Cao Cao was overjoyed that Zhao Yun's cavalry had been transferred to the west, and although Zhao Yun still had 10,000 horses in the east, he had already achieved the vast majority of his goal. So Cao Cao decisively implemented his plan, and immediately ordered Cao Hong and Jia Xu as the commander-in-chief of the eastward march, and sent them 150,000 soldiers, led by seven generals, divided into seven routes, to attack the long border line of Yizhou.

This time Cao Cao can be regarded as a wreck, these 150,000 horses are a real army, there are no people, and they do not bring him to escort the people, only allocate them three days of grain and grass, and the rest requires them to be self-sufficient within Lu Peng's office.

Cao Hong and Jia Xu accepted the order, took 30,000 horses in the center, and the other six roads were divided into left and right, and without hesitation, they led seven troops and entered Lu Peng's Yizhou with great momentum.

And just when Cao Cao's army was violently killing Yizhou, there was inexplicable news that Lu Peng was going to retreat and cultivate, and Cao Cao was really confused after getting this news, but now Cao Cao seems that he has completely disrupted Lu Peng's deployment, and the victory of this decisive battle has beckoned to him.

With such a ridiculous action, Cao Cao was relieved, as long as Lu Peng's mind was distracted, his chances of victory would be greater.

As a result, Yang Xiu hurriedly ran over and suggested to Cao Cao: "General Cao Ren has transferred Zhao Yun to the west, he has completed his task, now please transfer General Cao Ren's cavalry back, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, and make a fist in case of accidents." ”

Yang Xiu came up with such a good idea last time, and was appreciated by Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's impression of him was still not good, at this time the whole plan had been launched, but Yang Xiu suddenly jumped out to change the plan, which was simply nonsense, so Cao Cao ignored Yang Xiu at all and left his suggestion behind.

Yang Xiu, who was rejected, stood outside Cao Cao's camp and couldn't help but sigh: "The lord is not far from failure by doing this, it seems that I need to prepare to run away." As a result, this guy decided to do so, but he didn't mean to hide it at all, so blatantly ordered his servants to straighten out their luggage.

Of course, this situation could not be concealed from Cao Cao's ears and eyes, Cao Cao was furious, and immediately sent someone to arrest Yang Xiu and killed him directly for the crime of disturbing the army's heart.

Yang Xiu, in the end, still did not escape his fate.

The change in the military situation immediately spread to the Youzhou Cabinet, and Tian Chou, who had mastered the Youzhou Cabinet, immediately took action, while ordering Cheng Xu, the assassin envoy to Yizhou, and garrisoning Lu Kuang to dispatch the guard with all his might, and on the other hand, asking Mr. Judge to personally go out to help Counselor Lu Kuang in military affairs.

The judge immediately received the order, rushed to Lu Kuang's station overnight, and began to drive his duties.

Since Lu Kuang joined Lu Peng's group, he held his breath and wanted to show his ability in front of his own family.

It's a pity that at the beginning, there were no fighters, and I could only supervise and train these garrison troops as much as possible every day.

The programming of Lu Peng's garrison is like this.

Based on the retired soldiers of the original regular field army, they all carried the rank of squad leader and centurion, but they did not have the strength of the soldiers to match their positions. Their soldiers are mainly the young and strong people of the local people, and they are replaced every three months, not to mention the combat effectiveness, just this constantly changing personnel makes these leaders a headache.

Because these temporary civilians were not formally trained by the Savage Valley, these leaders were equivalent to receiving a batch of recruits every three months, and then training them. As soon as the training was over, this group of people dispersed, and the next group came, still recruits, so they had to train again, and so on and forth was constantly monotonous and nervous. But in this kind of training, a large number of trained soldiers are reserved in the civilian sector.

Now the backbone team in the hands of Lu Kuang is the 5,000 people in his hands at the beginning, and later Xu Huang's 10,000 people "mixed" into his team, when he defected to Lu Peng, the Lu brothers had 15,000 men and horses in their hands.

According to the principle of Youzhou, these horses need to be dispersed immediately, and there must be no such thing as a general with a fixed soldier to lay a hidden danger for the future warlord.

However, at that time, in order to take care of the mood of the Lu brothers, Lu Peng divided this force into two after enriching a group of generals and colonels of the Lu family's army, 8,000 were handed over to Lü Kuang to become the garrison of Yizhou, and 8,000 people were handed over to Lü Xiang as the garrison of Bingzhou. Anyway, there is no need for them to really go to the battlefield, just do the work of local security and banditry, and then slowly retreat these military personnel to the local area in accordance with the rules of military discharge, hoping that within three years, the army controlled by the Lu brothers will be completely replaced.

The result was a crooked fight, and this time their army became the main force. But to master this point of troops, to face Cao Cao's 150,000 menacing army, Lu Kuang felt Alexander.

Lu Kuang was overjoyed when he saw Mr. Judge coming, and he felt powerless when he received the order from the lord. People still have self-knowledge, their own ability and the combat effectiveness of the 8,000 troops they have mastered can never be compared with their main forces, and the temporary garrisons in various towns can only be regarded as hired people, but they are just exchanging the hired wages for a temporary military salary, and if they really face the Cao army that is killing violently, they definitely have no ability to fight. Especially Jin Yiwei reported that this time the leader came to Jia Xu, a world-recognized poisoner, and Lu Kuang was even more bottomless in terms of strategy.

Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Judge arrived, which somewhat gave Lu Kuang some confidence in his heart.

As soon as the trial arrived, he immediately discussed with Lu Kuang the strategy of dealing with the enemy. The assassin Cheng Xu was also invited to participate.

When Cheng Xu was under Gongsun Zhan, he was the duty of a strategist, but now he has been appointed by Lu Peng as a real assassin of Yizhou, which has already made him emaciated in government affairs, so he is also unfamiliar in military affairs. The most important thing is that Lu Peng implements a strict separation of military and political affairs, and Cheng Xu also abides by his duties, so this time he came to participate in the meeting as a bystander.

"Sir and the general only need to command the battle, please don't worry about everything else, I will do my best to cooperate and help." This was Cheng Xu's guarantee, and then he sat on the side and said nothing.

The judge knew Cheng Xu's intention to avoid suspicion, and he no longer demanded anything, so he and Lu Kuang lay on the map and carefully studied the enemy situation.

The accurate information of the enemy is constantly conveyed by the Jinyi Guard, so that this configuration is also clear at a glance.

This time, the enemy sent a total of 150,000 troops, Cao Hong and Jia Xu, as the commander-in-chief of this dispatch, led 30,000 to dispatch in the center, and the troops were divided into seven routes, on the left were Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, and on the right was Yu Ban, Zhang Xiu, and Le Jin. It is really the elite who has done his best and made a lot of money, and it can also be seen that Cao Cao is looking forward to this use of soldiers.
