Lu Bu called Chen Gong and said, "You already know about the war in Xicheng, right?" ”

"Yes."

Chen Gong had more smiles on his face than Lu Bu: "The battle of Xicheng, even our military aircraft department can't believe it. The Yizhou army was able to defeat Cao Ren's 100,000 elites. According to the information we have, those 100,000 people are veterans. It is also a main force of Cao Cao, but he didn't expect to be lost in such an inconspicuous small place as Xicheng. ”

Lu Budao: "There are also the 120,000 Yuzhou troops of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun." ”

"The Yuzhou army is incompetent and can basically be ignored. The most important thing is to defeat Cao Ren's 100,000 elites. It's a great victory. The minister felt that the Yizhou army should be rewarded. ”

"Agreed."

Lu Bu thought for a while and said: "Yue Fei is the first time he has won a big victory after serving as the governor of Yizhou, which is not only conducive to his authority in Shu, but also to stabilize Hanzhong and shock Cao Cao. The Ministry of Rites and Rites allocated 10 million money to the Yizhou Assassin Mansion to reward the meritorious personnel who participated in the war. From the generals to the soldiers, they can't be left behind. ”

"Yes."

Chen Gong responded.

After the Battle of Nanyang.

Don't worry about the war in the south.

There are hundreds of thousands of troops of Yue Fei, Lu Xun, Bai Qi, Luo Cheng, and Liu Bowen, even if Cao Cao eats the leopard's gall, he does not dare to attack. On the Yuzhang County side, there were Gao Shun's 50,000 troops and Liang Hongyu's 50,000 troops to Gao Shun for reinforcements. Plus Han Shin's 1st Army. It is also an extremely powerful force.

Cao Cao easily did not dare to attack.

Now it's Pengcheng and Qingzhou left.

Since the beginning of the war, there has been no breakthrough. Fan Lihua only used 150,000 Xuzhou troops to meet Xu Huang's 200,000 elites, which was very difficult.

Mu Guiying's Qingzhou army was also very difficult to repel Gongsun Kang's 100,000 Liaodong army.

The Military Aircraft Department intended to increase troops in Qingxu and Xuzhou, but Lu Bu thought about it, but finally did not agree.

this day.

Fan Lihua's Xuzhou army arrived on the outskirts of Pengcheng.

The artillery regiment and 30,000 rounds of artillery shells are already in place.

A big war is about to begin...

Early in the morning.

The sky was just dawning.

Fan Lihua led the army to the outside of Pengcheng.

The cannon is ready to go...

"Ready!"

Just when Fan Lihua was about to give the order to attack, what he didn't expect was that the gate of Pengcheng was opened, and more than a dozen generals walked out and reported to Fan Lihua: "In the early morning of last night, Xu Huang quietly withdrew from Pengcheng with 200,000 Cao troops and marched in the direction of Yanzhou. The last general and others gathered the soldiers in the city and occupied Pengcheng. Now all the parts of the city have been taken over by us. ”

"Really?"

Fan Lihua didn't seem to believe it.

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the last general will not dare to say half a lie." The generals led the way.

Fan Lihua took a closer look, they were indeed the generals who were originally stationed in Pengcheng. It can't be fake.

For the sake of safety, Fan Lihua first sent 10,000 people into the city to take over important places. Only then did he lead a large army into the city.

According to the local shadows, Xu Huang left Pengcheng only after receiving a military order.

"It's cheap..."

Fan Lihua originally wanted to smash all the 30,000 cannonballs in her hand at Xu Huang. Xu Huang's army of 200,000 was also something he was determined to eat. Unexpectedly, Xu Huang ran away.

Yanzhou.

Wei Wangfu.

Cao Cao received military reports from everywhere and regretted it very much.

Sima Yi sat aside and said: "After the battles of Xicheng, Fancheng, and Wancheng, our army lost about 120,000 to 140,000 troops. In particular, the elite of General Cao Ren's department was almost wiped out. The rest of our troops have retreated to the territory of Yuzhou. But..... The hundreds of thousands of troops of Luo Cheng, Lu Xun, Bai Qi, and Liu Bowen were stationed in Nanyang, and Yue Fei was in Hanzhong, and they could hit Yuzhou at any time. King Wei must be guarded against. ”

Cao Cao said: "I really regret not listening to you at the beginning..." ”

"It's come to this, what's the use of lamenting? The king of Wei should regain his strength and fight Lü Bu again. Sima Yi slowly turned sideways, hugged his fists at Cao Cao and said: "The minister has a plan, which can help the King of Wei seize the two states of Ji and You, and enhance the strength of the King of Wei." ”

"Didn't you say that you should prepare for Lu Bu and not fight with Er Yuan for the time being?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yes. That's what the minister said before. But the battle of Xicheng lost more than 100,000 of our elites. If you don't fill this hole, how can you defeat Lu Bu? Sima Yi said: "What the King of Wei lacks now is not land, nor money and grain. It's the population, the weapons. Jizhou and Youzhou, where Yuan is located, have a large number of resources left by Yuan Shao, and the population is rich and can raise 500,000 soldiers. If the king of Wei wants to defeat Lü Bu, he must first take these two states. ”

Cao Cao nodded, raised his hand and said, "Tell me, what is the solution?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Er Yuan firmly believes that the king of Wei allied with them in order to defend against Lü Bu. It will never guard against the King of Wei. If the king of Wei summoned them to Pingyuan County on the grounds of capturing Qingxu. Wouldn't it be easy to take them down in one fell swoop and control their soldiers and horses? ”

"I'm afraid that Yuan Xi from Youzhou won't come." Cao Cao said.

"What's so hard about that? The king of Wei promised to help him with 100,000 stone of grain and ordered him to assemble in the plains, would he not come? Wait for the second yuan, and then take back the food paid.... ”

Sima Yi's strategy is very inauthentic.

If this strategy is dedicated to Liu Bei, who 'wants to be a bitch and wants to set up an archway', it will definitely not be adopted. But Cao Cao had no scruples. Like Lu Bu, as long as he can win, he can use any trick, and he doesn't care about his reputation.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, you can do your best." ”

"Yes."

Sima Yi responded.

"There is one more thing, King Wei should send someone to investigate." Sima Yi said.

"What's the matter?"

"Hanzhong."

As soon as he heard the two words in Hanzhong, Cao Cao felt a headache, and said angrily: "What else to check?" Hanzhong gave it to Lu Bu.... ”

"Yes. But..... Didn't King Wei think it was strange? Lu Bu tried his best to send envoys again and again, and even used hundreds of thousands of troops, just to get Hanzhong. Although the topography of Hanzhong was very important, the minister felt that it was not enough to make Lü Bu so. There should be a greater interest that attracted him. Sima Yi said.

"I'll send someone to check..."

Cao Cao also felt that something was wrong, and promised to send someone to investigate.

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

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the lunar month.

As the year approached, the generals of the military academy had already graduated, and they left Shouchun one after another to take up their posts in various places.

The Institute of Science and Technology has made a lot of small things, handed them over to Pan Jinlian, and put them on the market.

Inside the Assassin's House.

Chen Gui came to the living room with a pile of new objects.

In the hall there are Lu Bu, Diao Chan and Pan Jinlian.

Etiquette and salute one by one, and people bring ballpoint pens, bookcases, plastic stools, chairs, tables... Wait, Zhao Lu Bu said: "This is the latest manufacturing of the Academy of Science and Technology, and it is all made of hard rubber." What does the stepfather think? ”
