Besides, Cao Cao personally led a 100,000 army to rescue Chenliu, for fear that after Chenliu City was captured by the Big Bear Army, his Yanzhou would be over. With Yuzhou and Qingzhou, there would be little population and the economic development would not be good. If you want these two states to develop as soon as possible, it would take some time to do so. After all, Yanzhou is the foundation of Lao Cao, and he dares to be careless.

When Lao Cao quickly led the army to Chenliu, Zhang He and Hao Zhao's army had long lost its traces. The city of Chenliu was surrounded by peace, which made Cao Cao feel very angry. He sprayed Lu Ning's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, and knew that he had been teased by Lu Ning. The direction of the Big Bear Army's attack was not Qingzhou or Yanzhou at all. These detailed attacks were all about dragging down their army and not being able to rescue Sizhou. The Big Bear Army's purpose was to eat Sizhou.

Xun You sighed and said, "Lord, we were fooled by Big Bear. Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Hao Zhao all came to restrain our army, for fear that our army would dispatch troops to reinforce Sizhou. But there was no way. Big Bear army had war horses to carry on, and they were one man and three horses. Their mobility was too strong. Our army could keep up with their pace with two legs."

After hearing this, Cheng Yu shook his head and said dejectedly: "Yes, lord, the Big Bear Army has sufficient war horses, and even infantry use war horses to transport. Its mobility is indeed too strong. Our army is helpless. If our army does not rescue, the detailed attack may turn into a real attack. Our army cannot save it, so we can only let the Big Bear Army lead the nose."

Cao Ang said in an atmosphere: "Father, this big bear is too despicable and shameless, which has made our army run so many detours. Since our army has arrived in Chenliu, we cannot easily bypass Big Bear. We also have to give him some color to let him know that our army doesn't tease him as long as he wants to. Besides, Big Bear is the first to provoke the war, and he attacks our Sizhou first. This is morally reasonable for our army."

After hearing this, Xun You asked, "Does your son mean to attack Guandu? But now our army has lost Hulao Pass, after Sishui Pass, Guandu, Hulao and Sishui have become a siege-rejecting force, and it is not easy to capture it. Besides, if our army really attacks Guandu, then it will completely turn against Daxiong, without any room for anything."

After hearing this, Cao Ang said, "Gongda, it was the Big Bear Army who provoked us first. Why did it mean that our army provoked them?"

Xun You smiled and said, "Young Master, Big Bear attacked Luoyang, which was told to Wen Ruoming, but we did not get the consent of our army. We still made various speculations at that time. In fact, Big Bear knew us very well and knew that our army would rescue him in detail. Besides, Guandu can have a 10,000 army stationed by Hao Zhao. I heard that Guandu City has also become a urn city, which is not easy to deal with. Once we can't capture it for a long time, our army will be in danger. I would recommend defending Chenliu City, which is the best strategy."

Cao Cao calmed down the anger in his heart, looked up at everyone before saying, "Although Guandu is very important to our army, it is impossible to break through in a short period of time. The information I received did confirm that Guandu is now a urn city and its defense ability has been greatly improved."

Cheng Yu glanced at Lao Cao and said worriedly: "Lord, Guandu is right in front of you. Why don't our army attack tentatively and understand Guandu's defense ability. After all, our army will definitely fight against Daxiong in the future. It will be beneficial to master Guandu's defense ability in advance."

After hearing this, Cao Ang said, "Yes, father, let alone our army has the Pili chariot developed by Ziyang. I don't believe that I can't break Xiaoxiao and Guandu City."

After hearing this, Liu Ye said, "Lord, the Big Bear Army also has a thunderbolt chariot, and it was developed before our army. I wonder if our army's thunderbolt chariot can have better performance than the Big Bear Army? I don't know this, nor have I compared it. But judging from the weapons and equipment produced by Big Bear, it should not be worse than our army, and it will even be better. After all, Big Bear and their craft production capacity are too strong."

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "Gongda, do you think our army is right to attack Guandu?"

Xun You looked up at Lao Cao and said, "My lord, I object to doing this. First, if you don't master the war well, you will escalate; and our army's possession of a thunderbolt car will be exposed to the world. In the future, the opponent will be vigilant, which is not conducive to our army's next action. This is not worth the loss. Of course, if the lord insists on a trial attack, you must master the timing and must not go fire. You must be within the control of our army."

After hearing this, Cao Cao said, "Then let's be prepared and go and try it out in a few days."

The preparations for Cao Cao's army to attack Guandu were just completed and was about to send troops to test the attack on Guandu, but he received information from Xuchang Xun Yu's quick horse, saying that Xingyang City was captured by Taishi Ci and Ju Su's army, and Xingyang City had fallen into Lu Ning's bag. What shocked Cao Cao the most was that the 10,000 troops guarding Xingyang City lost the city before they even defended it for an hour.

However, after Xia Houshang fled back to Xuchang with dozens of his subordinates, he immediately went to see Cao Cao, and Lao Cao led a large army outside, not in Xuchang. Xia Houshang did not dare to make mistakes, so he had to go to see Xun Yu.

Xun Yu felt depressed when he saw Xia Hou Shangshi, saying, "What are you doing when you come to Xuchang?" "General Xia Hou, why are you not stationed in Xingyang City? Why are you doing when you run to Xuchang?"

Xia Houshang replied with a sigh: "Mr. Wenruo, Xingyang City is in a trap. Now it is occupied by Taishici, the subordinate of Daxiong. I can only come back to report to my lord, but my lord is not here, so I have to report to you."

Xun Yu was shocked when he heard this. The city of Xingyang was lost? It was seized by the big bear? Why was there no news before? "General Xia Hou. Why didn't you send the information in time? Why did you wait until the city was lost before reporting?"

Xia Houshang smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Wenruo, why should I send it? Xingyang City has not been able to hold it for an hour, so it would be too late to send information if you have time."

Xun Yu looked up and said, "You said that the 10,000 troops in Xingyang City had not defended for an hour? How many troops did Taishi Ci bring to attack the city? How could this be possible? The 10,000 troops could not defend for an hour. Could it be that you gave up on your own initiative, right?"

Xia Houshang was so amused that he could not help but shake his head and said, "Mr. Wenruo, why should I fight back? Taishici has an army of 20,000. He pressed my uncle General Xiahou Yuan to the front of the formation. As long as I order a fight back, my uncle will be lifeless."

After hearing this, Xun Yu said, "You said General Miaocai is still alive?"

Xia Houshang said: "Yes! He was captured by Taishi Ci, and he was pressed under the Xingyang city wall as a shield."

Xun Yu asked, "What about the 10,000 troops in your hands? Could it be that the game was over?"

Xia Houshang lowered his head and whispered: "The 10,000 troops are all over. I have no choice. The speed is too fast and I don't even have a chance to retreat. Our army has no room for fighting back. It is pressed by the opponent's crossbow arrows so that it can't even lift its head. As long as a soldier emerges, he will be shot and killed by the Big Bear Army crossbowmen."

Xun Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "Then you go home and rest first, and you will give a detailed report when your lord comes back. I will give the situation to the lord immediately with a fast horse. It's so terrifying! The strength of the Big Bear Army is even stronger than we imagined, so that the lord will be more careful and save you from suffering losses."

After reading the information sent by Xun Yu, Cao Cao opened his mouth wide and Guan Tian didn't even speak. After a long time, he said, "Look at it. This is the information sent by Wen Ruogang to Kuaima. Xingyang City was captured by Taishi Ci's army."

After reading the information, the civil and military officials under Cao Cao did not speak out. Finally, Cao Ang said: "This is too fast. The 10,000 army has not been defended for an hour. What kind of army are they?"

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun said, "This is impossible. The 10,000 troops in Yishu City cannot defend for an hour. How is this possible? Could it be that the Big Bear Army is a god? Even if Taishi Ci uses his talent as a shield, it is impossible to break through the city in one hour."

Xun You said: "General Yuan Rang not only had the city been broken in one hour, but also had even destroyed 10,000 troops to defend the city, which is terrifying. Taishi Ci only had 20,000 troops in his hands, and the intelligence said that 10,000 of the Flying Bears Army had basically not taken action, and it was done with just 10,000 violent bears."

After reading the information, Cheng Yu was also surprised and had to say worriedly: "Lord, is our army still ready to attack in Guandu?"

Xun You immediately continued: "Lord, our army can no longer attack Guandu. Once the army is restrained in Chenliu, Xuchang will be in danger. Xuchang does not have many soldiers now. If Taishici is raided again, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Liu Ye also said: "Lord, Gongda is right. Guandu can no longer attack. Now, ensuring the safety of Xuchang is more important than anything else. There are emperors and ministers in the court. If the emperors and ministers in the court are taken away by the dividend big bear, then we will have big trouble. Lu Ning will naturally imitate us by wielding the emperor to order the princes."

Cheng Yu also said: "Lord, the Big Bear Army is full of magic and is too mobile. We have not fully understood his intention to fight yet. It is more important to return to defend Xuchang. Guandu is temporarily slowed down and it is not too late to recover Guandu when he has the opportunity in the future."

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao immediately made a quick decision and said, "Yuan Rang, I will give you another army. You will lead 50,000 troops to station in Chenliu. You must be careful and strictly prevent the Big Bear Army from raiding. Chenliu is our frontier position. There will be a big war at any time and will be attacked by the Big Bear Army at any time. I can't figure out what Lu Ning is thinking, but as long as you defend it closely, it's enough."

Xiahou Dun shouted loudly: "Please don't worry, lord, I will definitely guard Chenliu City to death. I am in the city. Unless I die, Big Bear will not want to capture Chenliu City."

Cao Cao said: "Other civil and military officials and soldiers followed me back to Xuchang."
