Chapter 167: Cao Cao's plan

Qian County, Yuan Shu's official residence.

Jin Shang's face was panicked, and he hurried into the inner hall.

Yuan Shu looked surprised and asked, "What is Yuan Xiu panicking about?" ”

Jin Shang said quickly: "Lord, something is wrong, Yang Zhai was attacked by the Xiliang army?" ”

"Yang Zhai?"

Yuan Shu was stunned at first, then shocked, and said sharply: "Is this serious? ”

Jin Shang nodded solemnly, "It's true!" ”

Yuan Shu said angrily: "Who did it? ”

Jin Shangdao: "According to the news from Yingchuan, it should have been done by the elusive Xiliang cavalry. ”

Yuan Shu was furious and said: "Dong Zhuo Pifu, I swear not to stand with you. ”

Jin Shang said quickly: "Lord, now that Yang Zhai is broken, the damn Xiliang cavalry has not held the city, and they have robbed money and grain, and even the family population has been robbed, and now Yingchuan is boiling and the sky is boiling, how can it be good?" ”

Yuan Shu's face turned blue and said: "Isn't the Xiliang cavalry in Nanyang, why did they go to Yingchuan again?" ”

Jin Shang hesitated: "This, I don't know below, after the Xiliang army disappeared near Yexian, I thought that I had returned to Wuguan, but who expected it to enter Yingchuan, and I don't know how this damn cavalry deceived our army scouts." ”

Yuan Shu's face was even more ugly, "The Xiliang army has attacked Yangzhai, and our army scouts have nothing to gain, it's really a rice bucket." ”

Jin Shang said with a bitter face: "Lord, although this Xiliang army only has a thousand horsemen, it is a lot of trouble, if you don't try to eradicate it, it will inevitably be turned upside down under the rule of the lord, and now the Yingchuan clan is already panicking." Families fleeing. ”

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said: "Let Lei Bo lead an army of 8,000 to Yingchuan and exterminate this damn Xiliang cavalry for General Ben." ”

Jin Shang reminded: "Lord, there are only 8,000 troops left in Qian County right now. ”

Yuan Shu was stunned. And he said, "Then take five thousand troops." ”

Jin Shang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Obey the order." ”

Yingchuan, panic spreads.

Yang Zhai was broken, and the gate valve of the Shi clan in Yingchuan was almost stunned.

What happened next, however, completely sparked panic.

One by one, the Zhuangzi were broken, the dock forts were robbed, and the landlords and squires of Yingchuan were no longer willing to sit still, and fled with their families to the nearby Runan, Chenliu and other places. Fleets of chariots and horses can be seen everywhere on the official road.

However, the catastrophe has only just begun.

These squires and landlords who fled with their families still did not escape the fate of being robbed, and the Xiliang cavalry would suddenly appear like a divine soldier descending from the sky every time. Then these landlords and squires who were about to flee to other places were blocked.

After Lei Bo led the 5,000 troops to Yingchuan, he couldn't find where the Xiliang cavalry was hiding. Lei Bo can't even eat ashes.

There were also scout spies who saw the Xiliang cavalry break the dock fort and enter. But after a few hours, when someone rushed out of the dock fort to flee for their lives, the Xiliang cavalry had long since disappeared, and such a strange thing was unheard of.

Thousands of cavalry, how could they just disappear under their noses.

Lei Bo was exhausted, and he was almost mad.

There was really no way, so I had to report the situation to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu jumped to scold his mother angrily. had to send all the cavalry out to search for the Xiliang army.

However. The 2,000 cavalry were divided into ten teams to search in a carpet way, but not only did they find nothing, but three teams of cavalry were eaten by the Xiliang cavalry, and when Lei Bo heard the news and led the army to arrive, the Xiliang cavalry had long been missing.

After more than 20 days in Yingchuan, Luo Zheng led his army north from Xu County and entered Yanzhou in early October.

Ten miles west of the ditch, in a dock fort.

The wolf-like Xiliang soldiers rushed everyone in the dock fort together, took care of them in a centralized manner, and then launched a carpet-like search and search, bags of grain were moved out of the warehouse, and boxes of copper coins were searched out of the kiln.

The well-dressed squires and their servants huddled in the dirty, smelly pigsty, shivering and pale.

Luo Zheng ordered his soldiers to move out the Taishi chair specially ordered by craftsmen to make zuò, and sat on it with a golden sword, devouring the tiger.

Xu Chu said next to him: "My lord, our army has raised more than 200,000 stone of military food in the Central Plains, with a population of more than 20,000, and now it is October, the weather is starting to turn cold, and it will be winter in three days, is it time to go back to Xiliang?" ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', "Raise some food and grass in Chenliu again, and go back." ”

Xu Chu slapped his thigh hard and said, "I haven't been back to Qiao County for more than a year, and I don't know what happened to my hometown." ”

Luo Zheng said: "It's hard to leave your homeland! ”

Xu Chu scratched his head, grinned a few times, and didn't speak again.

Luo Zheng got up and patted the evil man on the shoulder, and said: "When the general conquers the Central Plains, he will give you the title of Qianxian as a food town, even if the descendants of future generations are not angry, they can also have no worries about food and clothing, and they will not go into exile." ”

Xu Chu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, lord." ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', "Let's go and see how the grain and grass are counted." ”

Xu Chu agreed and hurriedly went to the front yard.

Chen Liu, too shou official residence.

Liu Yi hurriedly ran into the inner hall and bowed his hand to Zhang Miao: "I've seen the lord." ”

Zhang Miao waved his hand and asked, "No courtesy, have you ever found out if the news is true?" ”

Liu Yi said: "My lord, I have found out clearly, and the news is true." ”

Zhang Miao slapped his palm on the old case, and said angrily: "Dong Zhuo Pifu, deceive people too much!" ”

Liu Yi couldn't help but say: "My lord, according to the news from Yuzhou, Dong Zhuo once sent someone to ask Yuan Shu to explain that this cavalry that caused trouble in the Central Plains was not the Xiliang cavalry, and the Xiliang army in Wuguan did not move lightly. ”

Zhang Miao sneered and said: "Of course Dong Zhuo's old thief won't admit it, don't you hear that when the Kwantung Coalition Army was fighting against Dong, Dong Zhuo's old thief once sent eight thousand Xiliang Iron to ride out of Wuguan to kill into Nanyang, for the disaster of the Central Plains and Hebei, Dong Zhuo's old thief is a thief who will not change!" ”

Liu Yi was silent, this is indeed impossible to deny.

Because there is a precedent in the past, if there is not enough evidence, even if Dong Zhuo says it, no one will believe that this cavalry that killed from Nanyang to Yingchuan, and from Yingchuan to Chenliu was not sent by Dong Zhuo.

The Kwantung princes had few cavalry. And this cavalry was the first to come from Nanyang.

In addition to Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry, where else can the cavalry suddenly appear in Nanyang.

Zhang Miao asked, "Have you ever found out the movements of this Xiliang cavalry?" ”

Liu Yi shook his head and said: "The scouts of our army did not find this Xiliang cavalry, but according to the words of several squire servants who escaped from the attacked Zhuangzi. There are no less than 1,000 cavalry in this Xiliang cavalry, and no one knows how they left. ”

Zhang Miao's face was solemn, and he said: "It seems that the news is true, this Xiliang cavalry is elusive, and I don't know how to hide the traces." Yuan Shu sent 7,000 troops to Yingchuan, including 2,000 cavalry, but he did not find this Xiliang cavalry. ”

Liu Yi hurriedly said: "Lord." The gentry of Nanyang and Yingchuan were killed upside down, and they suffered heavy losses. The lord must not sit idly by, and must annihilate this Xiliang cavalry. ”

Zhang Miao frowned and said, "How to annihilate?" ”

"This ......"

Liu Yi was speechless for a while, and he had nothing to offer.

This Xiliang cavalry was elusive, and even Yuan Shu sent an army of 7,000 to Yingchuan. It was not annihilated. Not even the shadow of this Xiliang cavalry was seen, but hundreds of cavalry were eaten.

And the scouts sent this time did not detect the traces of this Xiliang cavalry at all.

It's obviously right in front of you, but it won't take a few hours for this Xiliang cavalry to disappear from under your nose.

Such a hellish thing, let alone seen or heard.

Zhang Miao paced irritably, and suddenly said, "Go." Please come and discuss the plan to break the enemy! ”

"Cao Cao?"

Liu Yi was stunned and quickly came back to his senses. He was commanded to go.

Cao Cao's 8,000 parts were stationed in Yongqiu, nearly 100 miles away from Chen Liu.

If you are fast, you can run back in one day.

Although Zhang Miao drove Cao Cao away due to his bad feelings, he was not allowed to let Cao Cao temporarily live in Chenliu, and he also had to provide some grain and grass for Cao Cao's 8,000 tribes, but it was impossible to station Cao Cao's troops near Chenliu.

If Cao Cao had evil intentions and raided Chen Liu, he would tell himself how to take precautions.

In these days, people are not old, and anything can happen.

No matter how generous Chen Liu, he can't help but keep an eye on it, and there should still be precautions.

When the sun was about to set, Cao Cao took Xiahoudun and dozens of cavalry to Chenliu in a hurry.

Zhang Miao gave Cao Cao enough courtesy, and personally went out of the city to greet him.

"Mengde!"

Zhang Miao arched his hand and stepped forward.

Cao Cao hurriedly rolled off his horse, stepped forward quickly, and saluted: "Meng Zhuo! ”

Zhang Miao grabbed Cao Cao's arm and said, "Let's go, Meng De, go back to the mansion!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and went first with Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao's subordinates, Wu and Xiahoudun followed.

When they arrived at the Taishou Mansion, everyone sat down.

Cao Cao preemptively said: "Meng Zhuo summoned people, but for the Xiliang cavalry?" ”

Zhang Miao hurriedly said: "How dare you summon Meng De, but this time I ordered someone to invite Meng De to come, it is indeed for the Xiliang cavalry that caused trouble to Nanyang and Yingchuan." At present, this Xiliang cavalry has entered Chenliu, and I hope that Meng De can send troops to help. ”

Cao Cao said solemnly: "Since Meng Zhuo has something to do, how dare he not do his best." However, this Xiliang cavalry drill that caused trouble to Nanyang and Yingchuan has also heard of it. Those who are only confused don't know how this Xiliang cavalry hides their tracks. ”

Zhang Miao frowned and said: "I'm also worried about this matter, if it weren't for that, how would more than a thousand cavalrymen dare to work hard for Meng De!" ”

Cao Cao said: "Yongqiu is only a few miles away from Fugou, when the Xiliang cavalry came over, Cao also heard the news, so he sent his younger brother Cao Ren to investigate, and he had witnessed the Xiliang cavalry attack a dock fort. But after waiting for more than three hours, after the unkilled servants in the dock fort escaped, my brother Cao Ren entered the dock fort to inspect and found that the Xiliang cavalry was nowhere to be found, which was unbelievable. ”

Zhang Miao said awe-inspiringly: "If this is the case, it turns out that Meng De has ordered someone to investigate." ”

Cao Cao said with a solemn expression: "Although Cao doesn't know how this Xiliang cavalry left the dock fort without knowing the world, if Cao's expectations are not bad, this Xiliang cavalry will definitely not be able to carry the five ghosts that those preachers advocate."
