This time, Zhu Wei led his troops to meet Cao Cao, and naturally it was impossible to completely abandon the garrison of the Yellow River defense line.

After all, on the other side of the Yellow River, there were more than 100,000 Yuan Shao's army, even if Yuan Shao sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to Hugao Pass to pretend to be Cao's army, but there were still nearly 100,000 Yuan Shao's main force on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Now that the Yellow River can still play a defensive role, Zhu Wei dared to lead his troops to Dagu Pass and Guangcheng Pass to meet Cao Cao, who was sneaking in.

But Zhu Wei still left the 15,000 elite soldiers of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's Xionglu battalion on the side of the Yellow River defense line, and then left Liu Ye with more than 10,000 infantry from the Chinese military camp plus nearly 20,000 logistics auxiliaries to garrison.

In this way, Zhu Wei brought to Dagu Pass and Guangcheng Pass, mainly 20,000 Chinese military camps and 30,000 Dongzhou troops.

Fortunately, in these days of the Yellow River War, Zhu Wei also took the time to reorganize the 30,000 Dongzhou Army, and armed them with the weapons and equipment he put in the Three Kingdoms game system, so that although they have not been systematically trained, their whole body is also fully armed, and their combat effectiveness can be regarded as a few points.

Now Zhu Wei has 10,000 garrisons led by Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan and 10,000 Dongzhou troops led by Wu Lan and Lei Tong on the side of Dagu Pass, and he has eliminated the 10,000 Cao troops brought by Cao Ren with the help of ambushes.

Next, Zhu Wei planned to use 20,000 Chinese military camps, 20,000 Dongzhou troops and Sun Jing's 5,000 garrisons in Guangcheng Pass to deal with Cao Cao's more than 30,000 elite Cao troops in Guangcheng Pass, which can be regarded as an abundance of soldiers.

At the same time, after the battle on the side of Dagu Pass, Sun Shangxiang will take 8,000 garrisons of Dagu Pass and 10,000 Dongzhou troops led by Wu Lan and Lei Tong to Guangcheng Pass to help in the battle, so that Zhu Wei can defeat Cao Cao in a battle with absolute superiority on the side of Guangcheng Pass.

In this way, through the battles of Dagu Pass and Guangcheng Pass, Zhu Wei can eliminate Cao Cao, thus disintegrating the situation of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's alliance attacking each other, and officially shifting from strategic defense to strategic counterattack.

Because Zhu Wei is very aware of Cao Jun's movements, now Zhu Wei is also preparing a good show for Cao Cao at Guangcheng Pass.

Let's not talk about these for the time being, just say that Cao Cao led 30,000 elites of Cao's army to set up camp in a sun-sheltered forest valley about three or four miles away from Guangcheng Pass at an interval of about half a day or so when Cao Ren led his troops to leave.

Now that the summer is scorching, it is neither easy to march nor fight during the day, so when Cao's army arrives here, it is basically in the shade to let the whole army rest.

Then Cao Cao sent scouts to patrol the surroundings, and then went to see the movement of Guangchengguan, according to the news transmitted by the scouts, everything seemed to be nothing unusual, and Cao Cao also felt that everything was under control.

Although Cao Ren was still a little worried about the sneak attack of Cao Ren pretending to be the Hanzhong army, since there was no movement on the side of Guangcheng Pass, it means that Cao Ren's army had passed Guangcheng Pass safely, so there may not be a big problem on the side of Dagu Pass.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little relaxed in a shady place with the strategists Guo Jia and Cheng Yu beside him, gossiping about the march and the battle to attack Guangchengguan later.

According to Cao Cao's idea, he could first send someone to Guangcheng Pass to deceive the door again, and once the gate was opened, he could take advantage of the situation to break through the outer gate located in the south of Luoyang.

Anyway, since Cao Ren was able to deceive the gate of Guangcheng Pass before, then Cao Cao should be able to do it now.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other Cao Cao's military advisors also helped Cao Cao improve the strategy of deception, and then proposed other strong attack tactics that could be used if the deception failed.

This time, Cao Cao also brought a lot of siege equipment and vehicles with the army, and he was completely prepared.

Therefore, when the day gradually came to the evening, after the hottest summer in the afternoon, Cao Cao sent Cao Hong and Zhu Zan with 5,000 Cao troops to pretend to be Hanzhong soldiers and horses again, and went to Guangcheng Pass first, while Cao Cao led the army to sneak behind to respond.

About the time when the sky was about to get dark, Cao Hong and Zhu Zan had already led their troops to Guangcheng Pass and shouted to the city gate.

However, before Cao Hong and Zhu Zan could say anything, a series of crossbow arrows suddenly appeared on the city wall, and then they began to shoot crossbow arrows downward.

The continuous crossbow arrows fell like rain in the dim sky, and many Cao soldiers fell to the ground without even screaming, and more Cao soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to resist.

"Withdraw... Remove... Evacuate! ”

Cao Hong and Zhu Zan knew that something was wrong, they must have exposed their tracks here, so there was no nonsense, so they hurriedly led their troops to retreat.

But at this moment, Cao Hong and Zhu Zan have also nailed a few crossbow arrows, and thanks to the fact that both of them can be regarded as second-rate strength, they can avoid the threat at the critical time.

At this time, since Zhu Weijun didn't even greet him and shoot arrows directly, it means that Zhu Weijun can be sure that they are enemies, so what else can he argue.

As Cao Hong and Zhu Zan hurriedly retreated with the defeated soldiers, they left at least one or two thousand corpses under Guangcheng Pass, revealing the terrifying lethality of the crossbow arrows on Guangcheng Pass.

Not long after, Cao Cao led the army to Guangcheng Pass, looking at the dim Guangcheng Pass in the night, Cao Cao couldn't help but have a sense of crisis in his heart.

No matter what Cao Cao imagined in advance, he never thought that he would send someone to steal the door and cheat the door, but before he could open his mouth, he was directly shot with a crossbow arrow.

"It's Cao Cao from outside!"

Not long after, two lights were lit up on Guangcheng Pass, and in the light, Zhu Wei put his hands behind his back, and looked at Cao Cao outside the gate with a light smile, and naturally had a loud voice The herald passed the words for Zhu Wei.

"Oh, it turns out that Qian Tanghou is here in person, which makes a certain person a little surprised! It seems that Qian Tanghou already knows the meaning of so-and-so! ”

When Cao Cao saw Zhu Wei, he was really a little surprised, he didn't know why Zhu Wei would be here, he couldn't imagine that Zhu Wei would be waiting for him here, seeing the dark scene on Guangcheng Pass, Cao Cao couldn't help but wonder if this would be Zhu Wei's suspicion.

Could it be that Zhu Wei happened to be going to Xiangyang, but he was blocked by himself here?

So at this time, there may still be only 5,000 garrisons brought by Sun Jing and a small number of pro-guards brought by Zhu Wei, maybe Guangcheng Pass at this time is just playing tricks.

Cao Cao really didn't want to believe that Zhu Wei could actually see through his sneak attack strategy, and would wait for him here with a large army, if that was the case, then Cao Ren, who had deceived and entered before, was only afraid that it would be dangerous.

But Cao Cao was still faintly uneasy in his heart, and he didn't understand why this was the case.

"Yes, there is Lao Cao Gong who came thousands of miles from the Tiger Prison, but unfortunately Cao Gong's plan is afraid that it will fail, and he has already placed thousands of troops here, just waiting for Cao Gong to come to the door by himself!"

Zhu Wei seemed to be a little bluffing, and this remark made Cao Cao feel that Zhu Wei was not fooling, but in fact, there were not many soldiers and horses on this side at all.

So Cao Cao secretly signaled Guo Jia and Cheng Yu behind him, hoping that they could give a little advice, and then also signaled that the army was ready to attack Guangcheng Pass at any time......
