Inside Ruyang City.

The people of Fang Zhiwen Ruyang City were treated with curiosity. In fact, after occupying Ruyang City, Fang Zhiwen did everything, and even refused to stop the city wall. He purely grazed sheep to the people. Except for changing a flag on the wall, everything in Ruyang City was as usual.

If you really want to find a difference, there are many rare people in the city. In Cao Cao's hinterland, there are indeed not many strange people who can keep up with Fang Zhiwen's footsteps. On the contrary, there are many strange people outside the city. The strange people in Cao Cao's camp want to try the great feat of knocking down one of the most powerful waves in this game.

"Lord, the factor of Yiren cannot be ignored. If Cao Cao effectively organizes Yiren, it will have a great impact on our army."

Fang Zhiwen nodded. He Qi's statement was right. The power of Yiren must not be ignored now. As an indigenous person who knows Yiren the best, Fang Zhiwen certainly would not make such a mistake.

"Well, what Gong Miao said is very much. The power of Yiren cannot be ignored, especially the number of Yiren that our army can mobilize now is very small. If you may suffer losses in confrontation on the battlefield, the Cao army is fighting at home after all, but I still advocate the victory or defeat by field battles. The reinforcements from Cao's army from Qiao County have suspended the progress, and the second batch of reinforcements led by Cao Cao himself have also set off. Including Chen Ji's cavalry, the Cao army has a total of 150,000 infantry and cavalry. If they are surrounded by them in Ruyang, it is not an interesting thing. Moreover, this is the hinterland of Cao's army. As time goes by, the enemy will only increase in more and more."

"But lord, as long as we can attract the main force of the Cao army for a period of time, our army may capture Qiao County, Chen County, Dang County and other important places. At that time, our reinforcements may be surrounded and annihilated around Ruyang, and the opportunity will be determined by a battle will be quite rare!"

"Haha, Cao Cao is hoping that we will think so. The problem is that we have no intention of completely annihilation of Cao Cao. Cao Cao's occupation of Jingzhou is extremely beneficial to our army in the long run. Why do we completely eliminate Cao Cao? Isn't that a waste of money for Yuan Shao and Liu Bei?"

"This... lord, but you deliberately forced Cao Cao to come to Ruyang to fight to the decisive battle. Didn't you just want to annihilate Cao Cao?"

"Of course not. I just want to mobilize Cao Cao from Qiao County and defeat him. The real purpose is Qiao County, which is to completely break Cao Cao's fantasy, tear the Cao army's defense line, and drive Cao Cao to Jingzhou as soon as possible."

He Qi suddenly realized that the lord's plan was like this. It seemed that it was difficult to make accurate judgments and plans for tactics if it was not clear about strategy. He Qi was deeply touched.

"The subordinate understands. The lord's meaning is to mobilize Cao Cao and then seize Qiao County with a camera. But what if Yuan Shao doesn't try his best to attack Qiao County?"

"What's the benefit to him? If Yuan Shao doesn't work hard, then we'll withdraw. Who stipulates that we must win or lose? Or we can choose to bypass Cao Cao and attack Qiao County directly. Then we will supervise the battle behind. I want to see if Yuan Shao works hard."

"But in that case, Cao Cao would return to Qiao County!"

"Yes, that means our plan has failed. We can only find another way, haha."

He Qi looked at Fang Zhiwen in surprise. He didn't expect that Fang Zhiwen would be so indifferent to the outcome of this battle. If those casinos that opened the market knew that Fang Zhiwen had planned this, they would probably have the intention to hit the wall. Who would have thought that Fang Zhiwen, who was so famous, would not think about the outcome of the victory or defeat at all, and would not care about his reputation.

While using his fame to force Cao Cao to the corner, he was ready to give up the battle at any time. From beginning to end, Fang Zhiwen had only one goal. He worked hard to achieve his strategic goals, and everything else could be put aside first. As for victory or defeat and fame, it really doesn't matter.

....................................

Cao Cao and the troops who went to Ruyang in the early stage met with each other sixty miles south of Chen County. This location is about the same distance from Ruyang and Chen County.

Fang Zhiwen did not wait for Cao Cao in Ruyang honestly, but went out of the city to meet Cao Cao. However, the distance from the city was a bit far, and he went directly to Cao Cao's camp. Although Cao Cao did not fantasize that Fang Zhiwen would really stay in the city and wait for him to siege the city, Cao Cao was still a little disappointed when he saw Fang Zhiwen appearing in front of him.

Cao Cao arranged an array outside the camp and was preparing to have a dignified formation battle with Fang Zhiwen. Fang Zhiwen did not make any tricks, but arranged himself and Huang Xu's two cavalry neatly opposite Cao's army, waiting for Cao Cao to set up the formation. Cao Cao soon completed the arrangement of the Hengmu Formation. This was a relatively conservative formation with heavy infantry as the backbone and chariot formation as the barrier. The defense was stronger than attacking the cavalry. Of course, using infantry to attack the cavalry was a big deal.

Although Cao Cao had two cavalry by his side, Cao Cao had no confidence in cavalry fighting, so he was more at ease with heavy infantry!

The battle began soon, and Fang Zhiwen's response was very strange. He divided his cavalry into two teams, pulled back and forth from the front to the side, and attacked with only heavy crossbows. The effect was naturally very limited. Huang Xu was completely scattered to the periphery and swam in a huge range of the entire battlefield. He ignored Cao's army at all, but went to chase and kill the Yiren troops on the periphery.

Cao Cao was a little depressed. His 80,000 infantry could not catch up with Fang Zhiwen's cavalry at all. If he wanted to force Fang Zhiwen to submit, he could only dispatch cavalry. Fang Zhiwen deliberately divided the troops and even assigned Huang Xu to the periphery. Isn't it just that he wanted to lure himself to dispatch cavalry? As soon as his cavalry moved, Huang Xu on the periphery would gather and tear his cavalry apart like a pack of wolves.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth. Since Fang Zhiwen was not in a hurry, he could not be in a hurry. Now he is his home court and has no logistical problems. If Fang Zhiwen wants to obtain logistics, he has to retreat north of Chen County. In that case, Fang Zhiwen will be defeated in the battle and his face will be regained a little.

For a whole day, the two sides of the battle seemed to be practicing. The casualties of both sides were wrong. In fact, only Cao's army was killed and killed. Apart from the giant crossbows on the vehicle, the Cao army had almost no room for counterattack. Fang Zhiwen's troops had too long range. Sometimes arrows would pass over the heavy infantry and hit the crossbow formation behind them, causing some casualties. In addition, Fang Zhiwen's skilled volleyball shots would cause casualties to the chariot formation and heavy infantry.

In addition, Cao's army was so tired that Fang Zhiwen kept pulling. Cao's army had to be fully alert and needed to adjust the formation from time to time. It was already tiring to stand just by standing, not to mention moving.

What made Cao Cao even more annoyed was that Yi Ren, who was preparing to take advantage of the situation, was in trouble! Yi Ren just liked to be lucky and thought he could have the opportunity to knock down Fang Zhiwen, the **oss. Who knew that if Fang Zhiwen was not needed, they would not be able to deal with Huang Xu's troops. Moreover, Huang Xu's troops were still separated by Qu. Within a range of more than ten miles around the battlefield, the Yi Ren troops in Cao Cao's camp were almost completely destroyed. Everyone could only hide behind Cao Cao's military camp, and even hid in the camp and did not come out.

A daytime war passed like this. At night, Cao's army carefully guarded the camp, while Fang Zhiwen wandered outside and stumbled, causing Cao Cao to not sleep well all night.

The next day, it started raining and Cao Cao was overjoyed. It was really a waste of time! When it rained, the ground became slippery and muddy, and the bowstrings would loosen due to the rain. This was all unfavorable to Fang Zhiwen. Cao Cao excitedly urged the soldiers to have breakfast and then set out in the camp to form a formation. Who knew that Fang Zhiwen ignored Cao Cao at all and just stayed in the camp and couldn't come out.

Cao Cao had no choice but to attack Fang Zhiwen's camp. As a result, he braved Fang Zhiwen's arrow rain and skills bombarded. He finally arrived in front of the camp. Fang Zhiwen ran directly from the back door, and then went around to Cao Cao's back to harass him. Cao Cao simply ordered the destruction of Fang Zhiwen's camp and the materials were stolen.

This day passed so boringly again.

At night, the rain was still falling, and Fang Zhiwen's harassment would not stop. Cao Cao was very surprised. Could Fang Zhiwen's weapons not be affected by the heavy rain?

Finally, Cao Cao was sleeping in a daze, and then woke up by Cao Xiu holding the shield!

"Lord, lord, Qiao County urgently reported it!"

Cao Cao suddenly sat up, but did not attack Cao Xiu this time, but asked anxiously: "Why are you urgently reporting? What's wrong with Qiao County?"

"Please see, lord!"

Cao Xiu hurriedly handed the message in his hand, marking that the one that was 100,000 was not opened. Cao Cao was sleeping so hard that his eyes were a little bored, and the light in the tent was poor. After a while of anxiety, Cao Cao opened the message and opened the message. Cao Xiu quickly took the candlelight and Cao Cao opened the letter to look.

After a sweep, Cao Cao's face suddenly sank and he said anxiously: "Please ask Zhicai to discuss matters quickly!"

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai came in a hurry, his face still a little tired. Cao Cao was already dressed neatly, looking like he was ready to go to war.

"Lord, what's the situation in Qiao County?"

"Zhongde wrote that last night, the senior cadres suddenly arrived in Qiao County, and then together with Yuan Shao, launched a fierce attack at night. Lu Bu also participated in the siege. Although our army fought hard, it was still taken off the north gate of the outer city by the enemy, and the war was unfavorable."

"Fang Zhiwen's purpose is indeed Qiao County!"

"Yes, it seems that he just wanted to trick his true nature out. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was so obedient and even attacked Qiao County at all costs."

"Lord, now our army should return to the army to respond immediately and evacuate the court from Qiao County!"

"Where is Fang Zhiwen?"

"The road is slippery and the road is slippery, and Fang Zhiwen has been fighting for two days. The supply supply is certainly insufficient. I guess they will take advantage of the situation to retreat north."

"You mean, Fang Zhiwen will give us the opportunity to withdraw from Qiao County smoothly?"

"That's right, what's the point of coming from the court? It's just a burden, so he's definitely willing to let us leave Qiao County smoothly, but Chen County is more troublesome."

"Chen County... can only defend to the end, what about Yuan Shao?"

"Yuan Shao? If Yuan Shao dares to chase him, he will teach him a lesson!"
