Yoshimoto didn't know what foreign aid Jin Yi and Wei Huang had found, and he wasn't in the mood to know.

Of course, even if he wanted to know, Jin Yi and Wei Huang might not sue him. To put it bluntly, Kim Yi Wei Huang and Yoshimoto are not the same kind of people. Jin Yi Wei Huang was born in a wealthy family, and Yoshimoto was just a small imperial doctor. The two sides are characters living in two worlds, how can there be any friendship? If there is anything in common, I am afraid that they are very loyal to the Han Emperor.

What Yoshimoto wants now is just to kill Cao Cao and return the original glory of the Son of Heaven. However, there is one thing that Jin Yi said is right, the longer the time drags on, the easier it is to show his feet, and the easier it is to be discovered by Cao Cao. He is now riding a tiger and it is difficult to take action. On the way home, Yoshimoto thought a lot...... When he arrived at the door, he made a decision in his heart.

"Madam, please bring Ji Miao and Ji Mu here."

When Gibbon returned home, he instructed his wife to find his two sons.

Ji Miao is twenty-two years old, and Ji Mu is also ten ** years old, both of whom have passed the age of weak crowns.

The two children did not learn Yoshimoto's medical skills, but practiced martial arts since childhood, and they were quite martial. Usually in Xudu City, he often mixes with some gentlemen, so he also has some reputation. After coming to the study, the Jimiao Jimu brothers were all nervous. The two of them saluted Yoshimoto and stood aside. Don't look at Yoshimoto as just a doctor, but this sect is very strict.

Yoshimoto took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow your two brothers will take your mother out of the city and go back to your hometown in Runan for some time." ”

"Father, what are you going to do when you come home?"

"If you want to go back, then go back, where did all this noise come from?"

Yoshimoto's face sank and he scolded the two brothers.

Ji Miao quickly closed his mouth, but there was a reluctant expression on his face.

"Master, what the hell is going on? This is so decent, why do you want my mother and son to go back to their hometown? ”

Yoshimoto's wife sat beside him, her words full of doubt.

Indeed, there are no relatives in my hometown, and it is a little strange for this good guy to suddenly return to his hometown, and something must have happened.

Yoshimoto glanced at his old wife, who had been with him for half his life, and sighed softly.

"Madam, don't ask about this matter, I want you to take the two children back, just in case.

Ji Miao, Ji Mu ...... You two are also older now, and you used to mess around outside, and I didn't bother to ask. After that, you have to take care of this family. Now that the city of Xudu is not very peaceful, even I am not sure what will happen. After you two left, you stayed in your hometown. If nothing happens, I will send for you. But if something happens......"

Yoshimoto hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I will immediately take your mother to Jiangxia and defect to Liu Yuanjun." ”

I think that at the beginning, when Liu Bei was in trouble, he and Yoshimoto met and had some friendship with each other.

In Yoshimoto's view, although Liu Chuang was the uncle of the Han Emperor, he was ambitious, and it was difficult to explain his future development. It's like Jin Yi said, if you can't get Liu Chuang, you will be Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and the like. If this is the case, it is better to let the two children go to Liu Bei.

At least in Gibbon's opinion, Liu Bei is also a good person.

Started in the middle of the micro end, and experienced many setbacks, but he was very loyal to the Han family......

What's more, Liu Bei is also a relative of the Han family, and even in a certain way, the relationship between Liu Bei and the Han Emperor should be closer.

The faces of the Ji Miao Jimu brothers changed suddenly.

The two brothers opened their mouths and were about to speak, but they heard Yoshimoto say sharply: "Listen, you two, after you arrive in Jiangxia, don't be arrogant, you still need to keep a low profile." Liu Yuanjun is a benevolent person, but the affairs of Jiangxia are very complicated, you must not be idle like in Xu Du, find a serious ministry, just do things with peace of mind, don't make ......trouble again."

Ji Miao and Ji Mu glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, bowed down and said, "The child understands." ”

"Madame, take them and get ready."

Yoshimoto waved his hand and motioned for his wife and two sons to step aside.

The wife wanted to say something more, but looking at Gibbon's face, she knew that it was useless to say anything.

My husband knows best in my own heart.

Mrs. Ji sighed in her heart, blessed Yoshimoto, and then said softly: "The master is alone in Xudu, so you have to take care of yourself."

The concubines and children are waiting for you in your hometown, and please be careful. ”

When Yoshimoto heard his wife's words, his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

But in an instant, he stabilized his mind and said with a faint smile: "Madame don't have to worry about me, I will be careful, and there will never be any danger." ”

At this point, it seems that there is no need to persuade any more.

Mrs. Ji took Ji Miao and Ji Mu to retire and went back to the room to pack their bags. Yoshimoto, on the other hand, stood in the doorway, and after standing for a long time, sighed softly, and turned back into the room.

He took out a box from the shelf, opened it, and took out a stick of herbs from inside.

After hesitating for a moment, he put the medicinal herbs into the trough of grinding the herbs, and gently crushed the herbs with the medicinal grinder, his eyes burning and extremely focused.

On October 20, the ninth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang launched a continuous offensive against Guancheng.

Jia Xu also felt that the situation was a little bad, and wanted to save the situation, but Liu Chuang's offensive became more and more fierce, making him unable to fight back at all.

On the 22nd, Pang De led a group of soldiers and horses from Shangdang into Hanoi and crossed the river to Xingyang.

Pound came this time and brought another 20,000 soldiers and horses.

As a result, Liu Chuang's troops surged to 100,000 people, and his momentum became stronger than before.

Liu Chuang was also very happy about Pang De's arrival. He immediately ordered Pang De to participate in the battle, and launched an offensive against Guancheng with Huang Zhong and Xiahou Lan in turn.

And this time, neither side used the Heavenly Thunder Fire.

It's not that they don't want to use it, it's just that there is no stock on either side. In this way, the two sides returned to the situation of the earlier cold weapon war, relying on the advantage of troops and the powerful attack power of the winch crossbow, Liu Chuang once had the upper hand, which made Jia Xu quite difficult.

Just when Jia Xu was struggling to support in Guancheng, Xu Chu and Yang Jun also arrived at Yuting.

However, Xu Chu listened to Yang Jun's strategy and did not go forward with great fanfare, but personally led the army to bypass the Yuting Pavilion and ambush in the Zhanran Shui River Bay. Subsequently, Yang Jun went to the Yuting camp alone, and after some discussion with Zhang He, Zhang He led his troops to attack and fight against Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu naturally would not be afraid to fight, and led the troops to confront Zhang He in Yuting.

Just when the two sides were fighting, Xu Chu led his troops to suddenly fight out of Zhanran Shuihe Bay and attacked the flank of Cao's army.

Cao Xiu didn't expect that the Han army was in an ambush in Zhanranshui, and was caught off guard and was defeated by the Han army...... Cao Xiu fought to the death, and Fang fought a bloody way and fled to Jingxian. But before he could gain a firm foothold in Jingxian, Zhang He and Xu Chu led their troops to chase down to the city.

Cao Xiu led the defeated army to fight hard, but his morale was low, and he couldn't resist the fierce attack of the Han army, so he was defeated in Jingxian County and fled to Meishan in only half a day.

The loss of Jingxian also indicates that this Jia Xu's flank is completely exposed.

Yang Jun stopped Xu Chu and Zhang He from continuing to pursue Cao Xiu, but let Xu Chu sit in Jing County, and ordered Zhang He to attack from Jing County and attack the Guancheng Grain Road. Jia Xu naturally attached great importance to the grain road, and sent a general to escort the grain and grass.

But Zhang He is not an idle person after all, he is not only proficient in the art of war, but also brave and good at fighting. His cutting off Jia Xu's grain route also made the situation in Guancheng even more critical all of a sudden.

At this time, although the Xiahou Shang brothers were stationed in Yuanyong City, it was still difficult to change the form in which the general trend had gone.

However, Jia Xu is not an ordinary person after all, and he has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist.

Seeing that Guancheng could no longer hold on, he simply ordered the city to be set on fire, and then led his troops to break through and retreat to Zhongmu.

At the same time, the two brothers Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Heng saw that Jingxian was lost and Guancheng was lost, and they also knew that this Yongcheng could not continue to be defended.

On the second day after Jia Xu evacuated Guancheng, the Xiahou Shang brothers also withdrew from Yuanyongcheng and retreated to Yangwu.

Stationed in Chenliu County, the new Chen Liutai guard Cao Peng learned that after the defeat of the Xiahou brothers, he immediately sent troops from Junyi, and the troops met and gathered to meet the Xiahou brothers.

Cao Hong led his soldiers and horses to retreat from Baima, and after arriving at Guandu, he set up camp and prepared to fight Liu Chuang here to the death.

When Liu Chuang got the news, he didn't dare to slack off.

After consulting with Fa Zheng, Yang Jun, and Lu Yu, he decided to take the initiative.

Therefore, Zhang He was stationed in Jingxian to cut off the connection between Meishan and Guandu, and Liu Chuang personally led an army of 50,000, with Huang Zhong as the vanguard, and killed Benpu Tianze.

At this time, although the defense of Cao's army in Guandu could not be completed, it had already taken shape.

After Liu Chuang arrived at Putianze, after looking at the terrain of Guandu, he couldn't help but have a headache.

This Guandu, about 200 miles away from Xudu, is also the key place to march into Xudu...... Cao Cao has stationed 60,000 soldiers and horses here, and he has already set up a position.

Liu Chuang climbed the watchtower and looked at Cao's military camp, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The battle of Guandu is a victory and a tragic victory, and it is necessary to suffer a lot of vitality."

Fa Zheng and Yang Jun nodded again and again behind Liu Chuang...... If in terms of the situation, Liu Chuang has the upper hand compared to Yuan Shao at the beginning.

At that time, Yuan Shao attacked from Hebei, and he had to guard against Heluo soldiers and horses.

And now, Liu Chuang doesn't need to guard against Heluo, and even opened the Guanzhong path, and the pressure has been much lightened compared to Yuan Shao. However, to the east of Liu Chuang, there is also Liyang Cao's army, which may come to reinforcements at any time. This also made it impossible for Liu Chuang to concentrate all his forces on attacking Guandu, and he had to send a strong army to garrison Yuanwu. On the one hand, it can block the rescue of Liyang Cao's army, and on the other hand, it can also contain Yangwu and Chen Liu's soldiers and horses. In short, in this battle of Guandu, although Liu Chuang had a slight upper hand, it was impossible for him to win lightly.

If you really have a fierce battle with Cao Cao here, to be honest, it is indeed not what Liu Chuang thinks.

Kill it, kill it...... In the end, what was lost was not all the vitality of the Han family?

"Early tomorrow morning, let General Hansheng attack and feint to attack Zhongmu!"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Before you know it, it's November.

The Han army was approaching Guandu, and the war was about to break out.

And Cao Cao's headache has also been relieved a lot after a period of adjustment.

As soon as the headache was relieved, Cao Cao was impatient to go to Guandu to supervise the battle. Previously, the Han army and the Cao army had clashed many times, with mixed victories. Cao's army had the advantage of the terrain, and had previously defeated Yuan Shao here, so the morale was quite high.

Cao Cao knew that this battle was also extremely crucial for him.

If he can defeat Liu Chuang in Guandu, he will still have a chance to regain his lost ground and recover his previous decline.

Therefore, he is also impatient...... Just when he wanted to rush to Guandu to supervise the battle, another good news came: Zhang Xiu led his troops and arrived in Xudu!
