Shouchun City was once the capital of Yuan Shu.

Liu Wei broke through Shouchun and withdrew the army to Luoyang.

The people inside and outside the city were properly settled, and the rule of the Qin army was soon recognized.

The one who was stationed in Shouchun was none other than the former Yellow Turban Fierce General Poison, and the one who guarded the city with Yu Poison was also a Yellow Turban general.

This person's surname is Cao Mingxun, who was under the command of Poison back then, and was soon promoted to a partial general because of his bravery in the past battles.

Because he was also a yellow scarf earlier, and he admired the poison very much, Cao Xun assisted the poison to guard Shouchun, and the two of them also controlled Shouchun in an orderly manner.

On Shouchun City, the ink-colored battle flag of the Qin army fluttered with the wind, making a "hulala" sound under the movement of the wind.

Yu Poison and Guan Hai are also Yellow Turban generals, but he is a little different from Guan Hai.

Guan Hai is a fierce general, he never falls behind in the charge, although Yu Poison is a fierce general, he also has a little wisdom.

Cao Ren's army was stationed between Xuzhou and Huainan, and Yu Poison had already smelled a strong smell of conquest.

"General Cao!" Standing on the city wall, looking at the ups and downs of the Xiangling Tomb in the distance, Yu Poison asked Cao Xun behind him: "Do you think Cao Ren's army is stationed between Xuzhou and Huainan, if they march, where will they march?" ”

"General!" Hearing Yu Poison's question, Cao Xun clenched his fists and bowed to him and said: "Xuzhou Liu Bei, although there are many soldiers, but the soldiers and horses are negligent in training, if Cao Ren is a crusade, he will win more and lose less!" In Shouchun City, although our army is only 3,000, the soldiers are all brave, and many of them are even warriors who crawled out of the pile of dead! The last general thinks that Cao Ren is afraid that it is ......"

"General Cao is too arrogant!" Before Cao Xun finished speaking, Yu Xun waved his hand and said: "Most of our army are warriors in a hundred battles, and Cao Jun has not been idle for many years. Although the two armies meet, the brave wins! But after all, our army has few people, but its bravery is not necessarily stronger than Cao's army! ”

"What does the general mean ......" Yu Poison said something, stunned Cao Xun for a moment, and hurriedly asked him.

"Then Cao Ren is afraid that he will come to attack Shouchun!" Looking at the outside of the city, Yu Poison said to Cao Xun: "Order, soldiers, these days to prevent spies from mixing in the city, all outsiders, etc., must be checked clearly before entering the city!" ”

"No!" In his heart, he was very convinced of the poison, and Cao Xun would not refute what he said, so he hurriedly responded with his fists clenched.

Yu Xuan and Cao Xun were making arrangements in Shouchun City, in the Cao Ren military camp only a hundred miles away from Shouchun.

Cao Ren sat in the tent, looked around at the generals in the tent, and said to the generals: "Everyone, Duke Cao has an order to ask us to crusade against Shouchun......

"Isn't it a crusade against Xuzhou?" Before Cao Ren's words were finished, a partial general subconsciously asked.

The words were spoken, and the general suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Cao Ren is the boss after all, interrupting the boss to speak, if Cao Ren is annoyed, he is afraid that he will have to be beaten.

What quickly relieved the general was that Cao Ren was not annoyed, but just pressed his hand twice and said, "Don't panic, General Rong Ben will finish speaking!" ”

When they set out on the expedition, everyone was ordered to crusade against Xuzhou, but they didn't expect that now when the war came, they suddenly changed their opponents, and all their eyes looked at Cao Ren.

"Ming Gong believes that Shouchun guards the main road between Xuzhou and Luoyang, if it is not broken here, our army will attack Luoyang in the future, there will be one less passage!" Looking around at everyone, Cao Ren said very calmly: "Now the King of Qin has already sent a document to crusade against the Duke of Ming. Ming Gong didn't want to sit back and wait for the Qin army to move first, so he wanted to pull out Shouchun. Otherwise, our army will attack Xuzhou, and the Shouchun Qin army can also attack our army from behind! ”

After listening to Cao Ren's explanation, everyone nodded.

"Yesterday, General Ben got a letter from the military advisor!" Seeing that everyone nodded, Cao Ren took out the letter written by Guo Jia to him from his arms, and said to everyone: "In the letter, the military advisor expected that the King of Qin would send soldiers and horses to help Shouchun, and asked us to wait for the main force to suspend the march and send a small number of soldiers and horses to intercept the Qin army in the middle of the road!" ”

"The Qin army is strong, how can a few soldiers and horses win?" Cao Ren said that only a small number of soldiers and horses would be sent, and one of the generals wrinkled his brows and muttered in a low voice.

Although the general's words were very quiet, Cao Ren grinned and didn't care, and then said to everyone: "There are many ministers under the command of King Qin, and there are only besieged cities to help, how can you not see the clues?" ”

was asked by Cao Ren like this, everyone was stunned, and their faces were dazed, not knowing what Cao Ren was selling.

"The military advisor said in the letter that the siege of the city is to be done, but it is just for example!" Looking around at everyone, Cao Ren said to them: "You and others are all generals in the army, you should know that the Qin army is strong, if our army fights hard with it, it is difficult to determine the victory or defeat!" ”

"General, you said it! What do you want me to wait? Cao Ren was selling Guanzi, but the generals in the tent were all anxious, and a partial general couldn't help but urge.

"The military advisor just turned these four words upside down!" The corners of his mouth twitched, and Cao Ren smiled slightly.

"Upside down?" Everyone looked at Cao Ren with a stunned expression.

"General, this siege is reversed, but it is just a siege, what is the difference?" Everyone was at a loss, and one of the generals scratched his head and asked Cao Ren.

"The military advisor is sure that King Qin's reinforcements will definitely set off earlier than our army!" After getting Guo Jia's letter, Cao Ren already knew how to fight this battle, and his heart was full of confidence at this time, and he said to the generals: "Our army was intercepted and killed in the middle of the road, and was defeated by the Qin army, the Qin army will definitely be proud, and it will be negligent in guarding all the way!" Along the way, if our army does not intercept, it will make them think that our army is weak and can be bullied! ”

Listening to Cao Ren's explanation, everyone in the tent still didn't quite understand what kind of strategy Guo Jia was.

Marching and fighting, what he is most afraid of is losing the first battle, if the first battle is lost, it is a sharp spirit, but Guo Jia is going to lose the first battle of intercepting and killing the Qin army, how can the generals who make a living from fighting not feel strange?

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the generals, Cao Ren said: "When the Qin army reinforcements arrive at Shouchun City, and the Qin army in the city can see the reinforcements, our army will suddenly kill again." The reinforcements of the Qin army saw that the city was close at hand, just waiting to enter the city, where would they have thought that our army was ambushing nearby? ”

When Cao Ren said such a thing, everyone suddenly realized, and they all praised Guo Jia's clever plan.

"Cao Gong's order has been issued, pass the order, today the army is full of war meals, and tomorrow morning, our army will go to battle!" Seeing that the generals understood Guo Jia's intentions, Cao Ren stood up and waved his hand at the generals.

"Order!" All the generals stood up and responded with fists clenched.

Cao Ren received Guo Jia's instructions, and Lu Bu, who received Liu Wei's orders, also ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses to leave Luoyang City and march towards Shouchun.

As Lu Bu's deputy general, they are also two ruthless people.

One of them was Pei Yuanshao, who was guarding Erniu Mountain when Liu Wei had raised troops earlier, and the other was Han Xian.

The servants led the army out of Luoyang, all the way to the south, and entered the Huainan territory in a short day.

After entering Huainan and looking around at the mountains and forests on the side of the road, Pei Yuanshao said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, our army has been out of Luoyang since it has been fine. His Royal Highness had already sent a message, but the army had moved, Cao Cao should have known that it was aimed at him, why didn't he send troops and horses to intercept and kill? ”

Also feeling a little puzzled, Lu Bu frowned slightly, looked at the mountains and forests on the side of the road and said: "In the area of Xiangling, although there are not many high mountains, the grass and trees on the gentle slope are thick, even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops ambushed, it is difficult to find!" After passing the order, all the troops must be cautious and beware of Cao's sudden killing! ”

"No!" I always felt a little uneasy in my heart, so Pei Yuanshao reminded Lu Bu.

Lu Bu agreed with him, Pei Yuanshao hurriedly responded, and shouted to the army behind him: "Keep your eyes open, be careful of Cao Jun's sudden kill!" ”

"No!" The soldiers of the Qin army who followed behind heard Pei Yuanshao's shout and responded one after another.

The Qin army in the back couldn't hear Pei Yuanshao's shouting, but his companions passed the word, and they all got orders soon.

An army of 30,000 is quite a few.

Walking on the road, the mighty is like a long dragon winding forward.

If this long dragon looks closely, it will feel that it is impossible to see the edge at a glance, but when it stands on the top of the mountain and looks at it, it will feel that the number of people is not more than Erer.

Leading the army forward, Lu Bu looked at the tomb on the side of the road.

Early summer has come, and the mountains are lush with vegetation, and you can't see anything on the mountain at a glance.

The wind swept the grass and trees on the mountain, and the Qin army walking on the road could hear the "rustling" sound of the grass and trees.

The Qin army, which has been fighting all year round and has never been defeated, will take the sound of the grass and trees as a thing, and one by one they are still holding their heads high and striding along the road towards Shouchun.

The Qin army marched on the avenue below the mountain, and on the slopes of the mountain, thousands of Cao soldiers with longbows in their hands were silently watching them come from a distance.

The Qin army under the mountain was getting closer and closer, and all Cao Jun's palms were covered with cold sweat.

Cao's army can also be regarded as an army that can fight habitually, but in their previous battles, they were defeated and won, and now what they have to deal with is an army that maintains the myth of invincibility.

As Qin Jun got closer and closer, every Cao Jun could feel as if their hearts were about to stop beating.

They are about to fight with a strong army, and what is even more terrifying is that the Cao army in ambush in the Xiangling Mountain is only 5,000 people, while the Qin army marching under the mountain is 30,000 people!

"Sue the soldiers, don't be in a hurry!" A partial general squatted in front of Cao Jun and whispered to the soldiers behind him: "Wound the bow and arrows, and wait for the general's order!" ”

"No!" The soldier crouching behind the general received the order, raised his fists, and whispered a reply.

The soldier conveyed the order, looking at the Qin army under the hillside, the general also subconsciously licked his lips, raised his arm and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead.
