When Zhang He entered the camp, he asked Cao Cao: "Cao Gong, since Zhang Fei is here, he must be prepared, how can we attack him?" ”

If people dare to come, it proves that they are sure to leave with their whole body. Now that the two are together, how can they fight to win? Zhang He doesn't want to fight into a pot of porridge and then win and lose each other, this is not the ending he wants.

Victory or defeat doesn't matter to Cao Cao. In his opinion, as long as the Son of Heaven can be snatched away, even if the 20,000 army is all buried here, it is cost-effective.

With the Son of Heaven in hand, haven't you Liu Xuande always advertised that you are a pure minister of the Han Dynasty, and it will depend on how you deal with it.

Seeing Zhang He's question, Cao Cao took out the map, put it on the table, and said: "Junyi, come and see, Beiqiu is the way Zhang Fei must pass, and my army has set up an ambush here, how about it?" ”

Zhang He looked at the map, the two cities of Beiqiu and Ganling are far away, and in the middle of the two cities, two official roads, one south and one north, converge here. The terrain is very good, but with such a huge army here, can it hide from Zhang Fei?

Thinking so in my heart, I also asked this on my lips. Cao Cao heard this and said with a smile: "He has scouts, don't we have any?" As soon as Cao Cao said this, Zhang He understood. Along the way, Zhang Fei ordered scouts to listen to the news and open the way for the army. But the number of people is definitely not too much, so at most, they only know that there is a large army in Beiqiu and Ganling, and when they and Cao Cao lead the army away, their own scouts are not vegetarians, and when the time comes, they will be isolated from the battlefield news, and they can still know where their army is hiding, that is, it is a hell.

After the two of them finished their calculations, they began to clear the eyes and ears of the spies. Countless teams of scouts scattered out, monitoring every move within a radius of fifty miles. Cao Cao even sent Xu Chu and other generals out, hoping to use their personal bravery to kill Zhang Fei's scouts.

Soon, the sound of fighting sounded in Ganling City and Beiqiu City, and then, on both sides of the official road, the sound of battle also sounded frequently. Cao Cao was not afraid that Zhang Fei would know that there were soldiers and horses in front of him, unless Zhang Fei could really fly over with his men and horses. If he doesn't go to Beiqiu, Zhang Fei can only go north to Dongwu City, then he will be farther and farther away from Qingzhou, and he will enter Jizhou deeper and deeper. But any normal person would not go like this.

Zhang Fei received the battle report from the scout, and his face was solemn, there is Cao Cao's army in Beiqiu and Ganling? Zhang Fei handed the information to Jia Xu, and after Jia Xu read it, he sighed in his heart, what he was most worried about had happened. At the beginning, he insisted on going and annexing the state. In addition to wanting to take and merge the state for Qingzhou, there is a more important reason that if you go to Wei County, it is too close to Cao Cao. Wei County and Qinghe are all connected to Yanzhou, and with such a large army, it is really difficult to hide from Cao Cao. And Gao Gan is much easier to deal with than Cao Cao.

The army stopped, and Zhang Fei invited several military leaders over to inform them of the incident. Duan Xuan asked Zhang Fei: "I don't know what Yide's plans are?" ”

Zhang Fei sat in the middle and said, "What are the plans, just kill the past!" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he laughed: "Yide's words are deeply in line with my wishes!" Zhang Xiu also agreed. They are all battle-hardened, and they are afraid of who will come. Besides, he has so many troops, strong soldiers and strong horses, and he is still afraid of a Cao Cao?

There were only two of them, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, who heard that Cao Cao personally raised the army to block the road in front. The face is difficult to color. One of them was a thief, and he surrendered to the court if he couldn't beat him; One is that his relatives have not led many soldiers to fight. Hearing this, I couldn't help but be afraid. Zhang Fei looked at it and despised it in his heart, but it was hard to say anything. Then he said: "In case of war, I also ask General Duan to sit in the Chinese army with the two generals Yang and Dong to protect His Majesty and hundreds of officials." ”

The Son of Heaven can't afford to lose, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng are probably difficult to rely on, so Zhang Fei simply asked Duan Xuan to protect the Chinese army. In this way, there are himself, Lu Bu, and Zhang Xiu in the front, and Duan Xuan, Yang Feng, and Dong Cheng in the back, so there should be no mistakes.

After Duan Xuan responded, Lu Bu said again: "Our general is Gao Shun, there is a battalion in the trap, the elite is very strong, and it can defend the Chinese army. Zhang Fei listened to it and happily agreed.

The two armies faced each other, and at this time, Jia Xu couldn't help much. It's all about who has a big fist and a hard fist. Zhang Fei led his army all the way to Beiqiu, and when he saw the terrain, he said: "If Cao Cao attacks me, he will be in the middle of the two cities." "A crossroads between the two cities, and the flat terrain next to them, is a good place to fight.

So Zhang Fei ordered the army to camp on the right side of the official road. Then he invited the generals and said: "I don't know where Cao Cao hid his troops, in order to avoid losing the way back, I intend to transfer Beiqiu City first." ”

When the generals heard this, they all answered. They have all fought and killed people, so they naturally know that if they continue to march, not to mention what will happen in front, as soon as the defenders of the two cities of Beiqiu and Ganling come out, they lock the official road to attack the back road, which is a big trouble. At such a long distance, you can't keep the army on guard all the time during the march, and your physical and mental strength is unbearable. In this case, it is better to strike first, no matter where your ambush is, I will attack the city first, and see if you can come out.

When we come out, we will work hard with a knife and a gun; If you don't come out, eat your Shellchu defenders first.

After receiving the news that Zhang Fei was attacking Beiqiu City, Cao Cao smiled helplessly. He left an army near Beiqiu, and on the Ganling side, Zhang He led his headquarters and the garrison of Ganling, and also quietly lay in a place less than a hundred miles away from Beiqiu. And he personally led the army and waited in front of the shell mound. The original plan was to let Zhang Fei's army pass through Beiqiu City, let Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He lead the army to attack Zhang Fei's rear army, and then he sent people to attack Zhang Fei's front army, and then take advantage of the chaos to plunder Luan Jia, and take the opportunity to escape.

Who would have thought that Zhang Fei chose a path that he was most unwilling to. Of course, attacking the city is also in Cao Cao's pre-calculation, but in this way, his side will not be able to take the lead.

Without the initiative on the battlefield, the only option is to fight hard, which is not quite in line with Cao Cao's intentions. However, many things cannot be done on your own will, which is normal. Let's fight first and see if there's a chance.

As soon as Zhang Fei attacked the city, Beiqiu was in a hurry. As soon as Beiqiu was in a hurry, Zhang He naturally couldn't sit still. If he's okay at the boundary bridge, it's too far too late. But if he doesn't save him, when the officials of Ganling join him, he won't be able to argue. No, the commander of Ganling next to him was more anxious than himself, and he was urging him vigorously.

Zhang He couldn't, so he had to immediately reorganize his troops and horses and march towards Beiqiu. As soon as Zhang He moved, Xiahou Yuan couldn't hide. His father-in-law recruited Zhang He, obviously Zhang He hit the stone with an egg, if he didn't come out to help watch Zhang He die, he would not be able to escape the blame.

As soon as Zhang Feifu attacked the city, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the two armies appear. So they set up camp on their backs, and lined up to meet them. Zhang He led the army to the front of the battle and shouted: "Zhang Fei! You invaded my Jizhou for no reason, so that the lives were ruined, my army has arrived, and you don't retreat quickly! ”

Zhang Fei looked up to the sky and laughed: "If you want to fight, you will fight!" Why bother! ”
