In November 208, it was getting cold in the north. In order to teach Tao Ying a harsh lesson before the harsh winter, Cao Cao led 10,000 troops with the general Xu Huang as the vanguard to attack Shanyang County. Xu Huang's army had not yet arrived in Shanyang County, and Tao Ying had already led nearly 60,000 troops to Changyi City, Shanyang County. Shanyang County is a large industrial county in Xuzhou, and if the prefect of Yuzhou Quan Judo starts a war in Shanyang, it will inevitably destroy the construction achievements of Shanyang for seven or eight years, so Tao Ying decided to put the battlefield in Jiyin County, which is controlled by Cao Cao!

After being stationed in Chengwu City in Jiyin County for five days, Xu Huang led his troops to camp thirty miles outside Chengwu City. Hearing that Xu Huang was coming, Zhao Yun asked for orders to fight, wanting to teach the Yanzhou coalition army a big lesson! Xu Huang is a general, and Zhao Yun is also extremely brave, so Tao Ying is very relieved. Zhao Yun was about to fight, but a general next to him stood up and said: "Kill chickens with a knife, lord, I am willing to go to meet Xu Huang for the vanguard!" ”

Tao Ying looked at that person, it was none other than the famous Hebei general Wen Chou! So Tao Ying nodded and said: "Third brother, I'm afraid that Cao Cao will sneak attack the Liang State and attack Pengcheng from the Liang State, so the third brother, you go to assist Liu Xun to defend the Liang State." ”

Zhao Yun still wanted to speak, but Tao Ying had already asked Wen Chou to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to meet Yanzhou Xu Huang. After Wen Chou left, Tao Ying summoned Zhao Yun to his side and said: "Third brother, when Kong Ming went to Bingzhou, he said that Cao Cao was treacherous, he would attack Shanyang County in the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to kill all the way from the waterway to Pengcheng, but our army and navy were strong, and they couldn't defeat it at all. Therefore, Kong Ming expected that their main force would go through the Liang State, so I had already transferred the army division to the Governor of the Southern Road, and the third brother must hold the Liang State and not let it move forward! ”

After Tao Ying finished instructing, Zhao Yun knew the reason why Tao Ying asked Wen Chou to go to meet Xu Huang, so Zhao Yun said goodbye to Tao Ying and took the Tianwei army to Liang to station. After Zhao Yun left, Tao Ying ordered his other elite troops, the Hell Demon Army, to also go to Liang State to assist Jia Xu in defending the city. The Hell Demon Army was gone, and at this time, the only soldiers and horses stationed in Shanyang County were the Huainan Army led by Ji Ling and the Shiting Army led by Tai Shici, so Tao Ying strictly followed Jia Xu's instructions to let the two of them guard Changyi and Liangqiu City, so that the three cities could act as a barrier to each other and could resist the attack of Xu Huang's army and horses.

In the middle of October, Xu Huang set up camp outside Chengwu City, Jiyin County, just after the camp was completed, Wen Chou led the troops to kill in front of the village, Xu Huang led the troops to meet the battle, the two fought outside the city for nearly a stick of incense time, Wen Chou burned Xu Huang's big village and then returned to Chengwu City. Wen Chou left, the tired Xu Huang army and horses had to re-encamp, and when Xu Huang's army had just set up camp and attacked Wen Chou again, Xu Huang faced the battle, and the two armies fought for nearly a stick of incense time, Wen Chou had few soldiers, so he could only return to the city, but this time he burned Xu Huang's camp again.

Xu Huang's army continued to camp without success, and their morale was a little low. In order to prevent Wen Chou from attacking the camp, Xu Huang set up the tent in the proposal that he had just set up for a long time, but the night passed, but Wen Chou did not attack the camp.

The next morning, Xu Huang was a little tired and wanted to attack the city, only to find that because there were no tents to live in, many soldiers were frozen to death, and they all had no energy to fight! Xu Huang had no choice but to retreat twenty miles and set up camp to rest.

Xu Huang was a little curious about why Wen Chou was suddenly so resourceful, but what he didn't know was that after so many years, the Xuzhou Military Academy had already cultivated a large number of middle and senior generals and military advisors. And the resourceful man who is assigned to a general of Wen Chou's level is the top three students in the military academy, and the army of Wen Chou alone is equipped with three strategists, and these three people know that the art of war is actually Xu Huang's little trick can deceive them.

Wen Chou fought Gao Jie in Chengwu City for the first time, and Tao Ying sent wine and meat to reward the soldiers, and spread the good news to all parts of Xuzhou. Cao Cao was very angry when he heard that Xu Huang was defeated by Chengwu and Chengwu, and wanted to deal with Xu Huang with military law, but was persuaded by the generals. So Cao Cao sent the general Le Jin to replace Xu Huang as the vanguard, and Xu Huang was dismissed from the position of pioneer officer, and he was depressed. After Le entered the camp outside Chengwu City, he led the troops to challenge outside Chengwu City, and the Chengwu soldiers were busy telling Wen Chou, who was busy carrying weapons to meet the battle.

Chengwu City, a Yanzhou city on the border between Shanyang County and Shanyin County. Chengwu City is not big, but because it is bordered by the developed Changyi, Chengwu is also built very high, coupled with the continuous reinforcement of Wenchou these days, today's Chengwu City is no longer the place where the small county town can be compared.

Outside the city, Le Jin urged the horse forward, Wen Chou went out of the city and called for war outside the city, Le Jin sent a general to fight, and was beheaded by Wen Chou under the horse in less than three rounds. Le Jin frowned, and another general rushed to the battlefield to fight Tao Ying Vanguard to take revenge, but was beheaded by Wen Chou in less than three rounds.

Le Jin's brows furrowed even tighter, seeing that he had won two games in a row, Wen Chou's army waved his hand, and Wen Chou's army covered all the way, and Le Jin was defeated and returned. After chasing for nearly ten miles, the military division fired three cannons in a row on the city, and Wen Chou returned to the city.

After Lejin also suffered a defeat in Wenchou, the morale of Lejin's soldiers and horses was even more sluggish. When Lejin's morale was low, Tao Ying excluded spies and moved around, and soon rumors of Wen Chou's invincibility began to spread in Lejin's camp. After the rumors came out, the spies even rebelled against many Yanzhou generals, so at the beginning of November, when Le Jin was fighting against Wen Chou outside Chengwu City, suddenly a cannon rang out, and the generals of Le Jin rebelled later.

Some people rebelled, and they didn't know how many people rebelled, and the Lejin soldiers and horses suddenly became chaotic. Wen Cheng saw that the time had come, so he led the troops all the way to cover up, and after a bloody battle, Wen Chou chased Le into a small forest. There is no way to retreat from the front and back, and Le Jin comes back to kill Wen Chou, how brave is Wen Chou, how can Le Jin be the enemy? The two fought for less than forty rounds, and Wen Chou was captured and entered under the horse.

After capturing Le Jin, Wen Chou came to recruit Le Jin's soldiers and horses, and in this battle, Wen Chou killed more than 1,000 Cao Cao's pioneers, captured more than 3,000 people, and captured Cao Cao's vanguard officer. After capturing Le Jin, Tao Ying personally came to reward Wen Chou, and Feng Wen Chou became a martial candidate, and Wen Chou's subordinates all had rewards. It is said that when Cao Cao led more than 300,000 troops from Yanzhou to kill, Guo Jia said that he could not attack Xuzhou from Shanyang County, because in recent years, the Xuzhou naval army has developed rapidly, and Surabaya has convenient transportation, and Tao Ying's soldiers and horses can be supported from Qingzhou in less than a week, so it is better to go to Liangguo to attack Xiaopei and then go to Pengcheng.

So Cao Cao reassigned the task, letting Liu Bei lead his troops to attack Shanyang County to attract Tao Ying's main force, and himself attack Tao Ying's weak Liang State. Liang is located in the plain, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and Cao Cao asked Sun Quan's general Zhou Yu to lead the troops to cut off the reinforcements of Huainan County, and let Yuan Shang attack Pengcheng from Peiguo, so that Liang's defense will be weaker, and Pengcheng can be broken in a battle at that time!
