92, Mu Poppy crosses the army to take Hedong (middle)

"This merit is still a general!"

Zhou Liang also said with a smile.

When Yan Xing heard this, he laughed, Yang Feng's capture of Fenyin City this time was indeed a peak and a loop, which was quite legendary.

Originally, Yang Feng led less than 1,000 troops, and wanted to sneak attack Fenyin from the south of the Pi family, and obtain the main road of Hejin to cross the river for Yan Xing's army.

Although Yang Feng killed two groups of county soldiers patrolling the river defense, he planned to take advantage of the situation to change the armor and banners of the county soldiers, looking for an opportunity to enter the city and seize Fenyin.

Unexpectedly, the blood stains that these armor could not wipe clean finally aroused the suspicion of another team of county soldiers outside the city, so just when Yang Feng was about to resist Fenyin City, the identity of his own soldiers was recognized, and he had to show his true face, and led the soldiers to kill another team of county soldiers patrolling the river defense.

After the identity was recognized, Fenyin City suddenly felt like a great enemy, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the city wall were tense and ready for battle.

Yang Feng's department is less than 1,000 people, it is to sneak attack Fenyin City, all the way lightly armed, naturally did not carry siege equipment, plus the periphery of Fenyin City and lead Fenshui as a moat, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yang Feng's department is difficult to attack the city.

As a last resort, Yang Feng could only bluff, and people preached to the defenders in Fenyin City, "Hedong Taishou, Pingbei General Yan Yan led 20,000 troops, has crossed the river, and the forward soldiers are coming to the city. ”

At the same time, Yang Feng also unfurled his flag in the suburbs of the city, stirring up smoke and dust at the Hejin Ferry, the war drums shook the sky, and the horns were repeated, pretending that a large number of soldiers and horses had crossed the river to Fenyin, so as to confuse the defenders.

Under this heavy oppression, among the county soldiers who defended the city, there was a tun chief, grateful for the life-saving grace of Yan Xing, who entered the Pingbaibo in the east of the river, and led the soldiers to open the city gate at the risk of death, put down the drawbridge, and received Yang Feng's soldiers and horses into the city, and finally fought fiercely, Yang Feng killed the county soldiers and soldiers who defended the city in the city, which was able to control Fenyin City.

This time to capture Fenyin City, Yang Feng first fought bravely and bravely to attack Fenyin, and after encountering the county soldiers who patrolled outside the city, he was able to use clever tactics and sneak into the city in disguise. Although this plan changed temporarily and was discovered by the county soldiers, Yang Feng was still able to deal with it flexibly without hurrying, bluffing, pretending to have Yan Xing's army and showing signs of attacking the city.

Using this psychological deterrence, in the end, by chance, the city also changed, and Yang Feng quickly seized the opportunity to take the city, clearing the way for Yan Xing's army to cross the river.

Brave and strategic, bold as fighting, this is Yan Xing's praise to Yang Feng, in exchange for other people, when the identity is recognized, or when the city gate is suddenly opened, they will definitely choose to retreat, or wait and see the situation, but Yang Feng is a swift and fierce eagle, rushing all the way until he takes this Fenyin City.

As for October of the first year of Yonghan, Yan Xing, Xu Kun and others led their troops into Hedong, joined Li Dao and other three captains, and returned to Niu Fu, repelled and expelled Bai Bo. After the war, there were many soldiers and wounded, there was a shortage of military doctors and craftsmen, and many of the wounded soldiers of Hedong County were not cared for.

Today, the rescued wounded soldier has been promoted to the commander of the county army by virtue of his military merits, and he is grateful for the grace of saving his life, opens the city gate, and welcomes Yang Feng's soldiers and horses into the city.

This matter, only because it is the benevolence of Yan Xing, the main general, will be praised by Gan Ling, Zhou Liang and others.

"Lao Tzu said that he was affected by the country, and he was called the master of the society; The country is ominous, and it is the king of the world. At that time, the generals in the army abandoned those wounded soldiers like a shoe, only the general had benevolence, worked tirelessly, and treated them in time, and today there is this tun chang to open the city gate to repay the favor, which shows that the general is virtuous and graceful, and should be the lord of Hedong, ridiculous Wang Yi and others, painstakingly trying to resist, but it is against the way of heaven and seeking their own death! ”

Listening to Zhou Liang's praise, Yan Xing waved his hand and smiled. Today, he is already the commander of the army, how can he compete with the generals under his command for this first merit, let alone be complacent and carried away because of a first victory.

"Even if my kindness back then was able to influence the soldiers of one or two counties, if there were no soldiers who dared to break into the city, how could this Fenyin be taken!"

After saying this, Yan Xing waved his whip casually and greeted Gan Ling.

"Shusheng, I think that in the past when I was in Yunwu, you and I took pleasure in fighting wine, and now that you have been in trouble for a long time, I guess your riding skills are more exquisite, why don't you and I compare them again today?"

Gan Ling heard Yan Xing talk about the past of Jincheng back then, and smiled, but he shook his hand and said:

"Although Ling's riding skills have increased, the general's riding skills are even more extraordinary, I'm afraid that I can't compare to the general, so I should simply admit defeat."

"Haha, don't postpone the noise, if you can win me, your good wine is indispensable, quickly show your real skills!"

Yan Xing saw Gan Ling shirking, but he was unwilling to let go. When he had laughed, he turned his horse's head, galloped his horse, and galloped down the high ground with a dash of smoke.

Gan Ling saw that Yan Xing had already galloped out of the horse, and quickly went down the high ground, afraid that Yan Xing would lose his single gallop, so he hurriedly beckoned the cavalry guarding to hurry up and horse, and galloped down the high ground before and after, chasing Yan Xing.

Seeing Yan Xing, Gan Ling and others galloping and competing, Xi Zhicai and Zhou Liang were all people who did not follow the rules of etiquette, and they also smiled happily, but their riding skills were not as good as Yan Xing, Gan Ling and others, but when they went down to the high ground, they did not dare to gallop like the two of them, so they could only carefully hold the reins and go down the high ground safely.

When they got off the high ground, the two looked from afar, and saw that Yan Xing's men and horses had turned into a black shadow, and even if they wanted to chase after them temporarily, they couldn't chase them.

Zhou Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Xijun, it's rare that the general is in high spirits today, I'm waiting for the scribes, so don't fight for this level, let's wait here for their return!"

Xi Zhicai replied with a smile:

"Very good."

In the past years in Jincheng, Yan Xing and Gan Ling's riding skills were between Bozhong, Gan Ling was the leader of Yunwu City's light heroes, he thought very highly of himself, known as the double best of riding and archery, and underestimated Yan Xing who came to challenge, but the two of them were tied in archery, but the riding skills were slightly better than Yan Xing, so he was impressed by Yan Xing's skills, and he was not afraid of hardships and dangers all the way, and followed Yan Xing to this day.

Today, although Yan Xing was riding his horse first, he intended to wait for Ganling, so although he opened a big section at the beginning, but not long after, Ganling also chased after him, and the two of them could go hand in hand, and it was difficult to distinguish the order.

The cavalry who followed saw Yan Xing and Gan Ling galloping side by side, and did not immediately go forward to protect them, but consciously opened a distance, followed closely behind, and guarded the two in the rear.

"Brother's mount is a very divine horse, not inferior to the old horse that shines on the night!"

After Ganling rode his horse to drive Yan Xing, he saw that Yan Xing had slowed down his horse again, and he also slowed down his horse, looked at Yan Xing with a smile and said.

The horse that shines on the night white is when he was in the right side of the wind, Yan Xing accidentally saved Pei Shu and his entourage, and Pei Shu gave the horse in his hand to Yan Xing as a thank you.

Unfortunately, the horse was wounded on the battlefield and died on the way to escape.

Now Yan Xing's mount is the mount of the Cao army general who Xu Huang led the troops at the Bianshui Ferry, and the captured Cao army general, named "White Bird", Xu Huang gave this good horse to Yan Xing as a mount after returning to the camp.

Listening to Gan Ling talk about his mount made Yan Xing feel infinitely reverie.

Especially when I thought of the edge of the water, the general who could only see the silhouette of his body from a distance.

Cao Cao!

After hearing that he got the territory of Dongjun, he was like a dragon entering the sea, and he got good talents such as Xun Yu, and defeated Yu Poison, Bai Huan and other black mountain thieves who were rampant in Hebei with fewer enemies, and helped Yuan Benchu stabilize Jizhou and fight against Gongsun Bogui.

After Liu Dai was killed in the Yellow Turban, Cao Cao was even more supported by the state, and had already led the troops into Yanzhou, driving away the Yanzhou assassin Shi Jinshang appointed by the imperial court, and in the following months, Wen Taowu strategy, after more than a dozen battles, pacified the Qingxu Yellow Turban soldiers.

When Yan Xingkankan was about to get the territory of Hedong County, Cao Mengde, the defeated general who had lost his army in Bianshui, had already occupied a state.

Although his state has only been in power for a short time, it has not yet been able to fully control it.

But in comparison, Yan Xing was still far behind, which made Yan Xing can't help but have a sense of urgency to seize the day, he slowed down his horse and grabbed the reins.

"Although the mount is a miracle horse, it can't outrun you."

Yan Xing stopped the mount with a smile, and Gan Ling smiled and quipped:

"Brother didn't want Ling to make a fool of himself, so he deliberately let it go first."

Yan Xing listened to Ganling's words, smiled but did not speak, and after staying for a while, he sighed leisurely and said:

"Look at this river, surging endlessly, turning eastward, converging into the sea, passing through the state and county, and the vast soup. Today, I can relive the things of the Jincheng in the past, and I am very happy, but I don't know how many heroes and heroes in the Central Plains are galloping in the Central Plains when you and my brothers are galloping here, and they are breaking the enemy! ”

"Brother!"

Gan Ling felt the heaviness in Yan Yan's words, and he also put away his smile.

Yan Xing looked back at the cavalry behind him, and then let the horse ride slowly move by the river, and he said to Gan Ling:

"This time I crossed the river to take the east of the river, the natural danger has entered my hands, Wang Yi, Wei Gu's generation, even if there is a talent in the sky, there is no danger to defend, sitting in a lonely city, sooner or later I will be captured, but do you know, what else am I worried about?"

When Gan Ling heard this, he groaned a little and blurted out.

"Li, Guo."

Yan Xing glanced at Gan Ling, nodded, and began to say:

"I left you to guard the three places of Linjin, Haoyang, and Longmen, it is for its consideration, the land of Hexi, like the Hedong Domain, when the first Qin, Qin and Jin fought frequently for this place, and when it came to the Wei State, Wu Qi ran to Chu, the hegemony turned empty, and the tears of the north were also here."

"Now in the land of Guanzhong, there are strong neighbors on the side, Li, Guo and others are all villains who are greedy and repeated, although they have allied with us and raised troops, but now Chang'an has entered the hands of their generations, and they have to look at Shu, and they must be guarded against."

"Although it is easy for me to lead the army to take the east of the river, but it takes a lot of time to set the east of the river, if there are Li and Guo from the constraints at this time, it is difficult to establish the foundation, and many years of operation have turned into water, you guard the west of the river, you should know that it is important!"

Gan Ling met Yan Xingmingrui's eyes, and he subconsciously promised.

"Brother rest assured, Lingding will guard the land west of the river for his brother, even if Li and Guo lead the troops to come, as long as the city is not strong, this body will not fall, and the horse will not be allowed to cross the river!"

Yan Xing couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Gan Ling's words.

"It's good to be strong and fierce, but Li Dao and Guo Yan have a lot of soldiers and horses, and with our current strength, they are not their opponents. If you resist on your own, you will undoubtedly be a mantis arm as a car, how can I let you defend the west of the river! ”

"I made an appointment with Li, Guo and others, before I got the land of Hedong, I first borrowed Zuo Fengyi's city to garrison troops, and now the generals of Xiliang are lingering in Chang'an City, so Li, Guo and others will not plot the land of Hexi in a short period of time, but these two people are not unscrupulous, and they are supplemented by Li Ru and Jia Xu, etc., and in time, they will seek Hexi."

"Hexi is located in Zuo Feng Yi, there is Feng Yiqiang in the territory, it was originally a rebellious Xiqiang tribe, and then it was defeated by the imperial court and moved into Zuo Feng Yi, multiplying for many years, and now the tribe is dense, it is a major force in the territory of Zuo Feng Yi.

"The county in the north, although it has been abandoned by the imperial court because of the chaos of Qiang and Hu, but the Shen family, all without Qiang, mixed Hu, no one grows the same, each has a rich chieftain, and they are all greedy for money and aggressive, so they can be tempted to take advantage of it, and collect their elite horses as arm help."

"As for the south, Duan Xuan garrisoned Huayin, and his people originally lived in Li, Guo and others, and now they deign to obey them, and they will have complaints, and they can also send envoys to make friends and secretly form allies, in case of emergency."

"These three, when I garrisoned Haoyang, I had a lot of plans, you should follow their path, in this way, you guard the land west of the river, only resist Guo Yan's soldiers, there are strong reinforcements outside, and there is no chaos inside, so as to ensure that you are safe."

After listening to Yan Xing's plan, Gan Ling's eyes were full of brilliance, and he nodded again and again.

"Brother is far-sighted, and he can't do it, so he must carefully obey the general's orders, cut down and make friends, and follow this good path!"

Seeing that Gan Ling listened to his words, Yan Xing nodded happily, Hexi is an important land, and there is no room for loss before Hedong is consolidated. Among the generals in his hands, there are only a few people who are loyal to him and capable, but Xu Huang, Cao Yuan, and Gan Ling.

Xu Huang and Cao Yuan took Hedong this time, either stationed in important places in the north, or as the main generals of the road, and could not be transferred, while Ganling had followed him for many years, had long experience and training, and was relatively familiar with the situation of the Xiliang Army, so he was the best candidate to guard Hexi.

The only thing I am worried about is the war plot, the temple plan and the painting.

Thinking of these things, Yan Xing said by exhorting again:

"This time to take Anyi, in order to ask for the speed of the soldiers, I only took the horses to cross the river, and the rest of the three auxiliary households with heavy baggage and appeasement were temporarily handed over to you first, and when the east of the river is pacified, they will cross the river in batches and settle in the east of the river."
