Just as Cao Cao was about to leave, Jibei phase Bao Xin brought his men and hurried over. Tears streamed down Cao Cao's face as he pulled on Bao Xin's hand, wishing he could kiss it a few times. Actually, Bao Xin was a person with good eyesight. He was the same as Wei Zi and felt that Cao Cao was a good person.
”The Duke of Guandong is a group of sour dates, but you are the only one who is truly knowledgeable, capable of calming down the chaos. If it wasn't for this kind of talent, even though he was powerful, he would have definitely failed. You must be sent by the heavens, the big man will depend on you! ”
”Reporting...” Lord General came from nowhere, and went against the Yellow River, but right now, he is almost at aqua bioremedians, and wants to ambush Cheng Gao. ” That night, Xu Rong was in the camp accompanying the Zhang Banxian as he counted through the imperial library when he suddenly received a report from the exorcism.
”Oh …” How many people were there in the Guandong Allied Army? ”Who is the leader of the troops?” Xu Rong could not help but be shocked, and immediately asked in detail. Guandong Allied Army had been together for a few months, Xu Rong had been paying attention to their movements and it seemed that they could no longer sit still.
”Reporting to the Lord General, there is only one ten thousand people. The leader is Cao Cao.” exorcism took a breath and replied quickly.
”Cao Cao?” Zhang Banxian raised her head, her face revealing a trace of pleasant surprise. Back then, when the Nanyang did not get rid of Cao Cao, the Zhang Banxian had always kept it in her heart. Because of Yang Lin's reminder, Zhang Banxian had been paying attention to Cao Cao for all these years.
”What is it? ”You know him?” Seeing Zhang Banxian's expression, Xu Rong hurriedly turned his head and looked at him.
”Haha …” The Zhang Banxian laughed and waved at the exorcism. Only after the exorcism left did he finally speak to Xu Rong: ”We were once at Nanyang to pacify Zhang Mancheng. This guy is quite troublesome, so you should be careful.”
”He only brought a ten thousand people and dares to sneak attack Cheng Hao. He's underestimating me too much!” The corner of Xu Rong's mouth revealed a sneer, and said coldly: ”Regardless of whether he is using a dangerous tactic or looking down on others, I want him to remember, that I, Xu Rong am not someone to be trifled with!”
”Lord General must not be impulsive, this is the first battle between West Cold Army and yourself, if you win, you will definitely receive a huge prize from Dong Zhuo, but if you lose, I am afraid you will never have the chance to lead your troops.” Zhang Banxian did not want anything to happen to Xu Rong, so she quickly reminded Xu Rong.
”Hehe …” Do you think I'm an emotional person? ” Xu Rong laughed and said confidently: ”Ever since I guarded the Ying Yang, I have carefully checked the terrain. If Guandong Allied Army wanted to enter the west side, he had to enter the aqua bioremedians. Thus, I have already set up an inescapable trap in the vicinity of aqua bioremedians. This time, I will make sure that Cao Cao won't be able to return. ”
Xu Rong immediately called over the herald, bringing all the generals to his Big Account. Leaving behind one general to lead ten thousand people to defend the Ying Yang camp, he ordered four generals to lead forty thousand men to surround the aqua bioremedians, in hopes of annihilating Cao Cao in one fell swoop.
”Generals, Cao Cao is a wanted criminal in the Prime Minister, if anyone of you were to cut his head, it would definitely be a great merit, the Prime Minister will definitely reward you heavily.” Just as the high-ranking officer was about to leave, Zhang Banxian stood up and said to everyone.
Generals looked at each other and couldn't help but to reveal a happy expression. When Cao Cao had escaped the Luoyang, his wanted posters were all over the entire country, of course these Generals knew about it. Now that they were going to fight with Cao Cao, they had the chance to cut off Cao Cao's head.
Amongst the gathered sour dates in the Guandong Allied Army, the only ones who had fought before were Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei. As for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they had only fought with the xanthopanax before, and with the tens of thousands of government officials, they brought down hundreds of thousands of xanthopanax.
With Cao Cao's intelligence, he shouldn't be using his five thousand soldiers to attack Xu Rong's fifty thousand soldiers. After all, Dong Zhuo's group was not the xanthopanax, but rather the battle-hardened West Cold Army and the imperial army that had annihilated the xanthopanax with fewer victories. As for the soldiers under Xu Rong's command, they were basically the integrated northern troop, or the West Garden Army.
But the truth was right, Cao Cao volunteered himself and led five thousand of his soldiers to lead the charge, allowing Wei Zi and his five thousand men to support him, while Bao Xin led his five thousand men to support him from behind.
Cao Cao was originally a general of the West Garden Army, so he should be very familiar with the combat abilities of the northern troop and the West Garden Army. From the arrangement of his troops, it could be seen that he was not prepared to fight a big battle with Xu Rong. Instead, he was prepared to sneak in an ambush on Xu Rong at night. Once he succeeded in his sneak attack and took over Cheng Hao, the armies of the dukes gathered in the Jujube would lead their troops to come and form an alliance with the Luoyang.
Although Cao Cao's army was small, he was still split into three, preparing for a sneak attack and a quick retreat. Once he missed, Wei Zi would be able to block him from the back, and Bao Xin would also be able to reinforce him from the back.
Along the way, Cao Cao was extremely careful, and tried his best not to expose his goal. Especially after entering Henan Province, the team had entered the mountainous region. He had made the team raise the flag, leave behind the baggage, and give up the main road so that the team could march in the dark and raid Chenggao City.
After a night of marching, when the sky was about to brighten, Cao Cao's group finally arrived at the aqua bioremedians's side. He was already very close to Cheng Hao, and Cao Cao's heart was beating even faster. But as he looked at the mountain ridge that undulated up and down, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown.
”Kill …”
