However, Cao Cao has the heart to attack Jingzhou, but it is to make the family in Jingzhou have more thoughts, although Liu Bei has won the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, and now he has seized the land of Yizhou, compared with Cao Cao, after all, it is much worse.

Just when Lü Bu led his troops into Jizhou, Cao Cao took Cao Ren as the vanguard of the army and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Runan County.

After Cao Ren entered Runan County, he was not in a hurry to invade Nanyang, but built siege equipment in Runan County, driven by Lu Bu, the thunderbolt car under the rule of the princes, made great development, and the princes attached great importance to the thunderbolt and bed crossbow, in the battlefield, who can achieve an advantage in these equipment, it means that there is a greater possibility of winning the war.

After Cao Ren's actions in Runan County reached Nanyang County, Guan Yu mobilized his troops and began to prepare for defense, and the scouts closely inquired about the news of Runan.

Jiangdong, after Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong after the defeat of Huguan before, and after pacifying some restless families, no one dared to disobey Sun Ce's orders, the most powerful Jiangdong Army was the Water Army, and the Water Army was the most relied on by the Jiangdong Army.

"Gong Jin, now that Lu Bu is leading a large army to attack Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is returning to the army at such a critical moment, I don't know what his intentions are?" Sun Ce wondered.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Lord, how can Cao Cao sit back and watch Liu Bei sit big, there is a great grudge between the two, Cao Cao took Xuzhou from Liu Bei's hands, although it was temporarily united in one place, but it was because it was Liu Biao who was in charge of Jingzhou, and now Liu Biao is not there, Liu Qi is incompetent, the actual controller of Jingzhou is Liu Bei, although Cao Cao has Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou, Xuzhou is unstable, if Jingzhou can be captured, it will definitely be more powerful, Jingzhou is a rich land, there are many people, Presumably, Cao Cao had already had contact with Lu Bu in secret, otherwise, Lu Bu would not have led the army to Jizhou so easily. ”

"As expected, Yuan Shao's time will definitely not last long." Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce was shocked in his heart, and immediately thought of Yuan Shao's record against Lu Bu over the years, the force represented by Yuan Shao has always been extremely powerful in Sun Ce's eyes, after all, the name of the Yuan family is there.

"Gong Jin, if Cao Cao occupies Jingzhou, Jiangdong will be even more passive." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu said: "Cao Cao's capture of Jingzhou is also an opportunity for our army, the lord can secretly gather soldiers and horses, if Cao Cao leads the troops to attack Jingzhou, it is Jiangdong's opportunity to seize Jingzhou." ”

A gleam flashed in Sun Ce's eyes, and he laughed and said: "With Gongjin by his side, why can't he seize Jingzhou, but Liu Da'er has gained Yizhou and lost Jingzhou this time." Between the words, Sun Ce did not have any trust in Liu Bei's ability to hold Jingzhou, whether it was the Cao army or the Jiangdong army, they all had a proud record against the Jingzhou army, and Liu Bei was a person who had been repeatedly defeated in the eyes of the princes.

"The lord should not underestimate Liu Bei, especially Zhuge Liang, the military advisor under this person's account, is a talented person, Lu Bu occupies Ba County, but he is the main city of Jingzhou into Yizhou." Zhou Yu reminded.

Sun Ce nodded slightly.

This attack on Jingzhou, Cao Cao is not only to expand the territory, but also has the idea of training, directly dispatched 100,000 troops, among the 100,000 troops, seventy percent are soldiers who have joined the army not long ago, perhaps under the stimulation of Lu Bu, and now the number of troops under Cao Cao has reached an astonishing 150,000, unlike the army under Lu Bu, the ordinary soldiers in the army have no salary to take, except for the army under Lu Bu, the army of other princes is the same.

Jingzhou is the process of Cao Cao making an army of 100,000 into elite soldiers, which not only has tiger and leopard cavalry, but also has heavy armored cavalry and heavy infantry, and the war has made the princes realize the huge role played by an elite army on the battlefield, and Cao Cao paid a lot of price in order to build these elites.

But all the non-commissioned officers who can enter the tiger and leopard cavalry, heavy cavalry and heavy infantry are the most elite soldiers in the army, and they enjoy the envy of the soldiers of other departments in the army, and the training is extremely strict.

100,000 troops came towards Nanyang County, everywhere they went, the officials of the cities looked at the wind and surrendered, whether Liu Bei or Cao Cao, they were all Han Chinese, and Cao Cao showed more strength, the most feared by these officials was Cao Cao's means, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, it can be said that the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed into rivers, and they were worried that after resisting, in exchange for the crazy revenge of the Cao army.

Cao Ren led 5,000 soldiers and horses, along the way to keep probing the news on the battlefield, scouts are all over the battlefield, the scouts of the Jingzhou army and the scouts of the Cao army began a desperate contest, with the war horses from the state, the strength of the tiger and leopard cavalry has improved a lot, and the scouts of the Jingzhou army are naturally crushing.

Wancheng, after Guan Yu got the news from the front, his brows furrowed, the enemy's cavalry was too strong, and it was difficult for the scouts to find out too much on the battlefield.

"General, this is what the military advisor instructed the last general to hand over to the general before leaving." The lieutenant stepped forward and whispered.

After Guan Yu read the letter in his hand, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, Cao Jun tried in vain to seize Jingzhou, and let his soldiers become strong and strong, he wanted to teach Cao Jun a cruel lesson.

Bowangpo is the only place for Cao's army to attack Nanyang, and it is also a place where soldiers must fight.

After Cao Ren listened to the news from the scouts, his brows furrowed, Cao Ren naturally knew the danger of Bowangpo, but the terrain of Bowangpo was dangerous, if there were soldiers and horses hidden in it, it would be a big disaster.

"Order the scouts to keep an eye on Bowangpo." Cao Ren ordered.

Bowangpo, the terrain is dangerous, Cao Ren looked at Bowangpo not far away, but his brows were furrowed, in the news that the scouts inquired about, it was found that there was no enemy army in Bowangpo, the more so, the more Cao Ren felt suspicious, as long as it was a general with a certain strategy, he could see the importance of Bowangpo, and Bowangpo was a good place to ambush soldiers and horses.

"Have you ever sent soldiers to investigate it?" Cao Ren asked.

"General, the Bowang slope is very large, and the terrain on both sides is dangerous, and our soldiers have not found much when they enter it."

Yu Ban stepped forward and said: "General, is it that the Jingzhou army is afraid when they see our army coming, and the cities along the way are looking at the wind." ”

"The herald army is stationed outside Bowangpo." Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Ren ordered directly.

Cao Ren is Cao Cao's heavy general, the most important thing is the strategy that Cao Ren showed when he led the troops to fight, and Cao Ren is Cao Cao's clan, and his status in the army can be imagined.
