In July of the ninth year of Jian'an, as the war in Qinghe County began, the Cao army stationed in Liyang, under the command of Cao Hong, immediately launched an offensive...

Jizhou, which had been calm for half a year, was suddenly filled with clouds.

According to Cao **’s original plan, the battle of Qinghe should be effortless.

At the beginning of the war, as he thought, Cao's army was unstoppable. After Shi Huan was defeated by Dushui, he immediately died in Beiqiu. Logically speaking, it should be no big problem to take down Ganling, but who expected that an insignificant little man suddenly appeared and defended Ganling.

Zhang Deng defended his life in Ganling for three days, but in the end he failed to resist the attack of Cao's army and was forced to break through and flee.

But it was these three days that Zhang Chao had enough time to ask for help from the prefect of Bohai Guo Yuan. After receiving the news, Guo Yuan immediately lit up 8,000 troops and quickly reinforced Qinghe. The distance from Nanpi to Qinghe was not very far. Guo Yuan did not immediately rush to Ganling, but stationed in Dongwu City and took a decisive battle. At the same time, Xun Kuang, Zhongshan Lu Dai, and Julu Mizhu also sent reinforcements. In just three days, Dongwu City and Jieqiao gathered more than 20,000 troops and motors to be on the verge of battle.

Although Cao ** captured Ganling, he did not achieve the expected results.

Even when the Cao army occupied Ganling, Qinghe did have a brief panic. However, as the Cui clan of Qinghe came forward to appease, the panic was quickly calmed down. Qinghe Cui clan was the largest wealthy family in Qinghe County. Cui Yan, a member of the Cui clan of Qinghe, is now the governor of Bingzhou, also made Qinghe Cui clan make a decision quickly. Even if Cao ** occupied Ganling, it did not achieve the expected results.

At the same time, the Cao army in Liyang was very fierce, but it was unable to break through the Qingshui River defense line for a long time.

Xun Chen personally supervised the battle against Neihuang and ordered the general Zhang Liao to stay in the footsteps of Chiyang.

Xiao Ling and Xu Sheng were stationed on both sides of Chiyang, respectively, which effectively protected Zhang Liao.

With the help of Dong Zhao, Cao Hong had repeatedly used tricks, but Zhang Liao never heard of any movement. He led his troops to station in Qingshui River, blocking Cao's army's steps towards the north. Even if Shi Huan was killed and Ganling's loss came, it could not shake Zhang Liao at all...

Cao **, I was a little nervous!

"Chuang'er has not been moved yet, so there must be tricks."

According to his idea, if he captured Ganling, Liu Chuang would definitely lead his troops to the enemy.

But Liu Chuang had not seen any signs of appearance. Zhuge Liang led reinforcements to the south and quickly came to Hejian. At the same time, news came from Youzhou. The general recruited Xihe Prefect Zhang Yan to lead 30,000 Heishan troops to go south from Bingzhou, and it was obvious that he wanted to reinforce Jizhou... But what about Liu Chuang? Liu Chuang's delay in seeing any movement also made Cao ** a little scared. Is this guy so confident?

Cao ** was worried, and he didn't dare to continue to attack Tobu City rashly.

To be honest, now there is no effect of surprise troops... The Han army defended Dongwu City and Jieqiao, and if they want to go north, they must fight hard.

But the question is, why has Liu Chuang not appeared for a long time?

Just when Cao ** was suspicious of the plan, Du Ji, who was far away in Hedong, and Gao Shun, the prefect of Shangdang, divided into two groups. Du Ji, the prefect of Hedong, took the general Wuqiu Xing as the vanguard, crossed Wangwu Mountain and captured Ji Pass; Gao Shun, the prefect of Shangdang, passed through Taihang Mountain and the troops were approaching Kuicheng. The two groups of people appeared very suddenly, so that there was no news from Hanoi. When the prefect of Henoi realized that the situation was not good, Wuqiu Xing had led 8,000 troops to capture the Yewang, which was just a stone's throw away. Gao Shun ordered the Cao surname to be the vanguard army, seized the gathering of dogs and blocked the reinforcements of Shanyang. Gao Shun himself led 6,000 troops to reach Yongcheng, echoing Du Jiyao, and attacked Huai County.

The Han army's movements were too fast and too sudden...

So much so that Cao's army was caught off guard and lost consecutive battles.

At the same time, a folk song began to circulate in Hanoi: Flying bears appeared, Central Plains were in chaos, thousands of troops crossed the river, and the Red Emperor entered Luoyang...

Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, once called himself the son of Emperor Chi, killed the snake and started the crime.

Now that such folk songs suddenly appear in Hanoi County, everyone can't help but feel panic.

When the news reached Xudu, Xun Yu's face changed drastically.

He shouted "I'm afraid that the thieves are attacking Hanoi and want to cross the river and attack Hulao Pass."

The biggest difference between Liu Chuang and Cao ** is that after Cao ** crossed the river, he was still a thousand miles away from Yanjing.

But if Liu Chuang crossed the Yellow River and his troops were at Hulao Pass, he could directly threaten Xu Du. One had a long strategic depth, but the other could only face it directly. Therefore, when the Han army invaded Hanoi, Xun Yu realized that Liu Chuang did not intend to fight Cao ** in Jizhou at all. In fact, if Liu Chuang crossed the River and his troops were at Hulao Pass, Cao ** would be more anxious.

What a pot of drainage!

Xun Yu couldn't help but secretly praised himself in his heart.

I originally planned to cross the Yellow River and fight with Liu Chuang in Hebei, but I didn't expect that Liu Chuang didn't care about the gains and losses of the Qinghe River at all, and actually wanted to fight in Henan.

But this time, it really hit Cao **'s weakness.

"Shangshu Xun is too nervous.

Now that we have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Hanoi, how can the treacherous robbers easily seize it?

I am willing to lead troops to Hanoi to resist the trespassers. As long as the trespassers are blocked in Hanoi, it will not take long to withdraw his troops."

The person who speaks is Xiahou Dun.

After the end of the Battle of Guanzhong, Cao ** transferred Xiahou Dun back to Xudu.

This time he attacked Hebei, he did not wait for Xiahou Dun to go, but ordered him to stay in Xudu and assist Xun Yu.

Xun Yu frowned, "Yuan Rang, don't take it lightly."

"Ha, Wen Ruoduo will increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige.

I know that the thief is powerful, and I don’t want to speak wildly... I may not have the ability to defeat the thief. But I am sure to stop him in Hanoi."

Xun Yu pondered for a long time, and felt that letting Xiahou Dun go to Hanoi for support was an excellent method.

Now it depends on who can last.

As long as Cao ** can occupy Qinghe County, or Cao Hong can conquer Neihuang City, Liu Chuang will definitely not continue to attack Hanoi and withdraw his troops and return to the rescue.

"Since that's the case, I'll ask Yuan Rang to have a hard time."

Xun Yu immediately ordered Xiahou Dun to lead his troops to Hanoi.

At the same time, he sent someone to Qinghe to deliver a letter and informed Cao ** about the situation in Hanoi.

"Friends!"

"Here!"

"Yuan Yen went to Hanoi here, but I was still not relieved.

The thief is brave and annihilated, Yuan Rang is probably not his opponent. Once Hanoi falls, the thief will definitely come to the Huzhu... I want you to lead your troops to the Huzhu immediately. If Hanoi loses, you will immediately send troops to rescue him. Well, let Wen Lie be the deputy general and help you with your help."

Cao Peng has returned to Xudu now.

He fell seriously ill in spring and returned to Xudu from Qingzhou to rest.

This time, Cao ** fought across the river, and Cao Peng did not accompany him.

After listening to Xun Yu's instructions, he immediately took the order and left.

Unexpectedly, Liu Chuang was so bold... he ignored Hebei and wanted to attack Hanoi.

But it has to be said that his trick was indeed clever to remove the fire from the cauldron. Once Liu Chuang crossed Hebei, all Cao **'s previous plans would be wasted.

Thinking of this, he was also extremely worried.

But at the same time, he felt an inexplicable excitement...

When he got home, Cao Peng asked his family to pack his bags and prepare to move to the military camp in Ming Dynasty, and then led his troops to go to the expedition.

But he had just eaten, when he saw Cao Zhang, Guo Yi and Dian Man rushed over excitedly, "Brother, do you hear you are going to Hulao Pass?"

Last year, the Battle of Jizhou ended, Cao Zhang and the other two were also captured by Cao ** and returned to Xudu.

Cao ** also admired the efforts made by the three of them at the last moment of the battle in Jizhou.

However, Cao ** was extremely angry at Cao Zhang and the other two who did not say goodbye to each other... After the three returned to Xudu, they were confined to their homes and were not allowed to step out of the house. It was not until Cao ** went to war that Cao Zhang and the other two were regained. Hearing that Cao Peng was going to Hulao Pass, the three of them were immediately interested. So Cao Zhang reported to Mrs. Bian, and later went to Cao Peng's residence and begged to follow him.

When Cao Peng heard this, his brows frowned.

He knew Cao Zhang's martial arts and skills very well.

This kid is sixteen years old this year, but his martial arts have reached the peak of qi cultivation and is about to break through the realm of refining the gods.

To be honest, in Xudu City, there are really not many people who are Cao Zhang's opponents... Not to mention Dianman, it is also a peak of energy cultivation and amazing magical power. If the two of them follow each other, it would be like two more generals with the peak of energy cultivation, and there is also a little genius Guo Yi.

Although this kid is not old, he is extremely wise.

When he was staying at Li Yang last year, Guo Yi had already shown his strength, and even Cao ** admired him very much.

But……

The battle in Huzhu is probably not as easy as expected.

It would be fine if Liu Chuang could not defeat Hanoi. If he had broken through Hanoi and crossed the river, there would inevitably be a fierce battle in Hulao Pass.

The war in Hebei is in full swing.

But Liu Chuang has not appeared yet, so he might personally lead a large army and the troops are at Hulao Pass.

If something happens to Cao Zhang and his three others, his crime will be serious... Cao **'s sons, the eldest son Cao Ang died in Wancheng, and the second son Cao Pi is now exiled to Hailing. If Cao Zhang has another fault, wouldn't Cao ** be heartbroken? Who will bear this responsibility?

"Ziwen, do you really want to go to the battle with me?"

Cao Peng did not dare to refuse immediately, so he spoke.

Cao Peng also heard about the actions of these three boys, Qiao's family last year.

If, if he rejected the three of them and they left quietly, wouldn’t it be even more trouble?

Cao Zhang and Guo Yidianman looked at each other, then nodded vigorously, "I am now in Hebei, my father and brother-in-law are fighting each other, how can I watch?"

"Yes, I didn't see Feixiong last time, I have to see it this time."

Cao Peng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You are going to war, I don't object.

However, after arriving in the army, you three must obey my orders. I will visit my wife at home later and persuade her to agree... But you must ensure that no matter whether the wife agrees or not, you three cannot act without permission, otherwise I will not take you out in the future."

"A gentleman's word."

"It's hard to chase after all!"

Cao Zhang and the other two left happily, but they gave Cao Peng a great headache.

He was really worried that these three boys, Qiao's family... might as well bring them with him so that they could take care of him.

When Cao Peng thought of this, he packed up and prepared to go out to Cao's mansion to pay homage to Mrs. Bian. But he had just walked out of the mansion, but saw a young man coming hurriedly. Cao Peng recognized the young man, who was Jia Xu's son, Jia Mu. Jia Mu came to Liu Chuang and grabbed his arm, "My friend, something happened... Come with me quickly, my father will invite you."

"Ah? What happened again?"

Cao Peng's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help asking.
