With Ma Tan's assurance, the military attaches of the Liberation Camp were extremely down-to-earth, and immediately began to discuss the candidates for the battle.

Bailichuan must stay and continue to lock up Liyang City, and the soldiers and horses at the head of the two battalions under his command Li Sizheng and Kong Jiao are no exception.

will also not move, and there is also a battalion head of Ji Xin guarding Zhaoguan.

With the end of the Battle of Hefei, both the Jiangdong Army and the imperial court entered a short period of silence.

Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang were tired from being harassed and directly led the troops back to Shouchun.

Zhang Liao and Li Dian folded Lejin and Xue Yi, and their morale was even lower.

The two, who were already unaccustomed to each other, wrote secret letters to Cao Cao and sent them to Cao Cao after accusing each other.

The secret letter sent by Zhang Liao focused on the fact that Jiangdong Jun was a demon again, and he had a fierce and cunning character like a jackal.

The secret letter sent by Li Dian focused on Zhang Liao who was too cowardly, and was beaten by an unknown person, and died of Le Jin and Xue Yi.

As a bystander, Cao Xiu sent back the military report was fairly fair.

He truthfully wrote how Zhang Liao shouted his name, galloped indulgently, and shocked Yaojin! How to let Sun Quan flee in embarrassment with 100,000 Jiangdong troops!

In this way, Cao Cao received this three-point military report, and it was very messy.

In terms of reliability, it is undoubtedly Cao Xiu's more accurate.

He has no interests involved, and he is still Cao Cao's kinship, and what he says is the most credible.

That is to say, Zhang Liao really relied on his weak troops to play a mythical record!

But Li Dian's military report was diametrically opposed, saying that Zhang Liao was beaten by an unknown man named Ma Zhong, and even the Bingzhou wolf cavalry that he relied on to gain a foothold was completely wiped out.

One said that he was awesome and didn't want it, and the other said that he had lost all his money when he was beaten.

If you want to say that Li Dian is to avenge his personal revenge, he will fight against Zhang Liao, but when he opened Zhang Liao's own secret letter, the text in it was full of vigilance against the thief general.

In this way, Zhang Liao himself has become Li Dian's evidence.

What the hell is this called?

Not to mention Cao Cao's entanglement, Zhang Liao's side put the focus of the deployment on the front line of Zhaoguan.

Ma Zhong's hatred in Zhang Liao's heart is always full.

According to Ji Xin's report, the detectives on the Hefei side appeared outside Zhaoguan almost every day.

……

Except for these two soldiers and horses who couldn't move, all the other troops were taken by Ma Yan.

The main general who went out was naturally the champion Zhonglang general Ding Feng.

He had in his hands the infantry of the three battalions of the Nanban Battalion, and two cavalry battalions under his temporary control.

Ma Tan gave him the most difficult task, in addition to the battles along the way, he also had to block the gallop of Hefei.

In order to cooperate with Ding Feng's battle, Li Fei, the nominal number three person in the army, also temporarily added Ding Feng's account with a military judge.

The deputy general who went out on the expedition was the wolf captain Cen Wolf.

He is the main general of the Dongting Lake family in the future, and he is very interested in the water army.

Ma Tan temporarily assigned the three battalions of Leshui and Weitong to Cen Wolf.

The three battalions of the navy army recruited by Wang Li in Jianchang also followed.

Their main task was to seize the ship.

Strive to pull out the sunken ship as soon as possible under the cover of Ding Feng.

In this way, the deployment is very clear.

Ding Feng led more than 1,000 infantry and 600 cavalry to take charge of the battle.

Cen Wolf led eight battalion heads, and 2,500 soldiers were responsible for seizing the ship.

After the discussion was completed, each went to deploy his troops and horses.

The route Ma Tan chose was to go down the river and go to the mouth of the river first. Then he went up from the mouth of the wet beard and directly attacked Chaohu Lake.

Now the army of Zhang Cheng, the governor of the Wet Beard Governor, is still stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River to watch, and the vicinity of the Wet Beard Pass is relatively calm.

Both the imperial court and the Jiangdong army left only a small number of troops to test each other, maintaining a situation of no war and no peace.

The Relief Camp rushed over from here, and it was completely able to achieve a surprise effect.

In the twentieth year of Jian'an, on the eighth day of December, the army was assembled, and after joining the army, Ma Jian swore an oath to lead the troops.

In the twentieth year of Jian'an, on December 11, Ding Feng's vanguard troops arrived at the mouth of the Xukou, and then engaged in a fierce confrontation with the scattered troops of the Cao army wandering here.

Ding Feng's cavalry team was not very skilled, and it took a lot of time to solve this hundred-person scout.

At this time, the Jiangdong Army, which remained on guard in Jiangbei, also heard the news.

The scout stepped forward to inquire, but there were really no outsiders.

It turned out to be the new partial general Pan Zhang.

Because of his outstanding performance in Hefei City, Pan Zhang was promoted to general by Sun Quan. also allowed him to form five schools of soldiers.

Who knows, Pan Zhang was tripped up by someone for two days before he was happy.

When considering the candidates who stayed in the wet dock, Lu Meng mentioned that Pan Zhangjun was neat and could be the mainstay.

Sun Quan thought about it carefully, and when he was defeated and retreated, Pan Zhang was indeed a clear stream, so he agreed to Lu Meng's proposal.

So Pan Zhang, who had just stood out, was forced to stay in Jiangbei.

On this day, Pan Zhang was surprised to hear that a team suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack on the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Hurriedly led troops to see.

Unexpectedly, the person who saw the leader of the troops was Ding Feng.

When Pan Zhang saw Ding Feng, new and old hatreds surged into his heart, and he was about to take the opportunity to join him, but was quickly stopped by Zhang Tang.

"Lord, we are isolated in Jiangbei, why do you want to provoke Sima's subordinates again? He's never been easy to mess with. ”

As soon as Pan Zhang heard this, he became angry, and looked fiercely, "What Sima?" Do you still recognize that traitor?! ”

Zhang Tang said that he was smooth before, but he didn't argue at this time, and said embarrassedly, "Lord, don't say anything else." When we retreated, our soldiers and horses were also taken care of by Ma Zhong. Isn't it too unkind to sneak up on them at this time? ”

After Zhang Tang finished speaking, he was worried that Pan Zhang would be angry.

Unexpectedly, Pan Zhang said in a muffled voice, "Let's go, let's go back to the camp." ”

Zhang Tang was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw a dense army coming from the east.

Pan Zhang took two steps, and saw that Zhang Tang was looking at the distant troops in a daze, after all, he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and ordered, "Go and inquire, what do these bastards want to do?" ”

Zhang Tangzheng saw Ding Feng leading people to this side, so he hurriedly greeted him, and asked with a smile from a distance, "Isn't this Ding Feng?" How did you bring people here? It's not Sun Jiangdong who asked you to replace us. ”

Ding Feng didn't have a good face for Zhang Tang, and reined in his horse and scolded loudly, "Get away, there's nothing to do with you here!" ”

Zhang Tang's face turned red, and he was secretly angry in his heart.

He arched his hand and said no more, and hurried to catch up with Pan Zhang in front.

Pan Zhang looked at Zhang Tang and asked in a low voice, "Do you understand?" ”

Zhang Tang was furious in his heart, "Ding Feng, this dog thief is really ruthless, I knew it was so, why should I rush to be humiliated by him." ”

Pan Zhang was slightly disappointed when he heard this.

He pondered for a while, and said to Zhang Tang in a low voice, "These guys have never been profitable, what are you doing at this time?" ”

Before Zhang Tang could answer, Pan Zhang continued, "You take someone to quietly watch them and see what they do, once we catch them, they will feel good at that time!" ”
