At this moment, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's army is still in Wei County. As long as the army is assembled, they will go straight to Chenliu and Xuchang!
For Cao Cao, these two places are as important as his heart. As long as they are captured, Cao Cao will be defeated like a mountain!
The people in Chenliu didn't know that there were 300,000 troops lurking outside Chenliu, so they started to riot. This news also reached Yuan Shao's ears.
This undoubtedly made Yuan Shao more excited. In this way, Chen Liu became even more convinced that he had no troops!
Similarly, Xuchang will definitely not have too many defenders!
Yuan Shao seemed to have seen the balance of victory tilting towards them, and couldn't help laughing.
"Tomorrow, 300,000 troops will arrive!"
"The situation of the battle has been determined by the 100,000 vanguard army. So how does Cao Cao mobilize his troops? It is impossible for Chen Liu to send out an additional 300,000 troops out of thin air!"
"The capture of Cao Cao is just around the corner!"
At this time, Chen Liu was in the process.
"Everyone, the ruler is now in the Baima area, and the follow-up troops are expected to arrive tomorrow." Cao Cao asked, looking at the people below.
“How do we respond now?”
As the words fell, a man suddenly walked in from outside and stood at the end of the line.
Everyone looked surprised when they saw this person, but they didn't say anything.
Cao Cao was only slightly surprised, and then smiled.
Then he looked at Zhao Feng with a hint of admiration. The military advisor said that he could take Guan Yu into his own hands, but he didn't expect to be able to do it in a short time.
But he expected that Guan Yu, who had never come to participate in the discussion, would now take the initiative to come here.
Zhao Feng was not surprised. Guan Yu's character was like this. He would understand after Zhang Liao gave him some guidance.
Zhao Feng didn't have any taboos and said directly: "We should take the initiative to attack!"
Everyone else looked thoughtful. Seeing everyone's silence, Guo Jia stood up and said, "I agree with the military advisor. Now that Zhao Yunyuan is in Youzhou, Yuan Shao's vigilance has dropped greatly."
"At the same time, they must also think that Chen Liu doesn't have many troops at this moment, and it would be too strange if Chen Liu didn't respond."
At this point, everyone also understood what Guo Jia meant. Facing the crisis, Chen Liu should be able to panic a little more.
Zhao Feng nodded, fully agreeing with Guo Jia's statement.
"I think we can take the initiative to send 10,000 elite troops to Yanjin at this moment to prevent Yuan Shao's subsequent army from crossing the river. We will evacuate when Yuan Shao's army on the white horse reacts."
"This is what Chen Liu, who is now short of troops, should do!"
Everyone below nodded. The military advisor had analyzed the matter so clearly that they naturally understood it.
Everyone looked at Zhao Feng, waiting for his next words.
At this time, Zhao Feng showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Originally I wanted Dian Wei to go and raid Yanjin, but General Dian Wei is not good at riding, and now Zhao Yun is not here. General Cao Ren, are you willing to lead 10,000 fine cavalry?"
As soon as Zhao Feng finished speaking, Cao Ren immediately stepped forward, bowed and prepared to accept the order.
At this time, a tall figure behind him came forward and said: "Guan, I am willing to lead the troops as a vanguard!"
Everyone else looked surprised that Guan Yu took the initiative to invite Ying to fight.
Then Guan Yu looked at everyone with his red and phoenix eyes and said calmly: "The general will not need ten thousand horses, just give me five thousand!"
The other generals all showed strange expressions. Does Guan Yu not know how many enemies he will face?
Cao Cao also showed a hint of interest, thinking the same way, and said with a smile: "Yun Chang, do you know that Yuan Shao's army that wants to cross the river has a total of 300,000 people, and the army stationed in Baima has 100,000 people?
many!"
"Now do you still think that you only need five thousand fine knights?"
At the same time, other generals also advised:
"This matter is no small matter and extremely dangerous. Please be careful what you say!"
"This trip to Yanjin is no less than a trip to Longtan and Tiger's Den!"
After hearing Cao Cao's words and everyone's persuasion, Guan Yu's expression did not change at all. He just stroked his beard with one hand and said lightly: "Five thousand fine cavalry are enough!"
After everyone heard this, they were slightly shocked this time. It only took 5,000 elite cavalry to retreat in the face of an army of 300,000 people. This was no simple matter.
Everyone looked at Guan Yu, and even Cao Cao showed a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Yun Chang, please think carefully about this. This matter is not a joke."
Everyone is also waiting for Guan Yu's choice.
Zhao Feng said calmly: "I believe in General Guan's choice!"
How could he not know Guan Yu's ability? Moreover, under Zhang Liao's persuasion, Guan Yu would definitely go all out.
Everyone showed admiration.
"Then I wish General Guan a great victory!"
Guan Yu glanced at everyone and turned to leave. At this time, Cao Ren couldn't help it and complained.
"Military advisor, isn't Guan Yu's tone too arrogant? Even Zilong would not speak so lightly!"
Zhao Feng smiled and shook his head, "Since Yun Chang said so, he must have this strength."
After all, Guan Yu is also an old naughty king. Who can compare to him when it comes to pretending to be naughty?
The only generals who can compare with Guan Yu in this aspect are General Pan Feng, the mighty General Liu Sandao, and Lingling General Xing Daorong.
Zhao Feng naturally has great trust in Guan Yu, and it is not difficult to complete this mission with his strength.
Among Chen Liu, after Guan Yu organized the five thousand elite cavalry, he did not hesitate at all. He looked at the soldiers below calmly and said: "Now Yuan Shao's army will cross the river in two hours. We will be in a
After an hour, go and stop the 300,000-strong army!"
Then Guan Yu looked at these five thousand elite cavalry with a strange look in his eyes.
There was no sign of any cowardice among these soldiers, and none of them had bright eyes.
These seem to be real elites, probably hundreds of times stronger than the soldiers he led before!
"kill!"
The five thousand elite cavalry shouted loudly together, and the sound soaring into the sky incited everyone's eardrums. These are the elite soldiers, right?
Then Guan Yu withdrew his gaze and headed directly towards Yanjin with his army.
If Yuan Shao's 300,000-strong army wants to directly capture Xuchang, it must pass through two natural chasms!
Two rivers blocked their way forward. The first thing they had to cross was the Yellow River, followed by Jishui, and then they arrived at Guandu.
And this trip, although it was just a feint, was still extremely dangerous.
At this moment, on the other side of Yanjin, five thousand elite cavalry were ambushing around the river, waiting for the 300,000 troops to cross the river.
Guan Yu, as the only general in this operation, could clearly see on the river that countless ships were heading towards the river.
Three hundred thousand people crossed the river, which was also a shocking scene.
However, at this moment, the five thousand elite cavalry here did not show any timidity in their eyes. Facing the 300,000 troops who were about to cross the river, their eyes even showed eagerness to try.
Guan Yu's eyes were sharp, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was already in his hand.
