At night, the potters ordered 5,000 cavalry elite soldiers, marched north along Surabaya, went to Xiaopei through Pengchengguo, met with Lian Po's department, and went straight to Changyi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiapi North Gate.

Battle flags fluttered, and hundreds of Tao soldiers marched out of the city in an orderly manner.

The potters stood at the head of the city, watching the army go out of the city, and their hearts gradually swelled with surging meaning.

His wife, Mulan, wore armor and carried a gun, guarding her side as usual.

"Husband." The soft voices of two women came from behind him.

As soon as the potter turned around, he saw Gan Mei and Mi Zhen walking up to the city hand in hand, standing behind him, looking at him with reluctant eyes.

Since the two of them experienced the previous time together, it seems that the estrangement between them has been broken, and now the relationship is as close as sisters.

"Mei'er, Zhen'er, why didn't you rest in the room this big night, why did you come out?" The potter took a few steps forward and took her hands.

Mi Zhen sighed: "Husband, you are suddenly going to go on an expedition, how can we not come and send it." ”

Gan Mei also nodded, holding the potter's hand tighter, as if reluctant to let him go.

"The soldier is fast, and the husband is going to kill Cao Cao by surprise this time." The potter smiled faintly.

Mi Zhenxiu frowned secretly, and said solemnly: "Husband, then Cao Cao's fierce generals are like clouds, strategists are like rain, and he also coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, holding the banner of righteousness, and his strength is far better than that of Yuan Shu and others, you must be careful in this battle." ”

"Yes, yes, husband has to be very careful." Gan Mei is also busy attaching.

Looking at the two ladies in front of him who cared for him and were reluctant, a warm current surged in the potter's heart, and he held her hands tighter, "Don't worry, what winds and waves have come over for your husband, this time is no exception, you just stay at home with peace of mind, waiting for me to send someone to pick you up to the Central Plains." ”

The potter's bold words relieved the two women a lot.

Gan Mei was always relieved, and sighed: "My husband is wise and brave, but I don't worry about fighting, I just worry about my husband's diet and daily life." ”

When the potter was still about to comfort them, Hua Mulan was full of vinegar: "You don't have to worry about this, our husband will not treat him badly, but he has brought other confidants." ”

As she spoke, Mulan glanced towards the city.

Gan Mi and the others followed her eyes and recognized Diao Chan and Lu Lingji's mother and daughter, who were also in the army, and they should have to go out with the potters.

"Husband, you don't even bring us, why do you want to take their mother and daughter on the expedition?" Mi Zhen's flower face suddenly appeared displeased.

"Yes, yes, husband, what do you mean by that?" Gan Mei also pouted, and the baby's face showed dissatisfaction.

The potter smiled bitterly and glanced at Mulan, secretly crying in his heart, you must know that Diao Chan has the attribute of destiny, and Lu Lingji can increase his force value, and the potter and her are not fancy intestines, it is all for emergencies.

It's just that these secrets can't be told to them clearly.

"Ahem, let's not talk about it yet, the auspicious time has arrived, and I have to fight for my husband." The potter made an excuse and hurriedly strode down the city.

After a short time, the gates were wide open and the drawbridge was lowered.

Wearing silver armor and carrying a war knife, the potter, under the protection of Hua Mulan and the others, stepped out of the city gate, followed by a tide of soldiers behind him.

The two sisters, Mi Zhen and Ganmei, stood hand in hand at the head of the city, looking at the distant figure of the potter, although there was a little resentment in their expressions, more but they were deeply reluctant.

The potter, however, had no intention of thinking about it, and was focused on the war.

After leaving the city gate, Diao Chan also came to meet him.

When the potter saw that there were people far away, he whispered to Diao Chan and asked, "Answer me, are you Diao Chan or Lu Pheasant now?" ”

Her lips squirmed slightly, and a hint of weirdness flashed in her watery eyes, and she chuckled, "Whoever Tao Zhoumu wants me to be, I am who I am." ”

Her words obviously had another deep meaning, and she was following the arrangement of the potter, so that she could conceal her true identity.

And that mysterious smile, which is absolutely impossible for Diao Chan to laugh at.

With just a word and a smile, the potter confirmed that the peerless beauty in front of him was no longer Diao Chan, but Lu Pheasant.

The potter laughed, "Very good, worthy of Lu Pheasant, smart, understand my mind, smart woman I like the most, from now on, you are still Diao Chan in front of people, only in front of me, is Lu Pheasant, understand?" ”

"Pheasant understands, although the state pastor can rest assured." Lu Pheasant smiled and agreed happily, but in that smile, there was always a bit of the city government hidden.

The potter didn't say much to her, but whipped his horse and hurried away.

Lu Pheasant looked at the young figure in the distance, and there was a trace of depth in his watery eyes.

That night, the pottery merchant led an army of 5,000 cavalry, with Fan Xu and Li Guang as the generals, and went north from Xiapi, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were commanded by Yingbu Gaoshun and other commanders, and then followed.

5,000 foot cavalry light army, along the north of Surabaya, through Pengcheng, the starry night rushed to Xiaopei and Lian Po 3,000 soldiers and horses to meet, 8,000 troops with lightning speed, into the territory of Yanzhou, straight to Shanyang County Changyi to go.

Shanyang County borders Xuzhou, which is the only place to enter the Central Plains, and the potters must first break the city if they want to break the Central Plains.

And if you want to get Shanyang, you must break the Changyi where it governs, and if you want to break Changyi, you must first break the gateway to its southeast, Dongjin City.

Four days later, the army of potters unexpectedly slaughtered the city of Leyi, and quickly completed the siege of the city.

……

According to the battalion, the pottery merchant personally led a team of soldiers and horses, approaching the city to look at the enemy situation from afar.

I saw that the first-line flag at the head of the city was still not falling, and I could still vaguely see the nervous enemy army, which was waiting for the battle.

"The enemy army is cleared, who is the leader of the troops in the city?" The potter wondered.

Lian Po coughed dryly and said: "According to my careful reconnaissance, the guard general in the city is Chen Qun, the county commander, and there are only 700 township soldiers. ”

Chen Qun!

It's a pretty familiar name.

This Chen Qun is a quite remarkable figure, in history, it was this person who designed the Jiupin Zhongzheng system for Cao Pi, and won the support of the family for him, and finally succeeded in becoming the emperor.

However, Chen Qun gained power, it was in the middle and late Three Kingdoms, and now his talent has not been revealed, but he is just a county order under Cao Cao.

"The small wall of Dongyi City has passed, and Chen Qun is only seven hundred townships, even if he desperately defends it, as long as the lord gives an order, he will be able to capture this city in less than half an hour." Lian Po has a confident momentum.

The potter also nodded slightly, Chen Qun's ability lies in governing the government, and he does not have any outstanding talent in the military, at the moment he has 7,000 soldiers and horses, and it is still easy to capture a Dongqian city.

It is easy to capture Dongyi, but the difficult thing is how to quickly break through the Changyi City defended by Cao Ren.

Cao Cao gave Cao Ren 5,000 soldiers and horses and ordered him to garrison Changyi City to guard against the pottery merchants, and Cao Ren's ability to command troops was far better than Chen Qun.

With the 7,000 troops in front of him, if Cao Ren chooses to hold on, he will not be able to attack it no matter what.

Once the war dragged on and Cao Cao's army arrived, his preemptive strike would lose any meaning.

"It's not Chen Qun who is difficult, it's Cao Ren......" The potter muttered.

At this time, Chen Ping, who was beside him, took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, as long as we let Dongqian City besiege and not attack, aren't we afraid that we won't be able to take Changyi." ”

Chen Ping has something to say.

"Besiege but not attack......" The potter's thoughts flew, and suddenly, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

He had already understood the meaning of Chen Ping's words.

……

Thirty miles west of Dongyi City, Changyi City.

It was already night, and Cao Ren, who was also the Taishou of Shanyang, was still in his own mansion, giving instructions on official documents.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and a person entered the lobby with the wind, interrupting Cao Ren's thoughts.

The person who came was none other than his subordinate Niu Jin.

Niu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "General Zixiao, the big thing is not good, that kid from the pottery merchant actually made a preemptive strike, and the army suddenly entered my territory, and today the city of Dongyi was besieged. ”

"What?" Cao Ren raised his head suddenly, his face shocked.

Niu Jin hurriedly presented the latest information with both hands.

Cao Ren snatched it and glanced at it a few times, and a trace of anger gradually ignited on Yinglang's face.

Syllable!

Niu Jin hurriedly said: "General Zixiao is angry, the pottery thief has sent troops, not to be underestimated, we should ask Cao Gong for help as soon as possible." ”

Cao Ren's anger calmed down a little, and he immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Xudu as an expedited horse.

As soon as the messenger left, Cao Ren remembered something again and asked, "How many soldiers and horses did the pottery thief bring this time?" ”

"According to reports, there were about five or six thousand people." Niu Jin replied.

Cao Ren pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered that the five thousand elite soldiers of Changyi should be mobilized and immediately sent out to relieve the siege of Dongyi.

"General Zixiao, the pottery thief has newly destroyed Yuan Shu, the morale is flourishing, and this thief is scheming, we might as well stick to Changyi, and wait for Cao Gong's army to arrive." Niu Jin persuaded.

Cao Ren sneered: "If the traitor comes with a large army, I may still be afraid of him for three points, but now he only comes with a few thousand soldiers and horses, obviously afraid of startling the snake, and wants to take advantage of the fact that our army does not know the truth and take the city of Dongyi. ”

"The general is wise, and the last general will go to order troops." Niu Jin immediately retreated.

Cao Ren picked up his sword, strode out, looked in the direction of the east, and said coldly: "Pottery thief, you don't want to take away a city and a place from my Cao Ren's hands." ”

……

It was the day, at dusk, ten miles west of the city of Dongjin.

On the high slope, the potter stood on horseback, looking to the west, and behind him were seven hundred iron cavalry soldiers.

In the eagle's eyes, I saw that on the west avenue, dust and smoke were billowing, figures were surging, and battle flags were rolling like waves. Covering the sky and the sun.

A big banner with the word "Cao" is flying proudly, and the momentum of the surging enemy is extremely high.

"Lord, it seems that Cao Ren rushed to relieve the siege of Dongyi with 5,000 elite soldiers in Changyi, I heard that this Cao Ren is very good at using soldiers, and all the troops under his command are Cao Cao's most fierce Qingzhou soldiers, and we may not be able to stop them with 700 iron cavalry alone." The pale face of the veteran Lian Po flashed with worry.

The potters left the main army in the siege of Dongzhen City, and only led 700 iron cavalry to block Cao Ren's army.

At this time, the enemy army was approaching, and Lian Po's worry naturally increased.

The potter smiled disdainfully, and said coldly: "Isn't it the Qingzhou soldiers, old general, we are going to use seven hundred iron cavalry today to break Cao Ren's five thousand fierce soldiers!" ”

The potter's extreme self-confidence shocked Lian Po's figure slightly, and there was doubt in his eyes, as if he was full of doubts about the potter's confidence.

The potter, however, stood on his horse with a knife and looked at it with a leisurely face, smiling at the frenzy of the enemy army in the distance, approaching like the wind.
