Zhu Ye was still in a melee with Dian Wei and Xu Chu. The three of them had fought for more than a hundred rounds, but Zhu Ye's strength, skills, endurance, and even combat experience were much better than the two. Although he was at a disadvantage at this moment, he had only suffered some minor injuries. It was difficult for the two to really take him down for a while.

On the other hand, Gao Shun was seriously injured and unconscious, and was carried by several subordinates, running wildly, trying to escape from the siege and joining the Hanwu soldiers outside the woods. After all, their location was already deep into the forest, three or four miles away from the soldiers outside the forest. In addition, with the obstacles of the heavy forest, even if the fighting sounded across Yuntian, I was afraid that the Hanwu soldiers and the others would not hear any movement.

However, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Huang Zhong, the three of them led the light cavalry to attack everywhere and did not fight with them. They attacked and fought for a while, blocking their pace, and quickly retreated. When they were carrying Gao Shun on their backs and were about to continue on their way, they immediately attacked again.

Half an hour passed, and several generals ran less than a mile away, but thousands of soldiers around them had been killed and injured, which made them anxious and angry, but they had no choice.

Cao Cao was still worried and said, "Then Gao Shun pretended to die last time and deceived me so badly. Will it be..."

"I don't think so." Xi Zhong took over his words: "The shooting skills of the two generals Xiahou Yuan and Huang Zhong, even if they were the sharp shooter Ye Xiang under Liu He, should be no less than that. The two of them fired their bows at the same time, and no matter what kind of master they were, they would definitely die. What's more, two sharp arrows shot into his body, Gao Shun vomited blood, and was lifted out, which was something we saw with our own eyes, and we would definitely not be able to do anything."

"The reason for Zhicai is right. Even if Gao Shun has the armor to protect his body, he is not dead for the time being, he must have been seriously injured. On the verge of death, unless the miracle doctor Hua Tuo is treated immediately, or he may have two or three chances. However, Hua Tuo is far away in Luoyang, and Gao Shun cannot escape from this forest at all, so the lord doesn't have to worry too much."

Listening to Cheng Yu say so, Cao Cao's expression relaxed a little.

"Well, this is the best. I'm waiting for Gao Shun, and I'm suffering many losses and setbacks. Now I'm killing him like this, which is really touching."

He looked at Gao Shun lying on the back of a man from afar and sighed: "Ah... this Gao Shun can also be called a hero of a generation. Now that he dies at my hands, it is really a pity. After this battle, he should restrain his body and be buried with the power of a prince."

"The lord is kind and kind, and this way, he can win the hearts of all the soldiers in the world." Everyone praised loudly.

Cao Cao suddenly turned his head and asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, is there any progress in investigating Liu He's paper books?"

Guo Jia said with a shameful look: "I am sorry that my subordinates are incompetent. Liu He has kept this matter extremely strictly. Where did those paper books be produced and then transported to Luoyang. How was this flawless and gentle peerless paper made? Who is responsible for handling this matter? No matter what, my subordinates have found out."

Cao Cao was not surprised: "Well, this is also expected. Whoever can control such a treasure is equivalent to controlling the hearts of the scholars in the world. How could Liu He not be strictly guarded? I am afraid that even Guan Yu, Xun Yu and others will not know it. It is really too difficult to find the news in this short time."

Cheng Yu sighed, "I didn't expect that Liu He would have such a method. Nowadays, even the paper of Cai Hou was sold for a hundred yuan per piece, while Zuo Bo's paper was even more expensive. However, these papers were a little different from those made by Liu He. Just his paper, if sold for seven or eight hundred yuan per piece, they could definitely be snatched to a priceless price. What's more, the printing technique is only seen in the world. It is very wonderful and can be said to be a work by a god."

"Zhongde is right." Cao Cao's face was a little dark: "We worked hard and finally won the hearts of most scholars in the world, but Liu He fought back again with these few books. Many of the aristocratic families who flocked to him now have the idea of ​​leaving again. Many of them, although they still settled their property in Yuzhou and Jingzhou, sent all the young children of the clan to Luoyang. Even if they were unable to be admitted to the Imperial Academy, they would continue to stay and work hard to take the exam next year. All our efforts in previous years have been burned down. I am really unwilling to accept it."

Guo Jia hurriedly said, "Lord doesn't have to be like this. Although Liu He's actions are confidential, they can't keep the fire in the end. Such a large-scale papermaking and printing of books will inevitably reveal clues in the long run. What's more, as long as you win this battle, Zhang Yong and Gao Shun die, the Jindao Camp and the Han Wushou soldiers are destroyed, and our army will attack Luoyang, and it will be just around the corner."

After hearing Guo Jia's analysis, Cao Cao regained his spirit again: "It's not bad, I'm better to be filial to know my heart."

At the same time, Liu He, who was far away in Luoyang, was in a state of great difficulty and had no idea when a carrier pigeon suddenly fell into the yard.

Liu He's eyes lit up, and he took two steps at a time, ran out in person, and took off the urgent items from the pigeon's legs.

In a blink of an eye, Liu He's originally sad face turned into excitement and surprise.

"Haha, so that's it, so that's it. There is no more suspense in the battle in Yuzhou."

Xun Yu and Qian Li were surprised when they saw Liu He's sudden change in expression.

"Your Majesty, I don't know..."

Xun Yu asked tentatively.

Liu He handed him the urgent document: "Wen Ruo and Dao are right for yourself."

The two of them looked down and were very happy. Xun Yu laughed and scolded: "This guy, this matter has kept His Majesty in the dark, and he will definitely teach him a lesson when he turns back."

Qian Li smiled and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty in advance, regain Yuzhou, and then unify the world and achieve great achievements for all generations."

In the woods, a man rode a fast horse and quickly ran towards Cao Cao.

"Report... the lord, General Li Dian, General Wei Yan, and Cao Shu and Cao Chun, led 60,000 troops and captured two cities in Chen County and Changping County. The soldiers were being rectified and prepared to attack Chenliu County."

"Okay!" Cao Cao was overjoyed.

"Congratulations to lord." Cheng Yu and others congratulated each other.

"Now that Gao Shun's retreat has been cut off, and it is difficult to escape from the sky again."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and was very satisfied: "It is rare for Anmin and Zihe to perform like this. However, Wei Yan was originally a surrendered general in Jingzhou. At that time, I ignored this person because of Huang Hansheng, the top general. Now it seems that he is also a talented general and should be used well in the future."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed, with a different view: "Lord, Wei Yan, the subordinate, is born with a rebellious nature and is arrogant. He is so good at boasting on weekdays. He has had quarrels with many generals in the army, so he should be cautious."

Cao Cao disagreed and waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't doubt people, don't doubt people. I, Cao, can't even control a Wei Yan, how can I defeat Liu He and pacify the world?"

Guo Jia bowed and said, "The lord's words are reasonable, but his subordinates are short-sighted."

Just at noon on the day when Cao Cao launched the offensive, half a day before this moment, outside the Changping County town, about 120 to thirty miles away from the battlefield, a large group of soldiers were moving towards the north.

The commander of this group of soldiers was Li Dian, one of the foreign generals under Cao Cao. In addition, Cao Shu was the deputy general, Wei Yan was the vanguard, and Cao Chun led three thousand heavy cavalry to follow the army to support him.

Wei Yan rode a tall brown horse and walked behind Li Dian. Although he was the deputy general, he held his head high and did not avoid it. He kept looking at Li Dian walking in front of him and the Cao brothers on both sides, with disdain flashing from time to time in the corners of his eyes.

"Hmph, just by these three people, even if they are so thin, they are tied together, and they are not a rival to a certain family. The lord actually wants me to be their vanguard. The so-called soldiers are so fast. Li Dian's march is so slow, and Cao Chun is even more foolish. He commands the cavalry but does not know how to inquire first. He wants to follow the brigade and does not listen to my good advice. If the troops are under my command, I am afraid they will be under Chenliu City at this moment..."

Li Dian, Cao Shu and Cao Chun are not top generals among the Cao army. Wei Yan thought that his talents were above them, but now he is at the bottom of him, so he is naturally indignant.

Li Dian seemed to have noticed the snooping gaze from behind him. He turned his head to look at Wei Yan, and then smiled gently.

"Wen Chang, our army won two consecutive victories, why are you still so depressed?"

Wei Yan had no choice but to lower his head slightly, clasp his fists and said, "The last general is not depressed, but just a tactic after thinking about it."

"Oh?" Li Dian was intrigued: "In your opinion, how is our army best to march?"

At this time, Cao Shu, not far away, sneered: "Tsk... an unknown soldier, just a surrendered general in Jingzhou, what tricks can he have? I have only seen that you are a little brave enough to allow you to fight with the army. Now our army is in full swing and the enemy is not prepared. No matter how you fight, you will definitely win. How can you think about any tactics? Humph, overestimate your ability."

"You..." Wei Yan's face turned red by his mockery, but the other party was the lord's nephew. He was a subordinate, so he dared not refute it. He could only turn his head aside and stop talking.

"Hey, the army should be based on harmony. You should not argue, as it will disrupt the morale of the army."

Li Dian quickly persuaded him. He was a famous Confucian general in the Cao army. He has always been known for his gentle nature. Cao Shu often asked him for advice and respected him a little. Therefore, when he saw that he spoke, he stopped laughing at Wei Yan.

After the army walked for half a day, a scout ran back: "Report to the general, Fugou City is fifteen miles ahead. Although the flags are waving and the defenders are patrolling continuously, it seems that the soldiers are only five or six thousand at most."

Li Dian nodded: "Well, I understand, let's explore again."

"That's great." Cao Shu clapped his hands and said, "The situation in Fugou City is almost the same as that of Changping and Chen County. Moreover, they were unaware of the loss of the two counties. Our army suddenly arrived and could easily capture it as before."

Cao Chun also said: "After this city, we will move forward for another day. Tomorrow morning, we will arrive at Chenliu City. General Li might as well let the last general lead the cavalry first, and the last general will definitely seize the city."

Li Dian waved his hand and said, "It is understandable that the general is eager to make contributions. However, the general also saw it in the previous two battles. Although the defenders had few soldiers, they were the generals under Gao Shun's command. After all, they were the generals under Gao Shun's command. We were ten times more troops and in the early morning, we attacked them unpreparedly. It took several hours to capture them. The generals and cavalry were not good at attacking the city. It would be inconvenient to go there, so it would be better to go with the army."

Cao Chun frowned slightly, a little disappointed, but before leaving, Cao Cao specifically told him that all military affairs in this battle must obey Li Dian's instructions and should not rely on his own identity and be in the right way, so he could only obey orders.

"Tsk... the playboy..." Wei Yan was disdainful and turned his head away, too lazy to look at them.

The army of four people and tens of thousands of people accelerated their marches and finally arrived in front of the gate of Fugou City.

Sure enough, when the defenders saw a large number of enemy troops suddenly arrived, they were all panicked and blew horns one after another. Soon, under the command of several guards, a group of soldiers on the city tower began to run.

Li Dian showed admiration: "Gao Shun is a famous general in the world. When facing a surprise attack from an enemy army that is ten times more than him, he can command the battle without any confusion. There are not many such good generals in our army, but under Gao Shun's rule, all the cities and guards in Yanzhou are like this, which is really rare. Fortunately, he has been in Yanzhou for a short time. If he had been asked to stay here for five or six years, he would have managed Yanzhou as solid as a solid foundation. At that time, I am afraid that the lord will come in person and may not be able to easily capture it."

Wei Yan glanced at him: "General, how should our army attack? Please give orders to the general."

Li Dian was not angry at his somewhat disrespectful tone: "Send the order to block the entire city, attack the east gate, and attack."

"Kill..." Tens of thousands of troops rushed towards the city gate.

Soon, ladders were laid on the city wall, and the siege cars were also violently hitting the city gate.

Not long after, a group of Cao army soldiers climbed the city tower and began to fight fiercely with the defenders.

However, although the Cao army was large in number, its combat power was not as good as the Han army in terms of soldiers' combat power. The two sides fought on the city tower for a long time, and the Cao army did not take any advantage. However, the Cao army occupied as much as 70% of the corpses that fell down the city wall.

However, Li Dian and others did not seem to be surprised by this.

Tens of thousands of troops soon became completely stalemate at the city wall and gate.

"It seems that this battle is not easy. It will take several hours to capture this city. I am afraid that it will take us to enter the city when it is dark."

Li Dian sighed, and the rest of the people did not express any objection.

However, at this moment, a deafening cry of killing suddenly came from behind them.

"Kill..."

"Kill all Cao's army..."

Li Dian and others were shocked and hurriedly looked back. The scene in front of them scared them very much.

I saw tens of thousands of soldiers and horses appearing several miles behind, with flags flying, shouting and killing, and horse hooves all in my ears, which made them, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers in Cao's army, cheered up.

"Where did the Han army come from? Chenliu has a total of 130,400 troops. In addition to staying in various cities, Gao Shun took away all 100,000 troops. How could there be... how could there be such a large army?"

Cao Shu's words almost roared.

Among the army that came, there was a figure - Xun You.

He looked at the city ahead and the Cao army soldiers outside the city, and smiled slightly: "Cao Cao, Cao Cao, I wonder if you may be able to bear this trick?"
