Luoyang City, Sikong Mansion lobby, the atmosphere was solemn. More than an hour had passed since the news of the civil rebellion. Cao Cao's troops had been sent out to quell the rebellion, and the scouts quickly went to all parties to inquire about the news and are now waiting for the results.

In fact, the civil unrest was too sudden. Now Cao Cao and his staff still find it difficult to find out the reason. They can only guess that it was Zhang Liao's old subordinates.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and leaned on the brocade couch. Seeing his left and right expressions nervous, he suddenly laughed.

Everyone who was nervous saw Cao Cao suddenly laughing, and couldn't help looking at each other. Dong Zhao, who had just joined Cao Cao, got up and asked, "I wonder why Ming Gong laughed?"

Cao Cao comforted his grave and said, "In the first year of Zhongping, Zhang Jiao was in rebellion. I and Huangfu Song fought. But I saw millions of Yellow Turban thieves gathered like locusts, and the disaster spread throughout the world. However, it took only a year to settle. Even if there are people in Luoyang, there are only more than 100,000 people. And I have Xiahou brothers, Cao Zixiao, Yu Wenze, Le Wenqian, Shi Gong Liu, are all brave and good at fighting. Why fear them? Don't worry!"

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, but Cheng Yu frowned and said, "This civil chaos must be the bewitching of Zhang Liao's old subordinates. Ming Gong should not ignore it easily, and do not forget the lessons of the prince's army."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Li Jue and Guo Si were in rebellion, and there were 100,000 soldiers and horses. In addition, the Liangzhou people were fierce, so there were the Chang'an Rebellion. Now Zhang Liao's old subordinates are mostly in all prefectures and counties. How could there be 100,000 soldiers and horses? I am not a prince's army. If Zhang Liao is here, I should avoid it. After Zhang Liao died, there will be no leader. Even if his old subordinates cause rebellion, the generals can quell it."

Cheng Yu pondered and said, "It is better to be cautious. Jia Xu is in Hedong and should not be underestimated. Han Hao is nowhere to be seen. Zhang Liao's old subordinates are also different from Dong Zhuo's old subordinates. Now the people are in chaos in the capital. Eight passes cannot be guarded. The most important thing is to guard Mangshan in the north, Luoshui in the south, Zhangfanggou in the west, and Dongyang canal in the east..."

Luoyang City is different from Chang'an City. It only has an imperial city and no outer city. Outside the imperial city, houses spread in all directions, but there are still barriers to guard on all sides, namely Beimang Mountain, West Zhangfanggou, Dongyang Que and Nanluo Water as barriers.

After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao was about to speak, but saw Cao Hong coming hurriedly outside.

Seeing that he looked anxious, Cao Cao felt a sudden slap in his heart and hurriedly asked: "Zi Lian, how is the battle?"

Cao Hong said anxiously: "Ming Gong, the thief is fierce and the war is unfavorable. Han Hao, Gao Shun, and Xu Rong are generals, and there are more than 10,000 heavy cavalry. Zhang Fanggou's situation is critical..."

Cao Cao was frightened and immediately stood up: "You guys follow me to Guangyang Gate to check the enemy situation."

Guangyang Gate was in the southwest corner of Luoyang Imperial City. When Cao Cao and his staff climbed to Guangyang Gate, Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Yang Biao and others also went to Guangyang Gate.

On the gatehouse, you can already hear the sound of war drums. From a distance, you can see smoke and dust rising from the west. Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked solemn, and Liu Bei also looked solemn.

The two of them took advantage of Dong Cheng and the emperor's plan to plot against Zhang Liao and took advantage of the opportunity to seize power. But now they have to face revenge on Zhang Liao's old subordinates.

If Zhang Liao was still there, they could still talk about friendship with Zhang Liao and deal with it. But now that Zhang Liao is dead, those old subordinates and the people who are in trouble think that they have harmed Zhang Liao and use the slogan to kill them, how could they talk about friendship with them?

The two of them had the intention of sacrificing Zhang Liao, but before these methods could be effective, the accident had already happened in a flash.

Cao Cao frowned and turned to ask Liu Bei: "Xuande, your brother Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Yide are all brave enough to be inappropriate. Where can we quell the rebellion?"

Liu Bei replied: "There is a hundred miles south of the city, and the people are in great chaos. My brother has gone to the south of the city."

Cao Cao shook his head: "Otherwise, although there are many chaotic people in the south of the city, it is not enough to worry about it. Those who can think about it are only the north of the city in the west, Gao Shun goes from the east of He, and Xu Rong goes from Guanzhong, all coming from the west, which is a great disaster. You can quickly adjust Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide goes to the west of the city to defeat the enemy."

"This..." Liu Bei couldn't help but ponder.

Cao Cao raised his thick eyebrows and pointed to the northwest: "They killed me with the mouth. If I break through the imperial city, how can you be spared? How can Your Majesty be spared? You can concentrate your troops and destroy the old Zhangliao troops in the west of the city first, and then the southeast will be easy to settle."

When Liu Bei saw Cao Cao's sharp attitude of turning against each other, he turned against him because Cao Cao was the general of chariots and cavalry, and nominally commanded his troops, he even mentioned the safety of the emperor, so he could only say: "In this way, I will call my brother to come."

After saying that, he hurried down the gatehouse.

At this time, Yang Biao said on the side: "Your Majesty has an edict to quell the rebellion and should not slaughter the people at will."

Cao Cao snorted: "The thief is in chaos. If you are bound to your hands, the defeat of the court is only at hand!"

Cheng Yu said: "There are many thieves and chaos. If they are delayed, Zhang Liao's old subordinates gather and become more numerous. If the country is worried about the overthrow, the edict should be issued quickly, and Yuan Shao, Xuzhou Lu Bu, Jiangdong Sun Ce, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Zhang, attack the old subordinates of Zhang Liao in various prefectures and counties, cut off the rear routes of the bandits to garrison the capital."

Cao Cao was happy when he heard this: "This is a plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves!"

Liu Yu said on the side, "With Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang are all former alliances of Zhang Liao, how could they attack Zhang Liao's old subordinates?"

Cheng Yu said: "If Zhang Liao was there and the alliance was there, they would naturally not move lightly. Now that Zhang Liao is dead, Cao Gong is responsible for the emperor to calm the world. But he issued an edict to pacify Zhang Liao's old subordinates. How dare they disobey the order?"

Liu Yu was silent, and Cao Cao immediately ordered Dong Zhao to draft an edict, mail the imperial edict, and entrust foreign aid.

...

To the west of Luoyang, Zhangfanggou.

People roar, horses neigh, war drums are like thunder, and murderous aura is like tigers.

To the west of Zhangfanggou, there are all people, all of whom are young and strong. The forefathers are holding sharp blades and fierce murderous auras. Obviously, they are all disguised by warriors.

There were about 3,000 people in the middle of the army, each wearing iron helmets and heavy armor, holding swords and shields in front and spears in the back, and the array was neat and stern. Three thousand people charged forward like a mountain, which was the camp led by Gao Shun!

After trapping the camp, there were 5,000 crossbowmen, who thought they were covered.

Zhangfanggou travels north and south, about one mile wide from east to west. There is a earth bridge built with earth and stones across it, about five meters wide, which is a major road. It attacks and defends one by one, and fights fiercely on this earth bridge.

The guards of the Zhangfanggou line were Cao Ren, a brave and capable general under Cao Cao, who was both brave and good at fighting and both offensive and defense, and Xiahou Yuan also had support from Xiahou Yuan. However, at this time, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan could not stop Gao Shun's camp at all.

Gao Shun was the best at training troops and was an elite force built by the camp. Zhang Liao was not stingy with the generals who were most loyal to him and gave the camp the best equipment. During the fight, Cao Ren's soldiers attacked and could not penetrate the heavy armor of the soldiers of the camp. They could not penetrate the spear, arrows could not be shot through, and swords could not be cut into. However, the weapons of the camp were unceremonious to kill Cao soldiers. Compared with the two, Cao soldiers were all desperate and their morale was despaired.

What's more, there were five thousand crossbow soldiers after the camp. Cooperating with the charge of the camp, waves of arrows poured out and killed, causing Cao's soldiers to suffer heavy losses.

Wherever the camp passed, it was almost destroyed and invincible.

Cao Ren roared angrily, but could not stop the rush of the camp and could only retreat step by step.

In the pursuit battle, the camp was powerless, but in this positional battle, the camp created by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun was unparalleled in the world!

There was almost no pause, and the Sanqian Clan rushed across the earth bridge, opened the passage, and entered the earth east of Zhangfanggou.

Then nearly 10,000 cavalry rushed from the west, like a dragon wielding wind and thunder, stepped across the earth bridge, separated from the left and right, rushed into the east of Zhangfanggou from the wings of the camp, and launched a charge towards Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan!

At the same time, the soldiers who pretended to be ordinary people also rushed across the earth bridge with slogans, full of murderous intent.

Cao Cao always thought that as soon as Zhang Liao died, his soldiers would scatter like a tree falling from money. It was not worth worrying, but he did not know that Zhang Liao's soldiers were not as good as Dong Zhuo's soldiers. Zhang Liao was carrying out elite soldiers, with few soldiers, but the treatment was the best. Moreover, there were teaching staff in the army. In addition, the cultivation and education of grassroots generals and officials by Jingyuan Martial Arts Hall made Zhang Liao's prestige in the army and his status was unique.

Zhang Liao has absolute control over the army under his command. Similarly, the soldiers under Zhang Liao also have absolute loyalty to Zhang Liao and even highly admire him!

Therefore, after the news that Zhang Liao was harmed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the emperor spread in the army, the soldiers were frightened and angry, and the camps were filled with excitement, and they all vowed to avenge Zhang Liao. It was the sad soldiers who would win. In the battle, whether it was the camp or other soldiers, they showed 120% of their combat power in anger.
