Lü Bu led 50,000 infantry, passed through the middle of Neihuang to Fanyang east of Huangze, stationed the base camp in Dunqiu City, which was only 50 miles away from Puyang, and immediately sent a large number of sentinels to cross the river to reconnoiter outside Puyang City.

After a short time, the horses from all walks of life reported that two forces had been dispatched in Puyang City, one cavalry unit was close to the south bank of the Yellow River and patrolled the section between Baimajin and Yanjin Ferry, and the other infantry entered Baima City and was seizing the time to build fortifications.

After hearing this, Lü Bu realized that Xiahoudun, who was defending Puyang, was not easy to deal with, especially the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry that suddenly appeared along the Yellow River, which would be a mortal threat to the troops responsible for escorting the artillery of the Shenwu general. If the transport force was half-crossed by this cavalry while crossing the upper reaches of the Yellow River, not only would 20 artillery pieces sink to the bottom of the Yellow River, but 5,000 infantry would also suffer heavy casualties.

After pondering with Tian Feng, Lu Bu urgently sent a team of messengers for help, rode fast horses along the north bank of the Yellow River from Chaoge City into Hanoi County, which had been completely controlled by the Northern Route Army, crossed the river at the Mengjin Ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River and went to Luoyang, borrowed 10,000 troops from the Blue Wolf Army now stationed in Luoyang, reinforced the frontal battlefield in Puyang, and completely annihilated the 5,000 tigers and leopards led by Xiahou Shang.

It is said that with the assault ability of the Blue Wolf Army, there are 5,000 cavalry enough to sweep away the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army, why did Lu Bu borrow 10,000 cavalry from Luoyang at once? The main reason is that he has not commanded the Flying Tiger Army for a long time, and he really misses the glorious days when he led the cavalry to gallop across the country in the past, so he wants to take advantage of this attack on Puyang to find out what it felt like back then.

Han Xinbing, the more the merrier. Fei general Lu Bu borrowed 10,000 cavalry to attack Xiahoudun, and he was sure to intercept the Cao army in Puyang City and continue to escape in the direction of Chen Liu.

Without waiting for the envoy sent by Lu Bu to arrive in Luoyang, Wei Zhen, the deputy general who followed Lu Qian to defend White Horse City, quietly sent henchmen who infiltrated Luoyang City, and saw Li Jinsi, who is now in charge of intelligence and "**" work, and said Wei Zhen's hope to be an internal response and help the Eastern Route Army successfully capture White Horse.

Because the matter involved the specific actions of the Eastern Route Army, and if the large number of Cao Army's logistics materials stored in White Horse City were only burned, it would obviously violate Zhao Xing's principle of disliking Lang Fei, so Li Jinsi quickly reported the matter to Zhao Xing. Just when Zhao Xing was considering whether to expose Wei Zhen, an important chess piece, now, the messenger sent by Lu Bu to borrow troops also arrived in Luoyang.

According to the regulations of the Jin Military Department, once the number of troops in the cross-theater exceeds 10,000, it must be approved by the Crouching Tiger Command before it can be implemented. Now that Lu Bu has seconded 10,000 cavalry to the Blue Wolf Army, he naturally needs to go through Zhao Xing's own instructions.

Zhao Xing analyzed the two things together, and then said to Li Jinsi: "Although the Battle of Puyang is about the overall action of the Eastern Route Army, it is not enough to use Wei Zhen as a chess piece. Tell the henchmen sent by Wei Zhen to let him do nothing in White Horse City, try not to reveal his identity, and when Chen Liu falls, he must find a way to infiltrate Luoyang, and there are still very important things that he needs to complete in the future. ”

Li Jinsi got an accurate reply, so he immediately went to see Wei Zhen's henchmen and conveyed Zhao Xing's meaning accurately. At this moment, Zhao Xing asked people to call Zang Ba, the commander of the Blue Wolf Army, and Xu Da, the military advisor, who are now stationed in Luoyang, together, and then said to the two: "Now Luoyang City is defended by 50,000 infantry of the Northern Route Army and 30,000 cavalry of the Western Liang Army, which is enough to ensure the safety of the Luoyang area. As the elite cavalry of the same name as the Flying Tiger Army, it is a pity that the Blue Wolf Army stays in Luoyang City and basks in the sun all day long, so I called you over today because there is a new task to be handed over to you. ”

Zang Ba and Xu Da, the two newly appointed first and second in command, although they have been in command of the Blue Wolf Army for more than a year, since the Blue Wolf Army was transferred back to the Northwest from the Northeast Region, it has become an ornament for the Northwest Army to scare Huang Fu Song in the Gaoping area, not only can not get the task of attacking Yizhou, but also play the role of a logistics transport team and an escort team, which can make the 30,000 brothers up and down the Blue Wolf Army depressed.

Now, Zang Ba and Xu Da listened to Zhao Xing's tone, and handed over the task to the Blue Wolf Army, and immediately patted their chests and said: "Although the lord commands, don't say that it is a task, that is, ten or twenty tasks, we will guarantee to complete it resolutely and thoroughly with the fastest speed and the highest standards!"

Zhao Xing then personally signed the order on dispatching the Northwest Legion Blue Wolf Army to the Yanzhou area to support the Jizhou Corps of the East Route Corps, and then sent the excited Zang Ba and Xu Da out of the courtyard.

Since Xiahou Shang dared to take 5,000 cavalry to inspect the south bank of the Yellow River, Zhao Xing ordered the Blue Wolf Army to pounce directly along the south bank of the Yellow River in the direction of Yanjin, and directly ate Xiahou Shang's 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry with lightning speed, and then stationed the troops in the middle of the road leading from Baima to Puyang, forcing Xiahou Dun to send troops to rescue Baima again.

Lu Bu, who had already sent troops to launch two tentative attacks on Puyang City, really encountered fierce counterattack from the defenders in the city, and in the absence of strong fire support, the Jizhou Corps did not take advantage of it at all this time.

Just when Lu Bu was a little irritable, he suddenly received an urgent secret order from the Crouching Tiger Command, and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's still the lord who is wise, now I have 30,000 blue wolf troops, and see how Xiahoudun can escape this time!"

Lü Bu was worried that the 5,000 cavalry of Xiahou Shang who had gone out of the front urgently withdrew to Puyang after discovering the traces of the Blue Wolf Army, so he left Puyang alone, and directly ordered Pang De to lead 20,000 infantry from Dunqiu to Liyang, and join up with the 5,000 troops who were ambushed there and were preparing to attack Baima City, and then forcibly cross the Yellow River to cut off Xiahou Shang's retreat to Puyang to the east.

Soon after Pang De was ordered to leave the city, Lü Bu suddenly ordered the 30,000 troops of the Montenegrin Army to urgently leave the city and rush to the east without warning. It is necessary to know that fifty miles south of Dunqiu City is Puyang City, and Lu Bu asked the Black Mountain Army to advance to the east, wouldn't it run farther and farther, how could this battle be fought?

It turned out that Lu Bu was ordered by Tian Feng to deliberately put up such a dragon gate array, hoping that Xiahoudun stationed in Puyang City would lead the army out of the city to rescue Xiahoushang, and then the Montenegrin army took the opportunity to copy Xiahoudun's back road.

Of course, judging from Xiahoudun's coping strategy during this period of time, he is not easily fooled, and it is very likely that he will continue to sit firmly in Diaoyutai. But it doesn't matter, if Xiahoudun doesn't send troops out of the city, it can just allow the Montenegrin army to go around to the lower reaches of the Yellow River and cross the river smoothly, anyway, now the time is on the side of the Jizhou Corps.

Lu Bu and Tian Feng targeted Cao Jun in Puyang City, in fact, they blatantly played a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, that is, to make their intentions clear and tell Xiahoudun, to see whether you save or not. If you don't save it, then watch the whole army of tigers and leopards be wiped out;
