Sishui Pass is located in Sishui Town, east of Xingyang City. It is said that King Mu of Zhou once kept donated tigers in captivity here, which was named Hulao.
Later generations generally believe that the Hulao Pass where the three heroes fought against Lu Bu was the Sishui Pass.
It is the gateway to the east of Luoyang and an important pass. It is connected to Songshan Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains are intertwined and form a natural danger. It has been a battleground for military strategists of all ages.
Judging from its importance, Lu Bu should have fought against the Guandong princes here.
However, Liu Cong discovered that Hulao Pass still exists. It is separated from Sishui Pass by a Sishui River, which is equivalent to the east gate of Xingyang.
To the east of Xingyang, the terrain is flat. I heard that Cao Cao's army had a lot of cavalry this time. Therefore, Fu Xu was left at Hulao Pass to lead 5,000 troops to guard it to prevent Cao Cao's surprise attack. Liu Cong, Zhong Yao and Liu Hu led a thousand forbidden troops to Sishui Pass.
"There are Liu Pan and four thousand imperial troops and three thousand county soldiers in Luoyang City, so there should be no problem. Under Cao Cao's command were the poisonous warriors Jia Xu and Sima Yi. Liu Cong knew that he could not compare with them. Although he had firearms like the Invincible Sky Thunder, he was still not sure, so he took Zhong Yao with him.
"Han Sheng, has Cao's army taken any action?" Liu Cong asked in Huang Zhong's commander's tent.
"Reporting to my lord, the scouts and Tianwang camp have already sent news that Cao Cao has assembled an army of 80,000 troops outside Jizhou City, with hundreds of generals, personally serving as the commander, and Jia Xu as the military advisor, preparing to rush to Sishui Pass. "
"With an army of 80,000 and hundreds of generals, is Han Sheng worried?"
"My lord, I'm only excited now!" Huang Zhong's voice was loud and full of pride, "My sword is already thirsty and thirsty!"
"Ha" Liu Cong also laughed a few times, "Han Sheng is worthy of being the number one general in Jingzhou. These words sound encouraging!"
Outside Yecheng.
An army of 80,000 people, with camps spanning dozens of miles.
Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Xu Chu and others, surrounded by five hundred personal guards, patrolled camp by camp.
Wherever they went, soldiers lined up in front of the camp, full of energy and majesty. The generals in charge of the army were wearing bright helmets and swords, and they were full of murderous intent.
After the inspection, Cao Cao, Xu Chu, and Jia Xu went to the generals' platform. Dozens of generals lined up in four rows, sitting neatly on their horses, heads held high.
Behind them, there were soldiers forming a phalanx one by one.
Cao Cao took a few steps forward and came to the edge of the stage. Not one of the 80,000 soldiers dared to speak, and the whole audience was silent.
"Everyone, I think back then, when I was in Xuchang, I raised an army of 80,000 to fight Yuan Shao in Guandu. At that time, Yuan Shao had an army of 700,000. Many people felt that the battle would be defeated. Even I had no confidence. I want to withdraw." Cao Cao paused and looked at the endless army below the platform, "However, my king's soldiers are unwilling to withdraw. Yuan Shao's 700,000 troops are simply worthless in the eyes of those warriors. A bunch of rabble. Sure enough, they defeated Yuan Shao and unified the north! Today, I have raised another 80,000 troops to fight against the rebellion and fight Liu Cong's Han army in a decisive battle. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" The soldiers shouted in unison, deafening.
"The Wei army must win, the Wei army is invincible!" On the general point platform, General Xu Chu pointed the sword on his waist and shouted loudly.
"The Wei army will win, the Wei army is invincible!" All the soldiers took out their weapons, raised them high, and shouted in unison.
The cold light shines on the sun and the moon, and the sword energy soars into the sky.
"Now I give the order!"
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the audience was silent again.
"I will be the commander myself, Jia Xu will be the military advisor, Sima Yi will join the army, and Cao Zhen and Cao Hong will be the vanguard!"
"Nuo!" Four people came out to take orders.
"Xiahou Ba, Zhang Hu, Cao Chun, and Xu Chu are the generals accompanying the army!"
"No!"
"Xia Houru escorts the grain and grass!"
"No!"
"The army will set off tomorrow!"
"No!"
Cao Cao's march was not very fast, and he arrived outside Sishui Pass five days later. The 80,000-strong army has set up a twenty-mile company camp, divided into four sections. The central army has 30,000 troops, and the left and right wings have 20,000 troops. At the front is the 10,000 vanguard army. The entire camp is in the shape of a "mountain", echoing each other, such as Three sharp knives pointed directly at Sishui Pass.
After setting up camp, Cao Cao wrote a letter and sent it to Liu Cong at Sishui Pass.
"My lord, what did Cao Cao say in his letter?" Huang Zhong asked after seeing Liu Cong finish reading the letter.
"Cao Cao asked me to meet at the gate tomorrow without anyone else!" Liu Cong put down his face and smiled.
"My lord, this is Cao Cao's plan. He wants to join us."??My lord! Liu Hu immediately said, "Lord, we must not go. We only need to guard the pass. If Cao Cao wants to attack the pass, let him have a taste of the power of the invincible thunder!" "
"What does Yuan Chang think?" Liu Cong asked Zhong Yao.
"From the perspective of my subordinates, this is not Cao Gong's plan. He may just want to have a chat with the lord. I remember that during the Battle of Guandu, Cao Gong and Yuan Gong also had a drink in front of the battle to discuss the situation."
"Okay, tell the soldier who delivered the message that I will meet Cao Cao before the battle tomorrow!"
"Lord, this"
"Liu Hu, please tell me how this is Cao Cao's plan. How did he harm me?"
"If Cao Cao kidnaps the lord in front of the formation or"
"Ha" Liu Cong burst out laughing, "Even Xu Chu can't hold me hostage, let alone Cao Cao!"
"Liu Hu, don't worry!" Huang Zhong's face also looked very relaxed, "When it comes to foot combat, there are not many people in the world who can be my lord's opponent!"
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan had a sword duel with Liu Cong, and Wei Yan was at a disadvantage. Huang Zhong and Liu Cong were tied, so he was not worried about this meeting.
The next day, Cao Ying and Sishui Pass each dispatched three thousand soldiers. When the two armies were twenty feet apart, they stopped and formed a formation.
On the Han army side, Huang Zhong and Liu Hu were at the front.
On the Wei army side, Cao Zhang and Xu Chu are at the front.
The soldiers immediately set up a table in the middle of the two armies and spread straw mats on both sides of the table. Then several more soldiers brought fruit plates and fine wine and placed them on the table.
Cao Cao dismounted and walked slowly towards the table. Cao Zhang, Xu Chu and the Wei soldiers did not move.
Liu Cong also jumped off his horse and walked slowly towards Cao Cao. Huang Zhong, Liu Hu and the Han soldiers did not move either.
The two of them came to the opposite side of the table and looked at each other.
"Liu Chengguang, it has been more than five years since we last saw each other. You are even more heroic!"
"Cao Mengde, time makes people grow old. Although your ambition has not diminished, you have spots on your temples!"
"Ha" Cao Cao laughed a few times, "Sit down!"
The two of them sat kneeling opposite each other.
"If we could turn back time, you and I would never meet in this way!"
"What does Meng De mean?"
"I will treat Chengguang with courtesy, and will marry my daughter to you, talk poems and compose poems with you morning and night, and create a good story in the world!"
"Ha" Liu Cong burst out laughing after hearing this, "Did Mengde deceive me as a child? If time could be turned back, I don't think Cao Mengde would have imprisoned our mother and son in Fancheng first, and then sent Yu Jin to kill him. In the lobby of Xiangyang, they took my head directly from my neck, right?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
