Now Cao Cao is indeed very resolute, after making a decision, even Xuchang can give up, he has a determination to fight all the time, anytime and anywhere, he no longer looks ahead, he only wants to fight to the death with the new Han army on the north road, and hopes that he can kill Luoyang. This was his last hope, and he had to fight, and he had to win.

It's a pity that things are as they always are, and they don't always go as they wish.

Just like Liu Yi at the beginning, he thought that with the strength of the New Han Army, it would only take one or two years to unify the Han Dynasty, but now it has far exceeded expectations. Therefore, Cao Cao's wish was the same, but he did not get what he wanted.

Cao Ren, Zhang He, and Xiahou Dun did not even hurt a soldier of the New Han Army in this victory, which did not make Cao Cao happy for two days, and his northern defense line was declared to have been broken by the New Han Army, and his military horses were being routed, retreating to Changshe, Zhongmu, and Chenliu.

Now, Cao Cao is busier with gathering and rectifying the Cao army that has returned from defeat.

Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of troops from Xuchang, and those military horses were withdrawn from Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, with more than 700,000 horses. Coupled with Cao Ren's troops earlier, Xiahoudun's headquarters in Chenliu, and the Cao army and horses that have returned from the rout now, Cao Cao's troops in Chenliu have reached about 1.1 million horses, and in addition, there are still some Cao troops in Zhongmu and Changshe. In this way, Cao Cao's troops that can fight are basically all here. The troop statistics may exceed 1.3 million horses.

The million-strong Cao army in Chen Liucheng was stationed around Chen Liucheng, and the military camps spread out, as if they were covering the entire plain, so that Chen Liucheng, which was not small, was only like a slightly larger military tent in a camp tent. Visible. An army of more than a million people, stationed in one place at the same time, how big is the place occupied.

Of course, in terms of the size of the Cao army's camp, it may be slightly inferior to the Wuhuan camp of the Wuhuan army at the beginning, but it is not much different. It's just that. At the beginning, the Wuhuan camp was completely different from Cao Cao's large army, the Wuhuan people's camp was mixed with its tribesmen, and the only ones who could really fight were some young and strong Wuhuan people, but Cao Cao's military camp was full of some well-trained young soldiers. Pulling it out is an elite soldier, so this Cao army camp is completely different from the original Wuhuan camp, at least, it seems that the Cao army's camp seems to be more slaughtering.

Millions of this division. Cao Cao also had a little bit of energy, intending. If the New Han army did not dare to come to battle, his army would take the initiative to advance towards Luoyang.

But how could Liu Yi not fight with Cao Jun? Cao Ren, Zhang He, and Xiahoudun seized one of their own military camps, but the New Han Army was not ready. Therefore, Liu Yicai felt the need to avoid his front for the time being. However, now Cao Cao actually set up a position and waited for him, which was something that Liu Yi couldn't ask for. Let's say. Cao Cao could have done this earlier, and gathered a large army to have a decisive battle with himself at the beginning, then Liu Yi believed that he had already defeated Cao Cao and unified the Central Plains.

Just as the scouts came to report, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Wen Chou, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and others had already led the army to completely break through the defense line of Cao's army. It has broken through the mountains and killed it. Immediately, Liu Yi hurriedly ordered the generals that they did not need to divide their troops to attack in the area of Zhongmu and Changshe, and directly drove the generals to Chenliulai.

At the same time, the military horses led by Liu Yi who withdrew to the mountains also joined the army of the New Han Army that came out of the Bi Gu Pass, and after replenishing the supplies, they combined about 300,000 troops and horses to advance towards Chen Liucheng.

After a few days, most of the baggage of the New Han Army has been transported, so the New Han Army no longer has to worry about the suppression of Cao Jun's crossbows, ox bows, bed crossbows, trebuchets and other weapons. At the same time, Liu Yi's red-coated cannon was also delivered.

From the outside of the mountain to Chen Liucheng, there were still dozens of miles away, but Liu Yi was not worried that he would be blocked by Cao's army on the way. After all, in this wilderness, scouts on both sides are everywhere, and each is well aware of each other's actions. Cao Jun is now in full swing, and there is no need to do such useless work, and he has sent men and horses to attack and disturb him. Naturally, the most important thing is that their weapons that can suppress the New Han Army are not easy to handle, and without the suppression of those heavy weapons, the Cao Army will not be able to benefit from fighting the New Han Army in the field.

On the fourth day after Lewy was forced to evacuate the barracks and return to the mountains. Liu Yixian led 300,000 horses and horses to a place twenty miles away in front of Chen Liucheng. This is equivalent to going around the mountain range northwest of Chen Liucheng.

Here, the Xinhan army could no longer advance, because there was already a military camp of the Cao army in front, and all the military camps of the Cao army were within a radius of dozens of miles. The forward troops were only three or four miles away from Cao's barracks.

The other soldiers and horses of the New Han Army have not yet arrived, and Liu Yi first ordered the military horses to set up camp and set up camp before the Cao army camp.

Of course, this final decisive battle began officially from the moment Liu Yi led his army to the Cao army camp in Chen Liu. Cao Jun naturally would not let Liu Yi camp easily, and set up the camp comfortably in front of them.

The New Han army arrived in the early afternoon, and the vanguard was led by Hu Che'er with thousands of men and horses.

The scout reported Chen Liu's morning report, and always calculated the itinerary of the New Han army.

Under Cao Cao's account, there are naturally fierce generals gathered, and Cao Ren, Zhang He, and Xiahou Dun are needless to say. Others, such as Cao Hong, Le Jin, Zhang Xiu, Cao Chun, Xia Houen, Hou Cheng, Mao Jue, etc., have all been summoned by Cao Cao to participate in this final decisive battle. In addition, his advisers and some courtiers were also there, such as Xun You, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Hua Xin, etc., naturally followed Chen Liu, followed Cao Cao's side, and gave advice to Cao Cao. The battalion of more than one million people and horses needs too many talents to maintain the normal order of the camp, and those who eat and drink must be handled by Cao Cao, otherwise, just to maintain the eating and drinking of the military horses will give Cao Cao a headache, not to mention the ration of weapons and equipment of the soldiers of various armies, as well as the stationing of military horses and horses, etc., all need a large number of manpower to help Cao Cao deal with it.

It is precisely because there are all kinds of talents around him to help Cao Cao, so the current Cao Cao does not need to think too much, he only needs to discuss with a group of military advisors and ministers how to fight this battle.

Hearing that the vanguard of the New Han Army had arrived a few miles in front of his barracks, a group of advisers suggested. Cao Cao immediately sent military horses to attack the New Han army, taking the lead and winning the first victory, which greatly shocked the morale of the entire Cao army.

No matter what, we can't let the New Han Army be too comfortable and too good.

Cao Cao naturally thought that it was impossible for him to be good with the New Han Army. So, naturally, there is no need to be so polite to the Xinhan army, since their military horses have arrived, it is impossible for them to have time to rest, right?

The generals under Cao Cao's account were naturally also gearing up, and Zhang Xiu looked a little excited and jumped out first to ask to lead the army into battle.

The reason why Zhang Xiu was a little excited was because he heard a report from the scout that the vanguard general of the New Han Army was actually Hu Che'er. As for Hu Che'er, he was originally a general under his uncle Zhang Ji, and he was a little angry at Hu Che'er's betrayal. So, I want to go to the meeting in person.

In the army of the New Han Army, there are too many fierce generals, so it seems that some generals are not too famous. However, the reputation is not obvious, and it is only relative, there are many generals of the New Han Army. In fact, they have all been registered among the princes of the world, and some military generals who don't seem to be very famous. will be known. And Cao Jun has always been paying attention to the New Han Army, so he is also familiar with some generals in the New Han Army.

Among the new Han army, there are three steps that will be more well-known, one is Zhou Cang. The other is Hu Che'er.

These three people, Zhou Cang Scud, Hu Che'er can carry weight for thousands of miles a day, and one climbs the mountain like a spirit monkey.

So, the scouts of Cao Jun. Recognize Hu Che'er.

Cao Cao quasi-battled, ordered Zhang Xiu to lead a military horse to attack the vanguard of the New Han Army, and then ordered each general to lead the army to attack and directly attack the New Han army a few miles away.

The vanguard army led by Hu Che'er was actually only a military horse exploring the way, and all of them were infantry. After all, all the way to the plains, there is no need to open the road and build bridges in the mountains, and there are scouts on both sides all around, monitoring each other, and understanding the situation on both sides, the marching speed of the Xinhan army is actually not fast, they are just a dusty marching team.

In fact, the scouts on both sides are not just spying on each other in the wilderness, and if they have the opportunity, the scouts will also chase and attack each other, and even curse each other. It can be said that from the very beginning, the war between the two sides began.

Hu Che'er is naturally not a resourceful general, but he can command the army according to the marching regulations of the New Han Army.

His thousands of men, all the way to the search, kept in formation.

When Zhang Xiu led a Cao army to rush straight from the Cao army camp, Hu Che'er had already seen it, and he immediately ordered the team to stop advancing, form a formation on a small slope, and wait for the arrival of Cao's army. Of course, the scout also came to report that this Cao army was only more than 10,000 men, and for the time being, it was only this Cao army, so that Hu Che'er would make the sergeants form a formation, otherwise, he could only order the sergeants to retreat to the back first and join the army of the New Han Army. The pros and cons of this, Hu Che'er still understands.

After a while, Zhang Xiu led more than 10,000 Cao troops to kill.

Zhang Xiu's age is actually not too big, it is estimated that he is in his twenties and less than thirty years old, a white horse, a silver armor, and a spear, but he has a bit of the demeanor of a white horse and a silver general.

At this time, Zhang Xiu was a little angry, he led the army to arrive, ordered his army to form a formation, and directly rushed to the bottom of the small slope about a hundred steps or so.

His spear pointed at Hu Che'er, who was holding a weapon that was a bit like a flat pole, and Shi Shiran stood in front of the New Han Army and shouted: "Hu Che'er! But you still know General Ben! ”

Although Hu Che'er had already seen that there was a big character on the flag of the generals in the Cao army who came closely, there were more generals surnamed Zhang in the Cao army, and he did not particularly notice that the general of the Cao army would be Zhang Xiu. was stunned for a moment, and said, "You are General Zhang Xiu?" ”

"Humph! You still know General Ben! Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, and said a little domineeringly: "Hu Che'er, you were originally a slave of my Zhang family, why did you betray my uncle and General Ben?" General Ben asked himself that he treated you well at the beginning, you were just a house slave, but he promoted you as a general and promised you a heavy responsibility, how could you do something against the master? ”

"Little general, I ......" Hu Che'er was a little stuttered.

"If you still have the slightest gratitude, then, you immediately lead this new Han army to surrender and submit to Prime Minister Cao, in this way, this general may be able to forgive you for your previous betrayal, otherwise, this general will definitely clean up the door and kill you, a faithless, disloyal and unrighteous person!" Zhang Xiu shouted at Hu Che'er with a fierce voice.

Hu Che'er's face turned pale for a while, but he felt a little faceless to see Zhang Xiu. However, when he heard Zhang Xiu scolding him for being disloyal and unrighteous, he trembled and sobered up.

If it was Hu Che'er in history, he might be ashamed and uneasy because of Zhang Xiu's accusations. However, after so many years of experience in the New Han Dynasty, Hu Cheer has undergone many changes.

It's not a change of what's going on, but it's about the enlightenment of Hu Che'er in his wisdom.

The New Han Army comprehensively popularized reading and literacy, and even the ordinary Han people could have the opportunity to read and write, and the New Han Dynasty had a rigid requirement for the generals in the New Han Army, and they had to learn to read. In fact, on the other hand, the New Han Army instilled in the officers and men of the New Han Army a truly correct concept of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. In other words, if you don't say something nice, it's equivalent to brainwashing.

At the very least, it can be said that the officers and soldiers of the New Han Army have a consensus of faith, and every one of their officers and soldiers of the New Han Army knows what they are fighting for.

What is Letter? What is Chung? What is righteousness? These have some relatively correct and clear explanations in the New Han Army.

Loyalty to the monarch is not only loyalty to the king, but loyalty to the Han and their beliefs. As for righteousness, only the great righteousness of the nation is the true righteousness.

Hu Che'er returned to the New Han Dynasty, but at the beginning, he was just unaccustomed to the atrocities of Dong Zhuojun's sergeants, and he was already centrifuged in his heart. Therefore, after being captured in the end, he did not seek death for Zhang Ji, so as to get a new life.

After Hu Che'er woke up, his mind calmed down, looked at Zhang Xiu under the slope, and said in a relatively calm tone: "General Zhang Xiu, first of all, Hu Che'er did not lose his trust, how did General Zhang Ji order Hu Che'er, never disobeyed, and fought for your Zhang family until he was captured at the last moment." As for loyalty, Hu Che'er has already understood that you and I are both human beings, you regard me as a slave, and the New Han Dynasty regards me as a human being. So, to whom do you make me loyal? The so-called righteousness, how many heinous evil deeds did you General Zhang Ji commit when you followed Dong Zhuo? Countless innocent people who have no power to catch chickens have been killed by your soldiers, and it is unjust to do so. The New Han Army fought for the people of the Han Dynasty, so it is worth following Hu Che'er. I want Hu Che'er to vote for General Zhang again, it's impossible, but it's General Zhang Xiuxiao, Cao Cao's anger is exhausted, and his uncle seems to have been killed by Cao Jun, and you are still working hard for Cao Cao now, that is to recognize the thief as a father, and be disloyal, persuade General Zhang Xiao to submit to our new Han Dynasty.
