But today's battle Zhang Xiujun still has some gains, for example, Zhang Xiusheng captured two generals of Cao Jun - Xu Chu and Yu Ban.

Although in the end, Xu Chu was freed because of the carelessness of the soldiers, but in the end, Yu Ban was still in Zhang Xiu's hands, which greatly boosted the morale of Zhang Xiujun's soldiers.

Of course, the morale was also boosted because Zhang Xiu slightly concealed some of his own casualties from ordinary soldiers, and falsely reported the casualties of Cao's army. To be honest, once the ordinary soldiers were allowed to fight a one-to-one battle with the Cao army until their own army dispatched all the elites, it was definitely a blow to the army's self-confidence.

On the whole, this battle still achieved Zhang Xiu's expected effect: it boosted morale, and at the same time, it also made Yuan Lian, Yan Xiang and other main battle factions recognize the gap between the two armies at the moment, and no longer say words such as "decisive battle in the field, keep the enemy out of the country".

The unexpected gain is that Zhang Xiu also got three historical generals: Mei Cheng, Cheng Lian, and Wei Yue.

Mei Chengcheng is the "great general" who led 500 ordinary cavalry to block when the tiger and leopard rode into formation, but was picked aside by Cao Chun with a shot. However, he is a fortune teller, and the main purpose of Cao Chun's shot is to pick him to the side, not to block the tiger and leopard riding formation. So he picked up a life.

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue are the two powerful generals who led the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, and their martial arts skills are much higher than Mei Cheng's, after all, they are both old qualifications who have followed Lu Bu's corpse mountain in the sea of blood, and have participated in the tragic battle of breaking the Black Mountain Army. But Xu Chu, who was still under Cao Chun, was not lightly injured.

After the war, Zhang Xiujun was divided into three divisions. One is 60,000 Yongliang descendant troops, led by Zhang Xiu personally, Gao Shun as the superintendent, and led Zhang Xianlei, Cao Xing, Li Feng, and four generals to guard Qiyang City.

Zhang Xianlei said needless to say, they are all old men and generals of the Yongliang Army. And Gao Shun and Cao Xing Li Feng are the three generals that Zhang Xiu has admired the most recently.

Gao Shun is loyal and reliable, good at leading troops to fight tough battles, and is one of the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms that Zhang Xiu admired most in later generations. Zhang Xiu also left him to make up for his shortcomings in commanding the war.

Cao Xing is good at riding and shooting, but what Zhang Xiu values is: This product is the same despicable as Zhang Xiu's routine. He's a man who can be made!

And Li Feng, Zhang Xiu was able to keep him completely because he was a die-hard member, and he gave up his life to follow him when he recognized the lord.

I remember that it seemed that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were at war, and just because Lu Bu scolded Yuan Shu, this thing rushed up to fight Lu Bu alone. He didn't die in the end, he was just stabbed in the hand! This is also enough for Zhang Xiu to be interested, after all, there are not many third-rate generals who can survive under the flying general Lu Bu, and Wu Anguo also broke an arm back then, and it was only after several princes went up together to save it. But this Li Feng was actually not saved, and he could escape without losing any body objects, which can be regarded as a bit of ability.

The other two divisions each divided 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and the governor of Zhang Liao camped in Xi'an, Qiyang City, and the generals under his command included Liu Pi, Gongdu, Song Xian, and Wei Xu. The elite has the remnants of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by Cheng Lian Wei Yue.

Although Zhang Liao is a new general, there are many outstanding points in this battle. For example, he blocked the tiger and leopard cavalry, stopped Xu Chu, and the war was always in a critical place. His subordinates this time were soldiers and horses under the command of Liu Pigong Du, and these two people have always respected loyal people. Zhang Xiu brought these two people and praised Zhang Wenyuan's conduct, and these two commanders were also willing to serve Zhang Liao as the main general.

The other Song Xian Wei continued to become the four generals of Lian Wei and Yue, all of whom were former generals of Lu Bu, and they had a friendship with Zhang Liao for a long time.

And Governor Ji Ling's other original Yuan Shu surrendered his army and set up camp in the east of Qiyang City. The elite under his command has Qiang Huzhong. The subordinate general Lei Bo Chen Lan, these two generals were also Ji Ling's subordinates, and there would be no problem.

On the second day, Cao Jun sent a war letter to continue the battle, and this time asked the whole army to face off. But Zhang Xiu refused, and strictly ordered all soldiers not to fight without authorization, but only to defend the defense area.

Seeing that Zhang Liao Jiling's two battalions and Qiyang City were fighting each other, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack rashly, and continued to fight, but Zhang Xiu still refused.

A few days later, Cao Jun changed from calling the formation to scolding the formation, but Zhang Xiu still ignored it.

A few days later, Cao Jun released 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people to take off their armor and take off their armor under Qiyang City, and performed a striptease in public to provoke Zhang Xiujun. Zhang Xiu only let Qianghu bow ride out of the city, shoot and expel him, and did not chase deeply.

A few days later, Cao's army stopped fighting. Learning from Zhang Xiu, he also divided the army into three battalions, each battalion corresponding to one battalion of Zhang Xiu's army.

Zhang Xiu's three battalions of soldiers and horses were evenly distributed, and the difference in the number of soldiers and horses was only 5,000. Ji Ling and Zhang Liao's out-of-town barracks were about the same size. However, the three barracks of the Cao army are of different sizes, and the largest barracks is the central barracks, and the number of tents is at least 100,000. The smallest camp in the eastern part of the city only had tents for 40,000 or 50,000 people.

Cao Cao put on such a posture, but it made Zhang Xiukidney deeply puzzled and worried. had no choice but to gather a group of subordinates to discuss Cao Jun's intentions.

At this time, only Jia Xu and Chen Gong could count on it. But Jia Xu has always looked like he is going to die or live, and he refuses to open Chrysostom unless necessary, and only Chen Gong speaks.

This time, the general put on a posture of swinging his horns, and the camps of the two generals Zhang Liao and Ji Ling were located in the front of the east and west of the city, like a bull with its horns against Cao Jun. If Cao Thief wants to take Qiyang, he must first pull out the camp of the two generals Zhang Liao and Ji Ling. Otherwise, once the city is attacked, the army is very vulnerable to being flanked by Zhang Ji's two armies. ”

"There are two options for pulling out the east and west barracks. One is to pull out the two obstructive horns at the same time, and at the same time send troops to attack the city and contain our main force in the city from going to the rescue. In this case, the three battalions of our men and horses will fight separately and will not be able to respond. The Cao thief first took the east and west corners, and finally won as long as he gathered his forces to attack the city. ”

"It's a solid enough approach that takes into account all aspects. According to the current strength and quality of Cao's army, it can meet the needs of this plan. However, the flaw of this plan is also obvious, that is, because every place has to use troops, which requires a huge number of troops, and the final casualties are also quite large. ”

"However, Cao Thief has always been treacherous and does not like the way of righteous soldiers. Ten times to break the enemy, eight times are from the opponent's weak and negligent links. So I'm sure he's not going to use this strategy. ”

"Now, Cao Jun is distributing his forces in this way, but it shows that he has adopted another strategy. That is, the sound of the east and the west, one by one! ”

"Similar to the first strategy, Cao Thief still has to divide a considerable part of his forces to attack the city strongly, in order to contain the general's main force. But the difference is that the strength of the East and West Battalions against Zhang Liao and General Ji Ling is one virtual and one real. One only bluffs and restrains our battalion of men. The other is the killer feature, with an absolute advantage, break through our battalion first, cut off our corner, and gain an absolute advantage in the overall situation! ”

"Then he can win the victorious army and break through our other battalion. In the end, the 200,000 army surrounded Qiyang, and he was sure to win. ”

After listening to the analysis of such a resourceful military advisor as Chen Gong, Yuan Lian and Yan Xiang, as well as Ruyin Taishou He Kui, couldn't help but nod their heads in praise of Chen Gong's high opinion, and even Jia Xu, who had closed his eyes and traveled for nine days, nodded slightly.

"Then Cao Cao now has a tent for 100,000 people in Xiying, and there are only 40,000 or 50,000 tents in the east of the city, isn't he going to attack General Ji Ling's camp first?" Yuan Jian couldn't help but ask.

"Fei Ye, Fei Ye" Chen Gong chuckled lightly and shook his head: "Fei Ye, how could Cao Thief and treacherous people make the plan to attack the west so obviously, although there are only forty or fifty thousand tents in the West Camp, there may be 100,000 people." Although there are tents for 100,000 people in Dongying, there may be only 40,000 or 50,000 people. ”

"Why did Mr. Gongtai say this?" But the Lord Bo Yanxiang was puzzled.

"Everyone, please take a closer look, although there are many tents in Cao Jun's East Camp, they are all slightly smaller than those in the West Camp, why is this?"

This means that Cao Jun can actually unify a larger tent in Xiying and stuff one or two hundred thousand more people! In addition, if the soldiers were allowed to sleep instead of sleeping, but instead sitting, wouldn't they be able to double the space for garrisoning soldiers and horses? ”

Everyone took a closer look at Cao Jun's barracks again, and even Zhang Xiu didn't find this problem. After a long period of comparison, everyone found this subtle difference, the tent in the west camp is a little larger than the east camp.

"Mr. Gongtai is very attentive, I can't wait!" Zhang Xiu made a gesture towards Chen Gong, and everyone next to him also followed Zhang Xiu and bowed to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong hurriedly glanced back at Zhang Xiu and said, "This is just speculation, seeing is believing, and this needs to be verified on the spot to be confirmed." ”

"Our army scouts can reach two miles outside Cao's camp at most, and no matter how close they are, they can't do it, and this matter of exploring the reality of the troops needs to enter the barracks to know, Mr. Gongtai, this ......"

Without waiting for Chen Gong to speak again, the scout leader Pei Yuanshao spoke first.

Chen Gong just smiled slightly: "This reconnaissance force is real, you don't have to go to the barracks to check it in person!" ”

Pei Yuanshao looked puzzled: "What you said is believing, how can you say that seeing is believing if you don't enter the barracks and take a look?" ”

Seeing that Pei Yuanshao was too stupid, Chen Gong sighed slightly, and had to explain in detail his method of seeing is believing......

On the evening of the second day, Captain Pei Yuanshao, the commander of Zhang Xiujun's scouts, personally led several of his subordinates to make up and investigate.

A group of several people went out of the city from the south gate and went around in a big circle to ten miles behind Cao Jun's west camp. Then he squatted in the field and endured freezing and starvation for several hours, until the Cao army's grain transport team passed by, and waited for the convoy to pass far before sneaking out. The two elite veteran scout scouts climbed the dirt road that the convoy had run over for several hundred meters, and finally nodded to Pei Yuanshao, and the group returned the same way.

The next night, Pei Yuanshao led the original team to the grain road behind Dongying, and it was another reconnaissance.

In the next few days, Pei Yuanshao personally led the team to inspect the grain roads behind the two military camps in the east and west of the Cao Army several times.
