Liu Bei prepared his army and planned to go north to defeat Cao Cao.

The envoy to Jiangdong had returned to Xudu at this time.

After receiving the messenger's return, Cao Cao's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Asking Sun Quan for a proton is nothing more than coercing Jiangdong with hostages, and after breaking Hebei, he will raise troops to go south, and he can also help in many ways!

Unexpectedly, Sun Quan ignored it, but asked him to send a son over.

With a slap on the table, Cao Cao said angrily: "What a Sun Zhongmou, dare to be so rude!" ”

"Cao Gong is angry!" The envoy was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, Guo Jia said: "Sun Zhongmou is like this, which is reasonable. ”

Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Cao's angry face still did not retreat.

"Sun Ce exchanged 3,000 soldiers and horses with Yuan Shu with the jade seal of the country, and the wars in various places led to the current Jiangdong." Guo Jia said: "Sun Quan inherited Jiangdong, and he didn't ask whether Sun Ce passed it on to him. only said how much hard work the Sun family had gone through to regain Jiangdong, how could he give it to Cao Gong? ”

"What do you mean by filial piety?"

"Cao Gong's request for a proton is nothing more than coercion on Jiangdong. When Jingzhou is broken and adjacent to Jiangdong, can the Sun family be allowed to monopolize it? ”

was stunned by Guo Jia's question, and Cao Cao didn't say anything more.

He did think that in the future, he would move his troops south, coerce Jiangdong to send troops with protons, and sweep Jingzhou with him.

As for after the defeat of Jingzhou, that is a later story.

The Jiangdong Sun clan is entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, and when the Central Plains is unified, how can he be willing to stay?

Clenching his fists, Cao Cao said: "Sun Zhongmou refuses to send protons to Xudu, and when he breaks through the Yuan family and waves his troops south, there must be a lot of variables!" ”

"Although the Yuan family is decaying, it cannot be broken in a day." Guo Jia said: "Yuan Tan and Yuan are not harmonious. Although there is no movement at the moment, sooner or later it will turn against each other. Cao Gong can organize his troops and horses. Just wait for the two brothers to get up and send troops! ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jiazheng were talking about Jiangdong and Hebei, and the guards outside the door said: "Qi Cao Gong." There are scouts from Jingzhou who ask to see. ”

"Jingzhou?" Cao Cao frowned, and said to Guo Jia: "Jingzhou has never sent back news, and when the scouts return, something must have happened." ”

"Gong Cao can call and ask."

"Let him in and talk!" Cao Cao commanded outside the door.

A man dressed in a sackcloth garment entered the house,

"What's the news from Jingzhou?" Cao Cao asked.

"Return to Cao Gong!" The scout said: "Liu Biao has allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses to Liu Xuande, and he will go north in the near future!" ”

"Liu Xuande is going north?" Cao Cao was stunned.

"Exactly!"

"Who is the pioneer?"

"Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Cao asked, "Liu Xuande led the army to come, how about so?" ”

"Recharge your energy and wait for the change." Guo Jia said: "There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they are allowed to drive straight in. It's also a helpless no-go. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for the scout to step back.

He asked Guo Jia: "Liu Xuande is a hero of the world, why don't you ignore it?" ”

"Cao Gong had the opportunity to kill Liu Bei, but he repeatedly made him escape." Guo Jia said: "Liu Bei must have been prepared for coming this time. Even if it is broken, it will not be captured. It's better to let him go! ”

Liu Bei raised troops to the north, and Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's advice, only building ditches, setting up counties, and developing the military strength of his department, but did not deal with it.

Led 2,000 elite soldiers. Zhao Yun broke through all the way and killed Ye County in one day.

Yexian was not far from Xudu, and Cao Cao received the battle report and immediately asked the staff to discuss countermeasures.

The crowd took their seats. Cao Cao asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao persuaded a certain person not to pay attention to Liu Xuande that day, and now he is approaching Ye County, what can he do?" ”

"Cao Gong don't worry." Guo Jia said: "You can send a large army to meet the battle. When Liu Xuande heard it, he would retreat! ”

"Who wants to go?" Look around at the crowd. Cao Cao asked.

Xiahoudun got up and said, "The last general wishes!" ”

Zhao Yunnai is a brave general, if it weren't for the fierce general, he would go to the battle. It's also impossible to resist the enemy!

Xiahou was willing to go, and Cao Cao said happily: "Yuan let go, a certain heart is very peaceful!" ”

"Who is willing to be the lieutenant general?" The main general has been decided, Cao Cao asked again.

Yu Ban and Li Dian got up and said together: "The two of us are willing to help General Xiahou!" ”

The two are also generals who have been following Cao Cao since Chen Liu's recruitment.

He trusted the two of them very much, Cao Cao said: "With the help of the two of you, Yuan Rang will definitely be able to break the enemy!" ”

"Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Li Dian listen to orders!" Cao Cao said: "Dial you and wait for 30,000 soldiers and horses to meet Liu Bei!" ”

"The last general commands!" The servants responded in unison.

Yexian and Xudu are not far away, and the city defense is not comparable to the southern cities.

Zhao Yun waved his troops to attack several times, but he never failed to break through the city.

Attacking for several days in a row, on this day, Zhao Yun was about to lead the army to attack the city, and came over on a fast horse.

"General Zhao!" When they got closer, the scout on horseback said: "Xiahou Dun, Yu Ban, and Li Dian led 30,000 troops to meet the attack!" ”

After several days of advancing northward, no formed Cao army came to meet it.

Knowing that Xiahoudun and others were coming, Zhao Yun asked, "How far is it?" ”

"It's just more than twenty miles!"

Just as he was thinking about whether to catch up, another fast horse came from behind the array.

"General Zhao!" The knight on horseback came to the front and said to Zhao Yun: "The king has an order not to fall in love with the war, please retreat quickly!" ”

Liu Bei ordered to retreat, and Zhao Yun was stunned.

Penglai was still besieged by the Cao army, and out of his own heart, he wished to immediately come to the city of Xu and force the Cao army to withdraw from the soldiers and horses far away in Penglai.

Liu Bei ordered and had to obey.

Zhao Yun ordered: "Withdraw!" ”

Less than 2,000 soldiers turned around and hurried in the direction they had come.

The vanguard of the Jingzhou army retreated, and Xiahoudun, who led the army to aid Ye County, learned that he said to Ban and Li Dian: "Zhao Zilong is just like this, he learned that I am coming, and I have withdrawn before the war starts!" ”

"Don't be careless!" Yu Ban said: "Zhao Zilong is a brave general, he retreated before the battle, I am afraid that the enemy army will be deceitful!" ”

"10,000 old and weak soldiers!" Xiahoudun said: "Our army is three times the enemy, so will we be afraid of them?" ”

Xiahoudun was too inflated, and it was inconvenient for Yu Ban and Li Dian to persuade him, so they had to rush to Yexian with him.

The army entered Ye County, and the soldiers and civilians of Ye County, who had been besieged for several days, were jubilant.

Xiahoudun, who was already inflated, despised Liu Bei more and more in the cheers of the soldiers and civilians in Ye County.

At the same time, Zhao Yun led his troops to retreat and join forces with Liu Bei.

"Envoy!" When Liu Bei approached, he arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask why the army was withdrawn?" ”

"The enemy army is heavy, and there are not many soldiers and horses under Zilong's command, and if you force a battle, you may suffer a loss!" Liu Bei said: "And join the army, the military division has its own strategy to break the enemy!" ”

Glancing at Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun said: "A certain wish to be a pioneer!" ”

"The general doesn't have to be anxious." Shaking the feather fan gently, Zhuge Liang said: "Cao's soldiers are in full swing, avoid their edge, and wait for their sharp energy to disappear before attacking, it is even more appropriate!" ”

"The military advisor said lightly!" Before Zhao Yun could speak, Zhang Fei said on the side: "The two armies have not yet fought, how can the sharp spirit of the Cao army be exhausted?" Talking on paper is far less than a real gun killing! (To be continued.) )
