The night after the meeting, Yuan Xi rode the four phases and flew to Liyang.

After checking on both sides of the Yellow River, he was relieved that he did not find that Cao's army was coming. Early the next morning, Gao Ran arrived in Liyang and took over Liyang's garrison before he returned to Yecheng.

Early February.

The snow melted.

The weather is getting warmer.

The 50,000 Youzhou troops transferred from Liaodong arrived in Yecheng.

The injuries of the mammoth and the giant ape were also noticeably better.

"Cao Cao didn't attack my Liyang, could it be that we made a mistake in judgment. In the name of the Son of Heaven, he enshrined the lord as a hussar general and the marquis of Yecheng, did he really want to make friends with the lord and turn the war into a jade silk? Frustrated, he came to the study and expressed his doubts.

"Hehe... Do you believe it, sir? Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

"I don't believe it, it's just..."

The look of anxiety and worry on his face was frustrated.

Yuan Xi said: "Sir, don't worry, I'm sure Cao Cao will make a move." I have ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead 50,000 Youzhou troops and 50,000 Jizhou troops to camp in the south of Wei County. Waiting for the news of Cao's attack.... ”

"Report..."

A guard ran into the study and presented a bamboo slip: "My lord, Liyang is urgent!" ”

"Look.... Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Yuan Xi picked up the bamboo slips and looked through them.

Frustration also came over.

"What?!"

Yuan Xi saw half of it and stood up suddenly.

"What's the matter, lord? Did the Cao army invade? Frustrated asked anxiously.

Yuan Xi had a look of surprise on his face: "It's Gao Ran's defeat..." ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Xi finished reading the contents of the bamboo slip and said: "Yesterday evening, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao led 30,000 cavalry and raided Liyang. Gao Ran transferred all his troops to the south, but he never thought about it.... Five thousand enemy troops appeared in the north and broke through the city in one fell swoop. ”

"This..." Frustrated Zhu held the bamboo slip, his hands trembling slightly.

"Mr. Fu?"

Yuan Xi saw the strange appearance of Fu Zhu, hurriedly helped him sit down, and said, "Mr. Fu, you are also well-informed, why are you so out of shape?" Isn't it just 200,000 Cao Jun, why be afraid? ”

"The lord has such a big breath." Frustrated: "After the defeat of Gao Ran, our forces were sharply reduced, and Cao Cao took a great victory and attacked Jizhou. If Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang make a comeback, then.... ”

"This time it's more dangerous than the battle of Guandu."

"Mr. Fu, don't spread the news of Gao Lan's defeat, I'm afraid of the officials in Yecheng, and I'm afraid. If there is a second Xu You, then we are really passive. Yuan Xi said.

"It's nature." Fu Zhu patted his chest and promised, and then said: "Dare to ask the lord, when will the army be dispatched?" ”

"Immediately send troops!"

Yuan Xi never paid attention to the ceremonies and pomp of sending troops, nor did he need to ask the opinions of the strategists, since he had decided to fight Cao Cao, he would not have any hesitation.

.......................

Liyang.

Castle Guard.

Cao Cao led his army to Liyang and joined Xu Huang and Zhang Liao.

"Gongming, Wenyuan, you guys really surprised me a little..." Entering the living room, Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Why is the prime minister surprised?" Xu Huang asked.

Zhang Liao didn't understand either.

"Do you know about filial piety?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia on the side.

Guo Jia replied: "The prime minister didn't expect that the garrison of Liyang was a group of rabble. I didn't expect that Xu Huang and Zhang Liao's 30,000 steps would break the city overnight. It's to be surprised. ”

"That's right!"

Cao Cao laughed and said: "I haven't figured out until now that the garrison of Liyang is composed of local troops from Wei County, Qinghe County, and Julu County, with poor equipment and weak combat effectiveness. Although it occupies a dangerous place, it is difficult to achieve great things. I originally thought that I would wait for Xu Huang and Zhang Liao to attack overnight, and then try to break the city the next day, hahaha, I didn't expect it.... ”

Xu Huang clenched his fists and said, "Prime Minister, this is thanks to Li Tong, the Taishou of Hanoi County. When we were fighting fiercely with Gao Ran, he personally led 5,000 elites to raid the northern city, and caught Gao Ran off guard. Without Li Tong, it would be difficult for us to break through the city. ”

"Where is General Li Tong?" Cao Cao raised his head.

"The end will be."

A man with a tiger's back stood up.

Cao Cao said: "I read your work of breaking the city, not only to report the Son of Heaven, but also to seal you as the history of Yangzhou Thorn." ”

"Prime Minister Xie."

Li Tong was grateful.

Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and said: "In this Northern Expedition, no matter who has made meritorious contributions, they will be rewarded. But whoever can kill an enemy soldier will be rewarded with two catties of cooked meat and a jar of fine wine. Whoever kills two enemy soldiers will be promoted by one level. Whoever kills five enemy soldiers will be rewarded with 5,000 dollars and promoted to lieutenant. If anyone can capture Yuan Xi, I will play the Son of Heaven and give him the title of marquis. ”

"Oooh oh..."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, the generals present went crazy.

One by one, their eyes were red, and they couldn't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy immediately.

"When is the prime minister going to use troops?" General Cao Ren asked.

"Do you need to ask? My 200,000 troops, crossing the Yellow River in the north and attacking Jizhou, are expensive in a strange word! At this moment, Yuan Xi did not know that Liyang had fallen, and if he neglected to take precautions, he would definitely fail. Pass my order to hand over the defense of Liyang to the Taishou of Dongjun. Our army immediately pulled out of camp and headed for Yecheng. We have to go all out and take down Yuan Xi. Cao Cao said.

"No..."

The generals were in high spirits.

.........................

Just as Cao Cao's army left Liyang and rushed to Yecheng.

Yuan Xi also rushed to the southern part of Wei County to join Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Night.

Yuan Xi stood in front of the tent and looked in the direction of Liyang.

The breeze blows, and there is a hint of coolness.

Rattle...

Suddenly, a strange cry came and alarmed the guards guarding the tent: "What is that?" ”

"Don't panic."

Yuan Xi calmed the guards and ran towards the rear camp.

The long-disappeared Fengshen Pterodactyl finally reappeared and landed on the head of the King Kong giant ape.

Roar!

The Vajra Giant Ape's injuries had healed, and he reached out to grab it in anger. The Anemo pterosaur easily dodged its attacks. Seeing Yuan Xi's figure, it flew over quickly: "Master." ”

"Hahaha..."

Yuan Xi observed the Fengshen Pterodactyl up close, and couldn't help but be ecstatic. He found that the wings of the Aeolian pterosaur had spread out and had exceeded three meters. The claws are also particularly sharp.

"Master, I've arranged for those bats. They infiltrated Qingzhou and Bingzhou.... ”

"Fluent in speech, too?"

Yuan Xi was even more happy, grinned, reached out and touched its head, and said, "Okay, this time I want Cao Cao to see what the Air Force is." I let him come and go! ”

After a burst of ecstasy...

Yuan Xi returned to the camp with the Wind God Pterodactyl: "Tell me how those bats are doing." I spent 15,000 beast crystals to get it, don't really waste it. ”

"Yes."

Fengshen Pterodactyl told Yuan Xi what had happened in the past few months.

ps: I have a hunch that the second PK is coming. From now on, save your manuscript and prepare for the outbreak.
