Cao Cao ordered people to take the scout to heal the wound. He frowned and thought.

Guo Jia said: "Although Liu Xian is cunning, he finally reveals his strength. If Liu Xian is really in trouble and is eager to retake Hulao Pass, how could he ambush the ambush on the necessary road to Hulao Pass?...

”

Xu You smiled and said, "You are probably over-concerned?"

Guo Jia said unhappily: "This ambush is obviously targeting our scouts. If Liu Xian's army is really in trouble and is attacking Hulao Pass, wouldn't such a deployment be an unnecessary move?"

Xu You couldn't speak.

Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Liu Xian's actions are naturally afraid that our army will discover the real situation under Hulao Pass. Although it is unbelievable, I am afraid that the real situation of Hulao Pass is completely opposite to our previous estimates.

It was not that Cao Hong and the others seized Hulao Pass, but that Cao Hong and the others were caught in the ambush of the enemy and had their entire army wiped out!"

Cao Cao was shocked and his face changed color.

Xu You showed a look of panic and said in disbelief: "This, this is impossible!"

Cao Cao shouted from Xu Chu: "Go and bring that Zeng Aniu to me!"

Xu Chu Yingnuo immediately ran away, and after a while, he brought Zeng Aniu to Cao Cao.

When Zeng Aniu saw Cao Cao, he immediately bowed his fists and said, "The villain is paying homage to the King of Wei! I wonder what orders did the King of Wei summon him?"

Cao Cao looked at Zeng Aniu and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zeng Aniu felt that Cao Cao's eyes were a little creepy and became uneasy.

Cao Cao suddenly shouted: "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be our officer to spread the military information?!"

Zeng Aniu was not wary of Cao Cao's sudden questioning, and was shocked. He looked up at Cao Cao, and his eyes flashed with a look of at a loss.

Then he clasped his fists and said, "Why did the King of Wei say that? A villain, a villain acted under the orders of General Cao Hong, how dare he spread the military information falsely?"

Cao Cao had already captured the at a loss in Zeng Aniu's eyes, and had already confirmed his guess, pointed at Zeng Aniu and shouted: "Take this spy down for me!"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Zeng Aniu immediately drew out his long sword and wanted to slaughter Cao Cao.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chu had already come behind him, grabbed his wrist with his right hand and pressed his neck with his left hand, which made him extremely moved.

Xu Chu shouted loudly, Zeng Aniu felt a terrible force like a mountain of pressure being pressed down, and he couldn't help but kneel down.

Cao Cao walked to Zeng Aniu with a gloomy face and shouted, "What kind of conspiracy does Liu Xian have?"

Zeng Aniu smiled and joked: "Cao Cao is Cao Cao, it's not easy! But although you have noticed it now, it's too late. I advise you to lead your army to surrender immediately, or your Majesty can still remember the love of the past.

Shangrao's life!"

Cao Cao was furious and drew his sword and stabbed Zeng Aniu's chest. Zeng Aniu groaned and fell into a pool of blood.

Cao Cao took back his sword and said in a deep voice: "The matter is clear! I will send an order immediately and the entire army will retreat immediately!"

At this moment, a tiger guard led a blood-covered officer in, clasped his fists and said, "King of Wei, Yang Wu urgently reported!"

Cao Cao and others were shocked and a bad premonition surged into their hearts.

The blood-covered officer clasped his fists in horror and said, "No, it's not good for King Wei! Yang Wu, Yang Wu has fallen!!"

When everyone heard this, they felt as if they had been bolt from the blue, and they were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.

Xu You came back to his senses, walked quickly to the officer, and shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, how could Liu Xianjun suddenly appear in Yangwu?

Besides, Yangwu has 30,000 defenders, how can there be a reason to lose it in a blink of an eye?”

The officer hurriedly said: "The enemy came from the east, carrying a large number of carriages that transported food and supplies. Our army thought it was our own people who were completely unprepared. Unexpectedly, as soon as the city gate opened, countless enemy troops jumped out of the carriage! ...

…”

Xu You said in a panic: "Yangwu was broken, and our army's retreat was cut off!"

He then clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "King of Wei, the situation is not good, our army should retreat to Zhongmu immediately!"

Yangwu is in the northeast of Xingyang, while Zhongmu is in the east of Xingyang. The distance between the two places is about the same. Now that Yangwu is captured by Liu Xian's army, retreating to Zhongmu has become the only choice for Cao's army.

However, when Cao Cao heard Xu You's words, he subconsciously felt something was wrong.

Guo Jia said anxiously: "What a person Liu Xian, you will definitely expect our army to retreat in Zhongmu. I am afraid that the enemy's elite troops have been ambushed on the way to Zhongmu at this moment!..."

Cao Cao nodded with emotion and said, "What Fengxiao said is extremely true! Liu Xian is extremely cunning in using his troops. It is only the first step to defeat my Yangwu. The real killer move is probably on the way to Zhongmu!"

He shouted: "Immediately send an order to lead Xiahou Yuan to lead an army to move eastward, and all the other officers and soldiers stopped and attacked Yangwu!"

As night fell, the originally quiet Cao's village suddenly became noisy, and Cao's troops drove out of the barracks and ran straight towards Zhongmu to the east.

Zhang Fei, who was at the head of Xingyang City, saw this scene from afar through the moonlight, laughed and said, "Cao Cao and the others were trapped! The whole army rushed to Zhongmu, that was a way to die!"

Between Xingyang and Zhongmu, there is a place called Xiangtianze, which is densely covered with swamps and puddles and dense forests. It is an excellent place to set up an ambush.

At this moment, Liu Xian and his 370,000 elite troops were lying here, waiting for Cao's army to take the bait.

Liu Xian stood at a high place, looking into the distance, and his face showed a look of thought.

Diao Chan, dressed in military uniform, quickly walked to Liu Xian, presented a book of flying pigeons, and said, "Husband, Uncle San has sent a report."

Liu Xian smiled and said, "I hope there is no accident." Then he took the letter and read it out. He laughed and said, "Cao Cao's army is retreating to Zhongmu. It's very good."

Diao Chan smiled and said, "Cao Cao is from the trap!"

Liu Xian said: "Although he was throwing himself into the trap, it was definitely a fierce battle!" He turned his head to Dian Wei and said: "Send the order and ask the troops to prepare for attack!"

Liu Xianjun troops were waiting quietly.

Unconsciously, the dim sky and earth became brighter, and the sunlight reflected ripples in the swamp puddles. The chirping of birds became noisy, and the originally sleeping earth seemed to have completely awakened.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and a fast horse was flying past the puddles and swamps, heading straight to Liu Xian, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the distance between the enemy is only

It's ten miles away!"

Soon after, people were seen surging in the distance. It was originally just a black line, but soon it rushed towards it like a tide. As the old saying goes, there were more than ten thousand people and overwhelming.
