Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren jointly issued an order to the Cao army west of Feishui to rush to the aid of Chengde.

And their every move was monitored by Zhuge Liang, and at that moment, a scout Hui came to report: "Back to the military division, the Cao army sent a small force, which seems to be marching in the direction of Feishui. ”

"Good! Great work! Zhuge Liang waved the scout away.

Ma Liang found that Zhuge Liang seemed to be in a good mood, so he asked, "Strategist, why did you look so happy when you heard that Cao Jun sent a small force to Feishui?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Without him." There are quite a few Cao troops west of Feishui defending against a possible attack by our army, and the Cao army sent a small force to go, presumably to give military orders to those Cao troops. The division concluded that it was the movement on Wenyuan's side that caused Cao Jun to make this move. ”

"General Zhang Wenyuan? Could it be that the military advisor asked General Wen Yuan to attack the city? Ma Liang asked knowingly.

Zhuge Liang feather fan pointed to Chengde City on the map and said: "Wenyuan wants to take this Chengde City, which makes Cao Jun frightened." ”

Ma Liang understood that the importance of Chengde City was highlighted when Liu Jun occupied the southern part of Yuzhou, and Zhang Liao had launched an attack on Chengde before, but was finally blocked. This time, Zhuge Liang gave Zhang Liao more troops to take Chengde City. After taking Chengde City, Ma Liang estimated that Zhuge Liang would move his troops westward to attack Huainan and cut off Cao Cao's back road.

In fact, according to Ma Liang's thinking, it is good, but Zhuge Liang is playing a big game. He not only wanted to cut off Cao Cao's back road, but also inserted it into Cao Cao's heart and killed Cao Cao.

"Ji Chang, pass the order, but whenever there are Cao army troops going to Feishui from Xiahou Yuan, don't let any of them go, and all of them will be killed by their own divisions. At the same time, the Cao army coming west of Feishui could not let go, and they all had to be killed. For his own plan, Zhuge Liang had to give a vicious order.

Ma Liang took the order and left.

And Zhang Fei thought about it for a while, and then took advantage of Zhuge Liang's lack of attention to follow Ma Liang out.

Of course, Zhuge Liang knew Zhang Fei's small actions, and he didn't interfere, in fact, he felt in his heart that Zhang Fei was the best candidate to do it.

Not surprisingly, Zhang Fei got this task directly from Ma Liang's hands, patting his chest and promising that he would not let a Cao soldier leave alive.

Ma Liang didn't want to, Zhang Fei's huge fists were already clenched, and it seemed that he would be beaten if he didn't agree with him.

Zhang Fei took 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp.

On the other side, Guan Yu led the light cavalry, hiding in a wood, waiting for Cao Jun's action.

Guan Yu felt the pressure on his task, and if one was not good, his side would be exposed and surrounded by Cao Jun. Guan Yu I's reputation will be swept away.

But if he succeeds, his reputation will become known to the world. It was destined to be a hundred years old.

Zhang Liao set up a full position and marched towards Chengde City, the purpose of which Guan Yu had long been clear, he was now always paying attention to the movements of the Cao army west of Feishui, as long as the Cao army here was marching towards Chengde City, then Guan Yu would launch a crazy attack after they went away.

In fact, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang didn't know that the number of Cao troops in this area was actually pitiful, and with Guan Yu's troops, it was okay to directly break through. This can be regarded as a small mistake by Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang.

Sure enough, a small group of Cao's army rushed in, and after staying in a small city for a while, they turned around and left for other cities.

Guan Yu looked coldly at this small Cao army, this Cao army was actually all cavalry, presumably the elite troops of the Cao army. Guan Yu decided to hold his troops for now, so as not to startle the snake. Cao's army is all cavalry, and if one escapes, then Guan Yu's whereabouts will be exposed.

Another point is that there will be wolf smoke in every small city, and once Guan Yu attacks, Cao Jun will ignite the wolf smoke, and Guan Yu's whereabouts will also be exposed.

Guan Yu also has a solution to this situation. He had already prepared a lot of Cao Jun's armor and clothing to deceive the city. Guan Yu had already made proper arrangements, just waiting for Cao Jun to move first.

After waiting for a while, the previous small force of Cao's army reappeared, but this time they returned the same way.

Guan Yu watched from afar as this small group of Cao Jun left. After an hour passed, Guan Yu found that there was no Cao Jun coming.

If he continued to wait, Guan Yu was worried that there would be some chaos.

So Guan Yu ordered some soldiers to pretend to be Cao Jun, who came to support, and deceive the city in front of him. Guan Yu was gambling, he expected that Cao Jun would definitely send reinforcements here.

Guan Yu specially ordered the soldiers to leave one or two tongues, and he wanted to ask what the small group of troops had explained to them just now.

Liu Jun was well prepared, and he really cheated the small city in front of him. It didn't take long for a fierce battle to take place in the town.

Cao Jun didn't even have a chance to light the beacon fire, and Guan Yu's people occupied the entire city.

Of course, Liu Jun's soldiers were all obedient, and they really just left a few Cao soldiers alive.

Guan Yu led his troops directly into the city.

After interrogating a few living mouths, Guan Yu learned what Cao Jun's military order was just now. Guan Yu was happy, it seemed that his strategy was right. Cao Jun will really send reinforcements.

The rest of the cities received the same order.

After getting what he wanted, Guan Yu wiped out all these living mouths.

It's not that Guan Yu is cruel, but it's difficult to explain things on the battlefield clearly. The whereabouts of Guan Yu's department have been known by these few living mouths, and if they are kept, sooner or later they will be a disaster. Killed all these live mouths in one go, and Guan Yu also saved some snacks.

All the Cao Jun were killed by Guan Yu, and none of them were left alive.

Guan Yu then ordered the soldiers to take off all the armor and services on Cao Jun's body and keep them so that they could be used by Liu Jun.

After all, if Liu Jun pretended to be Cao Jun, his success rate would be greatly improved.

The corpses of the Cao soldiers who were stripped naked, Guan Yu was still relatively humane, leaving a small number of soldiers here, and at the same time digging a big pit to bury them all, so as not to let these Cao soldiers be violent corpses in the wilderness.

The small number of soldiers left behind, of course, also had the role of defending the city, in case the reinforcements of the Cao army came, they could also block them out of the city, giving Guan Yu enough time.

But the soldiers who stayed behind were very dangerous.

Guan Yu knew this, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to sacrifice some of the soldiers.

If you win Shouchun, no matter how much loss you have, you can accept it.

After everything was arranged, Guan Yu pretended to be Cao Jun and marched towards another city, and he wanted to follow this method, one after another, to take down the cities west of Feishui.

Shouchun City, because of Xun You's strategy of killing a hundred people last time, all the unstable elements in the entire Shouchun were temporarily settled.

Whether it is Dong Cheng, Sima Lang, Liu Yu, or others, they are all worried about whether their plans will fail.

Compared with others, Liu Yu has a bit of an easy time, and his daily arrangement is almost to stand guard and follow Liu Xie, or rest in his own exclusive room.

Liu Yu has his own exclusive rest room this time. This is Liu Xie's gift, and it can be regarded as a small privilege of Liu Yu.

Li Gui didn't have this treatment, in order to avoid being overly suspicious, Li Gui reduced his contact with Liu Yu on the surface.

Liu Yu looked relaxed on the surface, but secretly, the "shadow" spies who followed Liu Yu sent information such as the battle situation to Liu Yu's hands every day, and Liu Yu was worried every day.

Liu Jun's offensive continued to intensify, which was expected by Liu Yu. Shouchun City will encounter the arrival of Liu Jun at any time. From all indications, Huang Zhong and others were preparing to disobey Liu Yu's orders and kill Liu Xie.

Don't think that Liu Xie will believe Huang Zhong's assurance. Those who are loyal to Liu Yu will kill Liu Xie for Liu Yu, so as not to leave hidden dangers in the future. For the sake of glory and wealth, he will also kill Liu Xie in exchange for a great reward.

Therefore, if Shouchun is attacked, then Liu Xie's family will bear the brunt, and I don't know how many forces will take the lives of Liu Xie's family. Don't say that children are innocent, everyone understands the truth of cutting grass and eradicating the roots.

But Liu Yu absolutely doesn't want to see such a situation happen, he and Liu Xie have been in a relationship for so many years, and when Liu Yu needed family affection the most, Liu Xie has been by Liu Yu's side as a younger brother. What kind of power in the world, these are not what Liu Yu wants. If Liu Yu had a choice, Liu Yu hoped that he could be reborn in the prosperous world, and it would be good to be an ordinary person.

Of course, Liu Yu didn't believe Huang Zhong and them, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Shouchun in person.

Another reason, Liu Yu hopes to meet Cao Cao for the last time. Liu Yu guessed that with Cao Cao's character, he would definitely live and die with Shouchun City. But so far, Liu Yu has not seen Cao Cao.

On this day, it was Liu Yu's turn to stand guard on duty, and Liu Yu was in a daze at this time, looking forward to Cao Cao, who hadn't seen Cao Cao for so many years, and didn't know what Cao Cao had become.

And at the south gate of Shouchun, a large number of troops appeared. The leader is domineering, and he is Cao Cao. Cao Cao was surrounded by Guo Jia, Xu Chu and others.

As soon as Cao Cao's banner appeared, the people gathered at the entire south gate hurriedly moved out of the way.

In their minds, the real master of Yuzhou is only Cao Cao. Cao Cao holds the power of life and death, and he is an emperor-like actual existence in Yuzhou, but he does not have the name of an emperor. The common people belong to the weak, and for a figure like Cao Cao, no one dares to stand in his way.

The guards at the south gate of Shouchun naturally knew Cao Cao, and opened the city gate like crazy.

Cao Cao didn't have any expression, and directly led all the troops into the city gate quickly.

At the moment when Cao Cao entered the city gate. The whole Shouchun was shocked.

Cao Cao is back! Returned to Shouchun with a large army.

Dong Cheng and Sima Lang, as well as some people with different hearts, are all empty-hearted. Cao Cao was originally confronting Huang Zhong, and it stands to reason that he would not suddenly return to Shouchun. It is nothing more than two possibilities, one is that Cao Cao returned defeated. The other is that Cao Cao received some rumors, which were not conducive to him Cao Cao's rumors, so he rushed back in a hurry.

The first possibility was directly ignored by Dong Cheng and others, who kept an eye on the battle situation and did not receive relevant information.

And the last possibility is what Dong Cheng and others are worried about. If Cao Cao received the news and came back, he might go on a killing spree.

If that happens, they're in danger.

The moment Cao Cao returned to Shouchun, all the restless people immediately ordered their men to stop all movements, and not to be caught by Cao Cao in any way.

Cao Cao didn't know that his return had made the forces of the entire Shouchun City nervous.

The first thing he did when he returned to Shouchun, Cao Cao summoned Xun You and others in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xun You and the others didn't let Cao Cao wait long before they all arrived.

Cao Cao looked at all his subordinates, and Zhengse said: "Lone returned this time because Lone's strategy failed. There are only a few soldiers and horses in Ruyin City now, and Liu Jun will kill Shouchun City at any time. ”

Xun You and Xun Yu were shocked, they didn't expect Cao Cao to return to Shouchun at all, and they were the first to tell them such a thing.

Guo Jia and Xu Chu, who were standing on both sides of Cao Cao, both had dark faces. Especially Guo Jia, Cao Cao's strategy failed, and he had to bear some responsibility.

Xun You and Xun Yu both looked at Guo Jia with incredulous expressions, and their eyes contained deep doubt.

Guo Jia could only smile bitterly.

Tuntian Captain Zao only stood up with a serious face and said: "Lord, I am willing to fight to the death with my lord and Liu Jun!" With Shouchun's treasury, it is no problem to hold it for two or three years. ”

Cao Cao looked at Jujube and was very pleased.

Zao Yi is a very smart literati, and Cao Cao has a share of his credit for being able to persist in Yuzhou for so long. Zao only put all his energy into Yuzhou's agricultural affairs, and increased Yuzhou's grain output a lot.

The most important thing is that Zao Yi is absolutely loyal to Cao Cao, Cao Cao asked him to die, and he did it without hesitation.

"I'm willing to go to the soup with the lord."

Seeing that Zao Yi only came out to express his position, everyone else swore that they would live and die with Cao Cao.

"That's right! Liu Jun wants to destroy Lone, but Lone will not let them get their wish so easily. Cao Cao just said that, just to see if his subordinates would have different intentions or timidity.

The result was very satisfying to Cao Cao, and his men were all loyal.

"Gongda, has there been any change in Shouchun recently?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun You, as the chief official of Shouchun appointed by Cao Cao, immediately told everything that had happened recently, of course, including Xun Yu's ideas for Xun You, Xun You said them all.

Cao Cao nodded, the current situation is not favorable to Cao Cao, there are so many restless people in Shouchun City, there must be many small actions in secret, Xun You and Xun Yu's approach is right.

Cao Cao felt that now that he was back in Shouchun, those erratic villains must put away their minions, so as not to be discovered by themselves.
