"Da da da da da."

Countless cavalry rolled up dust in the sky and headed towards Puyang City. The "liang"-shaped flags connected front and back to form a long dragon.

Under the flag of the "Hu" character, Hu Cheer held a spear and kept shouting: "Be careful, don't let the horses be frightened and trampled on the people's fields."

This area is densely populated, and spring plowing has begun.

Zhang Xiu had long issued an order not to trample on the farmland and lose people's hearts.

Although Hu Cheer was born between Qiang and Hu and had Di Yi blood in his body, he had long understood the principle of winning the hearts of the people and restraining his soldiers very strictly after following Zhang Xiu over the years.

With his shouts, the cavalry carefully drove the war horses and walked on the avenue, not daring to step on the thunder pool.

The people were busy working in the farmland, but they had already run away when they saw Liang Jun. But they didn't run far away and stood in the distance and looked around. Seeing this, they all felt good about Liang Jun.

"I heard that Liang's army is brave and good at fighting, but I didn't expect that he was so kind and righteous."

"Yes, I heard that Dong Zhuo's Western Liang army discipline was abominable and his soldiers were arrogant and domineering, and he even killed Liang and took credit. Unexpectedly, the Liang army...

"Don't compare Liang's army with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, that's two different things."

The Liang army won the hearts of the people, and the other was shocking.

Although the marching speed became slow, Hu Cheer still drove the army and arrived at the east gate of Puyang City.

Hu Cheer stopped his horse and greeted him, "Five hundred players who can speak Luoyang and speak loudly, let the civil servants teach them how to say it."

"promise."

The official responded. Soon after, a military officer gathered 500 strong soldiers with loud voices to the range of shooting the bow and arrow. He put his hands beside his mouth and shouted at the city in Luoyang Mandarin: "Listen to the people in the city. The Liang Dynasty was the Han, and the destiny of heaven was. The Emperor of Liang went deep into the desert to kill the Xianbei Shanyu Budugen, advanced to Youzhou, and killed the Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun, swept Goguryeo, Sanhan, and set up Yanzhou. Two hundred thousand people were stationed in Guangyang City."

"Cao Cao was deeply trapped in a quagmire and could not return to the Central Plains. Now there are people everywhere resisting Cao Cao and surrendering to the Liang Dynasty."

"If you are willing to open the city gate and welcome the king's army into the city, the emperor will grant titles, official positions, and land according to your reputation, ability, and merit."

The soldiers shouted repeatedly, saying something was in order.

First, he promoted Zhang Xiu's military power and military achievements, and then he showed Cao Cao's embarrassment in Jizhou and the Central Plains, and finally used his profits to tempt the civil and military officials in the city.

Zhang Xiu's courtesy of the wise and the trust and righteousness spread all over the world will inevitably be moved by someone. As for whether anyone takes action, it is probably impossible.

After all, this is Puyang City, Cao Cao’s nest. Even if people are in a state of turmoil, they dare not take action.

Hu Cheer never thought that in this way, Xun Yu and others opened the city to surrender.

It was just to shake people's hearts and force Cao Cao to return to the Central Plains.

The city was hung with the flag of the word "Cao". A general stood with a sword, his eyes firm and unshakable. Each Cao army had a strict military appearance and a solid morale as strong as a rock.

But the scholars in Puyang City are indeed all volatile.

Just like the Central Plains are now filled with small-scale rebellions, the scholars in Puyang City gradually tended to be the Liang army to capture the world.

Now Hu Cheer is outside the city, so of course they float.

On Xun Yu's mansion and in the study.

Xun Yu and Zhong Yao sat face to face. There was a black table in front of them, and a chessboard was above them.

Xun Yu held the black chess first, Zhong Yao held the white chess, and both sides made a move like flying, and the two black and white sons intertwined with murderous intent.

A small official walked in from outside and whispered to the two of them.

"Hu Cheer's purpose is indeed to show off his might under Puyang City. If I expected it would be fine. After he shouted outside the city for a while, he should leave Puyang, then circled around Dongjun, and shouted outside the county town. Finally, when the food was almost finished, he would return to the west and meet with Zhang Liao."

Xun Yu stopped and held the black chess in his hand and sighed.

Although he understood Hu Cheer's intentions and the Cao army and infantry in the city were also elite, the cavalry... If ten thousand tiger and leopard cavalry were here, he would dare to eat Hu Cheer.

"Why."

Zhong Yao put Bai Zi back into the chess box and lamented.

Zhang Xiu’s good abacus.

The lord had only one road and returned to the Central Plains from Jizhou.

.............

Near Huguan, Cao's army camp.

The characters "Cao" are all over the camp, and the soldiers are wearing strong and holding sharp edges, patrolling or standing guard, cheering up their spirits.

Although the situation is unfavorable, it does not have much impact on ordinary Cao's soldiers. The general of Cao's army is too excellent and restrains the soldiers, which is very powerful.

Inside the Central Army's tent.

Cao Cao was kneeling on the handsome squad wearing a double-layer black dress, pressing the hilt of the sword with his hands. Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were placed on both sides.

"A clever wife can't cook without rice. Although we have wisdom and elite soldiers, it is useless to face such Liang army."

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed.

Cheng Yu and Guo Jia were also helpless. Liang Jun’s own qualities were too strong, and the generals were all excellent and loyal.

Zhang Xiu was in charge of Youzhou, coordinated the overall situation, and his advisers were like rain.

This is what is called. "The army is not as powerful as the other party, and the wisdom cannot be beyond the other party's expectations."

Now, the Liang army relied on its superiority in military strength to defend Nanyang County to resist Sun Jian. Zhang Liao left Huzhu, Taishi Ci left Hanoi, and Pang Detun was stationed on the side of Huguan, staring at Gao Lan.

Zhang Xiu himself led more than 100,000 troops in Guangyang City. Sitting on his imperial throne and looking at the world, it seemed that the Qin Emperor could replace him for a moment.

The trend is grand and unstoppable.

"Lord. Although I know that this is Zhang Xiu's plan, if I stay in Jizhou, the Central Plains will definitely lose first. If I lose the Central Plains, it will make no sense to help Yuan Shao in Jizhou. It is better to say goodbye to Yuan Shao, retreat to Puyang, and suppress the Central Plains."

Although Cheng Yu's throat was astringent, he still made a rational judgment and bowed to Cao Cao.

The weather is still warm now, Guo Jia's face has a layer of blood, and he is in good spirits. He nodded and said, "My lord Zhongde is right. If you stop, you will suffer from it. If you return to the Central Plains, there are still four states, Qing, Xu, Yan, and Yu, which can match Zhang Xiu."

Guo Jia also exaggerated a little, and the current situation is difficult to match Zhang Xiu. If Zhang Xiu destroyed Yuan Shao and seized Jizhou, the largest state in the world, it would be a big bosom.

But they have four states and still have the hope of turning defeat into victory.

Staying in Jizhou is all over.

"I understand." Cao Cao was silent for a while, let out a long sigh, then grind the ink himself, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, summoned an official, and sent someone to send it to Yuan Shao of Nanpi.

"retreat."

Cao Cao stood up, and although he was full of reluctance, he waved his hand and ordered.

"promise."

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu stood up together and bowed to the promise.

It was too late to leave today. Early the next morning, the Cao army camp collected the tents and wood step by step, and took countless large carts of supplies to the southeast.

Now Taishici is attacking Chaoge, and the solid navy is near Guandu, so they can even cross the river near the plain.

............

Huguan.

This pass is a powerful pass, and there is nothing to repair in the pass itself.

Gao Lan didn’t need to worry about supplies, supplies, etc. Yuan Shao sent people to deliver them continuously.

But Gao Lan was still guilty.

Guan Lingfu, in a room, Gao Lan knelt in front of the table, eating vegetables and drinking wine.

"Oh." After sighing, Gao Lan put down the wine glass, and the meat in his mouth was as tasteless as wax.

He had heard about the Central Plains. He was nervous and sent someone to stare at the Cao army camp, for fear that Cao Cao would fly away.

The 50,000 Cao troops are good at fighting. They are the second ladder force to defend Huguan.

Outside Huguan, there are still tens of thousands of elite Liang troops from Pang De who are eyeing him.

Gao Lan was not afraid of Pang De. He was sitting in a pass and could remain as motionless as a mountain. But what if the Liang army in Youzhou attacked from behind?

This possibility is as high as 90%.

In the entire Hebei, Gao Lan is one of the few people who can fight with talented people. He dared to conclude that the first attack launched by the Liang army must have been targeted at Huguan.

Once the Huguan is opened.

Pang De could lead tens of thousands of elite troops to send troops from Jizhou from the east.

By then, Zhang Xiu is in the north, Pang De is in the east, and Taishici is in the southwest. He will attack Jizhou from three sides, and the war will be rampant, and Jizhou will never be peaceful.

"If there was no miracle, my Lord would probably be finished." Gao Lan thought of this and felt a little more afraid in his heart. He subconsciously pinched the wine glass and poured a glass into his mouth.

"Report to the general. Cao Cao retreated and headed southeastward." A personal soldier walked in from outside and said with a look of fear.

"What did you say."

Gao Lan's eyes widened and suddenly stood up, then he accidentally dropped his wine glass, swayed and fell to the ground, and the man fell back in a daze.

"I really left. No, I should have left as expected. The two families are alliances, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to abandon the foundation of the Central Plains for the sake of his lord."

"What should I do next?"
