Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 385 Bad News

Gao Ping.

Not long after Cao Cao led five thousand elite cavalry into the city, the Xiliang cavalry followed and killed them.

Looking at the closed Gaoping four doors, Luo Zheng suddenly frowned.

The cavalry did not carry siege equipment, and even if they were capable of fighting horses, they would not be able to reach the top of the city.

Jia Xu urged him to come forward immediately, saying: "My lord, Cao Cao has nowhere to go. We just need to block him in Gaoping. In the next few months at most, when General Gao Shun captures Yanzhou and leads his army to encircle him, Cao Cao will definitely be unable to fly!"

Luo Zheng nodded, Cao A concealed and hid in the city, there is no other way now, only this.

More than [-] Xiliang cavalry regiments surrounded Gaoping City, their sabers were shining brightly, and they were full of murderous intent.

Cao Cao had already boarded the top of Gaoping City under the guard of all his confidants, and was watching from the top of the city. Seeing Xiliang cavalry surrounded Gaoping, his expression became more and more ugly.

After entering the city, although the Xiliang cavalry can be kept out temporarily, the city is also a cage for Cao Jun.

After watching the city for a while, Cao Cao went to the barracks to rest.

After running non-stop for seven or eight days, I was really exhausted.

Luo Zheng also ordered the army to camp outside the city, staring at Cao Cao so as not to let Cao A run away again.

Three days later, Zhang Liao led [-] cavalry to escort food and fodder to the army, and it was already July.

The battle reports from all over the country were continuously sent to the army. Cao Cao also received the military reports. Knowing that the two prefectures of Yan and Yu had been captured by Zhao Yun and Gao Shun, Luo Zheng's generals, he couldn't help but secretly worried, but there was nothing he could do.

He wanted to lead his army to break through, but was entangled by Xiliang cavalry outside the city.

Xun You's plan to steal the camp in the middle of the night was also rejected by Cao Cao. How could Luo Zheng be so easy to deal with? If it was so easy to be attacked successfully, Luo Zheng would not be alive now. To defeat the Xiliang Army, the only way is to rely on being upright strength.

While Cao Cao was in a state of anxiety, news of Liu Bei and Sun Ce's dispatch of troops reached Gaoping successively.

The Xiliang camp, the Chinese military camp!
Jia Xu's face was dignified, and he hurried into the military tent, and bowed to Luo Zheng: "My lord!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said: "Wenhe is visiting late at night, is there something important?"

Jia Xu said: "I just received an urgent report from General Zhao Yun that Liu Qi, King of Chu, and Sun Ce of Jiangdong sent troops at the same time to attack Nanyang and Runan. Cao Cao has already formed an alliance with Sun Ce."

"what?"

Luo Zheng was taken aback, and Huo Di stood up, "Has Liu Qi sent troops?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Exactly!"

Luo Zheng couldn't believe it and said: "Where does Liu Qi have the courage to touch this general's tiger beard?"

Jia Xu said: "Of course Liu Qi doesn't have the guts to offend the lord Huwei, but now the military power in Jingzhou belongs to Liu Bei. What Liu Bei did."

Luo Zhengdao: "What's going on with Sun Ce, how could he form an alliance with Cao A?"

Jia Xu said: "The matter is already obvious. Most of this matter is related to Cao Cao. It must be that Cao Cao sent someone to discuss an alliance with Sun Ce and Liu Qi. Sun Ce and Liu Bei don't want to see the lord enter the Central Plains and the family dominates. That's why we sent troops to contain our army, so that Cao Cao could breathe a sigh of relief, and even work together to drive our army out of the Central Plains!"

"Drive this general out of the Central Plains?"

Luo Zheng laughed angrily, "I have been waiting for this opportunity for several years, the general, Sun Ce and Liu Bei's sandals also want to be an enemy of this general, and I really don't know how to live or die. Especially Liu Bei, this guy If the general doesn’t go to attack Jingzhou, he should burn incense, but he dares to come here to provoke this general, I think his birthday is too long to hang himself.”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Now that Bei and Sun Ce have dispatched troops, the situation in the Central Plains has changed, and we need to find ways to deal with it. Although General Zhao Yun is good at fighting, the rest of the generals are not capable of fighting alone, and they are not enough to deal with Liu Bei, Liu Bei, and Liu Bei. Sun Ce has two armies."

Luo Zheng frowned: "What does Wen He mean?"

Jia Xu murmured: "Yanzhou has not yet been settled, and General Gao Shun is temporarily unable to lead his army south. If the invading soldiers of Liu Bei and Sun Ce are not repelled as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be long nights and many dreams, and our army's plan to take control of the Central Plains will be affected. The factors are as follows I thought that my lord should personally lead the army to go south, defeat Sun Ce and Liu Bei with a forceful force, and then return to the army to wipe out the two prefectures of Yanyu and advance eastward to Xuzhou."

"No, Cao Aman will die no matter what!"

Luo Zheng flatly refused, and finally blocked Cao A in Gaoping, how could he let the tiger go back to the mountain again.

Compared with Cao A concealing this great disaster, Luo Zheng still doesn't put Sun Ce and Liu Bei in his eyes.

As long as Cao Aman can be eliminated, mere Sun Ce and Liu Bei are nothing.

Although Luo Zheng has never underestimated Sun Ce and Liu Bei, no matter how much these two jump around, they cannot be compared with Cao Aman, the confidant. As long as Cao Aman can be killed, Luo Zheng has absolute confidence to clean up this person.

"My lord, the general situation is the most important thing!"

Jia Xu persuaded: "Cao Cao's defeat has been decided. Even if you go to Xuzhou, you will be like a toothless tiger without soldiers and horses. General Gao Shun can do the siege of Cao Cao. There is really no need for my lord to continue to spend here. If Nanyang , If there is a loss in Yuzhou, our army's strategic plan to enter the Central Plains will be hindered, and Cao Cao will take advantage of the situation to counterattack. As long as Liu Bei and Sun Ce can be repelled, Cao Cao will survive. Sooner or later, it will all belong to the lord."

"This……"

Luo Zheng was stunned, frowning and thinking.

Fa Zheng, who just arrived, listened for a while, and said: "My lord, I also agree with the opinion of the military advisor!"

Luo Zheng thought about it for a while before sighing: "Forget it, where is Gao Shun's army now?"

Fazheng replied, "I just arrived at Dingtao!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said solemnly: "Let the Gao Shun speed army come."

"As ordered!"

Fazheng agreed and discussed some details before he and Jia Xu left the Chinese army tent.

Ten days later, Gao Shun personally led [-] army commanders to drive more than [-] li to Changyi, and broke through Shanyang County on the way.

At this time, Zhao Yun had once again dispatched a quick horse to send the military report that Nanyang has a strong city, Wancheng, to defend. After Zhao Yun received the news of Liu Bei's dispatch of troops, he immediately sent General Chuan Lingbao to lead [-] troops to Nanyang to guard Wancheng. Nothing yet.

But Runan had no danger to defend, and Sun Ce had won many battles, and within ten days he had reached Pingyu.

Xiliang Xiao general Cheng Yi underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. He was ambushed by Sun Ce and beheaded by Tai Shici. The [-] army was also killed and dispersed. Zhao Yun guarded Xuchang and dared not leave lightly. He urgently asked General Luo Zheng to come to command the troops, otherwise Not enough to defend Sun Ce.

Luo Zheng didn't dare to delay any longer, and after hastily confessing a few words to Gao Shun, he personally led [-] cavalrymen from Xiliang to the south at starry night. In order to prevent Cao A from escaping, he left [-] cavalrymen for Gao Shun as a precautionary measure.
