Mo Ran stayed in Liaoxi County, he looked at the letters in his hand, these were the news sent by the scouts he sent out, several main roads, there was not the slightest movement of Yangzhou soldiers and horses, there were Yangzhou soldiers and horses who were originally showing an unchangeable momentum in Liaodong, but now it seems to be terrifyingly quiet. △↗ Roof,

You must know that because of the continuous advance of Yangzhou soldiers and horses, the Liaodong army has adopted a defensive posture, and the entire city is fortified and clear, and even the people outside the city have been driven back to the city.

One of the consequences of this is that the consumption in the city is huge, those people want to eat, and they must not bring much food when they come in a hurry, so Mo Ran needs to feed these people with grain and grass, and the people have relatives and houses in the city, and they can live in relatives' houses, but if they don't have houses, Mo Ran can't let them sleep on the streets, it's okay for a day or two, what if it rains or something? Liaodong is not as good as the Jiangnan area, where there is no house that can carry the work for several days, and the temperature at night here can freeze people to death.

Therefore, Mo Ran and Mo Zihui still have to arrange a place for those people to live, and Mo Ran is busy coming and going.

But that's the case, Mo Zihui still resolutely sat down, because the Yangzhou soldiers and horses over there were eyeing it, in order to prevent Liaoxi County, Mo Ran also fought, although the Yangzhou soldiers and horses were elite but the emphasis was not on the number, so no matter which city Yangzhou soldiers and horses attacked, he must set off with the whole army, once he came with the whole army, then Mo Ran Mo Zihui would take the opportunity to take Changi County, and completely let the Yangzhou soldiers and horses have no place to go back.

These are Mo Ran's strategies.

But now these tactics don't seem to be of much use.

Because the letters sent by these scouts are all on the surface, there is no trace of Yangzhou soldiers and horses. It can be said that several important roads are for the scouts. Day and night, he kept observing. Some of the small roads were not let go, but I was afraid that the Yangzhou soldiers and horses would suddenly come and be caught off guard.

If there was movement, maybe Mo Ran wouldn't be so uncomfortable, this kind of calm made Mo Ran feel uncomfortable the most.

He frowned, didn't he? What he thought was that the Yangzhou soldiers and horses might have found other trails that he didn't know they could take?

"Someone!" Mo Ran asked his subordinates to find more than a dozen, those who have been living here for decades, and even those who have lived here for several generations without leaving, they must know where there is a path. Where is it possible to spare the past.

Those old men really didn't let Mo Ran, there are really several paths, where to go, although it takes a little longer, it is really possible to avoid the eyes of those scouts under Mo Ran's hands.

"Go!" Mo Ran continued to increase the intensity of the scouts, and guarded those paths for him.

But after a few days, there was still no movement.

Just when Mo Ran was fidgeting, a herald came over there. gave him Mo Ran a shocking news

"Report! General, Ahead, Changi. Changi sends urgent information! A personal guard ran over and faced Mo Ran, and the letter in his hand was about to be handed over.

"Hurry up and get it!" Isn't Changi County the base camp of Yangzhou soldiers and horses? Mo Ran had already known the news there, and he had to teach it to him as soon as possible.

Immediately, the guards handed the letter in their hands to the past, and Mo Ran directly tore the letter.

Look up "What! Mo Ran's eyes widened and he looked at the letter in his hand, it was simply impossible.

"Is this letter indeed from Changi?" Mo Ran asked the guards over there sharply.

The guards were stunned for a moment, but they still reported, "Yes, general, the jujube paste on the envelope hasn't been opened yet!" Mo Ran saw that it was the traces that he had just opened, and there were no other traces left.

"Pass my military order, let Yue Peng and others enter the hall to discuss matters!" Mo Ran couldn't believe this letter.

Be! The guards went out, and soon Yue Peng and Mo Ran's subordinate generals arrived.

"What, Yangzhou soldiers and horses have withdrawn from Changi County?" Yue Peng also saw this letter, and his first reaction was not to believe it, "Impossible, the general must be a trick of Yangzhou soldiers and horses, what they want is to let us take it lightly, and then turn around and catch me off guard!" ”

Yue Peng's words made most of the generals nod their heads, this Yangzhou soldiers and horses said something unpleasant, that is, the momentum is like a bamboo, it can be said that several famous generals in Liaodong were defeated in the hands of Yangzhou soldiers and horses, this time should be the time to pursue the victory, not to retreat directly.

Some time ago, the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou did not move, and they thought he was waiting for reinforcements.

If things are abnormal, there must be demons.

Mo Ran also agreed with Yue Peng's analysis, but the information sent from the front would not be fake. Everyone thinks that it is better for them to stand still, to wait for the enemy's reaction, no matter where he comes from or what tricks he has to deal with all changes.

"General, if the general is not at ease, then send someone to Changi County to observe again in a few days!"

"Yes!" Mo Ran thought the same way.

……

Outside of Changi County. Thousands of soldiers and horses were there, marching in formation, and at this time instead of going to attack the hinterland of western Liaoning, they chose another direction and went to the port of Liaodong over there.

"Hey!" Ling Chao was really a little reluctant, and the city that he had finally beaten down was just handed over.

"Lord Yang Chen, can you let us stay!" Ling Chao looked at Yang Chen and said, "I will definitely not live up to the trust of Lord Yang Chen and the lord!" ”

"Okay, General Ling Chao, there will always be a battle for you!" Yang Chen comforted on the side, Ling Chao's soldiers and horses were all southerners and couldn't ride horses, but now the soldiers and horses that Yang Chen needed were going back to ride, so Ling Chao and they were going to leave after getting on the troop transport ship, and there would be a soldier and horse over there to replace them.

It is impossible to leave Liaodong, Yangzhou soldiers and horses did not bring much grain and grass, and when Mo Ran left in Changi County, it was also burned with a fire, although a lot of them were rescued. But it is clearly not enough.

Not to mention. It is impossible for the Sovereign-class warship to stay here any longer.

"Are you leaving?" On the other side, Dongfang Ming and An Yixuan took a deep look at this familiar place. They will also leave with the large army, and they will not come back after leaving this time, at least not until the world is pacified. So both of them have a feeling.

"Let's go, let's go!" An Yixuan waved his hand and said.

"Lord Yang Chen, do you think there will be a pursuit over there?" Ling Chao's lieutenant asked Yang Chen.

"Don't worry, Mo Zihui in Liaodong over there is very cautious, such a person will not send troops!" An Yixuan on the side shook his head and said.

"Let's leave a soldier and horse queen!" Retreat is no better than offense. A lot of things need to be transported, for example, the twelve and three thousand cannons need to be escorted by special personnel, and the troops of thousands of people will also be very long, and it is very important to leave a force behind the palace.

"Let's go, wait for us next time!"

……

A few days of hard work passed in a flash, and the scouts of Mo Ran over there still did not move at all, and the Yangzhou soldiers and horses seemed to have no zài.

Mo Ran couldn't help it, "Someone!" ”

"What does the general command?"

"How many horses are there in the army?" Mo Ran asked the deputy general Yue Peng on the side.

"General, there are less than two thousand war horses in our army!" Liaodong is located in the north and has pastures. But not all horses can be used as war horses as soon as they come up, so after the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of Tuoba Sea was wiped out. There were many fewer war horses in Mo Ran's hands.

"Enough!" Mo Ran nodded, "Yue Peng ordered two thousand soldiers and horses for me, and I will go to Changi County with me!" ”

"General, it's dangerous!" Yue Peng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "General, we don't know the movement of the Yangzhou soldiers and horses, will we fall for the Yangzhou soldiers and horses if we go rashly!" ”

"No, it won't!" Mo Ran really couldn't sit still, he had to go no matter whether there was danger or not, this Yangzhou soldier and horse was too weird, he Mo Ran had fought for so many years, but he was classified, that thing that could thunder, and that super battleship that was so big.

So Mo Ran didn't dare to wait dogmatically, how was Changi County broken in the first place.

"But!" Yue Peng still didn't worry about his general.

"Don't worry, I have a war horse in my hand, even if I am ambushed, I can escape!" Mo Ran was going to take two thousand cavalry with him this time, without the slightest foot battle, just in case he could leave immediately.

"General, I'll go with you!" Yue Peng was not worried that Mo Zihui would go with Mo Ran.

"If you go, who will be responsible for this Liaoxi matter!" Mo Ran asked Yue Peng on the side, Yue Peng is indeed a good deputy, at least Mo Ran has a lot of things that he doesn't have to deal with personally.

"It's all a little thing, it's enough to teach them those county commanders and county lieutenants, as for the army, they have their own generals, and we don't need to worry about it!" Yue Peng waved his hand and said.

"Okay, you go and finish some things, and come with me!" The matter of city defense still needs to be explained.

"Yes!" Yue Peng's face was happy, and he went down immediately, he had to hurry up.

"Drive, drive!" Mo Ran came from the hinterland of Liaoxi County with his two thousand cavalry, and headed in the direction of Changi County, because of Mo Ran's caution, they all advanced fifty miles, then thirty miles back, and then fifty miles, and so on, in case they were ambushed by themselves, so although the distance was not long, they were very tired.

"In front of the general is Changi County!" Yue Peng pointed to Changi County over there and said to Mo Ran beside him.

"Yes!" Mo Ran nodded, he naturally knew that it was Changi County, and they were driven out of it, so they were naturally familiar.

"General, let's go straight over!" Yue Peng is also tired, most people can't bear it back and forth, and the cavalry behind Yue Peng is also like this, all of them are exhausted.

"No!" Mo Ran shook his head: "Yue Peng, have you found a problem?" ”

"Questions?" Yue Peng was a little puzzled.

"Don't you think it's too quiet here?" In the distance, the county town of Changi looks like a dead city, and it's eerily quiet. "Huh?" Yue Peng nodded when he was reminded by Mo Ran, it really seemed like this. "What about the general?"

"Send someone to take a look!" Mo Ran said to Yue Peng.

Yue Peng nodded, and soon a scout was sent out, waiting for half an hour. The scout over there came back with a strange look.

"That's it. What about that Changi county? ”

"General. The gates of Changi County are wide open! ”

"The gates are wide open? Could it be that he had an ambush? Mo Ran thought of this, "Yue Peng immediately dispersed the scouts, I want the news within a radius of a hundred miles, and report it once every time I burn incense!" ”

"General, Changi County is open, and there is no one in it!" To be precise, there is not a single Yangzhou soldier and horse.

"What?" Mo Ran took his 2,000 cavalry into Changi County, and Changi County was depressed, and the people were hiding at home and did not dare to come out.

Mo Ran rode a war horse and walked on the official road in Changi County, "Where are the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou?" ”

"General, listen to those people. Those Yangzhou soldiers and horses had already left a few days ago! "Yue Peng inquired and came back with news.

"Left?" Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, if those Yangzhou soldiers and horses had left a few days ago, then it was right to say that the information he got was right, and the Yangzhou soldiers and horses had already retreated?

"Impossible?" Mo Ran immediately shook his head, the grudge between Yangzhou soldiers and horses and his Liaodong is not light, the eldest prince Gongsun Kang in order to please Cao Cao, pit the Yangzhou army, the more than 10,000 pairs of armor and weapons, the front and back add up to a million gold, Yangzhou is so likely to swallow this breath. That's why there is this Yangzhou soldier attack.

Even if the soldiers and horses of Yangzhou smashed Liaoxi County, it was not worth millions of gold.

The Yangzhou soldiers and horses were the ones who threatened to ask for Gongsun Kang's head. They couldn't have left lightly.

"General, maybe they're angry at us when they see they've won. So left? Yue Peng said cautiously, the three famous generals in Liaodong, An Yixuan, Mo Ran Tuoba Hai all lost, An Yixuan surrendered, Tuoba Hai died, and he Mo Ran was left alone, and he Mo Ran also lost the Zhendong Army.

It can be said that the Liaodong Army is already doing its best. Yue Peng's guess now is that Yangzhou soldiers and horses have already taken this bad breath, so they left, coupled with Gongsun Du's posture of wanting to fight with Yangzhou, Yangzhou Jun felt that it was not worth it, so he left.

"Huh?" Mo Ran frowned, Yue Peng's words were not unreasonable, could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou felt angry and left? Logically, this makes sense, but in his heart, Mo Ran doesn't think so.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mo Ran didn't come up with the slightest clue, so he had to settle the uneasiness in his heart and take one step at a time.

"Yue Peng, you go and post the Anmin notice!" Changi was occupied in several county towns in western Liaoning, but it can be regarded as the most well-preserved, because Yangzhou soldiers and horses did not waste the slightest, and even Yangzhou soldiers and horses gave money to the local people when they wanted to buy things.

But other people who are closer to Changi County are unlucky, and they are privately plundered by the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of Tuoba Sea, and there are not a few people who are ruined, and even when Yangzhou soldiers and horses leave, there are some Liaodong men who want to join the Yangzhou army to fight Liaodong Gongsun Du to avenge their families.

It was later, Tuoba Hai's head that calmed down the anger of these individuals.

"General, what about the army of the border city in eastern Liao?" The soldiers and horses of Yangzhou left, and it stands to reason that these armies of the border cities in eastern Liaodong should go back.

However, Mo Ran was suspicious, cautious, and said to Yue Peng on the side, "Leave them and let them stay for half a month!" "Mo Ran, this is just in case.

Who knows where the Yangzhou army went, the sea is vast, and there is no radar to track it, so it's better to stay just in case, if someone shoots back, it's not good.

Yue Peng went down to give the order, and the defenders of the border city in eastern Liaodong did not leave, but the place where they were stationed was changed, and the county seat of Changi also became the location of the station. One by one, they were all on strict precautions, and the Liaodonghai was directly blocked.

However, it is obvious that Mo Ran's actions are superfluous.

The soldiers and horses of Yangzhou really left, at least Ling Chao's soldiers and horses really left.

"Gow, grate!" On a shoal near Youzhou in Liaodong, where birds don't shit, a large wave of people and horses suddenly came, and warships transported things to the shoal, war horses, and soldiers.

"General Zilong, are you okay!" Yang Chen looked at the white-robed warrior in front of him with a little concern.

"It's okay, it's okay! Gott, grate! The white-robed warrior said he was fine, but vomited again.

"Huh!" Yang Chen cried and laughed a little. The white-robed general in front of him is the heart of the lord's henchman. It can even be commensurate with his brother. It's none other than Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the commanders of White Horse Congyi. Yang Chen didn't expect that this rare god of war figure under the command of the lord would be seasick.

Zhao Yun's injuries are also healed, and Mrs. Mi is also pregnant with the child of the Zhao family, so Zhao Yun began to ask Liu Mang to go on the expedition, this time Liu Mang sent him over, and the five thousand white horses Congyi, the current white horse Congyi is completely expanded, and the initial three thousand people are less than three thousand, and it has become the current five thousand soldiers and horses, which is still because the Yangzhou army is now not short of war horses. It is not without benefit to do business with Gongsun Du of Liaodong over the years, and now there are tens of thousands of large and small war horses in Yangzhou, Zhao Yun's white horses are all one person and two horses, this time it is to send these five thousand white horses from righteousness, and 10,000 war horses need a lot of warships to transport, and Yangzhou is about to shoot out the warships in their hands.

"General Zilong, do you want us to take a day off before we go out?" Yang Chen said with concern.

"No need!" Zhao Yun waved his hand, the rest of his subordinates did not react as much as him, after all, the white horses were all selected from the southerners, although the southerners rarely went to sea, but at least they were not so sensitive to water. In the Yangtze River, it has also been tempered by some boats.

"The great cause of the Lord is important! Lord Yang Chen, but there are orders. The cloud is bound to be done! Zhao Yun said to Yang Chen.

"So much the best!" Yang Chen nodded, since Zhao Yun said so, he didn't insist anymore.

"General Zhao Yun, this is General Dongfang Ming, I believe General Zhao Yun has heard of it!" Yang Chen pointed to Dongfang Ming on the side and introduced it to Zhao Yun.

"General Dongfang Ming!" Zhao Yun nodded, when he was on the warship, he heard that this Dongfang Ming was the former general of Liaodong, and that Gongsun Kang killed his entire family, so he joined the Yangzhou soldiers and horses to avenge his family.

It's a man, Zhao Yun couldn't help but nodded,

"General Zhao Yun has admired his name for a long time!" This is the territory of Liaodong, but it is also the border of Youzhou, whose territory was Youzhou before, it was naturally the original White Horse General Gongsun Zhan.

The white horse in Gongsun Zhan's hand is righteous, this thing really makes the foreign tribes on the border tremble.

And Zhao Yun is the commander of White Horse Congyi, Dongfang Ming can not know it.

"General Zilong, General Dongfang Ming is your deputy!" Dongfang Ming is familiar with the road in Liaodong.

Zhao Yun nodded, "Okay, it's not early, let's act as soon as possible!" "Over there, Baima Congyi is ready to go.

"Okay, then Yang is here waiting for the news of your victorious return, General!" Yang Chen said to Zhao Yun.

"White horse from righteousness, let's go!" Zhao Yun nodded, stepped on the war horse, Zhao Yun, who was vomiting on the boat just now, now fell on the war horse, and suddenly the whole person changed.

The five thousand soldiers and horses of the White Horse Congyi disappeared in a flash and disappeared in front of Yang Chen.

"Youzhou, Youzhou!" After Zhao Yun set foot on this land, the feelings in his heart were complicated, and he thought of many things, such as his general, the white horse general Gongsun Zhan, it was from Gongsun Chan that Zhao Yun understood, what is called the word righteousness, and it was also from Gongsun Chan that he learned the command ability of the cavalry.

Youzhou, which has Gongsun Zhan, was a nightmare for foreigners back then, but unfortunately General Baima eventually became a piece of loess, he is suitable for being a general but not suitable for being a lord.

"I'm back, General!" Zhao Yun shouted in his heart, Baima Congyi was on this land back then, and now that they are back, Zhao Yun wanted to yell out, but he still endured it.

"Rack, rack, rack!" He put all the complicated feelings of Yiqiē into the war horse under his crotch, and couldn't help but whip faster and speed up.

Nanpi City.

This is the capital of Bohai County, which is also a very important production base in Youzhou.

On the land of Youzhou, there was no need for Dongfang Ming to guide the way, Zhao Yun was simply familiar with the road, and Nanpi City soon appeared in front of him.

Cao Cao?! That's what they're aiming for.

Zhao Yun stretched out his hand, and the order flag on the side also waved, which meant to stop.

5,000 cavalry plus 10,000 war horses, such a huge force, but stopped under this small commanding flag, and it can be seen that the elite of the white horse is righteous.

"Dress up!" Zhao Yun's voice rang out.

"Yes!" The warriors of the white horse took out their armor and jumped from one horse to another.

The banner was also slowly beaten out, "Liaodong Iron Cavalry, Zhou!" (To be continued......)
