    Cao Cao has never been an indecisive person. The suggestions put forward by Man Chong and Mao Jie do seem crazy together, but they are the best way they can find now.

    After Cao Cao thought carefully, he indeed found that he had no way out. Tongguan was in Liu Zhe's hands and Cao Ren was isolated in Yongzhou. He had to recapture Tongguan no matter what.

    As for how to recapture Tongguan, the only way Cao Cao could think of was to attack Tongguan by force. As for negotiation, based on his understanding of Liu Zhe, the price paid would definitely be about the same as the cost of defeating Tongguan himself, or even higher than the price of a force attack.

    Liu Zhe's lion has a big mouth. Cao Cao has already learned this lesson, so when he came up with this idea, he gave up the idea of ??bargaining.

    Cao Cao looked at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon. He said: "Give me the order. The army will set off now and try to reach Tongguan before tomorrow night."

    It is more than 140 miles from Hangu Pass to Tongguan, and the march will take more than a day.

    Cao Cao directly started to point out the generals: "Yu Jin!"

    "The end is here!" Yu Jin handed over and went out.

    Cao Cao looked at the heroic Yu Jin and felt very satisfied. During the crusade against Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu rebelled. It was Yu Jin who led his men to block Zhang Xiu's pursuit and achieved great success.  Cao Cao now likes to take him with him when he goes on an expedition.

    Cao Cao looked at his beloved general and said: "Wenze (Yu Jinzi), I will give you 40,000 troops. Do you have the confidence to stop Zhang Liao from the ferry camp?"

    At the ferry camp at the bend of the Yellow River, Liu Zhe asked Zhang Liao to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to station at Fengling Ferry. They could advance, attack, retreat or defend, and they could also be at odds with Tongguan.

    If Cao Cao wants to attack Tongguan, it is impossible to ignore the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Dukou camp. If there are more than a few, it will be easy to be besieged.  Therefore, he had to send people to block Zhang Liao at the ferry camp and block the contact between Zhang Liao and Liu Zhe to prevent him from responding to Liu Zhe.

    But it doesn't mean that blocking can be stopped. Although Zhang Liao is not Liu Zhe's most powerful general, he is not an ordinary cat or dog. The fact that he can be trusted by Liu Zhe and stationed in this life-and-death position is enough to show that Liu Zhe has  His trust also shows his ability, not to mention Zhang Liao's record during the crusade against Yuan Shao was also extremely outstanding.

    Facing such a general, Cao Cao did not give his men a death order, but asked Yu Jin if he had confidence. It can be seen that Cao Cao did not have much confidence in his men.

    "Even if I risk my life, the general will still stop Zhang Liao."

    Yu Jin¡¯s eyes were firm and his expression was serious. Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an incomparable determination. It was a belief that he would stop Zhang Liao even if he sacrificed his life.

    His subordinates all said this. Cao Cao had to nod his head no matter how confident he was, otherwise, it would be easy to break the hearts of his subordinates.

    "In that case, I will leave my back to you." Cao Cao said forbidden.

    If Yu Jin cannot intercept Zhang Liao and let Zhang Liao lead his men to kill him, Cao Cao will really be attacked from both sides. Then it will be useless no matter how powerful Cao Cao is.

    "Yes!" Yu Jin accepted the order.

    "Cao Hong!"

    Cao Cao turned his attention to Cao Hong and said to him: "I order you to lead five thousand people as the vanguard and drive all night. You must arrive at Tongguan early in the morning and set up camp."

    "Here!" Cao Hong happily accepted the order.

    "Send someone to tell Cao Ren to withdraw his troops from Linjin and abandon all places except Chang'an. Then he will gather his forces and attack Tongguan with me. We must capture or even kill Liu Zhe."

    Cao Cao continued to give orders and asked Man Chong to send a messenger to tell Cao Ren his latest plan.

    "Yes!" Man Chong accepted the order.

    "This battle is related to Yongzhou's gains and losses. I hope you can do your best to help me." After giving the instructions, Cao Cao looked serious, stood up, and bowed to all his men present.

    "Dare to die to serve!"

    Everyone stood up together, and a chilling atmosphere spread out.

    "Set off!"

    Following Cao Cao's order, a hundred thousand troops set off in a mighty manner. At the same time, Cao Cao also sent people back to Xudu. The plan to sneak attack Xuzhou was postponed. Everything will wait until the results of the attack on Tongguan are known. After all, he cannot afford it now.  Fighting on two fronts.

    Cao Cao's army had just set out, and Liu Zhe received the news.

    Liu Zhe asked Zhao Yun: "Cao Cao is already here?"

    "Yes, lord." Zhao Yun replied from the side.

    Zhao Yun is actually the guard of Tongguan now. Although Liu Zhe is here, it is impossible for Liu Zhe to deal with the large and small affairs of Tongguan.Zhe Lai did it, so this burden naturally fell into Zhao Yun's hands.

    At the same time, because Liu Zhe was here, Zhao Yun was very nervous and serious. No matter how big or small, he asked about everything one by one, trying not to miss anything to prevent any mistakes.

    When Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 troops to dispatch, as soon as Zhao Yun received the news, he rushed to tell Liu Zhe.

    "Don't worry, it's just a hundred thousand people." Liu Zhe didn't care at all.

    The current troops and horses in Tongguan plus his guards already have 20,000 people. The tenacious defense of 20,000 people is enough to resist Cao Cao's 100,000 army.

    This is not because Liu Zhe is arrogant, but because of his strong self-confidence in his own strength.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
