Chapter 253: The Operation Begins
After the generals received the order, Ma Teng immediately rushed to Fangling; Qin Qiong took Han Sui and immediately rushed to Yu County and Yin County; Xu Tao immediately rushed to Nanzheng; Xue Li led the troops and began to rush towards Shunyang County.
Because Xue Li's journey was the closest, he arrived at his destination first.
When Xue Li saw Shunyang County, he immediately led his army towards Shunyang County.
When the Jingzhou army in Shunyang County saw that Xue Li's army was marching towards Shunyang, they didn't know who Xue Li was, so they immediately closed the city gate and notified the county order to go.
After Yi Cai learned that there were enemy troops outside the city, he immediately took the county lieutenant Li Yan to the east gate of Shunyang County.
When Yi Cai and Li Yan came to the city tower, Yi Cai suddenly trembled and pointed to the soldiers and horses outside the city and asked, "Who are the soldiers and horses outside the city?" Have you ever known? ”
Hearing Yi Cai's question, none of the soldiers answered, because Xue Li did not report his name after coming to Shunyang County.
Yi Cai saw that everyone didn't speak, and he immediately said to Li Yan: "Li Yan, which one do you think the soldiers and horses outside the city are?" ”
"Lord County Commander, the military appearance of the soldiers and horses outside the city is very neat, and the ones who can achieve this effect are either Wang Zhenxi's soldiers and horses, or Cao Sikong's soldiers and horses, and there are no other people."
Yi Cai thought for a while and then said: "Wang Zhenxi was ordered by the lord to go to support Wancheng before, and it seems that the soldiers and horses outside the city are Cao's army. ”
Thinking of Cao Jun's terror, Yi Cai suddenly trembled with fright, because the news of Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou City had already spread.
When Li Yan saw this, he immediately asked: "Lord County Commander, I am willing to ask for my life to go and test it, if this army is really Cao's army, then I will break through the siege and ask for help from the county commander of the neighboring Nanxiang County." ”
Seeing Li Yan's request for his life, Yi Cai thought for a while and immediately agreed, because he planned to take advantage of Li Yan's time to go out of the city to fight, and it would be difficult to escape by boat with his soft family.
After Li Yan got the order, he immediately took a thousand county soldiers out of the city, and Yi Cai also secretly packed up his things and prepared to run away.
Besides, when Xue Li saw that a thousand soldiers and horses came out of Shunyang County, he was very puzzled and guessed.
But soon, Li Yan cleared up Xue Li's doubts.
"Phew! Wu Na thief general, you are the general of the Cao army? ”
When Xue Li heard this, he immediately had an idea to admit it.
Li Yan saw that Xue Li had admitted it, and he immediately rushed to Xue Li, who was the leader, and shouted: "The thief will see the move!" ”
As he said this, Li Yan took advantage of the situation and stabbed a shot at Xue Li.
When Xue Li saw Li Yan kill him without saying a word, he immediately rode forward and brandished Fang Tian's halberd to block Li Yan's attack.
After Li Yan's spear collided with Xue Li's Fang Tian Painting Halberd, Li Yan immediately felt that his hands were trembling, because Xue Li was born with divine power.
Li Yan, who had suffered a secret loss, was not discouraged, and after he shook his spirits, he fought with Xue Li again.
After the two fought for twenty times, Xue Li had already roughly tested Li Yan's strength.
Immediately, Xue Li opened his mouth and said, "Your martial arts are good! ”
When Li Yan saw that Xue Li was praising himself, he suddenly felt disgraced.
The young and vigorous Li Yan immediately struggled to turn over, but as a super one, how could Xue Li be defeated by Li Yan at the end of the one, and after the five combinations, Xue Li knocked Li Yan off his horse and sent someone to tie him up.
After Li Yan was tied up, he immediately scolded Xue Li.
At this time, a thousand county soldiers saw that Li Yan was defeated, and they dared to confront Xue Li's 30,000 elites.
In just an instant, a thousand county soldiers were scattered.
Then, Xue Li easily took Shunyang County.
After entering the city, Xue Li immediately sent people to Zhang Bang to calm the people.
After a while, a scout came to report that the county order of Shunyang County had run to the ferry.
Upon hearing the news, Xue Li was not nervous, because Wang Kai had already told him to release some Jingzhou county orders to go back and report to Liu Biao.
When the affairs of Shunyang County were almost settled, Xue Li immediately sent someone to bring the captive Li Yan to him.
When Li Yan came to the county government and saw Xue Ligao sitting on the throne, he immediately shouted angrily: "Cao Cao's lackey, kill me if you have a kind!" ”
Seeing that Li Yan was still scolding him for being Cao Cao's lackey, Xue Li touched his forehead and replied: "I am the general Xue Li under the west tent of Wang Zhen!" It's not the Cao Cao lackey you keep scolding. ”
Suddenly hearing Xue Li say this, Li Yan didn't believe it at all.
The helpless Xue Li immediately ordered someone to loosen the tie for Li Yan.
Seeing this situation, Li Yan was also stunned.
At this time, Xue Li said: "If you don't believe it, you can go to Shunyang County to check it yourself." ”
After hearing this, Li Yan immediately replied: "You want to let me go?" ”
"Definitely! Now that Shunyang County is in my lord's pocket, I let you out of the county government to let you see clearly whether we are Cao Jun or not. ”
After hearing this, Li Yan walked out of the county office suspiciously.
After Li Yan walked out on the street and observed, he finally believed what Xue Li said.
Then, Li Yan returned to the county government and said to Xue Li: "General, I scolded you by mistake, but why did you lie to me that it was Cao Jun?" ”
"Your name is Li Yan, right?"
"Exactly."
"Maybe you don't know yet, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao betrayed the covenant with my lord and helped Cao thief seize Wancheng, and my lord has now broken with Liu Yuan, so I was ordered to come to seize the city."
"What? There is such a thing! ”
"If you don't believe me, you can inquire."
"Definitely! I despise Liu Zhoumu's actions, then Cao Cao's discerning eyes can see that he is a traitor, but I didn't expect Liu Zhoumu to be so mediocre. ”
"This can't all be blamed on Liu Zhoumu, after all, Cao Cao pretended to be an edict from the Son of Heaven, and Liu Zhoumu had to weigh it even if he didn't obey it."
Hearing this, Li Yan immediately felt that Wang Zhenxi's soldiers and horses were indeed the army of benevolence and righteousness.
When Xue Li saw this, he immediately raised his voice.
"Li Yan, I don't know if you are willing to follow our army?"
Li Yan saw that Xue Li had made a solicitation, and after thinking about it, he immediately agreed.
Immediately, Xue Li directly promoted Li Yan to the rank of military marquis.
Li Yan saw that he had jumped from a county lieutenant to a military marquis, and he immediately thanked Xue Li.
Xue Li stayed in Shunyang County for two days, and he raised troops again to attack Nanxiang County.
The county magistrate of Nanxiang County directly opened the city and surrendered after seeing Xue Lijun.
After that, Xue Libing conquered Danshui, Wudang and Xixian in three ways.
Since then, Xue Li has successfully completed the task assigned to him by Wang Kai.
After Shunyang, Nanxiang, Danshui, Wudang and Xixian were all conquered by Xue Li, Xue Li Chen soldiers were in Shunyang County, because Shunyang County was closer to Liguo and Yuxian County.
Just when Xue Lilianke was in the five counties, Qin Qiong and Han Sui also captured Yu County and Yin County.
Qin Qiong also recovered a civil official named Chen Zhen during the attack on Yuxian.
This Chen Zhen was the minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, but he was still young, and Qin Qiong temporarily appointed him as the main secretary.
After that, Qin Qiong and Han Sui also began to build iron cables in Yu County and Yin County respectively.
A few days later, Ma Teng also rushed to Fangling and took 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Zhuyang County.
When Ma Teng was killed under the city of Zhuyang County, the county commander of Zhuyang County abandoned the city and fled directly because of the lack of soldiers and horses in the city.
Ma Teng also easily took Zhuyang County and began to build a defensive line.
As for Xu Tao, he was still on his way to Nanzheng.
