"How are Gan Ning and Su Fei?"

Lu Bu looked at the information sent from Luoyang in the camp. Yuan Shao's crossing the river equipment had been built, and the water level of the river had also dropped. Yuan Shao could cross the river at any time.

"It's still the same. Gan Ning is willing to surrender, but Su Fei is unwilling, and Gan Ning helps Su Fei plead for mercy."

Pang Tong shook his head and said.

"Okay, let's leave the matter here to you. I will keep Gao Shun. From now on, you will assist Gao Shun in managing the military in Nanyang."

Lu Bu looked at Pang Tong and said.

"Is the lord going to leave now?"

Pang Tong looked at Lu Bu and asked not very surprised.

"Let go at dawn, the war in the north is about to begin, I have to go and watch."

Lu Bu nodded. The war on the other side of the river was urgent, and he had to go back quickly.

"Don't worry, lord, I will guard the lord in Nanyang."

Pang Tong bowed to Lu Bu and agreed solemnly.

"Su Fei and Gan Ning, you can do it. I guess I will figure it out in a few days. As for shipbuilding, you can take it slowly."

Lu Bu instructed Pang Tong.

...

By the river.

“Are the rafts ready?”

Yuan Shao asked to the counselor beside him.

"Lord, the rafts that you forced to cross are ready, you can cross the river at any time!"

Jushu replied.

"Okay, beat the drum and cross the river!"

Yuan Shao immediately ordered that he had been waiting for too long, and this battle broke out half a month ago.

The dull drum sounded, and the sound became louder and louder. Under the command of the officers, the soldiers in the array rushed to the huge raft on the river bank and rushed towards the opposite bank.

"Lord, Cao Cao only has 30,000 to 40,000 troops and horses that can't resist the lord's army."

Guo Tu smiled and bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "Yuan Shao likes to listen to something nice, and it is best to flatter him at this time."

"Cao Cao thought he could join forces with Lu Bu to deal with me, but he didn't know that I was guarding against them, so he asked Lu Bu to fight Liu Biao and wait until I defeated Cao Cao before dealing with them."

Yuan Shao laughed proudly, joining Liu Biao with this is his proud work, and it should be like this when they are in the distance.

"Let the second group of soldiers prepare, and you must kill the river today!"

Yuan Shao continued to order that it would be best to cross the river to do everything in one go.

"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you will bring the third group of soldiers and cross the river with a large shield!"

Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang and Wen Chou next to him and ordered that Cao Cao had a large number of small catapults. These catapults were fast, but had average lethality. They could block them as long as they held up a giant shield. These giant shields were reinforced.

"Yes, lord!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou took the order and went to select troops.

...

"Yuan Shao is finally ready to cross the river."

Seeing the soldiers on the opposite side boarding the huge raft, Cao Cao knew that the war was about today.

"Transfer, get the trench ready and launch immediately after entering range."

"The raiders on the river bank are also ready. If there are enemies who come ashore, they will kill them immediately!"

Cao Cao ordered in a cold voice, one of his first two defenses was a catapult and the other was a spearman.

Due to the impact of the water flow on the south bank of the Great River, unlike the gentleness of the north bank, the south bank is slightly steep.

"Lord, Yuan Shao is coming in a fierce manner this time, I'm afraid he won't give up so simply."

Xun You said to Cao Cao that Yuan Shao had been waiting on the north bank of the river for half a month because of heavy rain. Now Yuan Shao has lost his patience and the war will never stop easily.

"Of course, Yuan Shao actually joined forces with Liu Biao, and now that he has restrained Lu Bu, we have no help."

Cao Cao nodded. He had already learned about Nanyang. Liu Biao and Lu Bu started a war and would not be able to come to Dahe for a while.

"Lu Bu is very strange."

Xun You thought about it before saying to Cao Cao.

"Kongda, what's strange about it?"

Cao Cao looked at Xun You and asked, but he didn't see any problem with Lu Bu. Liu Biao threatened that he was responding to Yuan Shao's slogan of serving the king and suppressing the thieves, so he sent troops to attack Nanyang.

But Cao Cao knew in his heart that Liu Biao was the helper Yuan Shao found, with the purpose of restraining Lu Bu and preventing Lu Bu from interfering in the battle in the north.

"Lu Bu is very strong, and Liu Biao is also a navy army. Nanyang's water veins are limited. Lu Bu can easily defeat Liu Biao and defend Nanyang, and there is no need to go in person."

"Also, Lu Bu, who owns Bingzhou, is not just showing this now, but he has never used the remaining troops in Bingzhou."

Xun You spoke.

"What Xun Gongda means is that Lu Bu wants to make a profit?"

Cao Cao asked while touching his beard.

"This is not clear, but it is not ruled out that Lu Bu is more cautious and has enough troops to defend himself in Bingzhou."

Xun You replied uncertainly.

"Although Lu Bu is unconventional in his actions, he always takes action after preparing for it. This is Lu Bu's cunning. He seems crazy but is calm, just as his grandson said: attack him without any precautions and surprise him."

"This time, I should have been prepared for failure. After all, Yuan Shao is powerful and Lu Bu has limited troops to use. Even if he is defeated, he will not be injured."

Cao Cao analyzed.

"kill!"

At this moment, there was a loud shout of killing on the river surface, and Yuan Shao's vanguard had already attacked on a raft.

"put!"

On the south bank of the big river, a small trench made a "whizzing" whizzing sound, and the stones were thrown out and bombarded on the raft.

The screams rang on the raft, and the soldiers who were hit by the stones screamed and fell into the water.

The attack of the catapult did not prevent the rafts from slowing down. These rafts were very large and were reinforced and would not be easily destroyed by stones.

The raft was getting closer and closer to the south bank of the river, and the trenchers did not stop, and the stones kept flying down, and the fewer and fewer soldiers on the raft were.

By the time the raft arrived at the south bank, only half of the soldiers on the raft were left.

"kill!"

The soldiers rushed to the river bank and as the first to climb, as long as they could defend a place to welcome the subsequent army, they would make great contributions.

"kill!"

Just as Yuan Shao first drew the army stepped onto the river bank, Cao Cao's spearmen also stood up to attack. The spearmen with bunkers had an absolute advantage. The spearmen stabbed out in rows and took away the rows of Yuan Shao who stepped onto the river bank.

"Is this Cao Cao's defense?"

Seeing his Xiandeng being assassinated by Cao Cao's spearmen, Yuan Shao said indifferently.

"The second batch crosses the river, bring the ellipse and shields! Let Cao Cao see the real long weapons."

Yuan Shao ordered that when it comes to weapons, his halberd troops were no weaker than Cao Cao's spearmen.

The battle continued on the south bank of the Great River. Although Cao Cao's spearmen killed a large number of Yuan Shao's first landings, some people still rely on the terrain to occupy a relatively gentle river beach.

Yuan Shao's second river crossing force boarded the raft again and rushed towards the south bank.

These soldiers were holding long halberds and even soldiers held shields to cover them.

"put!"

The catapult troops had long discovered the second wave of departure across the river. The catapult was ready and was launched here just when the enemy entered the range.
