Previously, the Central Plains had been war-torn for a long time, and the people were more than ten or two, and the people's livelihood was withered, and it was impossible to support a large-scale army, so no one coveted this place among the princes.

However, it has become a robbery paradise for the Yellow Turban remnants.

They are like a herd of wild beasts that have lost their natural enemies, treating the remaining people as cattle and sheep that can be slaughtered at will, which makes the already poor Li people of the Central Plains even worse.

But since Cao Hong led his troops into Xu County, it was like a nail had been planted here, which made them feel a hint of crisis.

If the Cao clan had taken root here, their good days of wanton looting would have come to an end.

Therefore, they discussed that the best way was to work together to uproot the nail in Xu County, so that the Cao clan could not gain a foothold, and then they could continue to use the Central Plains as a predatory paradise.

Now He Yi, He Man, Liu Bi, and Huang Shao have each occupied one side, and they have surrounded Xu County.

The reason why the city has not yet been attacked is to let the Cao clan see the situation clearly, and it is best to withdraw automatically, and save them from doing it.

"These thieves are too self-conscious," Cao Chun sneered: "I will take my headquarters of soldiers and horses to attack He Yi in the south, and within ten days, I will be able to sweep away the thieves and bring He Yi's head back." ”

Each of the four Yellow Turban Army has more than 10,000 people, and Cao Chun only has 5,000 people, but he knows that the Yellow Turban Army is accompanied by generations, and the army has no baggage, and only makes a living by plundering, so he has absolute confidence that he can win in one battle.

Xiahou Yuan was not to be outdone, after all, the first merit was rewarded by Dawan Ma, and he said in a deep voice: "I will lead the army to the west, and it will be limited to ten days, and I will break the thieves." ”

The two of them each took one side, Cao Hong nodded, looked at the remaining Le Jin and Han Hao, and ordered: "General Le Jin has few soldiers, if he takes the initiative to attack more than 10,000 thieves on one side, he may not be able to win, you can march to the east to ensure that the grain route is unblocked." ”

At this time, Xu County had not yet started to tuntian, and all the grain and grass were transported from Yanzhou, and if Liu Pi was allowed to harass the grain road in the east, Cao Hong's garrison would be very passive.

Although Lejin's soldiers and horses were not enough to defeat Liu Bi's main force, the transportation of grain was enough to make Liu Pi dare not attack.

"No!"

Le Jin received the order, and he was happy in his heart, he could become a professional grain transport army.

There were arrangements in all three directions, only the northern vacancy remained, Cao Hong looked at Han Hao, who was speechless, frowned, and pondered.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army is fighting on its own, it is not smooth to cooperate with each other, and the more than 10,000 men and horses of He Man in the north can wait for Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan to return to the army before attacking.

But why did he leave Han Hao's 1,000 troops and horses, could it be difficult to help him defend the city?

Cao Hong knew that the reason why Cao Cao sent these captive troops, non-main forces, and Tuntian troops over was to test the results of military training.

Now that the Cao army has taken the initiative to attack, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Army will never have the opportunity to attack Xu County again, Han Hao led the army to stay in the city, how can the results be tested?

What's more, Han Hao is Liu Ping's subordinate, if he retreats in Xu County and does not go out of the city, Liu Ping's face will be dull when he goes back to report his merits.

But let him go out of the city, only a thousand military horses, or the weakest Tuntian army, what can he do?

"General Han Hao, General Han Hao!" Cao Hong shouted twice before Han Hao raised his head.

Cao Hong suddenly thought of an idea, and he said in a deep voice: "According to the scout's report, fifty miles to the north, He Fang, the brother of He Man, led more than 2,000 people to loot the village. ”

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun both attacked twice as many enemies as themselves, if Han Hao could defeat two thousand people with a thousand people, his merits should be similar to that of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun.

It is counted that Liu Ping has trained the weakest Tuntian army into the main force, and his face is also bright.

Even if he fails, it is normal, after all, the enemy is outnumbered, and training is not an overnight effort, and Liu Pingzi will not be unable to pass at that time.

If it weren't for Liu Ping, Cao Hong wouldn't have put so much thought into it.

"No!"

Han Hao panicked in his heart, even if there were 1,000 thieves, the scum under his command would not dare to attack, not to mention that the other party had 2,000 people.

The key is that he can still run when he sees the enemy soldiers before, and now that he has Lu Qi as the overseer, if he wants to run, that girl can kill people at will.

However, he didn't dare to disobey Cao Hong's military order, so he could only agree to come down first, and then think of other ways to escape.

Counsel certainly, and the congregation will disperse.

After Cao Chun went out, he passed down the order, ordering him to bring all ten days of grain and grass and immediately go south out of the city, in order to show his determination to break the enemy army within a time limit.

Xiahou Yuan did not dare to slack off, the biggest characteristic of his combat was that he was good at long-distance attacks, chasing and fighting fiercely, and did not give the opponent any respite.

He wants to make a name for himself in this battle, after all, he and Cao Chun are now in a competitive relationship, and defeating the enemy army is the most basic bottom line, and the speed must be fast, so he passed the same order.

No matter how thick-skinned Han Hao was, he was embarrassed to stay in the city, so he also led his army north to meet He Fang.

Lu Qi also rode a horse and carried a gun among the more than 20 cavalrymen, but she couldn't have the unexpected effect of Tai Shi Ci Zhang Liao, she was a female general, too conspicuous.

Within the range of more than ten miles around Xu County, the villages are still slightly denser, and then go to the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is a sparse scene, white bones can be seen everywhere in the wild, and the people in the village are more than one or two, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

It was only because the young men were either taken to serve as soldiers or killed, and the young women were mostly taken and used as trophies.

The robbery of thieves and soldiers is nothing more than robbing money, food and women, in these poor villages, after all, there is very little money and food, and only women can rob.

Han Hao led the army led by scouts, and when he marched to thirty miles, he found several corpses at the entrance of a village.

The scout, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, went into the village to inquire and came back to report that the thieves had ransacked the place just three days ago, and had taken away a small amount of food and a few young girls.

Han Haosheng ordered: "The traces of the thieves have been found, hurry up and chase them." ”

This is the first time he has led the troops independently, although he is a little timid in his heart, but when he looks back at the murderous Lu Qi, he is also quite helpless.

The main reason is that their army has never independently carried out combat tasks, and their main duty is to arrange for the displaced people to farm, and if you want to talk about drills, in the past ten days or so, they still don't know the so-called formation.

How can you fight the Yellow Turban Army twice as much as yourself?
