Chapter 1006: The Final Battle

Zhang Yu advanced slowly and was attacking Lu State in Yuzhou.

Cao Cao ordered the surrounding troops to support, to block Zhang Yu here.

Zhang Yu also ordered the troops from Qingzhou and Jizhou to come over.

The armies of both sides assembled here.

More and more troops gathered.

Zhang Yu ordered the army in the rear to build more siege equipment.

Soon, Cao Cao discovered this problem, and Zhang Yu was going to fight him here.

This is a very serious matter.

Cao Cao was about to hand over Xuchang to Cao Ang who had returned, and personally led his civil and military officials to rush over.

At this time, even if Cao Cao wanted to avoid it, it was impossible. There were already more than 200,000 troops there. Unless these more than 200,000 troops were put in danger, he could only send more troops there.

Zhang Yu also transferred Tai Shici over.

Cao Cao continued to receive information on the road, and he was also urgently mobilized on the road.

On the way, Cao Cao held a meeting, and said, "Zhang Yu's sudden decisive battle with us is really unexpected."

"Everyone, what can I do?"

The situation is critical, Cao Cao is of course very anxious.

All civil and military officials are also very helpless.

"My lord, although we have a city wall for defense, the county city can only accommodate more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. When we go there, we need to fight Zhang Yu outside the city." Cheng Yu said.

Cheng Yu's words made everyone think deeply, and after a while Xun You said: "Zhang Yu is rich and powerful, and has strong mobilization ability. They transferred some troops from Youzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou. Once the war starts, our follow-up troops may not be able to keep up. "

At this time, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses passing by were already under Zhang Yu's soldiers. Zhang Yu surrounded the city, that was a bloody battle to the end, and outside the city, it was a decisive battle.

Zhang Yu expanded his army to two million, and he had soldiers and horses in his hands.

In fact, Zhang Yu didn't want to launch a decisive battle when the soldiers and horses were not yet mature, but the information Ma Yunlu gave him really made him have to do so.

Ma Teng and others really want to use the power of the Roman Empire to fight for hegemony, that is, they start hoarding food and grass.

Although according to Zhang Yu's estimate, it will take two years for them to complete the preparations, but it will be difficult to unify China, let alone two years, five years or even ten years.

Therefore, Zhang Yu decided to launch a decisive battle to consume his own foundation and complete the unification ahead of schedule.

The army had already moved to the outskirts of the capital of the state of Lu, Zhang Yu set up a large camp there, and was not in a hurry to attack.

This will be a decisive battle.

Qingzhou killed most of the soldiers and horses, and some of the soldiers and horses from Jizhou also came, and Xinbeiping directly dispatched half of the soldiers and horses.

Only 30,000 people were left in Shenyang City, and then the surrounding militiamen were recruited to participate in the defense.

At this time in Shenyang City, there was not much threat from the north, so Zhang Yu dared to let these soldiers come out.

Soldiers from all walks of life gathered.

Cao Jun was preparing nervously in the capital of Lu State.

They received Cao Cao's order and knew that there would be a decisive battle here.

If you can't escape, or if you escape, you will lose more, Zhang Yu will continue to go south and west, and continue to look for opportunities for a decisive battle, so if you can't avoid it, then fight.

Historically, Cao Cao fought a decisive battle with Yuan Shao for two years.

At this time, it depends on who is clever or well-prepared.

Zhang Yu is not Yuan Shao, so he is not so easy to deal with. Cao Cao personally marched and led the army northward.

Cao Cao brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and at the same time mobilized several soldiers and horses from around.

However, most of his soldiers and horses were transferred to the Western Front, which was relatively tight.

It is not so easy for Zhang Yu to mobilize troops,

It also takes a certain amount of time.

Cao Cao was discussing matters in the big tent, and everyone felt that it was difficult to deal with.

Xu You said: "Meng De, let's go to Sun Ce for help and let him attack Jiangdong. Otherwise, this battle will be difficult. The important thing is that we will be extremely weak after the war."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's right, but Sun Ce's ambition is in Jingzhou, and Zhang Yu still has a heavy army in Jiangdong, and Cai Mao is holding him back. I'm afraid Sun Ce will not agree easily."

Most importantly, what price will Cao Cao pay?

This time it is not a simple assist, but a corresponding price.

"Meng De, Zhang Yu can mobilize more than 500,000 troops. If he fights us all, then his enemy will be only us. He can recover quickly, but if he loses 500,000, there may be loopholes everywhere. It was taken advantage of by other princes." Xu You said again.

Indeed, Zhang Yu is not the only enemy around Cao Cao.

At least Luoyang's Xiliang army has a certain strength, and Jingzhou can also attack them. Once Cao Cao is really weak, even his quasi-ally Sun Ce may attack him.

"Okay, then the king will send someone to ask for help." Cao Cao felt that the hope was not great, the question was what would they use to impress Sun Ce.

It is obviously impossible for Sun Ce to send troops in vain.

Cao Cao made various preparations while marching along the road.

Zhang Yu has already built half of the big camp, and sent cavalry to move around the capital of Lu every day.

In addition, Ling Cao trained troops around the barracks, and the newly recruited troops were still undergoing relatively high-intensity training.

If you can't fight these days, then you can't be idle these days, and you still have to train.

Zhang Yu's army slowly assembled, and at this time there were already 350,000 troops.

"Stop troop training, and besiege the city in three days." Zhang Yu calculated that the troops on the road would probably arrive one after another after they launched their attack to make up for the exhaustion of their troops.

At this time, Zhang Yu's army only had 50,000 Fusang troops, 200,000 Fusang troops and 100,000 troops were on the western front, and tens of thousands of troops were still training in the rear, but they had already set off.

In three days, the soldiers had enough rest, so they surrounded the city.

When the city is surrounded, it is a duel of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Zhang Yu personally led an army of 200,000 troops, assisted by Ling Cao.

The army surrounded the city.

However, Zhang Yu was still not in a hurry to attack.

He sent men to build defenses around.

Yes, the siege also needs to build a defense, but the defense is not the army in the city, but the army that Cao Cao is about to arrive.

Cao Cao's soldiers and horses also came from other places one after another.

The armies of both sides are gathering.

Zhang Yu didn't prepare a lot for the defense. Anyway, he didn't want to fight Cao Cao in the city. His army would naturally intercept their soldiers and horses in the distance.

Building defenses is just to prevent accidents from happening.

All the people in the world looked sideways, the two princes were going to have a decisive battle.

This came a little suddenly.

The situation in the world became treacherous again.

Zhang Yu surrounded the capital of Lu, and Cao Cao was still a few days away.

The army can move quickly, but it dare not be too fast, and it is easy to be ambushed.

At this time, Zhang Yu was ready.

"Ling Cao, you will lead the siege battle. One principle is that you should kill as many enemies as you can. This battle must make Cao Cao completely weak." Zhang Yu said.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and Zhang Yu and Cao Cao can only have the most intense duel.
