"Report, two hundred miles away, the traces of the Chang'an army were found." A Cao Jun scout was dragged up from the hanging basket, and his clothes were worn out. Report to Yan Xingyu.

Since Cao Cao learned that Lü Bujun had abandoned Xiangyang, he began to close the city gates. Cao Jun heard the arrival of the Chang'an army, many soldiers' spears began to tremble, sweating palms, the strength of the Chang'an army they are too clear, since half a year of fighting, Cao Jun has not won a single victory in addition to successfully defeating the camp in the inner countryside, Cao Jun was either captured or killed, but in the first battle of the inner countryside, the Cao army was almost wiped out, including the main general Zhang Jaw Xu Huang, in fact, it was still the Cao army defeated.

On both sides of the Han River, 200,000 Cao soldiers buried their bones, and when they thought of this, the remaining Cao army miscellaneous soldiers did not resist at all, and continued to fight bravely. Countless miscellaneous soldiers began to flee, and Cao Cao, in desperation, announced the closure of the city.

The only Youzhou cavalry that still has combat power was sent to the front line by Cao Cao, and in this battle, Cao Cao got the secret weapons used to attack the pass and Xiao Pass, and the battle was decided. As long as after this battle, all the new forces of Lu Bu are relocated, and the fighting spirit of the Hebei miscellaneous soldiers is inspired, Cao Cao may not be defeated. And in the battle of his overlook, that time was not defeated first and then won? Especially in the first battle of Guandu, only half a day of food and grass was left before the defeat turned into victory. Cao Cao firmly believed that until the last moment, even if there was a single soldier, he still could not assert victory or defeat.

"Order Yan Xing, be sure to do everything you can, even if you die in battle, gather all the troops south of Lu Bu in Anzhong! It's a death order! Cao Cao decided to use tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry to accompany Lu Bu to the funeral. Lu Bu's death is worth it.

Lü Bu led an army of 200,000 and marched north along the river and approached Anzhong. Starting from Hanzhong, Lu Bu's troops fought more and more, and the more they fought, the stronger they became. After opening the Wuguan Road in the inner countryside, there was a steady stream of supplies and baggage from the rear, and Shangyong had tens of millions of grain and grass to rely on, and Lu Bu was full of confidence in defeating Cao Cao's army.

"Newspaper. The Cao army hoarded Wancheng, and all the cavalry in Youzhou were stationed in Anzhong. "Xizuo passed the deployment of Cao's army to Lu Bu's army.

Xu Shu frowned, cavalry rarely appeared on the battlefield alone, and the stickers were used to defend the city. The role of cavalry is mobility and blitzkrieg, cavalry needs infantry to assist in defense, and infantry also needs cavalry to defend the flanks. Cao Cao brazenly threw his cavalry at Anzhong. Lu Bu and Lu Bu's strategist generals had a bad premonition. In the small basin area from Anzhong to Xiangcheng, it is difficult for a single cavalry unit to exert its cavalry strength. Cao Cao still used cavalry to defend the city. Could it be that Cao Cao wants to withdraw his troops?

"Quicken the pace, don't listen day and night, march hastily." Lü Bu was worried that Cao Cao would escape, leaving many supplies and baggage in the rear, and the army pursued lightly. Once Cao Cao escapes back to Hebei, if Lu Bu wants to send troops to fight again, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

Lü Meng Yan Yan led a total of 50,000 horse infantry as the vanguard, Lü Bu sat in the middle army, and Gao Shun escorted grain and grass to Anzhong.

Thirty miles from the city of Anzhong, on the field, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled. Lv Meng is looking for an open mountain, backed by the mountains, and under the water. Stick to it every day, let Yan Xing shout and scold and fight, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese army Lu Bu.

When Lü Meng avoided the battle, he was happiest than Yan Xing, the commander of the Youzhou cavalry. When Xiliang's entire army was annihilated, he broke through the siege alone, and now when he received Cao Cao's order to gather Lu Bu's army together without being in a hurry to succeed or fail, Yan Xing was not to mention how depressed he was, could he really be a general who was often defeated?

Yan Xing was densely packed with scouts, hundreds of miles from Zheng County to Anzhong. The movement of Lu Bu's army continued to spread to Yan Xing, who in turn passed to Cao Cao in Wancheng.

Yan Xing sent the news to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao sensed that the time to close the net was coming. Cao Cao was carefully weighing the slightest mistake in his strategy of sweeping Lu Bu to the ground. He will not let Lu Bu go again, once Lu Bu dies, Chang'an will be like scattered sand. No one in Chang'an has the prestige of Lu Budi, Lu Bu brutally suppressed the family, and the family rebounded after his death, and the rebound of the family alone can make the Chang'an soldiers bloodless. And Lu Budi's young son is still young, and it is impossible for him to have the ability to \/preside over the overall situation. As long as Lu Bu dies, it is inevitable that Chang'an will fall apart.

But at this moment, suddenly a young general broke into the county guard mansion in a panic, and the young general shouted loudly while running: "Oh no, no, Yecheng has been breached." Oh no. ”

Cao Cao looked at the junior general in disbelief as if he had been devoured by thunder, stepped forward and grabbed the junior general: "What did you say?" ”

"Zhang Yan, Montenegro Zhang Yan broke out of the siege, attacked the city along the road, and has captured Chaoge, and is leading tens of thousands of Montenegrin thieves from the Black Mountain to attack Yecheng." The youngster was at a loss, and it was obvious that he was in a panic.

Cao Cao's face instantly turned pale. This is the drawback of two-front operations, Lu Bu not only fought on two fronts, but also intervened in Xichuan, how did he command the three-front operations? Could it be that if the generals are allowed to play freely, isn't Lu Bu afraid that the soldiers will rebel with a heavy army?

"Where's Gao Yan? What about the besieged reinforcements? Cao Cao roared heartbreakingly.

"The war in Keiguan is not good. Chang'an General Zhang Liao launched a fierce attack on Jiguan, and when Jiguan was broken, General Cao Ren mobilized all troops in Hanoi to support. Therefore, Zhang Yan had to get away. ”

"Poof."

Cao Cao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the strategists around him who were closest to him were obviously stupid, and when Cao Cao slammed on the floor with a bang, no one supported him.

"Come back and save Yedu!" Several guards stepped forward to help Cao Cao up, and at the same time opened their mouths to shout in Cao Cao's place.

"Pull it out and kill it." Cao Cao struggled and pointed to a few guards who were indiscriminately passing his orders. These guards were newly promoted after Xu Chu's death. Worried about the Yecheng family, he dared to encroach on Cao Cao and pass on orders.

"Prime Minister, what should I do now?" As the mastermind of the land, Cheng Yu suddenly felt a catastrophe and had no idea.

"Do what you have to do. It's not that the capital of my Han Dynasty has not been broken by the army of Lu thieves. What panic? As long as Lu Bu dies, he can still turn defeat into victory. It was originally planned! Cao Cao steadied his mind and said. It's just a dull pain in my forehead.

"Abandon Wancheng immediately. Due to the ban on music into Li Dian led the headquarters of the personal guards, and all levels of the army of the generals and guards around Lushan to form a supervising team, after our army retreated to Lushan, if the soldiers did not respect the general's orders, did not listen to the command, wanted to break and escape, found a person, cut the whole team, the whole team fled, cut the team, a song escaped, cut the marching Sima! "Cao Cao issued the first harsh military order since he led his troops.

Now he can obey the command, and there are still some military hearts left only to follow him to the south and the north of the battlefield, and the direct subordinates of a few henchmen and generals in the territory. Cao Cao was afraid that giving the order to retreat at this time would really cause a confrontation and the whole army would flee.

Lushan was a good place, and Cao Cao decided to lure Lü Bu's army here.

"Order Yan Xing Youzhou cavalry to return to Yecheng. Head north right now. ”

The unfavorable war in the rear at least had a certain favorable factor for Cao Cao. At least when he retreats, Lu Bu will not beware of fraud. Luring enemy troops into ambushes may be greatly enhanced if they succeed.

Cao Cao used harsh methods and passed on all kinds of harsh military methods in the army. During the great retreat, there were still too many Cao soldiers who fled. When the soldiers heard that the army of Chang'an North Road had attacked Yecheng, countless Jizhou civil and military officials, miscellaneous generals, worried about the old and young in the family, flocked to the city gate together, and in a short period of time, more than 200,000 people were congested in the east and north of the city.

How could so many people pass through the narrow city gate, and the chariots, grain, grass and horses pulled from the rear blocked the city gate at once, and even the supervising field soldiers were stuck in the middle, unable to advance or retreat.

The supervising team raised and fell in the crowd, regardless of the civil and military, the family was poor, as long as they did not listen to the command, they would be crowded at the city gate and cut people indiscriminately.

The Hebei miscellaneous soldiers were afraid of the Chang'an soldiers, but they were not afraid of the civil and military officials in the middle. When he was bloodily suppressed by the Overseers, he couldn't care about anything else, and he raised his spear and broadsword to slash at the Overseers around him. Suddenly, blood filled the sky. It was impossible to distinguish who was in the overseers and who were the rebel soldiers, and more and more soldiers wielded spears and broadswords to hack to death those who stood in front of them. Not only could the Overseer team not stop it, but it became the fuse for the bombing of the camp.

At this time, if you want to survive, it depends on who has the weapon in your hand, who is more courageous, and who rushes out of the city first. The screams were followed by a bloody rain.

"Kill!"

Finally, Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore, and when he drove his horse to the city gate, after seeing this scene, with a wave of his wrist, a column of crossbow-wielding soldiers stepped forward to clean up the soldiers who created chaos in front. Whether it was dropping their weapons and kneeling on the side of the road, or soldiers who were killing people in blood, rows of heavy crossbows made a thudding sound.

The chaos under the city gate was all killed, and the streets of the city gate were densely packed with a thick layer of corpses, and slimy blood clots converged into a river, which gathered along the street from the east and north gates to the south gate. The whole Wancheng smells fishy and soars into the sky.

In a short period of time, only 80,000 soldiers and horses remained in Cao's army of more than 200,000.

Cao Cao bloodily suppressed the soldiers, and the miscellaneous soldiers in Hebei trembled when they saw Cao Cao's carriage, and no one dared to disobey the general's order.

Lü Bu led his army to Anzhong, and Yan Xing had already led the cavalry to abandon the city. Lu Bu also received good news from Hanoi. Zhang Liao led the army to suppress Cao Ren's army in all aspects, and Zhang Yan also broke free from the siege and was killed by the Black Mountain soldiers to Yecheng. At the same time, Zhang Yan cut off the supply of military supplies to Cao Ren's army.

When he saw that An Zhong was left with only an empty city, Xu Shu asserted: "Cao Cao is going back to the rear to preside over the battle!" Speed up the march, Hugh asked Cao Cao to flee back to Hebei! ”

"The more this time, the more you can't panic." Cao Cao is not dead, Lu Bu is still jealous. The northern front only achieved a small victory, and Lu Bu did not dare to be arrogant and complacent in front of Cao Cao: "Give up the favorable battle situation in Hebei and order Zhang Liao to go south to intercept Cao Cao!" ”

"No!" Fu Zhu jumped up and objected: "Ming Gong wants to exchange the entire victory of Hebei for Cao Cao's head? ”

"I don't feel a loss by exchanging the entire land of Hebei for Cao Cao alone." Lu Bu said solemnly.

"The general is inevitably looking too highly at Cao Cao. This is not only a victory in Hebei, as long as General Zhang Liao leads his army south, Cao Ren's army loses containment, and the favorable situation of our army will immediately change. Cao Ren's army will definitely have the river to advance east and west and attack our army Feng Yi. And Cao Ren's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are out of control, not only Feng Yi will change hands, but also Beidi, Fufeng, Anding and other places. At the same time, Chang'an was cut off from Yongliang. At worst, the result is that our army is left with only Chang'an and Hanzhong. Xu Shu's face was more angry than ever.

"In exchange for Cao Cao's life with all the territory, I will not feel a loss. As long as Cao Cao dies, these lands can be fought back again. Ben has made up his mind! Lu Bu said firmly.
