Yuan Xu led his army to the southern border of Runan.

Yu Ban and Li Pawn immediately ordered troops and horses to come to deal with it.

The two armies faced each other from afar, but neither entered the other's territory.

Looking at the Tianhai camp in the distance, Yu Ban said: "Yuan Xianxin leads the army here, and sooner or later he will enter Runan." With you and me alone, I'm afraid it's hard to resist! ”

"We are equal in strength." Li Dian said: "The two of us only have to defend to the death, presumably he will not dare to bypass Runan and go deep into Xudu." ”

"Why?" Yu Ban asked.

"Xu Du is heavily guarded, and Yuan Xianxin does not have many soldiers and horses, so it is difficult to break through when he is idle." Li Dian said: "If he can't break Xu Du, he will definitely withdraw to Xuzhou." Passing through Runan, why don't we intercept it? ”

"What the general said is very true." Yu Ban responded: "Let's see what Yuan Xianxin plans." ”

Yuan Xu military camp.

The Tianhai camp was on guard all day, and only waited for Yuan Xu's order to advance into Runan.

Yuan Xu was also waiting for the news of Cao Jun's northward journey.

Handsome tent.

Yuan Xu and Tian Feng sat facing each other.

Tian Feng said: "Is it too early for the son to lead the army here? ”

"Why did Tian Gong say this?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Cao Cao's army has not yet been launched, but our army has set up a position in Runan, and there is a great opportunity to advance on the whole line as soon as the time comes. How could Cao Cao not be guarded? ”

"Even if a certain person doesn't lead troops here, doesn't Tian Gong think that Cao Cao will be defenseless?"

Cao Cao had already been on guard against Yuan Xu, and the Tianhai battalion had been in charge for a long time.

Whether Yuan Xu comes or not, Cao Cao's defense of Xuzhou will definitely not be relaxed!

"When does Childe plan to send troops?" Tian Feng asked.

"When Cao's army goes north, our army will attack Runan!" Yuan Xu said: "Defeat Runan. Cut Xuchang again! ”

"If Cao Cao did not go north, but waved his troops to Xuzhou. What can I do? ”

"Cao Cao will definitely not come to Xuzhou!" Yuan Xu said: "To seize Xuzhou, he is not sure of a complete victory. If it goes north, Hebei will come into its hands. Although Cao Cao is strong, his foundation is not stable. Xuzhou is a place of several wars, the people's livelihood is withered, and the people are few, even if he defeats us, except for a devastated place, he will have nothing to gain. And Hebei, if it falls into its hands, then Liaodong, Wuhuan, Xiliang and other places. and it will be for him. What would happen if Tian Gong was Cao Cao? ”

Tian Feng nodded and said: "Gongzi has inferred that Cao Cao really has no need to attack Xuzhou!" ”

"It's not necessary, it's just that the time hasn't come." Yuan Xu said: "Pacify the north, and no one in the Central Plains can shake Cao Cao." He only needs to block the coast, and Penglai is a dead place. With Xuzhou withering and the people withering, how can they resist hundreds of thousands of Cao troops? When he backhands south, we are afraid that there will be nowhere to stay. ”

"What are Childe's plans?" Tian Feng asked.

"This battle is crucial, and we must not be careless." Yuan Xu said: "If you break Xu Du." Rescuing His Majesty today, Cao Cao's move will be despised by the world. A certain can use the name of the Son of Heaven to order the world to defeat the rebels! If this battle fails, even if it retreats to Xuzhou. I'm afraid that it won't be long before Cao Cao's army will be overwhelmed! ”

Twisting his beard, Tian Feng frowned.

Yuan Xu analyzed. It gave him an extremely strong sense of crisis.

Cao Cao's power is getting stronger and stronger.

Whether it is Hebei or Xuzhou, it is not his opponent to deal with it alone.

Cao Cao faced a choice. It's not where you can't fight, it's where you hit first is more beneficial to him!

Compared to Cao Cao. The situation facing Yuan Xu seems to be dominant, but in fact, there is no way back!

Xu Du had to fight!

Once you enter Xudu, you must first defeat the strong enemy in Runan!

Runan is adjacent to Xuzhou.

In Xuzhou, although the cities in various places are assisted by people, after all, the number of soldiers in the Tianhai Battalion is limited.

Although bypassing Runan can directly approach Xudu, not to mention that the return of the army will be intercepted by the enemy army in Runan, only to say that the defenders of Xuzhou are overstretched to resist this enemy army!

With Cao Cao's military strength, even if he loses Xu Du, it will not be a nerve-wracking thing for him.

For Yuan Xu, this battle only needs to be lost for a while, which is a complete loss......

Xu Du Cao House.

Yuan Xu's army advanced to Runan, but Yuan Shang led the army to besiege the plain.

Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia and others into the back house to discuss the dispatch of troops.

"Our army has not yet moved, Yuan Xianxin has already arrived in Runan, what do you think, what are his plans?" Cao Cao asked everyone.

"Yuan Xianxin seized Xuzhou, and the army was in full swing." Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong also knows that once our army goes north, he will definitely lead the army to attack. What is the difference between an early arrival and a late arrival of the Great Army? ”

Brushing his beard, Cao Cao said: "Yuan Xianxin is so blatant, it can be seen that he is completely sure of the capture of Xu. I don't know why he ...... like this."

"If he had been absolutely sure, he wouldn't." Guo Jia said: "This move is just a bluff, so that Cao Gong has to be more vigilant against Xuzhou. If the army marching north is insufficient, it will be difficult to break through Yecheng. Our army's northward march will fall short, but Yuan Xianxin can take the opportunity to plan for it. If so, he has fallen into Yuan Xianxin's trap. ”

Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Cao said: "There are not enough soldiers and horses left, and Yuan Xianxin may be able to capture Xudu." There are not enough soldiers and horses to go north, and he will be allowed to do so, so it seems that the situation is more favorable to him. What should I do? ”

"Cao Gong rest assured, a certain has been prepared." Guo Jia said: "Yuan Xianxin attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and it was only because Yuan Benchu was still alive that he refused to fight with his brothers, so he lost Hebei. If he enters Xu Capital this time, he will lose his relatives on the way......"

"Feng Xiao means Yuan Kang?" Cao Cao interjected.

Guo Jia nodded: "Yuan Kang recruited rangers, intending to kill from behind while the two armies were fighting. A certain has secretly made a deployment, he dares to do this, and he will definitely teach him to come and go! folded Yuan Kang, Yuan Xianxin felt sad in his heart, or he couldn't say that he would delay the army's trip! ”

Twisting his beard, Cao Cao said: "Although this plan is feasible, whether it is useful or not is still a matter of words. Fengxiao has preparations, just act! ”

Guo Jia got up and responded.

Since meeting the people sent to Xuzhou by Guo Jia, Hongqin has been unable to sleep and eat for several days.

approached Yuan Kang at the beginning, in order to use him to find out information about Yuan Xu.

She has always been low-key, and she pretended to be pregnant for the first time, in order to win Yuan Kang's trust and make it easier to listen to messages that were unfavorable to Cao Cao.

Unfortunately, the effect only lasted five months.

When the time came, Hongqin had to pretend to fall and lose the child.

Knowing that she lost the child, Yuan Kang not only did not blame at all, but let people take care of her.

For Yuan Kang, she had already developed love.

The second time she pretended to be pregnant, she knew that Yuan Xu would start a big battle with Cao Cao.

At critical moments, the information obtained will determine the success or failure of the battlefield.

Knowing that she was pregnant again, Yuan Kang's happy appearance that day made her hate to really conceive a child for him.

It's a pity that she has long been destined to become a mother in this life...... (To be continued.) )
