Chapter 744: A Temporary Truce

Cao Cao took the city of Ganling in Qinghe, but to be honest, he really didn't feel anything happy about it.

First, his friend who has been friends for decades, Yuan Benchu, died of illness, and this matter has to be said, which makes Cao Cao feel a lot of emotion. His first brother is only a few years older than him, but he went by himself first, and he is also embarrassed. So even though Cao Cao is now sitting in the mansion where his original brother was, his mood is still not very high, and he is very low.

Second, that is, he was with the Liangzhou Army before, because he was oppressed by the Liangzhou Army with power, so he had to compromise with the Liangzhou Army. But today, the Liangzhou army has withdrawn, and there is no shadow of Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin army. Of course, Cao Cao didn't think Ma Chao's words were fake, but he was really worried too much, he didn't even see the shadow of the Black Mountain Army before, and he didn't come yet, so he compromised with others, which is too inferior.

So Cao Cao is also reflecting on himself, and he is really not doing very well now. If you were still young, then you would never compromise like you do now. But it was the beginning, and now it is now, and I have changed a lot, is it really what the world says, "The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are?" Cao Cao thinks it really makes sense, but ......-

Ma Chao led his troops to retreat to the northwest and retreated from Qinghe to Anping. And halfway through, he met Zhang Yan and his Montenegrin army, who came to support.

It wasn't the first time Zhang Yan and Ma Chao had met, so they naturally recognized each other at once, "Lord, is it too late for your subordinates?" ”

Ma Chao heard that it was Ha Lu Ha Da Lang laughing. "Hahaha! It's actually not too late, but the war on Qinghe's side is over! ”

When Zhang Yan heard it, isn't it still too late, but looking at the lord, he didn't blame himself, which was good.

Ma Chao simply told Zhang Yan about Ganling City, and Zhang Yan was also quite emotional when he heard it. Anyway, Yuan Shao is in the world, and he is also the number one person. The imperial court's general. Once the first overlord of the four northern states, the most powerful and largest prince in the world, but now he has died in Ganling City, but unfortunately, a generation of powerful figures died of illness like this.

Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao. Although there is no deep hatred, there is no friendship. So I heard that Yuan Shao was dead. It's just a few sighs, and nothing else. And Yuan Shao's death has added a lot of chaos to the situation in the north, that's for sure. And when others are alive, they can't resist the attack of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, so it is even more impossible to block it at this time. Ma Chao believes that after Qingzhou, Youzhou will soon fall into Cao Cao's hands if there is no accident-

Ma Chao was about to enter the Anping Land Realm. He left Hao Zhao and 5,000 men and horses to guard the northwest of the Qing River. The reason why Hao Zhao was allowed to stay was indeed the task given to him by Ma Chao. After all, this is the first and only one, which is shared with Cao Cao's Yanzhou army in the county of Jizhou. So in the future, whether he Cao Mengde wants to attack him, or he wants to attack him Cao Mengde, the war on Qinghe's side will definitely be indispensable, so it's right to leave Hao Zhao and Hao Bodao.

And Ma Chao took Zhang Yan and them back to Anping, just when Ma Chao led the troops back to Anping, in Lecheng City between the rivers, Cao Ren had been fighting with the Jizhou soldiers in the city for several days under the city, but he had never been able to get the Jizhou soldiers in Lecheng.

Hejian County, Jizhou, Zhang He's hometown, he is a native of Hejian County, and now in Hejian County, Zhang He's mansion is still there, and there are people taking care of it there. However, although Zhang He is from Hejian, he has no way to deal with Le Chengcheng, which is attacking on a large scale.

Le Cheng's guard is Xin Ping, and Xin Ping is definitely a diehard, so even if Zhang He knows him, Guo Huai also knows him, but he definitely doesn't want to convince him. And he is not a simple scribe, he is not much better than a general, and even more powerful than a general. Judging from the fact that he commanded the Jizhou soldiers to kill the enemy at the head of Lecheng City, his people are definitely much more powerful than ordinary generals-

Just when Cao Ren was at a loss, the soldiers came to report that General Li Dian of Anping was coming. When Cao Ren heard this, his heart was finished, and Anping lost it. Yes, do you still need to ask, he Li Dian is stationed in Xindu in Anping, if there is nothing serious, he can come to the river in person? And what can make him come here, it can only be that Anping has lost, so he has to come here.

Sure enough, Cao Ren came out of the account to see that Li Dian was embarrassed, and he was defeated with the remnants of the army.

After inviting him into the big tent, Cao Ren asked, "Mancheng, what's the situation?" ”

Cao Ren is not an impatient, but to be honest, he has not been able to break Le Cheng for a few days, and now that he sees Li Dian like this, Anping has lost it again, so he is also a little impatient and irritable, no way, this is all human nature.

"Dashuai, there is a negative Dashuai under the trust, Anping, lost!"

Cao Ren sighed, "Alas! How the letter is lost, and the future is detailed! ”

"No! Just after the marshal left with his troops, one day, the Liangzhou army ......"

Li Dian naturally had nothing to hide from Cao Ren, so he told Cao Ren about the war in Anping-

Cao Ren listened carefully to what Li Dian said, and after listening to what he said, Cao Ren understood the cause and effect.

Then he said to Li Dian: "Man Cheng, in fact, this matter is not entirely yours. In fact, the situation at that time was that it was me Cao Zixiao, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to be spared, so you don't have to blame yourself. But although it is excusable that the letter is lost, you must not be punished, so go and get twenty military sticks! ”

"Thank you, Dashuai!"

Li Dian knew in his heart that Cao Ren was giving himself a lot of face. Although it is true that he is excusable, who knew that the Liangzhou army of Lu Dao had a way to directly raid the city in the middle of the night and ascended to the top of the city. But Cao Ren's punishment for himself is indeed relatively light, and this is indeed a release of himself. So it's all a favor, and you have to pay it back to others if you find an opportunity.

After talking about the punishment of Li Dian, Cao Ren kept frowning. And Li Dian asked at this time: "Dashuai, is this worried about the war?" ”

Cao Ren nodded when he heard this, "Don't hide it, Mancheng, now our army is fighting in Lecheng, and you said that the Liangzhou army is attacking the city sharply, so I have to worry about it!" ”

Li Dian smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, the commander doesn't have to worry, although the Liangzhou Army has a good weapon, it will definitely not work every time." In this regard, I believe that as long as the guards are strengthened and more careful, they will definitely be able to prevent the Liangzhou army! ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he smiled and nodded, "But now Lecheng's war ......"

Li Dian said: "Marshal, the so-called 'there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain', why don't you marshal let our army stop fighting for a few days, rest the army in these days, and then make plans?" ”

Cao Ren said: "That's fine, let's settle this matter!" ”

Regarding the matter of resting and recuperating, Cao Ren did not convene the generals to discuss. In fact, he can make a decision on this matter alone, and in fact, he also knows the Tao, and everyone has long thought about it, but he just didn't tell himself. But now that Li Dian has brought it up first, then he just happens to push the boat down the river, and I'll talk about the rest in a few days-

Cao Ren asked the soldiers to order the whole army to stop fighting and recuperate, and after the generals listened, they really had no opinions. In fact, just like Cao Ren thought, they also wanted to advise Cao Ren to do this, but no one said anything all the time. is still Li Dian from Anping, he is ahead of everyone.

To say that Xin Ping does have some ideas, he saw that Cao Ren was temporarily truce and did not attack the city, he naturally would not let go of the Yanzhou army so easily, so he thought of an idea, that is, to let the Jizhou soldiers at the head of the city shout and scold at the head of the city every day.

Anyway, you can scold whatever is ugly, and say whatever you are relieved. This can make the Yanzhou army angry, although the distance is not close, but there are many people shouting on the head of the city that can't stand Lecheng. Therefore, when the Jizhou sergeant shouted, the Yanzhou sergeant was not inaudible, so most of the people naturally listened, but his own commander did not allow him to attack, so it affected the sergeant at once, and the morale of the Yanzhou army fell a lot-

Regarding the insults of the Jizhou soldiers in Lecheng City, although Cao Ren didn't feel anything, he also knew that his own soldiers had been greatly affected. I usually know that Lu Dao is scolding under the city and outside the city, but it is the first time I have encountered the guards at the head of the city scolding the battle, and it seems that I am really happy to attack the city.
