Cao Cao saw that Chen Jiao finished reading the military report, sighed, and said: "Hey, you are a little late, most of my 100,000 troops have returned to Yanzhou to resist Yuan Shao, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are also scattered in the counties to pacify the chaos of all parties. In your opinion, how many soldiers and horses do you need to repel the enemy army and protect Guangling? ”

Chen Jiao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Cao Cao's words, but he also knew that this should be the truth, Cao Cao was a hero in troubled times, since he had decided to rescue Guangling County, he would not deceive himself on these details.

Chen Jiao lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "Yuan Yao will not really help Jiangdong to attack my Guangling, as long as the prime minister's army arrives, even if there is only one soldier, one soldier and one flag, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to retreat, so Yuan Yao's troops and horses are not worried, the prime minister only needs to help me Guangling defeat Sun Quan." ”

"The art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers are not many but fine! The soldiers and horses under the command of the prime minister are all invincible elites who have dominated the world for many years, and they have just defeated Liu Bei's 100,000 army. The Jiangdong soldiers and horses are the opposite, although their soldiers are not bad, but their army has been demoralized after two consecutive defeats, the army is unstable, ten percent of the combat power can only play half at most, as long as the prime minister's army arrives, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses will be frightened and collapse without a fight! ”

"There is no need for the prime minister to send a large army to this trip, as long as there is a general, several generals and two thousand elite cavalry to help, the lower officials can defeat Sun Quan and protect Guangling County!"

Cao Cao didn't expect Chen Jiao to only need two thousand fine horses, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart and said, "Is this true? ”

Chen Jiao replied loudly: "If you get the help of the prime minister, I will definitely win this battle in Guangling!" ”

Cao Cao saw that Chen Jiao was full of confidence, nodded and replied: "Okay, since this is the case, then I will order the general Xu Huang to lead two thousand elite horsemen to Guangling County with you!" ”

Chen Jiao bowed his hand and said: "There is still one thing in Xiaguan that I hope Ming Gong will accept, I have been in the Guangling Army for many years, and I am familiar with the geographical situation of Guangling County and the situation of Jiangdong soldiers and horses, I hope that Ming Gong can make General Xu and his elite cavalry obey my dispatch!" ”

Cao Cao also had the heart to investigate Chen Jiao, and said: "But, I should do this matter, Xu Huang will definitely obey your dispatch along the way!" ”

……

Cao Cao found Xu Huang and secretly instructed him, and then asked him to lead two thousand elite horsemen to follow Chen Jiao to rescue Guangling County, Chen Jiao was anxious, and there was nothing to do with it, after Xu Huang ordered the soldiers and horses, Chen Jiao and others went straight to Sheyang City in Guangling County day and night.

Xu Huang's army traveled all the way for more than two days, and finally reached the vicinity of Sheyang on the third day, when it was close to the chieftain's hour, Chen Jiao asked Xu Huang to station the army in a secret place, and he himself went to the vicinity of Sheyang with Xu Huang to observe the enemy's situation.

Just when Chen Jiao and Xu Huang were heading to Sheyang City, they suddenly saw a team of people and horses sneakily piling up firewood and grass in front, which were piled up every ten steps, in vertical and horizontal rows, and arranged very neatly.

Chen Jiao and Xu Huang felt that there was something different, and hurriedly lurked forward to check the situation, Chen Jiao came to the vicinity of this team of people, and his heart was suddenly happy, only to see that the leader of this team of people was none other than his brother Chen Yu!

Chen Jiao explained some of Chen Yu's identity to Xu Huang, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother, you are not guarding the city in Sheyang, why did you come here?" ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly a few times and said: "Although Yuanlong defeated the Jiangdong soldiers and horses twice, Sun Quan had the support of the entire Jiangdong behind him, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses were defeated and did not retreat, Sun Ce transferred thousands of reinforcements to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan led 20,000 soldiers and horses to continue to storm Sheyang City. After Sun Quan experienced defeat, he ordered Huang Gai to attack the city for his command, Jiangdong soldiers and horses were not afraid of life and death to attack the city day and night, and after a few days, the defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties and were almost unable to hold on. Yuan Long thought about it, and finally came up with a strategy to break the enemy, planning to raise fire here from far and near, and pretending to be the arrival of reinforcements! At that time, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses will definitely be in turmoil, and Yuanlong will take advantage of the chaos to attack the Jiangdong army camp and defeat the Jiangdong army in one fell swoop! ”

As soon as Chen Yu's voice fell, before Chen Jiao could speak, he heard Xu Huang praise loudly: "Okay!" What a subtle strategy, Chen Taishou is very human, no wonder he was able to defeat the Jiangdong soldiers and horses twice, it seems that this time even if there is no me to lead the army to help, your family will definitely be able to defeat the Jiangdong soldiers and horses to solve the crisis of Guangling! ”

When Chen Yu heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Ji Bi (Chen Jiao's character), I don't know who this person is?" ”

Chen Jiao replied with a smile: "Brother, this is the famous Hedong Xu Huang Xu Gongming, a general under the command of the Prime Minister!" ”

When Chen Yu heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said: "I met General Xu below, I didn't know the hero before, please don't blame the general!" ”

Xu Huang laughed a few times and said, "Hahahaha, what kind of hero am I, but I am attached to the prime minister and have made some military exploits." Chen Yuanlong defeated the Jiangdong army twice as a scribe, and now he has come up with such a clever strategy to break the enemy, this is the real hero. ”

Although Xu Huang blows Chen Yuanlong, not Chen Jiao and Chen Yu, but Chen Deng is the hope of Guangling Chen, Xu Huang blows Chen Deng, which makes Chen Jiao and the two even more happy.

Chen Jiao and Chen Yu both laughed when they heard Xu Huang give face like this, Chen Yu laughed, and then said: "Now the reinforcements that my brother is asking for, with the bravery of General Xu and the elite of the Prime Minister's soldiers and horses, our army will win this battle!" I don't have to get these pyres anymore, in my brother's opinion, when will we attack the Jiangdong Army camp? ”

Chen Jiao chuckled lightly and said: "Otherwise, these firewood piles will continue to be piled up, and the more the better, General Xu only brought two thousand elite horsemen to come, and use these firewood piles to raise fire, which can strengthen the momentum of the soldiers and horses, and then the Jiangdong soldiers and horses will be terrified!" As for when to attack the Cao army camp, let's attack the Jiangdong army camp tonight according to Yuanlong's strategy. General Xu and I were about to go to investigate the situation of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, but I don't know what the battle situation is now? ”

Chen Yu replied: "Our army has suffered heavy casualties, Jiangdong soldiers and horses are not having a good time, Sheyang City is strong, our soldiers use their lives, Jiangdong Army has been attacking the city for several days, and the morale of the army has fallen to the extreme, as long as you see the Prime Minister's reinforcements, the Jiangdong Army will definitely collapse without a fight!" ”

Chen Jiao pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, the matter of piling up firewood will be handed over to me, and you go back to the city to inform Yuanlong that tonight, the two armies will attack the Jiangdong Army camp at night, and this battle will completely defeat the Jiangdong Army and recover Guangling City, so that Sun Ce will not dare to underestimate my Guangling land!! ”。

"Then I'll bother my brother, I'll look for an opportunity to go back to the city!"
