Outside the city of Xuchang.

Cao Cao personally led an army of 150,000 troops from Xuchang to the west.

In less than half a day, the army had marched thirty miles away.

This kung fu army of 150,000 looks densely packed from a distance, like a long dragon.

The black Cao Zi flag is waving in the wind.

Xuchang is not very far from Wancheng, and even if the march is slow, it will only take a day or two.

The army marched westward, and Cao Cao's first goal was to pull out the nail of Wancheng.

This trip has the face of an army of 500,000, and Cao Cao can be said to be complacent, and he doesn't know how to lose at all.

He led an army of 150,000 intending to advance to Wancheng.

Xiahoudun listened to his order and led the remaining 350,000 troops to march from another road to Sili Chang'an and other places.

In this kung fu, Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed Cao Cao left and right.

Xun You, Cheng Yu and others were not far behind Cao Cao.

Because Jueying gave it to Xi Yu early, at this moment Cao Cao is riding another of his favorite horses, with yellow claws and lightning.

This horse is as powerful as it is orange and yellow, and it looks a little powerful from a distance.

Cao Cao sat on it, but he was not much shorter than Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

"Dian Wei, in this battle, you will follow me around, if there is a war, I will rely on you!"

Glancing at Dian Wei, Cao Cao relieved Dian Wei.

The latter smiled innocently and nodded.

Xu Chu didn't have any opinions.

Since he followed Cao Cao, he has made a lot of meritorious deeds.

Dian Wei is Mr. Xi's guard after all, and Cao Cao's guard is the only one in the end.

The army marches forward.

Cao Cao looked at the surrounding fields with some emotion.

It has been more than eight years since he first left Chen to scatter his family wealth and start the army.

From the Taishou of Dongjun, to the pastor of Yanzhou, and now to occupy the land of the two states, he welcomes the Son of Heaven such as Xuchang.

In the past eight years, Cao Cao only felt like a blink of an eye.

And now, sitting on the land of two states, it has the name of the Son of Heaven.

He already has the initial ability to change the general trend of the world.

In this battle, if you can take the land in the middle of the country and connect horizontally, it will be difficult for the next thing to be left with only the north and the south.

Cao Cao's heart swayed.

At this moment, the breeze is gentle, and it is cool.

It was a good weather for the march.

He didn't say anything to Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Xun You and Cheng Yu behind him were discussing something in a whisper, but Cao Cao didn't care.

Not long after, suddenly there was a report from the horse, saying that there was a horse coming from the direction of Xuchang behind.

Hearing the report, Cao Cao and Xun You and the others were a little puzzled.

This army has just been launched, why is there a horse in Xuchang.

Something happened.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao led the army to continue to march, and he himself took Dian Wei and other cadres to slowly follow behind the army.

The speed has slowed down.

After a while, Cao Cao looked backwards, and sure enough, within his line of sight, there was a black shadow in the distance that was faintly galloping towards this side.

As the dark shadow got closer and closer, Cao Cao quickly recognized it.

That's a shadow.

After all, it is one of his favorite mounts, and when he gave it to Xi Yu, he was still a little reluctant.

Seeing the appearance of the absolute shadow now, Cao Cao reacted in an instant.

If this kung fu can ride the shadow over, it must be a joke.

Sure enough, before approaching, Xi Yu's figure was already reflected in the pupils of Cao Cao and the others.

"Fengyi?"

At a distance of about ten zhang, Cao Cao shouted at Xi Yu.

Listen to the voice of the sermon, and play with a pause.

"Brother!"

After seeing that Cao Cao and the others were really waiting for him, Xi Yu was not the slightest surprised.

The army was marching out, and there were spies on all sides.

Cao Cao and the others knew that he was chasing after him from Xuchang, but it was normal.

Before Xi Yu could speak, Cao Cao in front of him had already turned over and dismounted.

"Fengyi, why are you here?"

After getting off the horse, Cao Cao asked with a smile, and then a smile couldn't help but appear on his face as if he had thought of something.

It's hard to say, is Xi Yu planning to go with him this time?

Does this guy finally understand that he is actually a peerless god general?

Cao Cao was a little happy, and the smile on his face was a little rich.

Cheng Yu, Xun You and the others didn't feel like this, they just thought that maybe Xi Yu forgot to say something important, so they caught up.

Dian Wei on the side was also a little puzzled.

But he didn't follow the words.

Xi Yu dismounted, then looked at the surrounding fields, walked in front of Cao Cao in two or three steps, and then took a deep breath.

"Brother, I suddenly remembered something, and I forgot to tell you!"

Xi Yu thought for a moment in his heart, paused and continued to speak.

"This time Wancheng, brother must not put himself in a trap, this time there are Ziyu and others following you, brother should be cautious and cautious!"

Belch!

Cao Cao was a little stunned.

He thought that Xi Yu was in a hurry to come over because he wanted to go with him.

I can think that the other party catches up, but I just want to tell myself to be careful.

What's there to be careful about here.

He Cao Cao has fought many battles for so many years.

What's more, with 150,000 troops on the side this time, isn't it easy to get down in a mere place of Wancheng?

In Cao Cao's view, Xi Yu's worries were completely unnecessary.

"Fengyi, this time you caught up like this, just to tell me about this?"

Cao Cao was a little unimpressed, and asked casually.

Xi Yu nodded instinctively, seeing that there was nothing else, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh a little in his heart.

Fengyi, this kid, is really too cautious!

Thinking like this, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and raised it upwards and slapped Xi Yu's chest.

"You kid, you're thinking too much!"

"Although he is superior in force, Cao naturally has some experience in this kind of war."

"In this battle, I will let Fengyi take a look, what is called the end of the day!"

Cao Cao was full of confidence, but Xi Yu was a little speechless.

Know that you are good at the art of war.

But, I'm worried not that you will fight, but that you can't control your legs.

This has nothing to do with the strategic aspect.

150,000 people, a Wancheng is nothing at all.

But any general who can lead the troops to fight, taking Wancheng is like a credit for nothing.

It's just that you, Lao Cao, are going to be in danger yourself!

Not to mention leading thousands of guards into the city, I have to sleep with my aunt in the middle of the night.

This kind of thing is simply death.

There was no way to say this directly, and Xi Yu felt a little helpless.

"Brother, since you are leading the troops to fight, you will do the thing of leading the troops to fight, I know that my brother is romantic, don't do superfluous things this time!"

That's all I can say.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, good guy, I'm romantic, and your kid is not much different from me.

The teenage girls have all moved into your house, and you can get there again!

"Okay, Fengyi, and peace of mind, if you don't believe it, my brother will make a bet with you today!"

"Just bet, I can easily win Wancheng in this battle!"

Cao Cao was full of confidence, and when Xi Yu heard this, he just shook his head.

"Let's hope my brother wins!"

At this time, the shadow of the army had faded away, and the two didn't say anything more.

Cao Cao got back on his horse, nodded at Xi Yu, and re-planned to catch up with the army.

Cheng Yu and the others just watched the play.

Xi Yu looked at Dian Wei, but didn't say anything more after all.

The advice has already been said.

It's too much, but it's a nuisance.

Seeing Cao Cao and the others go away again, Xi Yu turned around and rode the shadow and began to return to Xuchang.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Xi Yu returned to Xuchang City.

This effort, he did not return to the government office, and turned around and went back to the theater house by himself.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that Guo Jia didn't know when he came over.

Right now, the other party is sitting in the pavilion with Xi Zhicai, and there are Xun Yu and Huang Zhong on the side.

Four people, extremely weird, made up a table of mahjong.

Seeing the return of the play.

Huang Zhong immediately stood up from the table and stool.

Mr. finally came back, and playing mahjong with the three people in front of him was a great test for Huang Zhong.

Whether it is Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, or Xun Yu, these three people are not in the same way as him, he is just a general.

And the three people in front of them are the top smart people team in Dahan today.

Four people played mahjong, and he could understand the words spoken by these three people, but he couldn't understand a word from Liancheng.

Huang Zhong was just pulled to make up the numbers, and the three of them didn't win his money.

But it's really uncomfortable to play.

"Sir!"

Huang Zhong got up and shouted at Xi Yu, and wanted to leave as if he was running away.

Xi Yu nodded at the other party, and then looked at Guo Jia and the others.

These three people can pull Huang Zhong to play mahjong right now, but they are really boring.

Seeing that the three of them didn't get up, Xi Yu walked over and sat in Huang Zhong's original position.

This kung fu, Guo Jia raised his eyes and looked at Xi Yu.

"It's back!"

Xi Yu didn't answer, and Xun Yu on the side also shook his head.

"Fengyi, although we are Ming Gong's strategists, Ming Gong's own art of war and strategy are not inferior to ours!"

"In this battle, I can't think of anything wrong, I think you're too cautious!"

Xi Yu didn't respond, just followed the code cards on the table.

"It's the first time I've seen Xi Yu so cautious, it's no wonder!"

Guo Jia chuckled at the corner of his mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that Xi Yu had already married two wives, he would have felt that Xi Yu was in love with Cao Cao!

"Self-touching, all the same!"

Xi Yu pushed the mahjong in front of him easily, and the three people in front of him were obviously stunned.

They are all smart people, although they are talking on their lips, but they know how to count cards.

I never thought that Xi Yu's luck would be so good.

"It's boring, it's no fun to play cards with you!"

Xi Yu pursed his lips, and then looked at Xun Yu: "Brother Wen Ruo, when did you learn from these two people to be so idle?" ”

"And you Guo Fengxiao, look at you like that, your face is white, the girl in the brothel is not as white as you!"

"If you continue like this, you will die sooner or later!"

"The surname is drama, you can't get any better, Guo Fengxiao, this guy pulls you, you go, he doesn't want to die, you don't want to die!"

"Catch Ming'er, I'll bury you two in a grave, and then put wine ...... in front of your grave."

Xi Yu opened his mouth and output to the three of them.

This kung fu, the three of them are a little numb!

"Uninteresting, uninteresting!"

Guo Jia got up, probably a little unbearable, turned around and walked out, and Xun Yu also walked out.

Xi Zhicai was stunned in place, neither walking nor sitting.

Xi Yu didn't bother to pay attention to the three of them, and after getting up, he walked directly to the side room where Huang Zhong was.

After thinking about it, he still felt a little unstable!

If you count the days, there will be a day or two before Cao Cao's arrival in Wancheng, that is, Zhang Xiu will raise the city and surrender, and the two sides will still have to negotiate during this period.

Things are not in a hurry, but the preparations that should be made must still be done.

Now that the baggage battalion is following the army, Huang Zhong did not follow.

Xi Yu plans to take Huang Zhong to Wancheng for a spin in two days, once something really important happens, it will be close to it, and it will be easy to prepare.

Come and think about it.

It's nothing more than a few days!

After seeing Huang Zhong, Xi Yu followed to check Huang Xu's current situation.

Nowadays, Dahan's newspapers and periodicals have published the news of looking for famous doctors, and even Zhang Zhongjing.

I don't know if the other party hasn't seen the newspaper again.

I can't say whether I will come to Xuchang!

But in the newspaper, Xi Yu told that every issue had news of looking for Zhang Zhongjing.

Xi Yu thought that once the other party saw it, he would still come after all.

After all, whoever finds himself looking for someone in the newspaper every day is somewhat curious.

Huang Xu's situation is now stable.

As long as there are no accidents, it is not a big problem to last for a few years.

"Lao Huang, pack up and prepare in the next two days, and follow me to Wancheng!"

said a word to Huang Zhong, who didn't have the slightest opinion, nodded and agreed.

……

Xi Yu wanted to go to Wancheng in two days to have a look, but Cao Cao didn't take the other party's words to heart.

It's night.

Cao Cao led the army to a halt near a diversion in the water.

"I didn't expect Fengyi to be more and more cautious recently!"

Cao Cao sat in the big tent, thinking that Xi Yu rode over on horseback today just to tell himself to be careful.

This thing really made him a little unsure of what to say!

obviously has peerless force, and his wisdom and strategy are extremely outstanding, but Xi Yu has never been arrogant.

It stands to reason that if he were the other party, he would not be crazy to the sky.

Na Lu Bu was strong in force, and when he was outside the Tiger Prison Pass, there were no princes in the world in his eyes.

However, the drama is righteous, but it is completely different.

This time, this guy was even more cautious, which made Cao Cao feel a little excessive.

"Fengyi is also worried about Ming Gong!"

Cheng Yu smiled on the side.

Xun You didn't say much, he had simulated this battle in his heart no less than dozens of times before.

It can only be said that there is basically no possibility of losing!

The time, the location, the people, the Cao army occupied.

And how could you possibly lose?

At this moment, in Cao Cao's big tent, the atmosphere can be described as relaxed.

Meanwhile.

On the other side, above Wancheng, it seems to be full of gloomy clouds.

After Cao Cao threatened to lead an army of 500,000 to the expedition, Zhang Xiu couldn't sit still, and he couldn't sleep well.

On top of the Han newspapers and periodicals, he was directly branded as a traitor.

said that Cao Cao's battle was based on the edict of the Son of Heaven to crusade against the ministers!

Although he doesn't have much awe for the court, but now the princes of the world, who puts the Son of Heaven in his eyes?

You Cao Cao didn't look for anyone else, but he led an army of 150,000 directly to me.

Zhang Xiu felt a little bitter in her heart!

He didn't know what to do.

He followed his uncle to lead troops from Guanzhong to the border of Jingzhou before, and failed to attack the city, and Zhang Ji died of his arrow, and since then he has taken over Zhang Ji's troops.

Subsequently, in desperation, he could only make peace with Liu Biao, and stationed troops in Wancheng, which was temporarily attached to Liu Biao.

This time, he stayed here, and he didn't think about attacking other places.

He didn't even think about attacking Cao Cao.

Although Xuchang is not far away.

But today's Cao Cao, who is sitting on the land of two states, is not something that ordinary people can provoke.

He didn't have a sick brain, so he chose to attack Xuchang.

Unless he was cornered, he definitely didn't want to go against Cao Cao.

However, he didn't expect that he didn't provoke others, but someone still targeted him.

Is it just because of the geography of Wancheng?

Now Cao Cao's army has been launched!

Wancheng Tanma replied that the other party's army was only less than a day's journey away from Wancheng.

If you dare to do so on the third day, you will inevitably come to the city.

150,000 troops, how can Wancheng resist!

Zhang Xiu was a little scratchy, he knew in his heart that the best choice now was to serve the other party.

However, self-reliance and serving others are two different concepts after all.

Attached to Liu Biao, he still has the right to stand on his own.

However, if he serves Cao Cao, he will be involuntary after that.

Now that it coincides with the troubled times in the world, Zhang Xiu also has some ambition in his heart.

I heard that Sun Ce on the Jiangdong side has already had a bit of momentum now.

He Zhang Xiu thought that he was not inferior to that Sun Ce.

Now he hasn't made a name for himself, but he has to face such a crowd of creations!

I can't figure it out, Zhang Xiu can only find someone who can help him give advice, and in this Wancheng.

There is such a person, Zhang Xiu knows, and knows that the other party's strategy is not much worse than the rumored drama Fengyi in the world.

This person is Jia Xu, who has been following the Xiliang Army, and since then there have been admonitions that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others will attack Chang'an, and one person has made the situation in the world treacherous.

This time, Zhang Xiutun soldiers Wancheng and Liu Biao were allies with each other, and it was Jia Xu who admonished him.

It's night.

Zhang Xiu met Jia Xu face-to-face.

At this moment, Jia Xu seemed to have guessed that Zhang Xiu would come over early, without the slightest surprise.

"I've seen the general!"

Jia Xu smiled and saluted!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiu was a little helpless.

"Mr. Wenhe, what should I do now?"

Jia Xu had a smile on his face, but Zhang Xiu couldn't laugh at all.

The 150,000 army is not far away, and he has sent several reports to Liu Biao in a row, and until now, he has not waited for a reply from the other party.

Although he and Liu Biao are allies, he is the weaker side after all.

Jia Xu looked up at Zhang Xiu.

"General, this time Cao's army is powerful, with a warning, it cannot be compared with the enemy, this time the city is surrendered, it is not a bad choice!"

Surrender of the city?

This?

Zhang Xiu also knew it in his heart, but Jia Xu said it more directly.

He also knows that in the current situation, he no longer has many options.
