Lü Bu was headed by Zhao Yun.
“General Fengxian, you and I have the most elite cavalry in our hands.”
“In that case, why don’t you rush to Cao Mengde’s necessary road to Qingzhou in advance?”
“At that time, even if Cao Mengde still has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, he will lose his combat effectiveness because he is tired of hurrying.”
“You and I will be able to make a miraculous achievement if we wait for the opportunity to lead the army to kill!” (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
When Zhao Yun said this, Lu Bu was instantly moved.
Although the cavalry unit is not so convenient to siege the city, the field battle is invincible.
At this stage, Cao Cao has lost his old nest of Yanzhou, and the biggest reliance in his hands is the remaining army.
Without these troops, no matter how powerful Cao Cao’s personal ability was.
The choice left for him is probably to go north to Yuan Shao.
After all.
The Yanzhou family led by Xun Yu, after Gu Yi’s round of blows, the blue bar has been exhausted.
The help they can provide to Cao Cao next will be very limited compared to before.
Just do what you say.
After deciding on a combat strategy.
Lü Bu and Zhao Yun led the Western Liang Iron Horse and the Hezhou Wolf Horse to the north, rushing to the junction of Qingxu and Xuzhou.
……
meanwhile
Yanzhou border
Cao Cao saw Xun Yu, Cao Ang and others who were fleeing from Chen Liu.
I saw Xun Yu come to Cao Cao’s side and said with a guilty face;
“Master, the subordinates are ineffective.”
“Gu Linzhi got the help of Chen Gongtai, and the inside and outside should be combined.”
From Xun Yu’s mouth, Cao Cao learned that Chen Liu had been lost.
Hearing this, I saw that his eyes were dark.
The pain caused by the head wind disease also swept through the whole body at this moment.
Cao Cao almost fainted in pain.
Fortunately, Cao Cao’s determination was strong enough, which did not allow the head wind to completely crush him.
When Cao Cao’s health was slightly better, the strategists hurriedly surrounded him.
“Lord, Gu Lin’s momentum is great.”
“The remaining strength of our army does not occupy any advantage compared to Gu Linzhi.”
“For now, we should seize the time to go north, use Qingzhou as a base, and reorganize the force to resist Gu Linzhi.”
Xia Zhicai, Guo Jia, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others all put forward such views in unison.
Cao Cao turned to look at Xun Yu, who also nodded heavily.
Abandoning Yanzhou is really a helpless move.
But if you don’t give up Yanzhou.
With the strength of Cao Cao’s hands, I am afraid that it is impossible to get favors from Gu Yi.
Moreover, Cao Cao now has only such a small family base in his hands.
If it is all folded, simply he will wash and jump into the Yellow River!
Therefore.
Even if everyone in Cao Ying was helpless in their hearts.
But he could only be forced to accept the fact that the old nest Yanzhou had been captured by Gu Yi.
“Lord, stay in the green mountains, don’t be afraid of no firewood.”
Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Li Dian, Li Tong, Lü Qian, and other military generals also hurriedly came to Cao Cao’s side and persuaded Cao Cao to evacuate in the direction of Qingzhou.
Several battles came down.
The generals of Cao Ying suffered heavy attrition.
Yu Ban had already surrendered to Gu Yi after the failure of the second coalition of princes against Dong Zhuo.
Lejin died in Runan.
Xiahou Wei, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong had all become prisoners.
As for the remaining Cao Ying martial generals.
Although the ability is also indeed there.
For example, Cao 750 Ren, who can be called a master of defensive warfare, is one of the most stable generals in Cao Ying.
In the original history, Cao Ren held Nanjun with a weak force and resisted Zhou Yu for a year and a half.
He even personally led his troops to rush into Zhou Yu’s army formation many times, killing three in and three out.
Therefore, the original historical Cao Ren was known as the “posture of heaven and man”.
And Cao Ren’s own brother Cao Chun was the future leader of the Cao Ying Tiger and Leopard Rider and was deeply trusted by Cao Cao.
Li Dian was a well-known Confucian general in the Cao camp.
If it weren’t for the fact that he died shortly after the Battle of Xiaoyaojin in history, I am afraid that his name would even appear among the five good generals.
Of course, even if you can’t become a good general of the five sons.
With Li Dian’s seniority in Cao Ying and Cao Cao’s trust, his status would definitely not be low.
However.
Compared to Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong and others, these martial generals will undoubtedly not be so reckless in personality.
But it is also precisely because it is not reckless.
At this moment, they chose to collectively admit and persuade Cao Cao to give up fighting for Yanzhou and go north to Qingzhou instead.
Cao Cao’s heart was full of reluctance and hatred.
Almost immediately, he could become a great prince across the three prefectures of Yanyu and Xu.
But now, any of these three states will no longer belong to him.
On the contrary, Qingzhou, which suffered from the remnants of the Yellow Turban, was poor and weak, and became the only place Cao Cao could occupy.
“Withdraw the troops.”
“Soon, Cao Mou will come here again with you.”
Cao Cao sighed.
Of course, Cao Cao is also a person who can afford to put it down.
Although abandon the old nest Yanzhou.
For him, it was tantamount to stabbing him in the heart.
But at this moment, only by abandoning Yanzhou can we find a glimmer of life for more than 100,000 Cao troops.
Otherwise.
Don’t look at Cao Jun, there are still more than 100,000 horses.
If he really fights with Gu Yi, the chance of winning is definitely not more than 10%.
After all.
In addition to Gu Yi’s headquarters soldiers and horses.
Zhao Yun and Lü Bu’s 30,000 elite iron horses have also been watching.
What did Cao Jun take to fight Gu Yi?
One for one?
I’m sorry, whether it is quality or quantity, Cao Jun is not Gu Yi’s opponent.
Even if all the more than 100,000 people under Gu Yi are finished, they can still redeploy troops from Luoyang or Chang’an.
But if all of Cao Cao’s soldiers died, the only option left for him was really to go north to Yuan Shao.
