The main force of the pottery merchant's troops is now approaching our county.
Due to the slow response to Cao Cao's move, Xuzhou's military preparations were hasty. This time, Tao Shang did not mobilize all three armies because he did not have so much time to prepare. He only mobilized the most elite troops under his command, the Xuzhou Army.
He Jin led the army, with a total of 70,000 soldiers, and was assisted by Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other senior generals, and went straight to the western front of Xuzhou.
When we were about three hundred miles away from my county, the pottery man suddenly thought of something.
Should I lead my troops and horses to suddenly appear on the battlefield in our county so early?
He had just calculated that Cao Cao would send troops to snatch Yuan Yao and his group from him, but with Cao Cao's cunning and ferocity, he would definitely not let the main force of his Chinese army appear so soon.
Based on Cao Cao's bad temper, he must have sent a general as a vanguard officer just like he sent Zhao Yun, while the main force of Cao Cao's army led by himself was on the alert, staying the same to cope with any changes, and striking out later.
After thinking about this, the pottery merchant was not in a hurry to send troops. He asked Guo Jia to express his thoughts and asked him to help him with the details.
After listening to the pottery merchant's words, Guo Jia didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Guo Jia stood up and said to Tao Shang: "Guo has a plan, but he is only 50% sure. If Guo's guess is right, Cao's army will return without success. If it is wrong, our army will return without success."
The situation may be passive, it depends on whether you dare to take a risk, Taifu."
The potter blinked his eyes and said, "What's the plan?"
Guo Jia stood up and led the pottery merchant to the map in the tent, and said to him: "Between my county and Chaoqiu county, there is a valley called Lu Valley. It is not accessible from the official road and does not reach the outskirts of the county, so it is not very
Because he was respected by others, Guo only found out about this mountain road after he became the head of the school affairs office and asked his school officials to explore the terrain of Xuzhou. This can be said to be from the eastern boundary of Yanzhou to the western boundary of Xuzhou, or to the southeastern boundary of Yuzhou.
The best place to hide troops..."
The potter seemed to be enlightened: "What do you mean?"
Guo Jia looked at the pottery merchant deeply and said: "If Cao Cao leads an army to the western front of Xuzhou to snatch people, if Guo is him, he will definitely station troops here... But if we change the route now and go straight to Lu Valley
And if Cao Cao is not there, we will not be able to handle Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang over there in our county, and I am afraid that everything will be lost by then."
Tao Shang clapped his hands gently and said calmly: "But if Tao succeeds in blocking Cao Cao's central army, then with the abilities of Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, they will definitely find a way to deal with Cao Cao's partial army! And I am here
This time, Zhuge Liang was equipped with a battalion of sharp weapons. With his wisdom and Zhao Yun's skill in fighting... No matter which general Cao Cao goes, he should be able to defeat him! The one who will gain nothing by then will be Cao Cao."
Guo Jia couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "What is a sharp weapon...?"
The potter did not answer him directly.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Tell Xu Huang that the entire army should change direction and go to Lugu!"
Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this: "Have you really made up your mind? Guo is just guessing about this matter. If Cao Cao is not here..."
There was a smile on Tao Shang's lips: "If Cao Cao is not here, the worst I can do is lose Yuan Yao and all the people who moved north to him! Gambling, there is always a little risk... You must win in danger.
Whose life is not full of tears?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said, "I really admire you. Why does Guo sometimes feel like your life is just for fun?"
The pottery merchant gently snapped his fingers and said, "Because I can play well."
When Guo Jia heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
I've never seen someone so good at climbing along the pole. It's so shameless.
…
Tao Shang made up his mind to take a gamble and completely hand over the battle line in our county to Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, while he led the main force of the Chinese army to redirect north to meet what he believed to be Cao Cao's main force.
Zhao Yun is currently fighting against the Huainan Army.
Liu Pi, Gong Du and Zhou Cang's soldiers and horses were holding on to Yuan Yao's main formation at this moment, allowing Liu Xun to command the Huainan soldiers to fight Zhao Yun without interfering at all.
Although Huainan's soldiers and horses were more than twice that of Zhao Yun, no matter how fiercely the Huainan soldiers attacked, they could not defeat Zhao Yun's stronghold.
Just because the 10,000 soldiers and horses under Zhao Yun are all the elite of Jinling City, and they have already arranged defensive positions on the official road, leading the attack with defense, and preventing the Huainan soldiers from crossing the thunder pool.
Of course, the biggest headache for the Huainan Army was Zhao Yun himself and the Jinling White Horse Army behind him.
On the city wall of our county, the soldiers who had been observing the situation in the distance passed the news to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and carefully observed the situation on the official road in the distance.
Since Zhao Yun's Dazhai was set up some distance away from our county, Zhuge Liang couldn't see clearly the situation on the battlefield for a while. He could only hear the faint sound of shouts of death in the distance and the sound of horse hooves rushing back and forth.
Although the specific situation is not clear, through some subtle details, everyone can still see that Zhao Yun has the upper hand at the moment.
Seeing this, the officials in our county couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Ten thousand people can defeat twice as many enemies. If this is the case, Zhao Yun is truly a famous general.
"Your Majesty, let's go out of the city to meet General Zhao!"
Facing the eager county officials, Zhuge Liang did not lose his mind. He swayed his feather fan gently, as if he was thinking about something.
"Don't worry, the Huainan soldiers, General Zhao and his men are enough to deal with it... What we have to wait for are the enemies who have not yet arrived here."
Enemies who haven't arrived here yet?
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all confused.
Who could Zhuge Liang be referring to?
At this moment, within the Huainan Army formation, more than a thousand Jinling White Horse Army led by Zhao Yun were rampaging and running back and forth under his leadership.
The Jinling White Horse Army, led by Zhao Yun, relied on their powerful impact to rush straight into the opponent's central formation.
Most of the Huainan soldiers were infantry, and before they had time to react or resist, they were overwhelmed by this storm of cavalry.
"Kill, kill, charge!"
"The Jinling Cavalry is really hateful! How dare you despise our army like this! Everyone surround us from the sides, don't let them escape!"
"Come and accept your fate!"
Screams came one after another, and the shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.
Although the soldiers of the Jinling White Horse Army were encircling and suppressing one wave after another, the tactics used by Zhao Yun and others were too many and complicated. This light cavalry was good at using both spears and bows and crossbows, and was almost invincible.
Unfortunately, the Huainan Army's offensives were defeated by them, and they retreated steadily as a last resort.
The Jinling White Horse Army attacked and killed the Huainan Army in the formation, and the other Jinling Army were not idle either. They attacked the Huainan Army from the front and outside. The cavalry and infantry cooperated inside and outside, and almost defeated all Liu Xun's layout.
Facing such a formidable enemy, Liu Xun was trembling with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Yuan Yao, who was in the rear, could not help but feel a little timid when he saw that his side was defeated.
When he was about to discuss with Liu Pi and others whether to withdraw his troops temporarily, a sound of horse hooves and shouts suddenly came from the west.
Yan Xing and Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses arrived suddenly at this time!
