As soon as Cao Xiong died, the Xuzhou army was suddenly in chaos, Yu Ban, who had long been ambushed outside, immediately brought people to kill the generals, and Xiao Pei, who had no leader in the dragons, was in an instant, and under the offensive and surrender of Ban and Pan Zhang, it was only two hours before and after, and Xiao Pei was completely in the hands of Cao Jun.

All the soldiers gathered by the forbidden general were detained in the barracks, and then sent people to report the victory to the high night of the Lu State. He and Pan Zhang successfully took down Xiaopei, and on the entire battlefield, only Cao Bao was left. As long as Gao Ye completely solves Cao Bao, according to Gao Ye's plan, this battle will basically come to an end. After all, the most important thing now is that the soldiers and food and grass are not sufficient, otherwise, according to what Gao Ye said, he would have to enter Xuzhou this time and have a good talk with Tao Qian.

Cao Bao, who was still in a hurry, didn't know that Xiaopei had changed hands. Because of the fear of Gao Ye's ambush, since the army arrived in the territory of Lu, Cao Bao's march has become cautious, not only shortening the distance between the front and his own army, but also sending a large number of scouts, whenever they encounter valleys and forests, they will send people to carefully investigate. Although this slowed down his march, it also left Gao Ye with no chance to take advantage of it.

In fact, Cao Bao can't be blamed for this, because until now, the news he has received is still that Gao Ye is trying his best to attack the city, and as long as Gao Ye is still attacking the city, he will definitely have time to hurry. Where did he think that the siege battle outside the city of Lu was just a play directed and acted by Gao Ye?

Yes, there were catapults outside the city, but they had never attacked. As for Cao Bao's scouts, as long as they approached thirty miles away from the county seat of Luguo, they would be strangled by Gao Ye's men and horses. Such a strong purge of the scouts made Cao Bao believe that Gao Ye had not yet taken the country of Lu, if it weren't for that, why would Gao Ye have killed his scouts. Isn't it to make it difficult for him to get the news, so as to provide him with the opportunity to carry out the trick. It's just that along the way, he didn't meet many scouts of the high night, and the scouts of the high night saw the army, but they only watched from a distance, and then ran away, and they had no chance to send someone to strangle them.

However, because of this, Cao Bao's march has increased a little faster, because after here, there will be a flat river in Lu country, and even if Gao Ye wants to ambush himself, it becomes unlikely. And in the end, he is still worried about his son, who is the only male in the Cao family, if he dies in the Lu country like this, how can he explain to the ancestors of the Cao family?

When Gao Ye heard the news, he couldn't help but shake his head, this Cao Bao was really cautious, trying his best to hurry, and being cautious on the other. On the one hand, he was worried about his son's life, and on the other hand, he was worried that he would be ambushed and bury his future and life. Such a complex and tangled mentality is indeed what a cautious person should have. However, Gao Ye is now different from what Cao Bao thought, Gao Ye has completely won the county seat, and there is no need to rely on ambushes to win because of the difference in strength. Moreover, the state of Lu has been completely pacified, although it is necessary to leave 2,000 men and horses to garrison the county seat, plus Yu Ban took 5,000 men and horses. Although the mobile force in his hands is much less, he still has 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers in his hands. Even if it is a face-to-face battle with Cao Bao, it is not a problem. After all, the Xuzhou Army under Cao Bao is not an elite combat force. As Gao Ye said, the most elite Danyang soldiers under Tao Qian have been basically wiped out under the Tiger Prison Pass, and now the strength of the Xuzhou Army is not as good as before.

Therefore, Gao Ye only left Zhou Cang to temporarily garrison Lu State, and at the same time reported to Cao Cao, asking him to arrange officials as soon as possible and prepare for negotiations with Tao Qian. Even if he can't defeat Cao Bao, as long as he knows the news of the fall of Lu Guo and Xiaopei, he will obediently return to Xuzhou.

Cao Bao, who was cautious all the way, was finally rewarded by the scouts. "General Yu, the army of the high night has been found ten miles away." Cao Bao was shocked when he heard this, could it be that the country of Lu had been captured by Gao Ye? Otherwise, how could Gao Ye lead the army to fight with himself so unscrupulously? Thinking of this, Cao Bao's heart couldn't help but sink, if this is really the case, Cao Yuan is only afraid that this time it will be more than lucky. When the city was broken, the soldiers were in chaos, how could Cao Yuan's martial arts easily escape? Besides, before the high night, there was a formation of three missing one, even if Cao Yuan knew that there would be an ambush at the south gate, he had to go, right?

In front of the two armies, looking at Gao Ye's mocking face, Cao Bao's face couldn't help but darken a little more, although he had never seen Gao Ye, but as long as he looked at Cao Bao dressed up, he knew that the person who came must be Gao Ye. Now that he has hurried here, the exhaustion of the whole army can be imagined. But Gao Ye is waiting for work, as long as he looks at the military appearance of Gao Ye's soldiers, he can guess it.

Since Gao Ye heard that Cao Bao had approached the county town of Luguo fifty miles, he led his men and horses to rest twenty miles outside the city, preparing to deal with Cao Bao. Therefore, Gao Ye is now really waiting for work, seeing that Cao Bao's soldiers are not in good shape, even Cao Bao himself is not much better, Gao Ye feels that if he doesn't beat Cao Bao today, his name as a famous general will be in vain.

Gao Yeyan saw Cao Zishuaiqi, and then hit his horse and shouted: "Where is Cao Bao, come out to answer." ”

Seeing this, Cao Bao had no choice but to beat his horse and walk to the front of the battle, facing Gao Ye's playful gaze, and also shouted loudly: "A certain family is Cao Bao, and Your Excellency is Yingchuan Gao Tai Shouhu?" ”

"It's down there. I have heard the prestige of Xuzhou Cao Leopard for a long time, and now I see it, it's just like that. Gao Ye said and then laughed out loud, and even the soldiers behind Gao Ye echoed Gao Ye and laughed. Although they didn't know why, they all laughed at the night anyway, and it didn't hurt for everyone to laugh along.

However, this kind of laughter, listening to Cao Bao's ears, is particularly harsh, he has always regarded himself as the number one general in Xuzhou, and now he is ridiculed like this by Gao Ye and many of his subordinates, how can he endure this bad breath? Fortunately, he is still a cautious person, although he is angry, he has not done anything irrational, but shouted righteously: "Gao Ye, since you are too guarded by Yingchuan, why do you violate my Xuzhou border for no reason now?" ”

"Xuzhou? Cao Bao, are you confused? When did this Lu country become your place in Xuzhou, if I remember correctly, it should be under the rule of Yuzhou, right? Gao Ye smiled. Cao Bao didn't know what to say when he heard it, Gao Ye was right, although he had laid down the country of Lu, but in the final analysis, the country of Lu is still the territory of Yuzhou, and it seems that there is really a problem with what he says. It's just that he hasn't answered yet, so he only heard Gao Ye say again: "And you said that I violated your border for no reason, why, General Cao forgot about your Xuzhou soldiers and horses attacking my Mount Tai so quickly?" Even if the defenders you arranged in Mount Tai are incompetent and are driven back by General Cao Hong, you can't assume that this incident didn't happen! ”

Cao Bao was even more shocked when he heard this, he didn't know the battle situation of Mount Tai now, didn't he expect it to be so erosive? Cao Hong himself had heard that he was said to be a general under Cao Cao, so it seems that the rout of the defenders of Mount Tai was not groundless. But that's not the point, my focus now is on how to defeat Gao Ye, or how not to be defeated by Gao Ye.

"Lu is a borderless land, and since my Xuzhou army occupies it, it is under my Xuzhou rule. Now you are leading men and horses to attack my country of Lu, and I am leading troops to resist, what's wrong? ”

"Cao Bao, how can you speak so bluntly without a king and a father!" Gao Ye shouted, his voice was a few points higher than Fang Cai, and his voice was fierce, which scared Cao Bao directly. "Cao Bao, don't you know, this whole world, isn't it the king's land! This country of Lu is under the rule of my Han Dynasty, how can I say that there is no borderland! Isn't it, do you have the intention of rebellion in Xuzhou? "Anyway, let's take off the big hat first.

Cao Bao realized that he had lost his words at this time, so he naturally denied it. "How can I Xuzhou rebel? Gao Ye, don't charge me indiscriminately. There was no one to govern the Lu country, the people were not able to make a living, and Tao Xuzhou could not bear the rampant thieves of the Lu country, so he sent troops to guard it. Let me ask you, where are the defenders of my Lu country now? ”

"Haha, the city of Lu is broken, and the defenders are now all under my lord Cao Mengde, why do you bother to ask?" Gao Ye opened his mouth and laughed, looked at Cao Bao with a black face, and then said: "Don't say it, my subordinates found this on the body of a corpse when they were cleaning the battlefield. Gao Ye said, holding up Cao Yuan's personal jade pendant that Li Zhu had captured, "Although that person is wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier, this jade is really a good jade, it can be seen that the owner is either rich or expensive." I heard that the guard is your son Cao Bao, how about it, do you recognize this jade pendant? Come on, give this jade pendant to General Cao to see. ”

Cao Bao looked at Gao Ye from a distance holding a piece of jade pendant, and said that it was not good, although it was far away, and he couldn't see it very clearly, but it was very likely that it was the piece he gave to his son. Especially Gao Ye asked someone to send it to him, and he took it in his hand to take a closer look, how could it not be the piece he gave to Cao Yuan? Hearing Gao Ye say that he was found from the corpse of an ordinary soldier, it is not strange, it must be that his son saw that the situation was not good and was ready to escape, so he changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier and prepared to escape in the chaos. It's a pity that even though his son was so careful, he still died on the battlefield.

Cao Bao, who now knew exactly the news of his son's death, felt that his eyes were a little dark, and even the sound of Gao Ye seemed to float from a long distance. Especially at this time, seeing Gao Ye's mocking face, the furious Cao Bao could no longer restrain his feelings, and immediately shouted loudly: "Array for me!" Array! Gao Ye is only a few thousand people, I will kill Gao Ye today to avenge my Xuzhou martyrdom! ”

"Haha, Cao Bao, if you say so much, aren't you afraid of flashing your tongue! If you want to fight, then come and fight, I'm optimistic about you. ”
