"Jiang Qi, tomorrow you will lead your troops and horses to attack the city in conjunction with Ding Yuan! Wen Chou, you will lead your troops and horses to capture Baima!"

Yuan Shao followed Guo Tu's wishes and issued orders one by one.

"Currently, Cao Cao is fighting against the Yellow Turbans in Jibei. My lord can transfer Bao Xin to Dongjun. Cao Cao will be isolated and helpless, and he will not be able to stop the Yellow Turbans from advancing."

"Is this plan too artificial?" Yuan Shao asked.

The next step for him to capture Dongjun is to "pacify" the Yellow Turbans. If the Yellow Turbans cannot come through, there will be no next step. If Bao Xin is transferred, Cao Cao will be isolated, which will be dangerous.

For a time, Yuan Shao was unable to make a choice. Cao Cao was not just Cao Cao. Behind him were the Cao family, the Xiahou family, and a series of affiliated families. They were a force that could not be ignored in the Peiguo Qiao County area.

"No!" Feng Ji stopped him directly, "Meng De is an old friend of the lord, so this move may be disgraceful and damage the lord's wisdom!"

"Cao Mengde doesn't know what's good and what's good. He doesn't do good things to Jinan ministers, so he insists on coming to Yanzhou to meddle in other people's affairs. This is his own fault!" Guo Tu said tit for tat.

"The Yellow Turban is the public enemy of the Han Dynasty. Everyone can punish it and everyone can punish it. Mengde's move is beneficial to the country and his personal reputation. How can it be an act of meddling in other people's affairs!" Feng Ji did not give in at all.

"Feng Yuan Tu, you!" Guo Tu was furious and pointed at Feng Ji angrily, "In a great dispute, the strong will live and the weak will die. If you only have public fame and private gain in mind, isn't it just fishing for fame?"

Feng Ji was speechless for a moment, or he may have felt that the differences between the two could no longer be explained through words.

"My lord, we should continue to cut off the situation and suffer the chaos. Has my lord forgotten the defeat in Hanoi?" Guo Tu spoke again.

The word "Defeat in Hanoi" stung Yuan Shao like a thorn in his buttocks. He frowned, gritted his teeth, and punched the table with a "bang".

"In the name of Zhou Mu, I sent an order to Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin to go up the river and assist in attacking Dongjun!"

…

"Assist in attacking Dongjun? With the Yellow Turban army in sight, is there any reason to leave?" Bao Xin was very confused as he held the state pastoral document.

Bao Xin said that he didn't understand why he was sent to attack Dongjun when the Yellow Turban Army surrounded Jibei County.

"Mengde, what do you think I should do?"

Cao Cao's attention was still on the document. The meaning of the document was very clear. Bao Xin was transferred and Cao Cao was left alone and helpless.

Originally, he wanted to kill me? Cao Cao easily had this idea.

"Meng De?" Bao Xin asked again.

"You must obey Zhou Mu's orders. Don't forget how Qiao Mao died!"

Cao Cao's words awakened Bao Xin.

"No wonder it's so abnormal. Could it be that Yuan Shao wants to kill me and then install his cronies?"

Bao Xin knew clearly that although he participated in the alliance against Dong, the Yuan family did not have much involvement with him, and furthermore, Bao Xin was the general under the command of He Jin.

Just when Cao Cao and Bao Xin both felt that Yuan Shao was putting themselves to death, Lou Gui said: "Bao Mansion Lord, Meng De, you two, please don't force yourself to speculate. I think Yuan Shao transferred Bao Xin's order just to break the situation."

.”

"Break the situation?" Cao Cao looked puzzled, "Uncle Zi might as well speak more clearly."

"Now Cao and Bao's armies are trapped in Lu County, and the Yellow Turbans are also involved here. If time goes by, Jibei Kingdom may become a barren land! Yuan Shijun's move is to use retreat to advance.

First, transfer Lord Baofu to the west to wait for the Yellow Turbans. Mengde will lead his army to retreat temporarily, and when the Yellow Turbans advance, they can attack their rear. With echoes from the front and back, and coordination from all parties, how can the Yellow Turbans not be destroyed?"

After hearing these words, Cao Cao and Bao Xin looked at each other and stroked their beards involuntarily.

It is said that people will do this action at two times, when they are proud and when they are doubtful.

In this situation, the two of them were stroking their beards, obviously because of the latter.

Cao Cao: I doubt that Benchu ​​was so smart!

Bao Xin: I doubt that the Yuan family would be so kind!

Cao Cao sighed and said to Bao Xin: "The matter has come to this. You cannot violate the orders of Shangguan. You should lead your troops to Lu County. I will guard it for you. Maybe the two Yuan armies, Liu Xuande and Fu Nanrong, are almost here.

!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the hall: "Report——"

The messenger came in and said: "General Cao, General Liu's reinforcements have arrived in the west of the city and are fighting with the enemy."

Cao Cao smiled heartily: "Haha, say Liu Bei, Liu Bei will be here!"

As he went to get his helmet, he said with a smile: "Let's go, let's fight to the west together, join forces with Xuandeli, and kill him. You can take this opportunity to break out!"

Cao Cao Bao Xin immediately led his troops out and marched about a mile or two to the west. As expected, he saw a fighting formation. As far as he could see, there were yellow scarf troops wearing various colors and weapons. The only thing they had in common was that they were fighting.

Either the head is wrapped, or the hands are wrapped in a yellow scarf.

"No, Xuande has been surrounded! Send reinforcements quickly!" Cao Cao ordered.

Before he could step on his horse, a roar suddenly erupted from the front, and then he saw a general in black swiping his snake spear, knocking several Yellow Turbans away, and breaking out of the encirclement.

"What a fierce general!" Cao Cao boasted.

Then I saw a green-robed general, wielding a broadsword, opening and closing, and the yellow scarf army was blocking him in front. Like ripe orange wheat, with one strike of the sword, there was a good harvest.

Afterwards, many cavalrymen followed him, tearing apart the enemy formation and rushing out with him.

No, it should be said that he rushed in.

They forced their way into the Yellow Turban Army's formation and came to Lu County to join them.

Then, a black horse sprang out, a general holding two swords, slashing with the left and slashing with the right, blocking with the left and stabbing with the right.

Cao Cao recognized that it was Liu Bei.

"Cao Ren! Lead the army to attack the left wing. Xiahou Dun! Lead the army to attack the right wing. Cao Hong, follow me and attack the central army. Kill the Yellow Turban Square Head and welcome Xuande!" Cao Cao immediately ordered.

The three armies of Cao's army marched out together, with high morale and loud shouts.

Although Liu Bei's front army charged cleanly, the rear army fought fiercely and fiercely. Liu Bei's army was never equipped with good equipment. Even after he became Pingyuan Prime Minister, he still did not have the extra money to assemble his own troops, even though he governed the country with integrity.

A set of armor.

The charge of Cao Cao's army frightened the Yellow Turban Army, which was already showing signs of defeat. Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun led some cavalry to launch a pincer offensive on the left and right, forming an encirclement. The morale of the Yellow Turban Army dropped sharply, and their fighting spirit collapsed, and that

Commander Fangtou also fled in panic on his horse.

Liu Bei took a look at the battlefield and did not order a pursuit. Seeing Cao Cao approaching on horseback, he quickly said to Guan Yu who came to his side: "Clear the battlefield quickly and collect usable things!"

There were weapons, armor, a few war horses, and some soldiers carrying food and even money.

"Xuan De is mighty, and Cao Cao is very grateful for your support!" Cao Cao said with cupped hands.

Liu Bei sheathed his sword and returned the salute: "Mengde doesn't need to be polite. As the King of Bohai said, they are all serving the Han!"

With that said, Liu Bei calmly looked at the battlefield and saw Guan Yu commanding the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

"This is not a place for conversation. Please Xuande come into the city to talk!" After that, Cao Cao said to Bao Xin: "I'm going to Dongjun now, so take care of yourself!"

Bao Xin returned the gift and looked at Cao Cao and Liu Bei respectively.

"Jibei Kingdom will be handed over to you two!"

After saying this, Bao Xin led his army and headed out.

"That horse! I saw that horse first!" Zhang Fei's bluffing voice came.

Cao Cao followed the message and saw that it was the black-clothed general who was talking about going to lead some of the horses that Cao Ren had collected. Cao Cao couldn't help but frown.

Cao Ren looked helpless and turned to Cao Cao for help: "Brother, this..."

It turned out that there was a conflict over cleaning supplies on the battlefield. The most precious thing, the war horse, was naturally the most sought after.

Cao Cao twitched the corner of his mouth and shouted to Cao Rendao:

"All the supplies collected in this battle will go to Xuande!"
