Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Rui and Diaochan set off with Hua Tuo on the day they learned that Chen Chu was recuperating in Shangdang.In order to prevent accidents, Lu Su sent five hundred iron guards to accompany him.Lu Su and Dian Wei did not leave Bingzhou, and Bingzhou needed them to sit in town.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the second day after Chen Chu returned to Shangdang to recuperate, Cao Cao, who was stationed in Huguan, finally got news from Yuan Shao.However, the news made Cao Cao shocked and angry.

It turned out that Yuan Shao really turned against him as Guo Jia expected.Yuan Shao withdrew from Jiguan seven days ago, but the army did not return to Luoyang, but went straight to Chenliu through Sishui Pass. [

Fortunately, Li Dian, the general guarding Chen Liu, discovered Yuan Shaojun's attempt in time, so Yuan Shaojun did not succeed in a surprise attack.But Chenliu had only [-] defenders, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Yuan Shao's troops, his situation was precarious.

"Yuan Shao is really hateful! I formed an alliance with him, but he turned his back!" Cao Cao roared angrily in Cao Jun's tent.Below Cao Cao stood the generals and counselors.

"My lord, let's go back to the army immediately and teach Yuan Shao a lesson!" Xia Houyuan came out and said, at this time Xia Houyuan looked extremely angry.

Immediately, all the generals echoed one after another, and the crowd seemed very angry.

When Cao Cao saw this, his face flushed, and he said in a loud voice, "Okay! Pass on the order, the whole army will be dispatched, and return to Chenliu today to fight Yuan Shao!"

"Yes!" All the generals agreed together, and immediately left the commander's tent.

Regarding Cao Cao's decision, the counselors headed by Guo Jia did not raise any objections. After all, under the current situation, if they do not return to the army immediately, they are afraid that Yuan Shao will swallow Cao Cao's rear lair.

After the generals left, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "My lord, we should send someone to negotiate with Chen Chu at this time, and try our best to persuade Chen Chu to stand still!"

Cao Cao nodded, then frowned, feeling a little worried in his heart.

Liu Ye on the side expressed Cao Cao's worries, and after listening to Guo Jia's suggestion, Liu Ye frowned slightly and asked, "I can understand Feng Xiao's concerns, but the enmity between us and the Northern Army is already deep. Is it possible that the Northern Army will stand still?"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, then stared at Guo Jia, waiting for Guo Jia's answer.

Guo Jia smiled confidently, and then explained: "My lord and Zi Yang's concerns are unreasonable, but I think Chen Chu will negotiate with us and will stand still!"

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the two, Guo Jia continued: "There are three reasons for this. One is that during the attack and defense of Huguan, the Zhengbei Army suffered heavy losses, and the [-] Hexi Army of the Zhengbei Army defending Huguan should have been completely wiped out; The second is that the Northern Conquest Army only captured Guanzhong. The situation in Guanzhong is not stable, and the activities of the Qiang people in the northwest and southwest are rampant. The Northern Conquest Army must first stabilize Guanzhong and suppress the Qiang people. Because of the above three points, there is no way for Chen Chu to use troops against the Central Plains in a short period of time."

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Liu Ye and Cao Cao couldn't help feeling their eyes light up.

"Feng Xiao's words really opened my eyes!" Cao Cao exclaimed happily.Liu Ye on the side showed a look of self-satisfaction.

"My lord, I'm overwhelmed!" Guo Jia said humbly and plainly, and then suggested: "Chen Chu won't make any big moves for at least half a year. If we find a way among the Qiang people, we should be able to hold Chen Chu back." One year! Taking advantage of this year, my lord must step up efforts to expand and accumulate strength for the decisive battle with Chen Chu in the future!"

Cao Cao frowned and nodded, paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "One year is enough! Then we will see who is the hero!"

At this time, Cao Cao's body exudes the aura of a hero who can't be compared with me.

Guo Jia couldn't help nodding, with a sincere smile on his lips. What he admired most was Cao Cao's courage to accept challenges. [

After Cao Cao laughed, his face straightened, and he said to Liu Ye who was beside him, "I'll leave it to Zi Yang to negotiate with Chen Chu!"

"Yes! I am determined to live up to my mission!"

At this moment, Guo Jia on the side suddenly coughed violently

stand up.When Cao Cao saw it, he couldn't help feeling tense, and hurried over to support Guo Jia and advised him with concern: "Feng Xiao is not in good health, let's rest early!"

Guo Jia shook his head, "I'm fine, my lord, don't worry!"

Cao Cao didn't listen to Guo Jia this time. Cao Cao frowned and said in a tone that could not be refuted: "No! I have already made a decision. I will send someone to send Feng Xiao back to Yanzhou tomorrow!"

Seeing Cao Cao's sincere expression, Guo Jia couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

Guo Jia bowed his head and thought for a moment, and felt that there was no complicated major event that could not be separated from him recently, so he let Cao Cao go.

Yuan Shao's sudden defection completely disrupted Cao Cao's planned deployment. In order to deal with Yuan Shao's army, Cao Cao had to immediately transfer all the troops back to Yanzhou.At the same time, Cao Cao sent Liu Ye, an important adviser, to conquer the Northern Army in order to repair Chen Chu.

Just as Cao Jun was busy preparing to set off, Yuan Shao's army thousands of miles away had already defeated Chen Liu.Li Dian, the general left by Chen, escaped with only 3000 people.

After capturing Chenliu, the gloom that had weighed on Yuan Shao's heart for many days was swept away, and Yuan Shao became energetic again.

Yuan Shao's army did not stop at Chenliu, and on the second day, a [-] army led by general Gao Lan went straight to Qiao County hundreds of miles away.

Xun Yu, who was stationed in Yanzhou, voluntarily gave up Qiaojun in view of the disadvantages of insufficient troops and too wide a defense area. Three days later, Yuan Shaojun Gaolan's troops occupied Qiaojun without bloodshed.

The successful acquisition of Qiao County made Yuan Shao ecstatic, and at the same time made Yuan Shao feel contemptuous.Yuan Shao ignored the opposition of his counselors and decided to continue eastward and attack Dingtao, the gateway to the west of Yanzhou.

Subsequently, 15 Yuan Shaojun led by Yan Liang left Chenliu, and [-] Yuan Shaojun led by Gao Lan left Qiaojun, and attacked Dingtao from two directions.

However, Cao Jun, who was waiting in battle, gave Yuan Shaojun a disarm.Yan Liang's [-] forwards, who were eager to advance, were ambushed in a valley [-] miles west of Dingtao, and the entire army was wiped out.

Annoyed and angry, Yan Liang then led an army to attack Dingtao, but after two days of continuous attack, after paying the price of more than [-] casualties, no progress was made.

On the third day, Gao Lan led the army to Dingtao City.Afterwards, hundreds of thousands of troops attacked the city in turn, and the yellow pressure was like turbid waves evacuating, and Dingtao City, which was in the center of the storm, seemed to be in danger.

The [-] Cao army guarding Dingtao showed an extremely tenacious will to fight, and they just blocked the waves of Yuan Shaojun's attacks.

After a few days, Dingtao City was already riddled with holes, the city was filled with shocking blood and corpses piled up like mountains.

With the continuation of the tragic war, both sides have shown fatigue, but the balance of the war has gradually tilted towards Yuan Shaojun's side. After all, the absolute superiority of military strength has become more and more obvious as time goes by.

Cao Ren and Li Dian stood on the top of the city gate, looking at Yuan Shaojun receding like a tide, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Looking around at the heavy casualties and exhausted soldiers, and seeing many collapsed city walls, the two of them couldn't help frowning again. [

"General Cao, when will my lord's army arrive?" Li Dian asked Cao Ren worriedly.

Cao Ren shook his head, but did not answer Li Dian, because he also had no idea in his heart.

Li Dian looked at Yuan Shaojun's barracks outside the city, and said worriedly: "If Yuan Shaojun continues to attack like this, our army can support it for three days at most!"

Cao Jun suffered heavy losses under Yuan Shaojun's strong attack for seven consecutive days, and more than half of the [-] defenders had been lost.If the situation continues, it will only be a matter of time before Dingtao falls.The generals and soldiers of the Cao army guarding Dingtao were full of pessimism, but they still had a glimmer of hope that the main force of their lord Cao Cao might suddenly arrive in the next moment.

Just when Dingtao was in danger under Yuan Shaojun's mad attack, a piece of good news finally reached the hands of Cao Ren and Li Dian.

At the same time, Yuan Shaojun's Yan Liang Gaolan and others were discussing the next attack strategy.

"General Gao Lan, your troops will launch the first wave of attack tomorrow morning, and then my troops will follow up step by step.

Take turns to attack Dingtao!Dingtao is already riddled with holes, I believe we will be able to enter Dingtao city tomorrow! "Yan Liang said confidently.

Gao Lan on the side nodded without raising any objections.

While the generals were discussing, Yuan Shao's order came suddenly.

"General Yan Liang, the lord has ordered that the army quickly withdraw to Chenliu!"! ~!
