"Childe is like a god!" Han Hao handed the information in his hand to Xiang Ping and continued: "Cao Jun really didn't come to Luoyang. After Cao's army occupied Yanshi, they marched east towards Chenggao City. ”

"It's just that the lord probably didn't expect that the commander of the Cao army was Cao Cao himself!"

Xiang Ping was stunned when he heard this, Cao Cao himself? Then he sighed in his heart, it seems that history has not changed, and the battle of Guandu is inevitable. Xiang Ping originally thought that the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in Guandu should not happen again after his father appeared, but he didn't want to be dragged by history, Cao Cao still valued Guandu so much, and actually led the troops himself and sent troops to Guandu.

"Childe!" Tian Yu on the side had his eyes flashing, and he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Since Cao Cao's lone army has gone deep, General Zhang He has been ordered to cross the river and send troops to Gaocheng. Childe can completely flank things from east to west, wouldn't it be better to kill Cao Cao here? ”

Now all the princes, the biggest threat to Xiang Ao is Cao Cao, if Cao Cao can be killed here at this time, then there will definitely be a struggle for the throne between Cao Cao's heirs, isn't it the best opportunity to destroy Cao Cao's forces? Tian Yu thought so, and became more and more excited.

When Xiang Ping heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face gradually became excited. "Guorang really dares to think! Send scouts to find out Cao Cao's military situation! ”

"No!" After Xiang Ping gave the order, not only Tian Yu, but also Han Hao on the side became excited, killing Cao Cao, which was a great feat. After the lord ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, wouldn't we be able to kill Cao Cao to be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister?

Half a day later, Xiang Ping no longer had the excitement he had before.

"Childe, Cao Cao is really cautious. Such a rapid march to raid Henan was unexpectedly heavily guarded by Yanshi. ”

"Time is not waiting for me!" Xiang Ping sighed slightly. Sure enough, it was the hero who originally unified the three kingdoms, and it didn't seem to be easy to deal with. Cao Cao not only sent a large army, but also led the generals to make Xiang Ping temporarily unable to think about it. There are not only Cao Cao's personal guards and fierce generals Xu Zhu, but also Le Jin and Yu Ban.

Who are you? The people of Dian Wei, who are subordinates of the armed forces, even if they do not have the opportunity of Dian Wei, can practice the cultivation technique of Xiang Ao's recitation, and Xu Zhu will be able to rank up the list today. Dian Wei can fight with himself, but he is not sure that he will defeat Xu Zhu. Moreover, in historical records, Le Jin and Yu Ban are much stronger than Tian Yu and Han Hao, not only in martial arts, but also in the marching formation.

Although the historical record may be biased, or Tian Yu and Han Hao may not be at the right time, Xiang Ping is not willing to take risks.

This time the troops were sent to take Xiliang, not to deal with Cao Cao. Xiang Ping didn't want his impulsiveness to spoil his father's big business.

"But since Cao Cao has already fallen into Henan, don't give Cao Cao some color to see, wouldn't he look down on this son!" Xiang Ping put aside the regret in his heart, smiled lightly and continued: "Cao Cao has already advanced eastward, and he must have blocked the roads along the way. Wolf smoke ordered Zhang He, the soldiers went out of the tiger prison, cooperated with this son, and cut a layer of skin from Cao Cao's army. ”

"No!" Tian Yu and Han Hao are not people who are willing to admit defeat like this, after Xiang Ping gave the order, the two of them received the order and prepared to do a big job.

In Yanshi City, Cao Cao stationed 30,000 elites, and the army that marched east to Chenggao also numbered 20,000, which was more than double the army of Xiang Ping stationed in Luoyang. Xiang Ao sent only the Southern Army to Xiang Ping, although they were all elite, but in addition to the defense of Hanoi, there were only 30,000 or 40,000 that could be used. The purpose of the Southern Army was to occupy the counties of Sili, not just Luoyang.

There are 10,000 elites who have been sent west by Xiang Ping to raid Hongnong and go away, and they cannot return for the time being.

When the tiger prison was about to pass, Le Jin rode his horse to Cao Cao, hugged his fists at Cao Cao and said solemnly: "Lord, we are still too late." Just now, the scout came to report, and the flag of the Yan Country has been erected on the Tiger Prison! ”

"Huh?! When did Hanoi cross the river, and how could there be no military information? ”

"My lord, according to the surrounding people, I crossed the river yesterday night and raided Chenggao City. The defenders in Chenggao City were only the local family's own organization of the village brave, and they were defeated by the soldiers and horses of the Yan State, and they fell into the hands of the soldiers and horses of the Yan State in less than an hour. ”

"Who is the general who defends the city?"

"If there is no mistake, it is Hanoi Taishou, Jizhou person Zhang He!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly. Cao Cao collected the most comprehensive information on the land of Hebei. Zhang He's name has naturally been heard. Although Zhang He was not as dazzling as Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and others after he joined Xiang Ao, Cao Cao analyzed several battles led by Zhang He, and Zhang He was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

"Report!"

While Cao Cao was thinking about it, the scouts in the rear shouted loudly and rode their horses towards Cao Cao.

"Why are you so flustered!" The Tiger Prison Pass was taken by Zhang He, and Cao Cao was already displeased, seeing that the scout was so flustered, his tone was full of anger.

The slightly flustered scout didn't seem to notice the mood of his main general, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the Yanshi is here to report that tens of thousands of troops have appeared in Luoyang City, and they are raiding the Yanshi. ”

"Where did the army come from in Luoyang!" Cao Cao was furious, dismounted and kicked at the scout.

The scout, who was already a little panting, was kicked by Cao Cao and gasped even more, his face was a little frightened, and he handed the information to Cao Cao with trembling hands slightly, and said worriedly: "Huh... The lord is the soldiers and horses of the Yanguo State of Hebei. ”

"It's Yanguo again!" Cao Cao read the information, and after drinking, he angrily tore the information in his hand into countless pieces and spilled it all over the ground.

"Don't panic, lord!" Seeing this, Xun You hurriedly stepped forward to stabilize Cao Cao and said: "Didn't the lord already expect to send troops to Henan before, Xiang Ao will definitely not sit idly by, and will also send troops to Luoyang?" It's just that I didn't expect Xiang Ao to occupy Luoyang first. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he took a few puffs and tried to calm himself down.

"Besides, the purpose of the lord's troops this time is to occupy the ferry port on the south bank of Guandu, and he has no intention of taking Henan. As long as Chen Liubu's soldiers and horses can take Guandu and occupy Rongyang, the results have already been obtained. ”

"Hey..."Cao Cao, who had calmed down, sighed and said, "It's just that I didn't take the Tiger Prison Pass, and the defense needs of Rongyang City in the future will definitely consume a lot." ”

Seeing that Cao Cao had calmed down, Xun You glanced at the scout and motioned for the scout to leave quickly, so as not to be punished by the angry lord. The scout understood, hurriedly waved at Cao Opera, bowed to Xun You, apologized and left. Cao Cao glanced at the scout, then at Xun You, and didn't say much.

"It's naturally a good thing to be able to win the Tiger Prison. The Tiger Prison Pass is the world's strongest pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the icing on the cake for holding Rongyang City. Xun You took over and continued: "But the lord doesn't have to worry, the Tiger Prison Pass is ready to be closed at any time, but it is impossible for Yan Guo Xiang Ao to send troops from the Tiger Prison in a big way. Moreover, there are many rivers in the Rongyang area, although our army is not good at water warfare, but compared with the soldiers in Hebei, at least the soldiers under the command of the lord are not bad. ”

"Compared with the Tiger Prison Pass, perhaps in the Rongyang area, it is more suitable for our army to arrange the defense line."

Hearing this, Cao Cao relaxed a little and nodded.

"Now that the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom have entered Luoyang, Xiang Ao's dispatch this time is not just to take Xiliang. I'm afraid that he is also ambitious for Si Li. After persuading Cao Cao, Xun You said with a solemn face: "Hanoi Zhang He only crossed the river last night, and it will definitely be too late to send troops to the official crossing, and General Xiahoudun must have taken the official crossing at this time." ”

"The main thing now is to confirm the situation of Guandu, decide whether to give up the Yanshi, return the army to the Xuanyuan Pass, and block the road for Xiang Ao's army to go south."

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked at the Tiger Prison Pass that was close at hand, and then turned his head to look at the direction of Yanshi City, which was not in his field of vision, and after pondering for a moment, he ordered: "Order the three counties, retreat and capture Gongxian (dozens of miles east of Yanshi)." ”

"Is the lord planning to use the army as a nail and stick it in Henan?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yes! Tiger Prison Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Tiger Prison Pass is supported by Luoyang City, not only will it be difficult to counterattack Luoyang in the future, but it will also be a great pressure on the defense of Guandu. After Zhang He occupied the Tiger Pass, he did not send troops to strangle the king's army, that is, he planned to stick to the Tiger Pass and wait for reinforcements from the direction of Luoyang. ”

"Since this is the case, then the king will station the army in Yanshi and Gongxian, so that the soldiers and horses on Xiang Hu's prison will not be able to sleep and eat." Cao Cao said with a chuckle, his face fierce.

"The lord is wise!" Xun Yu bowed slightly, and also smiled faintly.

"All three armies are available, siege!"

Compared with Xiang Ao, Xiang Ping doesn't like fighting generals in front of the battle. In Xiang Ping's view, war is not a matter of one person, although Xiang Ping is confident that he will defeat Xu Zhu, who is defending the city.

"Knock knock!" The snare drum shook the sky, and the shouts of killing began.

"Kill!"

When Cao Cao planned to return to attack Gongxian, Xiang Ping marched all the way and launched a fierce attack on Yanshi.

"Childe, the defenders are 30,000 giant, Yanshi City, I'm afraid I can't take it." The grizzled Han Hao rode his horse to Xiang Ping's side and said with some concern.

Xiang Ping chuckled and said while watching the siege situation: "Who said that this son is going to capture Yanshi?" ”

"Huh? Don't take down the Yanshi? So what's the point of such a storm? ”

Han Hao was puzzled, since he didn't plan to capture Yanshi, that was to feign to attack Yanshi and lead back Cao Cao's army to the east into the Tiger Pass. Since it was a feint, why did he have to fight so hard, looking at the soldiers on the city wall who were fighting to the death regardless of their safety, Han Hao was a little unbearable.

"Let Cao Cao see this son's determination to take down the Yanshi!" Xiang Ping stared at the gate of Yanshi viciously, and said fiercely: "After Cao Cao learned that the Tiger Prison Pass was occupied, he would definitely not withdraw his troops and let Luoyang and the Tiger Prison connect the city. Since Cao Cao wants to nail in the eyes of this son, how can this son make Cao Cao feel better? ”

"Don't give Cao Cao a little color, when this son goes west to recover Si Li, Cao Cao is afraid that he will get in the way. If Cao Cao doesn't withdraw his army, then the Tiger Prison Pass will become a lonely army, if this son is not ruthless, how can Cao Cao be able to settle down? ”

"Don't talk nonsense to this son, Cao Cao's army rushed back to estimate two hours. Hurry up and put all the engineering equipment up, and cripple Yanshi City to this son! ”

Han Hao suddenly, clenched his fists and took his life, and hurried away.
