Chapter 996

After two months of preparation, Zhang Yu's troops and generals were all mobilized.

At this time, sun CE didn't mean to attack Zhang Yu at all. Sun CE was fighting with CAI Mao in the West and didn't care about this side.

Zhang Yu and Cao Cao are ready.

Zhang Yu did not go to the west line in person, but gave it to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Yu is still in the new Peiping. On this day, he is studying it.

"Lord, we attack the west line first, and then launch the east line half a month later, which makes Cao Cao tired of dealing with it."

Now, the troops on the eastern front are not fully assembled. If they are assembled too early, Zhang Yu's goal will be exposed.

"Well, my king immediately ordered Wen Yuan to attack."

Zhang Yu agreed to the plan, so he ordered Zhang Liao to attack.

On Zhang Liao's side, there will be Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, as well as a group of young generals.

To arrange Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong there is also to attract Cao Cao's attention and make them believe that they want to attack there.

At the same time, taishici's harassment near Yecheng also attracted Cao Cao's attention.

Cao Cao was in a mess. At this time, after he personally inquired about the logistics, he knew how much influence the western front had on them.

Basically, Cao Cao's territory has entered a state of stagnation.

A large number of civil servants were recruited, and their money and food were also used for war.

At this time, Cao Cao could not even give rewards to the soldiers.

After Zhang Yu ordered the attack, it was fully operational, and a large number of support continued to be transported to the west line.

"Yuan family?"

Zhang Yu asked, does the yuan family dare to fight Cao Cao now?

But Xi Zhicai said, "Lord, the yuan family still has hundreds of thousands of troops. They are obviously not willing to lose so much land and are thinking about fighting back. At this time, we should cooperate with them and will not refuse."

Zhang Yu thought about it and said, "you can try it. I want you to go to Changshan County to plan it and help Wenyuan at the same time."

Xi Zhicai agreed immediately.

Zhang Yu also said: "all safety first, do not take risks."

Xi Zhicai goes to prepare and leaves in two days.

A few days later, Zhang Liao received the news.

In Changshan County, 300000 troops have been gathered.

"Hansheng, you take 50000 heavy cavalry to follow the infantry, in the middle."

"Zilong, take 30000 light cavalry and harass the rear of Cao's army."

"Huang Xu and other young generals gather 50000 cavalry and start from the right road."

Zhang Liao began to distribute troops, starting from several routes.

All will be ordered to prepare.

Zhang Liao wants to fight the new city built by Cao Cao there.

Before the new town was built, it was just a rudiment, but the city wall was half finished and could be used as a city wall.

Cao Jiang received the news that he had let the workers and men into the city to escape, and no one outside the city continued to build the city there.

Zhang Liao gathered 250000 troops and rushed at Cao Jun.

General Cao is ready.

The armies are also ready.

Zhang Liao's Chinese army was slow and not in a hurry. They also brought some siege equipment.

More than a hundred miles away, Zhang Liao and his family arrived two days later, and after arriving, they built a camp.

Zhang Liao began to make arrangements, and the Cao army in the city has been strengthening their defense.

XiahouDun was the chief general, and he had 160000 troops in his hands, which were set up in the city. At the same time, there were other troops around the area.

XiahouDun, caohong and XiaHouYuan are all here.

A new day came, Zhang Liao began to attack, regular attack.

It's not a fierce fight.

After a day's fighting, each side lost more than 3000 people.

XiahouDun had been watching the battle at the head of the city.

In the evening, Zhang Liao and them retreated.

Xia Houdun said to Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan, "Zhang Liao is going to besiege us for a long time. When they fight today, they still have a small number of recruits training."

Yes, after all, these troops were recruited in a hurry. Although they were all added to the veterans, the number of recruits in each army was only about a quarter, it also affected the combat effectiveness.

So Zhang Liao sent 20000 people to train in the rear every day.

The first day of attack was not fierce, and the second day of attack was the same.

Three days later, keep a certain intensity of attack every day.

During the three-day attack, more than 8000 people were killed or injured on both sides.

In three days, Zhao Yun and his troops had already gone out for more than 200 Li and searched the place more than 200 Li.

"It seems that Cao Jun has already transported all the grain and grass in advance." Zhao Yun said after searching again.

Before intelligence, Cao Jun was still transporting grain and other materials, but at this time their activities stopped.

This completely proves that Cao Jun has accumulated a lot of grain and grass in the city, and there is no need to transport them in the short term.

Zhao Yun searched around for more than 200 Li. He had been found that someone was staring at him.

However, Zhao Yun is a light cavalry, coming and going quickly, often out of their surveillance, they can only search according to the trace.

Zhao Yun jumped to the outside line just to sneak attack Cao Jun, but three days later, there was no target.

Zhao Yun hid in a dense forest to study the map.

"All the Cao troops around have shrunk back. My 30000 troops have no effect in a short time."

Zhao Yun gently knocked on the map with a piece of grass in his mouth. After thinking for half a day, he said, "just leave the battlefield and give Cao Jun a blow in other places."

Changshan County is important because it is on the west line and adjacent to six counties, four of which are Cao Cao's territory.

Occupy here, several directions can attack, so Cao Cao will be so concerned.

"If I have 30000 light cavalry and enough food and grass, it's not a problem to attack them from a thousand miles. If I use 30000 cavalry to threaten them in one direction and make them have to step up their back, it can completely disrupt their arrangement." Zhao Yun looks at the map and analyzes it.

He thought of two directions. One was the Qingqi to attack Julu County, but Julu was the essence of Jizhou.

Second, they attacked Zhao state in the southeast, which made Cao Jun feel that their way back could be cut off at any time.
