Then, Cao Cao moved his gaze to Guo Jia's body and said in a harmonious voice: "Fengxiao will stay in Gaotang and coordinate the army!"

Guo Jia nodded. Guo Jia's complexion is not very good, and he coughs from time to time, and it seems that the old illness has recurred. Cao Cao was very worried about this situation.

After giving the order, Cao Cao let the account disperse. The generals and strategists left one after another, and only Guo Jia remained.

"Alas!" Cao Cao suddenly sighed.

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Why is the lord worried?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "The Northern Army is now like a behemoth, I feel a little powerless!"

Guo Jia frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, and then stared straight at Cao Cao, "Has the lord lost confidence?"

Cao Cao showed a blank look and muttered, "Confidence? Can faith turn things around?

Guo Jia replied: "Of course, faith cannot make the Northern Army weak, but it can make us strong. Faith does not guarantee victory over the enemy, but without faith we will surely lose!

Cao Cao was shocked.

Guo Jia turned his head to look at the night outside the window and continued: "Life in the world is only a few decades of cold and summer, if you can't be vigorous as a man, won't you live up to this life?" He turned his head to look at Cao Cao suddenly, his eyes blazing, "What if you hate in the end?" At least we've been the best in the world!

Cao Cao clapped his hands suddenly, "Well said!" Then

he walked out of the lobby quickly, looking up to the sky and roaring, the howling sound pierced through the nine heavens, and the boundless heroic qi filled it. The soldiers of the Cao army were all alarmed by this roar, and they couldn't help but boil their blood and be in awe.

Finally, he laughed a few times, returned to Guo Jia, and said proudly: "Let's have a vigorous fight with Chen Chu!" Even if you lose, you won't live up to this life! Guo Jia knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "I should swear to follow the lord to the death!" Then

the two looked at each other and laughed.

The next day, 300,000 Cao troops moved and pounced on Bohai, Jizhou City and Guangping in three directions. At the same time, the princes of the former Qingzhou who lived in Youzhou raised an army of 100,000, led by Kong Rong and Tai Shici as the vanguard, and went south into Jizhou. The two armies of the north and south are advancing, and there is no suspense that Yuan Shao will lose Jizhou.

Yuan Shang only left tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people in Jizhou, and it was impossible for such a force to withstand the enemy's long-planned attack. In just half a month, the entire territory of Jizhou was lost.

On June 12, the 100,000 army led by Xiahou Dun Xiahou Yuan launched a fierce battle in Boling County, 60 miles north of Jizhou City, and the two armies fought for five days.

However, when the coalition forces retreated to Hejian, they found that Hejian had been captured by Cao's army. The coalition army was immediately in turmoil, because the loss of Hejian meant that the passage for the coalition army to escape back to Youzhou was stuck by Cao's army.

The so-called 'roof leakage and overnight rain, the ship broke and encountered the head wind'. Just when the coalition army was at a loss for what to do because of the occupation of Hejian, Xiahou Yuan led another 100,000 troops to chase after him.

Fortunately, the general Tai Shici desperately repelled the Cao army, and the coalition army was temporarily stationed on a high post more than ten miles south of the river. This hill has no name, and is flanked by a steep slope of about 30 degrees to the east, and cliffs on the other sides. The east and south sides of Gaogang are plain areas of the Ichima Pingchuan River, and the west and north sides are rolling hills. The terrain here is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it seems that the coalition forces in the siege of Cao's army can only be trapped here.

The atmosphere in the temporary tent was dull and depressing, and the princes who had been high-spirited in the past frowned one by one.

"Why don't you surrender Cao Cao?" Yuan Taishan Taishou Yingxun said. Immediately, someone chimed in.

Kong Rong frowned, unable to make up his mind, and looked at Tai Shi Ci on the side, but Tai Shi Ci closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, as if what everyone said had nothing to do with him.

Kong Rong couldn't help but feel unhappy in his heart, but thinking that he was completely dependent on Tai Shici now, he didn't have a seizure. Turning his head to look at Tian Kai opposite Tai Shici, he asked, "Thorn Shi, what do you think?" "This Tian Kai was originally the history of Qingzhou Thorn, so Kong Rong asked him to be the history of Thorn, it is said that Kong Rong's official rank is one level lower than Tian Kai, it stands to reason that the coalition army should be headed by Tian Kai, but because Kong Rong is the strongest, and there is a fierce general like Tai Shici to assist, so everyone elected him as the commander of the coalition army.

Tian Kai hesitated for a moment and replied, "I, I agree with Ying Taishou's proposal!"

Seeing that the number two person in the coalition army also said this, most of them immediately nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, if you don't ask General Cao to surrender at this moment, when will you wait?"

Glancing at everyone, Kong Rong sighed helplessly and said, "In that case, then let's surrender!"

At this moment, Kong Rong suddenly heard a sneer, which was made by Tai Shici.

"Ziyi, what do you think?" Kong Rong hurriedly asked, and at the same time, a trace of hope rose in his heart. Everyone's eyes immediately converged on Tai Shici's body. In fact, where are these princes who are used to being the emperor of the soil willing to be a pawn under the command of others.

Tai Shi Ci glanced at Kong Rong and sneered: "Tai Shou and all the adults have already decided to surrender to Cao Cao, do you still need me to talk more?"

"Ziyi, don't say such things! Didn't we just decide to surrender Cao Cao as a last resort? Kong Rong said complainingly, and the princes immediately agreed.

Tai Shici's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's not completely impossible to turn the tables at present!" Jizhou and Youzhou are interdependent, if Jizhou falls into the hands of Cao Cao, his next target will be Youzhou! Although Liu Yu is a little cowardly by nature, he must understand the stakes! Therefore, if we send someone back to Youzhou to benefit Liu Yuxiao, we will definitely be able to persuade him to send a large army south, and then we will have a chance to break through the siege of Cao's army and return to Youzhou! Then wait for the opportunity, or go east to Qingzhou, or south to Jizhou! The

princes' eyes lit up. Kong Rong even high-fived.

"But who should be sent back to Youzhou? This aside, the most difficult thing is how to break through the blockade of the Cao army under the mountain? Tian Kai suddenly asked. Everyone fell silent for a moment, and this is indeed an unavoidable and very difficult question.

Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "I am willing to lead my eight hundred elite cavalry to break through the blockade of the Cao army!" Then he glanced at the princes and continued: "As for who will go back to Youzhou to persuade Liu Yu, it's not a question for me to consider!" The

princes immediately discussed, and finally decided to return to Youzhou by Kong Rong. Because the friendship between Kong Rong and Liu Yu is very deep.

That night, Tai Shici led 800 elite cavalry to escort Kong Rong out of the camp quietly. However, because there were not many hidden objects on the mountain road, Tai Shici and his party were discovered before they went down the mountain. The sound of Cao Jun's horn then pierced the night sky.

Tai Shi Ci frowned, and shouted: "Li Yu, you lead half of the elite cavalry to escort Taishou to the north!" The rest of the people will follow me into the Cao camp! "Yes!" Eight hundred people shouted and promised, and in the face of more than 100,000 Cao troops, they were not afraid. At this moment, Kong Rong's legs and feet are already a little weak.

The cavalry split into two groups in the dark. A group of Li Yu led the protection of Kong Rong temporarily hidden in a forest at the foot of the mountain, they were waiting for an opportunity, once Cao Jun's attention was completely attracted to Tai Shici, they would immediately head north. The other group led by Tai Shici killed Cao Jun's camp with great fanfare. I have to admire Tai Shici's courage, and he dared to lead four hundred cavalry to attack the Cao army camp of more than 100,000!

The alarm bell sounded, the figure of the Cao camp was noisy, there were Cao army generals shouting in the organization of sergeants, crossbowmen quickly went up to the corridor of the Yuanmen, a Cao army general led a thousand Cao army light cavalry galloped out of the camp, under the guidance of the command flag on the sentry tower to the foot of the mountain. Cao Jun's response was swift.

Seeing the cavalry of the Cao army coming towards him, Tai Shici raised his spear, and the four hundred elite horsemen under his command roared violently, and then galloped faster, like a meteor in the dark night under the moonlight.

The Cao cavalry was a little nervous, because they didn't know how many of the enemy there were. The task of these thousand cavalry was to reconnoiter the enemy situation and disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's attack, in another sense, they were sent to their death.

The two cavalry marched at high speed in the moonlight, and in the blink of an eye, they collided head-on.

The hysterical killing and heart-rending screams suddenly rang out, and the continuous rain of blood exuded the breath of hell. Tai Shi Ci took the lead with a spear, and quickly entered the depth of Cao's army, and no one could stop him wherever he passed.

The vanguard of the Cao army will wave a big sword and run towards Tai Shi Ci, roaring in his mouth. Tai Shi Ci hurriedly shook his spear and stabbed several Cao army cavalry who were entangled in him off his horse, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the knife light flashing behind the side, and immediately flashed sideways to the side by feeling, and in this moment of lightning and flint, the blade of the Cao army vanguard ran against Tai Shi Ci's cheek.

Shocked, then anger surged, roared, Cao Jun vanguard will be taken aback, stunned, at this moment, Tai Shi Ci's spear in the right hand swirling around, straight towards Cao Jun vanguard general, Cao Jiang found out about this situation, but he was caught off guard but could not react accordingly, blood light burst out in the moonlight, Tai Shi Ci's spear pierced Cao Jiang's chest. Cao Jiang looked in disbelief at the spear that pierced his chest. Tai Shi Ci sneered, slammed it, and Cao Jiang flew up with a scream, and then fell heavily to the ground, never reacting at all.

Finding that his general was picked and killed by the other party, Cao Jun immediately panicked, but they did not flee in the wilderness, and were still fighting with each other. It can also be seen that Cao's army is much more elite than the army of ordinary princes, and if it is the army of ordinary princes, the generals are killed, and the army is afraid that it will collapse immediately.

However, the cavalry of the Cao army, which had lost its general, could not resist the elite cavalry led by Tai Shici after all, and retreated towards the camp.

Tai Shi Ci chased to the edge of the camp, and at this time, a rain of arrows came to him, which was the crossbowman on the verandah who released his arrows.

The elite cavalry under the command of Tai Shi Ci was immediately shot over dozens of people. Tai Shi Ci lay on his back on his horse and shouted, "Rush over!" Immediately, hundreds of horsemen rushed towards Cao's camp at a faster speed.

The crossbowmen only had time to unleash another wave of arrows.

Tai Shi Ci led the fine cavalry to rush to the gate. At this time, the gate was closed, and there were rows of sword and shield soldiers lined up behind the gate.

Tai Shi Ci roared, and actually accelerated towards the gate, seeing that he was about to crash straight into it, he suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse and spun around violently, almost at the same time raised his spear and slammed it on the gate. Then a shocking scene appeared, and the gate that should have been very strong suddenly collapsed. Tai Shi Ci used the impact of the war horse and his own courage to destroy Cao Yingyuanmen with one blow.
