Lu Xuan had a plan and ordered: "Cao Cao, I will transfer Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao to you, and then I will transfer Huang Zhong's subordinates to cooperate, and then let Guo Jia be your military adviser to make plans. You lead 50,000 elite troops and quickly go north to Lanshi City.

Solve the crisis in Lu Rong of Lan City."

"I obey!"

Cao Cao answered decisively.

He was even more excited.

This time, the people Lu Xuan gave him were all elites, and Huang Zhong was a real tiger general with very strong strength.

Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao are both from their own side.

In addition, Guo Jia has become his adviser. The two of them were once monarchs and ministers, and there will be no conflicts if they work together again to make arrangements.

Lu Xuan turned his eyes and said again: "I personally commanded the battle of Suratuo. Xun Yu was stationed in Huashi City, dispatching food and grass and arranging logistics for the south and north. Lu Su also further purged the place."

"Wars must be fought, and governance must be advanced."

"Don't ignore local governance just because war is coming. The more chaotic the situation, the more stable it is."

Lu Xuan looked serious and ordered: "Zhang Liao, Chen Dao, Zhang Ren and Gao Shun's troops should turn around and head towards Surathuo, and join me to help Guan Yu. Zhao Yun's troops in the south will continue to attack the south of Tianzhu and capture the south.

Still in the area of ​​resistance.”

"I obey my orders!!"

Lu Su and Xun Yu answered loudly.

Lu Xuan waved his hands and said: "Let's make arrangements individually, hurry up, and set off for Suraduo tomorrow morning."

Everyone bowed and left in a hurry.

Lu Xuan also went to the harem. After leaving Hua's City, he had to talk to Da Qiao and others.

When Lu Xuan went to the harem and was unable to escape, Cao Cao did not wait until he set off early tomorrow morning. He took the lead in arranging people to quickly pass the order and notify Huang Zhong, Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao's troops to go north to meet at Lan's City.

At the same time, Cao Cao and Guo Jia led a group of cavalry guards and headed north first.

When Cao Cao went north, he arranged sentinels to learn about the situation.

Cao Cao led his men north. Because Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao's troops were not far from Huashi City, they followed and joined Cao Cao first.

The army hurried all the way and only stopped to rest late at night every day. Because the weather was hot and the night was not very cold, they lit a bonfire in the wilderness and rested against the fire.

Cao Cao sat by the bonfire, looked at Guo Jia aside, and asked: "Feng Xiao, Lan's City will definitely be besieged. In addition, the strength of the Parthian Kingdom is not yet known. How do you think we can defeat the enemy?"

Guo Jia looked calm and replied: "King Qin, it is not complicated to solve the danger of Lanshi City."

Cao Cao asked: "General An will follow the filial piety plan?"

Guo Jia replied: "On our way north to Lan's City, there is a special rest area for elephant soldiers. This is a place specially trained for elephant soldiers. When we go to fight here, we only need to mobilize a hundred elephant soldiers as a surprise force, which is enough to defeat them in one battle.

other side."

"The elephant soldiers are the real trump card."

"As long as the opponent is unprepared, the elephant soldiers are enough to catch the opponent off guard."

"After the first battle with the Parthian Kingdom, we successfully entered Lan's City. After meeting up with Lu Rong, we can consider the next direction of the battle. Of course, if we defeat the elite soldiers of the Parthian Kingdom for the first time and the battlefield situation changes, then the situation on the battlefield will change.

It’s all about improvising.”

"In general, with the elephant soldiers as a surprise force, the army defeated the first wave of Parthian offensive."

Guo Jia looked very calm.

For someone like him who has been on the battlefield for many years and has seen countless battles, there is nothing to be nervous about.

Although Anxi was strong, Guo Jia was not afraid.

Cao Cao's eyes became brighter and he praised: "Fengxiao's suggestion is really exquisite. Speaking of which, I have fallen into the original fighting mode, thinking about the cooperation of cavalry and infantry, but ignored the advantages of Tianzhu elephant soldiers.

.The elephant soldier is a good thing and can play a surprising role."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "What King Qin said makes sense."

"My lord, General Xiahou invites you to go."

Dian Wei came to Cao Cao and reported.

After Cao Cao heard this, he told Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, we have to travel tomorrow, so you should rest early."

Guo Jiadao: "The same goes for King Qin."

Cao Cao came to Xiahou Dun and glanced around. Xiahou Dun was surrounded by Ma Chao, Xia Houen, and some people from the Cao family.

Cao Cao frowned when he saw so many people gathered.

He calmly looked at Xiahou Dun and asked, "Yuan Rang, what's the matter?"

Xiahou Dun hesitated to speak, but swallowed back the words that were on his lips, looked at Xiahou En, and ordered: "Xiahou En, you are the one who brought up the matter, you can tell me."

Cao Cao looked even more solemn.

What does it mean when these people gather together and look like they are surrounded by clouds and mountains?

Xiahou En is also from the Xiahou family.

However, it belongs to a very remote branch and is not a direct lineage like Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun. In the past, Xia Houen worked by Cao Cao's side, and later he joined the army.

Xia Houen's martial arts skills were not strong, his strategy was poor, and he had little influence in the army.

Xia Houen glanced around and saw that many soldiers were resting.

They are surrounded by their own people.

Xia Houen's eyes were solemn and he said: "King Qin, this time we go north to attack Lanshi City. General Xiahou Dun and General Ma Chao have returned. In addition, Military Advisor Guo is also here, and the Cao family's strength is completely together."

"In addition, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was attacked by the Parthian Kingdom and the European Roman Kingdom at the same time in Huashi City, and faced unprecedented trouble. In addition, in the south of Tianzhu, there are actually some nobles who have escaped, and they also want to fight against the emperor."

"The emperor's situation is not very good."

"This is the opportunity for us to regain our country."

"We first capture Huang Zhong and take control of the army, then capture Lanshi City in a dignified manner, cutting off the connection between Ming Dynasty and Huashi City, and cutting off the Ming Emperor's retreat."

Xia Houen looked very eager.

He looked excited and said: "In addition, General Manager Xun is in Huashi City. As long as the King of Qin comes forward, General Manager Xun will definitely be willing to submit to you. With General Manager Xun cooperating inside and outside, we have a chance to capture the Ming Emperor in Xiangzhou. Take it.

If you kill the Ming Emperor, you can kill him back."

Cao Cao looked at Xia Houen and his face turned cold.

He looked at the other people, looking away, avoiding Cao Cao's eyes one by one, because they were panicked by Cao Cao's stare.

Cao Cao asked: "Who asked you to say this?"

"It's me!"

Xia Houen spoke loudly.

He looked serious and said quickly: "We, the Cao family and the Xiahou family, are all suppressed and restricted in every way. If we don't have a chance, that's it. Now that we have a chance, we naturally can't let it go. King Qin, this time...

"

Phew!

There was a muffled sound.

Xia Houen's expression suddenly turned painful. He looked down and saw Cao Cao stabbing his heart with lightning speed.

"Prince Qin, you, you..."

Xia Houen looked in disbelief.

He wanted to continue speaking, but when the words reached his lips, before he could continue speaking, Cao Cao suddenly pulled out his sword from its sheath, and blood spurted out.

Xia Houen screamed, his body fell to the ground, and his breath died.

Xiahou Dun saw this scene and was surprised by Cao Cao's decisiveness and asked: "Brother, this is..."

"Shut up!"

Cao Cao scolded him sharply.

He stared at Xiahou Dun with an unprecedented severity in his eyes, and scolded: "You and Ma Chao are both good generals. However, you were once enemies of His Majesty. If it were other emperors, you would not have the opportunity to display your talents.

"

"It's His Majesty's trust that gave you the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy and kept you safe and sound."

"What are you doing now?"

"To be with someone like Xia Houen, do you think you are living impatiently?"

Cao Cao's voice was low, and his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, extremely angry.

He held the sword, and under the firelight, the blade showed a cold gaze. He continued: "Throughout the ages, people with our status have still had the opportunity to make meritorious deeds after becoming kings and defeating bandits, and have the opportunity to show off their talents.

It’s not that we are powerful, it’s that His Majesty is kind.”

"Without Your Majesty, we would have died long ago."
