"yes, that's right."

Lu Bu also thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "Bai Qi's 2nd Army has already left Jingzhou. Counting the days, I have arrived in Yingchuan. It's just that it will take a few more days to reach Xudu. Cao Cao had just left from here, and when he arrived in Xudu, Bai Qi should have arrived. We only cared about facing Cao Cao, but we ignored that there was also a 2nd Army. ”

"Hahaha.... In this way, we have a chance to win... ”

The haze on Jia Xu's face was also swept away.

"My lord, the minister advises to stay put. Send someone to tell Bai Qi and ask him to protect Xiang Yu's broken military camp, cooperate with Xiang Yu to fight, and encircle Cao Cao. After the Tiger Battalion and the Long Xiang Battalion have withdrawn, we will rush to help in the battle. Jia Xu said.

"Okay, you go and give the order." Lu Bu responded in one bite.

"No."

Jia Xu passed on the order.

this day.

Bai Qi led his army to the Yingchuan border.

He's a strong soldier now. There were not only 100,000 elites of the 2nd Army. There are also Xue Rengui's 300,000 recruits. Liu Bowen's 50,000 Banner Army. Moreover, as the supreme commander of the 2nd Group Army, even Xue Rengui and Liu Bowen had to obey his orders.

Bai Qi is a young man, and he controls such a large heavy army group, and his heart of contribution is even more than Liu Bowen and Xue Rengui.

After arriving in the southern part of Yingchuan, he began to arrange his troops.

In the account.

All the generals arrived.

Bai Qi unfolded the map and said: "Cao Cao's capital, Xudu, is two hundred miles away. The Military Aircraft Department ordered us to capture Xudu. I resolutely carried out the orders of the Military Aircraft Department, not only to capture Xudu, but also not to let a single person escape. Especially Cao Cao, who has just returned to the army, must catch him! Therefore, we have to set up a formation in advance, set up a pocket, and block Cao Cao. Catch him in an urn. ”

"General Bai said very well, I agree very much!" Liu Bowen said.

There are also Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yanjin next to him. Although the work is not enough, the position is very high.

Bai Qi glanced at them, retracted his gaze, and asked Liu Bowen: "Bowen's intelligence, I have always admired it." What do you suggest for this siege of Cao Cao? ”

"There are two main places that must be occupied." Liu Bowen seemed to have thought of a plan a long time ago, walked over and pointed to the map: "Xiaotai Mountain in the north of Yingchuan guards the three official roads out of Yingchuan. Occupying Xiaotai Mountain is equivalent to cutting off Cao Cao's retreat. Then there is Huaicheng in the south of Yingchuan. Huaicheng is more than 60 miles away from us, and there is no garrison... ”

"When we occupy these two places, Cao Cao's range of activities is limited. Then General Bai personally led the army, surrounded from the southwest, and directly attacked Xudu. Cao Cao has only one battle! Or... He retreated to the north of Yingchuan, but there was a large army of lords in the north. If he goes, it's a dead end. ”

After Liu Bowen finished speaking, Bai Qi thought about it...

In the end, he said, "Okay, Berwyn's strategy is in line with my intention to attack Yingchuan. I'll set up a formation and strive to eliminate Cao Cao within two months! ”

"General Xue."

"Yes." Xue Rengui stood up.

Bai Qi said: "You have 300,000 recruits in your hands, and I will help you with another 20,000 elites." Defend Xiaotai Mountain and Huaicheng for me. Can you hold it? ”

"Yes! But.... Xue Rengui said with some worry: "The last general has taken away most of the troops, what should you do?" ”

"I have 80,000 elites, and Berwyn's 50,000 banner army, which is enough to meet Cao Cao's main force. You just need to guard Xiaotai Mountain and Huaicheng for me. Make sure Cao Cao doesn't escape, and I'll thank you. ”

"Yes."

Xue Rengui felt that Bai Qi looked down on him a little.

With a dignified army of 300,000, plus 20,000 elites, can't they hold two places? Xue Rengui held back his strength and wanted to prove to Bai Qi on the battlefield.

"Let's leave tomorrow and head to Xudu..." Bai Qi said to Liu Bowen.

"Okay."

Until now, Bai Qi didn't know that Xiang Yu was also in Xudu, and he didn't receive Jia Xu's order. But even if he received an order, he would set up his formation like this. Because he wanted to prevent Cao Cao from escaping. It is intended to completely eliminate Cao Cao.

At the beginning of the lunar month.

It was raining in the sky.

The climate is getting colder.

In such weather, the fighting continues.

Xu Capital City.

Xiang Yu's broken military camp challenged outside the city of Xudu for several days, and the defenders in the city did not dare to engage in the battle.

Just when Xiang Yu was about to leave Xu Du.

Cao Cao's army was killed and stationed on the flank of Xu Du.

At the same time, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan's 50,000 iron cavalry also gave up the task of guarding Lu Bu and rushed to help in the battle.

Xiang Yu has always been arrogant and conceited, when he saw Cao Cao coming, how could he leave again?

He led the broken military camp directly to Cao Cao's camp to challenge.

Knock knock...

The deafening sound of war drums resounded outside the camp.

Xiang Yu stood alone in front of the village, and uttered filthy words: "Cao thief, don't you come out to die?" Don't you have an army of 200,000, and you're afraid that my 20,000 won't be able to ride? Come out and fight me to the death, don't be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

"Arrogance!"

Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Liu Bei, and Pang Tong stood on top of the walled tower and saw Xiang Yu challenge with their own eyes.

Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei burst into cheers and said, "Xiang Yu is waiting, your grandfather Zhang will come down." ”

Zhang Fei was afraid of Li Yuanba, but he was not afraid of Xiang Yu. has never fought with Xiang Yu. He was sure that there was no second person in the world who had the strength of Li Yuanba.

If he plays like this, he has a great chance of winning.

But Liu Bei was taken aback by Zhang Fei's words, and quickly stopped him: "Yide is reckless." ”

"Big brother..."

Zhang Fei really wanted to fight.

Liu Bei gave him a strong look and signaled him to be calm.

"Ugh...."

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei, and said in a strange manner: "I am sincerely allied with Xuande, but I don't know that Xuande is just acting on the surface, which really chills me." ”

"Why did Meng De say this?" After Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei, he asked.

Cao Cao said: "Among us, Brother Yide Xian's martial arts are the highest, if you don't let him fight, how can you defeat Xiang Yu?" Xiang Yu is the commander of the broken military camp. If he can be defeated, the broken barracks will be scattered. This is a great opportunity. ”

Liu Bei said: "Yide's martial arts are not enough to defeat Xiang Yu. We all know this, why should Meng De force him? ”

Pang Tong also smiled and said: "Xu Chu, the Tiger Guard general under the command of King Wei, also has the courage to be invincible, and he also has a chance of winning the battle against Xiang Yu, right?" Why not give it a try? ”

"Ahem..."

Cao Cao coughed lightly twice, and changed the topic: "Then no one should fight." ”

"Xiang Yu's broken military camp is the best at field combat, but it can't attack fortifications. Why don't you lure him to attack? Sima Yi said suddenly.

"What's Zhongda's idea?"

Everyone looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi said: "It's actually very simple. Xiang Yu was anxious to make contributions. If he sees the flaws in our camp, he will definitely take a risk, change the cavalry into infantry, and forcibly attack the village. This would greatly weaken his military. ”
