Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Zitong is the first county in the west of Yizhou.

Although it is not a big county, it occupies a very dangerous terrain.

When Cao Cao captures this place, he can stand firm first, and then Xu Tu advances.

in the account.

Cao Cao finally recovered his usual smile: "These days, we have been fighting with the Yizhou Army. Although there were also defeats, we were able to conquer Zitong and gain a place in the end. I believe that our battle will be smoother in the future. No In half a year, Liu Zhang will be wiped out."

In addition to Cao Cao, there are generals such as Sima Yi, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin in the tent.

Cao Ren said: "Zitong County is too small, and it is very difficult to raise food. If we want to fight against Liu Zhang, we have to conquer the next county and join Zitong County."

"General Cao Ren said it very well." Sima Yi also said: "Yizhou has deep ravines and high fortifications, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can't fight quickly, we can only fight steadily, step by step."

"Stand here first, replenish food, grass, and equipment. Then gradually expand."

"Zhongda, do you know what I'm thinking right now?" Cao Cao smiled with a bottle of wine in his hand.

"My lord is thinking, when will I get Yizhou?" Sima Yi guessed.

"Do not."

Cao Cao shook his head: "Yizhou Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent. Except for Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, his generals are almost invincible. We will win Yizhou sooner or later. I never worry about this."

"The lord is now."

"I'm thinking now, is the Western Shang Empire that suddenly appeared so strong? Xu Ding didn't even dare to take Xiliang in order to deal with them. In fact, he only needs to send [-] cavalry to take Xiliang. We also Won't go to guard."

These days, Cao Cao thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand it.

Xu Ding watched him take Yizhou like this, indifferent.

he asked himself.

If he switched places with Xu Ding, he would never allow the princes to rise from the rear.

Even if they were desperate, they had to send out a troop to stabilize the rear.

But he couldn't figure it out, but Xu Ding was useless.

Do you really despise him?

Don't take him seriously?

Still really too busy?

Sima Yi said: "My lord, why worry? Xu Ding is now in a fierce battle with the Western Shang Empire, and he can't take care of us for the time being. My lord can take this opportunity to seize Yizhou and strengthen my strength. I will think about the Central Plains later."

"That being said, if I don't understand this truth, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Cao Cao said: "I have already sent people to the Central Plains to learn more about the strength of the Western Shang Empire and Xu Ding's current situation. Of course, during this period, we still have to attack Yizhou as our top priority."

"Cao Ren."

"exist."

Cao Cao put down his wine bottle and said, "I guess Liu Zhang is urgently mobilizing troops now, trying to drive us out of Yizhou. But it will take time. We have to take advantage of his lack of troops and his strength to take Jiameng Pass. Mengguan is the barrier of the city, if it is captured there, Liu Zhang will be defeated."

Cao Ren cupped his hands and said, "The last general has prepared [-] elite troops, ready to go at any time."

"but."

"The final suggestion is to wait for a while. It will not be too late to expand after the complete control of Zitong County. The soldiers are very tired after fighting for days."

Cao Cao said: "Are you exhausted? The enemy is even more exhausted than you. At this time, it depends on who can persevere until the end. If you are full of energy, you will be defeated as soon as you fight. If the battle is delayed, wait for Liu Zhang to gather more soldiers and horses. The war will be against me."

"Don't forget, Liu Zhang owns more than a dozen counties in Yizhou, and the people under his rule are more than millions. In addition, he has plenty of food and grass, so why worry about not being able to find soldiers and horses?"

"In short, I have decided to march to Jiameng Pass!"

"Yes."

Cao Ren replied: "The last general will go and prepare."

A few days later, Cao Cao left Le Jin to guard Zitong, and the whole army marched to the next county.Moreover, Cao Cao told all the soldiers in the army that within one and a half months, Jiameng Pass must be captured!

The morale of the soldiers was high because of this.

Under the leadership of Cao Cao, the Yizhou army was defeated all the way.

Time flies very fast.

It's the end of the winter month.

The temperature dropped sharply.

It has already snowed in the Central Plains.

Jia Xu led the army to besiege the troops of the Western Shang Empire, and the victory was already assured.But at the most critical moment, he suddenly received news that a large number of enemy troops were coming from Yangzhou.

According to the reports from the horse scouts, the number of enemies that appeared this time was very large.

Weapons are also very advanced.

Most importantly, the speed of the march is fast.

They are all mechanized soldiers and can travel more than 200 miles a day.

In just two days, they arrived at Jia Xu's rear.

"What is the origin of this army? Isn't there not many enemies in Jiangdong? Why did they send tens of thousands of troops?" Jia Xu was puzzled and worried after receiving the news.

Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Tai Shici all stood in front of him.

Xu Huang said: "According to the news sent by Tan Ma, the number of this enemy army is more than [-]."

"Fifty thousand, that is, the strength of five reorganized divisions." Jia Xu asked, "How far is the enemy army from us?"

"A hundred miles or so."

Tai Shici said: "Sir, this enemy army is stronger than ours. Their speed is even more unbelievable. Even cavalry can hardly have such a speed."

"It can be seen that they are troops known for their speed."

"The final suggestion is to evacuate immediately. Go to the Pengcheng area and build a defense line. Prepare to fight the enemy."

"Ah."
