Chapter 558: Recovering Juye City

Cao Cao led the victorious army and returned to Juancheng, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren got the news early, waited outside the city early, saw Cao Cao coming, stepped forward to greet and asked: "Or the lord god is mighty, and these yellow turban thieves will be pacified as soon as they get out of the horse!"

Cao Cao smiled: "You're patting me again, but then again, we've had a lot of dealings with the Yellow Turban thieves, whether it's the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago, or the Qingzhou soldiers recruited this year, and this time it's He Yi and Huang Shao and them, it's really my ability is limited, otherwise Zhang Yan, Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai, these black mountain thieves and white wave thieves, I will have to clean them up sooner or later!"

Xun Yu came over and said: "The reason why the battle can end so quickly this time is because most of the soldiers in the army are Qingzhou soldiers who were once Yellow Turbans, and they communicated with the enemy on the eve of the battle, so most of them have come to surrender before the war starts, and the Yellow Turban captives have also wavered after seeing the strength and treatment of the Qingzhou soldiers, so the recruitment and surrender work after the war is also very smooth!"

Cao Cao got off the horse, patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder and said, "I have another task for you, train these soldiers into a tiger and wolf division as soon as possible for me!"

"This is natural!" Xiahoudun patted his chest and said, but after seeing Cao Cao's strange smile, he felt a little wrong, "Wait, Meng De, what do you mean by that? You don't want me to stay in the rear, do you?"

Cao Cao and Xun Yu glanced at each other: "This time Yuan Rang has become smarter!"

Xiahoudun said unhappily: "Wen Ruo I know that Juancheng's status is very important, but it is okay to have Zixiao, right? Don't you think it is a waste for me to let such a general guard the city every day?"

Xun Yu said with a smile: "What Cao Gong said is sincere, the combat ability of the Qingzhou soldiers is really strong, but the conduct is not very good, and the nature of the previous thieves will not be changed.

"Huh!" Xiahoudun looked at Cao Cao with some embarrassment, and there was some shame in his eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Cao Cao also became serious: "Military discipline and the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be ignored, your soldiers are known to be brave and fearless of death, but the discipline of the army is too bad, it was just an individual phenomenon before, this time it was dozens of people who collectively robbed the people's property, I have beheaded them all, Yuan Rang, don't forget the shame of being kidnapped by your own subordinates last year!"

Xiahou was embarrassed, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "I know that I am wrong, if such a thing happens again, you don't need Meng De to say, I will apologize with death first!"

"If I weren't your head!" Cao Cao said sternly, "but an army that has always been impeccable in terms of military discipline and combat effectiveness! Although Zixiao's soldiers are not as brave as yours, no soldier has violated military discipline since the beginning of the army, and Zixiao was also a person who had to fly eagles and lackeys when he was young, and did not check his own behavior, but now, he can lead by example, Qiu has not committed any crimes, and can you?" This is the real purpose of my efforts to let you defend Juancheng together, and if the loyalty and courage of the two of you can complement each other, who else can defeat our army?"

Xiahoudun said loudly: "Meng De is hardworking, I should keep it in my heart, and repay Meng De's trust and kindness with tangible results!"

Xu Chu also led his clan to come at this time: "I heard the words of the lord, and sure enough, I Xu Chu didn't choose the wrong person!"

Cao Ren looked at Xu Chu, who was five big and three thick, and said, "Lord, who is this?"

"Oh, I haven't told you yet, this is the biggest gain of my southern expedition, Xu Chu!" Cao Cao took Xu Chu's hand and introduced it to the generals.

Xu Chu has seen the people one by one: "Under Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang, I have seen the generals!"

Xun Yu said: "General Xu Chu and Dian Wei fought for a day and a night without winning or losing, and now it has become a good story in the army!"

"Really?" Xiahoudun looked at Xu Chu, only to see that he was quite honest, but he subconsciously gave people an inviolable majesty, and said to Cao Cao in his heart, "I understand, with General Xu Chu as the vanguard, even if Lu Bu comes to Mengde in person, you have something to fear, right?"

"Well, whoever knows me, it is none other than Yuan to let you!" Cao Cao laughed.

Cao Ren took the opportunity to say: "The fine work we planted in Juye recently reported that the army of Lu Bu's guards Xue Lan and Li Feng was short of food and grass, and seeing that we had no intention of attacking, they connived at most of their soldiers to go out of the city and plunder, and now the garrison of Dongjun is insufficient, if we can send a large army to raid, we will be able to go down with a drum!"

"Well, without further ado, our army should not enter the city, the army will march with me into Juye City, and we must take Dongjun before the enemy notices!"

Sanyo-gun, Juye Castle.

Xue Lan, Li Feng was still asleep, he heard the sudden sound of people and horses neighing in the city, and when they hurriedly put on their clothes and armor and led the troops to the city to see, they saw that the city was full of dense Cao army, and immediately felt that the emperor was in desperation, and in desperation, he could only take the remaining 2,000 men and horses in the city out of the city to fight.

Cao Cao smiled: "With such a weak general, you dare to go out of the city to fight?"

Dian Wei was just about to go out of the horse, Xu Chu had already slapped the horse and danced the knife out of the battle: "Since the vote for the lord, Xi has been the captain of the school, and today I would like to take the head of these two people, thinking that it is a gift to see the lord!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Okay, I'm here, watch Xu Chu kill the enemy!"

Dian Wei smiled: "Okay, I'll let you go once!"

Before Xu Chu came out of the horse formation, he shouted at Li Feng and Xue Lan: "The enemy will come and die quickly!"

Li Feng was furious, took his painting halberd from the soldier's hand and killed Xu Chu: "I am not afraid of Cao Cao coming in person, what are you calling here as a nameless general, shut up for uncle!"

"You actually call yourself an uncle in front of me! At least you have to have the ability to match this uncle! Am I an unknown general, you asked me about the knife in my hand first!" Xu Chu clamped the horse's belly between his legs, raised his knife, and his momentum changed, which was very different from his previous honest appearance, and even Dian Wei behind him couldn't help but be stunned.

"Drink!" Li Feng's halberd had already hit Xu Chu's heart, "Then you can go to the underworld and ask those ghosts!"

"Hmph, look at the knife!" Xu Chu completely ignored Li Feng's painting halberd, but directly shouted, raised the big knife and slashed at Li Feng.

Li Feng sneered: "You big fool, you are looking for your own death, can your knife still be longer than my halberd?"

"It's not as long as your halberd!" Xu Chu also sneered, and the knife fell as he spoke, and at the moment when Li Feng's halberd was about to touch his armor, the big knife slashed on the handle of the halberd, and then only heard a crisp sound of metal breaking, and the halberd was cut in half by Xu Chu.

"What?" Li Feng couldn't help but be shocked.

This is not all, Xu Chu slapped the broken halberd on the top with a knife, and the broken halberd directly flipped over and then stabbed into Li Feng's chest with great speed just now.

"Poof!" Li Feng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at his weapon on his chest in surprise, and muttered, "How is it possible?"

"Do you think you're holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd?" Xu Chu looked coldly at Li Fengdao, who had fallen off the war horse, "Even if this is the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, you are not Lu Bu!"

"Ah, I actually killed Li Feng in two rounds!" Xue Lan saw that Li Feng was killed by Xu Chu in an instant, and immediately did not dare to fight, and immediately turned his horse and fled towards the city, just arrived at the drawbridge, and suddenly flashed out a group of men and horses, it was Li Quan's ambush in advance, Li Cheng put on his armor, pointed at Xue Lan and scolded: "Xue Lan, do you recognize me!"

Xue Lan didn't know Li Quan, and his subordinates were about to attack: "Where did you come from, wild boy, hurry up and get out of the way!"

Li Cheng was furious and said: "Father Li Qian was killed to death by you and Li Feng with tricks, today I, Li Quan, have come to avenge my father!"

"Oh, it turned out to be Li Gan's rabbit cub, he died in my hands, what can you do with a yellow-mouthed son?" Xue Lan woke up at this time, Li Gan is also a heroic figure, and he can be regarded as a hero who gathered thousands of diners in the Cheng clan, and led his subordinates to follow Cao Cao a few months ago, defeated the Yellow Turban thief Hushou in Shouzhang, and followed Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu and conquer Xuzhou. Cao Cao sent him back to Chengshi to appease the people of the counties. It's hateful that this Li Gan didn't obey his own surrender, and he also killed him for the benefit of General Lu Bu, but now he saw Li Quan, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, calling for battle in front of him, so he naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

But Xue Lan's soldiers did not give face to their main general, they were already frightened by Cao Cao's army, and they were frightened by Xu Chu's bravery, and now they were caught by Li Quan's ambush soldiers, and their morale was completely reduced to the lowest, and most of them had fled before the battle.

"Damn!" Xue Lan saw that there were only a few hundred of his subordinates left, and they were still decreasing, and his heart sank, "There are still thousands of us in Changyi City, everyone retreat there with me, and then ask General Lu for help!"

At that moment, Xue Lan took the rest of the people and horses to the giant field.

"Want to run, it's not that easy!" Li Quanjing saw that Xue Lan was going to escape, how could he let it go, so he immediately opened his bow and shot several arrows at Xue Lan.

It's a pity that the wind is chilling at this time, and several arrows have been blown away from the direction by the strong wind, only hitting Xue Lan's mount and shoulder, Li Cheng wanted to chase and kill, but was stopped by Cao Cao, who came: "No need to pursue, I expected that this Xue Lan would flee to Changyi after the defeat, and I have ordered Zi Ke to lead the troops to ambush on the road in advance, let's go into the city to settle the people, I still have a task for you?"

Li Quan hated and said: "It's a pity that I can't kill this wicked person with my own hands!"

"Don't worry, kid!" Cao Cao patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Today, you and Zhong Kang have both won the first merit, both of them are excellent, worthy of being a fierce general under my Cao Mengde, I also regret your father's death, and his subordinates will be under your command in the future!"

"Thank you, lord!" Li Chuan knelt down in the tunnel.

"That's right!" Cao Cao had already ridden into the city gate, turned his head to look at Li Dian and said, "I instructed Zi Ke to capture Xue Lan alive, and then escort him to you for disposal!"

"Lord!" Li Quan burst into tears when he heard Cao Cao's words, "The lord's kindness will not be repaid in case of any event!"
