Cao Xiu was silent, for the sake of the way of the handsome, he should give up, and there was no need to hesitate.

The cavalry is in the field, and fighting the offensive and defensive battles with the second lieutenant army is to seek death.

So there was no silence.

Cao Chun is the same, he is not a teenager, but has grown up with Cao Cao all the way from the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Now 24 years old, he is a young cadre, and he has his own ideas and ideas.

After listening to Chen Deng's words, he thought for a while and said: "Okay, according to what Mr. Yuanlong said, let's go to Langya County, and we will turn Xuzhou upside down." ”

The three thousand tigers and leopards rode under the leadership of the three young generals of the Cao family and rolled towards the southeast.

crossed the heavy trails of Beimeng Mountain, did not go south to Rao Fei Country, and directly entered Langya County.

I thought that Dongguan City would be defenseless, but this time they were blocked.

Dongguan City, which is separated by a river, is heavily guarded, and all the boats at the river ferry have been taken away.

Unable to cross the river and unable to cross the east bank, Chen Deng and Cao Chun had to go south to fight Dong'an City.

However, it has also been notified and reminded that although there are no designated men and horses in the city to take over the defense, the county lieutenant and the county commander who defend the city are strictly under martial law.

Chen Deng and the others made a feint and found that the resistance was fierce, so they led their troops south again.

"Mr. Yuanlong, Andong City is still vigilant, it seems that Yangdu is afraid that it will not be easy to fight, should we change our strategy, otherwise we will have to spare Taishan County when we arrive in Kaiyang." Cao Xiu proposed:

"It's better for us to cross the river to the east bank and wait for an opportunity to attack other cities, or suddenly go north, Dongguan and other cities think that we are going south, and they must relax their vigilance, saying that no fighters will appear."

Chen Deng thought for a while and said: "What Wen Lie said is indeed a method, but I have an idea of dividing the troops, do you think we will split a team carrying a big banner and blatantly and aggressively attack Kaiyang in the south, how will the cities of Langya County react?" ”

"Wonderful! Mr. Yuanlong's plan is very clever, with a disguise as the main force to attract the attention of the Xuzhou army, paralyzing the cities and counties in the north, and waiting for them to relax and wait for an opportunity to make a move, they will be able to succeed in one fell swoop. Cao Zhen clapped his hands and exclaimed.

Cao Zhen's real name is Qin Zhen, the word Zidan, and he is the adopted son of Cao Cao.

is also a wise and brave general, and directly asked: "Give me 800 soldiers Zihe, and I will attract the attention of the Xuzhou army." You are waiting for the opportunity to break through, it is best to wait until the Qingzhou Army is going south to attack, and it is a great achievement to attack and kill the Qingzhou Army. ”

Cao Chun glanced at Cao Xiu and Chen Deng, and seeing that both of them had no opinions, he reached out and patted Cao Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Be careful, don't come hard!" ”

"Whoa!" Cao Zhen commanded.

Then Cao Zhen led the tiger and leopard to ride 800 followers, carrying the banner of the main force of the tiger and leopard to the south.

When he attacked Kaiyang, Xiao Jian, the Langya Xiang of the frightened bird, closed the city gate, stationed troops in the city, and did not dare to explore outside, so he didn't know the true situation of Cao Zhen at all.

Xiao Jian closed the city on the one hand, and sent someone to report to Tao Qian and ask for support.

Not to mention Cao Zhen's southward journey, Chen Deng, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and others led the army to quietly cross the river, and then hid the traces of the banner, and constantly sent a small number of scouts to reconnoiter the cities.

None of them were harvested.

Whether it is Dongguan City or Yingxian County, they all stick to the closed city, there is no intention of relaxing, and the fighter has not been found.

Just when they were about to give up attacking the north and go south to fight Tan County, the news of Beihai's troops came.

The news that Xi Zhicai led an army of 30,000 to the south made them hesitate a little.

"Mr. Yuanlong, do you want to fight? Although this Qingzhou army has a large number of people, it is not a regular field army. It is not at all a grade with a numbered lieutenant army. Cao Chun asked.

Cao Chun really wanted to make a move, although there were only more than 2,000 horsemen on the other side, but the other party was a miscellaneous army, the county soldiers and the militia, to put it bluntly, it was a strong people.

A large group of Wu Yang seems to be huge in number, but they are vulnerable in front of the cavalry, as long as they are scattered, they will be unscrupulously trampled and slashed.

It's a great opportunity to make a name for yourself.

2,000 to 30,000, you have to gnaw away his 10,000 or 20,000 battle damage.

"Mr. Yuanlong, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you won't have it, take advantage of their carelessness, just kill or capture Xi Zhicai, it's a big loss to Weihaihou." Cao Xiu also felt that there was no risk.

This vote is big and must be done.

If we can't beat us, the cavalry can run, so what's the hesitation.

Chen Deng thought about it for a while and finally made up his mind: "Okay, as you said, the army led by Xi Zhicai is a miscellaneous army cobbled together from all over the country, if it is brought out to fight alone, it still has a strong strength, but when it is put together, it is difficult to unify the command, especially when facing a sudden attack, it is indeed impossible to miss this opportunity." ”

Xi Zhicai has never led the army to fight, and has always been in charge of logistics and government affairs under Xu Ding.

So Chen Dengzhi didn't pay attention to it.

And as Cao Xiu said, if he can win Xi Zhicai, this will be cutting off Xu Ding's arm and making him pay a lot of price.

It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers.

The opportunity is fleeting.

It's hard to wait if you run.

…………

"Report! The horses are handsome, and the Cao army tiger and leopard rode south to attack the city of Yang. ”

As soon as the front rode back, Ma Teng pinched his gray beard and said to Xi Zhicai: "If Kaiyang is attacked, Tan County is dangerous, but we have been on guard for a long time, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for Cao Jun to defeat Kaiyang, so unless they want to hit Tan County, they will retreat to the south of Mount Tai."

I would like them to retreat north to the south of Tarzan, and then fight with us. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The tiger and leopard cavalry has not stopped since they entered Langya, which shows that their strategy and tactics are quite obvious and clear, that is, to use the guerrilla advantage of the cavalry to find fighters, to destroy the living force of our army, and to engage in sabotage, so I guess they will not enter the south of Mount Tai, let alone fight with us."

The commander of the other side is an extremely smart person, he will not do this kind of self-blocking dead end, I think they will also cause sabotage in Langya County, waiting for the opportunity to find fighters, we should be cautious, pull the net south, don't let the tiger and leopard ride behind us. ”

Ma Teng thought for a while and said: "I agree with your analysis of the old play, okay, anyway, we are not in a hurry to fight with them, take our time, comb through Langya County first, and drive them to the south of Taishan County, and strangle them in the siege." ”

It will take time to train and run in these tens of thousands of people, so Ma Teng still chooses to believe in Xi Zhicai's judgment.

A day and a half later, the army advanced south in the direction of the Sun, and suddenly a cavalry force was killed on the left flank.

Black robes and armor, black battle flags hunt in the wind.

Even the weapons are generally black, and the horses are mainly black and brown.

"Report! I found a tiger and leopard riding ahead, less than two miles away from me! ”

There is no need to talk about the light cavalry, Xi Zhicai, Ma Teng and others saw the iron horses rolling from the flanks.

It was really a bit of a surprise, but I didn't expect the tiger and leopard rider to hide in the hinterland of Langya County, and they had already crossed the Yishui.

I actually changed the object of the sneak attack to myself.

It's pretty bold.

However, Xi Zhicai and Ma Teng also showed joy.

The tiger and leopard rode themselves to the door, and they had a lot of effort left to find it.

"General Ma, you come and arrange the troops, I will go to the back to suppress the formation for you to stabilize the army, the generals are now dispatched by you, but there are those who do not follow the military law!" Xi Zhicai hugged his fist to Ma Teng, and his expression and eyes were full of trust and solemnity.

Ma Teng also hugged his fists and said: "Okay, the old drama is handed over to me, and I won't disappoint your Qingzhou Army." ”
