Cao Pi quickly walked to the hall. Sima Yi, who was waiting in the hall, immediately bowed, "Prime Minister!" Cao Pi walked to Sima Yi and asked with some concern: "Mr. Wenruo has a letter?" Sima Yi immediately put the bamboo slips in his hand and said, "It's good news!" Cao Pi hurriedly took the bamboo slips and opened them to read them. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in disbelief: "How did Wenruo do this? He was able to instigate the Goguli people to cross the sea to attack Qingzhou?" Sima Yi said, "The Goguli people have always been ambitious, and Mr. Wenruo must have used this to succeed!" He paused and frowned and said, "But there must be a price to achieve such results. Now the Goguli people are a huge help, but after the war, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble!"

Cao Pi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this! After using it, we will wipe out them again! The core task now is to defeat Lu Bu!" Then he asked, "Is there any news from Lu Bu?" Sima Yi said, "According to the detailed information, Lu Bu is also actively preparing for the war, but the reserve force they can mobilize is limited, so I guess it can mobilize about 70,000 to 80,000 reserve troops. Even if they do this,

All of these troops were transferred to Qingzhou, and the total strength of the Qingzhou direction was still far inferior to ours. Currently, the 100,000 troops led by Zang Ba and Huang Zhong were stationed in Qingzhou. Even if Lu Bu transferred all of these 70,000 to Qingzhou, there were only 170,000 to Qingzhou. And we will gather 350,000 troops in Qingzhou, with twice the strength of the enemy. In addition, the Gogurye people who are now going to join the battlefield, this battle to capture Qingzhou is almost certain!"

Cao Pi nodded happily and asked again: "How are those gentry preparing?" Sima Yi said: "According to the report I just received, the gentry in all places are ready! When the war comes, the territory of Lu Bu will inevitably be in a rush, and Lu Bu will definitely be shocked at that time!" Cao Pi laughed and said loudly: "I want to defeat Lu Bu in one fell swoop!"

Sima Yi said: "Prime Minister, now all aspects are ready, it's time for us to send troops!" Cao Pi nodded.

Two days later, Cao Pi held a magnificent oath ceremony outside the suburbs of Jizhou City, and then led a large army to march towards Qingzhou. Hundreds of thousands of troops were in a mighty manner, with flags covering the sky and the sun. A magnificent war, which also determines the fate of the Central Plains, finally kicked off.

On the same day Cao Pi swears to go to war, Liu Bei also held a oath-taking meeting in Chengdu, proclaiming Lu Bu's ten major crimes, and calling on the people of the world to rise up and resist the rebel thief Lu Bu to support the Han Dynasty! At the oath-taking meeting, he was passionate and looked like he wanted to fight to the death with Lu Bu! Then the army left Chengdu and marched towards Hanzhong!

Shortly after Cao Pi's army and Liu Bei's army launched, more than 100,000 barbarian coalition forces were guided by Cao Pi to the city of Jiguan, and first launched a fierce attack on Lu Bu. The barbarian coalition forces used the siege equipment provided by Cao Pi to attack Jiguan. The sound of killing under Jiguan City was shocking the sky, and the battle was very fierce!

At this time, the 80,000 elite troops led by Ailang had arrived in Qingzhou. Jia Xu followed Ailang, and Ailang immediately convened a military meeting.

In the hall, Jia Xu first reported the current military information to Ailang: "Report to the lord, according to the detailed feedback, Cao Pi led the army to pass Qinghe County and will arrive in Pingyuan County in a few days. Based on the information obtained from all sides, this time Cao Pi gathered 350,000 troops!" Ailang couldn't help but greet the women of Cao Pi's family in his heart. Then he asked: "Where is Cao Pi's main attack direction? Is it Linji?"

Jia Xu said: "Cao Pi gathered all the main force and logistics supplies in Pingyuan County. The attack target was obvious, and he came to Linji. Now a floating bridge has been built on the Yellow River. I guess the enemy will be coming to Linji City within ten days!" The plain is located on the west bank of the Yellow River, and several counties such as Luoyin and the east bank of the Yellow River are now in the hands of Cao's army, with tens of thousands of Cao troops stationed. Linji is a county town, located between the Yellow River and the Ji River, and is adjacent to the Ji River on the west bank of the Ji River. Cao's army came eastward. If they want to seize Qingzhou, they will first seize Linji. This Linji can be said to be the gateway to the west of Qingzhou, and can be said to be a place that military strategists must fight for. If Linji is lost, the entire Qingzhou will be in danger.

Ailang walked to the sand table, looked at Linji City on the sand table, and said, "I will go to Linji immediately!" Then he said to Jia Xu, "Are you ready like this?" Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "Since I received the order from my lord, my subordinates have started to prepare, and now they are all ready." Ailang nodded. Looking at Linji City on the sand table, his face showed a thoughtful look.

Ailang did not stop in Linzi for a long time, so he immediately led thousands of tiger cavalry and personal guards to Linji. A day later, he entered Linji City. Huang Zhong, who was responsible for guarding Linji, immediately came to greet him. The two walked quickly to the hall. Huang Zhong introduced the current situation from the side: "Not long ago, the scout came to report that the enemy's vanguard had appeared outside the city! Our whistle cavalry confronted them for three matches, and each other suffered casualties!" Ailang stopped and smiled, "It's coming so fast!" Then he walked into the hall.

Huang Zhong led Ailang and others to the huge map hanging on the side of the hall, pointed to a hilly area several miles away from Linji West, and said, "The 20,000 vanguards led by the enemy general Cao Hong are camping here." Ailang looked in the direction of his finger and asked, "How long will the main enemy force arrive?" Huang Zhong said, "According to the scout report, the main force led by Cao Pi is crossing the Yellow River. It can reach here in three days at most and two days at the earliest."

Ailang looked at the map and thought for a while, and said, "Gather the troops and follow me to fight!" Huang Zhong agreed with his fists.

Not long after, Ailang led more than 10,000 troops away from Linji City and approached Cao Hong's camp. The sound of gongs immediately sounded in Cao's camp. At the same time, people and horses were surging in the camp, and Cao's troops actively mobilized.

After Cao Hong rode his horse to the camp gate, he looked outside and saw that the person who led his army was riding a fiery red rabbit horse and carrying a Fang Tian painted halberd. He was majestic. It was Lu Bu. Cao Hong was not surprised but happy, because this means that the main force of the enemy had entered Linji, so he was plotted by the military advisor.

Ailang shouted loudly: "Cao Hong, you turtle shrunk, dare you come out to fight me to the death!" Cao Hong was not angry, laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Lu Bu is a man who is in trouble, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty has mobilized a large army, and this time you will completely wipe out you! If you don't want to die without a burial place, get off the horse and surrender quickly! The Prime Minister thinks that you are his brother-in-law, you will have a life left!" A burst of laughter came to Cao's army.

Ailang laughed and scolded, "Damn it! I didn't expect that your mouth is quite powerful!" Then he said, "Since you don't dare to fight, I'll attack!"

When Cao Hong heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked and immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare for the battle. The officers and soldiers of Cao quickly raised their shields, and the crossbowmen were ready to go and were ready for battle.

Ailang raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and thousands of powerful crossbowmen immediately stepped forward, stepped on the ring and mounted arrows, and raised the strong crossbow to aim at Cao's army in the camp. Seeing this, the Cao army officers and soldiers all showed different expressions, because the distance between the two sides is almost two hundred steps. Can the arrows be shot at such a long distance?

Ai Lang smiled slightly, waved Fang Tian Hua Ji forward, shouting, "Shoot the arrow!" The powerful crossbowmen pulled the trigger together, and only a huge shock sound was heard. Almost at the same time, countless black shadows flew out suddenly, making a scream! Before the Cao army's officers and soldiers could react, the crackling sound was heard, and Cao's shield could not stop the opponent's powerful arrows, and they were shot down countless times. The originally rigorous front suddenly fell! Cao army was shocked, but they did not collapse because of this.

Many shield players who were later repaired immediately stepped forward to fill the gaps that were shot out by the opponent's powerful arrows, and re-formed a defensive front! After a while, another wave of powerful arrows flew over, and Cao's army was shot down a lot! The leather shields in their hands were not much different from paper! The crossbowmen of Cao's army could not help but fight back, but the arrows they fired could only land dozens of steps in front of the Qin army, which could not reach the Qin army at all! Seeing that this continued, Cao Hong could only be shot and killed by his opponent in vain, so he urgently ordered the troops to retreat and avoid!

Although the Cao army promoted the situation unfavorable, it was not in chaos. After receiving Cao Hong's order, it retreated in an orderly manner.

Ailang waved Fang Tian's painting halberd and shouted, "Go forward!" More than 10,000 troops immediately moved forward, but stopped about two hundred steps away from the enemy, put on the strings and arrows, and continued to shoot. Cao's army was shot down again, but their crossbows were helpless to the Qin army. Seeing this, Cao Hong couldn't help but become anxious. A general next to him couldn't help but say, "General, the enemy's crossbow is too powerful! Such passive defense can only be shot by the opponent in vain! The enemy only has more than 10,000 troops, but we have 20,000 people. Are you still afraid that they will not succeed? Why not attack!"

At this moment, another wave of powerful arrows from the Qin army flew over and shot down many Cao army officers and soldiers, and screamed in the scene. Cao Hong couldn't help but be angry, and then raised his sword and shouted sternly: "Bang the drum! Counterattack!"

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong...! The sound of Cao's war drums suddenly sounded loudly, and Cao Hong led 20,000 vanguards to rush towards the Qin army.

The Qin army's powerful crossbowman immediately retracted, and at the same time, the shield spear quickly formed a defensive front. The powerful crossbowman retreated to the rear of the line immediately raised his powerful crossbow and fired a rain of arrows at the oncoming Cao army. It was as if countless stones were thrown into the surging wave, causing countless ripples!

Cao Hong immediately raised his sword and shouted loudly in the midst of the charge wave: "Shoot the arrow!" The Cao army's crossbowman immediately sent a rain of arrows to the Qin army. However, most of the arrows were blocked by the Qin army's shields and did not cause much damage to the Qin army. Cao Hong was very angry and led his army to attack forward, preparing to rely on his superiority in military strength to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!
