Cao Cao did not arrange Xiahou Yuan to rescue Cao Ren and Cao Hong, but only transported a batch of materials and sent an additional 300 Zhang Shi, the meaning of which could not be more obvious, this is to let Cao Ren and Cao Hong stick to the camp and never die.

After receiving the soldiers and supplies sent by Cao Cao, Cao Ren held the letter written by Cao Cao himself in his hand, and pinched the corner of the letter repeatedly with his hand, frowning deeply.

Cao Cao's letter was as light as a feather and heavier than Mount Tai.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong are Cao Cao's brothers, and this time Cao Cao raised troops, and both families scattered their family wealth, which can be described as a desperate gamble, and they gambled on Cao Cao's future. If this mission is not completed well, it is inevitable that they will be defeated and die, and the efforts of several generations of their family will be in vain.

Because of this, whether it was Cao Ren or Cao Hong, after receiving Cao Cao's letter, there was no dissatisfaction or resentment in their hearts at all, but immediately began to arrange the defense of the camp.

Both of them were involved in the art of war, and they also knew that Dong Jun's most powerful means was cavalry, so they dug trenches around the camp, placed horses, strengthened and raised the wooden mountain fence, and arranged all the Zhang soldiers in the camp at the gate of the camp to wait for Dong Jun to attack.

Xu Rong saw all this in his eyes, even if he was as sophisticated as him, after seeing this situation, he couldn't confirm Cao Cao's true intentions for a while. But no matter what, as long as this army is quickly eaten away, then no matter what tricks Cao Cao has, it will be useless.

......

The battle here was about to break out, and Xu Chu's troops over there also accelerated their marching.

After walking fifty miles, he received a military report from the front: Cao Cao left thousands of weak soldiers to confuse the sight of Dong Jun, and he had already taken the main force in the direction of Dagu Pass!

When Xu Chu, Xi Zhong, Guo Jia, and Xin Bi heard this, they looked at each other, and they all looked shocked.

Cao Cao's purpose is to do enough to put Cao Ren and Cao Hong in an extremely dangerous situation!

Xin Bi said in a lost voice: "Cao Zixiao and Cao Zilian are both brothers of General Cao's clan, this ...... This ......" said two things in a row, but the latter words couldn't be connected.

Xu Chu said in his heart: This is too ruthless.

He asked himself if he would have dared to make such a decision if it were him, and the answer was no.

I also heard Guo Jiayan say: "My lord, General Cao is taking Taigu today, and the soldiers are so fast that he made this decision to put Cao Ren and Cao Hong in danger." General Cao did this, then we can't delay, we have to cooperate with the action, send people and horses to travel lightly. ”

Xi Zhong also said: "It is best to send two troops, one in the direction of Yique Pass, to confuse Dong Jun and act at the opportunity; One group headed towards Dagu Pass and first joined General Cao. ”

Xu Chu nodded and said to Xin Bi: "George, quickly pass on my military order and summon the generals to the Chinese army to discuss matters." ”

Simbi agreed, got out of the car and rode away.

After a short time, Gan Ning, Le Jin, Wang Yan, Liu Bei and other generals all arrived in the Chinese army.

When they heard about the military situation ahead, these warriors also looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.

Xu Chu waited for them to digest for a while, and then asked: "Now that the plan has been decided, I want to send the second division first, and go to Yique Pass to confuse Dong Jun, and act at the opportunity; I went to Dagu Pass to reinforce General Cao's main force...... All the kings are brave and brave generals, who wants to go? ”

As soon as the voice fell, a group of people asked for battle.

Except for Le Jin and Li Quan, who had made more meritorious contributions before, and Dian Wei's department, which was too heavily armored and not conducive to a rapid march, the rest of the people were willing to go first.

Xu Chu thought: Xingba Shu County hero, when it comes to bravery, is the world's first-class general, since he came to my account, although I am not thin on him, but he did not give him a good opportunity to perform, this time to the task of Yique Pass, he will be the main general. And Wang Yan, it's time for him to see the real battlefield.

So he said: "Gan Ning listens to the order!" ”

Gan Ning's face showed excitement, and he said loudly: "Ning is here!" ”

"Order you to lead the troops and horses to aid Yique Pass, and act when the opportunity arises!"

"Whoa!"

After Gan Ning returned to the column, Xu Chu named again: "Wang Yan! ”

Wang Yan was standing silently aside, not wanting Xu Chu to call his name, and hurriedly said, "My subordinates are here." ”

"I ordered you to lead the two thousand elites of your department to be the deputy general of Gan Xingba, are you willing to go?"

Although he is a deputy general, Wang Yan is not very awkward in his heart, because when the various departments are training, they often train soldiers and horses, he has long seen Gan Ning's martial arts, and he is very amazed in his heart, so he said: "I am willing to go!" ”

The candidates to go to Yique Pass have been finalized, and the remaining generals are even more nervous and expectant to look at Xu Chu.

Looking at their expectant eyes, Xu Chu said in his heart: The troubled times have come, this is the misfortune of the people of Qianshou, the misfortune of the Han family, but it is the great fortune of my generation of warriors.

I thought again: Li Tong and Chen Gong are from Jiangxia County, and they are 'unique' in our army, and they came late, and their foundation is quite shallow. In addition to daily rewards and heart-to-heart refuge, they must also be given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in order to firmly tie them up. Liu Bei is the same, although he is a 'guest army', I have no intention of taking him under my command, but since I have accepted him, I can't do without him, so that the heroes of the world will laugh at my small strength......; Especially Zhang Yide, I think he has a loyal and upright temperament, is approachable, and likes it very much......

So he said: "Li Tong, Chen Gong! ”

Two people came out of the ranks.

"Order the two of you to take the headquarters of Jiangxia Yicong and gallop to the aid of General Cao."

The two said in unison: "Obey the military orders of the prince and the marquis!" ”

Xu Chu then looked at Liu Bei, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, looking light and breezy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the depth of his mind. Even so, Xu Chu still called Liu Bei's name, Liu Bei raised his head, waved his sleeves, and arched his hand: "Be prepared." ”

“....... Xuande, you came from afar, you are a loyal and righteous person, you have the heart to serve the country, I will not let you down. Now I want you to take the Soldiers and Horses Association of the headquarters to act from Li and Chen, are you willing? ”

When Xu Chu spoke, he deliberately quietly observed the expressions of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong.

I saw Jian Yong's expressionless face, Zhang Feiyue was eager to try, and Guan Yu looked like he wanted to reason.

This Guan Yu has a really big temper.

Jian Yong secretly pulled the corner of Guan Yu's clothes and shook his head at him slightly; Zhang Fei also looked at Guan Yu, with a hint of stopping in his eyes. Although Guan Yu was annoyed that Xu Chu asked Liu Bei to obey Li Tong and Chen Gong, he was stopped by Jian and Zhang Yi at this time, so he forced himself to suppress his anger.

Liu Bei didn't know the small movements of Guan Yu and the others behind him, bowed deeply to Xu Chu, and said, "Thank you Junhou, I am willing to go to the soup for the Han Dynasty." ”

For the Han, not for someone, the meaning hidden in Liu Bei's words is also obvious.

Xu Chu had no intention of caring about this, and after the arrangement was completed, he ordered the generals to act immediately.

Since it was a rapid march at this time, the generals who led the order immediately ordered the soldiers to leave the things that hindered them, and set off with only the weapons used in battle.

After Gan Ning and the other generals set off, Xu Chu issued another military order, asking Le Jin to walk slowly with the baggage team, and he accelerated his speed in order to catch up with Cao Cao as soon as possible.

At this time, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen had already launched a fierce attack on Cao Renbu.
