After being stationed in Yangren City, Cao Cao and Liu Bei respectively sent two soldiers and horses with a small number of people to secretly camp near Yangren City, while most of the soldiers and horses were stationed in Yangren City.

Cao Cao, who also served as a general, naturally had the ability to lead the overall situation, he let the pottery merchants guard the west gate, let Liu Bei guard the east gate, and he personally guarded the north gate, waiting for the arrival of the Huaxiong army.

Because of the relationship between the profession of later generations, the potter read a wide range of books and knew more.

But knowing more doesn't mean that he will arrange troops, when it comes to the way of commanding soldiers and horses, he still has to rely on Xu Chu and Mi Fang.

During this time, the pottery merchant followed Xu Chudong to learn, and looked at the west, here to see how to set up camp for soldiers and horses, and to see the distribution and scheduling of grain and grass, and to increase his experience little by little through practice.

But it's a pity that in terms of military aircraft, Xu Chu is only rough and superficial.

When it comes to fighting in front of the battle, charging and killing the enemy, Xu Chu is a first-class expert, but in terms of the art of war, this guy only 'understands a little'.

The potter knew in his heart that Xu Chu was a fierce general, but he was not a handsome talent...... It seems that there is still a lack of many due talents under his command.

On the morning of this day, the potter followed Xu Chu at the gate of the city tower and arranged the reserves of rolling stones and bows and arrows.

"Zhong Kang, how is the Tiger Guard's training?" While resting, the potter took the time to ask Xu Chu about the training of the Tiger Guard.

Xu Chu laughed a few times: "What are you training for?" Want to have a big success in just a few days? No matter how good the practice is, you have to go to the battlefield to practice real knives and guns in order to gradually mature. ”

The potter nodded, he also knew the importance of experience, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the key to gaining experience is still on the battlefield, this thing is the same as the exam, no matter how good the review is, it is useless to play stage fright during the exam.

"This time against the Huaxiong Army, we must create the best opportunity for the Tiger Guards, one is to avoid the casualties of the Tiger Guards as much as possible, and the other is to let them maximize their experience."

Xu Chu was stunned when he heard it, and only said after a while: "You are too bullying, the two armies are fighting, fighting for life and death, the weather, terrain, morale, arrangement, and armor equipment can all determine the victory or defeat, this is not for me Xu Chu to say!" ”

"Then I don't care." The potter began to be unreasonable: "Anyway, the soldiers are brought by you, and the order is from me, no matter what you think, you have to do it for me, I just don't want the result to be processed, and I will ask you for results after the battle." ”

The horizontal meat on Xu Chu's face twitched.

If the potter had told him about it in an arrogant manner, he would have been able to catch it, but this boy looked like a humble gentleman, but what he said was more unreasonable than that of the most scoundrel.

Xu Chu began to think about whether to find an opportunity to take refuge in Huaxiong.

"Childe! Big Prince! An eager voice came from behind.

The potter turned his head, but saw Mi Fang running towards him in a hurry, and handed a slip in his hand to the potter with a pant.

"Eldest Prince, there is news from Hanoi County, the Lord of the Yuan League has an order!"

The potter took the slip in confusion and unfolded it, his eyes suddenly widened.

Looking at the potter's suddenly changing expression, Xu Chu and Mi Fang's curiosity came up, and they hurriedly said, "Eldest son, what is written in the letter?" ”

The potter's hand trembled slightly, as if he was speechless with excitement.

After a long time, Fang handed the Jian Mu that had been opened to the two of them tremblingly.

Xu Chu stretched out his hand to take it first, and Mi Fang and Mi Fang put their heads against their heads, and came together in front of Jian Mu, as if they wanted to pierce their faces into it.

"The one who beheaded Huaxiong...... 500 gold rewards!? …… Behead Xu Rong and reward Lin Toe Gold 300!? The two exclaimed in unison.

Xu Chu raised his head in surprise, puzzled: "What does Yuan Shao mean by this?" ”

The chief of the pottery merchant sighed and said leisurely: "The fourth world and the third duke, the wealth is rich...... Yuan Shao was afraid that the Southern Route Army would lose the battle, so he encouraged the officers and soldiers of the three armies with heavy rewards. ”

**************************************

At this time, in the field not far from the west gate of Yangren County, there was a burst of horn sounds.

In the distance at the west gate of Yangren City, a huge army was slowly advancing towards Yangren City. Dressed in iron armor, leather armor, cloth and leather armor, carrying all kinds of equipment of the sergeants layer upon layer, endless, countless halberds in the army, endless swords and round shields to fight, emitting a heavy muffled sound, and in the middle of the army, a general riding a black horse, is staring at the city of the Yang people in the distance.

This person is Hua Xiong.

He looked like he was in his forties, with a black beard, broad cheekbones, slender eyes, and thick eyebrows. With long hair untied and scattered over his shoulders in the wind, he is dressed in a mighty iron armor with a black battle robe, and he is definitely the most eye-catching person wherever he goes.

Hua Xiong has been serving under Dong Zhuo since the first day of his enlistment, and he has climbed to the position of governor little by little, he may not be the most warlike and the most skilled general under Dong Zhuo, but in terms of combat style and decisiveness and ruthlessness, he is the closest person to Dong Zhuo.

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and a scout horse galloped towards Hua Xiong's formation.

"Governor! Subordinate investigations, the three-way rebels led by Cao Cao are all entrenched in Yangren City at this moment, with a solid stone barrier in the city, and the defense is extremely strict! ”

Hua Xiong let out a low "um" and asked, "Where are Sun Jian's soldiers and horses?" ”

The scout shook his head and said, "Not here!" ”

"Is the investigation true?"

The scout arched his hand and said: "The last general's investigation is true, Sun Jian's army is indeed not in Yangren City!" ”

Hua Xiong raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really strange, this governor led the army here, and Sun Jian didn't come to fight me, but ran away...... Could it be that he really led his troops to fight Xu Rong? ”

Beside Hua Xiong, Li Su, the cavalry captain, smiled and said: "Sun Jian is not here, forgive Cao Cao, Kong Ling, Tao Qian's son Nuo Nuo and others, how can they be the opponents of the Grand Governor?" ”

Hua Xiong smiled disapprovingly, and said: "In the rebellion of Kanto, Sun Jian is the only one who can be worried, and now this person is not here, it is really the will of God to help me succeed!" and wait for the governor to break the Yangren City, and then encircle and suppress Sun Jian with Xu Rong...... If you can get rid of Sun Jian, and look at the traitors, who can fight against me? ”

Li Su, the commander of the cavalry, looked flattering, and showed that he agreed with Hua Xiong's suggestion.

At this time, a thought suddenly flashed in Li Su's mind, and said, "Governor, Xu Rong sent a message yesterday to say that he didn't meet Sun Jian over there?" ”

Hua Xiong frowned and said, "What do you mean?" Are you saying that Sun Jian is likely to be nearby, intending to join forces with the rebels in the city? ”

Li Su frowned and said: "It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, after all, Sun Jian is good at using soldiers, and he is also known as the Jiangdong Tiger, how can he not know the truth of the speed of soldiers?" Xu Rong hasn't encountered a single soldier of the rebels until now, I'm afraid ......"

Hua Xiong's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "No matter, when you continue to suffer from the chaos, you will take Yangren City first!" Command the attacking army, set up ladders, load rushing cars, and prepare for the attack! ”

After the order was transmitted, Hua Xiong's army began a series of rearrangements, the siege equipment was moved from the rear to the front, and the sergeants of the death squad also stepped forward......

……………………

Above Cheng Guo, Mi Fang's legs trembled a little, and he trembled: "Didn't you say that the Huaxiong Army is most likely to attack from the north gate?" Why did it appear at the West Gate? ”

Xu Chu snorted heavily, despising Mi Fang's timidity and panic, and said: "Since it is said to be 'most likely', it is just a guess, now that people have arrived here, what can they do?" Prince, let's fight! ”

The potter's mood was also very uneasy.

After all, such a large formation, compared to the last confrontation with the Fuyun Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, is completely two natures.

The Fuyun Yellow Turban Army is just a remnant of the rogue party, but the soldiers and horses in front of them can be said to be the most brave and warlike strong army in the entire Han Dynasty at present.

Finally reborn once, and finally got such a young body, the potter best understands how precious the value of life is, he doesn't want to die, he wants to live...... Live to a hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred...... Then Heaven would do well to give him another five hundred years.

"Open the gates!" The potter ordered: "Without my order, no one is allowed to send an arrow, and those who violate it will be immediately killed!" In addition, prepare a banquet and put it on the city. ”

Xu Chu listened to the first sentence of the potter, thinking that he was going to lead his troops to attack, but after hearing the second sentence, he was a little confused.

How much can you understand when you open the city gates...... What's it like to prepare a wine feast? Have a picnic with Huaxiong?

Xu Chu was about to speak, but the potter said eagerly: "Don't say so much for now, I'll explain to you later...... Listen to me, open the gates of the city, prepare for the feast, and order the soldiers and horses to line up in the urn city, and wait for the battle. ”

Although Mi Fang didn't understand the meaning of the potter, the more time she got along with the potter, for some reason, the more Mi Fang trusted the potter in her heart.

I don't know when Mi Fang began to have a deep longing for the potter's eagerness, and it was the kind of blind longing that could be unconditional.

This is a very normal phenomenon, and the worship of brainless people is an inevitable law of social development.

………………

The west gate of Yangren City slowly opened in front of the Xiliang army, Hua Xiong couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the city gate open, and then his face turned pale, and said: "Suspend the siege of the city, let the cavalry take the lead." ”

The Xiliang army hurriedly made another dispatch.

But the city did not rush out of the soldiers and horses to confront his own side as Hua Xiong imagined, and the other party's city tower was still silent and silent, and there was not a single soldier flashing out of the empty city gate.

"Governor, look over there!"

On the top of the city tower, but seeing that the Xuzhou soldiers set up the table, one after another steaming hot food tripods were served to the city, a large urn of wine was also carried up with the food tripods, the potters sat in front of the table, sandwiching the steaming dishes in the tripod, in the city and under the city, the two armies were in full view...... Drink and dine at the same time.

On the plain far away from Yangren City, the eyes of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army widened.

This kid patronizes the food...... Isn't it a little too much to treat us as a dish?

Hua Xiong rode on the horse, looking at the situation on the castle tower in disbelief, and his heart was inexplicable.

"This ...... What's going on? Hua Xiong raised the war knife in his hand, pointed at the potters who were sitting and eating on the city tower, and said angrily: "Whose family is the one who eats in front of the two armies?" ”

Li Su squinted his eyes for a long time, and said slowly: "Dressed in white, without armor, young age...... It should be him, for Tao Qian's old immortal vassal and rebellious Tao family, what does it seem to be called, what kind of pottery merchant...... Or is it Tao Shang? ”

The corners of Hua Xiong's mouth twitched, and he made a "tsk" sound: "This governor doesn't care if he is on or down, he dares to cook in front of him, this vertical is still the first!" If you don't eat him alive today, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in the heart of Bendu!! ”
