    Yuan Shao and Liu Bei said they would defend to the death without leaving any room.

    They can¡¯t retreat, and no one can do anything about them.  Lu Bu and Dian Wei tried to fight several times, but they were ignored. The most belligerent Zhang Fei did not show up because he was injured.

    The only gain was the battle between the scouts.

    On this day, Liu Ke received the news that Cao Cao was attacking Runan, so he came to Guo Jia and others to discuss.

    "The military situation is urgent. We can't waste any more time. Tell us what you can do." Liu Ke said calmly.

    This battle is different from the past. Even if the Yangzhou army deceives the city gate or climbs the city wall, it will have little effect.

    In the city, the cavalry cannot exert its maximum combat effectiveness and will be eaten to death by Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.

    There are nearly 300,000 troops in the city. Even if they pile up heads, they can still win.

    "Our army camp will advance ten miles to lure the snake out of its hole." Liu Ye said.

    Guo Jia didn¡¯t say anything, because he knew that Liu Ke already had a plan. He asked to see if they had anything better.

    It is true that even if the camp advances and Yuan Shao and Liu Bei send troops to attack the camp, Yangzhou can only achieve a partial victory.

    Killing 10,000 or 20,000 people now will have little impact on the war situation.

    On the contrary, once the attack on the camp is successful, the Yangzhou army will be beyond redemption.

    Sure enough, Liu saw that no one spoke, so he directly issued the order without asking any more questions.

    "During this period, Fengxian, Elai, and Zhongkang took turns leading the scouts to fight, preventing them from leaving Xiapi City."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    In the past two days, Xiapi complained incessantly, and all the scouts who spied on the Yangzhou camp were killed.  Even ordinary rangers would be pursued relentlessly once they encountered the Yangzhou cavalry.

    boom!

    Yuan Shao was furious and said: "Our army is holding fast, and the Marquis of Dongyang does not dare to attack, but he resorted to such despicable means!"

    Jizhou is close to Youzhou, and Youzhou is the border.  Logically speaking, it is not difficult for Yuan Shao to get horses, but he has always been at odds with Gongsun Zan, so being able to gather 10,000 cavalry is already the limit.

    It was these 10,000 cavalrymen who lost 1,000 people in just two days.

    Not to mention the thousand people, Yuan Shao felt sorry for the thousand horses, so he was so angry.

    The same goes for Liu Bei. Compared to Yuan Shao, his losses were much less. He was secretly happy and agreed: "Yes, we'd better not leave the city during this period."

    Yuan Shao sighed and could only agree with Liu Bei's view.

    In the next two days, Liu Ke gave up the crackdown.  Yuan Shao seized the opportunity and secretly sent out scouts.

    Next, it was Taishi Ci, Zhang He, and Hua Xiong's turn to take turns to attack.  Yuan Shaojun's scouts were disgraced again, and at this point, he simply gave up.

    The next day, Lu Bu went to challenge Wen Chou and angered Wen Chou.

    "Boy, do you dare to leave the city? Grandpa is waiting for you outside!"

    Wen Chou was furious, but Yan Liang held his shoulders firmly.

    "My lord has an order not to go into battle without permission. Have you forgotten what happened to Zhang Yide?"

    They continued to ignore the Yangzhou Army's challenge.

    Lu Bu returned to the camp and said angrily: "How can these rats be so tolerant!" After a while, he tentatively said, "My lord, Liu Bei claims to have a close relationship with Guan Yu, can we take advantage of it"

    He has been holding this idea in his mind for a long time.

    "I have a plan, you just execute the order." Liu Kedao.

    Lu Bu could only sigh, the Lord is benevolent and righteous, and as subordinates, their faces are also bright.

    It¡¯s just that this battle cannot be won by benevolence and righteousness, it also depends on the means.

    Seeing that Lu Bu was dissatisfied, Dian Wei said, "Brother, you still don't believe what I said? Just watch, the allies won't be able to survive for long!"

    Lu Bu thought about it, it was true, Liu Ke had never deceived them, so he waited patiently.

    In the past few days, Liu Ke sent people to encircle and suppress the scouts, while also sending people to fight.

    No one went to fight in Xiapi, so Liu Ke stopped fighting and concentrated on encircling and suppressing the scouts.

    Neither Yuan Shao nor Liu Bei were willing to satisfy Liu Ke's venting of anger, so they stopped sending any scouts.

    Seeing that the time was right, Liu Ke summoned the generals and said: "Tomorrow I will lead the cavalry troops to leave. The infantry troops will retreat to Guangling County and set up camp again seven days after we leave."

    Gao Shun looked confused,?I finally led the infantry here, but it turned out that I was playing soy sauce. Now I haven't got a chance to fight, so I have to retreat.

    I feel so tired.

    Next, Liu Ke assigned another task. Taishi Ci, Zhang He, and Hua Xiong continued to encircle and suppress the scouts, or directly stared at the city gate to kill.

    And Lu Bu, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei followed Liu Ke and left for Runan.

    Sure enough, the lord¡¯s target is Runan!

    Guo Jia seemed to have guessed it a long time ago and did not feel any surprise.

    Although the plan is to move north first and then south, the situation cannot be opened in Xuzhou, so there is no need to waste any time.

    On the contrary, Cao Cao is the siege party in Runan, making it easier to fight.

    The reason why Liu Ke made this decision was greatly influenced by Yuan Shu.  He did not respond to Yuan Shu's request because Yuan Shu was capricious and untrustworthy.

    Now, Yuan Shu had a bloody fight with Cao Cao in Runan, and even killed Cao Cao's envoy. Liu Ke believed that Yuan Shu would not betray.

    This is Yangzhou¡¯s opportunity.

    ¡°Moreover, this is also a strategic deception.  Everyone knows that Liu Ke is in Xuzhou. At this moment, he suddenly attacks Runan, and there is a high chance that he can inflict heavy damage to Cao Cao's army.

    Just do it!

    Where Liu Ke camped, there were no villages or people nearby.  There are no more people in the distance.

    The people have long had their own way of dealing with the war and have hid in the mountains.

    So Liu Ke was able to do it without being noticed.

    However, he did not choose to leave at night.  Because Yangzhou scouts patrol at night, they sometimes miss one or two scout troops.

    On this day, Liu Ke sent out more scouts, and then he set off from the camp in a big way.

    More than 60,000 Yangzhou cavalry marched in order and gradually moved away.

    They were not moving very fast, and Liu Ke was worried that the sound of running horses' hooves would be carried too far.

    What is certain is that there are no enemy scouts nearby.

    Liu Ke did not take away Zhang He's heavy cavalry because they were not suitable for long-distance attacks, and left some cavalry for Taishi Ci and others to encircle and suppress the Allied scouts, so he only had more than 60,000 cavalry left on hand.

    "The terrible thing is that these 60,000 cavalry are all one person and two horses, which is extremely luxurious.

    Originally, Liu Ke could form more cavalry troops, but in the past two years, he has only focused on developing the economy.

    " Moreover, the maintenance of the cavalry unit is also very high, which also made Liu Ke give up the idea.

    The battle in the Central Plains was more about attacking and defending cities, and the role of cavalry was not highlighted.

    But Liu Ke planned to teach the princes a lesson that cavalry is always the most terrifying weapon of war.

    "All troops, advance at full speed!" Liu Ke said loudly.

    Sixty thousand cavalry suddenly increased their horse speed and galloped across the field, causing dust to fly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
