Chapter 443 Garrison Xiaopei
Zhang Yu was threatening Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao not be angry.
"Hmph, what he wants to do to me is just a statement, Zhang Yu doesn't have such a big face." Cao Cao said angrily, tearing up the statement.
Cheng Yu stood up and said: "My lord, this Zhang Yu probably took advantage of it. If there is a benefit, Zhang Yu can do anything. If we really have a massacre of the city, Zhang Yu will definitely come out and do something."
Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao calm down a bit, regardless of Cao Cao's unusual anger at this time.
Cao Cao said: "Zhang Yu is not supernatural. Before Yuan Shao and Tao Qian would be taken by Zhang Yu, it was because Zhang Yu was connected to their territory. Zhang Yu had a way to retreat, and if he dared to come, he would not be able to retreat completely. .”
Cao Cao judged that Zhang Yu didn't dare to attack him, even if he dared, Cao Cao didn't need to be afraid.
It is not always possible to retreat unscathed when a single army goes deep.
Besides, Cao Cao is neither Yuan Shao nor Tao Qian, so how can he be unprepared.
After careful consideration, Cao Cao decided to ignore Zhang Yu's threat.
Cao Cao continued to attack Xuzhou, Tao Qian was defeated, and many places were lost.
Zhang Yu's movements were also very fast, and he was floating on the sea with his army in a few days.
Not long after wandering on the sea, Youzhou and Xuzhou were not far away, so Zhang Yu and the others appeared on the seashore.
But at this time, half of Xuzhou fell.
Zhang Yu and the others landed ashore.
Mi Zhu was already waiting anxiously.
"Brother Zhang, thank you for coming to Xuzhou to help. Taozhou Mu will be grateful, and the people of Xuzhou will also be grateful." Mi Zhu said to Zhang Yu.
Mi Zhu was really in a hurry, most of Xuzhou fell, and of course their Mi family also suffered huge losses.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "It's not for nothing that I come to Xuzhou to use people's money to eliminate disasters."
Zhang Yu immediately asked Mi Zhu about the situation in Xuzhou.
The situation is not very good, Cao Cao's army is very aggressive.
"Ask Tao Qian to give me 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 30,000 soldiers and horses I brought, I can take these soldiers and horses to station in Xiaopei, and I will definitely be able to keep Xiapi City safe." Zhang Yu said.
Mi Zhu thought for a while, but couldn't answer Zhang Yu.
It doesn't matter to Zhang Yu, if Zhang Yu wants to help, he must come up with real money.
Zhang Yu was temporarily stationed beside the pier to rest.
Zhang Yu's arrival still made Cao Cao nervous.
"This Zhang Yu really dares to make any money." Cao Cao said to his opponent.
"Meng De, Zhang Yu only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, so we can't change much," Cao Ren said.
Xia Houyuan also said: "Thirty thousand soldiers and horses, I personally led someone to chop him up, so as not to get in the way."
Zhang Yu only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, which really had little effect on the battle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides.
However, Zhang Yu's reputation is there, even if it has little influence, it can greatly improve the morale of Xuzhou and bring great troubles to Cao Cao and the others.
Two or three days later, Tao Qian agreed to Zhang Yu's request and let Zhang Yu enter Pei County.
After Lu Bu occupied Xiapi, he sent Liu Bei to Xiaopei.
This time Zhang Yu proposed to go to Xiaopei to defend Tao Qian's side, and he was in a corner with Xiapi.
Zhang Yu wants to temper soldiers here, and at the same time fight a battle with Cao Cao.
From now on, Cao Cao will definitely be his great enemy.
Zhang Yu really wanted to fight Cao Cao.
Zhang Yu quickly entered Pei County, and Cao Cao had not yet reached here.
After arriving, Zhang Yu and the others began to urgently reinforce the fortifications and store supplies at the same time.
Xuzhou's 30,000 soldiers and horses were also in place, under the command of Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu briefly trained the 30,000 soldiers and horses again, and then asked them to go out of the city to collect supplies.
Ten or so days later, Cao Cao captured most of the city and killed Xiapi city.
The difference is that this time Cao Cao did not massacre the city on a large scale, but he still massacred a county town with hundreds of thousands of people.
After Cao Cao slaughtered the city, Zhang Yu issued a statement condemning Cao Cao's slaughter of the city.
If you don't go down to Picheng, Cao Cao's 300,000 troops will besiege the city.
After the siege, Cao Cao did not attack immediately, but personally led an army of 150,000 to Xiaopei.
The city of Pei County is not big,
But it can also accommodate about 200,000 people.
Zhang Yu has already led his soldiers to the top of the city.
The banners outside the city were fluttering, and Cao Cao's men and horses were also considered majestic.
"Brother Meng De, don't come here unharmed." Zhang Yu shouted from the top of the wall.
"Brother Zhang, why don't you come out of the city to tell the story when we meet old friends?" Cao Cao shouted.
Zhang Yu waved his hand and went down to the city.
Dian Wei left the city with five thousand soldiers and horses and Zhang Yu.
After leaving the city gate, Cao Cao rode out alone. Zhang Yu also left Dian Wei and others behind, and he stepped forward alone.
Seeing Cao Cao at this time, his face was a little bit more frosty.
"Brother Zhang is different when he is young. He dares to swim in any muddy water." Cao Cao said sarcastically.
Zhang Yu shook his head indifferently and said: "There are a lot of rumors about me from the outside world. You aristocratic families should know who I am. There are interests here, so I came here after hearing the news."
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "I have never believed the rumors from the outside world. Brother Zhang is a man with a big heart. How could a villain can guess it? It's just that Tao Qian has a big enmity with me, so I ask Brother Zhang not to interfere too much. it is good. "
"Brother Meng De has a heart, and he has to work after receiving the money. I, Zhang Yu, still have this little credit. If Brother Meng De needs it in the future, as long as I can afford it, I can help you fight the war." Zhang Yu said.
Cao Cao was a little speechless, Zhang Yu didn't forget to advertise at this time.
"That's a good thing to do for yourself. I will definitely take down Xiapi City with all my strength." Cao Cao turned and went back after speaking.
Cao Cao's words are obvious, take Xiapi city with all his strength, and Xiaopei is guarding Xiapi, so naturally he is also the target of his full attack.
Zhang Yu also went back.
When Zhang Yu returned to the top of the city, Cao Cao ordered Xiaopei to be surrounded, but he hadn't attacked yet.
Cao Cao summoned his civil servants and generals, and said: "According to intelligence, there are 60,000 defenders in Xiaopei. Counting Zhang Yu's combat power, 150,000 soldiers and horses are enough, but the defense of Xiapi City is strong, we must disintegrate them first. Only with our morale can we win quickly."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, everyone began to think.
After a while, Cheng Yu came out and said, "My lord, if you want to take down Xiapi City, you must first take down Xiaopei, otherwise Xiapi City will have a reliance, and you will definitely defend it."
Cao Cao sighed secretly, he didn't want to fight Zhang Yu to death, but now it seems that there is no other way.
"Zixiao (Cao Ren) is the leader, Miaocai (Xiahouyuan) is the deputy, take Xiaopei, and if possible, capture Zhang Yu alive."
Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan went out to lead the battle.
At the beginning of the Xuzhou War, Cao Cao personally went to attack Xiapi City, and Xiapi City had 300,000 soldiers and horses at this time, which was very powerful.
However, there are more than 200,000 defenders in Xiapi City, as well as a large number of people and families.
Tao Qian was old and could only hold on to his frail body to preside over important events.
Tao Qian only had a few generals, and the generals were not very capable.
For example, Cao Bao and Mi Fang who were beaten to pieces by Zhang Yu.
