Chapter 3102 Yu Jin Sima Yi's mission
"Xudu is the most important city of the Han army. As long as Xudu is captured from the hands of the Han army, the Han army will inevitably be in chaos. Why worry about not being able to pacify the remaining cities of the Han Dynasty? However, after the defeat, Prime Minister Cao will definitely
Returning to Xudu, at this time Xudu has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus the help of the Han troops who fled back to Xudu and the help of the aristocratic families in the city, Prime Minister Cao can still do it by gathering a force of 30,000 soldiers and horses."
Lu Bu nodded secretly. Yu Jin could see the importance of Xu Du at this time, and made some analysis of Xu Du's situation, which was enough to see Yu Jin's vision.
"I am bound to win Xudu, but other cities cannot be left to Cao Cao." Lu Bu said: "General Yu was the commander-in-chief of the Xuzhou Army before him. If you are allowed to go, I don't know what the chance of winning is to help the army break through."
Pengcheng?”
"Seventy percent." Yu Jin replied. He has absolute prestige among the Xuzhou army. When the news of Cao Jun's defeat spread back to the city, the hearts of the army in the city will inevitably be shaken. With his prestige in the army, he can announce at this time
The possibility of success in joining the Jin army is very high.
The most important thing is that many generals in the Xuzhou Army were promoted by Yu Jin, and these generals in the Enqing Army must admit it.
"Okay, if General Yu is so confident, it's easy to conquer Pengcheng." Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this. If Pengcheng could be conquered, Xuzhou's army would be able to enter Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which would be of great significance to the entire battlefield.
"I order you to lead a thousand flying cavalry to Pengcheng. If you can capture Pengcheng, I will give you a heavy reward." Lu Bu said.
"Your Majesty, I don't need the help of soldiers and horses. I only need a fast horse. After entering Pengcheng, I will have a way to make the army in the city join me." Yu Jin said.
Lu Bu smiled and said: "It is a good thing that General Yu has such confidence."
It is actually a good choice to let Yu Jin go to Pengcheng alone. Although Yu Jin has surrendered now, no one is sure whether Yu Jin is sincere. If after entering Pengcheng, he suddenly declares that he will not betray Cao Cao, the thousands of flying cavalry who follow him will
The only person who will definitely suffer hardship is if Yu Jin returns alone. Even if Yu Jin surrenders in a false way, he will only lose one prisoner.
Comparing the two, Lu Bu can still distinguish clearly, but Lu Bu believes that Yu Jin's choice to surrender at this time will definitely not be hypocritical. Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army have completely lost in this battle.
Even if Yu Jin leads an army to continue the fight after returning to Xuzhou, how useful can it be? After joining the Jin army, it means that Yu Jin has a new beginning. As long as he can make greater achievements in Jin,
Why worry about not getting a higher status? It is better than not having a bright future in Cao's army.
Cao Cao was kind to Jin, but when Yu Jin led his troops to block Jin's pursuing troops, this kind of kindness had already been repaid.
"I am willing to follow General Yu back to Pengcheng." Sima Yi said with cupped hands.
Lu Bu nodded and agreed. Sima Yi was a shrewd man, and having him by Yu Jin's side would play a big role.
"Without further delay, before the news of Cao's army's defeat has spread back, you two will set off as soon as you are ready and rush to Pengcheng as quickly as possible," Lu Bu said.
"Here." Yu Jin and Sima Yi said in unison.
After walking out of the camp, Yu Jin felt much more relaxed. Choosing to join the Jin State was a huge challenge for him. If he could not make a greater contribution in the Jin army, he would only become a mediocre general.
This situation is no less than what Ban wants to see.
Therefore, when it comes to helping Lu Bu seize Xuzhou, Yu Jin needs to show enough means so that Lu Bu can realize his abilities. After gaining the monarch's recognition, he can be more reused in the army. Naturally, it is not a big problem.
.
Sima Yi also did not expect that Yu Jin would actually promise such a thing in front of Lu Bu. However, after thinking for a while, Sima Yi understood Yu Jin's intention. Yu Jin was one of the important generals under Cao Cao in the past. He had led troops in battles for many years. If he relied on
If the power of the flying cavalry were to capture Pengcheng, they would not be able to demonstrate sufficient capabilities.
From this incident, we can see Yu Jin's ability. How could other generals dare to have such confidence to join the Jin army when things like this were placed on them? Pengcheng was the equivalent of a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to Jin, but it was a fortress.
Breaking into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den and getting what you want from the dragon's pond and the tiger's den is just such a confidence that ordinary generals cannot match it.
Sima Yi chose to follow Yu Jin, which was actually a bit risky. However, with him on the side to make suggestions, the operation to capture Pengcheng would be much smoother. If Pengcheng was captured and the army in the city could be used by Lu Bu, the entire Xuzhou battlefield would be
Just survive, the army stationed in Xiapi can be mobilized to put pressure on Cao Cao.
After the two returned to the camp to discuss things, they set off for Pengcheng that night.
The two of them did not ride war horses, but chose two carriages. After all, it would be unbearable for anyone to go without rest for a long time. If they went by carriage, they could rest without affecting their journey.
Currently, there are many cement roads in Cao Cao's territory. Pengcheng, as the state capital of Xuzhou, naturally has cement roads directly leading to Pengcheng. The carriages galloped on the cement roads at a very fast speed.
After Cao Cao led his army to leave the battlefield, he did not even dare to stay in the camp. After carrying the food and grass in the camp, he came to Xudu overnight. One can imagine the fatigue of the army lieutenants and soldiers on the way. They had gone through a long period of
During the battle, what is most needed at this time is rest.
But now, in order to survive, they have to hurry. This is a tragedy for the soldiers of Cao Jun. Thinking back to what it was like when Cao Jun first dispatched, the flags covered the sky and the sun, and the swords and guns were like forests.
After failure, everything comes to naught, and even life is threatened.
At this time, the most obvious thing about Cao Jun's army was that the morale was low. Such a battle made Cao Jun's soldiers feel no hope of victory. When the soldiers of the army went to the battlefield, they naturally wanted to win from the battle. If they could not win, why would they?
Kill the enemy heroically while fighting against the enemy.
But now Cao Jun was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog, as if they would have lost their lives if they left the battlefield too late. This was indeed the case, especially when the Jin army initially ordered the cavalry to pursue it, Cao Jun paid a heavy price.
