    Cao Ang stood on the city wall of Zhiguan, looking into the distance with a solemn expression.  Except for Liao Hua, who went to Hedong County, almost all middle-level officers and above stood beside him, waiting for Cao Ang's decision.

    This morning, Cao Ang received a message from Li Dian on horseback, saying: Zhi County was successfully attacked by Hu Zhen's troops last night. Although Li Dian happened to rescue Wang Kuang, most of the officers in Zhi County were killed or captured.  There is no longer any organized resistance.  Now Hu Zhen has gathered his troops and is besieging Li Dian's headquarters.

    Originally, Cao Ang was preparing to send troops to rescue immediately, but coincidentally, Liao Hua also sent someone to convey the news: He had sent someone to escort the first batch of war horses to set off, and was about to arrive at Zhiguan, accompanied by an envoy from the Baibo Army.  Liao Hua suggested that Cao Ang show the most orderly and powerful side of the army to intimidate the top brass of the Baibo Army.  After all, the White Wave Army is predatory. If they cannot be effectively deterred, the next time the White Wave Army sends out a caravan, it will not be a caravan, but a large-scale army!

    Seeing that Cao Ang was still pondering, Li Qian took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "General, the transaction with the Baibo Army is related to the future development of our army and the construction of the cavalry team. It cannot be delayed. Although my nephew Li Dian was  In the trapped camp, there are relatively strong fortifications to rely on, so there is no danger in the short term. I hope the general will put the overall situation first! If it is convenient, the general is willing to lead 500 people eastward and guerrilla to harass Hu Zhen's troops so that they cannot  Concentrate on attacking!¡±

    Before Cao Ang spoke, Le Jin shook his head repeatedly and said loudly: "What General Li said is inappropriate! The baggage camp occupied by Li Dian contains our army's supply of food, grass and baggage for this month. If it is ignored, not only will the food in the camp be easily destroyed.  The shortage will also greatly hurt the morale of the soldiers. Besides, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, is also trapped in the camp. If we don't go to the rescue, it will be easy for others to gossip about us! The last general is willing to be the vanguard and tear apart the enemy's army.  Defense line, coordinate with Li Dian and Wang Taishou to send food, grass and baggage to break through!"

    Xiahou Dun took a step forward and shook his head: "If we just support the troops to break out, Wen Qian's proposal is very good, but if we escort the grain and grass supplies, it will become more difficult. The general requested to lead more than a thousand people to stay and defend the city, and still  Please, my lord, lead the main force to march eastward. Anyway, the White Wave Army is just a few envoys. I will be more alert and be careful in my promise. I will never let them see our true identity, and we will definitely leave a deep impression on them!"

    Next, Wei Zi and Cao Hong also expressed their hope that Cao Ang would lead his army eastward and rescue Li Dian's troops in time.

    When everyone finished expressing their opinions, Cao Ang sighed and said to everyone: "Everyone has said a lot just now, but in my opinion, everyone has neglected a little bit!"

    Hearing what Cao Ang said, everyone paid attention, and Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "What everyone just said is only two things, one is to rescue Li Dian and Wang Kuang, and the other is to welcome the envoy of the Baibo Army, but  In my opinion, there is one more thing, and that is to rescue Han Hao and Fang Yue!

    Hu Zhen was willing to take a dangerous risk and led his troops to quietly cross the Yellow River defense line and attack Zhi County in order to destroy Wang Kuang's command structure and prevent him from effectively commanding Han Hao and Fang Yue's armies!  And without the support of grain and grass from Zhi County, and the dispatch of Zhi County, if Hu Zhen sends people to spread false news again, saying that the grain and grass were burned and Hu Zhen was killed on the spot, then some soldiers will definitely believe it, and their morale will plummet!  However, in the face of the enemy's attacks from both front and back, although Han Hao and Fang Yue were outstanding in ability, they were unable to save themselves!

    Once the defense line along the river is destroyed, the enemy can easily cross the river and sweep into Hanoi.  At that time, the flanks of our Kanto thieves-seeking Allied forces will be defeated in one fell swoop. The Allied forces will have no choice but to retreat continuously, and will never be able to overthrow Dong Zhuo's tyranny!  Therefore, the key now is the defense line along the river!  "

    After hearing what Cao Ang said, everyone finally understood and couldn't help but look at Cao Ang with admiration.  No wonder he is able to serve as General Fenwei at such a young age. His horizons are really broad. This is to think about issues from an overall perspective!

    Cao Ang felt a little embarrassed when everyone looked at him with admiration.  He also suddenly remembered that in history, Wang Kuang's troops were ambushed by Dong Zhuo, and the entire army was defeated. However, the allies did not know whether they were affected by this, and hid in the Jujube area and did not dare to move forward. In the end, they asked Dong Daye to retreat because the princes had run out of food.  Let it go.

    Cao Ang coughed slightly and said loudly: "Generals, listen to the order!"

    Everyone quickly ran to him and stood in order.

    Then I heard Cao Ang say loudly: "General Xia Houyuan, I will give you two thousand men, and you will sit at Zhiguan to intimidate the Baibo army!"

    Xia Houyuan performed a military salute and said in a deep voice: "The last general takes orders!"

    Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "This is our first transaction with the Baibo Army. For this reason, Liao Hua is still running around in the hinterland of the Baibo Army. On the one hand, he is expanding the scale of the transaction. On the other hand, he may not be here to act as a hostage! General Xiahou,  Liao Hua's life is in your hands, and our Cao Jun's dream of cavalry is in your hands!"??

    Cao Ang nodded and said loudly: "General Cao Hong, you and Liao Hua have been busy with the matter of exchanging grain and grass for war horses during this period, and are relatively familiar with this business. I entrust the military aspect to General Xiahou. I am very relieved. This  I¡¯ll leave the business matters to you!¡±

    Cao Hong put on his armor and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, the end is coming. We will definitely make a lot of money from this transaction!"

    Cao Ang shook his head slightly and lowered his voice and said: "No, this is our first transaction with Bai Bojun. We will try our best to make the price fair and satisfactory to both parties. With our break with Dong Zhuo, it will be difficult to obtain goods from regular channels."  Xiliang War Horse, this will be our most reliable path in the future. I hope you can maximize our interests, and I also hope you can establish and maintain this trade channel to achieve a win-win situation for both parties so that it can continue in the long term!  "

    Cao Hong said in a deep voice: "The general will do his best after receiving the order. Please rest assured, my lord!"

    Cao Ang nodded and said to Wei Zi: "General Wei Zi, I heard that you have had several encounters with Han Hao and Fang Yue, and the relationship is acceptable. I will hand over all the cavalry in my general to you. I hope you will immediately  Lead them to set off and rush to Han Hao and Fang Yue's army to stabilize the morale of the army. It is estimated that Hu Zhen has sent people to intercept and kill the messengers. You must be careful and pass the news that Wang Kuang is still there to the enemy before they take action.  ! Whether we can successfully counterattack and kill Hu Zhen on the north bank of the Yellow River depends entirely on you!"

    Wei Zi didn¡¯t expect that Cao Ang would entrust him with such an important task, and he was very excited!  He half-knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Lord, don't worry, even if I have half a breath left, I will definitely deliver this letter. I will go!"

    Having said this, Wei Zi saluted Cao Ang again, got up and went to the city, and soon led the cavalry out of the city.

    Cao Ang then said to Li Qian: "General Li Qian, I will give you five hundred light infantry. You go to Zhi County to harass the enemy troops, and try to get in touch with Li Dian's camp, so that he can calm down and wait for the rescue of the army!  Li Dian is your nephew, I understand how you feel, but you must remain useful and not act rashly!"

    Li Qian bowed and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, the general will take your orders!"

    At this time, only Le Jin was left among the generals present and had not yet been assigned a task. He looked at Cao Ang with umbilical cord.

    Cao Ang ignored him at this time, but said loudly to everyone: "Our army has more than 7,000 soldiers, leaving General Xiahou with 2,000. Generals Li Qian and Li Dian each lead 500, and there are still 4,000 left."  . With the support of General Li Qian, I believe that Li Dian will definitely be able to hold on to this camp until the main force of our army arrives. So before that, we will join forces with Han Hao and Fang Yue to destroy Hu Zhen's follow-up troops, and then capture  Hu Zhen¡¯s dog head! It¡¯s a pity that Liao Hua is not here, our army lacks a strong general to charge into the battle!"

    Le Jin couldn't stand being so provoked by Cao Ang. He strode forward and said loudly: "The general is here to take orders! Wherever the master's blade points, the general will rush to where he is!"

    Cao Ang heard this and said loudly: "I have Wen Qian to help me, and I am even more powerful! Le Jin obeys the order, I will give you two thousand troops, and order you to attack Mengjin. Within three days, we must successfully join forces with Han Hao! I will lead it myself  Two thousand men and horses are following behind. If you can't break through the enemy's blocking line, then I will personally go into battle and charge!"

    Being provoked and praised by Cao Ang, Le Jin's face flushed red, and he heard him say in a deep voice: "Lord, within two days, I will definitely be able to open up the path with Han Hao and successfully join forces with them!"

    ¡­¡­

    One day later, Li Su led two thousand people and personally blocked Han Hao's retreat.  While urging the soldiers to build fortifications, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, there is good news from Zhe County. The Chief Protector personally led the raid and wiped out all the Zhe County defenders in one fell swoop. Even Wang Kuang fell into the trap of our army.  Surrounded, he will be captured soon!

    ¡°Last night, I selected more than a hundred soldiers to put on civilian clothes and go to Han Hao¡¯s army to spread the news. I believe they are all panicked now and will flee in confusion soon!

    I hope that everyone will be serious about repairing the fortifications this time, and not be like yesterday when dozens of cavalry rushed through the camp!  As long as we block Han Hao this time and attack together with the original troops, we can wipe out Han Hao's troops in one fell swoop!  When the time comes, it will be reported to the court and everyone¡¯s contribution will never be buried!  "

    Li Su shouted loudly, and the soldiers echoed loudly, very energetic.  At this time, the scouts sent by Li Su came to report: "General, a large army is rushing towards us from the north!"

    "What? This is impossible?!" Li Su shouted in surprise: "The Protector himselfTo contain the enemy, how could they see through our strategy? This is impossible!  "

    After screaming a few times, Li Su calmed down. Thinking about the information he had obtained before the war, he knew that he had overlooked one person this time, and that was Cao Ang!  However, by the time Cao Ang rushed over, I believed that Han Hao's troops had been defeated. Cao Ang was too late!

    Thinking of this, Li Su shouted loudly: "What are you still doing? Gather your formation immediately and face the north to prepare to meet the enemy!"
