    Liu Ke agreed to the battle, so he naturally had to inform Cao Cao, who was his ally.

    "Marquis Dongyang, I'm afraid this battle is a fraud." Cao Cao said.

    In the middle of the night, Cao Cao knew that the Yangzhou army had been mobilized, but he didn't know what they were going to do.

    But he did not come directly to ask, but waited patiently until daytime, when Liu Ke's envoy happened to inform him about the battle.

    "I know, so I have to rely on your strength, Brother Meng Dexian." Liu Kedao.

    Cao Cao was shocked. Marquis Dongyang was so cautious, so he must have made a big move.

    "Please ask Dongyang Marquis to give the order directly!"

    "Let me state in advance that if the battle is successful, Dong Zhuo will retreat, which is also a good thing for you." Liu Kedao.

    "Even if Marquis Dongyang doesn't remind me, I will try my best." Cao Cao said.

    Liu Ke gave simple instructions and arranged for Cao Cao to take care of him.

    For Cao Cao, isn¡¯t it just a matter of soy sauce?  He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

    At the same time, I was curious, what confidence did Marquis Dongyang have that he could force Dong Zhuo to retreat with 20,000 men?

    But Liu Ke didn¡¯t want to say more.

    After returning to the army, Cao Cao told the story, hoping to brainstorm what Dongyang Hou was doing.

    Among them, Xi Zhicai, the most important counselor of Cao Cao's army, fell into deep thought and did not speak. Instead, Yu Jin stood up and said:

    "Could it be that the Marquis of Dongyang made an appointment with Dong Zhuo to fight in person?"

    "How is it possible? Dong Zhuo is so fat that he can't even ride a horse." Cao Hong said.

    What you say makes so much sense!

    Dong Zhuo will definitely not go to war. At most, he will send his men to deal with it.

    "So, this battle must be a conspiracy." Xia Houyuan said firmly, "Five thousand versus five thousand, could it be that Dong Zhuo is stupid?"

    ¡°If they say that they lost at the hands of a fool, they will not admit it even to death.

    "Dong Zhuo must have an ambush. Do you want to warn Marquis Dongyang?" Xia Houyuan continued.

    Cao Cao also agreed with Xia Houyuan's view that he was indeed the handsome man he valued.

    "It's a pity that Dongyang Hou didn't tell the whole plan, and Cao Cao couldn't intervene casually.

    "My lord, what are the requirements of Marquis Dongyang?" Xi Zhicai said suddenly.

    "It's just to let us respond to him." Cao Cao explained in detail again.

    "In this way, Dongyang Hou knows that he will lose in a battle, so the certainty of victory lies in the tens of thousands of troops mobilized last night." Xi Zhicai analyzed.

    Xia Houyuan then realized that Dongyang Hou did not need to be reminded.

    Cao Cao ordered the soldiers on guard to repeat the story again, clearly indicating that the Yangzhou army went to the river.

    "Could it be that Marquis Dongyang wants to attack Chang'an?" Xi Zhicai came up with the closest guess.

    Chang'an is Dong Zhuo's final foundation, and it is impossible to give up just like that.

    He has already been a lost dog once and will never do it a second time.

    But what puzzled Cao Cao was, how could the Marquis of Dongyang guarantee that he could capture Chang'an with 10,000 people?

    It can only be described as wishful thinking.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "I'm afraid that's the case. Marquis Dongyang said that if the battle is successful, Dong Zhuo will retreat." Cao Cao sighed.

    Such a combat concept is something he cannot learn.  Only elites like Yangzhou can barely do it.

    "What should our army do?" Cao Cao asked again, mainly looking for Zhicai's opinion.

    But Xi Zhicai was a bachelor and said: "Just do what the Marquis of Dongyang said. The loss is not ours anyway, so we can do whatever he wants."

    After Xi Zhicai¡¯s reminder, Cao Cao quickly understood that as long as Hulao Pass was defended, he would be fine.

    There is one thing that I can't hold on to Dongyang Hou. After all, people came to help him guard the city. Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately found that Xia Houyuan was ordered to lead the army and prepare to take over Liu Ke at any time.

    Liu Ke quickly gathered five thousand troops and set off towards the agreed place.

    He has asked his scouts to explore the terrain clearly. There are only two places where he can ambush, one is the small forest to the west and the other is on the back of the mountain.

    Liu Ke calculated the number of Dong Zhuo's troops. To surround him with 5,000 men and horses, it would be 20,000 or 30,000. The small forest would definitely not be able to hide them, so the mountain back was the most likely possibility.

    "Han Sheng, please take someone to see it quietly." Liu Kedao.

    "The last general takes command!" Huang ??We set off with a dozen riders.

    Determine the number of enemies and the direction of the ambush, and you will have an idea in your mind.

    Liu Ke ordered the soldiers to form formation while waiting for Dong Zhuo's army.

    Half an hour later, Huang Zhong came back with a very ugly face, and whispered a few words in Liu Ke's ear.

    Good fellow, is Dong Zhuo crazy?

    There were actually 100,000 men ambushed!

    You really treat Liu Ke like a blind man!

    "Lord, our army is too dangerous, so we should retreat." Huang Zhong suggested.

    A hundred thousand flying bear troops can scare people to death.

    Liu Ke, however, was uncharacteristic and said firmly: "The enemy's army is concentrated here, and they will not notice Zilong, so we should try our best to buy time. Don't worry, I will ask Meng De to meet us."

    Huang Zhong didn't know whether he was moved or angry for a moment. For Zhao Yun, the lord was taking too many risks.

    Since the persuasion was ineffective, he had no choice but to ensure a retreat and told Cao Cao the news behind him.

    Cao Cao was also shocked. Originally, he thought this was a response, not a decisive battle, so he only sent 20,000 troops. After all, Hulao Pass still had to be defended.

    But, Dong Zhuo ambushed one hundred thousand troops!  Twenty thousand people are not enough to fight.

    For this reason, Cao Cao made a plan and first persuaded Liu Ke to withdraw his troops, but he refused, so he had to continue to mobilize troops from Hulao Pass.

    "My lord, why are we so active and let Marquis Dongyang" Before Yu Jin could say the following words, he was interrupted by Cao Cao.

    "With the martial arts of Marquis Dongyang, it is not difficult to break out of the siege. He just wants to protect everyone. Moreover, although I, Cao Mengde, am not a good person, I still have to have basic credibility, right?" Cao Cao said.

    Seeing this, Yu Jin couldn¡¯t say anything else.

    The two lords are so willful, but their subordinates suffer a lot.

    Cao Cao immediately increased his troops by 60,000, bringing the total to 80,000. He ordered all the generals to hide and wait for Marquis Dongyang to attract Dong Zhuo's army, and maybe he could inflict heavy losses on them!

    Now, there are only 20,000 troops left in Hulao Pass, and Cao Cao has brought reinforcements from all over Yanzhou.

    After another half an hour, Niu Fu appeared with five thousand soldiers and horses.

    This time he was the general who went into battle. He had lost once before, so he was not timid at all, but was ready to take action.

    Nonsense, with a hundred thousand people as his backing, what reason does he have to be afraid.

    Now is the best opportunity to atone for your sins.

    "As long as we can hold back Dongyang Hou, it will be a great achievement!"

    Niu Fu calculated that it would take about two-quarters of an hour for the Flying Bear Army to dispatch and reach the battlefield.

    So, he just needs to persist.

    To this end, he asked his men to wear thick heavy armor and carry large shields.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? are all there.

    Under heavy protection, Niu Fu moved forward step by step, with victory and achievements waving to him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
