"Lord, Cao Cao set up a battalion on the east and south sides of Ao Cang, forming a junction with Ao Cang. No matter which battalion our army wants to attack, it will be attacked by Ao Cang and another battalion. With our current strength, it is not suitable to divide the troops to attack." Li Ru pointed to Ao Cang's location on the map and analyzed to Ye Zhao.

"Lord, why not transfer some people from Luoyang again?" Ma Teng suggested.

"There is no need to transfer people. Although there are not many troops now, our army only needs to gain a foothold in Xingyang to echo the Hulao!" Ye Zhao shook his head and looked at Li Rudao: "The envoy sent to Jiangdong has not returned yet?"

Previously, when we learned that Ye Zheng killed Cao Ang and persuaded Lu Bu to fall to Ye Zhao's side, the situation had already begun to break out of control. Neither Ye Zhao nor Cao Cao had thought of starting a war so early, and both sides were accumulating strength.

The problem is probably due to the fact that Cao Hong mistakenly regards Ye Zheng as Ye Zhao, and Ye Zhao has to move. As soon as Cao Cao moves, Ye Zhao can't stand still. As Ye Zheng successfully convinces Lu Bu to turn against him, Ye Zhao sees the opportunity to unify the Central Plains. Therefore, this time, the troops stationed in Luoyang were 80,000, but the defensive forces of Hulao Pass, Zhao Yun brought the troops to suppress Xiahou Yuan, the troops taken by Guan Yu, and the necessary garrisons in Luoyang, so that Ye Zhao can actually bring out only 30,000 people.

Even though they were elite soldiers, Cao Cao's army was not weak and had an advantage in number. According to common sense, Ye Zhao could not defeat Cao Cao with a 30,000 army. Cao Cao did not rely on Ao Cang, but divided his troops into three battalions, which also saw Ye Zhao's shortcomings and avoided fighting against Ye Zhao to attack and defend the city, but wanted to defeat Ye Zhao in the wild.

After all, no matter how powerful Ye Zhao's troops were, they were not as strong as crushing Cao Cao. At this time, to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses and avoid the great power of Ye Zhao's siege equipment, just like the previous battle in Xingyang, so he could only choose to annihilate it in the wild. Although the losses were also heavy, at least there was hope of winning.

As for Lu Bu, although Cao Cao had secretly contacted Gao Sheng and asked Gao Sheng to contact Wei Ji, he was not caring about it at this moment. Not only him, Ye Zhao also handed over the Nanyang affairs to Ye Zheng, and now he was just waiting for the war here. Moreover, he occupied Xingyang at this moment, not to fight with Cao Cao, but to cut off the contact between Cao Cao and Xuchang.

However, Ye Zhao and Cao Cao didn't care about Lu Bu, but in Nanyang, this period was very lively.

Lu Bu married his daughter and married Ye Zhao, who is now in full swing, which is enough to influence the overall situation of the world. Countless people have focused on Nanyang. Even if Ye Zhao and Cao Cao are confronting each other now, they have not attracted much attention. After all, in everyone's eyes, Ye Zhao and Cao Cao cannot decide the winner so quickly.

The wedding day was also selected by Ye Zhao and Lu Bu. Now the entire Nanyang is in preparation, but at this moment, Liu Biao suddenly sent the general Wen Pin, Liu Pan to fight, raided Xinye and killed Hou Cheng, which made Lu Bu furious.

He didn't expect that at this time, Liu Biao would dare to come and provoke him, so he would lead his army to destroy the invading enemy.

"Lord, the wedding day is coming soon. It is better to call Wei Xu, why not send troops in person, and how about Wei Xu, the two generals Gao Shun lead their troops?" Gao Sheng saw that Lu Bu was trying to do it himself, so he hurriedly went out and persuaded him.

"A mere stupid thief, why do you need me and two generals to come out together?" Lu Bu said disdainfully: "Wei Xu will go and take the Wenpeng for me. Liu Pan's head to pay tribute to Hou Cheng's spirit in heaven!"

It was not Lu Bu's rampant, but in the past several previous battles with Jingzhou, the Jingzhou army had never asked for a bargain in Nanyang. As long as it passed the Bangshui and Hanshui, even if the Jingzhou army was large and powerful, it could only tremble under the iron hooves of Lu Bu's cavalry.

Although Wei Xu was not famous, he came out with Lu Bu's battle in the south and north, commanding the cavalry. Although Wen Pin and Liu Pan were considered good generals, they could only escape in a hurry when they met in Nanyang.

Of course, after passing the Han River, the waterways were crisscrossed and hills were everywhere, so the role of the cavalry could not be played out. Therefore, after crossing the river, Lu Bu fought several times but failed to do his best.

"I think that in order to avoid the troubles, two generals will go together." Gao Sheng bowed and said.

"I have decided." Lu Bu frowned and glanced at Gao Sheng.

If Jia Xu were here, it would be easy to find that Gao Sheng had other plans, but unfortunately, Jia Xu was busy with Ye Zheng and Lu Lingqi recently and happened to be nowhere to be with Lu Bu.

Gao Sheng was beating his heart when Lu Bu looked at him. He quickly bowed and said no more. Although he could not deceive Gao Shun out, Wei Xu took away most of the troops and made Nanyang empty, leaving only one Gao Shun with little impact. If he continued to persuade him, it would probably make Lu Bu suspicious and not beautiful.

After bowing and leaving, Gao Shun quickly met Wei Ji after leaving Lu Bu's general's mansion and told the story.

"Although Gao Shun stayed, if he was the only one, it would not be difficult to solve the problem. Are you sure Song Xian is willing to help me?" Wei Ji looked at Gao Sheng and asked seriously.

"Don't worry, General Song has had friends with me and even the others. Besides, he has long been resentful about Lu Bu's resentment for his appointment as a marquis in recent years, and he has successfully convinced him." Gao Sheng smiled and nodded and said, "Not only that, Cheng Lian has agreed to let go. The lord's army can pass through Nirvana with confidence!"

He has made a lot of contacts under Lu Bu over the years. Song Xian and Cheng Lian are all very close friends, not only because Gao Sheng can observe his words and expressions, but more importantly, Gao Sheng can make money. Over the years, the friendship he spent money on money can be stronger than feelings for Song Xian, Cheng Lian and others.

"Song Xian, Cheng Lian..." Wei Ji nodded silently. With these two people helping each other, and with Hou Cheng from Xinye being killed by Liu Biao, Wei Xu was taken to Xinye. Most of Lu Bu's direct troops are now in that area. In this way, Lu Bu's information about Zhuyang and Nieyang was vacuumed. When Wei Ji's troops arrived, and with Song Xian's internal and external cooperation, the matter had been successful.

"If Cheng Lian does not stop him, my general Xu Huang will arrive in three days. Is there a way to lead Lu Bu out of the city?" Wei Ji looked at Gao Sheng and said.

Although Song Xian is the insider, Nanyang City is Lu Bu's territory after all. Even if Song Xian turns against him, his soldiers may not necessarily turn against him. If they can lead Lu Bu out of Nanyang City and kill Lu Bu outside the city, Song Xian takes the opportunity to block the city gate and kill Gao Shun, even if Lu Bu has the ability to reach the sky, he may not be able to stop the encirclement of countless soldiers.
