Just as Pinglu City was in a tough battle, the angry Jiang Huan and his son also led 28,000 Shen troops to the city of Xingyang and attacked Xingyang with revenge.

The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty who were guarding the city were prepared. Xu Sheng, Zhurong and Ma Zhong three generals commanded 10,000 soldiers to spread to the city walls to defend. Xun Yu and Chen Deng also mobilized more than 20,000 people to assist in the defense, transported a large number of rolling stones to the city walls, and gave strong help to the defenders.

In addition, Xingyang's city was tall and sturdy, while Shen's army was unstable due to the fire in the backyard and its morale was low.

Jiang Huan rushed to attack for a day without any gains. Instead, he filled 1,500 lives under the city. He could only suspend the attack in depressed manner. While setting up camp under the city, he sent scouts north to spy on the Wei army.

When he learned that Jiang Huan went north to attack Xingyang, Fang Li led his troops from Dayu Mountain to enter the territory of Shen State, and took down the nearest Luyang, Liang County, Xincheng and other places, appointed officials to govern the local area, and completely erased the traces of Shen State.

Fearing that Xingyang was in trouble, Fang Li sent Zhao Yun to Wancheng to support Zhou Yu, while he and Dian Wei and Gao Shun led 6,000 Zhou troops to Xingyang to rescue the siege. Even if the troops were not as strong as the Shen army, they could at least relieve the pressure of the defenders.

Two days later, the Zhou army led by Fang Li arrived near Xingyang, set up camp thirty miles away from the Shenjun camp, and sandwiched the Shenjun camp with Xingyang City.

How to camp plays a crucial decisive role in the outcome. Fang Li did not casually find a piece of open space to camp, but made a decision after careful consideration.

The Shen army had more than 25,000 troops, five times that of the Zhou army led by Fang Li. If the two camps were too close, the Shen army would definitely come to rob the camp.

Moreover, there are two powerful generals in the Shen army formation, Jiang Batian and Jiang Kui who are under the leadership. When the troops have an absolute advantage, if they fight head-on, the Zhou army will be defeated. Fang Li believes that even if he and Dian Wei and Gao Shun command the Zhou army, they will not be able to change the outcome of the victory or defeat.

If they are too far apart, Jiang Huan will attack Xingyang without any scruples, which will not be able to restrain Shen's army and will not effectively alleviate the pressure on the defenders in the city.

So Fang Li chose the right distance of thirty miles, which not only made the Shen army afraid and dared not attack the city with all their might; he could also respond before the Shen army came to rob the camp, either defend or retreat, and respond flexibly.

Moreover, even if the camp was robbed by the Shen army and caused major casualties, Fang Li was not worried. Anyway, it was the army of the Zhou royal family, which could cause both the Zhou royal family and the Shen army to suffer losses.

Seeing that Zhou army was led by Fang Li, not only to help Tang expand its territory, but also to help guard the city, Zhou general Yin Ji complained in his heart. As soon as he set up a camp, he came to the commander's tent to see Fang Li, and said with a tribute: "Duke Tang, General Tang has just received a letter from General Guilan, and ordered me to lead his troops to Taigu to meet. Look..."

Fang Lizheng sat cross-legged behind the scenes and looked at the map. He raised his eyebrows and said in a suffocational manner, "Well... When the army left Luoyang, Your Majesty appointed me as the chief general. Do I want to listen to Guiling?"

"There is no such intention in the end!"

Yin Ji defended with a sad face, "The last general heard that General Zhou Gongjin had taken Wancheng, and your country's army also controlled almost all the Shen country's territory. It is probably unreasonable for Mr. Tang to continue to use our army to deal with Shen army..."

Fang Li slapped the table and snorted coldly: "It's like a frog in the well. No wonder Jiang Huan has been bullying Your Majesty. Just by the short-sightedness of you generals, how can you maintain the dignity of the royal family?"

"Yes, yes... what Mr. Tang taught me is that the general is really stupid!" Yin Ji knew the current affairs and was lifeless towards Fang Li's accusations and even humiliation, but instead looked like he was humble and was taught.

Fang Li continued: "Although our army has controlled most of the cities of Shen State, Jiang Huan and his son are still there, and their troops are still there. If they cannot be wiped out, they will be rekindled at any time. Let all our previous efforts be wasted. This is not the result that Your Majesty wants. What I promised to Your Majesty was to capture Jiang Huan and his son alive in the Luoyang Hall. If General Yin wants to withdraw his troops, let Your Majesty issue an edict to me..."

Fang Li slapped the tiger talisman on the table as he spoke: "Otherwise, the tiger talisman is here, the generals of the three armies can only be me! Whoever dares to disobey the orders and disobey the evil words, don't blame me for turning against me!"

"Yes, yes... I was short-sighted and confused for a moment. Please forgive me for your crime!" Yin Ji was shocked and hurriedly said withdrew.

After driving Yin Ji away, Fang Li walked out of the patrol camp to inspect the camp. He saw that the sky was completely dark, and a full moon jumped out of the horizon from the east, and the earth shining brightly.

"Oh, it's another full moon night?"

Fang Li frowned and thought, "It's already mid-February. It won't take long to end the severe cold. The earth will rejuvenate, the ice melts, and all things will revive. The princes in the world will inevitably mobilize their troops and generals, and the war is probably not far away. Jiang Huan's team must be destroyed as soon as possible and Shen Guo is firmly in his palm."

Just as Fang Li was in a state of excitement, the system prompt sound in his mind suddenly rang: "Congratulations to the lord... The reward for winning the 50 merit points in Wancheng has arrived..."

"Congratulations to the lord, the 20 merit points rewards that have won in Luyang have arrived..."

"Congratulations to the lord, you have won all the rewards from Ye County, Mi County, Jia County, Hangzhou Township, Liang County, Xincheng and other places, and each rewards 10 merit points. At present, the lord has 130 merit points and can summon generals to help at any time."

"It's just raining in time, charcoal in the snow!"

Fang Li was overjoyed and hurriedly returned to the coach's tent to sit down. He took out his mobile phone from his arms and swiped the screen into the dot-station platform. Without hesitation, he chose to spend 100 merit points to recruit famous players.

"Our Tang Dynasty is located in the center, and there are enemies around it. It is not enough to rely on Zhou Yu, a coach. It is best to recruit a coach who can stand alone! Lu Xun, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang is the best. It really doesn't work. Guan Yu, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai can do it..."

"Clang... The lord chose to spend 100 merit points to recruit famous generals, and will randomly obtain an orange or purple-quality famous general in the Three Kingdoms. Please wait!"

As soon as the system finished speaking, the orange light flashed on the screen, the room was shining, the clouds were simmering, and the clouds were simmering, like dreams.

I saw a military general about 35 or 36 years old, relatively short and plain, but his eyes were awe-inspiring. His majestic gaze seemed like a bottomless abyss, which was hard to understand.

Before the system sounded, a guard came to report: "Report to the lord, a short man came outside the camp gate. He kept asking the lord to meet him in person, otherwise he would go to another country."

"I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived!"

Fang Li held back the excitement in his heart and refused to let him shout it out. Why didn’t he expect Cao Cao just now? This is the talent with the highest control ability of the Three Kingdoms. It’s not comparable to Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others!

Although Cao Cao was a treacherous hero in history, he used the emperor to command the princes and played Emperor Xian of Han in applause, Xu Zijiang's evaluation of him was "a treacherous hero in troubled times and a capable minister in peace and peace." If he could control Cao Cao, he might be able to use his talents for me.

"Bring him in!"

Fang Li hurriedly locked the screen of his phone, hid it under the map, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and gave an order as if nothing had happened.

In a short while, the guard walked into the handsome tent with a man less than seven feet tall and about 1.6 meters before Fang Li traveling through time, about 35 or 36 years old. He had an ordinary appearance, but his words and deeds showed a sense of majesty.

Fang Li knew that this person was the number one treacherous hero of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde!

"The villain Cao Mengde pays homage to Duke Tang!"

Cao Cao bowed and bowed to Fang Li, with a humble attitude: "Cao Cao from Qiao County, Chen State, whose name is Meng De. Because he admired the reputation of Gong Tang, he came to join him. He was willing to serve the work of Gong Tang and fight the world!"

Who is Cao Cao? A generation of treacherous heroes have a strong ambition in their hearts. Fang Li must show his spirit to shock him, so that Cao Cao can understand that he cannot escape from Fang Li's palm, and can only be a capable minister in governing the world, so that he can serve him wholeheartedly.

Fang Li nodded slightly and said with a majestic look on his face: "I am very pleased that Cao Mengde can choose me among the princes in the world. But there is something unknown. Why didn't Mengde serve you Chen State, but instead look for the distance?"

Cao Cao stood straight, even though he was short, he could not lose his spirit. He bowed and said, "I don't have to serve the country, because my country Chen is stupid and nepotist, and has no strategy to the outside world. He is swaying among the major vassal states. He is in a state of Jin and Chu, and now Wu Ming and Han have many enemies, and it is only a matter of time before he is destroyed."

He paused, glanced at Fang Li, and continued, "Good birds choose trees to live in, and famous officials choose masters to work. The world is full of wind and clouds. Which hero does not want to follow the wise masters, establish a successor, and be famous in history? Tang Duke used his disciples to scatter Jin and destroy Shen, recruit heroes, reform officials, and dominate the Central Plains, just like the rising sun. Who else can the heroes of the world give Tang Duke?"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Fang Li suddenly thought of the scene of discussing heroes by cooking wine, and remembered what Cao Cao said to Liu Bei, "The only heroes in the world are the only envoys and Cao Cao." Will one day he would taste the green plums with Cao Cao on a thunderstorm day and discuss heroes by cooking wine?

Fang Li nodded and praised: "Meng De said it well, it is rare that you look down on me. If you have the ability, I will never be buried. Let me talk about your way of governing the country or using military force first?"

Cao Cao clasped his fists and said, "Cao is quite famous in his hometown Qiao County. My brothers and nephews are all skilled in archery and horses. This time Cao also brought them to join Duke Tang."

"This time there is really a Cao gift pack!"

Fang Li was delighted and said calmly on the surface, "I wonder what the names of these brothers Meng De are called?"

Cao Cao clasped his fists and said, "My cousin Cao Ren, whose courtesy name is Zixiao, is well-read in military books and is proficient in martial arts. His cousin Cao Zhen is eighteen years old and is a young talent. Although he is a little inferior to Zixiao, he is also a talent!"

"It turned out to be Cao Renzhen...the combination is so cool!"

Fang Li almost laughed out loud and asked with a stern face, "Then, is there any call you called Cao... good?" Mobile phone users please browse m to read for a better reading experience.
