Cao Xing and his entourage crossed the river by boat, and after they went ashore, Cao Xing took Che Wu and others to quickly rush in the direction of Shangtang.

However, when Cao Xuan led people to pass through the territory of Chaoge, Cao Xing involuntarily narrowed his eyes, he stopped his horse, and looked around with his eyes wide. Che Wu and the others asked Cao Xuan what happened to him, Cao Xuan pondered for a long time and didn't speak, and finally just shook his head and said: "I don't know what happened, but there is a faint bad premonition in my heart!" ”

Cao Xing's idea completely belongs to the kind of unfounded, but when Cao Xing and the others completely rushed back to Shangtang, it confirmed Cao Xing's conjecture.

I saw Fengyun, Chen Hu, Fa Zheng and others, and when they saw Cao Xing coming back. Immediately went to report to Cao Xing, first of all, Cao Cao's troops in Yanzhou were in the northwest, and there was a tendency to march into the state, but I don't know why Cao Cao was marching, and when he was halfway through, he suddenly stopped in place and was not moving.

If it was just said that only Cao Cao moved, Fengyun and the others would not need to be so alarmed, but the key problem was that Yuan Shao in the east was not at ease, and the Zhao County where Xu Shu was stationed and Wei County, where Yuan Shao was stationed, were only separated by one place.

Yuan Shao directly dispatched his two generals, Yan Liangwen Chou, and asked them to camp troops outside Zhao County, and conduct soldiers and horse drills every day, and it seemed that they might attack Zhao County at any time.

The two heroes are eyeing Bingzhou at the same time, which is a little intriguing, but Cao Xing still didn't panic, and immediately asked people to spread out the map.

Now the marching Sima Fazheng who was staying in the barracks immediately walked up, pointed to the map and glanced at it, and then everyone said: "According to the intelligence of Jinyiwei, Cao Cao has already hoarded a large army in the northwest, very close to our border defense line, but when he was halfway through the march, he suddenly did not move, I pondered it carefully, and found that Liu Biao in the south of us actually had signs of freeing troops to go north, so this forced Cao Cao to throw a rat trap and did not continue to march!" ”

Cao Xuan only nodded slightly when he heard this, in fact, the song played by Liu Biao was arranged by Cao Xing, Liu Biao sat in Jingzhou and brought 100,000 armor, which is an extremely rich resource, if it is not used a little, wouldn't it be a pity? It's just that Cao Xing also knows that Liu Biao, the miser, is still possible for him to deter Cao Cao, but it is a joke to really let him send troops.

As for Yuan Shao's side, it basically goes without saying, Yuan Shao and Cao Xing have been old rivals for many years, and both sides want to sanction each other and die, so it is not surprising that Yuan Shao launched an attack on Cao Xing.

But in the final analysis, the reason why Yuan Shao changed to Cao Cao to attack Cao Xing this time was also Cao Xing's actions.

Cao Xing has always constrained everyone with the requirements of the legal system, not only the subjects under his rule, including the officials who watched in the county government, and even those families, but how could the families who were restricted by rules and regulations be willing, once people are in a high position, it is impossible to make them grovel again.

It is impossible for a family that is usually high up to bow to Cao Xing, so most of them moved their families, some to Jingzhou, and some to Jizhou.

Those who came to Jizhou, because of the huge resources, so they quickly gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, their arrival may not be a good thing for the people of Jizhou, but for Yuan Shao, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

If those families want to gain a firm foothold in Jizhou completely, Yuan Shao, the Jizhou pastor, can't get around it, so they rushed to visit and expressed their willingness to take refuge in Yuan Shao, and at the same time denounced Cao Xing's mistakes there.

Seeing this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Yuan Shao's mind, and he directly said that since everyone hates Cao Xing so much, then let's crusade against Cao Xing, those families didn't think much about it, and nodded their heads in agreement, this can be regarded as a letter of nomination from them to join Yuan Shao's camp.

Therefore, Yuan Shao, who has the support of countless families, immediately attacked Cao Xing, and also united with Cao Cao, as for why Cao Cao responded to Yuan Shao's call, in Cao Xing's opinion, it is nothing more than two words of interest.

The bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, not only for the people, but also for the major warlords, they also have the same idea in their hearts, Yuan Shao is willing to pay money, willing to give Cao Cao enough benefits, then Cao Cao will definitely come to Cao Xing's trouble.

Therefore, the current situation in Bingzhou is so dangerous, Yuan Shao in the east and Cao Cao in the south are eyeing each other, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both heroes in the Three Kingdoms period, and their soldiers are fierce generals, and their ministers are like clouds, which is indeed quite difficult to deal with.

Fa Zheng completely analyzed these situations, and after these situations, he frowned and sighed helplessly, obviously for this situation, he also felt extremely anxious.

However, Cao Xuan did not panic, he looked at the people present with burning eyes, and found that many people were like Fazheng, with a touch of anxiety on their faces, only one person was different, his face looked very calm, that person was none other than Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, who do you think we should deal with first!"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Cao Xing: "My lord, although the situation in the state seems to be very dangerous, in the final analysis, this is just a deliberate creation, and they just want us to feel panicked all day long, so as to naturally stand in the position!" ”

Cao Xuan nodded and motioned for Jia Xu to continue, and at this moment, Jia Xu also began to give full play to his talent as a strategist.

Jia Xu pointed to the map, looked at everyone and said, Yuan Shao's current power is indeed great, he has defeated Gongsun Zhan, occupied the area of western Liaoning, a few days ago, he captured the entire Qingzhou, Kong Rong in Beihai saw Yuan Shao's army killed, and fled directly, so Yuan Shao has now occupied the entire Jizhou, the entire Qingzhou, and half of Youzhou.

In a year or two, he occupied so many places, which is indeed not something that ordinary people can do, and it is precisely because of the occupation of so many places that Yuan Shao's power has expanded greatly, whether it is soldiers and horses or generals, they have begun to expand rapidly, as if Yuan Shao has now become the largest prince in the north.

Jia Xu first explained Yuan Shao's strengths, but then changed his head, everything has advantages and disadvantages, which is Yuan Shao's advantage, but it is also Yuan Shao's disadvantage.

Yuan Shao occupied so many places, and now he is challenging Cao Xing, which seems to be unstoppable, but he is just pretending, Yuan Shao will never dare to send heavy troops to disturb Cao Xing, for no other reason, although Yuan Shao's territory is vast, but it is precisely because the territory is too big and has just been defeated, so the pacification work is the most necessary.

After each ruler occupies that place, he should first restore the people's livelihood, and the people should settle down. Yuan Shao is not a fool, so Jia Xu expected that Yuan Shao must be a fox and a fake tiger, and Cao Xing's real opponent is only one person, and that is Cao Cao.

Jia Xu's analysis dissolved the two enemies into one enemy, and everyone looked at each other and smiled after hearing it, admiring Jia Xu's resourcefulness, so that everyone's mood was adjusted back.

And Cao Xing also nodded thoughtfully, Yuan Shao's march is very fast, but the faster the power expands, the more time is needed to recuperate, this time is Yuan Shao's conditioning period, as long as Xu Shu is defended well in Zhao County, I believe Yuan Shao will not dare to make any big moves.

That is to say, Cao Cao, a former friend, is now Cao Xun's enemy, Cao Xing immediately made a decision, because the opponent is Cao Cao, a generation of heroes can not be despised, Cao Xuan decided to go to Cao Cao in person for a while.

Cao Xing began to order troops and generals, and the people who accompanied him included Chen Hu Ganning, and as for the plot, there was Jia Xu.

Like Jia Xu, Wei Yan and others, they all assisted Fengyun in guarding Shangtang, and Cao Xuan definitely couldn't let him have the slightest problem in his rear.

Then Cao Xing ordered 30,000 troops and marched in the direction of Yanzhou, but then again, the place where Cao Xing and Cao Cao fought the final battle was neither in Bingzhou nor Yanzhou, and actually returned to the Chaoge that Cao Xing had passed through before.

When the garrison here in Chaoge heard that the two armies were fighting here, they were all frightened, and the officials in the county were frightened and fled, and the soldiers under them saw that their commanders had run away, and they didn't care so much, they threw down their weapons and fled in a hurry.

Therefore, in the territory of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Cao Xing and Cao Cao can be said to have entered a no-man's land, and the two armies are in positions here, ready to fight.

Both sides spent three days recuperating, and three days later, Cao Xing led 20,000 troops out of the city to meet the enemy and set up a position. looked at Cao Cao opposite with burning eyes.

Cao Cao and Cao Xing have not seen each other for a few years, and now when Cao Xing looks at Cao Cao again, Cao Cao's facial features have not changed much, but on his face, there seem to be some more wrinkles, but these wrinkles are not only a sign of the years, but also a kind of tempered expression.

All kinds of things add up, and now Cao Cao is no longer the Leng Touqing he was at the beginning, he has gradually grown on the road to becoming a hero, and he will also be one of the brightest stars in the Three Kingdoms period.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing shook his head helplessly in his heart, he didn't expect to face Cao Cao so quickly.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a hearty laugh from the opposite side, Cao Cao laughed, beat his horse out of battle, stepped forward a few steps, and then waved to Cao Xuan with a horse whip.

"Brother Cao Xing, I really haven't seen you for a long time!"

The soldiers were on the battlefield, and the two armies were facing each other, this Cao Cao was still so calm and relaxed, but Cao Xuan also smiled at this, followed the horse and whipped out of the battle, and looked at Cao Cao from afar and said.

"Brother Meng De, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to give me such a surprise as soon as you appeared!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted to the meaning of Cao Xing's words, Cao Xing was condemning him Cao Cao, why did he listen to Yuan Shao's words so much, this is obviously Cao Xing's grievances with Yuan Shao, why did he Cao Cao get involved, I think when he was still in Luoyang, the relationship between Cao and Cao Cao was far above Yuan Shao, and now Cao Cao is helping Yuan Shao to attack Cao Xing in turn, it is really providence.

When he understood the meaning of this sentence, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Cao Cao's expression, and it seemed that there was indeed something inauthentic. But soon he smiled and said to Cao Xing.

"Cao Xing, it's not that I want to embarrass you, but what you do in Bingzhou, there are indeed some taboos in the world, I sit in the house every day, and I receive articles scolding you, no less than dozens of letters, and now they are all piled up on my house, piled up, and under all kinds of pressure, I have to send troops!"

When Cao Xing heard this, he sneered in his heart, the reason why Yuan Shao sent troops to deal with Cao Xing was because of the support of the major families, why did those families support Yuan Shao, the reason was very simple, just because Cao Xing had touched the interests of their family, and they wished that Yuan Shao would quickly send troops to kill Cao Xing now.

Although Cao Xing is already trying his best to change the world, at most it is to transform the current state, and the vast majority of public opinion in this world is still in the hands of the family.

Therefore, if Cao Cao wants to send troops to attack Cao Xing, he doesn't need to worry about the division being unknown, he can pick a few articles from the hands of a certain family, and the content on them can make Cao Xing's scolding dog bloody.

So Cao Xuan immediately waved his hand: "Excuse me, Brother Meng De, since you have led the army here now, let's talk about it, how to solve it!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed out loud again, as if these things were not so important to him, and he only heard him wave his hand and say.

"Brother Cao Xing, I said that when I was in Luoyang, who of us was with whom, and now the reason why I sent troops is just to show the people under my command to make a show, how can I really beat your idea? But now that the soldiers are on the battlefield at this moment, if I don't do anything, it won't be easy to explain after I go back, so let's just have a fight! ”

To put it bluntly, it is a way of ancient warfare, two armies are facing each other, and no one can attack first, so they send two generals to the battlefield to fight alone.

Of course, this kind of heads-up, after all, is carried out in front of tens of thousands of people, so winning or losing is of great significance, the winning side will naturally be morale, and the losing side will naturally lose its soul.

In the face of this situation, the current Cao Cao not only coped with it freely, but also played psychological warfare with Cao Xing, Cao Xuan had to admire Cao Cao, but soon Cao Cao saw Cao Xuan on the opposite side, and seemed to show a smile to him, only to see Cao Xuan nodded: "Okay!" ”

Although Cao Xuan agreed to it in one bite, it seemed to be a good thing, but Cao Cao's heart was suddenly shocked, he only felt that something bad was going to happen, and sure enough, the next moment Cao Xuan directly took out his bow and arrow from his back with lightning speed.
