"Thank you, General, thank you, General. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When the woman saw that Zhang Liao had saved her child, she carefully bandaged her wounds and kowtowed to the ground in gratitude.

Zhang Liao picked her up and handed the child to her: "Sister-in-law, is there anyone else at home?" ”

The woman cried out in grief: "No, they are all killed, they are all killed by the rebels." ”

Zhang Liao was silent and sighed: "It's difficult to make a living here, when the thieves are retreated, I will send someone to settle everyone in Donglai, distribute rice and grain, and help the women and children who have nothing to rely on, sister-in-law and wait here first." ”

The woman was stunned, and then she fell to the ground and cried again, crying silently: "General......"

At this time, a scribe rushed over from the courtyard next to him, also crying, and scolded: "Why did the general come so late for Tao Envoy's soldiers and horses?" We will be slaughtered, and we will have nowhere to live! ”

Zhang Liao didn't speak, Zhu Ping beside him said loudly: "We are not Xuzhou soldiers and horses, General Zhang is the imperial court appointed to conquer the east, Qingzhou Mu, originally stationed in Qingzhou, more than 800 miles away, I heard that Cao Bing slaughtered Xuzhou, received the news and took us day and night to rush over, kill the thieves, rescue the people, I didn't expect it to be late." ”

"Qingzhou Pastoral ...... It's not the Tao Envoy's soldiers. The scribe was stunned, then cried and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you Zhang Qingzhou for having mercy on the people of Xuzhou, and I hope that the general will fight all the thieves, and I am grateful to Xuzhou!" ”

Zhang Liao saw that he was very good at speaking and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The scribe said ashamedly: "The villain is Chen Li, the superintendent of the southern part of Xiapi, who went to Suiling to inspect and didn't want to encounter the rebels, but he hated not to kill the thief." ”

Zhang Liao nodded: "Chen Duyou, the thieves have been handed over to me, you are looking for the officials in the township and the young Zhuang to quickly search for the people who have survived, there is still war in this area, if you don't have a long way, you can go to Donglai County, Qingzhou, where it is quite stable." ”

"Thank you, General!" Chen Li bowed to the ground.

"Get on your horse, south!" Zhang Liao let out a low shout, jumped on his war horse with more than a dozen personal guards, and continued to the south.

After cleaning up the battlefield in this area, the raging Cao soldiers were either killed or frightened away, it was already dark, Zhang Liao settled the soldiers with dry food, and rested on the shore of the Fuling Lake, running around for days, and fighting without stopping, the soldiers were already sleepy.

It is not easy to use soldiers at night, but Zhang Liao still sent out scouts to investigate the situation of Cao soldiers everywhere, and if there were still people who slaughtered the city at night, he didn't mind slaughtering at night.

At the same time, he also hoped that Cao Bing, who fled today, could spread the news of his dispatch, so that those Cao soldiers who slaughtered would be afraid, collect the butcher's knife, and guard against themselves, or go back to Picheng to find Cao Cao, in short, if this massacre is over, he will achieve his goal.

That night, Xuzhou Don't drive Mi Zhu to lead 3,000 soldiers to meet Zhang Liao, accompanied by Chen Deng, the captain of the agricultural school, Chen Deng is a native of Huaipu in Xiapi, although it is separated from the place of Cao Bing's massacre hundreds of miles, but also afraid that Cao Bing will be slaughtered to other towns, after learning that Zhang Liao sent troops, he also went south with Mi Zhu to check the situation, as for Cao Bao, he heard the news of Zhang Liao's victory in the south, and was stimulated, and took 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Cao Cao in Picheng.

Mi Zhu and Chen Deng saw Zhang Liao's tired appearance and learned that they had traveled 800 miles day and night, and they were extremely grateful to Zhang Liao for coming to Xuzhou without hesitation, and thanked them again and again.

Zhang Liao naturally knew Chen Deng's name, and after talking to Chen Deng, he also knew that Chen Li, the postmaster of the southern part of Xiapi that he saw today, was actually Chen Deng's younger brother.

At this time, Zhang Liao had no time to bother to win over Chen Deng, he just asked Mi Zhu and Chen Deng not to participate in the war, but to gather officials and organize the evacuation and relocation of the suffering people in the three counties, so as not to cause greater casualties due to lack of treatment.

Mi Zhu and Chen Deng are not hot-blooded people, not to mention that Xuzhou has been defeated in successive battles before, they naturally know the gap between themselves and Cao Bing, and they do not force it, but they should be ordered by Zhang Liao to collect and evacuate the people.

……

In the area of Suiling in the south of Xiapi Kingdom, a news spread quickly among the Cao soldiers who were raging and slaughtering, and Qingzhou Mu Zhang Liao sent troops, leading thousands of cavalry companies to break several troops and horses, and had arrived in the north of Suiling.

There are still tens of thousands of Cao soldiers in the Suiling area, most of them are Qingzhou soldiers, and those Qingzhou soldiers learned from their own people who fled that Zhang Liao had slaughtered nearly 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers along the way, and they were all very angry, gathered together, and wanted to fight with Zhang Liao.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to fight with thousands of Qingzhou soldiers in the field of Suiling, and the Qingzhou soldiers were defeated, and under the pursuit of Zhang Liao, they began to flee to Peking University.

At the same time, the powerful troops in several counties also rushed out of the fort dock to chase after the Qingzhou soldiers who surrounded and killed the lone Qingzhou soldiers.

The area around Suiling has settled down, and the situation is much better than that of Xiaqiu and Worry.

……

Under Picheng, Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Li Gan and other generals below with a gloomy face, and generals such as Le Jin, Man Chong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Yu Ban, Ren Jun, and Shi Huan were all on the side.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Zhang Liao really sent troops? ”

"Exactly." Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said: "He brought about 5,000 cavalry, all of them are elite, we have never been prepared, the soldiers and horses are scattered, can not resist, and suffer heavy losses, I am afraid that there will not be tens of thousands, especially Qingzhou soldiers." ”

Bang!

Cao Cao slapped his palm on the desk, and rose up angrily: "I crusade against Tao Qian, he Zhang Liao'an dares to do so much!" When I Cao Cao, I can't be bullied! ”

At this time, another soldier came to report: "Xuzhou general Cao Bao led 10,000 people to capture Pi!" ”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xi Zhicai on the side, Xi Zhicai stroked his beard and said: "Now that Zhang Liao is in the south, Cao Bao came first, he must want to grab the merit, and the lord can concentrate his troops and horses to break Cao Bao first, and then defend Zhang Liao." ”

"The generals will act according to the plan, and I will see Cao Bao's head within an hour!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, he didn't take Cao Bao as a defeated general in his eyes at all, he paid more attention to Zhang Liao in his heart.

On the same day, Cao Bao, the general of Xuzhou, attacked Picheng, but was defeated by Cao Cao, and more than half of the thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, and they fled back to Tan County in panic.

After Cao Cao defeated Cao Bao, he quickly reorganized his troops and horses, collected the rout troops who fled back from the south, and reorganized them in Xiapi City.

Cao Cao also wanted to write a letter to talk about peace with Zhang Liao, after all, he had no hatred with Zhang Liao, and this time it was also a matter of Xuzhou, but seeing that the soldiers who fled back were all demoralized and frightened, he had to prepare to fight with Zhang Liao to boost morale, otherwise more than half of his soldiers would be abolished from then on.

Two days later, Zhang Liao led 5,000 cavalry to the southern border of Xiapi County, and Cao Cao's army was already in battle at this time.

Although tens of thousands of people were lost, Cao Cao still had 35,000 soldiers and horses, and he had a complete advantage in terms of troops, and there were many generals under his command, Lejin, Yu Ban, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Yuan were all first-class generals, Cao Hong, Shi Lian, and Cao Chun were not much different, and the rest of the full favor and Ren Jun were also good generals.

On the contrary, on Zhang Liao's side, the fierce generals are him, Dian Wei and Zang Ba.
