Chapter 144 Cao Cao: I can’t imagine how he will lose!(1/3)
Outside Xuchang City.
Cao Cao personally led an army of 150,000 people and marched westward from Xuchang.
In less than half a day, the army had already marched thirty miles away.
At this time, the 150,000-strong army looked like a long dragon from a distance.
The black Cao flag flutters in the wind.
Xuchang is not very far from Wancheng. Even if the march is slow, it will only take a day or two.
The army marched westward, and Cao Cao's goal in the first battle was to pull out the nail in Wancheng.
With half a million troops on this trip, Cao Cao was so satisfied that he didn't know how to lose.
He led an army of 150,000 and planned to march to Wancheng first.
Xiahou Dun followed his order and led the remaining 350,000 troops to march from another route to Sili Chang'an and other places.
At this time, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were following Cao Cao, one on the left and one on the right.
Xun You, Cheng Yu and others are not far behind Cao Cao.
Because Jueying had given it to Xi Yu a long time ago, Cao Cao was riding his other favorite horse, Huang Feidian.
This horse has a mighty height and is covered in orange. It looks quite powerful from a distance.
Cao Cao was sitting on it, but he was not much shorter than Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
"Dian Wei, you will follow me in this battle. If there is a war, I will rely on you!"
Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei and expressed relief to Dian Wei.
The latter laughed innocently and nodded.
Xu Chu doesn’t have any objections.
Since he followed Cao Cao, he has made many meritorious deeds, large and small.
Dian Wei is Mr. Xi's bodyguard after all, and Cao Cao's bodyguard is only him after all.
The army moves forward.
Cao Cao looked at the surrounding fields and felt quite emotional.
It has been more than eight years since he first dispersed his family wealth from Chen Liu and raised an army.
From the prefect of Dongjun, to the pastor of Yanzhou, and now occupying the land of two states, he is ingratiating himself with the emperor like Xuchang.
The past eight years seemed to Cao Cao like a blink of an eye.
But now, sitting on the land of two states, he also has the name of emperor.
He has already begun to have the ability to change the general trend of the world.
In this battle, if we can capture all the land in Guanzhong and connect it horizontally, what will happen next will only be between the north and the south.
Cao Cao's mind wavered.
The breeze is blowing gently at this moment, which is cool.
It’s good weather for marching.
He didn't say much to Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
Behind them, Xun You and Cheng Yu were discussing something in a low voice, but Cao Cao didn't care.
Not long after, suddenly a scout came to report that there was a horse coming from the direction of Xuchang.
After hearing the report, Cao Cao, Xun You and others were a little confused.
This army has just set out not long ago, why is there a cavalry coming from Xuchang?
I wonder what happened.
After thinking about it, Cao Cao led the army to continue marching forward. He, Dian Wei and others slowly followed behind the army.
The speed has slowed down.
Not long after, Cao Cao looked behind him, and sure enough, within his line of sight, there was a dark shadow vaguely galloping towards this side.
As the dark shadow got closer and closer, Cao Cao quickly recognized it.
That is the absolute shadow.
After all, it was one of his favorite mounts. When he gave it to Xi Yu, he was still somewhat reluctant to part with it.
Seeing Jueying appear now, Cao Cao reacted instantly.
Anyone who can ride Jueying here at this time must be Xiyu.
Sure enough, as he approached, Xi Yu's figure was reflected in the pupils of Cao Cao and others.
"Fengyi?"
About ten feet away, Cao Cao shouted towards Xi Yu.
Hearing the voice of the sermon, the horse is full of joy.
"Brother!"
After seeing that Cao Cao and others were waiting for him, Xi Yu was not surprised at all.
The army is marching out, and there are spies in all directions.
Cao Cao and others knew that he was chasing him from Xuchang, which was normal.
Before Xi Yu could speak, Cao Cao in front of him had already dismounted.
"Fengyi, why are you here?"
After getting off the horse, Cao Cao asked with a smile, and then a smile appeared on his face as if he thought of something.
It’s hard to say that Xi Yu plans to go on the expedition with him this time?
Has this guy finally realized that he is actually a peerless general?
Cao Cao was a little happy, and the smile on his face became a little fuller.
Cheng Yu, Xun You and the others didn't feel that way. They just thought that maybe Xi Yu had something important that he forgot to mention, so they caught up with him.
Dian Wei beside him was also a little confused.
However, at this time, he did not follow suit.
Xi Yu then dismounted, then looked at the surrounding fields, walked in front of Cao Cao in two or three steps, and then took a deep breath.
"Brother, I suddenly remembered something and forgot to tell you!"
Xi Yu thought for a moment, then paused and continued.
"This time in Wancheng, brother, you must not put yourself in a trap. This time there are Zixiu and others following you, brother, please be more cautious!"
Uh!
Cao Cao was a little stunned.
He originally thought that Xi Yu rushed over because he wanted to go on the expedition with him.
You can imagine that the other party caught up with you, but just wanted to tell you to be careful.
What is there to be careful about?
Cao Cao has fought many battles for so many years.
What's more, there are 150,000 troops on the side this time. Isn't it easy to attack a mere Wancheng?
In Cao Cao's view, Xi Yu's worries are completely unnecessary.
"Fengyi, you came after me like this just to remind me about this?"
Cao Cao didn't take it seriously and asked casually.
Xi Yu nodded instinctively. Seeing that there was nothing else, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.
This guy Fengyi is really too cautious!
Thinking like this, Cao Cao raised his hand and slapped Xi Yu's chest.
"You kid, you think too much!"
"Although he has superior force, Cao naturally still has some concerns about fighting."
"In this battle, I will let Fengyi see what it means to be able to fight in the blink of an eye!"
Cao Cao was full of confidence, but Xi Yu was a little speechless.
I know you are good at war.
However, what I am worried about is not whether you will fight or not, but whether you can control your legs.
