Biyang City, the county capital.

"General Sun, what you said at the city gate today that Cao Thief is deploying troops, can you elaborate?"

At this time, the wine banquet had already lasted for half a while, and Guan Ping toasted Sun Wolf with a wine bottle, and then asked.

Since the history books only record that Cao Cao arrived in Luoyang in September, Xu Huang led his people to break through the defense line of the Jingzhou army, and then the Eastern Wu marched west against the west.

Therefore, what Guan Ping wants to know most now is how long Cao Sun reached a consensus.

"I don't believe that things could be so coincidental, Xu Huang just broke his father at the same time that Jiangdong attacked Jingzhou."

"The two of them must have reached an agreement to send troops together to flank our army."

Guan Ping thought for a while, and Sun Wolf, who was at the head of the group, also raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and then said: "Young General, before the last general led the crowd to break through, he inquired about the news that Cao Cao was slowly transferring the elite to Luoyang. ”

"As for Cao Cao, he is still sitting in Chang'an, but now that the prince is on the front line of Xiangfan, besieging Fancheng, he is already forcing Cao Ren very urgently."

"According to the wolf, the Cao thief should arrive in Luoyang in late September at the most."

As soon as he spoke, Guan Ping didn't ask any more, and while continuing to hold the wine bottle, he secretly pondered: "In Luoyang in September, this can coincide with the sneak attack on the rear in October by Dongwu." ”

"This means that at most, in October, Wei Wu will reach an alliance?"

After a pause, Guan Ping sighed secretly: "Alas, it seems that there is not much time left for our army!" ”

It continued for a while, and the banquet ended with joy, and the crowd dispersed.

Immediately, Deng Aicai strode in, faced Guan Ping, and arched his hand: "Shaoshao... General, Ai... It's been investigated, according to... According to the soldiers of our army, Sizhou... The battle situation is consistent with Sun Wolf's report. ”

"Look... Come on, it's... Ai is too cautious, a little... General, the last general is willing to be responsible! ”

Hearing this, Guan Ping looked at Deng Ai for a moment, and then chuckled: "Shizai, you didn't do anything wrong, our army went north alone, and Sun Wolf came to vote, this situation itself is very abnormal, you are cautious and cautious, it is very normal." ”

"In other words, as a general, you need to have a calm and calm character, so that you will not easily lose your subordinates."

"Now that Sun Wolf is not abnormal, the current military strength of our army has more than 6,000 people, and the general will lead the people north to Xudu next."

"Shizai, during the time when the general is going north, the safety of Biyang is entrusted to you, and you must guard the retreat of our army."

"No!"

Looking at Guan Ping's extremely solemn eyes, Deng Ai also resolutely refused.

A few days passed, September 10th.

After this period of development, the situation in the Central Plains has become more and more shaken, and in order to suppress rebellions in various places, Xu Du has no time to take care of anything else!

On this day, Guan Ping had already decided to lead the people to the north, and 5,000 soldiers gathered on the military academy field, stood in formation, and swore to go on the expedition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time our army will go north to the capital of Xudu, I am afraid that we will face endless reinforcements, and the situation may be dangerous."

"However, if we win this battle, we will definitely be able to relieve the pressure on our comrades who are fighting bloodily on the front line of Xiangfan."

"Therefore, we must attack Xudu this time."

After a pause, Guan Ping's voice changed and shouted: "Of course, in view of this attack on Xudu, the danger has increased exponentially, and the general will naturally not let the soldiers bleed in vain and lose their lives." ”

"Therefore, the general decided that if a soldier is unfortunately killed in battle when he goes north this time, then after returning to the army, I will definitely tell my father and give his family double pension."

"Secondly, if there is a great military achievement in the battle, I will also have full authority to inform my father and the king, and give you and other corresponding officials."

"In other words, knights, officials, this time to fight in the north, this is your reward after the war."

When the words fell, thousands of soldiers suddenly became indignant, shouting: "The young general is mighty, mighty, I will die unswervingly, and I am willing to follow the young general and make meritorious contributions to the enemy!" ”

At this moment, Guan Ping also knew that once his side went north, with the chaos in the Central Plains, the Cao army on the Hebei side would definitely go south to support.

Because, there is no room for error!

Therefore, Guan Ping directly used the officials to appease the hearts of the people first, and improved the cohesion among the soldiers, as well as the morale and morale of the soldiers.

Now it seems that the effect is extremely obvious, the morale of the people is high, and the morale of the army has been fully mobilized.

"All the army, let's go!"

At this time, Guan Ping's face was solemn and he was shouting.

The order was laid, and thousands of formations marched in an orderly manner towards the shore of the water outside the city.

Then, Guan Ping faced Deng Ai from the side, his eyes were solemn, and said: "Shizai, I will only give you more than 1,000 elite soldiers, I hope you can live up to my hopes and keep Biyang." ”

"No, less... General, rest assured. ”

After emphasizing it again, Guan Ping led his personal guards, as well as Pang De and the others to leave.

This time, due to the attack on Biyang and the defection of the thief army on the major hills, the rations of the Jingzhou army have also increased from one month to two months now.

However, this time he went north, Guan Ping only ordered his soldiers to carry dry food for 20 days.

In other words, this time to go north to attack Xudu, the Jingzhou army will end its trip to Xudu in half a month at most.

After a long time, they ran out of the city, and thousands of people reached the shore, and then they got into the warships, and then some of the fishing boats, and then crossed the water and headed north.

Now, Biyang has won a big victory, and the Jingzhou army's plan to raid Xu Du naturally can't be hidden, so he simply goes north at this time, and Guan Ping will make a big show and deter all parties everywhere, so that they don't dare to act rashly!

Along the way, due to the great victory of the Jingzhou army, they went north along Bishui, but the way was unimpeded and unimpeded.

However, this is also related to the rebellion in the Central Plains, and Xu Du has no time to take care of it.

After three days of marching, on September 13, the Jingzhou soldiers had crossed Bishui and Rushui, and then went ashore in the territory of Zhaoling.

Summoning the Tomb.

"Quickly go ashore, this place has entered the hinterland of the Central Plains, we must leave as soon as possible."

At this time, Guan Ping stood with his sword in his hand and gave an urgent order.

A moment later, the Jingzhou soldiers continued to assemble, but one of the scouts scattered around to spy rushed back.

"Tell the young general, on the shore a hundred meters ahead, there is a white-haired old man who is immersed in fishing."

"When the villain went to the neighborhood to inquire about the military situation, the old man said something strange."

"Say what?"

Hearing this, Guan Ping was stunned, touched his chin with his hand, and asked.

"Young General, the old man said that the young general was worried about something, and he could solve his doubts!"

"What do you mean by worrying, worrying?"

Hearing the scout's announcement, Guan Ping couldn't help but ponder for a while, and he was confused.

Immediately, Sun Wolf from the side said: "Young General, don't pay attention to this matter, I'd better lead the crowd to leave as soon as possible." ”

When the words fell, Guan Ping was about to leave it behind and give the order to pull it out, but suddenly, he couldn't help but think of something, and immediately said: "General Pang, General Sun, you two will lead the crowd to the front for more than ten miles, hide and rest." ”

"I'm going to go and I'm going to return!"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Ping carried a big knife in his hand, and the sword swirled around his waist, like an arrow off the string, and rushed out.

"Major General."

"General."

For a moment, the crowd looked puzzled and shouted.
