Because of Chen Qi's professional needs, he is very good at recognizing people's faces. And the point that Chen Qi is most proud of is that he has eight townships, thirty-three pavilions, and one hundred and four miles under the jurisdiction of Yuancheng County, which can be described as a clear door. Almost all the villagers in the county who are a little famous, Chen Qi has a vague impression in his mind.

Like the twenty or thirty sturdy and fierce men outside the city, if Chen Qi had seen them before, he would never have no impression of such figures. Therefore, most of these big men who seem to have seen blood are definitely not locals. Even if these guys used all kinds of daily utensils, disguising themselves as vegetable sellers, passing merchants, horse dealers, homeless people, etc., Chen Qi could smell the murderous aura coming out of the barracks on these guys even if he just smelled them with his nose.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi's body suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. What else can such a group of tigers and wolves do in a key place like the city gate?

Chen Qi hurriedly urged the entourage behind him and quickened the donkey's forward pace. These guys are not easy to get along with. In case they find out that they have seen through them, they are afraid that these soldiers and ruffians will be able to cut him into eight pieces in the blink of an eye.

As for exposing them and avoiding the fall of the city gates?

Well, Chen Qi's loyalty to the new county order has not yet reached this point. Before he was safely removed, Chen Qi expressed his gratitude for any actions that might lead to death. He has no friendship with Lao Xia, who is guarding the city, and has no intention of sacrificing himself. The life and death of the defender of the city depends on his own fortunes.

"That guy sees us!"

Just as Chen Qi was leaving, a horse seller who was guarding outside the city gate whispered to a nearby vegetable seller.

"I'm afraid! That guy didn't dare to say it! ”

The vegetable seller glanced at Chen Qi's back, and said to the horse seller with a reassuring nature:

"Besides, if you don't say it just now, it's useless to say it later!"

Just a few words. The vegetable seller took out the round stick he was using to pick vegetables, took it out of the vegetable basket again, and made a secret signal to his companions:

"It's in town!"

With a shout, the crowd that was originally guarding the city gate became a little confused. Lao Xia, the city gate official, didn't realize that these mud-legged people actually wanted to squeeze into the city gate, so he suddenly lowered his face and yelled:

"Do what you do! Stand back! The hour hasn't come yet! ”

But. Lao Xia's words did not help the small chaos that suddenly appeared at the city gate. Seeing this scene, the officials who were in charge of collecting the entry tax into the city were also quick with their hands and feet, and they actually set up the money box and began to reach out to collect taxes. This person has a good relationship with Lao Xia, and the two of them are greedy for the entry tax collected by Mo. Since he did so, Lao Xia shook his head and stopped blocking those who entered the city.

However, Lao Xia shook his head. It was actually the last action he made in his life. Suddenly, a spear stabbed into Lao Xia's chest accurately, stabbing his heart through the cold. Immediately after, a voice shouted:

"Wang Shi went north to pacify the thieves in Jizhou! Death to the thief! ”

The sudden change surprised all the city guards. The tax collector was surprised, threw the money box, and was about to turn around and run away. But after a bowstring sounded, he was shot in the neck by a long arrow. He fell to the ground without saying a word. By the time someone came to their senses, the raiders had taken control of the city gates. Except for a few two or three defenders who escaped, the rest of the guards at the city gate, as well as a few villagers who were crowded at the gate and wanted to enter the city as soon as possible, had already become dead souls under the sword.

"They all say how arrogant that guy is. In today's view, it is not enough. ”

A vegetable seller with a spear in his hand slowly took out a pair of iron-clad armor from the vegetable basket and hung it, and said with a smile to his comrades beside him. At the moment, on the tower of the city gate. Someone lit a pile of wolf smoke and announced the news of the successful seizure of the door to the ambush soldiers in the distance.

It was only a moment before the wolf smoke rose before there was a response. When the county soldiers and officials in the county finally reacted, and under the personal leadership of the frightened county order, they came to the city gate in groups and wanted to recapture the city gate, a team of more than 100 cavalry rushed into the city of Yuancheng with great momentum.

Just the moment they saw the appearance of the well-equipped and powerful cavalry, the morale of the county soldiers and officials, who had already belonged to the hastily organized, immediately plummeted. The cavalry launched a single charge and threatened to crush the rabble defenders!

Then, another half hour passed. The enemies who suddenly appeared were still guarding the gates, and there was no next move. This scene made the citizens in the city gradually probe their brains again.

On the grounds that the enemy was outnumbered, the prefectural commander finally organized a large army of 1,000 men again and wanted to recapture the city gate, but he ran head-on with a regular army of thousands. Seeing the mighty approach of the legion under the banner of "Cao", the defenders in Yuancheng automatically collapsed again. This kind of farce several times made the young military general with a spear look very depressed.

"Don't you dare to rush up and fight?"

The young military general was complaining, and a strong hand on the side suddenly dragged him aside.

"Xiu Su, and Man Cheng, come and go with a certain family to see the eldest brother!"

It was the commander of the cavalry who spoke. This big man, who looked quite short and strong, was holding a young military general in one hand and walked towards the location of the main general of the army. Although the commander of this army is short in stature, he is very angry, and at a glance he knows that he belongs to the high-ranking officials and princes who have been in the top positions for a long time. Such a distinctive army commander, in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, who else would there be besides Cao Cao and Cao Mengde?

"Big brother!"

The short and strong military general came to Cao Cao and gave a military salute.

"Well done, Zilian. There are also two 'General Li', Captain Li, you are a family of Jiangmen! ”

Zilian is the character of Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Hong. Cao Cao praised Cao Hong, and by the way, he also complimented a general with a bit of literati atmosphere next to him.

This bookish general is an important general under Cao Cao, with more than 3,000 parts, and can be called one of the most powerful generals under Cao Cao. This person's surname is Li Mingqian, and his reputation is not obvious in the official history, and he died early. According to historical records, his son Li Quan is also a generation of heroes, and he did a very important job of Qingzhou Assassin History under Cao Cao, but unfortunately, he died very early.

In the end, the Li family that Li Gan and Li Quan, father and son pulled together, fell into the hands of his nephew Li Dian after the death of the main son one after another, and finally achieved Li Dian's reputation under Cao Cao as no less than that of the "Five Sons and Good Generals". It's just that Li Dian also died early later, I don't know if it's because their Li clan has a short-lived inheritance.

Of course, because of the arrogance of the falsifier of history, Li Gan in this time and space was luckier than recorded in the history books, and he was still alive at this time, and his son Li Cheng was also alive and well. As a result, Li Dian, the "famous general of the Great Wei", was still working under his uncle and cousin, and failed to take charge of himself. Fortunately, Li Dian's ability is there, and he will have a bright future after all. The task of seizing the city gate this time was completed by Li Quan and Li Dian with the assistance of cavalry Sima Cao Hong.

"Uncle Fang has won the award."

Li Gan's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was quite a Confucian general.

"Our army has captured Yuancheng as promised, but I don't know if everything is going well with King Chen and General Sun?"

"Captain Li doesn't have to worry too much. Chen Wang Bingjia is famous for his strong armor, and Sun Bofu is fierce and invincible. The two powerhouses dealt with a mere yellow turban remnant, and they were simply able to catch it. ”

Cao Cao's answer was full of confidence. This self-confidence also infected the rest of the officers and men in the army, and the morale became more and more high.

"Herald! Let Zixiao [Cao Ren] lead the headquarters into the city. The rest will be dispatched with me to intercept the poisonous remnants! ”

After saying that, Cao Cao turned his horse's head and led the army to the south of Yuancheng. However, he didn't go far before he saw a number of sporadic and terrified defeated enemy troops, groups of Chaoyuan City rushing towards him.

Although Cao Cao didn't care about these automatic feats, he had no intention of preventing his subordinates from harvesting. So, after getting Cao Cao's consent, Cao Xiu, the rising star of the Cao family, happily took his cavalry out to harvest heads. Cao Xiu's treatment made the rest of the soldiers quite envious.

He didn't travel more than a few miles, but he saw a fast horse coming from the direction of the battlefield ahead. The messenger on the horse came to Cao Cao all the way and proclaimed loudly:

"Report to Cao Zhoumu, my prince and General Sun have completely defeated the enemy, beheaded the enemy and his lieutenants, beheaded more than 1,000 people, and captured more than 2,000 prisoners!"

Although he had confidence in Chen Wang Liu Chong and Sun Ce, the battle report sent by the messenger made Cao Cao feel a little surprised. Although Yu Poison's subordinates are not taken seriously under Zhang Qiang, he is just a school captain, after all, he is the leader of the old Yellow Turban thieves who rebelled since the Zhongping period. This wingman's ability to fight may not be good, but his kung fu of escaping for his life is first-class. Cao Cao had fought with him many times in Yanzhou before, and he had repeatedly fought this battle, but he never won this wing.

There is also Yu Poison's deputy general, I heard that he is one of the "Eight Eagles of Bingzhou" who is very famous among the new generation of generals under Zhang Mad. The "Eight Eagles of Bingzhou" are all from the "Sixteen Young Eagles" that were personally lit by Zhang Mad that year, and after many years of fighting, the eight who are still alive in the world belong to the military generals who are Zhang Ma's cronies.

Unexpectedly, two thieves with considerable weight were killed together in this battle. I think that after getting the news of this battle, most of them will be furious, right?

So, how did this sudden attack against insolence come about?

This is said from Cao Cao's previous learning that the reinforcements of King Chen, Liu Chong and Sun Ce had arrived. (To be continued......)
