If compared based on combat power and mobility, most of the time, 30,000 cavalry is more valuable than 70,000 infantry. Moreover, the cavalry lost by Cao Cao's troops is the tiger and leopard cavalry, which means that Cao Cao's troops actually suffered a considerable loss.

Most of this result is because Cao Ang, who commanded the cavalry department, is still Cao Ang, which is also one of the several methods used by Cao Cao to express trust. Not long after Cao Ang was defeated, Cao Cao still asked him to command the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, hoping to inspire Cao Ang by making meritorious contributions.

However, the order Cao Cao gave him was to rush the formation from the side, chase the remaining enemies, and act according to the opportunity. In theory, there would not be too much problem.

However, Cao Ang and Zhang Xun's troops almost collided head-on because the encounter between the two sides was a mountain. At that time, Zhang Xun's troops had already passed the top of the valley road, but the whistle cavalry sent by Cao Ang only reached the mountainside. When Cao Ang was eager to march, he did not pull the main troops far away.

In this way, when the cavalry was at a disadvantage in the mountainous terrain, they were occupied by the opponent, and it was naturally difficult to avoid disadvantages in the initial encounter.

The trust that Cao Cao gave Cao Ang still played a great role. In this battle, it can be said that Cao Ang fought to the death, and even made Zhang Xun very passive at one point. If it weren't for the other two groups of Yuan Shu soldiers coming to support in time, Zhang Xun would probably not be able to withstand Cao Ang.

However, this is not how sharp Cao Cao uses people. The reason why Cao Cao uses Cao Ang again is on the one hand because of his personal habits, but in fact it is because he lacks generals who can fight.

Like Cao Ren, Niu Jin, Xu Huang, Sima Lang, Xiahou Yuan, Lu Qian and other Cao Cao's generals were captured by Yang Rui one after another, and Cao Cao's use of generals was also in short supply.

Although Yang Rui felt that his generals were insufficient all day long, Cao Cao was also facing this situation, and it was even more serious. You should know that Cao Cao was the most abundant prince in the middle of historical facts and Romance.

A long and magnificent spring rain changed the original situation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in Sili Prefecture, and the unexpected encounter between Cao Ang's cavalry and Yuan Shu's troops was just one of them.

The main troops who came from the east to Luoyang Imperial City were also disrupted by the heavy rain. When they approached Luoyang Imperial City, they found that all Yuan Shu's troops had evacuated the area near Luoyang.

At the same time, Cao Cao suddenly discovered a large number of Yang Rui's troops less than 200 miles away, which was a big surprise!

Although Yang Rui had asked the Yusu Jianwei to order the Elf Secret Ninja to gather his companions around to snipe all Cao Cao sentry he encountered, this move did play a role.

Even though the Elf Secret Ninja is only level 4, he can still attack Cao Cao with several times his troops.

The key is that the Ethereal Secret Ninja takes action, avoids, and escapes in an extremely strange way, especially in the large number, which is even more difficult to deal with.

However, the Elf Secret Ninja still lacks experience, or is somewhat unacceptable to the local conditions, so he actually lets go of some Cao Cao's secret whistle.

The news Cao Cao learned was that it was from pretending to be a doctor. It can be seen that in addition to paying great attention to pre-war exploration, Cao Cao also attached great importance to the establishment of information chains, which led to various roles of investigators, such as doctors and travelers.

Even so, Cao Cao discovered that Yang Rui's large-scale troops were almost gone at a distance of 200 miles, so he left almost no warning time; on the other hand, Yang Rui had clearly grasped the whereabouts of Cao Cao's troops.

Shortly after entering Silizhou at the beginning, Yang Rui had actually found out which army was Cao Cao's headquarters, so he waved his army and came directly towards the east side of Luoyang. Even if Cao Cao pretended in other ways, he could not confuse Yang Rui.

Of course, this is due to the Elf Secret Ninja. Cao Cao's four or five troops all beat his own flag, but there is still a difference between the main generals. The Elf Secret Ninja was in position near each other for about one or two days. Yang Rui had already made a preliminary judgment on where Cao Cao was.

Later, it was a few days of heavy rain. In the process of blocking Cao Cao's messenger, Ethereal Secret Nervous quickly confirmed the specific location of Cao Cao. Later, every move of Cao Cao's troops was under Yang Rui's surveillance.

The immediacy of the Ethereal Secret Ninja's message transmission determines that no matter how careful Cao Cao was, his ability to obtain battlefield information at this stage is still incomparable to Yang Rui.

Yang Rui also experienced this during the National War. At that time, Yang Rui had convenient and effective reconnaissance methods such as flying pets. However, in obtaining battlefield information, it was still incomparable to the Japanese civilized regional forces.

This also caused Yang Rui to have an absolute advantage in military strength several times at that time, but he often failed to achieve the expected results. For example, the first naval battle took a lot of effort.

Later, Yang Rui was also in charge of Jianshi in the Fang area. He kept chasing him behind his butt, but he was unable to make contributions, and he even failed to take the remaining members of Jianshi in the end.

The experience of fighting with the Japanese civilized regional national war also helped Yang Rui develop reliable information channels, which accelerated the implementation of his long-standing ideas.

In the end, Yang Rui got the Japanese civilized general Yusu Jianbingwei by chance, so he immediately developed his exclusive special military secret Ninja.

At this time, there is no need to discuss the length of the two major civilized arms and means of the Three Kingdoms and Japan. It is probably because the directions of the two major civilizations are different. Of course, the Three Kingdoms civilization areas also have a way of transmission that is not inferior to those of the Secret Ninja, but it has not appeared at the current stage.

After Yang Rui mastered the special military of Ethereal Secret Ninja, under the current Silizhou battle conditions, his information methods were naturally incomparable to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao discovered that Yang Rui's army was so close, his hands and feet were suddenly frozen. All his previous plans were about to fail. The most important thing was that the other party's intention was to leave him no way out!

In fact, the battle in Pingxian County had been going on for several days, but due to heavy rain, Cao Cao only knew that Lu Bu's troops had entered Silizhou and thought that someone had assisted in defense in the rear.

Later, Cao Cao devoted most of his energy to the investigation and action of Yuan Shu's troops. In addition to conveying the news twice to Lu Bu, he was blocked by the Eagle Secret Ninja. Cao Cao thought that Lu Bu had already received the news and acted in concert with him.

At this time, it was not an exaggeration to say that Cao Cao was a life-and-death moment. There were not many choices before Cao Cao. After a brief consideration, Cao Cao chose to directly enter the Luoyang Imperial City.

Perhaps Cao Cao could give up his gamble and attack all his troops towards Yuzhou under Yuan Shu, give up the rear and rush to take Yuan Shu directly, so that his previous arrangements could continue to play a role, and even destroy Yuan Shu in one fell swoop.

However, Cao Cao was almost certain that his troops would inevitably become the target of the King of Donghai’s soldiers. Even if he conquered Yuzhou and pushed Yuan Shu, how would he get rid of the entanglement of this strongest opponent?

In fact, it is not safe for Cao Cao to retreat to Luoyang Imperial City. He is betting that Yang Rui would not attack the Imperial City rashly!

After all, Liu Xie is in Luoyang Imperial City. If he attacks Luoyang Imperial City under the background, he may have truly become a confrontation camp of the Han emperors.
