Chapter 270: First Strike

Cao Xing led more than 10,000 men and horses directly eastward, and the first opponent he encountered was Zhang Hegaolan, Zhang Hegaolan saw Cao Xing coming with a large army and wanted to break through their blockade line, but the two of them naturally did nothing. Strictly guard against stubbornness, and resolutely do not let Cao Xing pass.

However, for these two people, Cao Xing smiled, and ignored it at all, since Zhang Hegaolan was already blocked on the road ahead, then Cao Xing did not take the road ahead, he chose to take a detour, directly bypassing Zhang Hegaolan's army, Zhang Hegaolan really couldn't figure out Cao Xing's intentions, but Cao Xing continued to go back, undoubtedly entering the territory of Jizhou, so no matter what, the two of them couldn't let Cao Xing pass, so Gao Lan directly led the soldiers and horses all the way and quickly pursued Cao Xing.

As a result, Gao Lan had just walked halfway to receive urgent information from Zhang He's side, saying that Xu Shu's army, which was confronting them, suddenly attacked, and directly led the army to attack Zhang He's military camp.

Gao Lan scolded when he received the news, but this seems to be a matter of no choice, the front line must not miss, otherwise they will be a complete failure this time.

Gao Lan could only give up the pursuit of Cao Xing, turned around and returned to Zhang He, and Cao Xing also quickly entered the territory of Jizhou. As soon as Cao Xuan entered the territory of Jizhou, there were scouts to report, and seven or eight forces appeared in front of him, and they were rapidly converging here at this moment.

When Cao Xing's soldiers heard that there were so many troops waiting for them in front, they were all a little stunned, and they were all rumored that Yuan Shao had already arranged for them, and they came to Jizhou, which was asking for their own death.

However, in the face of everyone's panic, Cao Xing took the lead in calming down, although Yuan Shao's momentum was quite huge, and he dispatched the Seventh and Eighth Route Army all of a sudden, which did cause a certain blow to them in morale, but calmly analyzed, if it was in peacetime with the richness of Jizhou, maybe Yuan Shao would really be able to dispatch the Seventh and Eighth Route Army, but then again, now Yuan Shao is fighting with Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan occupies a place in western Liaoning, and he is not a good man and woman, and he has been fighting with Karasuma in the north for many years. I have developed a temper.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan have been fighting for more than half a year, but they have not yet decided a winner at this moment, which is enough to show that Gongsun Chan is also a difficult master to deal with, so Cao Xuan immediately decided that this was definitely a strategy of Yuan Shaoshi.

In the face of this situation, Cao Xu also calmly analyzed, and planned to plan, since the 78th Route Army came to attack at the same time, then Cao Xuan first avoided the battle, and waited for the 78th Route Army to continue to show off their might outside their military camp, until a certain month of dark and windy night, Cao Xuan directly took Chen Hu and others out of the city to attack at night. For this seven-eight route army, Cao Xuan naturally can't finish it all at once, since it can't be finished at one time, then he will grab the army one by one and fight to the death.

As a result, that night, Cao Xing took Chen Hu and others to kill Yuan Shao's army, which was a retreat, and it could even be said that the whole army was annihilated, until dawn, Cao Sex ordered people to count the casualties, and then found that Yuan Shao's army added up to only more than 1,000 people.

That is to say, Yuan Shao's army of the Seven or Eight Routes is huge, but in fact there are only five or six thousand people. And most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the elite generals were pulled by Yuan Shao to the east to fight with Gongsun Zhan, which not only confirmed Cao Xing's conjecture, but also greatly restored morale, Cao Xing's soldiers were no longer afraid of Yuan Shao and others, and they all cheered up and frantically attacked Yuan Shao's territory.

Yuan Shao's 78th Route Army was vulnerable, and Zhang Hegao, who was behind Cao Xing, couldn't pull away at all because of Xu Shu's containment.

But Jizhou is a rich place after all, the soldiers are good enough to eat, even if most of them are old and weak soldiers, but there are still living troops, and those troops once again surrounded and intercepted Cao Xing. Cao Xing, who tried to persecute, had no way back.

The opponents Cao Xing encountered this time were indeed a little different, and Cao Xing's most intuitive feeling was that these troops were different from the ordinary Han army troops, and they seemed to be a little sensitive to the grasp of intelligence.

What's next for Cao Xing? They can all know in the fastest time, thinking of this, the words intelligence organization immediately popped up in Cao Xing's mind, in this world. As far as Cao Xing knows, he is not the only one who has an intelligence organization, just like Yuan Shao's Xu You, who also formed an intelligence organization.

Now that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan are fighting in full swing, Yuan Shao will definitely not let Xu Yu go with him, and will definitely take him with him. Therefore, it is only a small leader in the intelligence organization that is dealing with Cao Xing.

Although the other party has revealed its own intelligence organization, and encircled and intercepted Cao Xing, there are more than 18,000 people, and they want to encircle and suppress Cao Xing and others, but they want to completely exterminate Cao Xing, so how easy is it.

Whenever there is a war, Cao Xing directly ascends to the immortal clan, steps on the war horse, and orders his soldiers to charge, Cao Xing's cavalry is not only equipped with saddle stools, but even the weapons in his hands are also first-class sharp, plus Cao Xing's troops, it is a daily practice, just the combat effectiveness is much stronger than the average soldier.

One of the most important problems is that Cao Xing's establishment of the Ten Lords military industrial system has greatly encouraged everyone. Once there was a battle, Cao Xing's cavalry were all straddling on horseback, screaming, they looked at the enemy army opposite, not only did not have the slightest timidity, but also filled with a trace of desire to conquer. Looking at the round human heads of the enemy army, they are like seeing countless gold and silver treasures, if they take a human head back, their life trajectory will change, so each of them has a very strong desire to fight.

Therefore, the basic combat effectiveness is stronger than the average soldier's weapon, and it is also more advanced than others, plus the desire to fight is so strong, there is no reason to be invincible, Cao Xing's soldiers are like madmen every time they fight, as long as Cao Xing gives an order, they all pick up their own weapons and fight with the enemy army without their lives.

The final result was naturally to defeat Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses. And Cao Xing also asked Chen Hu and others to record the heads of each soldier one by one, and reward them for meritorious deeds after they go back, anyway, now Cao Xing's hands are rich and rich, and there is no shortage of food, what is lacking is only useful talents for governing the country and using soldiers, as long as it is a talent, it should naturally be rewarded.

However, Cao Xuan didn't do too much of a stay here, he just talked to these people for a week, Cao Xuan felt that he should go, Yuan Shao's more than 10,000 soldiers had been demoralized by him, and he didn't have to worry about the aftermath, because not far away, a group of soldiers rushed to hear the news, although this group of soldiers were wearing heavy armor, but they still couldn't hide that they were wearing yellow robes and yellow scarves on their heads, they were the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, led by two people, one was Zhang Yan, and the other was Pan Feng.

Cao Xuan and the two of them met in the battle, Zhang Yan and Pan Feng were both a little excited to see Cao Xing, and even Pan Feng almost knelt down to give Cao Xuan a big salute.

Zhang Yan will not forget that it was precisely because of Cao Xing's help that he saved the lives of millions of people in Montenegro, and now his people are not only living well, but even their combat effectiveness is gradually rising.

Pan Feng, on the other hand, was grateful to Cao Xing and finally fulfilled his wish, giving him the opportunity to avenge his original lord Han Fu.

And Cao Xing smiled, let people set up a good banquet, and entertained the two of them, these two people are actually Cao Xing's secret hands who have long been ambushed in Jizhou, Cao Xing at the beginning relied on the prophetic foresight in history, knowing that Yuan Shao would soon enter Jizhou, and Yuan Shao was quite difficult to deal with, so it was best to start first and find Zhang Yan in Jizhou.

But later, for various reasons, Pan Feng joined in, no matter what, because of the addition of Pan Feng's powerful combat power, the power of the Montenegrin environment has increased by a point, and Yuan Shao will have more headaches because of this, after all, this Pan Feng is indeed very strong, not as unbearable as in history, and now the martial arts on his body have reached the eightfold martial arts, Chen Hu is ashamed to see him, and even asked for advice again and again.

In the end, Cao Xuan patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said to the two, this matter of Jizhou will be handed over to the two of them for the time being, Cao Xuan has other things to do, and Zhang Yan and Pan Feng heard this, they both looked at each other, and then stood up and clasped their fists.

In the future, Zhang Yan and Pan Feng basically took people and followed behind Cao Xing, as long as there were still people in Jizhou who wanted to chase and intercept Cao Xing, they would be the vanguard, and those people might not even be able to pass this pass of Zhang Yan and Pan Feng, let alone attack Cao Xing, so Cao Xing was walking through at will in Bingzhou, after all, Yuan Shao couldn't take care of him at all now.

In this way, Cao Xing took his cavalry, first entered Changshan County, then entered Zhongshan County, and finally entered Anping County, anyway, Cao Xing didn't do anything else along the way, that is, widely spread eyeliner, as long as someone came to report, where was Yuan Shao's grain transportation team, Cao Xing definitely robbed it without saying a word.

Although the components of each robbery are relatively small, after all, Yuan Shao transports grain, and it is impossible to concentrate all the grain on a transport team, but in the long run, Yuan Shao has some unbearable conditions, after all, his war in front of him is changing rapidly, which is enough for him to be anxious, in case the food does not arrive on time one day, the soldiers can't eat enough, and they don't have the strength to fight, then he will not be even more anxious.

So over time, Yuan Shao also hated Cao Xing, but at this moment he didn't have a good way, after all, Gongsun Zan in front of him had already made him deeply trapped in the quagmire of war.
