Chapter 163: Cao Cao roared
Regarding Wang Wei's envy, Chen Sheng smiled slightly and said, "General Wang's army is not bad. "This is the truth, Wen Ping, Wang Wei's elite soldiers showed combat power, which made Chen Sheng feel frightened.
At the same time, it also made Chen Sheng more cautious about Jingzhou. If Liu Biao does not die, these two generals will defend the city together, and they will be boating in the rivers and lakes, it will be more difficult to conquer Jingzhou.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Sheng's heart was of course cautious and abnormal. At the same time, I can't help but sigh, there is a long way to go. However, this also inspired Chen Sheng's fighting spirit, Wang Wei, the stronger the Wenpin, the better.
The more powerful it is, if Jingzhou is leveled and subdued, won't this be a powerful boost?
Thinking about it like this, Chen Sheng felt happy. Similarly, Chen Sheng's attitude towards Wang Wei is also very good.
It's a pity that after Wang Wei listened to Wen Ping's words, he was wary of Chen Sheng, so that Chen Sheng's good attitude was wasted.
"The army I and Wenpin are indeed the best in Jingzhou. However, if you want to compare with the elite soldiers of Wancheng, there is a long way to go. Not only Chen Sheng felt that there was a long way to go, but Wang Wei also felt it. He shook his head and said.
I was even more ruthless in my heart, and when I went back to Jingzhou, I must train the army more strictly.
"Huh." Chen Sheng smiled in return.
Next, Chen Sheng and Wang Wei just talked in the east and west. Wang Wei is not only not old-fashioned, but also humorous, so the two get along quite happily.
However, the two chatted with each other, but the conversation did not last long. Because not long after, Wei Yan, Liao Hua, Hu Che'er, Fang Gu and others rode back.
"General, we received a lot of surrendered troops, but we let Cao Ren run away."
Hu Che'er was the first to speak, dejected, and some of them looked like they had been hit, and the other generals seemed to be so unwilling and very unhappy.
For this point, Chen Sheng is quite relieved. What he saw just now was clear, Cao Ren's personal soldiers had maintained a certain amount of physical strength, and it was normal for them not to pursue.
A pursuit battle can defeat Cao's army, at least Cao's army will lose five or six thousand people, which is already a good record.
If you want to keep a general like Cao Ren, it is unlikely. Unless Cao Ren himself is grief-stricken and indignant, he doesn't plan to run away.
So, Chen Sheng said with a smile: "There is a way to get Longwangshu, and General Hu is too greedy." ”
Suddenly, Hu Che'er's face turned slightly red, and he was red in black. However, he was not angry, he also knew that he was a little greedy, but he was just unwilling.
"Command, rest for a quarter of an hour. Then return to Wancheng. Immediately, Chen Sheng left Hu Che'er and ordered.
"No."
Zhou Cang promised and went down to give the order.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Sheng and Wang Wei led the army back to Wancheng together, and when they came, there were about 9,000 people, and when they came back, they were still about the same number.
Of course, part of it was Cao's army that surrendered.
In this battle, Chen Sheng's own army was actually lost by more than half, but with the replenishment of the surrendered troops, it not only replenished it, but also exceeded the number of elite soldiers under the pursuit command.
On the contrary, the elite soldiers of Jingchu led by Wang Wei suffered a lot of losses, and his loss was a permanent surname. You have to go back to Jingzhou to recruit new soldiers.
Chen Sheng's evil desire to use this pursuit battle to consume Cao Ying and Jingzhou's elite soldiers has also been achieved, and it is completely killing two birds with one stone.
So, Chen Sheng led the army to return to Wancheng happily.
On the other side, Cao Ying's mood was .......
After a pursuit and counter-pursuit battle with Chen Sheng, Cao Ying led a thousand elite soldiers and returned to the position of the Chinese army. The Chinese army is different from the broken army.
The Chinese army had many baggage wagons, and the ranks were large and bloated. Cao Ying led a thousand elite soldiers back to the Chinese army, which can be regarded as increasing the defense of the Chinese army.
At the same time, because he had just "defeated" Chen Sheng, Cao Ying was in a good mood. And, like Cao Ren, he didn't delay on the road, planning to fight next time.
However, unlike Cao Ren, Cao Ying had long understood that Chen Sheng's bone was not easy to gnaw, so he didn't want to attack Chen Sheng again, he wanted to defeat Lu Bu in Xuzhou first.
"I heard that Liu Bei, who has been stationed in Xiaopei recently, is recruiting troops, and there are as many as 10,000 soldiers and horses. Lone can recruit spies, bribe the people around Lu Bu, and make suggestions to Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu will do Liu Bei evil. The two sides were at war, and Lone took the opportunity to intervene in order to seize Xuzhou. ”
Cao Ying was thinking about the affairs of Xuzhou in his heart, and he even had a blueprint, so he must attack Xuzhou, eliminate the threat from the south, and at the same time strengthen his own strength.
"Da-da-da-da."
I'm in a good mood, and I'm drinking sticks. The sound of galloping horses sounded in the rear, and Cao Ying glanced back and saw that there were about thirty cavalry galloping towards this side.
At this time, Cao Ying still didn't think of Chen Sheng's insidious plan for the second pursuit. But seeing this kind of posture, it also feels a little bad.
At this moment, there is Xun Yu beside Cao Ying, and Cheng Yu is also riding a horse, and the two of them are also discolored, and they feel bad like Cao Ying.
"Da Sikong, Chen Sheng, Wang Wei again cavalry attack the broken rear army, General Cao Ren is not prepared to engage it, General Niu Jin was killed, and now the situation is unfavorable. Please be on your guard. ”
Soon after, the cavalry approached, and the leader reported to Cao Ying.
In fact, Cao Ren was also too worried, after Chen Sheng pursued for a while, there were prisoners, and there were people and horses, who would want to continue to pursue the Chinese army.
However, I also have to be considerate of Cao Ren's frightened bird's mood, and it seems that there is nothing to send someone to remind Cao Ying.
"What?"
In fact, this cavalryman didn't speak very loudly, but in Cao Ying's ears, it was like a tidal wave slapping a case, and it was earth-shattering.
This Chen Sheng obviously pursued once, but he actually pursued the second time. This is beyond common sense, beyond common sense.
Cao Ying only felt that his brain was buzzing, his head was dizzy, and it was really difficult to calm down.
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu didn't expect it, the two glanced at each other and were suddenly surprised. However, it is too late to send troops to rescue Cao Ren.
However, the two did not think that Chen Sheng still had the strength to spare, and continued to pursue the Chinese army.
However, Xun You also felt that the top priority should be cautious, so Xun You said to Cao Ying: "At this time, it is too late for rescue, wait and see what happens." As for General Cao Ren's suggestion to be more vigilant, although the lower officials thought that Chen Sheng was no longer able to pursue, he still mobilized the soldiers and horses of the former army and broke off. ”
"Let's do it first." At this moment, Cao Ying's head has not completely calmed down, and the buzzing sound has become even louder, and he has no ability to think. Therefore, no matter what Xun You did, he waved his hand weakly and responded.
After giving the order, Cao Ying was still immersed in the heavy roar of this news.
