The atmosphere in Xudu City became more solemn due to the dispatch of the Jin army. Henan Yin was under the control of Cao Jun, which could reassure Xudu officials. When Henan Yin was lost, they felt the urgency of the matter.

At this time, Xu Du's family naturally stood on Cao Cao's side.

The Wancheng army almost succeeded in raiding Wuguan, which made the officials in the DPRK feel excited. This was the first time Cao Jun took the initiative since the war, and the effect was extremely obvious. However, after the enemy army was raided in Wuguan, they chose

A full-scale attack on Xudu.

At this time, it was impossible for Cao Cao to move Xu Du. What he had to do was to block the enemy's attack before Xu Du.

Cao Cao led his troops to garrison Changshe. At this time, there were 90,000 Cao soldiers near Changshe, and 80,000 Jin troops gathered near Xinzheng.

When Yin in Henan was lost and Cao's army suffered heavy losses, the military gap between Cao Cao and Lu Bu was reduced to the greatest extent. With an army of 90,000, they faced an army of 80,000 Jin, including an elite 30,000 Bingzhou Army. Cao Cao's

You can imagine the pressure.

The troops and horses of the Jin State have always been shown to be powerful in front of the princes. Lü Bu's personal expedition can greatly improve the morale of the army. Cao Cao has no doubt about Lü Bu's influence among the army.

Past wars have shown that the Jin army with Lu Bu is extremely formidable.

In fact, after Lu Bu sent 30,000 Bingzhou troops to Henan Yin, Cao Cao became aware of Lu Bu's intentions. After occupying Henan Yin, Chang'an's army only needed to rush to Xinzheng to form a deterrent to Xudu.

Ninety thousand troops were stationed at Changshe, and Lu Qian and Li Dian led ten thousand soldiers and horses to the princes Yangzhai, which was the seat of Yingchuan County.

In the Chinese army's tent, Cao Cao's face was a little solemn. Although the war between the two sides had not begun, between Xinzheng and Changshe, the scouts of both sides had already started a desperate battle. In this battle, who could get more battlefields?

The news on the Internet will have more advantages after the war begins.

Both Cao Cao and Lu Bu have led troops in battles for many years, and they pay special attention to the scouts. In this confrontation between the scouts, Cao's army cannot show weakness.

Over the years, Cao Cao has also paid special attention to the development of cavalry in the army. At this time, there were 1,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, 2,000 tiger and leopard troops, and 3,000 ordinary cavalry near Changshe. The total number of cavalry reached 6,000.

people, and the number of cavalry of the Jin army stationed near Xinzheng reached 8,000.

In terms of the elite level of cavalry, there is a big gap between Cao Cao's cavalry and Jin's cavalry. Cao Cao naturally knows this. Previously, Cao Cao purchased a lot of war horses from Chang'an to equip the army at a huge cost.

In order to reduce the gap with Lu Bu's cavalry at the beginning of the war.

When the two sides are fighting, the cavalry plays a huge role. The cavalry can influence the direction of the situation on the battlefield.

"Lü Bu personally led the army to Xinzheng, and his intention to invade Xudu was clearly revealed. Although our army now has 90,000 people, we must not be negligent in the slightest. Wancheng, Jiangling, and Xuzhou are all in the direction of the enemy's attack. Any one of them

Every time the enemy breaks through, it will bring a huge threat to our army." Cao Cao said.

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, now that the troops and horses of both sides have been mobilized, envoys will be sent to Jiangdong."

Cao Cao nodded slightly. Jiangdong Army had been preparing before. Although Cao Cao was wary of Sun Quan, in this battle, Cao Cao believed that Sun Quan would make a wise choice. If his army was defeated by Lu Bu on the battlefield,

Jiangdong will not be spared. Only after both sides jointly defeat Lu Bu can they continue to survive.

At this time, Cao Cao could only choose to trust Jiangdong Army. There were only a small number of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou to defend Jiangdong Army. If Sun Quan had the intention to invade Jingzhou, it would be difficult to effectively defend Jingzhou with the current defenders.

In order to allow Jiangdong's army to participate in this war, Cao Cao even promised Jingzhou to Jiangdong. As long as he could defeat the Jin army, Jingzhou would fall into Jiangdong's hands. There is no doubt that Sun Quan coveted Jingzhou.

"It is imperative to send envoys to Jiangdong, and we must carefully investigate the enemy's situation. Now that the scouts of both sides are fighting fiercely on the battlefield, our scouts are at a disadvantage when fighting the enemy." Cao Cao worried.

.

It's not that the scouts sent by Cao Cao's army are not brave enough, but that there are magical things like fairy mirrors among the enemy troops. With the help of fairy mirrors, the scouts in the army can more easily detect the situation ahead. In Cao Cao's hands

Having an Immortal Mirror, you naturally understand the important role of the Immortal Mirror on the battlefield.

If the current situation continues, the situation around Changshe will definitely be clearly investigated by the enemy. By then, the situation will be even more unfavorable for Cao's army.

"Prime Minister, the reason why the enemy's scouts are powerful is because they have fairy mirrors. As long as our cavalry can get more fairy mirrors from the enemy, they can restore their disadvantage." Hua Xin, the counselor, stepped forward and said.

"The enemy cavalry is extremely cunning. It may not be an easy task to obtain the Immortal Mirror from the enemy's hands," Cao Cao said.

"The Prime Minister can secretly send elite cavalry into the battlefield. When the enemy is unprepared, it is still very possible to obtain the Immortal Mirror."

Cao Cao nodded in approval upon hearing this. After the enemy had eaten, with the help of the fairy mirror, they could find the traces of their own cavalry faster, but changing the way of fighting was different.

The enemy used cavalry to inquire about news on the battlefield. Cao Cao did not need to follow this method. As long as he could control the news on the battlefield, it was enough for Cao Cao.

After everyone left, Cao Cao immediately ordered the assassins who came with the army to dispatch 200 people to the battlefield to lurk. These assassins did not play a great role in the head-on confrontation. However, if they were operating in secret, the situation would be completely different.

The unique combat methods of assassins can produce good results when facing cavalry, and Cao Cao's purpose of letting these assassins take action is to get more fairy mirrors from the enemy's scouts.

The battlefield in Yizhou has already shown how terrifying Lu Bu's army is when they possess the Immortal Mirror.

Observing the enemy troops farther away plays a huge role in the decisive battle above. The situation on the battlefield can be obtained more quickly, and the general can respond more quickly to avoid facing the enemy's elite deployment without having to do so.

Respond to situations in a timely manner.

After receiving the order, the assassin team rushed to the battlefield. For this mission, the assassins who came with the army were confident that they could complete it. Even if they faced the enemy's elite cavalry, it was nothing to the assassins.
