Chapter 560: Little Sword and Sword

"Report—Report to Duke Wei! Liu Pan personally led a large army of 200,000, and the vanguard Zhang He invaded the plains!"

"Report - Report to Duke Wei! Zhang Fei brought 100,000 Bingzhou troops from the west and has arrived in Zhongqiu County. Our army's General Xiahou Dun asked for help!"

"Report - Report to Duke Wei! Gongsun Zan of Youzhou commanded 100,000 troops and had already reached the north of Leling County. General Xiahou Yuan was in a fierce battle with him!"

The successive battle reports made Cao Cao frown.

He said in a deep voice: "Liu Jikai came so fast!"

He thought that the Big Ear Thieves and Sun Quan could hold Liu Pan for some time.

Unexpectedly, they were paper tigers.

It was broken by Liu Pan with a slight poke.

Now all the pressure is pressing on Cao Cao.

It's really a bit heavy!

More than 400,000 troops advanced side by side.

It would be impossible to say that Cao Cao was not under pressure!

Originally before Liu Pan arrived.

The situation is very good.

Cao Cao has successfully captured the three counties of Jizhou, Qinghe and Leling.

It was about to drive Zhang He out of Jizhou.

Unexpectedly, Liu Pan came.

The situation immediately changed drastically.

Thousands of Qilin Army seem to have found its backbone.

Rejuvenate the high fighting spirit!

Cao Cao lowered his head and fell into deep thoughts.

There is no need to worry too much about Leling.

Xiahou Yuan is known as "Miao Talent".

Both civil and military.

He is a rare handsome talent.

Cao Cao only needs to order Zang Ba to lead 200,000 Qingzhou troops to assist in the war.

After all, the Qingzhou Army is a group army under Cao Cao.

The combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the local garrison troops.

Under the joint leadership of Xiahou Yuan and Zang Ba.

There should be no problem in resisting Gongsun Zan.

But what should I do in the other two directions?

Cao Cao was in charge of the main force.

It's easy to say something.

It is unlikely to win a big victory.

But it would not be easily defeated by Liu Pan.

But there is still pressure.

Cao Cao had no way to draw troops from other places to participate in the battle at this moment.

Only steadily play.

He entered a protracted confrontation with Liu Pan.

Be careful not to make mistakes.

That's all, it's just that Liu Pan won't have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Calculate it all over the place.

Xiahou Dun's side became the main problem.

Zhang Fei is a well-known "enemy of thousands of people".

The force is only higher than that of Xiahou Dun.

He also has Liao Hua, Zhang Bao and others to assist him.

The troops were far above Xiahou Dun.

If you fight head-on, Xiahou Dun will not be able to take advantage of it.

The most important thing is that after so many years of hard work.

Zhang Fei's ability to lead troops to fight has made great progress.

It’s no longer the Feng Fei who was about to stab him ten thousand transparent holes when he saw someone.

Instead, it gradually transforms from a reckless man and succeeds.

Become a qualified leader.

Although he can't be called handsome.

But he has long been able to stand alone.

It can be seen from the miracle of Guan Yu flooding the seven armies.

Today's "enemies of ten thousand people" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

He has long since escaped from the category of a powerful general who simply rushed to the formation.

Entering the ranks of contemporary famous generals.

Therefore, Zhang Fei's aggressive coming was what Cao Cao was most worried about.

Xun You seemed to see Cao Cao's concerns.

Take the initiative to offer advice:

"General Xiahou Dun is more brave and lacks wisdom and strategy. It is better to send General Cao Xiu to help him."

Cao Xiu was Cao Cao's follower.

Because of Cao Cao's origin.

He was originally a descendant of the Xiahou family.

Later he adopted the Cao family.

Therefore, the Cao family and the Xiahou family are both Cao Cao's clans.

Cao Xiu was also considered a descendant of Xiahou Dun's clan.

According to his seniority, he would also call Xiahou Dun an uncle.

Although Cao Xiu is young.

But I have developed a strong skill.

He is more famous for his calmness and wit.

He was able to be one of the "Eight Tiger Cavalry" of the Cao clan, together with his uncle Xiahou Dun and other famous generals.

It can be seen that this young man is by no means simple.

It was not because of having relatives with Cao Cao, who went to the back door to get on the post.

Cao Cao understood Xun You's meaning.

Xiahou Dun and Cao Xiu came from the same clan.

They have a good relationship in private.

If you encounter something, please.

Xiahou Dun was still willing to listen to Cao Xiu's opinions.

Besides, there is also Cao Cao's relationship that is sandwiched in it.

Xiahou Dun even for Cao Cao's sake.

We cannot turn a deaf ear to Cao Xiu's suggestions.

This will make you more sure to fight against Zhang Fei.

Cheng Yu took the opportunity to make a comment:

"If Duke Wei still feels it is inappropriate, he can issue a notice to General Cao Xiu and let him take him to Zhongqiu together.
