Chapter 56: Reinforcements Arrive, Cao Rear 2

Half a day later, Li Yan, who was in the Tiger Prison Pass, had already received Liu Qing's letter, in which Liu Qing explained the causes and consequences of occupying Chenliu, and explained that Cao Cao was coming to Chenliu with an army of 200,000 troops, hoping that Li Yan could lead the garrison of the Tiger Prison Pass to help Chenliu.

After Li Yan read the letter, he did not hesitate, and immediately gathered the generals of the Tiger Prison Pass garrison, and sent soldiers to report to Luoyang At this time, Li Yan called his generals and issued orders to some more reliable cronies, so that they could continue to garrison the Tiger Prison with more than 10,000 people, and he himself went straight to Chenliu with 40,000 troops, although the 40,000 troops were very few, but they could still solve the temporary worries.

Li Yan's army was also marching very fast, and at noon the next day, Liu Qing was still bored and discussing with the soldiers of the God of War Battalion, when suddenly a soldier came to report that Chen Liuxi had found a large number of troops coming towards Chen Liu.

Looking at the soldier's hurried appearance, Liu Qing smiled and shouted loudly to Zhao Yun, who was instructing the soldiers of the God of War Battalion in martial arts, "Zilong ......."

"Lord, what's the matter" Zhao Yun hurriedly came over when he heard this.

Liu Qing looked at Zhao Yun, who was sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Good thing, Li Yan has arrived not far outside the city, let's go to greet him."

"Really"

"Hehe, that's still fake"

"Ah, so I'll go change my clothes first"

Looking at Zhao Yun's appearance, Liu Qing almost suspected that Zhao Yun had an improper relationship with Li Yan, but when he thought that Li Yan was already married, he was relieved, "Okay, everyone is a man, what kind of clothes to change, let's go."

"Yes, my lord"

Liu Qing took Zhao Yun, Heixiong and others, and when they arrived outside the west gate of Chen Liucheng, the reinforcements brought by Li Yan had not yet arrived.

"Coming" Liu Qing saw that Li Yan had not yet come, so he shouted loudly, and with Liu Qing's words, a relative came to Liu Qing and knelt down and said: "Lord."

"Go, explore ahead, and see where Li Yan's army has been"

"No"

Just when the soldier finished shouting, Zhao Yun suddenly said loudly to Liu Qing: "Lord, here."

"Eh" Liu Qing heard this, looked ahead, and sure enough, it was black, and an army lined up in a neat line appeared opposite Liu Qing, led by a young general wearing a full set of armor, holding a spear, and a grim face.

Although there were still two or three hundred meters away, Liu Qing could still see it very clearly, that person was Li Yan.

Just when Liu Qing and the others saw Li Yan, Li Yan himself also saw Liu Qing and Zhao Yun, so a smile appeared on his cold face, his right hand was raised, and he shouted loudly: "Stop" With Li Yan's words, the front of the 40,000 army stopped advancing, and Li Yan himself rode towards Liu Qing after the army stopped advancing.

"Meet the lord" Li Yan took a few cronies and generals, rode to Liu Qing at a distance of dozens of meters, and together, went straight to Liu Qing, knelt on one knee, and worshipped.

Liu Qing looked at Li Yan in front of him, who had already left a pinch of mustache on his young and cold face, and helped Li Yan up with a smile and said: "Zhengfang, hurry up, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to be so polite, go us into the city, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you."

"Thank you" Li Yan followed Liu Qing's hand, got up, said to Liu Qing, and after finishing speaking, he turned to the general behind him and said: "You arrange for the soldiers to enter the city, remember not to spare the people" Li Yan solemnly instructed his subordinates.

"No," the generals left.

Liu Qing looked at Li Yan's proper control and proper order, and was very pleased, "Zhengfang, seeing you again, you are really much more mature, have you thought about fighting other princes with me?"

"Li Yan is at the mercy of the Lord" Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Hehe, that's good, after the defense of Chenliu is over this time, you can follow me to Liangzhou, as for the matter of the Tiger Prison Pass, I will send someone to defend it" Liu Qing looked at the happy Li Yan and said with a smile.

Zhao Yun on the side also laughed when he saw that Liu Qing gave Li Yan a chance.

"Lord, rest assured, my subordinates will definitely go to the soup for the lord."

"Hehe, this doesn't have to be, you should be close to your good brother now"

When Li Yan heard this, he turned his attention to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun looked at Li Yan and directly punched him, "You kid is not righteous, you don't greet my brother when we meet" Zhao Yun actually made a joke, which surprised Liu Qing on the side.

Li Yan and Zhao Yun talked and laughed, and followed Liu Qing into Chenliu.

Liu Qing set up a banquet for Li Yan to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and after it was over, he directly let Li Yan's army take over Chen Liu's city defense, as for the Cao army that threw in, there was unified training by Zhao Yun, and the God of War Battalion was still trained according to their routine.

Seeing that the second day of the day had passed, and finally in the afternoon of this day, Cao Cao's army came to the outside of Chenliu City, and the Cao army that arrived outside Chenliu did not appear under the Chenliu city wall, but first set up camp two miles outside the city, rested with food, and recuperated.

Just when Cao Cao's army came to fight Chen Liuwai, Huang Zhong, who was in Bochang, Qingzhou, also got Liu Qing's letter.

"Yes, the lord sent a letter, indicating that Chen Liu has been occupied by our army, but there are not many troops defending Chen Liu, but Cao Cao personally led 200,000 troops straight to Chen Liu, the lord asked me to organize the army to send Le'an, fight in Cao Cao's rear, and the class can recapture Le'an, and at the same time it can also reduce the pressure on Chen Liu, what do you think" Huang Zhong read the letter, and said to Yi who was doing it on the side.

In fact, Yi has been in Beihai, but because he is in charge of this blood, he also got the movement of Cao Cao's army, so he came to Bochang today to find Huang Zhong, explaining that at this time, it was suggested that Huang Zhong take this opportunity to attack Le'an, but he didn't expect to meet Huang Zhong who received Liu Qing's order to attack Le'an.

Shi Yi listened to Huang Zhong's words and laughed, "General Huang, you may not know, in fact, I came here today to explain this matter to you, and I want you to take this opportunity to recapture Le'an, but I didn't expect that the lord was one step ahead of me, and I also got our army to occupy Cao Cao's Chen Liu."

"Hehe, so you agreed"

"Of course I agree, my lord's order, don't we listen to it?"

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll trouble you to prepare grain and grass, I'll go and prepare soldiers and horses now, and I'll send troops to Le'an at ten o'clock tomorrow evening."

"Hehe, don't worry that there is no problem with the grain and grass, you can go and prepare"

"Okay, then I won't send you off, farewell" After Huang Zhong did not leave now, Shi Yi did not leave, but shouted loudly into the empty living room: "Come on."

With Shi Yi's words, I saw a black-clothed masked man appear behind Shi Yi, and after the black-clothed man came in, he hugged his fist and saluted Shi Yi.
