The Yellow River is surging, the water waves are undulating, the waves are crashing on the stones, and the splashes are stirred up one after another.

"Fengxiao, our main force is about to meet with the Xiliang army, it stands to reason that it is difficult to win this battle against Xiliang, but why does a certain still feel a little uneasy!" Standing on the bank of the river, Cao Cao was dressed in a military uniform, holding the hilt of his sword, his eyes staring at the river in front of him, and he said in a low voice.

"It's a normal thing!"

Guo Jia wore a green robe, stood behind Cao Cao, and responded: "On the battlefield, there is never an absolute, victory and defeat, but it is just a moment, even if we have a chance to win, it is still not a victory, we only know after fighting!" ”

"The lord feels danger and pressure at this time, that is the acumen of a military general!"

"This shows that the lord does not underestimate the enemy!"

Guo Jia said: "But the lord doesn't have to worry too much, our army Chen Bing is here, Hongnong is in no danger, we have a great chance of winning this battle, as long as we don't rush forward easily, I believe that Xiliang is difficult to do!" ”

"A certain family is afraid that it will repeat the mistakes of the past!" Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Back then, the momentum was huge, sweeping the whole world, and the princes from all walks of life gathered one after another, but in the end, they ended up almost defeated!" ”

"Lord, this time is different from the past!"

Guo Jiadao: "In the past, the princes would be in the alliance, but they had different intentions, and it was difficult to do anything, that was a normal thing, and now the four princes of the world are gathered, and the main forces of the four roads are attacking, with the same goal, how can there be no action!" ”

"Maybe I'm thinking too much!"

Cao Cao sighed and quickly cheered up: "Order, order Cao Ren Xiahoudun, immediately advance twenty miles, and fight a battle with the Xiliang army!" ”

"No!"

"In addition, tell Ju Yi that I will give him another three hours, if he can't lead the army to catch up, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Cao Cao said coldly.

The Yuan army of Jizhou dragged out the march, nothing more than that he didn't want to go to the battlefield and didn't want to be used as a gunman, but this time, I'm afraid they can't help it.

"Lord!"

Guo Jia suddenly spoke: "Have you read today's Northern Recital?" ”

"Look, it's calm, what's the problem?"

"It's just so calm!"

Guo Jia said: "Jizhou should have known that Liu Bei went south, but they didn't do anything at all, isn't this a strange thing!" ”

"That's right, it stands to reason that Yuan Benchu should have waved his troops in Youzhou!"

"So I have a guess!"

"Say!"

"Yuan Shao is here!"

"What?" Cao Cao squinted: "You mean, Yuan Shao went south!" ”

"He may not come to the battlefield, but he is a good hand at picking up cheap, at this time, I guess, he is in Guanzhong, and the main force of Yuan's army should also be assembled in Wei County and Hanoi, so he can't take care of the north!"

"What does he want to do?"

"We fight in front, he naturally wants to pick up cheap in the back, for example, Guanzhong!"

"Such a big appetite!"

"At least take the three counties of Hanoi, Hedong and Henan, when the time comes, he will occupy half of the rivers and mountains in Guanzhong, and then rebuild Luoyang, if he can support the Son of Heaven, it is naturally the best, even if he can't, Yuan Shu dares to be the emperor, Yuan Shao doesn't dare?"

Guo Jia made a bold guess.

"I know Yuan Benchu, he may have such a heart, but he is very strict in judging the situation and will not make a mistake like Yuan Shu, he doesn't dare!"

Cao Cao shook his head.

"Perhaps!"

Guo Jia said: "But I can be sure that he is absolutely uneasy and kind, as the so-called sandpiper and clam compete for the profit of the fisherman, he may be waiting for us to fight with the Xiliang Army!" ”

"He is not the only one looking down on Yuan Benchu!"

Cao Cao didn't have much fear, if he wanted to pick up cheap, he also had to have such strength, he was not afraid of gritting his teeth, Yuan Shao could come and try it, could he pick up cheap.

"The lord is talking about the shepherd!"

"The herdsmen have entered Chang'an!"

This news was not hidden for long, even if the battlefield was hot, it was impossible to ignore the news outside, and the news of Chang'an had been let these princes know one after another: "But he didn't go north!" ”

"It's right not to go north!"

Guo Jia said: "If he goes north, he will be the one who dies, Minghou is a smart person, how can he easily make risks!" ”

"It is a pity that I was not able to kill him back then!" Cao Cao pinched the bridge of his nose and said with a wry smile: "There are not many people who are actually afraid of a certain family, he is one, I have killed him, I have saved him, I have killed his father, and I have also served under the Mu family, and there are few people in the world who can compare to me in my understanding, he is a person, how to say you, I only have two words to evaluate!" ”

"Those two words?"

"Danger!"

Cao Cao said: "What I regret the most back then was that at the banquet, it was his father who assassinated him, not him, if it was him, maybe I could succeed, and today there is no such thing as his herding dragon!" ”

"There is no Mulong Map, there will be other people, in the troubled times, the heroes rise together, the lord, how can there be no opponent!" Guo Jia said lightly.

"That's right!"

Cao Cao laughed: "Why be afraid of opponents, the world is vast, and it is a good thing that someone walks with you!" ”

"Lord, the military situation is urgent!"

A scout rode in.

"Report it!"

"Yes!"

The scout brought the recital up.

Cao Cao opened a mouthful, his eyes were slightly gloomy: "The Xiliang army seems to have broken through from the north, and a part, there are about five or six thousand soldiers, who have killed the encirclement and are heading towards Hedong, looking at its intentions, it should be to return to Xiliang from Hedong, Liu Xuande suspects that Dong Zhuo may want to take the opportunity to escape, Jin Cicada broke out of his shell, took the Son of Heaven back to Xiliang, and has led the army to pursue it!" ”

"It shouldn't be!"

Guo Jia said with a straight face: "Will Dong Zhuo abandon the main force of Xiliang and return to Liangzhou alone?" ”

"I also know that it shouldn't be, but I can't guard against it, so Liu Bei went to chase it!"

"Liu Bei's Youzhou army is not weak!"

"Don't damage the main force, no fear!"

"It always feels like they're deliberately diverting our main force!"

"Why?"

"I don't know, that's why I can't figure it out!"

"No matter what, we can't let Dong Zhuo escape from Guanzhong, Liu Bei is chasing after it, it's also a normal thing, the Youzhou army is not strong, and it was killed by Xiliang for a while, there are very few people who can help us, let them go!" Cao Cao thought about it and did not pursue.

………………

The Battle of Tongguan was fought very quickly.

The first battle was fought north of Tongguan.

Tongguan to the north, crossing the river, is a large plain, this plain, although there are some woods, but there are not many places that can be covered, is an open battlefield.

The general of Xiliang, Guo Yan, led an army of 50,000 and collided with the Youzhou army.

This battle was fought for a day and a night.

Although the Xiliang Army has a military advantage, it has not been able to suppress the Youzhou Army on the battlefield, the Youzhou Army can be killed from Youzhou, and it is also a fierce soldier, plus Liu Bei personally commanded, Guan Yu charged unparalleled, and Bai Ma Yi from the pressure field, with one enemy and two, it is not inferior.

In the end, the Xiliang Army took the lead in retreating and withdrawing from the battlefield, while the Youzhou Army was in hot pursuit.

On the river, the Jiangdong Army relied on the bamboo rafts and wooden rows built from the surrounding areas to form a naval force, so that the Xiliang Army could not cross the river.

In the end, the Xiliang army took advantage of this dark night to avoid two ferries before letting the main force cross the river.

When crossing the river, a part of the main force suddenly withdrew, reversed to the north, crossed the defense line of the Youzhou army from a few small roads, and went all the way north, heading towards the east of the river......

……………………

When night falls, Tongguan is brightly lit.

"Lord, now that the Youzhou Army has been lured to Hedong, it will not participate in the battle of Tongguan for the time being!" Dong Zhuo of Li Ruyu's report.

"It's cheap, Liu Xuande's house!"

Dong Zhuo was still a little indignant, he wanted to serve it in a pot, but Li Ru's suggestion, he still listened to it, after all, safety is the first, if you can reduce the pressure, you can reduce the pressure, and ensure that you win this battle, which is the key.

"There will be a chance to clean him up in the future!"

Li Ru said: "Now we need to continue to feint, even Huayin City will not leave any soldiers and horses, withdraw, and put all the main forces in Tongguan!" ”

"All or nothing!"

"That's all there is to it!" Li Ru said: "Don't hurt them, they don't understand and are in awe!" ”

"Then retreat!"

"At present, it depends on whether their coalition forces can successfully capture Huayin, as long as they take Huayin, they can enter Tongguan unscrupulously, after all, Tongguan is in their hearts, maybe it is just a small pass, not enough!"

Li Ru said.

"Where is Feng Xian?" Dong Zhuo asked suddenly.

"Stationed outside Tongguan, on the fifteen-mile mountain!"

"You can't let Cao Jun be too obvious, you give an order, let Feng go to fight first!" Dong Zhuo was still full of experience on the battlefield, and he said in a deep voice: "It's too smooth, they will be suspicious!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Ru nodded.

………………

The coalition forces attacked Huayin City, and the main forces were the Jiangdong Army and the Jizhou Yuan Army.

Sun Jian was willing, but for the first time, Ju Yi was a little unwilling, but now, Ju Yi really didn't dare to take the risk and let the princes of the world get the handle and attack Jizhou.

So if you don't want to, you have to fight.

Huayin is a main city of Hongnong, this is a city with high walls and thick walls, the Xiliang army has 10,000 main forces, the main general is a Xiliang general, but the subordinates are only less than 2,000 descendants, and the others are forcibly recruited from Guanzhong.

This makes the battle a little easier.

After four hours of fighting, Sun Jian broke through Huayin City, Xiliang 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the lord was beheaded by Sun Jian's ancient ingot sword, and the rest scattered and fled.

"It's so easy!"

Sun Jian stood at the head of the city, looking into the distance, it was a mountain range, the rumored Huashan Mountain.

"Maybe the Xiliang Army doesn't take this city seriously!"

Ju Yi and Sun Jian stood side by side.

"Taking Huayin, for us, it can be regarded as a good start, send someone to summon Cao Cao, and we can start the encirclement and suppression of the Xiliang army!" Sun Jian thought for a while and said.

………………

The news didn't spread quickly.

Just when Huayin was attacked, the vanguard of Cao's army encountered Lu Bu's sniping.

Cao Jun 10,000.

Lu Bu only led 8,000 main forces.

The two armies fought on a plain southeast of Tongguan, more than 30 miles.

The vanguard of the Cao army, the two major generals, one Cao Ren and one Xiahou Dun, were all fierce generals of the Cao army, and the two generals each led the army, opened the formation, and Lu Bu's merge state army, face to face hard resistance.

Lu Bu intended to sneak attack, but the Cao army scouts found it too quickly, resulting in a sneak attack, and finally turned into a strong attack.

This battle was fought very quickly and fiercely.

In less than two hours, the battle was over.

Cao's army was defeated for the first time.

Lu Bu's ferocity, Cao Ren and Xiahou Tang together, could not stop his charge, he alone was like an army, forcibly tore apart the formation of the Cao army, tore the Cao army's army formations apart, and the state army took the opportunity to kill violently.

In the end, Cao's army couldn't bear it anymore, left 2,000 corpses, and was forced to withdraw from the battlefield and withdraw to the rear.

The state army did not chase and fight, and after winning this battle, they directly collected their troops and went back.

………………

It has been three days since the beginning of the battle, and one news after another has gathered on Cao Cao's case.

Cao Jun is the strongest, Cao Cao is the leader of the alliance this time, there is no need to say it, whether it is Liu Bei or Sun Jian, it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, obeying Cao Cao's deployment and attacking.

So Cao Cao's pressure is the greatest.

"Lu Fengxian, is it really so fierce?" Cao Cao's eyes looked a little gentle, but Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, who were kneeling under the case, continued to sweat coldly.

"Lord, the last general and others are indeed invincible to this fang!"

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun arched their hands and said.

"Lord, please fight!" A fierce and majestic man stood up, his sound waves were like thunder, his eyes flashed, and there was a sense of war all over his body.

"Junming, you fought with him!"

Cao Cao looked at the strong man and said, "Are you sure?" “

"Nope!"

Dian Wei said angrily, although he was arrogant, but it was precisely because he had fought with Lu Bu that he didn't dare to say this: "Lu Feng is the first fang, his martial arts have reached the peak, and he fights alone, no one in the world can say that he can take him!" ”

"What about joining forces?"

"It depends on who joins forces!"

Dian Wei glanced at the camp and said, "Fa Wei is arrogant, the people in the tent, join forces with me, and the combat power will not increase!" ”

The internal strength of each martial arts is different, and the fighting style is different, so joining forces is not a good suggestion.

In addition, in terms of his martial arts, there are very few people who are qualified to join forces with him today, instead of dragging him back.

"My lord, what General Dian said is right!" Xiahoudun said with a wry smile: "With our martial arts, even if we join forces with General Dian, not only will we not be able to increase our combat effectiveness, but we will even drag General Dian down if we take Lu Bu!" ”

"Is Lu Fengxian really so difficult?" Cao Cao clenched his fists.

"Lord!"

Guo Jia stood up, bowed his hand, and said: "Lu Bu's martial arts are indeed difficult to deal with, this fang's ferocity, the only general in the world, the Nanyang Sword King and the like, can deal with it, but don't worry too much, you can't take him, it's enough!" ”

"Hold him back?"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the Xiliang Army will treat this as a knife and won't let us hold it back!" ”

"Then it's up to them!"

Guo Jia sneered, spread out the map, and said: "At present, the military village of the Xiliang Army is not one, but along the line on the south bank of the Yellow River, which is closest to us, and it is still the main force of Bingzhou, we can attack the Bingzhou army first, and then attack Xiliang, if Xiliang is aided, it is better, we can take advantage of the situation to transfer the troops, presumably Xiliang will not be in danger for Lu Bu, and when the time comes, as long as Lu Bu is isolated, he can only find a way to deal with it!" ”

Guo Jia is still very clear about Lu Bu's details: "Although Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's son, this person may not be loyal to Lu Bu, if he endangers himself, will he fight to the death for Lu Bu!" ”

"Attack the state army first, and then attack Xiliang?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, nodded and said: "This plan is very good, just do it according to this plan, pass on my military order, transfer all departments, march overnight, I want to personally attack the military village of Bingzhou, and at the same time order Sun Jian to bow to the north, immediately go north from Huayin, and drag the main force of Xiliang!" “
