Outside Changku City, Kou Feng met Ma Teng, met Ma Chao, Yan Xing, and Pang De, and first entered the city to rest.

Then, someone asked someone to draft an edict.

Ma Teng was appointed as the Marquis of Qianhu, General of Cheqi and Cavalry, and the three departments of the founding of the Mansion, and one Mansion was granted to the General's Mansion, outside Chang'an City, and tens of acres of fertile land. These are all empty positions and do not have real power.

It was Ma Chao, Yan Xing and Pang De who led 10,000 troops and were granted the title of general.

In addition, Kou Feng also reorganized some troops in Changku City. A total of 106,000 troops, of which 6,000 were found. Kou Feng found a general, supplemented Zhang Fei, and guarded Hulao Pass.

The remaining 100,000 is the number of troops sent by Kou Feng to Xiliang.

Kou Feng led his army to camp in Changku for a day, and early the next morning, he led Pang Tong, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Pang De, Yan Xing and others to send 100,000 troops to Xiliang.

At this moment, the whole world is in a battle.

Lu Xun led his troops to fight Zhang Liao in Youzhou, and they won and lost each other. However, there was no substantial progress, and Zhang Liao defended very well.

Huang Zhong led his troops to fight Xiahouji in Xuzhou, and there was a victory or defeat between them and no substantial progress.

When it was Xu Shu, Wancheng, he led his army to occupy Gu Chuan.

At this moment, Cao Cao personally led 20,000 cavalry to the south, in Xudu City. 20,000 cavalry, plus 50,000 infantry, to fight against Xu Shu's 50,000 army, there is a certain chance of winning.

Even if you can't win, you won't lose.

However, Cao Cao was a turtle with his head and did not ask for a fight in the city. It was not that Cao Cao did not dare to fight, but because Cao Cao was waiting for the situation in the northwest.

Waiting for the result of the battle between Ma Teng and Cao Hong and Kou Feng.

If it was Ma Teng and Cao Hong who failed, it would be unnecessary to say that defeating Xu Shu at this time would have no meaning. If it was Ma Teng and Cao Hong who won, then Xu Shu would automatically retreat.

Fighting or not fighting is actually meaningless.

In Xudu City, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao, Jia Xu and Xun and two of them played chess in the study.

Among them, Cao Cao and Xun may be fighting each other, and Jia Xu is watching. It’s not that Cao Cao is too leisurely, but that he wants to use this to relieve the pressure.

The war in the northwest is the most critical step. No matter success or failure, it is enough to change the situation in the world. Even if you are as powerful as Cao Cao, it is very stressful.

"Haha, Wenruo lost."

Cao Cao put a piece on the chessboard, laughed and said.

"It's still Ming Gong's chess game that is better." Xun Ren smiled slightly and raised his fist and said.

This is a gentleman's chess game. Xun may not deliberately lose because of Cao Cao's high position and power. It is indeed Cao Cao's chess game and outstanding ability.

"Haha." Cao Cao smiled again, very happy.

Xun Or has excellent chess skills, and the two often play games and understand each other. It is really a difficult thing to beat Xun Or, but now in many difficult situations, they have won Xun Or once.

Cao Cao really felt a little accomplished.

But this little pleasure lasted for a moment. Cao Cao sighed and said, "If we can defeat Kou Feng once in this game of the world like Wen Ruo and restore the decline, it would be really time to laugh."

A small win over Kou Feng once and reversed the decline. This is Cao Cao’s biggest expectation now. He does not seek a big victory in the northwest, but only seeks a small victory once.

To cleanse up the shame of encountering Kou Feng, change the decline and reverse the situation.

Cao Cao was still a little looking forward to this. After all, he sent the tiger and leopard cavalry out, not to let Kou Feng eat it, but to win.

"Fifty thousand tigers and leopard cavalry are the best in the world, I believe they have achieved success." Xun Ren comforted with a smile.

Xun also has confidence, and the tiger and leopard cavalry is the best in the world. Cao Hong's ability is not weak, plus the army of 180,000 including Ma Teng and Yan Xing.

Even if Kou sealed the defending Yi County, he would have a great chance of winning.

"I hope so."

Cao Cao said with a smile.

Then, Cao Cao and Xun Gu said a few more words, stood up and said to Jia Xu, "Come on, Wenhe and Wenruo have a fight."

Jia Xu, if Cao Cao doesn't ask him, he usually doesn't speak. Just now, Cao Cao talks with Xun, and Jia Xu stood there like a piece of wood.

"No." Jia Xu responded to his promise, replaced Cao Cao's position just now, and began to fight with Xun Or.

"Zi Lian, don't let Brother Wei down."

Cao Cao was watching the battle, but his mind had already floated to the northwest. I hope Cao Hong could defeat the last time.

Yingchuan County has been a place with outstanding people and beautiful places since ancient times.

Among Cao Wei, Xun Or, Xun You, Chen Qun, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others all came from Guchuan County. In addition to these famous ones, some of the other Cao Wei advisers also came from Guchuan.

He is known as the counselor of the world, and more than half of them are from Gu Chuan.

It is conceivable how awesome Guchuan County is.

But when Xu Shu's 50,000 troops headed north, Gu'jun was handed over to Xu Shu by Cao Wei. There were two reasons, one of which was that the battle was in the northwest, and the other was that Yingchuan County was easy to attack and difficult to defend.

After Xu Shu took Gu ", he led 30,000 troops to camp in Yingyin, the capital of Ying, and hired 20,000 troops to station in Guyang, and served as a special force to build defense.

At this moment, in Guyin City.

Xu Shu led generals such as Wei Yan, Shamoke, and Li Yan to patrol the city walls. Gu Yin is a big city that can station troops. The soldiers also seemed to be very morale because they occupied Yingchuan County.

Walking on the city wall, Xu Shu felt very relieved.

"Morany is good. Just wait for your Majesty to send good news to the northwest and you can join forces to attack Xu Du." Wei Yan was also very happy and couldn't help but say.

"Xu has 50,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 cavalry, which is difficult to attack without 200,000 troops. I guess it may take some time." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Oh?" Wei Yan was a little confused.

"The Qiang cavalry is here. Your Majesty will definitely settle the foreign enemy before he will come back to fight Cao Cao to the death." Xu Shu explained with a smile. Not only did Pang Tong understand Kou Feng, but Xu Shu also knew Kou Feng very well.

According to principles, the internal situation must be settled first when fighting against foreign countries, but the way the enemy acts independently is so.

"Yeah." Wei Yan, Shamoke, Li Yan and others couldn't help but nodded, thinking that it made sense. When Kou Feng was in Jiangxia, he dared to use the troops of the five counties to destroy the Wuxi barbarians first.

What's more, now, when there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in several states, the little Qiang tribe dares to be arrogant, and it will definitely be unhappy if it is destroyed.

"Anyway, whether you are late or early, Your Majesty will definitely win. Let's transport the food first. Let's talk about it. The battle with Cao Wei may require a protracted battle." Then, Xu Shu said solemnly.

Although Cao Cao seemed to be quite miserable, Xu Shu still retained some fear of Cao Cao and did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

"No." The generals all agreed.

"It must be a big victory." Xu Shu turned his head, looked at the northwest, and thought to himself. Unlike Cao Cao, Xu Shu believed that Kou Feng would definitely win and would definitely win.

Not long ago, northwest.

Inside Hulao Pass.

Zhang Fei led 10,000 elite troops and successfully captured Hulao Pass after a short period of fighting. It was like Zhang Fei attacking Chang'an, Dongguan and Luoyang along the way.

Because Cao Hong is in the northwest, the garrisons of these cities and passes are very rare. From this we can see that Cao Cao's confidence in the tiger and leopard cavalry.

I'm afraid I never thought that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would fail.

At this moment, Hulao is closed.

Zhang Fei led some generals to inspect the pass. Although it was very smooth, Cao's army also had a certain resistance. There were still pools of blood on the pass.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei stopped, looked southeast, and said, "There is a Rongyang City ahead, who will take it?"

"General, Your Majesty just told the general to seize Hulao Pass, and did not ask the general to continue attacking Rongyang." Some general dissuaded.

"Your Majesty still doesn't know that the Right Army General Xu Shu has occupied Gu Chuan. If you conquer Rongyang, you can join forces with Gu Chuan and strengthen your momentum. When I set off, Your Majesty didn't know this. Now that I know, I will definitely not miss this fighter. Who dares to dissuade me from using military law to deal with it?" Zhang Fei said courageously.

"promise."

The general dared not say anything else, and Yingnuo retreated.

Immediately, a general asked to go to the battle. Zhang Fei divided three thousand elite soldiers and some food, so he asked him to go. Soon after, three thousand elite soldiers came out of the pass and attacked Rongyang.

"This time, it's probably a huge momentum."

On the pass, Zhang Fei looked at the three thousand elite soldiers to the southeast and said with a smile.

Don't let go of Cao Mengde.

Zhang Fei thought to himself that Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei to go against Cao Cao, but later followed Kou Feng, and also went against Cao Cao. Basically, Zhang Fei was in a hostile relationship with Cao Cao.

If you can bully Cao Cao, Zhang Fei will never be ruthless.

Zhang Fei captured Hulao Pass and further occupied Rongyang. Of course, this could not be hidden from Xu Shu's eyes and ears.

At this moment, as soon as Xu Shu inspected the city wall and returned to the prefect's mansion, a spy came to report: "Report to the general, and later General Zhang Fei led 10,000 elite troops to occupy Hulao Pass, and divided 3,000 troops to station in Rongyang."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty has won."

Wei Yan laughed loudly and said.

"The time for the war is here." Shamoko also said with a finger.

"Hehe." Li Yan smiled and was also very happy.

"No hurry, I guess I just occupied the favorable pass of Hulao Pass first. Your Majesty himself is still in the northwest." Xu Shu smiled slightly and insisted on his judgment.

This disappointed the three generals a little.
