Xu Huang hurriedly said: "Military advisor, I will immediately lead the army back to help!" Ma Dai said: "Why don't you attack the Cao army camp in front of you?" Cao Jun must have secretly transferred the main force back, and after we finished attacking the east and west, we will plan it! ”

Zhuge Liang's face was thoughtful.

At the same time, among the Cao army camps, only 30,000 infantry troops remained, led by Wei Yan. Wei Yanzheng commanded his soldiers to arrange firewood, grass, sulfur, saltpeter, fire oil, and firewood throughout the camp. Wei Yan looked at the soldiers who were busy in the camp, and muttered with a smile: "Xun Yu's strategy is really high! After Zhuge Liang learned that the camp on the south bank had been stormed, he must have thought that this camp was a virtual camp, and led a large army to attack. As soon as they step into the barracks, hum, they will be plunged into a sea of fire specially prepared for them! This battle will shake the morale of the Dingfeng Jin Lu Bu army. Then, Xun Yu's army broke through the fortress on the south bank of Lu Bu's army and drove straight in, and the entire Yuzhou would inevitably fall into our hands, so that the entire battle situation would be reversed! Hey, the whole Xun Yu, it's really not good not to admire him! Who could have come up with such a brilliant scheme? ”

A subordinate general rushed to Wei Yan, clenched his fists and said, "General, everything has been arranged, just waiting for Lu Bujun to arrive." ”

Wei Yan glanced at the camp and ordered: "Order all teams, ambush, and wait for Lu Bu's army to attack the camp." The general answered and ran down.

This side is the most prepared, and Zhuge Liang over there poured out, and nearly 200,000 horses and horses surged.

When Wei Yan saw this scene, he trembled with excitement, his eyes widened and he muttered: "When I annihilate these 200,000 Lu Bu troops, my reputation will definitely be comparable to Cao Ren Xiahou Dun and others!" At that time, the whole world will know my Wei Yan's name! ”

……

Eyes turned to Yanzhou for the time being.

A scout galloped into Yanzhou City, felt the Prime Minister's Mansion, and presented an urgent letter to Cao Pi, who had proclaimed himself Prime Minister. Cao Pi opened the letter, read it again, and his face changed greatly. hurriedly said to Sima Yi and others: "My younger brother Cao Zhi rebelled in Qingzhou. Everyone was shocked, and Xu Yu caressed the goat's beard with a thoughtful look on his face.

Sima Yi pondered: "Although Gongzi Cao Zhi has some complaints about the lord, he is in a weak mood, and it stands to reason that he would not dare to do this!" It must be instigated by someone that he will be fascinated by the devil and take risks for a while! ”

Cao Pi said with a gloomy face: "This Qingzhou Thorn History is Cao Zhi's father-in-law, I was going to replace this person a long time ago, but Mr. didn't let me do this, and now it has caused such a catastrophe!" ”

Sima Yi was speechless.

Xu You glanced at Sima Yi and sneered, "I don't know if Zhongda is also involved with Cao Zhi?" Seeing that this was poisonous, Sima Yi became angry with Xu Yu for the first time, and said loudly: "What kind of person is I, Sima Yi, the lord naturally knows, Mr. It's better not to slander, otherwise you will only harm yourself!" Xu You sneered.

Cao Pi glanced at the two of them, and said angrily: "Don't say these useless words, now it's time to discuss how to deal with the current situation!" Now that Lu Bu's army is pressing, Cao Zhi is rebelling in Qingzhou, this matter is not trivial, and it must be solved as much as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Sima Yi said: "There are only about 100,000 people in Qingzhou, and there are no generals under Cao Zhi, so he only needs to send a reliable general to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to quell the rebellion." Now the most worrying thing is not the Qingzhou rebellion, but the rumors caused by it, Lu Bu is also very likely to take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, once the rumors in Yanzhou cannot be controlled, the consequences are only afraid that they will be stricter than a Qingzhou rebellion! ”

Cao Pi frowned and nodded, and said to Xu You: "Mr. Ziyuan, I will ask you to be the inspector, closely check the trend of public opinion in the city, and for those who spread rumors, no matter who they are, they will be arrested first." Xu Yu was secretly happy in his heart, and he made a promise. Cao Pi said to Xiahou again: "General Xiahou," "The last general." "Please lead 40,000 elites to Qingzhou immediately, and suppress the rebellion in the shortest possible time!" "No."

Cao Pi walked down the steps, came to Xiahoudun, and advised: "Cao Zhi doesn't care whether he lives or dies, don't let him escape!" Xiahoudun nodded.

……

The large camp on the south bank of the Huainan Lu Bu Army.

Hundreds of thousands of Cao troops continued to attack the second stronghold like a sea tide, and Zang Ba led the soldiers of the War Bear Legion to resist desperately, only to see blood flying all over the sky, and the soldiers on both sides fell in a pool of blood.

There were so many enemy troops that the second stronghold was about to be overwhelmed. Zang Ba ordered 10,000 cavalry, divided into two teams, to rush down the slope between the two heavy camps on both sides. I saw 10,000 war horsemen surging down the slope as if playing acrobatics, rushing into the tide of enemy soldiers, like a torrent pouring into the sea of sand, horses slashing with swords, stabbing heads with guns, and Cao Jun fell a large piece! However, the Cao army was too dense, and the charge of the turks was quickly frozen, and they fell into the boundless sea of enemy troops, a sea of guns and knives, and one person turned on his back!

These 10,000 war horsemen can't charge, and they can't retreat, so they die in a bloody battle one by one!

The battle lasted until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the War Bear Legion could not resist it and withdrew to the most powerful stronghold one after another. At the same time, the oil and gunpowder buried in the second fortress were ignited, and for a while, a violent explosion sounded, and a ball of fireball rose into the sky, and the second fortress turned into a sea of fire! The Cao army of the second heavy camp suffered heavy losses, and the follow-up troops retreated in a hurry! The fierce battle has come to a halt for a moment!

The soldiers of the War Bear Legion gasped violently, looking very tired, they had not encountered such a fierce battle for a long time.

Zang Ba glanced back at the pontoon bridge on the river in the distance behind him, frowned, showed a desperate expression, and ordered: "Destroy the pontoon bridge for me!" The soldiers looked at each other. Zang Ba shouted, "Didn't you hear my order? One of the generals hurriedly said: "General, if the pontoon bridge is destroyed, we will have no way to retreat!" Zang Ba said fiercely: "If we can't stand this camp on the south bank, even if we can escape with our lives, what face will we have to meet the general and my colleagues?" Destroy the bridge! "The general can't, so he has to take orders.

Xun Yu, who was rearranging the attack, suddenly saw the fire rising from the rear of Lu Bu's military camp, frowned, and muttered, "I didn't expect them to have such determination!" If you want to destroy them, I'm afraid it won't be as smooth as planned! ”

The flames of the second fortress disappeared, the ground was still billowing white smoke, and the war drums of Cao Jun's war rang out loud again! The boundless Cao army surged up like a sea tide, spears like forests, shields into the wall, mighty and imposing!

The gaze turned back to Dingfutsu.

Zhuge Liang led an army of 200,000 to approach Cao's barracks, but did not attack immediately.
