In March of the eighteenth year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Cao Ying led the army belatedly, and after meeting Xiahou Xuan's army, Cao Ying's soldiers were brave and brave, and there were as many as 120,000 soldiers alone, among which all kinds of elite troops of Cao's army were all in addition to Xiahou Tiger Cavalry. Leaving Zang Ba and Sun Guan to lead 13,000 men and horses to guard Liyang, the rest of the men and horses all followed Cao Ying and went straight to Hefei.

On the avenue of Huainan, a black torrent moved forward in an orderly manner, completely ignoring the flowers blooming on the side of the road. More than ten years ago, Cao Ying personally led troops to Huainan when he conquered Yuan Shu, when he was only the one who was not strong among the warlords of the Han Dynasty, and now he has revisited the old place, he Cao Ying has transformed into the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the most powerful force in the world.

"General Gongsun, do you know the deployment of Hefei Qiaoren?" On top of the car, Cao Ying, who was dressed in a red black waiting suit, asked seemingly unintentionally.

Gongsun Yang, who rode a big horse and walked behind Xu Chu, was appointed as a marquis of Guannei since he surrendered, and at this moment he also went out with the army, in fact, he was the one who led the way, and then he heard Cao Ying's question and hurriedly said: "Back to the prime minister, Hefei Qiao rebelled to 40,000 troops in the city, and also sent Dai Gang to lead 6,000 troops to be stationed in Jiming Mountain in the east of Hefei City to build dock forts, passes, and Hefei City to guard the horns. ”

I have to say that the information in Gongsun Yang's mouth is far more detailed than Cao Jun's own inquiry, which is also the reason why Cao Ying will leave such a waste.

"Chicken Song Mountain? Where is Wen Yuan? ”

At this time, a general with a face like purple jade turned around, leaned over and said, "Here!" ”

Cao Ying looked at this beloved general, and was not sad or happy in his heart, although Zhang Liao lost Hefei, and he also lost troops under Qiao Ren, but Cao Ying knew that this did not mean that Zhang Liao's ability was not good, but that Qiao Ren was too powerful, and now Qiao Ren is no less than Zhou Yu in the hearts of Cao Ying and even Cao Jun's generals.

"Wenyuan, I will give you 1,000 tiger guards and 3,000 soldiers, and I will also order Cao Xiu to lead 600 leopard cavalry to accompany you, and take the Jiming Mountain Walled City within three days." Cao Ying gently stroked his long beard, and his eyes flickered.

"Whoa!" Zhang Liao was in an extremely excited mood at the moment, he was beaten by Qiao Ren into a bare-bones commander in the first battle of Hefei, not only did the famous Bingzhou Iron Cavalry no longer exist, but there was not a single soldier under his command, and the two thousand Huainan soldiers originally brought out were all given to Li Dian, and now Cao Ying allocated him such an elite army, which is a good opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions.

It must be known that the Tiger Guard is not available to any general. The Tiger Guard, or the name that follows the Han Dynasty, is called the Tiger Guard, which is the elite of the "Su Guard" of the Wei State, and was once led by the Tiger Idiot "Xu Chu" of the General Wuwei, known as the "Tiger Guard". There is no need to doubt the strength of its combat effectiveness, when it comes to conquest, it often takes the lead in charging into battle, and its military achievements are impressive, and only the general or the commander of the field can get Cao Ying's permission to use it. And the tiger and leopard cavalry is the first cavalry in the world, and Cao Xiu is also the most suitable cavalry governor for the tiger and leopard cavalry after Cao Chun. With such a powerful army, if Zhang Liao still couldn't take the Jiming Mountain Walled City garrisoned by a mere 6,000 Wu troops, he would probably choose to find a piece of tofu and kill him.

"Wenyuan." Xu Chu, the taciturn general of the guards on the side, said: "The second battalion is the most elite among the tiger guards, and they are all the children of my Xu family. ”

Although Xu Chu is only loyal to Cao Ying, and even the face of the Cao family leader like Cao Ren can not be bought, but after all, he is also a general with a foreign surname, and the relationship between the two is still quite good for Zhang Liao, the pillar of the general with a foreign surname, so he helped Zhang Liao at a critical moment. Tiger Guard and Qingzhou soldiers are a little similar is pride, Qingzhou soldiers are only loyal to Cao Ying, and only Xiahoudun can command. And Huwei is only loyal to Cao Ying, and only Xu Chu can command. That's why Xu Chu selected the second battalion formed by the children of his clan to Zhang Liao, so that he could command.

In ancient times, the pass was actually more like a purely militarized fortress city, such as the two major Xiongguan of the Luoyang barrier, one was the water and the other was the tiger prison, which was actually two majestic cities. But the walled city of Jiming Mountain has only been seen for a few months, and the mountain is not as steep as Luoyang, so the walled city of Jiming Mountain is said to be a pass, but it is actually more like a cottage, and Dai Gang and his six thousand soldiers are stationed here.

Zhang Liao's army only walked a day's journey, and then came to the village outside Jiming Mountain, the next morning Zhang Liao let the soldiers have a full meal, led the army to the outside of the village, looked at the Jiming Mountain Walled City in front of him from afar, it was full of wooden structures, although there were countless arrow towers, but it was not very reliable.

The army is arrayed, the square circle is dense, the military appearance is neat, the flag is displayed, and the wall gate is shining with Dai Gangjing, "Humane Zhang Liao is the general of the tiger and wolf, this time, the result is worthy of the name!" ”

"And what is the general going to do?" Liuzan, who was also dressed in scale armor on the side, said.

"Huh!" Dai Gang couldn't help but be happy, "How else can you resist the withdrawal of the army?" ”

"What? General, our army is still above Cao's army, why do you easily give up the stockade and withdraw the army? "After Liuzan was injured in the battle of Shucheng and Lejin, he has been treated in Shucheng, and he was appointed as a lieutenant of the military academy as Dai Gang's subordinate after recovering from his injuries last year, but he did not participate in the battle of Hefei, and he was not familiar with Zhang Liao.

Seeing this, Dai Gang also patiently explained: "Zhang Wenyuan is both wise and brave, and it is difficult to deal with. Then you see, there is an infantry in the enemy's army, and thousands of people are wearing heavy armor and eight feet tall. There are also 600 tigers and leopards riding on both wings, which is enough to prove that Cao Ying is determined to win our village. Therefore, the majority of the governors ordered us to hold on for a while, the purpose was only to hinder the speed of Cao's army and wait for the lord's army. In this case, the main thing should be to preserve strength. ”

When Liuzan heard this, he also felt that it was like that, so he didn't insist on it, and asked, "I don't know how the general plans to delay it?" ”

Dai Gang smiled slightly: "If you want to preserve your strength to the maximum, it is nothing more than me going to fight against Zhang Wenyuan." Zhengming, you and Fei Mu stay here and be careful! Ma Zhong went to battle with Ben General. ”

Yu Bi a young general walked out, looking at the age of about a year younger than Dai Gang, this person is the famous general killer of later generations, first capture Guan Yu and then shoot Huang Zhong's Wu general Ma Zhong, at this time he is still a lieutenant under Dai Gang, Dai Gang saw that he was good at martial arts and took it with him.

"Where is Zhang Liaopifu? Dare you fight me to the death! Dai Gang only brought hundreds of Lujiang Shangjia to the walled gate and shouted at Cao Jun's military array.

"What an arrogant horseman! Prepare the horses! Zhang Liao was murderous, laughed angrily, and snatched the blade from his own soldiers, "Let me see what this Huaiyin Dai Gang is capable of!" ”

"Why should the general be angry, and let the last general capture this Dai Gang child alive and sacrifice it to the general!" Zhang Liao's temporary deputy general Zhao Wei said.

"Humph!" Cao Xiu, who was behind Zhang Liao, snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Do you think you are even more powerful than General Gao Lan?" Don't be embarrassed here, and don't back down. ”

Yes, Gao Ran, who was in the Four Courtyards of Hebei, died at the hands of Dai Gang, and Zhao Wei, who had seen the Battle of Dangyang, saw Gao Ran retreat under Zhao Yun, but now he died at the hands of Dai Gang, doesn't it mean that Dai Gang is even more powerful than Zhao Yun, thinking of this, Zhao Wei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"The last general, Meng Lang!"

Seeing that Zhao Wei, who couldn't get on the stage, retreated, Cao Xiu said: "General Zhang's martial arts are outstanding, and if he is not under his uncle, he will definitely be able to kill this yellow-mouthed child. ”

The uncle in Cao Xiu's mouth naturally cannot be Cao Hong, but Cao Ren. But to be honest, Cao Ren's martial arts are still worse than Zhang Liao, but when it comes to bravery, Cao Ren is even better.
