Chapter 139 Xi Zhicai's back-up

Yang Hong and others laughed happily and stopped, and then continued the topic just now: "Lord! There is still good news under my subordinates! Zhang Yan's troops of the Yellow Turban Army in the Black Mountain were in Zhending, and after the battle with Yuan Shao in Zhongshan, there were many casualties.

All tribes have collapsed, and their subordinates include Yu Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Zuoxiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Digen, Yu Du and other tribes, and they have now retreated to the Wei County area.

Some of them also sent messengers who were willing to serve the lord. They also made an appointment to cross the river from Baimajin in Liyang and directly attacked the Puyang City of Dongjun, Cao Cao, while our army launched an attack.

Help us cut off the food route so that Cao's army cannot take care of each other. Such a great victory for the lord is expected!"

Yuan Shu's fat, tender and rosy face showed a look of surprise: "God helps me! Haha, it seems that Cao Mengde is really destined to perish!

OK! OK, so our army's strength will double, with 200,000 people against Cao Cao's 50,000. Humph! This general wants to see how capable the general Cao Mengde is to fight!"

Yang Hong took advantage of Yuan Shu's mood to be happy: "It's just the lord, and this group of people also asked the lord to accept them!"

Yuan Shu lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Well! These Yellow Turban Armys came in time, so they were well placed after the war. They were originally from Jizhou, okay! Okay, when Cao Mengde was eliminated, they would reward them according to their merits and be promoted to the side generals, deputy generals, etc., and sent them to garrison Jizhou.

Haha, when Cao Cao is destroyed, we can teach Yuan Benchu ​​a lesson to the slave who deceived his master!"

"Lord is wise! This is the real plan and victory thousands of miles away! With this strong help, you will definitely be able to win and eliminate unjust officials. If you take time, this world will be the best! Haha..."

The two of them laughed proudly again filled the entire camp.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Compared with Yuan Shujun's relaxed and pleasantness, Yanzhou camp is now very serious.

Xi Zhicai looked at the opposite side coldly. In the vast wasteland, Yuan Shu soldiers began to arrange their battle formations like crowds of people, and estimated that at least 50,000 troops had been dispatched.

Thinking of the camp with only 30,000 soldiers behind me, my slender eyebrows tightened.

"This time Yanzhou has transferred all the troops that can be mobilized and has gathered 80,000 troops. Just to defeat Yuan Shu's Yangzhou army in one fell swoop. Yanzhou has reached the brink of life and death crisis.

If the biggest external trouble, Yuan Shu, who has been attacking repeatedly, can no longer be hurt and defeated. Once the news of food shortage is exposed in the future, I am afraid that everything in Yanzhou will collapse without the enemy attack.

Yesterday, the lord actually only brought 25,000 people into the camp, but only half of the original people slept in each camp. While marching along the way, the soldiers deliberately increased the distance and added extra stoves.

This made the people outside look like there were 50,000 people. In fact, with the original 5,000 Xiahou Dun's vanguard army, there were only 30,000 in the camp.

The other 50,000 troops, except for the 10,000 troops, led by the captain Han Hao, were responsible for escorting food and grass.

The others were already divided into five routes by Xi Zhicai. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they had quietly set out from Juancheng, advanced from various routes, and copied to Yuan Shu's back path.

Among them, 10,000 people from each of the three routes were led by Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Cao Chun as the main force. They were preparing to find opportunities to attack Yuan Shu's army from three directions to disrupt their morale, so that Yuan Shu would not know how many soldiers he had on his side and completely disintegrate their fighting spirit.

Sima Lejin and Li Dian from other departments each led 5,000 people to guerrillas for the front army, responsible for attacking Yuan Shu's military food routes, and made every effort to block Yuan Shu's reinforcements and material support from all parties.

If the situation is not unexpected, they will eventually be attacked on Yuan Shu. This battle must be decided quickly and with all their strength to determine the world. The situation in Yanzhou cannot be delayed.

The cavalry unit led by the cavalry commander Xiahou Yuan is known as the flying army.

They will go to Yongqiu, Wuxian, southern Chenliu at a speed of 'three days, five hundred and one thousand every six days', near Yiwu, responsible for attacking and harassing various counties, cutting off the food routes of Yuan Shu's army, and destroying small groups of reinforcements from the enemy.

Today, Yanzhou counties are basically empty in defense. There are no more than 2,000 left-behind defenders in each county, and there may be less than a thousand people in the county. Fortunately, the chaos has not yet arisen, and Yuan Shao from the north is an ally, so there is no need to worry about someone raiding.

The 30,000 soldiers from Tao Qian in Xuzhou were still watching the battle from afar. With Yuan Shao's restraint in Qingzhou, Tao Gongzu, who was a scholar, dared not give up the defense of his prefecture and entered Yuzhou to take the initiative to help Yuan Shu attack.

His participation in the war is basically a role that adds fuel to the oil and is optional.

Of course, necessary prevention is still necessary. Just set up an elite soldier in the eastern part of Yanzhou to prevent him from entering. It is not difficult to hold him up. When the Battle of Kuangting ends, you can naturally deal with him slowly.

"All the backups that can be used have been laid out, and the rest depends on which side of God helps!"

Xi Zhicai took a last look at the enemy formation, then looked at the fully equipped camp plate of his side. He turned around and entered the central army tent. Cao Cao was sitting in the upper seat, watching the latest enemy-to-me military information that the scout had just reported. Just as he was standing with Xiahou Dun, who was standing, Yu Jin was discussing something. Seeing Xi Zhicai came in, he waved to him with a smile.

"Zhicai, you are here just right! Come, come, come! Here is the news that our army's scout just arrived. Zixiao and the other three teams acted quite quickly. Yesterday, the three armies had already returned and were about to reach the position of the attack. Today, we can launch a joint attack. Do you think we can start a war?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Lord, do you really want to start a war right away?"

"Those who know me are ambitions! Yuan Shu's army has great power and a high fighting spirit! Our army will rest in the camp for a day when we first arrived at the battlefield. Let the soldiers be fully prepared and fight again tomorrow. Tomorrow, Zi Xiao, Zi Lian and the others can almost be prepared."

Wenze! You are good at defense, so the matter of guarding the camp will be left to your department!”

"I follow the lord's order! I will make arrangements!"

Looking at Yu Jin who was calm and calmly turned out of the tent, Cao Cao smiled: "If you have literature, you should guard the camp! The soldiers in our army can rest safely for a day. Yuan Rang! In terms of defense, you are not as good as Wen Ze, and in terms of fighting against Wen, you are not as good as you!"

When Xiahou Dun heard Cao Cao's praise, a hint of pride flashed across his face: "Cousin, oh! The lord has been more than you, killing the enemy in front of the formation, and then Dun and others are the duty of generals!"

"Well! OK! Yuan Rang, you will also arrange for the troops to rest well. Tomorrow you must get your bravery and destroy the enemy in front of the formation!"

"Dun, take the order!"

Seeing that the mighty Xiahou Dun also received the order to leave the tent, Xi Zhicai lowered his voice: "Lord, the situation in our army is very bad!"

Cao Cao's round face, which was just smiling, suddenly twitched.

He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a painful tone: "Zhicai! Is there any bad news except for the lack of food and grass?"

"Lord! Zhicai scattered all four brothers from Jiulishan, the Jinshi Captain, as early as the New Year. Combined with the scout's return from the original scouts who had inquired about the news, it can be seen that Yuan Shu was also taking a desperate bet this time and wanted to defeat us in one fell swoop.

He dispatched at least 120,000 main forces, plus a 50,000 or 60,000 grain transport team, and ten teams were assigned to continuously transport food and grass from the two prefectures of Yuyang.

The attack of the Miaocai Duwei broke the food road and disturbed the enemy's prefectures and counties may be very difficult!"
