In July of the ninth year of Jian'an, with the opening of the battle in Qinghe County, the Cao army stationed in Liyang immediately launched an offensive under the command of Cao Hong.

Jizhou, which had been calm for half a year, suddenly became cloudy.

According to Cao Cao's original plan, the Battle of Qinghe should be effortless.

At the beginning of the war, as he thought, Cao's army was like a bamboo. After Shi Lian was defeated by the defilement, he died in the battle of the shell mound. It stands to reason that it should not be a big problem to take Ganling, but who would have thought that an insignificant little person suddenly appeared and defended Ganling.

Zhang Deng held on to Ganling for three days, but finally failed to resist the offensive of Cao's army and was forced to break through and flee.

But it was these three days that also gave Zhang Chao enough time to ask Bohai Taishou Guo for help. After Guo Yuan got the news, he immediately set up 8,000 soldiers and horses and quickly reinforced Qinghe. From Nanpi to Qinghe, the distance is not very far. Guo Yuan did not rush to Ganling immediately, but stationed in Tobu Castle and put on a decisive posture. At the same time, Hejian Xun Kuang, Zhongshan Lu Dai, and Julu Elk Zhu also sent reinforcements one after another. In just three days, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were gathered in Tobu City and Jieqiao, and they were ready for battle.

Although Cao Cao captured Ganling, he did not achieve the desired results.

Even at the beginning of Cao's occupation of Ganling, Qinghe did have a brief panic. But as Qinghe Cui came forward to appease, the panic was quickly calmed down. Qinghe Cui's family, the first wealthy family in Qinghe County. And Cui Yan, a member of the Qinghe Cui clan, is now the history of the state assassination, which also made the Qinghe Cui clan quickly make a decision. Even if Cao Cao occupied Ganling, he did not achieve the expected results.

Meanwhile. Liyang Cao's army attacked fiercely, but it was unable to break through the Qingshui River defense line.

Xun Chen personally supervised the battle of Neihuang. Ordered the general Zhang Liao to sit in Fuyang Ju.

Xiao Ling and Xu Sheng were stationed on both sides of Fuyangju, forming an effective protection for Zhang Liao.

With the help of Dong Zhao, although Cao Hong tried many times, Zhang Liao never moved. He led his troops to garrison the Qingshui River, and blocked the footsteps of Cao's army to the north. Even if Shi Lian was killed and the news of the loss of Ganling came, it failed to shake Zhang Liao by half a point......

Cao Cao, I'm a little nervous!

"Chuang Er has not moved so far. There will be trickery. ”

According to his thoughts, he captured Ganling, and Liu Chuang would definitely lead his troops to the enemy.

Who knows, Liu Chuang has not appeared for a long time. However, Zhuge Liang led reinforcements to the south and quickly came to the river. At the same time, news came from Youzhou. The general requisitioned Xihe Taishou Zhang Yan to lead 30,000 Montenegrin troops to the south from Bingzhou, obviously to reinforce Jizhou...... But. What about Liu Chuang? Liu Chuang's delay in seeing movement also made Cao Cao feel a little frightened. Is this guy so confident?

Cao Cao was worried, and he didn't dare to continue to attack Dongwu City.

Truth be told, there is no longer the effect of the surprise soldier...... The Han army defended Tobu Castle and the boundary bridge, and if they wanted to go north, they had to fight hard.

But the problem is. Why didn't Liu Chuang show up for a long time?

Just when Cao Cao was suspicious of the ghost's plan, Du Ji who was far away in Hedong and Gao Shun who was too shou of Shangdang were divided into two roads, and Du Ji, who was too shou of Hedong, took the general Biqiu Xing as the vanguard, crossed Wangwu Mountain, and captured Jiguan; Shangdang Taishou Gaoshun passed through Taihang Mountain. Soldiers are in Aoi City. The two groups of people appeared so suddenly that Hanoi had not received any news before. Wait until Kawachi Taishou senses that something is wrong. Biqiu Xing has led an army of 8,000 to capture Yewang, which is a stone's throw away from Huai County. And Gao Shun ordered Cao Xing to be the vanguard army, seize the shooting dog gathering, and block the Shanyang reinforcements. Gao Shun himself personally led an army of 6,000 to Yongcheng, echoing Du Ji from afar and attacking Huaixian.

The Han army's movements were too fast and too sudden......

So much so that Cao Jun was caught off guard and lost consecutive battles.

At the same time, a folk song began to circulate in Hanoi: Flying Bears are now, the Central Plains is in turmoil, thousands of troops and horses cross the river, and the Red Emperor enters Luoyang......

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was once the son of the Red Emperor, and he killed the snake.

Now that such a folk song has suddenly appeared in Hanoi County, everyone can't help but panic.

When the news reached Xu Du, Xun Yu's face changed greatly.

He shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly gathered everyone, "Today, the thieves have invaded Hanoi, and I am afraid that they want to force the river and attack the Tiger Pass." ”

The biggest difference between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao is that after Cao Cao crossed the river, he was still thousands of miles away from Yanjing.

But if Liu Chuang crosses the Yellow River and the soldiers are in the Tiger Pass, he can directly threaten Xu Du. One has a long strategic depth, and the other can only face it head-on. Therefore, when the Han army invaded Hanoi, Xun Yu realized that Liu Chuang did not intend to fight Cao Cao in Jizhou at all. In fact, if Liu Chuang crossed the river and approached the Tiger Pass, Cao Cao was afraid that he would be even more anxious.

What a draw!

Xun Yu couldn't help but praise himself secretly in his heart.

He originally planned to fight the Yellow River and fight a decisive battle with Liu Chuang in Hebei, but he didn't want Liu Chuang to care about the gains and losses of the Qinghe River at all, and he actually wanted to fight a decisive battle in Henan.

But this time, it really hit Cao Cao's weakness.

"Xun Shangshu, I can't help but be too nervous.

Now that we still have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Hanoi, how can the thieves take it lightly?

I would like to lead my troops to Hanoi to defend against the thieves. As long as the thieves are kept in Hanoi, it will not be long before he will retreat. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Xiahoudun.

After the Battle of Guanzhong, Cao Cao transferred Xiahoudun back to Xudu.

In this attack on Hebei, he did not wait for Xiahoudun to go, but ordered him to stay in Xudu and assist Xun Yu.

Xun Yu frowned, "Yuan let's go, and don't take it lightly." ”

"Ha, Wen Ruoxiu boosts the morale of others and destroys his own prestige.

I know that the thief is powerful, and I don't want to say anything...... Defeat the thief, I may not have the ability. But he is 100% sure of stopping him in Hanoi. ”

Xun Yu pondered for a long time, and also felt that it was an excellent way to let Xiahoudun go to Hanoi to support.

Now it's up to us to see who makes it to the end.

As long as Cao Cao can occupy Qinghe County, or Cao Hong can conquer Neihuangcheng, Liu Chuang will definitely not continue to attack Hanoi and collect troops to help.

"Since that's the case, let's ask Yuan to make it hard."

Xun Yu immediately ordered Xiahoudun to lead his troops to Hanoi.

Meantime. He also sent someone to Qinghe to deliver a letter to inform Cao Cao of the situation in Hanoi.

"Youxue!"

"Whoa!"

"Yuan let this go to Hanoi. But I'm still not reassured.

The thief is brave and treacherous, and Yuan Rang is probably not his opponent. Once Hanoi is lost, the thieves will surely be imprisoned...... I want you to immediately lead your troops to the Tiger Prison, and if Hanoi is lost, you will immediately send troops to the rescue. Well, let Wen Lie be the deputy general to help you. ”

Cao Peng has now returned to Xudu.

When he was in the spring. He fell seriously ill and returned to Xudu from Qingzhou to rest.

This time Cao Cao crossed the river to fight, and Cao Peng did not accompany him.

After listening to Xun Yu's instructions, he immediately took the order and left.

Unexpectedly, this Liu Chuang is so bold...... Regardless of Hebei, but to storm Hanoi.

I have to say that his trick is indeed ingenious. Once Liu Chuang crossed Hebei. Then Cao Cao's previous plans will be in vain.

Thinking of this, he was also extremely worried.

But at the same time, he had an inexplicable excitement......

When he returned home, Cao Peng asked his family to pack their bags and prepare to move to the barracks tomorrow. Then he led his troops to the expedition.

How do you know that he had just eaten, and saw Cao Zhang, Guo Yi and Dian Manxing rushing over, "Brother, did you hear that you are going to Tiger Prison Pass?" ”

At the end of the Battle of Jizhou last year, Cao Zhang's three were also captured by Cao Cao and returned to Xudu.

For the efforts made by the three of them at the last moment of the Battle of Jizhou. Cao Cao also appreciated it very much.

But Cao Cao was very angry when he didn't say goodbye to Cao Zhang...... After the three of them returned to Xudu. They were confined to their homes and were not allowed to step out of the house. It wasn't until Cao Cao went out on the expedition that Cao Zhang's three people regained their freedom. Hearing that Cao Peng was going to Tiger Prison Pass, the three of them were immediately interested. So, Cao Zhang reported to Mrs. Bian, and later went to Cao Peng's residence and begged to accompany him.

Cao Peng frowned when he heard this.

Cao Zhang's martial arts and skills, he knows very well.

This kid is sixteen years old this year, but this martial arts has reached the peak of qi cultivation, and he is about to break through the realm of refining gods.

To be honest, in Xudu City, there are really not many people who are Cao Zhang's opponents...... Not to mention that it is also a peak of qi cultivation, and its divine power is amazing. If the two of them follow each other, it is equivalent to two more generals at the peak of their cultivation, and there is also a little ghost Guo Yi.

Although this kid is not very old, he is very resourceful.

When he insisted on Liyang last year, Guo Yi had already begun to show his edge, and even Cao Cao admired him very much.

But......

The battle in the Tiger Prison may not be as easy as imagined.

If Liu Chuang can't defeat Hanoi, it's fine, if he breaks through Hanoi and crosses the river, then there will inevitably be a fierce battle in the Tiger Pass.

The war in Hebei is in full swing.

But Liu Chuang has not shown up so far, maybe he will personally lead the army and go to the tiger prison.

In case something happens to Cao Zhang, his sin will be great...... Cao Cao's sons, the eldest son Cao Ang died in Wancheng, and the second son Cao Pi is now exiled to Hailing. If Cao Zhang had three longs and two shorts, wouldn't Cao Cao be heartbroken? Who will bear this responsibility?

"Ziwen, do you really want to go with me?"

Cao Peng didn't dare to refuse immediately, so he spoke.

Last year, Cao Peng also heard about the behavior of these three boys.

If, if he rejected the three of them, wouldn't it be more troublesome for the three of them to leave quietly?

Cao Zhang and Guo Yidianman looked at each other, and then nodded vigorously, "Now that my father and brother-in-law are fighting in Hebei, how can I watch?" ”

"Yes, I didn't see a flying bear last time, but I want to see it this time."

Cao Peng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You want to go on the expedition, I have no objection."

However, when you are in the army, the three of you must be at my disposal. Later, I will visit my wife at home and persuade her to agree...... But you must make sure that the three of you can't act on your own, whether the ladies agree or not, or you won't want me to take you out in the future. ”

"A gentleman's word."

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

Cao Zhang and the three left happily, but it gave Cao Peng a headache.

He was really worried about these three boys...... Just take them with you, and you can take care of them.

Cao Peng thought of this, so he packed up and prepared to go out to Cao's Mansion to meet Mrs. Bian. Who knows, he just walked out of the mansion, but saw a young man hurrying over. Cao Peng recognized the young man, who was Jia Xu's son, Jia Mu. Jia Mu came to Liu Chuang and grabbed his arm, "Youxue, something happened...... Come with me, my father is invited. ”

"Huh? What's going on? ”

Cao Peng sighed in his heart and couldn't help asking.

Jamu whispered, "Wang Zitai, dead!" ”
