Peace.

Cao * stood on the city wall, stretched out his hand to caress the uneven battlements made up by the marks of the knife and axe, his fingers rubbed slightly, and a few dried blood stains turned into dust and floated in the air. Gou Yu and Cao Ren stood beside him, following in unison.

"Pingyu, I finally won it.

Cao * sighed.

On the morning of this day, Cao Ren, the vanguard of the Cao army, went out of Nanton, made a great noise, and confused Ji Ling outside the city, making him think that the Cao army had fallen out of the nest, so he led the army to pursue, but Cao * led the remaining soldiers and horses to do an ambush, and when Cao Ren introduced Ji Ling's army into the ambush circle, he defeated it in one fell swoop!

Ji Ling was defeated, panicked, led the remnants to break out of the encirclement, and fled every day.

Then Cao's army took advantage of the great victory and attacked Pingyu.

In Pingyu City, there are 30,000 Yuan Shu soldiers and horses to guard, and the army under Cao * has passed the battle of Ji Ling, and there are no more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. The fierceness and blood in it are really not enough for outsiders.

As a matter of fact, as long as Cao * slows down the intensity of his offensive a little, makes more preparations, or uses tactics or strategies, he will definitely not lose one-third of his combat strength in just half a day!

Just because the situation is like this, he must win the peace with the fastest speed and the shortest time.

Otherwise, when Yuan Shu came to his senses, it would be difficult to send troops and horses.

Because the first * could not be sure at all, whether his ally Liu Biao would abandon the war and withdraw his troops and horses because the grain and grass were burned and the troops were lost. Moreover, the princes have always competed for hegemony, and the so-called covenant is like eating and drinking, saying that it will be concluded, and if it is torn up, it will be torn up, without any reason, so Cao * not only cannot expect Liu Biao, but also guard against him.

"The battle is already half won. Gou

Yu rubbed his eyebrows, his face full of exhaustion. He is the only strategist in the army, and all aspects of the ministry depend on him, and he also has to take care of Yanzhou's government affairs remotely, which really makes him a little powerless. In the past few days, Gou Yu has been thinking that when this battle is over, it will take some time, and in any case, he will have to pull a few relatives and friends into Cao*'s chariot to share some pressure for him.

"My lord, I have walked more than half of the road, and now that victory is in hand, I must be more cautious.

Cao * patted Xun You's shoulder, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and said, "What do you suggest

?" Xun You said: "Now the lord is facing two problems.

"One, Yuan Shao. Although General Cao Chun blocked Yuan Shao's army to the death in Chenliu. However, General Cao Chun's troops were insufficient, and in case Yuan Shao increased his troops, Chen Liu's situation would be in jeopardy. "

Second, Liu Biao. Because of the defeat of the Jingzhou army before, it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Biao will not change his mind. If it is said that it is robbed while it is hot, it will not be, but I am afraid that it will add fuel to the fire, but I have to prevent it. "

Chenliu is the west gate of Yanzhou. If Chen stays behind, Yanzhou will not be protected!

And Liu Biao can't bite a piece of meat in Yuzhou because of all the fanfare, lest he be annoyed and angry and do something beneficial to Yuan Shujun. "Although the lord has made a lot of preparations before, but the so-called place of life and death, the way of survival, must be examined in detail!" Cao

* nodded slightly, and asked, "What about Liu Zihong? Yuan Shu?"

Gou You smiled and shook his head: "Before, my subordinates were always worried that King Yuyang would attack Yanzhou with a big victory. But then he thought about it, he wouldn't, and he wouldn't dare. "

What do you say?" Cao * became interested: "What Liu Zihong doesn't dare to do, I'm afraid there is no one in the world, right?"

Xun You shook his head and said: "Counting Youzhou for more than a year, it has been fighting again and again. Besides, the places of Jizhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and other states are all things that have just been included in the bag of the Yuyang King, and they are all in ruins, and the Yuyang King has always done things safely, and he will definitely not continue to wage large-scale wars under the condition of internal instability. Besides, if the King of Yuyang continues to attack Yanzhou at this time, it will inevitably give people a feeling of going south, determining the country, and winning the battle. How could the princes of the Central Plains be indifferent? At that time, I am afraid that no matter how big the grievances are, they will have to be temporarily suppressed and form an alliance again to resist the Yuyang King

!" "This is reasonable!" Cao

* and Cao Renju beside him both nodded their heads again and again.

"As for Yuan Shu," Gou Yu chuckled and shook his head: "Although the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command are still a huge threat on the 1st, his backyard is about to catch fire!"

Cao * heard this, and said: "I know what Gongda means, Liu Jingsheng."

Xun You smiled and said, "Liu Jingsheng is just one of them." I expect that he will not let the lord have a good time, and he will definitely add fuel to the trouble behind his back, and even provide convenience to Yuan Shujun, and he himself will definitely withdraw and shift the target! Second, "Is the military advisor saying that Liu Biao will suddenly retreat, abandon Runan and attack Lujiang, and even the counties of Yuan Shubu in Jiangnan and Jiangdong?" Cao Ren interjected, but the more he said, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and said: "In this way, although our army has captured Pingyu, not only is it not a victory, but it will also face attacks from all sides?!"

Xun You and Cao both nodded slightly.

If Liu Biao suddenly withdraws, then Yuan Shu's army will definitely exert all his strength to recapture Pingyu, a city that Yuan Shu regarded as the capital! When the time comes, there will be 60,000 or 70,000 troops of Zhang Xun, Chen Lan, and Le on the west road; 450,000 troops of Chen Ji, Lei Shu, and Yang Feng on the south road, as well as the remnants of Ji Ling, who were defeated and fled, and Han Hao's army, which escorted Princess Yuyang back to the north!

The entire four-way army, more than 100,000 or 200,000 horses, will encircle Pingyu. It is conceivable what will happen to the more than 20,000 people in Cao *'s hands at that time!

"Big brother, how about you go back to Yanzhou first?

Cao Ren can die, but Cao * can't die! This is the only thought in Cao Ren's heart.

"Zixiao, why don't you propose to withdraw the troops immediately for your brother?"

The smile on Cao*'s face was quite meaningful.

Calamus shook his head and said nothing.

Cao * has always been a domineering person. Cao Ren knew Cao Ren very well, so although he had the intention of withdrawing his troops, he could not say it or say it.

"Zixiao thinks that this battle will be lost?" Cao * raised his head and laughed: "In Cao's heart, this battle will be won!"

The blood-red remnant sun shone on Cao *'s body, and the blood-stained city head reflected his not tall body, but at this time, there was a sky-high pride, which made people feel broken.

"The general doesn't have to worry, all of this is in the calculation of the lord!" Xun You looked at Cao *, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and said to Cao Ren: "At this time, presumably Han Hao's army of 50,000 is dead, right?!"

Cao Hong received Cao *'s order, and rushed back to Chen County overnight that day, making all preparations, and the next night, a group of men and horses attacked Chen County at night to burn the grain and grass that Cao Jun had hoarded in Chen County.

Cao Hong took the plan and let the group go to the granary, but they were burned to death by the firewood that was completely poured with oil in the granary.

The next day, Cao * issued another secret order, one said that Han Hao's army escorted Princess Yuyang back to the north, and asked him to strictly monitor it, but the other was to let Cao Hong gather troops and horses, abandon Chen County, and even give up grain and grass, and quietly return to Chenliu, and after Han Hao's army separated from Princess Yuyang, he immediately defeated Han Hao's army with Cao Chun's army guarding Chenliu... Cao Hong did not dare to disobey Cao *'s order, but he was reluctant to sell the grain and grass in Chen County, so he had to dig a pit and sell all the grain and grass, and then left more than 100 people in Chen County, making a big show to confuse the possible enemy, and he led more than 10,000 military horses to guard the grain and grass and quietly rushed back to Chen Liu at night.

After defeating Zhang Jaw last time, Chen Liucao Hong has been confronting Zhang Jaw until now. During this period, there were many battles, but it was difficult to have the previous big victory. After all, there are a lot of soldiers with Zhang Jaw, and there is Bishui Guan as the backing, plus Cao Chunjun's hole cards, and he is well prepared, which makes it really difficult for Cao Chun to start.

In the early morning of this day, Cao Chun was suddenly woken up by the soldiers, but said that Cao Hong had arrived.

Cao Chun was surprised, and hurriedly got up to see Cao Hong.

When the two met, Cao Hong explained Cao *'s plan in great detail, Cao Chun pondered for a moment, and immediately nodded: "Brother Zilian, I'll get ready first, and when Han Hao and Princess Yuyang are separated, we are like this... , will definitely be able to wipe out Han Haojun!" Cao

Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he had a clever plan.

Let's not talk about the two people's plans, and then look at Han Hao.

Han Hao's 50,000 troops escorted Princess Yuyang, and the end was mighty and powerful.

On this day, the army passed by Chen County, and saw the flags fluttering at the head of the city, the figures of the people understood, and the people and horses in the county neighed, Han Hao suddenly felt that his heart was not good. He knew the plan of the lord Yuan Shu, to burn Cao* and Liu Biao's grain and grass. However, now it seems that this Chen County is safe and sound, and there are heavy troops to defend it.

"The lord's plan may have failed, and there are a lot of defenders in Chen County...but this is none of my business, I just escort Princess Yuyang!" Han

Hao thought for a long time, smiled, and sent someone to pass the news back to Shouchun, while swaggering past Chen County with his people. As everyone knows, how nervous the 100 people left behind in Chen County were at this time! Chen

County seems to be tightly guarded, but in fact they are all dressed up by the people in the city, and as long as you pay a little attention, you can see the clues.

Han Hao didn't know that he had missed an opportunity, so he led the army to escort three carriages to the north. After two deaths, I finally arrived at Furaku.

Fule County is the northernmost county seat of Huaiyang State, bordering Chenliu County and Yu County. Out of the Fule boundary, it is no longer Yuzhou, but Yanzhou. So at this point, Han Hao's task is completed.

Er Qiao, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong's family, and a few captives rested overnight in Yu County, and the next morning, three carriages set out on the road alone. At this time, Han Hao was still asleep in a green building in Yu County.

At this time, the news that Princess Yuyang's carriage was on the road alone had already been learned

by Cao Chun! What about Cao Hong?

Yangxia!

At this time, Bao Hong had already laid an ambush on the edge of the oil-water ferry outside Yangxia.

Lanshui is a tributary of the Huai River system. And Fule is in the north of the pond, Yangxia is there, and it is in the south of the water. The two counties are adjacent, and the straight-line distance between the county seats is only 80 miles.

Chen Liu, Cao Chun prepared troops and horses, led the army out of the city, and went straight to Zhangjaw Military Village.

The two armies fought again, each losing a small number of men, and Cao Chun's army immediately led the army back.

Zhang Jaw didn't chase after him, such a battle, between him and Cao Chun, was almost commonplace, and he didn't have to care about it at all. But where did he expect that Cao Chun's move was just a smokescreen, just to calm his heart. It turned out that Cao Chun led the army to return to the army as soon as he made slight contact with Zhang He's forehead, and did not return to Chenliu, but went south, looking in the direction of Huaiyang Guofule!

Cao Chun led 20,000 horses and horses to march rapidly, and soon, he rushed to the territory of Fule County, and while sending people to carefully investigate the movements of Han Haojun, he led the main force to hide.
