Ever since he showed his face in the Battle of Zhaoling, Cao Cao had been in a difficult situation.

Cao Cao, because of his background, has never been treated well, especially now in the family that holds power, there are not many people who can look at Cao Cao, and the legend says that Xu Shao's evaluation of Cao Cao is 'stubborn erection'.

Of course, this legend was obtained by players when they participated in the quest 'Cao Cao's Comments', so it can't be true! I heard that this task is to help Cao Cao get Xu Shao's evaluation, as for how to get the evaluation, it depends on your ability, so many people use Mao tricks, and naturally they don't get any praise.

However, Cao Cao was born in a family of eunuchs, and it is inevitable that he will be criticized by others, and Cao Cao was very stubborn when he was young, perhaps because he was smart, so he was a little arrogant, so he did not accumulate a good reputation, you must know how important the reputation of that era was!

Although Cao Cao is not young now, he has calmed down a lot, but the arrogance in his bones is still easy to offend people, the last battle of Zhaoling, Cao Cao was indeed in the limelight, the problem is that Zhu Jun, who created the fighter for him, has a reputation for incompetence in combat, and Cao Cao thinks that the clear is turbid from the turbid, and does not explain, which makes Zhu Jun naturally have a secret disrespect for Cao Cao in his heart.

It's just that Cao Cao has his father Cao Song in Beijing as an Olympic aid, and Zhu Jun does not dare to blatantly frame Cao Cao to deal with him, but some small actions are definitely inevitable.

So Cao Cao's reputation of being arrogant and self-conscious and having no one in his eyes spread out unconsciously, Cao Cao is so smart, he naturally knows the origin of the matter, but there is no way to undo it now.

The consequences of this bad reputation soon became apparent. Cao Cao is not a fledgling boy, he naturally knows the importance of cultivating his own team, and now he is in Yingchuan, the talent pool of the Han Dynasty, so he naturally can't let go of this opportunity to be close to the water, but although Yingchuan is full of talents, Cao Cao has not been allowed to enter the door even after repeated visits, and he is obviously still famous.

And then something even worse happened. Cao Cao, who was stationed in Zhaoling, had to go to Fuqiang every time to deliver supplies, but several times in a row, the ration of supplies was insufficient. Ordnance, in particular, is even less in quantity and in quality, which is obviously a stumbling block for him. Cao Cao is not a young man with strong blood, of course he knows that these things are justified and there is nowhere to say, so he can only find a way to solve them by himself, and now the best way is naturally to purchase them by himself, the problem is money?

How could Cao Cao, who had a tenacious temperament, be stumped by this little difficulty, if he didn't have money, he would naturally have to rob it, where would he grab it? Naturally, it was snatched from the hands of the 'Yellow Turban Thief'!

Cao Cao has always been bold in doing things, and this person who has created the position of 'Touching Gold Captain' in history. What can't you do? Even Liu Bei, who seems to be loyal, dared to plant money in Jingzhou, which is separated by a county, not to mention Cao Cao, who was even more courageous.

As a result, due to the lack of supplies, Cao Cao's defense line was full of loopholes, and there were constantly 'Yellow Turban Thieves' infiltrating from Zhaoling. a class="__cf_email__" href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" data-cfemail="5a9fc41a9de5">[emailprotected], Yingchuan direction to carry out a raid, from time to time there will be rumors of the big clan in some places being washed in blood. But Cao Cao just chased after the Yellow Turban Thief, and he could only see a tail.

On the one hand, this situation made the Yingchuan clan resentful of Cao Cao, and at the same time, he also complained about Zhu Jun's chicken belly, Cao Cao's trick was really bad, not only hitting those Yingchuan clans who looked at Cao Cao unpleasantly, but also raising grain and grass for themselves. By the way, he also disgusted Zhu Jun.

But Cao Cao also has bad consequences in doing this, that is, the military tacit understanding with Zhu Jun is almost completely lost, and the players of the Yellow Turban camp also make full use of this and begin to focus on besieging Zhu Jun, although Cao Cao also wants to take this opportunity to attack the south and get enough credit and practical benefits for himself, but he is worried about the safety of Zhaoling, Cao Cao found out that he is still alone, he went out to kill thieves, and there is no one to take care of the family at home, tragedy!

As the saying goes, when you go into battle, you can fight your brothers, fight tiger father and son, Cao Cao didn't recruit people to see him, and offended Zhu Jun of the official and military system in Beijing, and wanted to find someone to help him, so he naturally recruited people from his own family to feel at ease.

So Cao Cao wrote a letter to the elders of the clan in his hometown of Qian County, saying that he was in Runan to worship the lieutenant of the cavalry, and he could bring his clan to serve as an officer.

After waiting for half a month with great anticipation, Cao Cao finally ushered in several of his own clan talents, clan brothers Cao Ren, Xiahou Dan, and Xiahou Yuan brothers, all responded to Cao Cao's call, these young people in the clan who usually don't like to read but like martial arts finally have the opportunity to get ahead, how can they easily let go.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and while arranging these brothers in the clan to familiarize themselves with military affairs and train troops, he actively prepared materials and ordnance, preparing to go south as soon as possible to attack Runan.

On August 16, when the players of the Yellow Turban camp thought that the entire strategic situation was developing in the direction of Huang Yu because of Dong Zhuo's return to the west, and relaxed slightly, Cao Cao suddenly waved his army south.

Cao Cao did not choose Dingying in front of him, but bypassed Nandun County in the south of Ruyang and took Xiang County directly.

The reason why Cao Cao is eyeing Xiang County is actually very simple, because the players in the Yellow Turban camp are using Nandun County as the fulcrum to attack Zhu Jun stationed in Ruyang, while Cao Cao's Zhaoling is only a small number of Inhuman troops to contain it, and the focus of the Inhuman troops is in the two directions of Dingying and Ruyang.

If you go to Ruyang to assist Zhu Jun, not only can you not get it, but even in turn it will be ambushed by the troops of the Inhumans on the way, as for the attack on Nanton, this is the front-line base camp of the Inhumans, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, Cao Cao chose Xiang County, Xiang County is south of Nanton, once Xiang County falls, Nanton's aliens will be attacked by the enemy, and they will definitely not be able to let go of attacking Ruyang, and it is more likely to give up Nanton in Pingxing and Fengyang to re-arrange, so that Cao Cao not only occupies the real profit of taking Xiang County, but also opens up the passage between the east and Qian County, which is regarded as his back to his hometown and a base area. So that there is no need to worry about supplies.

At the same time, the capture of Xiang County also lifted the crisis of Ruyang being besieged by strangers, which can be regarded as both public and private, and should also be a signal and olive branch for reconciliation with Zhu Jun.

Of course, there is a further aftertaste of taking down Xiang County, that is, Wuqiu, Xinyang, and Song County in the south of Xiang County are still in the hands of Yiren, and this will also be the place where Cao Cao made contributions in the future. By the way, it can be regarded as helping the hometown parents to eliminate the hidden dangers at the doorstep.

Cao Cao took Xiahoudun to Xiaosu at night, carefully avoiding the shuttle Inhuman troops, although he was very cautious along the way. However, it was still discovered by the Inhumans after crossing Nanton, because there were too many Inhuman troops from Xiang County to Nanton, and the route they traveled was relatively wild. Finally, he encountered Xiahoudun's front team in the wild, although he was completely wiped out by Xiahoudun, but Xiahoudun's toughness exposed Cao Cao's troops.

Fortunately, it was less than sixty miles away from Xiang County, and even if Yiren had some preparations, it was too late.

Xiang County's attack was the first stunning appearance of Cao Cao's combination with Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao's strong military skills, coupled with Xiahou Dan's brave military skills, and then superimposed Cao Cao's eighth-order commander bonus, although Xiang County's tens of thousands of player troops desperately resisted, but in front of these high-level strong generals. Inhumans have no advantage at all when they don't overwhelm each other in numbers, and apart from the limited damage of long-range heavy weapons, players have hardly achieved decent results.

The first battle of Xiangxian made the Xiahou brothers officially appear on the big stage of the game, and at the same time, it was also announced to the majority of players in Runan. Their good times are over, and the coming winter is cold.

After the war, on the player forum, some good deeds summarized the abilities shown by Cao Cao and Xiahoudun in the battle, of course, it is only a speculation, and it is certainly not the whole story.

Cao Cao's most powerful skills are inspiration and chaos. For his own troops, Cao Cao's encouragement almost always kept his troops in the highest state of morale, which could not only effectively defend against the enemy's control skills, but also always hit the maximum attack; And chaos is a hateful skill, once this skill is successful, the formation of the defending troops will collapse, the command will fail, and what is even more annoying is that the chaos lasts for a long time, which is likely to have something to do with the high commander of the spellcaster, and as a result, Cao Cao's chaos skills are one after another, almost making the defensive troops on the front wall in a state of inability to fight normally.

In comparison, although Xiahoudun's sweeping skills make people's hearts tremble, but they don't have the feeling of being powerless by chaos, the problem is that the troops are all chaotic, and the aliens are as vulnerable as bean sprouts in front of Xiahoudun, so the battle in Xiangxian will be so ugly, almost being drummed down by the other party.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Xiang County is not fully prepared, and Xiang County is only a first-class town, but in any case, Cao Cao's strength and Xiahoudun's strength are not something that the player troops can shake at this stage, so I advise the Yellow Turban camp players in Runan to face up to the reality and actively base themselves on the defensive war, and start from increasing Cao Cao's combat costs, and strive to defeat Cao Cao outside the war, and if you want to defeat them on the battlefield, it is still too difficult now!

Xiang County changed hands, the players in Nanton were suddenly panicked, and the players in the Yellow Turban camp around Dun County were a little panicked, Cao Cao took Don County, with Chen County in the north and Qian County in the east to support, and there was no longer logistics worries, plus Cao Cao now has a strong helper, he can let go of the surrounding small counties, clear the eastern part of Runan, and almost all the outermost outerparts of the Yellow Turban Army's territory in Runan have fallen.

The reality is so cruel, the players of the Yellow Turban camp have to accept this reality, the battle situation in Runan must shrink, and stubbornly defend Shangcai, Pingxing, Fengyang, Gushi and Ruyin, if these second-level towns can be accelerated to third-level towns, or can also block the offensive of Cao Cao and Zhu Jun, otherwise, they can only continue to retreat westward, and together with the Yellow Turban Army, stick to Canyang, Ancheng, Runan and Geyang, which is the last line of defense relying on Tongbai Mountain, and now they have all been promoted to third-level towns.

It's just that it can only be the last choice, if that day comes, it means the complete failure of the player forces of the Runan Yellow Turban camp, which means that all the previous investments have been wasted, and no force is willing to admit their complete defeat unless it is absolutely necessary.

On the contrary, the players in the imperial court camp are very happy, especially the players who are fighting in Yuzhou, with Cao Cao, victory can be expected! To be continued! ~！
