Luoyang City, the lobby of Sikong Mansion, the atmosphere is solemn, it has been more than an hour since receiving the news of the civil uprising, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have been sent out to quell the chaos, and the scouts have also quickly gone to all parties to inquire about the news, and are now waiting for the results.

In fact, this civil unrest was too sudden, and now Cao Cao and a group of staff members are still difficult to figure out the reason, and they can only guess that Zhang Liao's old department is responsible.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and sat on the brocade couch, and when he saw that he was nervous, he suddenly laughed.

The people who were nervous saw Cao Cao suddenly laughing, and couldn't help but look at each other, Dong Zhao, who had just joined Cao Cao, got up and asked, "I don't know why Ming Gong laughed?" ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said: "In the first year of Zhongping, Zhang Jiao made a rebellion, and I discussed with Huangfu Song, but I saw that millions of yellow turban thieves were like swarming locusts gathering, and the disaster spread all over the prefectures and counties of the world, but it was only a matter of one year, even if there was civil unrest in Luoyang today, it was only more than 100,000, and I had Xiahou brothers, Cao Zixiao, Yu Wenze, Le Wenqian, Shi Gongliu, all brave and good generals, why be afraid, don't worry!" ”

Everyone couldn't help nodding, but Cheng Yu frowned and said: "This civil unrest must be bewitched by Zhang Liao's old department, Ming Gong should not be neglected, don't forget the lessons of the prince's division." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Li Dao, Guo Yan made a rebellion, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus the people of Liangzhou are fierce, there is a rebellion in Chang'an, now Zhang Liao's old department is mostly in Sifang Prefecture County, how can there be 100,000 soldiers and horses, I am not a prince's division, if Zhang Liao is here, I should avoid it, Zhang Liao is dead, the group has no leader, even if his old department is in turmoil, the generals are enough to calm it." ”

Cheng Yu muttered: "It's better to be cautious, Jia Xu is in Hedong, not to be underestimated, Han Hao is nowhere to be seen, Zhang Liao's old department is also different from Dong Zhuo's old department, and now the people are in turmoil in Beijing, and the eight passes cannot be guarded, and it is imperative to guard Pishan in the north, Luoshui in the south, Zhang Fanggou in the west, and Dongyang Canal in the east......"

Luoyang City is different from Chang'an City, only the Imperial City, there is no outer city, outside the Imperial City is the houses that spread in all directions, but there are still barriers to defend on all sides, that is, Beibi Mountain, West Zhangfanggou, Dongyang Canal and Nanluoshui are barriers.

After listening to Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao was about to speak, but saw Cao Hong coming in a hurry outside.

Cao Cao looked anxious when he saw him, and he hurriedly asked, "Zilian, how is the battle?" ”

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "Ming Gong, the thieves are fierce, the war is unfavorable, there are Han Hao, Gao Shun, Xu Rong as generals, and there are more than 10,000 armored soldiers, Zhang Fanggou is in a critical situation......"

Cao Cao's color changed in horror, and he immediately got up: "All the gentlemen follow me to Guangyang Gate to check the enemy's situation." ”

Guangyang Gate is in the southwest corner of the Imperial City, and when Cao Cao and his staff boarded the Guangyang Gate, Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Yang Biao and others also went to Guangyang Gate.

On the gatehouse, the sound of war drums can already be heard, and the smoke and dust in the west are approaching, Cao Cao squinted his eyes, his face was solemn, and Liu Bei also looked solemn.

The two of them took advantage of Dong Cheng and the Son of Heaven to plot against Zhang Liao, took advantage of the situation, and seized power, but now they are going to face Zhang Liao's old ministry for revenge.

If Zhang Liao is still there, they can still talk to Zhang Liao about friendship and deal with each other. But now that Zhang Liao is dead, those old subordinates and the people who made rebellion think that they have harmed Zhang Liao, and use the slogan of killing them as a slogan, how can they talk about any friendship with them.

The two of them paid tribute to Zhang Liao, and they had the intention of cleaning up people's hearts, but before these means could play a role, the chaos had already occurred with lightning speed.

Cao Cao's thick eyebrows tightened, and he turned his head to ask Liu Bei: "Xuande, your younger brother Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide both have the courage of ten thousand people, where can they quell the chaos?" ”

Liu Bei replied: "There is a hundred miles of land in the south of the city, and the people are in great turmoil, and my brother has gone to the south of the city." ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "Otherwise, although there are many chaotic people in the south of the city, there is nothing to worry about, but the only ones who can worry are the west of the city and the north of the city, Gao Shun from the east of the river, and Xu Rong from the Guanzhong, all from the west, it is a big disaster, but Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide can be quickly transferred to the west of the city to be the enemy." ”

"This ......" Liu Bei couldn't help but groan.

Cao Cao's thick eyebrows were raised, and the halberd pointed to the northwest: "They are so angry with the two of us, if they break through the imperial city and I die, how can you be spared?" How can Your Majesty be spared? You can concentrate your forces, first break the old department of Zhangliao in the west of the city, and then the southeast will be easy to settle your ears. ”

Liu Bei saw Cao Cao's sharp posture of turning his face when he disagreed, and because Cao Cao was a general of chariots and horses, he nominally commanded his soldiers and horses, and even mentioned the safety of the Son of Heaven, so he could only say: "In this way, I will transfer my brother here." ”

With that, he hurried down the gatehouse.

At this time, Yang Biao on the side said: "Your Majesty has an edict, and the main thing to quell the chaos is to appease the people, and you must not wantonly slaughter the people." ”

Cao Cao snorted: "The thieves are in chaos, if you are tied, the defeat of the court is only within reach!" ”

Cheng Yu said: "There are many thieves, if it is postponed, the old department of Zhang Liao will gather more people, and the society will be worried about overturning, so it should be issued as soon as possible, and ordered Yuan Shao of Hebei, Lu Bu of Xuzhou, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou to attack the old department of Zhang Liao in various prefectures and counties, cut off the back road of the thieves, and use the Gongjing Division." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this: "This plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf is also!" ”

On the side, Liu Yu said: "Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang are all Zhang Liao's old alliance, how can they attack Zhang Liao's old department?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "If Zhang Liao is here, the alliance is there, they will naturally not move lightly, and now that Zhang Liao is dead, Cao Gong is the Son of Heaven to settle the world, but the edict is issued to pacify Zhang Liao's old department, how dare they disobey the order?" ”

Liu Yu was silent, and Cao Cao immediately ordered Dong Zhao to draft an edict to spread to the county of Zhuzhou to attract foreign aid.

……

West of Luoyang, Zhang Fanggou.

People roared, horses neighed, war drums shook the sky like thunder, and murderous spirits galloped like tigers.

To the west of Zhang Fanggou, there are people all over the place, all of them are young and strong, and the forerunners are all holding sharp blades, and they are all murderous, obviously all of them are disguised by people of a hundred battles.

In the meantime, a group of men and horses, about 3,000, all wearing iron helmets and heavy armor, holding swords and shields in front, spears in the back, the array is neat and awe-inspiring, 3,000 people charged, like a mountain forward, it is the trap camp led by Gao Shun!

After falling into the camp, there were 5,000 crossbowmen as cover.

Zhang Fanggou runs longitudinally from north to south, east and west are about one mile wide, in the middle of which a soil bridge is built horizontally with earth and stone, about five zhang wide, it is the main road of passage, one attack and one defend, it is on this earth bridge and fights fiercely.

Guarding the front line of Zhang Fanggou is Cao Cao's brave and good at fighting, and Cao Ren, a fierce general who is capable of both offense and defense, and Xiahou Yuan responds, but Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan at this time can't stop Gao Shun's trapping camp at all.

Gao Shun is the longest in training, and he has built the elite peerless in the trapped camp, Zhang Liao is not stingy with the most loyal generals of the whole, and gives the best equipment to the trapped camp, between the fighting, Cao Ren's soldiers can not pierce the heavy armor of the trapped camp soldiers at all, the spear cannot pierce, the arrow cannot penetrate, and the knife cannot penetrate, while the weapons of the trapped camp unceremoniously cut and kill Cao Bing, the two are contrasted, so that Cao Bing is desperate and demoralized.

What's more, there were 5,000 crossbowmen after the camp was trapped, and with the charge of the camp, waves of arrows rained down to cover the killing, causing Cao Bing to suffer extremely heavy losses.

Wherever the trapped camp passed, it was almost devastating and invincible.

Cao Ren roared angrily, but he couldn't stop the momentum of the trapped camp, so he could only retreat one after another.

In the pursuit battle, the trapped camp is powerless, but in this positional battle, the trapped camp created by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun is unparalleled in the world!

Almost without a pause, the Three Thousand Trap camp rushed across the earthen bridge, opened the passage, and entered the land east of Zhangfanggou.

Then there were nearly 10,000 iron horsemen, galloping from the west, like a dragon riding the wind and thunder, stepping across the earthen bridge, separating the left and right, rushing into the east of Zhangfanggou from the two wings of the trap camp, and charging Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan!

At the same time, the soldiers who were pretending to be ordinary people also shouted slogans and rushed across the earthen bridge, murderous.

Cao Cao always thought that as soon as Zhang Liao died, the soldiers under his command would be scattered like trees, and there was nothing to worry about, but he didn't know that Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses were by no means Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses. Zhang Liao is a strategy of elite soldiers, there are not many soldiers and horses, but the treatment is the best, and there are teachers in the army, coupled with the cultivation and education of grassroots generals in Jingyuan Wutang, Zhang Liao's prestige is extremely high in the army, and his status is unique.

Zhang Liao's control over the army under his command is absolute, and similarly, the soldiers under Zhang Liao's command also have absolute loyalty to Zhang Liao, and even a high degree of worship!

It is because Zhang Liao was killed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the Son of Heaven after the news spread in the army, the soldiers were angry, the camps were boiling, and they all swore to avenge Zhang Liao.

With strong combat effectiveness, sophisticated weapons and armor, and morale that is not afraid of death, how can Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan resist!
