Chapter 519 Guan Yu's prestige

"Jia Rong of the Xiliang Army, it is not what our army can fight against now. The only thing is to point the soldiers at Yan Rou of Youzhou. Recently, I heard that there are many Wuhuan rebellions in Youzhou. The army is fighting back and forth, and the soldiers are exhausted. It is a good time. If you can pacify Youzhou in one fell swoop, what will the Cao army be afraid of?" Xu Youdao.

Yuan Shao was about to make a final decision. Tian Feng advised, "Lord, no, Youzhou Yanrou is also a very human. At the beginning, he was able to defeat Gongsun Zan with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. His strategy and courage can be seen. If he rushes troops, he will definitely offend Yan Rou. He needs to plan carefully."

Xu You pointed to Tian Feng and scolded, "Lord Tian, what do you mean? Can't the master even defeat even the little Yan Rou? Don't forget that if it hadn't been for the Lord's soldiers to send Youzhou, how could Yan Rou have had today's situation? Then Yan Rou was nothing more than that. Gongsun Zan's strongest white horse fell from the hands of the master, let alone him?

Yuan Shao stared at Tian Feng with an unhappy face and said, "In the next day, 100,000 soldiers and horses will be sent to Youzhou, and order General Gao Lan to respond in Zhuo County!"

"No!"

After everyone left, Tian Feng looked up to the sky and sighed. Under Yuan Shao's account, the most unlucky thing was to know Xu You. This man's heart is narrow-minded and good at clapping horses. Tian Feng was quite disapproving. Because of this, Xu You also did everything right with him. Today's matter, Xu You must have seen that Tian Feng's plan was to send troops. Instead of disarmament, he immediately jumped out and blocked Tian Feng's words in his mouth, which made Yuan Shao misunderstand. His counselors could not work together. Tian Feng even vaguely doubted whether such an army could last for a long time, but it firmly occupied his mind from the beginning to the end. Naturally, there was no word about job-hopping. He could only work together to assist Yuan Shao. I hope to gain an advantage on the battlefield in Youzhou.

"Yuan Hao, don't care. How can the master be a narrow-minded person? In today's matter, Yuan Hao is also dedicated to our army. If the lord thinks about it later, he will not blame you." Ju Shu persuaded him.

Both of these two people have a bad temper and can't rub sand in their eyes, but the way they speak is not as good as Xu You, so they have real materials, which is not as good as Xu You's treatment in the army.

Jizhou Yuan Shao sent 10,000 troops to Qingzhou and another 100,000 troops to Youzhou. The princes in the world moved again, just because Jia Rong led the army to attack Bingzhou. Today's situation is only temporarily stable. However, all the people with insight began to plan for the things behind him. The Emperor of Han had no more princes worth relying on. Of course, you have to think about it.

Let's say that Cao Cao attacked Pengcheng all the way. Seeing that the soldiers were well-equipped, and the general of the defenders was Guan Yu, he had already had a plan in mind. Guan Yu was a general. As long as the soldiers came forward and scolded, there was no need to worry that he would not go out of the city to fight. At that time, he only needed the army to cover up and he would be able to capture Guan Yu alive, and Peng Cheng would not attack and break himself.

"A letter to invite the defenders in the city to fight!" Cao Cao said.

Guan Yu looked closely at the invitation letter in his hand, frowned more and more, and suddenly said angrily, "Cao Cao, I really think our army is easy to bully!"

Zhou Cang, who was beside him, advised: "General, don't be angry. There are 100,000 people in Cao's army, while our garrison is only more than 30,000. If you stick to the city, it is difficult for Cao's army to do anything. Cao's move is just to anger the general, so as to attract the general out of the city to fight."

Guan Yu looked at Zhou Cang in surprise. He thought he was a reckless martial artist before, but he didn't expect to have a lot of insight. "Zhou Cang, I order you to lead 5,000 people to guard Pengcheng and wait for General to win."

Zhou Cang opened his mouth and waited for further persuasion. The general beside him touched him gently and suddenly said, "Thank you, General, for your trust. I will definitely defend the city wholeheartedly and live up to the general's trust!"

Seeing Zhou Cang's interest, Guan Yu's face showed a little joy. He wrote a letter and agreed on the time and place of the invitation, as well as the number of people.

In order to end the war as soon as possible, the two armies often use the invitation to fight and find a place to solve the battle. However, in this case, there are often two sides with equal strength, dispatched tens of thousands of troops, and the daily consumption of countless food and fodder materials is countless, and the princes can't afford it.

But there is not enough strength. The weak often rely on the city wall to fight against the strong, and the art of war are surrounded by ten. That is to say, if you want to capture a strong city, you must have at least ten times the strength of the defenders to have a chance of winning. This is only a theory of numbers.

The banners are beckoning, and the soldiers are under pressure. The two sides send 5,000 people at the same time to fight. In this battle, the sky and the earth are dark, the sun and the moon are not light. The Cao army is the elite, and the Xuzhou army is also not bad. What's more, Yu is led by the fierce general.

On the battlefield, Guan Yu personally led hundreds of cavalry to kill Cao's army. Like a sharp sword, he tore a big opening for Cao's army and went straight to the Chinese army. In terms of strength, he had a treasure knife. Guan Yu's strength rose by more than one, and there were few enemies after looking at Cao's army.

The most indispensable thing in Cao Cao's hand is the general. If one can't beat you, I can use two or even three, and drag you to death.

The Chinese flag of the Cao army was in front of him, but Guan Yu had to face the intrusion of three generals. These three people did not seek to make contributions, but blocked Guan Yu and did not let him advance.

In terms of the strength of the soldiers, Cao's army has always been strong. It is very happy to fight between the two sides on the battlefield, but at a close glance, you can see that the Xuzhou army is already at a disadvantage and is struggling to support the Cao army's offensive. If it hadn't been for the rush of the army led by Yu here, the soldiers in the rear would have given up the resistance. Unlike the Xiliang Army, once the army of the princes of the Central Plains is defeated, the soldiers must want to escape immediately, not desperately, so that the green mountains do not worry about firewood. The green mountains of the soldiers are their strong bodies. As long as the people are still there, they don't have to worry about the army. This is also the poor treatment of the princes of the Central Plains to the soldiers. The number of soldiers is large, and there is a lack of enough land to govern, so we can only start with the treatment of soldiers.

Seeing this, Guan Yu was anxious. The occupation between the two sides was a gentleman's battle. Cao Cao would certainly not cheat, not to mention that there were 20,000 troops behind Guan Yu. How could he be afraid of Cao Cao?

He rose up bravely. The Qinglong Yanyue in Guan Yu's hand cut three times in a row. The knife light flashed, and the weapon in a general's hand was broken, and I was also cut off.

Seeing the death of their companions, the other two generals looked at Guan Yu with a trace of fear. The weapon in Guan Yu's hand could cut off the weapon in the general's hand. What kind of magic weapon was needed to do this? The general asked himself that the weapon in his hand could not withstand such an offensive.

With a little fear in his heart, he gave Guan Yu the opportunity to continue to rush and resolutely led the cavalry to kill the Cao army. The flag was close at hand, and excitement flashed in Guan Yu's eyes. As long as the other party's flag was cut off, the battle would be their victory.

"Guan Yu, don't be rampant. Let's see that Grandpa Xu will meet you!" It was Xu Zhu, who held a long knife and killed Guan Yu. Since the last time the general suffered losses in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao ordered the blacksmith to build a good weapon, and the fierce general's weapon was replaced, which also made Xu Zhu's confidence soar.

Guan Yu's eyes tightened, and the long knife in his hand waved at Xu Zhu. It seemed to be light, but in fact it contained a thousand power.

Xu Zhu didn't expect that Guan Yu would make such a move. In a hurry, he raised his knife to meet him. Looking closely, there was a soybean-sized gap on the blade. When he looked at the treasure knife in Guan Yu's hand, the scorching heat in his eyes could be imagined.

With a cold snorting, Guan Yu was unrelenting and continued to kill Xu Zhu. He was more fierce than one move, and he retreated Xu Zhu's pressure steadily. The flag of Cao's central army was also successfully captured under the charge of the cavalry.

The victory has been decided, and Guan Yu withdrew his army with satisfaction!

Seeing that his own army and Cao's army returned from a great victory in the battle, the defenders of Pengcheng rushed to tell each other. Even the people in the city were happy when they heard the news. Cao Cao's style at the beginning made the people afraid. In troubled times, the people wanted to live a stable life. When they saw Cao Cao's arrival, how could they not hurt their hearts? Liu Bei also grasped this point and let his people under him publicize the brutality of Cao's army in those years. Cao Cao's image in the hearts of the people of Xuzhou can't be worse. Although Cao's army attacked Xuzhou this time, there was no excessive action, but once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the well rope, under the rule of Cao Cao. Living is somewhat uneasy.

Seeing Guan Yu's victory, Zhou Cang's face was slightly ugly. The previous words were not true. I don't know what Guan Yu would think of him.

Cao Cao did not have the look of a loser on his face at all. Instead, he comforted Xu Zhu. "The sword in General Xu's hand was destroyed again, and he was ordered to build it again the next day. I heard that the weapon in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hand came from the Chang'an craftsman's workshop. Jia Rong and I are old, and maybe we can get one or two."

When the generals heard the words, there was a burning light in their eyes. There was no general who did not love the divine soldiers. No matter how high Guan Yu's martial arts skills were, without the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, his martial arts skills would also be greatly reduced. Once Guan Yu was blocked, the remaining Xuzhou soldiers were not worried. In today's battle, the generals in the army were vivid and completely relying on Guan. Yu's bravery won.

The failure of the first battle between the two armies seemed to have no impact on Cao Cao. His face still maintained a wise color, and his eyes flowed, which was eye-catching. At this moment, Cao Cao was undoubtedly the most attractive. He was serious and did not pay attention to failure. This is the temperament that the coach on the battlefield should have.

After everyone left, Xi Zhicai said, "Master, Guan Yu has always had a strategy and is calm. Will he be fooled?"

"Ha ha, there is no reason to be arrogant when the army wins. What's more, Liu Bei's army and our army have a great resentment. When Guan Yu sees something that can be done, he will definitely do his best to attack our army." Cao Cao laughed.

Seeing that Cao Cao's analysis was reasonable, the counselors in the account made suggestions one after another. They began to plan Cao Cao's plan. There are many differences from Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Under Cao Cao's command, as long as you have a plan, Cao Cao will give you the opportunity to show, which is also The reason why Cao Jun has so many talents.
