Niu Fu sneered and said: "Cao Cao is obviously a person who is ignorant of current affairs. After he was obviously an eunuch, he still stood by Yuan Shao and the others. Doesn't he know that Yuan Shao almost killed his whole family!"

When Yuan Shao was in Luoyang City, he really massacred all the people related to the Eunuch Party. Even the scholars Xu Xiang and Fan Ling were massacred by Yuan Shao. These two families were also the top noble families of the Han Dynasty.

Just because they took refuge with Zhang Rang, they were slaughtered. This shows how determined the gentry were in wiping out the eunuchs at that time. They even killed their own people!

Cao Cao's grandfather was a member of the eunuch party, but he had a close relationship with the noble family. When his father, Cao Song, became a Taiwei, it was a pity that he was dismissed after less than a month. Cao Song

It was because of this experience that the gap in Luoyang City was so great that the undercurrent was surging, and he might be implicated in the party struggle at any time, so he took his whole family back to his hometown and escaped the disaster! If Cao Song had been in Luoyang City at that time, he might have been involved.

Yuan Shao killed!

Guo Si sneered and said: "That's not necessarily the case. The Cao family is just a weakling. When the eunuch party was strong, he helped the scholars. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were childhood friends. Just because of this relationship, the Cao family cannot be destroyed.

It's just that Cao Cao was confused. Because he played well with Yuan Shao and the others, he really considered himself a scholar. He forgot that he was from the eunuch party. It was impossible for the scholars to look up to him. Look! Cao Cao will definitely do it before long.

Scorned by the scholars!"

Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Why do you say so much? Cao Cao has done us a great favor. He sent 50,000 troops to Benxiang's mouth, and the prime minister swallowed up his 50,000 troops. Look at Yuan Shao, the main force is gone.

He doesn’t have the guts to continue to fight against the Prime Minister! The whole army is dispatched! The Prime Minister wants to personally fight the coalition forces!"

After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo said to Tian Yi: "Bring King Hongli with you, let me see if the effect of King Hongli is as obvious as Lei Gong said!"

Tian Yi smiled and said: "No! I think that King Hongli also wants to prove his innocence!"

Liu Bian was scared to death during this period. After all, he was a child who came out of the palace and was very politically sensitive.

When he knew that Yuan Shao was revolting in his name, he greeted Yuan Shao's family, and then he was worried every day, fearing that Dong Zhuo would give him a glass of poisonous wine and kill him. Liu Bian was originally a little fat man, two or three

Yue was so frightened that he lost 30 pounds, and his weight continued to decrease. Soon he looked like a disaster victim in this world.

Dong Zhuo's men also laughed when they heard this. They also wanted to see how the Kwantung Allied Forces would face King Hongli. It wasn't that they thought Yuan Shao and the others would really surrender, but they hated the hypocrisy of the Kwantung gentry.

Exposing their cover, even if it doesn't hurt them much, will make them feel much better!

Niu Fu smiled and said: "It seems that he is still showing mercy. If he really defeats all Cao Cao's army, we won't be able to see the hypocritical expressions of Cao Cao and others!"

These words made everyone laugh again!

On the other side, Dong Zhuo's vanguard Li Jue soon met Cao Cao's army!

Li Jue was naturally complacent and said: "Brothers, get ready. The Kwantung Allied Forces have appeared. Let's kill them and bleed them like rivers!"

The soldiers beside him raised their swords and shouted excitedly: "Blood flows like a river, blood flows like a river!"

Li Jue's men are all veterans of hundreds of battles. When Dong Zhuo formed the Flying Bear Army, he transferred all his most elite men to the Flying Bear Army. This combat effectiveness can be imagined. Li Jue is now proud every day.

.

Even the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army look at the sky when they meet other colleagues. In the Han Dynasty, only officers with at least the rank of Army Sima have the financial resources to wear iron armor, and not everyone can wear it, which means that their

The equipment is already at the level of mid-level officers, and the soldiers are all proud of themselves. Facing other soldiers, the Flying Bear Army is so majestic that they can't look down on the soldiers wearing leather armor. Veterans like them can feel this armor deeply.

Bring them fighting power.

At the same time, Cao Cao's scouting horse also discovered Li Jue's army! The two sides were less than 30 miles apart, and the war was about to break out.

When Xiahou Dun heard that the enemy was the Flying Bear Army, he was worried and said: "Mengde, this is Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army. It is the most elite unit of the Xiliang Army. It is not easy to fight!"

Xiahou Dun may not care about the Xiliang soldiers, but he cannot ignore these 5,000 sets of iron armor.

Cao Cao also squinted his eyes and recalled the information about the Flying Bear Army. This was simply an army piled up with money. Cao Cao's 10,000-strong army could not find 100 sets of iron armor, but there were 5,000 sets on the opposite side!

Even though Cao Cao became the cavalry captain of the Northern Army, his men were also the most elite Sanhe cavalry in the Han Dynasty. His men were also wearing leather armor! Iron armor was something only a small wealthy family could afford. Then Cao Cao thought that these 5,000 sets of iron armor were Dong Zhuo's.

After giving up what Shangdang County had obtained, he suddenly couldn't hold back his anger and said: "Dong Zhuo is indeed a traitor to the country!"

Then Cao Cao shouted: "Stop the whole army! Defend on the spot!"

The army of tens of thousands suddenly stopped advancing and began to transform from a marching column into a fighting line.

Then he said to Xia Houyuan, who was in the hundreds, "Miaocai, hurry up and inform Bao Xin and the others that we have encountered Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army. If we have 50,000 people and can completely wipe out this army, this will cut off Dong Zhuo's path."

Arm!"

Xia Houyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry Meng De, I will notify them as quickly as possible!"

After saying this, Xia Houyuan galloped towards the rear at full speed!

Cao Hong, who was next to Cao Cao, heard the name of the Flying Bear Army and drooled when he thought of the 5,000 sets of armor: "One piece of armor is worth 100,000 yuan. These people's armor alone is worth 500 million yuan. If you add the swords, this is what the Han Dynasty has to offer in just half a year."

With the income from the treasury, no wonder Dong Zhuo gave up on Shangdang County for some reason. This deal is worth it!"

Just because of these 5,000 sets of iron armor and Shangdang County, the name of the Flying Bear Army spread throughout the Han Dynasty. Everyone knew that Dong Zhuo had Shangdang County replace 5,000 sets of iron armor. It is really hard to say who suffered the loss and who was deceived, but the Kwantung Allied Forces definitely

Want to denounce Dong Zhuo!

When Cao Cao heard this, he whipped Cao Hong angrily and said: "How can the Han's territory be bought and sold at will? If Dong Zhuo is not eliminated, the world will be in trouble!"

Cao Ren said with a smile: "Zi Lian is a money addict. He is afraid that the money has blinded him, so he talks nonsense. But Zi Lian is right about one thing. These iron armors are a huge wealth.

If we annihilate the Flying Bear Army here and capture these armors, we cannot give them to Zhang Miao and the others. They don't know how to fight at all. Giving them the armor is a waste. We might as well give it to us, so that our soldiers' combat effectiveness can at least be improved.

More than double!”

Of course Cao Ren knew how powerful the Flying Bear Army was, but they had 50,000 troops here, fighting one against ten. Cao Ren didn't think they would fail, and he had even begun to use the armor on the Flying Bear Army as his own trophies.

However, Xiahou Dun warned: "Don't let down your guard, army. The Xiliang Army is already unparalleled in combat power. Now that they have obtained this batch of iron armor, it is even more powerful. I am afraid that we may not be able to stay with them! Moreover, Dong Zhuo's main force is not with the Flying Bear Army."

From afar, if we are careless, we may be the ones defeated!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up after hearing Cao Ren's words. If he had this army in his hands, there would be so much he could do. He could defeat Dong Zhuo, break through Hulao Pass, break into Luoyang City and rescue His Majesty!

Cao Cao originally wanted to have a small battle with Dong Zhuo to dampen Dong Zhuo's spirit, but now he wants to annihilate the flying bear army to enhance the strength of his own army!

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "How can we wipe out this army?"

Xiahou Dun saw that Cao Cao was really moved, and persuaded him: "Dong Zhuo's main force will not be 30 miles away from the Flying Bear Army at most. At this distance, Dong Zhuo can reach it in half a day, and with the fighting power of the Flying Bear Army, it can last for half a day. It will be dangerous then.

It’s us!”

After hearing this, Cao Cao said: "I want to plan carefully!"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said to Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Rang, I have something to discuss with Meng Zhuo and the others. You will lead the army first. Try not to fight Dong Zhuo's army until I come over!"

Xiahou Dun also nodded helplessly and took over the command of the army!

Then Cao Cao hurriedly found Zhang Miao and others!

"What a great news. Dong Zhuo's vanguard is his newly established Flying Bear Army. This is one of Dong Zhuo's two most elite armies. If we completely annihilate this Flying Bear Army, the Xiliang Army will be severely damaged!"

Zhang Miao asked strangely: "Are there many people in the Flying Bear Army? Will it actually seriously injure Dong Zhuo's vitality?"

Bao Xin said: "There are only 5,000 people, but this army is the only fully armored battalion of the Han Dynasty. The people in the army are Dong Zhuo's close Xiliang soldiers. If we can really annihilate them, Dong Zhuo will probably be in pain! It's just that

This army is extremely powerful and difficult to fight!"

Only Cao Cao, the commander here, has combat experience with him. He even led the cavalry to fight in Xiliang. Naturally, he knew that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers were powerful in battle. Now with this iron armor, the combat effectiveness of 5,000 soldiers is comparable to that of an army of 20,000 to 30,000.

But Zhang Miao and the others had never fought before, so naturally they didn't know the difference. They only heard that the Flying Bear Army was Dong Zhuo's confidant, and that fighting would make Dong Zhuo miserable. As for the Flying Bear Army's powerful combat power, what kind of iron armor did it have?

They don't understand the equipment. They only know a simple arithmetic problem. The Flying Bear Army only has 5,000 people, but they have an army of 50,000.

Even the art of war says that the enemy will be surrounded by 10 times the force, not to mention that the Flying Bear Army has no city to defend. If ten against one, the battle is safe!

So Zhang Miao smiled and said: "What else can I say? Since it can make Dong Zhuo miserable, we will wipe out the flying bear army and let Dong Zhuo see the power of our Kwantung Allied Forces!"

Bao Xin immediately stopped and said: "Although the Flying Bear Army only has 5,000 people, there must be Dong Zhuo's main force behind it. These are 35,000 Xiliang soldiers. If we are encircling and annihilating the Flying Bear Army, Dong Zhuo will lead his main force.

If we come in a surprise attack, if we are not careful, we will be beaten and return. I have been to Xiliang, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang soldiers is not comparable to that of the Central Plains soldiers!"

Cao Cao confidently said: "As long as we have troops that can penetrate directly into the rear of the Fei Xiong Army and cut off Dong Zhuo's support, it won't take long, just half a day is enough for us to completely annihilate the Fei Xiong Army!"

Zhang Miao and the others looked at each other. They were pure white-faced scholars who didn't know how to fight. If you asked them to go straight into enemy lines, they wouldn't have the guts to do such a thing!

Cao Cao naturally knew this. He pulled Bao Xin and said with a smile: "Yuncheng, only you can take on the important task of penetrating behind enemy lines. You must know that our Kwantung Allied Forces have never had any great achievements since they started their troops. If this time

Being able to annihilate the Fei Xiong Army will definitely boost the morale of the entire army, and even cheer up the hearts of the entire Han Dynasty, letting them know that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers are not invincible! At that time, more prefects and counties will join in the crusade against Dong Zhuo

Come into my face."

Cao Cao took Bao Xin's hand and said sincerely: "You have a heavy responsibility, which is related to whether we can defeat Dong Zhuo's army!"

Bao Xin was not tricked by Dong Zhuo in Xiliang. He knew that Dong Zhuo was an out-and-out warlord-style warrior. He persuaded Yuan Shao to attack and kill Dong Zhuo. He said to Yuan Shao: "Dong Zhuo now has a lot of troops and must have evil intentions. Why don't we

If we take advantage of the opportunity, we will definitely suffer losses in the future. If we attack him when he has just arrived in Kyoto and his soldiers are tired, we will be able to capture Dong Zhuo."

But the Yuan family wanted Dong Zhuo to make black gloves at that time, so it was naturally impossible to kill Dong Zhuo.

Bao Xin knew that Dong Zhuo would definitely become a disaster for the Han Dynasty. After Yuan Shao refused to listen, he led his troops back to his hometown. This time to challenge Dong Zhuo, he brought out 20,000 soldiers, 700 cavalry, and 5,000 vehicles carrying grain and grass supplies.

With multiple vehicles, it can be said that he is the most well-prepared prince!

Cao Cao said this. Bao Xin felt that he had a heavy responsibility, so he said: "I will lead 5,000 soldiers to stop Dong Zhuo's main force. I will leave this place to you, Meng De!"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Don't worry Yuncheng, I will definitely annihilate the Flying Bear Army to boost the morale of the coalition forces!"

After the two people discussed it, Bao Xin led 5,000 soldiers around behind Li Jue and headed towards Dong Zhuo's main force!

And Cao Cao led Zhang Miao and his army to quickly catch up with his own army!

Then the 45,000-strong army formed nine square formations in a mighty manner!

Li Jue also deployed his Flying Bear Army in an offensive formation.
