King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 377

"How magnificent!" Cao Cao praised sincerely after watching a cup of tea.

"Hehe" Guo Jia smiled, stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Is my lord happy, or is he afraid?"

"Hey!" Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia.He sneered, "I'm thinking, after defeating Liu He, what should I do with these hundreds of thousands of captives!"

"My lord is so brave!" Guo Jia praised with a smile. Although Cao Cao said that he was not afraid of Liu He's many generals, when Cao Cao saw the hundreds of miles of camps with his own eyes, he gasped.

"Tsk tsk..." Guo Jia sighed as he watched the black smoke rising from Liu He's camp. "There is a saying in the book that in the ancient city of Linzi, its people stood shoulder to shoulder, worked hand in hand, and sweated profusely. Now that Liu He leads this army, it is no less inferior. If this battle is successful, the name of the soldiers will last forever, across the past and present! After that, Guo Jia secretly looked at Cao Cao's expression.

"Fengxiao? Can you tell me about your plan?" Cao Cao asked.

"Haha! My lord, if you tell the truth about this trick, how can it be considered a clever trick?" Guo Jia laughed.

Cao Cao snorted softly, "I knew..."

Guo Jia's face tightened, and said, "My lord, the most important thing right now is the food and grass, and I don't know what to do next..."

Cao Cao raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, Fengxiao, Gongda has made all the arrangements. Fengxiao only needs to think about defeating the enemy..."

Guo Jia shook his head and sighed inwardly, if this is really what the lord said...it would be great...

"I'm recharging my energy to wait for this moment! Let's see how I can break him!" Cao Cao looked coldly at Liu He's camp that stretched for more than a hundred miles, and said sonorously, "It's useless to look again, let's go!" , Regardless of others, return to the camp alone.

"Military teacher!" Xu Zhu glanced at Cao Cao who was walking in front, frowned and said to Guo Jia in a low voice, "Didn't my lord come to check on Liu He's camp? Why is it that after only a few glances, my lord wants to go back?"

"Hehe..." Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said lightly, "My lord, how can we understand it? Maybe the lord has a countermeasure in mind?"

"Oh..." Xu Dai scratched his head.He nodded with a vague understanding.

Looking intently at Cao Cao who was not far in front of him, Guo Jia secretly sighed, "My lord, you are afraid that if you watch it any longer, you will lose all fighting spirit in your heart. What tricks do I have... If I said that, I am afraid that the lord would have been frightened..."

At the same time, in Liu He's camp, Liu He was discussing the military situation with Sima Lang, Tian Chou, and Wei You in the tent at the moment. The topic of discussion was still the one a few days ago, how to forcefully cross the Yellow River!

"Master!" Looking at Liu He bowing his hands and nodding to Sima Lang, Wei You said in a deep voice, "My lord, I have found out the distribution of Cao Mengde's military strength!"

"Oh?" Liu He was a little moved, and hurriedly said, "Aiqing, tell me quickly!"

"Yes!" Wei You bowed his hands.Pointing to the map, he said, "Cao Mengde has set up six camps along the Yellow River. Apart from his main camp, there are still five camps along the Yellow River, which are guarded by five strong generals under Cao Mengde's command. They are all in dangerous places. It's very tricky to form a line and defend each other!" As he spoke, he picked up six sunspots and placed them on the marching map.

"Which five?" Liu He looked carefully at the six sunspots on the marching map representing Cao Jun's camp, and asked in a concentrated voice.

"Xiahou Miaocai, Xiahou Yuanrang, Li Mancheng, Le Wenqian, and Yu Wenze, these are the five generals of the Cao army!" Wei You said respectfully.

"It's tricky, it's tricky! In the first battle in Xuzhou, these five people were no weaker against Lu Fengxian. It's really tricky!" Liu He nodded, looked at Wei You suddenly and said, "A few days ago, you said that this battle is a Cao Cao led the army himself, and Guo Jia was his advisor, but Xun You, who plotted against us last time, never came?"

"No!" Wei You shook his head.Said in a deep voice, "I heard that Cao Mengde ordered Xun You to take charge of the affairs of the three states and personally lead the troops here. I think Xun You may have to deal with things in the south!"

"Aiqing is talking about Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Sun Lai in Jiangdong, and Ma Teng in Liangzhou?" Sima Lang interrupted with a smile.

"That's right!" Wei You nodded and said with a smile, "The war between the three parties is not over yet, and the princes of the three routes have no less than one hundred thousand soldiers. It’s hard to do anything, Lord, rest assured!”

"Well, it's so good!" Liu He nodded happily.

After defeating Cao Mengde, can Xun Gongda, Guo Fengxiao and others still run away?Wouldn't it be overkill for such a genius to be given to Meng De?He must be forced to submit to me!At that time, even if this Li Lin is being praised by the world, he will still be no match for a resourceful man like me!snort!I am determined to take revenge!

"Hehe..." However, when Liu He was dreaming, Sima Lang sneered and said lightly. "My lord underestimated Xun You, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, Liu Ye and others too much!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Wei You frowned.

"These people are really far-sighted, with all kinds of good strategies in their hearts!" Sima Lang praised hesitantly, pointing to Huainan and other places on the map and said, "I heard that at this moment! Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong no longer care about Cao Cao. Instead, they attacked each other. Cao Cao used an insidious strategy to separate the two. Sun Ce had a vengeance with Liu Biao for killing his father. He and Liu Biao attacked each other, and as far as I know, the Runan County in Cao Cao's hands, after Cao Cao's many years of management, Runan, which was originally an important place, has become even more important! You can enter Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and retreat It can protect Yuzhou and Chongzhou, and as long as Liu Biao and Sun Ce don't unite, Cao Cao will certainly be able to protect the south!"

After Liu He heard this, he praised, "Boda is really clever! He used his power to break the morale of Cao's army before, and now he has a high-level argument. Surely he has a strategy to defeat the enemy?"

"Hehe" Sima Lang bowed modestly, and said softly, "This is due to the strength of the Lord's army, and it is the contribution of the millions of soldiers under the Lord's tent. What does it have to do with Yu? What I did was just to make the best use of the situation!"

"Military division high theory!" Wei You cupped his hands and smiled slightly, and then asked with a puzzled expression, "Military division, I have a question in my mind, but I don't know whether to ask it or not!"

"My lord, please show me!" Sima Lang stretched out his hand.

"We are waiting for the army to cross the Yellow River. The military adviser proposed to the lord to build a pontoon bridge. However, this move should be a secret, but the military adviser made a big fanfare and cut down the forest here in front of Cao Cao. This is not telling us all what we think. Cao Mengde?" Wei You asked doubtfully
"Hehe..." Sima Lang smiled faintly.Playfully said, "I just want to let him know!"

"Huh?" Liu He looked at Sima Lang suspiciously, frowned and said, "Boda, why are you doing this?"

"Don't worry, my lord!" Looking at Liu He, Sima Lang said confidently, "In three days, I will definitely let my lord cross the Yellow River!"

"What?" Liu He and Wei You looked at each other, both of them didn't understand what was wrong...

"Report..." When Cao Cao and Guo Jia were discussing countermeasures in the tent.A Cao soldier rushed in, clasped his fists and said. "My lord, General Le Jin is back!"

"Wen Qian is back?" Cao Cao got up abruptly, waved his big hand and shouted in a low voice, "Tell him to come and see me quickly!"

No wonder Cao Cao was so anxious, since Le Jin led [-] soldiers to search downstream since yesterday, but there has been no news so far, how can this not make Cao Cao frightened and angry?
"Deng Deng..." With the sound of hurried footsteps, Le Jin strode into the tent with a spear in his hand, clasped his fists and called out, "The general will delay the time to return to the camp, I hope the lord will forgive me!"

However, Cao Cao was looking at Le Jin in amazement at this moment, and the doubts and anger in his heart had long since disappeared.

I saw that Le Jin's battle armor was damaged and covered with knife marks, and his white cloak was now stained red with blood, and it was still dripping with blood at this moment.
"Wen Qian...you...?" Cao Cao was shocked.Hurriedly stepped forward to support Le Jin, looked Le Jin up and down and said, "Why is this happening? Is Wen Qian seriously injured? Come here, get something to wrap your wound quickly!"

"Thank you, my lord, I have never been injured!" Seeing Cao Cao's concern, Le Jin felt a little grateful, clasped his fists and said tiredly, "My lord, at one o'clock last night, I will be patrolling the shoals in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and I am about to return to the camp to hand over the order. , but found that there was a group of Liu He soldiers and horses who wanted to cross the Yellow River by force in the dark.

"Follow the matter urgently, how can I blame you!" Cao Cao patted Le Jin on the shoulder, but seeing Le Jin's body soften, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, his eyes touched Le Jin's back, and his face was immediately moved.

"The general said just now... Liu He really sent people to smuggle downstream?" Guo Jia came back to his senses, his complexion changed slightly.asked anxiously. "How many soldiers and horses have come? Which general will lead the army?"

Glancing at Cao Cao apologetically, Le Jin took a breath and forced himself to stand up straight. He clasped his fists and said solemnly, "There are about [-] soldiers and horses, most of them are spearmen and crossbowmen. They are led by Zhang Yan's General Du himself!"

"Yu Du..." Guo Jia murmured.Looking at Le Jin, he asked in a tight voice, "Has the general ever repelled this army?"

Cao Cao's eyes tightened immediately, and he said inwardly, if Liu He was asked to cross the Yellow River, it would be difficult...

"I don't live up to my expectations!" Le Jin nodded, then knocked on one knee, cupped his fists and said in a loud voice, "The final general will break all the three thousand soldiers and horses that the lord granted him! He told Yu Du to run away, and I hope the lord will punish him!"

"It's more than ten thousand with three thousand! It's not easy to repel!" Cao Cao carefully helped Le Jin up.Patting him on the shoulder to comfort him, he was suddenly taken aback, and said in astonishment, "Wen Qian, you just said that you told him to run away from Yu Du?"

"Yes!" Le Jin nodded!He said affirmatively, "It's true that the last general is surrounded by all the enemy troops. It's really hard for the last general to pursue!" Seemingly moved, Cao Cao looked down at the place where Le Jin was standing, and there was a big pool of blood...
