Chapter 653: Embarrassed on Four Sides

The army crossed the Yangtze River, Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to attack.

When the army had crossed the Yangtze River, Zhang Yu called Guo Jia, Gao Shun and Ling Cao.

"Our purpose is only one, and that is to seize the territory and gain benefits. As for the crusade against Yuan Shu and proclaiming himself emperor, someone will naturally do it." Zhang Yu set a general principle and said.

Several people laughed, with a clear expression.

Zhang Yu spread out the map and said: "Our goal is still Chao County. Taking Chao County as a base can threaten the Hefei area, and it is far away from Xuzhou and Sun Ce, so conflicts can be avoided."

Everyone looked at the map and listened to Zhang Yu's explanation.

Zhang Yu explained the strategic purpose, but let Guo Jia arrange it.

Guo Jia arranges tactics.

"Four directions, from the intelligence point of view, we are the biggest threat, and the lord is still the leader, Yuan Shu will definitely focus on dealing with us. In Chao County alone, Yuan Shu deployed 200,000 troops." Guo Jia said.

"So, we postponed the attack, and the army advanced steadily, forcing Yuan Shu to be unable to move. When we break through in other directions, we will take advantage of the trend and get what we want." Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia's tactics are very simple, four directions, Yuan Shu will definitely focus on taking care of himself.

If he fights recklessly, he will naturally win, but this will make Yuan Shu devote more troops to his side, forming a fierce battle and being very passive.

However, Zhang Yu and the others were only oppressing, and Yuan Shu and the others did not dare to do it easily.

After breakthroughs in other directions, Yuan Shu could only mobilize troops from Zhang Yu and the others to deal with it, or the internal army's morale was unstable and conflicts broke out.

In other words, Guo Jia's strategy is very good, using the smallest cost to obtain the greatest benefit.

However, Zhang Yu is the kind of person who is unwilling to be lonely and restless.

"Okay, generally follow Feng Xiao's arrangement and strive for the greatest benefit, but don't be too passive. Elai and I will lead 50,000 cavalry out to harass."

Fifty thousand cavalry, when mobile, can contain a large number of enemy troops.

Dian Wei became happy when he heard that.

If you keep him waiting, he really can't stay any longer.

After formulating strategies and tactics, Zhang Yu and the others will start to act the next day.

Zhang Yu didn't leave in a hurry, and moved slowly with the army.

Sure enough, as soon as the army moved, Yuan Jun was extremely nervous, and the surrounding soldiers and horses attracted them and gathered around Chao County.

However, Chao County is a small county after all and cannot accommodate so many people.

Some armies can only rely on county towns to establish camps.

The most test is Yuan Jun's commander.

There are not many generals in Yuan Junzhong, and even Ji Ling can barely command such a huge army.

None of the other generals in Yuan's army were good enough, so the whole army was a bit chaotic.

The army system is too large, and they have not received much serious training.

Zhang Yu and the others were not in a hurry to attack. The 300,000 troops marched 30 miles a day.

Thirty miles is very slow.

In the chaotic Chao County, there were always problems, so Yuan Shu had to send his General Ji Ling over.

When Ji Ling arrived, Zhang Yu and the others were already fifty miles away. Ji Ling didn't have time to rectify, so he could only start to deploy defenses immediately.

On the other three routes, Cai Mao's tens of thousands of troops moved slowly, and did not make much progress after they invaded Lujiang County.

Sun Ce was different. His offensive was very fierce, and Yuan Jun was defeated steadily.

However, Sun Ce had never been the main target of Yuan Jun's attack. After all, if Yuan Shu wanted to beat Sun Ce, he had to stabilize Zhang Yu and Lu Bu first.

Lu Bu's offensive was also fierce.

Lu Bu was already full of aggressiveness. This time he brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses all the way through the formation, killing enemies and beheading generals.

Yuan Shu's million-strong army suddenly felt that it was not enough.

 …

Liu Bei

At this time, Liu Bei was sent by Yuan Shu to stop Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's offensive was too fierce.

Yuan Shu was more generous this time, and gave Liu Bei another 50,000 soldiers and horses, and asked him to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to cooperate with Yuan Shu's other 100,000 soldiers and horses to stop Lu Bu.

Two hundred thousand troops, and Liu Guanzhang.

This is a force not to be underestimated.

Although Liu Bei has an army in his hands, he is not in a good mood at all.

"Brother, how can such an army fight? Half of them have no weapons. Let them hold sharpened wooden sticks. It's no wonder they can win." Zhang Fei said very dissatisfied.

"Sigh." Liu Bei sighed heavily and said, "If I had known that Yuan Shu would become emperor, I wouldn't be able to get involved with Yuan Shu anyway, but now..."

This Liu Bei was injured again, and it was still a serious injury.

Yuan Shu suddenly proclaimed himself emperor, but he has always regarded himself as the Great Han Emperor.

Now that Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, the ones surnamed Liu who should rise up to fight back are the most.

But now, Liu Bei has become Yuan Shu's subordinate.

This completely wiped out his image as a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei regretted it, but it was of no use.

Now most of the soldiers and horses in my hands are Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses. Although they were recruited not long ago, Liu Bei's logistics is still controlled by Yuan Shu.

Thinking against Yuan Shu, but where can Liu Bei go?

He offended everyone around him.

In Xuzhou, Lu Bu will not make him feel better.

Jiangdong, Zhang Yu will chop him up.

It's just a cooperation with Sun Ce in terms of interests.

Then, Liu Bei can only go to Cao Cao or Liu Biao.

But now, Liu Bei's reputation has been being damaged, and he is not welcome to seek refuge with others.

This made Liu Bei feel bitter.

Wandering around, and now he has to work for Yuan Shu.

It's okay to work hard, let him deal with the most dangerous Lu Bu.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also silent, which was really aggrieved.

Now Liu Bei doesn't have many cronies under his command, and many of them were divided by Yuan Shu.

Now, Liu Bei, who lives under the fence, took his soldiers and horses to meet Lu Bu.

In a battle with Lu Bu, Liu Bei was naturally defeated.

Lu Bu led all elite soldiers, and he led a group of recruits.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu could barely resist Lü Bu, who still had a few brave generals under his command.

He was defeated in the first battle, and Liu Bei could only retreat to the city.

But Zhang Yu and the others didn't fight a single battle, they stayed where they were, and got as close as thirty li at most.

Thirty miles, neither far nor near, the enemy can't sneak attack, but they dare not relax.

Ji Ling's pressure was enormous, with 300,000 troops against 300,000 troops, and his own side still had a city to rely on.

But Ji Ling understood that his army's combat effectiveness was too poor, and he was too anxious to expand the army, and he didn't even have all the weapons and equipment.

Without all the weapons and equipment, you are facing an army with excellent weapons and equipment. The opponent's generals are all veterans. How can you fight this way?

But Ji Ling is also confident that he has an army of 300,000 and a city, so he can completely stop it, but the loss will be huge.

"Come on, get ready, we will set off secretly tonight." After three days of confrontation, Zhang Yu said to Dian Wei.

In three days, all the surrounding enemy troops were attracted, and Yuan Jun attached great importance to this place. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
