We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Outside Xuchang City.

Cao Cao personally led an army of 150,000 people and marched westward from Xuchang.

In less than half a day, the army had already marched thirty miles away.

At this time, the 150,000-strong army looked like a long dragon from a distance.

The black Cao flag fluttered in the wind.

Xuchang is not very far from Wancheng. Even if the march is slow, it will only take a day or two.

The army marched westward, and Cao Cao's goal in the first battle was to pull out the nail in Wancheng.

With half a million troops on this trip, Cao Cao was so satisfied that he didn't know how to lose.

He led an army of 150,000 people and planned to march to Wancheng first.

Xiahou Dun followed his orders and led the remaining 350,000 troops to march from another route to Sili Chang'an and other places.

At this time, Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed Cao Cao, one on the left and one on the right.

Xun You, Cheng Yu and others were not far behind Cao Cao.

Because Jueying had given it to Xi Yu a long time ago, Cao Cao was riding his other favorite horse, Huang Feidian.

This horse is tall and majestic, and its body is orange. It looks quite powerful from a distance.

Cao Cao was sitting on it, not much shorter than Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

"Dian Wei, you will follow me in this battle. If there is a war, I will rely on you!"

Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei and comforted Dian Wei.

The latter laughed innocently and nodded.

Xu Chu didn't have any objections.

Since he followed Cao Cao, he has made many achievements, large and small.

Dian Wei is Mr. Xi's bodyguard after all, and Cao Cao's bodyguard is only him after all.

The army moves forward.

Cao Cao looked at the surrounding fields with some emotion.

It has been more than eight years since he first dispersed his family wealth from Chen Liu and raised an army.

From the prefect of Dongjun, to the pastor of Yanzhou, and now occupying the land of two states, he is ingratiating himself with the emperor such as Xuchang.

These eight years seemed to Cao Cao like a blink of an eye.

But now, sitting on the land of two states, he also has the title of emperor.

He has already begun to have the ability to change the general trend of the world.

In this battle, if we can capture all the land in Guanzhong and connect it horizontally, then the rest of the matter will only be between the north and the south.

Cao Cao was shaken.

The breeze is blowing slowly at this moment, which is cool.

It's good weather for marching.

He didn't say much to Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Behind them, Xun You and Cheng Yu were discussing something in a low voice, but Cao Cao didn't care.

Not long after, suddenly a scout came to report that there was a horse coming from the direction of Xuchang.

After hearing the report, Cao Cao, Xun You and others were a little confused.

This army has just set out not long ago, why is there a horse coming from Xuchang?

It's a wonder what happened.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao led the army to continue to advance. He, Dian Wei and others slowly followed behind the army.

The speed has slowed down.

Not long after, Cao Cao looked back, and sure enough, within his line of sight, there was a dark shadow in the distance, vaguely speeding towards this side.

As the black shadow got closer and closer, Cao Cao quickly recognized it.

That is Jueying.

After all, it was one of his favorite mounts. When he gave it to Xi Yu, he was still somewhat reluctant to part with it.

Seeing Jueying appear now, Cao Cao reacted instantly.

Anyone who can ride Jueying here at this time must be Xiyu.

Sure enough, as he approached, Xi Yu's figure was reflected in the eyes of Cao Cao and others.

"Fengyi?"

About ten feet away, Cao Cao shouted towards Xi Yu.

Hearing the sound of Taoism, he immediately reined in his horse and stamped his feet.

"Brother!"

After seeing that Cao Cao and others were waiting for him, Xi Yu was not surprised at all.

The army marched out, and there were spies in all directions.

Cao Cao and others knew that he was chasing him from Xuchang, which was normal.

Before Xi Yu could speak, Cao Cao in front of him had already dismounted.

"Fengyi, why are you here?"

After getting off the horse, Cao Cao asked with a smile, and then a smile appeared on his face as if he thought of something.

It's hard to say that Xi Yu plans to go on the expedition with him this time?

Has this guy finally realized that he is actually a peerless divine general?

Cao Cao was a little happy, and the smile on his face became a little fuller.

Cheng Yu, Xun You and others didn't feel that way. They just thought that maybe Xi Yu had something important that he forgot to mention, so they caught up with him.

Dian Wei beside him was also a little confused.

However, at this time, he did not follow suit.

Xi Yu then dismounted, then looked at the surrounding fields, walked in front of Cao Cao in two or three steps, and then took a deep breath.

"Brother, I suddenly remembered something and forgot my instructions!"

Xi Yu thought for a moment, then paused and continued.

"This time in Wancheng, brother must not put himself in a trap. This time there are Zixiu and others following you, brother, please be more cautious!"

Well!

Cao Cao was a little stunned.

He originally thought that Xi Yu rushed over because he wanted to go on the expedition with him.

You can imagine that the other party caught up with you, but just wanted to tell you to be careful.

There's nothing to be careful about.

Cao Cao has fought many battles for so many years.

What's more, there are 150,000 troops on the side this time. Isn't it easy to attack a mere Wancheng?

In Cao Cao's view, Xi Yu's worries were completely unnecessary.

"Fengyi, you came after me like this just to remind me about this?"

Cao Cao didn't take it seriously and asked casually.

Xi Yu nodded instinctively, and seeing that there was nothing else, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.

This boy Fengyi is really too cautious!

Thinking like this, Cao Cao reached up and slapped Xi Yu's chest.

"You kid, you think too much!"

"Although he has superior force, Cao naturally still has some concerns about fighting."

"In this battle, I will let Fengyi see what it means to be able to fight in the blink of an eye!"

Cao Cao was confident, but Xi Yu was speechless.

I know you are good at war.

However, what I am worried about is not whether you will fight or not, but whether you can control your legs.

This matter has nothing to do with strategy.

With 150,000 people, Wancheng is nothing.

Any general who can lead troops in battle will feel as if his victory in capturing Wancheng was for nothing.

It's just that you, Lao Cao, are in danger yourself!

Not only did he lead thousands of guards into the city, he also had to sleep with his aunt in the middle of the night.

This kind of thing is simply seeking death.

There was no way to say this directly, Xi Yu felt helpless.

"Brother, since you are leading the troops in battle, you should do the same thing as leading the troops in battle. I know that my brother is charming, so don't do anything unnecessary this time!"

This can only be said so far.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, good fellow, I am romantic, and your boy is not much different from me.

Teenage girls are already living in your house, how can you do that?

"Okay, it's righteous and rest assured. If you don't believe it, I will make a bet with you today!"

"Just bet that I can easily win Wancheng in this battle!"

Cao Cao was full of confidence. When Xi Yu heard this, he just shook his head.

"I hope brother can win!"

At this time, the shadow of the army was already fading away, and the two of them said nothing more.

Cao Cao got back on his horse, nodded towards Xi Yu, and then planned to catch up with the army again.

Cheng Yu and others only looked at Xi Yu's words.

Xi Yu looked at Dian Wei, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

What needs to be warned has already been said.

Talking too much will only cause trouble.

Watching Cao Cao and others go away again, Xi Yu turned around and rode Jueying back to Xuchang.

At the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, Xi Yu returned to Xuchang City.

At this time, he did not return to the government office, but turned around and returned to the theater alone.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Guo Jia coming over at some point.

Currently, Fang Zheng and Xi Zhicai are sitting in the pavilion, with Xun Yu and Huang Zhong beside them.

Four people formed a table of mahjong in a very strange way.

Seeing Xi Yu return.

Huang Zhong stood up from the table and stool immediately.

The husband finally came back, and playing mahjong with the three people in front of him was a huge test for Huang Zhong.

No matter it is Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, or Xun Yu, these three people are not on the same path as him. He is just a general.

And the three people in front of them are now the top team of smart people in Dahan.

Four people were playing mahjong. He could understand the words spoken by these three people, but he couldn't understand a single word spoken by Lian Cheng.

Huang Zhong was just dragged to gather the number of people, and the three of them couldn't win his money.

But for fun, it’s really uncomfortable.

"gentlemen!"

Huang Zhong stood up and shouted to Xi Yu, then tried to leave as if running away.

Xi Yu nodded toward the other party, then looked at Guo Jia and the others.

These three people can now drag Huang Zhong to play mahjong, but they are really boring.

Seeing that the three of them didn't stand up, Xi Yu walked over and sat in Huang Zhong's original position.

At this time, Guo Jia raised his eyes and looked at Xi Yu.

"came back!"

Xi Yu didn't respond, and Xun Yu beside him also shook his head.

"Fengyi, although we are Ming Gong's advisers, Ming Gong's own military strategy is no worse than mine!"

"I can't imagine what could go wrong in this battle. I think you are too cautious!"

Xi Yu didn't respond, just followed the number cards on the table.

"This is the first time I've seen Xi Yu be so cautious, which is strange!"

Guo Jia chuckled.

If Xi Yu hadn't already married two wives, he would have thought that Xi Yu was in love with Cao Cao!

"Touch yourself, it's all clear!"

Xi Yu smoothly pushed the mahjong in front of him, and the three people in front of him were obviously stunned for a moment.

They are all smart people. Although they talk with their mouths, they know things like counting cards in their hearts.

I never thought that Xi Yu's luck would be so good.

"It's boring. Playing cards with you is no fun at all!"

Xi Yu curled his lips, then looked at Xun Yu: "Brother Wen Ruo, when did you learn from these two people to be so leisurely?"

"And you, Guo Fengxiao, look at you, your face is so pale. The girls in the brothel are not as pale as you!"

"You will die sooner or later if you continue like this!"

"Xi, you are no better off. This guy Guo Fengxiao is holding you back, so just go. He doesn't want his life, and you don't want your life either!"

"Tomorrow, I will bury you two in the same grave, and then put wine in front of your graves..."

Xiyu opened his mouth and spoke towards the three of them.

At this time, all three of them were a little numb!

"Boring, boring!"

Guo Jia stood up, probably unable to bear it, turned around and walked out, and Xun Yu followed suit.

Xi Zhicai froze in place, neither walking nor sitting.

Xi Yu didn't bother to pay attention to the three of them. After getting up, he walked directly to the side room where Huang Zhong was.

After thinking about it, he still felt a little unsafe!

If we count the days, it will take a day or two for Cao Cao to arrive at Wancheng before Zhang Xiu surrenders. During this period, the two sides will still have to negotiate to some extent.

Things are not urgent, but the preparations that need to be made must still be made.

Now the supply camp followed the army on the expedition, but Huang Zhong did not follow.

Xi Yu plans to take Huang Zhong to Wancheng in two days. If something important happens, he will be close enough to prepare for it.

Think about it.

Nothing more than a few days!

After meeting Huang Zhong, Xi Yu checked Huang Xu's current situation.

Nowadays, newspapers and periodicals in Han Dynasty have published news about finding famous doctors, even Zhang Zhongjing.

I don’t know that the other party has not seen the newspaper.

I can’t say whether I will come to Xuchang or not!

But in the newspaper, Xi Yu warned that there would be news about looking for Zhang Zhongjing in every issue.

Xi Yu thought that once the other party sees it, he will come after all.

After all, whoever finds himself being searched for in the newspaper every day is probably a little curious.

Huang Xu's situation is now considered stable.

As long as there are no accidents, it is not a big problem to last for a few years.

"Old Huang, get ready in the next two days and follow me to Wancheng!"

He said something to Huang Zhong, but the latter didn't have any objection at all. He nodded and agreed.

…

Xi Yu was thinking about going to Wancheng to take a look in two days, but Cao Cao didn't take what he said before to heart.

That night.

Cao Cao led his army to stop near a branch of the Feishui River.

"I didn't expect Fengyi to be more and more cautious recently!"

Cao Cao was sitting in the tent, thinking that Xi Yu came here on horseback today just to tell him to be careful.

This matter really made him a little confused about how to evaluate it!

Although he clearly possesses unparalleled military power and is extremely resourceful and resourceful, Xi Yu has never acted arrogantly.

Logically speaking, if he were the other party, he would be crazy to the sky.

Lu Bu believed that he was strong in military force. When he was outside Hulao Pass, he had no regard for the princes of the world.

However, Xi Fengyi is completely different.

This time, this guy was even more cautious, which even Cao Cao felt was a little too much.

"Fengyi is just worried about Mr. Ming!"

Cheng Yu smiled on the side.

Xun You didn't say much. He had simulated this battle in his mind dozens of times before.

All I can say is that there is basically no possibility of losing!

The weather, the right location, the right people, and Cao Jun all took advantage of it.

How could it be possible to lose?

At this moment, the atmosphere in Cao Cao's tent could be described as relaxed.

at the same time.

On the other side, Wancheng seemed to be filled with sorrowful clouds.

After Cao Cao, who was so proud, threatened to lead an army of 500,000 people to go to war, Zhang Xiu could not sit still or sleep peacefully.

The newspapers of the Han Dynasty directly labeled him as a traitor.

It is said that Cao Cao's battle was based on the emperor's order to attack Buchen!

Although he didn't have much respect for the imperial court, among the princes in the world, who would take the emperor seriously?

You, Cao Cao, didn't even look for anyone else, but you led an army of 150,000 people and came directly to me.

Zhang Xiu felt a little bitter!

He didn't know how to deal with it.

He followed his uncle in leading troops from Guanzhong to the border of Jingzhou. The attack on Rangcheng failed, and Zhang Ji died due to a stray arrow. From then on, he took over Zhang Ji's army.

Later, he had no choice but to make peace with Liu Biao and stationed troops in Wancheng, temporarily relying on Liu Biao.

This time, he settled here and did not think about attacking other places.

He never even thought about attacking Cao Cao.

Although Xuchang is not far away.

But today's Cao Cao, who is sitting on the land of two states, is not something ordinary people can provoke.

He chose to attack Xuchang because he was not mentally ill.

Unless he was forced to a dead end, he would never want to go against Cao Cao.

However, he didn't expect that even if he didn't provoke others, someone would still keep an eye on him.

Is it just because of Wancheng’s geographical factors?

Now Cao Cao's army has set off!

Wancheng Tanma replied that the opponent's army was less than a day away from Wancheng.

If you dare to do it on the third day, you will definitely have troops approaching the city.

How can Wancheng resist the 150,000-strong army?

Zhang Xiu was a little confused. He knew in his heart that the best choice now was to surrender to the other party.

However, self-reliance and surrender to others are two different concepts after all.

By relying on Liu Biao, he still had the right to stand on his own feet.

However, after surrendering to Cao Cao, he would be unable to help himself.

Now that the world is in turmoil, Zhang Xiu also has some ambitions in his heart.

I heard that Sun Ce from Jiangdong was already starting to gain momentum.

Zhang Xiu considered himself no worse than Sun Ce.

You haven't made a name for yourself yet, but you have to face such mass creation!

Unable to figure it out, Zhang Xiu could only find someone who could help him make suggestions, and within Wancheng.

There is such a person, Zhang Xiu knows, and the other party's strategy is not much worse than the rumored Xi Fengyi in the world.

This person was Jia Xu, who had been following the Xiliang army. Later, there were suggestions that Li Jue, Guo Si and others attack Chang'an, and one person made the world situation turbulent.

This time Zhang Xiu stationed troops in Wancheng and Liu Biao were allies of each other, and it was Jia Xu who admonished him.

That night.

Zhang Xiu met Jia Xu.

At this moment, Jia Xu seemed to have guessed that Zhang Xiu would come, without any surprise.

"Meet the general!"

Jia Xu smiled and greeted him!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiu felt helpless.

"Mr. Wenhe, what should I do now?"

Jia Xu had a smile on his face, but Zhang Xiu couldn't smile at all.

The 150,000-strong army was not far away. He had sent several reports to Liu Biao in succession, but until now, he had not yet received a reply from him.

Although he and Liu Biao were in alliance, he was ultimately the weaker party.

Jia Xu raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiu.

"General, Cao's army is very powerful this time, and I have warned you not to fight with them. So surrendering the city this time is not an option!"

Surrender the city?

this?

Zhang Xiu himself knew it, but Jia Xu was more direct.

He also knew that in the current situation, he didn't have much choice.
