On the fifth day of the eighth month of autumn, just as Hua Fei's army had won the first battle in Nanzhong and a large number of winter materials from various places began to carry northward along the river, Qin Mi was ordered by Hua Fei to leave Luoyang in the golden autumn and August, and began to go to Xiangyang to negotiate with Liu Biao.

Hua Fei, who was preparing for a rainy day, felt that he didn't have to follow Sima Yi's ideas after looking at the map for a long time, because judging from the map, Luoyang, Hanoi and Nanyang of Liu Biao's army,

However, Cao Cao's forces have formed a situation of attacking on three sides, if he can say that he can move Liu Biao to let him set up a heavy army in Nanyang, and his own army is riding in Hanoi, then Cao Cao will definitely be divided into troops to resist because of the enemy on both sides.

At this time, the self-army that had successfully researched the siege weapon - trebuchet could give Cao Cao a surprise use of trebuchet to blast open the pass, and then use the iron horse to break through the Yuzhou Plain from the middle road to Xuchang.

How will Cao Cao, who is almost all infantry, deal with the iron cavalry charge of his own army? At that time, Cao Cao will inevitably be in danger when he is difficult to take care of the beginning and end and the middle lane is directly inserted by himself.

And he can take the opportunity to take the control of the Son of Heaven, and even work with Liu Biao to eliminate the Cao Cao forces that are always mischievous with himself, isn't it beautiful?

Of course, all this is only Hua Fei's preliminary idea, and the specific situation will not be able to secretly mobilize the army until the South Central is pacified and the border is unhindered and Liu Biao agrees with this idea.

As for whether Liu Biao will agree, Hua Fei thinks that there is still a great chance of agreeing, because if Cao Cao is not destroyed, he Liu Biao will always be in the gap between Sun Ce and Cao Cao, so how uncomfortable it will be.

Therefore, Hua Fei immediately after Qin Mi's departure, in order not to attract Cao Cao's attention, ordered the Chang'an troops who had not yet had time to set off to temporarily stop their actions and maintain the status quo.

He also ordered people to set off from Luoyang under their own banner, and returned to Chang'an with great momentum along the way, but ordered Pang Tong to secretly take charge of Chang'an City, and moved Ma Chao, Xu Chu and Jiang Yan and other armies in batches, all dressed up and secretly rushed to Luoyang City to listen to orders.

As for Luoyang, Hua Fei ordered Zhang Ren to come forward to arrange everything, while dividing the locations of the garrisons into a number of forbidden areas, and ordering the powerful sergeants to patrol day and night to strictly guard the places where the troops were secretly stationed;

On the other hand, he secretly prepared a large number of siege equipment, thinking that it would come from the army to go out of Luoyang.

The Ganning Naval Army, which was stationed in Wenxian on the north bank of the Yellow River, was ordered to attack Cao Cao's naval army in training, which could make Cao Cao's army have no time to train, and second, it could attract Cao Cao's attention to cover the various units of the self-army that were secretly operating.

Later, Hua Fei even communicated with Jia Xu, and after obtaining Jia Xu's consent, he secretly transferred the two cavalry of Yan Xing and Pang De to Hanoi to the south, preparing to attack Cao Cao with his own Chinese army stationed in Luoyang City.

As Hua Fei's orders were issued, the troops under his command acted according to the orders without mentioning their own actions.

On the morning of the seventh day of the eighth month of autumn, Gan Ning led Gan Chi and other sailors down the river to release the boat like flying, and brazenly launched a surprise attack on the training Yu Ban Department, and the half bucket of water in Yu Ban suffered heavy losses.

Yu Ban hurriedly asked Xia Houdun, who was in charge of Yanzhou affairs in Cao Jun, for help, and Xia Houdun was shocked!

In his heart, he only thought that this was the prelude to Hua Fei's army preparing to invade Yanzhou, so he rushed to the south bank of the Yellow River with his strong bows, preparing to use sharp arrows to help Ban against Gan Ning;

At the same time, he ordered people to gallop to Xuchang on fast horses to report to Cao Cao about the war in Yanzhou.

Unexpectedly, when he led the army to the south bank of the Yellow River, he saw that Gan Ning was taking a small victory and returning triumphantly against the current.

Seeing this, the empty self-led army ran out of breath, and the summer was furious, and he was furious, and he ordered the forbidden speed to lead the sailors to chase after him.

However, after seeing the dragon spirit and tiger fierce in Gan Ning's department, the newly trained water army was definitely not an opponent, and it had already become a frightened bird in his heart, and he did not dare to lead the army to pursue in any way.

After Xia Houdun's anger subsided, he also knew that based on the three-legged cat kung fu that had not been trained by his army for a long time, it was really a self-defeating act to compete with Gan Ning's hundred-battle water army on the Yellow River, and he had no choice but to lead the army back.

Unexpectedly, Gan Ning was like a naughty boy who had tasted the sweetness, and he even harassed the forbidden department from time to time when he let the shipowner enter, and even played the trick of the enemy coming and retreating and the enemy walking and me entering.

Only a person who didn't dare to go into the water was so angry that the eggs were almost broken, and after two days of unbearable disturbance, Xia Houdun simply ordered the army to camp on the spot and only waited for Gan Ning to come again.

Unexpectedly, Gan Ning changed his approach of attacking Cao Cao's navy, and instead went down the north bank of the Yellow River to attack the hinterland of Yanzhou, where Xia Houdun's troops were empty.

It was a big river with a few fireworks, which made Xia Houdun, who was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died three liters of blood.

Fortunately, Cao Cao of Xuchang hurriedly sent the fast-marching Xia Houyuan's troops to come to help after receiving the report, and ordered the only remaining cavalry of Zhang Liao's troops to enter Yanzhou.

According to Guo Jia's plan, Xia Houdun set up a sentry along the river, and set up a high-rise sentry tower every kilometer to send people to investigate the movements of Ganning's department.

So that the army stationed in the rear could quickly rush to the accident site at a straight distance at any time, so that Yanzhou could be restored to peace.

At this time, Luoyang City, which was secretly controlled by Hua Fei, also ushered in, pretending to be Xu Chu's department who was secretly sneaking as a coal man.

On the 13th of August in the autumn, the second army of Ma Chao also entered Luoyang City with the caravan.

On August 15, Jiang Hong's troops successfully arrived at their destination safely, and at the same time, Yan Xing's troops were stationed in Huai County, and Pang De's troops were stationed in Yewang, and all the troops of Huafei arrived according to the order.

And Zhang Ren also came to report that the elite craftsmen sent by Ma Jun and Pu Yuan had assembled more than ten trebuchets in the forbidden area, and all kinds of siege equipment were ready, and as long as Hua Fei gave an order, they could be put into use immediately.

Wang Chang, who was temporarily sent by Hua Fei to be responsible for the transfer of grain and grass, also reported that the two months of military rations that the armies needed to bring had been fully transferred.

At that time, Luoyang and Hanoi, which gathered hundreds of thousands of troops such as Xu Chu, Zhang Ren, Ma Chao, Gan Ning, Pang De, and Yan Xing, formed a situation in which Cao Cao's army in Yan and Henan was ready for everything, and only waited for Liu Biao's east wind.

On the 16th day of the eighth month of the autumn and August, Hua Fei sent an order to Gan Ning because of the imminent event, asking him to pretend that he would lead his army to return to the Great Lake of Chang'an for training because winter was approaching and the Yellow River was about to freeze, so that the extremely nervous Cao army could relax.
