At this moment, Cao Jun had led 30,000 troops to the border of Xuchang, a few dozen miles away from Luyang.
As the saying goes, speed is the most important in war, only then can one defeat the enemy and win!
Now that Cao Cao had gone north to resist Yuan Shao, Xuchang City was empty.
Even if Cao Cao expected Cao Jun to attack Xuchang, Yuan Shao's army was known to be 700,000. How many troops could Cao Cao leave behind to guard Xuchang?
Cao Jun's decisive attack on Xuchang also caused Guo Jia, who had witnessed everything, to feel a chill in his heart.
First, they had solved Liu Biao's crisis in the south, and now they were attacking Xuchang in the north.
The ruthlessness of his methods and the decisiveness of his actions made Guo Jia sigh in admiration!
This kid really had the talent to unify the world!
Guo Jia looked at Cao Jun, who was sitting in front of the tent, and his gaze completely changed.
"If we want to take down Xuchang this time, the most important thing is time! We have to do a blitzkrieg battle and wipe out Cao Cao's forces around Xuchang in one fell swoop. We have to guard the various towns and passes in Xuchang. Otherwise, once we delay until Xuchang leads the army back to help, we will fall into a protracted war! Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
In the tent, the civil officials and generals were in high spirits as they shouted in unison.
At this moment, they also recognized Ming Zhu's decisiveness and judgment, and they were naturally very surprised.
Genius!
Their lord was a genius!
Under everyone's burning gazes, Cao Jun continued,"
"This is Lu Yang. After we take down Lu Yang, Jia Xu, you will lead ten thousand troops to attack Yangdi.”
"Yes!"
Jia Xu stepped forward and cupped his hands, his eyes burning."I promise not to disappoint my lord!"
Cao Jun nodded in satisfaction and continued,"
"Hu Che 'er, you will lead ten thousand troops to attack Yingyang.”
"Yes!"
Hu Che 'er received the order, his mind surging.
"Zhang Yu, Feng Xiao, the two of you follow me and lead ten thousand troops straight into Xuchang!”
"Yes!"
Zhang Yu stepped forward. Guo Jia hesitated for a moment before cupping his hands.
"The three armies will form a horn and converge at Xuchang City!”
"Let's go!"
"Pass down the order, march at full speed and take down Lu Yang before dawn!”
"Understood!"
All the civil and military officials responded in unison, their hearts stirred.
Rumble!
The mighty 30,000 cavalrymen were like a ferocious beast galloping across the land, raising dust into the sky as they charged straight towards Lu Yang…
Luyang.
Originally, there were many thieves here. After Cao Cao recovered this place, Duan Wei became the governor of Luyang, which gradually stabilized.
It was already late at night, and the entire Lu Yang was in a state of silence.
Rumble!
All of a sudden, there seemed to be a faint, continuous muffled thunder rolling from underground.
The ground trembled slightly.
In the prefect's manor, Duan Wei suddenly woke up from his dream, sweating profusely.
Feeling the slight tremors on the ground, Duan Wei's expression changed drastically, but he still held his breath and listened carefully.
Rumble!
The muffled sound that sounded like ten thousand horses galloping continuously struck Duan Wei's eardrums. It seemed to be getting clearer and closer…
"Not good, enemy attack!"
Duan Wei lifted the blanket and jumped up. He grabbed the treasured saber hanging by the bed and rushed out.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw a guard at the city gate rushing over in a panic.
"Reporting…reporting to the general, a large army is charging towards us!”
"Army?"
"How many of them are there?" Duan Wei frowned and asked.”
"A lot, as far as the eye can see, black…black mass.”
"What?"
Duan Wei narrowed his eyes.
Who was it?
With such great courage, they actually invaded Lu Yang with their army. This was looking for trouble with Cao Gong!
Yuan Shao?
But shouldn't Yuan Shao come from the north? Why would they come from the south, from his Lu Yang?
However, he did not have much time to think about it now.
Because a loud noise had already come from the top of the city wall.
Rumble! Rumble!
Duan Simmer's eyes widened as he raised his saber high.
"Pass down the order. All troops, attack and prepare to meet the enemy!!”
"Report!"
As soon as Duan Wei finished speaking, he saw another soldier covered in blood riding a fast horse. As he charged, he shouted,
"General, the enemy has already reached the city!”
" What?!"
Duan Wei's face turned grey in an instant. He could not believe his ears.
"Kill them!"
"Follow me and kill our way out!"
Duan Wei roared and mounted his horse, heading towards the city gate.
When he arrived at the city gate, it was already burning with flames and wailing.
In front of them, the black mass of the army was like a flood and a ferocious beast, crushing them. Lu Yang's guards were like ants, either crushed to death or fleeing in all directions…
"Clang!"
Duan Wei's long blade fell to the ground. He suddenly reacted and shouted,"
"Quickly go to Xuchang and request for help! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
The horses galloped in the direction of Xuchang…
"We won't kill those who surrender!"
Cao Jun's cold voice sounded from the top of Lu Yang's city wall.
Hualala!
The soldiers guarding the city were scared out of their wits. They threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground.
Duan Wei was still standing there in a daze. He looked at Cao Jun who was riding towards him and asked through gritted teeth,""Who exactly are you? Why did you attack my Lu Yang?"
"Cao Jun," Cao Jun said in a dense voice.
"Cao Jun, you are Cao Jun!"
Duan Wei's expression changed drastically as he stared at Cao Jun."Cao Jun, take advantage of the time when the lord is resisting Yuan Shao! You want to seize my lord's city? You're so cunning, so ruthless…"
Puchi!
Before Duan Wei could finish his words, a silver spear with a cold glint had already pierced through his heart, causing him to fall straight down.
"Split into three groups and act according to the original plan!”
With Cao Jun's command, the thirty thousand strong army turned into three long dragons and headed in their original direction.
Rumble!
Smoke and dust billowed, and his aura surged into the sky.
From this moment on, the entire Lu Yang was no longer peaceful…
……
Xuchang.
In Cao Pi's residence.
"Haha!"
Sima Yi laughed out loud." I must congratulate you, Second Young Master. The Duke of Cao has entrusted the task of protecting Xuchang to you. It can be seen how much he relies on you!"”
"Haha!"
Cao Pi's laughter echoed.
"If Second Young Master can guard Xuchang well, when Cao Gong returns, I think the position of the eldest son will be close.”
"Haha!"
Cao Pi burst into laughter again. After a while, he asked in confusion,""Sir, can father really defeat Yuan Shao?”
Sima Yi took a sip of tea and said leisurely,""Although Yuan Shao has many soldiers and generals, Yuan Shao is a carefree person who is not good at listening or making decisions. Even if Cao Gong cannot defeat Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao cannot touch Cao Gong at all!”
The more Cao Pi listened, the brighter his eyes became. However, he did not forget to cup his hands and say,""If everything is as you say, I will rely on you in the future!”
Sima Yi nodded. His brows were filled with the confidence that he had everything under control.
But at this moment.
A haggard and disheveled knight was galloping over on his horse.
"Report! Lu Yang reported urgently! It's urgent!"
Hearing this, Cao Pi frowned. Sima Yi, who was beside him, also looked puzzled.
"Pass!"
Then, the disheveled knight was brought to Cao Pi.
"What's so urgent?"
"Second Young Master, Lu Yang…Lu Yang has been breached!”
" What?!"
Cao Pi felt as if he had been hit in the head. He immediately asked,"Who is so daring to plot against Lu Yang?”
The knight looked troubled.
"Speak!"
"This subordinate does not know. When this subordinate came, Lu Yang had already been breached!”
Cao Pi wanted to ask more questions, but Sima Yi said,"
"How many troops are there?"
"I don't know the details, but looking at the black mass of people, there are at least tens of thousands of them!”
"Alright, I understand. You can leave now.”
Sima Yi muttered to himself for a moment, then ordered the messenger to retreat. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, revealing a rare look of fear,"
"Second Young Master, I'm afraid something bad has happened!”
