Xu Capital!
Guan Yu's army had expanded to nearly 70,000 men.
A large portion of them were from the Revolutionary Army.
Guan Yu's core combat strength was still only 30,000 people.
A large portion of these rebel armies could not stand the oppression of the Cao Wei Regime.
Years of war, coupled with the tyranny of taxes.
The moment Guan Yu's reputation spread across China, they started to rebel.
First, there was a large-scale riot in Wan City. Then, it was already infinitely close to Xuchang.
The war on the eastern front began.
Guan Yu didn't stop at the western front either.
After some rest, Guan Yu immediately began the northern expedition.
Everywhere he went, he was simply invincible.
On the eastern front, Liu Bei attacked Yongzhou and Liangzhou.
In the middle, Guan Yu attacked Wan City and headed straight for Xudu.
On the western front, Sun Quan attacked Xuzhou.
They had achieved rather good results on all three fronts.
The one with the most obvious effect was naturally Liu Bei. Yongzhou and Liangzhou had been taken down. Chang 'an was in sight, Guanzhong was in sight, and the story of the Three Qin Dynasties was once again played out.
As for Sun Quan, he had given Lu Xun a great deal of trust.
He would stabilize the rear, suppress the Dongwu nobles, and let Lu Xun attack Xuzhou.
And now, Sun Quan understood a principle.
He was really not suitable to lead troops to war. He could play with political balance, but leading troops to war was really a mess.
He might as well let Lu Xun lead the army.
He had given him great support from the back. Although the efficiency of this broken machine of Dongwu wasn't that good, Sun Quan still managed to control it.
Sun Quan had already taken down more than half of Xu Prefecture.
Even if they couldn't take Jingzhou, they could at least take Xuzhou.
Sun Quan received good news every day. However, the thing that made Sun Quan feel a headache was that Xu Prefecture was massacred by Boss Cao in the early years. Now, the population of Xu Prefecture wasn't that large. Although their territory had expanded and they had even obtained relatively fertile land that could be cultivated, the population wasn't that large.
In the middle, Guan Yu continued to threaten Boss Cao's territory.
After Fan City was taken down, there were many rebel soldiers who responded to Second Master Guan.
Guan Yu then made a decision to cooperate with Liu Bei to gain a huge advantage.
Drive straight into Xuchang
Emperor Xian of Han was in Xuchang.
When Guan Yu's army surrounded Xuchang, the entire Cao Wei Corporation was in a commotion.
However, Xuchang was not so easy to fight now.
In the early years, Sun Ce and Yuan Shao had been thinking about Xuchang.
In order to prevent people from attacking Xuchang, Boss Cao had specially reinforced the city walls and defended Xuchang. It was not a problem.
However, the problem was the human heart.
Who could guarantee that there were no loyal officials of the Great Han in Xuchang?
Who could guarantee that there would not be any fence-sitters who wanted to join Liu Bei?
At least when Second Master Guan attacked, Xu Chang was already panicking.
Boss Cao reacted quickly and ordered his most elite Qingzhou soldiers to rush over to Xuchang. He could not afford to lose Emperor Xian of Han.
Only with Emperor Xian of Han in his hands could he officially abdicate.
Boss Cao was both worried and relieved.
What was reassuring was that Xuchang had been reinforced over the years. Although it was a rammed earth wall, as long as it did not flood the seven armies, it was impossible to conquer Xuchang under normal circumstances.
The most worrying thing was that the sturdy city would collapse from the inside.
Even though he had killed Chun Chen many times over the years.
But…
Who could guarantee that they would all be killed by him?
His current physical condition was also unable to support him going to Xuchang.
At this moment, Guan Yu had already given the order to start wave after wave of attacks.
For the time being, they were still blocked by the Xuchang garrison.
Guan Yu understood.
Xuchang was not easy to fight.
This was the most difficult part.
However, Guan Yu's original intention was not to take down Xuchang and threaten Boss Cao's hinterland to reduce the pressure on the eastern battlefield.
Second Master didn't have much food, so he could only last for less than half a month.
Especially after taking in so many peasant uprising armies, they could still build up their momentum. However, if they really went into battle to kill the enemy, they would not have undergone professional training. If they were not careful, they might even be a burden.
Especially when Boss Cao's army was charging over.
Guan Yu really didn't think he could win in a head-on battle.
After all, this was a partial army. Moreover, since the Battle of Hanzhong, the soldiers had been in battle for a long time. Now that they were deep into the hinterland, food and morale were all problems.
That's enough. When it's time to retreat, we still have to retreat.
"Tomorrow, we will attack the city again. If we can break through Xu Capital, we will charge in. If we can't break through Xu Capital, we will retreat!”
Guan Yu was having a meeting in the main camp.
To be honest, Guan Yu had been looking at the walls of Xu City for the past few days and felt that it was not easy to fight. He could not help but sigh in his heart.
Boss Cao had reinforced it countless times.
Easy to defend, hard to attack.
In the past few days, although Guan Yu had attacked the city, he had also used many methods to recruit the defenders of Xudu to surrender. However, the other party did not surrender at all.
They could tell that although Second Master Guan was fierce, he was still a powerful man.
However, there didn't seem to be many siege weapons.
If you can't break in, I have enough rations. What's there to worry about?
Secondly, many loyal officials of the Han Dynasty appeared in the city and tried to respond to Guan Yu. However, they were all killed by General Xu Du one after another.
Blood flowed like a river.
If you kill them all, how many people do you have left?
These heads were thrown outside the city.
It couldn't be shot down.
This was Guan Yu's judgment.
There was nothing to be ashamed of.
A single trial could withstand Boss Cao for ten months with a rammed earth wall, let alone the strengthened version of Xu Du.
"Father! Father!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
He saw Guan Ping walk in quickly,""The prince specially sent people to send thunderbolts and thunderbolt chariots to help father attack the city!”
"Thunderbolt Thunder and Thunderbolt Car?" Guan Yu was slightly stunned. What is this?"
Guan Ping quickly said," It's the prince's latest research. It's already been used by the king. The king used it to destroy Chencang. With this, father will definitely be able to destroy Xuchang!"”
Guan Yu opened his eyes slightly.”
After the Thunderbolt Carriage was assembled, there were about 200 small terrines and three large terrines.
After the artillery in charge of transportation explained the purpose in detail, Guan Yu looked at the sky. It was getting darker and darker. Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said,""Tonight at midnight, sneak attack Xuchang!"
