The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 144 Cao Cao: I can't imagine how I would lose!
Outside Xuchang City.

Cao Cao personally led an army of 15 and marched westward from Xuchang.

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

At this time, the 15 army was densely packed like a long dragon from a distance.

The black Cao character flag flutters 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 the goal of Cao Cao's first battle was to pull out the nail of Wancheng.

With the face of an army of 50 on this trip, Cao Cao was so complacent that he didn't know how to lose.

He led an army of 15 and planned to advance to Wancheng.

Xiahou Dun listened to his order and led the remaining 35 troops to march from another route until Sili Chang'an and other places.

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

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

Because Jueying had given Xi Yu as a gift early on, Cao Cao was riding his other favorite horse, Huang Feidian with claws.

This horse is tall and mighty, and its body is orange-yellow. It has a bit of power when viewed from a distance.

Cao Cao sat on it, but he was 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!"

Glancing at Dianwei, Cao Cao comforted Dianwei.

The latter smiled naively and nodded.

Xu Chu had no objection.

Since he followed Cao Cao, he has made many contributions, big and small.

After all, Dian Wei is Mr. Xi's guard, and Cao Cao's guard is ultimately only him.

The army moves forward.

Cao Cao looked at the fields around him, feeling a little emotional.

It has been more than eight years since he first scattered his family wealth from Chenliu and joined the army.

From the prefect of Dongjun, to the shepherd of Yanzhou, and now occupying the land of Liangzhou, he caters to the emperor like Xuchang.

These eight years, Cao Cao only felt like a blink of an eye.

But now, sitting in the land of two states, it also has the name of the emperor.

He has initially possessed the ability to change the general trend of the world.

In this battle, if we can take all the land in Guanzhong and connect horizontally, then there will be only the north and the south in the future.

Cao Cao's mind wavered.

At this moment, the breeze is blowing, which is cool.

It was fine weather for a march.

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

Xun You and Cheng Yu behind them were discussing something quietly, but Cao Cao didn't care.

Not long after, a scouting horse came to report that there was a horse coming from Xuchang behind.

Hearing the report, Cao Cao, along with Xun You and others, were somewhat puzzled.

This army has just been launched not long ago, why is there a horse from Xuchang.

It's hard what happened.

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao led the army and continued to march forward. He himself led Dian Wei and a group of people and followed slowly behind the army.

The speed slowed down.

Not long after, Cao Cao looked back, and sure enough, within sight, there was a dark shadow galloping towards this direction.

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

That is Jue Ying.

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

Seeing Jue Ying appear now, Cao Cao reacted instantly.

It must be Xi Yu who was able to ride Jueying here this time.

Sure enough, when he got close, Xi Yu's figure was already reflected in the pupils of Cao Cao and the others.

"Bongyi?"

At a distance of about ten feet, Cao Cao called out to Xi Yu.

Hearing the voice, Xi Yu Lema stamped his feet.

"Brother!"

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

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

It was normal for Cao Cao and others to know that he was chasing after him from Xuchang.

Before Xi Yu could speak, Cao Cao in front of him got off his horse.

"Feng Yi, 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 thinking of something.

It's hard to say, is Xi Yu planning to go out with him this time?

Did this guy finally understand that he is actually a peerless general?
Cao Cao was a little overjoyed, and the smile on his face was a little full.

Cheng Yu, Xun You and the others didn't feel that way, they only thought that maybe Xi Yu had forgotten to mention something important, so they caught up.

Dian Wei beside him was also a little puzzled.

But this time, he didn't follow suit.

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

"Brother, I suddenly remembered something and forgot to tell you!"

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

"This time in Wancheng, brother must not put yourself in a trap, and this time you have Zixiu and others following you, brother should be more careful!"

Uh!
Cao Cao was a little dazed.

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

It can be imagined that the other party caught up, but just wanted to tell himself to be careful.

There's nothing to be careful about.

He Cao Cao has fought many battles for so many years.

What's more, with 15 troops on the side this time, wouldn't it be easy to take down a mere Wancheng?
In Cao Cao's view, Xi Yu's worries were completely unnecessary.

"Feng Yi, you came after me this time just to tell me about this?"

Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, and asked a casual question.

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

This boy Fengyi is really too cautious!

Thinking in this way, Cao Cao raised his hand up and patted Xi Yu's chest.

"You boy, you think too much!"

"Although the military strength is outstanding, Cao Mou naturally has some experience in fighting such things."

"This battle, I'll let Feng Yi take a look at what it means to be able to fight!"

Cao Cao was full of confidence, but Xi Yu was a little speechless.

I know that your art of war is good.

However, my worry is not whether you can fight, but whether you care about your legs.

This matter has nothing to do with strategy.

With 15 people, a Wancheng is nothing at all.

As long as any general who can lead the army in battle wins Wancheng, it is like picking up the credit for nothing.

It's just that you, Lao Cao, are going to risk yourself!

Not to mention leading thousands of guards into the city, I have to sleep with my aunt in the middle of the night.

This kind of thing is simply committing suicide.

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

"Brother, since you are leading the army in battle, let's do the job of leading the army. I know that brother is romantic, so don't do unnecessary things this time!"

That's all I can say.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, good guy, I'm flirtatious, you kid is not much different from me.

Teenage girls are living in your house, how can you be better!
"Okay, to be righteous, and rest assured, if you don't believe me, I will bet with you today!"

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

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

"I hope my brother can win!"

At this time, Dajun's shadow had gradually faded away, and the two of them didn't say anything more.

Cao Cao got back on his horse, nodded towards Xi Yu, and made another plan to catch up with the army.

Cheng Yu and the others just watched Xi Yu's words.

Xi Yu looked at Dian Wei, but didn't say anything more after all.

What should be warned has already been said.

Talking too much is just annoying.

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

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

At this time, he didn't return to the government office, he turned around and went back to the theater by himself.

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

Right now Fang Zheng and Xi Zhicai are sitting in the gazebo, beside Xun Yu and Huang Zhong.

The four of them formed a mahjong table in an extremely weird way.

Seeing Xi Yu come back.

Huang Zhong immediately stood up from the table and stool.

Mr. finally came back, and playing mahjong with these three people in front of him was simply a big test for Huang Zhong.

Whether 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 the top team of smart people in Dahan today.

The four of them played mahjong, and he could understand what the three of them said, but he couldn't understand even a single sentence.

Huang Zhong was only pulled to make up the number of people, and the three of them didn't win him money.

But it's really uncomfortable to play.

"gentlemen!"

Huang Zhong stood up and shouted at Xi Yu, wanting to leave as if fleeing.

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

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

Seeing that the three of them didn't get 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 answer, and Xun Yu who was beside him also shook his head.

"Fengyi, although we are Duke Ming's advisers, Duke Ming's own military strategy is not inferior to ours!"

"I can't think of any mistakes in this battle. I think you are too cautious!"

Xi Yu didn't respond, but just followed the sign on the table.

"It's the first time I've seen Xi Yu being so cautious, it's strange!"

Guo Jia smiled lightly.

If Xi Yu hadn't married two wives, he would have thought that Xi Yu fell in love with Cao Cao!
"Touch yourself, all in one color!"

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

They are all smart people. Although they are talking, they know card counting in their hearts.

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, and then looked at Xun Yu: "Brother Wen Ruo, when did you imitate these two people so leisurely?"

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

"You're going to die sooner or later!"

"Xi, you're not going to get better. Guo Fengxiao is pulling you, so you go. He doesn't want his life, and you don't want his life either!"

"Tomorrow, I'll bury you two in the same grave, and put wine in front of your grave..."

Xi Yu opened his mouth and yelled at the three of them.

At this time, the three of them are a little numb!
"No fun, no fun!"

Guo Jia stood up, probably unable to bear it any longer, turned around and walked out, 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 ran directly to the side room where Huang Zhong was.

After thinking about it, he still felt a little uneasy!
Counting the days, Cao Cao's side arrived in Wancheng a day or two before Zhang Xiu surrendered. During this period, the two sides still had to negotiate.

Things are not urgent, but the preparations that should be made must still be done.

Now the supply battalion is going out with the army, but Huang Zhong doesn't follow.

Xi Yu planned to take Huang Zhong to Wancheng for a tour in two days. If something really important happened, he would be able to prepare better if he was close.

Think about it.

It's nothing more than a few days!
After meeting Huang Zhong, Xi Yu checked Huang Xu's current situation.

Nowadays, Dahan's newspapers have published news about the search for famous doctors, even Zhang Zhongjing.

I don't know that the other party didn't read the newspaper.

I can't say whether I will come to Xuchang or not!
But in the newspaper, Xi Yu told him that there was news about looking for Zhang Zhongjing in every issue.

Xi Yu thought, once the other party saw it, they would come after all.

After all, whoever finds himself looking for someone in the newspaper every day is more or less curious.

Huang Xu's situation is now stable.

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

"Old Huang, pack up and prepare for these two days, follow me to Wancheng!"

He said something to Huang Zhong, and the latter didn't have the slightest opinion, so he nodded and agreed.

……

Xi Yu was thinking of going to Wancheng to take a look in two days, but Cao Cao didn't take the other party's words to heart.

That night.

Cao Cao led the army to rest near a diversion of the Fei River.

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

Cao Cao sat in the big tent, thinking that today Xi Yu came here on horseback just to tell himself to be careful.

This matter really made him somewhat at a loss as to how to evaluate it!

Obviously possessing unparalleled military strength and superior resourcefulness and strategy, Xi Yu has never acted insolently.

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

That Lü Bu possessed high strength in force, when he was outside Hulao Pass, he didn't have the princes of the world in his eyes.

But playing Fengyi is completely different.

This time, this guy was even more cautious, making Cao Cao feel that it was a bit too much.

"Fengyi is just worried about Duke Ming!"

Cheng Yu smiled beside him.

Xun You didn't say much either, he had already simulated this battle dozens of times in his mind.

It can only be said that there is basically no possibility of losing!

Timing, favorable location, harmony of people, Cao Jun took full advantage.

How could it be possible to lose?

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

at the same time.

On the other side of Wancheng, it seems to be covered with gloomy clouds.

After the self-satisfied Cao Cao threatened to lead an army of 50, Zhang Xiu couldn't sit still, and couldn't sleep well.

The big man newspapers and periodicals that he did directly labeled him as a traitor.

It is said that Cao Cao's battle is based on the emperor's edict to crusade against non-officials!

Although he didn't have much respect for the imperial court, who among today's princes in the world puts the emperor in their eyes?

You, Cao Cao, didn't look for anyone else, but you came straight to me with an army of 15.

Zhang Xiu felt a little bitter in his heart!

He didn't know how to deal with it.

Previously, he followed his uncle to lead troops from Guanzhong to the border of Jingzhou, but failed to attack Rangcheng. Zhang Ji lost his arrow and died for some reason. Since then, he has taken over Zhang Ji's army.

Later, in desperation, they had no choice but to make peace with Liu Biao and stationed troops in Wancheng, which could be regarded as being attached to Liu Biao for the time being.

This time, he settled here and didn't think about attacking other places in the past.

He never thought about attacking Cao Cao.

Although Xuchang is not far away.

But today's Cao Cao is a land with two states, how can ordinary people provoke it.

He was not sick in his head, so he chose to attack Xu Chang.

Unless he was cornered, he absolutely didn't want to fight Cao Cao.

However, he didn't expect that even though he didn't provoke others, someone was still following him.

Is it just because of Wancheng's geographical factors?

Now Cao Cao's army has set out!
Wancheng Tanma replied, and the opponent's army was only less than a day away from Wancheng.

If you dare to fight on the third day, you will surely come to the city.

How can Wancheng resist an army of 15!

Zhang Xiu was a little nervous, and he knew in his heart that the best choice now was to serve the other party.

However, self-reliance and serving others are ultimately two concepts.

Affiliated to Liu Biao, he still has the right to stand on his own.

However, after joining Cao Cao, he will be involuntary in the future.

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

I heard that Sun Ce from the Jiangdong side already has a bit of momentum now.

Zhang Xiu thought he was no worse than Sun Ce.

I haven't made a name for myself yet, but I have to face such a mass creation!
Can't figure it out, Zhang Xiu can only find someone who can help him with advice, and in this Wancheng.

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

This person is Jia Xu who has been following the Xiliang army. Afterwards, he advised Li Jue, Guo Si and others to attack Chang'an, and Jia Xu made the world's situation turbulent by himself.

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

That night.

Zhang Xiu meets Jia Xu.

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

"I've seen the general!"

Jia Xu saluted with a smile!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiu was a little 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 army of 15 was not far away, and he had already sent several memorials to Liu Biao, but he still hadn't heard back from him until now.

Although he and Liu Biao are in an alliance, he is ultimately the weaker side.

Jia Xu looked up at Zhang Xiu.

"General, this time Cao's army is powerful, and it is impossible to fight against it with admonishment. It is also an option to surrender the city this time!"

Bring down the city?

This?
Zhang Xiu knew it in her heart, but Jia Xu said it more directly.

He also knows that in the current situation, he doesn't have much choice.
