Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

This time, Cao Shuo not only focused on his achievements, but also took care of his relatives more or less.

Cao Shuo looked at Cao Ren and said, "General Zixiao, the defense of Tongguan is entrusted to you. You must guard Tongguan for me."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, and Xun Chen, the three of you led [-] Xuanjia troops and [-] infantry to Huayin County immediately, and surrounded Duan Yao's camp."

"promise!"

After the three men led the soldiers to leave, Cao Shuo released Yang Xiu who was imprisoned in the cell, "Dezu, how is your father now?"

Yang Xiu cried: "Your Majesty, Li Ru has already seen my motives, so my father must not be spared."

Cao Shuo sighed, it was a pity that such a talented person was killed by Dong Zhuo.

"Dezu, I lack a master book by my side, so you can stay by my side and be a master book."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"How many soldiers are there in Chang'an City?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chang'an still has [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and innumerable amounts of money and food. Dong Zhuo scavenged these from outside the pass."

Guo Jia reminded: "Your Majesty, Tongguan has been captured by our army. Dong Zhuo will definitely send reinforcements to Duan Yan. Why don't we lie in ambush along the way?"

Cao Shuo thought about it, and felt that Guo Jia's guess was correct. Although Tongguan was not the last barrier in Guanzhong, its geographical location was extremely important. Zheng County, Huayin, and Baling were all flat.

"Yan Liang, I will allocate five thousand Xuanjia troops to you, and you will detour to Zheng County and ambush the other side's reinforcements there."

"promise!"

"At noon tomorrow, the army will continue to move forward and arrive at Zheng County before dark."

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Shuo was still asleep when he was awakened by Zhao Yu.

"Your Majesty, Nanyang County and Hedong County sent good news at the same time."

Cao Shuo took a look at it, and said hello three times.

Under the leadership of Zhao Feng and Zang Ba, the sneak attack soldiers sent by Zhao Yun from Fengxiang City successfully bypassed Lantian and captured Lantian County by surprise, leaving Li Su, the guard of Gaoguan, as a lone army.

But the next battle is the cruelest. Lantian's defenders are only 2000 people. If Dong Zhuo attacks the county at all costs, it's hard to say how long they can last.

If Zhao Yun can conquer Gao Pass in a short time, then the southern gate of Chang'an will be completely opened.

Cao Shuo took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote a letter, handed it to Zhao Yun, and explained: "Send the horse to Luoyang quickly, and let Xu Rong who stays in Luoyang lead [-] Xuanjia troops to support Nanyang."

He transferred Xia Houyuan away, and Zhao Feng and Zang Ba were not in Nanyang, leaving Zhao Yun with Wang Ling and Wang Chen brothers.

Once Guan Yu leads an army to attack Nanyang County, neither of them can stop it.

Cao Shuo opened another battle report, which surprised him even more.

Gao Shun and Liu Ye built plank roads to cover Chencang secretly, mobilized [-] troops in Puban and Fenyin respectively, and dragged Li Jue, the guard of Xiayang, and Li Ru, the guard of Linjin, who were on the other side of the river.

Then Gao Shun personally led [-] people into the camp, crossed the Yellow River from the direction of Jayang, and attacked Li Ru in Linjin.

Li Jue was worried that Li Ru would be lost, so he led an army to support him. Tian Yu, who was in Fenyin, took the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and took Xia Yang.

The army of Hedong County opened the passage to Zuo Fengling, and the soldiers rushed towards Zuo Fengling like a tide, while Li Ru and Li Jue defended the Luoshui coast.

Cao Shuo immediately summoned all the soldiers in the camp and said, "Gao Shun's army has crossed the Yellow River, and Lantian has been captured by Zhao Feng and Zang Ba. Next, we will give Dong Zhuo a different place."

Deng Zhan has been hiding in Chang'an City since he acted alone, and Shi A's team is also in Chang'an City. They must be given enough time to make arrangements.

Xi Zhicai said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Jinyi Guard in Chang'an City that Dong Zhuo wants to recruit [-] new soldiers to support Zuo Fengling."

Fifty thousand recruits?

Cao Shuo looked disdainful, even if his soldiers were all the Feixiong Army, they couldn't stop the current Xuanjia Army.

Cao Shuo looked at Huang Zhong and said, "General Han Sheng, you lead [-] Xuanjia troops to build ships on the Yellow River section of Rui Township, and give Li Ru a signal to cross the river."

"promise!"

Chapter 457 When the catastrophe is imminent, they fly separately, like the Dong Liu alliance of window paper

Several families were happy and some were sad, Cao Shuo suddenly led an army to attack Chang'an, which made Liu Bei and Ma Teng feel the crisis.

If Dong Zhuo couldn't resist Cao Shuo's attack, then the two of them would be the ones who would perish next.

In the city of Hanzhong, Liu Bei summoned civil servants and generals to discuss whether Dong Zhuo was attacked by Cao Shuo, and whether they should send troops to contain Cao Shuo.

"Report to Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo's envoy is asking to see you."

Liu Bei frowned, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo's envoy to come so quickly.

As an alliance, Dong Zhuo gave so many benefits, if he didn't send a few soldiers symbolically to harass Cao Shuo's rear, maybe no one would ally with him again in the future.

Think about Cao Shuo's horror, if he is isolated again, then he will become the next target to be wiped out.

Du Xi said: "My lord, we can send people to Ma Teng and ask him to stop fighting. Once we both lose in the fight, it may be easier for Cao Shuo."

Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian and said, "Gongyou, you go to Beidi County!"

"The subordinates will complete the task!"

After Sun Qian left, Liu Bei sent Dong Zhuo's envoy to his chamber.

"The next Zhang, Zhang Derong, has met the King of Hanzhong!"

"What is Mr. De Jong doing here?"

Zhang Ji said slightly displeased: "King of Hanzhong, we are being attacked by Cao Shuo. As an ally, shouldn't the King of Hanzhong send troops to contain Cao Shuo and harass Cao Shuo's rear?"

Liu Bei said awkwardly: "We are discussing where to send troops!"

Zhang Ji's eyes are full of contempt, don't you attack Cao Shuo just go up the road?Still need to discuss where to send troops?These are all excuses.

"Then the king of Hanzhong has negotiated a result?"

Du Xi said: "Our army decided to send troops from Shangyong, and let General Guan lead an army of [-] to attack Nanyang County in a surprise attack to contain Zhao Yun's army!"

Zhang Ji asked again, "When did the King of Hanzhong decide to send troops?"

The discussion is just an excuse, and there will never be any result without sending troops. Liu Bei was frightened by Cao Shuo to Hanzhong, and I am afraid he will not send troops easily.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "In the morning of the day after tomorrow, my second brother Yun Chang can send troops to harass Nanyang."

"the day after tomorrow?"

Zhang opened his mouth wide, why didn't you say next year, "Chang'an is at stake, the King of Hanzhong should understand the reason why lips are dead and teeth are cold."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Of course I understand this truth, but Hanzhong is also quite a distance from Shangyong. The mountain road is steep and the snow has not yet melted. It will take time for us to issue an order."

Zhang Ji's face was extremely gloomy. It seemed that Liu Bei didn't think about Cao Shuo's attack on Qin, otherwise he wouldn't be discussing it at this time.

"The King of Hanzhong has always been magnanimous, benevolent and righteous. Why is he hesitant on this matter? Could it be that he is afraid of Cao Shuo?"

Liu Bei looked angry, who is not afraid of Cao Shuo, if he is not afraid of Cao Shuo, he will move to Hanzhong?

But Liu Bei will never say this, and his image cannot be ruined overnight.

"Mr. De Rong, don't worry, Zhao Yun from Nanyang County is now attacking Yaoguan. If we attack Nanyang County secretly, we will definitely be able to bring Zhao Yun back to the army."

Zhang is going crazy, is it as simple as returning to the army?

Is it because after Zhao Yun returns to the army, you don't plan to continue?

With so many war horses sent earlier, the food and grass really fed the dogs.

After Zhang Ji left Hanzhong, Liu Bei looked at Du Xi and asked, "Taiwei, are we really going to send troops now?"

Liu Bei didn't intend to continue to offend Cao Shuo. If Cao Shuo was offended, they might be ravaged by Cao Shuo's army.

Du Xi analyzed: "Dong Zhuo will definitely not be able to defend against Cao Shuo. It depends on how long he can hold on. After Cao Shuo captures Chang'an, in order to stabilize the situation in Chang'an, he will definitely capture Sanguan and Xiaoguan and seal off his entry. aisle."

"Xiaoguan is now guarded by Yan Xing. He himself is a surrendered general, and his loyalty is not high. If Cao Shuo's army breaks through Chang'an, he will most likely join Cao Shuo."

"Sanguan is in our hands. This is what Cao Shuo must attack. We might as well give up Sanguan to Cao Shuo. The general Guan of Nanyang County will make a show. After we take Yizhou, we will have a battle with Cao Shuo." capital for hegemony."

Liu Bei thought about it, and felt that what Du Xi said made sense. If Cao Shuo was offended to death at this time, he might not be safe.

"Who can come to Cao Shuo's place to be a lobbyist?"

Du Xi said: "Your Majesty, General Guan is just right!"

Guan Yu stayed with Cao Shuo for a long time. Cao Shuo also loved Guan Yu very much, but Guan Yu would not betray him.

If Guan Yu were to be a lobbyist, Cao Shuo would not be too embarrassing for him.

As long as the news is delivered quickly, Guan Yu can successfully complete the mission and return to Shangyong before the morning of the day after tomorrow.

Duan Yan's camp in Huayin was shot by Cao Shuo's longbowmen for two days. Duan Yan abandoned the camp and retreated to Zheng County.

The reinforcements sent by Dong Zhuo were also defeated by Yan Liang. Cao Shuo built a big camp five miles below Zheng County City.

"My lord, Guan Yu, Liu Bei's general, came out of the camp alone."

"Oh?"

Cao Shuo was not in a hurry to summon Guan Yu. Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo were allies. Guan Yu came to his camp at this time, and he must have come for Dong Zhuo.

Cao Shuo called Guo Jia and Xun You and told them that Guan Yu had come here.

Xun You narrowed his eyes and said, "Dong Zhuo must have asked Liu Bei for help, but Guan Yu didn't lead an army to attack Nanyang County, but came here. Could it be that he is a lobbyist?"

Guo Jia said: "Our army has reached this point, and the possibility of being a lobbyist is not great. Even if Liu Bei cede Hanzhong, I am afraid that our army will not be able to retreat."

Xun You said: "Your Majesty, why don't you call Guan Yu and ask him why he's here?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, Jia has an ingenious plan so that Guan Yu will not return in vain this time."

"Oh?" Cao Shuo and Xun You looked at Guo Jia curiously.

Guo Jia explained: "My lord, why don't you lead the soldiers to inspect the city of Zheng County?"

Cao Shuo narrowed his eyes, and instantly understood Guo Jia's intentions.

"Come here, prepare your horse, and let Guan Yu come down to Zheng County to meet me."

Standing at the top of the city, Duan Yao couldn't help frowning when he saw hundreds of cavalry standing there three hundred paces away.

That's Cao Shuo, there are only three or four hundred people around him, if at this time, he leads the army to fight out...

Duan Yan hurriedly shook his head, there must be no return...

How could I have such a strange idea.

Cao Shuo's martial arts skills are stronger than Lu Bu's. How could such a low-level trick deceive me? He has no way to lure me out of the city.

"Strengthen your defenses, no one is allowed to leave the city."

"Look, general, that young man with red face and long beard is so familiar!"

"Isn't that Guan Yu, Liu Bei's righteous brother? Why is he in Cao Shuo's army?"

"Look at them talking and laughing, they seem to be very familiar."

"Liu Bei, that bastard, won't break his promise, so he will take refuge with Cao Shuo."

Chapter 458 Chang'an Crisis, Dong Zhuo Recalls Li Ru

"What is the purpose of General Guan coming to our barracks?"

Cao Shuo looked at Guan Yu with a smile on his face. Just by standing here, Dong Zhuo's imagination could flow.

Guan Yu didn't realize the problem yet, so he said, "The king of Wei must know about our alliance with Dong Zhuo."

"Is Yun Chang here to be a lobbyist?"

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I implore King Wei to save face and let Zhao Yun withdraw from Gao Pass, even if it is another person to attack."

Cao Shuo looked surprised, this Liu Bei was really a villain, and he used such means to confuse Dong Zhuo.

But this also illustrates a problem, Liu Bei doesn't want to be his enemy, what is this guy doing in Hanzhong?

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Since Yun Chang has come in person, I'll give you some face."

"Come here, tell Zhao Yun to withdraw from Gao Pass, let Xu Rong lead the troops to attack Gao Pass!"

Guan Yu smiled wryly. He didn't expect Cao Shuo to attack with another person, but it didn't seem to make much difference. After all, Zhao Yun didn't need to attack the city himself.

But in this way, he can also give an explanation to his elder brother. When he is free, he will accompany Zhao Yun through two tricks, and Dong Zhuo can't say anything.
