603, Cao Cao sent troops to expand the territory

"Brother, brother..."

Liu Xin ran back and told Liu Zhe about the news he got from Yuan Yao. Compared with this news, it was too strange. Liu Xin felt that Cao Cao must be planning some big conspiracy.

After hearing this, Liu Zhe was not too surprised.

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

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

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

Guo Jia said in a word, "Cao Cao should be preparing to deal with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu of Nanyang, Liu Bei of Yuzhou, Gongsun Zan of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu of Shouchun, and us. Cao Cao was surrounded by enemies on all sides. He moved the capital to Xuchang to avoid us. Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were united with strong strength. Yuan Shu was the three masters of four generations and had a deep foundation. Compared with them, only Zhang Xiu of Nanyang was the weakest, so it was inevitable that Cao Cao would attack him."

"Now the emperor's ceremony of the Empress of the Book of the Emperor was just over. This was a good opportunity for Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu never expected that Cao Cao would raise an army to attack just after the ceremony of the Book of the Emperor."

When Liu Xin heard this, her eyes kept turning, obviously thinking about something. She asked, "Who will win by Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu?"

"Of course it's Cao Cao."

Guo Jia's tone affirmed, saying, "Cao Cao's strength was originally stronger than Zhang Xiu, but now he is a sneak attack in secret, so Zhang Xiu is no match."

Guo Jia smiled and continued: "It seems that Cao Cao was very excited by his lord this time."

Cao Cao was so urgent to attack Zhang Xiu, but in fact he was stimulated by Liu Zhe's army this time to come to Xudu.

Liu Zhe came to Xudu swagger and then left swagger. During this period, Cao Cao could not annoy Liu Zhe and tried his best to avoid conflicts with Liu Zhe, which made Cao Cao deeply stimulated.

"Can you add some trouble to Cao Cao?" Liu Xin was concerned about this, and she eagerly hoped to add some trouble to Cao Cao.

“It’s too late.”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Cao Cao concealed it very well and hid everyone. Even if he went to report the message to Zhang Xiu now, it would be too late."

"Ah? That's like this! That's a pity." Liu Xin said with deep regret.

Liu Zhe smiled and said, "Let's go. Even if you inform Zhang Xiu, it's useless. Cao Cao is not a simple person, let them fight. Anyway, no matter how they jump around, when they think they have become very strong, I will let them know what real despair is."

When Liu Zhe said this, a surge of momentum rose. Not only Guo Jia, but even Zhang Fei, who was not far away, felt it, and looked at Liu Zhe with a fanatical look on his face.

Liu Zhe led his men toward 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 Fu Wan's daughter Fu Shou as his queen, and immigrated the world. The success of the ceremony of the post-Chapter Ceremony demonstrated the majesty of the court and diluted the previous events of Xu Du. The people of the world couldn't help but have more expectations for him, and many people even hoped that he could revive the Han Dynasty.

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

Five days after the enactment ceremony, Cao Cao raised an army to attack the Nanyang prefect Zhang Xiu for not respecting the court.

Cao Cao took the vanguard of the Zhechong school lieutenant Xiahou Dun as his vanguard, and raised 100,000 troops to enter Nanyang County. Cao Cao's army was as powerful as the bamboo. Luyang County, Zhi County, and other counties were captured, and the troops headed straight to Nanyang District and Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu led his army to fight with Xiahou Dun at Bowangpo. The fierceness of the Xiliang cavalry caused Xiahou Dun to suffer a lot. He fought with Zhang Xiu in front of the formation, but the two could not fight each other.

Hu Cheer, a general under Zhang Xiu, took the opportunity to lead the Western Liang cavalry to charge. Xiahou Dun's troops were mostly infantry, and they could not resist the charge and storm of the Western Liang cavalry, and they retreated one after another.

Xiahou Dun had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat, with 10,000 vanguards, and less than one three-pointer was retreating.

Zhang Xiu defeated the vanguard of Cao Cao's army, and his morale was strong. He took advantage of the victory to pursue him. He took back Zhixian that night. However, he was defeated by Cao Cao's plan and was attacked by Cao's army in the middle of the night. Zhang Xiu had 50,000 troops, and only less than 30,000 Western Liang cavalry escaped.

Zhang Xiu reorganized his team and planned to return to take revenge, but was ambushed by Cao Cao again and was hit by a head-on attack. This time, Cao Cao sent his cavalry unit, led by Cao Xiu, who was called "Thousand Miles Horse" by Cao Cao, to raid Zhang Xiu's army on the way and divide Zhang Xiu's troops into two parts.

The Cao army attacked Zhang Xiu's front and back and forth and ate Zhang Xiu's front army and defeated Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu fled back to Wancheng with a few soldiers in a weary way.

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

In less than a month, Cao Cao captured Nanyang, and the speed was so fast that many people were surprised.
