Han Cheng has a total of four top strategists under his command - Li Ru, Fu Zhu, Sima Yi, and Xu Shu.

Xu Shu is good at that kind of positive and upright duel, and he is a conspirator;

Li Ru is good at the kind of dark, behind-the-scenes duels, and is a conspirator;

And Sima Yi and Fu Zhu, their abilities are a little more balanced, and they can use both yang and conspiracy.

After all these years of conquest, each of them has grown into a unique existence.

As Li Ru said, Yuan Shao is nothing more than a 'paper tiger' who 'bluffs'.

Therefore, even though Yuan Shao had many people, Han Cheng did not take him to heart.

Only the more comprehensive ability of the Fu Zhu and the first commander of the Fenwu Army-Zhang Liao was used.

Put the two of them on the battlefield in Youzhou, and it can basically be regarded as a sure victory.

Facing Cao Cao in Hanoi County, Han Cheng had to pay fourteen points of attention.

The Art of War: Every time there is a big war, no matter what the enemy's strength is, we must be wholehearted and attach great importance to it.

However, Cao Cao's ability is outstanding, and he attaches two points of attention;

Jia Xu did not have any last resort, and added another point of attention;

Guo Jia is full of wisdom, and he attaches more importance to it.

As a result, the status quo of 14 points of importance has been formed.

Cao Cao only brought Jia Xu and Guo Jia two strategists to fight this time.

In such a situation, Xu Shu, the 'Yang Moujia', is a little out of reach.

It's not that Xu Shu's ability is not good, it's just that Xu Shu's advantage of being too 'upright' is too easy to target at this time and becomes a disadvantage.

In this war, Han Cheng could only let Xu Shu give full play to his other advantages: guarding the rear, pacifying the people, supplying food and wages, and constantly passing the grain route.

Han Cheng chose Li Ru and Sima Yi to face the enemy.

If Cao Cao brings Xun Yu to come this time, it is estimated that Han Cheng will also take Xu Shu to fight.

Conspiracy to conspiracy, conspiracy to conspiracy!

......

Hanoi County, Yewang County

Cao Cao's army of 80,000 was stationed here.

This time, the situation is urgent.

Although he attacked Han Cheng with Yuan Shao on two sides, Cao Cao also made a bloody investment and brought his most elite 80,000 horses.

Of the 80,000 horses, there were 18,000 cavalrymen, 2,000 'tiger and leopard cavalry', 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and 30,000 Yanzhou soldiers.

Cao Cao is different from Han Cheng and Yuan Shao.

He fought for many years and accumulated limited wealth.

20,000 cavalry was already his limit.

The 'tiger and leopard horse' in the cavalry is Cao Cao's most elite men and horses.

The soldiers of the 'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry' are the elite soldiers who Cao Cao carefully selected from his own army.

It is no exaggeration to say that a person who can serve as a general in an ordinary army is just an ordinary soldier in the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry".

Under such a selection method, the combat effectiveness of the 'tiger and leopard rider' can be imagined.

said that one is ten, and it tastes a little aggrieved.

It is precisely because of the strong combat effectiveness of the 'Tiger and Leopard Rider' that only Cao Cao's most trusted Cao generals can take this position.

The word 'Cao' fully illustrates Cao Cao's prudence on 'tiger and leopard riding'.

The current commander of the "Tiger and Leopard Rider" is Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen, whose real name is Qin Zhen, is Zidan.

His father Qin Shao once recruited soldiers and horses for Cao Cao, and was later killed by Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan, Cao Cao saw that Cao Zhen was young and lonely, so he adopted him.

After adulthood, Cao Zhenli is infinitely powerful.

Once, when hunting, a tiger chased Cao Zhen behind him, and Cao Zhen shot the tiger back, and the tiger fell to the ground.

After Cao Cao saw it, he liked Cao Zhen's courage very much, so he asked him to lead the 'tiger and leopard ride'.

Such an important "tiger and leopard ride" will only be used in a big war, and it will not be dispatched easily.

At the same time, it also shows that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Han Cheng.

As for the 60,000 Qingzhou soldiers and Yanzhou soldiers, these are Cao Cao's old 'team', who have followed Cao Cao to fight for many years.

Not to mention anything else, the combat experience accumulated over so many years alone is not comparable to that of ordinary armies.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strong army.

Under the city of Yewang

It was Han Cheng's 80,000 martial arts army.

These 80,000 Fenwu soldiers and horses are composed of 5,000 men and horses of the Xuanwu Army, 30,000 horses of the Qinglong Army, 10,000 horses of the Vermilion Bird Army and 35,000 men and horses of ordinary soldiers.

Cao Cao came to attack Han Cheng's annexed state, why is Cao Cao now holding in Yewang County, but Han Cheng is attacking under the city?

This is exactly Li Ru's strategy - 'avoid the real and make the false', gently test Cao Cao's reaction.

After all, at this time, Han Cheng still has Youzhou's opponent, Yuan Shao, and it is also very reasonable to choose a quick battle in this Yewang County.

However, common sense is just the idea of ordinary people, and in the face of Cao Cao and others, this means is a bit off the table.

I saw that in Yewang County at this time, Cao Cao was standing on the city wall, with two people standing beside him, and then a cadre of guards.

The first two are a middle-aged man in his forties and a young scribe with a dashing demeanor.

The middle-aged man is Jia Xu; And the young scribe was Guo Jia.

Looking at the formation of the Fenwu Army under the city, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "The strategists of the Fenwu Army are a bit of a 'small trick'!"

gathered troops under the city and put on a quick look; However, the attacking formation is layered and interlocking.

A well-organized, well-organized appearance, a little anxious here?

I guess this is a 'avoid the real and make it false', and the lord doesn't need to pay attention to it! ”

Cao Cao gave an 'um' sound, which was considered to agree with Guo Jia's words.

Cao Cao did not have an intelligence battalion, so he had no way of knowing the accompanying strategists of the Fenwu Army.

After a while, Cao Cao asked the two of them, "Wenhe, Fengxiao." You say, who will Han Cheng send to be a military advisor? ”

Guo Jia secretly said in his heart: "The unpredictable prophet is Zhuge Liang's ability, how do I know?" I had to say nothing.

After waiting for a while, Jia Xu saw that Guo Jia didn't say a word.

Then he whispered to Cao Cao: "Lord, Han Cheng has an intelligence battalion under him, and he can find out a lot of news.

Han Sung should know the news that Bonghyo and I are here.

Now that they know, they will definitely deal with it.

I think Han Cheng might send Li Ru, Sima Yi, or two of the three to come.

I definitely won't send Xu Shu here. ”

Since Jia Xu surrendered to Cao Cao, Han Feng is Li Ru himself, and it is no longer a secret.

Cao Cao looked at Fenwu Jun and said arrogantly: "Well, I feel the same way. Xu Shu has good ability. But in this battle, it did not play a big role.

As for the two strategists? We'll go out of the city and we'll see! Xu Zhu, drum gathering! Come with me, both of you. ”

"No". Jia Xu and Guo Jia replied respectfully.

......

After a while, the gates of Yewang County were wide open.

Cao Cao's men and horses rushed out. Half an hour later, they set up a position in front of the city.

Cao Cao took a few steps forward, and heard Xu Zhu shouting at the Fenwu army: "My lord, please Han Cheng come forward and talk about it." ”

The military formation of the Fenwu Army split an empty road, and I saw Han Cheng slowly stepping forward under the escort of Zhao Yun.

When Cao Cao saw Han Cheng coming, he arched his hand and said, "In the past, the heroes of the world jointly crusaded against Dong Zhuo of the Cholera Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo saw that we were powerful, and led the crowd to evacuate Luoyang and go to Chang'an!

Among the heroes, only you and I dared to lead the troops to pursue, at that time, I thought that the heroes in the world were only me and you.

I haven't seen you for eight years, and you and I are not what we used to be, and we are no longer those reckless teenagers of the past.

What you did in Taiyuan County surprised me.

You will be the biggest obstacle to my domination.

Today, when we are at war again, you will not hide it.

Take out your strength and let me see, are you worthy of my attention? ”

So arrogant, so confident.

In the world, there is probably only this Cao Mengde.

Han Cheng smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Caozhou Mu is the 'dragon among people', Han Cheng will definitely go all out." Cao Zhou Mu is good next, if you can't be defeated, please surrender as soon as possible! The position of commonplace that is missing in the court is exactly what I have reserved for Caozhou Mu. ”

Not the slightest!

Han Cheng also made the arrogance to the fullest.

In just a few words, the-for-tat confrontation between the two people made the soldiers under his command full of fighting spirit.

Both of them know that it is useless to talk too much, it is better to 'see the truth under your hands'.

So, the two rode back to the battle, and at the same time issued a military order: "Attack!" ”

I saw that Cao Cao's army and Fenwu's army were like two huge giant beasts, heading towards the opposite side and walking slowly.

In the face of Han Cheng, Cao Cao did not have the slightest righteousness.

with 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers and 8,000 cavalry as the front;

With 30,000 Yanzhou soldiers as the central army, 5,000 cavalry on each side responded;

With 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers as the rear army, it coped with all kinds of changes that occurred at any time in the field.

As for the most elite two thousand 'tiger and leopard riders', they were beside Cao Cao, ready to raid each other at any time.

Han Cheng's Fenwu army used the most powerful offensive formation as soon as it came up.

I saw Gao Shun leading 5,000 Xuanwu troops to the front, and on both sides of the Xuanwu army were 10,000 ordinary soldiers, led by Zhang He.

Behind the Xuanwu army was the 10,000 Vermilion Bird Army, led by Huang Zhong.

On both sides of the Vermilion Bird Army, there were 20,000 Green Dragon Army, led by Han Hao and Gao Ran respectively.

Further back, there were 20,000 ordinary soldiers, led by Xu Huang.

The remaining 10,000 Blue Dragon Army and Han Cheng's 2,000 'Heavenly Dragon Guards' were around Han Cheng, coping with the changes in the field.

The brave and warlike Qingzhou soldiers met the Xuanwu army, which was as stable as Mount Tai.

Although the Qingzhou soldiers were numerous, they did not gain the upper hand, but were defeated and retreated by the Xuanwu army!

At the same time, the cavalry of Cao Cao's army on both sides of the Qingzhou army, after leaving eight hundred corpses, forcibly broke through the two rounds of arrow rain of the Suzaku army and rushed into the formation of ordinary soldiers on both sides of the Xuanwu army.

For a time, the formation of the soldiers on both sides of the Xuanwu Army was in chaos.

In the formation of the cavalry rushing into the army, the Suzaku army could not release arrows.

Therefore, he could only retreat back, and Xu Huang led an army of 20,000 to fill the vacant position.

Cao Cao looked at the situation in the field and said to the generals around him: "The Xuanwu army is really strong. If my 'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry' is the first cavalry, then this 'Xuanwu Army' is the first infantry! ”

After admiring a word, Cao Cao said to the banner soldiers: "You tell Yu Ban and Le Jin!" Don't expand the gains of the cavalry and just drag it out. Let me see, is it my cavalry that kills fast, or Han Cheng's 'Xuanwu Army' kills fast? ”
