Chapter 827: Sun Ce Dispatches Troops

According to the intelligence provided by Shi A, after receiving the news that Liu Bei sent troops to support Liu Yu, Bingzhou Lu Bu's army in Yanmen seemed to have made unusual movements. Xu Shu speculated that Lu Bu might send troops to Dai County. In this way, it became a four-way war. It is estimated that in the end, the two Lius will be destroyed by the powerful vassals on both sides.

At this time, Yuan Shao also suddenly sent troops. Yan Liang and Wen Chou each led 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to attack the Yellow Turban World in Lingshou and Xintianyou in Shangquyang respectively.

Although the two players led their troops to fight desperately, they were like a mantis trying to stop a car with a few cities against a powerful vassal of several counties. In just a few days, the two lost a city each. If this continues, it is estimated that the two will not be able to hold on for long and will be destroyed by Yuan Shao.

The movements of the two major vassal states in the north made Huangfu Chaobo moved. After reading it himself, he immediately handed the information to Pang Tong beside him, and then picked up another piece of information to look at it carefully.

On the 20th, the day when Huang Zhong's troops began to attack Langling, Cao Cao's 100,000 troops finally arrived at Xiapi City, and the Cao-Yuan war began.

However, because of the disappearance of Ji Ling's army, Cao Cao was also worried. The 100,000 troops gathered together and began to attack Xiapi City fiercely. At the same time, the only 1,000 light cavalry in his hands were scattered far away to carefully look for the movements of Ji Ling's army.

Unfortunately, no matter how Cao Cao looked for it, Ji Ling's 50,000 troops were like a drop in the ocean, and they never disappeared.

In Xiapi City, in addition to the 10,000 defenders of Xiapi Xiang Yuan Yin, Yuan Shu sent Liang Gang and Chen Ji to lead 40,000 troops to station. However, later, in order to block the passage of Cao Cao's army from Donghai County to Guangling, Yuan Yin discussed with Liang Gang and Chen Ji, and handed over 10,000 of the 40,000 soldiers to a deputy general to station in Quyang City.

Even so, the 40,000 Yuan Shu troops in Xia Pi City were not under much pressure in the face of the attack of Cao Cao's 100,000 troops.

Until two days ago, Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shu's army were still deadlocked under Xia Pi City, and there was no progress. You know, a 100,000-strong army attacking a city defended by 30,000 combat soldiers and 10,000 guards is not as simple as a 50,000-strong army attacking a city defended by 5,000 guards.

Sun Ce in Jiangdong saw that the Andong Army and Cao Cao's army had already started fighting with Yuan Shu's army, and finally boarded the navy's ship two days ago. The news was in everyone's sight. However, Huangfu Chaobo knew that Sun Ce had most likely gone to Guangling. If nothing unexpected happened, the news of Sun Ce's army attacking Guangling would be heard in the next two days.

The next morning, the captured Yuan Shu army and civilians were escorted back to Xincai. Huangfu Chaobo ordered that all the prisoners, including the squadron leaders and above, be detained separately, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers be detained together. These soldiers are elite, but now Yuan Shu has not been destroyed, so they cannot be recruited into the army in large numbers. They can only consider such an operation after defeating Yuan Shu's army.

Huangfu Chaobo then ordered to recruit 2,000 soldiers from the civilians, and the Iron Wall Camp was responsible for training and arranging daily patrols and guarding the city. These civilians are all locals in Xincai, and Huangfu Chaobo can use them with confidence.

The rest of the soldiers were arranged by Huangfu Chaobo to return to attack the two county towns. In order to balance the forces, Huangfu Chaobo also sent Chen Jing's 5,000 Iron Eagles to Huang Zhong to increase his combat power. You know, although Zhang He only has 10,000 combat soldiers, he still has 50,000 player soldiers.

As for the war on both sides, Huangfu Chaobo was no longer prepared to care about it. The siege war was nothing more than this. It had to be filled with troops. There was no trick to take.

Although Huang Yi's army was annihilated, other cities still needed to be attacked one by one,

so the war behind was still long. Huangfu Chaobo was now thinking about where Ji Ling's 50,000 troops had gone. A full half month had passed, but there was still no news.

After entering Xincai County, Huangfu Chaobo's contact with Luoyang became smoother. In the next few days, Huangfu Chaobo handled the government affairs under the rule of the Andong Army in Xincai.

Two days later, Guangling finally received news that Sun Ce had indeed appeared in Donglingting Port and quickly captured Donglingting. After that, the 50,000 troops left thousands of people to defend Donglingting, and the rest of the troops quickly marched westward to Jiangdu. Seeing that his army was in Guangling as if it were no one's land, Sun Ce couldn't help but be full of confidence and excitement, thinking that he had finally taken the lead.

In fact, what he didn't know was that both Huangfu Chaobo and Cao Cao and Yuan Shu had already figured out his arrangement. This was the difference between having a counselor and not having one. The little tiger was good at fighting in all directions, but in terms of strategy, he could only laugh.

After staying in Xincai for a few days, Huangfu Chaobo went to Ancheng again. It had been several days. Huangfu Chaobo wanted to see what the arranged war was like. Although Huang Zhong had a battle report every day, he couldn't help but want to go and see the progress of the war.

When Huangfu Chaobo arrived in Ancheng, he happened to see the end of another round of attack. Looking at the soldiers who retreated like a tide, Huangfu Chaobo knew that the attack had failed again.

Huang Zhong looked up at the sky and it was almost noon, so he ordered a temporary withdrawal. The army returned to the camp and attacked the city after lunch.

In the central army tent of the camp, Huangfu Chaobo had a meal with Huang Zhong and other generals. After the meal, Huangfu Chaobo reported to Huang Zhong and others about the situation of the war.

Huang Zhong was silent for a while, then said: "I like this man. Although his martial arts are not outstanding, he is steady. Although his defense cannot be called watertight, he is a rare defender. In addition, with the 10,000 Yuan Shu soldiers in the city, the overall combat power is far stronger than the defenders of the cities in Runan, so it is still difficult to attack."

Then, he picked up the water cup, drank a sip gently, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Another reason is that this time, although our An Dong army has outstanding combat power, it only has 20,000 people. The other armies are all allied armies. Although they obey the dispatch, they are not as easy to use as our army. And..."

"Moreover, I need to take into account the losses of allied troops when I use troops, so I feel quite constrained when I attack the city."

Huangfu Chaobo thought for a while and said: "If it is the troops of foreigners, it may be so. Is it also the case with the troops of Yuzhou Army?"

After hearing this, the generals were also speechless and dared not say more.

Seeing this situation, Huangfu Chaobo understood everything and sighed, "Do you have any solution?"

"Actually, I have some ideas these days, but I don't know whether I should talk about them or not." Wang Ran said on the side;

"You can talk about it." Huangfu Chaobo nodded;
