The Qin army turned into the Han army, and the King of Qin turned into the King of Han. All of this happened too suddenly.
Liu Zhang transformed himself, put on the banner of the imperial court, and became the embodiment of justice.
The entire Cao Wei, from King Cao Cao to the ordinary civil and military officers, were at a loss.
The plans that were agreed upon and the strategies that were worked out through hard thinking all came to naught in an instant.
Even the 200,000 elite soldiers he talked about turned into a mob in the blink of an eye.
The Han army is about to approach the city!
What can we do to resist, just relying on two hundred thousand mobs?
Seeing that his subordinates were all depressed and panicked, Cao Cao was angry and angry.
If you are timid before fighting, then there is no need to fight this battle.
He shouted directly.
"Obey the order!"
The majestic two words lifted everyone's spirits and raised their heads.
Cao Cao's furious heart also softened a little.
"Everyone, are you hoping that Liu Zhang will never attack?"
"Whether it is the Qin army or the Han army, if they want to dominate the world, how can they not have the courage to face it head-on?"
"I have made up my mind to be alone. Immediately raise an army that will overwhelm the country and go south to meet the enemy!"
Everyone was shocked.
Cao Cao is going to fight with all his strength!
Perhaps one battle can determine the final direction of the world.
"Xia Houyuan!"
When his name was called, Xia Houyuan quickly stepped out of the queue.
"I'm here!"
"I order you to return to Bingzhou quickly and occupy all the dangerous places. After arranging everything, lead all the combatable troops to Huguan to resist the Qin... Han army attacking from Hanoi!"
In the direction of Bingzhou, there were attacks from three directions: Hetao, Hedong and Hanoi.
However, Bingzhou is mountainous, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, making it difficult to defend and attack.
As long as they are properly deployed and can't stand, both the Qin and Han armies will be helpless.
Especially in the direction of Huguan.
As long as you occupy the natural danger of Huguan, you will be safe!
"I accept your order!"
Xia Houyuan took the military order with confidence.
On the first day he entered Bingzhou, he began to deploy defenses.
It means that one day we need to go south to attack the Central Plains to ensure the safety of Jizhou's flanks.
Although he was knocked on the door now, it made no difference to Xia Houyuan.
After returning to Bingzhou, you only need to give orders and you can deal with it calmly.
At the same time, Xia Houyuan had already heard the implication of Cao Cao's words.
Mobilize all the Bingzhou army and prepare for a desperate fight!
"Cao Ren!"
Cao Ren was not surprised when he was called the second time.
"The general is here!"
"Order to return to the plains quickly and deploy defensive measures based on the Yellow River!"
"Remember, don't let a Qin...Han army land in Pingyuan County!"
This Han army shouted that not only Cao Cao was uncomfortable, but also Cao Ren was extremely uncomfortable.
Resisting the Han army sounds like a disguised admission that he is a rebel!
"King Wei, do you need me to lead an army to help you?"
Cao Cao shook his head.
"No need. If you have rich troops and horses, you can go to the direction of Nanpi and deploy to prevent the Qin...Han army from making a sneak attack from the Bohai Sea."
Cao Ren asked with some confusion,
"King Wei, why don't you arrange it along the Bohai Sea?"
Cao Cao glared at Cao Ren angrily.
"I really want to arrange it, but how can I have so many soldiers and horses?"
"Without further ado!"
Cao Ren accepted the order and quickly retreated.
"I accept your order."
"Xiahou Dun!"
As the most distinguished general in Cao Wei, Xiahou Dun was the last one to be called out.
"My lord...is here!"
Xiahou Dun held his head high and raised his voice to express his unique identity.
"May I ask King Wei, what are your orders?"
Cao Cao was very angry. How long has it been since this happened? Do you still have the intention to do this?
"What are your orders? It's already this time and you still don't know what to do?"
Xiahou Dun was scolded and felt extremely embarrassed.
"Well... I will lead the army south immediately. I will not defeat Liu Zhang until I defeat him. I swear not to..."
"okay!"
Cao Cao interrupted Xiahou Dun with an angry scolding.
With the three-legged cat's representative means and resourcefulness, what could he use to defeat Liu Zhang?
Even any general under Liu Zhang's command could be defeated by Xiahou Dun with great difficulty.
"I have ordered you to lead an army of 100,000 people to go south first and seize the dangerous places on the Yellow River."
"Remember, we must occupy all the places where the Qin and Han armies can land!"
Xiahou Dun breathed a sigh of relief.
If he is really allowed to attack the Qin army, he will really want to cry without tears.
"More... um, as ordered..."
Just as Xiahou Dun was about to retreat, Cao Cao stopped him again.
"Wait a moment!"
"ah?"
"Regulate the army immediately and go south immediately!"
Xiahou Dun was stunned when he heard this.
How could a hundred thousand troops be mobilized just as they were told?
"King Wei, the army's food, grass, weapons and other expenses will take time! I'm afraid it won't be activated in a short while."
Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun coldly.
"How long do you need it?"
Xiahou Dun frowned and kept calculating the time in his mind.
After a long time, he made up his mind and said,
"At least three days!"
Cao Cao's eyes suppressed the anger, and his right hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword.
If possible, he really wanted to stab Xiahou Dun to death with one sword.
"Three days? You might as well prepare for three years! Will Liu Zhang lead his army to attack Yecheng?"
"Ah...this..."
Xiahou Dun scratched his head in embarrassment.
"King Wei, I also have my own reasons..."
"Shut up!"
Cao Cao stepped forward and sprayed Xiahou Dun's face with saliva.
"If you are not ready to lead the army before tonight, come and see us!"
Xiahou Dun was in great distress.
It's already past noon and we haven't eaten yet. How can we get there in time?
"King Wei..."
Just as he was about to speak, Xia Houyuan quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
"Brother, shut up!"
Xiahou Dun glared at Xiahou Yuan.
It seems to be saying, it's not you, you are not in a hurry!
"Wonderful talent, I..."
"Brother, just charge forward with your soldiers, and the other kings of Wei will make arrangements for you!"
"As for food and grass, what do you have to worry about? How far is the river from Yecheng?"
Xia Houyuan spoke sincerely, both implicitly and explicitly.
"Brother, at this critical moment of life and death, we must not look forward or backward!"
Xiahou Dun had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Official...accept the order..."
Cao Cao was too lazy to pay attention to Xia Houyuan and glanced at everyone.
"Everyone, although Liu Zhang claims to have an army of one million, he actually doesn't even have half of it. This thief is treacherous and can only bluff!"
"Now, Gu has an army of 300,000 men under his command, and it is easy to defeat Liu Zhang!"
"I hope you and Gu will work together to defeat Liu Zhang and then pacify the world!"
Everyone quickly stood up and bowed down.
"As you command!"
