Han Yi had just finished receiving Chen Deng, and when he heard that Manzhong had sent an envoy to come, Han Yi asked Chen Deng to take refuge for the time being, and he summoned Manzhong. Full of favor said: "Han Zhengdong, Tao Qian's old thief is in the East China Sea, and only Tancheng is left in the East China Sea, and my lord intends to invite Han Zhengdong to hunt in Tancheng at the same time." Han Zhengdong took Liu Bei by himself, and my lord took Tao Qian's old thief. ”

Han Yi was shocked when he heard this, what did Cao Cao mean? Liu Bei went north from Tancheng to Qingzhou, Cao Cao should have heard something, why did he send an envoy to invite him? Yes, he has stayed in Pengcheng for too long, and Cao Cao is about to have a final decisive battle with Tao Qian, and he can't completely sort out his own purpose, and Cao Cao definitely can't feel at ease.

Han Yi said with a smile: "This is Cao Mengde's last battle to attack Xuzhou, I don't know what he really thinks?" I'm a straight human being, and I want to ask for clarification. Does Cao Mengde really want me to lead the troops, or do you want to ask me to lead the troops to retreat temporarily? Please also give me a word of truth, I will listen to you. ”

"This ...... This ......" was full of favor for a while, and then replied affirmatively: "My lord naturally wants to ask Han Zhengdong to go to Tancheng to help in the battle." ”

Han Yi laughed and said simply, "Okay, I'll lead the troops there." ”

Seeing that Han Yi was so simple, Man Pet was a little afraid to believe it, and hurriedly asked: "If the pet wants to ask Han Zhengdong to temporarily lead the army back to Runan, Han Zhengdong will also agree." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "I have been in Pengcheng for more than a month, and I see that Pengcheng will be safe, and I still have to do something." However, Man Boning wanted to invite me to Tancheng at first, but not to ask me to return to Runan. So I will do as I said. ”

Manzhong was at a loss, and wanted to persuade him, but he heard Han Yi laugh and said: "Since Cao Mengde is suspicious of me, I will let him doubt it enough." Let's see if what he suspected will come true. ”

In Han Yi's laughter, the stammering full favor said goodbye and returned to his life. Han Yi led the army to Fu Yang and Wuyuan, and went straight to Tancheng from the west. Cao Cao led 70,000 troops and attacked Tancheng on four sides. When I heard that Han Yi was leading the troops to come, I couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.

According to the original plan, it was to stay in Pengcheng instead of Han Yi, and I was afraid of a surprise attack. It's better to invite Han Yi to come to Tancheng together and distinguish between the enemy and me. It's just that in this way, the land of Xuzhou may be half separated from Han Yiping.

The three counties of Donghai, Langxie and Pengcheng have been dilapidated, and only Xiapi and Guangling are still intact. If it is divided equally, I am afraid that Xiapi and Guangling will fall into the hands of Han Yi. Cao Cao couldn't help but regret the massacres he had hauled in Pengcheng, Donghai, Langxie and other places some time ago.

However, in troubled times, whether it is royal or domineering, there are advantages and disadvantages. The people of the royal road are more respectful, and the soldiers are more willing to serve, but the effect is too slow. If it weren't for Han Yi's early start, and his wealth and grain comparable to Runan County in a state as his foundation, how could he have a vast land.

The overlord kills decisively, the people are afraid, and the soldiers are brave and killed, and the effect is extremely fast. For example, in Xuzhou, after several months of slaughter last year, most of the people of Xuzhou were afraid of Cao Cao. As long as Tao Qian is defeated, Xuzhou will be at your fingertips.

However, if it was Han Yi to conquer Xuzhou, Tao Qian's roots in Xuzhou were deep-rooted, with abundant grain and money, and many soldiers and horses. Without three or five years, it will definitely not be possible to defeat the land of Xuzhou. Therefore, Cao Cao will never regret choosing a domineering trip.

Cao Cao led 30,000 troops to Yishui to meet Han Yi's army, and Xi Zhicai saw Han Yi's army crossing the river one after another, and couldn't help but say: "Our army will attack with half of the army at this time, and we will definitely be able to break the Han army." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and Fang said: "Mingyuan has not yet crossed the river, if we can't kill Mingyuan in a battle, so that its forces are leaderless, our army still has to act rashly." ”

I saw that Tai Shici, He Yi, and Zhu Jian, who had just crossed the river, immediately wiped the water traces on their bodies, and quickly lined up on the spot to be on guard. Cao Cao looked at the fifteen-thousand-strong army, which had been gathered in an instant, and looked at the army vigilantly, and was taken aback.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other silently, and Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh softly: "I have seen the elite soldiers under the command of the Liao general Ran Minggong, and if there are tens of thousands of people, it will take at least two minutes to gather. Is the elite level of the army under Han Mingyuan's command better than that of Ming Gong? ”

Xi Zhicai watched for a while before he said: "No, after the battle of Xuzhou, the elite of the army under the lord's command is no longer inferior to the Korean army. It's just that this Korean army seems to know a way to quickly form a formation......"

Cao Cao sighed: "There are tens of thousands of troops, and they need to fight in array. Whether it is a surprise attack or a sudden encounter between two armies, those who can quickly form a formation will take the lead in the battlefield. Moreover, after being broken through by the enemy, as long as the leader of his subordinates does not die, he can immediately re-form a formation and fight with the enemy again. If the Han soldiers are all like this, our army wants to defeat them, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult. ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "Fighting with the Korean army, you can't fight, and you can't fight, and you can't fight." First of all, we need to hit their morale and fighting spirit, so that they will have no intention of forming a battle after they are scattered. Then choose the elite who can fight for a long time, and have those who can break the formation of the South Korean army more than ten times in a row, and they can still fight. In the end, after breaking through their army, they will be entangled in chaos, so that they will not be told to retreat and re-form a formation. ”

Cao Cao praised Xi Zhicai's vicious eyes, and thought of a way to crack the Han army at a glance. Although the Han army is elite, the personal skills and murderous intent of the soldiers are definitely far inferior to Cao Jun. At present, the method of chaos and chaos should be the most useful method.

It's just that when Cao Cao saw that Han Yi's ten 50,000 troops could quickly form a formation, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. As soon as he slapped the war horse, he stepped forward and shouted, "Where is Mingyuan?" I've been waiting here for a long time. ”

Han Yi stepped out and asked, "Han Yi is here." Mengde, don't come unharmed. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "If you are worried about Lao Mingyuan, I am still fine." At this time, I was not very happy to see that the great revenge was avenged. ”

Han Yi shouted: "Meng De is happy, but the people of Xuzhou are sad. Parents, wives and children all died at the hands of Meng De, but they will have to survive under Meng De's rule in the future, which is really the greatest sorrow in life. ”

Cao Cao was stunned and asked, "Mingyuan, this is ......?"

Han Yi shouted: "Yi once invited Meng De and swore to discuss Dong Zhuo and support the Han family. However, Meng De and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu attacked me, and that's it. In the troubled times, everyone has their own aspirations, and I can't force Meng Dezhi to be as he first thought. However, in order to seize Xuzhou, Meng De did not even scruple about the morality of being a basic man. The banner is to avenge his father, but what he actually does is to kill the unarmed people. ”

"Your father died in Xuzhou for some reason, but what does it have to do with the two million people in Xuzhou? Is it just that Tao Gongzu is the shepherd of Xuzhou? If you have an enmity with the Han Emperor, then don't you want to slaughter the Han people in the world? I brought the army here, but I saw that Xuzhou was full of white bones, exposing the wilderness; Thousands of miles away, almost uninhabited. The people are not spared, which makes people cry and break their liver and intestines. ”

However, Meng De sat on top of nearly a million corpses, raising his knife and laughing wildly at his father's revenge. Even if the beast preys on the living, it is just to wrap its belly. Why did you Cao Cao kill the people? Isn't it even worse than a beast? I, Han Yi, was blind at the beginning, and I swore with you that it was really the biggest mistake in my life. Today, I, Han Yi, are here to cut off my robe and break off my righteousness, and I will no longer talk about friendship. ”

Cao Cao was horrified when he heard this, turned around and fled. I didn't want Han Yi to suddenly fall ill in front of the battle, and he would turn against himself for Tao Qian, who was about to be defeated. Although the people of Xuzhou are pitiful, but the country is overturned, the heroes are competing for hegemony, and the world is hungry everywhere, are they not equally pitiful?

If you can quickly dominate the world, let the country rule; A short period of killing is better than a long period of war. When Cao Cao thought about this, he never regretted it.

But when he saw Han Yi take his sword and cut off his robe, he shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, and today our army swears to kill the thief Cao Cao." If Cao Cao is not killed, our army will not withdraw troops. ”

After that, the entire Korean army pressed down, and Cao Cao hurriedly returned to command the armies to resist. However, after Cao Jun listened to Han Yi's angry rebuke, he knew that he was succumbing to Cao Cao. The slaughter of the people for half a year in a row made it unbearable for anyone with a conscience. If you are not in the army, you will have harsh military law to deter you. The soldiers could only follow the general trend and did not dare to be different.

However, at this time, there was external pressure coming head-on, and the tyranny in his heart was suppressed by benevolence and righteousness, and his heart was suddenly empty. The 30,000 Cao soldiers had no fighting spirit, and as soon as they were defeated, Cao Cao and the generals could not hold back their momentum and retreated all the way to Tancheng.

Han Yi also asked people to raise a white flag on the side of the road, and only killed Cao Cao in the book, and the rest were exonerated from the crime, and made people shout to surrender. Not long after, one after another Cao army abandoned the defeated brigade and surrendered. The Han army pursued at the end of the rank, and broke the Cao army at the Baima River west of Tancheng, and there were countless descendants.

Cao Cao, only under the escort of Xi Zhicai, Cao Hong, Dian Wei, Lü Qian and other generals, led more than 1,000 remnants of the army to cross the White Horse River and fled into the Cao camp outside Tancheng. Without waiting for the Han army to cross the river, Cao Cao ordered the camp to retreat north.

Tao Qian saw Cao's army retreating north at the head of the city, and saw a large number of troops coming from the Baima River in the southwest corner of the distance, and knew that Han Yi must be coming. Busy ordered Cao Bao and Lu You to lead 30,000 troops to support, and led thousands of Danyang soldiers to defend the city.

After Han Yi rendezvoused with Cao Bao and Lu You, the two armies marched north, Cao Cao fought and retreated, retreated for hundreds of miles, and finally stopped the defeat at Langxieqiu, but at this time Cao's army was less than 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Han Yi and Cao Bao Lu You pursued for a hundred miles, and the troops were tired, so they led the troops to retreat temporarily. Cao Cao was uneasy and wanted to cross the Yishui overnight and escape into Taishan County. However, there were two generals who heard the news, Lang Evil Zangba and Sun Guan, who led the troops to intercept them in the west of Yishui. Cao Cao was furious, led his troops to cross the Yishui River, and defeated Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

In Mount Tai Philadelphia, Han Yi met with the generals of Xuzhou, and Cao Bao, Lu You, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other troops came again, Cao Cao calmly responded to the enemy, with fewer enemies and more, retreating step by step. However, when he was in Nanwuyang, he was shocked to learn that Yanzhou had been attacked by Lu Bu. Only the three cities of Zhencheng, Dong'e and Fanxian remained unbroken. Cao Cao killed several messengers in a row before concealing the news.
