Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.

Yan Xing's march was very fast, after pulling out the camp, it took a day to rush to Zhongmu, but the current Zhongmu is almost an empty city, Ren Jun and other local heroes and strong banners clearly attached to Cao Cao of the Dong coalition army, as a result, Cao Cao and others were defeated in Bianshui, and the surnames of these subordinates were scattered, and they sought a way out.

Ren Jun still followed Cao Cao with all his heart, and followed Cao Cao to return to the sour dates. Fearing Dong Jun's retribution, some fled eastward, some crossed the river to take refuge in Hebei, and some fled into the woods and forests of the forts.

In these places, there are many private family members, slaves and tenants of powerful guests, and the migration team is not small, and many Zhongmu people are also worried that after the Xiliang soldiers chase and kill, they will harm the pond fish, and they also hurriedly follow these big surnames to flee, or drag their families and families to migrate to other counties and counties further east.

stayed, mostly ordinary Qianshou who didn't want to leave or couldn't go.

And after this large-scale flight caused by the defeat of Bianshui and collective panic, Zhongmu City has almost become an empty city.

As soon as Yan Xing's troops arrived, they took a city without bloodshed, but looking at the empty streets of the city, in order to prevent the remaining residents of the city from panicking even more, Yan Xing finally did not send the army into the city, but chose to camp outside the city.

The days passed like this, at the beginning, seeing that the Xiliang soldiers had regained Zhongmu City, and other Haoqiang surnames in the eastern border of Yindong, Henan Province who rode the wall to watch, did cause panic, many people under the guise of "welcoming the king from afar" and "rewarding the soldiers", sent the children of the clan to eat pot pulp, and sent grain, grass, wine and meat, wanting to get closer to this Xiliang soldier first, say hello, and by the way, also find out the purpose of the Xiliang soldiers' eastward advance, and take precautions, lest the military disaster suddenly arise and affect their swaying wall grass.

However, although this Xiliang army did not accept the goods and gifts on the gift list, they were vague and secretive about the purpose of sending troops, and the soldiers and horses stationed in Zhongmu did not take action to conquer the city.

This made the surname Haoqiang, who couldn't figure it out, panic for a while at first.

They thought that there must be a major and covert military operation among them, but as the days passed, their hearts that had been hanging were relaxed.

The Xiliang soldiers are just bluffing, and there are no other reinforcements coming at all, and the Xiliang soldiers stationed in Zhongmu have just a small number of troops to attack the county they are guarding, and it is too little, not to mention other military operations.

The cities in the east let down their guard, and on the Xingyang side, although they successively sent fast horses to send two military orders to urge the army and recover the lost territory, Yan Xing, who was out of Xu Rong's control, also took the opportunity to slow down the construction of siege equipment, and suppressed the two military orders to urge the army invisibly.

···

Among the Dong troops stationed in Zhongmu, Cao Yuan, Wei Xuan, and Meng Turan were also among them, and Xu Kun finally transferred the three of them to Yan Xing, and also let the three of them lead a group of soldiers from their department to come to help.

As for whether Xu Rong's eyeliner was secretly inserted in it, Yan Xing didn't mind and wasn't worried. The soldiers and horses are in their own hands, the military orders are like a mountain, and if they don't obey them, the initiative is in their own hands, and some of the young people have no other role than being able to pass on some information that Yan Xing deliberately wants others to see.

Because of the meritorious service of Hedong's expedition against Baibo, Cao Yuan was promoted to the rank of military candidate and led the soldiers of this song, while Wei Xuan served as his deputy, and even Meng Tu was promoted to the military position, mixed with the title of a hundred generals, and led a hundred light horsemen.

But for Meng Tu, after coming to Zhongmu, this kind of unclear and confused days are the most uncomfortable.

On this day, he took his cavalry and inspected the border line in his jurisdiction, but found nothing.

The confrontation between the east and the west, but not only did not even a single enemy scout on the border line, but even in the jurisdiction of Zhongmu, not a single living creature could not let him meet, and the ordinary people of Qianshou saw the continuous disasters of the soldiers, hiding, fleeing, and the rest of the people saw the notorious Xiliang soldiers from afar, and they were even more busy burrowing into the grass to hide.

This made Meng Tu, who was thinking about making contributions to the war, really feel depressed in his heart.

Led the troops back to his own camp, Meng Tu handed over the mount to the other cavalry under his command to take care of, and he trotted first, wanting to go to the military tent to find Cao Yuan and Wei Xuan.

Every day, he was training his soldiers endlessly, and he did not worry about the peaceful atmosphere in the army that was incompatible with the current situation.

As a result, Meng Tu did not find Cao Yuan and the two in the military tent, so he had to turn around and ask the soldiers outside the tent, and learned that Cao Yuan and the two were practicing soldiers on the school field, so he rushed to the school field in a hurry.

Running to the edge of the school field, Meng Tu opened his eyes and saw that although the training of the soldiers had ended, everyone retreated in columns. But Cao Yuan and Wei Xuan were still on the field, squatting in a no-man's corner, not knowing what they were discussing.

Meng Tu, who was running back and forth, was already covered in stinky sweat, but when he saw Cao Yuan and Wei Xuan, he was suddenly overjoyed, and strode over.

"Two brothers, I'm looking for you so hard, what are you doing, partnering to make clay figures?"

Facing the young and unserious Meng Tu, Cao Yuan's eyes closed slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips, while Wei Xuan had already reached out to make a shushing movement, and at the same time hurriedly used gestures to beckon Meng Tu to come over.

Seeing this, Meng Tu, who was very arrogant, knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly came over, only to see Cao Yuan draw a sketch on the ground, on which the place was indicated by a cross and a dot, and Wei Xuan pointed to a point, constantly talking about the current situation.

Meng Tu smacked his lips, listening to Wei Xuan's words, he suddenly interjected:

"If you want me to say, this Yan Duwei is also a coward, when I saw him outside Luoyang City last year, I saw his speech and demeanor, and he was quite arrogant, thinking that he was a brave person. How can it be on the battlefield, it has become a lost ground, and in this situation, we should continue the prestige of the great victory, take advantage of the situation to attack, and then drag on like this, the food at this celebration banquet will be cold! ”

This time, Cao Yuan finally raised his head and glared at Meng Tu, who had rashly interjected.

Although Meng Tu's words are just ordinary complaints, if they fall into the ears of those who have a heart, I am afraid that it will be a big storm immediately.

Even in your own camp, you can't be so unscrupulous.

Cao Yuan is older than Wei Xuan and Meng Tu, and he is known to be majestic on weekdays, Meng Tu was glared at by him like this, he immediately stopped his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and smiled after a while:

"I said the wrong thing again, brother, don't worry, I'll just talk about it in private, just talk about it."

"Yan Duwei's troops are small, and he has been involved in such a troublesome matter, but I am afraid that it is the time of irritability in my heart, you can just think about this kind of thing in your heart, how can you say it, is it because you think your head is big enough and want to be taken to sacrifice the flag."

Wei Xuan glanced at Meng Tu, and said with a lesson in his mouth, Meng Tu smiled, pretended to be surprised and touched his head, and was not angry, so he continued to listen to Cao Yuan and Wei Xuan.

"Brother, the current situation is quite grim, but the soldiers and horses in Captain Yan's camp are still holding their troops, I'm afraid that they really have other plans."

Wei Xuan pointed to the sketch on the ground with a dead branch, and kept pointing and saying, Cao Yuan also looked pensive when he heard this, and nodded occasionally.

Suddenly, Cao Yuan seemed to think of something, he turned his eyes to Meng Tu, who was squatting aside and quiet, and asked:

"Zichao, the day before yesterday, Lieutenant Du asked you to lead the cavalry to his camp to train cavalry and archery, what did you see?"

Hearing Cao Kite's question, Meng Tu scratched his head, his eyes rolled, as if he was recalling things, and after thinking for a while, he began to say:

"There are no battles these days, and everything in the lieutenant's camp is no different from the usual, uh-if there is, it is that the lieutenant's military tent is constantly being filled in and out, and it seems to be very busy, which is a little different from the current situation of no big or small war."

"Who are the people who are coming in and out?"

Hearing Meng Tu recall the unusual situation of Yan Xing's military tent, Cao Yuan's thick eyebrows were raised, and he immediately asked.

"I was only waiting in front of the tent, and I saw a few people, including the military officials in the captain's camp, and some I didn't know, and one of them was dusty and a little haggard, as if he had come from a long way, and as for anything else, I really can't think of it."

After listening to Meng Tu's words, Cao Yuan's eyes flickered, and then he turned back to the sketch on the ground, holding a small branch in his hand, looking at the place where Wei Xuan had pointed, his face was thoughtful, and he began to murmur in his mouth.

"Cavalry, drive a long way, loose on the outside and tight on the inside······"

Connecting these trivial clues, Cao Yuan's heart suddenly flashed a glimmer of inspiration, and under the excitement in his heart, the movements in his hands involuntarily increased a little, and the branch actually "clicked", broke into two, and the end that hit the ground bounced violently, rushing out like an arrow from the string, and Wei Xuan, who was squatting on the opposite side, was quick with his eyes, and hurriedly stretched out his wrist guard to block it, which was able to block the half of the branch that shot out.

Meng Tu hadn't completely withdrawn his attention from the memory, he was frightened by the broken branch that Cao Yuan bounced up, and almost jumped up, and when he came back to his senses, Cao Yuan had already discarded the remaining half of the branch in his hand, and suddenly stood up, his face solemn.
