Chapter 1021: The Prelude to the 100,000 Great Battle

Chapter 02

Jiang Qin left in despair with more than 20,000 people.

I feel extremely ashamed.

How could he just lose the city like this.

He couldn't figure it out.

What I don't understand is why Cao Jun turned against them at this time.

"General, why don't we attack the rear of their Hefei city army." A lieutenant said.

Jiang Qin shook his head and said, "No, they have been planning for so long, so they must be prepared. Let's go back to Lu'an City first, and find a chance to bring Shouchun back."

The city of Shouchun was already in the hands of Cheng Yu, how could Jiang Qin and the others take it back so easily.

Cheng Yu took control of Shouchun City, and the army moved in.

Soon, Hefei City stopped attacking, but they still surrounded the city.

Today, this place has become a three-party situation.

Hefei City is still in Zhang Yu's hands, Shouchun is occupied by Cao Jun, and Sun Ce and the others still control Lu'an.

Three places, roughly on three points of the triangle.

This sudden change is really confusing.

But Cheng Yu knew his purpose very well.

Cheng Yu was in the city, and after he made arrangements, he began to think again.

"Should we attack Hefei City or Lu'an City first?"

Cheng Yu looked at the map and studied it carefully.

"The only way to do it again is to fool them."

Cheng Yu knew that Zhang Yu's side and Sun Ce's side were not easy to mess with now.

After two days of truce, the surroundings of these three cities became quiet.

It was Zhou Tai who defended Lu'an City.

"General Zhou, I am ashamed that I have lost Shouchun City." Jiang Qin said with shame after seeing Zhou Tai who was supporting him with the remnant troops.

Zhou Tai didn't say anything, and he didn't think Jiang Qin made any big mistakes.

"If you lose it, you will lose it. I have already sent someone to report the matter to the lord. The lord should have an idea soon."

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin entered the city.

After the two returned to Lu'an City, they met alone.

"General Zhou, why is this Cao Jun? Why did he suddenly attack us?" Jiang Qin asked.

Zhou Tai didn't know either.

On the north side, Zhang Yu's attack was very fierce. Several sneak attacks destroyed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of Cao's army.

Zhang Yu's strategy is to have a large army advancing on the one hand, and an army to maneuver and sneak attack on the other.

With just fit, with strange victory.

Several victories were made by surprise soldiers and sneak attacks on Cao Jun.

Zhang Yu's strategy was very successful. Cao's army had been retreating in Jizhou, while Zhang Yu and the others spread out hundreds of thousands of troops and attacked several places at the same time.

Zhao Yun has been fighting on the move. He didn't attack many places, and only over 20,000 Cao troops were killed.

But Zhao Yun's attacks are very tricky, and he likes to attack their logistics supply lines the most.

Attacking their logistics made Cao Jun very uncomfortable.

More than a month before the start of the war, Zhang Yu had captured several counties.

On Tai Shici's side, he fought Cao Ang a few times. Tai Shici fought Cao Ang directly, and forced Cao Jun to fight with them.

The reckless fight was too brutal, but the effect was very good, consuming a lot of troops on both sides.

Tai Shici's reckless fight here was also arranged by Zhang Yu and the others.

A lot of lost troops here have to be replenished from other places, which will cause many problems and more loopholes, which can be easily handled by Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu had already captured several counties, and at this time he compressed Cao's army in Yecheng.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were also able to join Zhang Yu.

"My lord, the two sides will not have much skill in the future,

We can only fight recklessly. Both of us are gathered in the area of ​​Julu and Yecheng, and Cao Jun has no way out. " Guo Jia said.

"This is the last place Cao Jun can defend. They will not give up easily. They will definitely use Julu and Yecheng to block them." Xi Zhicai also said.

But Zhang Yu said firmly: "To mobilize more resources, this is a decisive battle. If we win, we will be able to win many places."

Zhang Yu is very firm in promoting the unification process.

Zhang Yu's side began to consolidate the front, and then mobilized more troops.

Cao Cao sat in Yecheng and held a meeting.

"Zhang Yu is determined to win here, and we can only fight to the end." Cao Cao said.

At this time, Cheng Yu's strategy was only known to a small number of senior generals and advisers. Cao Cao did not tell more generals for fear of affecting their morale.

In Cao Cao's mind, this place may not be able to defend, but Zhang Yu's large number of soldiers and horses must be killed, and then there will be enough time to attack other places.

"My lord, based on the two big cities, it's no problem for us to persist for a few months. If we can find a loophole, we can fight back." Xun You said.

"Meng De, what we lack now is time. We should take the initiative to negotiate with Zhang Yu and delay their offensive." Xu You said.

Negotiations, can there be results? What price should Cao Cao pay?

Jia Xu said: "Zhang Yu is determined and will not waver. Our negotiations may not lead to any results."

Cao Cao arranged on both sides, while strengthening the city defense and mobilizing more resources.

All eyes were on Jizhou. In Jizhou, a big battle was about to break out.

It is not known how long this war will last.

The strength of both sides is increasing, possibly reaching millions.

The decisive battle of an army of one million is powerful, and one does not know what the outcome will be.

Zhang Yu is determined, no matter how much he sacrifices, he will take Jizhou.

Cao Cao wanted to fight Zhang Yu to death here, and Zhang Yu had to stop interfering with his ability to attack other places.

The two major forces are fighting there.

And Sun Ce was also very shocked after receiving Cao Cao's capture of Shouchun City.

But after some analysis with Zhou Yu, he believed that Cao Cao had no power to do anything to him.

Cao Cao couldn't even deal with Zhang Yu, let alone deal with them.

However, Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu to go east in front of him and act in camera.

This is one that affects the whole body.

Cai Mao seemed to see an opportunity and wanted to intervene.

And Liu Bei has already started to act, and his army has already entered Shuchuan in addition to Jingzhou.

But it didn't go very well.

When the princes were fighting, many people didn't know that Ma Teng was also quietly developing his strength, and developing very fast.

They've got covert support, and while there's not much real support yet, it's coming soon.

The Silk Road has been opened, and their first reinforcements will arrive soon.

Moreover, if they control this road, they will also have a steady stream of perhaps a lot of wealth.

Everything is developing in an unpredictable direction.

In Jizhou, small battles continued, and battles broke out every day. Sometimes scouts met, and sometimes several armies that attacked each other encountered.

But there was no big battle, Zhang Yu had already compressed Cao Cao to a relatively small area.

At this time Zhang Yu was consolidating these places, and when he was ready, he began to attack Julu and Yecheng.

These are two very difficult cities to fight. Cao Cao has at least 500,000 troops in these two places.
