Chapter 138
Chapter 138
After Chen Deng, Cao Bao, and Mi Zhu finalized the surrender, the anxiety in their hearts was much less.
And the candidate for Gu Yi was naturally Sun Qian, who could speak well.
But.
Due to the long distance between Xuzhou and Chang’an.
Even if Sun Qian quickly stepped up.
Travel to Chang’an as fast as possible.
It will also take some time to arrive.
Before that.
Cao Bao, Mi Zhu, and Chen Deng needed to do their best to block the onslaught of the Cao army.
Otherwise, if the entire territory of Xuzhou was attacked by Cao Cao, everything would be ruined.
……
Between different armies, the difference in combat effectiveness is too great.
The individual combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Cao army could not catch up with the elite of Dong Zhuojun.
But if compared with the Xuzhou Army, it is more than a little stronger.
Especially after the military town of Xiaopei at the northern end of Xuzhou was breached.
Cao Bao, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and others had to concentrate their forces to defend Pengcheng.
In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.
The Cao army had also moved from Xiaopei to Pengcheng, beginning the siege of Pengcheng.
The offensive and defensive war between the two sides officially began.
The supreme commander of Sergeant Cao was none other than Cao Cao himself.
Besides.
Xia Houyuan and Lejin, on the other hand, stayed in Yuzhou, which had just been captured not long ago.
Although after the second coalition of princes crusade incident.
Cao Ying lost Yu Ban and Cao Hong.
But the remaining generals were enough for the defenders of Xuzhou to eat a pot.
After all.
The person who commanded the battle of the defenders of Xuzhou was none other than Xuzhou General Cao Bao.
This Cao Leopard is just a relatively high status.
The real sword and gun fought against the general of the Cao army, and he was not an opponent at all.
Fortunately.
Chen Deng and Mi Zhu also spared no effort to assist Cao Bao in guarding Pengcheng.
This was able to block the onslaught of the Cao army.
But the situation is still not optimistic for the defenders of Xuzhou.
If there is no intervention of external forces.
Sooner or later, it will be defeated at the hands of Cao Jun.

Gu Yi received Sun Qian here.
For Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Cao Bao and the others who were willing to take the initiative to surrender, Gu Yi was a little unexpected.
However, it makes sense to think about it.
For Xuzhou, surrendering to Cao Cao was really not a good strategy.
But if he surrendered Yuan Shao, there was no difference between surrendering to Cao Cao.
In this way, it is better to surrender directly to Gu Yi.
Not only can he save his own life, but also return to the Han court.
And after learning the news that Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou.
All the people under Gu Yi’s account also hoped that Gu Yi could send troops as soon as possible.
And for Gu Yi.
If you can capture Yuzhou and Xuzhou together.
Located in the middle of the two prefectures of Yu and Xu, Cao Cao’s old nest of Yanzhou will appear to be surrounded.
At that time, Cao Cao will have no room for development and will be struggling.
Soldiers are fast.
Gu Yi decided to send Lü Bu and Zhao Yun to lead the Hezhou Wolf Horse and the Western Liang Iron Horse to bypass Yuzhou first to support Xuzhou.
At this moment, the general of the Cao camp who remained in Yuzhou was Xia Houyuan.
But even if Xia Houyuan had the intention to stop Zhao Yun and Lü Bu, I am afraid that he was powerless.
After all.
In addition to the cavalry troops led by Zhao Yun and Lü Bu.
Gu Yi also decided to personally lead 100,000 troops and kill Yuzhou.
Dong Zhuojun, who had accumulated for so long, had already reached an unprecedented height in strength.
The soldiers rubbed their hands and stood ready for battle.
As for the news of sending troops, Gu Yi did not intend to hide it at all.
His purpose was to make Sergeant Cao panic because of this.
And except for Cao Cao.
Gu Yi also planned to besiege the city to help.
Through the Yuzhou battlefield, try to completely squeeze out the war potential of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao as much as possible!
……
Xuzhou
Outside Pengcheng
“What!?”
“Gu Linzhi personally led the army and killed Yuzhou?”
In the camp of the Cao Army.
When Cao Cao learned the news, he couldn’t help but have a headache.
Why did Cao Cao attack Xuzhou?
To put it bluntly, I hope to swallow the land of Xuzhou through the speed of “blitzkrieg” as much as possible.
And so it goes.
Cao Cao occupied the land of Yanyu and Xuzhou.
Plus Yuan Shao as a reinforcement.
It can effectively build a defense line to block Gu Yidong’s expansion!
But now, it will take some time to conquer Pengcheng.
In the land of Yuzhou, there were only more than 50,000 people beside Xia Houyuan.
Facing Gu Yi’s personal command.
Cao Cao did not think that with Xiahou Yuan’s level, he could stop Gu Yi.
“Guys, how should this be handled?”
Cao Cao summoned all the people under the account to discuss countermeasures.
Time.
There are proposals to continue the siege of Pengcheng.
There are also proposals to withdraw troops and return to Yuzhou.
Instead, Guo Jia, a newly joined strategist, was full of smiles, and seemed to have a corresponding countermeasure in his heart.
Cao Cao couldn’t help but look sideways at Guo Jia and asked:
“Fengxiao, how do you think this matter should be handled?”
Guo Jia first unscrewed the wine jug, poured a large sip of wine, then swallowed the wine, and replied with a smile:
“Can the Lord dare to gamble?”
Before the words fell, I saw Chen Qun standing on the side and scolded sharply:
“Bold Guo Fengxiao!”
“Marching and fighting is the top priority, can you decide by gambling?”
However.
For Chen Qun’s reprimand, Guo Jia did not care.
Although, Guo Jia is also a member of Yingchuan Group.
But among the Yingchuan Group, there are also high and low nobles.
Guo Jia and Guo Tu under Yuan Shao’s account belong to the same family.
But Guo Tu is a member of Yingchuan’s Guo family, and Guo Jia is just a remote sideline.
Chen Qun’s corresponding identity is similar to Guo Tu, and he is a member of the Runan’s Chen family.
Two years ago, after the death of Chen Qun’s father, Chen Ji.
Chen Qun had already taken the lead and became the new patriarch of the Chen family.
Now, Chen Qun brought the entire Chen family to Cao Cao’s embrace. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
And Guo Jia is more like a trial investment placed by the Guo family in Yingchuan under Cao Cao’s account.
Only Guo Tu represents the real future of their Yingchuan Guo family!
Thus.
For Guo Jia, who is not slovenly and does not pay attention to etiquette, Chen Qun looks down on him very much.
Between the two, there is no confrontation at all.
And something similar has happened in history.
Chen Qun reported Guo Jia to Cao Cao every three or five days, hoping that Cao Cao would severely punish Guo Jia.
But how could the relationship between Guo Jia and Cao Cao make Cao Cao dispose of him fiercely?
Therefore, every time Chen Qun made a small report, it was ultimately lost.
And now.
Although Guo Jia has only recently joined Cao Ying.
But Chen Qun seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and Guo Jia began to attack in various ways.
Ignoring (CDDFF) Chen Qun’s criticism, Cao Cao couldn’t help but feel a little curious about Guo Jia’s proposal, and asked with a smile:
“Fengxiao, let’s talk about what kind of gambling method do you want to talk about?”
With Cao Cao’s support, Guo Jia poured himself another sip of wine, :
“If the Lord Gong immediately returns to Yuzhou now, I am afraid that there will be no chance to take Xuzhou from now on.”
“But if the Lord does not return to Yuzhou, with General Miaocai and those soldiers under his command, he will definitely not be Gu Linzhi’s opponent.”
“The lord can ask Yuan Benchu for reinforcements.”
“He will not be ignorant of the truth of the lips and teeth.”
“But where Yuan Benchu’s reinforcements should be used, the lord needs to gamble.”
“If the lord sends Yuan Benchu’s reinforcements to rescue Yuzhou.”
“Then our main army can continue to besiege Pengcheng.”
“But if Yuan Benchu and General Miaocai are defeated by Gu Linzhi together, the situation will become very dangerous.”
“On the contrary.”
“If the Lord Gong sends Yuan Benchu’s reinforcements to besiege Pengcheng.”
“Then we can return to Yuzhou with a part of the army to support General Miaocai.”
“But if this is the case, the difficulty of capturing Pengcheng will undoubtedly increase exponentially.”
“After all, Yuan Benchu’s army cannot be willing to pay the price of heavy casualties to help us attack Pengcheng.”
“That’s the next strategy.”
“How to choose, it is up to the Lord to decide.”
Guo Jia’s words fell, and Cao Cao fell silent.
In fact.
Guo Jia’s strategy sounds very high.
But to sum up, it’s actually easy to understand.
The core is how to apply the reinforcements sent by Yuan Shao.
The current situation is equivalent to the two battlefields of Yuzhou and Xuzhou.
With the strength of the Cao army, it was not enough to fight in two battlefields at the same time.
Therefore, Yuan Shao needed to send troops to help.
But Yuan Shao could only choose one battlefield to support at most.
Either it is to support the Yuzhou battlefield, or to support the Pengcheng battlefield.
If Yuan Shao sent troops to support the Yuzhou battlefield, Cao Cao could continue to attack Pengcheng with the main army.
Conversely, if Yuan Shao sent troops to support the Pengcheng battlefield, Cao Cao would need to send some of his soldiers to Yuzhou to support Xiahou Yuan.
In both directions, the resulting results may be completely different.
But for Cao Cao.
The only chance to capture Xuzhou is this one!
Compared to the soldiers sent by Yuan Shao, there is no doubt that Cao Cao’s own soldiers are more reliable.
Only if the Cao army besieged Pengcheng by himself, the chance of capturing Pengcheng would be greatest!
But correspondingly.
If Cao Cao wanted to continue attacking Pengcheng, Xiahou Yuan of the Yuzhou battlefield could only be rescued by Yuan Shao.
It’s a tough choice.
If you don’t make the best option.
It is very likely that the two prefectures of Xuzhou and Yuzhou will all be lost!
Ultimately.
Or did profit and greed prevail.
Cao Cao decided not to withdraw his troops and continued to besiege Pengcheng.
Xiahou Yuan of Yuzhou pinned his trust on Yuan Shao’s reinforcements.
Gambler psychology, once the bet is won, there are indeed many benefits.
But once the gamble is lost, the bankruptcy is definitely only at the snap of the fingers.
In history, Cao Cao won many times in bets.
But now.
All historical trends have long been different from the original.
How could Luck go to Cao Cao for no reason?
……

Yuan Shao soon received an invitation from Cao Cao for help.
In this regard, all the advisers of Yuan Ying surprisingly unanimously agreed this time.
Without any dispute, they all agreed to send troops to help Cao Cao.
After all.
Lips and teeth are cold.
If Cao Cao was gone, what would Yuan Shao take to resist Gu Yi?
“Yan Liang, Chun Yuqiong, Tian Feng, Guo Tu obey the order!”
“In this battle, I will hand over to you 70,000 soldiers and horses, and I must assist Xiahou Yuan in holding Yuzhou.”
Yuan Shao did not skimp on the number of soldiers under his command in the slightest, and sent 70,000 troops!
However….the leading lineup he sent had great omissions.
Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong are fine.
Both of them are old men under Yuan Shao’s account, and they are also harmonious with each other.
Dantianfeng and Guo Tu???
This……
These two people get together, no matter how they look like they are going to do something bad.
Frustrated and Xu Yu were waiting to stand up and persuade Yuan Shao to adjust the specific candidates for the campaign.
But before they could speak.
I saw an unyielding voice suddenly come from the other side:
“Why didn’t you call me about sending troops?”
“Does the Lord think I’m not qualified enough?”
“Hmph! West Liang Iron Ride? And state wolf ride? ”
“I’ll tell him if he comes back!”
The one who speaks, it is Lu Yi!
