Cao Cao's movements had already reached Liu Shi's Chang'an Palace, and Liu Shi immediately led his troops to Xingyang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lu Su greeted him and said: "Cao Cao is fierce this time, it seems that he will not stop if he does not take Xingyang." ”

Liu Shidao: "What about evil? ”

Lu Su said: "General Dian is defending against the enemy in the Tiger Prison!" Cao's army has been attacking for ten days in a row, and our army has suffered a lot of losses! Fortunately, the terrain of Tiger Prison Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Liu Shi sneered and said, "How is Xingyang here?" ”

Lu Su said: "There is a river in the north of Xingyang and a chasm in the east, but it is not safe. ”

Liu Shi saw that Xingyang itself was safe, and said with a sigh of relief: "How is the placement of the army?" ”

Lu Su said: "Hanoi is defended by the river, and it is connected to Jizhou, Huang Zhong suggested that General Liu Hu should lead 30,000 troops to stay, and he should bring 20,000 troops to Xingyang to fight against Cao Cao with General Dian Wei. Now Xingyang has gathered 120,000 troops! ”

Liu Shi pondered for a moment and said: "Cao Cao originally had 300,000 troops on the front line of the river, 300,000 on the front line of Yingchuan, Runan, and Lujiang, 200,000 troops in Jingzhou, and 100,000 in Jiangdong. ”

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "Jingzhou faces an army of nearly 600,000 with 440,000, and its pressure is much greater than that of my Luoyang. Don't worry! Although the attack on the Xingyang side was insufficient, there was still more than enough to defend it. ”

Liu Shi said with a smile: "I still know Zi Jingzhicai, although there has been no big war in the past few years, the pressure faced every day is obviously not small, Cao Cao has always left the most elite troops near Chenliu and Xingyang to protect Xu Du." This is also because I do not seek to make achievements in Luoyang, but mainly to keep the benefits I have obtained, even if I attack, I will immediately retreat as soon as I harass. When the capital falls, will others be allowed to sleep? If we do too much here, Cao Cao will find me to fight for my life. How can I make a difference elsewhere? ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "However, you and Zilong have similar temperaments, and you are more than enough to defend, but the attack is slightly insufficient." After this battle, there will be a series of great battles, and we will no longer stick to one place and one city. We must take the initiative to attack and replace defense with offense. Therefore, I asked Pang Tong to come to assist you, Pang Junshi is highly intelligent, but he is more extreme, often uses dangerous strategies, and the defense is slightly insufficient, and the attack is more than enough. If you cooperate with each other, you will achieve something! ”

Lu Su arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your understanding!" ”

Liu Shi waved his hand and said: "You and I have been friends for decades, you don't need to be polite, I know your character, don't worry, I will not treat you lightly." Walk! Let's go to Tiger Prison to have a look! ”

When Dian Wei saw Liu Shi coming, he was shocked: "How did the king get here?" It's too dangerous here! ”

Liu Shidao: "You guys are fighting so lively here, not to mention that Cao Cao is here, why don't I come?" Open the city gate, line up to go out to see Cao Cao, don't let him think that I, Liu Shi, am afraid of him! ”

Dian Wei looked embarrassed!

Liu Shi smiled: "Do you believe in yourself, or don't you believe me?" ”

Lu Su said: "Open it!" The king has his own opinions! ”

After a while, the city gate was opened, the flags were unfurled, and a large army rushed out, Cao Cao laughed and said: "Liu Shi boy hid for a few days and was finally willing to come out to meet!" Walk! Let's go see each other too. "After that, the three armies surged and marched in formation.

Liu Shi glanced at it and sighed secretly: "I haven't seen this Cao Jun for a few years, it's different, and it's improved a lot!" ”

When Liu Shi saw Cao Cao coming out, he hit his horse to meet him, and arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister Cao Cheng is invited!" I haven't seen you for a few years, and I've put in a lot of effort! ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Although you have proclaimed yourself the Great Sima and the King of Chang'an, in the eyes of my Cao, you are still just the hussar general of my Han Dynasty." I haven't seen you for a few years, how does it feel to see my army? ”

Liu Shi smiled: "It's the same! Although your army has improved, in my eyes, it is still insufficient! If it's used as a ceremonial army, it's not small! Prime Minister Cao Cheng still needs to work harder, the most important thing is to first seek the hearts of the army and the people's will, and not to do the acts of bandits and bandits, so that the people's hearts will be turned back! ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and then he smiled: "It's useless to just talk about it, or strength is important, do you dare to fight it alone today!" My family's Huang Xu'er has heard the name of the general, and has always wanted to ask the general for advice, but he has no chance to meet, this opportunity is rare, I don't know if the general is willing to give advice? ”

Liu Shi said with a smile: "I have heard the brave name of the third son of the Prime Minister, and said that his strength can win the tiger, but unfortunately my family Ming'er is not here, otherwise I should ask for a benefit." Since the prime minister said, as an elder, you can't refuse, please let the horse come! It must be pointed, but the knife and gun have no eyes, and it will not be good to accidentally hurt Ling Gongzi, don't say that Shi Yichang bullies the young! ”

"Liu Shixiu has to boast about Haikou, you must have real skills, my son is here!" As soon as the words fell, a horse rushed out from the side, and a young man with a slightly yellow beard, carrying a halberd, came towards Liu Shi.

"Good! Heroes out of teenagers! Sure enough, he was born majestic, but he was slightly inferior in terms of etiquette! It seems that the prime minister has every opportunity, I have to help you discipline it, otherwise the name of the prime minister will not be beautiful! Liu Shi said with a smile.

Huang Xu'er's real name is Cao Zhangzi Ziwen, is the third son of Cao Cao, since he was a child, he has fought against the tiger, beat the tiger to death, he does not like to read since he was a child, when the teacher taught his poetry, Cao Zhang and humanity: "The eldest should follow the example of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, a general like Huo Quai, lead the army to gallop on the battlefield, expel Hu Lu, and make meritorious contributions, so he can be a doctor."

Cao Cao once asked him about his ambition, and Cao Zhang said: "I only want to wear strong armor, hold sharp weapons, not be afraid of danger, take the lead, merit will be rewarded, and guilt will be punished!" ”

At this time, Cao Zhang saw that Liu Shi looked down on him, he was furious in his heart, and he didn't say anything, urging Ma to fight, Dian Wei hurriedly said: "How can the noble status of the king fight with this child?" Regardless of the danger! ”

Huang Zhong also wanted to fight, Liu Shi said: "It's okay! After saying that, he slapped his horse and walked up.

The guns and halberds intersected, and each took a step back, Cao Zhang was overjoyed, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Liu Shi! Sure enough, it's worth it, come again! With that, he turned his horse around and rushed over again.

Liu Shi was secretly shocked in his heart, this son is really good, although Ming'er is not bad, compared to this, it is a little worse. I'll try again. After speaking, they also rushed up, and the two of them each shouted: "Kill!" ”

Coming and going, the two fought more and more slowly, but every blow was shocking, Cao Cao was also worried, and said to Xu Chu: "I heard that the big gun used by Liu Shi is the overlord gun, and its marksmanship is also the overlord marksmanship of the Xiang family, it seems that his courage is really not to be underestimated!" ”

Xu Chu said with a solemn expression: "The third prince has met an opponent this time!" This Liu Shi is really brave, the last time Chu fought with him, it seems that he didn't use all his strength. ”

Cao Cao was shocked: "Isn't that Zhang'er in danger?" ”

Xu Chu said: "Not yet, but after a hundred moves, it will be difficult to say!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said: "Liu Shi has the courage of Lu Bu, I really can't leave him!" After speaking, he secretly asked the new general Runan to be selected, and Li Cai prepared.

This Li is only thirty years old, hunter background, good at archery since childhood, extraordinary strength, is the outstanding person in the military competition, because of his archery superman, Cao Cao left by his side, formed a magic hand battalion, the number is not much, only five hundred, was appointed by Cao Cao as the captain of the shooting battalion, in order to ensure the speed of the shooting battalion, Cao Cao also transferred five hundred good horses from the cavalry battalion to equip them. It can be seen that Cao Cao relied on them.
