Three Kingdoms: Beginning To Replace Liu Bei And Marry The Mi Family

South of Qiao County, Longcheng.

In the evening, groups of soldiers from the Qi army landed one after another and set up camp around the city.

Liu Wu didn't enter the city, so he directly set up the king's tent on the bank of Guoshui, so that he could board the ship tomorrow and continue northward.

Wang Zhang.

"According to Jin Yiwei's report, Yuan Shao has sent his son Yuan Tan to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses southward along the Guoshui, clearly intending to prevent our army from going northward to rescue Qiao County."

Zhang Liao reported the information.

"Sure enough, it's not what I expected."

Liu Wu nodded slightly, and asked again: "How is the battle situation in Qiao County, my king, Yue Jiao, how long can he last?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Qiao County has been besieged to the point of impenetrability, the news has been completely cut off, and I don't know what the situation in the city is like."

"However, since Yuan's army besieged the city, there have been more than ten thousand casualties, and Cao's army in the city also suffered a lot of casualties. It should be at the end of their strength, and it won't be long before they can be defeated."

Zhang Liao reported again.

Liu Wu frowned, tapped the table with his fingertips, and fell silent.

Tai Shici cupped his hands: "Your Highness, I'm afraid we have to break through Yuan Tan's troops quickly, otherwise even if we rush to Qiao County, I am afraid that Duke Cao will not be able to support him."

"However, after Yuan Tan led his army to Zhanghua City, he stationed troops and stopped going south, and continued to build fortifications and strengthen the city.

"It seems that he doesn't intend to confront our army head-on, as long as he defends Zhang Hua and prevents our army from going south."

"If you want to break Yuan Tan quickly, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

Zhang Liao worried again.

Liu Wu said with a sneer: "That Mr. Yuan, he was frightened by this king in the battle of Qingzhou, and he learned to be smart."

The voice fell.

Xu Chu entered the account, cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, Cao Gong sent someone to break out of the encirclement to ask for help. The person has arrived and wants to see His Highness."

The generals were slightly shocked.

Liu Wu's eyes were surprised, but he said: "He was able to send someone to break out of the siege, it was indeed beyond my expectation, I wonder who my father-in-law sent to ask for help."

"Reporting to Your Highness, Cao Gong sent Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang's two sons, as well as Xiahou Dun and Guo Jia to break through."

"Then Cao Zhang Xiahou Dun was seriously injured, the last general sent them to the medical officer for treatment, only Cao Zhi and Guo Jia were only slightly injured, and they were anxious to see His Highness.

Reported by Xu Chu.

"Sent both sons out to break through the siege. It seems that the situation in Qiao County is critical. This king, the father-in-law, will not last long. Just imagine the lives of the two sons."

Liu Wu pointed out Cao Cao's deep meaning with one word, and waved his hands: "Please come in quickly."

for a moment.

Cao Zhi and Guo Jia, who were covered in blood, stepped into the king's tent one after another.

"Brother-in-law, you finally brought troops to rescue us!"

Cao Zhi cupped his fists towards Liu Wu, so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

Guo Jia also cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Guo Jia, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Qi."

Liu Wu got up and went to support the two of them, seeing that they were all wounded, he showed some concern, ordered the left and right to serve tea.

"Mr. Zijian, how is your father doing? How is the situation in Qiao County?"

After sitting down, Liu Wu asked.

Cao Zhi immediately became excited again, and begged: "Sister, father, Yuan Shao's attack on the city is too urgent, father, he is almost unable to hold on, so hurry up and lead your troops to rescue, I'm afraid I won't be able to come if it's a few days later!"

Seeing that he was too excited and a little incoherent, Liu Wu had to turn his eyes to Guo Jia.

"Casualties in the city are extremely heavy, our army has less than 7,000 soldiers available, morale is also quite low, and the situation is already in danger.

"However, Sikong will visit the city to boost morale in every battle. Although the original situation is unfavorable, he can barely hold on."

"However, recently Yuan Shao heard that His Royal Highness King Qi led an army to help, and he must have been driven into a hurry. He promised a lot of rewards and encouraged the soldiers to attack day and night at any cost."

"If this goes on like this, if His Highness fails to arrive at Qiao County within four days, I'm afraid that Sikong will be unable to hold on, and the breath adjustment will fail.

Guo Jia, on the other hand, was calm and composed, but pointed out the situation in Qiao County with a dignified tone.

Liu Wu raised his eyebrows.

"Only for four days?"

Zhang Liao's face changed, and he blurted out, "Yuan Tan's 50,000 troops are still stuck in Zhanghua City. Four days are not enough to defeat Yuan Tan. How can we reach Qiao County in time?"

Cao Zhi thumped a little, and said in a trembling voice: "Then, according to this, is father really hopeless?"

Liu Wu didn't speak, got up and came to the map, staring at the front line of Qiao County, his thoughts were flying.

"Your Highness, if you want to get to Qiao County in time, you must use a clever plan."

"The lower officials thought that His Royal Highness could send a light army to go north to challenge Yuan Xi, deliberately bluffing to lure him into pursuit."

"Afterwards, His Highness set up an ambush with the main force, and hit Yuan Tan again in one fell swoop, so that the road to the north can be opened, and His Highness can lead the army to Qiao County!"

Guo Jia came to the map, gestured with his fingers, and went up.

"Feng Xiao, why do you conclude that Yuan Tan will definitely fall into the trap and pursue him?"

Liu Wu asked back.

Guo Jia sneered and said: "Yuan Tan has always been disliked by Yuan Shao because of his Royal Highness' defeat in Qingzhou, and he lagged far behind Yuan Shang in the battle for the reserve position. If he sees a chance to defeat His Highness and win Yuan Shao's favor again, he must Will be greedy for merit!"

"Well, it is said that Guo Fengxiao is a conspirator of ghosts. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."

Liu Wu nodded slightly with approving eyes.

"Your Highness is serious, His Highness is the one who has the most ingenious plans, and Jia's little plan is really a trick in front of His Highness.

Guo Jia complimented himself, and then said: "Since Your Highness also thinks that Jia's plan is feasible, then it's time to advance troops quickly, otherwise it will be too late.

"Feng Xiao, this plan of yours is indeed a clever plan to defeat the enemy."

But Liu Wu changed the subject and asked back: "But even if this plan is successful, do you think that the king's reinforcements can reach Qiao County in time within four days?"

Guo Jia was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he sighed bitterly: "Although the chance is not great, it is the only hope, and we have to try."

"Since the goal is to save Qiao County, why do we have to defeat Yuan Tan?"

Liu Wu suddenly asked back, with a meaningless tone.

Guo Jia was startled, and said in a daze, "Your Highness's main force goes northward along the vortex water. If you don't defeat Yuan Tan, how can the army reach Qiao County and save my lord?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Liu Wu pointed to the north of the map:

"This king can order the infantry to continue northward along the Woshui, making Yuan Shao and his son think that I am going to rescue Qiao County from the south."

...asking for flowers...

"However, this king led his cavalry to divert eastward to Sui River and go north, so that he could bypass Yuan Tan's troops and reach Suiyang in the north of Qiao County!"

"Afterwards, this king will quickly go south by land, and within a hundred miles of the attack, he will be able to surprise others and appear in the north of Qiao County, killing Yuan Shao by surprise."

What does Feng Xiao think of this plan?"

Guo Jia's eyes flickered, his expression couldn't help becoming excited, and his gaze swept back and forth on the map.

Suddenly.

"Wonderful, this trick is to build the plank road openly and sneak through the old warehouse, it is really a wonderful trick!"

Guo Jia's eyes filled with deep respect, and he cupped his hands in admiration: "Your Highness's miraculous plan, Jia finally saw it with his own eyes today, this plan is far better than Jia Shicai's plan, and it is indeed a winning strategy to solve the siege of Jiao County !"

Liu Wu laughed at Guimou's praise.

He pointed at Suiyang: "Suiyang Ling Manchong is Duke Cao's subordinate. He has not yet surrendered Yuan. This king needs the cooperation of this person if he wants to go south from Suiyang."

"I will go with you, brother-in-law!"

"When Man Chong sees it, he will naturally believe in his brother-in-law, and will definitely let his brother-in-law lead an army south from Suiyang.

Cao Zhi, who had been silent all this time, was also ecstatic at this moment, and shouted excitedly.

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Master Zijian is here, and Man Chong will definitely let him go.

"good!"

Liu Wu's eyes sparkled with pride, and he said happily, "Zijian, it's not too late. Let's set off tonight to save your father!"

At that moment, Liu Wu left behind Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other generals, under his banner, continued to go northward to approach Zhang Hua.

Liu Wu and Tai Shici led 2,000 cavalry, led Cao Zhi, and made a detour to attack in the starry night.

Four days later, Qiao County.

The city was dilapidated, and countless soldiers were killed and injured. Even Cao Cao himself was wounded by arrows and could barely support himself.

Qiao County is already crumbling.

Yuan Shao, who was attacking, suddenly retreated and formed an formation in front of the city again.

Cao Jun was able to breathe a little, and he was all relieved.

With the support of Cao Ren, Cao Cao held on to the battlements and looked out of the city.

It was seen that Yuan Shao did not retreat directly to the camp as usual, and continued to attack after a short rest, but formed an array in front of the city.

"Yuan Shao, what trick do you want to play?"

Cao Cao frowned, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

After a while, Yuan Jun's array cracked open.

Yuan Shao in golden armor, under the protection of more than a hundred cavalry guards including Yan Liang, stepped out slowly and came to the front of the city.

"Go, go and persuade your father."

Yuan Shao raised his whip slightly, and shouted to the young man behind him in a cold tone.

The young man took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the shame on his face, and silently rode forward.

He plucked up his courage and shouted towards the top of the city: "Father, the fall of Qiao County is a foregone conclusion. The general situation is over. Don't make unnecessary resistance anymore. Surrender."

city ​​head.

Cao Cao's body was shocked, and he stared at it anxiously.

When he recognized that face, his figure froze in an instant.

The person who persuaded him to surrender was actually Cao Piwan!
