"Sending troops to Liaodong made it impossible for Cao Cao to unify the north!" Facing Liu Wei, Tian Feng said to him: "If Guandu fights and Yuan Gong is really defeated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely go all the way to the north to pacify Wuhuan and Liaodong, and then turn south, His Royal Highness will be trapped in Qindi and unable to get out!" ”

The north is a bitter cold land, and he never thought that if Cao Cao occupied the north, the shape would be so grim Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, looked at Tian Feng, and did not speak.

"It is difficult for the Qin army to advance eastward, and the army of Duke Yuan and Cao Cao are facing each other in the area of Guandu, and Liu Bei's defection must have dampened the morale of the army of Duke Yuan!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Tian Feng said to Liu Wei: "Now the horse thieves in the Hedong area, if they are expected by the ministers, they must be sent by Cao Cao, in order to lead His Highness's mind to Liaodong!" ”

"If it weren't for Yuan Hao, this king would have almost missed a big thing!" With a slap on the head, Liu Wei said to Tian Feng: "That is the case, this king will send troops to Liaodong!" ”

"No!" Liu Wei was about to call the guards outside the house, but Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Gongsun Du of Liaodong is quite different from Duke Yuan, Gongsun Du occupies Liaodong, and it was sent to the bitter cold land back then. After several years of operation, Liaodong has improved, and His Royal Highness's army has gone, and it is difficult to ensure that Gongsun Du has nothing to think about. ”

Since defeating Gongsun Zhan, Liu Wei has long included Gongsun Du in the alliance.

Hearing Tian Feng say this, his brows furrowed, and he asked Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao's meaning, could it be that Gongsun Du may assist Cao Cao in the future?" ”

Nodding, Tian Feng said: "If Your Highness raises troops, you should avoid Liaodong and go straight to Wuhuan." The king of Wuhuan has taken the right to inherit his brother Lou Ban, and he has always been worried about the instability of Wuhuan, so His Royal Highness sent troops to go, as long as he needs to assist and stabilize Wuhuan, he will definitely not embarrass the Qin army! ”

Looking at Tian Feng, after a long while, Liu Wei nodded and said, "Just according to Yuan Hao's words!" ”

"Someone!" As he spoke, Liu Wei turned his head and called out of the house.

One of the guards strode into the room and stood in the doorway with his fists clenched.

Turning his head to look at the guard, Liu Wei thought for a moment, and then said to him: "Go and call Zhou Cang!" ”

"No!" The guard answered, turned and left the room.

Zhou Cang, who followed Liu Wei at the earliest, has not had any opportunity to go out since the Qin army grew stronger, and now the Qin army has more generals deployed outside, although Zhao Yun and Deng Zhan are in Luoyang City, but the two of them are shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending Luoyang.

As for Dian Wei, he didn't have anything to do with many expeditions in a row, so he should have been bored a long time ago.

However, Liu Wei was still reluctant to let Dian Wei go out too early, and he also took on the responsibility of training elephant soldiers.

Although the war elephants have grown up a lot, they are not yet fully adults, and even if they go to the battlefield, they will not be able to play their maximum effect.

There were not enough fierce generals under his command, and Liu Wei's only choice was to hand over this army to Wuhuan to be led by Zhou Cang.

Soon after the guards who received the order left, Zhou Cang, who was wearing armor, hurried to Tian Feng and Fu Zhi's residence.

Standing outside the house, Zhou Cang clenched his fists and bowed down, and said to Liu Wei in the house: "Your Highness, the last general has been summoned to come!" ”

was talking to Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and heard Zhou Cang talking outside the house, Liu Wei turned his head and beckoned to him, and said with a smile: "This king has been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up and talk!" ”

Clenched his fists and bowed, thanking Liu Wei, Zhou Cang strode into the house.

"This king intends to send troops to Wuhuan, I wonder if you are willing to lead the army?" As soon as Zhou Cang entered the house, he stood still, Liu Wei asked him, and when Liu Wei asked like this, Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Back then, Liu Wei led the army to fight with Dong Zhuo, and Zhou Cang also made great contributions.

After Liu Wei occupied Luoyang and the Qin army gradually grew, he had a lot fewer opportunities to go on the expedition, and he had the opportunity to lead the army, but he was unwilling.

Zhou Cang was willing to lead the army to Wuhuan, Liu Wei nodded, and said to him with a smile: "This king will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Keri will set off!" ”

"But you want to crusade against Wu Huan?" Liu Wei didn't explain what he meant by going to Wuhuan, so Zhou Cang hurriedly asked.

After glancing at each other with Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, Liu Wei smiled and said to Zhou Cang: "When our army was crusading against Humility, Tan Dun sent troops and horses to help, how to defeat it?" ”

When it came to leading the army to go on the expedition, Zhou Cang's first reaction was to fight, and when he heard Liu Wei say this, he suddenly felt a little dazed.

is not a crusade against Wuhuan, so what is the reason for leading the army to Wuhuan?

Seeing Zhou Cang's confused face, Liu Wei said to him: "Leading the army to Wuhuan is not a crusade, but a coordinated attack to defend Wuhuan!" ”

Guarding and going on an expedition are completely different concepts, and when he learned that he went to Wuhuan just to defend it, Zhou Cang instantly felt a little lost.

The army of 20,000 is really a lot of people, but there is no battle to fight after the expedition, and Zhou Cang can't understand the meaning of leading the army to Wuhuan.

Although his heart was full of doubts, Zhou Cang didn't dare to ask.

Seeing that Zhou Cang's expression was still puzzled, Liu Wei said to him: "Yuan Cao is now at war, if Yuan Shao wins, it will be fine, if Yuan Shao is not victorious, Cao Cao will definitely take advantage of the situation to go north." Wuhuan is located in the north, once Cao Cao pacified Wuhuan, Daqin was surrounded by Cao Cao's rule. There is no way to trade, it is difficult to buy war horses, and there is no iron to build weapons, and it will not take long for my Daqin soldiers to fall into the dilemma of no food, no money, and no weapons! Assist in stabilizing Dìng Wuhuan, Cao Jun will face the attack when he arrives, and it is precisely for me that Daqin has left a portal in the north! ”

Liu Wei's words, Zhou Cang listened to it, and he still felt a little foggy, but he also faintly felt some truth.

Knowing what he was going to Wuhuan for, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions, Zhou Cang clenched his fists and bowed, and said to Liu Wei: "The last general knows!" ”

Nodding to Zhou Cang, after he left, Liu Wei stood up and said to Tian Feng and Fu Zhu: "Talking with the two, this king is vision has suddenly opened, one day, this king will invite the two into the palace!" ”

Knowing that Liu Wei was leaving, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi stood up at the same time after Liu Wei got up, and bowed to him with their fists in unison.

When Liu Wei said that one day he would invite them into the palace, they all had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts.

Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Cao Cao, and Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were very unoptimistic about Yuan's victory.

Liu Wei was able to say such a thing, I am afraid that it was also the result of expecting Yuan Jun to fail.

When Liu Wei was sent out of the house, the two returned to the courtyard, glanced at each other, shook their heads, and sighed softly.

Yuan Shao wanted to kill them, so that Xu Shu entered Yecheng and begged them from Yuan Shao to Luoyang.

If it weren't for Xu Shu, even if they would still be alive at this time, they would definitely be killed by Yuan Shao when the war was over.

Liu Wei made the decision to stabilize Xuanyuan Pass and send troops to Wuhuan at the same time, and Yuan Shao's army also advanced to Guandu.

As soon as he arrived at Guandu, he saw Yuan Jun confronting Cao Jun from a distance across a high wall that had only been built for a long time, and Yuan Shao's brows were twisted.

ordered Zhang He to lead the army to Guandu, in order to start a war with Yuan's army first, but Zhang He did not do what Yuan Shao intended, but instead built a high wall and put on a defensive posture.

The army was much larger than Cao's army, and Yuan Shao did not think it was necessary to confront Cao's army.

"Call Zhang He!" Seeing the high wall from afar, Yuan Shao restrained his horse and gave an order to the soldiers on the side.

Hearing Yuan Shao's order, a personal soldier answered, and rode a war horse to Zhang He's military camp quickly.

When Yuan Shao's army came to Guandu, Zhang He had already received the news and was already waiting outside the barracks to greet him.

Seeing Yuan Shao's army stop from afar, Zhang He, who was originally going to come forward to greet him, was a little out of ideas.

The army advanced to Guandu, which was nothing more than to fight with the Cao army, but Yuan Shao stopped the march of the army when he was about to come to the front, and Zhang He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Looking at the army, Zhang He soon found that a fast horse rushed out of Yuan Shao's army.

Yuan Shao's personal soldiers, who were riding on horseback, vigorously clamped the horse's belly between their legs, and rushed towards Zhang He.

When he arrived outside Zhang He's military camp, the soldier recognized him at a glance and hurriedly rode towards him.

Pressing the long sword on his waist and looking at his original soldiers, the feeling of uneasiness in Zhang He's heart became much stronger.

"General Zhang!" When Zhang He approached, his soldiers reined in their horses and shouted to him: "Duke Yuan has an order, please go and meet the general!" ”

Zhang He, who was already a little uneasy in his heart, was stunned for a moment when he heard the shouts of his own soldiers, and he didn't dare to disobey Yuan Shao's order, so he had to say to the pro-soldiers: "Annoyance leads the way!" ”

hugged his fist and arched to Zhang He, and his own soldiers withdrew the war horse to the side, and the soldiers who followed Zhang He brought the war horse for him.

Turning over and stepping on horseback, Zhang He glanced back at the barracks, and took a deep breath to adjust the strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Glancing at the personal soldiers sent by Yuan Shao, Zhang He shook the reins and ran towards the army that stopped marching in the distance.

With the personal soldiers sent by Yuan Shao, one after the other, he rode his horse and ran towards the army, and when Zhang He arrived only twenty or thirty steps away from the army, he was more and more nervous in his heart.

At this distance, Yuan Shao's face can already be seen.

Yuan Shao's face was pale, and when he looked at Zhang He, his face was full of anger that he couldn't hide.

When the horse arrived five or six steps away from Yuan Shao, Zhang He turned over and jumped off the horse, ran quickly in front of Yuan Shao, hugged his fists and bowed, and saluted Yuan Shao: "The last general has seen Yuan Gong!" ”

"Jun Yi led the army and Cao Jun to fight day after day, how hard it was!" Riding on horseback, Yuan Shao said to Zhang He in a strange manner: "How do you want to reward you?" ”

Zhang He has led the army for many years, how can he not hear the meaning of Yuan Shao's words, he clasped his fists with both hands, hurriedly bowed down, and said to Yuan Shao: "The last general led the army to come, although there were many small battles with the Cao army, but there was no full-scale war!" ”
