。 "What did Cao Cāo think, he threw the three fortified cities to us in vain," Cheng Pu stood on the head of Pucheng, looked at the rushing water of the Yellow River, and asked Guan Zheng on the side

"Pucheng, Chenliu, Beihai are mixed in the forces of our army, and they can't echo each other, rather than being gradually eaten away by our army, it is better to transfer all the defenders in the city back to Hebei, form a local advantage in the plains and Jinyang, recapture Yecheng and Baima, first stabilize the land of Hebei, use the Yellow River to recuperate, and then try to go south, "Guan Zheng's thoughts on Cao Cāo are clear

"In this way, this Cao cāo is well versed in the way of giving," Cheng Pu heard Guan Zheng say this, and immediately praised there, not fighting for the gains and losses of a city and a place, this is easy to say, it is really important, and how many people can do it indifferently, he Cheng Pu can't do it, I believe that Wu Wang Sun Quan can't do it

"What we have to do is not to follow the rhythm of Cao Cāo, he wants to collect the armor and then recapture Yecheng, and finally drink our decisive battle, these are all things that take time to complete, we just don't give him this time, he wants to suppress first and then promote us, but we want to be angry, Pucheng and Chen Liu, please give General Cheng and General Huang, a certain will lead the army to Yecheng, first take the plain to open the passage for our army to enter Hebei, in the hope that our army can attack Jinyang after the two roads of the Yecheng Plain, and form a siege of Cao Cāo, and when that time comes, he Cao Mengde will definitely return to the sky, and the world will be determinedGuan Zheng wrapped the cloak on his body and said to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals behind him

After a few years, Guan Zheng who returned to Luoyang, and after the deployment of soldiers and horses in Yizhou was complete, he led the army from the Tiger Prison Pass to the economic officials, crossed the white horse and arrived at Yecheng Cheng, and the total number of troops under the command of Chengzheng to Houye City was as high as 120,000, and the generals and colonels under their command were also all gathered under the tent to obey the dispatch, for Guan Zheng's strategy plan, Sun Quan spared no effort to support him, he took the policy of not coming to the king's life, let go and let Guan Zheng have full authority to manage the two states of Yiyan, and the military and political affairs of Qingzhou and Xuzhou were entrusted to Zhou Yu for a time, and the two major governors under Sun Quan's command were powerful

"The former Cao army brigade gathered in Nanpi, according to some estimates, there are no less than 200,000 Cao soldiers gathered in Nanpi at this time, and it seems that Cao is about to launch a general attack on us," Zhao Yun welcomed Guan Zheng, who was in the dust, into the temporary governor's mansion in Yecheng, and reported to him with a fist

"Two hundred thousand hum, you can't see how many rì Cao cāo is about to break up the soldiers and horses and redistribute them to the generals under his command, and then one will go to Jinyang and the other will go to the plains, and then he will fight to the death with us with his army," Guan Zheng sneered as he unloaded his armor

"The soldiers are very fast, wouldn't he delay the fighter plane with such a toss, and why did he break up the soldiers and horses" Zhao Yun is an upright person, and he doesn't understand the twists and turns in this very well

"The 200,000 army sounds like a lot, I believe that the news of our army pressing the border has reached his desk at this moment, instead of rushing to send troops, it is better to dismantle and assign those troops who are not strong enough to be assigned to the generals he trusts, first stabilize the troops, and then divide the troops into two ways, one way to contain our defenders in Yecheng, the other way is to pass through Huguan to take the white horse, cut off our backup supplies, but unfortunately Huguan has already changed hands, if it is not for Cao Pi to make trouble to seize the throne, I am afraid that Huguan will be noticed by Cao Jun as soon as it is lost, now Cao Cāo account, Wen Wu is worried about his autumn accounting, no one pays attention to whether Huguan is still surnamed Cao, speaking of which, Cao Pi has helped me a lot"Guan Zheng unloaded his armor and explained to Zhao Yun there

"The order goes down, while the Cao army's large army has not yet moved into the plain, we will take the first step to seize the city, and then open a passage to Hebei for the follow-up troops of Eastern Wu," Guan Zheng decided to send troops to the plain and occupy the plain before the arrival of Cao's army

"There are about 20,000 defenders in the plain, and the defender is Xiahou Shang, this person is skilled in bows and horses, and he can be regarded as a strong general, but he made a mistake when he came to attack Yecheng as a reinforcement before, and now it is the time to be cautious and be a man with his tail between his legs, maybe we can use his mentality this time to see if we can open the city gate" Guan Zheng asked his soldiers to change into Cao Jun's military uniforms and banners, and decided to take the risk of playing a time difference, pretending to be Cao Jun's upcoming troops, and deceitfully opening the city gate

"The comer stops, hugs his name, and then goes forward, but don't blame me for letting go of the arrows," looking at the mighty troops outside the city, and there was no edge in sight, and a defender at the head of the plain city trembled and endured fear, and there he set up arrows and opened his bow, shouting

"Hurry up and tell you, General Xiahou said that the King of Wei is coming in a flash, let him open the door quickly to greet him," Guan Zheng arranged for some of the Hebei soldiers to be subdued before as the front army, but he was afraid that because the accent would expose the identities of the Eastern Wu soldiers, sure enough, the defenders at the head of the city immediately relaxed when they heard the reply of the soldiers, and said hello to the comrades on the left and right, and turned around and went down to the city to find Xiahou Shang

"I don't know which general's subordinates you are, why don't you see your lord coming," when he was young, Xiahou Shang put on his armor and went up to the city tower, poked out half of his head, and asked there

"We, General Xiahou, are talking to the King of Wei at this time, and we are deliberately sent to go first," the soldier replied again when he heard this

"General Xiahou has another word to convey to the general, you were punished by the King of Wei before, and this time you must serve with carelessness," Guan Zheng followed closely behind those surrendering soldiers, and seeing that Xiahou Shang seemed to have some doubts, he immediately whispered in the ear of the surrendered soldiers

After listening to the retelling of the soldiers in the city, Xiahou Shang was suspicious, "In the end, I have been with my uncle and brother for many years, and I specially sent someone to remind me" The uncle in Xiahou Shang's mouth is Xiahou Yuan's brother, Xiahou Yuan, he still thinks that Xiahou Shang is thinking about the old feelings, and deliberately takes care of him, where do you know that these soldiers outside the city are enemies

"Open the door, open the door, sweep the gate of the city, and follow me to meet the King of Wei," Xiahou Shang also wanted to reverse his impression in Cao Cāo's heart, and immediately shouted to the left and right people, Cao Cāo gathered the army, and Xiahou Shang knew about the fact that he was about to settle in the plain and Jinyang, so he didn't have any doubts about these soldiers standing in a majestic array under the city

"The general beware of deception," before opening the door, the colonel reminded Xiahou Shangdao

"When the king of Wei arrived, I waited for the city gate to be closed, do you want me to be punished again," Xiahou Shang was full of thoughts at this time, only thinking that he could serve Cao Cāo well, and naturally chose to ignore this kind of advice
