Yuan Shu didn't make a move to Xuzhou before, because Liu Dai was guarding Yanzhou, and he couldn't let Liu Dai, who supported Yuan Shao, not attack, but attack his allies.

After Yanzhou is divided, the contradiction between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu will completely break out.

Occupy more cities in Yanzhou, and when you confront Yuan Shu in the future, you will have more security.

Judging from the news from the detailed work, Cao Cao has a lot of strategists under his account, Cheng Yu and Chen Gong are all working under Cao Cao, if Cao Cao is defeated, not only the city will be obtained, but also talents.

"Order the generals and soldiers of the army, prepare for battle, and after Cao Cao arrives, Ben Hou will be defeated by Cao Cao's subordinates." Lu Budao.

The generals in the army Qi claimed that it was, and many generals even smiled, among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, many of them were defeated generals under Lu Bu, even the alliance leader Yuan Shao, and the fierce general Wen Chou led his troops to Xiao Mengjin, wanting to rob Lu Bu's supplies, but killed Wen Hou Yihe, what is it if he is not a defeated general.

As for Cao Cao's failures at the hands of Lu Bu, the number of times is even more.

"Wenhou, most of the Cao army are foot soldiers, and among our army, there are thousands of elite cavalry, which can be constantly harassed on the way to Gaoping, and even be able to defeat the Cao army in one fell swoop, and the Cao army in Gaoping City, after the previous battle, will not dare to fight easily." Guo Jiadao.

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and the Cao army was facing each other head-on, not necessarily if the two armies set up a battle and sent cavalry to the battlefield, why not a head-on battle, if the Cao army did not have the means to deal with the cavalry, it would be the killing of the Xuzhou cavalry on the way to come.

"The policy of filial piety has won the heart of Benhou." Lu Bu laughed.

Guo Jiadao: "It's all for the Xuzhou army to win." ”

"Gao Shun led the army to defend Gaoping, if the Cao army went out of the city, it would be enough to charge and kill directly, and Ben Hou would lead his personal guards and two thousand cavalry battalions to cut off the Cao army." Lu Budao.

Gao Shun said, "General, after all, there are more than 10,000 people in the Cao army, why don't you take all the cavalry in the general away." ”

Lu Budao "Cao Cao is not an easy person, leaving a thousand cavalry, for the Xuzhou army's strategy, then foolproof, if Cao Cao has no other means, with the courage of the cavalry and the strategy of filial piety, Cao Cao wants to come to Gaoping, than to ascend to the sky." ”

"Whoa." Gao Shun hugged his fists.

After receiving praise from Lu Bu one after another, the generals in the army could feel that Lu Bu attached great importance to Guo Jia.

After all, Guo Jia is a young man, and he is not taken seriously under Yuan Shao's account, but he has such treatment when he comes to Xuzhou, which is indeed a little complacent, Lu Bu's reputation is not good, he is still a son of a poor family, so that the children of the high-ranking family are surprised, and they will have a greater sense of achievement.

With Lu Bu's praise, Guo Jia's status in the Xuzhou Army will be significantly improved in the future, Lu Bu did this, but also to let Guo Jia have a sense of belonging to the Xuzhou Army, no matter how talented Guo Jia is, after all, he is a young man and needs to be recognized, at this point, Lu Bu can satisfy Guo Jia.

Leaving most of the soldiers outside Gaoping City, Lü Bu led the cavalry to meet Cao's army.

A quick battle is good for the princes, and when the war breaks out, the daily consumption of grain and grass is innumerable, and it is the best policy to end the battle as soon as possible.

With the current situation in Yanzhou, even if Cao Cao chooses to stick to the city, there will be no good results, Yanzhou fell into Cao Cao's hands for a short time, it is difficult for officials to have a sense of belonging to Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao is not long in Cao Cao's civil and military generals, I am afraid they are also in the wait-and-see, if Cao Cao loses in this confrontation, they need to consider the next family.

Lü Bu and Yuan Shu sent a large army to come, making the Yanzhou officials panic, they seemed to see the destruction of Yanzhou from Yuan Shu and Lü Bu's actions, Cao Cao has a family background, but Cao Cao's family background is far from Yuan Shu, even if Yuan Shu had a bad reputation when he was in Luoyang, now he has become a monarch with a strong hand in his hands, which is still very attractive to the Yanzhou family.

There were not a few officials who secretly contacted Yuan Shu.

The situation in Yanzhou, how could Cao Cao not understand, but in this case, it is not his strength that can be controlled, what he needs is continuous victories to stabilize Yanzhou, just like when Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, and my victories have allowed Lu Bu to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao has led his troops to fight for many years and has rich experience, and he asked himself how much better than Lu Bu, if the Yanzhou army had been commanded by him before, there would definitely not be a defeat in the hands of Lu Bu.

The scouts were all sent to the battlefield, and before the two armies could meet, the scouts began a fierce confrontation.

Scouts are the elite existence of the cavalry team, and they are not elite soldiers, and they are not qualified for the duties of scouts.

When the army is marching and fighting, the scout is the eyes and ears of a large army, and getting more useful information can help the commander correctly judge the situation on the battlefield.

After seeing the invincible scene of the Xuzhou cavalry crisscrossing the territory, Cao Cao was deeply touched and built a tiger and leopard cavalry of 500 people at great cost.

Cao Chun's expression was serious, as the general of the Cao army, he knew that this was a critical moment for Cao Cao's life and death, if Cao Cao could come out of the turmoil in Yanzhou, he would definitely stand tall among the princes, otherwise he would need to start all over again.

"General, there are Xuzhou cavalry thirty miles ahead." A team leader led the way to the front.

Cao Chun nodded and said, "Have you ever found a large force of enemy cavalry?" ”

"Nope." Team leads.

Cao Chun's heart was full of doubts, "This place is more than 60 miles away from Gaoping, if the army moves forward at full speed, it will be able to reach Gaoping in less than a day, why is there a cavalry of the Xuzhou Army here?" ”

"General, the scouts of our army clashed with the scouts of the Xuzhou army, and the scouts of our army lost three people."

"Our scouts lost two people."

The news came one after another, Cao Chun's face became more and more solemn, in a short period of time, the scouts sent out, actually lost more than ten people, according to this speed, what kind of losses will the cavalry suffer, the tiger and leopard cavalry is Cao Chun's training, the loss of each cavalry, is heart-wrenching.

Cao Cao did not have the financial resources of Xuzhou, and could not ensure that the war horses ridden by tigers and leopards were absolutely excellent, but he gave Cao Chun a lot of power.

The equipment of the tiger and leopard riding is the most sophisticated in Cao's army.

"Immediately inform the Chinese army of the news." Cao Chun ordered.

Scout confrontation was originally a normal thing, but the key was that it was far away from Gaoping, which made people have a sense of foreboding.

"Lord, now it seems that Lu Bu is planning to take the initiative." Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his chin and said slowly.
