    It¡¯s fun to watch without ads!

    ????????????????????? Although Liu Bin¡¯s propaganda team has always done a good job, the people have always praised the slaves in Youzhou, and they live better than the people in other places.  But no matter how good you are, you are still a slave.  How the slaves in Youzhou live, they can't see or know.  I can only listen to some legends.  But what happened to the slaves around them was real.

    And now it¡¯s under Cao Cao¡¯s rule.  Neither the officers, soldiers nor the people were wealthy.  But I can always make ends meet and have hope of living.  Since he can survive, who would be willing to take unknown risks and be captured as a slave?

    ¡°As a result, both the officers and soldiers and the common people were extremely afraid of being captured as slaves by Youzhou¡¯s troops.  Of course, he works extremely hard when fighting.  But now none of these people know how many troops have come to Youzhou.  Of course, people will panic and run for their lives.

    But no matter what.  Now this city gate is firmly controlled by Gan Ning.  Zhao Yunna, who was waiting for the signal in the distance, also rushed over quickly.

    At this time, Che Wei, the city guard general of Luoyang, was wolfing down his breakfast.  Suddenly, there was chaos outside. Before Captain Che could ask, a small colonel ran in in a panic and reported: "General, something bad has happened. The soldiers and horses from Youzhou are coming."

    " Che Wei was furious at that time.  Youzhou soldiers and horses are coming?  This is impossible.  Didn't they confront Yan Liang and Wen Chou in Guandu?  How could they possibly come to Luoyang?

    "General, please give the order."

    The principal¡¯s request for instructions made Che Wei wake up.  Anyway.  Now that it's here, you have to fight it quickly.  I finally got the recommendation from Mr. Cao Hong.  The position we have today must not be lost.

    Captain Che shouted loudly: "Give me the order quickly and ask the troops to assemble for me."

    Orders one after another were constantly shouted from Che Wei's mouth, organizing the troops to prepare for battle.  The captain himself also hurriedly put on his armor and rushed out.

    But how could there be enough time to rush into the challenge?

    Zhao Yun and Gan Ning¡¯s troops have all rushed into the city, and they have the support of the Intelligence Department. They are familiar with all the important places in the military camps in the city.  Cao's soldiers from the four barracks in Luoyang had just left the camp gate and met Zhao Yun's cavalry separately before they could gather together.

    There was a dense rain of arrows and a stampede of angry horses. He was calculating with his mind but not intending to hit more with fewer hits.  There are eight thousand Cao soldiers in four camps.  Before they had time to exert their own strength, they were defeated one by one and fled for their lives in a hurry.

    And the city guard captain had just rushed onto the street when he encountered Gan Ning coming towards him.  When Gan Ning saw how Che Wei was dressed as the city guard, Gan Ning didn't wait for Che Wei to call out.  He went up and cut off Captain Che's head with a single blow, and shouted loudly: "The guard of Luoyang City is dead, so I won't capture him until I wait!"

    The hundreds of officers and soldiers who followed Captain Che out immediately ran away for their lives.

    By noon, the entire Luoyang was in the hands of Zhao Yun and Gan Ning.  In addition to following the staff plan, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning left a hundred soldiers behind, with the cooperation of the intelligence team, to calm the people and open warehouses to provide food.  Zhao Yun and Gan Ning raised their troops again and slowly chased the deserters towards Hulao Pass.

    According to the information provided by the intelligence team, Cao Cao deployed his troops on the entire Sili ground at three points and one line.

    The Mengjin Barracks is a forward sentry camp with five thousand soldiers stationed there. It can provide early warning and request for support.  As for Luoyang, as a large city in Sili's underworld, there were eight thousand soldiers stationed in the center of Sili's underworld.  You can support Meng Jin or hold on to the city.  If it doesn't work, you can lead the troops back to Hulao Pass.  Joined with the three thousand garrison at Hulao Pass to guard the choke point.  This gave Cao Cao enough time to come to the rescue from Yanzhou.  Hulao Pass is a dangerous pass with three thousand defenders.  Plus the defenders who returned from Luoyang and Mengjin.  As long as they hold on, even hundreds of thousands of troops can hold on for ten days and a half.

    Such a defensive deployment can be described as rigorous and thorough.  It's a pity that one mistake and the whole game is lost.  After the Mengjin outpost was quietly pulled out, Luoyang became a blind man. Before he had time to react, he was captured by Zhao Yun and Gan Ning.  Now as long as Hulao Pass is captured again, Cao Cao's troops on the entire Sili ground will no longer be able to stop him.  The rest of the cities and counties in Sili only have dozens or hundreds of guards to maintain law and order.  Naturally, it can be dispersed in a hurry.  Easily taken.

    That night, a group of defeated soldiers from Luoyang came to the gate of Hulao Pass and called the city.

    This is not the first batch.  Hulao Pass is only one day's journey from Luoyang. If you go fast, you will arrive as soon as it gets dark.  The chariot guards guarding Hulao Pass had already received the news.  I didn't even sleep, so I was just standing guard here.  The defeated soldiers also gathered in batches one after another.  It's just that before they were small troops of dozens or hundreds.  But this group is a large force of two thousand people.

    The carriage is more or lessFortunately, with these people plus my own three thousand soldiers, there are six or seven thousand.  There are these soldiers guarding Hulao Pass.  It should be able to withstand it for a while.  As long as he can persist until Prime Minister Cao's troops arrive, then he will have made a great achievement.

    At that time, the captain ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered, the city gates to be opened and people to gather these defeated soldiers into the city.

    But just when all the defeated soldiers were about to enter the city, the two big men walking at the end suddenly swung the steel knives in their hands and cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge.  Another shot a rocket into the sky.

    Che Zhou realized at that time that something was wrong.  He shouted quickly: "Close the city gate!"

    But how can this be closed?  The two thousand soldiers and horses who had entered the city all roared and started to kill.

    It was a mess all of a sudden.  The uniforms of the defeated soldiers were the same as those of the guards at Hulao Pass, and the defeated soldiers had their own ways of identifying them.  But there are no defenders in those Hulao prisons.  During the melee, the soldiers and horses of both sides became entangled.  There were many defenders at Hulao Pass who killed each other.

    Before the chariot could take command, a big man rushed up to the city and hacked him to death with a halberd. The big man casually cut off the chariot's head and shouted loudly: "The guard of Hulao Gate is dead. Youzhou Ganning  Who dares to come here and die!"

    All Cao soldiers were afraid when they heard this.  At this time, there was a thunderous sound of horse hooves in the distance, which was deafening. All Cao's soldiers in Hulao were already waiting until the situation was over.  He ran away as soon as he could.  Unable to run away, they all reluctantly put down their weapons and surrendered.

    Although these Cao soldiers are still afraid of becoming slaves in Youzhou.  But you can still live as a slave, right?  At least it would be much better than surrendering and being killed.

    Zhao Yun and Gan Ning took Hulao at night.  At this point, there were no more Cao soldiers in the Sili area to stop him.  Cao Cao established various settlements in Sili.  They were all destroyed by Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, and all the villagers were released by Zhao Yun and Gan Ning.  All the food that Cao Cao accumulated these days was distributed to the people by Zhao Yun and Gan Ning.

    And the news that Sili was occupied also spread.

    Although Sili has all fallen.  However, the spread of news is still relatively slow in this era.  At this time, Xu Du was still calm.  All the people and officials are still busy with their respective jobs.  Spring plowing is a busy season.  However, at this time, Cao Cao's exclamation came from the meeting hall in Prime Minister Cao Cao's house.

    "What? Sili was occupied by Youzhou?" Cao Cao asked in silence.

    "Prime Minister Qi, this is indeed the case."

    Cao Cao remained silent.

    "Prime Minister, Sili is an important place for us to connect with the Xiliang army and jointly fight against Liu Bin. We must not lose anything. The general is incompetent. I am willing to recruit a general with 100,000 elite troops to regain the important place of Sili for the Prime Minister." Xiahou  Dun saw that Cao Cao was silent, so he stood up to share Cao Cao's worries.  After the Youzhou Army occupied the territory of the Xiliang Army.  They have been strictly preventing the news from leaking, so Cao Cao and the others still don't know that all the Xiliang Army has surrendered to the Youzhou Army!

    "Wait a minute!" Cao Cao hadn't waited for him to speak.  Cheng Yu quickly stopped him and said, "General Yuan Rang, please calm down for now! This matter still needs to be discussed."

    Xiahou Dun was not very angry at first.  It's just that the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers.  Seeing that Cao Cao was a little disappointed, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but share Cao Cao's worries.  At this time, seeing Cheng Yu's words, he asked: "What does Cheng Yu mean by this?"

    Cheng Yu raised his fist towards Xiahou Dun.  He spoke to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister! Although Sili is an important area for us to connect the Xiliang Army. It has immeasurable strategic significance, but for Liu Bin in Youzhou, it has little strategic value and economic value.  It's worth it. That Sili city has suffered from wars for many years, and all the millions of people in Luoyang were wiped out by Liu Bin. In the past two years, although it has improved under our governance, some people have also gathered again.  But the place is still very desolate. If Liu Bin occupied it, he would not only need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to support it. He would also have to face the two-sided attack from us and the Xiliang Army at the same time. If he really occupied it for a long time,  Then he would be like being crushed by two millstones. No matter how many elite troops he had, they would all be wasted there. This is what a wise man will not do. And Liu Bin's soldiers and horses are known as the world's best.  First Army. There are no empty soldiers under the famous name. Liu Bin will not be so blind. Therefore, Liu Bin occupied Sili. It was a trick to take advantage of our unpreparedness. Liu Bin's real purpose is actually in Guandu.  He must have seen that our defense in Guandu was impeccable, so he attacked from the east and west. He captured Sili and led us to divide our troops to rescue. Then he could raid Guandu and attack our Yanzhou."

    Cao Cao nodded when he heard this.

    Cao Hong asked hesitantly: "Cheng Shangshu, according to your opinion, can we let Liu Bin occupy Sili? Then if Liu Bin mobilizes his troops to fight against us in Yanzhou from Sili, then what should we do?  What should I do? It¡¯s better to let me lead the troops to conquer.¡± Cao Hong¡¯s temperament wasStraight.  Some things can't be hidden.  In particular, Che Wei, who died, was a confidant who saved Cao Hong's life.  Cao Hong couldn't bear it anymore.

    Cao Ren glared at Cao Hong and said: "Zi Lian, don't talk too much. Didn't you hear Cheng Shangshu say that this matter still needs to be discussed? The Prime Minister has his own decision on this. I will just obey your orders."

    Although Cao Hongtian is not afraid of anything, Cao Hong has been controlled by Cao Ren since he was a child.  Cao Ren felt a little wilted as soon as he glared at Cao Hong.

    The reason why Cao Ren said this is because Cao Ren was scared by Liu Bin and the others.  Moreover, Cao Ren was entertained and released by Liu Bin and others.  Cao Ren also always apologized to Liu Bin and Zhao Yun for their favors, so Cao Ren didn't want to fight Liu Bin and the others so clearly.  but.  If Cao Cao is really determined to fight Liu Bin.  Cao Ren would never disobey Cao Cao, so Cao Ren waited for Cao Cao's final decision.

    at this time.  Dong Zhao said from the side: "Sili is occupied. We cannot ignore it. Not to mention that we ignore it, it is really possible that Liu Bin will send troops and horses to Sili in an endless stream, bypassing our defense line in Guandu. Attack from Sili  Us. Just the public opinion impact caused by the capture of Sili is enough to completely destroy the popularity and prestige that the Prime Minister has accumulated in the past two years. If the heroes of the world turn to Liu Bin because of this, then we will be passive.  And even if Liu Bin withdrew from Sili afterwards, that Sili was still adjacent to the Xiliang Army. If the Xiliang Army took the opportunity to take over Sili, then our detour space would be even smaller. And our Yanzhou hinterland  . Therefore, we are exposed to the eyes of the Xiliang Army. We are at risk of being annexed by the Xiliang Army at any time. Therefore, even though we know that Liu Bin's occupation of Sili is a strategy to attack the east and attack the west, we still have to fight back.  . But based on the strength of our Guandu defense, as long as we don¡¯t use Guandu¡¯s troops and only use our current military strength to counterattack Sili, there shouldn¡¯t be much of a problem. It just depends on how much Liu Bin has done.  He is determined to attack us. If the number of troops Liu Bin sends to Sili exceeds 500,000, then we will really be in danger."

    Everyone on both sides was chilled by what Dong Zhao said.  Liu Bin's strategy is too cruel.  Absolutely amazing.  This is not a conspiracy to attack the east and the west, this is a blatant one.  So that you have to deserve the conspiracy.

    Xi Zhi, who had been deep in thought for a long time, finally said: "Prime Minister, where is Sili? Liu Bin cannot send too many soldiers and horses to attack us. After all, that is the handover zone between us and the Xiliang army. It is necessary for him to send troops from there.  He was surrounded by enemies from both sides. His retreat was always threatened by the Xiliang army. With Liu Bin's military strategy, it was impossible for him to take this risk. And the more troops he invested in Sili, the more damage he would do to the Xiliang army.  The greater the pressure on the ground. This in turn will also cause considerable trouble to Liu Bin. Therefore, it is enough for us to have one hundred thousand troops to counterattack Sili. But I am afraid that Liu Bin¡¯s plan is not in Guandu, but in other places.  The defense at Guandu is obvious to all. If you want to attack us head-on, that is the best strategy. But Liu Bin first practiced his troops and horses with great fanfare on the north bank of the Yellow River, making a gesture of attacking us, and then made a surprise attack.  Sili asked us to divide our troops to rescue. It is strange to attack Guan Du so blatantly. He may be just to disperse our troops. Then he will capture other places. It is likely to follow Qingzhou and go straight to Xuzhou! Xuzhou is rich in real estate and population.  There are many. And they can also threaten our Yanzhou hinterland. It is an important place for military strategists. If Liu Bin thinks so, we must be on guard."

    Cao Cao frowned when he heard this.  The possibility mentioned by Xi Zhicai is indeed very likely.

    But before Cao Cao could think more about it.  Man Chong said from the side: "Prime Minister, I have a plan to retreat Liu Bin's troops."

    When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed. Now all his subordinates are either guessing where Liu Bin will attack him or thinking about how to deal with Liu Bin's attack.  No one dared to say that Liu Bin could be asked to withdraw his troops.  Cao Cao quickly asked Man Chong happily: "What kind of advice does Boning have? Tell me quickly."

    Man Chong said with confidence: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, if we want Liu Bin to retreat, then we must know why Liu Bin came to attack us. It should be noted that the last time Liu Bin raised troops to attack us, he did so under the pretext of wearing a uniform.  . Afterwards, Liu Bin went up to apologize and returned to Youzhou. Then he also acquiesced to the current regime of the imperial court. Therefore, if Liu Bin now raises troops for no reason, it will be despised by the world. Then Liu Bin is a person who extremely pursues fame and reputation and cherishes his wings.  It is absolutely impossible to risk the rule of law in the world. However, I heard that the reason why Liu Bin attacked us this time was because Liu Bin was assassinated, and there were rumors that the assassin was sent by the Prime Minister. The people in Youzhou are furious. Liu Bin cannot do it.  To send troops. But after all, this is a private matter and not a matter of justice. Then Liu Bin's sending troops is not so justified. That's why Liu Bin's army trained their horses on the north bank of the Yellow River and assumed an attack posture. But there was no attack. This is  As Mr. Xi said, he may be trying to attract our attention and distract our troops. But that's not the case.?Maybe it was just to create a cover-up for them to surprise Sili.  It may also be a delay to allow us to make some reactions and concessions.  After all, according to our estimates, Liu Bin can mobilize 500,000 troops at the same time to deal with us and the Xiliang army separately, and he still has the strength to deal with the barbarians outside the wall, so his strength will be no less than 200.  Ten thousand.  If he really wants to fight us and fight us.  Why did he have to focus on Guandu?  He only needs to deploy 500,000 troops in Bingzhou to guard against the Xiliang army.  Then send troops from Xuzhou to capture Xuzhou directly, and then either attack our Yanzhou or our Xuzhou.  We all have no choice but to let it go.  Although Liu Bin will suffer some losses in attacking like this, we absolutely cannot handle such an upright soldier.  Why did Liu Bin use those little tricks?  Therefore, Liu Bin, a person who cherishes his reputation very much, definitely does not want to use weapons because of this trivial matter, so as to leave a bad reputation in the history.  That's why he took an attacking stance in Guandu.  Without actually taking action.  The purpose is to get the Prime Minister to give him an explanation and give him a step up.  However, we did not respond to this at the time.  Liu Bin was forced by the pressure of the people of Youzhou.  Afraid of weakening his fearless reputation.  That's why he attacked Sili again.  After all, Sili is just an unimportant and desolate area for us.  Therefore, as long as the prime minister can give Liu Bin a reasonable explanation and send someone whom Liu Bin trusts to persuade Liu Bin, Liu Bin will definitely withdraw his troops.  "

    Man Chong¡¯s words can be regarded as opening up a new idea for everyone.  Everyone thought Man Chong was right.  Even Xi Zhicai was a little confused, whether he had guessed wrong.

    Cao Cao put his hand on the table and asked: "In Boning's opinion, who can go to persuade Liu Bin?" To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
