Ye Zhao's grain in Luoyang, is Cao Cao and Xun You, Cheng Yu, Zhong Xuan, Chen Qun and others speculated, now according to Cao Cao's scout report, Ye Zhao's troops are mainly concentrated in the Tiger Prison, Yique, Xuanyuan three passes, as for the revolving gate pass and Mengjin the same, the terrain is dangerous, but because of the narrow terrain, it is not suitable for the troops.

And to ensure that these three grain and grass run usually, Luoyang is undoubtedly the best choice, and now Ye Zhao has the five passes in the southeast of Luoyang, these checkpoints are not broken, Luoyang is as stable as Mount Tai, there is no need to worry about the danger of being copied from the back road, so Luoyang is a place where it is very likely to store grain.

It's actually right to think so, but although Ye Zhao has used countless strange things in his life, looking at his past life battles, how can he ever make a dangerous move? Luoyang is the most suitable, yes, but it is by no means the safest.

The walls have been torn down and rebuilt, and it can be said that there is almost no defense, and if someone sneaks up, it will definitely be a dozen.

Although the five levels are in hand, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have an accident, but on the battlefield, there is no absolute thing, so Xiahou Yuan was dumbfounded, but his reaction was very fast, since Luoyang is not a place to store grain, then the significance of this surprise attack success is not great, it is impossible for him to find an accurate place to store grain before Ye Zhao's army stationed nearby reacts.

After being stunned, Xiahou Yuan made the fastest response, quickly returned to Mengjin, prepared to defend Mengjin, and at the same time sent troops to attack Ye Zhao's grain transportation team, if he could judge Ye Zhao's grain storage place, it would be the best.

Tiger Prison Pass, Shuai Mansion.

"Xiahou Yuan!" Ye Zhao placed a chess piece in Meng Jin's position, shook his head and smiled: "It's just a little bit, and it was overturned by Brother Meng De!" ”

Guo Jia and Li Ru also breathed a sigh of relief after getting the news, fortunately, Cao Cao and his advisers all speculated on Ye Zhao's grain according to habitual thinking, and Ye Zhao's best thing is reverse thinking, although Luoyang is the most suitable, but it is not the safest, Ye Zhao chose the safest between the most suitable and the safest, and now it seems that it is not groundless.

"Lord, this Xiahou Yuan continues to attack my grain road, and Mengjin is broken, the Cao army will continue to fight from Mengjin, if we can't recapture Mengjin as soon as possible, then it will be meaningless for our army to occupy Tiger Prison, Yique and other Xiongguan!" Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and bowed.

"I always feel that I can count it!" Guo Jia suddenly spoke, looked at Ye Zhao and said: "Dare to ask the lord, don't take back that Mengjin first, of course, in order to avoid the situation from developing too seriously, you can send a general to coerce Mengjin and compress Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses so that he cannot attack our army's food route." ”

"I don't know what kind of plan Bong-hyo has?" Ye Zhao looked at Guo Jia and smiled.

"For the time being, I can't say for sure, but I just ask the lord to give me the right to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Hedong." Guo Jia bowed.

"Could it be that Fengxiao is going to send troops to Hanoi and cut off his way back?" Li Ru frowned.

Although this plan is good, Guo Jia can think of it, how could Cao Cao not think of it?

When Ye Zhao heard this, he looked at Guo Jia silently, he probably knew what Guo Jia was going to do, but at this moment, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

"Lord, this battle is about whether the lord can pacify the north!" Guo Jia bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "As for the sins in this, Jia...... One person bears it, please ask the lord's grace to approve it. ”

"Fengxiao, we don't have to be in such a hurry!" Ye Zhao closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"The world has been in turmoil for 20 years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the people are determined that this war may have a temporary pain, but looking at the overall situation, it can calm down the troubled times and disputes as soon as possible." Guo Jia saluted Ye Zhao and said solemnly.

When Li Ru heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes lit up and said, "Wonderful! ”

After Ye Zhao was silent for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Meng De is not so easy to deceive. ”

"Then it depends on the ability of the lord!" Guo Jia smiled.

Ye Zhao nodded silently, handed a talisman to Guo Jia, and did not speak.

Guo Jia solemnly turned the order and bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "The minister retires!" ”

"Order Zhao Yun to lead the army to attack Mengjin." After Ye Zhao closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, he looked at the back of Guo Jia leaving and said, "Let it be sure to ensure that our army's food supply is worry-free!" ”

A personal soldier came in, took the arrow in Ye Zhao's hand and rushed out quickly.

"Ordered Yique Pass to leave a thousand soldiers, guarded by Guan Ping, Guan Yu led the rest of the soldiers and horses, carried Yanmen on his back, and went out from Dai County, within two months, to take Youzhou."

"Order Xu Rongtun to soldiers at Tianjing Pass, waiting for the opportunity to occupy Hanoi and Jizhou!"

"Order Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Ji Ling to gather troops and horses to prepare to attack Xingyang, Guo Huai and Hao Zhao will lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the tiger prison!"

As military orders were issued from the Marshal's Mansion, a large number of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were mobilized in the area of Si Li.

Early the next morning, Ye Zhao, who had not been out of the camp for several months, suddenly went against the norm and led the army to the expedition with absolute strength, approaching Xingyang.

"Ye Zhao sent troops!?" In Xingyang City, because of the danger barrier, Cao Cao has not yet received the exact news of Xiahou Yuan.

"Not bad!" Xun You hurriedly ran back and bowed.

"It looks like you've got it!" Cheng Yu said overjoyed.

If it weren't for that, there would be no way to explain why Ye Zhao changed his normal state and suddenly sent troops, and looking at the posture, this time, Ye Zhao directly brought out an army of 30,000, and now in the Tiger Prison, I'm afraid there are not many soldiers and horses.

"Lord, at this moment, Ye Zhao's army is afraid that there is no food, at this time, we just need to refuse to defend the city, if we send troops, we will be in Ye Zhao's arms!" Zhong Xuan bowed and said.

"Why do I always feel that this is not so simple?" Cao Cao frowned, it sounded, everything seemed reasonable, Xiahou Yuan burned Ye Zhao's grain and grass, Ye Zhao was out of grain, he wanted to fight quickly, and even wanted to snatch Xingyang's grain, but compared to Xingyang, Ao Cang, as the largest granary near Luoyang, shouldn't it be more targeted? At this time, when he came to attack Xingyang, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he wanted to cut off his way back.

Cao Cao always felt that this thing was a little weird.

"Lord, the matter has come to this, no matter what conspiracy Ye Zhao has, we should refuse to defend the city!" Cheng Yu bowed down and said: "After General Zidan hears the news, he will definitely come to the rescue, but now that Ye Zhao has not yet closed the siege, send someone to inform Zidan, don't take care of Xingyang, you can directly attack the Tiger Prison Pass!" Cheng Yu bowed and said.

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, attacking the enemy will be saved, at this time, it should indeed be like this, even if he can't break through the Tiger Prison Pass, he can also cut off Ye Zhao's grain channel.

At that moment, he sent someone to inform Cao Zhen, and Cao Cao led Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals to the city to prepare to meet Ye Zhao.

Outside Xingyang City, Ye Zhao was not in a hurry to start attacking, this time, he was preparing to break through Xingyang, so he brought a lot of large siege equipment, which was being assembled outside the city at the moment.

Seeing this, Cao Cao naturally couldn't let Ye Zhao succeed, the benefits of the siege equipment in Guanzhong, Cao Cao had already heard of it, Xiahoudun led the cavalry out of the city several times, Ye Zhao ordered Ma Chao to lead the cavalry to fight, and the two sides fought more than a dozen battles under Xingyang City, but they were more defeated and less victorious.

Ye Zhao's cavalry, mostly recruited from the Western Liangqiang people, not only superb horsemanship, but also equipped with a saddle, stirrups, in the battle, resistance is much stronger than Cao Jun, Rao is Xiahou is strong, are almost swept off the horse by Ma Chao, seeing the heavy losses of the cavalry, can only lead the army back to Xingyang, outside Xingyang City, but see the corpses all over the field, miserable.

Ma Chao chased the rout all the way to the city of Xingyang, Cao Jun closed the door and bent the bow, waiting for the battle, a burst of random arrows came, Ma Chao saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he led the army back.

"Lord, the last general is incompetent!" Xiahoudun came to Cao Cao's side with a disgraced face, his head was almost buried in the armor, he Xiahoudun, not only Cao Cao's fierce general, but also the general of the army, in the past, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's fierce general Wen Chou, Liu Bei's fierce general Zhang Fei, if you talk about the battle of the army, you may not be his opponent, but today in the city, facing a hairy boy Ma Chao was beaten and fled, this kind of defeat is absolutely a shame for Xiahoudun.

"The thieves are fierce, not a crime of war!" Cao Cao shook his head, he had seen the previous battle formation, Xiahoudun played well, the blame can only be blamed on the opponent is too strong, the elite of the generals in Guanzhong, I have already understood it before, this time, although Xiahou's defeat is a little ugly, but Cao Cao can still stand it.

"Why are the Guanzhong cavalry so strong?" Zhong Xuan on the side frowned.

If the ordinary army was defeated against Ye Zhao, then he had nothing to say, but the cavalry was the elite of the elite among the Cao army, not only were the people who were good at riding and archery in the north, but the training was almost the same as Ye Zhao's, and Xiahoudun commanded the army for many years, regardless of experience or tactics, among the cavalry generals, as long as he did not encounter a change like Lu Bu, he was definitely first-class, and the other party's general, just a young man, how could he defeat Xiahoudun so easily.

In the middle of Cao's army, a scribe suddenly said, "Have you ever noticed the difference between the cavalry in that pass and our army?" ”

"Different?" Cao Cao was slightly stunned, but he didn't notice it, and looked at the scribe suspiciously: "Ziyang can see the mystery?" ”

"Mysterious, blocking the opponent's horse harness, the lord can find that the opponent's war horse has strange things on both sides!" The scribe bowed.

When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and looked at it for a moment, then nodded and said, "What Ziyang said is good. ”

"What if our soldiers were equipped with something like that?" Ziyang said with a smile.

Cao Cao glanced at the other party with complicated eyes, Zi Yang is the word of this person, his name is Liu Ye, he is a relative of the Han family, and it is precisely because of this that although he was recruited by Cao Cao, he has not been reused, Cao Cao obviously does not want such a figure to appear in the imperial party, but at this time, he can't care so much, and immediately ordered someone to try to let the remaining cavalry take the bilateral stirrup.

The stirrup actually had a prototype in the Han Dynasty, but it was not fought on a horse, but it was used to facilitate the horse, which can also be called a unilateral stirrup, but at this time it is not called this, just a triangular bracket, or iron or wood, so it is not difficult to make it, just put two pairs of horse harness in one, and soon, a new cavalry appeared.

This time, Xiahoudun took the initiative to ask for battle again, he could clearly feel the benefits of this thing, he wanted to be ashamed, but at this time, Ye Zhao's siege equipment had been assembled and began to exert his might!
