Chapter 359 Thousands of troops enter the Central Plains (2)

As Zhuge Liang guessed, Cheng Yu was shocked after learning that Handan had fallen and Cheng Wu had retreated to Liang period.

Even before he set out, Cao Cao said, "Just defending Yecheng will be victorious." Cheng Yu did not think so. After experiencing the defeat in Guanjin, Cao Cao's reputation suffered a serious blow, and his originally indestructible dominance was also shaken. The monsters and monsters in Xudu City were ready to move, and they were suppressed by Cao Cao, but they were not eradicated...

Cao Cao could not have started a massacre in Liaodong like Liu Chuang to consolidate his dominance in Liaodong.

This time, Jia Xu provoked a rebellion in Liaodong and almost achieved success. However, after Liu Chuang's bloody massacre, I believe that for a long time, as long as Liu Chuang is still alive, Liaodong will be as solid as a god. The situation in Xudu is different. There are too many powerful people, too many noble families, and too many old ministers of the Han Dynasty. If Cao Cao learned to sacrificially raise the butcher's knife like Liu Chuang, it would probably cause a huge turmoil. As for Cao Cao's current situation, he is absolutely unbearable and he can only endure it.

If, if Handan is lost, those monsters and monsters will jump out again.

Cheng Yu was a firm Cao Party. In his mind, only Cao Cao could bear the word "wise ruler".

So no matter what, Handan cannot be lost!

He hurriedly called Cheng Wu and asked carefully about the Battle of Handan.

When Cheng Yu heard that the Han army used the thunder fire to stomp the city wall, he narrowed his eyes and thought about it.

The Han army did not invest much troops this time, because so far, there were no signs of troops being mobilized by Julu, Anping, Hejian and Qinghe counties. In other words, this sneak attack on Handan was also a test by Liu Chuang, who wanted to see his own reaction.

It is not surprising that Cheng Yu has this idea. Liu Chuang’s current situation is not very good.

He invested nearly 100,000 troops in Liangzhou and consumed countless supplies and food every day. In this case, did Liu Chuang have the spare energy to attack Jizhou? Cheng Yu expressed his great doubts about this! You must know that Liu Chuang expanded very quickly, but it also caused his foundation to be unstable.

In a short period of time, he obtained a large amount of territory and also plundered or recruited a large number of people. Liu Chuang himself had to bear huge pressure. In addition, the battle in Liangzhou further consumed Liu Chuang's strength. How could he be so confident and attack Jizhou with all his strength?

When Cheng Yu thought of this, he had already made up his mind.

"The destiny is still in Liaodong, so the Han army cannot mobilize too many troops.

I want to lead a large army to retake Handan, so you will defend Yecheng. I don’t care what you use, in short, I want to ensure the safety of Yecheng. After I regain Handan, I will return immediately."

"Father, why use a cattle knife to kill a chicken? Why should my father go to take back Handan? The child is willing to make meritorious contributions and ask his father to fulfill his promise."

To be honest, Cheng Wu feels quite cowardly.

In the battle of Handan, he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. He was defeated by the thunder and fire.

Cheng Yu glared, "What's the point of going?"

If I didn't give you the chance to make meritorious deeds, this time the Han army commander was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the tiger general of the world, how could you deal with it? If he hadn't blown up Handan City for convenience, he wouldn't dare to take Handan back easily. I know you were dissatisfied and thought that Zhang Liao won't use the Heavenly Thunder Fire to defeat it. But I ask you. If Zhang Liao still has Heavenly Thunder Fire in his hands, how should you deal with it?"

"this……"

Cheng Wu hesitated and couldn't help but lower his head.

He was indeed a little afraid of Tianleihuo, and he had no way to deal with it.

However, Cheng Wu was a little dissatisfied and asked: "The child did not have a solution to the thunder and fire that day. Could it be that his father knew how to deal with it?"

"It's always better than you are at a loss!"

Cheng Yu said something, making Cheng Wu blush.

During the Battle of Handan, when the city wall was blown up, he was indeed at a loss and did not launch a counterattack as soon as possible. But in that case, not to mention Cheng Wu, who is not the one in Handan, is not the master of the six gods? Even if he reacts in time, he cannot mobilize the panicked soldiers to fight. Because in that case, everyone is in chaos, what's the use of me even if I am sober?

But Cheng Wu dared not say these words.

At this moment, Cheng Yu set up a 20,000 army in Yecheng and headed straight for Liangqi.

In Liangqi City, Cao Xiu had just gathered the Cao army who had fled back, with about 8,000 people.

Including the soldiers and horses brought by Cheng Yu, the total strength is nearly 3,000. In addition, Wu'an County is still in the hands of Lu Kuang, and he also has at least thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands.

"Wenlie, Handan is the gateway to my Yecheng. If Handan is lost, my Yecheng will face the thieves.

So no matter what, we must regain Handan... This time I mobilized the troops to regain Handan as soon as possible. You are in Liangqi, can you send someone to investigate the situation in Handan? What are the soldiers and horses doing now? Can reinforcements come to Handan to help the war?"

Cao Xiu shook his head and said, "Report to the governor of the state, I have been inquiring about the movements of the thieves since yesterday.

After Zhang Liao occupied Handan, he divided some troops to block General Lu Kuang's reinforcements, and then ordered the restoration of the city wall.

From yesterday to now, they have been busy repairing the walls of Handan. There are no signs of reinforcements from Julu and Changshan Kingdom.”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he felt relieved.

He immediately ordered Cao Xiu to be the vanguard and lead 8,000 troops to Handan.

He personally led a large army behind him, and raised his troops early the next morning and rushed towards Handan...

However, only when Cheng Yu's army took action, Zhang Liao received the news.

He couldn't help but praise: "The military advisor is indeed a clever plan, and Cheng Yu really led his troops to come."

Zhuge Liang did not show any relaxation, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked softly: "General Wenyuan, how to repair the city wall in Handan?"

"Most of the gap has been filled, but some of them have not been completed yet."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, looked at Zhang Liao and said, "If this is the case, I am afraid that time will not wait for me."

Please ask General Wen Yuan to lead his troops to fight. No matter what means the general uses, I will definitely block Cao's army for a day. After one day, the general can retreat on his own."

This is definitely an extremely difficult task.

But in Zhang Liao's opinion, this matter seems to be not worth worrying.

He laughed and said, "Don't worry, the military advisor, Liao will definitely hold Cao's army back for one day!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The battle in Jizhou opened.

When Zhang Liao captured Handan, ten sea boats slowly came from Yingkou Town and docked at the mouth of the Zhang River.

Liu Chuang jumped out of the sea boat and strided towards the shore.

On the dock, a team of soldiers quickly set up a deck, and a flying bear guard slowly walked down from the boat with an elephant dragon horse.

Bohai Prefect Guo Yuan quickly walked forward and bowed to Liu Chuang.

"Master, we're finally here!"

When Liu Chuang saw Guo Yuan, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He stepped forward and hugged Guo Yuan for a while, then whispered in his ear: "Have Ziyi and Zhongkang arrived?"

"General Ziyi and General Zhongkang have arrived in Gaocheng, and 30,000 troops are stationed at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. They are looking forward to the lord, but they can't wait."

"Very good!"

Liu Chuang nodded and then let go of Guo Yuan.

He looked Guo Yuan up and down a few times. This guy was much thinner.

Liu Chuang said: "Public aid has done a good job in Bohai this year, and my uncle also praised you.

If it weren't for the busy government affairs, he wouldn't say he would come to visit you... If you have free time, it would be better to write a letter and report peace to your uncle."

Guo Yuan’s uncle is Zhong Yao.

He and Liu Chuang are nominal cousins, but in fact they have no blood relationship.

At the beginning, Guo Yuan was assisting Liu Chuang under the order of Zhong Yao, but he did not expect that in just four or five years, Zhong Yao became Liu Chuang's unit. However, after Zhong Yao arrived in Yanjing, he did not contact Guo Yuan. He was a surrendered general, so he naturally had to avoid taboos. If he formed a clique as soon as he came, it would easily make others disgusted. If this is true, it would not be a good thing for Zhong Yao or Guo Yuan.

What a slick person Zhong Yao is, how could he be upset with such mistakes?

When he arrived in Yanjing, he had been in contact with Xu You, Xun Chen, and Xinping. However, he was always worried about Guo Yuan.

In history, the nephew and uncle met each other in war, and Guo Yuan died at the hands of Zhong Yao.

Liu Chuang didn't know the result of Guo Yuan in history, but he was also very happy to see Zhong Yao and Guo Yuan reunite.

After a few greetings with Guo Yuan, Liu Chuang came to the temporary central army tent built by the port under Guo Yuan's leadership.

Liu Chuang sat down and asked about the current situation in Youzhou.

Guo Yuan smiled and said, "The lord is making a big reorganization in Liaodong, and all the people of Youzhou praise each other.

Even in Bohai, those powerful and prominent families are much more honest, and they are not as arrogant as before when they see me. They all want to pay tribute to the lord. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to come here to welcome the lord... By the way, what will the lord do next? Should I go straight to Yanshan, or go to Nanpi to rest first? Mr. Xun had sent someone to ask."

"My elder has any instructions?"

Guo Yuan whispered: "Kong Ming has already started his operation in Handan. The old man asked me to tell the lord that the soldiers are very fast, and it is only a day and night to capture Qingzhou."

The implication is that while everyone's attention is focused on Handan and Guanzhong, you can act...

Liu Chuang nodded, "Tomorrow you will take Feixiongwei back to Nanpi, Yuanfu and Xiping and I will travel lightly and simply to Yanshan to meet with Ziyi.

I declared to the public that I occasionally get cold in Liaodong and need to rest in Nanpi for two days, and then I will go directly to Handan to supervise the battle."

"Here!"

Guo Yuan hurriedly bowed to take the order, and then gave up on the excuse to let Liu Chuang rest and left.

It was indeed quite hard for Liu Chuang to come directly from Liaodong to cross the sea.

After running all the way, even if he is healthy, he can't hold on.

However, Liu Chuang had no intention of being sleepy at all, but stood up and kept wandering in the big tent.

After a long time, he suddenly stopped.
