Chapter 862

Zhang Liao is making a plan to stop the troops in Xuzhou so as to solve the war as soon as possible.

"Attack Beihai state with all our strength, occupy Beihai state before Xuzhou soldiers and horses arrive, and then we can easily mobilize our troops and horses, which is not easy to be found." Zhang Liao decided to say.

Zhang Liao quickly assigned the task to him.

Donglai county is now the Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, no enemy, Zhang Liao does not have to deploy too many troops.

The army of Beihai state was about to withdraw, and Zhang Liao occupied Beihai state without much effort.

Another big county was occupied. Half of the whole Qingzhou was occupied by Zhang Yu's army, but it would take some time to take the whole Qingzhou.

Yuan's army would resist, and with reinforcements, it was not so easy to defeat Qingzhou.

When Zhang Yu attacked Qingzhou, yuan Shaofang was naturally very nervous, but Cao Cao was also nervous with them.

As soon as Cao Cao heard Zhang Yu's attack, he couldn't sit still and gathered his advisers in Xuchang.

This time, Cao Cao called in his core advisers.

Cheng Yu, Xun you, Xun Yu, Xu you, Jia Xu, man Pang, and Cao ang were also present.

Cao Cao said anxiously: "this Zhang Yu is really hidden deep. In Jiangdong, he has withdrawn all his troops and horses, and started a war in Qingzhou."

Cao Cao asked: "if Zhang Yu occupies Qingzhou, it will pose a great threat to us. Should we send troops to seize Qingzhou with Zhang Yu?"

Yanzhou is on the edge of Qingzhou, bordering on Qingzhou. If Zhang Yu occupies Qingzhou, Yanzhou will be under his army.

Finally defeated a Yuan Shao, and then came a Zhang Yu, this let Cao Cao how can't stand.

"Wen Ruo and Zhong De, whether they can gather a batch of grain and grass, our Treasury is empty, but this battle has to be fought." Asked Cao Cao.

Cao Cao fought such a big war. He won. His strength soared, but his family was exhausted.

There is no way to fight without money and food.

So what Cao Cao asked was not whether he should fight or not, but whether he had money or grain.

Today, Xun Yu is the chief steward of the whole force. Xun Yu is in charge of money and food.

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Lord, don't mention fighting. It's hard to increase so many troops to maintain the normal expenses. If it's not for the myriad of things now, my subordinates will ask my Lord to go to those aristocratic families to borrow some money and food in advance."

Cao Cao laughs bitterly, and his family is not rich enough to fight.

The same is true in history. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu, and accepted a number of his troops. His strength soared, but he still waited a long time to attack Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places.

The biggest reason is that there is no money and food.

Cao Cao was bitterly astringent in his heart. He could not move because he had no money and food.

"What can I do, gentlemen?" Asked Cao Cao.

Jia Xu said: "Lord, you can gather a few days of money and food first and transport them to the front line. Then you can ask Jiangdong to borrow some grain and grass. Then Lord will come forward to borrow some from other aristocratic families."

It has become a consensus to intervene in the battle of Qingzhou. No one doubts the importance of Qingzhou. If Qingzhou is occupied by Zhang Yu, they will have a headache.

At that time, we should guard against both Jiangdong and Qingzhou.

The most important thing is that if Zhang Yu occupies Qingzhou, he can encircle Jizhou. It will be more difficult for them to attack Jizhou.

Cao Cao has his worries. If Zhang Yu occupies Qingzhou and gains a firm foothold in Qingzhou, he will be greatly affected or even unable to attack Jizhou and Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu can threaten his rear from Jiangdong or Qingzhou, making him as if he were on his back.

The whole strategic situation is very disadvantageous to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has hundreds of thousands of troops, plus some garrison troops, which add up to one million troops.

"Ang'er, how is the training of tiger and leopard riding?" Cao Cao suddenly changed the subject and asked Cao anglai.

Cao ang said bitterly: "father, the heavy armor has not been finished yet. Half of the people have no armor. In addition, the horses are reluctant to choose 50000. But if they really want to go to the battlefield, they must have two horses and one man to play their fighting power."

Cao Cao sighed in his heart that he had no money after all.

He wanted to train a strong army, so he let Cao ang set up hubaoqi.

But he expanded his army very quickly, and his money and food couldn't keep up. The equipment of tiger and leopard riding was three times the price of other ordinary troops, so he really couldn't afford some equipment.

This is not a war horse. The war horses needed by tigers and leopards should be carefully selected, which makes it more difficult.

"Zhongde, you immediately send an envoy to Shouchun to find sun CE. You need to borrow food." Cao Cao finally decided to say.

Cao Cao decided to send Cao ang to lead 100000 troops to attack Qingzhou and prevent Zhang Yu from taking it.

This has a great influence on Cao Cao and is related to the overall strategy.

Cao Cao has equipped Cao ang with excellent troops. Of course, tiger and leopard riding is not suitable for attacking.

There will be Xu Chu, Zhang Yan, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun and Zhang Xiu. These six powerful fighting forces are absolutely luxurious.

In addition, Jia Xu and Xun you accompanied him to give Cao ang the best configuration.

Cao Cao has many generals, but the internal forces have been reorganizing and need a lot of talents.

Not to mention anything else, it will take many senior generals to bring down hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops and reorganize them.

Cao Cao's action was very fast. After the arrangement, he sent troops three days later, but they carried little food and grass, which was only enough for a few days. Cao Cao forced them out.

Cao ang sent troops from Yanzhou, which is a huge variable, so Qingzhou will be a tripartite scuffle.

Zhang Yu, who is on the road, is also surprised to get the news.

Zhang Yu ordered a rest and then slowed down.

This sudden change makes Zhang Yu think about it.

"Zilong, we have brought hundreds of talents from Jizhou and their families with us. Now it seems that we have to separate." Zhang Yu said.

You can't fight with them.

"Lord, please take them back, so that they can take charge of the overall situation and hold down Cao Jun." Zhao Yun said.

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Zilong, don't worry about it. Find a place to hide first. Give you 30000 soldiers and horses, and have a chance to cut off Cao Jun's food supply."

Zhang Yu didn't know that Cao Jun was short of food, but he also knew the reason of cutting off food.

After cutting off the grain supply, Zhang Yu just wants to hold back Cao Jun's pace and doesn't want them to make trouble.

Zhang Yu began to divide his troops. He took 20000 troops and left them to Zhao Yun.

After Zhang Yu's division, Ju Shou and Tian Feng became interested. When they had a rest, they found Zhang Yu and asked, "I don't know what happened when the Lord divided his troops?"

"A hundred thousand troops of Cao Cao are coming." Zhang Yu did not hide, said directly.

They were curious. After an analysis, they knew about Cao Cao.

Ju said: "Cao Cao is basically forced to send troops. If the lord controls Qingzhou, he can basically threaten Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou. At that time, he will restrict Cao Cao everywhere. It's strange that Cao Cao doesn't work hard with the Lord at this time."
