The forward Wei Yan led a thousand cavalry ahead. At this time, he had turned around the foot of the mountain in front. Liu Cong asked Emperor Xian for instructions: "The emperor's forward army has already set off. Have we started marching?"

Emperor Xian had never experienced such a scene. Today, Liu Cong carried him to the seat of the real master. Seeing this majestic scene with flags like clouds and swords covering the sun, his blood was already boiling with excitement.

Liu Cong was also able to deceive him. He arranged a cranked imperial umbrella in advance and arranged a strong soldier to hold it above Xian Emperor's head. He also arranged fifty elite soldiers riding yellow fat horses of the same color as guards to surround Emperor Xian, each holding an umbrella. Holding a halberd, one hand holding the horse's reins and the other holding the halberd. These fifty halberds were like a circle of strong fences, shining with a compelling cold light, guarding Emperor Xian in the middle.

Liu Cong and Ma Yunshan personally led the troops in the middle, followed by Deng Bao's thousand cavalry.

Just like this, the three trumpets sounded. Wei Yan's vanguard troops went ahead. When Emperor Xian ordered to move, Liu Cong sent an order for dozens of drums to beat at the same time. He only heard a burst of drums, like muffled thunder, shaking the sky. He watched the troops in the middle slowly marching up the road and the sound of horse hooves. The moving road surface was like a pelting rain. Emperor Xian then breathed a sigh of relief and spurred his horse forward, looking straight ahead without even turning his head.[

Liu Cong squinted at the late emperor and smiled in his heart when he saw this expression: "Hehehehe, Emperor Xian, I have never been as proud as today in my life. Liu Cong has traveled through time and fulfilled your wishes."

But there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you get mine, I have to give something in return. Well, it's not up to you. As for what kind of reward I will get,

Haha Emperor Xian, just slowly savor this delicious taste."

Three days later, the army arrived at the top of Queweipo. Liu Cong ordered them to set up camp and ordered his troops to pack up the old houses and arrange for Emperor Xian to stay there. Then he led Wei Yan, Deng Bao, and Ma Yun to climb Mount Ma to inspect the terrain.

Liu Cong stood on a high place and looked southward against the pine tree. He turned back to Wei Yan and Deng Bao and said, "Cao Cao brought his troops back here. This is the first necessary path, but I won't let him pass."

I will consume his strength here, so this place must be defended." After saying that, he turned around and told Xu Shu: "Master Xu, please remember to send people to Yuzhou immediately after you go back. Allocate 5,000 infantry from Huang Zhong. It's just below Quewei Slope. It turns out Cao Cao was stationed at the old site of his camp."

Xu Shu agreed to Liu Cong and then ordered Wei Yan: "Move a thousand infantry to the pass and establish a position in Nanbo. Set up more deer, firewood and wood. Cao's soldiers will have a million soldiers and it will be difficult to break through Queweipo Pass within half a month."

At this point, he ordered Wei Yan and Deng Bao: "Wei Yan is here to direct Cao's soldiers in this battle. When they come, they first block and repel Cao's soldiers at the pass. After several charges, Wei Yan and Deng Bao take turns leading the cavalry to kill and attack. Every time they charge, they cannot be in love with the war general Cao." The formation of soldiers kills chaos and then retreats to the top of the mountain. Fighting in front of the battle depends on proper command. Haha, I predicted that Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of infantrymen would conquer the Queweipo Pass. Hahaha, it's just wishful thinking."

Liu Cong ordered to come here and ask Wei Yan and Deng Bao: "Are the two generals confident that they can defeat Cao Cao here?"

Wei Yan agreed: "Since my lord has predicted it, of course I am confident. However, the general feels that Cao Cao is also a veteran in using troops. Apart from my lord, it can be said that there is no opponent in the world. The general is worried that if Cao Cao and Deng come from Mushroom Ridge, After the county marches to conquer these two places, will we be passive on Quewei Slope?"

Liu Cong smiled and said: "So I will entrust you with the important task of holding on to Quewei Slope. I believe you can defend Quewei Slope. Two thousand Jingzhou cavalry and five thousand horses are the most elite army in the world today. Our army is stationed at the foot of Quewei Slope." When we get down to the camp, if Quewei Slope cannot be defended, let Cao's soldiers pass through and conduct an open execution battle at the foot of the mountain.

The decisive battle will take place in about thirty days, and I will personally take command of it.

Hahahaha, Wei Yan will leave the battle of guarding the gate to you within this month.

I have to patrol around Wancheng, Yuzhou, Moushuling, and Deng County. Wait until you suppress Cao's soldiers here for a month, and then I will come to deal with them. By then, the situation will be clear."

After Liu Cong completed the arrangements, he took the generals back to the camp to rest.

On the afternoon of the third day, Liu Cong accompanied Emperor Xian on a walk on Quewei Slope while inspecting the barracks. When he saw a fortress built on Quewei Slope towards Cao Bing, he came over and introduced him: "Your Majesty, please see if this fortress is strong."

Emperor Xian was a little confused and asked: "It is certainly strong to build a stone wall on the mountainside and cut off the road, but I don't think there is any other way for Cao Bing to pass through the Magpie Wei Slope."

"Your Majesty, Cao Bing wants to go to Xuchang. Quewei Slope is the most convenient road. Apart from this road, there are also Deng County, Yuzhou Mushroom Ridge and Wancheng that can pass through.

But those roads are heavily guarded by our troops, and it is even more difficult for Cao Bing to cross, so this is the only way for him to pass."[

Emperor Xian nodded after hearing this. Although the two of them chatted some more gossip, Liu Cong conveyed this message to Emperor Xian from these gossips. Because Cao's soldiers might divide their troops to attack in several directions, Liu Cong had to lead his troops to inspect and direct the battle. Always stay at Queweipo

"With Wei Yan commanding Quewei Slope, I have already predicted that Wei Yanman can lead his troops to stop Cao's troops here for a month.

The key is that the emperor personally supervises the troops here, which greatly boosts the morale of our troops.

Haha, your Majesty, Cao’s soldiers will definitely be defeated by our army here.

By that time, the situation between the enemy and ourselves has undergone fundamental changes. As the enemy's and our own military strength have waxed and waned, our army has gradually taken the initiative. Cao's army has gradually fallen into passivity. The time to annihilate Cao Wei and revive the Han Dynasty is not far away, Your Majesty."

Of course Emperor Xian was happy after hearing this, and he was filled with joy. Liu Cong nodded and praised: "Liu Cong, my good brother."

Liu Cong quickly said humbly: "It all depends on the protection of the emperor." After thinking for a while, he said to Emperor Xian: "It is estimated that in ten days the two will fight here.

From Liu Cong's perspective, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly and is full of dangers. To be honest, the two armies are fighting. There is no need for the commander to personally take action. The emperor has a body of ten thousand gold. For the sake of safety, it is best for the emperor to sit down and command the central army, so Liu Cong implores the emperor to return to Queweipo. The camp below is resting and commanding."

Emperor Xian was very moved after hearing this and agreed.

The next day, Liu Cong arranged everything. His thoughts about Empress Fu stirred up in his heart, which made him restless, so he muttered to himself: "The time has come to take action."

As soon as the boy made the decision happily, he immediately called two soldiers and gave them instructions to send them on the road to Xuchang.

A few days later, the scouts reported that Cao Cao had led his troops to kill him back from Fancheng. At this time, they had arrived at Xinye City. "Cao Cao's soldiers, hundreds of thousands of them, marched along the mountain road in a mighty manner and divided their forces after they reached Partridge Ridge." The three routes went all the way to Moguling Canyon for patrolling, and the other route went to Deng County. Cao "Cao" personally led the middle route troops to station in Xinye City.

Food, grass and baggage were piled up outside Xinye City

Cao "Cao" led the troops to sit in the Xinye faction. Xiahou was the chief general, Xu Huang, and Cao Ren was the deputy general. He led 60,000 elite troops to Quewei Slope and killed them.

The vanguard is Xu Chu, who has led 5,000 men and horses. They have already crossed the Wei River and are filled with murderous intent. At this time, they are still more than ten miles away from Quewei Slope."

At this time, Liu Cong was sitting with Emperor Xian in the large tent of the infantry barracks at the foot of Quewei Slope, talking. After listening to the scout's report, Liu Cong smiled and said: "Cao Cao can only do what he can."

After hearing this, Emperor Xian looked at Liu Cong in great panic and asked: "Cao Cao's troops were divided into three groups and killed. I don't know how we can face the enemy with only over 50,000 troops."

Liu Cong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun will lead troops to guard Mushroom Ridge and Deng County respectively to ensure safety in case of loss."

There is another person among Cao Bing who is the opponent of Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.

Besides, the Moushuling Canyon is more than ten miles long with sheer cliffs on both sides, making it easy for our army to ambush.

The last time Xia Houyuan sent troops to attack, he lost troops and generals there.

Cao "Cao" knew this and sent troops there, but it was just a pretense to distract our army [

Deng County was guarded by Zhao Yun and his troops. When Cao Bing heard that Zhao Yun was there, he did not dare to act rashly.

These two routes are safe

This Quewei Slope is the only way for Cao's troops to return to the army, so Cao Cao personally leads the troops there and there will be a fierce battle behind them.

We must deal with it carefully and resolutely defeat Cao Cao here.

If Cao's army fails in the middle, the troops on the left and right will automatically flee like this."

And when Liu Cong finished speaking, Emperor Xian said anxiously: "But our army has only five thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry in the barracks down the slope here. There are only one thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry in the blocking position on the top of the slope. How about less than ten thousand infantry and cavalry?"

Resist Xiahou's 50,000 or 60,000 troops."

Liu Cong smiled and said: "There is more than one factor for winning the battle between the two armies.

Although Cao "Cao" has many people in the middle, our army has the support of Queweipo Pass and can defeat a hundred thousand troops.

It seems that our army's strength has surpassed that of Cao Bing. The Emperor does not need to worry.

When two armies meet, the brave one wins

When Cao Cao sent out troops, he thought that the enemy from all over the world would march all the way to Fancheng in an attempt to regain Jingzhou in one fell swoop. Soochow had enough troops left behind for backup. This was a major mistake of Cao Cao's battle.

Analyzing the entire battle situation, Cao Cao did not expect that our army would avoid his advantage and sneak into the rear of Cao's army to capture Xuchang.

At this time, our army has cut off the retreat of Cao's soldiers. To the south of Cao's soldiers' retreat is the great river Jiangxi. There is the Han River, and among the great rivers of Han, we have the best navy in the world. The Jingzhou Navy patrols the river. Cao Cao can only look at the river and sigh.

At this time, Cao Cao's advance route and retreat route were cut off. Cao Cao's soldiers were like a group of trapped animals and were trapped by our army on the ground southwest of Quewei Slope and east of the Han River. Their morale was depleted and the army was panicked." 138
