Chapter 1118 Surrounding Xiangyang and Surrendering Within a Time Limit

After besieging the city, Zhang Yu called several generals over that night.

In the big tent, Zhang Yu's subordinates are full of talents.

Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Huang Xu, Zhou Cang, Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and so on.

Zhang Yu looked at the crowd, and said: "Now, I have controlled an army in the city, and I will not send it away. The most important thing is to prevent Cao Jun's 100,000 troops from returning."

"After we enter the city, we must use the fastest speed to surround and attack Cao Jun and the Jingzhou army. It is no longer a concern. Cao Jun must not let them escape."

Zhang Yu's words were nothing to his original subordinates, but they were very shocking to Zhou Yu and the other three.

This battle has not yet been fought, Zhang Yu has already controlled an army in the city, although I don't know how many, but after the war starts, it will definitely play a big role.

Guo Jia relaxed, and then said to everyone: "Our Tang army is also brave and good at fighting. Naturally, it is no problem to deal with Cao army. It is difficult for them to escape when the army is besieging the city. However, we must also shock the enemy enough. When the time comes, we will bring a big victory and take advantage of the situation." Attack Nanyang and approach Luoyang."

Everyone is passionate, taking Luoyang, Chang'an will be easy, and then there will be Ma Teng and Liu Bei, and the two states will be unstoppable.

The trend of unification became clearer.

Zhang Yu personally led the army to conquer, and there were not many obstacles.

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Jingzhou's army is nothing to worry about, we have to deal with it carefully, now let's assign the matter of attacking Cao's army."

Zhang Yu had someone hang up a map, which turned out to be a detailed map of the city.

"Look, the places marked with red circles on the map are all places where Cao Jun is stationed. They are all stationed near the city gate. After entering the city, they should encircle these places first."

"The place where the basket is located is where Jingzhou soldiers and horses are stationed. They are stationed in scattered places, and they are stationed in more important places in the city."

Zhou Yu and the others gasped. Zhang Yu had such detailed information before the fight, and the task assigned was not to attack the city gates and walls, but the task after entering the city.

It can be seen that it must not be easy for Zhang Yu to control the army in the city.

Zhang Yu continued to arrange,

Several generals had tasks, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were assigned to attack Cao Jun.

Careful Zhou Yu discovered that there were several soldiers and horses in Jingzhou who were not assigned, or were all handled by Guo Jia.

Some of this must be internal.

Judging from these situations, Zhou Yu analyzed that there were about 5,000 to 15,000 troops under Zhang Yu's control.

According to Zhou Yu's analysis, it must be more calculations. If not, Zhang Yu would not be so sure.

In fact, Zhang Yu could have taken Xiangyang City a long time ago, and he has endured until now, and he is still waiting for Cao Jun to enter the city and gain a firm foothold. How confident is this.

"Hey, Changsha didn't deserve to lose. Even if there is no salt, it can only hold back for half a year at most." Zhou Yu sighed inwardly.

Zhang Yu carefully assigned their respective tasks.

The meeting was held for a long time, and various tasks were done in detail.

Several generals understand their mission.

After the distribution was completed, Zhang Yu asked people to make arrangements for themselves.

Zhang Yu's army of about 500,000 troops surrounded Xiangyang City.

Outside Hulao Pass, Gao Shun was there with an army of hundreds of thousands, threatening Hulao Pass at all times.

At this time, Hulao Pass was not that strong.

It was completely destroyed at the beginning, and there was no chance to overhaul it, and it was not as strong as Dong Zhuo's time.

At the same time, tens of thousands of troops are active in the north of Luoyang City, and there are also tens of thousands of troops on the Yellow River.

These armies are all capable of reaching Luoyang City.

Such an arrangement naturally made Cao Cao feel pressured, and he did not have more strength to interfere with the affairs in the south.

A day passed, and the city seemed peaceful on the surface.

With Xu Chen patrolling the streets, Cai Mao was relieved a lot.

Just after the first day, Cai Mao called Xu Chen to ask about the situation.

"My lord, Zhang Yu is outside the city and has a relatively large influence. Recently, the city has been a little unstable." Xu Chen said.

The situation was indeed like this, the soldiers and civilians in the city were afraid that Zhang Yu would come in.

Xu Chen knew that there was more than one channel for Cai Mao, and recently he sent all of Cai Mao out.

It's just that Commander Cai is mainly in charge of military affairs, and doesn't pay that much attention to ordinary people on the street.

Cai Mao also frequently summoned the children of the clan, so Cai Mao didn't know anything about the outside world.

"Damn it, make more inspections, and arrest the leaders who dare to gather the crowd."

Although the morale of the army is unstable, as long as the crowd is not gathered, then it will be fine.

Cai Hao ordered Xu Chen some more things, and then said: "Five thousand soldiers and horses are not enough, this king will give you another three thousand soldiers and horses, let Cai He cooperate with you and patrol together."

Cai He, one of Wang Li's arrests, was also Cai Mao's confidant.

This Cai Hao still didn't fully trust Xu Chen, he clearly increased his troops, but arranged for someone to monitor him.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates must be careful not to give anyone a chance."

Xu Chen left.

Cai He partnered with him, and Xu Chen did not take any action. He went all out to patrol and arrest those who had different intentions.

Two days passed, and the hearts of the people in the city were even more fluctuating.

At this moment, Zhang Yu hadn't made any moves yet.

After Xu Chen patrolled the streets, he went to drink tea.

While drinking tea, Xu Chen received information again.

Xu Chen went back very late, and opened the information after returning.

"Six days, my lord is only willing to give Xiangyang six days, and eight days is just to deceive the resistance forces in Xiangyang city."

Zhang Yu didn't give Xu Chen any specific tasks, his mission has been completed.

After completing the mission, Zhang Yu told him to play it by ear.

The days passed by little by little.

Another two days passed, and the deadline was approaching.

In the past few days, the gates of the city have been closed, and the people are not allowed to go to the streets casually.

Although Cai Hao is not fully controlled and cannot go to the streets, he can only walk on the streets for five hours a day, two and a half hours a day.

In this way, the more you control, the more afraid the soldiers and civilians in the city will be.

On the fifth day, Zhang Yu once again gathered his generals to discuss matters.

"I have made a plan. At midnight tomorrow, we will enter the city through the east gate and south gate, and launch a fierce attack on the other two gates."

"Tomorrow night, we must attack the city as soon as possible. The army controls the city gate. Afterwards, the generals will intersperse to attack. We cannot give Cao's army a chance to gather."

"Cao Jun is deployed around the four city gates. It is not easy to gather together. We cannot give them a chance."

"Now, each general is making the final preparations. Tomorrow night, take Xiangyang."

Finally, the war is about to start. Once the war starts, Xiangyang City will be taken.

The day passed quickly.

Many aristocratic families in the city seem to be approaching a certain day. With the last day stipulated by Zhang Yu, they become more and more uneasy. Many families who are in the army secretly negotiate with the family and surrender directly at that time, in order to protect the family. superior.

Cai Mao, at this time, he still doesn't know that the people below have been divorced.
