Chapter 259

Hua Mulan fed a chicken leg into her husband's mouth, just like taking care of a child.

Su Xiaoxiao and Zhen Mi seem to be used to such sweet behavior, but Cai Yan feels very uncomfortable.

It is true that husband and wife can raise their eyebrows, but such intimacy really makes people feel uncomfortable.

Han Wu smiled happily and ate it directly.

Hua Mulan and Su Xiao didn't eat much, they just looked at her husband happily.

……

That afternoon
After soaking in the bathtub for noon, Han Wu took another afternoon nap before bringing Hua Mulan to the state pastoral mansion.

Xun You is already waiting here, and he has the latest battle report in his hand.

Seeing Xun You's smile, Han Wu said directly, "Dingtao Chengguan is a great victory, and General Meng Gong has already captured Dingtao Chengguan."

"As for the Hetao Plain, the situation there is more troublesome, and it should not be taken down yet."

Hearing that the lord had guessed the Dingtao Chengguan victory, Xun You nodded in admiration.

"My lord is shrewd. Dingtao City Pass was a great victory. General Meng Gong has indeed conquered Dingtao City Pass."

"Yuan Shao's general Chunyu Qiong was killed, and the entire Dingtao City has been captured."

"only……"

Xun You hesitated at the end, but Han Wu laughed out loud.

"Hahaha! It's just that the walls of Dingtao City have completely collapsed. That Chunyuqiong must have been crushed to death, right?"

"Dingtao City is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The city wall is tall. Meng Gong burned it with kerosene and then quickly extinguished it with cold water. This is enough to make the city wall of Dingtao City as brittle as thin ice."

Xun You was surprised that the lord had already guessed this point, and he was filled with admiration.

Han Wu smiled calmly, and continued: "General Meng Gong's method is indeed subtle, but it is not a long-term solution."

"We can't use this method in all sieges, or the enemy will learn it and use it on ourselves."

"Also, from now on, the extra money and food will be used to build the outer city of Ye City, in preparation for the future."

"Yecheng is still too small, and the city walls are not too tall. It should be expanded."

Han Wu just took advantage of Meng Gong's opportunity to conquer Dingtao, and expressed his plan to expand Yecheng.

Although Yecheng was considered a big city, it was nothing compared to Chang'an and Luoyang.

If one day he needs to become emperor, this little city of Ye will be a bit out of place.

Xun You is very smart, he naturally knows what the lord is thinking.

But this kind of thing can't be said nonsense now, he kept silent about it.

Moreover, the expansion of Yecheng is also Liu Ye's business, and has nothing to do with him Xun You.

"Well! Pay attention to the war in the Hetao area. Recently, it is not peaceful there."

"At the same time, a letter telling General Chen Qingzhi to lead the white-robed army to continue northward and wipe out the Southern Huns as much as possible."

"Even if it is difficult to wipe out the Southern Huns, it is still possible to make them go south without any troops."

"Over in Youzhou, tell Zhang Yan not to go into arms without permission, and just beware of Goguryeo."

After setting up the plan for this period of time, Han Wu stood up and took Hua Mulan directly out of the state pastoral mansion.

On the official road of Guangling County, Xuzhou, Zhang Xun's army continued to advance and was already approaching Cao Cao's camp.

But Zhang Xun couldn't move forward, and he was retreating a little now.

Because not only Cao Cao's army is waiting in full force, but Liu Bei and Lu Bu's troops are already surrounding them!
Originally, Zhang Xun thought that Lu Bu attacked Guangling County, and he and Liu Bei had a deadlock.

Therefore, Zhang Xun took this opportunity to quickly go north, and decided to defeat Cao Cao first.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would fall into the trap and be surrounded by three armies instead.

"General, what should we do now? We are already surrounded, I'm afraid our entire army will be wiped out today!"

Zhang Xun's deputy general asked nervously, but he was not afraid of death.

Now Zhang Xun's subordinates are all elite soldiers, and they are not afraid of death.

Among them are eight thousand Danyang elite soldiers, which are part of Yuan Shu's hole cards!

Zhang Xun said calmly, "Hey! We have [-] elite Danyang soldiers and less than [-] elite Yangzhou soldiers. Don't be afraid of anything!"

"Cao Cao has [-] paces, but he'd better get rid of him. Let's attack Cao Cao as much as possible."

"Liu Bei has three brave generals under his command, we can't fight head-on with them."

"If we can use [-] elite troops to defeat Cao Cao's army, wear down Liu Bei's Danyang elite soldiers, and restrain Lu Bu at the same time, then His Majesty will be able to take this opportunity to go north and conquer Guangling County."

"Even if we die here, what's the matter?"

Zhang Xun was very excited, he was Yuan Shu's diehard loyalist.

The lieutenant also nodded slightly, agreeing with the general's words.

Although Yuan Shu is ambitious, there are still many loyal people under his command.

"Tell the soldiers, prepare to charge!"

"Kill as many soldiers under Cao Cao's command as possible!"

Zhang Xun ordered directly, and the army began to beat the drums.

Xiahou Dun, who was two miles away, heard Zhang Xun beating the drum, and he snorted angrily.

"Hmph! Liu Xuande and Lu Fengxian are really unreliable, they both harbor evil intentions."

"It's really impossible to let them take the lead, it seems that we can only come by ourselves!"

"Zihe, let your tiger and leopard cavalry take the lead and disperse Zhang Xun's army."

"Don't think about killing a few more soldiers under Zhang Xun's command. They are all Danyang elite soldiers and are difficult to deal with. Once trapped, the tiger and leopard cavalry will not be able to get out. Your cavalry is not suitable for positional warfare."

After Cao Chun heard what his clan brother said, he nodded and smiled.

"Soldiers, prepare to charge!"

Cao Chun roared, and the tiger and leopard riders under his command shouted and charged forward.

The army under Zhang Xun's command was also charging, and two thousand cavalry led the charge.

Cao Chun was not afraid at all, he directly led his troops to face him.

The cavalry's charge contest is all about the soldiers' reflexes and physical strength.

Of course, there is also a part of the general's momentum.

Lu Bu, who was watching the battle on the flanking hills not far away, snorted and said, "Wen Yuan, in terms of leading the cavalry, the young general on Cao Cao's side is not inferior to you!"

"However, his martial arts should be far inferior to yours, but his riding skills are not weak."

After Zhang Liao heard Lu Bu's words, he squinted his eyes and observed that the cavalry under Cao Cao's command were indeed unusual.

"This is Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, the only hole card in his hand. But compared with our Bingzhou wolf cavalry, it is still far behind."

Hearing Zhang Liao's confidence in the Bingzhou Wolf Riders, Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! Wen Yuan, I want you to lead troops not to care too much about casualties, but to charge more bravely!"

"To lead the Bingzhou Wolf Rider, you must have the spirit of not fearing death. You are too cautious, even if you steal the camp."

"Show a violent aura when you charge, just like that general Cao Jun, that's enough."

Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and pointed at Cao Chun, who had already led his troops into the enemy's formation, and asked Zhang Liao to learn more.

Although Zhang Liao was well versed in the art of war, he was not good enough in charging bravely.

If he can lead the charge perfectly alone, Lu Bu thinks that he can safely hand over the Bingzhou Wolf Rider to him.
