After Ma Chao received a report that Sun Ce's troops were approaching Niu Confusion in Shicheng, he immediately ignored Tian Feng's opposition and led the main force to Niu Confusion to fight Sun Ce in a decisive battle, while Zhang He led 30,000 foot soldiers to stay in Shicheng with Tian Feng.

Two days later, Ma Chao led the main force to arrive in Niufu, and at this time, the last main force of the Wu army led by Sun Ce was about to arrive in Niufu.

Ma Chao was very excited, and left the Fourth Legion, which was mainly a foot soldier, in Niufu City, while he led the Wuhuan Legion out of the city and went straight to Sun Ce's army.

About half an hour later, the Wuhuan army led by Ma Chao stopped the Wu army in a hilly terrain, Ma Chao immediately launched an attack, and the 50,000 Wuhuan cavalry was divided into three assault groups, and rushed to the Wu army from the left, center and right directions at the same time.

Wu Jun panicked and fled in all directions, without the slightest intention of resisting, Ma Chao, who was in the lead, couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but at this time he didn't bother to think about it a lot, and still rushed towards Wu Jun with his blade.

The torrent of iron cavalry swept the panicked Wu army into it, and the Wu army had no power to fight back, and the battle lasted only a few moments before it ended, and this Wu army was basically wiped out.

After the battle, Ma Chao walked around the battlefield with a spear, his brows furrowed tightly, this Wu army was not the main force of the Wu army led by Sun Ce at all!

Although the final statistics have not yet come out, it is preliminarily estimated that the strength of this Wu army is less than 20,000 at most, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled who do not have much combat effectiveness!

"General, we have captured the leading general of the Wu army!" A subordinate general escorted a very embarrassed general of the Wu army to Ma Chaoqian to report.

Ma Chao came to the general of the Wu army and asked in a deep voice: "Say, where did that kid run away?" ”

This general of the Wu army was also very angry. The first deviation ignored Ma Chao at all, which made Ma Chao angry. A whip flicked over, and there was a crisp sound when he landed. A bloody mark appeared on the face of this Wu army general.

The corners of the Wu general's mouth twitched, but he was still not afraid, and said toughly: "If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to scrape, you will scrape!" What's wordy? ”

Ma Chao was carried away by the rage, and suddenly pulled out the barrier knife and cut off the head of this very backbone Wu army general.

Ma Chao put the knife back into the sheath, and ordered the general: "There are scouts in the police, search on all sides,!" Ben Jiang didn't believe that he couldn't find Sun Ce! ”

However, until the evening of the same day, Ma Chao's scouts did not find any clues of Wu Jun. Ma Chao couldn't help but feel that something might be wrong, and immediately passed the situation to Zhang Liao and Cao Cao.

At this time, Zhang Liao was under the city of Hushu, and Cao Cao led the main forces of the Second Army and the Fifth Army to march to Wu County, but at this time, the most prosperous area in Jiangdong was Wu County in addition to Jianye, not only because Sun Jian's family was from Wu County, but also because Xiang Yu, the famous overlord of Western Chu hundreds of years ago, was Wu County who led 8,000 Wu County children to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

When Cao Cao received Zhang Feifei's message. It was the morning of the next day when the army was preparing to march, and after Cao Cao read the biography, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately called Guo Jia, who went out with the army.

Cao Cao handed the handbook to Guo Jia. frowned and said, "Fengxiao, you say, what tricks is this Sun Ce playing?" ”

After Guo Jia read the biography. Quite surprised, he said: "I didn't expect this Sun Ce to use the golden cicada shelling scheme!" ”

Cao Cao walked to the sand table in the middle of the big tent, looked at the terrain on the sand table and muttered, "What does this little overlord want to do?" What can he do? ”

Then. Xu Chu lifted the curtain and came in and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the army has been assembled." It's ready to be unplugged! ”

Cao Cao didn't raise his head and said, "You go and tell Yuan Rang, wait a while!" ”

Xu Chu promised and left.

"Bonghyo, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia thought for a moment, pointed to the place where Ma Chao and the decoy army fought yesterday to the west of Niu and said: "We broke through Sun Jian's Chibi battalion to press Hushu three days ago, although our troops cut off their flying pigeon communication, but they will definitely use fast horse communication at the same time in this emergency situation to ensure that nothing goes wrong, according to the time, Sun Ce should have received the report of Hushu Danger as soon as yesterday morning!" And the time when General Meng Qi confronted the enemy was yesterday at noon, in other words, yesterday morning, Sun Ce returned half a day's journey away from the place where General Meng Qi and the suspected soldiers fought! ”

Guo Jia's finger swiped on the official road along the Yangtze River, and continued: "There are scouts of our army closely monitored on the official road, if Sun Ce walks here, he will inevitably be seen by us!" However, we have not received any reports of Sun Cejun's march today! Therefore, Sun Cejun must have gone to Hushu through the trail! After all, for Sun Ce at present, Sun Jian's life is the most important thing! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel that the fog in front of him had dispersed, and asked Guo Jiadao: "Then Fengxiao thinks, where is Sun Ce now?" ”

Jia Xu pointed to the location of Duyang County: "According to time and Sun Ce's character, it is very likely that he has arrived here now!" ”

Cao Cao looked at the location of Duyang County, his eyes lit up, and he laughed: "In this way, wouldn't I soon see this famous little overlord in Jiangdong!" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, and said to Guo Jia in an inquiring tone: "Immediately, the scouts will focus on searching Duyang County and its places within a radius of a hundred miles, and the army will accelerate towards the Wu army!" ”

Guo Jia arched his hand with admiration on his face and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered the herald to pass down the order, Guo Jia suddenly remembered something, and asked Cao Cao for instructions: "Your Majesty, the rebel army led by Li Si is in Linchuan County, do you want to use this force?" ”

Cao Cao pondered: "These so-called rebel armies have no discipline at all, if they are allowed to attack the southwest under the banner of our army, it will definitely affect the image of our army!" If they are allowed to go north, I am afraid that it will not do anything except drag them back! ”

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thought that he could let them go north to assist us in dealing with Sun Ce!" Guo Jia's face was unfathomable.

Cao Cao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did Feng Xiao say this?" ”

Guo Jia analyzed: "The composition of the rebel army is all the people in Yangzhou who cannot bear Sun Jian's harsh taxes, and most of them are inextricably linked with the soldiers in the Wu army. ”

Guo Jia smiled, very sinister, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "That is the case, then let Li Si lead his righteous army to the north immediately to join the Wu army and our army!" ”

Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 to march towards the Wu army, while thousands of scouts scattered in the direction of Duyang County like a large net.

Before the evening of the same day, Cao Cao's army of 100,000 arrived at the city of Wujun, but Cao Cao had not received any news about Sun Cejun's army.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be anxious, and ordered the herald to send orders to Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, and Cao Pi, the general who stayed behind in Jianye, telling them to be careful and not negligent. (To be continued.) )
