Gao Gan went to the place where the Qiang people lived, and at his instigation, thousands of Qiang warriors followed him into the Central Plains. 35xs

The scout reported that Cao Shuo was still refusing to guard the Huguan and did not dare to approach the Huguan, so Gao Gan could only choose other places to enter the customs.

Entering the Central Plains, Gao Gan made difficulties.

Huguan has been lost, and the entire state has betrayed him, and now he really has nowhere to go.

Just when Gao Gan was in trouble, a message came, pointing out the direction to Gao Gan who didn't know where to go.

Zhang Baiqi, the former Montenegrin thief, had already followed Zhang Yan to serve Cao Cao, but he was dissatisfied with the Cao family's settlement of the Montenegrin army.

Later, Zhang Yan followed Cao Pi to crusade against Youzhou, and experienced a conflict with Cao Shuo in Youzhou.

Zhang Yan joined Cao Shuo, but Zhang Baiqi stayed in Taihang with the few remaining soldiers and horses in his department.

Very dissatisfied with Zhang Yan's defection to the Cao family, Zhang Baiqi did not plan to go to serve Cao Shuo, but decided to attack Hedong and seize the Cao family's territory from behind.

After Zhang Bai rode up, Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others responded one after another. The Cao family's power in Hedong was impacted, but Du Yi recruited Xiang Yong to stop the rebels.

The chaos in Hedong gave Gao Gan an excellent opportunity.

After receiving the news, Gao Gan did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the army to Hedong.

Gao Gan's soldiers and horses went to the east of the river, and Cao Shuo got the news a few days later. Flash Dance.

He then ordered the army to leave Huguan and head south, heading to Hedong to aid Dugi.

After the capture of Hebei, the Cao family's army successively suppressed rebellions in various places, and the rebellion of Zhang Baiqi and others really brought a lot of trouble to Cao Cao.

Yecheng, the front hall of the Cao family.

Gathering his staff and generals, Cao Cao consulted with everyone about how to deal with it.

"Zhang Baiqi and others rebelled, killed the county guards, and plundered the people, causing a lot of panic in Hedong." Cao Cao asked the crowd, "I wonder what the princes think we should do to put down the rebellion?" ”

"The most troublesome thing is not Zhang Baiqi and others." Xun You said: "I heard that Gao Gan also led his soldiers and horses to Hedong, once he arrives, it will be more complicated on the Hedong side. ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Gongda is right, I'm also worried about Gao Gan." ”

"Don't worry about Cao Gong, I'll just go and fight." Xiahoudun stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Guan Bao has brought the head of the senior cadre to present to Cao Gong. ”

"General Xiahou, don't be impulsive." Xun You said: "It's not difficult to defeat Gao Gan, the difficult thing is to defeat him, and other places have to be stable." ”

What Xun You said was exactly what Cao Cao was worried about.

He frowned and asked Xun You, "What is Gongda's opinion?" ”

"Cao Gong actually didn't have to pay attention to it at all. 35xs" Xun You said: "At most, send a team of soldiers and horses to gallop to help Du Ji and help him stabilize the front, so that Zhang Baiqi, Gao Gan and others can no longer make any more achievements." ”

"Solidify?" Cao Cao asked, "Don't you have to exterminate them?" ”

"Their exterminators are already on their way." Xun You smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said to Cao Cao: "I got the news that the eldest son has left Huguan and is marching to the east of the river. ”

Xun You's news did not come from the Cao family scouts, and Cao Cao hadn't received the news that Cao Shuo had left Huguan at this time.

Looking at Xun You, Cao Cao asked, "Is this news true?" ”

"Absolutely." Xun You replied: "Gong Cao rest assured, even if the eldest son does not go to Hedong, with Zhang Baiqi, Gao Gan and others, what big things can be done?" ”

"Who does Gongda think is the best person to go to help?" Cao Cao asked.

"I'm willing to go." Xun You said: "I implore Gong Cao to allow General Xiahou to join me." ”

Looking at Xiahoudun, Cao Cao asked, "Is Yuan Rang willing to go?" ”

"As long as Cao Gong commands, there is no one I refuse to go." Xiahou replied.

"Gongda and Yuan Rang led 5,000 troops and went to the aid of Du Ji." Cao Cao said: "Wait for the arrival of Zirong's army and work with him to exterminate the thief army." ”

Xun You and Xiahoudun received the military order.

Leaving the front hall, Xiahoudun asked Xun You, "Where did Xun Gong know that the eldest prince has sent troops?" ”

Xun You smiled slightly, and said to Xiahoudun: "Does General Xiahou know about the Fire Dance? ”

"Isn't that the eldest son?" Xiahou asked in surprise, "Could it be that they will send news to Duke Xun?" ”

"If the eldest son asks them to send the news, of course they will." Xun You said: "The eldest prince wants us to lead the troops to rush to the aid of Du Ji and stabilize our position. After he arrived, he solved Gao Gan and Zhang Baiqi in one fell swoop. ”

"Since the news is from the eldest son, why didn't Xun Gong tell Cao Gong just now?" Xiahou asked puzzled.

"Gong Cao doesn't trust the eldest son very much, if I say it, he will let the two of us go to the aid of Du Ji now?" Xun You said: "I don't know what's wrong with Cao Gong recently, he always says to write things that shouldn't be said and do things that shouldn't be done. ”

Of course, Xiahoudun knew what Xun You was talking about.

He lowered his voice and asked, "I don't know who Xun Gong is inclined to in this matter?" ”

"Who does General Xiahou lean towards?" Xun You didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Of course I'm inclined to the eldest son." Xiahoudun replied: "We have all seen the ability of the eldest son, in the future, the Cao family will have him, why worry about the world?" ”

"General Xiahou won't say this kind of thing again in the future." Xun You lowered his voice and said to him: "The second prince also has a lot of power now, and he is close to you and me. ”

"Since Duke Xun knows this, why is he still secretly in contact with the eldest son?" Xiahoudun asked.

"I'm for the Cao family, and I'm also for the Cao Gong." Xun You said: "Although Cao Gong has done some wrong things recently, he is still a hero in the world after all, and he is also our lord. No matter what we do, of course, we have to think more about Cao Gong. ”

"Xun Gong is right." Xiahoudun nodded and asked, "When are we leaving?" ”

"Du Ji is dealing with many enemy forces alone, of course, the sooner the better." Xun You said: "It's best to leave Yecheng early tomorrow morning." ”

When Xun You and Xiahoudun left Yecheng, Cao Shuo was also leading the army in the direction of Hedong.

A few days later, he received a report from Huo Wu that Xun You and Xiahoudun led 5,000 troops to aid Du Ji, and they should have been about to join forces with Du Ji at this time.

After getting the news, Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao thinks that we have a chance of winning this time when we go to Hedong?" ”

"What are the chances of winning when Childe sends troops?" Guo Jia did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

Cao Shuo laughed: "I must have ten percent." ”

"Why are you asking me if you have a 100% chance of winning?" Guo Jia asked again.

"Asking Fengxiao is just a confirmation." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Since Feng Xiao has no objection, there is something I can do." ”

He instructed Zhu Ao on the side: "You take a team of men and horses to escort Fengxiao back to Shouchun." ”
