Chapter 396 Cao Cao's Mad Words (thank you for your great reward)
Suanzao County, named after the many thorns in the county, is also known as Yanjin. Yanjin is away from Xinxiang City in the west, Zhengzhou in the south, 50 kilometers from Kaifeng in the southeast, and 130 kilometers from Anyang in the north. It is also an important road.

The feudal lords called for Dong, and the feudal lords of Henan gathered here, headed by Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, Qiao Mao, prefect of Dongjun, Zhang Miao, prefect of Chenliu, Bao Xin, prime minister of Jibei, Cao Cao, general of Xingfenwu, Zhang Chao, prefect of Guangling, and prefect of Shanyang. Yuan Yi raised more than tens of thousands of soldiers each, but the small jujube can hold tens of thousands of soldiers.

In order to ensure that Dong Zhuo moved his capital smoothly, Xu Rong stationed troops in Yuanwu across the river from Suanzao.

Although the coalition army was in the tens of thousands, since the first crossing of the river was beaten by Xu Rong and lost more than [-] troops, they did not think about making progress, and spent the whole day drinking and meeting.

Yuan Shao took Cao Cao as General Fenwu, hoping to lead the Yanzhou army to attack Luoyang, but the princes of Yanzhou were unmoved.

Until Guo Si's request for help arrived, Xu Rong took the initiative to withdraw his troops. There was no one in the original Wukong. Cao Cao rushed to the coalition camp to talk with the princes after getting the news.

"Yuan Wu is also empty, what Meng De said is true."

Jinbei Prime Minister Bao Xin asked in surprise.

Cao Cao straightened his wet armor and said, "I personally crossed the river to find out the news, how can it be false? I also ask Yanzhou to personally order the army to cross the river to pursue Xu Rong. Dong Zhuo moved the capital. Xu Rong has no will to fight. I have tens of thousands of troops. If you go south, you will be able to kill him with one blow, and avenge our army's defeat in the first battle."

"good."

The first battle was defeated, and Bao Xin was the vanguard. Although Bao Xin came back alive, his younger brother Bao Zhong died on the bank of the gutter, and the boat capsized in the gutter.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Bao Xin's heart of revenge was burning.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, also said: "Ming Gong, Meng De's words are not bad. Another envoy came yesterday and said: Liu Xuande has crossed the Yellow River north, and Dong Min's generation fled north in embarrassment. Xu Rong retreated today, so Liu Xuande can be seen. As brave as ever, Luo Yang will send Xu Rong back to the army without guaranteeing his talent."

"Oh! If there is such a thing, then Xu Rong's withdrawal must be true."

Cao Cao was overjoyed that Liu Bei really crossed the south of the river. With the strength of the Lucheng Army, unless the Xiliang Army attacked with a large force, it would definitely not be an opponent of the Lucheng Army.

Liu Dai saw that under the instigation of the three, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, were all ready to move. The control of the army, at that time, he, the Yanzhou governor, was completely short-sighted in this troubled world. Liu Dai had little ambition, and only wanted to be the governor of Yanzhou.

Liu Dai shook his head and said: "That Xu Rong, a veteran of hundreds of battles, has elite Xiliang iron cavalry under his command. If he defends the city, we may be able to fight in a field battle? Heh! The battle of crossing the river is a lesson from the past."

Liu Dai's words made Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Qiao Mao and others terrified. In the battle of the gutter, the brave Bao Zhong died in battle, and Zang Hong, who was determined to advance westward, was seriously injured.

Cao Cao saw that the princes were silent, and said: "If we win this battle, Luoyang is small, and we can restore the old capital."

"What if it is really Xu Rong's conspiracy? Our newly recruited soldiers will fight against Xu Rong's Xiliang iron cavalry."

Bao Xin said worriedly that he was the vanguard when crossing the river that day, so he clearly realized that the newly recruited soldiers were defeated in a single battle under the attack of Xiliang iron cavalry, and of course Bao Xin's fighting spirit was also defeated.

Cao Cao once again felt the princes' rejection of him, and said angrily: "My lord will not go, so I crossed the river alone."

"Wait a minute, Mengde."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Liu Dai persuaded him to stay. Cao Cao was overjoyed. Could it be that Liu Dai was moved by him and decided to cross the river with his army.

Cao Cao looked back sincerely, but Liu Dai said: "Meng De didn't know how powerful Xu Rong is when he came late. I advise Meng De to think twice, don't cross the river, and observe for a few more days."

Cao Cao was furious immediately, "It's fine if you don't cross the river, and it's really shameless to persuade someone not to cross the river."

"Hmph! If Duke Ming doesn't cross the river, when will Luoyang be restored? Will Xu Rong give up Luoyang? Even if he died on the way to attack Luoyang, he wouldn't sit here and wait for Dong Zhuo to move his capital and abandon Luoyang. and go."

Cao Cao left angrily.

Cao Cao's angry words made the princes extremely embarrassed, and Liu Dai even threw his sleeves away: "Zhuzi, you know the important affairs of the country."

Seeing Liu Dai's departure, the princes left one after another, some were going to persuade Cao Cao, and some were going to see Liu Dai.

Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, and Bao Xin went to see Cao Cao and persuaded him several times. Cao Cao was determined to cross the river, but Zhang Miao had no choice but to say, "Since Meng De has made up his mind to cross the river, but his army is only five thousand, he is definitely not Xu Rong's opponent. How about this! I ordered Wei Zi to lead three thousand soldiers from the county to help."

Zhang Chao said: "Meng De, don't underestimate these three thousand soldiers. They were formed by my brothers under the guidance of Liu Xuande during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although they are not as powerful as Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

"So, thank you brother Xian."

Cao Cao said happily.

Seeing that Zhang Miao sent three thousand elite soldiers, Bao Xin said, "Meng De, my brother died in battle, and all the elite were lost. I'm sorry I can't send you troops, but I can help you with three thousand armor, bows and crossbows." A hundred sheets, twenty thousand arrows."

"Thank you, Brother Bao, this is what is missing!"

After Cao Cao received the gifts from the three men, he ordered the soldiers to have a full meal that day. After packing up, they will cook at three o'clock the next day and cross the river at five o'clock.

Cao Cao crossed the river and went straight down to Yuanwu without a single soldier.

Along the sewer water, Yangwu, Tanyongcheng, and Yuchengting sent people to surrender one after another. Cao Cao's prestige was greatly shaken for a while, and there were more than [-] soldiers and horses, and the soldiers pointed directly at the important town of Aocang.

Liu Dai heard the news and said with envy and resentment: "I hope Xu Rong can also hand over Aocang and Xingyang."

As Liu Dai said, Cao Cao was also very worried. He also felt that Xu Rong would not give up Ao Cang easily, and personally sent his brother Xiahou Dun to cross the river to investigate, but Ao Cang had only a small number of soldiers and horses guarding it.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and immediately sent troops across the river, and went down to Aocang in the first battle. Luoyang was close at hand, and Cao Cao shouted: "You can go down to Luoyang in three days."

Xu Rong smiled and said nothing when he heard Cao Cao's crazy words, he can go to Luoyang in three days, I hope you can live for three days!
Xu Rong was thinking about where to ambush Cao Cao. Can the county soldiers pretending to be Xiliang cavalry go west to deceive others?Are there other spies among them?

Xu Rong's mind was confused and he turned back. Since Cao Cao had passed Xingshui, Cao Cao had the final say on the outcome of the battle.

Feng Ji in Mangshan Mountain was overjoyed by Cao Cao's wild words, and said to Wen Chou: "At the critical moment, it's your own people who have to use it. You see, Liu Dai and others are not making progress. Only Cao Mengde came to the west. Why? Cao Mengde is the lord's friend! "

"Of course."

Wen Chou agrees.

Feng Ji said: "However, let us accept the first achievement of capturing Luoyang! Only by capturing Luoyang and giving Xu Rong the power to attack back and forth, can Meng De rest assured that it is not coming from the west."

"That's what Mr. said!"

The credit for regaining the old capital must be famous all over the world. How could Wen Chou not be envious of such credit?
When Feng Ji sees Wen Chou and smiles, the military spirit is useful!Military spirit is available.
