Gao Ping, Cao Cao's temporary official residence. ≥ ≥ ≥ Xiao ≥ said, www.

"Lord!"

Cheng Yu hurriedly entered the inner hall and bowed to Cao Cao.

"Zhongde is exempt!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Come, sit down and say!" ”

Cheng Yu took a seat at the bottom and said, "Yu just climbed to the top of the city to observe the camp of the Xiliang Army, and found that something was not quite right!" ”

Cao Cao let out an 'oh' sound and asked, "What's wrong with the Xiliang Army?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Although Luo Zheng camped the cavalry and infantry separately, there were many more flags in the cavalry camp, which made people look unreal, and there had never been so many flags in the Xiliang army camp before, which is really strange." ”

"Is that so?"

Cao Cao's eyes froze, and he quickly turned his thoughts.

Cheng Yu said again: "I think about it left and right, and I feel that something is wrong, so I will report it to the lord!" ”

"This ......"

Cao Cao stroked his willow beard and muttered, "What is Mo Fei Luo Zheng hiding? ”

Cheng Yu said: "I also think so below, the Xiliang Army must be hiding something, otherwise why would they lay so many flags in the cavalry camp." It's a pity that now Yan and Henan have fallen, and I don't know what the situation in Yuzhou is, and whether Sun Ce will send troops. ”

"Not good!"

Cao Cao's mind flashed with inspiration, and he lost his voice: "Luo Zheng is afraid that he is not in the army." ”

Cheng Yu's eyes froze, and he said, "How can the lord be sure?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Zhongde thinks about it carefully, if there is no change in the Xiliang army, how can Luo Zheng lay down many banners in the cavalry camp, if it is not surprising, there must be a change in Yuzhou, and Luo Zheng has to lead the army south." And he went very quickly, so he confused our army with a suspicious strategy. In order to buy time for Gao Shun, dig a pit outside Gaoping. So as to trap our army in Gaoping. ”

Cheng Yu lost his voice and said: "The lord is wise, there is really this possibility!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't sit still any longer, and said angrily: "Quickly gather all the generals to come to discuss the matter!" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Yu didn't have time to give a salute, so he promised to get up together and run outside.

At the north gate of Gaoping, Gao Shun was inspecting the deployment of the army.

Suddenly, a fast horse rushed over in the distance, and he opened his voice and shouted.

"General, it's not good!"

Come and ride a gallop. He said loudly: "Cao Jun is about to break through?" ”

"Huh?"

Gao Shun's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "How could Cao Jun break through so quickly?" ”

The little colonel rushed to the front at this time, hurriedly reined in the war horse, and took a few breaths before he hurriedly replied: "This villain doesn't know either, the Cao army is assembled outside the east gate, and it seems that he is preparing to break through!" ”

"Let's go, let's see!"

Gao Shun immediately turned over and went straight to the east gate.

Arrived at the East Gate. I saw that the 5,000 cavalry of the Cao army had all opened out of the east gate and were assembling under the city, even if he was a fool at this time, he could see that the Cao army was about to break through. Otherwise, how could it come out?

Gao Shun's eyelids jumped at that time, the fortifications of the siege had not yet been built, and he wanted to leave all the 5,000 Cao troops behind. I'm afraid it's not that easy, and there will always be a few escapes from the net.

Once Cao Cao escaped. I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task of waiting for the main bus.

It's just that how could Cao Cao choose to break through at this time?

Gao Shun thought about it. I understood a little in my heart, most of the suspicious tactics of the lord and the military advisor were discovered.

Xuchang, the camp of the Xiliang Army.

"General, there's news."

A small colonel hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army and said to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yundao: "What news?" ”

The junior colonel replied: "The lord has personally led 20,000 cavalry south, and he has arrived in Chen County yesterday. ”

"Oh, is that true?"

Zhao Yun suddenly perked up, but he had been in a hurry for the past few days.

Yuzhou is undecided, he will never dare to leave Xuchang lightly, this is no better than on his own territory, there are no worries. Xuchang is the center of Cao Cao's rule, Cao Cao's power is deeply rooted in Yuzhou, and now Liu Bei and Sun Ce have led troops to attack, although Zhao Yun has enough troops in his hands, but he has to defend all places, and there is no general who can stand alone to share his worries.

At this critical time, if there is any change in Xuchang, I am afraid that Yuzhou will become a pot of porridge.

Nanyang said that there is the advantage of a strong city and a city, and it can also block Liu Bei.

But Runan has no danger to defend, Sun Ce is extremely good at fighting, plus Runan has just been defeated, the situation is already unstable, and there are Shi clan gate lords secretly making trouble, so that Sun Ce can take advantage of the opportunity, and even the battle is victorious, and even Chengyi is also killed.

Fortunately, after the 20,000 troops were dispersed, eighty percent fled back to Xuchang, and they could only be reorganized without heavy losses.

Zhao Yun also had no choice, so he had no choice but to report to Luo Zheng with a fast horse.

The little colonel said excitedly: "It's true! ”

Zhao Yun breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Why didn't the lord come to Xuchang to sit in town?" ”

The junior colonel replied: "The lord has already issued a military order to go to Runan to defeat Sun Ce's Jiangdong soldiers, and ordered the general to transfer 20,000 troops to Runan, and then divide his troops to attack the three counties of Peiguo, Liangguo, and Luguo, but don't pay attention to Sun Ce." ”

Zhao Yun said happily: "The lord personally went south to meet Sun Ce, there will be no mistake, so he will transfer troops and horses to the south." ”

Pingyu, the Jiangdong Army Battalion.

"Lord!"

Xi Ping hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce waved his hand and said, "The military advisor is exempt, Zhao Yunke has sent reinforcements here?" ”

Xi Ping's face turned solemn, and said: "Zhao Yun didn't send reinforcements to come, but our army scouts found 20,000 Xiliang cavalry in Chen State, judging from the news sent back by the scouts, it was Luo Zhengqin who led the army to Runan. ”

"What?"

Sun Ce was taken aback, and said fiercely: "Luo Zhengqin is leading the army here?" ”

Xi Ping nodded and said, "** Not far from ten." ”

Sun Cejian frowned, and said in a deep voice: "How could Luo Zheng come so quickly, could it be that Cao Cao has already been defeated?" ”

Xi Ping shook his head and said: "For the time being, no news has been sent back, but since Luo Zheng is here, Cao Zheng is not defeated, and it is estimated that there will be heavy casualties, so he can only survive, otherwise Luo Zheng will not go south to Yuzhou." ”

Sun Ce said in a condensed voice: "Since Luo Zheng is here in person, I'm afraid that this Runan is not so easy to fight!" ”

Xi Ping thought deeply and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, the Xiliang army has many cavalry, but our army only has 2,000 cavalry, and Luo Zheng is a famous general in the world, not a mediocre talent such as Chengyi, if the decisive battle with the Xiliang army is head-on, our army has no chance of winning, you can retreat to Gepo first, defend according to the danger, and then find an opportunity to break the enemy, so as not to be taken by Luo Zheng!" ”

Sun Ce is also a man of great strategy, although he is young and advocates attack, but he is not reckless, he knows that what Xi Ping said is all the truth, and he will not underestimate the fierce and powerful Luo Zheng, and immediately said: "Good, according to the opinion of the military advisor!" ”

Half an hour later, the Jiangdong army rose up and quickly withdrew to Gepo, fifty miles away.

When the general heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent his horse to Xuchang to ask Zhao Yun for help.

However, before the heralds could leave the city, they were blocked at the gate by the 3,000 vanguard cavalry sent by Luo Zheng.

When the guard heard the news, he hurriedly greeted him. (To be continued......) R527
