Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

Just as the Northern Expeditionary Army mobilized against Yuan Shang's troops going south, Cao Cao's 30 troops had quietly crossed the Yellow River and gathered in Gaotang County under the jurisdiction of Jizhou.Gaotang was under the jurisdiction of Jizhou. In Yuan Shao's war to destroy Han Fu, Cao Cao took the opportunity to take down several places near Qingzhou and Yanzhou, including Gaotang County.Gaotang County is located more than [-] miles southeast of Jizhou City, and it only takes a few hours for light cavalry to reach Jizhou City.

That night, the Gaotang government office was brightly lit, Cao Cao was sitting on the main seat, and more than half of the generals and advisers under his command had arrived.

"My lord, the 30 troops are ready, just waiting for my lord's order!" General Xiahou Dunhong said.All the generals in the hall showed eagerness to try.

Cao Cao glanced at Tang Xia, full of spirits. "Yuan Shao has led the army to leave Jizhou, I decided to launch an attack tomorrow!" The generals cheered up and stared at Cao Cao with piercing eyes. [

Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, you two lead an army of [-] to Jizhou, and you must occupy Jizhou city before Kong Rong and others!" "Yes!" Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan stood in the hall swear.

"Cao Hong, Cao Ren, you two lead an army of [-] to the Bohai Sea, wait for Kong Rong and others to enter Jizhou, and immediately send troops north to capture Renqiu and Hejian counties, so as to cut off the route of Kong Rong and others fleeing north. Passage, and prevent Youzhou Liu Yu from fishing in troubled waters!"

Cao Hong and Cao Ren will immediately go out and agree.

"The rest of the generals will follow me. I will lead an army of [-] to attack Guangping and cut off Yuan Shang's passage to aid Jizhou!" "Yes!" All the generals came out to agree.

Afterwards, Cao Cao shifted his gaze to Guo Jia, and said in harmony, "Feng Xiao will stay in Gao Tang and coordinate the troops!"

Guo Jia nodded.Guo Jia's complexion was not very good, and he coughed from time to time, as if his old illness had relapsed.Cao Cao was very worried about this situation.

After giving the order, Cao Cao gave up the account.All the generals and counselors left one after another, and only Guo Jia stayed behind.

"Oh!" Cao Cao suddenly sighed.

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Why are you bothered, my lord?"

Cao Cao shook his head, and said in a heavy tone: "The Zhengbei Army is like a huge monster now, and I feel a little powerless!"

Guo Jia frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, then stared straight at Cao Cao, "Has the lord lost confidence?"

Cao Cao showed a dazed expression, and murmured, "Confidence? Can confidence turn the current situation around?"

Guo Jia replied: "Of course confidence cannot make the Beibei Army weaker, but it can make us stronger. Although confidence cannot guarantee victory over the enemy, without confidence we will surely be defeated!"

Cao Cao's expression shook.

Guo Jia turned his head and looked at the night outside and continued: "Life is only a few dozen cold and summer days. As a man, if you can't be vigorous, you will not live up to this life?" He turned his head and looked at Cao Cao with piercing eyes. So what about hatred? At least we once ruled the world!"

Cao Cao clapped his hands sharply, "Well said!"

Immediately, he walked out of the lobby quickly, raised his head to the sky and screamed, the roar pierced through the nine heavens, filled with a heroic spirit.The soldiers of Cao Jun were all startled by the roar, and couldn't help but feel excited and awed.

In the end, he laughed a lot, returned to Guo Jia, and said proudly: "Let us fight Chen Chu vigorously! Even if we lose, we will live up to this life!" Guo Jia knelt down on the ground and said excitedly : "I will follow the lord to the death!"

Then the two looked at each other and laughed. [

The next day, the 30 Cao troops took action and divided into three groups to attack Bohai, Jizhou City and Guangping.At the same time, the former princes of Qingzhou who lived in Youzhou raised an army of [-], led by Kong Rong and Tai Shici as the vanguard, and went south into Jizhou.The two armies from the north and the south are facing each other, and there is no suspense for Yuan Shao to lose Jizhou.

Yuan Shang only left tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled in the territory of Jizhou. It is impossible for such a force to resist the long-planned attack of the master's enemy.In just half a month, the entire territory of Jizhou fell.

On June [-], Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan's [-] troops fought fiercely in Boling County, sixty miles north of Jizhou City. Defeated, the remnants retreated to Hejian.

However, when the coalition forces retreated to Hejian, they discovered that Hejian had been captured by Cao Jun.The coalition forces were suddenly in a panic, because the fall of Hejian meant that the way for the coalition forces to escape back to Youzhou was blocked by Cao Jun.

The so-called 'house leaks and it rains all night, and the boat breaks and meets the head wind'.Just when the coalition forces were at a loss because of the occupation of Hejian, Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan led a hundred thousand troops to chase after them.

Fortunately, general Tai Shici repelled Cao's army desperately, and the coalition forces temporarily stationed on a high hill more than ten miles south of Hejian.This high hill has no name. The east side is a steep slope of about [-] degrees, and the other sides are cliffs.The east and south sides of Gaogang are flat plains, and the west and north sides are rolling hills.The terrain here is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it seems that the coalition forces under the siege of Cao Jun can only be trapped here.

The atmosphere in the temporary tent was dull and oppressive, and the high-spirited princes in the past were all frowning.

"Why don't you just surrender to Cao Cao?" said Ying Xun, the former prefect of Mount Tai.Immediately, someone joined in.

Kong Rong frowned, unable to make up his mind, and looked at Tai Shici who was beside him, but Tai Shici closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, as if what everyone said was related to him.

Kong Rong couldn't help feeling displeased, but thought that he was completely dependent on Tai Shici, so he didn't attack.Turning to look at Tian Kai who was opposite Tai Shici, he asked, "Inspector, what's your opinion?" This Tian Kai was originally Qingzhou Inspector, so Kong Rong called him Inspector, and Kong Rong's official rank was lower than Tian Kai. Wait, logically the coalition army should be headed by Tian Kai, but because Kong Rong is the strongest and assisted by a fierce general like Tai Shici, everyone named him the commander of the coalition army.

Tian Kai hesitated for a moment, then replied: "I agree with Ying Taishou's proposal!"

Seeing that the No. [-] person in the coalition army said the same thing, most of them immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, if you don't ask General Cao to surrender at this moment, when will you wait?"

Glancing at everyone, Kong Rong sighed naively and said, "If that's the case, then let's surrender!"

At this moment, Kong Rong suddenly heard a sneer, which was from Tai Shici.

"Ziyi, what's your opinion?" Kong Rong asked hastily, and at the same time, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Tai Shici.In fact, these princes who are used to being emperors are not willing to be a pawn under the command of others.

Tai Shici glanced at Kong Rong, and said with a sneer, "The prefect and all the adults have already decided to surrender to Cao Cao, do you need me to say more?"

"Ziyi, don't say such a thing! We just decided to surrender to Cao Cao, isn't it a last resort?" Kong Rong complained, and all the princes immediately agreed.

Tai Shici's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's not impossible to make a comeback at the moment! Jizhou and Youzhou are closely related. If Jizhou falls into Cao Cao's hands, his next target will be Youzhou! Although Liu Yu is a bit cowardly by nature, But he definitely understands the stakes! So if we send people back to Youzhou to benefit Liu Yuxiao, we will be able to persuade him to send a large army to the south. At that time, we will have a chance to break through the siege of Cao Jun and return to Youzhou! Then wait for the opportunity, or go east to Qingzhou, or go south to Jizhou!"

The princes suddenly felt their eyes brighten.Kong Rong applauded even more.

"But who should be sent back to Youzhou? Leaving aside that, the most difficult thing is how to break through the blockade of Cao Jun at the foot of the mountain?" Tian Kai asked suddenly.The crowd suddenly fell silent. This is indeed an unavoidable and very difficult question.

Tai Shici smiled and said: "I would like to lead the [-] fine cavalry under my command to break through Cao Jun's blockade!" Then he glanced at the princes and continued: "As for who will return to Youzhou to persuade Liu Yu, that is not my consideration. !” [

The princes discussed immediately, and finally decided that Kong Rong should return to Youzhou.Because the friendship between Kong Rong and Liu Yu is very deep.

That night, Taishi

Ci led eight hundred elite riders to escort Kong Rong out of the camp quietly.But because there were not many hidden objects on the mountain road, Tai Shici and his party were discovered before they even went down the mountain.The sound of Cao Jun's horn immediately pierced the night sky.

Tai Shici frowned, and shouted: "Li Yu, you lead half of the fine cavalry to escort the prefect to the north! The rest follow me into Cao Ying!" "Yes!" 800 people roared and promised, facing 10,000+ Cao Jun, they were unafraid.At this moment, Kong Rong's legs and feet were already a little weak.

The cavalry split into two groups in the darkness.A group led by Li Yu and guarding Kong Rong temporarily hid in a forest at the foot of the mountain. They were waiting for an opportunity. Once Cao Jun's attention was completely attracted to Tai Shici, they would immediately head north.The other group, led by Tai Shici, went to Cao Jun's camp with great fanfare.I have to admire Tai Shici's courage, he dared to lead four hundred cavalry to attack the 10,000+ Cao Jun camp! ! ~!
