Chapter 21 The Battle of Yanzhou 2 The second watch is coming

In the early morning of the next day, Lejin recruited more than 1,000 villagers to join the Cao army, and in the next few days, every day there were Hao clans leading troops to come, the Cao army was as strong as a day, only about half a month, the strength of the army was expanded by more than six times, if these new soldiers were only temporary recruits, then the camp must be chaotic at this time, and the wartime command will inevitably be slow to act.

But the current new troops are all led by the Hao family, not only well-trained, but also with a clear banner, the generals are complete, which is equivalent to a few more elite troops in plain white, and the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side is different, they not only have to confront Cao Cao, but also divide the troops everywhere to ensure the supply of grain and grass, although they occupy half of Yanzhou, but many counties have not completely fallen, and there are still some Hao clans who are based on the city and occasionally come out to disturb the rear of the Yellow Turban Army.

If it weren't for the strength of the Yellow Turban Army, I was afraid that I would have already taken advantage of the victory and broken through the enemy camp.

On this day, the Cao army fought four more battles with the Yellow Turban Army, and returned home with great victories, and the soldiers of the whole battalion were all rejoicing and their morale was greatly boosted.

In the tent, everyone discussed the battle of the past few days, all of them smiled, when it came to the proud place, someone laughed, Cao Cao smiled silently, quietly looked at the generals in the main seat, and suddenly his eyes fell on the last general, this person looks quite ordinary, even slightly ugly, without the slightest general demeanor, the reason why he can attract Cao Cao's attention is not this strange appearance, but all the generals are smiling, only he is depressed.

This person is Le Jin, he has only been with Cao Cao for a short time, he has no military achievements, and because of his coarse appearance, his figure is not very heroic, so he was just arranged to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, although this task is also the top priority, but in today's battle, it is an idle errand:

The Yellow Turban Army was completely blocked to the east of Shouzhang, even if the troops were separated, they were thousands of miles away from the supply line, and the grain road was full of the territory of the wealthy families in various counties, and there were people to escort everywhere they went.

Cao Cao saw this scene in his eyes, pretending not to know, he coughed lightly twice, and the generals hurriedly put away their smiles, and waited for them, only to hear Cao Cao say: "Now that the enemy and I have changed positions, our army has won consecutive battles, and the morale is like a rainbow, but there are many thieves, but it is difficult to defeat for a while, I am afraid that it will change over time, I don't know if the generals can have a good strategy and can retreat the enemy as soon as possible?" ”

Cao Hong took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the two armies are fighting to defeat the enemy's morale, and kill the enemy army is the bottom, the last general thinks that he should take advantage of the victory to pursue, and now the enemy army is defeated and demoralized, if our army launches a night attack, it will definitely be able to surprise and work wonders!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Zilian's words are quite in line with the art of war, tonight you will lead a thousand light cavalry to attack the enemy camp at night, and I will lead the army to respond in the rear!" ”

Cao Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, bowed down and said, "Thank you, the last general will take the order!" After speaking, he retreated to the side, looking at the envy on the faces of the generals, and his heart was very proud.

Cao Cao said again: "Although tonight's night attack can severely demoralize the enemy, it is difficult to hurt its roots, I don't know who has a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Although the generals are good at marching and fighting, they are only generals, and rarely participate in large-scale battles, so they have little experience, and they have no good strategy for a while when they are questioned by Cao Cao.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Gong took a step forward and said: "My lord, if General Zilian succeeds in a surprise attack tonight, he may have a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but this plan is too dangerous, and a fierce general is needed to succeed!" He explained the strategy in detail, only to hear Cao Cao nodding again and again, clapping his hands, and he said to the generals in the tent: "Who dares to take on this important task?" ”

The generals came forward one after another to ask for orders, and for a while the crowd was full of voices.

Cao Cao lightly twisted his beard and said with a smile: "This time, I will hand it over to Wen Qian (Le Jinzi) to lead the troops!" ”

When the generals heard that Cao Cao had entrusted this important task to the grain governor, they couldn't help but be disappointed, seeing that Le Jin was short-sighted, and they were quite disdainful in their hearts, but the military order was like a mountain, even if they looked down on Le Jin, they didn't dare to disobey Cao Cao's intentions, so they had to return to their respective positions, and their expressions were quite disapproving.

Chen Gong naturally understood Cao Cao's intentions, he bowed down and said: "The lord is wise, this plan needs to go deep into the enemy camp, not only requires the general of the commander to be brave, but also should be a fresh face, now only General Wen Qian rarely meets the Yellow Turban thief Kou, and he is also the best candidate!" ”

In fact, Chen Gong wanted to say that the person who commanded the army should not only be brave, but also coarse-looking, similar to a thief, in order to succeed, but now that he is discussing the military, how can he be outspoken? But seeing that Cao Cao chose Lejin, he liked it very much.

Le Jin never thought that Cao Cao and Chen Gong would hand over such an important position to himself, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "Thanks to the lord's attention, the last general will definitely live up to his mission, so that the thief can't see a clue!" He was excited in his heart, and he swept the expressions of the generals, and paused: "The last general is willing to make a military order!" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "The military order is dismissed, this is a very important matter, the generals must act according to the plan, if anyone dares to disobey the military order, or deliberately delay, I will severely punish it!" What followed was a series of orders, and the generals were gearing up to fight the thieves to the death as soon as possible.

That night, the Yellow Turban Marshal's tent was brightly lit, and Deng Yi kept pacing with his hands behind his back in the tent, upset.

He felt that he had the ability to predict the future, a few months ago, he had a dream, and saw that the great sage and good teacher entrusted all the Yellow Turban Army of the Central Plains to himself, and was named the general of Tianxing, compared to the stars descending to earth, awarded the nine-section scepter, the next day he woke up from the dream, and saw that there was a cane on the pillow, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

When I first entered Yanzhou, almost every battle was sure to be won, and the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army came one after another, and the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was like the sky, and no one could match.

But since the confrontation with Cao Cao in Shouzhang, he has always been unable to sleep and eat, and there is a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, especially tonight, he is very panicked, as if something big is going to happen.

Suddenly, a person opened the curtain and entered, and saw Deng Yi bowing and saluting: "I have seen General Tianxing below, I don't know what the general is calling for here?" This man was handsome, but his voice was quite feminine and tactful, and if it weren't for a wisp of green whiskers on his chin, he would have been mistaken for a woman with a slightly thicker voice.

Deng Yi frowned deeply and said: "I don't know why, I've been upset lately, it seems that something big is going to happen, Situ Protector, can you know the reason?" ”
