Guan Hai escorted Hua Tuo out of Luoyang for Xiangping, and the news soon reached the ears of Cao Cao, who was in Xudu.

Guo Jia had already made a plan to seize Xuzhou, and Cao Cao was not very concerned about Hua Tuo's trip to Xiangping.

However, when Guo Jia heard that Hua Tuo was going to Xiangping, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the guards to prepare carriages and horses and go to meet Cao Cao.

Knowing that Hua Tuo went to Xiangping, he did not feel as uneasy as Guo Jia, Cao Cao knelt in the study, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" and reading it with relish.

"Spring and Autumn" not only records many of the past events of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but also contains a lot of governing strategies and strategies and tactics, and is a classic book favored by many heroes.

Commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, occupying Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Cao Cao has long stood out among many heroes, and he also has a special preference for classics similar to "Spring and Autumn".

Holding the book, it was just as it was being read, and a guard's voice came from outside the door of the study: "Qi Qi Cao Gong, the military advisor is asking to see you outside!" ”

When discussing military affairs with Guo Jia, Cao Cao often summoned Guo Jia, but Guo Jia rarely took the initiative to find Cao Cao.

Hearing that Guo Jia asked to see him, Cao Cao suddenly had a feeling that something big was about to happen, and hurriedly said to the guards outside the house: "Please come in and want to see the military advisor!" ”

The guard answered, but in a blink of an eye, Guo Jia walked in from outside the house.

"Ming Gong!" Standing at the entrance, Guo Jia hugged his fists and bowed to Cao Cao and greeted him.

"Come here with filial piety, there must be something important!" Seeing Guo Jia enter the house, Cao Cao hurriedly said to him: "Feng Xiao has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"Can Ming Gong hear that Guan Hai escorted Hua Tuo to Xiangping?" Cao Cao asked the reason for this, and Guo Jia asked straight to the point.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with Hua Tuo going to Xiangping, but Guo Jia made a special trip to come for this matter, which really surprised Cao Cao.

Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some hesitation: "Hua Tuo went to Xiangping, and he already knows." That Liaodong Gongsun Du suffers from eye disease, and he thinks it is for Gongsun Du to heal the patient......"

"The Xiongnu Da Dan Yu is the righteous son of the King of Qin, and going to the Xiongnu to defeat Liu Bao, occupy the royal court, and hold the Da Dan Yu hostage, is really the key to controlling the King of Qin!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "At such a critical moment, the King of Qin first ordered Pang Tong to go to Liaodong, and then ordered Hua Tuo to rush to Xiangping. ”

"That's just a piece on a chessboard!" After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and said with some disapproval: "His life and death, I really don't care too much!" ”

"It is understandable that Ming Gong does not care about life and death!" Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said to Cao Cao: "But the Duke of Ming has never thought that if he was defeated by the Liaodong Army too early, the Xiongnu Dadan knew that the Xiongnu rebellion was secretly operated by the Duke of Ming, and he would definitely order the Hun cavalry to go south." The Huns are not very fearful, but once they unite with the army of King Qin, they are really a force that is difficult to break! ”

"In the sense of filial piety, what should we do?" Guo Jia directly pointed out the key to the problem, and Cao Cao then understood that once the Huns no longer united with him, but became a force of the King of Qin, when the Central Plains would compete for hegemony, he would have to face an additional foreign force, so he hurriedly asked Guo Jia how to deal with it.

"King Qin's move must be a decision to crusade against the Huns!" Raising his face slightly, looking at the beams in the house, Guo Jia frowned, and said to Cao Cao: "Our army still has the strength to fight against the cavalry of the Qin army, and in the plain area, it is really not the opponent of the cavalry of the Qin army!" The Duke of Ming categorically must not send troops and horses to the Hetao to unite with Bei! ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, he always twisted his beard with his hands, and at this time, he also figured out the key to the matter.

Once Qubei loses in the battle of the Xiongnu, he will have more enemies to face in the future, and the crisis that Cao's army is in will be even stricter than before.

"In a few days, it will be the happy period for the King of Qin to marry the Xiongnu!" Cao Cao was speechless, and Guo Jia continued: "When the Duke of Ming was in the happy period of the King of Qin, he ordered General Cao Ren to pretend to attack Xia Cai!" But when we go to Xia Cai, our army must not go too deep, we expected this, and the staff under the command of King Qin must have already thought of it! As for Xiahoudun's army, today and tomorrow, he can quietly rush to Xuzhou, seize Xiaopei and Xiapi first, and cut off Liu Bei's support from the west! ”

"Everything is decided by filial piety alone!" Knowing that the current situation was already very strict, Cao Cao didn't think about it, so he said to Guo Jia: "This time to seize Xuzhou, all military affairs are arranged by Fengxiao!" ”

"Ming Gong rest assured!" Cao Cao handed over the military affairs to him to decide, Guo Jia hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The subordinates will definitely live up to their mission!" ”

Cao Cao was ready to attack Xuzhou, and at this time the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang was stationed.

King Zuogu Li summoned many kings and generals of the Xiongnu tribes to gather in his tent to discuss the rescue of Da Danyu.

Deng Zhan, as the general sent by Liu Wei to the Xiongnu, sat side by side with him in the royal tent of King Zuoguli.

"Go and hold Da Dan Yu hostage, defeat King Zuoxian, and drink to us!" Looking around at the Hun kings and generals sitting in the king's tent, King Zuogu Li said to them: "All of you are the humerus of my Huns, and they have heavy soldiers in their hands. ”

As soon as King Zuogu Li spoke, the Hun kings and generals in the king's tent were speechless.

Seeing their lifeless appearance, King Zuo Guli was a little annoyed in his heart, raised his voice a lot, and said to them: "We have the King of Qin as the backing, and now the King of Qin has sent General Deng to help us, so what scruples do you have?" ”

"King Zuo Gu Li!" King Zuogu Li mentioned Deng Zhan, and finally a Hun general stood up, gave him a Hun salute and said: "Although what the king said is not bad, but the total number of soldiers and horses in our hands is not half of the humble, even if we have the intention to rescue Da Shan Yu, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the royal court!" ”

"The warriors under General Deng's command are all good, with them, we will win this battle!" Having seen the means of dragon cavalry guards, King Zuogu Li now thinks about being quietly taken out of the barracks that day, and there are bursts of cold sweat on his back, and he is very confident to say to everyone in the tent: "As long as you are willing to rescue Da Shan Yu, General Deng will definitely be a pioneer for us!" ”

When Liu Wei conquered the Xiongnu for the first time, the dragoon guard was still used as an elite cavalry, and the Hun kings and generals sitting in the king's tent did not know the power of the dragoon.

When King Zuogu Li said Deng Zhan as their pioneer, a king of the Xiongnu tribe stood up, a strange smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth, and said to King Zuogu Li and Deng Zhan: "It's not that I don't believe in the combat power of the Qin army, the Qin army is brave, and the world knows it!" It's just that General Deng's department has only more than 500 people, how can such a small army be worthy of the pioneer position? ”

By the will of the king of the Xiongnu tribe, King Zuo Guli frowned, and was about to speak, but Deng Zhan glanced at him and stopped what he was about to say.

Looking at the king of the Xiongnu tribe, Deng Zhan said to him in a calm tone: "This king doesn't know the bravery of my Great Qin soldiers, so you might as well like this, the king can order the most elite warriors in front of the tent to compete with the soldiers under the command of the last general, and try to see if the soldiers under the command of the last general can be a pioneer!" ”

"Good!" When he was defeated by the Qin army, many Huns were still very afraid of the Qin king Liu Wei in their hearts, but they were not very convinced by the ordinary soldiers of the Qin army, Deng Zhan just said that he could let the warriors in front of his tent compete with the dragoon guards, and the king of the Hun tribe hurriedly responded: "In this way, this king will send ten warriors ......"

"Someone!" As soon as the king of the Xiongnu tribe said that he would send ten warriors, Deng Zhan shouted outside the tent.

A dragoon guard guarding outside the tent heard the shout, lifted the curtain and stepped into the king's tent, and bowed towards Deng Zhan with his fists in his fists.

"From among you and others, call two people at random to test their martial arts skills with the warriors in front of the king's tent!" Looking at the dragoon guards who entered the tent, Deng Zhan said in a very calm tone: "No matter who fights, you must remember that your own family members compete, and you can't hurt people with your own hands!" ”

"No!" The dragoon replied, then lifted the curtain and shouted outside: "One more person come in!" ”

As soon as he finished shouting, another dragoon guard strode into the king's tent.

When the two dragoons entered the king's tent, Deng Zhan said to the king of the Hun tribe who was going to send warriors to compete with the dragoons: "This king, what does the king think of these two people competing with the top ten warriors in your tent?" ”

The Huns have always been known for their fierceness and bravery, seeing that Deng Zhan only sent two dragoon guards, and it was very random to name them, obviously in the entire dragoon guard camp, there are many people who are much stronger than these two, and the king of the Hun tribe frowned tightly, and a depression arose in his heart!

"The warriors in front of this king's tent are all carefully selected warriors!" Turning his head to look at the two dragoons standing at the tent, the Hun King frowned, and said with unhappiness in his tone: "The general only sent two soldiers, and it was the tenth of World War II, could it be that he despised my Hun warriors?" ”

"The king is serious!" Deng Zhan had an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to the king of the Hun tribe: "The Hun warriors are brave and brave, and they are also known to everyone in the world, but I am a Great Qin soldier, everyone is strong in martial arts, with two enemies and ten, it is difficult to determine the outcome of the victory!" The king doesn't need to worry, but after watching the competition! ”

"Since the general said so, he can't complain about this king bullying people!" Snorted coldly, the king of the Xiongnu tribe also shouted outside the tent: "Someone!" ”

A Hun warrior stepped into the tent, and as soon as he stopped, the king of the Hun tribe spoke: "Select ten of the bravest warriors in the tribe to test their martial arts with the Great Qin warriors!" ”
