LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 197 Why ban Cao Ren and his ilk? It’s just a bid to sell out!
"Three thousand?"
Hearing Guan Yu's words, even Zhang Fei looked in disbelief and said: "Second brother, even if we include the original garrison stationed in Xiaopei, Xiaopei only has less than 10,000 people. How can we resist Cao Cao?"
"General Guan underestimated the enemy too much. With only 3,000 troops left, it is really difficult to fight against Cao Cao."
Zhao Yun also looked shocked and said, "Cao Cao has many elite soldiers and generals, so we should not underestimate them."
"Why does Cao Cao need so many troops?"
Guan Yu shook his head, caressed his long beard, and said: "As for Yu Jin, Le Jin, Cao Ren and others under Cao Cao, from my point of view, they are nothing more than traitors, so why should I be afraid?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire military tent fell silent.
"Second brother, are you really sure?"
Gu Rubing cast his eyes at Guan Yu, stared at Guan Yu closely, and asked.
"If brother doesn't believe it, I can issue a military order."
Guan Yu cupped his hands and said, "If we can't defend Xiaopei and one of Cao's soldiers steps into the city of Xiaopei, I will be willing to deal with him militaryally!"
Hearing this, Gu Rubing was stunned for a moment, and then he felt overjoyed.
Stable!
As we all know, military orders only take effect on Ma Su. If Guan Yu is willing to issue a military order, he will be absolutely sure!
Speaking of which, Guan Yu is now developing faster than Guan Yu at the same time in history. Now Guan Yu, with the characteristic of "defining a country with force", can be said to be a hexagonal warrior capable of standing alone!
"good!"
Gu Rubing no longer hesitated, nodded and said: "In that case, second brother, I will leave three thousand elite soldiers. You continue to stay in Xuzhou. I will come back immediately after Qingzhou is pacified."
"Brother, don't worry."
Guan Yu immediately nodded, cupped his hands and said,
At this time, after seeing this scene, the netizens in the live broadcast room were silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but explode again!
"Here it comes! It's finally here, King Bi, it's still a familiar recipe!"
"You still know how to brag about how awesome you are!"
"From what I can see, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Cao Ren and the like are just selling out! It's just a simple sentence, but... you're so handsome!"
"My second master is so domineering that he is invincible in the world!"
"You're just pretending, damn it, I'm dreaming back to when I was fighting the Yellow Turbans!"
"Cao Ren and Yu Jin are not those Yellow Turban generals. When they fought against the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans before, they were all generals who could kill the Yellow Turban generals!"
"Why is he so good at showing off? He really knows the timing of showing off!"
"Although I know he is showing off, I still feel... awesome!"
"The contemporary king of cunts is having fun with you here?"
"But don't forget, Cao Cao also has Dian Wei. Dian Wei didn't take action before and only served as Cao Cao's bodyguard. Dian Wei's combat power is ridiculous!"
"Dian Wei? A traitor who sells his head by inserting bids!"
"I admit that your Excellency, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword is very strong, but if, I mean if, if I replace Yu Jin with Lu Bu, how will you respond?"
The barrage in the live broadcast room continued to surge, and all netizens couldn't help but get excited when they heard the four words "insert bid and sell first".
Soon, after leaving Guan Yu with 3,000 elite troops to continue to defend the city, Gu Rubing immediately led nearly 9,000 troops, left Xiaopei overnight, and rushed back to Qingzhou.
Gu Rubing's movements were immediately captured by Cao Cao's spies, who hurried back to the camp and reported it to Cao Cao.
"My lord, as expected, Kong Rong rebelled, Liu Bei has led his army to leave Xiaopei, and now only Guan Yu and a few sergeants are stationed in Xiaopei!"
The spy knelt down on one knee, with excitement on his face, and said with his hands raised.
"Liu Bei is really gone?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Ren suddenly became energetic, couldn't hide the joy on his face, and asked.
"Absolutely true!"
The spy nodded heavily, raised his hands and said.
"Okay, great!"
Cao Ren turned to look at Cao Cao, and immediately raised his hands and said: "My lord, now is the time to capture Xiaopei. As long as we can capture Xiaopei and attack Tao Qian from both sides, Tao Qian will be unable to hold off alone. Xuzhou can be easily captured!"
Cao Cao was also a little excited, nodded and said: "Zixiao, starting tomorrow, you will lead the army to attack Xiaopei with all strength, vowing to capture Xiaopei!"
During this period of time, he attacked repeatedly, but kept failing, and the army had insufficient food and grass, so he struggled to retreat and fell into a stalemate.
If there is no better chance, he will have no choice but to retreat.
But fortunately, things have finally turned around. Yuan Shao successfully instigated Kong Rong's rebellion. Liu Bei had to lead his troops back to Qingzhou to support him, and the only one left in Xuzhou was Guan Yu!
If we don’t fight now, when will we wait?
"My lord, don't worry!"
Cao Ren cupped his hands and said, "The general will live up to my lord's high expectations. Within seven days, the general will capture Xiaopei!"
"good!"
Cao Cao's face was full of smugness and ambition. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Dian Wei behind him and said, "Dian Wei, you will join the army tomorrow and attack Xiaopei together!"
"yes!"
Dian Wei didn't hesitate at all and nodded immediately.
"Yun Chang is a fierce general in the world. In the past, he killed Hua Xiong with a warm wine. He has the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand men. Among thousands of troops and horses, he took the enemy general's head like a bag. You must not underestimate the enemy."
Cao Cao took a deep breath and gave instructions: "However, even if we successfully attack Xiaopei, we can only capture Guan Yu alive. We are not allowed to kill him. I want to see him alive!"
Regarding Guan Yu, Cao Cao has been greedy since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Now that there is such a good opportunity to capture Guan Yu alive, Cao Cao naturally wants to try to capture Guan Yu alive and then use it for himself.
All the generals in the camp looked at each other, then nodded, cupped their hands and said, "Yes!"
Seeing this scene, netizens in the live broadcast room suddenly felt a little funny.
"Cao Cao is full of confidence!"
"How can you lose with Flying Dragon Knight? You, Xiaopei, have less than 10,000 people. How can you stop my army of tens of thousands? I have the advantage!"
"Comparing the two sides, I want to laugh for no reason. The second master said that Cao Cao's side is all about betraying the enemy. Cao Cao's side has already ordered Guan Yu to be captured alive. Which side should I believe?"
"I don't know, but I kind of want to laugh. I feel so confident on both sides."
"But I have one thing to say. I feel that Second Master's bragging is a little too outrageous. If Cao Cao attacks Xiaopei with all his strength, Second Master can really defend it with less than 10,000 people?"
Netizens in the live broadcast room were talking a lot for a while, and they couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming battle.
The flags on both sides have been set up, and everyone can predict that there will be another bloody storm!
…………
the other side.
Xuzhou and Qingzhou are close to each other, and the distance between them is not far.
Gu Rubing led his troops day and night and traveled at full speed. Finally, four days later, they successfully arrived in Qi via Langya.
However, to Gu Rubing's surprise, when he led his troops to Qi, Kong Rong had already led his troops back to Beihai.
"Lord."
Xu Rong cupped his hands and said: "Kong Rong has retreated to Beihai and is willing to surrender. Please make a decision, my lord."
"What's going on? How is the situation over there with Yuan Shao?"
Gu Rubing breathed a sigh of relief, frowned slightly, and asked.
He originally thought that Yuan Shao and Kong Rong were jointly attacking and the situation was in danger, so he led his troops back to Qingzhou. But as soon as he came back, what happened when Kong Rong surrendered directly?
"Return to my lord."
Xu Rong immediately raised his hand and replied: "Yuan Shao should have negotiated with Kong Rong. Kong Rong rebelled internally, and then Yuan Shao attacked Qingzhou. The two should cooperate internally and externally. It is for this reason that the last general asked the lord for help."
"But after Yuan Shao captured Bohai, he did not attack Qingzhou as promised. Instead, he went north to continue fighting with Gongsun Zan, and Kong Rong became an abandoned son."
"After the general defeated Kong Rong, he originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate Kong Rong in one go. However, he was worried about changes in Yuan Shao's side and did not dare to act rashly, so he only sent heavy troops to garrison in the plain."
Hearing Xu Rong's words, Gu Rubing was slightly startled and understood instantly.
Yuan Shao used Kong Rong as a spearman, used Kong Rong to contain Xu Rong, and then took advantage of the situation to capture Bohai. However, after capturing Bohai, Yuan Shao actually gave up Kong Rong and went north to fight Gongsun Zan!
Although Qingzhou was previously ruined due to wars and needed people to recuperate, dig water conservancy projects, and repair city walls, Gu Rubing did not recruit troops on a large scale, and the total force was only maintained at about 50,000.
However, even if Kong Rong rebels, including the 15,000 troops taken away by Gu Rubing, Qingzhou still has nearly 20,000 troops left behind!
Although there are only 20,000 people, this army of 20,000 people is an elite division with unique characteristics. If recruits are recruited, the army of 20,000 people can instantly increase its combat strength to 40,000 people!
And not to mention that there are so many Yellow Turban surrender soldiers going to the fields. It only takes seven days for these Yellow Turban surrender soldiers to produce extremely impressive combat power!
Kong Rong, who had been let go by Yuan Shao, faced the 40,000 troops left behind in Qingzhou and had no other choice but to surrender.
The reason why Gu Rubing rushed back was because he thought Yuan Shao and Kong Rong had united. Otherwise, he would not have had to rush back at all. Xu Rong alone would be enough to suppress Kong Rong.
After quarreling for a long time, Yuan Shao actually let go of Kong Rong's dove.
Gu Rubing could hardly imagine Kong Rong's mental state at this time. He was worried that Yuan Shao would be fed raw food.
However, Gu Rubing also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yuan Shao didn't come over, Qingzhou's problem wouldn't be big and Kong Rong wouldn't cause any trouble.
Of course, even if Yuan Shao really comes and joins forces with Kong Rong, Gu Rubing is not afraid now.
Gu Rubing took a deep breath and said: "I saved Kong Rong in danger before, but Kong Rong didn't want to repay his kindness. Now he has raised an army to rebel against me. Such a disloyal and unjust person, even if he is willing to surrender, he cannot by!"
"What my lord said makes sense."
Xu Rong nodded and asked, "What does the lord mean?"
"Raise troops to attack Beihai and capture Beihai as quickly as possible!"
There was a hint of coldness in Gu Rubing's eyes, and he spoke with murderous intent.
"yes!"
Xu Rong was not surprised by Gu Rubing's decision and immediately accepted the order.
