Changan!

It used to be the capital of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, and it witnessed the wind and rain of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and was known as the first strong city in the world. Now, war is on the horizon again.

Since Lu Bu fled a year ago, and the two thieves Li Dao and Guo Yan occupied Chang'an, the people of Chang'an have not had a day of comfort.

In the huge city of Chang'an, it was first filled by hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people who were burned by Dong Zhuo and Luoyang, and now it was forcibly stuffed into 200,000 Xiliang iron horsemen, making the population in this ancient city infinitely close to saturation.

Originally, when there was no war, it could barely be supported, after all, Li Dao and Guo Yan were crazy and the two thieves knew that killing chickens and eggs was the way to take death, and for the ministers and civilians in this city, although there were Xiliang soldiers bullying and oppressing innocent people every day, it was almost endless, but because of the millions of stone grain stored by Dong Zhuo, who had not had time to be burned by Lu Bu in Meiwu in the west of the city, he did not do too much to seize the people's livelihood, although the city was unstable, it could barely be called stable.

It's a pity that the way of heaven is impermanent, first of all, the Central Plains is drought, and the Yongliang land is also affected, plus Li Guo and the two thieves are only the generals of the army, and they don't care about the people's livelihood and political affairs.

At this time, Ma Teng and Han Sui came to borrow grain because of the bitter cold in Liangzhou and the Qiang trouble, and Li Guo and the two thieves categorically refused, so they simply raised the banner of saving the Son of Heaven and the thief, and brazenly came to attack Chang'an.

Li Dao and others, who were the generals of Dong Zhuojun's army at the beginning, were also proficient in military strategy. At first, he didn't take into account the tens of thousands of Qiang and Han soldiers under the command of Ma Han and those with low morale, anyway, there was enough food in Chang'an City, so why waste troops in vain? Just thinking about blocking messages. Sticking to Chang'an, after the Ma and Han duo, who came because of lack of food, ran out of food, they would naturally retreat and leave, or even collapse without attacking.

But what Li Guo and the others didn't expect was that although they blocked the news channel from Chang'an City, which was located in the center of the Han Dynasty, to the four directions, it still attracted Cao Cao, who had become famous in the battle of the Kwantung princes to defeat Dong Zhuo, and was already the pastor of Yanzhou in the Han Dynasty. Originally, the two of them were controlled by 200,000 Xiliang Iron Riders. did not take Cao Cao, who only had more than 20,000 soldiers and most of them infantry, in his eyes, and the cavalry was originally the nemesis of the foot soldiers. The ratio of troops to strength is ten to one, and in the hearts of Li Guo's two thieves, this Cao Mengde is the resurrection of Sun Wu and the reincarnation of Sui Ju, and he can't bargain for anything under his own forces that have an absolute advantage in Jiancheng, Daguan, and military strength.

But Li Guo and the second thief never thought of it. Cao Mengde, who was born after this eunuch, actually has two brushes. It was not as expected to take the nearest path from Yanzhou to Chang'an, eastward Wancheng crossed the Wuguan Pass and went north, and attacked Chang'an through Jingzhao, but it was unexpectedly detoured, personally led the troops out of the direction of Luoyang, the "waste capital", and followed the traces of Dong Zhuo who coerced the people of Luoyang to fill Chang'an, and hid his tracks all the way, not only taking advantage of the situation to uproot Yang Feng and Han Xian who were estranged because of the secret dispute between Li and Guo Yan. Unexpectedly, he pursued the strategy of supplying on the spot and nourishing the war with war, not only won the general Xu Huang. Even under the several rounds of collecting and surrendering troops, even the strength of the army has expanded to more than 40,000 people, and it was not until it reached the Tongguan Pass that it was noticed by Fan Chou, the general of the Xiliang Army who was ordered to guard the pass, and they were glued together.

"Lord, Tan Ma Lai reported, Yuan Benchu's horse infantry 70,000, since the ten days before the army out of Hanoi, has crossed the big river the day before yesterday, into the territory of Sili, its forward Hebei general Yan Liang led 10,000 cavalry, did not set foot in Yanzhou, straight to Chang'an, from our army is only less than two days away!" This time, Cao Cao took Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack Chang'an, and the generals only brought the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Yu Ban, and Cao Chun, who was called Cao Jia's Qianli Ju, and others, in addition to Xun You, the mastermind, only Cheng Yu and Mao Yu were entourage, and others such as Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others were left in Yanzhou by Cao Cao, because they were afraid that because of the mobilization of almost all the elites of Yanzhou, their own nest was Yuan Shao, who wanted to pick peaches, or Lu Bu, who had not been able to reassure Cao Cao, took the opportunity to have other "ideas". Even after learning that Yuan Shao, an old friend and ally, he really did not hesitate to tear his face and wanted to snatch the Son of Heaven with his old Cao, and sent Cheng Yu and the new general Xu Huang to make a detour to Qingzhou, just to prevent Yuan Benchu, whose character has always been not very good, in case of a whim, cut off his own back road. Now hearing the news obtained by Xun You's horse exploration, Cao Cao's dark face has become a little contemptuous when he hears the words in the past few months.

"Ha, this old friend! After all, the original is still the original beginning! Cao Su knew that his color was strong and timid, his ambition was big and his wisdom was less, he was jealous and less powerful, there were many soldiers and the division was not clear, and he was arrogant and the government decrees were different, but he didn't expect that since he had experienced the war with Gongsun Zan in Hebei, he had not grown at all! In the military tent, Cao Cao didn't seem to be worried about Yuan Shao coming behind the army, and said to Xun You, who was standing respectfully, with a smile: "In the past, when Wen Ruo came to join the exercise from the beginning, he once commented that Yuan Benchu did great things and spared his life, and he died when he saw small profits, which is really thorough. With such a good opportunity to win Yanzhou, I turned a blind eye, only caring about being a few months late, worried that the Son of Heaven would be waited for by me, so I rushed to join in the fun. If it is a certain one, it must take advantage of the emptiness of Yanzhou to cut off its back road first, so that its lone army hangs under the 200,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, without help and no food, dare to save it and wait for work, and ambush it halfway, then there is no Cao Mengde in the world! ”

"Yuan Shaoqi has won the hearts of the people with generosity, if there is another plan of the lord, I am afraid that the result will be the same as the lord's words, and there will be no home!" Xun You first agreed with Cao Cao's sentence, his face was even more wooden, and he said: "It's just that Yuan Shao came under his command this time, and there are wise and resourceful people such as Fu Zhu and Tian Feng for his wings, and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Gao Gan and other generations are their minions, and the cavalry and Jizhou elite soldiers are twice as strong as our army, and with the power of the previous big victory, the army is excited, the combat power is high, and the lord cannot underestimate the enemy!" ”

"What Gongda said is very true! There are upright people such as Xun Gongda who are the masterminds by the side of Cao, and it is expected that this trip will be worry-free! will definitely be able to successfully save the Son of Heaven from the head of the thief, and obey the Son of Heaven to order not to surrender! ZTE Dahan! Cao Cao was not annoyed by Xun You's disappointing words, but showed a smile that doubled his confidence, and said: "Cao Cao's young friend Yuan Benchu is very resourceful, although the land is vast, although the food is abundant, and although there are many soldiers, it is just trying his best for the big thing in vain, and it is not enough to make Cao take it to heart." ”

"That's what the lord said!" Xun You also stayed in Luoyang City before, when Cao Cao was not yet the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, Xun You was recruited into the palace because he was promoted to filial piety and served as a waiter of the Yellow Gate. He also has a good understanding of the "deeds" of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and if he talks about the understanding of Yuan Shao in Cao Jun, there is indeed no one who can be the right of Cao Cao. Said at the moment.

"By the way, is there any news from Qingzhou? Counting the time, Zhongde and Gongming should have been in Linzi for more than half a month, and I don't know if Ang'er can handle the relationship with Qingzhou this time! That Qin Zhongming kid, don't look at his age, he is not a good match! Cao Cao stood up and stretched, hammered his head with a bamboo slip, and forced a little smile and said: "This time Yuan Shao can use the plan of connecting Qingzhou to force a certain army to retreat, it must be the plan of his subordinates Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others, but unfortunately Yuan Benchu can listen to it but can't use it, and he thinks very highly of himself, and Lu Bu has Qin Xu by his side, the kid has never been willing to suffer, and he must be able to see through this strategy to devour the wolf, and looking at today's battle report, he must have not gotten anything good in Qingzhou, and Lu Bu is lucky...... Hiss ......"

"The lord is tired all day long, but he still has to focus on his body!" Xun You knew that Cao Cao had this old headache, so although he saw that Cao Cao didn't care much about Yuan Shaolai's move of "grabbing meat to eat", he also knew that Cao Cao was worried about Cao Ang in Qingzhou under the pretext of worrying about Cao Ang in Qingzhou, but he was also worried about the pass that could not be attacked at the moment, so he persuaded: "As for the matter of Qingzhou, the posture of the eldest prince is a heavenly man, with Zhongde, Gongming and other wise and brave people on his side, and it is rumored that he has a very good personal education with Qin Xu, so he must be able to ......."

"Mengde, Ang'er! Zixiu! Just as Xun You was thinking about what words to use to persuade Cao Cao, who had been under a lot of "mental pressure" in the past few months, he suddenly saw Cao Ying's general Xiahou Dun rushing in, which could make this always solemn general so happy, although Cao Cao's heart was shocked when he heard Cao Ang's name rashly, but he still patiently listened to Xiahou Dian's report.

"Meng De, Mr. Wen Ruo sent an urgent letter saying that Zixiu had left Qingzhou and returned to Chenliu under the escort of Gongming and others, but he did not stay, and said ...... I have to take Qin Xu's help, which will help me Yanzhou break Yuan Shao's clever plan to grab the merit, and I am coming here soon, and I will come soon, and I will uphold the lord in person! Xiahoudun is Cao Cao's young friend, and they are related to each other, they are the most popular generals, and they are Cao Ang's martial arts master, and they are overjoyed, until they finished the news that they realized that they had lost their manners in front of Xun You, but they still said with a smile on their faces.

"Zixiu is coming to Chang'an? Good! It is worthy of being the children and grandchildren of my Cao family, who have courage, and I was always worried that he would grow up under the wings of us, and he has always been gentle and docile, and he is extremely tired of killing, but he didn't expect that these two trips to Qingzhou have become sensible. Cao Cao heard the news that Cao Ang, his precious son Cao Ang, who had never liked war, took the initiative to come to Chang'an, and he was stunned at first, and the book that had been smashing his head was also thrown to the ground by Lao Cao, and the headache actually had a tendency to be reduced a lot.

"Herald! Today, the whole army will have a meal, so that the sergeants will have a full meal and go to the front of the pass to scold the battle! I want to see that this Fan Chou was once a general of the Xiliang Army, but he still hung the war-free card for so long with a male soldier in his hand, but he still has the face to continue to hang up. It also makes my son see the majesty of his father! Cao Cao put the bamboo slip in his hand on the table in the account and said with a laugh. (To be continued......)
