Upon hearing that Liu Bei also ordered Zhuge Liang to lead a large army to station in Xiangyang, waiting for an opportunity to act, Cao Cao smiled at the civil and military officials and said, "With Zhuge Liang's efforts to restrain the Qin army, Gu only needs to block the 240,000 Qin soldiers from two groups. This is no pressure for Gu. In this battle, either Liu Yu retreated or Liu Yu was defeated in disastrously. Please wait and see."

As one of the most qualified heroes of the present, Cao Cao has a unique charm that others do not have. In a word, the civil and military officials present were infected by Cao Cao's confidence and looked at each other and nodded, all of them looking full of confidence.

In Qingzhou, the war has begun.

The Qin army led by Zhao Yun easily captured three counties in Jinan County, and went deep into Qingzhou for dozens of miles, and soon arrived at the city of Jinan.

The city of Jinan was strong, and the Qin soldiers attacked for less than two hours. When they heard that Sima Yi was leading his troops, they retreated twenty miles to camp.

Zhao Yun asked Xu Shu: "Sima Yi led 80,000 Wei troops to resist the battle. He arrived in three or two hours. Can you have a wonderful plan to defeat the enemy?" Only by defeating Sima Yi can you capture Jinan County and then capture other counties and counties in Qingzhou.

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, walked to the map, pointed to a place and said, "This is Yinling Mountain in the south of Jinan City, which is the only way for Sima Yi's army to pass. You can ambush more than 10,000 troops and horses, and you can order a general to lead the troops to set up an ambush here. If it goes well, it is no problem to annihilate about 20,000 Wei soldiers. At that time, there were only 60,000 Wei soldiers left, so it would be easier for the general to break it."

Zhao Yu looked happy: "From the words of Mr., I ordered General Zhang Liao to lead 15,000 troops to set up an ambush on Yinling Mountain."

...

Sima Yi led 80,000 Wei troops and was approaching Jinan City.

There was no tension in Sima Yi about this battle. As long as the two generals Xu Chu and Xiahou Yuan did not make any major mistakes, he would have full confidence to block Zhao Yun's Qin army and even defeat Zhao Yun's Qin army.

Given Xu Chu's temperament, Sima Yi instructed: "General Xu, the king sent you to resist Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun is brave and powerful, and if the general is hostile to him, he must not fight for a long time." After his and Cao Cao's evaluation, although Xu Chu was defeated by Zhao Yun, it would be no problem to survive for a hundred rounds. As long as he fought for fifty or sixty rounds, Xu Chu would be defeated and Zhao Yun could not kill Xu Chu.

Xu Chu mainly resisted Zhao Yun from time to time when the two armies were fighting on a large scale, so as not to let Zhao Yun lead the army in and out too unscrupulously.

Xu Chu glanced at Sima Yi with dissatisfaction, and then responded helplessly: "I understand." Just when he went to war, Cao Cao also specifically told him privately, otherwise Sima Yi would just say this, he would have to lose his temper.

However, after saying that, Xu Chu still curled his lips and muttered: Zhao Yun is nothing great. Even though I can't defeat him, I'm not afraid of him. Why should I underestimate me so much?

Sima Yi vaguely heard Xu Chu's muttering, but he pretended that he didn't hear it and said nothing. In short, as long as Xu Chu did not make a stubborn fight with Zhao Yun to the end, the chance of making a mistake would not be high.

The Wei army continued to march and soon arrived at Yinling Mountain Pass.

Suddenly, Sima Yi raised his hand and stopped the army from entering Yinling Mountain.

Sima Yi glanced at both sides of Yinling Mountain for a moment, and suddenly concluded: "There are Qin soldiers lying here, so you should not advance rashly."

When Xu Chu heard this, his eyes lit up, "Is there any Qin soldiers lying in ambush?"

Sima Yi believed that, "There must be an ambush from Qin soldiers!" It is worthy of being able to lead the Sima family in history to eventually replace Cao Wei and unify the Three Kingdoms and become the final winner. Some people say that Sima Yi did not surpass Zhuge Liang in terms of wisdom alone, but he was not inferior to Zhuge Liang. Although Xu Shu was also powerful, he was not as good as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, so he could only barely fight against Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi. The ambush he planned was seen through by Sima Yi.

"General Xu, General Xiahou, you two each lead 20,000 troops and encircle them from the west and south roads!" Sima Yi ordered calmly.

The two of them gave the order, and each led his troops and horses to surround him.

On Yinling Mountain.

When Zhang Liao saw that Sima Yi's army suddenly stopped at Yinling Mountain Pass and did not enter Yinling Mountain for a long time, he was also a general who was sensitive in his heart. He thought that Sima Yi had noticed the ambush and refused to advance.

"Sima Yi has many tricks. Since the ambush cannot be done, I should evacuate quickly." Zhang Liao thought about it, but without hesitation, he immediately led the ambush troops to evacuate.

Just after he withdrew from Yinling Mountain, he saw Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, each leading the Wei army to attack.

"Haha, the Qin soldiers are indeed ambushing here. I am Xu Chu!" Xu Chu laughed loudly and took the lead.

Zhang Liao was shocked, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly led his army to quickly defeat and flee.

"Zhang Liao, how dare you escape?" Xu Chu saw Zhang Liao at first sight and roared and rushed towards Zhang Liao.

Of course, Zhang Liao could not have been moved by Xu Chu and turned around to fight with Xu Chu, and he only took the Qin soldiers to withdraw back to the camp.

Xu Chu and Xiahou Yuan chased and killed each other. However, Yinling Mountain was not far from Jinan County City and Qin Army camps. It only chased after more than ten miles, killed and injured nearly a thousand Qin soldiers, and then returned.

Although there were not many soldiers killed and injured the Qin army, Sima Yi was not disappointed and smiled and said, "Although he could not injure many Qin soldiers, a small victory in the first battle could also increase the morale of our army and attack the morale of the Qin army."

Then he ordered the army to quickly pass through Yinling Mountain and quickly arrive at the Jinan County City. Due to the limited size of the city, tens of thousands of people had already lived in it. It was unrealistic to squeeze in the 80,000 Wei army, so Sima Yi only ordered the Wei army to camp outside the city with its back against the city.

"Just wait for the Qin army to come and fight, we will fight with the Qin army." Sima Yi was extremely calm. He intended to try to defeat the Qin army. It would be even better if he could take the opportunity to attack Hebei and capture several counties.

Qin army camp.

Zhang Liao led his troops back to the camp with a depressed expression.

Xu Shu sighed helplessly: "Sima Zhongda is really powerful. He even saw through the ambush at one glance, and almost surrounded General Zhang Liao. If General Zhang Liao had not retreated quickly when he saw the opportunity, the number of soldiers would have been far more than a thousand."

Zhao Yun was not discouraged at all, but instead snorted and stood up and said, "Although Sima Zhongda's strategy is powerful, he did not know that our army has two killer weapons. When tomorrow, I will fight myself and kill a general of the Wei army. Then the iron cavalry attacked with all their might, breaking through the Wei army's camp, and defeating the Wei army will be no problem. If Sima Yi can be killed, he can even capture Qingzhou!"

The next day, Zhao Yun personally led 20,000 Qin troops to fight in front of the Wei army camp, scolding Cao Cao and the generals of the Wei army.

War must be fought. If there is no war, the morale of the small victory yesterday will soon decline again, and Sima Yi wants to eventually defeat the Qin army.

Sima Yi said to Xu Chu: "Please General Xu go to fight and rub Zhao Yun's spirit." He was not worried that something might happen to Xu Chu. As long as Xu Chu was not allowed to fight to the end, he would call the gold to withdraw his troops and order Xu Chu to return to the camp after fifty or sixty rounds. Zhao Yun could not do anything to Xu Chu.

Xu Chu received the order, then took a knife and got on the horse, and ran out of the camp.

"Don't be crazy, Xu Chu is here!"

When Zhao Yun saw this, he laughed: "Hahahaha, it's a good time!"

After laughing, he held a gun and fought with Xu Chu, and the two fought fiercely.
