After Cao Cao woke up, he only felt an inexplicable palpitation.

Why did he have such a strange dream, could it be that something really happened in Xuchang?

Could it be that Xuchang was conquered by Sun Jianjun? Could it be that Cao Ren died in battle?

Cao Cao couldn't suppress the worry in his heart more and more, and the anxiety in his chest became deeper and deeper.

Cao Ren is not only his favorite general, but also his brother and brother, if Cao Ren has an accident, Cao Cao will never accept it.

As early as a few years ago, outside Puyang City, his brother Cao Hong unfortunately died under Lu Bu's halberd, and at that time he had already experienced the pain of his brother Yongjue. However, Cao Hong's ability is far inferior to that of his brother Cao Ren, and in this time and space, he has not done anything like saving Cao Cao's life, so the relationship between himself and Cao Hong is not as close as that of Cao Ren.

Because of the loss of Cao Hong, although Cao Cao was sad for a while, he was not too uncomfortable because of it. But Cao Ren is different, if Cao Ren has any mistakes, Cao Cao will definitely be saddened.

"If Zixiao loses, I will definitely slaughter Jiangdong one day!" However, although Cao Cao was uneasy, it was just a dream in the end, and it was impossible for him to make any out-of-the-ordinary actions because of a dream at the moment.

Besides, the reinforcements themselves have already been dispatched, and all they can do now is to concentrate on dealing with the Guandu battlefield in front of them, and as for Xuchang, they can only wait and see what happens.

————————————————————————————————

An army of 5,000 people was galloping towards Xuchang in the starry night, needless to say, this was naturally the reinforcements sent by Cao Cao to Xuchang.

5,000 people, in terms of numbers, can be described as pitiful, for the current situation under the city of Xuchang, these 5,000 people can be said to be just a drop in the bucket. But what can Cao Cao do? Reinforcements cannot be sent, but if they are sent too much, it will be dangerous for the Guandu battlefield.

5,000 people is already the largest rescue force he can come up with under Yuan Shao's persecution.

The current situation is very clear, Xuchang City and Guandu, no matter which of the two battlefields can be defeated, and if either side is defeated, Cao Cao's forces will be destroyed.

If you want to rely on a mere 5,000 reinforcements to repel Sun Jian's tens of thousands of troops, this is undoubtedly a fool's dream. Therefore, the task of this support army is to delay Sun Jian's army as much as possible, so that the day when he will capture Xuchang City can be postponed as much as possible.

As for how to do it, Guo Jia also offered some strategies, if these strategies can be successful, they may indeed be able to hold Sun Jian's hands and feet for a while.

And the commander of this support army is Cao Cao's brother-in-law, the general Gao Shun and Gao Changgong.

Gao Shun's trapped camp suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the Euphorbia, and now there are less than 200 people left. Since he has lost his biggest trump card, it is better to send Gao Shun back to Xuchang for help than to leave Gao Shun on the Guandu battlefield.

Gao Shunzi was also happy to accept this task, after all, his family was in Xuchang City, and he was also quite worried when he heard that Xuchang was in trouble. Now that he can lead troops to rescue Xuchang, he is naturally willing to serve.

The psychology of the rest of the generals is the same, so before Cao Cao said the candidate for the commander of the reinforcements, everyone was a little vaguely expecting that Cao Cao could hand over the task of returning to Xuchang to himself.

However, Gao Shun also has a headache now, can he not have a headache, after all, the number of soldiers and horses he led on this trip is only 5,000.

Five thousand men and horses are really nothing in the eyes of Sun Jian's tens of thousands of troops, and they can almost be destroyed with a single hand. Although Guo Jia had offered a plan to Cao Cao, he could make the most efficient use of these 5,000 reinforcements. However, no matter how good the strategy is, it is difficult to ensure that the other party will not see through it, after all, Gao Shun knows that the opponent has Zhou Yu in the formation.

What kind of person is Zhou Yu, that is a super bull who "talks and laughs, and the canopy is wiped out", even if he has the advice of the ghost genius Guo Jia, but Gao Shun still can't help but feel worried when facing the cow man.

It stands to reason that Gao Shun has been in the Three Kingdoms era for a long time, and he will not have any cringe against the celebrities of the world. But the problem is that this time Gao Shun led only 5,000 soldiers and horses. With fewer hits and more hits, there are famous generals like Zhou Yu in the opponent's formation, so it's no wonder that Gao Shun is uneasy in his heart. If Gao Shun was asked to bring 50,000 people to compete with Zhou Yu, although he would be cautious, he would never be afraid of anything.

"General, it's not good!" The reinforcements were hurrying continuously, and they were already tired, and when Gao Shun was thinking about whether to let the soldiers rest for a while, a small colonel suddenly rushed to him and said to Gao Shun with a panicked expression.

At this time, the reinforcements were not far from Xuchang City, and they could already see the city wall of Xuchang City from afar.

"What's wrong?" The little school Gao Shun happened to know him, and he knew that he was also a calm person, but now seeing that he looked so flustered, something big must have happened, so he hurriedly asked.

"On Xu, Xuchang City, there is a Cao character flag that has been removed!"

"What!" Hearing Xiao Xiaoxiao's words, Gao Shun's face immediately changed greatly, and he exclaimed.

The flag of the city fell, could it be said that Xuchang City had fallen!

In such a situation, how can Gao Shun still be able to bear it.

"The whole army accelerates, rush to Xuchang as fast as possible!" Knowing that Xuchang was likely to fall, Gao Shun was so anxious that he wished that all the soldiers of the army could put on their wings and immediately fly to the city of Xuchang.

Although the number of defenders in Xuchang City is less than that of Sun Jianjun, it will not be conquered so quickly, Cao Ren, what is going on!

Now Gao Shun can no longer take care of everything, and the only thing he thinks about is to speed up and rush to Xuchang with all his might.

Just kidding, Lao Tzu's wife and children are all in Xuchang City! Xuchang City fell, what should they do!

As for the five thousand people rushing straight over like this, whether the moths were dying in vain, Gao Shun had no time to think about this question at this time.

Hope is still in time, Gao Shun prayed silently in his heart.

"General! At this time, the whole army rushed over, which is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger and killing itself! Gao Shun's order was issued, and the military marquis Hao Zhao immediately admonished.

There were originally two military marquis in the trap camp, one was Wang Zhong and the other was Hao Zhao. However, Wang Zhong was unfortunately killed in the battle between the trapped camp and the halberd warriors, so Hao Zhao is now the only remaining military marquis in the trapped camp.

Of course, there are only 200 people left in the camp now, and one military marquis is already too much.

"The city of Xuchang is broken, everything is over, even if it doesn't enter the tiger's mouth, it will perish!" Gao Shun was in a very bad mood now, and he only cared about marching as soon as possible, and Hao Zhao couldn't listen to his words at all.

"General! It's just a flag, not necessarily torn down by the enemy, maybe it was blown down by the wind? Hao Zhao was helpless, so he could only speak nonsense.

Of course, this kind of incident of the flag being blown down by a strong wind is not uncommon, but it is very rare, and it seems that there is no wind now. Not to mention that there is no wind at this time, even if the wind is strong, Gao Shun, who is very anxious, will not take Hao Zhao's words to heart.

Seeing that Gao Shun was not moved at all, Hao Zhao actually knelt down and hugged Gao Shun's legs, and shouted loudly: "Didn't the general forget the plan of the military advisor?" ”

"Now that Xuchang City has fallen, what are you talking about?" Gao Shun is also on fire, why is this Hao Zhao so unreasonable! You must know that if you delay for a moment, your family may be more dangerous.

However, Hao Zhao hugged Gao Shun's leg tightly and refused to let go.

Gao Shun wanted to kick Hao Zhao away, but in the end he couldn't get his foot.

Although Gao Shun was anxious about his family at this time, he did not lose his mind because of this. He knew that Hao Zhao's intentions were entirely for his own good, and he was responsible for the five thousand people behind him.

And you must know that Hao Zhao's own family members are also in this Xuchang City now, if you want to say that you are worried, Hao Zhao himself must be very worried at this moment.

Gao Shun also knew that if he really kicked this kick, then Hao Zhao's heart would probably be cold, and he might not be willing to continue to do things under him in the future.

"General, think twice!" Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, the rest of the generals also admonished one after another.
