Ancestral water, originated in Weishan.

It flows through Pengcheng and Xiapi, and after entering the swimming water in Guangling, it flows into the Huaishui.

Quyang is located on the bank of the ancestral water.

From the lower phase to the western part of the sea, it must pass through Quyang.

Quyang's long name is Wang Mo, a native of Le'an, who is quite prestigious in Xuzhou, and is as famous as Zhou Kui, a native of Xuyi. After Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, he also recruited many local celebrities, and Wang Mo was one of them. In the three years since he was appointed to Quyang, Wang Mo has made outstanding political achievements, developing Quyang County, which was originally only more than 20,000 people, to 30,000. Today, when Xuzhou's population is generally declining, it is also a great achievement.

In the morning light, Quyang looks extraordinarily quiet.

Song Xian rode to the outside of Quyang City, but saw that the city was deserted, and there was not even a figure.

"The city is manned."

Song Xian asked loudly.

After a while, a person leaned out from the battlement of the arrow tower and asked lazily: "The county magistrate has an order, and Quyang will not open the city gate today...... Anyone who passes, please go around Quyang. No one is allowed to enter or leave unless ordered by the county magistrate and General Song. Hurry up and go......"

Song Xian couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time, he was a little happy in his heart.

The county magistrate, and General Song?

Isn't that what I'm talking about? This Wang Mo is a person with good eyes, and after turning around in the future, he will definitely recommend it to Wenhou Haosheng.

He shouted: "A certain family is Song Xian." ”

"You're General Song?"

The people on the arrow tower were obviously stunned, and then laughed.

"If you are General Song, then I am Lu Wenhou...... Hahaha, General Song only left yesterday, how could it be like you. ”

Song Xian's face suddenly turned red.

This guy is not likable at all...... "A certain family is Song Xian, and I have a tiger talisman to prove it." Quickly reported to the county magistrate Wang, said that the military situation was urgent, and ordered him to open the city gate immediately. ”

As he spoke, Song Xian took out the tiger talisman and shook it in his hand.

"It's really General Song!"

The junior colonel in the city couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, it's General Song who has returned." ”

Song Xian's hanging heart was suddenly put back in his stomach. But it's a shame to think about it! Yesterday, I was a mighty pull-out, but after a day, I came back in disgrace. Six thousand armies, six thousand armies...... When Song Xian thought about it, he felt a heartache.

The gates creaked open.

Song Xian urged the horse to go to the city gate, and when he saw that he was about to reach the city gate, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the city gate: "Which one is Song Xian." ”

Who is so rude as to call me by my name?

Song Xian was furious, and hurriedly raised his head to look into the hole in the city gate. I heard only the sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the sound of bells. A fast horse rushed out of the hole in the city gate, and immediately the general was dressed in a robe of brocade with a hundred flowers, covered with a lion armor, and a jade belt around his waist.

"Song Xian, Gan Ning has been waiting here for a long time."

Gan Ning?

Who is that?

Song Xian was a little confused...... I've never heard of the name Gan Ning, and you've been waiting for me for a long time?

As if his head had been opened all of a sudden, Song Xian shuddered, hurriedly took off the big gun, and looked up.

But even so, it was a bit late. A white horse, in the morning light, rushed to him like a cloud.

Immediately, a general, with a big knife in his hand, came to Song Xian, and without saying a word, dragged the knife past Song Xian.

The cold light flashed, and the blood mist splattered.

Song Xian was cut off by someone in an instant. The head fell to the ground, and the bones kept rolling. And the headless corpse on horseback, blood gushing from the cavity, instantly stained the crotch of the mount. Not only did Song Xian not react, but Song Xian's personal entourage, one by one, was stupid at the city gate. What exactly happened, and why was General Song killed?

After rushing out of the city gate in the white night, Xi Yuyu raised his hooves and hissed.

The iron palm under the hoof glittered in the light. The general on the horse is even more majestic and murderous.

Jingle - The bell rang, and the man immediately stood under the city gate.

"Song Xian is dead, if you don't give up your arms and surrender, when will you wait!"

The sound was like a huge thunder, echoing in the sky: Song Xian is dead, Song Xian is dead...... With this thunderous roar, I only heard the sound of whimpering trombones from the city gatehouse. From both sides of the city gate, more than 200 soldiers rushed out of Hulala, armed with big guns and spears, staring at those servants viciously, surrounded by groups. At the same time, a young general appeared behind the battlement of the arrow tower. He is in his early seven feet tall, wearing a bright red Zen robe and a long robe. Wearing a scarf on his head, a jade belt around his waist, a big knife in his palm, and a calm look on his face. Behind him, there were two strong men, each holding a large gun in their hands.

"I am Cao Peng, the captain of Hailing, and now there is a traitor Song Xian who has violated the realm, and he will be killed.

Within three breaths, you put down your weapons. After three breaths, if there is still a person with a weapon in hand and on the horse, it will not matter if he kills him! ”

His voice was not very loud, and there was even a hint of juvenile childishness.

However, in this early morning, there was a treacherous atmosphere. As soon as the words fell, he heard the big man behind him shout: "One! ”

Before the shout fell, one of the servants threw away his weapon and rolled from his horse to the ground.

"I surrender, I surrender!"

If one person takes the lead, a second person will follow, and a third person will ...... In the blink of an eye, Song Xian's more than 70 servants dismounted one after another, threw away the weapons in their hands, and prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.

Gan Ning, who was sitting on the night white, couldn't help but spit out, "Damn, a group of eggless goods." ”

He looked up at the tower. only to find that Cao Peng had disappeared. Standing on the city tower was one of the two people who guarded Cao Peng.

He is called Wang Xu.

After Cao Peng decided to send troops to help, early the next morning, he led 800 Hailing elite soldiers and left Hailing County. Why 800? This also includes two hundred temporary conscripted baggage soldiers, as well as one hundred patrols recruited by Xia Houlan before.

Gan Ning was the vanguard, Cao Peng led 300 people to the Chinese army, and Wang Xu Zhai Jian led 200 people to escort the baggage.

Just as he was about to arrive in Huaishui, Cao Peng received a second letter from Deng Ji. The first letter, which was received when she was shooting the sun, was very simple, Deng Ji asked Cao Peng to send troops to help immediately; The content of the second letter surprised Cao Peng...... Deng Ji said in the letter: Haixi does not need to rush to help, and Song Xian is just a rabble.

However, Song Xian has already taken it, and Lu Bu is difficult to beat. After defeating Song Xian, he will definitely order Lu Bu to send troops to fight. The real danger in Haixi is not Song Xian's 6,000 soldiers and horses, but Lu Bu's second dispatch. Therefore, Deng Ji believed that in order to preserve the achievements of Haixi over the past year, the flames of war must not be ignited under Haixi's rule, and the enemy should be rejected outside Haixi...... Please Cao Peng lead his troops and attack Quyang overnight.

"Who is planning this?"

"Well, when the villain was about to leave, Deng County ordered Mr. Deng Zhi to be the Sima of the other department."

Hu Ban replied cautiously: "Moreover, the county commander of Deng County also entrusted all the soldiers and horses of the county to Mr. Deng Zhi, and he planned to resist the enemy. ”

Deng Zhi?

Cao Peng suddenly realized.

He knows his brother-in-law too well, and Deng Ji doesn't have the courage.

Deng Ji is not a person who is good at military affairs, including Cao Peng, and he is not handsome. Whoever can come up with such a strategy as repelling the enemy beyond the Hercynian must be a bold and resourceful person.

Deng Zhi, sure enough!

Not every traverser can become a military wizard.

Cao Peng knew it himself, and it was okay for him to come up with some ghost ideas and make some side ways.

If it really involves marching and fighting, and strategizing, it is not something that can be done by reading two military books. War books and war strategies are only the basis for teaching war. Cao Peng has read Sima Fa, read Sun Tzu's Art of War, and even in his previous life, he also turned over a few chapters of von Krawitz's "On War". But so what? He still failed to become a military wizard, and in the end he was just a criminal policeman in a small county town.

Perhaps, some people will say that after systematic learning, something will definitely be achieved.

But the problem is that Cao Peng did not graduate from a military academy in his previous life. Even if you come out of a military school, you don't necessarily have to be a general...... Therefore, after being reborn, Cao Peng will try to avoid touching military matters.

training and governing the army, there are Wang Xu and Hao Zhao; Charging into battle, there are Gan Ning, Pan Zhang, Xia Houlan; Advice, Kan Ze is enough!

All he had to do was make good use of these people.

The arrival of Deng Zhi is undoubtedly a huge benefit to Deng Ji and Haixi.

This is not to say that Cao Peng and Deng Ji are useless. At least in terms of governing the local area and strictly enforcing law and discipline, Deng Zhi is not as good as Deng Ji; In terms of solving cases, inquiring about the truth, and being flexible, Cao Peng is much stronger than Deng Zhi. The ruler is long, the inch is short, this kind of thing, it's really hard to say who is stronger than whom. It can only be said that some things are born and not everyone can do them.

In all dynasties, there are countless people who have read military books and war strategies.

But there are only a few famous generals...... There are some things that really have to talk about talent. At this point, Cao Peng can't be convinced.

"Deng Bomiao wants me to capture Quyang?"

"Exactly."

Cao Peng immediately understood Deng Zhi's intentions.

"Hu Ban, you immediately rush to Hailing, let Buzishan go to Guangling County, and ask Chen Taishou for help. It is said that Lu Bu wants to plot against him, and Cao Gong will conquer sooner or later. Ask him to send troops as soon as possible, and it is enough to only garrison Huaiyin. I will cross the Huaishui overnight and cooperate with Deng Bomiao's operation. ”

Hu Ban didn't say a word, and immediately agreed.

Didn't you Chen Deng want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?

It's not that easy in this world...... I will capture Quyang and force you to garrison Huaishui. Even if you don't want to get sick, it's not possible.

Huaiyin, in terms of governance, belongs to the Pi State.

However, due to the change of regime in Xuzhou, the Huaiyin region has been controlled by Guangling to some extent.

As long as Chen Dengtun is on the front line of Huaiyin, he can force Zhang Liao to get out of Xu County, and he can also contain the soldiers and horses in Huaipu County.

Presumably, Deng Zhi's strategy of rejecting the enemy outside the territory also contains this deep meaning.

That night, Cao Peng crossed the Huaishui in a river bay downstream of the Huaishui to the east of Huaipu. At that time, Deng Zhi cut off the swimming water, which made the water flow downstream of the swimming water extremely slow. Especially in the section of the river north of Huaipu, the water is only knee-high. In this way, Cao Peng made no effort, and after crossing the water to the west, he arrived outside Quyang County in the early morning of the first day of September.

Song Xian just led his troops to leave.

Wang Mo was not even more vigilant.

No one would believe that Song Xian's 6,000-strong army could not capture Haixi.

Moreover, Quyang is not too far from swimming, and horseback riding is not even a day's journey. In such a situation, what is Wang Mo's fear?

So, at noon, Cao Peng ordered Gan Ning and Xiahou Lan, each with fifty elite soldiers, to mix into the city in batches. After dark, Gan Ning raised a fire in the city, causing the Quyang Rebellion. After Wang Mo learned about it, he immediately led people to pacify, but was ambushed by Xiahoulan on the way and killed on the long street. After Gan Ning raised the fire, he immediately led people to snatch the city gate. At the same time, Cao Peng attacked from outside the city, and with almost no effort, he captured Quyang. Subsequently, 800 soldiers and horses were stationed in Quyang, and Cao Peng ordered the city gate to be closed. He didn't know if Deng Zhi would be able to wipe out Song Xian, so he didn't dare to take it lightly and take precautions.

Wang Mo's lessons from the past are still in front of him, how can Cao Peng repeat the mistakes of the past?

———————————————————— "Pass on my order, the three armies shall not disturb the people."

At the same time, the treasury was opened and grain and grass were distributed to the people in the city. Since then, Quyang has been forbidden at night, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without an order. ”

Song Xian's body was properly put away, and a thin coffin was prepared.

Cao Peng did not embarrass Song Xian's subordinates, and ordered them to send Song Xian's body to the next minister.

At noon, Deng Zhi led Pan Zhang, Zhou Cang and Deng Fan, led 800 elite soldiers from Haixi, and arrived outside Quyang City. After Cao Peng learned about it, he personally greeted Quyang.

"Fifth brother!"

Under Quyang City, Cao Peng hugged Deng Fan hard.

Then I met Zhou Cang and Pan Zhang one by one, and then I came to Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi has handsome facial features and outstanding appearance. is different from Deng Ji's elegance, Deng Zhi has a heroic spirit, which makes Cao Peng feel heartbroken.

"Deng Bomiao?"

"Cao Youxue!"

After the two met, they almost unanimously called each other's names.

Cao Peng was surprised by Deng Zhi's calm air, while Deng Zhi was a little surprised by Cao Peng's age.

Although he already knew that Cao Peng was only fifteen years old this year. But when Deng Zhi saw Cao Peng with his own eyes, he was still shocked.

"I often hear my brother-in-law mention the name of Deng Bomiao, and now I see it, and the name is well deserved." Cao Peng looked at Deng Zhi and said with a smile: "The water flooded Sankou Beach, and the six thousand thieves disappeared in an instant. ”

Deng Zhi also smiled: "I have heard of it for a long time. When I saw it today, it was a young hero. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Immediately, Cao Peng took Deng Zhi's hand and walked into Quyang County together.

In the county seat, barracks have already been arranged, and 800 Haixi soldiers and horses will be stationed in the school field.

Cao Peng, Deng Zhi and others sat in the yahall. Ganningxia Houlan Wang Xu on the left; Zhou Cang, Pan Zhang and Deng Fan, sat on the right.

After the two sides were seated, Deng Zhi coughed lightly.

"Today, it is said that Song Xian is broken, it is not my work, and Song Xian is incompetent.

However, although Song Xian was defeated, Lu Bu would not give up. In a few days, Na Lu Bu will definitely send troops here, and there will be a fierce battle at that time...... Youxue, you are an official who worships Hailing Wei, and you are also the post supervisor Cao Peng in the eastern part of Guangling. Do you have a plan for the next war? ”

The words attracted everyone in the hall to focus their eyes on Cao Peng.
