"My lord, the last general is incompetent, blocked the sun and lost it, and lost a lot of soldiers!" When Le Jin found Cao Cao, Cao Cao was distressed for the loss of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. This is the only army he can handle at present. For this tiger and leopard ride, Cao Cao can be said to have been raised by cutting down on food and clothing and tightening his belt. Now he has suffered so much damage in the first battle.

Hearing Le Jin recount the process of losing the city, Cao Cao rubbed his temples, looked left and right, and said, "This horse is still a little quick-witted."

At this point, a normal general would probably think that the safety car is gone, right?

After all, the city was lost, and even his elite team couldn't break the city. Although Le Jin didn't say it, Cao Cao could imagine that Le Jin must have slackened in his heart at that time.

As myself, I think that Ma Chao should accept his fate. Who knew that this horse would do such a thing.

"Wen Qian, get up." Cao Cao helped Le Jin up, looked up and down for a moment, and said, "Then Ma Chao's tactics are vicious, and Wen Qian can come back, I feel at ease, as for the blocking sun, if you lose it and then fight back, this is a war. There is no reason to win without defeat.”

There must be some regrets, but it's hard to blame Le Jin at this time. Who would have thought that Ma Chao would be so pivotal?

"Once blocking Yang, it will be difficult for me to enter Nanyang." Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao, a little helpless.

Cao Cao didn't know, don't look at Ma Chao's plan, but the damage on Cao's side in the past few days is really not small. The battle fell into the camp, and the 5,000 were beaten and the army was defeated, not the whole army was wiped out, but there were 2,000.

Immediately following Ma Chao's attack on the battalion, after the war, at least 2,000 were lost, and then Le attacked the city at all costs. In addition to being recaptured by Ma Chao, the loss was at least 5,000, not to mention the loss of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Measured by the casualties of ordinary soldiers.

If these losses were exchanged for Nanyang, it would be fine, but the problem now is that if the Yang is blocked, it will be lost, which is equivalent to only conquering a scroll county.

This price is somewhat unacceptable.

Now Ma Chao is stationed at Duyang, and there is a trap camp to cooperate with the continuous crossbow. If he wants to capture this Duyang, he is afraid that he will spend a lot of money, but if he does not attack, the battlefield will change rapidly. This Nanyang gentry can defect to himself, and naturally he can defect to others. , If Cao Cao can't defeat Ma Chao, who knows if these people will greet Liu Biao and Sun Ce?

All are possible.

Sorry!

Now that Cao Cao is riding a tiger, he can't get down without fighting. He looked at Cheng Yu and suddenly asked, "Where is the road now?"

Cheng Yu said: "Stopped in Ruyin, it hasn't moved for a few days."

"Why?" Cao Cao frowned.

"I heard that the highway man felt the cold, so he rested for a few days." Cheng Yu sighed.

The bastard's occasional feeling of cold, clearly just doesn't want to come.

Cao Cao felt that Yuan Shu was still a little unclear. He took the initiative to provoke others when he shouldn't, and the princes couldn't help if they wanted to.

"Master, why don't you ask the leader for help?" Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao, he naturally knew why Cao Cao was tangled, although not all he brought. , but it can be regarded as an elite, and the loss is too much, naturally distressed.

"Suitable?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and was a little moved. After all, the original intention of sending troops this time was actually to divert the conflict. At the same time, he also wanted to use Lu Bu's hand to weaken Yuan Shao. Now that he is unlucky, Yuan Shao has no idea what to do.

"I heard that the justice was set up in Hanoi, Zhongmou and other places at the beginning, and they were still fighting. I thought that I wanted to wait for the river to freeze in winter and go to Mengjin to enter Heluo. At this time, the lord told him that the loss was heavy, and he asked him for some troops and horses to be repaid in the future. "Cheng Yu smiled.

Yuan Shao wasn't a fool either. He had seen how tight Hulao Pass was. Since Hulao Pass could not be moved, wouldn't it be better to wait until the winter to cross the river from Hanoi and take Mengjin directly?

As for why the princes didn't go here when they begged Dong, in fact, they did. At the beginning, Wang Kuang and Han Hao were sent troops from here by Dong Zhuo and almost took Hanoi.

As for Yuan Shao's specific plan, no one knows about this. Cao Cao only knows that Yuan Shao has a lot of troops and supplies.

"Why don't you try my lord?" Cheng Yu smiled.

It seemed that Yuan Shu could not count on him now, he could only count on Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao nodded. He needed someone to help him share the casualties. Even if Yuan Shao didn't want to, he had been friends for many years, so let's give it to thousands of people.

Cao Cao immediately sent people to Yuan Shao to ask for help.

However, it is difficult to quench the thirst in the distant waters, and reinforcements need to be called in, but this block Yang also has to be fought. Cao Cao does not know what state Ma Chao is in now, maybe he will be defeated, and the situation in Nanyang is also changing rapidly, maybe there is a change along the way. That would most likely affect the current battle situation. A Ma Chao is already so troublesome. If General Lu Bu Gao Shun personally brought the army, it would be even more difficult to deal with.

After two days of training, Cao Cao swung his troops to block the sun and ordered people to throw a cart to attack the city.

But this time, Ma Chao was obviously calmer. Cao Cao wanted Cao Ren to provoke Ma Chaocheng to fight. This time, Ma Chao ignored it and sent people to investigate secretly, worried about what tricks Cao Cao might have.

This makes Cao Cao a little dumbfounded. He wants to bypass Duyang now, but it is different from before. Along the way here is the territory of Nanyang.

Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, looked at Wei Kai and said, "Yuan Zhuo, I wonder if it is feasible to go to Zhixian here?"

"My lord, Zhixian County is remote and separated by water. If you want to bypass Duyang and go to Zhixian, you can, but from Zhixian to Wancheng or Duyang, it is quite troublesome."

To put it simply, there is no difference between winning Zhixian and not taking it. It is not on the main road. If it is taken, the grain and grass in Duyang will still not be able to be transported. The county does not have enough food and grass to support the three armies.

At that time, Wancheng only needs to stay behind closed doors and spend a few days on Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's side will have to retreat because of the lack of food.

"Yuan Zhuo, I wonder why the troops you raised didn't take Wancheng directly?" Cao Ren asked curiously.

"This..." Wei Kai didn't know what to say for a while.

You expect a group of stragglers to attack a county?

But if you say it directly, they have a lot of soldiers and horses, which is a bit embarrassing. After a long while, Wei Kai finally shook his head and sighed: "General, I am waiting for the soldiers and horses, all of them are gathered together, and Hou Yin and I gathered eight hundred soldiers. , each family adds up to more than 10,000, walk around, and if there is a slight movement, I am afraid that you will be noticed immediately."

In the county seat, any number of soldiers can defeat them individually. Nanyang has not been without riots in the past few years. How powerful the soldiers and horses of the government office are, they still have some numbers in their hearts. Otherwise, if they only talk about the number, why would they join Cao Cao? Wouldn't it be better to directly capture Wancheng?

Cao Cao nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, and then slowly closed his eyes. He didn't count on these people from the beginning, but thinking about it now, if these people are used well, it may not be impossible.

At that moment, Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Wei Kai and said, "Yuan Zhuo, I thought that all the troops and horses in Nanyang were too busy to take care of themselves at this time, and this is the time when you are waiting for troops!"

Wei Kai looked at Cao Cao suspiciously: "My lord, I am afraid that these soldiers and horses in our hands will not be able to break through Wancheng."

"There is no need to break Wancheng, other county towns, cut off the enemy's food supply, there are many things that can be done, as long as Nanyang is in chaos, Gao Shun and Ma Chao will definitely be at a loss, and at this time in Nanyang, I am afraid that there will be no more people to suppress. There are uprisings everywhere, right?" Cheng Yu persuaded with a smile on the side.

Wei Kai thought for a while after hearing the words: "Since Duke Cao said so, then go back immediately, discuss with everyone, and facilitate this matter as soon as possible?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Yuanzhuo, all the main forces in Nanyang are here. You are waiting for the right time to rise up. If you can attract Wancheng to send troops to suppress it, you can design bamboo strips to defend Wancheng and take the opportunity to capture Nanyang!"

Wei Kai and the others had similar ideas at the beginning, but everyone had different thoughts, some were willing, some were unwilling to take risks, and in the end there was no result. Now that Cao Cao is here, there are naturally not many problems. Nodding: "Then get up and go back here, and discuss with everyone what to do!"

"Good." Cao Cao nodded, thought about it, and said to the tent, "Chexu."

"The end is here!" Che Zhou stepped out of the queue and bowed to Cao Cao.

"Chexu is also a good warrior, you can take him back and help you lead the army!" Cao Cao smiled.

What the chariot wanted to bring was not just Wei Kai and Hou Yin's 800 men, but it was best to hold all the soldiers and horses gathered by these Nanyang gentry in their hands.

In that case, it means that Cao Cao has tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers~lightnovelpub.net~ Anything is better than nothing. If there are so many people and horses, if they can really take Wancheng, it is naturally the best. , to create chaos and mess up the entire Nanyang, by then, Ma Chao will be exhausted to death!

Of course, if it is more ruthless, it is to set fire to houses and run around people everywhere, just like the Yellow Turban thieves. The nature of the mind will inevitably go wrong again.

"Thank you so much, lord!" Although Wei Kai wanted to say that he already had generals, he thought that the generals sent by Cao Cao were better than a young man who had never fought a battle.

Bringing it back is to make Lu Wen a lieutenant, which is worthy of him.

Thinking of this, Wei Kai didn't say more.

"Chexu, after you go to Zhixian County, help Yuanzhuo well, this matter is very important, don't be careless!" Cao Cao looked at Chexu and instructed: "Zhongde will tell you what to do before you leave."

"Hey!" Che Xun didn't say much. He agreed with a roar and stepped aside. He had Cheng Yu to teach him how to do it. Cao Cao said goodbye, left Cao's camp and headed straight for Zhixian County...
