At the same time, Yuan Shao and other Hebei monarchs were happy because of Liu Bei's joining, and formulated a strategy to invite Cao Ang to the urn.

Six hundred miles to the west, Mengjin.

Mengjin is a ferry on the bank of the Yellow River, northeast of Luoyang and due north of the Beimang Mountains.

To the north of Mengjin, across half of Hanoi County, is Shangdang County in Bingzhou.

When King Wu attacked Zhou, it was here that Mengjin gathered eight hundred princes.

At this time, 210,000 troops were facing each other across the Yellow River from the north and south of Mengjin, on both sides of the Yellow River!

On the north bank is Yuan Shao's nephew, Bingzhou Governor's 100,000-strong Bingzhou Army. The company camp is mighty, like a tiger descending from a hill.

The area from Shangdang County in Bingzhou to Yewang and Wen County in Hanoi County were all under the control of the Bingzhou Army, threatening Luoyang and Xudu across the Yellow River.

On the south bank, the main force of Cao Cao's army, 110,000, led by Cao Cao himself, was stationed at Mengjinguan, backed by Beimang Mountain, and was ready.

The strength of the two sides was roughly equal, and neither side was weak, so they did not initiate a decisive battle for a while, and just faced each other across the river.

In the middle of Mengjin Pass on the south bank, Cao Cao's tent is located.

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin, Zhang Xiu and other counselors and generals were not discussing military plans.

Instead, they sat in the tent one by one, bored.

During this time since he went north, Cao Cao and Guo Jia had not never sought a decisive battle with the Bingzhou Army of senior officials.

But Gao Gan is not a simple person. Although he is Yuan Shao's nephew, he is much more reliable than Yuan Shao's sons.

The north bank of the Yellow River was guarded like an iron barrel, so that Cao Cao could not easily cross the river to fight, otherwise he would risk being attacked halfway across the river.

At the same time, the senior officials were also wary based on the previous tactics of Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son, who were good at secretly infiltrating Chen Cang and making light cavalry raids.

Although he did not take the initiative to attack Cao's army on the south bank, he sent a lot of Bingzhou sentries to randomly cross the river from the upper and lower reaches and cast nets around Cao's camp to monitor.

Prevent Cao Cao from secretly dividing his troops and leaving to support Cao Ang's middle battlefield.

But Cao Cao had no response to this.

It's not that Cao Cao and Guo Jia are incompetent, but that it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

When Cao Ang led an army of five thousand out of Xudu, he took away almost all the horses in Cao's army.

Later, with the continuous capture of horses from the princes, we had the equipment of 5,000 hussars.

But here, Cao Cao couldn't find almost a single horse except for himself, the mounts of some generals and counselors, and the rogue horses that could only pull carts!

There is no organized cavalry.

Even there are some Xiliang cavalry left under Zhang Xiu, but they have no horses and can only be used as infantry.

On the other side, the high-ranking officers on the other side controlled a lot of Bingzhou cavalry.

Bingzhou, like Youzhou and Liangzhou, is a borderland, adjacent to nomadic tribes and grasslands, so it is a place where elite riders and horses are produced.

At the beginning, Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and took control of Ding Yuan's Bingzhou soldiers and horses, including Bingzhou's elite cavalry.

The Yanmen Jingqi led by Zhang Liao was one of the Bingzhou Jingqi.

In this era, Bingzhou Cavalry also had another name, Bingzhou Flying Cavalry!

Because there are many mountains and highlands in Bingzhou, the cavalry that can attack and gallop in such terrain can come and go like the wind, crossing the plains and roaring over the hills.

With this kind of Bingzhou flying cavalry, high-ranking officers often formed a team of more than ten or dozens of cavalry to patrol around Cao Cao's camp, and from time to time they would mount their horses to harass.

As a result, almost all of Cao Cao's actions were under the eyes of the senior cadres. If he made the slightest move to advance, the senior cadres over there would have already received the news, take strict precautions, and attack halfway.

As for the sentry cavalry in Bingzhou, although they were annoying, Cao Cao did not have enough cavalry to counterattack.

You can't just send generals on horseback to chase the enemy cavalry as foot soldiers every time they are harassed by enemy cavalry, right?

Simply, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others lay down here.

He said he was lying down, but in fact he was waiting for news from Cao Ang in the middle, and was preparing to fight with Cao Ang, a big boy.

This also made Cao Cao feel comfortable, but he suddenly realized that although the force he led was said to be the main force of Cao's army, it had become a partial force at some point...

He was such a big boy that he marched out of Xudu with five thousand soldiers and horses. , but now they have gathered two to three hundred thousand troops and become the real main force...

This makes Cao Cao feel a little dumbfounded every time he thinks about it.

But because of this, I felt more at ease lying down.

I, Cao Mengde, have the son of a dragon, a phoenix, and a unicorn. I can sweep through the princes without my help, and compete with Yuan Shao, who has the power of the four states of Hebei. Why bother myself?

No matter how prominent your family background and power are, Yuan Shao, at the beginning, you overpowered me, Cao Cao, in everything.

So what now?

Can’t we only fight with my son, Cao Cao?

As for me, Cao Cao, you, Yuan Shao, have no chance to stand in front of me even if you want to fight in a decisive battle!

Cao Cao thought happily, which sounded like a spiritual victory method.

But he didn't expect that even though he was lying flat at the moment, he was still confronting Yuan Shao's nephew.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, two young friends and destined enemies, did not have the chance to fight each other in the end. Instead, they accidentally faced each other's nephews.……

"Lord, why are you so indifferent.

There is no news from the young master yet. Is he going to deal with Yuan Shao himself again?

In this case, we counselors will not be the salary of the White Lord and his son.

I'm afraid that if this continues, I will be fired by my lord for eating and drinking for free without contributing.……"

Under the tent, Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao lying comfortably and joked with a smile.

Guo Jia originally had the unruly temperament of a bohemian and romantic celebrity. Even when talking to the lord Cao Cao, he was not as strict as others. Cao

Cao immediately made Cao Cao laugh:"Don't worry about your filial piety. Even if you are a white-collar worker, I will support you for the rest of your life.

As a counselor, you don't have to work hard and make plans. Doesn't it mean that there is nothing wrong in the world?"

This sentence made Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others laugh.

This is indeed true. When will the world not need counselors to make plans and waste brain cells to calculate everything, it means that the world will be fine and peaceful. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Although the world is not truly peaceful yet, they also believe that that day is not far away.

Because Cao Ang, the talented young master with dragon and phoenix talents, is here, all the power in the world is in the hands of that young master!

Even the most resourceful people in the world such as Guo Jia and Jia Xu had never dared to imagine before that they could destroy four princes and dominate half of the country south of the Yellow River in just three months.

I can’t even imagine that Cao Ying’s power, which a few months ago was far less powerful than Yuan Shao and needed to continue to develop for at least a few years, would actually be on par with Yuan Shao’s power a few months later and could compete head-on!

I don’t know since when, everyone in Cao Camp came to a consensus.

That means Master Cao Ang is omnipotent!

As long as Cao Ang is here, the world will surely fall into the hands of Cao Ying!

Then Yuan Shao will definitely be defeated!

Because of this, although Cao Cao's group was restrained by senior officials, Guo Jia and others did not panic at all and lay down peacefully.

Even having fun doing it!

Especially Guo Jia and Jia Xu were delighted.

Guo Jia was a man who enjoyed himself in time and indulged in wanton debauchery. Almost all of the salary and reward given to Lao Cao as a military advisor was spent on drinking and having fun.

He even often had to interrupt his fun-seeking activities because of discussions about debt promotion...

In other words, working part-time affected Guo Jia's play.[]

Now I don’t have to go to work and can just sit back and get my salary. Isn’t it wonderful?

The only fly in the ointment is that during the war, the army is not allowed to drink openly, and there are no women for entertainment...

As for Jia Xu, he is not as dissolute as Guo Jia.

Although Jia Xu is known as a poisonous person in history, he has always been a person who does not offend others unless they offend me.

We abide by the counselor's principles of planning without handing over, asking without asking, and planning with three strategies.

What he wants in his life is to find a wise master who can protect him in troubled times, and to be able to live comfortably and enjoy wealth.

Now in Cao's camp, not only did he have enough food and clothing, but he could also lie down flat. He didn't have to worry about many things, and he no longer had to worry about frequently changing masters and wandering around.

For Jia Xu, this is simply like heaven on earth!

What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Just when Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others were secretly thinking that it would be nice to lie down, Dian Wei walked into the tent from the outside with a Qianli Falcon on his arm:"My lord, there is a letter from the young master."

Seeing this scene, Guo Jiahe Jia Xu suddenly raised his eyebrows and retracted his previous thoughts.

Is this how to live... ten thousand...?
