After dawn, Cao Cao led tens of thousands of Cao troops and the remnants of the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army who were willing to follow Cao Cao to the outside of Lingxian County.

Cao Cao shaved his beard, changed to an ordinary war horse, and disguised himself as Xiao Man.

The gates were closed, and the battle flags of the Ninth Army were everywhere outside the city, but not a single person was to be seen.

"Xun Yu, what about Zhang Guang's people? I only saw the flag, but I didn't see anyone, could it be that I couldn't beat Zhang Xiao and escaped? ”

"Lord, I don't know, looking at the mess, I guess I ran away."

"It's called Xiaoman! Xiahou Yuan, go and call the battle, let Zhang Xiao come out to fight, it's really a hell, and there is no one on the city wall. ”

Xiahou Yuan rode forward alone and came to the city wall.

"Hey, listen to the people on the wall, I'm a subordinate of General Cao, Xiahou Yuan, let your Zhang Xiao come out to fight."

Xiahou Yuan called several times, but no one came out to reply.

"There is not a single ghost shadow on the city wall, what is it called? Just go straight in. Xiahou Yuan babbled.

"Who? It's early in the morning, it's noisy! ”

On the city wall, a human head finally appeared, it was Gan Ning, his eyes were hazy.

"Who?"

"Your grandfather Xiahou Yuan!"

"It turned out to be the dog Xiahou Yuan, wait, I'll go and inform my lord."

Gan Ning ran down the city, and Xiahou Yuan came back with a face.

"Lord, did you hear that? That kid scolded me! ”

"Haha, don't you want to be someone's grandfather? Wait, Zhang Guang should come out soon. ”

Cao Cao was right, soon, Zhang Guang took Pang Tong, Dian Wei and Gan Ning, and led the people of the guard company out of the city to greet them.

"Xiaoman, Brother Xun Yu, where is your father-in-law Cao Cao? Didn't come again? ”

Hearing Zhang Guang call Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan and other generals bared their teeth on the side, but there was no way.

"Brother Zhang Guang, my lord went back to Dongping overnight because of something, but the lord said that this time to defeat the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, you Zhang Guang has the greatest credit, no matter what conditions you propose, the lord will agree."

Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you are using Xiaoman's mouth to give me Zhang Guang an award as the lord.

It doesn't matter, for me Zhang Guang, as long as it is good.

It's just a name, and it's not worth a few dollars.

"Xiaoman, Brother Xun Yu, generals, enter the city."

Zhang Guang rode a horse and went hand in hand with Xiaoman.

"Xiaoman, why did you do it so long last night? After I led the army to attack Lingxian, I waited for you to have a supper, and I waited for you for a long time, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I slept for a while. ”

"But it doesn't matter, it's still hot for supper, and we're eating and drinking when we enter the city."

"Brother Zhang Guang, why didn't I see the corpses killed in battle outside the city and on the city walls?" Xun Yu asked behind him.

"I have long been dragged away by me and burned down, anyway, they are all remnants of the Yellow Turban Army."

"What?"

All the generals of the Cao army present were not only a little admired, but regarded Zhang Guang as a god of death.

Attacking the city by himself, not only did he attack the city, but not a single person died, but all the enemy soldiers died, is this still a human being?

More than 100,000 Cao troops did not enter the city.

The men of the Ninth Army, after pacifying the people of Lingxian County, also left the city and continued to camp in the valley three miles away.

"Brother Zhang Guang, you captured this Ling County, and you are going to be the king of Jinan here in the future?"

Xiaoman ate and drank and asked what he was most worried about.

Now if Zhang Guang wants to stay in Lingxian County and be the king of Jinan, he Cao Cao really has no choice!

Although Cao's army was nearly 200,000, the 30,000 people he brought from Dongping were the ones he really could fight.

Zhang Guang's Ninth Army, I don't know how many there are, but even those who were in the city just now, there must be nearly 10,000 people.

When I was in Dongping, I heard rumors that the Ninth Army had more than 100,000 troops, even if it was fake, there would always be 70,000 or 80,000, right?

Moreover, Zhang Guang's soldiers, who put down their elite with a rush to kill, really fought, Cao Cao was not at all sure.

"Xiaoman, I said last night that the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army is the first big gift from the eldest brother to Cao Cao, and this Jinan Kingdom is the second big gift."

Dian Wei was nibbling on the big roast chicken on the side, and his words were vague.

"Brother Zhang Guang, what General Dian said is true?"

"Of course it's true, I came out this time, I was originally here to help Cao Cao, and I won't take any of the things in Lingxian County."

"What does Brother Zhang Guang want?" Xiao Man was a little puzzled.

Cao Cao's temperament, Zhang Guang understands very well, if he asks too much, he will be unhappy, and if he doesn't have any requirements, he will definitely be suspicious.

"Xiaoman, in this way, you talk to Cao Cao, what about me, I just want Chen Liucheng to be a garrison, and from now on, under the protection of your Cao army, guard Chen Liucheng and live a comfortable life."

"Chen stays on guard? In this way, I said to the lord, how about being Chen Liutaishou for you? ”

"That's not good, the Taishou of Chen Liujun is still General Zhang Miao, I only do the garrison of Chen Liucheng, of course, you have to pay for the food and equipment."

Cao Cao thought, you Zhang Guang can, who doesn't know that you now have an army of 100,000 under your subordinates.

This is not the original salary of nearly 1,000 people, plus equipment, how much money do I have to spend on you Zhang Guang?

"Xiaoman, the Ninth Army, the real strength of the Ninth Army is 20,000 now, not one more!"

Pang Tong saw that Xiao Man, Xun Yu and the others were hesitating, and knew that they must be thinking about how many people there were in the Ninth Army.

Zhang Guang's suspicious tactics are estimated to have not only deceived the enemy army, but even Cao Jun.

In fact, with 20,000 people, Pang Tong has already falsely reported a lot.

"Pang Tong, what are you talking nonsense? With just 20,000 of you, scared Zhang Xiao to rush back from Dongping to aid Jinan? With just 20,000 of you, in just half of the night, you captured the county town of Lingxian with 100,000 troops? ”

Xiahou Yuan killed the number of people who didn't believe what Pang Tong said, 20,000 people? In such a short period of time, the entire Qingzhou has been turned upside down?

"Didn't you Xiahou Yuan be deceived by us?"

Gan Ning said with a smile, Gan Ning and Xiahou Yuan seem to have been unable to pee in a pot since they tried archery in Chen Liucheng.

"20,000 people, that's definitely no problem."

"Before I came, the lord confessed, no matter what happened, he agreed, so I agreed to this matter on behalf of the lord."

Xiaoman's identity, there is definitely no way to directly agree.

However, he was anxious, the food and salary of 20,000 people was exchanged for the gateway to Qingzhou, and this deal was very cost-effective.

Xun Yu could naturally think of this, and nodded his head in agreement.

"Zhang Guang, I'll write a letter to Zhang Miao, you go directly to see Zhang Miao with this letter, and ask him for food, salary, and equipment."

"With Brother Xun Yu's letter, there is nothing to worry about, come, drink."

Zhang Guang was also happy, but he didn't expect Pang Tong to open his mouth to 20,000 people, and what he didn't expect was that Cao Jun really agreed.

After returning to Chen Liucheng, he can expand the team recklessly.

The Ninth Army, more than 8,000 people, pulled several carts of bronze and iron tools, as well as a few stone-throwing carts and siege ballistae, and rushed to Chenliucheng.
