The New Han army sent troops from Tiger Pass, and the first thing was to impact Cao Cao's territory of power.

Although he had just signed a non-aggression pact with Cao Cao, Liu Yi did not rule out whether Cao Cao would be annoyed and angry if he provoked Cao Cao first, and whether he would send troops to fight his own military horses.

Of course, when he signed a non-aggression pact with Cao Cao, Cao Cao also said that he would not participate in the New Han Dynasty's attack on Yuan Shao. But now, Cao Cao openly received Guo Tu, the envoy sent by Yuan Shao. In this, or it can be used to make a fuss. Therefore, Liu Yi immediately made a decision and sent Xu Zhu to lead 50,000 cavalry troops to quickly attack some Yellow River crossings that belonged to Cao Cao's army, and test Cao Cao's attitude towards the New Han army's departure from the Tiger Pass.

If Cao Cao really colluded with Yuan Shao, then Cao Cao would most likely take advantage of the fact that the New Han army attacked his Huangdukou, and would resolutely wave his army to attack him. But if Cao Cao ignored it and allowed his military horses to seize the Yellow River crossing that belonged to him, then it proved that Cao Cao should not want to tear up the agreement yet, and he had to swallow his anger for the time being.

To be honest, Liu Yi didn't think that Cao Cao would tear up the agreement with him because of his New Han army's exit from the Tiger Prison Pass and the seizure of his three or so Yellow River crossings.

"My lord, the last general thinks that we may be able to take the initiative now and send someone to negotiate with Cao Cao. For example, we sent troops from the Tiger Prison Pass, which was just a way to go, so that Cao Cao could either be given a step down, or we could also knock Cao Cao on the side and ask Cao Cao what it meant to meet Yuan Shao's envoy Guo Tu. "Li Ling waited for Zhu to receive orders. After the army left the customs, he said to Liu Yiti.

After hearing this, Liu Yi shook his head slightly. smiled and said, "General Li Ling, what you think is just a cautious approach. However, there is no need for us to actively seek a dialogue with Cao Cao. The facts are above, and there are many things that both of us know very well, and there is no need to be too clear. How could he Cao Cao not know. I, Liu Yi, sent troops from the Tiger Prison Pass, just to borrow the way, how could I really attack his territory of power? In this matter. I believe that Cao Cao will not send someone to negotiate with us. Because, at this time, whoever sends an envoy to negotiate first means that there is cowardice in someone's heart first. It's like. Cao Cao, who he wants to see. What's the matter with us? Why should we be so sensitive, and have to find out who Cao Cao met and who will influence us? Hehe, anyway, that's the sentence, as long as our New Han Dynasty is strong, and our passes to defend Luoyang are as stable as gold, then, our New Han Dynasty will not be afraid to go to war with anyone. Even. Cao Cao is now attacking us, and we only have troops to block us. Water to cover! ”

"The Admiral understands." After Li Ling heard this, his face was a little hot, and sometimes, even he felt a little too cautious. Of course, for some aspects that affect the general trend of the world, Li Ling still lacks a little vision.

"However, my lord, this time we sent troops from the Tiger Prison Pass to attack Yuan Shao, no matter what, the last general thinks that the lord should be more cautious. As the so-called hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. Even if Yuan Shao has been beaten by us now, he still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and in the heart of the last general, he always feels that Yuan Shao is now trapped in one place, but he has so many troops under his command, does the lord's plan to attack Hanoi this time need to be seriously considered? Li Ling turned to look a little worried about Liu Yi's attack on Hanoi this time.

"Well, this, it will depend on the situation, General Li Ling should not worry too much." Liu Yi nodded, thinking that Li Ling's worries were not untargeted, Liu Yi never thought that he had already eaten Yuan Shao, and naturally had a certain vigilance against Yuan Shao in his heart.

It is precisely because Liu Yi has a certain vigilance against Yuan Shao that he will wait in Luoyang, and the new Han army in three aspects, such as the first rank, can put pressure on Yuan Shao to see if he can make Yuan Shao mess up. If Yuan Shao was in a mess because he was attacked from three sides, and let his own New Han Army break through Yuan Shao's defense line on one side, then Yuan Shao really had only one dead end.

If Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Gongsun Zan and other New Han armies were able to break through Yuan Shao's northern defense line, then there was no need for Liu Yi to venture across the Yellow River to attack Hanoi County. Therefore, a qiē, Liu Yi thinks that it depends on the situation.

Now, Liu Yi has vaguely felt that he wants to sneak across and attack the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, and he is afraid that it is impossible to do it in disguise. It's not the early days before the Heroes rise up. Today's princes, they have developed to the present, everyone should pay special attention to the work of intelligence, and their military horses are bound to be hidden from Yuan Shao's spies. Therefore, Liu Yi felt that in the end, he might have to forcibly attack the Yellow River crossing on the north bank of the Yellow River.

In fact, Liu Yi is now sending troops from the Tiger Prison Pass, if Yuan Shao learns this information, he estimates that he will increase his troops in Hanoi, and it is impossible for Yuan Shao not to pay attention to Hanoi County. If Yuan Shao once increased his troops in Hanoi and was wary of crossing the Yellow River to attack Hanoi, then it would inevitably make the defense lines around Quang Binh and Yangping insufficient, and at that time, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other generals would have an opportunity.

It can be said that Liu Yi can now be used as the direction of the main attack, but it can also be used as an action to contain Yuan Shao's troops. Whether or not to really cross the Yellow River and attack Hanoi depends on the movement of Yuan Shao's army and horses.

Liu Yi, Li Ling, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals were drinking a little wine while waiting for Xu Zhu's report. The two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, were so anxious that they kept scratching their heads, and asked Liu Yi for orders many times, asking them to lead the army to fight and help Xu Zhu.

However, Liu Yi naturally will not let them lead the army to fight again, there is no such need, unless, now Cao Cao also waved his army to attack, otherwise, Liu Yi believes that Xu Zhu's 50,000 cavalry is enough to capture Cao Cao's Yellow River crossing.

After waiting for about an hour or two, it was already dark.

A fast horse returned from outside the Tiger Prison Pass and delivered Xu Zhu's battle report.

The Yellow River crossing closest to the Tiger Prison Pass was actually only twenty or thirty miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and as soon as Xu Zhu's army arrived, Cao Cao's army guarding the ferry did not react at all, and in an instant, they were killed and captured by Xu Zhu's military horses. According to the inventory, the crossing of the Yellow River was only a few hundred Cao soldiers stationed there.

Seeing this, Xu Zhu immediately waved his army along the south bank of the Yellow River, all the way downstream, and captured Cao Cao's three ferries in a row. (To be continued......)
