One hundred and forty Qingzhou soldiers

"Metropolitan Governor, Cao Jun has moved!"

The empty Hefei meeting hall became no longer cold because of Zhang Wen's voice, Qiao Ren, who was still thinking, also put down his thoughts when he heard Zhang Wen's words, stood up, twisted his sore old waist for a long time, and asked while moving his muscles and bones: "How is it exactly?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun as the vanguard in Shouchun, and came with an army of 40,000!" Zhang Wen said.

"Xiahoudun?" Qiao Ren felt strange in his heart, since Xiahoudun broke one eye, he has rarely been a pioneer, of course, there is also a reason why his official position is getting higher and higher, and Xiahoudun only has 7,000 Qingzhou soldiers under him in Shouchun, how can there be as many as 40,000 people. "Do you know who the general of the army is?"

Now it is difficult for Zhang Wen, the leading general is Xiahou Dun's soldiers, and there are 40,000 of them, all of which he has worked hard to deduce through different intelligence, at this time Qiao Ren asked him about the generals of the army, and Zhang Wen had to go through the information again in his mind.

After about three minutes, Zhang Wen said leisurely: "The generals of the accompanying army probably include Li Dian, Xiahou Ru, Le Jin, Yu Ban and Zhu Ling. ”

Not to mention these Zhu Ling and Yu Ban, Li Dian and Le Jin only have more than 1,000 remaining horses, Xiahou Ru has no soldiers, and Zhu Ling and Yu Ban's headquarters are only more than 3,000 people, how did they gather these 40,000 troops. "Wait! Yu Ban and Xiahoudun jointly lead the troops? Qingzhou soldiers! "Qiao Ren almost roared!

"What did the Metropolitan Governor say?"

"There is only one army that needs to be commanded by Yu Ban and Xiahoudun together, Qingzhou soldiers!" Qiao Ren said in a more affirmative tone, seemingly questioning.

Zhang Wen also thought about it at this time and asked: "But in December of the third year of Chuping, the main force of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army that surrendered to Cao unconditionally. It is said that after surrendering, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, including their families, totaled more than one million people, including 300,000 who were in good health, and were organized as military tuns by Cao Cao. As for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which was not accepted as soldiers, they were incorporated into Mintun and concentrated on agricultural production as rear supplies. ”

Not only that, Cao Cao also selected 40,000 people from these 300,000 young men and organized them into a relatively independent legion ----Qingzhou soldiers! This army was commanded by Xiahoudun and trained by Yu Ban, and the father died and the son fought for generations, and only one person was loyal to Cao Cao. Therefore, this army was used as Cao Cao's Chinese army, and only Xiahou Dun, the first general of Cao's army, could command this army. ”

"Shhh Rao is accustomed to seeing the world Zhang Wen can't help but gasp, with the world's elite Qingzhou soldiers as the vanguard, the head of the Cao army Xiahoudun, with two of the five good generals and Zhu Ling and Li Dian who are no less than the five sons, so the lineup is just a vanguard! It can be seen how impatient Cao Cao's mind is.

"Suffered!" Qiao Ren suddenly screamed, waking up Zhang Wen, who was pondering. However, Qiao Ren couldn't care about this, he hurriedly said: "Huishu, pass on my military order, and order General Huang to lead his headquarters to Liyang to pick up Sun Shao!" ”

Hearing Qiao Ren's eager tone, Zhang Wen also reacted. Liyang and Hefei are each other's horns, the lake in the middle of the two cities and the Hengjiang water village, the whole defense system is perfect, but the defenders of Liyang are far inferior to Hefei, Cao Cao will take Liyang as a breakthrough, but the Cao army is three times that of the Wu army, and Qiao Ren can not divide the troops to weaken his own strength, so he only sent Huang Zhong to meet Sun Shao of Liyang, and he took the army to shrink in Hefei, relying on the city defense and the water army to deal with the Cao army, waiting for reinforcements.

The battle of Hefei is different from the Chibi in the past, Cao Cao gave up the long and the short during the battle of the red cliff, miscalculated the situation and wanted to win a decisive victory with the Wu army on the river, at this time it was simply impossible, even if the Western Jin Dynasty in later generations destroyed Wu was also with a strong national strength and then went together. The battle of Hefei this time was very different, the strongholds of the Wu army were hanging in the north of the river, although the river network was still dense, but there was no moat like the Yangtze River to guard, and it did not occupy a convenient place. It can be said that it is going to compete with Cao Jun head-on and confront him on land!

At this time, Zhang Wen also heard the seriousness of the problem, Xiahoudun's army had reached the three counties north of Liyang at the earliest, and it was only a matter of three days to arrive in Liyang. If, as Qiao Ren said, Xiahoudun's subordinates were Qingzhou soldiers, then Sun Shaoke of Liyang would not be able to hold out for long.

This Qingzhou soldier is the elite of the world who has defeated Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, the Danyang elite soldier who has defeated Tao Qian, the Baihao elite soldier who has defeated Liu Bei, the halberd warrior who has defeated Yuan Shao and the elite of the world's first dead soldiers.

With 4,000 soldiers in Liyang Sun Shao's district, in the absence of a general reserve, a city wall can also accommodate 1,000 soldiers, the gap is too big, in Zhang Wen's heart, Sun Shao can hold out for three days is already good.

The Qingzhou soldiers in Qiao Ren's mouth are wreaking havoc in the three counties northwest of Liyang at the moment. Xiahou Ru's 1,000 Qingzhou soldiers easily solved the 500 county soldiers stationed here and occupied these three counties, which only took two days, but at this time, Xiahou Ru finally understood why Cao Cao would not use Qingzhou soldiers casually.

The three counties, which were originally quite prosperous, were all in a sea of fire at this time, and the originally organized and disciplined Qingzhou soldiers seemed to have changed into an army after occupying the city. Burning, killing, looting and looting are all done, as if the yellow turbans that ravaged the Central Plains thirty years ago have returned.

And Xiahou Ru himself is a young general, and his official qualifications are small and pitiful, if he is not the son of Xiahou Tun, these Qingzhou soldiers are too lazy to pay attention to him, and at this moment it is the time for these soldiers to enjoy, how can Xiahou Ru give orders.

"General Xiahou, is this how you led the troops?" A bearded general wearing delicate fish scale armor said excitedly.

Just as he was talking, another Qingzhou soldier smiled lewdly and carried a young woman into the house, kneading the pair of jade rabbits as if no one was around.

Seeing this, the general was furious, and with a snort, he drew his sword and muttered, "Beast! After speaking, he had the intention of stepping forward to kill the soldier, and at that moment a big hand blocked his way.

"Wenbo, forget it!"

After Xiahou Ru saw the person who came, his heart finally let go, but he was scolded and scared by this long-bearded general, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, "This Qingzhou soldier is only loyal to the prime minister and only listens to his uncle's orders, what can I do?" ’

"Yu Wenze, is it just looking at it. This! ”

Yu Banyan smiled bitterly when he heard this, although he was the trainer of the Qingzhou soldiers, and he still managed the rest of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban troops with Xiahoudun, but these Qiu Ba were stunned and only listened to Cao Cao and Xiahoudun, what did he do. And because during the Battle of Wancheng, he had defeated these Qingzhou soldiers who did not obey military discipline, these guys hated him to the core, and there was no incense at all.

It seemed that he also saw the difficulty of the forbidden, and the long-bearded general sighed gloomily, "Hey! I'd better go and tell Zhengdong! ”

"Zhu Wenbo, just is easy to break. Hello do it yourself! ”

"I, Zhu Ling, are worthy of heaven and earth. There's nothing to be afraid of, Wen Ze, you better take care of these yellow scarves! ”
