Sun Jian quickly said goodbye and left. Now is an extraordinary period. The commander and the army are separated for too long, and problems may occur.

As Sun Jian led his troops to arrive, the morale of Cao's army also increased a lot, at least not in panic.

Cao Cao asked someone to remove the food and drinks, and planned to take a hot bath and then go down to rest.

The same is true for him. He hasn't had a good sleep for many days. Taking advantage of Sun Jian's protection, he can sleep peacefully.

"Lord, sirs are looking for a meeting outside." A personal soldier walked in from outside and bowed to report the report.

"Please come in." Cao Cao cheered up, sat back on his coach's seat, and raised his hand and said.

"No." The personal soldiers agreed to the promise. Not long after, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and other important officials of Cao Cao came in from outside, and after saluting, they each took their seats.

"Sir, is there anything wrong?" Cao Cao asked directly without saying much nonsense.

After everyone looked at each other, their eyes fell on Xun Yu. Xun Yu took a deep breath, his face extremely serious.

Cao Cao felt the atmosphere was solemn, and he couldn't help but restrain his expression and became serious.

"Lord. As the saying goes, there is no day, and there is no two kingdom. Since the Liang thieves steal the magical artifacts of the country, the Han Dynasty has lost the emperor. Although [that person] is still alive, it is not right after all. After arriving in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and other troops need to be unified, and the people of Shixie, Shanyue, Jing and Yang in Jiaozhou all need the emperor."

"We discussed it. After the lord was settled, we discussed with General Sun to select the virtuous royal family as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, respect [that] as the emperor, and compete with the Liang thieves. Let the officials and people know that this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty."

Xun Yu did not finish speaking in one breath, but paused many times, especially when [that person], he was even more pronounced.

Of course, Cao Cao understood who that person was referring to.

After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that this matter was feasible. He was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he had no good feelings for the Emperor Ling of Han.

Let’s talk about it.

Now the Liang thief Zhang Xiu exiled Liu Xie as the leader of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty did not have a son of emperors. So much so that he, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian were all in charge.

All three of them have huge powers and no one obeys each other. Especially Yuan Shao is even more powerful and they cannot choose a emperor.

But now that Yuan Shao is dead, Sun Jian is easy to talk to, and the situation is like this.

They also wanted to respect the Han Dynasty and fight with the Liang army. In order to boost the morale of the officials and the people, they really needed to establish a emperor and integrate the overall situation.

Even Cao Cao had even thought of his official positions, including Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others.

In short, there needs to be a court and a flag to fight against the Liang Dynasty.

"I understand this matter. After arriving in Xiangyang, I will discuss it with Sun Wentai and Liu Bei." Cao Cao pondered for a long time, raised his head and nodded and said.

Everyone exhaled.

They fought Zhang Xiu repeatedly, which seemed to be a military issue, but in fact it was a political issue.

Whether it is the Liang Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, this is the root of the contradiction.

As long as the emperor is established, the conflict between the two sides will be on the table.

Next is the Liang and Han confrontation.

That night, the Cao army had a rare peaceful night. Early the next morning, Cao Cao continued to go to Jingzhou, while Sun Jian went northwest to camp on a flat ground, and sent a large-scale exploration of horses to inquire about Hu Cheer's actions.

The Cao army agreed on a date and retreated together. While Zhang Xiu entered Shanyang City, Zhang Liao also led generals Hu Cheer, Xu Rong, Wu Kuang and others to enter Changshe City.

This city is a strategically important city, guarded by Yu Jin, the general of Cao's army. Zhang Liao led his troops to attack, but failed to attack the city as he wished. Now, there is a effortless situation.

morning.

In the west of Changshe City, Zhang Liao and the generals climbed the city wall and watched the city. He sighed: "So, this war is about the situation."

"Before the cavalry's decisive battle, Cao Cao still has the strength to do it. After the cavalry's decisive battle, Cao Cao had no strength to do it. If one mistake made a mistake, he would lose everything."

"Changshe City, which we could not find, was so easy to get."

Xu Rong and Wu Kuang both nodded with smiles and echoed a few words.

"It all depends on your Majesty's plan."

"It's all because of His Majesty's divine power."

Zhang Liao, Xu Rong and Wu Kuang's origins are completely different.

One person is from Xiliang, the other is from Bingzhou, and the other is from Guanzhong, but each has its own talents. The powerful generals and powerful generals were united by Zhang Xiu, and they were beaten and reached this point.

Whenever they think of the past, they feel deeply moved.

Who would have thought that the emperor could get to this point?

Even when the emperor was elected as emperor, although they expressed their loyalty, they also thought that the emperor might still have to face arduous wars to wipe out the world.

How many years have passed?

Yuan Shao was gone, and Cao Cao ran away.

The land of Hebei and the Central Plains are already full of Liang soil.

"My generals, all the generals." Hu Cheer was anxious and hurriedly bowed and interrupted, "Now Cao's army fled to Jingzhou. Although Your Majesty did not have an edict, I have 30,000 elite cavalry in my hand. How could I keep moving and watch Cao Cao leave?"

"The last general requests to send troops to pursue Cao Cao."

At the end, Hu Cheer looked serious, but his tiger eyes were full of excitement, and he looked at Zhang Liao.

Although the generals here are the highest official position, Zhang Liao is the commander. However, Hu Cheer and Zhang Xiu have a close relationship, and Hu Cheer has a high status.

Besides, it is not wrong to pursue Cao's army now.

Zhang Liao didn't think much, but just smiled and nodded, "Okay. General Hu led his troops to chase Cao Cao. But." After a pause, Zhang Liao said with a serious expression: "Although there is no news, Cao's army withdraws troops on a large scale, and Sun Jian will definitely ask for Sun Jian to respond. If the general meets Sun Jian, he needs to judge the situation at his discretion and then decide whether to fight."

"No." Hu Cheer wrote down Zhang Liao's words, responded seriously, and then he was excited and stepped down from the city wall, led the cavalry he had swung south to pursue Cao's army.

Wu Kuang and Xu Rong were both a little envious, but they could do nothing. The soldiers they waved were infantry, and it was very troublesome to pursue them, without the convenience of Hu Cheer.

Of course, Hu Cheer was also a good general, and Zhang Liao's instructions were given. When he led the cavalry south, he also sent a large number of horses to find out the movements around him, so as not to be ambushed.

That morning, Hu Cheer walked to a stream.

Thirty thousand cavalry and sixty thousand war horses were not marching in one go, but divided into many teams and arranged into long rows.

Because of the lack of horses, Hu Cheer ordered a rest near the stream. He also turned over and dismounted, took out the water bag behind the horse, and drank it wildly in front of his mouth.

"Report to the general. Explore the horses. A military camp was found thirty miles south, with flags like "Sun" hanging on it." A cavalry galloped in front, and the knight turned over and dismounted, reporting.

Hu Cheer couldn't help but squint his eyes and thought: As expected, it was Sun Jian who came to pick up Cao Cao."

Hu Cheer was eager to try, but the other side was an infantryman and had a large camp support, so his cavalry could not break through the solid camp.

"Send all the explorers out and go further south. Investigate the movements of Cao's army. A large group of people and horses bypass Sun Jian's camp."

Hu Cheer said without hesitation.

"promise."

A personal soldier responded and immediately went down to pass the order. Soon after, many more horses were explored and headed south. After enough rest, Hu Cheer led 30,000 elite cavalry again, intending to take a detour to further south.

The army had been traveling about ten miles away. Hu Cheer raised his head and looked forward. Among the many cavalrymen, a cavalry came against the road.

"Report to the General. In the southern Sun Jian camp, about 30,000 elite infantrymen left the camp and lined up on a flat ground."

The knight bowed and bowed.

Hu Cheer immediately knew Sun Jian’s intention and showed anger on his face.

"This guy Sun Jian is clearly the strength of the Zi'an Infantry Army, and seduces me to fight."

"Send the order." Hu Cheer raised his arms and waved the golden whip in his hand, and ordered: "Go to the direction of Sun Jian's army."

"promise."

A personal soldier responded and went down to pass the order. The distance between the two sides was about fifteen miles. For Hu Cheer's cavalry, this distance was coming in an instant.

The two sides soon met on the flat ground.

Hu Cheer first asked someone to line up, with 10,000 heavy armored cavalry in the middle and 20,000 light cavalry in the two wings.

If an attack is launched, the heavy armored cavalry will be used as the main force to disperse Sun Jian's infantry formation, and then take over Sun Jian's men.

"Dadada." Hu Cheer picked up the spear in his personal soldiers and weighed it, then led dozens of personal soldiers to ride horses to the front of the formation, looking up at Sun Jian's formation.

Inside Sun Jian’s formation.

Under the banner of the "Sun" character, Sun Jian and his personal soldiers stood up and looked up at Hu Cheer's formation. He held a large black gun in his hand, and looked forward to the tiger's eyes.

Cao Cao's strategic plan is very simple.

Using the elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as the spear, defeated the cavalry of Huaxiong, and then turned around to destroy Hu Cheer's cavalry. As long as Zhang Xiu's cavalry was eliminated, the infantry fought, and then eroded Zhang Xiu's troops little by little, accumulating a small victory into a big victory, and turning the situation around little by little.

There is no way. The Liang thieves are too powerful now and cannot defeat the Liang army overnight.

If he could defeat Hu Cheer's cavalry here and have a victory, it would also be possible to turn the situation around.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian took a deep breath and glanced at the crossbowman in his military formation. The strong crossbow, the strong bow is also the nemesis of the cavalry.

The power of cavalry lies in its unparalleled mobility. Confronting infantry head-on is not the best strategy for cavalry.

However, Hu Cheer swung ten thousand heavy armored cavalry, and he also had the ability to charge.

I heard that Hu Cheer is brave but not resourceful and relatively young, and may really come to attack my formation. At that time, bows and crossbows will be launched at the same time, haha.

Under the flag of "Hu" characters, Hu Cheer watched Sun Jian's formation and laughed, turned to a personal soldier beside him and said, "Li Yong, do you know the fisherman?"
