As early as when Cao Cao attacked Qinghe, Liu Chuang led his troops to Shangdang quietly and hid in Gaoshun's army.

In order to strengthen the effect of suspicion, Liu Chuang only brought 300 Feixiongwei to the battle this time. The other Feixiongwei, led by Jiang Jie and Tai Shixiang, remained in Yanjing City. This is also the main reason why Cao Cao did not realize that Liu Chuang had left Yanjing.

Liu Chuang has been planning for a long time in the Battle of Hanoi.

In the sixth year of Jian'an, the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had not yet ended, and Liu Chuang had just captured Youzhou, and his foundation was still unstable. While everyone was still confused about the future, Liu Chuang had sent Sima Yi to secretly return to Hanoi and set out to make arrangements in Hanoi.

It was at that time that Shan Yao was recruited by Sima Yi.

Speaking of Shan Yao, perhaps many people have never heard of it. Even Liu Chuang doesn’t know much about Shan Yao.

But in fact, although Shan Yao was not famous in history, he had an amazing son named Shan Tao... That's right, Shan Tao, the mountain giant source later known as one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. Of course, Shan Tao had not been born at this time and would not be on earth until ten years of Jian'an. It is precisely because of this that Liu Chuang didn't know who Shan Yao was. He only heard Sima Yi say that this person has some talent. Shan Yao's reputation may not be as great as Shan Tao, who was listed as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, but he also has real talents.

Speaking of which, Shan Yao and Sima Lang met, and it was precisely because of this relationship that Sima Yi and Shan Yao got in touch.

At first, Shan Yao was not willing to serve Sima Yi because of the situation at that time that the Yuan and Cao battle had no result, and Liu Chuang was just a prince trapped in Youzhou. But Sima Yi told Shan Yao with great certainty that the Yuan family would definitely be defeated in the Yuan and Cao battle... and Liu Chuang would definitely win the battle in Cao and Liu Chuang. With intentional calculations and no intentions, Liu Chuang gained the upper hand from the beginning of the battle between Cao and Liu. Sima Yi also bet with Shan Yao that it would take less than two years to lose Yuan Shao and the Yuan family would be gone...

But in fact, Yuan only lasted for a year!

It was from that time that Shan Yao changed his attitude.

As the showdown between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao began, Liu Chuang won one after another, which made Shan Yao more confident.

Later, Shan Yao joined Huangge and served as Jingzhao Jishi... I am afraid that even Cao Cao would not have thought that Liu Chuang's detailed leader in Jingzhao was actually a county lieutenant in Hanoi. Such an unimportant position provided sufficient protection for Shan Yao, and even made Shan Yao successfully take over Huai County's defense after Liu Chuang lured Xiahou Dun, and welcomed Du Jifazheng into Huai County.

The collapse of Huai County also indicates that the Hanoi war has come to an end.

In fact, after Liu Chuang occupied Hedong, Du Ji kept putting pressure on Hanoi... Now, Xu Huang and Xiahou Dun were defeated, and the living forces of Hanoi County have been almost wiped out by 70%. Even if there are still some remnants of forces, it is no longer Liu Chuang needs attention.

He kept Gao Shun, plus Wuqiu Xing and a local sect, Shanyao, it was not difficult to pacify Hanoi.

What's more, Liu Chuang firmly believed that the Sima family of Wen County, another local snake in Hanoi, would also make some choices at this time. Previously, although Sima Fang asked Sima Yi to follow Liu Chuang, he did not invest much effort. It can be said that except for Sima Yi, the Sima family did not give Liu Chuang any help. Liu Chuang was not angry about this! Under that circumstances at that time, Liu Chuang did not even have a place to settle down. The Sima family was able to send the second son of the family to follow Liu Chuang, which was already the most righteous.

However, this is the moment, and that is the moment.

Liu Chuang is different from the past, and I believe Sima will also give some compensation.

As long as the Sima family is willing to come forward, the situation in Hanoi can stabilize quickly.

Liu Chuang had this confidence, and at the same time he believed that with Sima Fang's old cunning, how could he have no action at this time?

So, there is no need to worry about the situation in Hanoi.

What Liu Chuang has to do now is to fight the Yellow River as soon as possible and the troops are at Hulao Pass.

The pressure under Jizhou is too great... Although Liu Chuang looks indifferent on the surface, in fact, he cannot let go of Cao Cao's death in battle when he broke through Qinghe and Shi Huan. Especially Shi Huan's killing made Liu Chuang feel extremely sad... Although there was Zhuge Liang in the Qinghe Battle and Xun Chen in the Wei County Battle, Liu Chuang thought that Cao Cao stayed in Hebei for one more day and Hebei would be more threatening. Only by crossing the river and facing Henan, and forcing Cao Cao to retreat from Hebei, can Liu Chuang feel at ease.

So, Liu Chuang didn't want to stay in Hanoi for a moment.

He did not even enter the Huai County gate, and only ordered a camp in Huai County to rest for one day. At the same time, he ordered the Cao family to lead his troops to pursue and cross the river as soon as possible.

Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang are not stupid!

After losing Huai County, they knew that the situation in Hanoi was destined.

If Liu Chuang had not come in person, they might have a chance to stabilize their position. But since Liu Chuang has come, his purpose will become very clear.

The main force of Cao's army has lost most of the losses in Huai County.

Although there are still some soldiers and horses in Pinggao and Wen County, there is no time to draw them.

Liu Chuang would never give them time to regroup. Since he had captured Huai County, the next step must be to advance in Henan. In this case, resistance was meaningless. Especially in the battle of Huai County, Liu Chuang also used the thunder fire, which further showed that Liu Chuang was determined to cross the river. If he wanted to stop Liu Chuang, it was obviously unlikely... The most urgent task was to rush to Hulao Pass as soon as possible and meet with Cao Peng, in order to block the footsteps of the Han army and buy more time for Xun Yu and Cao Cao.

Therefore, the two of them walked urgently, and even did not rest in Pinggao, they crossed the Yellow River overnight.

After crossing the river, Xu Huang ordered people to burn the boats along the river.

Although doing so is not enough to stop the Han army, it can delay some time and facilitate Cao Peng to arrange his arrangements in Hulao.

Cao Peng was also shocked when he learned that Xiahou Dun had lost Huai County.

Even though he was prepared in his heart, he was shocked when he heard that Liu Chuang used the Tianlei Fire.

"Fe Tinghou, since Liu Chuang appears in Hanoi, I believe it will not take long to come, and the troops will inevitably come to Hulao Pass.

We still need to prepare early... Yi thought that the elder brother could station in Xingyang, which could echo the king and lord, threaten the flanks of the bandits and restrain the soldiers and horses of the bandits. I guess that Liu Chuang would not have too many soldiers when he came this time. We just need to guard the tiger prison and wait for reinforcements."

The "big brother" mentioned by Guo Yi refers to Cao Xiu.

Cao Peng thought about it and agreed quite well, so he immediately ordered Cao Xiu to rush to Xingyang to take charge.

He originally planned to let Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang return to Xu Du, but he didn't know that Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang disagreed.

"When I lose Hanoi, what will I do to return to Xudu?

Friends and students don’t have to worry about us, they only regard me as a division. Gongming and I will compete with Liu Chuang in front of this Hulao Pass.”

Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and looked full of resentment.

Xu Huang also nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement...

To be honest, Hanoi's defeat this time was too unfair.

Whether it was Xiahou Dun or Xu Huang, they were a little dissatisfied. Of course, they knew Cao Peng's concerns, so they showed enough attitude from the beginning and were willing to obey Cao Peng's orders. Although Cao Peng was reluctant, it was difficult to refuse.

In this way, Cao Peng sent someone to Xudu overnight to deliver a letter.

At the same time, he ordered Hulao Pass to strengthen its garrison and strictly prevent the Han army from attacking...

"June and Majesty, the bandit army is quite powerful. I have a plan to defeat its sharpness."

When Cao Peng climbed the city to inspect, Guo Yi walked up and whispered: "Returning to the horse, the bandits have arrived at the north bank of the river and are looking for tools to cross the river. Although General Xu and his team burned the ships after crossing the river, it may not be delayed for too long.

According to my estimate, the thief army will inevitably cross the river at dawn.

They won a great victory in Hanoi, and they don’t think they will be too prepared. The lord can send a group of troops to ambush the river ferry... After the bandits cross the river, they will suddenly attack while they have not yet gained a foothold, and they will definitely defeat the bandits, smash their sharpness and boost our morale."

"What should they do if they are prepared?"

Guo Yi smiled and said, "If the thief army is prepared, it will not be a big deal... At that time, you only need to order the troops to withdraw, and I believe the other party can do nothing."

Cao Peng thought about it and thought Guo Yi had a good idea.

"Since that's the case, I will order my troops and go to the ferry to ambush."

"Why should you fight yourself? This is just a vanguard of the bandit army, so there is no need for you to take action yourself.

I just discussed with Ziwen and Yizi that I would like to lead troops to the ferry to ambush... Hehe, this is also a contribution to our waiting time."

When Cao Peng heard this, he immediately laughed.

Guo Yi's words clearly mean: Don't compete with us for credit...

As long as Liu Chuang did not cross the river, there would be no danger. I heard that the vanguard army of the thief army was the surname Cao, one of the eight powerful generals under Lu Bu. Cao Peng also grew up in Xuzhou, so how could he have never heard of the name of Cao? However, he was not worried about the surname Cao. Although the surname Cao was calm and brave, he was good at fighting... but in Cao Peng's eyes, although the surname Cao was brave, it was a world of difference from Liu Chuang.

Although the bravery of the surname Cao can kill generals and seize the flag, he still cannot turn the situation around with his own strength.

If it were just for bravery, neither Cao Zhang nor Dian Man would be inferior to the Cao surname. With Guo Yi assisted him, the Cao surname must be no match for these three boys. Thinking of this, Cao Peng nodded, "Since that's the case, let Ziwen go to the battle."

Guo Yi was overjoyed and hurried down to the city wall to find Cao Zhang and Dianman.

Xiahou Dun couldn't help but worry a little, and he whispered: "Friends, I don't want to interfere in your military affairs... It's just that Ziwen and Yizi are still young, and although Bo Yi is smart, he is not yet old. If there is any danger, isn't it your fault? When the lord blames you, you will inevitably be implicated and blamed for this matter."

Cao Peng laughed.
