Xuzhou, among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, is a very important state and county, but since Tao Qian's death, this place has been constantly at war, Liu Bei, Lu Bu have taken the opportunity to divide here, but things are not people, now Liu Bei fled to Yizhou, Lu Bu was also killed by Cao Cao, Xuzhou fell into the hands of Cao Cao after a rare idle year, but it was only a year, and there was war here again, but this time the war was not necessarily a bad thing for the people of Xuzhou.

"Strategist, along the way, we have captured several counties, and my Huang has been fighting horses all my life, and this time is the happiest one!" Leading the army on the official road leading to Xiapi Kingdom, Huang Zhong said to Jia Xu on the side with a smile on his face.

Because Cao Cao brought all the army into the front line, Huang Zhong since the east into Xuzhou, can be said to be like a bamboo, just a month, has occupied Lang evil country, Guangling County, Pengcheng country and other counties, the entire Xuzhou, now there is only one Xiapi country still in Cao Cao's hands, such a record, so that Huang Zhong along the way almost happy, although this time there is a suspicion of robbery, but since it is a war, who cares about those, he Huang Zhong only obeys the orders of the lord.

"Cao Cao's remaining soldiers are outnumbered, naturally they will not be the opponents of our army, but we still have to work hard, it is best to capture Xiapi before Cao's army returns, so that we can take the entire Xuzhou, and we are finally worthy of the lord!" Jia Xu said with a smile.

"That's it!" Huang Zhong nodded, and there was also a bit of expectation in his expression, although this battle was a bit of an advantage, but as long as he helped the Lord to expand his territory, it would be a credit, war, not about the process, only about the result.

"Report, General, the Northern Secret Agent has sent information!" While the two were talking, a rider from behind quickly caught up and delivered a note.

"Hmm!" Huang Zhong took the note, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly his face changed slightly, but then it returned to its blandness.

"What did you say above?" Jia Xu asked.

"It's no big deal, it's just that Cao Cao has already sent 30,000 troops from his younger brother Cao Ren to come back to help, and he will arrive in Xiapi City in the near future!" Huang Zhong handed over the note and said softly.

"Oh? Reinforcements came so quickly, it really deserved to be the hero Cao Cao! Jia Xu's face was stunned, but then he calmed down: "According to our current marching speed, it will take two days to reach Xiapi at the earliest, and I don't know if Cao Ren will go to Xiapi one step ahead of us, if that's the case, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to take Xiapi!" ”

"Hmph, just Cao Ren is not worried, even if he comes to help in time, he still wants to capture Xiapi for the lord!" Huang Zhong snorted coldly and said with disdain.

Everyone in the world knows that the generals of his own clan around Cao Cao are generally dominated by the Xiahou brothers, these two Huang Zhong have seen it, although they are powerful, but they are not his opponents, as for the others, Huang Zhong will not be anything great.

"General Huang can't be careless, Cao Cao is a person who knows people and makes good use of them, since he didn't send the Xiahou brothers to come back to help, but only sent Cao Ren, then presumably this Cao Ren will definitely have something extraordinary, let's be cautious!" Jia Xu reminded.

"It's okay, what kind of goods is Cao Ren, let's go and see it, and we'll know!" Huang Zhong waved his hand, obviously not paying too much attention to it.

、、、

Two days later, Huang Zhong's army came to the city of Xiapi, not surprisingly, the city gate was closed, and on the banner on the head of the city, a Cao character had been hung early, and the soldiers were much more than other cities, so it can be seen that Cao Ren came one step ahead of them.

"It's a pity, it's just the last step!" Seeing that the other party's reinforcements had arrived, Huang Zhong said that he had already made preparations, but said with a little regret.

In the whole of Xuzhou, Xiapi is the place of governance and the core, if Xiapi is not won, then the effect of their expedition this time will be almost half discounted, so Huang Zhong is bound to win Xiapi, although he doesn't think Cao Ren can stop him, but if he can take Xiapi before the other party comes to help, it is undoubtedly the best result, but unfortunately, this hope is disappointed.

"This Cao Ren is really not simple, he is a good general!" Jia Xu looked carefully at the position of the defenders on the city wall for a while, and then said with some admiration.

"If you don't fight this fight, you are praising the enemy, and you will inevitably fall too much into the prestige of our army!" Huang Zhong said with some tears and laughter.

"It's not to praise him, but the defenders on this city wall, in groups of three, guarding the horns, standing in a very orderly position, without any omissions, can adjust the soldiers to such a fine level, this Cao Ren does have some merit." Jia Xu explained.

"I'd like to try his skills!" Hearing Jia Xu say this, Huang Zhong was eager to try, as a super-first-class martial artist, he was never afraid of challenges and strong enemies.

"General Huang, our strength is only 50,000, and the defenders of Xiapi City plus the reinforcements brought by Cao Ren should be about 35,000 people. Jia Xu was afraid that Huang Zhong would be impulsive, so he specially instructed.

"It's okay, I'll provoke it first, and if the other party refuses to come out, then make plans!" Huang Zhong nodded, but still rode his horse forward a few steps.
