The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

The crisp and clear bell rang, and Cao Jun, who had been resting in the city, immediately took action and began to rush to the top of the city to prepare for the battle.

After a while, the city was full of Cao Jun.

The Rolling Stone Thunder Wood and Fierce Oil Bow and Arrow needed to defend the city were also prepared in an orderly manner.

Looking at this efficiency alone, Xiahou Dun's ability to govern the army can be seen, and he ranks in the top two among the generals under Cao Cao.

Cao Jun was ready to go, waiting for the opponent's siege troops to arrive and give the enemy a head-on blow.

However, Cao Jun saw the enemy getting closer and closer from the top of the city, and finally came to a distance of three miles outside the city.

Going further, you will reach the potholes and muddy area created by Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun stared at the enemy with one eye, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Hmph! Ma Chao, it seems that you finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Your Xiliang iron cavalry is peerless, and your siege equipment is powerful, but this will depend on how you break my city! "

Xiahou Dun was sneering, but suddenly found that the enemy did not come any closer after reaching a distance of three miles.

Instead, he walked directly eastward around the city, as if the city next to him didn't exist.

The scene in front of him instantly surprised Xiahou Dun.

"Here, what is the other party going to do?"

At this moment, Zhang Ji, who had been silent all this time, finally figured it out.

"I understand! The big thing is not good!"

His exclamation instantly attracted the attention of Xiahou Dun and the others.

"De Jong, why are you exclaiming so much?"

"General, I'm afraid Ma Chao's army is not planning to attack the city, but has another conspiracy!"

"What, General Zhang, please explain carefully!" Xia Houchong asked curiously.

"Look, General, Linjing City is so deep that it is absolutely impossible for us to conquer it in just one day.

Therefore, if Ma Chao's army attacked the city, there would be no need to take such a lot of trouble to set up camp.

After all, if the siege is not successful, it would be troublesome to spend time setting up camp again.

But the behavior of the other party at the moment, coupled with the direction they are going, I am worried that the other party has other plans! "

"Could it be that Ma Chao is going to bypass Linjing and march directly to where the king is?"

After Zhang Ji's guidance, Xiahou Dun also saw the general idea.

Then his one eye seemed to spew fire.

"Ma Chao, you are too deceptive! Do you really treat me as nothing?"

Ma Chao's behavior is obviously ignoring Xiahou Dun.

This kind of performance naturally made him feel greatly insulted, and he immediately ordered soldiers and horses to kill the general and teach the other party a lesson.

However, Xiahou Dun was persuaded by Zhang Ji before he left.

After all, the other party was only the vanguard, and the truth is unknown!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Originally, the scene in front of him made Xiahou Dun furious, and he was about to lead the army to attack.

In the end, after Zhang Ji's talking and talking, he finally didn't make a move immediately, but waited and watched for the time being, watching the movement of the opponent's large army before making a decision.

However, in order to prevent the opponent from really taking the opportunity to attack Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun still sent people to monitor outside the city.

By observing the number of people passing by Ma Chao's army, determine the opponent's true intentions.

After all, if it was bait, it would be impossible to send many people.

If you really want to march, the whole army will be dispatched.

But although Xiahou Dun knew this truth, how could the resourceful Pang Tong not think of it?

In addition to arranging an eastward army within three miles outside the city.

In a place farther away from the city, it is another scene.

This place is far away from Linjing City, and there are trees in the middle, so I can't see the specific situation here.

Therefore, Pang Tong arranged for Pang Rou to lead 1000 troops, bluffing, and deliberately creating a scene of a large army crossing the border.

Cao Jun, who was in charge of observation on the top of the city, could only see banners and flags in the dense forest farther away, and smoke and dust billowed. It was impossible to see how many soldiers and horses there were, and he could only judge based on experience.

So, in the evening, after Ma Chao's army all passed in front of the defenders in Linjing City, the defenders judged that at least 3 horses had passed by.

When Xiahou Dun heard the report, he couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately wanted to lead his troops to pursue again.

But Zhang Ji persuaded: "General, it's getting dark now, if you send troops hastily, you will surely fall into the enemy's ambush.

In my opinion, it's better to wait until tomorrow to observe and then make a decision.

Besides, although more than half of Ma Chao's army passed by, they did not see food, grass, luggage and other things passing by.
