Speaking of Jingzhou Liu Biao, he became hesitant after encountering Lu Bu's head-on statistics. However, Sun Quan of Jiangdong was strong against public opinion, and planned to send troops to Xuzhou again to help Cao Cao contain Huo Yu from the side.

According to Sun Quan's idea, he prepared to raise 60,000 troops, with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin leading 20,000 troops as the vanguard, and he commanded the remaining 40,000 horses to follow.

As pioneers, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not disappoint Sun Quan, and the two of them made great progress along the way, connecting ten county seats. It's just that what Sun Quan never expected was that as soon as he walked on the front foot, the Shanyue people began to rebel on the back foot.

In order to stabilize the rear, a group of generals suggested that the overturned Zhou Yu be used to quell the rebellion, but Sun Quan refused. It was not easy to set Zhou Yu up, and he would not be at ease at this time to return his military power.

As a last resort, Sun Quan had no choice but to lead his troops back and ordered Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to stand by. The expedition ended like this, but Sun Quan set aside the taboo of the soldiers, and the two Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin who were left behind, as well as the 20,000 soldiers, were soon cut off by Tai Shici, who returned in a hurry.

Guandu, Huo Yu, who had just arrived, chose a higher position, stared at the Cao army's camp several miles away, and carefully observed the layout of the Cao army.

Before each big war, it has become Huo Yu's habit to personally observe the terrain. Attitude determines everything, details determine success or failure, and knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated.

Behind Huo Yu, Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun stood left and right, their eyes also focused on the Cao army camp, and Dian Wei, who was a little farther away, was arranging defenses. At this moment, the thoughts in the hearts of Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun are not the same as Huo Yu.

Xi Zhicai was observing the arrangement of Cao's army, which he used to infer about their strength and other combat-related problems. And the focus of Zhao Yun's attention was the closest camp gate of Cao Jun's camp to himself and others.

After all, now Huo Yu is too close to Cao Jun's camp, if he is discovered by Cao Jun and sends troops to encircle and suppress, there is still a certain danger factor.

"Zilong doesn't have to worry, even if the Cao army sends troops to encircle and suppress, what are we afraid of?" Huo Yu's words were quite domineering, Zhao Yun nodded and didn't say much, but his eyes never left the door of Cao Jun's camp.

"Lord, this camp may not have been established by Cao Cao, but this person is not an idle person." After a careful look, Xi Zhi came to his own conclusion.

Listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Huo Yu nodded, obviously Cao Cao had not yet arrived in Guandu, maybe this was his chance.

"I think that at the beginning, when the sour jujube alliance, Ben Hou and Brother Meng De worked together to understand, but now ....... world changes, it is really regrettable."

"Senior brother, in the past, he understood the same robe, but today he is indeed an opponent, so don't mind. Presumably, Cao Cao also hopes to be able to compete with his senior brother in an upright manner. Zhao Yun persuaded.

In fact, Huo Yu understands all these truths, but he just sighs with emotion!

"I've seen everything I need to see, let's go back to camp! Taking advantage of the fact that Cao Cao's army has not yet arrived, he may be able to do something. ”

After finishing speaking, Huo Yu turned around and walked towards the war horse, Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun looked at each other and smiled, and followed closely.

Back in the camp, Huo Yu summoned everyone under his command to discuss the military situation. First of all, after the observation was explained in detail by Xi Zhicai, and the sand table that had been completed was marked.

"According to the inference, there are only 30,000 soldiers in the Cao army's camp, and the strength is far inferior to our army. However, the morale is high, and the defense of Guandu is complete, and it may be difficult to break through for a while. ”

While Huo Yu and his subordinates were discussing the military situation, Cao Ren was also conducting military discussions in the big tent. In fact, Huo Yu's appearance Cao Ren had already discovered it, but he didn't dare to act rashly because of the disparity in strength.

In the end, the results of Cao Ren and the other military discussions were surprisingly consistent with Huo Yu, after all, this was a battle of life and death, and no one wanted to take the lead in opening the battle without enough certainty.

The two sides watched each other like this, and even when the scouts met, they barely fought. The two sides were at a tacit stalemate until two days later, when the news of Jingzhou and Jiangdong came, and Huo Yu decided to warm up.

In the sound of the horn of the assembly, Huo Yu personally led a group of generals and advisers to lead 30,000 troops out and set up a formation outside the Cao army camp, but what Huo Yu didn't expect was that Cao Ren actually showed no weakness and led the army to fight.

Fighter? Cao Ren is not a fool, he is still clear from a few catties and a few taels. Huo Yu on the other side didn't say anything, then Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others did not have a good stubble.

"Champion Hou, Ben will have recently practiced a formation, can you dare to give it a try?" Huo Yu didn't say anything, but it was Cao Ren who took the lead in provoking in front of the battle.

Without Huo Yu answering, Cao Ren rode his horse back to the battle, only to see Cao Jun's large array quickly transform. After a while, Cao Jun neatly turned into eight small formations, each of which was interlocking.

At this time, Cao Ren had already been guarded by the Chinese army in the middle. Huo Yu's mind was rapidly searching for relevant memories. Seeing that there was no movement in Youzhou, Cao Jun began to provoke.

"The back of the brave dares to break into battle! The back of the brave dares to break into battle! ”

"Lord, this formation is more ordinary!" Worried that Huo Yu would be stimulated, Xi Zhicai immediately reminded him.

"Hehe, Zhicai has no worries, I won't be fooled." In fact, Huo Yu already had a conclusion in his heart.

Hearing Huo Yu's words, Xi Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and after a careful observation, he said, "This is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. ”

"The Eight Gates: Rest, Life, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Shock, and Open. If you enter from the birth gate, the view gate, and open the door, it is auspicious; If you enter from the injured door, the shocked door, or the closed door, you will be injured; If you enter from Dumen and the Gate of Death, you will die. Although the eight gates are neatly arranged, they are only in the middle of the main general. If you enter from the Shangsheng Gate in the southeast corner and go out to the west gate, its array will be chaotic. ”

After listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis, everyone woke up, and then took a closer look, and looked at Xi Zhicai again in their hearts.

"Hahaha, the military advisor has already explained the way to break the formation, can Zilong dare to break into the formation?" Huo Yu laughed loudly, and then directly subconsciously pointed at Zhao Yun.

Looking at the murderous Eight Gate Essence Lock Array in front of him, Zhao Yun did not hesitate and went as promised. Compared with the sound of Cao Jun's war drums, the Youzhou Army often listened to the sound of horns.

After a low sound of horns, Zhao Yun led five hundred white horses from the Eight Gate Essence Lock Formation.

During the march, Zhao Yun raised the gentian bright silver spear and said: "Where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand!" The sky can be learned, the white horse is the proof, the sons and daughters will kill with me! ”

"Where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand! The sky can be learned, the white horse is the proof, kill! Kill! Kill! Five hundred white horses completely suppressed the Cao army in front of him from that kind of momentum.

Everyone in the world says that the Youzhou cavalry is invincible in the world, and it really deserves its reputation when I see it today!

The horse's hooves trampled all over the rivers and mountains, and the elite White Horse Yicong quickly adjusted the formation behind him with Zhao Yun as the arrow.

Sharp Arrow Formation, this is the best formation for cavalry to charge the formation, Bai Ma Yi has never been in vain, they sat down on the war horse with a burst of smoke and dust, whistling towards the Cao army.
