The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

If Cao Cao wins, he will surely drive straight to Chang'an.

Maybe Liu Ke, who had just succeeded to the throne, would lose the capital and flee in a hurry.

At that time, Cao Cao will naturally only take Jing Zhaoyin, and his strength will expand again.

But there are not many people who have such great confidence in Cao Cao, and more people think that the winner this time will be the new emperor Liu Ke.

As for Cao Cao, it is very likely that his troops will be lost again, his vitality will be severely injured, and he will even be completely wiped out.

Just when the world was talking about it, Liu Ke's two armies had already advanced and arrived at the border in a few days.

Originally, Cao Cao had already captured Qi County, but when he heard Liu Ke's 20 troops arrived.

He even gave up the city he had obtained and took the initiative to retreat to Liangzhou.

However, no one was surprised by Cao Cao's retreat.

After all, Liu Ke's military exploits are illustrious, and everyone understands that even if he flinches, he is not ashamed.

Moreover, although Cao Cao's personal conquest this time was not for a decisive battle with Liu Ke.

He still acted according to the previous plan.

Although his and Cao Ren's two armies were powerful, they were only for the purpose of bluffing and attracting Liu Ke's main force.

The real killer was a soldier Xia Houyuan ambushed in Shangyu.

After Liu Ke dispatched all the soldiers and horses, and the internal defense was empty, this strange soldier would take the Wei River down the river and go straight to Chang'an.

Cao Cao's plan was very secretive, and he believed that it would be impossible for the other party to see through it in a short time.

Therefore, Cao Cao simply retreated back to Yiju, fifty miles away from Qi County, and fortified the walls to clear the field, holding back Liu Ke's army.

And Liu Ke had to guard against it.

Because Yiju, where Cao Cao lives, is located in the upper reaches of the Jingshui River, while Liu Ke's current Qi County is in the lower reaches of the Jingshui River.

So the opponent can attack him downstream at any time, but he has to defend himself hard.

Qi County was originally located at the foot of Liupan Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles from north to south.

What's more, the mountain is [-] feet high, and it is dangerously close to Qinguan, which is [-] feet heavy.

Even Liu Ke, who was used to seeing the Central Plains, sighed.

Now that Cao Cao had retreated to Liangzhou, Liu Ke did not attack immediately.

Instead, they set up camp for the time being and sent scouts to familiarize themselves with the environment here.

After finding out the terrain here, send troops to attack.

While the two sides were defending each other, the other army finally approached.

Naturally, Cao Ren was unwilling to let go of Qian County, which had just been captured.

He simply stood by and waited for Ma Chaojun who came from a long distance.

After Ma Chao led his army to arrive, he set up camp [-] miles east of Si County and took a temporary rest.

When all the barracks were stationed, Pang Tong suddenly pulled Ma Chao over.

"Shiyuan, what's the matter?" Ma Chao looked puzzled.

Pang Tong said quietly: "Meng Qi, our army has just arrived here after a long-distance attack, and we are exhausted.

The other party will definitely not let go of such a golden opportunity.

So I predict that Cao Jun will come to rob the camp tonight! "

When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly realized.

He just cared about the command and set up camp, but he didn't think as comprehensively as the other party.

So Ma Chao suddenly realized, and said in a sincerely convinced way: "Shi Yuan, in your opinion, what should we do?"

He understood that Pang Tong was His Majesty's confidant adviser, who was quick-witted and well-versed in military literature.

So it is definitely not just throwing out a question, I must have already had an idea.

Seeing Ma Chao's expression, Pang Tong knew that he had read his thoughts.

So he didn't hold back any more, and immediately said: "I've been prepared for a long time. You still remember, we were on the march.

Have I placed a Raider? "

Ma Chao finally remembered.

Before, he was a little dissatisfied because of Pang Tong's arrangement, but he didn't expect to prepare for today.

It turned out that before the three-day journey here, Pang Tong had ordered all the cavalry to dismount.

Gather these horses and use them to pull the cart, but the cart is full of five thousand camps.

Not only Ma Chao was dissatisfied with such an arrangement, but the sergeants also did not understand it.

Thinking that the same is the army, why can they take a carriage, but they have to walk on foot?

So when Pang Tong arranged, there were still many people colliding with each other.
