Cao Ren was drinking in the Wanxian County Mansion, and he found out that Li Xian had marched to Bowang County.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's repeated warnings that he couldn't go to war, it would have been agreed that Cao Hong would send troops together and attack Li Xian on both sides.

But now I can only sit and watch Li Xian lead a group of bandits to run rampant in Nanyang, the more I think about him, the more angry he becomes, and scolds Li Xian while drinking: "Li Xian, you traitor, you dare to come to Nanyang with a group of bandits, with my Cao Ren, you don't want to stand in Nanyang." Yuan Shao, the old horseman, is also useless, not only can he not kill Li Xian, but also let him develop and grow ....... ”

The soldiers who served him stood outside the door, and no one dared to provoke Cao Ren at this time.

But the men sat at home, and the soldiers came out of the city.

The scout hurried to the door, and the doorman stopped him and said, "The general is angry, if it is not an urgent military situation, he will come back later." ”

The scout hurriedly said: "There is an urgent military situation, and you must report to the general now." ”

Since it was an urgent military situation, the doorman did not dare to stop it, and hurriedly and cautiously entered and knelt down to report: "General, the scout has an urgent military situation report." ”

Although Cao Ren was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off even if he had an urgent military situation: "Let him come in." ”

"No."

The doorman went out and said to the scout, "Be careful when you speak, don't irritate the general." ”

The scout also knew Cao Ren's irascible temper, so he went in and knelt down on one knee and said: "Report to the general, Li Xian has ordered Gao Shun to lead 3,000 people to attack the county, and another general under the banner of Xiahou is leading 2,000 people to the city of Wanxian County, and Li Xian personally leads the army behind his army." ”

Xiahou Lan is Li Xie's new general, and he doesn't have a name, and the scouts don't know which Xiahou it is.

Cao Ren didn't know either, but it was definitely not Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan, and he was not the only one in the world with the surname Xiahou.

Whoever it was, the enemy army was already in the city, and he immediately summoned his generals to the city gate tower and asked the soldiers to go up to the city to defend it.

Cao Ren was wearing armor and carrying a big sword, but he saw that the enemy army under the city was disorganized, and there was no queue of military formations at all.

He looked at it suspiciously, feeling that Li Xian was not a person who did not know how to use soldiers, and it was impossible for his subordinates to be so unbearable.

The subordinate general Niu Jin watched the enemy soldiers under the city scatter so much from the side, and said to Cao Ren: "General, the enemy soldiers are a group of rabble, let's go out of the city and attack." ”

Cao Ren also wanted to send troops to attack and defeat Li Xian to relieve his hatred, but after thinking for a while, he said: "No, Cao Gong ordered us to hold the city and not fight." Besides, Li Xian is not an incompetent general, his subordinates cannot be so messy, there must be fraud in this. ”

Xiahou Lan sent people to shout and scold under the city: "Cao Ren has no guts, surrender the city quickly, otherwise you will enter the city and chop you into pulp." ”

"Boy Cao Ren, what else can you do besides slaughtering the people? If you have a kind of going out of the city to fight. ”

"Cao Ren, our General Li Zhengnan has captured Ye County, Cao Hong has been beheaded, you don't surrender quickly, General Li is benevolent and righteous, I can give you a knife to finish."

Cao Ren was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and Niu Jin next to him was also so angry that he slammed his fist on the city wall.

But Cao Ren still restrained himself, he knew that this must be Li Xian's trickery.

He and Li Xian have fought together many times, and Li Xian has been defeated once.

Moreover, Li Xian even knew that Zhang Xiu would rebel, and he was like a god, which could not help but make him jealous.

Although he said at that time that it was Li Xian who colluded with Zhang Xiu, he just wanted to put Li Xian to death, whether he really colluded with Zhang Xiu, he also knew in his heart.

He restrained himself, but Niu Jin, the general next to him, was anxious: "General, I see that the city is full of black mountain bandits, scattered and unformed, and vulnerable, so I beg the general to fight." ”

"No, Li Xian must be trying to get us out of the city, so as to take the opportunity to seize the city, how can we be fooled."

Cao Ren knew that these people in the city would definitely be vulnerable, but if he led his troops out, Li Xian was ambushed on the side, took the opportunity to kill, and captured Wan County, then he would have no face to see Cao Gong.

Niu Jin said hurriedly: "General, you only need to give the last general 300 people, and the last general will go to get the head of the enemy general back." ”

Cao Ren was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, General Niu has the courage, I will give you 500 men, remember, do not chase the enemy, in case you fall into the trap of the enemy." ”

"No." Niu Jin obeyed the order.

He picked up five hundred horsemen, opened the gates, and rushed out.

There were 500 cavalry among the 3,000 soldiers in Shouwan County, and Cao Ren had already let him lead all the cavalry into battle in order to win the battle of Niu Jin.

When Xia Houlan came, he said to his subordinates that if he wanted to be defeated, the enemy army should run faster when he goes into battle, and he should pretend to be a real defeat, and the more he is defeated, the more the general will be rewarded.

These subordinates who have been bandits brought from Changshan are a little difficult for them to win, and it is not easy to pretend to be defeated.

So when they came to the city to call for war, there was no battlefield pressure at all, and they all scolded Cao Ren with a hippie smile.

When they saw the gates open and hundreds of horsemen rushed out, they all ran backwards with a grunt.

Xia Houlan originally wanted to pretend to be a suit, and wait for the enemy soldiers to get closer before running, but seeing that all his subordinates had run away, he had to follow.

Niu Jin led the cavalry to rush out, and wanted to kill for a while, but only killed a few enemy soldiers who ran behind due to falls.

When he wanted to continue the pursuit, Cao Ren in the city hurriedly called gold and asked him to collect his troops and return to the city.

Niu Jin laughed at Cao Ren and said, "General, look at these enemy thieves, they will all be defeated without fighting them, and it seems that Li Xian and his troops are nothing more than that." ”

Cao Ren is also strange, if you want to deceive these people, it is not very similar, as if they ran away one by one, it may be that Li Xian can't control these thieves.

However, now that the enemy has fled, it is impossible for him to go out of the city to fight, after all, it is more important to defend the city.

After Xiahoulan's troops fled for ten miles, they only stopped when they encountered Li Xian's soldiers and horses.

The scene of their defeat had already been reported to Li Xian, and Li Xian was both happy and worried when he heard it.

The good news is that these people are defeated, and the worry is that it would be too bad if they were like this in the actual war.

Xiahou Lan came to reply to him: "General, ...... them Do you want to kill a few people? ”

Li Xian shook his hand and said: "No need, I made you pretend to be defeated, you did a good job, but in the future, your military regulations and military orders will be more strict." ”

"No." Xia Houlan answered and stepped aside.

"General, are we going to march to Wanxian County?" Zhao Yun asked.

"No, let's set up camp here first, and wait for news from Pepin."

"There are only 3,000 people in Peping, can you capture Sui County?"

Although Zhao Yun also knew that Gao Shun was powerful with troops, he still didn't believe that he could capture a city guarded by 2,000 people with 3,000 soldiers.

Li Xian smiled and said: "I really don't know what Cao Cao thinks, he actually asked Cao Zixiao and Zhang Wenyuan to divide their troops to guard the two cities, and wanted them to rescue each other." In fact, if they join forces and hold the city, it will be difficult for us to conquer. ”

"We are camping here, will Cao Ren send troops to attack Peping with Zhang Liao?" Zhao Yun was a little worried about Gao Shun's situation.

"That's not going to happen, we are only ten miles away from Wanxian, if Cao Ren sends troops, Wanxian will be lost. As for Wen Yuan, I believe Pepin will persuade him to surrender. ”

Li Xian ordered to camp on the spot, set up horse-blocking trenches around the camp, and released a number of open posts and secret posts to prevent Cao Ren's night attack.

Cao Ren knew that Li Xian had set up camp ten miles away from the city, and he couldn't figure out what conspiracy Li Xian was making.
