Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 807
Facing the surprise attacking troops of Liu Pi and Gong Du who suddenly appeared in the southeast of Xudu, Cao Cao was really caught off guard.

However, Cao Cao still didn't dare to easily mobilize Xiahou Dun from Changsha's side to return to aid. He could only dispatch Hao Zhao, who was stationed in Chen Guo, to lead troops back to Xudu. How much support can you give Xu Du.

But Cao Cao couldn't care about other things for a while, and the rest could only be used by him to recruit young and strong and private soldiers from various families in Xudu.

However, under the construction of Cao Cao, Xudu can be regarded as a big city, so it is difficult for Liu Pi and Gong to capture Xudu easily. After all, the purpose of their visit this time is to attract Cao Cao's attention.

But then another news reached Xudu, so Cao Cao could only make up his mind to give up Xudu, and the whole army retreated.

Although Cao Cao had already thought that Zhu Wei's next offensive target would be himself, he did not expect that Zhu Wei's offensive would be so overwhelming for him.

Even though the main force of Zhu Wei's army was stationed in Rongyang County, Liu Pi and Gong Du from Runan County had already made a surprise attack on Xu Du's army. However, another piece of news next made Cao Cao even more frightened.

At the same time that Liu Pi and Gong Du's army suddenly appeared on Xu Du's side, news soon came from Liang Guo's side that Che Zhou, the commander of the Cao army stationed in Liang Guo, took the initiative to defect to Suiyang City. Cao Cao's defense line set up in Liang Guo was suddenly opened up.

Then Zhu Weijun's Huang Zhong's Huainan Camp and Tai Shici's Shenjian Camp, together with Zang Ba's soldiers and horses from Taishan County, easily entered Suiyang City, and then sent troops to attack the rest of the Liang Kingdom who refused to follow the chariots. Surrendered county.

As a result, Cao Cao's defense line in the east almost completely collapsed.

Hao Zhao from the Chen State has come to rescue Xu Du, so the land of the Chen State was almost abandoned by Cao Cao. Even in Jiyin County, there is a defense line stationed by Dong Heng, the general of Cao's army, but it can no longer resist Huang Zhong and Huang Zhong. Tai Shici and the others attacked the hinterland of Yanzhou.

Of course, this is not the most troublesome problem. What makes Cao Cao most nervous is that after Zhu Weijun captured Liang State, his next target was Chenliu County, which would very likely block Cao Cao's retreat route to Puyang.

Therefore, at this time, Cao Cao didn't care about Xu Du, so he directly came to retreat the whole army, gave up Xu Du and retreated to Chenliu, and at the same time let Xia Houdun from the Changsha side and Hao Zhao from Chen Guolai retreat to the north together. , and finally can meet in Fengqiu, Suanzao Yiyi and Cao Cao in Chenliu County.

In fact, the main force of Zhu Weijun is now stationed in Rongyang, which can not only threaten Xudu, but also Chenliu and Puyang. It can be said that Yanzhou is located on the Central Plains. Except for some cities that can be used as fortresses, other There is no terrain at all that can resist Zhu Weijun's attack.

Now that Zhu Wei's army has left Hulao Pass, facing Yanzhou, it is in a flat state, which can completely threaten Cao Cao's entire territory in Yanzhou.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao voluntarily gave up Xudu and Chenliu, and was just preparing to guard Puyang. This Puyang is not only closer to Yuan Shao's Yecheng, but also can be regarded as a city that resists the northern frontier of Yanzhou.

As long as Cao Cao can still defend Puyang City, he can at least protect some territory in the northern part of Yanzhou, so that Cao Cao can still have a breathing space.

At the same time, this Puyang city is also the seat of the state government of Yanzhou, and the city is relatively large enough for Cao Cao to garrison troops in the city, which can give Cao Cao the confidence to resist Zhu Weijun's attack.

When Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, he occupied Puyang City first, and then swept all counties and counties in Yanzhou, leaving Cao Cao only Juancheng in Jiyin County in the north of Yanzhou, Fan County in Dongjun County, and Dongjun County in Shanyang County. There are three cities in A County.

Later, when Cao Cao led his troops back from Xuzhou's counterattack, he immediately went to attack Puyang City, which was occupied by Lu Bu. As a result, Cao Cao and Lu Bu failed to fight here for nearly three months. Later, they encountered a plague of locusts. After eating almost everything, Cao Cao had no choice but to return in vain.

Therefore, Puyang City is still a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so if Cao Cao directly retreats to Puyang, he can gather the strength of the whole army to fight an offensive and defensive battle with Zhu Wei's army in Puyang.

But Cao Cao didn't expect that Zhu Weijun had already attacked before he could mobilize the population. At the same time, it was not Zhu Weijun's main force who made the first move, but it made him feel a little hurt.

This forced Cao Cao to garrison Fengqiu and Suanzao first to resist the possible attack of Zhu Weijun.

The place of jujube is the place where Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, and Bao Xin, the governor of Jinbei, were the governors of Dong Lianjun. The place where Cao Cao initiated the crusade against Donghui Alliance can also be regarded as the main way for Zhu Weijun to leave Hulao Pass and attack Yanzhou.

Therefore, in order to prevent Zhu Wei's army from pouring into Yanzhou in one fell swoop, Cao Cao naturally needed to find a place to stop Zhu Wei's army, so that he could take a breath first and ease the current broken situation.

Now that Cao Cao's Yanzhou defense line has suddenly become fragmented, even if Cao Cao wants to withdraw from Puyang City, he still needs to concentrate his troops in Yanzhou first. Otherwise, his troops will be scattered everywhere and will only be defeated by Zhu Weijun taking advantage of the situation.

However, following Cao Cao's voluntary retreat, Liu Pi and Gong Du took advantage of it in vain. They only used their nearly [-] troops to capture Xudu.

However, after Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Zang Ba captured Liang State, they first separated Huang Zhong's troops to attack the land of Chen State, and then let Che Zhou stay in Liang State. He immediately sent troops to Chenliu.

But right here in Xiangyi County, Taishi Ci and Zang Ba encountered the soldiers and horses of Cao Army guard Hao Zhao who had been transferred from Chen State.

Hao Zhao occupied Xiangyi County, and he tried his best to prevent Tai Shici and Zang Ba's Zhu Weijun from continuing to advance. He wanted to buy time for Cao Cao to withdraw to the land of Suanzao.

This Hao Zhao is a well-known general who is good at defending in history. With the help of Xiangyi County as a basis, he rationally controlled and used the five or six thousand Cao troops brought from Chen Guo by his subordinates. Failed to break through the past.

On the one hand, this is because Hao Zhao's defensive ability is really good. On the other hand, Taishi Ci and Zang Ba did not prepare many siege equipment. They did not expect to encounter a tough opponent like Hao Zhao blocking their way here.

In addition, the Tonghui River in Xiangyi County has formed a lush water system and a complex terrain environment. Therefore, when Taishi Ci and Zang Ba faced the blocking line formed by Hao Zhao's occupation of Xiangyi City, they were indeed Can't pass easily.

However, the battle situation here is also unable to affect the overall situation.

Although Zhu Wei temporarily stopped his army at Rongyang, he was just waiting for Liu Pi, Gong Du, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici to move.

Therefore, after several armies on the eastern front broke through Cao Jun's defense line, Zhu Wei checked Cao Jun's movements through the map of the Three Kingdoms game system, and based on Cao Jun's military actions, he led the main force to the direction of Suanzao...
