As early as when Cao Cao launched an attack on Qinghe, Liu Chuang had led his troops to quietly come to Shangdang and hide in Gao Shun's army.

In order to strengthen the effect of the suspicious soldiers, Liu Chuang only brought three hundred flying bear guards to participate in the battle this time, and the rest of the flying bear guards were all left behind in Yanjing City under the leadership of Jiang and Tai Shixiang. This is also the main reason why Cao Cao did not realize that Liu Chuang had left Yanjing.

In the battle of Hanoi, Liu Chuang can be said to have been planning for a long time.

In the sixth year of Jian'an, the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had not yet ended, and Liu Chuang had just captured Youzhou, and the foundation was not yet stable. When everyone was still confused about the future, Liu Chuang had sent Sima Yi to secretly return to Hanoi and start making arrangements in Hanoi.

Shan Yao, that is, at that time, was recruited by Sima Yi.

Speaking of Shanyao, many people may not have heard of it. Even Liu Chuang, including Liu Chuang, doesn't know much about Shanyao.

But in fact, although this Shanyao is not famous in history, he has an amazing son named Shantao...... That's right, it was the mountain giant source known as one of the seven sages of the bamboo forest.

Of course, Shantao at this time has not yet been born, and it will not be in the world until the tenth year of Jian'an. It is precisely because of this that Liu Chuang doesn't know where Shanyao is sacred, and he only heard Sima Yi say that this person has some talents. Shan Yao's fame may not be as big as his mountain Tao, which is listed as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, but he also has real talent and learning.

Speaking of which, Shan Yao and Sima Lang knew each other, and it was with such a relationship that Sima Yi and Shan Yao got in touch.

Initially, Shan Yao was reluctant to serve Sima Yi, because the situation at that time was that the dispute between Yuan and Cao was inconclusive, and Liu Chuang was nothing more than a prince trapped in Youzhou. However, Sima Yi was extremely sure that in the dispute between Yuan and Cao, the Yuan clan would be defeated...... And next, the battle of Cao Liu and Liu Chuang will inevitably win. With mental calculation or unintentional, from the very beginning of the dispute between Cao and Liu, Liu Chuang had the upper hand. Sima Yi also made a bet with Shan Yao at that time that it would not take two years, Yuan Shao would be defeated, and the Yuan family would also be gone......

But in fact, the Yuan family only lasted for a year!

It was then that Yamayo changed his attitude.

As the duel between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao unfolded, Liu Chuang won one after another, which made Shanyao strengthen his confidence.

Subsequently, Shan Yao joined the Yellow Pavilion and served as the Jingzhao Chronicle...... I'm afraid that even Cao Cao would not have thought that Liu Chuang's detailed head in the Jingzhao region turned out to be a county lieutenant in Hanoi. Such an unappreciated position provided enough protection for Shanyao, and even made Shanyao take over the defense of Huai County after Liu Chuang lured out Xiahou, and welcomed Du Qifa into Huaixian County.

The destruction of Huai County also indicates that the war in Hanoi has come to an end.

In fact, as early as after Liu Chuang occupied Hedong, he constantly asked Du Ji to exert pressure on Hanoi...... Now that Xu Huang and Xiahou have been defeated, the living forces of Hanoi County have almost been wiped out. Even if there are still some remnants, it is no longer Liu Chuang who needs to pay attention.

He left Gao Shun behind, plus Qiu Xing and a local snake Shanyao, it was not difficult to pacify Hanoi.

What's more, Liu Chuang is convinced that the Sima clan of Wen County, another snake in Hanoi, will also make some choices at this time. Previously, although Sima Fang asked Sima Yi to follow Liu Chuang, he did not invest too much strength. It can be said that except for one Sima Yi, the Sima family did not give Liu Chuang any help. In this regard, Liu Chuang did not feel angry! Under that circumstance at that time, Liu Chuang didn't even have a place to stay, and the Sima clan was able to send the second son of the family to follow Liu Chuang, which was already done to the fullest extent of benevolence and righteousness.

However, this time, that time.

Liu Chuang is not what it used to be, and I believe that Sima will also give some compensation.

As long as the Sima clan is willing to intervene, the situation in Hanoi can be stabilized quickly.

Liu Chuang has this confidence, and at the same time, he firmly believes that Sima Fang's old treacherous and cunning, how can he not make any moves at this time?

So, there is no need to worry about the situation in Hanoi.

What Liu Chuang has to do now is to fight the Yellow River as much as possible and go to the Tiger Pass.

The pressure on Jizhou is too great...... Don't look at Liu Chuang's indifferent appearance on the surface, but in fact, he can't let go of Cao Cao's attack on the Qinghe River and Shi Lian's death. In particular, Shi Chuan was killed, which also made Liu Chuang feel extremely sad...... Although there was Zhuge Liang in the Battle of Qinghe and Xun Chen in the Battle of Weijun, in Liu Chuang's mind, Cao Cao stayed in Hebei for one more day, and Hebei would be more threatening. Only by crossing the river, approaching Henan, and forcing Cao Cao to withdraw from Hebei, can Liu Chuang be at ease.

Therefore, Liu Chuang did not want to stay in Hanoi for a moment.

He didn't even enter the gate of Huaixian County, and only ordered to camp in Huaixian County for a day, and at the same time ordered Cao Xing to lead his troops to pursue and cross the river as much as possible.

Xiahou and Xu Huang are not stupid!

After losing Huai County, the two of them knew that Hanoi was over.

If Liu Chuang hadn't come in person, they wouldn't have had a chance to stabilize their position. But since Liu Chuang is here, his purpose has become very clear.

The main force of Cao's army has lost most of it in Huai County.

Although there are still some soldiers and horses in Pinggao and Wenxian, there is no time to transfer them.

Liu Chuang will definitely not give them time to re-drum, since he has captured Huaixian, then the next step must be to march towards Henan. In this case, resistance seems meaningless. Especially in the battle of Huaixian, Liu Chuang also used the heavenly thunder fire, which further showed that Liu Chuang was bound to cross the river. If you want to stop Liu Chuang again, it is obviously unlikely...... The top priority is to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass as much as possible and join Cao Peng, in order to block the footsteps of the Han army and buy more time for Xun Yu and Cao Cao.

Therefore, the two of them traveled all the way, and without even resting in Pinggao, they crossed the Yellow River overnight.

After crossing the river, Xu Huang ordered the boats along the river to be burned.

Although this was not enough to stop the Han army, it could delay some time so that Cao Peng could calmly arrange in the tiger prison.

Cao Peng was also taken aback when he learned that Xiahou had lost Huaixian.

Even if he had prepared in his heart, when he heard that Liu Chuang had used the Heavenly Thunder Fire, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Fei Tinghou, since Liu Chuang has appeared in Hanoi, I believe that it will not be long before the soldiers will inevitably come to the Tiger Prison.

We need to prepare early...... Yi thought that the eldest brother could be stationed in Xingyang, and he could echo with the prince and marquis, threaten the flank of the thief army, and contain the thief army. I speculate that Liu Chuang must not have too many soldiers and horses when he came this time. We just need to defend the tiger prison and wait for reinforcements. ”

The 'eldest brother' in Guo Yi's mouth refers to Cao Xiu.

Cao Peng thought about it and agreed, so he immediately ordered Cao Xiu to rush to Xingyang to take charge.

He originally planned to let Xiahou and Xu Huang return to Xudu, but who knew that Xiahou and Xu Huang did not agree.

"I lost Hanoi, how can I return to Xudu?

Youxue doesn't have to worry about us, just regard the two of us as a part, and Gongming and I want to compete with Liu Chuang before this tiger prison. ”

Xia Hou gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment.

And Xu Huang also nodded again and again, expressing his approval......

To tell the truth, this defeat in Hanoi was too unjust.

Whether it was Xiahou or Xu Huang, he was a little unconvinced. Of course, they knew Cao Peng's concerns, so they showed enough posture from the beginning and were willing to obey Cao Peng's dispatch. Although Cao Peng was reluctant in his heart, it was not good to refuse again.

In this way, Cao Peng sent someone to Xudu overnight to deliver the letter.

At the same time, he ordered the Tiger Pass to strengthen the garrison to prevent the Han army from sneaking attacks......

"Prince, the thief army is quite powerful, I have a plan to thwart its edge."

When Cao Peng went to the top of the city to inspect, Guo Yi stepped forward and said softly: "The horse has been reported that the thief army has arrived on the north bank of the river and is looking for tools to cross the river. Although General Xu and the others burned the boat after crossing the river, I am afraid that it will not be delayed for too long.

According to my estimate, the army of thieves will surely cross the river at dawn.

They won a big victory in Hanoi, and they didn't think they would have much defense. The prince can send a force of troops and horses to ambush at the crossing of the river...... After the thief army crosses the river, taking advantage of its unstable foothold, a sudden attack will surely defeat the thief army, frustrate its sharp spirit, and boost the heart of our army. ”

"What if they were on guard?"

Guo Yi said with a smile: "If the thief army is prepared, it is not a big deal...... When the time comes, you only need to order the troops to be withdrawn, and I believe that the other party is helpless. ”

Cao Peng thought about it and thought that Guo Yi's idea was good.

"In that case, I will gather my troops and horses and go to the ferry to ambush."

"Why should the prince go to war himself? This is just the vanguard of the thief army, and there is no need for the prince to go out in person.

We have just discussed with Ziwen and my son, and we are willing to lead the troops to the ferry to ambush...... Hehe, in this way, it can be regarded as a credit to me. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he immediately laughed.

Guo Yi clearly said: Don't take credit from us......

As long as Liu Chuang did not cross the river, there would be no danger. I heard that the vanguard of the thief army was Cao Xing, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's tent. Cao Peng also grew up in Xuzhou, how could he not have heard of Cao Xing's name? However, he is not worried about Cao Xing. Although Cao is calm and brave and good at fighting...... But in Cao Peng's eyes, although Cao Xing is brave, he is very different from Liu Chuang.

Cao Xing's bravery, although he can kill generals and capture the flag, is not enough to turn the tide of the battle on his own.

If only in terms of bravery, Cao Zhang and Dianman, neither of them will be inferior to Cao Xing. Coupled with Guo Yi's assistance, presumably Cao Xing is definitely not the opponent of these three boys. Thinking of this, Cao Peng nodded, "Since this is the case, Ziwen will fight." ”

Guo Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran down the city to find Cao Zhang and Dianman.

Xia Hou couldn't help but be a little worried, and he said softly: "Youxue, I don't want to interfere in your military affairs...... It's just that Ziwen and his son are still young, and although Boyi is smart, he is not yet at the age of a weak crown after all. Let the three of them go, in case of danger, is it not your fault and mine? When the time comes, the lord will blame you, and you will inevitably be implicated and blamed for this matter. ”

Cao Peng, but smiled.

"Uncle Hugh wants to underestimate Ziwen and Boyi, although he is young, he complements each other with both literature and martial arts, but he can't be taken lightly."
