Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

"I have seen the Lord (Cao Gong)!"

"I've seen Mr.!"

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houlan, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Li Dian and other generals came before Cao Cao and Lu Yan, and they all clasped their fists in salute.

"That's right, the army is at its peak, and its morale is high." Cao Cao nodded and said with great satisfaction, "This battle must be won!"

"My lord, who do you want to fight with?" Cao Ren asked.

"Xiliang Army!"

"Xiliang Army?" Cao Ren and the others looked at each other, and then their fighting spirit was blazing, "Great, another meritorious service has come to our door!"

After Cao Cao glanced at Lu Yan, he said, "You will take full command of this battle!"

"But my lord, Feng Xiao is not here, who should I discuss with?" Lu Yan asked a little embarrassed.Now he suddenly realized that Guo Jia seemed to have unknowingly become his most trusted friend.

"It's a pity that Feng Xiao is not here...Since you lack a military advisor, what do you think of me, Cao Mengde? Can I be a military advisor?"

Cao Cao stepped forward and wanted to be Lu Yan's military adviser?

"what's going on?"

"What happened?" Cao Ren and the others were dumbfounded.

But Lu Yan sternly refused: "Mr. Cao, it will damage your dignity, it's inappropriate."

Lu Yan's refusal surprised Cao Cao, but he felt a little relieved: "Mr. really still reads me...very good!"

Cao Cao then said again: "This battle is intended to show the might of our Cao army. Regardless of whether Feng Xiao is here or not, we must act as a dignified division, face it head-on, and defeat the Xiliang army!"

Lu Yan's heart sank, and he clasped his fists together with the others and said, "Here!"

Chapter 22 Array, meet the enemy!

Ten miles outside Luoyang City, relying on woods and highlands, Cao Jun set up camp here.

Cao Cao followed Dian Wei, patrolling around the camp.

After all, this battle has a lot to do with it. Although he was relieved to hand it over to Lu Yan, he couldn't help but patrol the camp for Lu Yan.

"Beiwei army, I am invincible!!!"

"I am invincible!"

"I am invincible!"

When passing by the camp of Beiwei Army, Cao Cao and Dian Wei were attracted by the slogan of Beiwei Army.

"This is the Beiwei Army..." This was the second time Cao Cao saw the Beiwei Army. The last time he saw him was more than a year ago when he was under the city of Puyang.

But at that time, the Beiwei army had already defeated the central army guarded by Chen Gong, and Cao Cao had never really seen the combat effectiveness of the Beiwei army.

"From the perspective of momentum and morale, the Beiwei army is obviously much stronger than ordinary soldiers." Cao Cao was still observing the Beiwei army, but he didn't want Dianwei to come up to him, and said enviously: "My lord, I I also want to join the Beiwei Army... I heard from them that the position of the general of the Beiwei Army should have belonged to me."

Cao Cao glanced at the sturdy Dianwei, then at the Beiwei Army armed to the teeth with iron armor, and replied: "Indeed, heavy infantry is more suitable for an invincible warrior like you!"

"Yes, why don't you let me go back to Chenliu." Dian Wei stared at Cao Cao expectantly, blinking his big eyes, almost blinding Cao Cao's eyes...

"No, you are leaving, who will guard my safety?" Cao Cao resolutely refused, shaking his head.

Dian Wei stroked his bald head, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly grinned and said, "My lord, when I was on the run, I met a strong man, his strength was comparable to mine, and he was also a first-class strong man." !"

"Oh? Is there anyone else who can compete with you?" Boss Cao suddenly became interested.

"That's not... His hometown is in Qiao County, and he is from the same town as you, my lord!"

"What's his name?"

"I forgot the name, but I only remember that the surname seems to be Xu, the owner of the Xu Family Fort!"

"Okay, we'll visit him in person when we get back. If he's really as powerful as you said, I'll let you go back to Chenliu!"

Dian Wei's eyes widened, and he cheered, "My lord, I thank you first!"

"Okay...let's concentrate on preparing for the battle..." Cao Cao said to Dian Wei with a smile.

After getting along with each other for so many years, Cao Cao really fell in love with a fierce general like Dian Wei, brave, loyal, and simple-minded, and it is not easy to use.

Being able to draw a tie with Dian Wei, no matter what the strength value is, it will not be so low.

When Cao Cao thought of this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said to himself, "Mr. Lu, you can't just let you focus on everything. I, Cao Cao, will find a strong general myself this time!"

......

Halfway through the construction of the camp, Xu Huang came to report with 100 personal guards.

Lu Yan was studying the map in the big tent, Xu Huang was led by a soldier to Lu Yan.

"Meet the general!"

Xu Huang is humble. Although he saw that Lu Yan was dressed as a scribe, he did not lose his etiquette.

Lu Yan turned around, with a smile on his face and said: "Gongming please, we will be a family from now on, so don't be so polite."

"?" Xu Huang's eyes showed a little blankness, "It means that I was sold by Yang Feng?".

"Our current army has become an organic system, and there is no place for you to play for the time being. Please feel wronged and be my guard first."

"Here!" Xu Huang didn't show dissatisfaction, because he knew that the reason why he couldn't get in was because Cao Jun's army was neat.

Before the camp was set up, another scout suddenly came to report: "Report to the general, there is an army horse coming ahead."

"So fast?" Lu Yan glanced at Xu Huang and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look together."

Zhang Ji had more than 4 soldiers, and Li Jue and Guo Si had nearly [-] soldiers.

The combat effectiveness of their line of work cannot be stopped by the mere Baibo Army.

Although the Baibo army also had more than 3 people, their combat power was uneven, and they were defeated and fled in all directions after a short fight with the Xiliang army.

However, the Baibo army still blocked the Xiliang army for nearly a day, otherwise Liu Xie and others would have been overtaken yesterday, and they would not have been able to wait for Cao Cao's arrival.

The Xiliang Army of Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji did not stop to repair after defeating the Baibo Army, but quickly marched towards Luoyang.

Zhang Ji's strength was the weakest. He played tricks during the battle and secretly bypassed many Baibo army's defense lines, thus gaining the advantage in speed.

Zhang Ji, who was marching hurriedly along the way, was now less than [-] miles away from Lu Yan's camp.

Lu Yan didn't prepare armor or other equipment at all, and could only sit on a white dragon horse in a scholar's shirt.

He murmured: "If I knew it, I would have worn armor. The scholar's shirt doesn't seem to fit my current status..."

At this time, a scout came to report: "Report! General, it is indeed Xiliang army horse."

"Can you find out which group of people it is?" Lu Yan asked.

The scout had clearly distinguished the flags carefully, and replied, "Go back to the general, they are Zhang Ji's men!"

Lu Yan turned around and said to the soldiers gathered behind him, "Zhang Ji's army and horses have arrived, and Li Jue and Guo Si must be arriving soon."

Even before the camp was built, the enemy army had already arrived.

"It seems that they marched here in a hurry, otherwise it would be impossible to arrive early." Xu Huang expressed his judgment.

"Since that's the case, we still have time to prepare." Lu Yan nodded, and continued: "Send the order, five miles out of the camp, and form an array to meet the enemy!"

......

"Array, meet the enemy!" Zhao Yun led a small number of cavalry and shouted loudly from a distance.

Tai Shici buckled his mask and raised Su Tiedao. Compared with their activeness in the barracks, they seemed a little silent and quiet at the moment.

Since absorbing more than a hundred soldiers who were trapped in the camp, the Beiwei army also had some characteristics of being trapped in the camp.

Before the battle, there was silence, and it was unknowingly infected from the soldiers in the camp to the whole army.

Lu Yan said to Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Li Dian: "Zi Xiao, all [-] infantry are under your command. Zi Lian and Man Cheng are your lieutenants. You must not disgrace Cao Ying in front of the emperor."

Cao Ren should be the most experienced commander of the army among this group of people, and he is also the one with the most comprehensive abilities.

Sure enough, he was still the commander-in-chief of his husband's choice, and Cao Ren felt his blood boil:

"If the battle is defeated, Ren will bring his head to see the master!"

If you don't move, you just raise your head to see him, isn't Flange so upright?

After the others had received the order to leave, only Xia Houlan, Dian Wei and Xu Huang were left by their side.

Lu Yan turned to Cao Cao and said, "Mr. Cao, let Dian Wei protect you."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "No, Dianwei lent you the loan. I'll go back to Luoyang City later."

Nodding his head, Lu Yan turned his head to look at Xia Houlan, Dian Wei and Xu Huang, and said:

"Ziheng, Dianwei, and Gongming, the three of you will follow me to guard the central army and protect the banner of the three armies. The banner of the three armies is the soul of the army, and it must not be lost!"

The three of Xia Houlan clasped their fists together and said, "Here!"

Chapter 23 Times have changed, cavalry is no longer invincible

Seeing that Lu Yan had finished making arrangements, Cao Cao rode back to Luoyang.

Next, what he has to do is to build a good impression in front of the emperor and the officials, and then quietly wait for the news from Lu Yan.

There are not many generals under Zhang Ji who left their names in history. One nephew, Zhang Xiu, would be added to Hu Che'er at worst.

If he is alone, Cao Jun's side is much higher in terms of numbers and combat power.

The only regret is that the number of cavalry on Cao Jun's side is too small.

Looking at nearly half of the Xiliang cavalry, Zhao Yun's eyes are almost red with envy... No, he has taken a fancy to his horse.

"Boom!!" The hooves of the Xiliang army got closer.

From afar, he saw a black front line suddenly appearing in front of him. Zhang Ji sat on the horse and said to the adjutant beside him, "Send someone to see which army it is."

"Here!"

The adjutant passed on the order, and soon several scouts galloped out.

After a cup of tea, the scouts saw the big banner from a distance.

A big "Lu" flag, and some flags representing Cao Jun, the scouts quickly passed the news back.

"Cao? Lu?" Zhang Ji thought for a moment, then startled, and lost his voice: "Could it be Cao Cao's subordinate, Chen Liujun, commander of Lu Yan?!"

With this exclamation, even the Xiliang soldiers around them became a little surprised.

Unlike Emperor Xian and his ministers who were imprisoned in the deep palace and had no news, Zhang Ji, who was guarding Hongnong, was always paying attention to the general trend of the world.

Zhang Xiu came to Zhang Ji's side on horseback and asked, "Uncle, even Yuan Shu and Marquis Wen were defeated by Lu Yan one after another... If Lu Yan really came, then we will be in trouble."

"It's not that there's trouble..." Zhang Ji looked at the "Lu" flag that was blown by the wind in the distance, and murmured, "It's Te Niang who is in big trouble!"

The two sides were about two or three miles away, facing each other from a distance, and the battlefield was quiet.

Zhang Ji was afraid of Lu Yan's strength and did not dare to charge rashly, so he planned to wait for the arrival of the troops of Li Jue and Guo Si before speaking.

Seeing Zhang Ji's army stagnating, Lu Yan knew that he was waiting for the follow-up army.

Since there are too few cavalry on my side, it is not worth the loss to take the initiative to attack, so I can only set up the formation first to stabilize the position.

Although they were all waiting, Lu Yan was not idle.

"Trapped into a horse pit, a hundred steps away from the front of the formation, dig everything for me!"

"Crossbowmen, archers, stand by at any time!"

"Large shield soldiers, spearmen, line up!"

Frequent orders were issued, and the well-trained soldiers arranged and changed the lineup according to the content of their daily training.

......

Both are waiting,

Sure enough, not too long later, the army of Li Jue and Guo Si arrived!

"What's the matter, why did Zhang Ji hesitate to move forward?" Seeing Zhang Ji's troops stopped in front, Li Jue and Guo Si were puzzled in their hearts.

But now the two are commanding their own soldiers separately, and they dare not be as close as before.

The two armies came to the left and right of Zhang Ji's army respectively.
