Cao Fu didn't want to cross the river to the north first, but there were many soldiers and horses under Zhang Jin's command stationed on the opposite side of the Yellow River, and without Zhang Jin's consent, once the army under his command crossed the river to the north, he would definitely be attacked by Zhang Jin's soldiers and horses, and in order to protect himself, he must lead his soldiers and horses to fight with Zhang Jin's soldiers and horses, so that the two sides became enemies.

And once he and Zhang Jin become enemies, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, they are simply unable to resist the 30,000 army under Zhang Jin's command, and it will be meaningless to cross the river to the north, and it will definitely let the Jin army on the south bank of the Yellow River reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"No, our army is short of soldiers and horses, and without the permission of General Zhang Jin, we must not rush across the river, otherwise, once a misunderstanding is caused, our army will be wiped out." Cao Fu Zhengse said.

When the generals heard this, they all lowered their heads helplessly, and they naturally understood the consequences of causing a misunderstanding.

"General, I'm back." At this moment, he went to Yewang City to meet Zhang Jin's generals, returned to Aocang City, and came to meet Cao Fu as soon as possible.

"How is it, what did General Zhang say?" Seeing that the general had returned, Cao Fu hurriedly asked.

The general looked excited, and said with a straight face: "Returning to the general, General Zhang has agreed to the request of our army, and will let Pinggao and Huai counties on the other side of the Yellow River be stationed with our army, and is willing to share the same hatred with the general to jointly resist the attack of the Jin army." ”

"Okay, it's really good, General Zhang is really righteous." Cao Fu was very happy when he heard this.

When the generals under his command heard this, they were also very happy and had Zhang Jin's promise. They could immediately cross the river north and head north of the Yellow River.

"General, without further ado, our army should immediately cross the river and go to Pinggao and Huaixian." One of the generals immediately asked for help.

Cao Fu nodded, and asked Zhengse: "How many soldiers and horses has been gathered in Aocang, and how many people have not yet arrived?" ”

"General, our army has gathered 15,000 soldiers and horses in Aocang, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses are still on the way here." A subordinate general replied.

Cao Fu hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Don't worry about the remaining five thousand soldiers and horses. The main army immediately crossed the river north and marched north. In addition, the grain and grass and the people of Aocang City were also transported to the north of the Yellow River. ”

"Yes, General." The generals clenched their fists and commanded.

Subsequently. Cao Fu and his main troops. Escort the grain, grass and people. Cross the Yellow River and head to Hanoi.

Because many people are unwilling to leave the south of the Yellow River and leave their hometowns. Therefore, it was inevitable to quarrel with the soldiers under Cao Fu's command, for which many civilians were cut down by the soldiers and thrown into the Yellow River.

At this time, in Xingyang City, the fire that had been burning for a day and a night was finally extinguished, except for the sporadic green smoke, Xingyang City had returned to calm.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jin army lived in harmony with the people in the city and helped the people repair the damaged houses, and Xingyang City began to come to life.

Since he slept very late, it was not until it was close to noon that Hua An got up from his bed and immediately went to inspect the city.

Surrounded by the generals and a team of personal soldiers, Hua An rode his horse and inspected the city of Xingyang.

Looking at the wisps of green smoke floating from the surrounding ruins, Hua An said with a smile: "When I wake up, the fire in Xingyang City is all gone, and there is only this green smoke left, haha!" ”

"Yes! Big brother, the fire in the city has been extinguished in the second half of the night, and when you get up in the early morning, there is no fire in the city. Wang San agreed.

"General, Cao Fu wanted to leave an empty city burned to ashes for our army, but he didn't expect that most of the houses in Xingyang City were rescued by our army, how could Cao Fu's treacherous plan succeed." Zhuge Xiong said loudly.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded, and said: "General Zhuge , if you don't say it, the general has forgotten that Cao Fu's main force has withdrawn to the direction of Aocang City, and it must be that he will soon cross the river to the north." ”

"General, our troops and horses have been rested and can be assembled at any time, do you want to send troops immediately to attack Aocang City?" Zhuge Xiong asked loudly.

Hua An thought for a moment and said softly: "The scouts sent to Aocang City have not returned yet, and when the scouts return to Xingyang City and report the situation in Aocang City, it will not be too late for our army to send troops again." ”

As soon as Hua An's words fell, the scouts sent to Aocang City rode over.

"How's the situation in Okura City?" Hua An recognized the scout and hurriedly asked.

The scout turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "General Hui, early this morning, the main force of the enemy army in Aocang City has begun to cross the river to the north, and the grain, grass and people in the city have also been transported to the north of the Yellow River. ”

"Oh, Cao Fu's movements are fast enough! Before our army could attack, he ran first. Hua An said with a smile.

"Big brother, this kid Cao Fu is going to run, what are our troops waiting for, immediately send troops to Aocang to intercept the enemy army." Wang San said loudly.

"Yes! General, the main cavalry of our army will definitely be able to catch the enemy by surprise when they attack Aocang. Zhuge Xiong also supported the immediate dispatch of troops to attack Aocang.

Hua An nodded, and said: "It's not yet noon, the cavalry raids Aocang, you should be able to catch the tail of the enemy, how many enemies can be annihilated, you immediately go back to gather troops and horses, and prepare to raid Aocang." ”

"Yes, General." The generals shouted their orders and immediately returned to the camp to gather their troops.

Two moments later, the 20,000 main cavalry under the command of Wang San and Zhuge Xiong were assembled outside the north gate of Xingyang City, and they could quickly kill Ao Cang City with only an order from Hua'an.

"Big brother, the main cavalry has been assembled and is ready to go." Wang San Zhengse reminded.

Hua An looked at the 20,000 main cavalry that had been assembled, nodded, and ordered: "Go, raid Aocang City, drive the ......" After speaking, he rode his horse and galloped in the direction of Aocang City.

The main force of 20,000 cavalry under his command followed behind Hua'an and rode his horse in the direction of Aocang City.

Because the soldiers and horses under the command of Cao Fu have begun to flee, for this reason, in order to annihilate some more enemies and capture more grain and grass materials, the soldiers rushed to Aocang City at the fastest speed.

Xingyang City is less than thirty miles away from Aocang City, and with the speed of a cavalry raid, within an hour, it is completely possible to reach the city of Aocang and immediately attack.

However, Cao Fu had already laid an ambush in Xingyang City, and when the main cavalry under Hua'an had just begun to assemble, Cao Fu's eyeline adopted the method of flying pigeons to pass the book, and reported to Cao Fu the news that the main cavalry of the 20,000 Jin army was about to raid Aocang.

When Cao Fu learned of this situation, he was naturally very nervous, and immediately ordered to abandon the people of Aocang City and speed up the transportation of his soldiers and grain and grass to the north bank of the Yellow River, so that when the Jin army arrived at Aocang City, his army would not suffer great losses.

But Cao Fu knew that the main cavalry of the Jin army only needed an hour to run to the city of Aocang, even if a large number of ordinary people were abandoned, it was still difficult to transport a large number of grain, grass and soldiers to the north bank of the Yellow River within an hour, so he ordered a small number of soldiers to drive away the tens of thousands of people gathered in Aocang City, so that these people could carry their luggage to the direction of Xingyang City, so as to block the road from Xingyang City to Aocang, making it difficult for the Jin cavalry to gallop, so as to win more time for the retreat of their army.

In the process of driving away the common people, when they encountered the people who resisted and disobeyed, Cao Fu's subordinates unceremoniously slashed these rebellious subordinates to deter more people, so that these unarmed people could block the main cavalry under Hua'an.

Hua An led the main cavalry under his command to run towards Ao Cang City at the best speed, and it only took half an hour to arrive at a position less than ten miles away from Ao Cang City, but a large number of people and horses suddenly appeared on the road ahead, which made Hua An a little surprised.

Although the distance is very far, Hua An can judge from experience that the people in front of him are ordinary people, not the army, and so many people appear on the road ahead, which makes Hua An feel very strange.

"Big brother, the black pressure on the road ahead seems to be all ordinary people!" Wang San was also very surprised.

"General, so many people appear on the path of our army, this must be the trick of Cao Fu, the evil thief." Zhuge Xiong guessed loudly.

When Hua An heard this, he suddenly realized, paused, and ordered: "Send an order to the whole army, slow down and advance." ”

The reason why Hua'an slowed down the army under his command was to prevent the cavalry from being too fast and injuring the people on the road ahead, thus making himself lose the hearts of the people.

Under Hua'an's order, the main force of the 20,000 Jin army began to slow down and slowly rush forward.

Seeing the main cavalry of the Jin army rushing, the enemy soldiers who were responsible for driving away the people immediately turned around and withdrew in the direction of the ferry, and the tens of thousands of people who blocked the road did not know much about the Jin army, and some followed the enemy soldiers to flee in the direction of the ferry, but more soldiers were already very tired, especially the old and weak women and children, who could not run, besides, the main force of the Jin army was obviously all cavalry, if the Jin army intended to chase and kill, they would not be able to escape at all.

Hua An rode his horse slowly in front of the people, stretched out his right hand and asked his soldiers and horses to stop advancing immediately.

Looking at the helpless people in front of him, Hua An sighed helplessly.

At this time, tens of thousands of innocent people had completely blocked the road to Aocang, and if Hua'an and his main soldiers and horses wanted to get through the road, they had to step on the people.

Of course, it would be best if the common people could take the initiative to get out of the way, but the common people are not an army and have not undergone a certain amount of training, and there are a lot of old people and children, so it is impossible to give up a road that is enough to lead to the main cavalry, and the main army under his command will not be able to quickly pass the road and surprise the enemy's soldiers and horses.

"Big brother, this Cao Fu is really despicable, he actually let these unarmed people come to stop our army." Wang San said helplessly. (To be continued......)
