The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 170

Xu Zhong and Xun Cheng encircled Xiaqiu and Quyang.

Although the two cities are strong and defend themselves, no matter how strong the city is, there will be times when it will be conquered. Moreover, these two cities are far from being the largest cities in the world, and there is no gold and soup, and their opponents are Xu Zhong and Xun respectively. become? You must know that there are Xun You, Guo Jia and others in Xu Zhong's army who planned the battle, and Liu Deng and Guan Zhang who fought for it. Xun Cheng's deputy was Xu Rong, and there were Qin Song and Xu Zhuo in the tent. Actually, as Xun Yu expected, within five days, Qu Yang was conquered first, and Xia Qiu also descended not long after that.

Two military texts reporting victory were successively spread to Guangling Prefecture.

Xun Zhen issued a military order: Xu and Xun were ordered to rest for a while and continue their respective northward journeys.

But said Xu Zhong here.

After Xiaqiu descended, there were only two counties of Tongguo and Torui to the north, and after conquering these two counties, it was time to cross Sishui and attack Xiapi County.

These two counties do not need the main force to attack, because these two counties are not as good as Xiaqiujian, and their garrison is far less than that of Xiaqiu. Therefore, Xu Zhong ordered the three armies to rest temporarily, and only sent Jiang Hu to attack Tongguo, Liu Deng went to take a look at it.

Second Colonel Jiang and Liu did not disgrace their lives: attacking Tong Guo, Jiang Hu beheaded his defenders;

After a few days of troops, the two counties were captured.

So far, since entering the territory of Xiapi, Xu Zhong has successively captured the six counties of Huailing, Xu, Xiaxiang, Xiaqiu, Tong and Queruan.

In particular, the four counties of Xu, Xiaqiu, Tonghe and Toju between the Huai River and Si River are all under their control, so that there is no worries after crossing the Si River.

While Xu Zhongsui arranged manpower to transport the prisoners back to Guangling, he dispatched troops and horses to guard the counties.

In mid-February, Xu Zhong crossed Sishui with the rested troops, came to the next minister, and joined Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei. After learning about the defense situation in Xiapi County and sending troops to attack it tentatively, Xu Zhong wrote a military report to Xun Zhen.

When Xun Zhen received the military report, it was written: "Ze Rong, Cao Bao, and Zhang Kai were sitting in the city guarding the city, and they were sending troops to attack. Everyone, if they don't go out now, if they are surrounded and attacked, it may delay the day. Joining the army said: 'It is better to pass Xiapi without attacking, deceive the East China Sea, transfer the enemy out of the city, and attack him halfway.' Is the plan feasible? The general's order is from."

"Xian" is Xu Zhong's self-proclaimed. Xun Zhen named him Xu Xian earlier.

After negotiating with Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others, Xun Zhen replied: "The general is outside, and it is appropriate when the opportunity arises. Gongda's plan is very good, you can follow the plan."

Xun You's strategy of dispatching troops out of the city and attacking them in the middle is similar to Zhao Yun's strategy of dispatching Zhang Kai to get out of the office. If the same strategy is used twice, will Cheng Rong and others in Xiapi County still be fooled? This is beyond doubt. Because the state administration of Tanxian County is something that Zhe Rong, Cao Bao, Zhang Kai and others must protect, once Xu Zhong led his troops into the territory of Donghai County, but the three of them were sitting still, they did not say that Tao Qian would be urged to blame. Even the military officers in their division would definitely be unable to sit still. Among them, especially in Cao Bao and Zhang Kai's Danyang Military Division, many officers were from Tao Qian's village and from the same clan. There are a lot of people who are loyal to Tao Qian, and, including Cao Bao and others, many of their family members and children are also in Tan County, so they cannot guarantee Tan County.

This is "the enemy must be saved".

When Zhao Yun hit the Sishui ferry that day, Zhang Kai had to save him; Xu Zhong went to Tanxian, and it was Cao Bao and others who had to save him.

After receiving Xunzhen's Huiwen military order, Xu Zhong arranged for the deployment, and ordered Liu Bei to lead his troops as the vanguard, self-introduced main force in the center, and Jiang Hu as the rear, leaving Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei still as ministers, and other appointments. Xiang Kai exited, headed north, and headed for the border of Donghai County.

From Xiaxiang to the northwest is Xiapi County, and from Xiaxiang to the north, there are Siwu and Liangcheng counties. After passing these two counties, there is no city to stop the north, and Tan County is ten miles away. .

Zhe Rong, Cao Bao, and Zhang Kai in Xiapi County heard this news, and their expressions were different.

Zhang Kai said: "Xu Zhong did not attack Xiapi, but went north. Is he going to invade Donghai County?"

Zhe Rong said: "There are still two counties of Liangcheng and Siwu in the north of the lower minister. He should not attack the East China Sea, but to take Liangcheng and Siwu?"

Cao Bao glared at Zhe Rong, and said, "When I came from the East China Sea, I passed through Liangcheng County, your county. The defenses in the county were empty, and there were no more than two or three hundred guards. Although I didn't know about Si Wu, I expected it to be similar to Liangcheng. How can you stop Xu Junqing?"

Liangcheng and Siwu originally had some garrisoned troops, but under Xu Zhong's streak of victories, Zherong transferred most of Liangcheng and Siwu's garrison to Xiapi County to protect himself, so that the defense of these two counties is now Fake.

In fact, Zerong's deployment is not entirely wrong.

Instead of dividing troops into counties, it is better to stick to Xiapi.

As long as Xiapi County can hold it, it will be able to block Xu Zhong's army's northward road; if Xiapi County can't hold it, then Siwu and Liangcheng will be Bairao. However, he did not expect that Xu Zhong would not come to attack Xiapi County, but instead advance northward from the lower minister.

After Cao Bao arrived in Xiapi County Middle School, he couldn't get along with Zhe Rong everywhere, and Zhe Rong had long bothered him. A defeated general, if it wasn't because of the timely arrival of the Cheng army, he would have been lying dead outside Xiaxiang City. Now he is doing well. Instead of saving his life, he will find fault everywhere. Cheng Rong really wants to turn his face, but he knows that. If you want to defend Xiapi County, you really cannot do without the Danyang soldiers in Cao Bao's department.

For this reason, Zhe Rong just pretended not to hear his accusation, and said to Zhang Kai, "What do you think of the captaincy?"

Zhang Kai said hesitantly: "Xu Junqing won't be playing tricks, do you want to transfer me to wait outside the city to fight?"

Zhang Kai suffered a big loss from Zhao Yun's "Tiaohu out of the mountain" in the next phase. Although he was lucky to save his life, he left a heavy shadow in his heart. Therefore, he guessed Xu Zhong's intention at the first time.

"The captain's concerns are not unreasonable."

Cao Bao angrily said, "So what? Could it be that I'll just close the city in Xiapi and watch him enter the East China Sea?"

This is indeed a dilemma.

If you go out of the city, you may be caught in Xu Zhong's plan; if you don't go out of the city, Tan County may be attacked.

So, is it out of town or out of town?

Zhe Rong said: "Fang Bo strictly ordered me to keep the city closed and not allowed to fight. Now that Xu Junqing is probably playing tricks, why should I wait for myself?"

Cao Bao changed color with enthusiasm, and said angrily: "As you said, should I wait and watch Tan County being attacked?"

"Then what do you say?"

"If you don't want to leave the city, you can defend yourself, but you have to divide your troops with me. I will bring my own rank to attack, so that he does not enter the East China Sea!"

"It's not like you don't have a part~www.mtlnovel.com~Why do you want me to divide my troops?"

"My troops are few, and I can't fight against Xu Junqing." Cao Bao said, "If you don't want to send troops, you can do it, wait for Fang Bo to order it, and see how you handle yourself!"

Cao Bao took Tao Qian to suppress Zhe Rong, but Zhe Rong had no choice but to say, "I don't have many soldiers, so I can only give you five hundred."

"At least a thousand people!"

After a lot of haggling, Cao Bao was still unable to beat him, so Zhe Rong could only give him a thousand troops.

Cao Bao went out of the meeting hall and came to the road with Zhang Kai. He said to Zhang Kai, "I think Zherong has the heart to protect himself. After I lead the troops out of the city, you must closely monitor him in the city. He seems to have two intentions. You can kill it!"

Zhang Kai agreed, looked at Cao Bao worriedly, and said, "I expect Xu Junqing to attack the East China Sea in the north, and it will be a plan. The general must be very careful when he leaves the city this time!"

Cao Bao snorted and said, "Xia Xiangcheng, just because my unit is not good at night battles, so I lost for a while. Today I am going to compete with my generation again!"
