Chapter 564

It took Zhang Yu less than a day to destroy the city. There were about 60000 troops in the city, but Zhang Yu's casualties added up to more than 4000.

After a long rest in it, Zhang Yu killed a nearby county.

It also took one day to capture the city.

In this way, the counties around Chaohu Lake were captured by Zhang Yu. The rest of the counties are far away, and Zhang Yu has no intention to attack for the time being.

On the way, sun CE and Zhang Yu received news that they were the first to launch an attack.

"Bofu, it's cheap for us. Zhang Yu attacked so early." Veteran Huang Gai said.

Zhou Yu was silent all the time.

Sun CE turned his head and asked Zhou Yu, "Gongjin, this Zhang Yu didn't make a surprise attack after we launched the attack. Instead, it gave us opportunities. But what's the plot?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Yuan Shu has known for a long time that we are going to attack him, and he is ready. But this time we sent troops secretly, Yuan Shu does not know when we will send troops."

Cheng Pu asked: "so what?"

"Whoever attacks first has the chance of surprise attack. Zhang Yu attacks Yuan Shu first and takes the advantage, but we lose the chance of surprise attack." Zhou Yu said.

"Hey, this Zhang Yu is really treacherous." Huang Gai said.

"Otherwise," Zhou Yu pondered for a while and said, "Zhang Yu leads the advanced attack, and Yuan Shu will naturally send a large army to encircle and suppress, which also gives us a lot of pressure."

In a word, there are advantages and disadvantages, but Zhou Yu still doesn't understand the purpose of Zhang Yu's doing this. If Zhang Yu chooses to attack when both sides are anxious, he can definitely get the maximum benefit. Zhang Yu's attack at this time is definitely not the most favorable time.

Sun CE, they don't understand what Zhang Yu is going to do, they can only continue to attack.

And Zhang Yu, they captured the county people next to Chaohu, and then disappeared.

"Move fast, we have to arrange it in one day, and build the camp in the other two places."

"Did the arrows from the rear come up? Let them speed up and bring more arrows."

"Wipe out all traces on the road, and send scouts to watch the area for 30 Li."

Zhang Yu orders again and again and starts to arrange nervously.

After capturing the city, Zhang Yu left and went to Chaohu Lake.

Chaohu Lake has many water systems and complex terrain.

It's too easy to hide a hundred thousand people in a lot of jungle, reed marshes and other places.

After they arrived here, Zhang Yu established a camp and transported a lot of materials from the rear.

Zhang Yu, they have been here for two days.

"Report Lord, the military division sent a message, general Ling Cao, they can arrive at the designated position tonight." The soldier reported.

Zhang Yu immediately spread out the map in his big account and looked at it.

Ling Cao is on the other side, tens of miles away from them.

"OK, keep in touch, just wait for Gao Shun to come." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu wants to set up an overall situation here and win Jiujiang county at one stroke.

When Yuan Shu's territory was attacked, he was very worried and angry, and immediately ordered the army to kill him.

In Xuzhou, Yuan Shu also occupied Huaiyin and other places. In Shouchun, Yuan Shu was planning to attack Cao Cao and Liu Bei's territory, but he was invaded by Zhang Yu.

Yuan Shu responded quickly and immediately organized 300000 troops to go south. In addition, soldiers from other counties also moved.

There are millions of people in Yuan Shu's army.

Zhang Yu pays close attention to all trends.

"Newspaper, Lord, general Ling Cao has taken people into Chaoxian fifty miles to hide." The soldier reported.

"Where is general Gao Shun?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"Lord, according to the distance, General Gao Shun, they still have two days to go." Asked the soldier.

"Let the scouts keep an eye on Sun CE immediately. I need to know their progress."

According to Zhang Yu's calculation, sun CE should have been fighting with them for a long time.

At this time, sun CE's progress was also very smooth. Although Yuan Shu made preparations, he did not complete them. The army was still training in Huaiyin and other places.

This is a mistake of Yuan Shu's estimation. They all thought that sun CE had just acquired weapons and equipment, and they had to train for three months to six months. What they didn't know was that sun CE's troops started training when they didn't have weapons and equipment.

Zhang Yu made preparations even earlier.

In this way, Yuan Shu underestimated, was hit a time difference.

However, the place of Poyang Lake is also a key defense area for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu bought it from Zhang Yu at a high price. Moreover, the place is a big grain producer, and the grain there alone is enough for Yuan Shu. Therefore, nearly 500000 troops were deployed in that place.

On the contrary, Yuan Shu deployed more than 200000 troops in Jiujiang County, most of which were second-line troops.

Zhang Yu suddenly attacked, attacked three ways, and soon captured half of the county.

Three soldiers and horses slowly gather around Chaohu Lake.

Two days later, Gao Shun arrived and immediately surrounded Chaoxian county.

Chaoxian county is next to Chaohu Lake. It is also a place for grain production, and Chaohu Lake has developed water system.

Gaoshun surrounded Chaoxian and did not rush to attack.

Zhang Yu and Ling Cao are on both sides, dozens of miles away from Chaoxian county.

It's not difficult to capture Chaoxian county. Although Chaoxian county has a good defense, it has more than 50000 troops, and all of them are well-equipped and well trained.

But Zhang Yu didn't want to take Chaoxian like this.

It's not difficult to capture Chaoxian county. Zhang Yubu's next bureau is for their troops in Jiujiang county.

Gaoshun surrounded Chaoxian County, but did not encircle death, but let go of a gate.

Outside Chaoxian County, Gao Shun asked the soldiers to camp and rest there.

Most of Jiujiang county has been occupied by Zhang Yu.

Chaoxian county was besieged by the army and was in great fear.

There will be a quick report of the nearest Hefei city.

In Hefei City, Yuan's generals made a mess.

They are arguing about whether to save Chaoxian.

"Chaoxian must be saved, otherwise Zhang Yu will drive straight into Hefei."

"It can't be saved. Sun CE is attacking in the south. Once we send troops, Hefei will be empty."

"The Lord has sent a large army to support us. Starting from Shouchun, we can reach Hefei City in three days. We should go to save Chaoxian first."

Several generals had different opinions. They argued endlessly and did not reach a unified opinion in the end.

However, they immediately reported the news to Yuan Shu and let him decide.

Yuan Shu is also in a hurry at this time. He has long received the news that sun CE and Zhang Yu may jointly attack him, so he has been training and making preparations recently, but Yuan Shu thinks that they will attack in two or three months. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu and sun CE have already killed him before he finishes his preparations.
