In the castle lord's mansion.

Cao Cao sat on the main seat, smiling and heroic.

Thanks to Cao Ang's blessing, he already has 40,000 elite soldiers, of which 6,000 are Cao Ang's elites, respectively, 1,000 of the first dead soldiers, led by Liao Hua; The 5,000-strong bear camp was led by Le Jin and Hao Zhao.

Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Yanzhou Governor Wan Qian, Chen Gong and others sat on one side, and Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and others sat on the other side, looking full of talents.

Cao Cao didn't answer, just looked around, there were friends from afar, and he was very happy!

Bao Xin was a loyal supporter of Cao Cao when he was in the Eighteenth Road Alliance, and believed that Cao Cao must be the one who pacified the troubled times.

He arched his hand and said: "Everyone, please listen to me, Lord Liu Dai of Yanzhou Mu died unfortunately for the crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves, and the current thief army is known as as 300,000, which can be described as menacing. The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and we in Yanzhou are too, and we must jointly nominate a person of high moral integrity to serve as the pastor of Yanzhou. I don't know what you think? ”

Bao Xin consulted with Wan Qian, Chen Gong and others, and decided to nominate Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou, which was also the reason why they came to the Dongjun Mansion.

Today's deliberation is just a formality. Otherwise, when he arrived at Cao Cao's territory and chose someone else as the state pastor, it was still a question of whether he could get out alive.

"The palace thinks that Lord Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, has experience in governing Yanzhou, and has tens of thousands of soldiers, so he is the best candidate for Yanzhou pastor." Chen Gong said loudly.

To be honest, he didn't like Cao Cao, he had seen Cao Cao slash Lu Bohao's family, but the situation forced him to do so.

The Yellow Turban Army is powerful, and if it is not suppressed by the elite army, it will soon become a prairie fire, and it will not be able to control it at all.

At present, Bao Xin and Cao Cao are in the same position, and Cao Cao does have the strength to fight with the Yellow Turban Army.

"Unsolicited second." The state official Wan Qian also praised him: "Cao Gong deserves it!" ”

Cao Ang smiled and asked, "How can Cao Mou be virtuous, it's not appropriate to be able to hold this position high, right?" ”

He only pretended to refuse, and waited for Bao Xin's continued pleading. What's more, he still has the emperor's holy will in hand, and he doesn't want to take it out yet. He felt that only by taking the entire territory of Yanzhou was a good time to come up with the holy decree.

Sure enough, Bao Xin continued: "Please also ask Cao Gong to ascend to the position of state pastor as soon as possible. ”

Everyone seconded: "Please also ask Cao Gong to ascend to the position of state pastor as soon as possible." ”

"Since that's the case, then Cao is disrespectful." Cao Angxi smiled and nodded in agreement: "By the way, how is the thief army now?" ”

"The thief army is about to go south from Jinan and send troops to Dongpingguo." Bao Xin understands the situation most clearly: "I think we should set up an ambush in Dongping Guoshou and defeat the thief army in one fell swoop." ”

Cao Ang looked at Cheng Yu again and asked, "Why does the military advisor think so?" ”

"The terrain of Shouzhang is dangerous, as long as we occupy a favorable position, we can stop the thief army." Cheng Yu continued: "If you want to defeat the thief army, you have to set up a strange ambush and fight day and night, so that the thief army is terrified and has no respite. ”

"Good!" Cao Cao and Bao Xin applauded at the same time and decided to set off tomorrow.

At this time, Cao Ang was still on the way south, and Cao Cao decided to order Xiahoudun and Xun Yu to lead 10,000 troops, including Cao Ang's 6,000 men and horses, to stay in Dongjun; The remaining 30,000 horses, plus Bao Xin's 5,000 men and horses, drove mightily to Shouzhang in Dongping Kingdom.

Shou Zhang.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin led a thousand soldiers and horses to explore the terrain, Cao Hong accompanied him, and Cao Ren led a large army to suppress the rear.

It is close to Wenshui in the north, with mountains and dangerous roads, and it is indeed only suitable for a small number of troops to march, so it is a good place to set up an ambush.

Cao Cao smiled: "Yuncheng, the ambush here is very good!" ”

Bao Xin looked at each other and smiled: "Yes, the meritorious achievement is here!" It's been a long time since we've played side by side. ”

"Yes! This battle will break the army of thieves! A draw with Yanzhou! Cao Cao laughed, in a good mood.

"Lord, something is wrong!" Cao Hong said anxiously.

"What's the matter with Zilian?" Cao Cao glared at Cao Hong, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

"According to the scouts, we are surrounded by tens of thousands of thieves." Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said.

"Why didn't we find out before we came?" Cao Cao asked angrily, "From which side did you break through?" ”

"The scouts have checked before, but the mountains are deep and the forests are dense, and the thief army is relatively hidden." Cao Hong said: "At present, our army of ion filial piety is still several miles away, so it is better for us to break through to the west. ”

"No, let's go east!" Cao Cao thought for a moment in his heart, and quickly said: "The enemy is coming from the east, they would never have thought that we would dare to go east." ”

"Yes, my lord." Cao Hong gathered his men and began to break through to the east.

"Kill Cao Cao! Kill Bao Xin! ”

Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops emerged from the mountains and forests and surrounded Cao Cao's 1,000 men and horses from all directions.

They seemed to have gotten the news in advance, and set up an ambush in a dangerous place, wanting to kill Cao Cao and Bao Xin by surprise.

"Kill me!" Cao Cao pulled out his waist knife and shouted, and his morale was instantly boosted.

"Rush out with me!" Cao Hong held a spear in his hand, led more than a dozen horsemen, and protected Cao Cao and Bao Xin in the middle.

The rest were all foot soldiers, and they spread their feet and followed. If you don't run quickly, you will only die on the battlefield.

Cao Hong and the others were still one step slower, surrounded by tens of thousands of thieves, and began a bloody battle.

Cao Cao has fought countless dangerous and vicious battles, but this battle, he feels that it is extremely dangerous. No matter what, you must live.

Although the Cao army fought bravely, the heroes could not stand the large number of people, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were not as weak as before, but like tigers, they did not care about the tragic death of their companions, and they were all killed without fear of death.

Although they are not elite soldiers, they are not afraid of death, and often people risk death in front to drag the Cao soldiers, and there are Yellow Turban soldiers behind to kill the Cao soldiers who cannot draw their weapons.

"Zilian, kill me!" Cao Cao looked around, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army surrounded his army like a tide, and they were setting off a stormy wave, pressing on his own army, which was getting fewer and fewer people.

The situation is dangerous!

"Kill!"

Cao Hong completely burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and the spear in his hand danced impenetrably, which was worthy of killing a bloody path several meters long.

If the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army had encountered such a fierce general before, they would have fled long ago. But the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who came today had a fierce look in their eyes, brandished all kinds of weapons and rushed towards the most powerful Cao Hong, and beckoned him everywhere around him.

"Poof!" Cao Hong only felt that the war horse had been stabbed several times, and the whole person fell from the standing horse to the ground, still fighting.

You must kill yourself! Cao Cao must not die!

Cao Cao brandished his waist knife and slashed several approaching Yellow Turban soldiers one after another, and he also regretted it in his heart: he would not have taken this risk if he had known.
