was persuaded by Sima Yi, and Cao Cao was shaken again.

He finally listened to Sima Yi's advice and prepared to retreat to Longshan.

It's just that....

He didn't know Sima Yi's suggestion, it was selfish.

Sima Yi had long seen that it was impossible for Cao Cao to defeat Lu Bu. It won't be long before it will perish. After losing the Central Plains, he wanted to leave Cao Cao and return to his hometown in Henan.

He was afraid that Cao Cao would die and not stiffen, so he retaliated against Sima.

So, he came up with such a solution. Introduce Cao Cao to Longshan, if Cao Cao can defeat Lu Bu, he will always be loyal. Help Cao Cao counterattack the Central Plains. If he can't, he would have retreated to the mountains and forests.

The most important thing is that after Cao Cao was forced into Longshan, if he could not defeat Lu Bu, he would have no way to retreat, and he would definitely be destroyed. There may be a silver lining.

Because Lu Bu has won the world, there is no need to retaliate against the family. He wants stability.

...........................

this day.

Cao Cao sent 10,000 foot soldiers to attack Xiang Yu's camp.

Cao Cao led a large army and galloped eastward.

Because Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong's more than 200,000 troops had not yet been surrounded, Cao Cao easily jumped out. However, he only walked for less than a day before he was caught up by Xiang Yu's iron horse.

Da Da...

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Cao Hong ordered: Line up and meet the enemy!

Roar, roar, roar...

The soldiers of the Cao army formed a defensive formation and blocked a plain.

After Xiang Yu led the iron cavalry to arrive, he wanted to fight Cao Cao. But he was stopped by Jia Xu: General Xiang should not be impulsive. I received news yesterday that Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong's 200,000-strong army had arrived 200 miles away. Presumably not far away.

Mr. Wenhe, I have to talk about you...

Say me?

Oh, yes.

Xiang Yu crossed his waist and said: Why do you always want to rely on others to fight this battle? We have 40,000 horsemen and 10,000 chariots. Does he Cao Cao have it? It's just a hundred thousand foot soldiers. Even if he doubles or doubles, I will win!

General Xiang, haven't we already discussed this issue? You agreed, huh? Jia Xu said.

What do I agree to?

Jia Xu said: It is not difficult to defeat Cao Cao's 150,000 army. The difficulty is to capture him. Are you absolutely sure that you will capture him? If not, listen to me.

I have!

Xiang Yu didn't want to wait any longer.

Jia Xu shook his head and said: You are angry. As soon as the battle began, the battlefield covered more than ten miles, during which the peaks and mountains were stacked and the roads were crisscrossed. If there is no large number of troops, the battlefield will be encircled. Cao Cao could flee at will.

Hum....

Xiang Yu was very annoyed.

But he had to admit that what Jia Xu said was very reasonable.

Iron cavalry is only suitable for fighting on the plains, and is suitable for pursuit on official roads. In case Cao Cao doesn't take the official road. What's the use of cavalry no matter how fast it is? Once Cao Cao fled back to Hebei, the war would be much more troublesome.

Thinking of this...

Xiang Yu stiffly restrained his emotions, gritted his teeth and said: Okay, I'll wait for two more days. You'd better send someone to urge me, don't keep me waiting too long. If you wait for me in a hurry, I don't care so much.

Well.

Jia Xu sent a team of heralds to urge Qin Qiong and Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses.

.................

The two armies confronted each other for a while.

There was no fighting.

Cao Cao didn't dare to march again, for fear that Xiang Yu would chase and kill. So they were stationed in place.

Night.

He sent 20,000 men and horses out of the camp and set up an ambush in the south. In the second half of the night, it broke through again. Xiang Yu and Jia Xu pursued and fell into an ambush. Fortunately, Jia Xu's response was fast, allowing Xiang Yu to return in time, and the casualties were not serious.

Subsequently.

Xiang Yu killed the 20,000 Cao army!

Cao Cao successfully broke through the siege and led the remaining 120,000 troops, bypassing Qin Qiong and Zhang Liao, to Longshan.

The journey was smooth and unintercepted.

After arriving in Longshan, he quickly armed...

Meanwhile.

Cao Zhang's 300,000 troops pounced. Replacing Cao Cao, he was heavily surrounded. Qin Qiong, Zhang Liao, Bai Qi, Xiang Yu and Lu Xun, Yue Fei, Liu Bowen and others behind Cao Zhang, were all less than twenty miles away from Cao Zhang's troops.

At such a close distance, Cao Zhang was already inescapable.

After the formation of the encirclement.

All the generals went to Liu Bowen's camp to make a comprehensive deployment.

In the tent.

The map hangs above.

There is a sand table in the middle.

Among all the generals, it is still Bai Qijia Xu who has the highest position, and Bai Qi spoke first: Mr. Bowen, the general, Mr. Wenhe. This battle is crucial. I thought of two strategies. The first is to mobilize heavy troops and surround Longshan. We all know that Cao Zhang gave up Luoyang in order to aid Cao Cao. This shows that he will be desperate to help Cao Cao. If we go to block Longshan, then Cao Zhang is very likely to catch up, and we will send him a siege point to help. It can not only prevent Cao Cao from escaping again, but also encircle and annihilate Cao Zhang's 300,000 troops.

The second is to ignore Cao Cao and encircle Cao Zhang first. Cao Zhang's army is only 300,000, and his strength is less than half of ours. And our army has more than 50,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 chariots. Cao Chang can be easily eliminated. After that, he went to crusade against Cao Cao. But... I was afraid that Cao Cao would flee to the Tiger Prison. The garrison of Tiger Prison Pass is less than 20,000, can it stop the 120,000 Cao army?

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Zhang Liao.

Because the defense of Tiger Prison Pass has always been in charge of Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao patted his chest and said: Rest assured, the soldiers of my Tiger Prison Pass can hold on for at least half a month, and they will never let Cao Cao escape.

It doesn't take half a month, as long as you can hold on for ten days. Bai Qi smiled slightly.

I think it's dangerous. Yue Fei shook his head.

Why did General Yue say this? Zhang Liao asked.

Yue Fei said: General Zhang, don't forget, Cao Cao has a magic machine battalion. The cans fired from his Thunderbolt were equivalent to the power of the New Army's artillery. Are you sure that the 20,000 troops in the Tiger Prison can be stopped?

Oh, yes.... Everyone remembered.

There are also some worries.

Once Cao Cao escapes from the Tiger Prison Pass and returns to the Central Plains, it will become a big disaster.

Cao Zhang is already meat in his mouth, so he can't stop eating it, right? Xiang Yu said: Destroy him first, and then go to encircle and suppress Cao Cao. It's not necessarily too late.

I agree with what General Xiang said, fight Cao Zhang first. Because Cao Cao took the Tiger Prison Pass, it was useless. Where can he flee? There is no place for the Central Plains, and there are strong troops in both Xuyang and Xuyang. I can't go through Hebei. Baimajin, Puyang, and Liyang, all have my heavy troops. Lu Xun said.

Well....

Many generals agreed with what Xiang Yu and Lu Xun said.

You can't skip eating meat that reaches your mouth.

Mr. Wenhe, you are a military advisor, what do you think? Bai Qi asked.

Jia Xu looked at Liu Bowen on the side...

Liu Bowen waved his hand again and again: Don't look at me, you can fight as much as you want.

Hey?

Everyone was puzzled.

Isn't playing Cao Cao Liu Bowen's favorite? How did you become less positive?

What does Berwyn mean by that? Jia Xu asked.

No matter how he fights, Cao Cao will definitely die. Liu Bowen smiled: You just decide.
