"Meng De's move is also decisive!" Ye Zhao's camp outside Suiyang City, looking at the number of officials counted, Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Lord, isn't it a good thing for so many people to come and join us?" A general looked at Ye Zhao in confusion. Because it was a decisive battle with Cao Cao, the generals in the army were equivalent to a group of staff and generals coming to discuss matters.

Ye Zhao's advisers were not just Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Li Ru, Fa Zheng, and Man Chong. In fact, especially in the past two years, academies in various places have begun to provide Ye Zhao with a large number of outstanding talents. Although these talents do not have so many places for them to hone the knowledge in books into practice, the accumulation of knowledge is enough. Ye Zhao selected his elites into his own staff.

After all, if one person is short-sighted, everyone is the best. A wise man will have a mistake in every case. The role of these generals is to help check for shortcomings and make up for them and provide some suggestions. Before the war, they have the right to raise their own questions or express their own opinions. However, once a plan is decided, there will only be one voice in the army.

"Good thing?" Li Ru shook his head and sneered: "But a group of fence-bearers. Now that the lord is in a strong position, he will naturally come to surrender. Cao Cao threw these people out, so he also wanted a stable rear that could concentrate all his efforts to fight with the lord. What's more, with the current Suiyang court, he can't afford so many idle people!"

Yes, it’s just an idle person. Whether for Cao Cao or Ye Zhao, these people can shake the hearts of the people at most, and they will not play a key role. This is also the reason why Ye Zhao attaches more importance to grassroots officials in his political system. Once a person leaves the grassroots level, although the power is in hand, in fact, the influence on the hearts of the people and the morale of the army will continue to weaken.

It is not only useless for Cao Cao to keep these people, but it may be that when Cao Cao and Ye Zhao fight, they may be in trouble in the rear. If it takes longer, Ye Zhao's subordinates will inevitably have such a situation. After all, if everyone enters the officialdom, they will be promoted and rich. Who wants to do grassroots work for the rest of their lives? So in the future, with the ability and skills of these young officials nowadays, Ye Zhao's subordinates will also have problems with Cao Cao.

But now, almost all under Ye Zhao are practical people. The ability to operate and create wealth in the entire force is far away from Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others at an astonishing speed in the hands of these energetic young people. Now, for Ye Zhao, there is still a long way to enter a stable period. Ye Zhao wants to use the momentum of these young officials to raise the national strength of the Han Dynasty to a height that is enough to lead the whole world for a hundred or even thousands of years.

Ye Zhao knocked on the table and looked at everyone and smiled: "Now it seems that Meng De is not going to run away this time. The battle in Suiyang may be the last battle between our army and Cao's army. These people will be resettled according to the previous plan, and try to appease as much as possible. As for the decisive battle..."

"Dongdongdongdongdong~"

Before Ye Zhao finished speaking, a rumbling sound of war drums suddenly sounded outside the tent. Ye Zhao looked out of the tent, but saw Dian Wei's burly figure coming in from outside, bowing to Ye Zhao and saying, "Lord, Cao's army has sent troops."

"Okay." Ye Zhao stood up and said, "At this point, there is no need to say anything more. The troops left the camp and face Cao's army!"

"Here!"

All the generals stood up and bowed to the promise.

On the spacious plain outside Suiyang City, loud horns sounded across the earth. Teams of soldiers wearing red battle robes surged out of the solid Suiyang City and entered the spacious wilderness outside the city to set up their formation. In the formation of the central army, a bright red flag with the word Cao drifted in the wind.

A few miles away, the soldiers in Guanzhong were already waiting for the battle. All of them were black helmets and black armor. From a distance, the vast wilderness seemed to be covered with thick dark clouds. Although they were simply forming a formation, a suffocating sense of depression had already come to their faces, causing the Cao army soldiers to feel an unspeakable sense of depression.

The war is still brewing, but the momentum of the soldiers on both sides has begun to compete. At this point, the Guanzhong soldiers with professional training and excellent equipment obviously have an advantage. Although the Cao army looked quite neat in the army, both Cao Cao and the generals under his command knew that these were just recruiting new soldiers, which were not useful. Although they were not considered a mob, they were completely different from the elites who followed Cao Cao in the past to fight north and south.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao never thought of suppressing Ye Zhao in his momentum. After the army was unfolding, he commanded the army to yell loudly and yell the loud trumpets towards Ye Zhao's army. This was called the first call. The slogans of tens of thousands of people gradually gathered into a wave of sound to suppress Ye Zhao's army, in order to stop the impact of Ye Zhao's momentum on Cao's army.

Ye Zhao raised the banner and waved it hard. The shield hands in the front row pulled up the shield that was stabbed on the ground and began to move towards the Cao army opposite. The square formations that followed also began to move forward. The thick shields stretched into a wall, the cold blade seal eyes were cold, and countless spears stumbled into the sky, just like the ferocious fangs of a beast exuding a cold chill.

Compared to the passionate and passionate Cao's army, Ye Zhao's army could only hear heavy and neat footsteps. Every time they took a step, it seemed that the earth was trembling. Not only did the momentum not fade due to Cao's army's passionate slogans, it became more and more heavy as each step forward. In the eyes of Cao's army, they were facing not an army, but the mountains pressing towards them!

The two armies advanced, and soon, the Cao army had entered the range of the archers. The archers in the back row quickly stopped under the command of the general, bent their bows and arrows, and cold clusters of arrows pointed at the sky with oblique angles. With the general's call, they rose up, intertwined in the air, and then fell from the air with a scream of death.

Cao Jun's shield hand quickly raised his shield to block the arrows. Although the wooden shield in his hand was quite solid, people continued to fall in the face of the dense rain of arrows. The range of bows and arrows on both sides was as different as 100 steps, and this 100-step distance was destined to be supplemented by human lives.

How to stabilize morale before the archers enter the range and prevent the army from collapsing is Cao Cao's first problem facing Ye Zhaojun.

“Woooooo~”

Amid the sound of desolate horns, a cavalry suddenly broke out from the other side of Suiyang City, bypassing the shield and spear soldiers in front, and directly penetrated into Ye Zhao's five archers formations.

Even if Ye Zhao's troops were all elite, the archer formation would probably be paralyzed in the face of the cavalry's surprise attack.

Ye Zhao looked at the direction of Cao's army's flag and smiled slightly. He was obviously prepared for this. With a wave of the flag, a cavalry broke out from the back, and bypassed the archers and rushed straight towards Cao's cavalry.

The cavalry of Cao's army was about 2,000, but this was the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao's command, and it was also the only cavalry system retained by Cao Cao. The commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry was Cao Chun, the brother of the Cao Cao clan, who was also a powerful general.

On Ye Zhao's side, Hua Xiong was the one who commanded the cavalry, who was also a veteran cavalryman who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Although he was not young, this kind of head-on cavalry battle might not be able to compete with Hua Xiong in the world.

The two cavalry collided together like a torrent in a moment. Ye Zhao's cavalry was good at cavalry fighting, while Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry were also selected from the best. In addition, the stirrups had been cracked by Cao's army. This is also the only army at the moment that the Cao army had a very different equipment and quality from Ye Zhao's army. Unfortunately, the number of people was too small.

The blood began to flow and splatter at the moment the two cavalry collided, gradually becoming a faint mist of blood.

At this moment, both Ye Zhao and Cao Cao focused their attention on this battle of less than 10,000.

This time, the combined force of the two sides was nearly 200,000, but both Ye Zhao and Cao Cao knew that the key to decisive victory was that in this cavalry collision, whether Hua Xiong could completely intercept Cao Chun's cavalry and prevent the opponent from breaking into the archer formation was the key to victory or defeat.

Hua Xiong's cavalry is about 5,000, more than twice that of Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, but on the battlefield, defeat is one thing, but defense is another. Even if Hua Xiong can kill most of the cavalry of Cao's army, as long as Cao Chun leads the cavalry into the archer's square formation, this collision will be a failure. The role of the cavalry is attack rather than defense, and Hua Xiong also takes the path of attack instead of defense.

This time, Cao Chun obviously made up his will to die. It was not easy to block someone who had already sacrificed his life, not to mention that Hua Xiong's purpose was to kill rather than block.

The collision of cavalry was short-lived. The two sides collided with each other at the highest speed and then separated after a while. At this time, there were two hundred cavalry beside Cao Chun, and half of Hua Xiong's cavalry were also lost. The specific amount could not be seen for a while, but the loss was indeed not small.

Two hundred cavalry is enough to have an impact on an archer meter. Ye Zhao looked at Cao Chun who vomited blood and rushed into an archer meter. He did not show much emotion in his eyes. He simply waved the flag. The archer quickly retreated to both sides. Without waiting for Cao Chun to act in disguise, a rain of arrows that came towards him directly obliterated Cao Chun and the two hundred cavalry beside him.

Under this dense coverage, not to mention Cao Chun, even Lu Bu at his peak would be difficult to survive. Cao Chun kept charging and knocked down like a hedgehog. None of the soldiers in the Tiger and Leopard Camp behind him survived. Cao Cao's last cavalry was destroyed, which also brought a glimmer of opportunity to Cao's army.
