Yes, the whole war is to follow Zhang Yu's rhythm.
In the beginning, Zhang Yu formed a coalition to fight the Yangtze River.
After that, all sides made efforts to make Yuan Shu almost into a situation of no soldiers available.
After that, Cao Cao announced the dispatch of troops and the general trend came.
Zhang Yu immediately adjusted his rhythm and even changed his purpose.
Before, Zhang Yu's goal was to destroy Yuan Shu and carve up Yuan Shu.
But after Cao Cao came, Zhang Yu didn't want to destroy Yuan Shu, and even wanted to protect Yuan Shu.
Therefore, Zhang Yu would like to go to the rear of Cao Cao.
However, Zhang Yu never suffered losses. Although he wanted to protect Yuan Shu, he had to squeeze out enough benefits.
In other words, this Yuan Shu is almost drained by Zhang Yu.
He believed that if he broke into the rear, Cao Cao would withdraw.
But Zhang Yu has a good time.
Just entering Yanzhou, Cao Cao immediately attacked CAI and followed Yingshang.
There is a price to be paid for a strong attack or a fierce attack. It is at the cost of increasing casualties.
After that, Zhang Yu began to plan to go to Xuchang, which also has a time gap.
In this time difference, Cao Cao will make a wrong judgment.
Sure enough, Cao Cao immediately began to attack Shouchun city.
Shouchun is the home of Yuan Shu. It defends nature well.
Therefore, Cao Cao naturally made a fierce attack.
In the hall where Cao Cao stormed Xuchang, there were seven or eight people sitting, all of whom were Yuan Shu's confidants. It was not easy for him to discuss such news publicly.
There is no way for people to come up with a clue.
Finally, Yang Hong came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a message that my subordinates have not reported. Now I think it can prove it."
Yuan Shu white Yang Hong one eye, what thing dare not report unexpectedly, this is the crime of deceiving the king.
However, at this time, the whole force was in great danger. Punishing Yang Hong would make people panic, so Yuan Shu did not attack.
"Your Majesty, I met Guo Jia when I was sent to Jiangdong. Guo Jia and Yan Ming, originally their goal was to destroy us, but because Cao Cao was appointed to be in charge, Zhang Yu didn't want Cao Cao to take credit for it, so he wanted to tear it down. "
"I thought it was just Zhang Yu's intention to blackmail us, so I didn't dare to report it to your majesty, but now the situation seems to have changed."
After Yang Hong's report, Yuan Shu knew why he didn't dare to say before.
Zhang Yu is too much to see, and he doesn't pay attention to himself at all.
How dare Yang Hong report to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu's face was livid, then turned red, and finally turned livid.
He was an emperor with millions of troops, and finally became a bargaining chip for several parties.
Yuan Shu felt that he was the prey, and was manipulated by several hunters at will, which made Yuan Shu, who had been very proud since he was a child, unbearable.
"So it seems that Zhang Yu really wants to go deep into the rear of Cao Cao, and even to enter Xuchang." Yuan Shu concluded.
"Your Majesty, this is an opportunity. We are ready in advance. When Cao Cao retreats, we will attack him suddenly and inflict heavy damage on him. We will tell the world that our strength is still there, and let the four sides be afraid of us." Yang Hong came out and said.
Yuan Shu agreed on the spot.
Immediately, the order passed to Ji Ling.
"Fight back?"
Ji Ling was shocked when he received the news of the counterattack. He quickly came down from the city and went to find Yuan Shu to confirm.
After confirmation, Ji Ling was a little excited.
As a general, as a general, from the beginning was pressed to fight, Ji Ling is also very depressed.
Cao Cao has a large number of generals. This time he sent out a large army and brought two-thirds of the generals. Only a few generals Cao and Xiahou can't be dealt with by Ji Ling, so he hasn't gone out to fight generals.
Now the opportunity has come.
"Go up to the wall."
"Go to the warehouse and get 100000 arrows."
"Let the archer not save his arrows. Give me as many arrows as I have."
After coming back, Ji Ling immediately gave several orders.
Let his subordinates, such as deputy general to command, Ji Ling himself to prepare for the counterattack.
On that day, the defense in the city suddenly strengthened, and Yuan's army attacked fiercely, which made Cao Cao lose a lot.
That day, just after half a day, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses lost more than ten thousand, which made Cao Cao's flesh ache.
"Zhongde, there is a way to break the gate quickly. I'm always uneasy." Cao Cao called Cheng Yu alone and said.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Shouchun is the last resort of Yuan Shu. They must stick to it. It's impossible to break it in a short time. If the Lord gives his subordinates three months, they are sure to break Shouchun city at the cost of less casualties."
Cao Cao was very disappointed. He himself understood that it was very difficult.
There was no way. Cao Cao stormed for another two days in a row. However, during these two days, Yuan Jun's morale was much higher and his counterattack was fierce.
At first, Cao Cao thought it was Yuan Shu who came to the city in person, and then promised something, or reward the army and so on.
In two days, Cao Cao lost nearly 30000 people.
In these two days, Cao Cao personally went to the battlefield every day to supervise and observe the battlefield.
That day, he had just returned from the battlefield to his big account.
Cao Cao has been frowning and worried.
After the night, Cao Cao also has been sitting alone in the big tent, nothing big, don't let his subordinates disturb him.
The more I think about Cao Cao, the more uneasy I feel.
In this expedition, they were forced to accomplish their combat objectives quickly, so many methods were not available, and they lost a lot.
If you have time, attack slowly and get everything ready, the loss can be reduced to less than half.
"No, what's wrong?"
"After going out, I feel that everything has a sense of urgency, as if the rhythm has been pulled."
When Cao Cao thought of it, he could not sit still and paced back and forth in the big tent.
"Ta TA ~"
In the distance came a dull sound of footsteps, which made Cao Cao's heart tremble.
It's not good news that the footsteps are in such a hurry.
"Report Lord, urgent intelligence."
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the anxious voice of the soldiers came from outside the tent.
After being nervous, Cao Cao calmed down.
"Present it." Said Cao Cao.
The soldier entered the big account, gave Cao Cao a piece of information, and then stepped down to wait.
"Ah, Zhang Yukeng me." After reading the information, Cao Cao yelled.
The soldiers and several guards outside the tent were startled. They seldom saw Cao Cao's gaffe.
