Chapter 2512 : Chapter 1274: Dynamics of the East (2
Xu Shu pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and said.
Xu Shu actually felt that he was taking a risk, but he was much calmer than Dong Cheng.
"That's right. The general commands the six armies. Which one of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Pang De, Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Dong Gai and others is the weak one? Even if the army is defeated, they will escort the general back south to Luoyang. Don't worry about the general.
General's comfort." Gan Ning also nodded and said.
Gan Ning was very powerful and trusted generals like Zhao Yun and Dong Gai very much.
"That's all."[
Dong Cheng smiled bitterly when he heard this and sighed. Immediately afterwards, Dong Cheng threw away the official document and ordered in a deep voice: "Order the army to prepare and sneak into Hebei tonight."
"promise."
Xu Shu and Gan Ning both agreed and went down to make arrangements.
"Bingzhou."
After the two left, Dong Cheng's eyes showed a fierce murderous intention. Since the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, he would go straight to Bingzhou, enter Hebei, and kill Yuan Shao.
Dong Cheng gave an order, and five elite soldiers began to gather. They sneaked towards Hebei at night.
With so many troops mobilized, even if they could use the darkness to protect them temporarily, they would be exposed in the daytime without cover.
The next morning, when the sun rose three poles high.
Cao Cao got the news.
But Cao Cao was a little confused about this.
In the city, in the county government hall.
Cao Cao and his subordinates Guo Jia, Chen Qun, Dong Zhao, Xiahou Dun and other civil and military ministers sat down to discuss this matter.
"The mall is important and can be said to be the mouthpiece of Yuzhou. But Dong Cheng and Xu Shu gave up on the mall and went north. I don't know what this means?"
On the first seat, Cao Cao's eyes shone with a spark of light. He glanced around at his subordinates and asked.
"I'm afraid there is some conspiracy in it." Dong Zhao was the first to speak. Dong Zhao's words were not wrong, but they were not said either.
"I'm afraid that the return path of Bingzhou's 180,000 elite soldiers will be cut off." Guo Jia made a superior move and said solemnly after pondering for a moment.
Suddenly, everyone in the hall was horrified.
If the return route is cut off, the army will either be very powerful or have low morale. These 180,000 elite soldiers are the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, so they are inevitably uneven.
If the way back is cut off, it will cost your life.[
"Then Dong Cheng sent troops to the north to capture Hanoi and defend Jiguan. Liu Feng will order a large army to attack Huguan."
Cao Cao was also very dignified and opened his mouth to speak.
However, Cao Cao was also a very decisive person. After guessing Liu Feng's purpose, he immediately made a decision. He took a deep breath and ordered: "Immediately send someone to inform Yuan Shao of the news and let him defend Hu Pass."
.”
"promise."
Chen Qun agreed and immediately went down to arrange the arrangements.
"Immediately send your troops to the north to pursue Dong Cheng's army." Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao ordered again.
"promise."
Everyone agreed in a loud voice, and then went down to prepare.
"Hopefully, it's not too late." After everyone left, Cao Cao said solemnly.
However, Cao Cao's hope was in vain.
Dong Cheng, Xu Shu, and Gan Ning led the five armies to advance for four or five hours, but Cao Cao failed to pursue them in the end. Hanoi itself was not an important place, and Zhao's defense was lax.
After Dong Cheng, Xu Shu, Gan Ning and others led their troops into Hanoi, they easily captured Hanoi and occupied the Xiongguan and Jiguan passes between Hanoi and Hedong.
Amidst the conspiracy of both sides, the Han army still took the first step.
However, this step is relatively easy. The next step is the critical step.
Whether the coalition forces captured Hedong first or the Han army captured Huguan first was crucial. If the Han army failed, everything would be lost.
Even Liu Feng might be killed in Bingzhou.
If the Han army is victorious, there is hope of annexing the state.
