Dongjun, Puyang County.

Today's Zhang Xiu has won Puyang County. After Zhang Xiu destroyed XiahouDun, she went straight to Baima County, but after Zhang Xiu conquered Baima County, she took a rest and left Baima County as soon as possible to go to Puyang County.

Baima county is Xiaxian county. It is a small county. The city is low and the wall is not strong. Such a place, even if occupied, is unstable, so the official structure of Baima county was adjusted, and Zhang Xiu went directly to Puyang County.

Puyang County is a big county.

The city is strong, the wall is tall, and there is a moat around it, which is easy to guard.

Originally, XiahouDun was stationed in Puyang County, but after XiahouDun was killed, when Zhang Xiu's army arrived, the magistrate of Puyang County directly surrendered and Zhang Xiu occupied Puyang County.

Just after Zhang Xiu captured Puyang County, she got the news that Cao Cao was going north. Immediately, Zhang Xiu called Li Ru, Zhang Song and Gan Ning to discuss the next war situation.

If Cao Cao's forces were only 20000 or 30000, Zhang Xiu could fight head-on.

But the news came that Cao Cao had 80000 people. With such a powerful force, Zhang Xiu's fierce tiger army was only 20000 or 30000, not Cao Cao's opponent.

Although Zhang Xiu is confident, she is not conceited.

He knows his limits.

Zhang Xiu looked at Li Ru, Zhang Song and Gan Ning, quickly told them the intelligence, and said, "now Cao Cao is coming with a big army and moving the main battlefield to Dongjun. What's your opinion on this?"

Li Ru said: "Your Highness, Cao Cao took the army north to Dongjun, thinking that we would be destroyed. It is suggested that Puyang County should be defended. After all, Puyang County has a strong city wall and a moat. "

"This fortification is enough to guard."

"Especially after we entered Baima County, we carried the grain and grass of Baima county to Puyang County. Now the military supplies in Puyang County are enough for us to use for at least half a year. "

"The equipment in the city is also quite sufficient. At least the large-scale fighting will last for two or three months."

Li Ru said: "under this premise, we can't stick to it. That's the best way. After all, the breakthrough in this war is not in Dongjun, but in Huangzhong of Jiangxia. "

Li Ru is quite clear about the current situation.

Zhang Xiu nodded, looked at Zhang Song and said, "Zhang song, what do you think?"

Zhang song also had an idea in his mind, so he said: "Your Highness, I think sticking to Puyang County is easy to get into danger. Therefore, I believe that we should not garrison all our troops in Puyang County. "

"We are surrounded, once in crisis, the consequences will be immeasurable."

"It's not appropriate to have the rest of the army."

Zhang Song said: "I suggest that we take the way of wandering and fighting. Cao Cao is going to Puyang County. Let's go to Baima county. Cao Cao went to Baima County, we went back to Puyang County, even to other places. In a word, we will not confront Cao Cao head-on. "

"Not right!"

Li Ru refuted directly.

Zhang Song said, "what's wrong?"

Li Ru explained: "our battle in Dongjun, or the battle field in Nanyang County, has one function, which is to attract Cao Cao's attention and make Cao Cao think that we only have these two battlefields."

"But once we keep avoiding, Cao Cao may suspect that his Highness has other means to break the situation. If Cao Cao takes precautions in Yuzhou, Huang Zhong's surprise troops will lose their effectiveness, and this battle will be difficult. "

"Puyang County is a big county with a strong city."

"The county government in the city has been controlled, and the soldiers in our army have not committed any crimes."

"There is no one against your highness."

"As long as we guard carefully, we are in Puyang County, and have considerable ability to hold down Cao Cao's army. As long as all Cao Cao's troops gather here, it will be easier for Huang Zhong to send troops to the north in Jiangxia county. "

Li Ru solemnly said: "Your Highness is really not at ease. You can send an order to Chen Dao of Hanoi county to dispatch some elite of Langya camp to the border of Dongjun county to meet us at any time. If his highness is still not at ease, he can send another order to Xu Shangshu to enlist Zhao Yun's baimayi and Heishan army to the border of Dongjun. In this way, Puyang County is bound to be safe. Even if we want to leave Puyang County, we have enough strength to take over. "

After hearing this, Zhang Song smoked from the corner of his mouth.

I've been hurt again!

He was speechless again.

In the face of the eloquent Li Ru, he has no way to find a foothold in the argument.

Zhang Xiu glanced at Zhang song. Seeing that Zhang song was no longer talking, she said with a straight face: "what Li Ru said is really reasonable. Now in Puyang County, we need troops, grain, weapons and weapons to defend the first World War. "

"However, food and equipment must be well protected. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"The soldiers on guard must be our men."

"Nothing can go wrong."

Zhang Xiu continued: "in addition, he will send an order to Chen Dao to monitor Yuan Shao carefully. If Yuan Shao did not dare to send troops to the south, and did not dare to send any more troops, he would dispatch some of the elite of Langya camp to the border of Dongjun. Finally, Zhao Yun's Bai Ma Yi was transferred from the Heishan army to the border of Dongjun. All these troops are hiding, waiting for the final decisive battle. ""Here it is

Li Ru immediately responded.

He is even more confident in this battle.

In this war, there was mental calculation, but not mental calculation. They took the initiative, which must be more profound than Cao Cao's calculation.

Gan Ning stood up and said: "Your Highness, Cao Cao's 80000 troops are coming. He will go to arrange the defense. We have to be more careful in this battle. "

"Go

Zhang Xiu waved her hand.

Li Ru and Zhang song also turned back.

As time goes by, four days later, Zhang Xiu gets news from the royal guards that Cao Cao's army has entered Puyang County and is approaching Puyang County.

Zhang Xiu came out of the room at the end of the city and stood on the top of the city waiting.

About half an hour later, standing on the tower, I could feel the sound of horse's hooves coming from the distance. Countless horses trampled on the ground, making the ground vibrate slightly.

Cao Cao's army, here it is!

Standing at the head of the city, Zhang Xiu saw smoke rising in the distance, and the mighty cavalry of the state of Wei galloped to the city of Puyang County. Soon afterwards, the cavalry mounted their horses, and the array showed its ferocious momentum.

Behind the cavalry, there was the mighty infantry.

A big flag flutters in the wind.

One by one, the officers and soldiers were in the spirit of extermination.

Cao Cao put on his helmet and drove his horse to the front. When his troops were arrayed outside the city, Cao Cao looked up at the tower of Puyang County and said, "where is Zhang Xiu, my king Cao Cao?"

Zhang Xiu said, "Oh, my father-in-law came in person. I thought that my small force was not worth the great army of Wei. Unexpectedly, father-in-law personally led the killing. I'm flattered by your lineup

Cao Cao's eyes and eyebrows were sharp, and his temples were more frosty.

Looking at Zhang Xiu, it's all about killing.

Zhang Xiu killed his brother Xia Houdun, and even Cao Hong died in Huang Zhong's hands. He and Zhang Xiu have a bitter hatred.

As soon as Cao Cao brushed his sleeve, he said in a cold voice: "Zhang Xiu, Puyang County is the jurisdiction of the state of Wei. You are stationed in Puyang County. You want to be reincarnated. It's easy for you to come, but it's not so easy to leave. You used to be very wise and cunning. Today, you are self righteous and think that Puyang County can keep it. That's suicidal. "

Zhang Xiu said: "father-in-law, everyone can boast. If you beat me, you don't know how many times. But every time, you lose. Since my father-in-law and I fought, we have never won. Where did you get confidence in this battle? "

Cao Cao's face turned black.

To be honest, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu fought countless times, but they did not win once.
