Although Xu Chu was quickly defeated by Wang Yue, Cao Cao ignored Wang Yue, walked a few steps forward, personally bowed down to the gate of Deyang Palace, and shouted: "Minister Cao Cao, meet Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live forever!"

There was silence in the hall, and no one answered.

Cao Cao bent down and waited for a full stick of incense, the Deyang Hall was still silent, and finally slowly straightened up, and said lightly towards the door of the hall: "Your Majesty, now Haobai is plotting to rebel and rebel, intending to attack Xudu, the minister should swear to protect His Majesty, protect the Han, and please cherish Your Majesty!"

After speaking, he turned over and got on his horse without looking back, and led the crowd away.

After Cao Cao and the others were away for a long time, Liu Xie's figure appeared at the door of the dormitory, and he looked at the direction of Cao Cao's departure and was silent for a long time.

After a long time, Liu Xie turned around, looked at Dong Cheng behind him, and asked, "Cao Cao is now united with Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian, and the odds are great." ”

Dong Cheng sighed slightly: "According to the minister, if there is only Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao will undoubtedly lose, but judging from the current situation, the odds of winning are five or five, after all, Na Haobai has never had a defeat." ”

Liu Xie's brows furrowed: "Five-five!"

......

Outside the west gate of Yecheng, there is a three-layer main general platform, the stage is full of five-color flags, and a red flag is erected in the middle, with the words Hao, and the flag on the platform is hunting and fluttering in the wind, which makes people proud.

The 200,000 troops in the audience stood solemnly, like a vast ocean, with no edge in sight.

Hao Bai stood in front of the stage, behind him, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals, all dressed in draped bodies, with cold expressions, not angry and arrogant, and those soldiers were all in good spirits.

Haobai pulled out his long sword, and pointed south: "Go!" The national government will take you to level the Central Plains, kill the Cao thief, restore the Han Dynasty, and make immortal achievements!"

Hao Bai led an army of 200,000 from Yecheng to the south, opening the prelude to the war with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who got the news, hurriedly arranged a defense line along the Yellow River, and almost the entire cities and ferries along the Yellow River were arranged with defenders, and the defense line was thousands of miles long, all of which were important places to defend the town.

And Cao Cao himself personally led Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and other generals to guard the official crossing, and responded to various places at any time.

Although Haobai rarely went to war, but since his debut, he has not tasted a defeat, so how to be cautious and cautious Cao Cao, this time Cao Cao almost poured out of the nest, dispatched 300,000 troops, and left 100,000 troops in the land of Guandu alone, leaving only 30,000 people to stick to Xudu.

At the same time, Cao Cao also asked for help from the surrounding princes, who, although they did not send troops, were stationed on the border to contain Haobai's forces, and would also send troops if necessary.

Such tactics can be said to be the cleverness of Cao Cao, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu, and it also shows Cao Cao's weakness in his heart.

Haobai is only 200,000 troops, and Cao Cao has more than 300,000 troops, obviously outnumbered, but Cao Cao adopts defensive tactics, which can be said to be leisurely and waiting, which seems to be a steady advantage, but the two armies pay attention to morale, and Cao Cao obviously fell behind in morale.

In the big tent of the Haobai army, Haobai, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and other major generals were surrounding a sand table, talking endlessly.

Because this operation was on the Yellow River, Gan Ning trained 20,000 sailors here to blockade the surface of the Yellow River south of Jizhou.

Cao Cao can deploy defenses for thousands of miles and occupy military points everywhere, but Haobai, who has few soldiers and few generals, cannot fully blossom, so he can only concentrate his forces and attack one place.

Of course, the most important guarantee of this tactic is to build on the blockade of the section of the Yellow River south of Jizhou by the vast white naval warships, otherwise it is likely that Cao Cao will take advantage of the situation and cross the river north.

Haobai asked, "Who can be the vanguard and capture some cities first!"

Before the words fell, Yan Liang stood up and said in a loud voice: "The last general is willing to be a pioneer!"

Yan Liang just asked for battle, and the other generals were not far behind, and they all went forward to ask for battle, and finally Hao Bai considered it again and again, and still chose Zhao Yun, mainly because Yan Liang died in the battle of Guandu in history, so as not to have any accidents at that time.

......

Baima County, Baimajin Ferry, the water village is lined up, 3,000 defenders hold on to the water village with strong bows and crossbows, and the front is covered with wooden stakes in the shallow water to block the ships of the vast white water army from approaching.

The river wind hunts, the waves roll, there are very few boats on the river, but the defenders in the water village are still like a big enemy, a big crossbow, a branch of sharp arrows, aimed at the river surface, ready to attack.

General Liu Yan, wearing chain armor and carrying a long knife, personally guarded the water village, at this moment he was standing on the highest watchtower in the water village, looking nervously at the river surface.

"It's coming!" the guard next to him shouted in a low voice.

Liu Yan looked up, only to see that on the white river, suddenly a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun surged up at the place where the water and the sky met in the east, and the dark cloud was surging bigger and bigger, and when you looked closely, you could see that a large number of ships were surging.

The vast white fleet!

Liu Yan was shocked and shouted urgently: "Blow the trumpet, prepare to attack!"

Woo woo woo~

The sound of a huge horn continued to rise, rippling on the river, alarming the surrounding waterfowl, which scattered in all directions, either diving into the bottom of the water or soaring into the sky.

The fleet is getting closer and closer, and gradually you can see the situation on the battleship, only to see the soldiers, all in strict armor, and the rows of soldiers in front of them are holding long knives in one hand and large shields in the other, and the fighting spirit is monstrous.

As soon as he saw this formation, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, the side of this fighting ship was like a city wall, blocking the body of the armor soldiers in the ship in the side of the ship, plus there was a big iron shield in the front row, no matter how powerful the crossbow was, the damage to the soldiers on the battleship was also minimal.

Hulala~

The sails hanging high on the fighting ship, swaying fiercely in the wind, urging the battleship to gallop like flying, and the waves of the water further pushed the hull forward by the wind, but in the blink of an eye, the white sail shadow was close to within a hundred steps of Bai Majin.

"Shoot the arrows!" Liu Yan shouted as he drew his sword.

Woo Woo Woo ~ Inside the water village, crossbow arrows continued to shoot out, emitting a strong wind-breaking sound, like a meteor shower, drawing arcs in the air and shooting towards the surging warships.

Tuk tuk tuk ~

The rain of arrows that came from the slope was either shot on the big iron shield or on the thick ship, making a fierce collision sound, although it was extremely powerful, the soldiers in the battleship were not in danger.

Seeing this, Liu Yan shouted excitedly: "Withdraw, retreat, retreat to White Horse City!"

After speaking, he took the lead in running down the watchtower, and under the escort of the guards, he jumped on his war horse and headed towards the White Horse City in the south.

As soon as those Cao soldiers heard that the main general ordered them to retreat, they fled from the water village with crossbow arrows one after another, followed Liu Yan, and fled in a swarm.

Knock knock~

On the fighting ship, the drums of war rose excitedly, and countless soldiers raised their knives to break away the wooden pillars in front of them, rushed to the ferry along the boat ladder, and went to the shore to kill.

At this time, Liu Yan had already led thousands of defenders to flee two or three miles away, and fled towards White Horse City as if he were desperate.

Zhao Yun was not in a hurry to lead the army to catch up, but reorganized the queue by the river beach, and for a time the army was crowded with Baimajin Ferry and the river banks on both sides, with long knives like forests and armor like snow.
