As Lu Peng's military orders were conveyed everywhere, the entire Youzhou group moved when they heard the news, from the common people to the merchants to the army, all of them operated efficiently, and in the blink of an eye, they entered the wartime economy and system.

Compared with Lu Peng's rapid operation, Cao Cao's operation is slower, after all, hundreds of thousands of troops are still operating with his original rotten system, of course, some are inadequate. However, after receiving the military order, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Xiahou Yuan and other two armies acted resolutely, immediately abandoned everything, tried their best to catch up with Lu Peng, and realized Cao Cao's strategic plan to entangle him and have a decisive battle with him.

In this way, in order to ensure the troops of the people who moved to the mouth of the Shahe Valley, and in order to buy time for the army of soldiers who had gathered at Wulongkou in various places, Lü Peng decided to launch a blocking battle at Dengfengkou, which was not too dangerous, to block the troops of Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others here.

The terrain of Dengfengkou is not very suitable for setting up a blocking position, but looking at the plains around Luoyang, only this is a somewhat dangerous terrain.

"Set up a camp here, set up another camp on the opposite mountain, the two camps are horns for each other, it's a pity that this time I came in a hurry, I didn't bring our sharp weapon catapult, otherwise, Cao Cao's tens of thousands of horses, I directly gave him a sea of fire tactics, and it was solved at once." I came in a hurry indeed, this time I only brought a small number of longbow swords and bed crossbows, of course, there are some regrets in everything in this world, as the so-called unsatisfactory things are seven or eight times out of ten, you can follow your own wishes anywhere.

Pan Feng followed Lu Peng's footsteps and walked through several dangerous mountains nearby, and then admired Lu Peng's idea: "This time, the Cao army is one, and there are 70,000 real soldiers, which is three times that of ours, and the combat effectiveness of the Korean army is much higher than that of Yuan Shao at the beginning, and the 20,000 cavalry led by Cao Ren are all from Danyang, they are not afraid of death, dare to fight and kill, and these gentle slopes can hardly stop the cavalry charge, which is a very headache." ”

Lu Peng smiled and said: "Since we are defending, everything can be handled easily, and it is very simple to guard against the enemy's cavalry charge, just dig a trench in front of our camp to resist the horses." ”

Pan Feng frowned: "That kind of work is quite large, and we don't have the help of the people at all, so it is very physically exhausting for the soldiers, and the enemy's army is very urgent——"

Lu Peng interrupted Pan Feng's complaint: "We don't want to dig a trench, but just dig a hole the size of a foot deep bowl, and when the war horses gallop, I will break their horses' legs." ”

Pan Feng's eyes lit up: "This method is very good, it should be done." ”

Lu Peng demanded: "Tell the brothers, starting from the halfway up the mountain, digging me all the way to our camp, I will use this hive-like trap to make Cao Rengan stare at me and have no choice." ”

Pan Feng cheered and complied.

Looking at Pan Feng, who had gone to arrange from afar, Lu Peng thought for a moment, and then said to the Jinyi guard who was following behind: "You now send a carrier pigeon to the fourth general, order him, immediately gather the men and horses and don't go to Wulongkou, and order him to collect his cavalry after rushing to us, let them hide on the periphery of the battlefield first, and wait for my next order." ”

The brocade guard in charge of liaison immediately complied.

Looking at the soldiers who had already begun to urgently build camps on the two hills, Lu Peng looked at the huge plain that stretched out into the distance at the foot of the mountain, "Xiahou Yuan, the Cao family brothers should come early." Such expectations are a true portrayal of Lu Peng's heart.

The Cao brothers plus Xiahou Yuan's Cao army have a total of 70,000 horse infantry troops, and they now have 25,000 soldiers in their hands, the two sides are facing each other, Lu Peng is confident that he can win the battle, if after he consumes their strength, his fourth brother Zhao Yun can take his 30,000 cavalry to give them a plough to sweep the caves, just before the arrival of Cao Cao's main army, annihilate the 70,000 enemies, that will relieve a lot of pressure on himself, now, it depends on how his Cao family brothers and Xiahou Yuan view this pursuit battle.

Zhao Yun rode on the war horse, bored looking left and right, and the 3,000 soldiers who followed behind him did not have the solemnity of military discipline in the past, but rode on the horse as if they were a group of people on a spring outing.

This disrupting the other party's spring sowing operation, at the beginning, was very nervous, all the soldiers were very excited, roaring into Cao Cao's territory, attacking their local regime, threatening their county and state capitals, so that the defenders everywhere had to shrink their main forces into their own towns and fortresses, and according to the convention, this is war, and of course the war will be captured.

In fact, the bureaucrats in various places are not unaware of the purpose of Lu Peng's dispatch of troops to their own jurisdictions this time, but what if they know? There are still two reasons why the arresters in various places cannot be reduced, one is that the enemy is menacing, and he really needs to do this. There is another one, that is, in the process of arresting the husband, officials from top to bottom can make a windfall. The opportunity to make a fortune is rare, how can you easily miss it? So a chicken, flying and dog jumping, in Cao Cao's rule formed, hundreds of people for it bankrupt, for this family ruined, the original anointed land, was abandoned, overgrown with weeds, a year's harvest is completely gone.

Zhao Yun is a person who sticks to his duties, especially after he stabbed a mess last time, his well-behaved character was completely revealed. The third brother asked him to do whatever he wanted, and he would never do anything out of line.

So every day he led his strongest cavalry troops, and did not attack any fortified cities, but only drove the people around him into those cities, and he himself was considered to have completed his task.

30,000 cavalry, divided into countless units, scattered to various places, the effect is quite obvious, such as the place where he is walking now, the land on both sides of the road is all overgrown with artemisia grass, there is no young and strong man to work in the field, occasionally see a group of women old and weak patrolling the field, but they are also powerless, farming is a hard work, without the main labor force can never be done.

Looking at the sad and desperate faces of the people, although Zhao Yun couldn't bear it in his heart, he didn't show anything, and still carried out his task in a middle distance.

In the midst of boredom, Jinyiwei, who was suddenly in charge of receiving carrier pigeons, ran over excitedly and handed over a letter to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun took it in his hand and read it, the original lazy and slack look was swept away, his waist was straight, and he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, cheer up, we have something to do." ”

Just this voice, immediately drove away all the soldiers' lazy expressions, in the blink of an eye one by one was high-spirited, and then followed his general Pegasus to the west galloping, along the way, there were constantly reported soldiers to inform other brothers, along the way, there were scattered all over the thousands of people in the rush to meet, just like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, booming to the west of the Zhao Yun cavalry, continue to grow and develop, and finally converge into a rushing torrent, to the west to the west, to join the grand battlefield that determines the pattern of the Central Plains.
