Chapter 1019: Cao Cao's Conquest

Zhang Yu mobilized his army and began to attack.

On the western front, Zhang Liao slowly pushed over with an army of 200,000.

On the eastern front, Tai Shici also led 200,000 troops to attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Yuzhou in Taishan County and the Lu State area.

But the other armies and other generals all refused to speak, which put great pressure on Cao Cao.

Under such a situation, Cao Cao was also very uncomfortable.

The eastern front was fine, and Cao Cao mobilized elite troops to deal with it. On the western front, Cao Cao felt powerless.

Cao Cao asked Cao Ang to lead an army to the northeast of Yanzhou to fight against Tai Shici.

Start to move you, Zhang Yu himself is still in Xinbeiping, but he is already thinking about where to attack.

Zhang Yu was in Xinbeiping, and the cabinet met again.

"The fight has already begun. Our entire army is ready. This king has decided to personally lead the army to attack Jizhou." Zhang Yu said.

But Gu Yong said: "My lord, now we are strong and strong, and we don't need the lord to go out in person. The young masters are still young, so it's better for you to sit in Xinbeiping."

Zhang Yu gave birth to several sons and daughters, but he deliberately let them fade out of the palace and live in a manor in the countryside.

But Zhang Yu protected them very well. Some soldiers disguised themselves as villagers to secretly protect them, and the intelligence personnel never let strangers approach them.

Zhang Yu's children can get access to the best education, and at the same time, they can play and live with ordinary people and children from ordinary families.

"Don't worry, this king will not joke with his own life. As long as Jizhou is captured, our strength will skyrocket and we will look down upon the princes of the world."

Today, Zhang Yu has not yet occupied the core area of ​​China. For China in the past, Zhang Yu’s territory was all frontier land, but Jizhou is definitely the center of gravity of the world. Occupying Jizhou is not only a surge in strength, but also a status in the hearts of the people of the world. It also changed all of a sudden.

Zhang Yu was very concerned.

The occupation of Jizhou means that Zhang Yu officially entered the Central Plains, and his status in the hearts of the people of the world immediately changed.

Things will be different then.

This is of course a later story.

Several people couldn't persuade Zhang Yu, so they could only let Zhang Yu do it.

"My lord, my subordinates believe that the lord can find the right time to surprise Yecheng. As long as Yecheng is defeated, everything will become easier." Guo Jia said.

Yecheng is definitely the biggest problem that Zhang Yu and the others will face.

Cao Ren stationed 200,000 troops there.

With an army of 200,000 and the defense of Yecheng, the siege for a year may not be successful.

Zhang Yu also wanted to surprise Yecheng.

"Hehe." Zhang Yu smiled wryly and said, "You guys are just afraid that I will take risks, so let me wait quietly. This Cao Ren is not a fool, and it is not so easy to sneak attack."

Guo Jia smiled, he really meant it, but it is not impossible to attack Yecheng, there is still a chance.

"Jizhou must be captured as soon as possible. This is very important. Cao Cao may also fight us in Jizhou. This place is also very important to them."

Zhang Yu didn't discuss himself too much, but began to arrange various tasks, preparing for multi-front war.

After the discussion, it was finally decided to open up two more battlefields in Jizhou at the same time, capture various places with absolute force superiority, and finally attack Yecheng.

Yecheng is very important.

Cao Cao's side is also very important to Jizhou, and it was finally taken from Yuan Shao. Zhang Yu killed him before he could fully control it now.

Cao Cao and the others also have an army of more than one million. At this time, one-third of them have been transferred to Jizhou, and they are planning to continue to increase their troops.

"My lord, several of Zhang Yu's generals have not appeared at this time, and they may attack from several places at any time.

We are having trouble making plans. "Jia Xu said.

Cao Cao was very helpless. In the end, he could only allocate some troops to several important places and arrange them together.

He is also very helpless with such an arrangement, which will increase a lot of risks. Zhang Yu and the others can attack from many places.

Sure enough, not long after, Huang Zhong attacked Jizhou, broke through two cities at once, and killed more than 56,000 of their troops.

Another front opened up.

Huang Zhong attacked, but Zhang Yu still had several generals under his command.

Not long after Huang Zhong attacked, Zhang Yu also found an opportunity to sneak attack a city and wipe out all 30,000 defenders inside.

And Zhang Liao advanced slowly, not fast, but very deadly, killing all the way from the west.

Zhao Yun still didn't say anything, which made it difficult for Cao Cao to mobilize troops.

Once the soldiers and horses are mobilized, many flaws will be exposed, so Zhao Yun will definitely take the opportunity to kill him.

The situation is very unfavorable.

Cao Cao faced too many dangers.

"My lord, the western front can no longer be defended. We have sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and cannot stop Zhang Yu. Once too many soldiers and horses are dispatched, Zhang Yu will definitely attack from other directions." Cheng Yu said.

"Then what should we do? We can't give up all those territories, right? If we give up a little bit today, next time Zhang Yu comes back, don't we have to give up again." Cao Cao cursed irritably.

After Cao Cao got angry, Cheng Yu said: "My lord, Zhang Yu is at odds with Zhang Yu on the west front, and we attacked Hefei City and occupied Zhang Yu's places west of the Yangtze River."

Cao Cao's eyes flickered, as if he had realized something, and said, "Go ahead."

Cheng Yu said: "Zhang Yu's general momentum has been achieved. In Jizhou, there is nothing to stop him except for a final fierce battle with him in Yecheng. In this way, we will capture the south, and in the future we will defend according to the Yangtze River. rule."

Plan the river and rule...

Cao Cao didn't know what to say when he heard this word.

After waiting for a while, Cao Cao said, "Is our situation already so pessimistic?"

This Cheng Yu has already begun to plan the way out.

Cheng Yu nodded, and then said: "Master, our strategy should be to capture Zhang Yu's Hefei City, Chao County, and Poyang Lake area, then block Zhang Yu, and then capture Luoyang Chang'an on the western front, and finally find a way Go south and attack Jingzhou."

"Only by controlling these places will we have a place to compete with Zhang Yu in the future. Otherwise, if we continue to be eaten away by Zhang Yu, we will perish within five years."

In five years, Cheng Yu thought about Zhang Yu's terrifying recovery speed, and he thought that he might persist for three years at most.

But if they capture those places on the western front, their strategic depth will be very broad, and there will be a wider space by then.

"Okay, that's it. In a few days, the king will personally go to Jizhou to sit in town, fight fiercely with Zhang Yu, and attack Hefei City. I will leave it to you." Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao is very smart, this is to confuse Zhang Yu and prevent them from seeing his strategic intentions.

Cheng Yu continued: "My lord, Shouchun City is the key to completely occupying these places. I also ask my lord to allow my subordinates to sneak attack Shouchun."

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Okay, then attack Shouchun."
