"Let's go to the reserve team." Zhao Cheng suddenly ordered again. This order seemed to follow the trend, but the messenger who knew him knew that he had thought a lot. Did Xiahou Dun really break through in this direction? Could it be a false shot? The prudent approach is to send troops from the nearby detachment to support him. If they still lose, Xiahou Dun will break through the siege desperately, and the reserve troops can be excluded. However, it is also possible to lose the fighter plane, let Xiahou Dun make a desperate charge, and then slip away. Soldiers are based on judgment and accurate judgment. Zhao Cheng's judgment is that Xiahou Dun is desperate to break through in this direction, or the flying shovel with the flow of fire is fast, indicating that Xiahou Dun's light cavalry is very brave and is frantically attacking and breaking through. Moreover, with Xiahou Dun's fighting style, stubbornness is better than deceit.

"Are these teams in place?" Zhao Cheng asked impatiently. He found that the torches of Xiahou Dun's army were still flowing. If the three teams were together, it would not be possible for this situation to occur. Especially the reserve team was a brave iron cavalry, so it would not be unable to stop Xiahou Dun.

"The other teams will follow! Prepare to compress the space for Xiahou Dun's movement and wipe them all out!" For a moment, Zhao Cheng's eyes flashed with a savage murderous aura similar to that of Zhong Ping, Zhong Ting and others. Perhaps Zhongping saw the murderous intent in Zhao Cheng's eyes, and promoted him exceptionally, entrusting him with a heavy responsibility as a Han Chinese.

"Come with me!" Zhao Cheng finally couldn't hold his breath, and the prancing horse galloped away to the southeast. He soon saw Cao Jun. The one in front was particularly striking. The Xiongnu Corps marched forward, and the generals rushed to the left and right, picking up several people in a row. The Xiongnu soldiers could not get close to the fire at all. This general was undoubtedly Xiahou Dun. Zhao Cheng couldn't help but stunned when he saw this blood-soaked general. This bravery is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. Looking at Cao Jun again, the blood was all over his face, and he roared hoarsely. Zhao Cheng didn't say anything, just watched coldly. He has assembled all the main force in the eastern Xiongnu, about 60,000 elite cavalry. It was Zhao Cheng who quelled the rebellion on the left side of the Xiongnu, and the rebels were terrified. He gave Zhao Cheng the title: "Night Battle Ghost." It was Zhao Cheng who was extremely good at night battles. If the rebels are a little careless, the fires will flare up everywhere at night, and the Xiongnu soldiers will come flooding in. Every battle must be stabbed in the heart. It is necessary to wipe out the main force of the rebels, capture their leaders, kill them on the spot, and hang their heads. In less than two months, the rebels everywhere were wiped out, and the left was mostly calm. The rebels heard the ghost of the night battle, but couldn't see Zhao Cheng, and they were often captured in a dark night and in the light of fire. The leader of the rebel army was mostly screaming and surrendering, but there was no hope. He often saw Zhao Cheng's stern face nodded slightly, and then was dragged out by the guards and immediately beheaded.

Zhao Cheng saw the opportunity this time. Xiahou Dun's light cavalry was no more than ten thousand people, and the heavy infantry group was a hundred miles behind and could not come to the rescue. And its winning streak, sweeping Wuhuan, can not help but arrogant and neglected to guard against. Zhao Cheng's main force of more than 60,000 cavalrymen quietly crossed the grasslands, and the east and west divided their teams to surround Xiahou Dun and attacked suddenly. The Xiongnu soldiers were well-versed and were preparing to take Xiahou Dun's head. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun rushed out by himself, leading dozens of guards, and rushed from left to right.

Xiahou Dun then checked the situation of the 397 Xiongnu troops, and he was shocked, knowing that this time the Xiongnu soldiers were not ordinary harassment, but to destroy themselves, and even kill themselves. Xiahou Dun was quite surprised. After all, he had not seen anyone who dared to take his own life for many years, and he had a clear goal. He even felt confident, without any hesitation or redundancy.

After all, Xiahou Dun was a veteran on the battlefield. Knowing that the situation was not good, the only way was to accumulate strength and fight to break through, otherwise the army and horses would probably be wiped out and he would be killed.

Zhao Cheng is a ghost in the field, a rare warrior in the Central Plains of Xiahou Dun. This ghost in the night battle applies his usual tactics to the warriors in the Central Plains deadly and quickly, like a deadly snake at night, targeting his prey. Perhaps it is better to describe Zhao Cheng with snakes than with wolves. Although wolves also attacked, they more showed the bravery, bloody, and quickness of hunting, which was the unique temperament of the Huns. And Zhao Cheng is actually a bit out of tune with this. He is a poisonous snake in the dark, killing the enemy with a fatal blow without any extra moves. But whether it is a coyote or a night snake, their wildness is the same. Naturally, the tigers in the Central Plains would not be killed as helplessly as the prairie rebels. Xiahou Dun quickly understood the situation and used his rare and amazing bravery to lead the breakthrough. Obviously, Zhao Cheng watched from the corner coldly. He knew that this Xiahou Dun, he can do heavy damage, but he is not a tiger that he can swallow. .

Chapter One Hundred and Two Talents Wither

But he said that Xiahou Dun advanced too fast and was attacked by Zhao Cheng, the general of the left side of the Xiongnu. Xiahou Dun desperately broke through the siege, ran for hundreds of miles overnight, and finally approached the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry groups. At this time, there were only more than a thousand light cavalry around him. , and the rest were completely damaged in the layers of encirclement and annihilation.

The news immediately reached Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao was in great anxiety. He was the only one in the big tent of the Chinese army, and all the other staff officers were expelled by him to formulate a battle plan. In fact, there was nothing to formulate, and Cheng Yu, Xun You and others could easily and quickly write it out. That is, 50,000 light cavalry was immediately used to attack first, the second heavy cavalry team moved closer to the light cavalry, and the other infantry were the third team. Although Xiahou Dun did this, and Cao Cao had warned him of the risks involved, the light cavalry could easily be surrounded and destroyed, and all parts could not take care of it. The situation on Cao Cao's side is much simpler, because Cao Cao's light cavalry has 50,000 to 60,000 people, only he can eat others', there is no reason for others to eat him, and the heavy cavalry closely follows the light cavalry, and the infantry try to keep up with the heavy cavalry. cavalry. Cao Cao's rapid advance was conducive to meeting Xiahou Dun in the north, so that the light cavalry would become horns of each other, eliminating the danger of Xiahou Dun's lone army going deep.

However, when the plan was presented, Cao Cao glanced at it and threw it aside.

"My lord." A military doctor entered the tent.

Cao Cao stood up immediately: "How is Mr. Guo Jia? Are you still asleep?"

"Mr. Guo Jia has already woken up. It may be due to acclimatization and internal fluid imbalance. In addition, Mr. Guo Jia is thinner, so he is seriously ill." The military doctor said cautiously.

Cao Cao only heard the word "wake up", and immediately walked out quickly, "I'll go take a look!"

On the sickbed, Guo Jia was pale and looked very haggard. Seeing Cao Cao coming, Guo Jia smiled weakly.

"Sir, you're finally awake." Cao Cao half-knelt down beside Guo Jia's bed and grabbed Guo Jia's hand. "I've been in a coma for two days, I'm going to worry to death 々ˇ!"

"Guo Jia is incompetent, so the lord is worried." Guo Jia smiled weakly.

"What are you talking about!" Cao Cao said angrily: "You must rest well, I, Cao Cao, can't lose you!"

"Where is the army?" Guo Jia asked in a low voice.

"Pinggang." Cao Cao said.

"Pinggang?" Guo Jia frowned slightly, "It seems that Xiahou Dun has already advanced to the northern border of Wuhuan, close to the Xiongnu. Why didn't we keep up? We advanced to Pinggang?" Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao's eyes. Got it right away. "Why is the lord being a scholar and delaying the army's journey!"

Guo Jia reluctantly wanted to get up, but Cao Cao quickly held it down: "Sir is my right-hand man, how can I leave him, he must be by my side!"

When Guo Jia heard this, he was very anxious: "My lord, the situation is serious now. Xiahou Dun is alone and has no response. If the Huns take the opportunity to attack, the safety of General Xiahou and his light cavalry will be difficult to guarantee!" Barely sat up. "Zhao Cheng, a famous general from the left of the Huns, is known as the ghost of the night battle. General Xiahou needs special precautions."

"Understood, I will definitely tell Xiahou Dun." Cao Cao said.

"Guo Jia urges the lord to immediately lead the army forward, and just leave me here to raise the troops. Don't delay the army's itinerary because of Guo Jia alone! This expedition is all sudden, and the lord must count every second!" Guo Jia seemed to be A little excited, Cao Cao quickly supported him: "I know, everything is done according to Mr.'s wishes. Please also concentrate on recuperating here."

Cheng Yu walked in, leaned against Cao Cao's ear, and said, "My lord, there is an urgent report ahead. General Xiahou suffered a heavy loss."

"What's wrong?" Guo Jia immediately became alert.

"It's nothing, sir." Cao Cao said hurriedly. "Cheng Yu report to me the movements of the fallen army."

"Luochen and the Huns fought to the death, the Huns are indeed a strong enemy." Guo Jia thought thoughtfully.

"Please take a good rest, sir, don't worry. After the decisive battle is over, we will come and bring Mr. back to Xudu." Cao Cao ordered and left in a hurry.

"Xiahou Dun's light cavalry was attacked near the border of the Xiongnu in the north of Wuhuan. The enemy's leader was Zhao Cheng. The Xiongnu troops were about 50,000 or more, and they carried out an encircling assault on our army. General Xiahou brought the light cavalry to break through the encirclement violently..." Cao Cao just left the camp , Cheng Yu said later.

"What happened to Xiahou Dun? Didn't he get hurt?" Cao Cao interrupted him.

"General Lai Xiahou is brave, and he is safe and sound, but the ten thousand light cavalry under his command is close to annihilating the entire army." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao didn't speak, just frowned with a cold expression on his face.

"My lord, please order, our right army will advance immediately and form an antagonism with General Xiahou's men, otherwise we still don't know what Zhao Chengneng can do."

"Mr. Guo Jia is raising troops here." Cao Cao said stubbornly.

".'Mr. Guo Jia also invited you to join the army! Please, the lord, put the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers first, don't go against Mr. Guo Jia's wishes, and trap Mr. Guo Jia in injustice!" Cheng Yu almost shouted.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and remained silent. He walked into the army tent alone. Cheng Yu hesitated for a while, but still didn't go in. Cao Cao may have to think and decide for himself. Given Guo Jia's current situation, it is clear to everyone that he is not optimistic. Cao Cao relies too heavily on Guo Jia, and his friendship with Guo Jia is more than a monarch and a minister. They are like brothers and sisters. The person he trusted most died alone in a foreign land, and Cao Cao was emotionally unacceptable, which was the reason why he was reluctant to enter the army.

After a long time, Cao Cao came out. "The messenger!" There was exhaustion in his voice. "Order the army to move out immediately, and the light cavalry to advance quickly, and move closer to the main force of General Xiahou. We must sweep all the Wuhuan strongholds along the way, defeat the main Wuhuan (Li's) main force, and capture its leader!"

"Understood!" The order was immediately passed on to the various major battalions and generals, and an hour later, a large number of light cavalry galloped away accompanied by the dust in the sky.

Cao Cao in the team glanced at the camp. He had always despised religion or Confucian dogma. He believed in his own strength and will. He suddenly wanted to pray devoutly. He tried to find a god, but his mind went blank. In the end, he gave up and just said softly, "Mr. Guo Jia! Treasure it!"

In the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao defeated the Wuhuan.

In the 12th year of Jian'an, Guo Jia died of a serious illness in Pinggang.

When the news came, Cao Cao was silent for a long time and closed his door for two days. Guo Jia's funeral was solemn, and Cao Cao mournfully held the coffin and was given the posthumous title of Zhenhou.

Luo Chen, who was in command of the Han-Hungarian battle on the front line, heard about this and couldn't help sighing silently: "Heaven envy Yingcai! Heaven envy Yingcai!".

Chapter 103: Veteran Ma Teng

But it was said that Cao Cao cried while holding the coffin, describing his friendship with Guo Jia, and all the ministers wept. People around him approached Cao Cao and said, "Mr. Guo Jia left a letter when he passed away, please see the Prime Minister." Cao Cao took the letter and read it, sighed and nodded for a long time.

"Please, the lord, order to go north to conquer Liaodong. Take the heads of Yuan Tan and Guo Tu. If Gongsun Kang of Liaodong does not ask the heavenly soldiers to surrender, they will be destroyed together." Cao Hong, Xu Huang and other generals said in succession.

"No need." Cao Cao shook his head with a smile, "Gongsun Kang will send the heads of Yuan Tan and the others."

The generals looked at each other in dismay. Could it be that Cao Cao was overwhelmed with grief and had delusions? Cao Cao saw the generals' puzzled expressions, and with a sigh, he circulated Guo Jia's letter to them, and everyone was greatly amazed.

Sure enough, the army did not stay for a few days, and Gongsun Kang sent the heads of Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, and expressed that he was a minister to Cao Cao's forces. It turned out that Guo Jia expected that Yuan Tan and others would not be willing to live under Gongsun Kang, but were forced to attack by Cao Cao. Gongsun Kang also had doubts and was quite guarded against them, but he was even more afraid of Cao Cao's crusade, so he temporarily joined forces with Yuan Tan and others. Guo Jia saw this and left a letter to Cao Cao, persuading him to stop at the border and not rush to attack Liaodong. Sure enough, Cao Cao did not move, and the rift between Yuan Tan and Gongsun Kang became more and more obvious. Gongsun Kang set up a 710 banquet to invite Yuan Tan and Guo Tu over, and beheaded them during the banquet. Fearing that Cao Cao would attack, he simply surrendered to Cao Cao.

At this point, the whole territory of Hebei, including the Wuhuan and Liaodong forces who claimed to be vassals to the Hebei forces, were all attributed to Cao Cao. Cao Cao's conquest of Hebei has been completed.

The words were divided into two parts. Na Luochen went to the front line of the Han-Hungarian battle in person, and the prelude to the war started. To the surprise of the people in the Central Plains and the grasslands, they thought that after the fall of the dust, they would command the Central Plains heavy army group to attack, and an extremely fierce battle would break out. Unexpectedly, the border was extremely quiet, and both sides were lining up to search for fighter planes secretly. Often Luojun found a loophole in the Xiongnu, and was immediately taken by Yeyesuo. It seemed that there was a fierce battle in the chess game. However, the loophole did not appear, and Luochen's army could only wait hard.

Luochen came to command in Shuofang City, also known as Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun tried to attack directly several times, but was stopped by Luochen. It was Luo Chen who saw that the position of the enemy's main force was uncertain, so he rashly attacked and was easily attacked. However, under the guidance of Luochen's cautious tactics towards the Xiongnu, the Luo army often maintained very (bade) restraint; Jesso seemed to have guessed Luochen's psychology, and the army was integrated erratically, often in motion, in the vast On the grasslands, the thousands of scouts who fell into the army had difficulty determining the position of their main force, so they did not dare to attack.
