Guo Jia was placed under house arrest by Cao Cao, and the news shocked the entire Xu Capital.

People couldn't understand how Cao Cao could behave such a strange behavior at such a critical moment.

Guo Jia's next days were to drink the decoction made by the prescription written by the imperial doctor every day, eat the tonic sent by Cao Cao, and couldn't drink alcohol, living in dire straits every day.

Well, that's what Guo Jia himself thinks.

Without Guo Jia by his side to give advice, it was a very huge loss for Cao Cao, but he couldn't watch Guo Jia die young.

The next day, Cao Cao led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to a decisive battle with Liu Yu.

After experiencing Wang Yue's assassination, Liu Yu didn't want to waste time anymore.

Liu Yu estimated that Cao Cao might slack off after knowing that he was injured, so now was the best time for him to attack. As for Liu Yu's injuries, they did not affect the southward attack at all. Zhuge Liang can command the battle in a car, and he Liu Yu is not muddy.

Liu Yu summoned his confidants and generals to prepare for the march. To Liu Yu's surprise, Dian Wei, who was injured, also came.

"Evil, what are you doing here? Don't go back to recuperate yet! "Liu Yu didn't want Dian Wei to go into battle with an injury.

"My lord, I'm already well. Nothing more. I'm a general, how could I not participate in this kind of war! Dian Wei said with a grin.

In fact, Dian Wei's injury has not healed yet, but after being sneered at by Lu Bu last time, Dian Wei was determined to join the war. It is rare to be a little higher than Lu Bu in terms of official position, if he did not participate in the war this time, then he would have no military exploits, and he would definitely be caught up by Lu Bu again. People live in the world to fight for breath, and Dian Wei cares about this very much.

"Go back and recuperate!" Liu Yu didn't want to show up for anything.

Dian Wei was anxious, if Liu Yu insisted that he go back, then he would have no way to make meritorious contributions, and pleaded: "Lord, I'm really fine." Just let me go with you. ”

When Liu Yu wanted to refuse, Chen Gong came out and said, "Your Majesty, since General Dian is worried about the military, it is better to let the escort team follow Your Majesty." In this way, the ministers can also attack with peace of mind. ”

Liu Yu thought about it and felt that he could still accept it, so he agreed.

Dian Wei was overjoyed, patted Chen Gong on the shoulder and thanked Chen Gong. Chen Gong didn't agree so much with Dian Wei's way of thanking him. His small body can't stand Dian Wei's repeated beatings.

"Listen to the command! Immediately rectify the whole army and go south to Xuchang! This time, I want to capture Xuchang! Liu Yu gave the order.

Liu Yu's army was quickly assembled and marched towards Xuchang.

Such a large-scale march would definitely alarm Cao Cao. Liu Yu didn't think that Cao Cao would be unguarded at all.

"Your Majesty, if our army goes directly south, I'm afraid it will suffer a lot of losses, which will be very unfavorable to the next march." Chen Gong came to Liu Yu's side and said worriedly.

"Gongtai, don't worry. I've got a plan. Look at this! Liu Yu drew his own route on the map.

Chen Gong looked at it and knew what Liu Yu wanted to do.

Liu Yu began to explain his offensive plan. Liu Yu adopted the strategy of secretly crossing Chen Cang. On the surface, it was to attack Changgecheng, a strategic town between Changshe and Xuchang, leaving a part of the soldiers and horses, planting more flags, and attracting Cao Cao's army to help. In fact, it was a detour to Yingyin City and went straight to Xuchang from the side. If Cao Cao led his troops out of Xuchang to rescue Changge, then he Liu Yu would kill behind Cao Cao and stab Cao Cao's chrysanthemum.

As for how to make a detour to Yingyin without being discovered by Cao Cao, Liu Yu had already arranged for the "dark department" to explore all the terrain around Yingchuan. Yingyin and Xuchang are blocked by a group of hills, because the land is barren and cannot grow food, so there has been no human population. And here it can let Liu Yu's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses pass.

Of course, there are many details in this, so Liu Yu will not go into detail one by one.

Chen Gong's face was full of shock, Liu Yu had already planned for a long time. But why didn't Liu Yu say it at the pre-military meeting just now? Chen Gong can only be attributed to the emperor's mental technique.

"Your Majesty is strategizing, and Weichen admires it." Chen Gong exclaimed.

"Go according to the plan." Liu Yu enjoyed the feeling of being praised, especially since the other party was a wise man.

Chen Gong hurriedly went down to make arrangements, and the army also accelerated the pace of marching towards Changge.

When the commander of the Changge garrison saw the murderous Liu Yu suddenly appear in the outer city, he immediately sent an urgent messenger to inform Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao, who sent troops from Xuchang, was also looking at the map, and he was also studying how to win.

Cheng Yu came over with Changge's messenger, and then said: "Lord, Liu Yu's army has arrived in Changge City, and Changge Shou will send an urgent messenger to ask for help!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he leaned on the map and watched. After pondering for a while, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, as if he saw the hope of defeating Liu Yu.

"Ordered to forbidden, you must defend Changge, and drag Liu Yu to Lone! The city is in the people! Cao Cao coldly gave the order.

The messenger hurried back to report to Yu Ban.

"Lord, Changge is in danger, and our army needs to be rescued as soon as possible." Cheng Yu suggested.

Cao Cao smiled: "Yu Ban, that guy can endure it, it's not so easy for Liu Yu to take down Changge." Lone wanted to take the opportunity to give Liu Yu a pain. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Yu is interested, did Cao Cao find anything?

"Zhongde, come and see. There is a group of hills between this Xudu and Yingyin, which is usually sparsely populated, but it can go straight to Changge. This is where Lone stumbled upon during a hunting trip. Cao Cao told Cheng Yu what he had discovered.

"Is the lord trying to make a detour to Yingyin to attack Liu Yu's abdomen?" Cheng Yu immediately understood that Cao Cao was trying to surprise him.

"That's right! Liu Yu has a large number of troops, and attacking Changge is the best choice. Lone's troops are not as many as him, so he just took the opportunity to give him a ruthless blow. Liu Yu will definitely send scouts on the road from Xuchang to Changge. Gu divided the army into two parts, and a small group of soldiers rescued Chang Ge from the front to confuse Liu Yu. Most of the rest of the soldiers and horses passed through here and went directly to Liu Yu's back. Cao Cao told his plan.

"The lord is wise." Cheng Yu exclaimed.

Cao Cao smiled from ear to ear, the last time he hunted and found this place, it was because Cao Cao was lost. Of course, Cao Cao would not say such an ugly thing as he was lost.

"Let's go down and arrange it now." Cao Cao said.

"I understand it below!" Cheng Yu immediately received his order.

Cao Cao's troops were divided into two parts at once, one of which was led by Cao Ren to condense the big scene of rescuing Changge. Cao Cao led most of his troops into the small hills, preparing to kill Liu Yu through Yingyin.

Liu Yu and Cao Cao actually thought of going together.
