"The lord seems to be in trouble. Until now, the lord has not come back."

Tian Feng besieged Yijing Fortress, while Xu Tian had been attacking the dungeon for more than ten days.

As winter approaches, the river begins to freeze, and Cao Cao's forces are also ready to move.

Cao Cao, who lacked the navy, could only invade Jizhou with this opportunity.

"Sun Jian is guarding Liyang, and Cao Cao wants to conquer Jizhou, it is not that simple."

Le Yi and Tian Feng stood side by side, looking at the standing Yijing Fortress.

The first city wall of Yijing Fortress has almost been demolished by catapults and general artillery, and it will only take a matter of time before the first city wall is captured.

At Liyanggang, Sun Jian led military generals such as Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zhu Zhi to observe the gradually frozen Yellow River.

The Jizhou Navy's tower ships, turtle ships and other ships have returned to the port to moor, waiting for the Yellow River to be lifted out of the next year.

There is one thing that is not good at training navy troops in the north, that is, the river surface is frozen and the enemy cavalry can cross the Yellow River at any time. At this time, the navy's advantage is gone.

"The cold winter has arrived and may continue for several months."

Sun Jian's face was solemn.

The Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms were in the Little Ice Age, with wars and horses chaotic, and the cold winter lasted longer and had a greater impact. Even the Huai River and the Han River could freeze.

Cheng Pu said: "Cao Cao may divide his troops to cross the river, especially attacking the empty defense of Hanoi County."

"Niu Fu should be guarding Hanoi County, right? This person always gives me an unreliable feeling."

Sun Jian knew that Niu Fu gathered Dong Zhuo's old subordinates in Hanoi County, but Niu Fu always pulled his pants at critical moments. Therefore, Sun Jian and others generally believed that Niu Fu was not very reliable.

But Niu Fu is in Dong Zhuo's power and Xu Tian's power. Because of Dong Zhuo's identity as a son-in-law, he can still be used, and his life is very comfortable, which is very wonderful.

Niu Fu convened more than 100,000 former subordinates of Dong Zhuo in Hanoi County.

Dong Zhuo died in Hanoi County, and his troops also collapsed to various parts of Hanoi County.

Although most of Dong Zhuo's old subordinates were taken away by the Western Liang warlords Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, the old subordinates still had their troops scattered here and became bandits. I heard that Niu Fu, who inherited Dong Zhuo's will, was in Hanoi County, so they came to meet one after another.

Dong Zhuo's generals of the Western Liang army were not only Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Meng, Wang Fang and other generals.

Li Meng and Wang Fang went into exile to the surrounding mountains. After finding out that the situation had stabilized, they led their troops out.

Li Meng and Wang Fang originally wanted to see if they had the opportunity to become a prince of the country, but Lu Bu and the King of Guns of the North quickly pacified Guanzhong, Cao Cao marched into Luoyang, Xu Tian annexed the Henei County and Hedong County, and each took the needs.

Li Meng and Wang Fang found that no matter which force they were, they could not afford to provoke.

Moreover, I continued to hide in the mountains, the mountains were covered with heavy snow, and the food was almost finished.

If food is short, their tribes will immediately collapse.

Li Meng, Wang Fang and others, who really had no choice, defected to the main general Niu Fu nearby.

"After the death of the lord, we both wanted to avenge the Lord's Communiqué, but unfortunately we lacked troops, so we gathered our troops in the mountains."

"I heard that the general is here, so I came to surrender. I hope the general will take us in!"

Li Meng and Wang Fang clasped their fists and asked Niu Fu to join.

Niu Fu seemed to be doing well in Xu Tian's power, and was even represented by Xu Tian as the prefect of Hanoi and the general of the army.

"Very good, you will be my Niu Fu's deputy in the future."

Niu Fu could not control the ambitious Four Heavenly Kings of Xiliang, but he could still shock Li Meng and Wang Fang.

"Thank you, General!"

"I would also like to ask the general to write a letter to Lord Mu of Jizhou to ask him to forgive us for his crimes."

"You go and find my chief secretary, Xue Hong, and let him write for you."

Niu Fu is too lazy to write, and is actually not good at writing, so he is no different from ghost painting talismans.

Xue Hong was the chief secretary of the prince Zhang Yang. Later, Zhang Yang was annexed by Yuan Shao. After Xu Tian defeated Yuan Shao, Xue Hong turned to Xu Tian.

There are a few loyal civil and military officials, and most civil and military officials are still wandering among various forces. Anyway, whoever forces to surrender to whom will still be prosperous.

After Xue Hong surrendered to Xu Tian, ​​Xu Tian sent him to the familiar Hanoi County and served as the chief minister of Hanoi, assisting Niu Fu in recruiting Dong Zhuo's remaining generals.

Niu Fu led his troops to the battlefield of Chaoge's battle and gathered Dong Zhuo's old subordinates while being ordered to find a prop, Wang Mang's head.

The two magical artifacts that Dong Zhuo owns are Chixiao Sword and Wang Mang's head. Among them, Chixiao Sword was obtained by Xu Tian, ​​but Wang Mang's head was unknown.

Niu Fu buried Dong Zhuo's body and came to worship the hero with Dong Zhuo's daughter.

However, Niu Fu got nothing.

"I don't know who the leader of Wang Mang is in his hands, so maybe he will have a lot of trouble in the future."

Although Niu Fu is a rash general, after Dong Zhuo's cultivation, he has learned a lot and still knows the destructive power brought by Wang Mang's head.

Wang Mang's head is a magical weapon, not a consumable.

In the Chaoge battle, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and everyone fought for the Chixiao Sword. The scene was extremely chaotic, and it might be possible that Wang Mang's head was snatched away by any prince or general of Xiliang.

It is also possible that Dong Zhuo did not bring Wang Mang's head to Chaoge to fight.

"General, we are deployed to the scouts along the Yellow River and discovered that there was a Cao army crossing the river in the wind and snow!"

Niu Fu led his troops to investigate the whereabouts of Wang Mang's head. A Xiliang cavalry broke into the camp and reported to Niu Fu the movements of Cao's army.

"Cao Cao underestimated our Xiliang Army too much. I, Niu Fu, was in charge of Henei County, how could Cao Cao be arrogant!"

Niu Fu's military equipment book "Wei Liaozi" has greatly increased its command value. He heard that Cao Cao, who was from the eunuch family, dared to invade, and was furious and decided to lead the Western Liang cavalry to train Cao Cao in military training.

“…”

Li Meng and Wang Fang looked at each other and wiped the cold sweat. They knew how much Niu Fu was.

Niu Fu can defeat Baibo's army when he attacks Baibo's army, let alone challenge Cao Cao, who is now the governor of Yanzhou.

Li Meng said hesitantly: "General, it is better to ask for help from the Jizhou Governor's Headquarters before rising up to resist Cao Cao. If he loses, he can still obtain reinforcements."

"This statement is reasonable. Li Meng, you are worthy of being a general with both wisdom and courage. You are still above me. People come to ask for help from the Jizhou Governor."

Niu Fu immediately sent cavalry to Yecheng for help, and personally led more than 100,000 former troops of Dong Zhuo who had been summoned to fight against Cao's army.

The Yellow River is frozen and the snow is flying. The Cao army flag is rushing in the north wind. Teams of Cao army infantry are setting off the road ahead, with cavalry with persistent savages behind them, and even tiger and leopard cavalry as the ace of Yanzhou army.

The snowflakes fell on the iron armor of the tiger and leopard supervisor Cao Chun, and Cao Chun's murderous aura directly shattered the snowflakes.

Beside Cao Chun, there is Cao Ren, the general of Cao army.

Compared with Cao Chun, who is the elite cavalry captain, Cao Ren is the truly independent general.
