Cao Cao's army camp, Cao Cao felt uneasy after ordering Lejin's 3,000 first troops to prepare. Looking at the direction of Lu County, I always feel that something bad is about to happen.

"Report ~ emergency military situation!" Outside the camp, several messengers galloped in, seemingly under Xiahoudun's subordinates.

"Back to the lord, the Nanyang Army cavalry is coming! General Xiahou ordered his subordinates to come and inform the lord, please be careful of the ambush! The messenger climbed down from his horse and quickly reported to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What is the number of enemy troops?" ”

The messenger replied: "About five thousand horsemen!" “

"Five thousand Nanyang cavalry killed Lu County, and they didn't know anything?" Cao Cao's heart is cold, this He Xian is going to do something! And it's a big deal!

"Gather all the soldiers and horses, and prepare to go out of the camp to rescue Xiahoudun!" After a short thought, Cao Cao gave the order.

"Lord, never!" Changshi Xunyu, who rushed to hear the news, hurriedly advised: "The number of enemy troops is unknown, and the Chinese army can't be easily dispatched!" He Xian's use of troops has always been eclectic, and there are frequent schemes. Since he sent reinforcements, the people he is planning must be more than the 10,000 people of General Xiahou! ”

"Wen Ruo's words are not bad, but Yuan Rang and I are like brothers, I can't watch him fall into the attack of the Nanyang Army and be indifferent."

"The lord can send General Yu Ban or General Le Jin to send troops to the rescue without personally leading the troops!" Xun Yu said urgently.

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "As Wen Ruo said, according to He Xian's style of using troops, there is definitely more than Xiahou and the army. If our army divides its forces to attack again, Cao dares to conclude that it will definitely be ambushed again. When the time comes, will our army save or not? Rather than being broken by the Nanyang Army, it is better to go out. it and see who He Xian arranged to dare to ambush Cao! ”

Xun Yu was silent, Cao Cao's words were not unreasonable. Cao's army is 30,000, and since He Xian dares to raid Xiahoudun's 10,000 former army, the number will definitely not be too small. Cao Cao's reinforcements were few, purely the rhythm of sending them to death; If there are too many factions, the camp will be empty. If He Xian turned to attack the camp of Cao's army, Cao Cao would be in danger. The two are mutually reinforcing, and perhaps Cao Cao's desperate choice is the most reasonable.

"Wen Ze, you immediately order 1,000 soldiers and horses from your headquarters, take the long history, and retreat to Puyang, Dongjun non-stop."

"Lord~" Xun Yu exclaimed!

"Wen Ruo rest assured, there are fierce generals such as Dian Wei, Le Jin, and Cao Chun to escort him, and there are 20,000 elite soldiers in hand. Even He Xian personally came to attack, and he was confident to fight with him! It's just that if the ambush battle is opened, the battlefield is extremely chaotic, and for safety reasons, Wen Ruo would better follow Yu Ban and leave this place first. After Wen Ruo returned to Dongjun, he must store up military rations, recruit young and strong, and prepare to hold on. A full-scale battle between our army and the Nanyang Army is about to break out! “

In the face of Cao Cao's entrustment, Xun Yu solemnly replied to his promise.

"Nanyang Xiao'er is arrogant, and let him see how powerful my Yanzhou army is!" After explaining Xun Yu's affairs, Cao Cao pulled out the sword on his waist and slashed at the case in front of him, and the case was broken in two!

"The lord is mighty, and the Yanzhou army will win!" All the generals of the Cao army responded with a bang.

In addition to Yu Ban's 1,000 men and horses retreating to Dongjun, more than 2,000 injured people stayed in the camp in the past few days, and Cao Cao mobilized more than 15,000 Yanzhou troops to kill Benlu County.

……

"Lord, Cao Jun is dispatched! Moreover, it is pouring out of the nest! "Ten miles southeast of Cao Ying, He Xian and Zhao Yunzheng were leading the remaining five thousand Bingzhou flying horses to ambush in a dense forest, and they heard the scout cavalry come to report.

"It's Cao Cao who leads the troops?"

"The banner of the Chinese army with the word Cao should be Cao Cao himself!"

"Yay! Cao Apu finally couldn't sit still! He Xian's face was overjoyed, and he asked Zhao Yun instead: "How is Zhang Liao's side, have you ever defeated Xiahoudun?" “

Zhao Yundao: "Wenyuan is already preparing to dispatch heavy armored cavalry, and the collapse of Xiahoudun's army is only an overnight moment. ”

"From defeat to pursuit, Wen Yuan will still need some time, and it seems that the plan we are waiting for should be implemented!" He Xian looked in Cao Jun's direction and sneered.

……

Cao Cao judged that the Nanyang army would send troops to ambush in the middle of the road, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as Cao's army left the camp, the scout cavalry in front of him issued a sharp warning of "enemy attack". In accordance with the plan formulated before departure, more than 15,000 Cao troops quickly formed three formations in the front, middle and rear, and assumed a defensive posture.

On the official road, the sound of horses' hooves rolled, but listening to the sound, the number of people did not seem to be very large. Sure enough, about 1,000 light horsemen appeared in Cao Jun's sight under the banner of the word "Zhang".

"My lord, does the Nanyang Army want to use this thousand horsemen to defend the main force of our army?" Dian Wei was guarding Cao Cao and asked with a look of surprise.

"This is just a tentative team of the Nanyang Army. Order each formation to hold the defensive line, and the archers can wait for the opportunity to counterattack. Cao Cao commanded with a frown.

Sure enough, when more than 1,000 Bingzhou flying horses rushed to a place a stone's throw away from Cao's army, they launched cavalry shooting. After completing the two-wheeled cavalry, the Flying Horse began to forcibly turn and flee in a southeasterly direction.

A mere 2,000 arrows did not bring much damage to Cao's army. However, Cao's archers had not yet launched a counterattack, and the flying cavalry of the state had already escaped the range of the arrow rain.

"My lord, do you need the last general to lead the tiger and leopard to chase after you?" Cao Cao, the commander of Cao Cao's personal guards, asked.

"Don't chase! Beware of fraud! Cao Cao refused: "Inform the whole army, return to the marching formation, and continue to advance!" ”

Cao Cao thought that this was just a trick by the Nanyang army to lure his troops, and wanted to implement various strategies to break the Cao army, so he insisted on advancing in a group. Even if the speed of progress is a little slow, it is not hesitant.

Cao Jun resumed marching less than two miles in columns, and the reconnaissance cavalry in front once again issued a warning sound of "enemy attack". Colonel Cao Jun hurriedly commanded the soldiers under his command to set up a dense defensive formation in the front, middle and rear armies, but the speed of the soldiers was obviously not as fast as the first time, and the enthusiasm for defense also decreased a little. Because there were not many enemy troops in front of them, there were still only a thousand light horsemen. They "yelled" at each other, deliberately trying to create the effect of tens of thousands of riders.

"Lord, this seems to be the thousand-state flying horse?" Dian Wei reminded Cao Cao angrily.

Cao Chun, who was beside Cao Cao, stood on the back of the war horse with both hands. With one hand on his forehead, he carefully looked at the more than 1,000 light horsemen who were approaching for a while, and affirmed: "Lord, this is indeed the 1,000 light horsemen just now." The head of the little school rode a yellow horse with a black horse under the crotch, and the last general remembered it very clearly. ”

"What the hell is Nanyang Jun doing?" Cao Cao frowned and pondered: "It's the same thousand-person team that was dispatched, isn't the Nanyang Army a plan to lure the enemy?" ”

"Lord, why don't you lead the tiger and leopard to explore the truth?" Cao Chun asked.
