Chapter 3233 City

Not far northwest of Liyang, there is a small earth mountain called Lishan.

Wei Yan's men were lying in ambush.

"Why haven't Li Yang's troops come yet?"

The old horse head beside Wei Yan looked in the direction of Li Yang and murmured.

In the past few days, Wei Yan's subordinates have gradually gained more confidence in the current situation.

At the beginning, they believed that the raid of Yecheng with infantry was a life-and-death mission. Even if they attacked Yecheng, they might not be able to capture it. Moreover, because it was two legs, they might not be able to escape when they really wanted to transfer. As long as Cao's army rushed over from all over the place, they would be in danger.

Follow Wei Yan, just because Wei Yan himself went up.

In many cases, the soldiers and soldiers are not really afraid of death, but they see the leading generals rushing in front, so even if they are in a sea of ​​swords and fire, they will step over with them!

On the contrary, if the general shouts behind all day long, as long as his thoughts don't slip...

Ahem.

Now, Wei Yan's soldiers suddenly discovered that the Cao army in Jizhou did not look like they imagined, or what they had imagined before!

The Cao army here is like a group of civilians holding swords and guns. They fight and run away, and they are defeated as soon as they run away, and they have almost no combat power.

So my courage gradually grew up, and I felt that I could accompany Wei Yan for a crazy time.

"How long have you been away?" Wei Yan asked.

The old horse looked up at the sky.

Although there are clouds in the sky and the stars cannot be seen clearly, it is strange that the old horse head can still judge the approximate time, "It's about three or four hours..."

Wei Yan nodded.

Just like a carrier pigeon can feel the geomagnetism, people actually have some sixth sense, but most people usually don’t use it, so they are getting more and more deteriorated. Some people are sensitive to time, some are keen to space, and of course, some are the opposite. If you don’t have a navigation trip, you may not be able to go home.

Or even if there is navigation, I feel that there is something wrong with navigation...

The old horse looked at Wei Yan. He felt that Wei Yan was not completely crazy, at least he did not rashly attack Yecheng with five hundred soldiers. "General... are you really not worried... this Cao army... ah ha?"

Wei Yan chuckled softly, "What are you afraid of like this Cao army? The elite Cao army confronted the lord, even if some of them remained in Hebei and Henan, they were still in the core areas such as Xu County and Yecheng... As for the surrounding counties... Haha..."

"I'm just afraid of being surrounded," Lao Matou muttered, "This hero is still hard to beat four-handed..."

『Ha,』 Wei Yan smiled, 『If you are surrounded, go out!』

"If this is true, then we're just in vain?"

Wei Yan smiled even more happily, "How could it be? Think about it carefully."

"Ah?" Old Ma was stunned for a moment.

Before Lao Ma could figure it out, someone whispered a message in front of him, "Master! Someone is coming in front..."

Wei Yan was overjoyed, poked his head out and asked, "How many people have come?"

The scout who came to report the news also ran back, panting, first gestured with his fingers, took a few breaths, and then said: "Nearly a thousand people are coming!"

"What? So much?" Lao Ma was shocked.

Wei Yan couldn't help but frown slightly.

His original plan was to make a false report, transfer some Li Yang's defenders out, then ambush them, and then find new opportunities based on the specific situation...

Wei Yan could not imagine that Li Yang's guard was a rookie and claimed to be very tall. He thought that Wei Yan and others were just remnants of the Black Mountains, so he planned to create a big wave to show his bravery. He originally just asked for help from a soldier, but he came with two songs of men.

"Can it be that Cao's army came to reinforcements from Yanzhou and Yuzhou?" Lao Ma's head changed a little.

If it is really the Cao army from Yanzhou, Yuzhou, it means that their danger has increased, and the original plan must be changed immediately. It is best to withdraw the surrounding area of ​​Taihang Mountain so that they can escape back at any time.

And we must speed up the transportation of materials, otherwise we will not be able to leave without food and grass.

The current situation is that both sides rely on guessing.

Before the dice lid was lifted, no one knew how many six were inside.

For Wei Yan, they were alone and had to evacuate if they could not achieve great results.

All the surroundings were enemy troops. Although most of the elite Cao army were transferred to the front line, the Cao army soldiers who stayed in the rear seemed to be of average quality now, if they encountered some elite Cao soldiers of the central guards who were left behind, Wei Yan might not have any good results.

Although Wei Yan looked at the surface, he was under a lot of pressure.

Not to mention whether two hundred people can win by 1,000 enemies, once one side is seriously injured and more wounded soldiers will inevitably drag down the journey. Cao's army seizes the opportunity, and there will be a danger of being annihilated next.

"It's better to be safer..." Old Matou whispered.

Wei Yan frowned, as if he was thinking.

Others look at Wei Yan as if they are crazy, but Wei Yan himself does not think he is crazy.

Since entering Jizhou, he has always followed the principle of "win first and fight later". While transporting grain and grass into the mountains, he created various false news and invaded surrounding counties and townships to avoid being surrounded by Cao's army step by step.

But on the battlefield, there are many changes and it is impossible to achieve your ideal state every time.

"No chance, forget it. There are too many people, it's not cost-effective." Old Ma said, "If you don't have it, just withdraw. Let them lose everything, and we won't lose anything."

Wei Yan nodded and said, "Let them go."

Lao Matou breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful...

Fortunately, Wei Yan was not impulsive.

Unfortunately, it took two days to make arrangements, but it was a success in the end.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Wei Yan's second half of the sentence.

"Let's go, let's go raid Liyang."

『Ah, ah?!』

"What, go quickly."

Wei Yan stood up first, then quietly avoided the people from Li Yang and headed towards Li Yang.

Although Wei Yan has suffered casualties since entering Jizhou, it has not been too large.

He is like a gambler, but he also cherishes his troops and is not afraid of taking risks. However, when there are many uncertainties, he will not make any rash mistakes.

Wei Yan originally planned to ambush Li Yang's reinforcements. In this way, Li Yang would be more cautious when he received the next mission to dispatch troops, and even repeatedly confirmed it. On the other hand, it would also weaken Li Yang's strength and reduce Wei Yan's risk in Chaoge.

But after he discovered that a thousand soldiers came west, the situation was completely different.

This is not only a matter of number of people, but most importantly...

Where did so many soldiers come from Liyang City?

Not only will the city of Liyang be empty because of this?

If it was reinforcements from other places, could he pretend to be reinforcements and take advantage of the troubled waters?

Wei Yan then decided to give up the ambush and instead test Li Yang, but also strived to minimize his own losses.

Anyway, Wei Yan and others are already very skilled in sneak attacking county towns without any warning...

...

...

At dawn, fifty Cao army soldiers looked like swaggering and heading straight towards Liyang City Gate.

"After the order of a different leader, there will be important military information reporting!"

The shouting soldier had a Qinghe accent and some of the unique tone of the children of Jizhou.

The guards on the garrison on Liyang City yawned and stretched out their heads, "Ahhh... Oh, why are there military information again? Is there a token token?"

A basket was hung from the top of the city wall, and a token was put in.

The defenders rushed up and saw that it was a token of Sima from another department. The character "Chen" on the back. Whether it was in the style or the dark pattern, it was undoubtedly Cao's own token. It was just that it was not the word "Zhong" but it was an ordinary Sima, but it was normal. The guys who had the noses on the top of the head of the Central Leader Army would not look like a dizzy look.

The defenders didn't care much, waved their hands and asked someone to open the city gate...

Then, Wei Yan smiled.

The tranquility in Liyang City in the early morning was quickly broken.

"The city is broken!"

"The cavalry is coming in!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The shouts sounded on the streets, and Li Yang's defenders either looked around in a daze or left with their heads down...

The noise was shaking the sky. Cao Ying, who was in Li Yang, was awakened in his beautiful dream. He rolled and crawled out of the bedroom in disheveled clothes, grabbed the guard and asked in a scream: "What happened? What happened?"

The guard also looked pale, "It's not good, it's said that the cavalry and his horse have come into the city!"

"Cars and Horses!" Cao Ying suddenly felt that the legs were hot and cold, "How is this possible?! This is impossible!"

But the cries and howlings in the streets were like slapping randomly on Cao Ying's face.

"County lieutenant! What should we do now?" the guard said anxiously.

"Take, take... take my seal, ribbon, and armor!" Cao Ying stood up straight with trembling trembling.

Seeing that Cao Ying was saying this, the guard thought that Cao Ying was going to fight with the cavalry and whispered: "County lieutenant, these cavalry are cruel... They are not capable of fighting, they can only win the wits..."

Cao Ying glared and said, "You still have to say this? Hurry up, go and get the seal and ribbon, and follow me to Baimajin to bring the rescue soldiers!"

The guard was overjoyed and quickly did as he did.

When Cao Ying ran away, the city became more and more disorderly.

The county magistrate of Liyang was still trembling, but when he heard that the county magistrate had run away, why are you still staying?

Run away too!

But he doesn't look like Cao Ying...

As the lord of a county, he earned more than Cao Ying and suddenly left, so where could he get rid of it?

When he felt much more painful and had to give up his love, he hugged his head and looked tearful, and just ran into Wei Yan when he ran out of the door.

Wei Yan and others were still wearing Cao's army's armor, and they just wrapped cloth strips around their arms as marks. But the county magistrate of Liyang was not clear. When he saw it suddenly, he thought it was his own soldiers, so he was overjoyed and sent a servant to shout: "Wu Naqiu Ba! I'm not here to serve the county master!"

Wei Yan looked up and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, okay! Let me come and serve the county magistrate!"

...

...

Let’s talk about the two songs of Cao’s army who led Cao Ying’s “order” to support Chaoge.

Logically speaking, these Cao troops should have been on the verge of speed, after all, the military situation is like fire, right?

But the problem is that these Cao troops did not want to support them at all, nor did they want to participate in the Chaoge war. Moreover, Cao Ying didn't even go to himself, so this army was very slow and had not yet been able to leave the Liyang realm after walking for most of the day.

It was still early, and these people screamed and said that it was getting late and they had to rest...

As a result, in the evening, someone sent a new order.

This time, instead of ordering them to go to Chaoge, they ordered them to return immediately!

Return to Liyang!

It is said that Li Yang's safety cannot be ignored, and we must strictly prevent the invasion of surrounding bandits.

"Where did the bandits come from?"

The military academy led the team sneered.

But the military order contains a seal from the magistrate of Liyang County.

This is very embarrassing...

Could it be that the county magistrate is dissatisfied with the county magistrate sending so many people to support him?

Are the two people having a conflict?

This situation is also very likely.

After all, Cao Ying belongs to the "airborne" and is harmonious with the local county magistrates on the surface, but in fact, everyone's hearts are like a mirror.

This time, Cao Ying sent two rosters to support Chaoge. On the one hand, Cao Ying fell into Wei Yan's plan, and on the other hand, Cao Yingzhen felt that Chaoge was just a bandit soldier in the Black Mountains. There was not much danger here, but it was a good opportunity to make contributions!

In addition, Cao Ying had another thought. He sent military soldiers who were favored by the county magistrate, and those who stayed in Liyang were basically close to Cao Ying. In this way, even if these people really returned in triumph, Cao Ying could take this opportunity to hold the county magistrate in his hands and completely control Li Yang...

So the county magistrate discovered this and it is very likely that he would pull Cao Ying back with his hand.

But all this has nothing to do with the military academy and others, they just feel exhausted.

This is a fine tradition in Shandong. When can the internal strife be calm for a while?

"The county magistrate asked us to support Chaoge..."

Some people raised objections, and then they were opposed by more people.

"The county master said there were bandits, that means there were bandits!"

『Is this important to one's own family or to others' other people'

『Is the county magistrate or the county magistrate?』

"Are you going to resist the order?!"

So, the two songs temporarily dispatched the Cao army soldiers gathered together, and quickly pulled out the camp in chaos and turned around and returned towards Li Yang.

Then, these two songs of nearly a thousand Cao army soldiers, who had been outing outside Liyang for a whole day, were tired, hungry and tired, rushing towards Liyang with their heads buried, and crashed into Wei Yan's ambush circle.

『Kill!』

The old horse stabbed out a spear and stabbed Cao Jun, who was running around, to the ground.

At the beginning, he thought it was too scary to fight so many Cao's army, but now he is fighting, and he feels that there are so many Cao's army, and it is not as troublesome as he imagined...

It turned out that Lao Ma and the others were worried that they were elite Cao Bing reinforcements from Yuzhou. As soon as they captured the Liyang County Magistrate, they realized that they were just ordinary county soldiers from Liyang. So what else could they hesitate?

Wei Yan's subordinates were screaming, as fierce as a tiger going down the mountain!

The soldiers of Cao's army were stunned by Wei Yan's ambush!

They have many people, but they are not responsible!

When marching normally, not all swords and guns are brought by your side. Even armor is sometimes piled up on the baggage truck for the sake of lightweight equipment.

These Cao Jun were even more lazy and wished they could even put their butts on the car...

Once an ambush is encountered in this situation, there is no formation on the one hand and no weapons on the other hand. In addition, the Cao army soldiers are exhausted and are no match for Wei Yan and others at all. They are suddenly attacked and cannot take into account both fronts and backs.

In front of Cao's army, a military academy was still trying to resist, but after a while, he turned around and found that there were only a dozen soldiers left on his side!

These fewer Cao's soldiers may not have been killed by Wei Yan and others, but many of them saw that the situation was not good, so they immediately ran away.

This made Cao Jun Military Academy feel shocked and sad, and his heart suddenly became confused. Seeing another team of Wei Yan's subordinates rushing over, they bit their teeth, stomped their feet, and turned around and ran away...

Cao's army was defeated.

Nearly a thousand Cao army soldiers were killed or injured, and most of them were scattered in birds and beasts, and they had no intention of resisting. Many Cao army soldiers fled without hands and threw the baggage carts, mules, horses and so on to Wei Yan and others.

『We won! We won!』

The old horse head shouted, holding up the blood-stained spear and laughed.

There was also cheering around.

Wei Yan waved his arm and said, "Sweep the battlefield! Pick up useful ones!"

The soldiers responded and began to replace all the damaged weapons and armor in their hands.

Wei Yan came to a baggage cart, looked at the Cao army flags and armor on the baggage cart that was thrown away by Cao's soldiers, and pinched his chin and began to ponder...

No one expected that this adventure would be so smooth, and what they didn't expect was that the defense system in Shandong was so chaotic, and the soldiers left by Cao's army did not have much intention to fight...

If we say, whether it is in Chaoge or Liyang, as long as there is a leading Cao army officer who will not retreat, Wei Yan really can't get anything, but most of the gentry or officials in Shandong are good at corruption and internal fighting, and masters of specialization, but if we are against foreign enemies, we will immediately be thrust.

If you really talk about the land of Yanzhao, there are also generous people...

In history, Shandong and Hebei not only have founding heroes, but also many famous generals.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lian Po and Li Mu were born in Hebei.

In the Han Dynasty, there were also famous founding generals like Kou Xun who joined Liu Xiu with Geng Yan and were appointed as the partial general and the Marquis of Chengyi. After that, Kou Xun guarded Henei, governed Yingchuan and Runan, and assisted Liu Xiu in establishing the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Now there are Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang He, who are also from Hebei.

Even Yuan Shao's subordinates were Yan Liang and Wen Chou and others, all Hebei heroes and were famous all over the world...

But the problem is that these generous people and heroes from Hebei are either forced to exile or die, and have almost no good ending!

So who else can be found in Shandong and Hebei now?

After Yuan Shao failed to compete for ruling power with Cao Cao, the entire Jizhou was basically crushed to the ground by the people of Yuzhou. This was naturally a joy for the people of Yuzhou. They could reach out to Jizhou, just like Chen Qun acted as the chief minister of Jizhou. Cui Yan was nominally a Jizhou man, but most of the time he was supported to Yanzhou. Cui Yan was not allowed to stay in Jizhou for a long time...

If Cui Yan had not been needed to serve as a bridge for communication in Jizhou during this period, Cao Pi would not have let Cui Yan return to Jizhou!

Now, the evil consequences of the people from Yuzhou coming to Jizhou to occupy the magpie's nest are fully demonstrated under the external force of Wei Yan.

Will people in Yuzhou wholeheartedly guard Jizhou?

Will Jizhou localities be willing to work hard for the people of Yuzhou?

The city is similar every year, but the people are different every year.

The city is still the same city, but Jizhou is no longer the Hebei area of ​​the past...

The old horse head happily changed into a new military robe, "Not mentioning, this fabric is not bad! Lord, are we going back to Chaoge now?"

Wei Yan picked up a Cao army flag from the baggage van, stood beside him, and shook it twice, "What's the hurry... I suddenly had an idea...

After this period of battle and experience in Jizhou, Wei Yan seemed to have touched something or understood something.

"Ah?" The old Matou suddenly had some bad premonition, "What are you going to do again, Lord?"

Wei Yan laughed and pointed to the Cao army flags and armor around him, "You said, now we... are we considered the Cavalry Army or Cao army?"

The old horse's head and eyes turned, "Lord, you are..."
Chapter completed!
