Lei Bo and Chen Lan's plan had been decided, and the two of them quickly gathered their own soldiers, and there were more than 500 people, and they directly returned to Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun was still waiting there for Lei Bo to obediently hand over the military power, and suddenly saw Lei Bo Chen Lan fully armed and led the army to kill.

"You ...... this"

Zhang Xun still wanted to preach with righteous words, but when he saw the murderous Lei Bo Chen Lan, he immediately fell to his knees with a decisive plop, straightened up, and said loudly: "Ancestor spare his life!" ”

"Your ancestors want to see you, tell your own ancestors," Lei Bo gritted his teeth and slashed forward with his sword.

Zhang Xun was not Lei Bo's opponent, not to mention that this place had been surrounded by Lei Bo's army corps, so he naturally couldn't escape, and he was soon cut into meat sauce.

Killing Zhang Xun and reversing Yuan Shu, the huge Runan City actually fell into the hands of Lei Bo.

It's just that Lei Bo understands that this Runan City is in the land of four wars, there is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, so with the strength of the two of them, they can't hold it anyway.

So he falsely passed on the holy decree of Yuan Shu and led more than 10,000 soldiers to quietly abandon the city.

……

The heavy snow still kept falling, and although there was a charcoal brazier in the big tent of Cao Junzhongjun, the cold wind could still blow the snowflakes in through the cracks, and it was as cold as not having a brazier.

Cao Ang, Liu Ping, Cao Chun, and Xiahou Yuan sat there staring wide-eyed.

"This ghost weather is not suitable for war at all," Cao Chunha said to Cao Ang: "Tomorrow is the day of withdrawal given by your father, so it's better to pack up and return to the army as soon as possible." ”

At that time, Cao Cao had sent an order to come, if there was no progress within ten days, he would withdraw to Xudu and wait for the spring of next year.

After all, it is impossible for 3,000 cavalry to really attack the city, and there is no point in spending it any longer.

Now the ten-day period is approaching.

"This is the first time I've led an army on my own, so did I return empty-handed?" Cao Ang looked at the direction of Runan City in a daze, and he was unwilling in his heart.

"Having beheaded 20,000 people in the previous war, your contribution is not small," Cao Chun persuaded Cao Ang and said: "With this merit, your father will definitely let you lead the troops independently in the future, and if you want to make war merits, there is an opportunity, and there is no need to rush at this time." ”

"If it snows so heavily today, the morale of the soldiers will not be boosted no matter what," Xiahou Yuan echoed: "Besides, Yuan Jun is cowering in the city and does not come out, so we rarely have a chance." ”

Cao Ang was upset by the persuasion of two uncles, one on the left and one on the right, but after thinking about it, what the two said also made sense.

They relied on cavalry to win before, but cavalry could not be used to attack the city, and if the defenders in Runan City could not shrink back, it would be useless for them to spend here, but they would waste food and grass in vain.

Thinking of this, Cao Ang couldn't help but glance at Liu Ping, who was silent, holding the hand stove next to him.

Now that nearly ten days have passed, Lei Boguan has also been sealed, and food has been sent, Liu Ping's so-called divisive plan still has not worked, and it seems that there is no hope.

"According to the words of the two uncles, let's withdraw the army tomorrow," Cao Ang sighed helplessly.

At this time, suddenly a soldier hurriedly came in with a curtain, bowed down and said, "My lord, the city gate in front of you suddenly opened, and many people poured out. ”

"What did you say?"

Cao Ang stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the door of the big tent, lifted the curtain and looked, only to see that the suspension bridge of Runan City in the distance had been lowered at some point, and the city gate was also wide open, and it seemed that many people had fled with the old and the young.

"Huh, why is that?" Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan, who came over, couldn't help but be confused.

Liu Ping jumped up and said with a smile: "It must be a plan of separation, maybe Lei Bo Chen Lan has led the army to abandon the city and flee." ”

He knew that Lei Bo Chen Lan in history was suspicious of Yuan Shu, so he really went to Songshan to settle down for the grass.

And in the future, after Yuan Shu was cornered, he wanted to go to Songshan to join the two of them, but the two not only refused, but also led the army to attack Yuan Shu and robbed a lot of treasures and concubines.

"Command, gather the army, and fight into the city!"

Cao Ang suddenly became in high spirits, although he was not sure if it was really as Liu Ping said, but at least the city gate had been opened, and he could take Runan City in one go.

Cao's cavalry quickly assembled, encountered no resistance, and successfully swept into the city, and sure enough, did not find a single defender.

In the general's mansion, Cao Ang ordered someone to burn the charcoal brazier in the room, and Liu Ping put down the hand stove in his hand.

"Brother Xian, I didn't expect your discordant plan to really come true," Cao Ang smiled happily.

Just now he sent scouts to inquire and found out that Lei Bo Chen Lan led the army away, but did not go in the direction of Shouchun, but went west.

Thinking of all the arrangements made by Liu Ping before, it is not difficult to guess that this is obviously because the two of them were suspicious of Yuan Shu and did not dare to go back.

"You have the greatest credit for capturing Runan City this time.

We will take this city as a base, and the next step can be to merge into Shouchun and quell the rebellion of Yuan Shu,"

Breaking through the city was effortless, and Cao Ang was so excited that he had already begun to plan his next step.

At this time, some soldiers "invited" the officials in charge of household registration money and food.

The army can be withdrawn, but the civilian officials cannot be withdrawn.

The man trembled and handed over an album of records about Runan's family.

There was a big drought this year, and there was no extra money and food in the city's treasury, otherwise Lei Bo Chen Lan would not be in a hurry to rob the Cao family's military rations.

However, after all, Runan is one of the largest counties in the world, with a population of more than 900,000, which is a huge wealth for the Cao family.

As long as there are people, there will be a steady stream of food, grass and soldiers.

There is a more important point, Runan is Yuan Shu's hometown, so when Cao's soldiers entered this place, Yuan Shu did not hesitate to send half of his soldiers and horses to defend.

Now that Cao Jun is representing the imperial court to capture Runan, he is occupying the place where the ancestors of the Yuan family are buried, can Yuan Shu not be in a hurry?

……

Xu Du, the atmosphere in the court was extremely depressing.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu is in vain to claim the emperor, this is a big rebellion," Han Song bowed and said: "Such evil deeds, people and gods are angry, the court should have used all the power of the country to ask for it, but Cao Sikong only sent 3,000 troops to fight, which is too rash." ”

At this time, Cao Jungong was unfavorable to fight Yuanshu, and the dilemma of advancing and retreating outside Runan had been transmitted to Xudu.

These courtiers stood and spoke without backache, and they couldn't help but have a lot of complaints about Cao's strategy this time.

"Now Yuan Shao is eyeing Xu Du in the north, if the army marches south, Xu Du will be in danger," Cao Cao's face was not good-looking, and he said coldly.

"Even if Yuan Shao is in the north, the Southern Expeditionary Army should not be too much, but Cao Sikong's choice of the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army is also debatable," Han Song continued: "There are many people who can command the troops under the Sikong Mansion, and Cao Sikong himself is also a first-class commander in the world, but why choose a young man who has never had independent experience in leading troops as the commander, this is inevitably suspicious of nepotism."

It is not surprising that Runan City has been attacked for a long time,

Come to think of it, Cao Sikong sent the army to the south this time, and he didn't have much hope. ”

Cao Cao was annoyed in his heart, in fact, what Han Song said was right, his original intention was to sneak attack Yuan Shu, as long as he won a small victory and blocked the mouth of the people in the world.

But unexpectedly, the news of the sneak attack was leaked, and Cao Ang didn't even take a county.

Now that Han Song said it in front of him in the court, it inevitably made his face gloomy.
