Many people mistakenly thought that the army that led the troops to attack Runan County controlled by Cao's army this time still came from Jin Yun and Liu Ye, but only Li Tong didn't think so, since the last time outside Yang'an County, after a fierce confrontation with the enemy, he had already felt that the enemy's general was not Jin Yun, who he had several encounters with in the past.

After being exposed and trained by Jin Jue's side, Wei Yan in this time and space is not only good at field warfare, but also good at siege warfare, but this time, after he clashed with Li Tong, he has always chosen to stand still for two reasons.

The first convenience, the battle outside Yang'an County, in fact, Wei Yan only repelled Li Tong's troops, and did not completely defeat them.

Li Tong was able to calmly lead the remaining troops back to Yang'an County, which is a clear proof of this.

Where there is war, there are inevitably casualties. In the last battle, Wei Yan and Li Tong's armies fought too fiercely, which caused very large casualties to the soldiers of the two warring sides.

In Wei Yan's subordinates, the more than 2,000 elite soldiers under his command were all crossbowmen, and when they participated in group operations, they generally stood in the middle and rear of the Chinese army, so after the end of this small-scale field battle, after statistics, the number of casualties was almost zero.

The dead and wounded soldiers were all from Liu Ye's subordinates.

This was the first time these soldiers had fought with Wei Yan, and it was such a tragic battle.

Considering the morale of the army, Wei Yan had to postpone the decision to attack the city.

Next, Wei Yan had to concentrate the medical soldiers in the whole army and do their best to treat those wounded soldiers.

Fortunately, in order to save their own lives as much as possible in the war, the soldiers trained by Jin Jue have learned how to carry out battlefield first aid methods with Jin Jue among the more than 2,000 elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.

After being classified by professional medics, when facing some soldiers who have only suffered minor injuries, even if they have two knives, they can easily handle it. Not only that, but these veterans actually had the energy to deal with the wounded soldiers of the Cao Army who were left behind by Li Tong on the battlefield.

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that when Wei Yan, who had been repairing under Yang'an County for about a month, officially started the siege war, many Cao soldiers who were rescued from the battlefield by Jin Jue's army were braver than the veterans of the Yellow Turban Army who gave them a second life when they participated in the siege war.

Especially when the city gate of Yang'an County was successfully attacked by Wei Yan, and the two armies fell into street fighting, these troops who were familiar with the terrain in the city played a very large, or decisive, role.

At the same time, this was also the first time that Wei Yan and the enemy army had engaged in large-scale street battles inside the city, which showed that Li Tong's control over his subordinates and his personal will to fight were not comparable to the enemy troops that Jin Jue or Wei Yan had encountered in the past.

Of course, if Sun He, who was in Wuwei Village, had not been sniped by Wei Yan at the beginning, Wei Yan would also be likely to encounter more brutal street battles in that battle.

After all, Wuwei Village was a camp built specifically to defend against enemy attacks, while Yang'an County was just a slightly larger county seat.

The second reason why Wei Yan was stationed in Yang'an County for a month was a request from Liu Beijun.

Because at this time, Liu Beijun launched an attack on Taishan County.

Liu Beijun asked Wei Yan to postpone the attack on Yang'an County, just to use the strength of Wei Yan and Fu Gan to attract a part of the Cao army's troops, so as to reduce the Cao army reinforcements that Zhao Yunbu and Jinhou might encounter when attacking Taishan County.

Originally, Wei Yan did not intend to agree to Liu Bei's somewhat unreasonable request.

Through the battle in the field, Wei Yan's heart has already begun to be officially besieged by his opponent in the city. That's right, Wei Yan has now begun to see Li Tong as an opponent who has attracted his attention enough.

Before this battle, Wei Yan did underestimate Li Tong a little.

After leaving Yizhou's money, Jin Jue had repeatedly warned Wei Yan and asked him to be careful of Li Tong. However, after killing Sun He and Ling Cao and successfully repelling Sun Ce, Wei Yan was a little floating.

Let Wei Yan stop for half a month, he can take this opportunity to repair the army, and let the wounded soldiers in the army recover from their injuries in time. The medical soldiers who have been personally trained by Jin Jue are different, and the mortality rate of the recurrence of their injuries has been reduced to less than 10 percent for the wounded soldiers who have been treated by these medical soldiers.

This was already a very great step forward before Jin Jue succeeded in inventing antibiotics.

However, a month is indeed too long, and the so-called late will change, and Wei Yan was worried that Zhou Yu, the Taishou of Yuzhang County, who had disturbed Tai Shi Ci and recovered the entire Lujiang County, would suddenly send troops to attack the southern area of Runan County. Once Liu Ye, who stayed there, could not resist the offensive launched by Zhou Yu, it was equivalent to successfully forcing Wei Yan to retreat to rescue Liu Ye.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

However, in the end, Fu Gan, who learned of the incident, hurriedly sent someone to loosen a letter to Wei Yan, and after Wei Yan read the contents of the letter, he reluctantly agreed to Liu Bei's somewhat 'unreasonable' request!

Fu Gan wrote very clearly in the letter that Wei Yan stopped attacking Yang'an County for a month, which could not only relieve pressure on Liu Beijun's offensive in Taishan County, but also reduce pressure on Fu Tong's strategy in the northern part of Nanyang County.

In fact, it was precisely because Wei Yan had not stopped Li Tong from sending people out of the city to ask Cao Ren in Xu County for help, so until a month later, when Wei Yan raised troops to attack the county seat of Yang'an County, the Cao army had not been able to release the anomalies in the northern part of Nanyang County in time.

The reason why Cao Cao has not sent troops to rescue Li Tong, who is in danger, is that there is a shortage of food, and second, Cao Cao finally chose Taishan County between Runan County, which is only one county of Yang'an County, and the entire Taishan County.

In the final analysis, no matter how loyal Li Tong is to Cao Cao, he is just a small local warlord who has developed by his own ability, and Taishan County is too protective of Lu Qian, and Lu Qian is the official Taishou appointed by Cao Cao himself. And more importantly, if Cao Cao didn't try his best to save the Taishan thief Sun brothers who helped Cao Jun in the last battle as soon as possible, how would the remaining Taishan thieves think of him Cao Cao?

Also, unlike the dilapidated Runan County, the gains and losses of Taishan County are even related to the safety of the entire Yanzhou County.

If Liu Beijun takes Taishan County, the offensive and defensive forces of the two sides will be immediately transposed. Cao Cao wants to launch another attack on Xuzhou, can he ignore Taishan County?

Therefore, as soon as he got the news, Cao Cao, despite the fatigue of his repeated battles, personally led an army of 20,000 from Xu County, and quickly galloped to the aid of Lu Qian and the Sun brothers in Taishan County.
