A few days later, on a sunny and lovely day, the main force of the county soldiers was still stationed in Suojube, and Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, who was busy contacting the officials of various counties and counties in Yanzhou, and temporarily decided to hold a small-scale field banquet to welcome a famous man from the imperial court.

Qiao Mao, as the Taishou of a county, the 2,000 stone important ministers of the imperial court, the person who can be solemnly entertained by him, of course, will not be a nameless. This famous man who has just resigned from the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo and returned to his hometown has a very remote surname: Bian.

The surname Bian Ming, the one with the word Wenli, is Chen Liujunyi. When he was young, Bian Rang was known for his erudition and eloquence, as well as his literary talents, and he was very famous in Yanzhou. Later, he wrote a "Zhang Hua Fu", which surprised the great Confucian Cai Yong, so that he accepted Bian Rang as a disciple, so he became famous for a while.

When he was in Emperor Ling, the general He Jin was famous in the government and the opposition with Bian Rang, and recruited him as the history of the order in the name of consulting the military. Later, Jiujiang County became vacant, and Bian Rang was recommended by He Jin as the Taishou of Jiujiang. Two years later, Bian Rang was promoted to Beijing again with his merits in governing the local area. With this status, he can be described as a representative of Yanzhou scholars. If Qiao Mao can get the support of Bian Rang, drive away Liu Dai, and seize the Yanzhou assassination history, he will have a greater certainty.

Bian Rang and Qiao Mao once had a relationship. This time, I let the abandoned officials return to their hometowns and pass through sour dates, just to visit Qiaomao, which has become increasingly famous in Yanzhou recently. Such important people passing by, and Qiaomao, who is aiming at the history of Yanzhou, of course, cannot be missed. Therefore, in order to receive distinguished guests, Qiao Mao actually left the military affairs alone, and specially selected a pavilion with a beautiful scenery five miles outside the barracks, so as to let the wine catch the wind, and enjoy the wind and scenery to talk about the world's major events.

Although it is wartime now, the sour jujube is extremely far away from Xingyang, where Dong Zhuojun's general Xu Rong is stationed. On the road to sour jujube in Xingyang. There are more than four outposts and forts to keep watch. Therefore, Qiao Mao was not worried about the sudden appearance of the Liangzhou army in the distance and launched an attack on his side.

Of course, in order to deal with safety, just in case, Qiao Mao still sent a powerful general. led a thousand elite soldiers, scattered two hundred paces around the pavilion, serving as a guard. However, in order to prevent those Qiu Ba who did not know how to appreciate the scenery and walked around, which affected the Yaxing of the county guards and celebrities, Qiao Mao ordered that the soldiers had to lurk and squat aside.

Qiao Mao is good at handing over scholars. Maintain connections among officials at all levels, and mix like a fish in water in officialdom. However, he is obviously not very familiar with the military side. In the army, Qiao Mao is only in charge of two things, one is the consumption of money and food, and the other is the appointment of officers. As for training, patrolling. Encampment, enforcing military law, or other miscellaneous things. The bridges were all handed over to the officers who were close to them.

As for the principles on which he appointed the positions in the army?

Of course, it depends on the relationship with Qiao Mao. Can you expect a commander-in-chief who knows nothing about military affairs to be able to discern who is a military expert and to take sound military advice?

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Qiao Mao is extremely suspicious. Let's just talk about the 1,000 people who were sent out today to carry out important vigilance missions. In order not to disturb the wine of the county guard, many soldiers simply ran to a place four or five hundred paces away from the banquet pavilion and took out the wine, meat and dice brought out from the camp, and ate and drank while having fun, so as to kill the boring time in the wilderness.

So. These soldiers are so relaxed, won't their commanders take care of it?

In this regard, the soldiers who were spending time were not worried at all. After arranging the general defense points, the battalion commander of the 1,000-strong man immediately ran to a nearby "li" to find a young friend he had just gotten his hands on.

A small number of unlucky people who were drawn during the draw of lots, watching their comrades hiding in the shadows eating and playing, naturally did not have the heart to sentry. In their opinion, with the tens of thousands of troops stationed in the camp next to them, it is enough to deter those thieves who want to plot against the rebels. If there is really an eyeless thief who bumps into him, as soon as the tens of thousands of troops in the camp are dispatched, they will inevitably be able to beat the other party to the ground and flee in embarrassment.

Of course, there are also a few soldiers with keen senses, looking at the sunny sky and sending such a good day, which is not only suitable for banqueting guests and friends, but also very suitable for raiding and breaking the formation.

Well, most of the people who have such thoughts are spat out by their peers, scolding them for "worrying about the sky", and then throwing such boring thoughts aside.

At this moment, a bored soldier inadvertently glanced to the west, and suddenly, as if the wind had pumped, pointed ahead, opened his mouth, and was speechless.

When the other soldiers saw his strange appearance, they turned their heads curiously, and immediately shouted in panic:

"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! ”

The enemy was a group of cavalry. Since they increased the speed of the horse to the maximum, the time left for the Qiao Mao army to face the battle was obviously not enough. To make matters worse, because the presence of the enemy in the Qiaomao army was unprepared, many people did not react even after someone raised the alarm of an enemy attack.

When the enemy cavalry, which numbered no more than a few dozen, easily broke through the outpost of the Qiaomao army, most of the soldiers did not even have their weapons. Until the other party rushed all the way out of the pavilion smoothly, the Qiao Mao Army, who was responsible for guarding and defending the mission, was still in a mess, like a swarm of headless flies.

Who are these cavalrymen who suddenly appeared?

The chaotic Qiao Mao Army naturally thought about this question in his heart. However, they will not have a chance to know the answer to this question.

Of course, some officials must have guessed the origin of these cavalry. Yes, these cavalry are the elite soldiers of Cao Cao's cronies who are personally led by Cao Cao and want to take Qiao Mao's life!

Cao Cao's appearance means that he is carrying out a nirvana mission assigned by Yuan Shao.

With a group of brothers such as Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, Cao Cao only led forty elite soldiers, and with the reliable information he received from Liu Dai, he successfully broke into the scene of Qiaomao's banquet when the Dongjun soldiers who were squatting were defenseless.

At that time, in order to avoid revealing their identities, Cao Cao and his group all covered their faces with black scarves, and their bodies were covered with armor common to the Liangzhou army.

Due to Cao Cao's special figure, in order to avoid being recognized by acquaintances, he only shrank behind a group of brothers in this battle to command remotely. The temporary commander of this raid was Xiahoudun.

At this point, the bold surprise attack planned by Cao Cao was basically successful. At this moment, what Cao Cao's army still needs to face is only the last thin line of defense of the Qiao Mao army.

One of Qiao Mao's personal generals, with more than a dozen samurai, guarded under the pavilion in civilian clothes. These samurai are all strong men in the army who kill more than ten people. If it is against ordinary soldiers, they can also show their bravery. It's a pity that in front of Cao Cao's group of brothers who are at least at the level of "Thousand People Broken", they are completely vulnerable.

Xiahou Yuan alone killed three people with three arrows and stabbed two people to death with two shots in just a few breaths. The rest of Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and others didn't have to do anything at all, and they killed all the remaining warriors.

Among them, Cao Cao was not idle, waving the double halberd in his hand, slashing through the throats of the two warriors from the horse, revealing his extremely strong skills. Because of his stature rather diminutive in the crowd, he was noticed by a well-mannered scribe in the pavilion, who gave him a second look.

This handsome celebrity, of course, is the protagonist of this banquet, Chen Liuren.

The bloody massacre that took place outside the pavilion made all the people who attended the banquet panic. Especially the host of the banquet, Qiao Mao, he has always been conceited and bold, even if he forged the letter of the third prince, he just took it as if he was idle. However, in the face of those bloody knives and guns not far away, Qiao Mao realized that he also had something to fear.

Before Qiao Mao could react, Xiahou Xuan, who had already cultivated to the level of quasi-"Ten Thousand Enemies", jumped off his horse, strode into the pavilion, shouted, and stabbed out a shot, stabbing the dignified Han 2,000-stone county guard, stabbing his heart cold!

After killing Qiao Mao, Cao Cao and his gang slaughtered all the accompanying guests present. Except for two or three people who reacted quickly enough and jumped into the water next to the pavilion in time to avoid being slaughtered on the spot, the rest of the people could not escape death. After doing these things, Cao Cao didn't stop, and immediately left with his elite subordinates.

When Cao Cao's army stepped on horseback and announced their evacuation with a loud sound of horses' hooves, a man with a disheveled head quietly poked his head out of the reeds by the pond, and looked at the appearance of those murderers with a frightened and hateful gaze, as if he wanted to engrave their appearance in his heart.

Qiao Mao's troops at the scene were more than five times that of Cao Cao, but because of the negligence in training, the team was not organized, and the county soldiers were killed, and there was no organization.

In this battle, Cao Cao's forty people did not break one person and one horse, and killed more than 30 people below the Taishou Bridge of Dongjun, which can be described as a complete victory!

After Cao Cao's army left, the generals and colonels of the Dongjun County who gathered around Qiao Mao's corpse did not come to a clear conclusion about the killing of the master, and they were immediately surrounded by another group of Han troops.

The one who surrounded the soldiers of Dongjun County was none other than the Yanzhou Prefecture Division under Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou.

The Yanzhou Prefecture Division under Liu Dai did not have as many troops as the Dongjun County in terms of the number of troops. However, Liu Dai took advantage of the death of the opponent's master and completely suppressed the Dongjun soldiers. Under the leaderless group of dragons, the soldiers of Dongjun had no intention or ability to resist, so they had to be obediently absorbed by Liu Dai. As a result, the direct strength of Liu Dai's subordinates suddenly doubled. This is undoubtedly excellent news for Liu Dai to control the situation in Yanzhou. (To be continued......)
