"Kill! The first to reach the top will be rewarded with 1,000 gold! The one who kills Liu Bei will be rewarded with 1,000 gold and three ranks! "
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! "
"Kill!
Kill! "
"...
Kill! "
In the morning, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's army had arrived at Peng City. They immediately launched an attack.
In Yuan Shu's eyes, Liu Bei was nothing. What reason did he have to occupy Xu Province? It could be said that Yuan Shu did not place Liu Bei and his soldiers in his eyes. Peng City was already in the bag for Yuan Shu.
At this moment, Liu Bei was not even a warlord. Naturally, he was not valued by the other factions. This was especially true for someone as arrogant as Yuan Shu. He looked down on Liu Bei. He felt that Liu Bei did not have the virtue to occupy Peng City.
In fact, due to Yang Rui's rise in the game, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's experiences had changed accordingly.
For example, in Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, due to Yang Rui's intention, the credit for killing Hua Xiong fell to Dian Wei. Even if Liu, Guan, and Zhang did not miss the part where the Three Heroes of Hulao Pass fought against Lu Bu, Yang Rui's fame had completely overshadowed Liu Bei and the other two.
Compared to historical events, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not as famous. As such, it was not only Yuan Shu who looked down on Liu Bei and the others. Sun Jian also felt that Peng City was within their reach.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! "
"Kill!
Kill! "
"Kill!
Kill! "
"...
Kill! "
Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's allied forces were determined to win. They launched an attack from all four sides of Peng City at the same time. They wanted to capture the entire city in one go. Arrows flew like locusts, shouts shook the sky, swords and spears were like snow, and their imposing manner was like a rainbow. The complexion of the people in Peng City changed.
A huge battle began. However, it was not as simple as what Yuan Shu and Sun Jian imagined. In the following time. Arrows were flying up and down the city wall. Soldiers were fighting hand-to-hand with each other at the junction of the wooden ladders and the city wall. However, none of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's subordinates were able to successfully climb up the city wall.
Not only that, but Yuan Shu's and Sun Jian's troops who were attacking the city from all directions also suffered a great loss. The siege soldiers were reaped wave after wave like straws. There were soldiers being shot down from the city walls at every moment, or directly killed by arrows, rolling stones, and kerosene!
Liu Bei was not easy to deal with. Occupying the city was a very obvious advantage. At the same time, Liu Bei had also made very thorough preparations to defend the city.
When Yuan Shu and Sun Jian gradually realized this point, Sun Jian and Sun Jian gradually realized this point. Four hours had already passed, and the two of them reluctantly beat the gong to temporarily withdraw their troops.
...
"Generals, how do you think we should deal with this?"
At Yang Rui's camp, Cao Cao's tens of thousands of cavalry had been defeated several times by Yang Rui's troops. However, after each defeat, Cao Cao's cavalry would rely on their light equipment to easily escape.
Later on, when Yang Rui's troops retreated, Cao Cao's tens of thousands of cavalry would carefully harass Yang Rui's troops again.
Just as Guo Jia had said, Cao Cao's goal of luring the enemy was obvious. Yang Rui did not think that there would be any problems near the camp. Then, he operated Sky City to investigate further south and found that Cao Cao's army had not set up any traps along the way. It was as if he was just rushing south.
Seeing this, everyone, including Guo Jia, changed their opinion slightly. They thought that Cao Cao was using the tens of thousands of cavalry as a cover while he was actually moving his troops.
However, when they thought about it, they realized that there was no need. Yang Rui's troops were just defending the camp. Normally, they would not be a threat to Cao Cao's troops. Thus, Cao Cao's actions were a little strange.
It was only when Yang Rui's Sky City discovered Lu Bu's vanguard that everyone began to understand. Everyone's doubts were gradually solved. Cao Cao's previous actions were undoubtedly to lure the enemy!
"My Lord, ever since we left Xu Province and returned to Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Lu Bu and Lu Bu had been planning to attack each other. Cao Cao's and Lu Bu's armies had the intention of converging. However, they did not expect that Lu Bu's army was still halfway there. This must be the result of Lu Bu and Cao Cao's two people watching and evading responsibility.
At this time, Cao Cao's troops are moving south. At the same time, he sent his cavalry to lure the enemy. He is probably trying to lure our troops to a decisive battle. When that time comes, Cao Cao only needs to slightly mobilize his troops and Lu Bu's troops will not be able to avoid it.
Cao Cao's move of borrowing the enemy's strength to fight the enemy's strength may be out of helplessness, but it is also the essence of the art of war. If not for the fact that Sky City is very convenient for Your Lordship to investigate, you would not have been able to find out the whole situation so easily. Perhaps Lu Bu and I would also be led by the nose by Cao Cao...
"..."
Guo Jia's words gained the approval of Yang Rui and the people around him.
The truth was not much different from what Guo Jia had said. As Lu Bu had been avoiding battle and trying to delay the march of his troops to take advantage of the situation, Cao Cao was also unwilling to face Yang Rui's troops alone. Helpless, Cao Cao simply took the initiative to move closer to Lu Bu's troops.
Didn't you want to hide? Didn't you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to take advantage of the situation? Then let's lure the trouble to Lu Bu and make it unavoidable!
Cao Cao sent his cavalry to lure the enemy. His real purpose was to lure Yang Rui's troops to Lu Bu. At that time, it would be hard to say who would be the one taking the initiative and who would be the passive one. At the very least, he and Lu Bu would be facing Yang Rui's troops together.
"Speaking of countermeasures, Guo Jia thinks that we can beat Cao Cao at his own game and take the initiative to find Cao Cao and Lu Bu for a decisive battle!
Your Lordship's purpose of coming here is not to seize more territory but to exhaust Cao Cao and Lu Bu's strength. At this time, the two of them have provided an opportunity for Your Lordship. At that time, Your Lordship can still use the convenience of Sky City to ingeniously plan against the two of them.
Furthermore, the purpose of tracing the Dragon Soul and the others is also to exhaust Lu Bu's strength. It can be said that Your Lordship's plan coincides with Your Lordship's. Perhaps, it can also play a significant role...
"..."
Guo Jia continued and looked at Yang Rui to ask for Yang Rui's final opinion.
Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao also looked at Yang Rui. Especially the three madams, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao, they did not know Yang Rui's main intention. Moreover, no matter what Yang Rui's decision was, they would completely obey it.
"Mr. Guo Jia is right. We came to Xu Province to suppress Cao Cao and Lu Bu's expansion as much as possible. We don't have to do anything to Xu Province.
Previously, Yuan Shao's actions can be used as a lesson. Cao Cao and Lu Bu have not been unfavorable to our Qingzhou and Yanzhou once or twice. This time, we will deal with the two of them...
"..."
Yang Rui finally said in the face of their questioning gazes.
