"Smack!" was already very dissatisfied with Tian Fenghe's words, Feng Ji added fuel to the fire at this time, Yuan Shao was suddenly furious, slapped the table in front of him, and shouted to the guards outside the hall: "Someone!" Take these two down and put them in prison! ”

Hearing Yuan Shao's shout, six or seven guards immediately ran in from outside the hall, and the four guards who ran in the front, one of them, twisted Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and dragged them out of the hall without saying anything.

"Yuan Gong! Do not send troops, they will be defeated! Being twisted by the guards, Tian Feng calmed down in his heart, and when the guards dragged him out of the front hall, he didn't forget to turn around and shout loudly to Yuan Shao, who was pale.

Yuan Shao, who was already on the verge of rage, listened to Tian Feng's words, not only did he not think about them carefully, but he blushed and shouted to everyone in the hall: "This person, someone will be killed!" ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu angered Yuan Shao, and in the face of Yuan Shao, who was blue and blue-faced, even if some people thought the same as Tian Feng and Fu Zhu in their hearts, they didn't dare to say a word.

Everyone in the hall lowered their heads, and Yuan Shao, who was sitting behind the low table, was silent for a long time with a blue face, and finally stood up violently and shouted to everyone: "Immediately send an order, order the army, and set out on the expedition!" ”

"No!" Yuan Shao gave the order to go out, and everyone in the hall stood up one after another, clenching their fists in response.

The army of Yuan Shao in Hebei was ready to stop, and he only needed to choose an auspicious day to send troops, but at this time, there were many Cao army soldiers around Xudu.

These Cao soldiers are all cavalry.

They were in groups of five, and while they were galloping, everyone's eyes were constantly wandering around, as if they were looking for something important, for fear of losing it.

The cavalry of the Cao army, which was divided into many groups, was searching for something in all directions, and Cao Hong, who led them, was sitting outside a tent in the wilderness at this time, quietly waiting for the soldiers to bring him news.

In the first battle of Shouchun, Cao Hong was defeated.

The 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command were annihilated by the Qin army without even asking for half a night.

Back in Xudu, although Cao Cao didn't blame him too much, Cao Hong, who was ashamed in his heart, still locked his house in the back garden, and didn't see anyone for a long time, just studied the art of war alone in the house, looking forward to going to the battlefield again in the future, so as to wash away the humiliation of the day.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's sudden order to call him, Cao Hong at this time would definitely lock himself in the back garden, and he wouldn't even take a step out of the door.

Outside the tent, there was a low table, and on the low table, there was a small tea bowl carved from white jade.

The tea bowl was full of tea, but Cao Hong didn't drink it.

Cao Cao gave him a thousand cavalry, and what he was asked to do was only one thing, that is, to lead this thousand cavalry to search for the messenger sent by the Qin army to Xia Cai.

The cavalry had already been distributed, and an area nearby was almost covered by the sight of the cavalry led by Cao Hong, who believed that even if he looked for a fly, the fly would have nowhere to escape.

What he had to wait for was that the cavalry found the messenger of the Qin army, stopped the messenger, and twisted it to him.

The tea on the table was already cold, and a personal soldier stepped forward to help Cao Hong change the tea, but Cao Hong waved his hand at him.

Seeing Cao Hong waving his hand, the pro-soldier bowed down and retreated.

Looking at the vast wilderness in front of him, Cao Hong's brows gradually twisted.

The cavalry has been distributed for a long time, but until now, there has been no news of the Qin army's messengers, and Cao Hong also faintly felt uneasy in his heart.

If he can't do this little thing, in the eyes of Cao Cao in the future, he may no longer have any value.

Just when Cao Hong was looking at the wilderness in front of him and feeling a little anxious, he saw three fast horses galloping in the distance.

On the back of the fast horse running at the front, there was a man in a big red robe.

Seeing the three fast horses rushing towards him, Cao Hong quickly stood up, staring ahead without blinking.

The three fast horses running towards him got closer and closer, and when the fast horses got close to a certain distance, Cao Hong's face finally smiled.

He saw clearly that it was a man wearing Qin army armor who was carrying a cavalryman on horseback by a Cao army cavalryman.

The man was obviously seriously injured, lying on Cao Jun's horse, and he didn't even move.

"General!" The three fast horses carried a puff of smoke and dust, and when they arrived in front of Cao Hong, the knights on horseback turned over and jumped down, and one of them clasped his fists and said to Cao Hong: "When we find this person, we will quickly start a round-up." This man is very good, he killed me and seven other brothers before he was captured! ”

Hearing that the messenger of the Qin army killed seven Cao army cavalry with the power of one person, Cao Hong was also stunned for a moment.

The combat strength of the Qingzhou army is not as good as that of the Qin army, Cao Hong does know it, but he never thought that the Qin army is so strong, a messenger can kill seven Cao soldiers before they are finally captured.

"Put this man down!" Looking at the messenger of the Qin army, who was still lying on the back of his horse and was dying, Cao Hong gave an order to the three Cao army cavalry.

When the servants got the order, they hurriedly stepped forward, lifted the messenger of the Qin army off their horses, and dragged them in front of Cao Hong.

After a battle, the messenger of the Qin army was already dying, and when he was dragged in front of Cao Hong by three Cao cavalry, he lay on the ground, closed his eyes tightly, and refused to even look at Cao Hong.

Looking down at the messenger of the Qin army, Cao Hong found that his body was already stained with blood, and there was a tasting opening on his chest, and in the crack of the cut armor, the flesh could be faintly seen.

"Did you find any letters from him?" Cao Jun captured the messenger of the Qin army, and Cao Hong was already relieved and asked the three cavalrymen.

The three cavalrymen first glanced at each other, and then one of them bowed to Cao Hong with his fists in his fist and said, "General Qiyu, although we have searched, we have not found that he has a letter on him!" ”

The messenger didn't have a letter on him, so Cao Hong couldn't help but feel strange.

He frowned slightly, looked down at the Qin army messenger lying on the ground again, and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Take this person down, and heal the wounded!" ”

The messenger of the Qin army was seriously wounded, and Cao Hong did not know if he could be saved.

It's just that the messenger didn't have a letter on him, which really made Cao Hong feel very uneasy in his heart.

The two soldiers stepped forward, dragged the soldiers of the Cao army, and walked towards the prisoner cart that had been prepared not far away.

Looking back at the messenger of the Qin army who was dragged away by the two pro-soldiers, Cao Hong gave an order to the other pro-soldiers: "Pack up the camp tent and return to Xudu!" ”

The messenger of the Qin army was intercepted by the Cao army, and Liu Wei and Pang Tong, who were in Luoyang, were unaware, and the defenders in Xia Cai City did not receive Liu Wei's order, so they did not transfer to Shouchun.

On the contrary, Cao Jun's messenger arrived in Xuzhou in time.

Xiahoudun, who received Cao Cao's order, did not dare to delay for a moment, and on the day he received the order, he led the army and left Xuzhou.

On the day when the main force of Cao's army withdrew from Xuzhou, the Qingzhou army was stationed immediately.

Earlier, Liu Bei took advantage of the situation and took away Xuzhou when Cao Cao was completely defenseless, which really gave Cao Cao a wake-up call.

Xiahoudun, who received Cao Cao's order, led 70,000 soldiers under his command, and after leaving Xuzhou, he marched straight towards Shouchun.

Cao Jun was already on the way, but Qin Jun was not at all wary of their movements.

However, two or three days later, the Cao army under Xiahoudun had already arrived at the foot of Shouchun City.

The guards of Shouchun were only a thousand people, and Xiahoudun led the army to Shouchun, stationed the army outside the city, and looked at the closed Shouchun gate from afar, but did not give the order to attack the city immediately.

Riding on horseback, looking at Shouchun City, Xiahoudun took out a bag from his arms.

After he led the army to leave Xuzhou, a Cao army messenger caught up with the army and sent it to him, saying that it was Guo Jia's strategy, asking him to go outside Shouchun City and open it again.

Now that the army has arrived in Shouchun, it is time to open Guo Jia's bag.

After taking out the bag from his arms, Xia Houdun solemnly opened the bag and took out a piece of paper from it.

Unfolding the piece of paper, Xiahoudun just glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment.

Guo Jia's strategy written on the piece of paper, Xiahoudun turned out to be a little familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that Cao Ren led the army to ambush Lu Bu in the first place, and this strategy was adopted.

Now that Guo Jia is using the same strategy to deal with the Qin army, whether the Qin army will be fooled or not, Xiahoudun is not very sure.

After reading Guo Jia's strategy, Xiahoudun was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and pondered for a moment, before he ordered to the soldiers behind him in a tone that he himself was not very sure about: "Surround Shouchun, and send a small number of soldiers and horses to intercept the Qin army reinforcements in the middle of the road!" ”

The pro-soldiers did not think as much as Xiahoudun, and after receiving the order, the pro-soldier answered and conveyed the order to the whole army.

Cao's army was stationed outside Shouchun City, and the news soon reached the ears of the Qin army in Xia Cai.

Jia Xu, who was still in Xia Cai at this time, was shocked when he learned that Cao Jun suddenly appeared outside Shouchun City, and then ran quickly to Xia Cai City Wall.

It is not very far between Xia Cai and Shouchun, but standing on the city wall of Xia Cai, it is still impossible to see Shouchun.

Running up the city wall, looking at the continuous Xiangling Mountains outside the city, Jia Xu's brows were tightly locked, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Just when Jia Xu was looking outside the city, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and when the footsteps reached his back, he heard Zhang Liao's voice: "Zhonglang, the Cao army suddenly besieged Shouchun, Shouchun has few soldiers and can't resist the enemy, what can I do now?" ”

"There are only two ways!" Looking back at Zhang Liao, Jia Xu's face also showed a sense of embarrassment, and said to Zhang Liao: "First, give up Shouchun, I will wait to defend Xia Cai, in this way, Xia Cai is a lonely city, even if you defend it, it will be difficult to hold it for a long time!" On the other hand, our army sent soldiers and horses to fight into Shouchun City, and fought against the enemy together with the defenders in the city, but the Cao army will definitely set up an ambush in the middle of the road, once you are not careful, I am afraid that it will fall short! ”
