Chapter 258: Cao Cao's Counterattack (Supplement 3/6)(2/2)
Xu Rong was a formidable enemy to Cao Cao.
"Since I have been trusted, I will go to Dingtao now."
After Xu Rong left, Xia Liang held his chin and thought for a while: "Let Chen Gui present the map of Guangling County, order Chen Deng to recruit 10,000 new soldiers in Tancheng, and order the attacking legion that Le Yi did not take with him to move to Huaiyin County. Mi Fang's legion
Move to Qu County. When the national war is over, immediately attack Guangling County and capture the last county in Xuzhou. Regardless of whether we can stop Cao Cao, our speed of unifying Xuzhou will definitely be faster than Cao Cao's speed of unifying Yanzhou."
…
Wen, the lord of the Yanzhou coalition, was heartbroken because he was defeated in the Battle of Puyang.
He did not expect that Yuan Shao would betray his promise and stop attacking Cao Cao from the direction of the white horse.
Cao Cao also obtained the assistance of generals Zhang Liao and Yu Jin, secretly recruited tiger and leopard cavalry, and finally defeated the loose coalition of Prince Wen.
"I originally thought that the situation would change after Chu Zimou left Xuzhou, but I didn't expect that it would be even worse. Without Chu Zimou, who would be in charge in Xuzhou? Will that person send troops to support me? Now it's a desperate situation!"
Gongziwen turned to the defensive. He was worried that he would not be able to defend Dingtao, and Xuzhou refused to send reinforcements.
Xue Yue took the initiative to contact Gong Ziwen: "Our Xia Pi Xiang in Xuzhou has decided to send Zhou Yafu's army to support, and appointed Xu Rong as the cavalry captain to assist your coalition forces in commanding the cavalry."
"I was also worried that the person who was in charge of Xuzhou's internal affairs didn't know what it meant. I didn't expect her to react so quickly. It seems that I was overly worried. With the help of Zhou Yafu and Xu Rong this time, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to capture Dingtao."
Gongziwen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xuzhou had sent Zhou Yafu and Xu Rong.
…
After Cao Cao's army defeated the Yanzhou Allied Forces, they pursued 30 kilometers south, killed 20,000 Yanzhou Allied Forces, and made an forced landing of 30,000. The remaining troops retreated towards Dingtao City.
Just like Chu Tian lost half of his elite troops in the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao lost half of his elite troops in the Battle of Yanzhou.
Xun You, the mastermind who was recruited by the player to Cao Cao's camp, suggested: "Although our army has suffered a lot of losses, the enemy's morale has been lost. We can take advantage of the victory to pursue it and conquer Yanzhou in one fell swoop, achieving an unparalleled feat."
A group of players encouraged: "Take this opportunity to annex the entire Yanzhou, especially the coalition stronghold Dingtao!"
Cao Cao finally won and passed the most difficult period. As long as he laid the foundation and captured Gong Ziwen, the anti-Cao Cao alliance would naturally collapse, and no one could stop him from occupying Yanzhou.
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he thought that the anti-Cao Cao alliance called by Chu Zimou was about to collapse.
"Why are you laughing, my lord?"
"I laugh at Chu Zi for his foolish plan, leaving only one woman to guard the house. If he had left a talented person to guard the house, how would he let us succeed?"
"My lord, that woman...not long ago defended her home with ten thousand men and defeated a hundred thousand allied army."
"..."
Cao Cao found that he had underestimated Xia Liang's abilities.
"Report! Xuzhou sent an army of 40,000 people to reinforce Dingtao, and the commander is Zhou Yafu!"
"Report! Xu Rong has been appointed as the Cavalry Commander of the Yanzhou Allied Forces and has arrived in Dingtao City!"
"Report! Other legions in Xuzhou are mobilizing. The marching location is unknown, the stationing location is unknown, and some towns are recruiting troops for unknown purposes!"
When Cao Cao learned about Xuzhou's quick response, he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye. Originally, he could occupy the entire Yanzhou in one go, but now that Xuzhou forces have intervened in the Yanzhou battle, it will take years and months to successfully attack Dingtao.
"Chu Zi has found a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
Cao Cao was targeted again and was greatly depressed. This time he wanted to compete with Zhou Yafu.
As long as Zhou Yafu can't hold on and drags Chu Zimou's main force back to Xuzhou, then Cao Cao will once again face the fear of being dominated by Chu Zimou.
…
Chutian, who was on the battlefield of the National War, didn't know what was happening in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, so he could only leave it to his subordinates to deal with it.
He assembled a large number of troops and prepared to go and destroy a Korean lord and a Japanese lord.
The injured Zhao Yun was left by Chu Tian to defend the city, and the Sui Dynasty's fierce general Shi Wansui temporarily took Zhao Yun's place.
Chu Tian assembled 12,000 main troops, including Zhao Long's Jizhou cavalry, and 14,000 servants, to attack the city near the woods in the west.
"I wonder if Cao Cao is still being suppressed by Gong Ziwen?"
"And what about Xuzhou now..."
Chu Tian suddenly felt a little worried about what happened in Xuzhou.
