Cao Hong felt a chill in his heart.

Ambush? The whole line is defeated, how to set up an ambush?

"What? Don't have any soldiers available? Cao Cao pointed to the steady stream of soldiers behind him: "Organize them immediately, do everything possible to ambush in the rear, let go of the pursuing vanguard, and storm the Chinese army!" Buy me a moment to cross the river. ”

Cao Hong did not dare to disobey the order, took the tiger and leopard cavalry, and killed the rout from east to west all the way to 20 miles away, and did not know how many soldiers were killed.

The miscellaneous soldiers trembled and crouched on both sides of the mountain pass, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

Among the defeated Cao army, there was no shortage of elites who fled in rout, wrapped in miscellaneous soldiers and fled aimlessly to the east. When Lü Meng led the army to chase after him, Cao's soldiers, who could not escape with short legs, disarmed and surrendered. He ordered the captives to be collected and taken back to the camp.

As soon as Lu Meng chased to the mountain pass, the cry in front of him shook the sky.

"There's an ambush!" Lu Meng was startled, forgetting the pain of the fatal wound all over his body, and stopped the army from continuing deeper.

Cao Hong was furious, and his general order was simple and clear, that is, to let this enemy army cross the border, attack and kill the middle of the enemy army, and jump up violently and slash a soldier to death. Gao Shun dared to kill the ineffective soldiers in front of the phalanx, and Lu Bu also dared to kill the ineffective soldiers in front of the formation, and he Cao Hong could also kill him and establish his authority, with the right military law!

"Uh......h Horizontal and vertical is death, we surrender! One of the miscellaneous soldiers dropped his weapon, wiped a handful of tears and burst into tears.

"Surrender, surrender, we are going to surrender!"

Cao Hong couldn't stop it, the number of tiger and leopard riders dropped sharply, and he couldn't control the overall situation for a while, so countless soldiers rushed out of their hiding places and knelt on the avenue to surrender. Suddenly, Cao Hong's toughly gathered ambush soldiers came out and walked away.

"I'm mad at me!" Cao Hongchong immediately stepped forward and slashed at the troops in one place: "Get up, pick up arms and fight!" ”

The soldiers shrank in the snow in horror, their whole body trembled, and they ignored Cao Hongdi's broadsword, and none of the soldiers got up.

"Rush! Rescue the robe. The group of crazy soldiers in the territory of Lu Meng's command saw their previous cowardly shadows from the kneeling Cao Jun, and rushed forward with the sound of tapping their shields.

"Get up and fight side by side to destroy the Cao thief." I don't know that the soldier shouted loudly. The kneeling soldiers rolled over and got up, and launched a bloody revenge on the Cao soldiers who were slaughtering them beside them. The tigers and leopards could not retreat and were dragged off their horses. The tiger and leopard cavalry, including Cao Hong, were completely annihilated.

The troops continued to pursue with the Lü Meng tribe, and more and more Hebei miscellaneous troops turned against each other, mixed into the Lü Meng tribe, and pursued the Cao army.

Lü Meng led a mighty 30,000 or 40,000 Hebei miscellaneous soldiers to the south bank of the Han River, and the Cao army, who was crossing the river, thought it was his own soldiers and horses, and continued to crowd on the pontoon bridge and snatch the boat.

"Kill!" Lu Meng didn't say anything, the tiger's head machete was raised high, and the miscellaneous soldiers behind him burst the embankment and poured out, and went to the Cao soldiers who were crossing the river to cover and kill.

"Are you blind? See clearly, we are Hebei soldiers. "A young general from Hebei scolded and scolded, drinking and stopping the 'miscellaneous soldiers'.

"It's Cao Bing who killed!" The defeated soldiers of the Cao army watched this scene in horror and were completely desperate. The entire riverbank is full of uniform clothing, and it is impossible to distinguish who is the enemy.

"Not good! They have rebelled, run. Seeing that the situation was wrong, a Cao soldier shouted, and did not wait for the pontoon bridge or boat, and rushed directly to the center of the river.

Lü Meng and Yan Yan rushed to the shore and strangled the defeated soldiers of the Cao army all over the mountains. Huang Zhong, Lu Lingqi, Yang Fu, Xu Shu, Lu Bu, etc., arrived on the battlefield one after another. Countless Cao soldiers were unable to return to the sky, rushed into the river to escape in a hurry, and drowned in the icy winter water.

In the first battle of the field, Cao's army lost more than 100,000 people, and Lu Bu's army won a complete victory, with more than 70,000 soldiers in Hebei, weapons and armor piled up, and 10,000 sets of heavy armor. The combat power of the southern front, Lu Cao's two families are in different places, and Cao Cao is in a disadvantageous situation.

Dark clouds of beacon fire enveloped Cao's army, and even Jiangdong, Xichuan, and Jingzhou. Chang'an's military strength is the first in the world, and the world is in turmoil.

"Congratulations to the general, our army is at its peak. Achieve the most powerful force in the world, and the whole world is trembling under the iron hooves of my Chang'an army! Kuai Qi's face was flushed and not all of it had receded, and this battle was exciting and exciting.

Lu Bu did not have a victorious joy on his face, and admonished bitterly: "Cao Cao has raised troops since Chen Liu. swept through the Central Plains and Hebei, how could he easily admit defeat? Don't forget, the former generals also defeated Cao Cao in Chenliu, and Cao Cao desperately broke through to survive. Then Puyang played against him and defeated the general. The battle for Xuzhou also had a chance of winning each other, but in the end, it was a complete defeat and was captured. The battle of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in Huainan, the battle of Cao Liu in Xuzhou, the three defeats of Cao Cao in Wancheng, the battle of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in Guandu, that battle, Cao Cao was not defeated first and then won? Therefore, the princes must not be complacent because of a small victory, if they don't see Cao Cao's head, there will be no peace of mind! ”

"We will remember the teachings of the great general! Don't dare to be careless for a moment. ”

"From today onwards, military generals are not allowed to remove their armor, and scribes are not allowed to go to the bed, give me 120,000 spirits, closely watch all Cao Cao's movements, and dream of Cao Cao's possible tricks!"

Lu Bu's big victory made Lu Bu uneasy, and he paid more and more attention to Cao Cao. Cao Cao is on a desperate road, and his wisdom is immeasurable!

Cao Ying on the North Shore.

Cao Cao had a strong smell of medicinal stones on his body, and sat on the main seat tiredly and sadly: "The original phase is across the Central Plains, sweeping Hebei, only a small defeat, never a big defeat." In the first battle of Jingzhou, the 400,000 army was defeated to the point that only less than 200,000 remnants were defeated. It was difficult for the rear to piece together a main force in a short period of time, and the grain and grass in the Central Plains were scraped away, and the people were exhausted. The rebels on the south coast are eyeing each other, why should they retreat? ”

The full tent was silent, and Cao Cao came to an end more and more, and his ambition was sad. Yan Liangwen was ugly, his jaw was open, Xu Chu and Cao Hong died one by one, and Cao Cao suddenly had a kind of tiredness and despair.

"Prime Minister, I have a plan." Cheng Yu said suddenly.

Cao Cao's eyes were happy, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Cheng Yu's words: "I know that everyone wants to surrender, right?" The prime minister did not want to surrender to the thief, but the situation was stronger than the person, and the prime minister had to bow his head and have to hang the seal and return to the field. ”

Cao Cao suddenly saw that there was a chance to turn the tables, and he was defeated in this battle, and he was seriously suspicious that he did not have a sense of security, and decided to test his generals: "The princes followed me to fight in the south and the north, and the merits were great, I can't bear to be defeated and die, and you will surrender to the thieves with me." ”

Several members of the civil and military staff under the account were very moved, and suddenly, a young talent stepped forward and destroyed Cao Cao's desire to kill people and build authority: "We are loyal to the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister, why is the Prime Minister suspicious?" ”

Cao Cao was furious in his heart, this person was none other than Yang Xiu, the heir of the Yang family, who was extremely smart, Yang Xiu held his own family like the three princes of the Yuan family, and he was disrespectful to Cao Cao, and challenged Cao Cao's authority several times, Cao Cao hated it for a long time, and he had no excuse to kill him. Cao Cao said unhappily: "This will be sincere, why doubt it?" ”

"If the prime minister wants to surrender, why call him a 'thief'?"

Cao Cao was speechless. Cao Cao, who had just gotten on it, was about to come out to cater to the civil and military officials in a cold sweat, and glanced at Yang Xiu gratefully. Cao Cao became more and more angry, gritting his steel teeth with hatred, and he couldn't wait to break Yang Xiu's body into ten thousand pieces, and Cancan smiled: "The new big defeat is a big defeat, so the play is to ease people's hearts." ”

Cao Cao buried his anger against Yang Xiudi in his heart and turned his head to look at Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu immediately connected Cao Cao with embarrassment: "Although our army is defeated, it still holds the camp in the inner countryside, and the road back to Wuguandi in the north is still open." As long as there is a fortification along the river, so that Lu Bu's army cannot cross the river. ”

"The Han River is exhausted, if Lu Bu intercepts the river and builds a dam to cut off the river, the Han River will be self-defeating. The army did not need a drawbridge or a boat to attack it. Xun You, who is good at tactics, suddenly interjected.

Cheng Yu glanced at Xun You angrily, this Xun You didn't make any effort, and he also dismantled his platform, and forced him to quibble: "Lu Bu is not a gentleman, so he may not be able to think of it." ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly sparkled, and he thought of something: "No, Gongda is very reasonable, Lu Bu's subordinates are full of talents, so they may not be able to think of this strategy." However, to this day, Lu Bu really didn't expect to intercept the river and cross the river, and Lu Bu's army appeared on the east bank of the river today, is it a coincidence? Or did Lu Bu see through my plan? Combined with what Gongda said just now, I am sure that Lu Buyi is not in the inner countryside, otherwise he would have thought of how to cross the river a long time ago. ”

"Where?" Cheng Yu Xun Yu asked at the same time.

"Intended for Jingzhou!" Cao Cao said firmly.

"Jingzhou? Liu Biao is about to die, Jingzhou is full of wind and clouds, dragons and snakes are mixed, and all forces are competing with each other. Since Lu Bu intends to be in Jingzhou, I have another plan, which can drive Lu Bu into a tiger, chase a pack of wolves, and the prime minister will sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Cheng Yu plotted again.

"What's the plan?"

"Why don't you send an edict to Jingzhou into Jiangdong, and at the same time the army will withdraw from Fancheng and give it to Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu can fight with the Jiangdong army and the Xiangyang army in Fancheng, and maybe also mobilize the Jingnan army and fight in all directions. The prime minister retreated to Wancheng, and when the Quartet was exhausted, he waved his army south and captured it in a net. Cheng Yu beckoned.

Without waiting for Cao Cao to make a decision, Xun You added: "You don't have to wait for the Quartet to be exhausted. Fancheng, the two cities of Xiangyang are located at the confluence of Han water and Huaishui, there is Xiangshui on the Han water, Danshui intersection, it is very close to the two cities, the water system is developed, the rivers are dense, as long as it is affected by the summer rain, when the river water rises sharply, it is the time when the prime minister destroys the enemy in one fell swoop! ”

Even Guan Yu's generals can see clearly that the unfavorable terrain of Fancheng is flooded by the Seventh Army, not to mention the high-ranking strategists? I just don't want to die. Cao's army was weak, and Xun You had to come up with this poisonous plan.

"Jiangdong has always stationed troops in Chaisang, and has an alliance agreement with Lu Bu, so it is difficult to say that he defected." Cao Cao said worriedly.

"It's easy. Sun Quan was criticized by his subordinates, and he wanted to expand his territory several times and achieve a great cause to block Youyou's mouth. The prime minister only needed an edict, and Sun Quan had to order troops to help. Cheng Yu said confidently.

Cao Cao and Xun You looked at Cheng Yu expectantly, expecting Cheng Yu's plan.
