Ma Chao captured Ma Xian, Pang De took Ma Jin and Zhu Jing, of which Ma Xian and Ma Jin were surrendered by Ma Chao because of their surname Ma, and Zhu Jing was sent to Cao Cao as a war merit.

That Cao Cao had also seen the majesty of Sun An and others, and several fierce generals were killed, so Corporal Lixian personally surrendered. Then the four generals of Yumei, Zhu Jing, Sun An, and Mei Yu were in the bag.

Cao Cao defeated the combined forces of Wang Qing and Tian Hu, and then joined forces with Ma Chao to attack Luoyang City.

There are forces in Luoyang that Xun Yu has run, and the news is reported, and Ma Chao led the troops to break through Luoyang, defeated the Tian Hu army again, and pursued by victory.

That Wang Qing and Tian Hu were really defeated, and they couldn't stop the Cao-Ma coalition army from being driven out of Hanoi County directly.

Tian Hu was very embarrassed, and retreated to Hedong County with the remnants of the defeated army. However, under the leadership of Ma Chao and Xu Chu, Hedong County was also taken away, so they had to flee again, this time even the people and horses simply fled back to Bingzhou.

Cao Cao was going to attack the annexed states in one go, but Ma Teng and Han Sui ordered Ma Chao to stop his troops, as if they wanted to take the opportunity to expand their territory and limit Cao Cao's strength from expanding too quickly.

Ma Chao's troops occupied Chang'an City, and the soldiers directly controlled the Sanfu area.

This alliance is unreliable, although it is an enemy and a knife in the back.

On the one hand, Cao Cao's army was pressing, and the force was dangerous, and on the other hand, he sent Xun You out again, and persuaded Ma Teng and Han Sui to withdraw from Chang'an with his incorruptible tongue, and Ma Chao also led his troops back to Liangzhou.

Chang'an and Luoyang fell back into Cao Cao's hands, and this time Cao Cao also defeated Wang Qing and took the opportunity to annex Hanoi County.

Cao Cao was the general of the expedition to the west, Han Sui was the general of the expedition to the south, and Ma Chao was the general of the expedition to the south, in order to appease the warlords of Liangzhou.

Cao Cao's series of actions also raised other questions.

After Hanoi was taken by Cao Cao, its power expanded further to the north. And the key point is that Cao Cao's forces crossed the Yellow River and approached Yuan Shao's old nest Yecheng, which seriously threatened Yuan Shao's security geographically.

Cao Cao sent Xun You to personally sit in Chang'an, and Xiahou Yuan led Hanoi County, because of the lack of grain and grass, Ma Chao withdrew his troops again, so he collected his troops and planned to meet Xu Du.

It's just that after Cao Cao annexed Hanoi County, Luo Gan's spies received information in time, hyped it up, and spread rumors. said that Cao Cao would take the opportunity to attack Yecheng and unite with Luo Gan to eliminate Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Jun could not even return to his hometown.

These rumors still played a certain role, making the hearts of the people in Yuan Jun fluctuate, and it took Yuan Shao a lot of effort to suppress it.

After learning that Cao Cao defeated Tian Hu and Wang Qing and annexed Hanoi County, Yuan Shao was indeed worried about whether Cao Cao would attack Yecheng. This is also normal, it is not far from Hanoi to attack Ye City. Previously, Yuan Shao sent troops and horses to deploy defenses in the south, but now that Cao Cao has occupied Hanoi County, he has crossed the Yellow River, and he can attack Yecheng from the west, and the defense in the west is weak.

"What do you think I should do? Do you want to lead the troops back to defend Cao Cao? Or ignore it and continue to use troops against Luo Gan? Yuan Shao was a little undecided, and only hoped that his advisers would come up with ideas.

Tian Feng nagged: "My lord, I didn't approve of sending troops at the beginning. Nowadays, when there are many troops, a lot of grain and grass are consumed, and it is difficult to defeat the stubborn enemy. It is better to collect troops, stabilize Jizhou, digest Youzhou, recover and merge the state, and seize Qingzhou in the south, which is the best policy. Lord, withdraw your troops. ”

Fu Zhu also nodded and agreed: "Cao Cao is pressing the realm, I have to guard against it, now Tian Hu's vitality is greatly injured, it is a good time for the lord to send troops to recapture the state, please retreat." ”

Feng Ji's opinion was the opposite, but he urged: "Our army has been sending troops for a long time, how can we return empty-handed, it is better to send troops to fight Luo Gan." Cao Cao just defeated Tian Hu, and he didn't come to attack Jizhou, so there is no need to be nervous, there is still a big prince in Yecheng. ”

The judge also supported: "Luo Gan may think that our army will not send troops, but our army will do the opposite, and may be able to break the Luo army." After Luo Gan is destroyed, he can send troops south to clean up Cao Cao, and there should be a priority in this matter. ”

started arguing again, Yuan Shao had a headache, and once again set his eyes on his old friend Xu You

Xu You synthesized everyone's opinions and proposed: "Lord, that Cao Cao is treacherous, and you must not guard against it. In order to deal with Luo Gan, our army has been consumed for a long time, and it is necessary to take it. I thought that I could take advantage of the situation, and the lord pretended to lead his troops to the west to deal with Cao Cao, leading Luo Gan to attack, and our army took the opportunity to set up an ambush to annihilate Luo Gan's army in one fell swoop. ”

Tian Feng sneered: "Haha, if Luo Gan doesn't take the bait and doesn't move, wouldn't the lord be doing useless work?" ”

Xu Yu twisted his short beard and said confidently: "How can I not predict it? Thou hast many worries. Jibei Kingdom and Dongping Kingdom are in the hands of our army, once our army retreats, how can Luo Gan not take the opportunity to recapture the two countries? ”

Yuan Shaojun had captured Jibei, Dongping, Lu and most of the Rencheng countries, and now Wenchou was killed in battle, and Lu has been recovered by Lu Zhishen. Shi Wengong and other leading troops insisted on Rencheng and confronted Xin Congzhong, but Jibei and Dongping were still in the hands of Yuan Shao, and Luo Gan would not give up.

"Good! According to Ziyuan's plan, lure Luo Gan, Yan Liang, Yan Shude, and Zhang Kai to prepare! Yuan Shao made up his mind, but he simply ordered the army to start moving.

After Luo Gan killed Wen Chou, UU read the book .com led the troops north, and was also planning to lead the army to counterattack, seeing that the rumors worked, Yuan Shao retreated, and just led the troops to pursue, and he was caught off guard.

Chen Gong stopped Luo Gan, and he saw some clues about Yuan Jun: "Lord, and don't be anxious, Yuan Jun seems to be retreating, but in fact it contains murderous intentions, I am afraid that he has been caught and is waiting for the lord to enter the net." ”

It is also possible that the art of war is false and real, true and false.

"How does the public station know? What can I do? Luo Gan asked.

"Yuan Shao has a good face, and the teacher is moving to come, if he returns without a big victory, he is unwilling. Besides, Cao Cao may not dare to attack Yecheng at this time, I think it should be a strategy to lure the enemy. Why don't you plan and chase with some soldiers and horses, and lead the enemy into our army to ambush and kill him! Chen Gong smiled with a murderous aura, and it seemed that he was already very unhappy with Yuan Shao's attack.

Just as Luo Gan was weighing the pros and cons, the relevant Sheng henchmen came to see him and secretly reported to Yuan Shao's grain land, and the Qinglong Army was planning to storm and burn all Yuan Shao's grain and grass, hoping that Luo Gan could attract Yuan Shaojun's attention head-on, lest Yuan Shao send troops to rescue.

Speaking of which, the Qinglong Army led by Guan Sheng began to go around in a big circle from the north to Yuan Shao's back a long time ago, and after waiting for so long without moving, he just wanted to give Yuan Shao a fatal blow, and now he has finally determined the place where Yuan Shao's army will store grain, so he plans to do a big deal.

After confirming that the information was correct, Luo Gan adopted Chen Gong's suggestion: "This plan can be done!" The order was given, Wu Yanguang led the people of the headquarters to pursue Yuan Shao with my Daxu, and asked him to be cautious, not to be careless, regardless of the victory or defeat, as long as he led the enemy to come, he would be counted as a merit. Ordered Uncle Zhang and the Seed Master Dao to lead the headquarters to set up ambushes left and right, and I personally led the rest of the soldiers and horses, and the victory or defeat was in one fell swoop! ”

"No!"

The troops and horses of both sides were mobilized, and the decisive battle was about to break out.
