Cao Cao hesitated, took Yuan Shao's letter and looked at it again, and said, "Let me ask you, if you are Li Yi, after surrounding me and Yuan Shao, which one do you fight first?" ”

"Hit Yuan Shao. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Man Zhong immediately said, "The battle of Dongguang, Li Yi has already won, and the strength of our three alliances has been hit hard, so without completely annihilating Yuan Shao, if he still concentrates on fighting us, he will not be Li Yi." Now Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are far more threatening to him than our three alliances, as well as Liu Biao. If Li Yi eliminated Liu Biao in Hebei, it would be equivalent to giving Jingzhou to Yuan Shao for nothing, and Yuan Shao's strength would swell dramatically in a short period of time. Li Yi would never do such a stupid thing unless he was a real idiot. ”

Manzhong's hand pointed to Gu Longju between Fagancheng and Yuancheng, and said with great certainty: "When breaking through, let Liu Biao's army rush to the front, and after the Northern Xinjiang Army sees it, there must be no way at all, so I can only let them go." As long as the encirclement of the Northern Frontier Army is loosened, we will be able to successfully kill it. ”

"If I were Li Yi, I would fight both, take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to annihilate all opponents, and then sweep the world within a year or two." Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, and his words were amazing.

"Both?" Cao Cao's face was shocked, "Does the Northern Xinjiang Army have so many troops?" ”

"He can surround us first, and then concentrate on fighting Yuan Shao. After beating Yuan Shao, he came back to beat us. Xi Zhicai put one hand between Wei Cheng and Fanyang, and the other hand between Guantao and Wei Cheng, and continued, "The distance between these two battlefields is only more than two hundred miles, and the infantry and cavalry army of the Northern Xinjiang Army can complete the movement in one or two days, which is too dangerous for us, we must go first, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Mao Jue originally supported Man's opinion, but after hearing Xi Zhicai's explanation, he was also very frightened. He said to Cao Cao: "My lord, the Northern Frontier Army in the Battle of Dongguang was fought too easily, and the 100,000 army was gone in a blink of an eye, which may make Li Yi re-examine his strength, and it is very likely that he will make such an astonishing move." ”

"But now the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army has not yet entered Wei County, that's for sure." Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "If we want to hit Yuan Shao hard, we will drag Yuan Shao in Weicheng, so I think what Bo Ning said is right, it is better to wait a little longer, and we will withdraw after the Northern Xinjiang Army surrounds Yuan Shao." ”

Xi Zhicai said excitedly: "Lord, why are we sure that Yuan Shao will definitely come to Weicheng to meet us?" Just rely on Yuan Shao's letter? If Yuan Shao saw that he was surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the army was about to fall into encirclement, could he not run? ”

"Also, if Yuan Shu hasn't succeeded in Yanzhou, Yuan Shao will not meet us when he arrives in Weicheng, but intends to drag us down and let the Northern Xinjiang Army encircle and annihilate us. Our army is completely annihilated, and Yuan Shao can take the opportunity to defeat Yuan Shu and take Yanzhou, which is an obvious thing. ”

"So, no matter what Yuan Shao wants to do, let's go first. Now that the iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army has arrived at the front line of Guantao and Weicheng, and Yuan Shao is also retreating to the area of Weicheng, they are about to fight, our goal has been achieved, what are we doing here? ”

Cao Cao thought about it for a long time, and finally rejected Xi Zhicai's suggestion.

The strength of the three alliances has already suffered a heavy blow, if Yuan Shao is not allowed to suffer the same heavy blow, after returning to the Central Plains, he will inevitably be restrained by Yuan Shao, even if he successfully occupies Qingzhou and defeats Yuan Shu, it will be difficult to fight against Yuan Shao.

At present, on the battlefield of Wei County, the Northern Xinjiang Army only has Zhang Fei's army and the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry that has appeared in Guantao, and there is no advantage in terms of strength.

In addition, if he retreats too early, once he is blocked by the Northern Xinjiang Army, it is very likely that the whole army will be annihilated. After all, fighting a war is not about sitting at home and talking about troops, and Li Yi's orders cannot be transmitted to the generals of all walks of life in an instant. With only a slight change in the situation on the battlefield, the Northern Xinjiang Army may have eaten itself.

If the Northern Xinjiang Army surrounded Yuan Shao, and Li Yi's intentions were accurately conveyed to the generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army, then his certainty of breaking through would be far greater than now.

In any case, it is impossible for Li Yi to annihilate himself before he completely annihilates Yuan Shao, this is determined by the situation in the world, and it is impossible for Li Yi to turn a blind eye.

When the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army was encircling and annihilating Yuan Shao, the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army that surrounded him must be limited, and he could completely fight his way out of the encirclement. At that time, the Northern Xinjiang Army had no choice but to concentrate all its forces to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shao.

After all, there is a certain gap between his strength and Yuan Shao, and after breaking through, he will compete with Yuan Shu for the Central Plains, and with the defeat of Yuan Shao, Guandong, Yuzhou and even Jingzhou will become their own bags one after another, but this takes time, and Li Yi is interested in this, thinking that Hebei also has the opportunity to use this time to take Guanzhong, Kanto and even the Central Plains. So he will definitely let himself go and do his best to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao decided to continue the attack in the direction of Wei City.

………………

In early September, Dong County, Fan County.

Cheng Yu led more than 5,000 people to retreat to Fan County, and Xiahou Yuan, who got the news, led his army to join him.

Xiahou Yuan's face was ugly. The loss of Dingtao is not a big deal, but the loss of the Son of Heaven is a big deal, but before Xiahou Yuan could blame Cheng Yu, he found that the young Son of Heaven in a military uniform was standing beside Cheng Yu.

Xiahou Yuan was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly greeted the Son of Heaven. Then he happily said to Cheng Yu: "Brother Zhongde, Yuan Highway saw that what he caught was a fake genius, and he was probably so angry that he vomited blood." ”

"Don't be that rebellious in front of me, he's dead." Cheng Yu sneered, "Let's immediately cross the river north and go to Dongwuyang." ”

Xiahou Yuan was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Brother Zhongde, we still have half of Yanzhou, why do we want to go north?" ”

"The lord sent me a letter before retreating from Xindu." Cheng Yu took out a piece of silk silk from his arms and handed it to Xiahou Yuan, and then said, "Even if no one betrays me, I will abandon Dingtao City." ”

After reading the letter, Xiahou Yuan arched his hand and said, "Everything is subject to Zhongde's arrangement. ”

"That's a good ......" Cheng Yu took the letter into his arms, and the Peng family standing behind him immediately spread out the map, Cheng Yu looked at the map and said, "Now we are in Fan County, two hundred miles away from Dongwuyang, can you lead the army to Dongwuyang in two days?" ”

Xiahou Yuan frowned, and said with some hesitation: "I'll try my best to ......"

"It's not an effort, it's a must." Cheng Yu said solemnly, "Two days later, you must reach Dongwuyang, and then travel sixty miles in a hurry, occupy Fagan City, garrison Gulongju with heavy troops, and take the lord to withdraw to the Central Plains." ”

"Brother Zhongde, it will take a while for an army of more than 10,000 people to cross the river." Xiahou Yuan said with a difficult face.

"It hasn't rained in the Central Plains for nine months, how wide is the Yellow River?" Cheng Yu waved his hand vigorously and said categorically, "You immediately lead the army to set off, and I will supervise the transportation of grain and grass for you." ”

………………

In early September, Daliuxu.

Cao Cao concentrated 30,000 horses and hurried to Daliuxu.

Although Zhang He and Yan Rou tried to storm the enemy formation several times and delay the advance of the rebels, they could only retreat step by step in the face of the rebels' iron bucket-like defense and dense arrow formation.

Li Zhong's army was arrayed two miles in front of Daliuxu. There were two rivers and three hills, and it was within a radius of two miles that the 8,000-strong army fought a bloody battle with the rebels.

Tun Chang Li Wei didn't know what the river was called, but he knew that the river was now full of corpses, hundreds of corpses lying on the riverbed more than a dozen steps wide, waist-deep water had been dyed scarlet blood. The enemy on the other side is trampling on the corpses, rushing madly.

Levi stared at the blood-red eyes, raised the bloody war knife in his hand, and yelled: "Shoot, shoot me......"

Due to the increase in casualties, the power of the arrow array was greatly reduced, and the enemy quickly reached the river embankment.

Li Weifei jumped up, raised a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and shouted repeatedly: "Brothers, kill it, kill it......

"Kill ......" dozens of soldiers with weapons in their hands, followed closely behind Levi, and rushed forward to meet the enemy.

For a moment, swords flew, spears roared, stray arrows flew up and down, and severed limbs and stumps resounded through the bloody battlefield with a terrible howl.

A human head rose from under Levi's knife, and the headless corpse was knocked upside down by the bloody shield in Levi's hand, and then Levi saw a long knife that roared into the air.

The long knife is like a rainbow, bringing up the sky full of blood beads and slashing head-on.

"Kill ......" Levi was not afraid, raised his knife to block, and at the same time the round shield in his left hand slashed fiercely at the enemy's waist and abdomen.

"When the ......" sounded, sparks overflowed, Li Wei's mouth shook violently, and the war knife flew out of his hand. The long knife was castrated, and slashed hard at the round shield, and the shield was torn apart.

Levi didn't even think about it, his feet were forced, and his body flew upside down, dodging the fatal blow.

At the moment when his body flew in the air, Levi saw a tall man, the man's face was very dark, like a black charcoal head, and he also had a beard, and he also had a pair of murderous eyes.

The black-faced bearded man took a quick step, and the long knife rose again.

At this time, several soldiers around Levi rushed up together.

The black-faced bearded man roared angrily, turned his long knife, smashed the spear that came from him, pulled out two long arrows, and was about to slash again, but saw that Levi had already grabbed a spear that had been discarded on the ground, stabbed him viciously in the abdomen, and yelled in his mouth: "Die......"

The black-faced bearded man was extremely extraordinary, and he took two steps back at an unbelievable speed, dodging Levi's sneak attack.

More soldiers rushed forward, and some raised their crossbows and fired their arrows.

At the same time, more than a dozen thugs rushed up from behind the black-faced bearded man, shouting: "Protect the general, protect the general's ......" (to be continued. )
