At this time, it was nearly June, and Wei Yu, the head of the intelligence organization Fengying under Wei Yan's command, reported: "My lord, after three months of unremitting efforts, we have twenty-four detailed workers who have penetrated into Cao's army. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Cao was preparing to lead 50,000 horses to Luoyang to meet him, accompanied by Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Li Dian, Le Jin, Xun Yu, Man Chong and others.

There are Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, Lu Qian, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others who stayed in Xudu, Puyang and other places.

After Cao Cao heard that Cai Yang was beheaded, he quickly sent Cao Hong and Man Chong to lead 10,000 horses. ”

"Send Cao Hong and Man Chong here, and it's only 10,000 horses, it seems that Cao Cao hasn't taken me Wei Yan in his eyes yet," Wei Yan sneered: "So I'll let you see how powerful my Wei Wenchang is!" ”

Wei Yan said this because he looked at history and romance and Cao Hong's military talent was not high, so he felt that Cao Cao did not look up to him.

In fact, the current Cao Hong has a very high status in Cao Cao's heart, no less than Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun.

First of all, Cao Hong saved Cao Cao's life. In February of the first year of Chuping, Cao Cao raised an army to defeat Dong Zhuo, and when he arrived in Xingyang, he was defeated by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong. In the meantime, Cao Cao lost his mount, and Dong Jun pursued very urgently, Cao Hong jumped off the horse when he saw this, and gave the mount to Cao Cao, Cao Cao refused, Cao Hong said: "The world can do without me Cao Hong, but not without you!" So he walked with Cao Cao to the edge of the Bianshui, the water was deep and rapid, and he could not wade across the river, Cao Hong searched along the river, and finally found a ferry, so Cao Cao was able to cross the river and return to the county.

Secondly, after Cao Cao was defeated by Xu Rong, he made a comeback, relying on Cao Hong's strength. Chen Wen and Cao Hong are friends in Yangzhou, Cao Hong once led more than 1,000 soldiers to recruit soldiers with Chen Wen, and raised 2,000 soldiers from Lujiang, and raised thousands of people from Danyang in the east.

In this first year of Jian'an, Cao Hong has not yet shown the inferiority of his talents, and in Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Hong is a hundred times stronger than Cai Yang.

When Wei Yan heard that Cao Cao sent Man Pet to come with Cao Hong, he was overjoyed, at present, Cao Cao and Yang Feng Han Xian have not yet faced each other, Cao Cao has not seen Xu Huang's power, and he did not foresee that Man Pet can persuade Xu Huang to surrender, so he sent Man Pet to follow Cao Hong, hehe, as long as the Man Pet is captured this time, then Man Pet will not be able to persuade Xu Huang to surrender, then Xu Huang should follow Yang Feng Han Xian from Runan to Yuan Shu, when the time comes, hehe......

The more Wei Yan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he really wanted to thank Cao Cao for this arrangement.

Of course, Cao Hong and Manzhong's 10,000 horses are Cao Cao's first-line regular army, which is different from Cai Yang's 10,000 second-line troops, and this time needs to be dealt with well.

Before Cao Hong left, Cao Cao instructed him that if he could not defeat Wei Yan, he would also hold the northern counties of Runan and prevent Wei Yan from going north.

Prior to this, Wei Yan mainly defeated the Yellow Turban soldiers, and most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were recruited, and that time he defeated Zhang Xiu, using strategy and heads-up, and did not show amazing combat power, so Cao Hong did not have much fear of Wei Yan.

On the contrary, Cao Hong felt that he had been fighting with big forces like Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu all the years he had followed Cao Cao, and it was easy to deal with a small force like Wei Yan that owned several counties, so what he was thinking about was defeating Wei Yan and capturing or killing Wei Yan alive.

As for Cai Yang and Qin Qi's 10,000 horses all falling into the hands of Wei Yan, Cao Hong only felt that Cai Yang was too incompetent.

Just like that life, Man Chong was recommended by Cao Cao as the Taishou of Runan, and at the same time accompanied the military counselor military aircraft.

In that life, Cao Cao transferred the Son of Heaven to Xudu and appointed Manzhong as Xudu Ling. At that time, Cao Hong's relatives and guests violated the law many times in the territory of Xudu, and they were arrested by Manzhong. Cao Hong pleaded with Manzhong, but Manzhong refused to let go. Cao Hong asked Cao Cao to intercede, and the full favor beheaded the offender in advance before Cao Cao came, Cao Cao was not angry but happy when he learned about it, and praised the full favor for strict law enforcement, but since then, the relationship between the full pet and Cao Hong is not good.

However, now that Man Chong has not yet taken office as Xu Duling, the relationship with Cao Hong is quite normal.

Man Zhong then offered advice: "General Zilian, I heard that most of Wei Yan's people and horses were obtained by the Yellow Turban thieves, and the military discipline will definitely be corrupted, so it is better to ......."

Cao Hong stroked his palms and laughed: "Berning's plan is wonderful! Wonderful! ”

So, Cao Hong's men and horses made some adjustments, and more than 1,000 old and weak auxiliary soldiers escorted hundreds of grain and grass carts at the front of the team, and Cao Hong's main force was separated by several miles behind.

The scout quickly reported the news of Cao Hong's mobilization to Wei Yan, who was standing at the head of Langling City at that time, and was very puzzled: "Although it is said that the soldiers and horses go first before moving the grain and grass, but the grain and grass baggage team generally sends heavy troops to protect it, why did Cao Hong send a group of old and weak auxiliaries to escort the grain and grass?"

Isn't Cao Hong afraid that I will send troops to rob him of his grain and grass?

Although Cao Hong's talent is not very good, after all, he has followed Cao Cao for many years, so he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, right? What's more, Man Pet follows him around, Man Pet is a strategist talent with an intelligence close to 90! ”

Just when Wei Yan was puzzled, he suddenly heard someone singing under the city: "Heaven and earth are repeated, and they are on fire; The building will crumble, and it will be difficult to support a single tree. There are virtuous people in the valley, who want to vote for the Lord; The Lord seeks to be virtuous, but he does not know me. ”

Wei Yan is overjoyed, these days, he continues to send people around to search for talents, hoping to find a great talent to fill the shortage of talents under his command, but Zhuge Liang is only sixteen years old and does not match himself, Pang Tong is also very young, and the rest of the high wisdom strategists who have been left in the countryside and have reached the age of the emperor are only Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, and Lu Su, Fa Zheng has entered Shu, Lu Su is far away in Huainan and has a bad relationship with Zhou Yu, if he was not worried about his grandmother's illness, he would have defected to Sun Ce a long time ago, and now he is only Xu Shu alone.

So, Wei Yan ordered people to go to Yingchuan and Xiangyang to look for traces of Xu Shu, and let out the wind, and he must invite Xu Shu as a military advisor.

can be searched for more than three months, Xu Shu seems to have evaporated from the world, and has never appeared.

Wei Yan thought that Xu Shu disliked that he was not famous enough and had little power, so he didn't come to defect, so he simply gave up, and waited for when he would get Jia Xu's old man over.

But he never expected that when he was desperate for Xu Shu, Xu Shu would appear.

At this moment, Wei Yan suddenly remembered a song in his head: "You finally appeared, at the most unexpected time, how could you pass through the vast sea of people, only remember your resourcefulness (the original word is gentle)......"

He looked at it fixedly, the man was in a scarf robe, soap silk black shoes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was twenty-four or five years old, and he was even more sure that this was Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi.

Wei Yan hurriedly ran down from the city, ran quickly in front of Xu Shu, and bowed down: "Dare to ask Mr. Daming?" "I know that this is Xu Shu, but I can't reveal it for the time being.
