Chapter Five Hundred and Eleventh Attack

Zhang Yu set off, and set off for Liaodong with a huge fleet.

This time Zhang Yu brought some wives there.

His wife, Xiang Xin, must go, along with Madam Mi and Cai Yan, and of course Zhang Ning.

Just take the four of them there, and take them to Liaodong, which shows Zhang Yu's determination, and Xiang Xin, as his wife, going to Liaodong can also boost morale.

In mid-February, Zhang Yu and the others arrived in Liaodong.

At this time, the ice and snow are still there, and there is no major battle.

Zhang Yu asked Xiang Xin and others to stay in Liaodong, where it was warmer, and Zhang Yu took Dian Wei directly to Shenyang City.

At this time, Shenyang City has been preparing for war. The grain in the city has been piled up one warehouse after another, and the timber is piled up directly under the city wall and in other open spaces.

Their combat supplies are enough to last for more than a year.

After Zhang Yu summoned the generals, he began to understand the situation.

(Sorry, I forgot about Xi Zhicai while I was writing this. I have been ignoring Xi Zhicai. I apologize here. Let him appear in the ranks of Liaodong directly.)

Guo Jia reported: "My lord, now that we have faced Yuan Shao directly, we must fight sooner or later. It's just that Gongsun Zan is still holding on at this time, but Gongsun Zan is only in one county, so he can't last long."

Zhang Yu asked, "What suggestions do you guys have?"

Xi Zhicai stood up and said: "My lord, my subordinates suggest that we take the initiative to send troops to attack Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao will fall into a two-front war."

Xi Zhicai's suggestion got everyone's approval. Sooner or later, we will fight Yuan Shao. At this time, Gongsun Zan is still there, which is the most favorable time. When Yuan Shao destroys Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao will be able to mobilize more troops.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's ignite the flames of war first." Zhang Yu made a decision.

But this is not the best time to start a war, because Youzhou is still full of ice and snow.

"Before the war, we must reorganize the army. Elai, Zilong, and Han Sheng, you three will expand the army, and each army will have 50,000 people. Ziyi and Wenyuan will also expand the army and establish an army. A total of 250,000 soldiers and horses,

In addition, the 100,000 garrison of Shenyang City remains unchanged. "

As soon as Zhang Yu opened his mouth, he set up 350,000 troops.

But now for Liaodong, 350,000 soldiers and horses are nothing.

Zhang Yu has five counties including Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuantu, Lelang, and Daifang, and the population is also very large. It is nothing to raise an army of 350,000.

After reorganization, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici were still infantry, and Zhang Yu could not afford so many cavalry.

But Huang Zhong's army is difficult to handle, because he is all heavy cavalry and has very high requirements for horse soldiers.

However, Zhang Yu set a goal of 50,000 for him, and he could recruit as much as he could, but he would rather be short than excessive.

Including the cavalry of Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, there are a total of 150,000 cavalry, which is already a huge force.

The army in Youzhou began to undergo intense reorganization.

The recruitment and training of the army is very simple. They can be mobilized directly from some defenders and militias, and they can be formed quickly.

It was Huang Zhong's army that was in trouble. After a few days, there was still a huge shortage of soldiers and horses.

But that's not a big deal. Although it's troublesome, under strong mobilization, enough soldiers can be recruited.

Urgent preparations were made, and all supplies were gathered to the theater.

After a month of preparation, Zhang Yu and the others mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and a large amount of supplies.

It’s already mid-March (this article is based on the lunar calendar), the snow is no longer falling, and the snow in many places has also melted.

Zhang Yu began to order troops.

"In this battle, all five of my legions will attack. We must defeat the enemy with one blow. It is best to wipe out the enemy's entire army." Zhang Yu said.

The following generals were all excited, they were born to fight, and now that the battle is imminent, they are naturally excited.

They were excited, and Zhang Yu was equally excited. It has been a long time since he "expanded the territory".

After the preparations were completed, the army assembled quietly, and Zhang Yu's goal was Changli County between Liaodong and Liaoxi.

In order to compromise, Gongsun Zan gave up Liaoxi County, and Liaodong and Liaoxi were separated by Changli County. It was originally Gongsun Zan's nail in order to restrain Zhang Yu, but now he has become Yuan Shao's nail, and hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed there.

Part of Zhang Yu's army was transported by ship, directly in Liaoxi County, while a part quietly moved to the border of Liaodong County, ready to attack at any time.

Of the five groups of troops, except for Huang Zhong's who was not fully staffed, the rest of the troops were already fully staffed.

After a few days of layout, all the people and horses have arrived at the designated positions.

At this time Yuan Shao also sent people to encircle and suppress Gongsun Zan.

Yes, using encirclement and suppression to describe it. At this time, except for the northern part that was not besieged, Gongsun Zan was surrounded by Yuan Shao in all other directions.

Yuan Shao was not defenseless against Zhang Yu, he annexed hundreds of thousands in Changli County in order to prevent Zhang Yu from interfering.

"The army is ready, so act according to the plan, and we can't let this Yuan army run away." Zhang Yu said.

The army started to move. One set off from the west of Liaoxi at the agreed time, while Zhang Yu set off from Liaodong with 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry.

In addition, Huang Zhong also went with him, only tens of miles apart, and moved forward in concealment.

This time Zhang Yu divided the soldiers and horses into two groups in order to advance quickly and destroy them before Yuan Jun could react.

When the soldiers and horses were deployed, Zhang Yu led his men to attack.

There were not many soldiers and horses on the border, so Zhang Yu asked Dian Wei to attack. After breaking through their defenses, he did not hide his whereabouts, and pushed directly towards Yuan Jun's camp.

Yuan Jun received the news soon, and then withdrew his troops.

Gao Lan was very nervous in Changli County, and immediately gathered his troops after receiving the news.

"Immediately send multiple messengers to inform the lord, and issue warnings to other counties." Gao Lan ordered.

Zhang Yu sent more than 100,000 soldiers this time, and they had only 100,000 soldiers in Changli County. If they did not concentrate their forces, they would be destroyed by Zhang Yu one by one in a short time.

Gao Lan is still wise.

But he didn't know that Zhang Yu was in the dark this time. On the other way, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's 100,000 soldiers had quietly hidden on the border, ready to pounce at any time.

Yes, it was a pounce, preparing to ambush the army that came to support.

Zhang Yu made an assault all the way, and soon reached the city of Changli.

Zhang Yu surrounded Changli County.

"General Gao Lan, you are already surrounded, why don't you surrender, it will save you and me." Zhang Yu shouted to the city after arriving.

Gao Lan came out and scolded Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was not angry, the two sides were just arguing and taking advantage, Zhang Yu just wanted to put pressure on Gao Lan.

Zhang Yu surrounded three sides, and did not attack immediately, but let the army set up camp. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
