After Cao Pi issued the order, Cao Ren immediately built a camp in the middle of the Yellow River and Cangting, and sent more scouts to and from Huanghb'an, Cangting, and Liyang to ensure the safety and smoothness of the grain route, although Cao Pi and the generals all believed that neither Yuan Shang nor Yuan Tan had the ability to raid the grain route of the Cao army, but everyone did not relax their vigilance, especially Cao Ren, who was responsible for ensuring the grain route, sent scouts to roam the place almost covered the hills and forests within a radius of twenty miles from Cangting Liyang, There are no dead spots at all.

Xiahou Ba went with Cao Ren, now is a good time for him to learn to march and fight, Cao Ren is the top commander in Cao's army, and it is enough to follow Cao Ren's ass to watch his formation, that is a good way to improve himself.

As for Cao Zhen, he boasts of high talent, is familiar with military books, and firmly believes that marching and fighting should be in its own vein, and he can't follow one person for too long, so he chose to stay in Liyang City, and every **** will climb the city wall to look at the camp outside the city, watch the mystery of camping, and also check the layout of the camp of the people and the army in the city, and discuss the management of the camp with Chen Qun, and from time to time he will make suggestions to Chen Qun, make suggestions on the arrangement of the army and the people's tents, or leave more passages, or reduce some visual blind spots, or change the position of the sentry, every time a suggestion is made, there is an improvement effect, which makes Chen Qun, the new marching Sima, quite surprised, you must know that the current Cao Zhen is only 14 years old.

Xin Bi went to the house where Lu Lingqi lived and immediately went to Xudu, her daughter Xin Xianying stayed in Liyang, and Lu Lingqi closed her door and didn't care about the changes in Liyang at all.

The New Year of the ninth year of Jian'an was spent in a busy time, and the wealthy families in the city held a banquet to invite Cao Pi and the generals, but Cao Pi gave a strict order: do not stick to the wine. So this New Year was not a good one, but everyone did not complain, after all, the defenders of Liyang were ready to relieve Yuan Tan at any time, and it was really not the time to drink.

Lu Lingqi and Xin Xianying did not participate in the banquet, Cao Pi just asked the Hao family to send some wine and food, and did not come to them because he didn't know what to say to them.

On the tenth day of the ninth month of Jian'an, Xu Du sent an edict, asking Cao Pi to lead his troops out of the city to relieve the siege of Yuan Tan, and left Cao Ren and 2,000 soldiers to guard Liyang, ready to receive grain and grass from the south of the river. At this time, Yuan Tan had been forced into the plain by Yuan Shang and fell into encirclement.

After receiving the order, Cao Pi took Cao Xiu's 500 tigers and leopards, 8,000 soldiers, 16,000 people, and Cao Zhen, Niu Jin, Gao Lan, Gao Shun, and Su Yu from Liyang and went north to Pingyuan County to relieve the siege of Yuan Tan. There were fifty more special sergeants in this team - Wang Shuangqiang Doutun.

This group of fifty people is very special, with bows and arrows, flying stone ropes, and armor covered with animal skin clothing, all of them are very strong, none of them are less than 180 cm tall, and they are all people with very loud voices, this group of people is particularly conspicuous in the army, because they are more like hunters than soldiers.

The march of 24,000 men was also very spectacular, and the procession on the gallop road stretched for five or six miles, with flags all over the sky and dusty flying, which was very shocking. There are tigers and leopards on both sides galloping back and forth, the sound of getting is endless, the commander of the three armies Cao Pi is in the middle of the Chinese army feels extraordinarily wonderful, this is the first time he has taken so many troops out of the battle, sandwiched in the middle of the team, to put it bluntly, in addition to being able to see the hundreds of people in front and back, his 20,000 troops are drowned in the banner and flying dust, and there is no one to see, let alone give orders.

At this time, it is necessary to send scouts to roam around and reconnoitre, otherwise as long as there is a surprise attack, it will be a helpless ending, at this time Cao Pi also understood why there are so many examples of winning more with less in the era of cold weapons, first of all, if the reconnaissance is not done well, his mighty 20,000 troops may be scattered even if they encounter a thousand elite soldiers, not to mention any tactics such as luring the enemy, fire attack, and ambush, so this time Cao Pi walked very slowly, and the tiger and leopard cavalry reconnoitred far away, and he didn't want to be the target of Yuan Shang's ambush.

Cao Pi's approach proved to be correct, because on the way, the tiger and leopard cavalry did find three teams ambushed in the mountains and forests of Chidao, two of which were more than 1,000 people, and one was an army of 500 people. Cao Pi immediately stopped marching after discovering the ambush, and then sent Gao Ran to command 3,000 soldiers to invite the other party, but the other party fled as fast as possible, and most of the places where there was no gallop in the north were plains, and they ran very fast, Gao Ran did not dare to go too far from the large army, and returned to the army after chasing out for a while.

The first two ambush soldiers of more than 1,000 people ran away under Cao Pi's nose in this way, and when he found the third army of 500 people, Cao Pi immediately sent Cao Xiu with 500 tigers and leopards to ride over, followed by Qiang Doutun, and then ordered Gao Shun and Yu Yu to quickly follow with 1,000 infantry. At this time, the 500 ambush soldiers could not escape, and after being killed and wounded more than 300 people, the generals who led the army surrendered, and Cao Xiu did not die on the tiger and leopard horse, and only a dozen or so people fell off their horses because their mounts were injured by stray arrows and were slightly injured. Qiang Doutun killed five people and wounded six, all of them lightly, which surprised Cao Pi, and specially called Wang Shuang to commend him, as for the infantry that followed the heaviest losses, 53 dead and wounded.

The commander of the surrendered ambush was named Yin Kui, a thirty-year-old man from the North, who had been tied up by five flowers when he was pulled in front of Cao Pi, and he still had a knife on his body, needless to say, it was a masterpiece of tiger and leopard riding.

Cao Pi looked at this person and smiled: "You are under Yuan Shang's command?" Don't know what to do? ”

"Yuzhou Thorn History." Yin Kui replied with his head down.

Cao Pi smiled and said to the left and right: "Yuzhou has never been in the hands of the Yuan family, and this thorn history has actually been sealed. Then he said to Yin Kui: "It seems that Yuan Shang is not very good to you, so he gave you 500 people to ambush, my army has 500 cavalry, 8,000 armor soldiers, and 16,000 people, didn't you send sheep into the tiger's mouth with only 500 people?" ”

Yin Kui replied: "These 500 people are the elite soldiers of the first camp left by Ju Yi, used for surprise attacks and beheading, everyone has a ring head knife and a strong crossbow in their hands, when Gongsun Bogui nearly 10,000 cavalry were defeated by the hands of 2,000 first camp, but I didn't expect the cavalry under the command of Zhijin Wu to be so good at fighting, and they didn't kill a single person." ”

Cao Xiu on the side sneered: "My tiger and leopard riding is the world's sharpest, everyone riding skills are unparalleled, even if you are wearing heavy armor in the rain of arrows, you can advance and retreat freely, only five hundred strong crossbows, after avoiding a wave, you can come to you, how can you kill my tiger and leopard riding." ”

"The Jinwu soldiers are strong and strong, and the heavens are powerful to go north, and the generals of the defeated army are subdued, and they are willing to drive the Jinwu." Yin Kui said.

"Willing to drive me? Then take off your armor and go back to Yuan Shang's camp, and tell him that outside the plain city, Cao Zihuan wants to compete with him. ”
