Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 646

"Report! Cao Cao led an army of 30 from Xuchang to Hebei!"

In Yecheng, a Jin Yiwei who had been ambushing in Xuchang brought back this heavy news.

"what?"

Liu An, who was originally sitting on the dragon chair, almost didn't fall off, looked at the Jin Yiwei in front of him in shock, and opened his mouth wide: "How many troops do you think Cao Mengde has?"

"Report to His Royal Highness, 30!"

The Jin Yiwei replied again.

"This……!"

Surprised, Liu An turned his attention to Pang Tong and Guo Jia who stayed behind in Yecheng.

Before they could speak, one of them stood up and said, "Brother, don't panic, this Cao thief has been defeated by the king's father many times. He is just a mediocre person. My younger brother is willing to lead troops to resist Cao thief." , if it is possible, I will kill Cao thief! Take advantage of the trend and go south, and join the world for my father!"

Everyone regarded this person as Liu Peng, the second son of Liu Wei, who was born to Tuoya. He was tall and strong, with a strong back and waist, nine feet tall, and his voice was like thunder.

"Second brother, don't underestimate the enemy. Bandit Cao is one of the few people in this world who can be admired by the king. If you underestimate the enemy, it will be too late to regret!"

Liu An didn't dare to be careless, so he asked Liu Peng to retreat first, then turned his head to Guo Jia and the others, and asked, "My lords, you have been leading troops with my father for many years. , do the adults have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

"It's natural!"

Guo Jia cupped his hands to Liu An, and then said: "My lord, although Bandit Cao is powerful, our army is not afraid of him. Although your lord has a good army and simple administration, the rest of our army are all elite soldiers who count as ten. The group of generals who led the expedition to the west were all young generals, although there is a purpose to train them, but the purpose of keeping the veterans is to guard against the Cao bandits!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Yue Xi, who was in the ranks of generals, also said, "What is the meaning of my lord's western expedition without us? It turns out that it is to guard against Cao's bandits!"

"My lord, before the lord's expedition to the west, he ordered me to lead an army against Cao Cao, so let me resist Cao Cao's army!"

Gao Shun, who had always been reticent, stood up and pleaded with Liu An.

"No!"

Yuexi turned his face and said, "I am the general. I should be responsible for the conquest if the prince is not around. Let me do the thing of resisting Cao thief!"

"Yue Yuxiao, you have to fight me for this. Before the prince left, he clearly ordered me to lead my camp to the shore of the Yellow River. You are just helping me. Now you want to take the lead?"

Gao Shun looked at Yue Xi and shouted.

"I'm just outrageous, I'm mad at you, Gao Boping, and the first-rank official crushes people, you say you're mad at people!"

Yue Xi was like a child, shaking his head and tail at Gao Shun, and even made faces to annoy Gao Shun.

This made Tian Feng, an old boner, very angry. He stretched out his hand, pointed at the two of them and shouted: "Stop, all of you. If you are making loud noises in the hall, stop talking to me, no matter how decent it is!"

"Okay! You two don't want to rob. Do you think that either of you can stop Cao Cao's 30 troops?"

Guo Jia looked at the two of them: "Even if the soldiers and horses in your two hands are combined, it may not be able to stop Cao Cao's 30 army, even 30 pigs. If you ask you to chop it, you will not be able to kill it." !"

After Guo Jia reprimanded Yue Xi and Gao Shun, he turned his head and said to Liu An: "Your Highness, if you want to repel the Cao bandits, I'm afraid you need to go to supervise the battle in person, so as to boost the morale of the soldiers. , Stop Cao Cao from crossing the north!"

"It doesn't matter. It's not that I haven't been on the battlefield. I did it a few years ago when I went to battle to kill the enemy!"

When Liu An heard that Guo Jia asked him to go to the front line, he was also excited. First, he could fight the enemy again. Second, he was also quite nervous. After all, Cao Jun had 30 soldiers, and the soldiers Liu Wei left behind for him There are only one hundred thousand horses.

"Master Guo, besides the [-] troops my father left for me, how many soldiers and horses do we have at our disposal?"

Guo Jia looked at Liu An and knew what Liu An was thinking, and then asked, "Oh? My lord, do you think our 30 army is not enough to defeat [-] Cao's army?"

Liu An nodded: "There is a huge disparity in military strength. I'm afraid it will be difficult. If we stick to the city, we still have some chances of winning, but if we go out to fight in the field, I'm afraid we will be defeated by the Cao bandits!"

"Hehe! My lord, there is a saying in the art of war. There are not many soldiers but fine ones. What my lord left you are the elite soldiers of the Hebei Army. With such elite troops, how can you not defeat Cao Bandit!"

Guo Jia asked back.

"But I am not my father, I am not as far-sighted as my father, I am not half as brave as my father, and I am not half as resourceful as my father, so I have concerns!"

Liu An explained.

Guo Jia comforted: "Okay! My lord, since you can see your own shortcomings, you have reached the level of a confidant, and those of us generals who have followed the lord for a long time also know Cao Cao's character well. Having achieved knowing the enemy, we now know ourselves and the enemy, and we are invincible. Cao thief knows your father's strength and his own shortcomings. When fighting the prince, he can also know himself and the enemy. But Cao Cao only knows that there is a prince in Hebei, but he doesn't know Hebei. There is also you, little prince, so you, little prince, have a better chance of winning against Cao thief than the prince and Cao thief!"

"Sure?"

Liu An looked at Guo Jia uncertainly, and still couldn't believe that he could be Cao Cao's opponent.

"Whether you can defeat Cao Cao depends on you, my little prince. If you are full of confidence and well-prepared, Cao Cao will be defeated. If you are here to belittle yourself and wait for Cao Cao to withdraw, then Cao Cao will be defeated in a few days." Come to Yecheng!"

Guo Jia said to Liu An again.

"Okay! The tiger father has dogs and sons. Since the father can defeat Cao thief, why not me!"

Guo Jia's words also aroused Liu An's desire to win, and he immediately ordered Gao Shun to be the vanguard, and with Yuexi, Gao Lan, Dianwei and other generals, he raised an army of [-] to meet Cao Cao in the south.

At this time, Cao Cao also led his army to the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, ordered the soldiers to board the boat, and flew north.

Three days later, the two armies met on the north bank of the Yellow River. The two armies lined up. Cao Cao rode out and asked Liu An, who was on the opposite side, to come out and talk.

And Liu An was very afraid in his heart, so he looked at Guo Jia beside him.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, nodded to Liu An, and said, "Your Majesty, there is no harm in going. You have General Dianwei by your side, so you don't have to be afraid of Thief Cao!"

With Guo Jia as Liu An's backbone, Liu An was no longer afraid, and with Dian Wei's horse under his crotch, he came to the front of the two armies and looked at Cao Cao.
