Chapter 1058 : Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Six A Good Way to Bring Disaster to the East (2
On that day, Cao Cao decided to launch troops against Lu Su. (www
Cao Cao reacted quickly and sent people to chase him.
However, Xiahou Dun had already mobilized troops and approached Nanyang County.
In the Xiangcheng area, on an official road that leads directly from north to south, Xiahou Dun led 10,000 elite troops and marched southward.[
There are no weak soldiers in Xiahou Dun's camp. There is no doubt that this is an elite army. At present, among all Cao Cao's forces, only Xiahou Dun's elite troops still have some strength left.
However, Xu Du's military strength was already low. There were only 20,000 elite soldiers left. Zhong Yao, who was in charge of Chang'an, managed to collect some of the elite soldiers and transported them here.
Xu Du is the heart, so he naturally needs elite soldiers to defend him. But this time, the elite soldiers in the heart were used, which shows Cao Cao's determination to defeat Lu Su.
Therefore, Xiahou Dun also worked extremely hard.
"Speed up, speed up. When we reach Wancheng, we will reward the whole army." Immediately, Xiahou Dun kept urging the soldiers to speed up.
I hope to reach Wancheng as soon as possible, meet up with Cao Ren, and then have a battle with Lu Su.
"General, General Xiahou, Duke Ming has an order. Please change your route to the east and attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou." At this time, several fast horses galloped from the north. One of the knights passed the soldiers and shouted at Xiahou Dun.
"What?" Xiahou Dun was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously tightened the reins of his horse.
"This is an official document." Taking this opportunity, the knights quickly came to the front of Xiahou Dun. The leader took off the official document tied on his back and handed it to Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun took it solemnly, opened it, and cursed loudly: "Liu Bei, the thief, is seeking death."
In fact, Xiahou Dun wanted to challenge Lu Su more, but he also knew that Xuzhou was so important that it would be a disaster if Liu Bei was allowed to become more powerful.
Immediately, he shouted: "I give the order to change the route to the east and attack Liu Bei."
Following Xiahou Dun's order, as if the wind direction had changed, Cao Cao's expeditionary army no longer troubled Lu Su and turned to attack Liu Bei.
Still like attacking Lu Su, they marched in a hurry and headed towards Xuzhou at an extremely fast speed.
Xiahou Dun, who was ordered to reinforce Wancheng, withdrew his troops midway. Cao Ren, who was stationed in Wancheng and was gathering for defense, naturally received the news.
At the top of Wancheng City, Cao Ren was inspecting the city wall. Although Wancheng was tall and majestic, Cao Ren was still extremely cautious when facing Lu Su. All preparations were meticulous.
"General, Liu Bei rebelled in Xuzhou, and General Xiahou Dun led his troops to Xuzhou." At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came to Cao Ren's side and reported.
Cao Ren's expression changed, and he couldn't help but tighten the hand holding the sword at his waist. But then, he said calmly: "Yes."
After responding, Cao Ren continued to inspect the city wall.[
But the regret deep in Cao Ren's eyes could not be erased.
He joined forces with Xiahou Dun, and the armies of both sides totaled more than 20,000. In the field battle, it was enough to compete with Lu Su, but the good opportunity was ruined.
How could Cao Ren not regret it?
Lu Su raised his troops in Xinye, and the situation in the world changed drastically. Liu Bei raised his troops in Xuzhou, and the situation in the world changed drastically again.
The news from all over the world also reached Liu Feng's ears one after another.
At this moment, the troops of Lu Su, Zhao Yun, Wenpin, Gan Ning and other generals had gathered in Ai County. When the news came, Liu Feng was leading the four generals to discuss important matters in the Ai County government hall.
When the news came, Liu Feng was stunned for a while, and then he laughed and said: "There is a saying that misfortune leads to the east. I didn't know Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, otherwise he would have contacted Liu Bei in the name of Zijing to jointly attack Cao Cao. Now
He is the one who diverts the trouble to the east, but I don’t want Liu Bei to jump out on his own, defend Gu Gu, be a true loyal minister, and no longer have the name of a clan member of the Han Dynasty."
"It's a good move to divert trouble to the east, good."
