Jiben didn't know what foreign aid Jin Yi and Wei Huang had found, and he was not in the mood to know.

Of course, even if he wanted to know, Jin Yi and Wei Huang might not tell him. To put it bluntly, Jin Yi Wei Huang and Ji Ben are not the same type of people. Jin Yi Wei Huang came from a wealthy family, and Ji Ben was just a small imperial physician order. Both parties are people living in two worlds, so how could they have any friendship? If there is something similar, it is probably that they are very loyal to Han**.

What Jimbong is thinking now is just to kill Cao ** and give the emperor the glory. However, there is one thing Jin Yi and the others are right. The longer the time is delayed, the easier it is to reveal his legs, and the easier it is to be discovered by Cao **. He is now in a difficult situation, so he can only act as soon as possible. On the way home, Jimbong thought a lot... When he arrived at the doorstep, he also made a decision in his heart.

"Madam, please come and find Ji Miao and Ji Mu."

After Yoshimoto returned home, he ordered his wife to find his two sons.

Ji Miao was twenty-two years old, and Ji Mu was eighteen or nineteen years old, both of whom were over the age of twentieth.

The two children did not learn Jimbe's medical skills, but practiced martial arts since childhood and had some force. Usually, they often mingled with some playboys in Xudu City, so they also had a reputation. After coming to the study, Jimbejimu and Jimu were all nervous. The two bowed to Jimbe and stood there solemnly. Although Jimbeji was just an imperial physician, the tutor was very strict.

Yoshimoto took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Brothers Ming** took your mother out of the city and returned to his hometown in Runan for some time."

"Father, why did you go home all the time?"

"If you want you to go back, then go back. Where did you get so many noises?"

Yoshimoto's face darkened and he scolded the two brothers sternly.

Ji Miao quickly closed his mouth, but there was a reluctant expression on his face.

"Master, what happened? How come I asked my mother and son to go back to their hometown?"

Yoshimoto's wife sat aside, her words revealing doubts.

Indeed, there are no relatives in my hometown, so it is a bit strange that I suddenly return to my hometown. Something must have happened.

Yoshimoto glanced at his wife who had been with him for half her life and sighed softly.

"Madam, don't ask about this matter. I want you to take your two children back, so I'm just going to be careful.

Ji Miao, Ji Mu... You two are old now. You used to be joking outside, so I was too lazy to ask. After that, you have to take on this family. Now that the city of Xudu is not peaceful, I can't tell what will happen. After you leave, you stay in your hometown. If nothing happens, I will send someone to pick you up; but if an accident happens..."

Yoshimoto hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I immediately took my relatives to Jiangxia and defected to Liu Envoy."

I remember that when Liu Bei was in trouble, he met Yoshimoto and had some friendship with each other.

In Yoshimoto's opinion, although Liu Chuang was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he was ambitious and it was difficult to explain the development of the post-Julyun. Just as Jin Yi said, if Liu Chuang was not good at doing so, he would be Dong Zhuo and Cao **. If this is true, it would be better to let the two children go to Liu Bei.

At least in Yoshimoto's opinion, Liu Bei is also a good person.

It started in the last moments and experienced many setbacks, but was very loyal to the Han Dynasty...

More importantly, Liu Bei was also a relative of the Han Dynasty. To some extent, the relationship between Liu Bei and the Han Emperor should be closer.

The faces of the Ji Miao Ji Mu brothers changed suddenly.

The two brothers opened their mouths and were about to speak, but they heard Yoshimoto sternly: "Listen, you two, don't come forward after you arrive in Jiangxia, you still need to act low-key. Envoy Liu is a kind person, but the matters on Jiangxia are very complicated. You must not be idle like Xu Du. Just find a serious job and do things with peace of mind. Don't cause trouble again..."

Ji Miao and Ji Mu looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and bowed, "The boy understands."

"Madam, take them to prepare."

Yoshimoto waved his hand and signaled his wife and two sons to retreat.

My wife wanted to say something else, but looking at Yoshimoto's face, she knew that nothing was useful.

My husband knows best in my heart.

Mrs. Ji sighed in her heart, said to Yoshimoto, and then said softly: "The master is alone in Xudu, so you should take care of yourself.

I and my children will wait for you in my hometown, please be careful.”

Yoshimoto felt sad when he heard his wife's words.

But immediately, he calmed down and smiled faintly, "Madam, don't worry about me, I will be careful, there will be no danger."

Speaking of this, there seems to be no need to persuade anything else.

Mrs. Ji Miao and Ji Mu and the others took back, returned to the room to pack their bags. Ji Ben stood at the door, stood with his hands behind his back for a while, sighed softly, and turned back to the room.

He took out a box from the shelf and opened it to take out a medicinal material from it.

After hesitating for a while, he put the medicinal materials into the trough of the grinding medicine, and gently crushed the medicinal materials with the medicinal materials, with a bright look and special concentration.

On October 20, the ninth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang launched continuous offensives on Guancheng.

Jia Xu also felt that the situation was a little bad and wanted to save the situation, but Liu Chuang's offensive became more and more powerful, making him unable to fight back.

On the 22nd day, Pang De led a army to cross the river and arrive in Xingyang after Shangdang entered Hanoi.

Pang De brought another 20,000 troops when he came this time.

As a result, Liu Chuang's troops surged to 100,000, and his momentum became stronger than before.

Liu Chuang was also very happy about Pang De's arrival. He immediately ordered Pang De to join the war and took turns to launch an offensive to Guancheng with Huang Zhong and Xiahou Lan.

And this time, neither side used the Tianlei Fire.

It’s not that they don’t want to use it, but there is really no inventory on both sides. In this way, both sides have returned to the previous situation of cold weapons war. Relying on the advantage of their troops and the powerful attack power of winch crossbows, Liu Chuang once had the upper hand, which made Jia Xu quite difficult.

Just as Jia Xu was struggling to support Guancheng, Xu Chu and Yang Jun also arrived at Guoting.

However, Xu Chu followed Yang Jun's plan and did not go forward with great promises. Instead, he personally led a large army around Guoting and ambushed in the Zhanran River Bay. Then, Yang Jun went to Guoting camp alone. After discussing with Zhang He, Zhang He led his troops to attack and fight against Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu naturally would not be afraid to fight and led his troops to fight Zhang He at Guoting.

Just when the two sides were fighting, Xu Chu led his troops to suddenly emerge from the Zhanranshui River Bay and rushed straight to the flanks of Cao's army.

Cao Xiu did not expect that the Han army was ambushed in the Zhanranshui River and was caught off guard and was defeated by the Han army... Cao Xiu fought to the death and fought a bloody road and fled to Jingxian. However, before he could gain a foothold in Jingxian, Zhang He and Xu Chu led their troops to chase the city.

Cao Xiu led the defeated army to fight, but his morale was low and he could not resist the fierce attack of the Han army. He was defeated and fled to Meishan in just half a day.

The loss of Jing County also indicates that Jia Xu's flanks were completely exposed.

Yang Jun stopped Xu Chu and Zhang He from continuing to pursue Cao Xiu, but instead asked Xu Chu to stay in Jing County and ordered Zhang He to attack Guancheng's grain road. Jia Xu naturally attached great importance to the grain road and sent generals to escort the grain road. But Zhang He was not an idiot after all, he was not only proficient in military tactics, but also brave and good at fighting. He cut off Jia Xu's grain road, which also made the situation in Guancheng even more critical.

At this time, although the Xiahou Shang brothers stationed in Yuanyong City, it was still difficult to change the situation where the situation was despair.

However, Jia Xu is not an ordinary person after all, and he has the courage to cut off his arm.

Seeing that Guancheng could no longer hold on, he asked his surname to order Guancheng to set fire, and then led his troops to break through and retreat to Zhongmu.

At the same time, when Xiahou Shangxia Heng saw that Jingxian County was lost and Guancheng was lost, he also knew that this Yuan Yongcheng could not continue to defend.

Just the second day after Jia Xu evacuated Guancheng, the Xiahou Shang brothers also evacuated Yuanyong City and retreated to Yangwu.

When Cao Peng, the new prefect of Chenliu County, learned that the Xiahou brothers were defeated, he immediately sent troops from Junyi, stationed troops and gathered together to meet the Xiahou brothers.

Cao Hong led his troops to retreat from the white horse. After arriving at Guandu, he set up camp and prepared to fight to the death with Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang did not dare to neglect the news when he received the news.

After discussing with Fa Zheng, Yang Jun and Lu Yu, he decided to take the initiative.

So, Zhang He stationed in Jing County and cut off the connection between Meishan and Guandu. Liu Chuang personally led a large army of 50,000, with Huang Zhong as the vanguard, and rushed to Tianze.

At this time, although Cao's defense at Guandu was not fully completed, it had already taken shape.

After Liu Chuang arrived in Putianze, he couldn't help but feel a little headache after seeing the terrain of Guandu.

This Guandu is about 200 miles away from Xudu, and is also the key to entering Xudu... Cao** has stationed 60,000 troops and has already set up a formation.

Liu Chuang climbed up to the tower and looked at Cao Jun's camp, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"In the battle of Guandu, even if you win, you will win miserably. You must be seriously injured."

Fa Zheng and Yang Jun nodded behind Liu Chuang... If we look at the situation, Liu Chuang would have the upper hand compared to Yuan Shao at the time.

At that time, Yuan Shao attacked from Hebei and had to guard against the Heluo army.

Now, Liu Chuang did not need to guard against Heluo, and even opened the Guanzhong Pass. The pressure was much less than Yuan Shao. However, to the east of Liu Chuang, there was also the Li Yang Cao army, who might come to reinforce at any time. This also made Liu Chuang unable to concentrate all his strength to attack Guandu, and he had to send a powerful army to station in Yuanwu. On the one hand, it could block the rescue of the Li Yang Cao army, and on the other hand, it could also restrain Yang Wu and Chen Liu's troops. In short, although Liu Chuang had a little advantage in this battle of Guandu, he could not win easily.

If you really fight with Cao ** here, to be honest, it is not what Liu Chuang thought.

Kill here, kill here...what isn't the Han family's vitality in the end?

"Ming said early in the morning, let General Han Sheng attack and feint attack Zhongmu!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Before we knew it, it was November.

The Han army was approaching Guandu, and the war was about to break out.

Cao **'s headache was relieved a lot after a period of adjustment.

As soon as the headache was relieved, Cao ** was eager to go to Guandu to supervise the battle. Previously, the Han army and Cao army had fought many times, with mixed results. Cao army occupied the advantage of the terrain, and had previously defeated Yuan Shao here, so his morale was quite high.

Cao ** knew very well that this battle was also extremely critical to him.

If he could defeat Liu Chuang in Guandu, he would have a chance to recover his lost territory and restore his previous decline.

So, he was also impatient... Just when he wanted to rush to Guandu to supervise the war, another good news came: Zhang Xiu led his troops to Xudu! (To be continued.)
