Chapter 531 Confidant

Cao Cao's tomb is located more than thirty miles northwest of Dongjun. It is backed by a barrier of green mountains and overlooks thousands of miles of mountains and rivers with turbulent clouds. In front of the tomb stands a stone tablet more than two meters high, on which are engraved six huge regular scripts of "Cao Cao, Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty"

.

Zhang Lang stood in front of Cao Cao's tombstone, looking at him with ups and downs in his heart. He recalled the scene when the two of them fought on the battlefield, and the scenes were still in front of him. Looking back, the country is still the same, but the personnel are completely different. I am still alive.

But you have already slept in Jiuquan. God's will is strange, what will the future be like?

The scouts came galloping together, and when they arrived about twenty steps behind Zhang Lang, they were stopped by the guards. They jumped off their horses, ran behind Zhang Lang, knelt down and clasped their fists, saying: "General, Cao's army still hasn't gone to war!"

Zhang Lang retracted his thoughts, "Didn't Xu Huang and the others say that I destroyed Cao Cao's cemetery?"

The scout reported: "I have called countless times, but there is no response from the city!"

Zhang Lang frowned and said: "Cao Pi..." He glanced at the cemetery in front of him and said with a smile: "Old friend, your son is great, but he is also a bastard! I really don't know what kind of mood you are feeling now? Is it anger or anger?

Are you happy, worried, or confused? If Cao Pi dies, will you be happy or sad? Or both. Bring me the wine!"

Wang Yi, who was standing next to him with a drink in his hand, immediately brought him a drink. Zhang Lang picked up the bottle, took a big sip, and then sprinkled the rest of the drink in front of Cao Cao's tombstone. "Old friend, even though you are dead,

, but I will finish what we have not finished." He threw the empty wine bottle on the grass, turned around and walked towards the red rabbit horse, "Let's go!"

She got on her horse, and everyone else also got on their horses. Dong Ying asked in confusion: "Brother, won't you destroy Cao Cao's graveyard?"

Zhang Lang laughed and said, "That was just a joke between me and that boy Cao Pi!" Then he scolded and the red rabbit horse broke out, and everyone hurriedly urged their horses to follow. Cao Cao's graveyard looked at them.

Zhang Lang, escorted by the three female generals Dong Ying, Sun Ren, Wang Yi and the Zhonghu Ben guards, rushed to the foot of Dongjun City and were among the army. Zhang Lang reined in his horse, turned around and looked towards Dongjun, and saw that the city gate was closed.

A forest of swords and spears stood ready, and there was a murderous atmosphere. Xu Huang came forward to report:

"General, that boy Cao Pi is completely indifferent to his father's grave being dug up. What a fucking bastard!" Zhang Lang patted Xu Huang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Cao Pi is not bad. He deserves to be Cao Cao's son."

He turned around and said, "Send the order and all armies will withdraw to their camps!"

Xu Huang was stunned, "General, let's forget it!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Let's think of another way." He then turned his horse's head and ran towards the camp. Xu Huang immediately gave the order. The cavalry reared up and the army retreated towards the camp.

In the big tent, Zhang Lang made some arrangements, and the generals took their orders and left. Only Zhang Lang and Jia Xu were left in the big tent. Zhang Lang stood up, walked to the map, looked at the map and frowned: "Dongjun

, what will be the result if we attack by force?"

Jia Xu thought: "If we attack by force, we won't have to think about it for half a year! Without considering other factors, our army will definitely be able to capture Dongjun. However, if we kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000, our army will basically be able to capture Dongjun."

It’s broken! At this time, if Cao Pi transfers the strong men gathered from all over the country, even though our army is a mighty lion and a tiger, I’m afraid we will only end up in the battlefield!”

Zhang Lang said with some annoyance: "***Cao Pi, he really doesn't have the heroic spirit of me!"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "If we were facing Cao Cao today, I'm afraid the situation would be the same!"

Zhang Lang started to think about it, his eyes turned around Dongjun, and finally landed on Jizhou in the north. He nodded with his finger, "If a large army captures the White Horse Ferry and invades Jizhou, what do you think Cao Pi will do?" Jia

Xu Si thought: "My lord wants to use this to disturb Cao's army's defense! This plan is very high. If Cao Pi doesn't fall for it, our army will take the opportunity to sweep away the enemy."

Jizhou. However, Baima Ferry is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, Cao's army has General Qu Yi leading 20,000 infantry to defend it, and there are 67,000 to 70,000 civilian troops nearby to assist. It may be difficult to capture in a hurry. If Cao's navy cuts off the river at this moment,

, it will be difficult for our army to cross the river. If we want to take action, we must attack suddenly with the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit, and strive to dismount the white horse in one go!"

Zhang Lang said categorically: "I will go to Baima myself!" He looked at Jia Xu and said, "While I am away, Wen He will be fully responsible for the military affairs here." Jia Xu promised with clasped fists.

In the prime minister's house, Cao Pi stood in front of the map, frowning and staring at the white horse.

Sima Yi and Xu You came in, clasped their fists together and said, "Lord."

Cao Pi turned around and frowned: "I have been worried about one thing these two days." Xu You rushed to ask: "My lord, are you worried about Baima?"

Cao Pi nodded, turned around and pointed at the white horse, and said worriedly: "If Lu Bu captures the white horse, he will definitely send his army into Jizhou. If this is the case, I will not rescue him, nor will I rescue him. I am really worried!"

Sima Yi smiled and said: "My lord, please be at ease. I have ordered all the 20,000 navy troops left behind to enter the vicinity of Baima. As long as Lu Bu comes to invade, he will definitely suffer a big loss." Cao Pi was overjoyed. Xu You however

He said angrily: "Mr. Sima mobilized the naval forces privately, didn't he take the Lord seriously?"

Sima Yi clasped his fists and said, "I have no time to report this to my lord and ask him to punish me!"

Cao Pi stepped forward, held Sima Yi's fist, patted it, and said softly: "What is your fault, sir? Since I have given you the power to make smart decisions, you can naturally make arrangements according to the situation, and there is no need to advance in advance."

Report it to me. Just inform me afterwards. Sir, you are still responsible for the military deployment of our army, so you don’t have to have any scruples!"

Sima Yi was so moved that he knelt down and knelt down and said, "I have nothing to repay you for, I can only repay my lord for being a mess!" Cao Pi quickly helped Sima Yi up and encouraged him. Xu You saw this and was extremely jealous.

On Zhang Lang's side, Zhang Lang led 100,000 and 100,000 Wuxi barbarians to leave the camp at night and headed towards Baima.

After receiving the scout's report, Qu Yi immediately ordered all armies to abandon Baima City on the south bank of the Yellow River and retreat to the north bank. He then ordered the pontoon bridges on the Yellow River to be burned. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses dug trenches along the river bank, deployed resisting horses, and actively prepared for defense.

All 80,000 civilian troops from surrounding counties were mobilized.

Zhang Lang led an army of 200,000 to Baima, only to find that Baima was already deserted. He immediately occupied Baima and marched to the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the roaring Yellow River and the remaining pontoon components on the bank, Zhang Lang couldn't help cursing:

"*** Quyi, you are so slippery!" Dong Ying said: "The pontoon bridge was burned down, so we can only collect civilian boats to build rafts." Zhang Lang nodded and immediately gave the order.
