Chapter 356 Detonation
Liu Bei gloated, but he also devoted himself to development, thinking that one day he would send his army east to attack the princes of the Guandong.
And Cao Cao also received the news.
Cao Cao began to study after receiving the news.
He already knew about Zhang Yu's safe escape from Chang'an, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yu would directly intervene in the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.
"My lord, this Zhang Yuxin is great." Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Zhang Yu has a very big heart, but Zhong De still needs to help me analyze it."
Cheng Yu said: "Yuan Shao intends to be in Youzhou, and Xuantu County in Liaodong is Zhang Yu's territory. If Yuan Shao takes control of Youzhou, Zhang Yu will definitely face Yuan Shao directly, so Zhang Yu would rather risk himself. Helping Gongsun Zan, thereby holding Yuan Shao back. It can be seen that Zhang Yu attaches great importance to Liaodong. There is Kuaiji in the south and Liaodong in the north, and Zhang Yu actually wants to keep two territories at the same time."
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Zhang Yu also said that he is a great talent, but he doesn't know what to choose. The two fronts, the north and the south, cannot communicate with each other, and it will only bring a huge burden."
Generally speaking, two sites, and they are so far apart, can only give up one side.
At that time, Zhang Yu didn't know how to manage the two strategic directions of the south and the north. Zhang Yu would manage well.
With a large ship, one south and one north can communicate with each other, and Zhang Yu's troops are not attacking, but defense is completely fine.
Although there are key points in the business site, we will not give up one direction.
Zhang Yu's solitary army went deep into Jizhou to contain Yuan Shao.
Today, there is no strong enemy in the south and the north.
The biggest enemy of Liaodong is Yuan Shao. As long as Gongsun Zan falls, Yuan Shao will definitely attack Liaodong.
Zhang Yu only needs to hold Yuan Shao down for a while. He has a lot of property and population, so he can develop quickly.
Cao Cao looked at Zhang Yu's actions and thought he didn't understand very much, while the other princes just watched the excitement and didn't think so much.
When Dong Zhuo received the news, he happily feasted on his subordinates.
"Haha, it's great that the two of them fight, it's best for both of them to lose, and it's best for Zhang Yu to die in Jizhou."
Yuan Shu: Zhang Yu also dared to fight against our Yuan family. Although Yuan Benchu was not very good, he could easily defeat Zhang Yu.
Liu Yu: They are all courtiers of the Han Dynasty, so they should love each other.
Liu Biao: Traitors and traitors.
Sun Ce: Brother Zhang is still so willful.
Gongsun Zan: Kill.
…
Most of the people were watching the fun, anyway, Zhang Yu was a big disaster, and it was normal to make a fuss.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu, the client in Yuanshi County, was drinking tea leisurely in the county government office.
Yuan Shao had been attacking for five days, and both sides suffered heavy losses within five days. Yuan Shao lost more than 20,000 people, while Zhang Yu also lost more than 5,000 people.
But Zhang Yu wasn't worried at all, he wasn't worried at all.
When the time comes, he will definitely retreat.
The city was besieged in the past few days, and he only got some sporadic news.
But he also knew that Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were no longer in their original places, and they obviously started to act long ago.
In other words, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun acted immediately after receiving Zhang Yu's letter, without daring to delay at all.
It took them a few days to reach the area where Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were fighting.
Then it took a few more days to start investigating.
At this time, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun had been hiding in the fighting place for several days.
"Han Sheng, in the past few days, we have roughly figured out the situation here, and we can start to act." Zhao Yun said to Huang Zhong at a temporary camp in a mountain forest.
"Okay, according to the plan, I will pretend to be Yuan Jun and attack Gongsun Zan's soldiers, and you will pretend to be Gongsun Zan's soldiers and attack Yuan Jun." Huang Zhong also felt that there should be no delay, and he must act immediately.
After the two discussed it, they began to act.
The first thing they want to attack is the opponent's food.
In the past few days, they have figured out the food and food routes of both sides, and they are going to attack at this time.
Of course, the attacks are all small targets, and the opponents of large targets must be heavily guarded.
I can't beat it.
However, attacking their small targets can also achieve their goals.
On the first day, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun each attacked the other's five grain transportation teams and burned their grain.
The next day, Huang Zhong burned down Gongsun Zan's granary. Although it was a small granary and didn't have much food, it made Gongsun Zan and the others very nervous.
At the same time, Zhao Yun also attacked Yuan Shao's two granaries and burned one, but failed.
On the third day, they continued, not only intercepting their grain team, but also attacking several of their barracks.
Of course, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun mainly focus on harassment. Once the momentum is wrong, they will give up and leave immediately. If there is a chance, of course they will rush forward and eliminate them.
For four or five days in a row, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were very nervous.
Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's activities began to become more frequent, and they sent out troops to patrol, and at the same time sent additional troops to the fighting areas.
On Yuan Shao's side, Ju Yi was the general.
In the handsome tent, Ju Yi looked serious.
"Gongsun Zan may want to attack and support Zhang Yu. Now that the lord is leading an army to encircle and suppress Zhang Yu, we must hold the line here and not let Gongsun Zan succeed. From now on, strengthen vigilance and support each other at any time," Ju Yi said. Several of his lieutenants said.
Gongsun Zan also became nervous.
At this time, the two sides are only one opportunity away, and a war will break out.
Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun still sent troops to harass and harass everywhere, creating a tense atmosphere.
Finally, an opportunity came. Yuan Shaojun planned to deliver a batch of grain and grass to the front line. Zhao Yun and the others received the news and planned to use it as a tipping point.
On that day, Zhao Yun personally led 5,000 people to prepare for the attack, but the other party escorted only 3,000 people, and there was still a lot of food and grass to be transported.
The soldiers and horses led by Huang Zhong were divided into two groups and acted separately.
The plan begins.
Zhao Yun suddenly attacked Yuan Shao's grain transport team.
The team immediately fell into chaos, and Zhao Yun sent people to attack and set fire to them at the same time.
In order to increase the momentum, Zhao Yun ordered people to light the surrounding vegetation as well.
The fire soared into the sky, and people in the distance mistakenly thought it was Zhao Yun who lit the grain and grass.
After Zhao Yun set the fire, Huang Zhong also started to act.
While pretending to be Yuan Jun to support, while pretending to be Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses to go to support.
Soon, the spies from both sides received the news and hurried back to report.
"Report, General, the grain and grass in front of our army have been burned, and 5,000 Gongsun Zan soldiers and horses were found moving towards the battlefield, the purpose is unknown." Soon, Ju Yi received the news.
Ju Yi didn't need to think about it, and immediately ordered: "Let General Ma lead 10,000 troops to support immediately."
At the same time, Gongsun Zan also received the news.
"General, an army of our army is burning the enemy's food and grass on the front line. At this time, the enemy is sending thousands of troops to support it."
Gongsun Zan's face was serious after receiving the news.
"Who is going to attack the other party's food and grass without a military order?"
However, Gongsun Zan didn't have time to pursue the matter, and immediately ordered: "Order Gongsun Fan to take 10,000 troops to meet him immediately, and deal with it after he returns."
