Chapter 161 Sending Troops (1/2)(1/2)

Lu Bu was always a confidant of Cao Cao.

He owns Xuzhou. Although he is several counties away from Yingchuan, when it comes to threats, Lu Bu's threat is far greater than Zhang Xiu's threat.

Therefore, Cao Cao always wanted to solve Lu Bu, but unfortunately Zhang Xiu was not sure, so he dared not act rashly.

"Lord, now Zhang Xiu is scared and will never dare to offend Yingchuan again.

Liu Biao had long lost his ambition to make progress. After this battle, he would lose his troops and generals and would not threaten his lord again. Now, the only people in Henan can threaten the lord are only two. Lu Bu and Liu Chuang! However, Liu Chuang was on his back and left Yuan Shao. If he sent troops to attack, it would inevitably make Yuan Shao nervous. The land of Qingzhou must not be taken out of trouble. Therefore, the most urgent task is to solve the threat of Lu Bu in Xuzhou."

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao and others submitted memorials to persuade Cao Cao to send troops to attack.

"Fengxiao, do you think the time is ripe?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, lord, I will win this battle."

"But if I attack Lu Bu, Liu Chuang will definitely send troops to rescue him. At that time, the troops will be divided into two groups, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a bad situation."

Cao Cao is now very careful in his actions.

Liu Chuang is no longer the boy he didn't take seriously at all.

Especially in the Battle of Panyang, he defeated Lu Qian's troops and caused Taishan County to lose troops and generals. He has become a person Cao Cao is quite afraid of now.

If not, how could Cao Cao use tricks on him again and again?

His targeting Liu Chuang was also an admission of Liu Chuang... If he was not an opponent, how could he really take Liu Chuang seriously?

Last year, Liu Chuang got married and Guo Jia was humiliated.

However, after returning to Xudu, Guo Jia was very calm.

He first apologized to Cao Cao because of his underestimation of the enemy that Lou Yi was killed by Liu Chuang.

Cao Cao did not blame Guo Jia for this, but instead comforted her. But in his heart, Cao Cao hated Liu Chuang to the core. Lou Yi was his favorite general and had saved his life in Puyang. He had been seriously ill for two years and finally recovered, but he was killed by Liu Chuang...

Liu Chuang killed Lou Yi and even slapped him hard.

Cao Cao later understood that before this, he did underestimate Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang killed Lou Yi, won over Sun Ce from Jiangdong, swept Cao Cao's face, and even expressed his attitude to Yuan Shao in this way.

Xun Yan later repeated Liu Chuang's words with Cao Cao.

If I had to be an enemy of Sikong, Sikong would force me to be an enemy of Sikong!

At that time, Cao Cao did not argue, but sighed and remained silent... It would be like Liu Chuang said, if he didn't beat him, he would be peaceful? Even if Liu Chuang arrived in Yingchuan at that time, he would still become an opponent based on the ambitions that Liu Chuang showed today. Therefore, Cao Cao did not regret it. But he was thinking, if he did not listen to him at that time, why would he have the result now?

I would rather let others down than let others down.

This is Cao Cao's motto.

But now, he has a headache.

Lu Bu is not easy to deal with, and if Liu Chuang is added, it will be even more troublesome.

After hearing this, Guo Jia sneered: "Don't worry, lord, then Liu Chuang can't come. If he really sends troops to rescue Lu Bu, he will be unable to come or leave."

With this sentence, Cao Cao felt relieved.

Guo Jia is not a person who likes to talk big. Since he said that, he must have a complete solution.

If that's the case, what are you waiting for?

In mid-August of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao decided to send troops to Xuzhou and personally led a large army to Pengcheng.

At the same time, Liu Bei reorganized his troops in Dangshan and joined forces with Xiahou Dun. After defeating Cheng Lian, he regained the prime minister's county.

For a time, the Jianghuai land was filled with war clouds.

"Husband, save my dad!"

As soon as Liu Chuang finished discussing the matter in the government office, he just returned to the other courtyard and saw Lu Lan crying like a little tears, running towards Liu Chuang.

"Husband, save my dad."

Lu Lan pulled Liu Chuang's sleeve and begged repeatedly.

Liu Chuang knew that she must have received the news that Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou.

He stretched out his hand and scraped Lu Lan's squinted nose, "Don't be afraid of bells, I have received the news and have reminded my father-in-law a long time ago."

"That……"

"How could I stand by and watch with my father-in-law and my family?"

Liu Chuang said softly: "Don't worry, I have ordered Xiong Ju Army to gather in Dongwu long ago. I will go to Xuzhou to help my father-in-law tomorrow morning."

"Um!"

Only then did Lu Lan feel relieved and burst into tears to smile.

At this time, Mi Feng and others came up and said with a worried look on their faces: "Husband, do you really want to fight with Cao Cao?"

Liu Chuang smiled and said, "It's not that I don't know that Cao Cao and I became a fire and water in Ruyin. This battle is inevitable. But don't worry, I went to Xuzhou this time and just attacked Cao Cao and restrained his troops. There would be no danger. Besides, I have ordered Ji Bi to go to Yecheng and ask for help from Yuan Gong. As long as Yuan Gong is willing to send troops to help, the siege of Xuzhou will be broken soon..."

Liu Chuang said it very easily, which made Mi Feng and others finally relieved.

After comforting Lu Lan for a few more words, Liu Chuang returned to the study.

Outside the study, Huang Shao and Xiahou Lan had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Liu Chuang coming, the two hurriedly bowed and bowed.

"Sima Yi, are you leaving?"

Xiahou Lan hurriedly said: "Sima Zhongda has left Donglai and returned to his hometown in Hanoi."

"It seems that he has received news, too."

Liu Chuang was not surprised by Sima Yi's attitude. After all, the Sima family in Hanoi has a close relationship with Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao was the Northern Territory of Luoyang, Sima Yi's father Sima Fang fully recommended him. Now that Liu Chuang is going to fight Cao Cao, how could Sima Yi not see any clues? I'm afraid that Sima family will also send someone to contact him and ask him to leave Beihai earlier. This is a place of failure."

In June, Sima Yi, accompanied by Zhuge Liang, traveled all over Donglai.

Then the two returned and continued to study.

Judging from the news reported by Xiahou Lan, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang are in good terms. Both are from aristocratic families. Although the Zhuge family has long declined and is also a large family in Langya County. Perhaps it is not as glamorous as the Sima family, but in terms of the family, it is almost the same.

It’s just that the two people have completely different temperaments.

Zhuge Liang was cheerful, while Sima Yi was cold and cold.

One is like fire, the other is like water... Since ancient times, water and fire have been difficult to withstand.

So although these two people are in good condition, they often have disputes with each other. Moreover, their arguments have become a landscape and are being paid attention to by many people.

The war was about to begin, and Sima Yi returned to Hanoi, which was expected by Liu Chuang.

"What about Kong Ming?"

"The second young master was clamoring to come back and help the young master, but he was stopped by Kang Chenggong."

When Liu Chuang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If the little kid doesn't study hard, why are you joining in the fun..."

He changed his tone and looked at Huang Shao, "Public Mei, are the baggage ready?"

"Flying Xiongwei has 1,500 people and 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers, ready to go."

"It's great. I'll eat at Yin in the morning tomorrow morning, and the soldiers are on the Mao hour, and the soldiers are set off at Chen hour... If Heng is the pioneer, Gongmei will lead miscellaneous troops to carry the baggage. On the third day of the September 1st, it is necessary to assemble in Dongwu. He also ordered Shi Huan and Taishi Ci to order him and guard against the movements of Taishan County."

"Here!"

Xiahou Lan and Huang Shao turned around and left, and Liu Chuang felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, he is not going to bring too many people...

In fact, he doesn't have much resources to squander.

The situation in Beihai and Donglai this year is not very good. Before the sorghum scion, it was disturbed by rain, resulting in a lot of production cuts. However, since the area of ​​the farm this year is almost twice that of last year, the output has increased a lot compared with last year, about 1.2 million hu.

Unlike last year's situation, after the harvest, Liu Chuang ordered that he stop recruiting refugees to come.

Therefore, the population of the two counties has generally not changed much, with a total of more than 700,000 people.

But even so, compared to when Liu Chuang first arrived in Beihai, the population had doubled... Guan Hai had arrived in Gaomi, with Guan Hai, Huang Zhong and Lu Dai, which was enough to make Gaomi restless. As for Taishan County, Liu Chuang was not too worried. This time, the total force was only 8,000, including 3,000 miscellaneous troops to transport supplies. Therefore, for the Beihai Kingdom, it was not a big deal.

Although the five thousand soldiers were fighting, they gathered Xiong Ju Army and Fei Xiong Wei, the most elite soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom.

There were about 50,000 soldiers left behind in Beihai Kingdom.

Among them, Donglai County has 10,000, Dongwu has 20,000, Gaomi has 10,000, and the lower has 10,000, making the Beihai Kingdom as solid as a god.

But Liu Chuang was still not relieved.

He had a premonition that he had not had many days in Beihai!

He picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Xun Chen.

Then Liu Chuang sent people to Buqi and Xiaxia to send a letter to each of them.

Preparing for the future, Liu Chuang doesn’t know what the outcome of the Xuzhou battle will be. But one thing he knows is that in this battle, he has to fight even if he doesn’t fight even if he doesn’t fight, and he has no choice at all... Since that’s the case, then just fight happily.

After handling all the chores, it was getting late.

Liu Chuang went to visit Lu Lan first. Although the little girl received Liu Chuang's promise, she could tell that she was still very nervous and worried.
To be continued...
