Chapter 3 The Allied Forces Attack Yundu City

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle in the rear, was laughing in his heart, saying that his first tentative attack had not been given any advantage. What else can your Sun and Liu coalition forces be?

After all, it was only the first time, and it was a tentative attack, so the Sun-Liu coalition was actually not much different from the Yanzhou army.

Under the defense of Gao Pei and Deng Xian, even Dong Xi and Zhou Cang were really good. Unfortunately, there was no big difference between them and Yanzhou Army and they still didn't get any advantage. The first siege ended like this.

Hearing the sound of the coalition forces of his own, Dong Xi and Zhou Cang retreated with their soldiers. Even though they looked down on Yu Jin before and thought that they had not gained any advantage, they now know that not only Yu Jin could not do it, but even the two of them were the same as others.

Helplessly, he led his troops to retreat and returned to his own side. Finally, Sun Ce and Liu Bei waved their hands and retreated with their own soldiers. Of course, the same was true for Cao Cao. Otherwise, if his Yanzhou army did not retreat, how could the Sun and Liu coalition forces retreat? The retreat was blocked, right?

-----------------------------------------------------

Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei led their troops back to their camp, not long after, the three of them met in the central army's tent.

Of course, this central army tent was not from Cao Cao to the central army tent, and naturally it was not from Sun Ce, and it was even more impossible for Liu Bei. Instead, it was a temporary tent built between the Yanzhou Army Camp and the Sun-Liu Alliance Camp, just to allow the three to meet, and there is only one purpose.

And this was naturally thought of by Cao Cao, and in the end, Sun Ce and Liu Bei agreed. They knew Cao Cao's character and his personality. They were so suspicious, so they could only listen to his arrangements and dispel his doubts. At least these were really nothing for Sun Ce and Liu Bei, but if they could calm Cao Cao's heart, they would be better than anything else, right?

After the three of them met in the big tent, they exchanged greetings with each other, but none of them came alone, and they were basically all with literature and martial arts.

-----------------------------------------------------

In addition to Sun Ce only bringing Zhou Yu, Cao Cao brought Xu Chu and Xu You, while Liu Bei brought Wen Chou and Xu Shu. As for why Sun Ce brought Zhou Yu over, it was not because he felt that bringing military generals was useless. In fact, according to his ideas, he wanted to bring Zhang Liao with him. However, after thinking about it carefully, he dispelled his idea, because he felt that Zhang Liao seemed to be more resistant to what he asked him to do, so let it go for the time being.

In this way, Sun Ce came alone. Besides, he was indeed "high-skilled and brave." At least Sun Ce thought that his martial arts skills were pretty good, so what else could he be afraid of?

After a few greetings, the three of them sat down, and then they heard Cao Cao say, "I wonder if you two think, how are you attacking today?"

When Sun Ce and Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, they rolled their eyes in their hearts. They thought, "Didn't you, Cao Mengde, see, and ask clearly. Are you trying to make a fool of yourself, or do you have any other plans?"

-----------------------------------------------------

It’s good to say that you can’t get any advantage. But you are like this, but is your Yanzhou army different?

But Sun Ce and Liu Bei could not say this. At this time, Sun Ce said: "Cao Sikong, today's battle is just a tentative attack, but our army did not gain any advantage!"

Sun Ce is telling the truth. Anyway, he cannot tell lies about these things that are obvious to all, because it is meaningless. Everyone has seen it and knows what is going on. You still tell lies. That is really meaningless and meaningless.

Cao Cao smiled, "What does Xuande mean?"

Liu Bei cursed in his heart, but he still said, "Same, Bei means the same as General Sun!"

Cao Cao sighed when he heard this, "I think Xuande called Cao Brother Meng De, but now he is even more alienated. Why is this so?"

-----------------------------------------------------

When Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, he said to himself, in order to confuse you, I naturally wanted to handle a good relationship with you, Cao Mengde. But in the end, it was for hostility. Although it is true that we are forming an alliance now, the hatred between you and me is quite large, so let's forget about the title. I am the same title as Sun Bofu to give you, that's fine, otherwise what else can it be.

As for Sun Ce, he knew some of the things about Yanzhou back then, so he knew more or less a little about Liu Bei's thoughts, but these had nothing to do with him. He just sat aside and watched the two of them, and at other times, he was thinking about the current war.

As for Cao Cao, he just sighed and had no other meaning. At least he knew in his heart that Liu Bei would never change this title. If the two of them were not in an alliance now, it would probably be impossible for him to call him Cao thief. Instead, it is very likely. He is more or less aware of what kind of person Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are, so...

-----------------------------------------------------

Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce and Liu Bei at this time, and he laughed and said, "If you say too much, let's talk too much, let's say that the main thing is important!"

Then, Cao Cao said his idea. In fact, his idea was very simple, just to see if he could dig a tunnel, then go through it and attack Yundu City at night. As for this proposal, Sun Ce and Liu Bei still accepted it. Although they didn't think this would be successful, how to say it, if you don't try it, there would definitely be no hope. And if you try it, maybe it might not be possible.

Finally, Sun Ce said: "Since Cao Sikong thinks it is feasible, then Ce has no objection. I think it's like this like Duke Xuande!"

Liu Bei thought to myself, Sun Ce decided for me, can you say something wrong? So he smiled, and then said to Cao Cao: "General Sun's words are good. The same is true for Bei. I agree with what Cao Sikong said. It's better to dig a tunnel and try it out, it's okay!"

-----------------------------------------------------

However, although Cao Cao and the others thought well, the final result was that they were discovered by Gao Pei and Deng Xian in Yundu City after just two days of digging. As a result, Cao Cao's plan, Sun Ce and Liu Bei's plan were ruined. The key is that Gao Pei and Deng Xian are third-rate generals, but despite this, it does not mean that they have no experience, so they can still detect such a simple thing, so Cao Cao and others' plan died.

Of course. This was actually as expected by him. After all, if it was so easy to succeed, the Liangzhou Army would be getting more and more complete, and it would not be the strongest opponent on its side.

One day later, this time it was not the Yanzhou army that attacked first, but the Sun and Liu coalition. After all, this matter is not fixed, but takes turns. Yesterday it was Cao Cao's Yanzhou army that attacked first. Then today it was the Sun and Liu coalition. This is a bit fairer. Anyway, at least Cao Cao and the other three people saw it, it was indeed the case.

-----------------------------------------------------

Gao Pei and Deng Xian on the top of Yundu City saw Dong Xi and Zhou Cang, who led troops to attack the city yesterday, came again. Gao Pei shouted to the two under the city: "The defeated general, how dare you come here? Hahaha!"

After shouting, the Liangzhou army on the top of the city also burst into laughter.

Although Dong Xi and Zhou Cang were so angry about this, they still suppressed their anger. At this time, Dong Xi shouted: "Yesterday was just a tentative attack. Today I will let you see the power of our army!"

Zhou Cang also shouted: "Yes, I'm afraid you won't do it?"

Deng Xian on the top of the city laughed, "Okay, wait for you! I'm afraid you will still run away in shame today, hahahaha!"

Dong Xi and Zhou Cang snorted coldly at the same time, "Hmph!"

Dong Xi murmured to himself: "Ignorance, how can our army be strong enough for you third-rate generals?"

Zhou Cang was muttering something, but it was definitely not a good thing anyway.

-----------------------------------------------------

The Sun and Liu coalition attacked Yundu City again, but this time was different from the one yesterday. After all, yesterday was just a test, and they really didn't show all their abilities. To put it bluntly, is it a test attack to test the attack? It's just to see how the opponent is. As long as the goal is achieved, you can retreat directly.

So in yesterday's battle, whether it was Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army or Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun and Liu Bei's Sun and Liu's coalition, it was like this, so yesterday could not be compared with today. Dong Xi and the others understood this, and Gao Pei and Deng Xian also understood it.

Deng Xian shouted at the top of the city: "Brothers, it depends on you today. Keep the city and don't embarrass our army!"

"kill!"

Even when facing the Yanzhou Army and the Sun and Liu coalition nearly 200,000 troops, the Liangzhou Army soldiers at the top of the city still did not retreat. If you say they were not afraid at all, that was fake, but despite this, there were no timids, this was not wrong. So it has to be said that the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army were indeed well-trained and quite loyal.

-----------------------------------------------------

Gao Pei and Deng Xian were indeed quite relieved at this time. In their opinion, if there were 30,000 or 50,000 soldiers on the side to defend the city, then why should they be afraid of the Yanzhou Army and the Sun and Liu coalition forces? At least they felt that if that was the case, they would be able to defend Yundu City. But now there are only a few thousand people, but they really couldn't defend it. So after listening to his lord's words, it was really wrong. Just run away quickly. This is the best way to leave.

Indeed, the two of them were already thinking about the problem of retreat, so they couldn't blame them for this. After all, the enemy was fierce, and they didn't think that the thousands of troops on their side could resist it. And let alone the two of them, it probably would be their lord on the top of the city. That wouldn't work.

Dong Xi and Zhou Cangxin said, you, Gao Pei and Deng Xian, are just trying to show off your verbal skills. If you fight hard with real swords and guns, you may not be able to defend Yundu City.

-----------------------------------------------------

So the two of them were not willing to be outdone and shouted directly to their soldiers, encouraging their soldiers to attack Yundu City with all their strength.

The soldiers of the Sun and Liu coalition forces at Yundi had indeed increased their morale when they heard the call from their chief general. However, the Liangzhou army on the other side was not vegetarian, so the war between the two sides was in a stalemate.

Sun Ce, who was watching the battle behind, saw that he said to Liu Bei at this time: "Duke Xuande, although our army's combat power is stronger today than yesterday, this Liangzhou army is not easy to deal with!"

Even if Sun Ce was indeed very confident about seizing Yundu, he was right, but now he looked at his own performance and the enemy's combat power, and he was also worried. At least he could not take Yundu City today. This was judged by his years of experience, and Sun Ce really believed in his judgment.

When Liu Bei heard this, he said, "That's true. But as long as our army can continue to improve, it will only take a few days to capture Yundu City!"

-----------------------------------------------------

Sun Ce nodded when he heard this. In fact, this is indeed the case. Liu Bei was so confident, let alone himself. No matter how he said he believed in his own Jiangdong Army soldiers, even if the combat power of his own soldiers was indeed not as good as that of the Liangzhou Army. But there was nothing he could do about this, right?

After watching for a while, Liu Bei said to Sun Ce: "General Sun, the war today should be almost done. It's time for Cao Mengde to join the Yanzhou Army!"

Liu Bei definitely did it on purpose. After all, he would definitely not be willing to let the Sun and Liu coalition forces work. So in his mind, since his side wants to lose, why would Cao Mengde not lose? Or they should have suffered heavy casualties, that would be even better. So he was playing at this time to remind Sun Ce that it means that it would be good for everyone to let the Yanzhou army go to the ground as soon as possible.

Sun Ce understood what Liu Bei meant, and he definitely couldn't do it so obviously. After all, this matter must be almost the same no matter how you say it. Otherwise, not long after your attack, you immediately called the gold and withdraw your troops and let Cao Cao go to Yanzhou army. What can Cao Cao do? So he also knew that it should be almost done at this time, just right.

-----------------------------------------------------

So at this moment he smiled at Liu Bei and said, "Duke Xuande is good, it's time to withdraw his troops!"

Then he said to the soldiers: "Ming Jin!"

"promise!"

"Dingding Dingding Ding...Dingding Ding Ding..."

The Sun-Liu coalition army was full of gold. After hearing the sound of gold, Cao Cao at the end smiled at Xun You next to him and said, "Hehe, it seems that Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande can't wait, and want our army to join!"

Xun Youze said: "Lord, Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande are pretty good, at least they are reasonable in terms of being big. Even if they do have the intention, it's still OK!"

Cao Cao glared, "Hmph! Isn't my Yanzhou army so easy to bully? If Sun Ce and Liu Bei dare to play tricks, I, Cao Mengde, would have let them 'invested and take care of it'!"

-----------------------------------------------------

At this time, Cao Cao was not Cao Cao who was depressed by his retreat before. For him, it was true that his own troops were still small, but if the war really started, would he be afraid that there were many Sun and Liu coalition forces?

At least in Cao Cao's opinion, he is not afraid of too many of them. There must be some concerns. After all, there are more than 100,000 people in the Sun and Liu coalition, three or four times that of their own. You must have to consider this, right?

When Xun You heard this, he smiled and said nothing. In fact, he knew in his heart that whether it was his lord, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, they would never fight easily at this time. Originally, if this was the case, Jingzhou would probably run to the hands of Ma Chao Liangzhou Army, which was a great deal.
