"Envoy, the news that General Chen Hong sent someone in Jiangxia sent by Cao Cao sent Cao Hongdianwei with 5,000 generals to attack Xinyang, and now it has been defeated by General Chen Hong. Killed Cao Hong and seriously injured Dian Wei. Cao Bing has been defeated. Please rest assured. ”

At about the same time that Cao Cao knew the news of Cao Hongdianwei and Zhengyang's defeat, in the camp of Liu Biao in Luyang, Liu Biao also received a battle report sent by Chen Hong, the deputy general of Jiangxia.

However, what Cao Cao and they got was a losing report. Liu Biao got it here, but it was good news.

When he first heard that Cao Cao had sent people to invade Xinyang, Liu Biao was even slightly surprised in his heart, he only said that Jiangxia was in danger this time. But soon, he heard the news that Chen Hong had defeated Cao Jun Cao Hongdianwei, which made him feel overjoyed, and then surprised.

Cao Hongdianwei, that is also a heavyweight general under Cao Cao! Who is this Chen Hong? He was able to kill Cao Hongdianwei and seriously injure one person. Could it be that they Jiangxia are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with many talents, and such a famous general?

Liu Biao looked at Huang Zu and asked him, "General Huang, what kind of important person is this Chen Hong, why haven't I heard of it before?"

Huang Zu stepped forward and replied: "Chen Hong is only a deputy general in Jiangxia, and I haven't seen anything special about Chen Hong before."

When Huang Zu heard the news, he was actually shocked in his heart, Cao Hongdianwei would be defeated by Chen Hong, and the two of them were killed and seriously injured. Chen Hong: What is it that is suddenly possessed, and he has such great ability? I can't see it! This made Huang Zu feel very surprised.

Is he just a lieutenant general in Jiangxia? Hearing Huang Zu's answer, Liu Biao hesitated. The current situation actually made him scratch his head. Chen Hong's battle seems to be a victory, but in fact, there are endless troubles.

If Chen Hong had won the victory against Cao Bing this time, and only expelled Cao Bing from the Xinyang territory, then the situation would be fine. But it's not good, they actually killed Cao Hong.

Although it is said that on the battlefield, it is inevitable that someone will die, but who is not good to die? How many people died badly? Just want to die of a Cao Hong? This made them have a grudge against Cao Cao.

With Cao Cao's heart, in order to avenge his father, he almost slaughtered a state, and now they have killed Cao Hong, can Cao Cao be good with them?

This is something that can be figured out without thinking about it! Liu Biao was in his heart, in fact, he blamed Chen Hong a little, and this matter was not very neat.

But of course he can't express this attitude in front of others, if he shows something, doesn't it show that he is showing weakness to Cao Cao?

So how can this be?

So now, Liu Biao is actually a little anxious in his heart.

Kuai Liang next to him looked at the side, and saw that although they had won the battle, Liu Biao's face was not a little happy, what kind of person was he? After a round in my heart, I already knew what Liu Biao was worried about.

So he took a step forward and said to Liu Biao: "Envoy, there is no need to worry about this matter, now Cao Cao is here, confronting us." In fact, he is already difficult to ride a tiger. He doesn't have a guaranteed chance of winning for us. For Xinyang, it is difficult for him to retaliate. During this period, if he divides his troops from both sides, I am afraid that he will still be taken advantage of by us. Therefore, now, it is Cao Bing who should feel the dilemma, not us, so why should the lord worry? ”

Liu Biao said: "Zirou said this!"

Kuai Liang said: "Chen Hong is in Xinyang, since he can defeat Cao Hongdianwei's army, Cao Cao wants to send people to them to retaliate, but he is afraid that the people sent will be more capable than Cao Hongdianwei." And at this time, they are here, and they can't hold on to us, how can they still send troops to attack Xinyang? ”

"If they want to draw troops from elsewhere, attack us first. Make our army retreat and attack Xinyang again. Then the king can order Chen Hong to send troops to Yuzhou, so that Cao Cao will be difficult to take care of. then its plan will be self-defeating. General Chen Hong's new defeat of Cao Hongdianwei is in full swing, and Cao Bing must be terrified of it. Sending him to attack, even in Cao Cao's heart, he was afraid that he would be a little hairy, and he didn't dare to transfer troops at will to reinforce Luyang. ”

"In this way, he does not dare to increase his troops in Luyang, then we can still hold on to him here, and under the protracted period, Cao Cao can only retreat in the end. The. In fact, our army has a lot of initiative against Cao Bing, so why should you be afraid of Cao Cao. ”

Kuai Liang's words, I heard Liu Biao nodding frequently, and he felt that it was reasonable, and his brows also stretched a lot.

While the two were talking, at this moment, from outside, another small soldier came in and sent a message: "Envoy Qi, General Chen Hong has sent a battle report from Shenyang."

When Liu Biao heard this, he was shocked, Shenyang, it's not their Jingzhou boundary! Why did Chen Hong go to Shenyang again?

"Read!" Liu Biao said to the little soldier.

The little soldier replied: "General Chen Hong said that they have now captured Shenyang, and they are sending troops to Ancheng, and they will march to Pingyu in the future, please make your peace of mind."

“……”

Liu Biao was speechless for a while, this Chen Hong actually hit Cao Cao's territory directly, it was too bold, who made him do this?

Liu Biao used troops and did not want to expand externally, he just needed to hold his Jingzhou. The advice Kuai Liang gave him just now was also focused on making him do a good job of defense, not offense. Kuai Liang asked him to use suspicious soldiers to interfere with the deployment of Cao's army.

But now that Chen Hong is doing this, they are taking the initiative to attack and expand the front a little, which Liu Biao does not like. This Chen Hong, how can he be so bold this time?

Thinking of this, Liu Biao's face sank, and he was about to speak, asking this little soldier to go back and talk back to Chen Hong, so that Chen Hong could not send troops at will. But at this time, Kuai Liang opened his mouth again and intercepted Liu Biao.

Kuai Liang is a subordinate of Liu Biao, how can he not understand Liu Biao's thoughts? As soon as he saw Liu Biao's every move, he knew what Liu Biao meant in his heart. Therefore, when he saw that Liu Biao wanted to drink Xiaobing, he knew what Liu Biao wanted to do.

Therefore he said, "Envoy, this is not to be the case. Now that General Chen has done these things, he can only indulge him to the end. Now that our army has gained a little advantage over Cao's army, at this time, we must not withdraw our troops casually. This time, let General Chen Hong put a little pressure on Cao Bing in the rear! As long as Cao Bing can be coerced into withdrawing, why do we need to be here to engage in a protracted standoff with Apu? ”

When he said this, he actually said that he wanted Chen Hong to take the initiative to attack, disturb Cao Cao's military morale, and make Cao Cao unable to hold on to them in Luyang.

This is also a good strategy to force Cao Cao to withdraw from Luyang as soon as possible! After listening to Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao was silent for a while.
