"It's hard to have Yanzhou if Xu Rong doesn't die!"
In Jiyin County, Cao Cao's army counter attacked the Yanzhou united army, but Li Dian, who was in charge of grain transportation, was ambushed by Xu Rong, a Chidu captain of Yanzhou united army. He lost 7000 units of grain and killed more than 1000 soldiers.
Li Dian was not captured by Xu Rong.
In the summer, Liang worshipped Xu Rong as a cavalry commander, and came to support Yanzhou united forces to suppress Cao Cao, which achieved great results.
Xu Rong's outstanding performance made use of his superior forces to add a lot of trouble to Cao Cao, greatly delaying the speed of Cao Cao's March.
In particular, Xu Rong's special attack on grain road made Cao Cao in a passive position.
Now Cao Cao is no longer the original lengtouqing, and has gradually become a hero with a team of elite veterans.
Even so, Cao Cao was still tortured by Xu Rong.
With Pang Juan as the infantry commander, Yanzhou allied forces confronted Cao Cao, while Xu Rong and other cavalry generals attacked Cao Cao's flank or grain channel, trying to force Cao Cao to withdraw and prevent Cao Cao from unifying Yanzhou.
Prince Wen of Jiyin county still did not give up the idea of competing with Cao Cao for Yanzhou.
During this period, Zhou Yafu and Zhou Cang led 40000 troops, with Xiliu camp as the core, and started from Pengcheng to attack Peixian (Yuzhou peiguo) and Fengxian (Yuzhou peiguo), which were the two counties of Xuzhou pastoral expansion, and opened the channel between Xuzhou and Jiyin County of Yanzhou.
Xiaopei belonged to the Pei state of Yuzhou, but it was sandwiched between Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou. It could threaten the three states and was the place where strategists had to contend. Therefore, many battles took place around Xiaopei in the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lv Bu and Yuan Shu all attacked and stationed Xiaopei.
Xia Xia Liang realized the importance of Xiaopei, so he sent Zhou Yafu to attack Peixian County in the name of supporting Yanzhou allied forces, and by the way, defeated Fengxian County to gain the bridgehead of Yanzhou or Yuzhou.
After capturing two counties, Zhou Yafu's Army established supply lines, and then sent troops into Jiyin county.
Cao Cao faced unprecedented pressure.
With Zhou Yafu's 40000 Xuzhou troops supporting Yanzhou soldiers, Cao Cao wanted to fight the two states with the strength of one county.
"In this way, our army will be destroyed."
Cao Cao marked the March routes of all kinds of soldiers on the map, of which Zhou Yafu's army brought the greatest threat.
Zhou Yafu's army is a new force full of troops, without loss. Once Zhou Yafu arrives in Dingtao, Cao Cao's strategic intention to capture Dingtao will undoubtedly be shattered.
The encirclement was ineffective. First of all, Dingtao's Yanzhou allied forces were numerous, and Cao Cao did not have any extra troops to support the city at the same time. Secondly, his troops may not be able to beat Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu fought steadily, and the probability of being ambushed, schemed and confused was extremely small.
If you want to defeat Zhou Yafu, you can only fight him head-on.
Xu Rong's Yanzhou cavalry made up for Zhou Yafu's disadvantage of having only a small number of Xuzhou cavalry.
Therefore, Cao Cao's situation was worse than he thought.
"Maybe this fashion is not a good opportunity to attack Dingtao. The Lord can divide his troops to attack Chenliu county. Chen Liu lacks a prefect, and the alien Lord is weak. According to Dongjun and Chenliu, it is connected with Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in the South and Liu Dai and Bao Xin in the East, which can break through Chu's plot. "
Xunyu, the master of the plan, proposed the technique of combining vertical and horizontal movements.
"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are mortal enemies. How can they travel at the same time?"
"Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with Chu zimou at hulaoguan, and had a long history of hatred. Moreover, Chu Zimu was young enough to serve as a herdsman in Xuzhou. He was equal to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. The latter was not in the right mind and was willing to attack Chu Zimu. "
It is not only Cao Cao and Xun you who are thinking about how to break the game, but also the players who are in high positions in the Cao Cao camp are trying to reverse the victory and defeat for Cao Cao.
"It is said that xiapixiang is going to Dingtao to command the Yanzhou allied forces to launch a second attack on us."
"Zhou Yafu's army will arrive soon. Our chances of winning are slim."
"How about the estrangement plan?"
"The estrangement plan is basically useless for xiapixiang. She is a player, knowing that the probability of Zhou Yafu's mutiny is very small, and she won't be hit at all. Only a few incompetent princes will do so. "
"How about sending assassins to assassinate Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, and Liu Chong, the king of Chen, and seize all their troops? In this way, we can at least get Jibei state, Shanyang County, Chen state, have the ability to compete with Chu Zi. These prefectures fell into the hands of the incompetent Prefects. It was just a waste. If these forces are under the control of Cao Cao, they will be able to play a huge combat effectiveness. "
The player who once assassinated Chen Liu's prefect Zhang Miao once again proposed to use this unconventional means of assassin to seize control of the nearby states and counties.
The rest of the core players who took refuge in Cao Cao had never thought of carrying out such a large-scale assassination.
This time, the target is a few prefects, even the governor, the royal family!
The purpose of the assassination was to let Cao Cao control the above counties and expand his territory.
The reason why Cao Cao was detained by Yanzhou allied forces was that his territory was too small and his troops were insufficient. He used the strength of one county to fight against several counties at the same time, which was the limit.If Cao Cao could control half or even most of Yanzhou, it would not be the case.
"The relationship between Cao Cao and Bao Xin is not bad. If we assassinate Bao Xin, it may lead to Cao Cao's dissatisfaction or distrust of us."
"You worry too much. Cao Cao is an owl hero. Now he is suffering from being unable to break the game. If he can win through the means of assassination, it's better. What about sacrificing a bauhine? After Bao Xin's death, Cao Cao could get the loyalty of Yu ban. He will only open one eye and close one eye, and maybe he will promote us afterwards. "
"Zhou Yafu's army brings too much pressure. Maybe you can try your assassination plan."
The interests of this group of players are tied together with Cao Cao's forces. They act as officials under Cao Cao's command, or command the music. They also consider problems from the perspective of Cao Cao.
If we can successfully help Cao Cao expand by assassinating them, they will probably rise in the tide.
"It's better to send assassins to assassinate Zhou Yafu or that xiapixiang. It's cool in summer. As long as they die, Xuzhou's civil strife will be broken immediately."
Some players put forward more adventurous assassination plans.
When a man is angry, his blood splashes five steps. Assassins can sometimes change the course of history.
Now Xuzhou is in charge of the internal affairs in the cool summer, and Zhou Yafu is going to attack Yanzhou. As long as these two figures are assassinated, the pressure brought by Xuzhou will naturally be relieved.
"Not right. It's just a conventional struggle between us and Chu Zi. We are Cao Cao's subordinates, not Lords. Even if we are defeated, as long as we surrender, he will let us go. But if we use unconventional means to annoy Chu zimou, once he gets angry after he comes back, and he slaughters the city when he crusades against Yanzhou, we will be miserable. What's more, there must be a large number of guards around Xia Liangliang and Zhou Yafu. It's hard for the assassin to succeed. On the contrary, he will be hated by the other side. "
Soon, this group of still sober players gave up the idea of assassinating Xuzhou high-level.
The success rate of assassins is limited, and they turn normal fighting into deadly enemies.
They chose to be Cao Cao's ministers rather than set up their own homes, and most of them cherished their own lives.
If one faction falls down, they can change to another, but once the Lords and princes are defeated, it is hard to say what will happen.
They didn't know that their decision had avoided bringing slaughtering to Yanzhou.
Cao Cao's army began to change the strategy of attacking Jiyin County, and led by XiahouDun and XiaHouYuan, they quickly took Chenliu County, cleaned up the alien lords of Chenliu County, and turned Chenliu County into its own territory.
Cao Cao's players also began a large-scale assassination operations.
Baoxin, the Prime Minister of Jibei who trusted Cao Cao, was unprepared. When patrolling nearby, he was attacked by more than ten powerful doormen and assassins, and was killed on the spot.
It is said that it was done by a small group of cavalry of Xu Rong, the cavalry commander of Yanzhou united army.
When Cao Cao learned of this, he declared martial law and did not eat for a day.
He had already realized who was instigating the assassination of Bao Xin, but he did not punish the people behind him, but acquiesced in such behavior. Because his favorite General Yu Jin lost his allegiance to Cao Cao. At the same time, Cao Cao annexed Bao Xin's troops and horses and controlled most of the territory of Jibei.
His influence expanded from Dongjun to Chenliu County, Jibei County, and several counties of Jiyin county. His living space was greatly improved, and the situation that his power was about to collapse was reversed.
Cao Cao was also more aware of the importance of land and population. More talent, more territory.
After Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of northern Hebei Province, was ambushed and killed, the news came that Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was assassinated.
According to the latest information, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, were killed in the attack. Cao Cao claimed that it was our Xuzhou army who did it. Cao Cao got tens of thousands of troops and horses, and was able to recover his vitality, and actively expanded outward while encircling Dingtao. "
At this time in xiapi City, cool summer learned that Cao Cao changed his strategy, not eager to eliminate childe Wen, but actively expand, Liu Mei a Cu.
She soon understood that it was Cao Cao himself or his subordinates who really ordered Liu Dai and Bao Xin to be assassinated.
She could not turn a blind eye to Cao Cao's active expansion: "when Zhou Yafu lifts the siege of Cao Cao's army on Dingtao City, I will go to command Dingtao city in person. Only by attacking Cao Cao can he be forced back to Dongjun again. "
……
On the battlefield of the national war, Chu Tian successfully joined with Hu Ma, the prefect of Taiyuan county. Now his camp has seven cities, and the anti Eastern Han alliance is also the force of seven cities.
There was no difference in the number of troops between the two sides.
The only thing that bothered the Eastern Han camp was probably the war elephant troops of chadili, the first lord of the Mughal Empire.
Several lords of the Eastern Han camp discussed how to defeat the enemy in the city.
"The other side has heroes who specially give war elephants bonus. Their war elephants are invincible, and even fire arrows can't make them furious. You still give up the idea of fighting with him and guard the city well. War elephants will not climb the wall. They can't break the city, they'll retreat soon. And let me go. "
Yekaterina poured cold water on the three lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"What would you do if your cavalry met a war elephant?""Cutting off their supply lines, of course. The elephants move slowly and consume a lot of food and grass. If they come to the plains of Eastern Europe and I delay them into winter, all of them will die
"Winter in Moscow, no solution."
Chu Tian and the other two Eastern Han lords knew how terrible the winter was in Moscow.
Countless conquerors fell to Moscow.
The Mongols suffered great losses in Moscow, especially Napoleon.
And the local people are fierce.
"Destroying each other's food supply may be an effective way," Hu said. But in order to attack the city, they have transported the food from the surrounding cities to their camp, enough for them to spend more than a month. Are you willing to delay more than a month to confront them? The time of the national war is not long, and other lords may catch up in this period of time. "
Huma's consideration is not unreasonable.
During the confrontation between them, the Roman lords had a tendency to catch up.
The Lords of the Arab Empire and the Persian Empire are also taking advantage of this opportunity.
If Chu Tian used attrition war to confront the anti East Han Alliance for a month, his ranking would fall out of the top ten.
"Maybe we don't have to think too much, just use normal fire attack. You should understand what I mean, my servant Ekaterina
Chu Tian knows that she also has the characteristics of suppressing other nationalities.
The characteristics of the two men are enough to make the war elephant in the opposite feel scared, plus the fire attack
Yekaterina was seen to have characteristics, but a cold hum, did not answer Chu Tian.
What she got was a czar. The Czar drove the Cossacks and some nomadic tribes to work for the Empire, but also had the ability to suppress other tribes.
Chadili alliance, as the leader of the alliance, is trying to lure Chu Tian to fight head-on.
He wants to beat the combination of Chutian and yekaterina as soon as possible and win seven cities in the West. By then, he will be the first in the national war.
Only in the face-to-face decisive battle can his war elephant troops exert their real destructive power.
"My advice is to avoid a showdown. As long as we watch the change, Chu Zimu and yekaterina will surely fight against each other. "
Pinghu City Lord Ping Yisheng and Takeda's family minister Takeda Zhongyi learned that chadili wanted to fight a decisive battle with Chu Tian and came to dissuade him.
"I have sent people to the Grand Duchy of Moscow to persuade yekaterina to betray chuzimou, but my envoy was killed in the barracks of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and there was no news. Yekaterina is obviously firmly standing in the camp of Chu zimou. "
When he mentioned this matter, he was angry.
He didn't know that yekaterina was captured by Chutian, but in order to protect yekaterina's safety, Sophia, the deputy, ordered to kill the ambassador of Mughal in India. Instead, Ekaterina became the person carrying the pot.
"If yekaterina firmly stands in the Eastern Han camp, it is not suitable for a decisive battle."
"I have made up my mind. You can see that I have defeated the Eastern Han army."
Chadili was indifferent to the advice of the Japanese Lord.
"So you don't have to fight for the first chance. But I have a chance to be number one. How can I delay here? "
Sadiri watched the two Japanese lords leave.
Pingyisheng and Takeda Zhongyi came out of the camp of chadili.
"It is a waste of fertile soil for such a group to rule the Indus and Ganges plains. Sooner or later, he will become a prisoner of Chu Zimu. "
"We will withdraw as soon as the situation is not right in wartime."
