Awarded in the third year of the Han Dynasty, in January.

The battle of Yecheng has completely ended, Liu He and his family were sent to Luoyang, although the title has been set, but the real canonization has to be done by Liu Neng, if Chen Mo sets the title for him, it will be a bit overstepping, in terms of etiquette, Chen Mo will never exceed the slightest transgression, it can be said that it has given enough face to the royal family.

And Yuan Shang and Cao Cao's army is also beginning to approach the direction of Yecheng at this time, the two seem to have reached a tacit understanding, Yuan Shang took the initiative to let Jiang Yiqu and Wei Yuanjin withdraw from Liyang, ready to gather heavy troops to recapture Yecheng, and Cao Cao's original plan was to take advantage of the emptiness in Chen Mo's rear, take Liyang to the west, capture Hanoi, cut off Chen Mo's retreat, if possible, take the opportunity to capture Luoyang.

It's just that Chen Mo has obviously been guarding against this hand for a long time, and now there is no shortage of food in Yecheng, but if the back road is cut off, Chen Mo will not be able to do it even if he wants to return to Luoyang from Montenegro, so Chen Mo asked Wuyi to train troops in the Chaoge area a long time ago.

After learning of Cao Cao's intentions, Wuyi quickly occupied the area of Yanjin and Wuchao first, and began to build defenses to prevent Cao Cao from crossing the border to capture Hanoi.

The surrender of Jizhou plus the 20,000 soldiers and horses that Chen Mo later photographed, as well as the soldiers and horses transferred from Heluo one after another, there were nearly 50,000 people along the way in Wuyi.

The speed of mobilization of the Guanzhong army made Cao Cao a little frightened.

Located more than ten miles north of Yanjin, under the dim skylight, several Cao Jun scouts rode forward, which was close to the vicinity of the Wuyi army, and several scouts were very vigilant and did not distance too far apart, so as not to encounter a secret plot.

The sound of hooves seemed to wake up the birds in the forest, and a flock of birds suddenly flew up from the forest and flew off into the distance.

"Be careful!" The older scout noticed that something was wrong, and such a place was the most prone to ambush, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and let out a short shout.

As if it was a signal, the next moment several cold lights swept by, and it looked a little dazzling among the dim forest roads.

Draw the sword, block the arrow, someone blocks it, and someone doesn't.

A few short muffled snorts, the habit of scouts has been ingrained in their bones, and even if they are mortally wounded, they will suppress their voices to avoid making louder noises.

Several Guanzhong scouts came out of the forest, there was no scolding and communication, the communication between the scouts usually did not take much time, and the tool of their communication was usually the knife in their hands.

"Bang~"

"Poof~"

There were not many people on both sides, and after a short fight, the smell of blood filled the forest path, and the two Guanzhong scouts helped each other to stand up after everyone fell, and did not look at the corpses of their companions on the ground, so naturally someone would deal with them.

Such a small-scale ambush and counter-ambush is the main theme between Yanjin and Baima today, the main forces of the two sides have never met, but the conflict between the two sides such a small group of scouts occurs dozens or even hundreds of times a day, mainly to explore the surrounding terrain, if possible, to explore the details of the enemy's army, but Wuyi is cautious by nature, Yanjin is full of bright posts and secret posts, and the generals of Cao Cao's army are also good at counter-reconnaissance, and both sides have not been able to bargain for this kind of tentative attack.

White Horse, Cao Jun's battalion, handed the casualty report sent back by the front line scouts to everyone for circulation, Cao Cao sighed: "Wuyi, when I saw him in the past, he was just a child, but now he is a general." ”

The older generation of famous generals has not yet withdrawn, and the younger generation of generals has begun to emerge, as Chen Mo's cronies and generals, Cao Cao is naturally no stranger to Wuyi, if you want to say how powerful it is, it may not be, but it is a headache, Wuyi uses soldiers, there is only one word...... Steady!

But this word is the most difficult to break, as long as the logistics supply can keep up, it rarely shows flaws.

It seemed that seeing the young man who followed Chen Mo most of the time and rarely spoke, Cao Cao sighed a little, the years are urging people to get old.

"Lord, Wuyi also knows some of this, but a young man Lang'er, an army of 50,000, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to control, and he thinks that he can test the attack, or he can be defeated in battle." Cheng Yu put down the bamboo slip and looked at Cao Caodao.

Commanding thousands of troops and horses sounds like a very grand thing, but commanding troops is not who is more magnificent than whom, especially in this kind of overall operation of tens of thousands of troops, the ability of the main general is particularly important.

If it can be dispatched properly, just like when Chen Mo broke Yuan Shao's 100,000 army with 60,000, he can defeat the strong with the weak, on the contrary, if the master is incompetent, no matter how good the soldiers are, they will become a rabble, but they will definitely not be strong.

And Wu Yi is about the same age as Chen Mo, but there are definitely not many people who can reasonably command an army of 50,000 at this age, not everyone is as demonic as Chen Mo, but more people in this world are mortals.

"Not bad." Cao Hong, who was under the tent, took a step forward and saluted Cao Cao and said: "Lord, but a junior, the last general only needs 5,000 soldiers and horses, go and ask him to command the army!" ”

"Don't despise it, then Han Qiong is known as the king of guns in Hebei, and he is not defeated by Wuyi?" Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong's confident appearance and had a headache, who said that you can't fight when you're young, Cao Cao believes that Chen Mo will not be nepotistic in this kind of thing, and if Wu Yi doesn't have this ability, he won't be placed in this position by Chen Mo.

"An old pawn, besides, that martial righteousness is just a trick to win, and it is inevitable that the victory will not be martial, and the last general will try him for the lord." Cao Hong said with a smile.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "It's okay, if you have 10,000 elite soldiers to go to battle, don't be careless, Yuan Rang, you lead the cavalry to cruise the flanks, if that Wuyi sends troops to meet the battle, wait for the opportunity to break it." ”

"Whoa!"

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong came out to receive the order, and each ordered his troops and horses to go all the way to Yanjin.

Eyes, Wuyi Administration.

Cheng Fang walked in quickly from outside the door and saluted Wuyi: "General, the scouts are here to report that two groups of Cao's army are coming to Yanjin." ”

"Do you know who is in charge of the troops?" Wu Yi looked up and asked.

"Look at the flag, it is Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, the generals of the Cao Army." Cheng Fang arched his hand.

"Strictly defend the city, and you can't go to war without my order!" Wu Yi said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Cheng Fang agreed and took the order.

Xiahoudun, Cao Hong!

Wu Yi put down the bamboo slips in his hand, these two are Cao Ying generals, Wu Yi silently spread out the map of the Yanjin area, his task is to hold the east of Hanoi, not to let the Cao army cut off the way back to the lord, Yanjin is an important place, as long as it is held here, the Cao army will not be able to attack Hanoi.

At noon, Cao Hong led the army to Yanjin and sent people to call for battle, only to see a general out of the battle, and said loudly to the defenders at the head of the city: "Where is Wuyi, dare to go out of the city to fight?" ”

Wu Yi climbed the enemy tower, looked at the formation of the Cao army, looked at Cheng Fang on the side and said with a smile: "This Cao Hong is worthy of being the general of the Cao army, the array is orderly, and the march is like an arm command." ”

"The general is going to war?" Cheng Fang looked at Wu Yidao.

"No need, Cao Jun came with two people, but now he only sees Cao Hong all the way." Wu Yi looked around outside the city and said: "I see that another group of people and horses will be close to the left, just waiting for our army to leave the city, I am waiting here to block the Cao army, not to fight for a while." ”

"The last will understand." Cheng Fang will understand.

Outside the city, the general of the Cao army called several times in a row, but when he saw that no one answered from the defenders at the head of the city, he frowned and retreated into the army.

"This Wuyi is a bit self-aware!" Cao Hong glanced at the city, sneered, turned around and ordered the soldiers to camp with a swagger.

"General, Cao's army is in a scattered formation, why don't you take the opportunity to send troops to attack it?" Looking at the enemy's formation from the side, he felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and looked at Wuyi Dao.

"Cao Hong is the general of the Cao army, he has experienced a hundred battles, I met him for the first time, I shouldn't be so careless, I'm afraid this move is to lure me out of the city, don't be tricked, and wait and see for a few days." Wu Yi shook his head, and if he changed places, he would do the same.

Cheng Fang said no more.

On the other side, Cao Hong didn't see Wuyi send troops until the camp was set up, he pouted a little depressedly, looked at Niu Jin beside him and said, "I don't know if this person is cowardly or really sees through my plan." ”

"General, do the soldiers have to wait any longer?" Niu Jin looked at Cao Hongdao.

"No need, let them go back to the camp to rest, arrange for people to patrol the camp, don't be really taken advantage of by this junior." Cao Hong shook his head, seeing that the other party was not ready to make a move, a strong attack was the next step, and now he could only see how long that Wuyi could be like this.

"Whoa!" Hearing this, the generals agreed, and each went back to the camp to rest, Cao Hong glanced at the city again, snorted coldly, and turned back to the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Be on guard, divide the soldiers into four teams, patrol day and night, don't give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, and send more scouts to investigate the surrounding movements, be sure to find out the location of the Cao army hidden in the shadows!" Wu Yi looked at the Cao army camp in the distance, and said solemnly to the generals around him.

"Whoa!" The generals bowed down and received the command.

In the next few days, there were a lot of scouts between the two sides, but the real main force collided but there was no, Cao Hong called people to the city every day to call for battle, but Wuyi could not hold out, as for the forced siege of the city, Cao Hong was not impulsive to that extent, 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city garrisoned by tens of thousands of people.

In this way, for several days, Cao Hong even directly exposed flaws several times to lure Wuyi to attack, but Wuyi was never moved, but continued to strengthen the defense and consolidate the defense line.

"I've never seen such a daring person!" Half a month later, Cao Hong's patience was finally worn out, which felt so uncomfortable, even if it was better to lose a battle, it felt like he was confronting the air.

He is now sure that Wu Yi did not see his flaws at all, but did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

"Don't be angry, general, be careful of the martial plan." Niu Jin hurriedly persuaded.

"Bullshit strategy, it's clear that you don't have the courage to fight, you send someone to scold me, scold me fiercely, and scold this guy for me!" Cao Hong snorted angrily, looked at Niu Jin and said, "Put those in the army...... The scum has been found for me, and this is the time to use them, scold me fiercely! ”

Niu Jin hurriedly bowed down and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”
