    "Brother, brother"

    Liu Xin ran back and told Liu Zhe the news she got from Yuan Yao.  This news was so strange that Liu Xin felt that Cao Cao must be planning some big conspiracy.

    Liu Zhe was not too surprised after hearing this.

    Liu Xin was surprised. She asked curiously: "Brother, are you not surprised at all?"

    "Xiao Xin, my lord has already known about this." Guo Jia explained from the side that Liu Zhe had already received the news less than an hour after leaving Xu Du.

    "What does Cao Cao want to do?" Liu Xin was curious.

    Guo Jia made the point and said: "Cao Cao should be preparing to deal with Zhang Xiu of Wancheng. Zhang Xiu of Nanyang, Liu Bei of Yuzhou, Gongsun Zan of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu of Shouchun, and us. Cao Cao is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so he moved the capital to Xuchang to avoid us.  , and Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are powerful in alliance, Yuan Shu is the fourth generation and the third prince, and has a deep foundation. Compared with them, only Zhang Xiu of Nanyang is the weakest, so it is inevitable for Cao Cao to attack him. "

    "The emperor's ceremony for enthroning the emperor has just passed. This is a good opportunity for Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu did not expect that Cao Cao would attack just after the ceremony."

    When Liu Xin heard this, her eyes kept rolling, obviously thinking about something. She asked: "Cao Cao or Zhang Xiu, who will win?"

    "Of course it's Cao Cao."

    Guo Jia's tone was affirmative and he said: "Cao Cao was originally stronger than Zhang Xiu, but now he is attacking in secret. Zhang Xiu is no match for him."

    Guo Jia smiled and continued: "It seems that Cao Cao was greatly stimulated by the lord this time."

    Cao Cao was so eager to attack Zhang Xiu that he was actually stimulated by the large army Liu Zhe brought to Xudu this time.

    Liu Zhe came to Xudu in a swagger, and then left in a swagger. During this period, Cao Cao could not offend Liu Zhe, and tried to avoid conflicts with Liu Zhe, which greatly stimulated Cao Cao.

    "Can you cause some trouble for Cao Cao?" Liu Xin was concerned about this, and she fervently hoped to cause some trouble for Cao Cao.

    "too late."

    Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Cao Cao concealed it very well and hid it from everyone. Even if he goes to report the news to Zhang Xiu now, it is too late."

    "Ah? That's it! That's such a pity." Liu Xin said with deep regret in her tone.

    Liu Zhe smiled and said: "Let's go. It's useless even to tip Zhang Xiu. Cao Cao is not a simple person. Let them fight. Anyway, no matter how they jump around, when they think they have become strong  When the time comes, I will let them know what true despair is.¡±

    When Liu Zhe said this, a surge of momentum rose to the sky. Not only Guo Jia, but also Zhang Fei who was not far away felt it and looked at Liu Zhe with a look of enthusiasm.

    Liu Zhe led his troops towards Baimajin. When Liu Zhe arrived at Baimajin, the battle between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu also reached his ears.

    ?¡­

    In October of the first year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian Liu Xie made his daughter Fu Shou his queen and granted a general amnesty to the world.  The success of the ceremony demonstrated the majesty of the imperial court and diluted the previous events in Xudu. People all over the world couldn't help but have more expectations for him. Many people even hoped that he could revive the Han Dynasty.

    However, the actions of Cao Cao, the cavalry general, let people know that Liu Xie still had a long way to go before he wanted to revive the Han Dynasty.

    Five days after the grand ceremony, Cao Cao launched an army to attack Zhang Xiu, the prefect of Nanyang, for disrespecting the imperial court.

    Cao Cao took Zhechong Xiaowei Xiahou Dun as the vanguard, raised 100,000 troops, and entered Nanyang County. Cao Cao's army was overwhelming.  Luyang County, Zhixian County, and other county towns were captured, and the troops went straight to Nanyang Government Office and Wancheng.

    Zhang Xiu led his army into battle and fought with Xiahou Dun at Bowangpo. The fierceness of the Xiliang cavalry made Xiahou Dun suffer a great deal.

    Zhang Xiu's general Hu Che'er took the opportunity to lead the Xiliang cavalry to charge into the battle. Xiahou Dun's troops were mostly infantry and could not withstand the charge of the Xiliang cavalry, so they all retreated in defeat.

    Xiahou Dun had no choice but to retreat with his troops. Of the 10,000 forwards, less than one-third retreated.

    Zhang Xiu defeated the vanguard of Cao Cao's army, and his morale was high. He pursued the victory and recaptured Zhi County that night.  However, they fell into Cao Cao's plan and were attacked by Cao's army in the middle of the night. Zhang Xiu had 50,000 men and only less than 30,000 Xiliang cavalry escaped.

    Zhang Xiu regrouped and planned to return for revenge. However, he was ambushed by Cao Cao again and was attacked head-on.  This time, Cao Cao sent his cavalry troops.  Ten thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, led by Cao Xiu, who was called the "Thousand Mile Horse" by Cao Cao, attacked Zhang Xiu's army on the way and divided Zhang Xiu's army into two parts.

    ?Cao's army attacked Zhang Xiu's front army from front to back and defeated Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu fled back to Wancheng in embarrassment with a few soldiers and horses.

    In the battle of Bowangpo, most of the capital Zhang Xiu brought from Yongzhou was consumed, and Wancheng's troops were not enough to defend Cao Cao's 100,000 army.  When Cao Cao led his army to the city, Zhang Xiu left the city and surrendered.

    In less than a month, Cao Cao captured Nanyang. The speed surprised many people.

    Liu Zhe was not as surprised as others when he received the news that Cao Cao had captured Nanyang. After all, it was Cao Cao, not an ordinary person. It would be strange if he couldn't defeat Zhang Xiu.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
