Chapter 1027: Prelude to the Decisive Battle

Sun Ce was shocked when he received more news.

He was still secretly happy about the battle between Zhang Yu and Cao Cao. The two great princes fought, how could they feel better.

Sun Ce is still ambitious, to see if he can take Jingzhou before they decide the winner, and then the three kingdoms will stand together.

Generally, it is normal for this kind of decisive battle to be fought for two or three years.

How did you know that Zhang Yu attacked across the board, as if he wanted to overwhelm everything.

This may determine the outcome in just a few months, or even shorter.

But Cao Cao felt the pressure, and even attacked him in advance.

Sun Ce was naturally shocked. There are still some scattered cities along the Yangtze River, and these cities are also very important.

Sun Ce hurriedly sent Zhou Yu out, and a line of defense had to be established.

Don't want Sun Ce to fight fiercely here, but the back road was copied.

Sun Ce is also very annoyed now. He had an advantage over Cai Mao, defeated him, controlled the Yangtze River, and completely controlled Dongting Lake. There is no need to worry that the enemy will go to Changsha again.

But now something has changed.

Sun Ce was so annoyed that he could only temporarily stop attacking Cai Mao.

But Cai Mao has been expanding his army, and if this continues, Sun Ce will have a hard time.

The eyes of the world once again focused on Jizhou.

Zhang Yu mobilized 600,000 troops, and Cao Cao also had nearly 500,000 troops.

In three directions, to the west, Zhang Liao has also killed, with an army of 200,000, Zhang Liao cooperates with Guo Jia.

In the north, Zhang Yu personally brought 150,000.

To the northeast, Huang Zhong led an army of 200,000 troops.

And Zhao Yun's 50,000 troops are still wandering around.

Cao Jun is in Jizhou, and only two counties have been compressed.

Two counties, millions of troops will fight here.

Zhang Yu is still adjusting the soldiers and horses, but the adjustment will be completed soon.

A few days later, Zhang Yu received the battle situation in Hefei City.

"Don't worry, this king will definitely kill and regain the city."

They are all good soldiers, and when they kill the last person, they still want Cao Jun to charge.

With such an army and such a military spirit, Zhang Yu is absolutely confident in facing all enemies.

Hearing such news, Zhang Yu was naturally very sad.

He also wanted his soldiers to survive, even if the city was lost, Zhang Yu would not blame them.

But they are a group of thoughtful troops. Faced with such a situation, they are still unwilling to give up.

Zhang Yu's army has assembled, and the final decisive battle is about to begin.

He put aside what happened in Hefei City, and he might even cruelly ignore Jiangdong's soldiers and let them fend for themselves.

"Order Gao Shun to speed up the attack and enter the hinterland of Yanzhou as soon as possible, but a relatively strong camp needs to be established in the rear to hold back Cao's army."

"Order, Taishi Ziyi, find a way to fight Cao Ang."

The purpose of Zhang Yu's two orders is to prepare for the decisive battle.

The two armies held back, plus Cao Jun's army attacking Jiangdong, have invested more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Cao Jun has a total of more than one million troops, and has lost more than 300,000 troops.

If Cao Jun wants to consolidate other directions, he must reduce Jizhou's support, and even after the fight begins, there is no way to provide support.

After Gao Shun received the order, he began to prepare.

"Zhou Cang, I order you to take 20,000 troops to occupy Jiuli Mountain and Mangdang Mountain for a generation, and find a place to build a camp." After Gao Shun received the news, he immediately accelerated his attack.

To the west of Xuzhou is the hinterland of Yanzhou. This place is originally heavily defended. Once it is attacked, several armies may surround the enemy.

But now, Cao Cao didn't have many soldiers and horses, and Gao Shun judged that there should not be many troops.

Even if there are still many troops, risks must be taken.

The north is about to start fighting.

Gao Shun had to do this at this time.

Zhou Cang hurried forward with an army of 20,000.

Gao Shun also accelerated his advance.

He brought 50,000 heavy infantry, and he couldn't be quicker.

Cao Cao was fighting on all sides, just dancing on the edge of the blade. Once there was a major loophole in one place, there might be a big defeat.

Cao Cao understood very well.

But he had to block Zhang Yu and buy himself time.

When Tai Shici received the news, he also launched a fierce attack on Cao Ang.

Cao Cao understood that the last moment was approaching.

He is also gearing up.

Finally, Zhang Yu arrived.

He directly led the army to a hundred miles away from Yecheng.

Zhang Yu took Dian Wei as a general, and the rest were young generals.

The army surrounded Cao Cao's city of Ye.

"Everyone, Zhang Yu has already been killed, and the battle of success or failure is at this moment." Cao Cao summoned all the senior generals and civil servants this time.

Cao Cao sat at the top of the State Shepherd's Mansion, glanced around, and then said: "Our army has captured Jiangdong Poyang Lake and other areas, and re-established the rear. In this battle, we only need to block Zhang Yu's attack. Just attack."

"Block Zhang Yu's attack and we will win."

Cao Cao began to officially announce his grand strategy and announced his arrangements in other directions.

Many people who didn't know were naturally shocked.

Cao Cao announced the news to eliminate hidden dangers.

Naturally, doing so means that you don't even have confidence, and you need to make arrangements in advance.

But also let them feel at ease, tell them that the back road is prepared for you, we will not lose, just fight.

Cao Cao's trick is very clever.

He personally sits in town, which can explain the problem very well.

Afterwards, several counselors under Cao Cao came out to make an analysis, which made all the generals feel at ease.

Thus, the battle officially began.

Zhang Yu went hundreds of miles away, and then he couldn't enter.

His current role is to hold back the army in Yecheng, so that the armies in the other two directions can let go of their attacks.

Especially the army that attacked the giant deer.

Julu is just to the west of Yecheng, and it is the last barrier.

Zhang Liao had already pushed over with an army of 200,000.

At this time, Cao Cao did not dare to send troops to support, Zhang Yu was a hundred miles away, once he sent troops to support, Zhang Yu would directly kill him.

Zhang Liao attacked first.

An army of 200,000 marched past.

Then, Huang Zhong also killed from Qinghe County in the northeast.

The goal of the three people is Yecheng.

Of course, they also need to clear the surrounding area.

The three armies came to kill.

"The final decisive battle is here to decide the ownership of this Hebei province, take down Jizhou, and this king will rule the world." Zhang Yu said looking into the distance.

At this time, the big man had no emperor, but some little thieves tried to claim the emperor in vain, but except Guo Si, the others were quickly wiped out.

Zhang Yu also had ambitions and was ready to become emperor.

When he takes down Jizhou, he will be the number one prince.

Proclaiming emperor at this time can attract talents from all over the world.

The Chuanguo Yuxi is also in his hands.

He proclaimed himself emperor, and no one could attack him.

Zhang Yu no longer needs the pretense of King Bohai, what kind of prince, he is not rare for the prince of a big man.

When he proclaims himself emperor, he is orthodox.
