Eastern Bears Ears Mountain.

Lushi County.

This county seat is only a small county town in Hongnong, but the population is not large, and it is slightly prosperous.

However, a few days ago, a team of soldiers and horses like wolves rushed in, and the whole city was under martial law, which suddenly made this small county town become serious.

This army of soldiers and horses is naturally the Jiangdong Army that lost on the battlefield in Guanzhong and fled in embarrassment.

In the battle that night, the Jiangdong Army was killed by the Bingzhou Army suddenly, and the Bingzhou Warrior Lu Bu personally tore apart, tearing apart the Jiangdong Army's defense layer by layer, making the Jiangdong Army almost into a rout.

In this case, almost the entire army was wiped out, and even Sun Jian might not be able to escape.

However, there are also heroes in Koto.

At a critical time, Han Dang, one of the four tiger generals under Sun Jian's command, stood up, he personally led the most heroic soldiers in Jiangdong, dragged Lu Bu, and created an opportunity for Sun Jian, so that Sun Jian took advantage of the night to break through.

But this battle also made the Jiangdong Army lose its troops and generals, and there was no foothold on the land of this pass.

In the camp.

Sun Jian's spirit is not very good, the external injuries are well treated, he did not suffer very serious injuries, but his heart is difficult to reconcile, Han Dang died in battle, and countless Jiangdong sons were killed, and he could only escape with the remnants of the soldiers in the end.

He is the Gangdong Tigers.

It's not as good as a dog and rabbit, if you are beaten by someone, you don't even have the strength to fight back.

"My lord, we have scavenged enough grain and grass in the city to support our southward journey!" A general walked in and said with his hand bowed.

"Let's go down and prepare!"

"No!"

After this battle, Sun Jian was no longer ready to stay in Guanzhong.

Guanzhong is too chaotic.

He didn't even know how to deal with the chaos.

This battle is a lesson.

He was ambitious, thinking that with the soldiers in his hands, he could save the Son of Heaven from Jiangdong, however, a basin of cold water poured down his head, almost making him almost cold, which made the fire in his heart extinguish little by little.

After resting here with the Lu family, he was ready to wave his army south.

"Lord!"

The scout lieutenant walked in from the outside and said, "There was some news from the direction of Tongguan just now!" ”

"What's the news?"

"Dong Zhuo is dead?"

"What?"

Sun Jian's pupils widened: "How is it possible?" ”

"The Son of Heaven killed it!"

"Son of Heaven?"

Sun Jian was even more puzzled: "You say it in detail!" ”

"Here's what I got from the news......

The scout lieutenant inquired about him in detail, and told him carefully before and after.

"It's possible!" Sun Jian stood up, and his eyes became a little hot again: "In this way, Dong Zhuo designed us, but the Son of Heaven designed Dong Zhuo, and the Son of Heaven is a step ahead!" ”

"But ......"

"But what?"

"It seems that the Xiliang army is counterattacking the Son of Heaven, and the subordinates of the Son of Heaven are retreating steadily, and there is news that the herdsmen have gone north, and there is still a main force of the Yuan army in Jizhou in the north, led by Yuan Benchu himself, has gone south and occupied Tongguan!"

"Damn it!"

Sun Jian became more and more angry when he heard this: "I fought with the Xiliang Army on the front line, and I didn't see any of them, but now I have jumped out one by one, and I want to pick up the cheap, and the calculation is very good!" ”

If you want to say that you are unwilling, you have.

But if he wants to lead the army back now and fight again, he doesn't dare to do it.

Because the Jiangdong Army was greatly injured.

has almost been disabled by the Bingzhou army, no matter how the battlefield changes, I am afraid it will not be his turn to pick up the cheap, and now even if he wants to transfer troops from Jiangdong, it is too late, the Guanzhong battlefield, the final game, is already on the verge of breaking out.

"Lord!"

Cheng Pu walked in from outside and handed over a secret letter: "A secret letter sent by Jiangdong!" ”

"Is something happening in Koto?" Sun Jian asked.

"I don't know!" Cheng Pu shook his head: "But it stands to reason that Jiangdong's own realm is quite stable, and there won't be too many problems, I think it should be on the battlefield of Jingzhou, there may be some things that need to be known by the lord!" ”

Jiangdong and Guanzhong, how many miles away, naturally did not write a letter to let Sun Jian make an idea, but more to tell Sun Jian about the matter, so that Sun Jian knew, after all, Sun Jian is the lord of Jiangdong.

"Bo Fu and Gong Jin, they are bold!"

Sun Jian opened the letter, looked at it, his pupils changed a little, and then handed it to Cheng Pu: "Demou, take a look!" ”

"What are they?"

Cheng Pu looked at it and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "If you do it well, it will be beneficial to Jiangdong, and I am afraid that it will be screwed!" ”

"I believe in Bo Fu's judgment, and I also believe in Gong Jin's caution, since they have made such a decision, it shows that they have already calculated, this is the best for Jiangdong!"

Sun Jian said: "But just in case, I still have to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation, after all, ......."

He said with a wry smile: "What we are provoking is the most dazzling young man of that big man!" ”

"Then I will arrange for the withdrawal of troops now, and the camp will be withdrawn in an hour!"

"Go ahead!"

Sun Jian nodded.

Originally, Sun Jian still had a little thought, and wanted to stay and see if he could take advantage of the chaos to pick up a little cheap, but now, he thinks that there is no need, the situation in Guanzhong is already very clear, no matter who loses or wins, Jiangdong Army has little hope.

But now Jiangdong needs him, the lord, to go to the town in person.

………………………………

To the west, on the north bank of the Yellow River, on the left Fengyi, there is a county called Chongquan.

This county seat is one hundred and fifty miles away from Tongguan, and is separated by a Yellow River, which was inconspicuous in the past and is inconspicuous now.

But this county town was originally controlled by some local gentry clans, and now it has changed owners.

This county seat is now surnamed Cao.

After Cao's army withdrew from the Guanzhong battlefield, he went all the way to the west, if the Yellow River, crossed a hundred miles, and then camped around Chongquan County, and did not enter the city, but needed to be in charge of the city, so the intimidation brought threats, so that more than ten village gentry in the city all surrendered.

Externally, it is as calm as ever.

But many people know that the world has changed.

Cao Cao hasn't been impatient lately.

Although he withdrew, on the battlefield, he left a nail behind, and he believed that to strain him, he would be faster than anything else and would not lose his chance.

Now he's waiting.

and other changes on the battlefield.

From light to dark, he changed from a praying mantis catching cicadas to a yellow finch with a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind.

Of course, who is the yellow finch, who is the praying mantis, who is the cicada, no one can say clearly, the chaos of the battlefield, so that the situation has become chaotic for a while, and now even the wisest and self-confident strategists dare not speculate on this side of the battlefield.

"Lord, a letter from the eldest prince!" On the west side of the county seat, a school field, it seems to be just an ordinary school field, but now it is where Cao Cao's middle camp is located, although he does not show the mountains and water, but the county soldiers in the whole city have been replaced by him, and now the city is the safest.

"Say what?"

Cao Cao asked calmly.

"The eldest prince said that at present, our rectification of Yanzhou and Yuzhou has been accelerated, and Xun Yu invited some Yingchuan scholars to stand for us, so that many counties in various places will raise their hands and surrender."

"But for now, there is simply no way to recruit more soldiers and horses and put them on the battlefield in Guanzhong!"

The scribe next to him read softly.

"It's a normal thing too!"

Cao Cao naturally understands that now the base camp in Xuzhou has poured out, and almost all the troops have been invested in the battlefield of Guanzhong, and Yanzhou Yuzhou, with the influence of the Cao family, how can it be so easy to take down, even if Xun Yu invites the Yingchuan clan out, it is difficult to rectify this aspect in the short term.

Cao Cao wrote a letter, sealed it with fire paint, and handed it to the guard: "Xiahou Yu, you personally send this letter back, and then tell Zixiu that the matter of Guanzhong is determined by his father, and he doesn't need to worry about it, he just needs to guard Xuzhou and stabilize Yanyu and Yanyu for his father!" ”

Zixiu, naturally, is Cao Zixiu, Cao Ang, his eldest son of Cao Cao, and currently his first heir to the Cao family.

Historically, this Cao Ang died early.

But now there is no Battle of Nanyang, and because of the influence of some external forces, Cao Ang has grown up very quickly, and he can already replace his father Cao Cao and sit in the base camp.

"No!"

The guards are from the Xiahou family, the Xiahou family, the Cao family, is a family, and is Cao Cao's most trusted person, and many of the guards around him are all young adults of the Cao family's Xiahou family, this Xiahou Yu is relatively trustworthy.

After the guards left, Cao Cao continued to read, he wanted to read and meditate, he didn't want his heart to be too anxious, but he was only a person, and he would not worry about the battlefield.

"Lord, this is a letter sent back by the battlefield scouts in the past two days!"

Guo Jia walked in, panting a little as he ran.

"You crossed the river to get the news yourself?"

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Guo Jia, frowning slightly.

"The layout of the south bank still needs to be a little more detailed, I will personally come here, by the way to bring these news back, currently we are on the north bank, the south bank of the news, some shortcomings, can never make a more careful speculation!"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

"You are not in good health, in the future, let the people below do these things instead, and you don't want to be affected!"

Cao Cao attaches great importance to Guo Jia, and in the military, he thinks every proposal of Guo Jia is just right, but Guo Jia's body has never been very good, and he doesn't want Guo Jia to work so hard.

"It's okay!"

Guo Jia's pale face smiled, and said: "Lord, although Jia is a child of the scholar family, his young family has fallen behind, and the idea of studying has also suffered a lot. ”

"It is rumored that you and the drama Zhicai of the Minghou Mansion are from the same sect and worship the same teacher?"

"Hmm!"

"You've heard of this person's power!"

"I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can understand his power better than me!"

"But he is also the fate of the untimely death, the more wise the person, the more mean God is, filial piety, there is no wonderful hand rejuvenation of the herding dragon, the ability to break the abdomen, I only hope you can take good care of your body, so that we can all see, the future of the Han Dynasty!"

Cao Cao walked over, patted Guo Jia's shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

"The lord's invitation, how dare Jia disobey, as long as the lord does not allow it, even God can't take Jia's life!" Guo Jia was a little moved, he has been studying for more than ten years, and he is talented in learning, just to find a Ming Jun, supplement him, create a career, or hegemony, or calm the world, create troubled times, and leave a name in history.

Cao Cao received a wave of people's hearts, and then returned to the topic, he didn't even need to read these news, and asked directly: "Dong Zhuo's guy has killed himself, is there any news on the battlefield now?" ”

The news of Dong Zhuo's death had already come back a few days earlier.

But after this news, a lot of news did not come back, which made Cao Cao's judgment of the battlefield not very accurate.

"Although Dong Zhuo is dead, but the Son of Heaven is still there, the Xiliang Army got the news that Dong Zhuo was killed by the Son of Heaven, and they fought back, attacked to the death, and the state army was defeated, and the court army of the Son of Heaven was even more defeated, and finally retreated to Huayang!"

Guo Jia directly reported in an oral statement, saying: "Huayang is just a small town under Huayin, the adobe of the countryside, how can it be stopped, on the day of the city, Wang Yun killed himself, Sima Fang and other generals of the Han Dynasty were slaughtered, and at present, Guo Yan and Li Yu have taken the Son of Heaven hostage!" ”

"Xiliang is a fierce army after all, and the Son of Heaven is still careless!"

Cao Cao squinted: "But the posture of the Son of Heaven as a young man, he can have such ability, buy Lu Bu and kill Dong Zhuo, but it should not be underestimated, maybe ......"

"Maybe what?"

"Zhongxing Han Room!"

"The lord also looks up to the Son of Heaven!" Guo Jia shook his head: "After all, the Son of Heaven is scheming and has a cold temperament, such a person, it is difficult to become a big weapon, compared to such a calculation, if he is imprisoned and not killed, it is possible to hold the army of Xiliang, but in a fit of anger, he killed Dong Zhuo, but the Xiliang army who committed the crime suffered so much, Wang Yun and others, planned for him for many years, worked hard all his life, and finally in order to protect himself, he could only put all the responsibility on them, such a king, it is difficult to be the master!" ”

"Teenagers, don't be too harsh!"

Cao Cao shook his head, and then he continued, "Is there any other news? ”

"Jizhou Yuan's army, entering Tongguan, has now won the initiative on the entire battlefield, and the troops should be the strongest!"

"Yuan Shao is here in person?"

"Probably right!"

"He's a bit of a city, counting us all in, I thought he didn't look down on the Son of Heaven, it seems that we underestimated him too much, if it weren't for a certain family from light to dark, I'm afraid he wouldn't have shown his tracks so easily!"

"When it comes to this, he will move if he doesn't move!"

"What about the shepherds?"

"I have gone north, but I am very restrained, and I have not launched any attack on the battlefield of Guanzhong, even if the Son of Heaven falls into the hands of the Xiliang army, it seems that I don't care, and now the troops are in the south of Huayin!"

"Then the first to bear the brunt is Lu Bu?"

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised a sneer: "Lu Bu......"

"First betray Ding Yuan, then rebel against Lu Bu, and then give up the Son of Heaven, this person is not of good character!"

"It's okay!"

Cao Cao said indifferently: "I like to use such people, it's easy to use, and there is no need to have a burden, if you can't use it, you can kill it, what's so difficult!" ”

"I'm afraid it won't be of use to us!"

"Not necessarily!"

Cao Cao said: "If it was before, he had the capital to be arrogant, but now, surrounded by the herdsman's army, he will soon be a lost dog, of course, I will not send troops, it depends on whether he has the ability to kill it!" ”

He stood up and thought about it: "It seems that we have forgotten someone!" ”

"The lord is talking about the Youzhou Army?"

"The Jiangdong Army was defeated, Sun Wentai probably didn't have too much thought, but the Youzhou Army, although the strength was not very strong, but at the beginning, he Liu Xuande withdrew with the help of the northern lure army, and saved all the main forces!"

Cao Cao sneered and said: "This fang is not good, how can he be easily fooled, I'm afraid that now, his troops have already returned!" ”

"This battlefield is getting more and more chaotic!"

Guo Jia sighed.

"It's good to mess up, we have a chance, otherwise we don't have any chance at all, now look at Yuan Benchu and Mu Longtu, who can't bear it, strike first, or, Liu Xuande makes the first move, so it's in our interests!"

Cao Cao said: "Tell the tiger and leopard rider, without an order, absolutely can't move, can't be discovered, can't have a trace of mistakes, whether I can regain control of the initiative, it depends on this hidden strange soldier!" ”
