Cao Zhi said: "Dian Wei led these many guards to break through the door, which is already a problem. What this person said tonight is just a more confirmation of our previous speculation. What is wrong with it?"

The staff whispered: "Young Master, he is no longer the Prime Minister's guard, but Lu Bu's subordinate..."

Cao Zhi understood what he meant and waved his hand and said, "I don't care about this."

The staff was a little worried, but it was hard to say anything else.

Cao Zhi said to the man: "You came from afar, and it is logical that I should keep you for a night. But your identity really makes me unable to keep you, so you go." The man clasped his fists and said: "The villain understands. The villain's wishes

It's already done, say goodbye." He turned around and left.

The aide said to Cao Zhi: "Young Master, this person is very likely sent by Lu Bu..." Cao Zhi waved his hand, "I don't care about these." Then he said with anger and sad face: "As a son of man, my father was killed, but he actually said.

I watched the murderer sit on Dawei, how will I face my father in the future! I want to avenge my father and cut the disobedient and unfilial beast into pieces to comfort my father's spirit in heaven!"

The staff member was shocked and hurriedly advised: "Young Master, you need to think twice about this matter!"

Cao Zhi waved his hand impatiently, "I have decided, don't persuade me anymore!"

The staff sighed.

Cao Zhi thought and muttered, "Mr. Guo Jia should help me, right? And General Xu Chu, my father-in-law,..."

...

Zhang Lang rushed to Dingfengjin Camp day and night, and Zhuge Liang welcomed Zhang Lang into the tent. Zhang Lang sat down, glanced at everyone under the tent, and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" Everyone clasped their fists together and said, "For the General,"

Going to Tang and stepping on the fire without hesitation!" Zhang Lang was very pleased, looked at Zhuge Liang, and exclaimed: "Kong Ming did a very good job this time. Although it was a pity that he could not save the Cai brothers, he took the opportunity to seize the Cao army's water camp and crossed the village in one fell swoop.

The soldiers passing by the Huai River are coming to the city of Huainan! The situation of our army is very good!"

Kong Ming smiled and clasped his fists and said, "This is thanks to General Xu Huang and his soldiers who have used their lives, otherwise they would not be able to succeed!"

Zhang Lang nodded and asked, "What is the situation we face now?"

Kong Ming said: "At present, Cao's army has gathered 100,000 regular troops and more than 100,000 civilian troops in Huainan City. The two generals led by Xun Yu, our army Xu Huang and Zang Ba, led the Leopard Army and the main forces of the War Bear Army, a total of 170,000.

The city of Huainan was approaching. The heavy siege equipment arrived in the army yesterday. The two generals conducted a tentative attack on Huainan City. The situation was not optimistic. Xun Yu is worthy of being a famous minister Cao Cao once relied on, and managed Huainan.

It is like a wall of iron, our army cannot find any breakthrough!"

Zhang Lang frowned and thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "I came this time and brought the gunpowder improved by the ordnance site, which can be used to attack Huainan." Everyone was delighted.

Zhuge Liang continued: "At present, Yingshui River and the downstream of Huai River are still controlled by the Cao army's naval army. Xiyang and Xiacai counties on the east bank of Yingshui are respectively stationed in the five thousand Cao troops, and the leading generals are Cao Hong and Yu Jin.

That's how our positive enemy situation is."

Zhang Lang thought and asked, "Did the enemy naval army not try to make our army's transportation line on the Huai River?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and clasped his fists and said, "You will know at first glance," he said, "I dare to ask the lord to move."

Zhang Lang laughed, pointed at Kong Ming and joked, "Kong Ming is still trying to keep me in hiding." Everyone laughed.

Zhang Lang left the tent surrounded by everyone and climbed the watchtower tower near the tent. Zhuge Liang stood beside Zhang Lang and pointed at the two camps on both sides of the river in the distance and said, "Let's see, our army is in the Huai River."

Two camps were built on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, each setting up defenses of 10,000 soldiers, and equipped with a large number of strong bows and hard crossbows and catapulted lathe crossbows. If the enemy goes up the river, they will be fiercely bombarded by firepower on both sides!..." Zhang Lang praised the location.

Zhuge Liang nodded. He then said, "There are also densely cracked wooden stakes in the middle of the river, and more than a dozen iron cables blocking the river. With these cooperation with the shore camps, they can resist the attacks of the enemy's naval forces. Zhang He once attacked

Both times, they returned without success, but instead lost some people and ships."

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "No wonder I saw some ships calm in the river! OK! Kong Ming's arrangement is foolproof!"

Zhuge Liang said: "If the enemy wants to break this situation, they can only attack from the road." He clasped his fists at Zhang Lang, "Lord, my subordinates have an idea."

Zhang Lang pointed at Zhuge Liang and teased: "Every time Kong Ming said this, someone will be in trouble!" Everyone laughed.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Now that Huainan is in danger, I speculate that Cao Pi will inevitably send troops from Yanzhou to support him! Our army can do this..." Zhuge Liang told him a set of strategies.

...

Zhuge Liang's prediction was correct. Shortly after Zhuge Liang and Zhang Lang talked, an officer sent by Jia Xu reported that he had found that a large number of Cao's troops had left Yanzhou and moved southeast of Yingshui. He should have to reinforce Huainan, and it is also possible.

To break through Yuzhou from a certain location in Yingshui, you need to be careful!

Seeing that Cao's army was indeed mobilized, Zhang Lang and Zhuge Liang immediately implemented the plan they had formulated before.

...

Cao's army had 300,000, including 150,000 regular troops and 150,000 regular troops adapted from the civilian army not long ago. They headed south and finally arrived at the bank of the Huai River and began to cross the river.

The troops of Lu Bu's army, Xu Huang, Zang Ba, who had originally defeated Huainan, immediately withdrew after learning that Cao's army's 300,000 reinforcements had arrived, retreated to the south bank of the Huai River, and set up camps and prepared defenses with the Huai River back.

Cao's army crossed the Huai River for 300,000, and entered Huainan. They joined forces with the Huainan defenders. A general Wei Yan asked for a counterattack. He said: "Lu Bu's army is afraid of the advance of our army. He should take advantage of the situation and attack, and annihilate Xu Huang in one go.

Zang Ba’s troops!" All the generals agreed.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, "We need to join Zhang He's navy to fight back, advance by water and land, and strive to eliminate Xu Huang and Zang Ba's troops in one go." The generals clasped their fists and said, "What sir said is very true!"

After making up his mind, Xun Yu immediately issued an order, ordering General Wen Pin to lead Huainan civilian army to defend the city and be responsible for transporting logistics supplies. The remaining 400,000 troops advanced westward to attack Xu Huang Zangba's troops, and at the same time ordered Zhang He to assemble the navy from the water and land.

Cooperate with the attack.

The army immediately launched an action. The army flags were rolling on the road, and smoke covered the sky and the sun. The warships on the water covered the river. The sound of war drums shook thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Nearly 500,000 Cao troops advanced together on land and water, and the Queen came upstream of the Huai River.

Zhang He's navy did not attack the river-blocking defense line arranged by Zhuge Liang, but instead suppressed Dingfengjin to suppress Dingfengjin's Lu Bu's army; at the same time, the 400,000 army led by Xun Yu drove to the camp on the south bank of Lu Bu's army.

In front, we set up a battle formation, siege equipment, and prepared to attack. Xu Huang and Zang Ba did not show any weakness, and led a large army out of the camp to form a battle, and the backs were against the camp to start a war. The armies of the two sides confronted each other, and the war was about to begin.
