"Ping'er has a strategy to break the enemy?" Cao Ren asked suspiciously: "Why did Mr. Cheng judge like this, and what is the basis?" ”

Cao Ren looked at Cheng Yu, 40,000 troops attacked the city of 10,000 defenders, the advantage was not so obvious, and he didn't want to easily transfer the army attacking the city.

"I don't have any basis," Cheng Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just a judgment based on the actions of Ping Gongzi in the past."

General, please think about it, since Pinggongzi arrived in Yanzhou, he has made many miraculous achievements, which time has not made the impossible possible, why not this time? ”

In the past few months, Cheng Yu's old face has been swollen, and he can't help but remember it for a long time.

However, although he was repeatedly slapped in the face, he did not hold a grudge against Liu Ping at all.

He is the big housekeeper of Yanzhou, and Liu Ping has helped him a lot in almost everything he does, so he hopes from the bottom of his heart that this time Liu Ping can also create a miracle.

Cao Ren lowered his head and pondered for a while, as if this was the case, every time Liu Ping did anything, he was not favored, but in the end he did it.

"Ahem, ahem, Cheng Lingjun's words, Xi Mou didn't dare to agree," Xi Zhicai coughed violently for a while before saying: "How important is the grain and grass escorted by Prince Ping."

Not only is it about the success or failure of this attack on Pengcheng, if the grain and grass are destroyed, our tens of thousands of troops will face the danger of falling apart, how can we pin such a major event on his repeated miraculous achievements in the past, isn't it too child's play? ”

Saying this, Cao Ren's heart, which had just been a little calmer, twitched again.

Xi Zhicai's words were not alarmist, in order to march in a hurry, the grain and grass they brought were limited, only enough for a few days, and a large amount of food needed to be sent by Liu Ping later.

If there is any failure in the grain and grass escorted by Liu Ping, and the food they bring is exhausted, and the city has not been captured by then, and the army is out of food, let alone attacking the city, this army may disappear.

Xi Zhicai covered his chest, his face turned into the color of pig's liver, and said in a deep voice: "If Zang Ba dares to come to rob the grain, he will definitely find out the truth and truth of our side, and he will definitely bring more soldiers than us."

This is not a battle without burden, and you can retreat when you see that you are invincible.

Ping Gongzi protects so much grain and grass with a weak force, where can he retreat?

In a chaotic battle, the enemy only needs to put a fire to burn the grain and grass clean, and Ping Gongzi has the means, how to deal with it? ”

Judging from common sense, although Liu Ping's army was at a disadvantage against Zang Ba, it was not without the strength to fight.

The difficulty is that Liu Ping's army is escorting grain and grass, and it is impossible to win if it has to take care of so much baggage when fighting.

Cao Ren nodded again and again when he heard this, made up his mind, stood up and said loudly: "Order, order the forbidden department to withdraw from the front and prepare for rescue." ”

Cheng Yu lowered his head and stopped persuading, after all, he was not sure that Liu Ping would be able to resolve this crisis.

These grains and grasses are related to the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers, and they are the main force of the Yanzhou army, and he does not dare to take risks.

The herald had just gone out.

"Newspaper—"

Another herald ran in from outside with a long voice and knelt down: "General Yu, the head of the Ping Gongzi, captured the thief Zang Ba Sun Guan, captured 5,000 enemy soldiers, not a single grain of grain and grass was damaged, and he was on the way to escort, and he will arrive as scheduled." ”

"What? Say it again," Cao Ren glared at the herald and couldn't help but walk out from behind the table.

Liu Ping only had 4,000 men under his command, including 1,000 tuntian soldiers, who could not only protect the grain and grass, but also capture 5,000 enemy troops?

It sounds unbelievable.

The herald looked at the chief general who was about to eat people, and was so frightened that he hurriedly said again: "Ping Gongzi protected the grain and grass, and captured 5,000 enemy ......."

"How did he do it?"

"Ping Gongzi sent manpower to kill Yin Li, captured Zang Ba alive, and the enemy army surrendered without a fight."

"Hahaha, I see," Cao Ren couldn't help but laugh excitedly: "Ping'er, this guy, can always do things unexpectedly, and it really can't be considered by common sense."

With this incident, he can be credited with a great credit. ”

"It's true that you can't use ordinary people to measure Ping Gongzi," Cheng Yu stroked his beard beside him, and the old god was smiling.

This time he believed that Liu Ping was right, otherwise he was afraid that someone would laugh at his nonsense.

"General, quickly withdraw the heralds summoned to the forbidden general." Cheng Yu hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes," Cao Ren was so happy that he almost forgot about it, he patted his forehead busily, and said to the people around him: "Go and call the herald back." ”

"Poof—"

Cao Ren Chengyu heard that the voice was wrong, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a mouthful of blood spurting out of Xi Zhicai's mouth, and his body slowly softened.

Just now, Xi Zhicai judged according to common sense that Liu Ping could not save the grain and grass, so he strongly persuaded Cao Ren to withdraw his troops to rescue as soon as possible.

Now that the voice is still in his ears, who would have thought that the news would come immediately after that, Liu Ping not only did not lose a grain of grain and grass, but also captured more enemy troops than his own, so what did he have to lose?

He was already in poor health, and when he was excited, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

"Drama Sacrifice Wine!" Cao Ren and Cheng Yu exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly walked over to support ......

……

Besides, Cao Ang guarded Dongguan County.

The squires were very powerful, not only did they bring all the poultry and livestock that could be slaughtered at home, but even many squires personally went to the grange outside the city to buy poultry raised by the common people at a high price, and sent them to the barracks in a steady stream.

For the squires of Dongguan County, to serve the eldest prince is to repay the great kindness of Liu Fujun, and naturally everyone does their best.

There were even squires who secretly asked Cao Ang if he needed to buy indescribable women to reward the soldiers, but Cao Ang sternly refused.

I have never heard of such a labor army, and the morale has been improved, but how can I fight when my legs are weak?

Now Cao Ang has only 2,000 soldiers under his command, all of whom are full of oil.

They have never had so much oil and water in their stomachs in their lives, so they are naturally grateful to Cao Dagongzi, and the morale of the army is high.

Cao Ang was overjoyed and secretly felt in his heart, thanks to his brother's connections here, so many squires spared no effort to help.

Thinking that Liu Ping had to take credit to him every time he made meritorious service in the past, he secretly decided that if he could successfully complete the task this time, he would also repay the favor and give half of the credit to his brother.

"Newspaper—"

At this time, Cao Ang was sitting in the barracks, and suddenly a herald shouted from afar.

Cao Ang's heart sank, it's time to come.

Three days ago, there were already scouts who reported that Guan Yu, the general of Pengcheng, led 10,000 troops and horses to kill in the direction of Dongguan County.

This was part of their plan, so Cao Ang was not surprised at all, but silently arranged the city defense and waited for it.

Relying on two thousand soldiers with high morale to guard the city, even if there is no harassment from behind by Xiahou Yuan, it should not be difficult to defend for fifteen days.

In half a month, Cao Ren was enough to take Pengcheng County, and if he lost the rear, Guan Yu would retreat without a fight.

"The eldest prince, Pengcheng Guan Yujun has lost its trace in the Dayi Mountain in front of him."
