Having made up his mind, Ma Chao no longer hesitated, and immediately sent an envoy to respond to Lu Bu, saying that he agreed to the conditions he proposed, and agreed to deliver grain and war horses in Guandu in seven days. Secretly, he sent Zhao Yun to lead 5,000 cavalry to cross the river from Hugao Pass, pretending to be the county soldiers who delivered 5,000 war horses and grain and grass to wait for an opportunity in Rongyang. He himself led 20,000 cavalry with Zhao Fu and the second general surnamed Cao to station in Wuchao, and Huang Zhong commanded the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses to stand by.

In November, the northern land is cold for the first time, and the Yellow River has frozen along the Yellow River in the morning and evening, the cold wind is worn, and everything is depressed, but the Central Plains is filled with a strong sense of slaughter. Ma Chao's side is all ready, and after the handover is said to be exchanged for Guo Jia and Qin Yi, he can send troops to attack Yanzhou.

Cao Ying and Yuan Shao have also set up a strategic deployment, in the middle of the month, Cao Ying took the lead in Dongping, by Xiahoudun, Guan Yu, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Cao Chun led 50,000 troops to attack Lu Bu's base camp Dongjun. Lu Bu was caught off guard, but he was not afraid of Cao Ying, and the two sides fought many times, and they can be regarded as old enemies. Immediately ordered Zhang Yang, Yu Fuluo, and Yang Feng to sit in Dongjun, and personally led Hao Meng, Song Xian and others to lead the army to meet Cao Ying.

The two sides had just set up a large camp and had not yet fought, and Liyi and Chun Yuqiong each led 50,000 troops from Yingchuan and Qiaojun respectively. Koji Yi captured Xuchang with lightning speed, and his troops approached Daliang. Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and did not dare to fight, and while organizing troops to defend the city, he sent people to Dongjun to ask for help from Lu Bu.

Chun Yuqiong raised troops from Wuping, and the 50,000-strong army penetrated directly into the rear of Lu Bu's empty army. These county commanders and taishou only have county soldiers to maintain law and order, how can they dare to fight against Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops? Chun Yuqiong took several cities in less than three days, and approached Zhencheng in the rear of Dongjun.

Seeing that Zhang Miao refused to fight, he did not order the siege of the city, leaving 20,000 soldiers and horses for his subordinates Han Meng to confront Zhang Miao, and he personally commanded an army of 30,000 to bypass Daliang and march towards the hinterland of Yanzhou, and the troops approached Dongjun.

Lu Bu was shocked and angry after hearing the news, knowing that he had already angered Yuan Shao, and now that he was attacked from two sides, how could he still have the heart to fight Cao Shao? At that moment, Chen Gong, who came with the army, was urgently summoned to discuss countermeasures. Chen Gong didn't expect Yuan Shao to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, the two sides combined had more than 200,000 troops, how could they resist? After pondering for a long time, Chen Gong said: "Don't worry, lord! Yuan Shao turned his face, Ma Chao will definitely come to the rescue! It is expected that he will never watch Yanzhou fall into the hands of Yuan Shao! The top priority is to annihilate Cao Ying's main force, and the great enemy of the lord is always Cao Thief! ”

Lu Bu settled down for a moment, frowned and said, "Does Gongtai have a clever plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Cao thief has Yuan Shao's help, and it is inevitable that there will be a heart of underestimation in the army!" The Art of War: The proud soldiers will be defeated, and the mourning soldiers will win! The lord just needs to do this."

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately acted according to the plan and ordered the camp to be drawn from the class. After meeting Zang Ba's Taishan army, Lu Bu had 80,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and his strength was only stronger than Cao Ying. The 50,000-strong army came and went in a hurry, leaving behind a messy camp with a lot of food, grass and ordnance that had not had time to be taken.

How could Cao Ying let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs? After watching for a while, he immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan, Gao Lan, Guan Yu, Li Dian and Cao Chun to lead troops to pursue. The two armies retreated and advanced, with equal strength, and along the way, some people in Lu Bu's army lost their armor one after another, and there were still a lot of property. Seeing this, Cao Jun chased even tighter.

After walking less than twenty miles, I happened to encounter a hill that was neither high nor low, and it was endless. From afar, you can see the flags swaying on the mountain, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the figures are shaking, as if there are thousands of troops and horses. At the highest point, there is a big flag, on which a large Lu character is written, and there is a man and a horse standing under it, the war horse is red, and the person on the horse is in yellow robe and silver armor, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, but he can't see the face clearly.

The five generals didn't know the truth and feared that they would fall into Lu Bu's ambush plan, so they drank the army at the moment and waited for Cao Ying's decision, which came later. Not long after, Cao Ying rode a BMW claw Huang Fei under the protection of Cao Ren and Xu Chu, and Liu Bei also followed behind Cao Ying, his face expressionless and his eyes calm.

Cao Ying groaned a little after asking about the situation, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Lu Bu has no plan, and Chen Gong has no plan." As everyone knows, there are clouds in the art of war, but the truth is virtual, and the virtual is real! If Lu Bu really laid an ambush, why should he wave the flag and make noise with gongs and drums? This is a suspicious plan! You can attack quickly, and you must not let Lu Bu's main force escape back to Dongjun safely! ”

"Order!" The five generals made up their minds and immediately led the army to rush over, followed closely by Cao Ying, Xu Chu and others.

When I got closer to a hundred steps, I saw that where was Lu Bu? It was clearly a nobody, Cao Ying was even more sure in his heart, and immediately ordered to rush and kill, and quickly defeated the enemy army.

Cao Ying's army of 50,000 cavalry was only 3,000, and it was only after he wasted his efforts that he could get 3,000 good horses to form cavalry. Cao Ying attached great importance to this team, and spent a lot of money to build, the armor and weapons were comparable to Ma Chao's cavalry, and he personally named it the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which was led by his brother Cao Chun. The rest are also veterans who have been killed on the battlefield, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

Nearly 50,000 people charged, people roared and neighed, and the mountains were all over the fields, and there were dense Cao troops everywhere. When the army rushed to the bottom of the hillside, Lu Bu's army died down, and all of them disappeared at the other end of the hill!

The generals of the Cao army were excited when they saw this, and the soldiers charged even more desperately, and at this moment, only a gong sounded, followed by the sound of bowstrings. Before they could react to what was going on, they saw a rain of arrows rising from the opposite side like locusts and falling on them.

"Not good! There are ambushes! ”

"I've been tricked!"

The screams were endless, and such a dense rain of arrows fell in the dense crowd, and the casualties could be imagined. Only three rounds of feather arrows restrained the momentum of Cao's charge, and the incident happened suddenly, and the generals were caught off guard.

Seeing this, Cao Ying's face was full of surprise, his brows furrowed, and he hurriedly shouted: "The whole army charges!" Those who retreat will not be spared! "Now he can only charge, and there is no large number of ambushes. If there is really an ambush, once he orders a retreat, the enemy will take advantage of the situation to pursue, and the downhill terrain of the high post will inevitably cause his own people to hurt his own people, and suffer heavy losses.

After the generals got the order, they could only rush up against the rain of arrows, but fortunately, the rain of arrows was not accurate, and whoever was unlucky would be hit, and the army was dispersed like this, and the casualties were suddenly reduced a lot!

After five rounds of arrow rain, Cao Jun had already rushed up most of it, and it was about to rush to the top of the mountain. At this moment, I only heard the noise of gongs and drums on the mountain, the shouting of killing was deafening, countless soldiers and horses jumped out, led by a person riding a fiery red red rabbit and white horse, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, who is not Lu Bu?

"Charge the whole army! Capture the thief alive! With Lu Bu's loud roar, the army continued to rush up the hill, relying on the advantage of high posts and downhill to cover the past. Lu Bu wielded Fang Tian's painting halberd, directly took Cao Chun, the frontmost of Cao's army, painted the halberd left and right stabs, no one could stop it, rushed to the front, raised a halberd and stabbed straight at Cao Chun's throat (to be continued. )
