    In Huayin City, Cao Ren stood on the city wall. Under the inner wall behind him, the burned wolf smoke was still burning weakly. The light smoke curled up. The smell of burning wolf smoke was unpleasant. The soldier responsible for burning it was covering his mouth.  Nose, brows furrowed.

    Cao Ren naturally smelled the stench, but he didn't take it seriously. His mind was not here. He looked in the direction of Tongguan, which was thirty miles away from Tongguan. Due to the obstruction of mountains and woods, Tongguan could not be directly seen.

    However, Cao Ren had already deeply imprinted the appearance of Tongguan in his heart. Although he could not see it, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the mountains and woods and directly see Tongguan.

    Tongguan was captured by Liu Zhe and fell into the hands of the enemy. His contact with Cao Cao was cut off, and the road back to Yanzhou was blocked.

    What is even more dangerous is that if Tongguan falls into the hands of the enemy, Liu Zhe will have another knife on his neck, threatening his safety at all times.

    The knife in Feng Yi County has not been pulled out yet, and another knife was added in Tongguan. Cao Ren said that it was over.

    After learning about the fall of Tongguan, he, who was never easily angered, also cursed Xu Rong as a waste for more than half an hour.

    The fall of Tongguan means that Cao Cao's previous plan has been cancelled. Cao Ren has been busy for so long and done so many things, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain.

    However, Tongguan must be recaptured. This was the first priority. Cao Cao also sent messengers to climb over the mountains and ridges to find him, telling him the new plan and asking him to cooperate.

    Abandon all places except Chang'an, cooperate with Cao Cao to capture Tongguan, and capture Liu Zhe alive.

    Cao Ren was very reluctant to give up all the places he had run before. Not only did these places cost a lot of materials, they also cost him a lot of effort.

    In the past few years in Yongzhou, he had very little time to be intimate with his wife. He spent most of his time in these places, building a defensive line to defend against Guan Yu in Fengyi County and Ma Chao and Han Sui in Liangzhou.

    Cao Ren still had full confidence in the defensive line he had built, otherwise he would not have dared to confront Guan Yu with this small amount of troops, basking in the sun.

    Ma Chao and Han Sui once wanted to send troops to deal with him, but in the end they were defeated in front of the defense line he built, and could not even break through the first defensive point.

    Although Guan Yu never sent troops to attack, Cao Ren believed that he could still defend against the Youzhou army.

    However, when Tongguan was lost, Linjin City could not be attacked, and Urabanjin could not be blocked, it was inevitable to abandon these defensive points.

    Although Cao Ren felt distressed, he still followed Cao Cao's order, abandoned these places, and concentrated his energy. Among them, he defended Chang'an with 50,000 people, and the remaining less than 50,000 people he brought here to prepare to attack Tongguan.

    Cao Ren looked at Tongguan and murmured to himself: "Liu Zhe, you were careless this time. Think you can defend Tongguan with 20,000 people? I, Cao Zixiao, am here to tell you that your defense is nothing."

    Cao Ren prided himself on being good at defense, and was very disdainful of Liu Zhe's attempt to defend Tongguan with 20,000 troops and horses.

    Cao Ren believed that he might not be able to defend Tongguan with 20,000 troops and more than 100,000 troops, let alone Liu Zhe.  He had never heard that Liu Zhe was good at defense, only that Liu Zhe was good at sneak attacks.

    As for a sneak attack?

    Cao Ren has been on guard for a long time, and Cao Cao has repeatedly warned that every messenger who comes must carry the words "Be careful of Liu Zhe's sneak attack."

    Cao Ren still listened to Cao Cao's words, and he also knew that Liu Zhe liked sneak attacks, so he took precautions early.

    After coming to Huayin City, the number of scouts sent out was twice as many as usual, and there were only a lot more open and secret sentries outside the city. As long as Liu Zhe dared to come out, he would be able to get the news as soon as possible.

    Cao Ren blew the cold wind on the city wall for a while, and after pondering for a while, he saw smoke burning in the direction of Tongguan. He knew that Cao Cao had received the news, and the next step was to act as agreed and attack Tongguan with all his strength.

    "Send the order, the whole army will be in shape, repair the siege equipment, and attack Tongguan with all our strength in two days." Cao Ren received the news from Cao Cao and gave the order coldly.

    ¡°Then he took another look in the distance and saw that Tongguan was still hiding behind the mountains and woods. He snorted coldly and secretly made up his mind to capture Tongguan in two days.

    Otherwise, his relationship with Cao Cao would only be like this, and it would be super inconvenient to tell the other party by lighting up the smoke.

    "The order goes down. I will double the number of soldiers patrolling at night and double the number of torches. Everyone must be careful to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks." As Cao Ren went down, he continued to order, asking his soldiers to attackBe alert and prevent Liu Zhe from making a sneak attack tonight.

    Cao Ren felt that if he wanted to make a sneak attack, tonight would be the best time. His troops had just arrived in Huayin. They had just arrived and had not yet established a stable foothold, so it was a good opportunity.

    Cao Ren believed that if Liu Zhe wanted to make a sneak attack, he would never miss this opportunity tonight.

    Therefore, even if Cao Ren knew that his soldiers were very tired after traveling long distances, he still had to harden his heart and ask all his soldiers to cheer up and sleep with their eyes open tonight.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
