Chapter 613: The Horse Exceeds the Battle

In Le'an, Wen Chou ignored the advice of his advisers, and repeatedly went out of the city to fight the main force of the Cao army, in order to defeat the Cao army as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the return to the army Pingyuan County, the 10,000 reinforcements of the Xiliang Army are in the Pingyuan County, Pingyuan County is absolutely impregnable in the eyes of the generals of the Jizhou Army, and where the Xiliang Army is there, it seems that there is only victory.

At the beginning, Cao Ren showed that he was not supportive, and under Wen Chou's offensive, there were signs of defeat and retreat, so that three days ago, once he saw the Jizhou army out of the city, he ordered the soldiers to be on strict guard, so that Wen Chou's heart gradually relaxed.

In the dark night, he couldn't see his five fingers, the big tent of the Chinese army was still brightly lit, Cao Ren kept looking at the letter in his hand and studied it back and forth no less than ten times, but he still couldn't make a conclusion, he was not like the Xiliang army, he had the internal response in the city, once there was a change, he Cao Ren's loss of troops would be small, and it would be very bad for Cao Cao to destroy the plan to capture Qingzhou.

"General, can this person be trusted?" The advisor asked.

Cao Ren nodded slightly and shook his head slightly, he was not sure if this was a trap set against Cao Jun, once he made a rash move, the consequences would be very serious.

In the end, Cao Ren made up his mind, as the so-called wealth and danger are sought, the Xiliang army can sneak attack the city under the heavy forces, why can't the Cao army taste it.

The Liu family is a powerful family in Qingzhou, and there are two children in the family, who are officials in the government, and one who is a general in the army, with a prominent status, if it weren't for the fact that Le'an and Yanzhou were too close and repeatedly attacked by the Cao army, his Liu family's strength would have been stronger.

"Family master, do we really want to help Cao Jun seize Le'an Kingdom?" A middle-aged man asked uncertainly, his eyes were full of incomprehension, it is said that with the strength of the Liu family in the city, even after Cao Jun entered the city, he was treated like this at most, and he didn't understand what the head of the family thought.

"Well, you have to use your brain to think about everything, Cao Jun or Jizhou Army, which is stronger?" An old man with some gray hair asked.

"Of course it's Cao Jun, every time Cao Jun and Jizhou Army fight, it's the Jizhou Army that can't beat each other." The middle-aged man replied.

"That's right, after taking refuge in Cao Jun, we are in the hinterland of Cao Jun, and we don't have to worry about attacking the enemy at any time, and opening the city gate to welcome Cao Jun into the city is also to make the Liu family's status in the city higher than it is now, maybe those boys in the family can be shortlisted in the officialdom again, Cao Cao's mind is much better than Yuan Shao's."

"Having said that, I heard that Yuan Shao has invited reinforcements, it is the Xiliang Army, which is assisting the Jizhou Army in Pingyuan County to defend the city, in a short period of time, I am afraid that the Cao Army will not be able to make achievements."

"No matter what, if Le'an Kingdom is lost, the Jizhou army will be shaken, and it will be more convenient for the Cao army to capture Pingyuan County, and after this stalemate is opened, our Liu family will get more benefits."

"The head of the house is wise."

The Liu family has been in Qingzhou for many years, after repeated wars, they understand more about what is the most important thing in the troubled times, that is, the military power in their hands, there is no strength in their hands, in the troubled times, they can only be constantly beaten, after the head of the Liu family understands this, he is an honest businessman on the surface, and he has trained a lot of private soldiers in secret, in case he can come in handy when he changes, and this time, to assist Cao Ren to obtain Le'anguo, the role of private soldiers will be maximized.

After some operation, the generals of the Liu family in the army were also transferred to the city gate to guard, so as to facilitate the actions of the Liu family.

Yan Liangwen is ugly, the two are generals in Yuan Shao's mouth, and their status is prominent, but in the eyes of Xiliang Jun and Cao Jun, they are not so important, mainly because these two people are useless except for their strong martial arts, and they fight completely with blood, can such a person win on the battlefield, I am afraid that the other party will set up a strategy and capture it.

After the head of the Liu family led the soldiers to open the city gate quietly, he stood on the head of the city and waved a few times to prepare the haode torch, and hurriedly walked down the city wall.

Cao Ren showed an excited look on his face, when he fought with the Xiliang army before, he had to be careful not to open the city gate quietly at any time, but now he has experienced it firsthand, this feeling is really good, and it makes people feel refreshed.

Two thousand cavalry took the lead in attacking the city, and under the guidance of the Liu family master, they killed the big camp, as long as the soldiers in the general were pacified, the entire Le'an country was in the hands of the Cao army.

The soldiers of the Jizhou Army in their sleep were awakened by the rumbling sound of iron hooves, panicked, many people ran out of the camp tent without even wearing clothes, unarmed, how could they resist the cavalry that killed quickly, shouted and dodged to the side, but more people ran away with their feet outstretched.

There was chaos in the army, Wen Chou was also woken up by the adjutant general, after walking out of the camp and seeing such a change, he was furious, and wanted to pick up the long knife and fight to the death with the Cao army, but was stopped by the deputy general, the current situation is obviously that the Cao army has the upper hand, the Jizhou army is in chaos, and there is no difference between rushing up and sending him to death, even if your martial arts are strong, killing ten or eight will not have any impact on the overall battle situation.

"Then what to do, there are still nearly 20,000 soldiers in the city." Wen Chou said bitterly, he didn't expect Cao Jun to sneak into the city, if it wasn't for the deputy general's reminder, I'm afraid it would be possible for him to be caught.

"General, let's stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, let's go back to Pingyuan County for the time being, there is the lord's army there, as long as Pingyuan County is guarded, it is not difficult to resist Cao's army." The adjutant general persuaded.

The face changed for a long time, Wen Chou sighed, patted the horse and rushed to the direction of the city gate, when Wen Chou escaped from the city, there were only a few dozen soldiers following him, this battle, the Jizhou army directly lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, including more than 1,000 cavalry, usually Wen Chou was not willing to take it out, all cheaper Cao Jun.

The harvest is very rich, Cao Ren is very happy, it seems that this sneak attack on the city gate, it is really a huge profit, no wonder when the Xiliang army attacked Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, the first thing to do was to seize the control of the city gate into the hands, it turned out that there was this reason, it seems that in the future, I will suggest to the lord that I will also form a team in the army to attack the city gate.

The professional level of his own side is much worse than that of the Xiliang army, which Cao Ren also understands that he can capture Luoyang under his heavy guard, and the Xiliang army has indeed done it quietly, and what is even more terrifying is that soldiers appeared from the city that day, which directly led to the defeat of the Cao army, until now Cao Ren still can't figure out where these soldiers came from, and the black-clothed man who came out of Xianlian Pavilion can still explain what is going on with the soldiers who seized the city gate.

Cao Jun captured Le'an country, captured more than 10,000 enemies, more than 1,000 war horses, countless grain and grass materials, so that Cao Cao Lao Huai let go, all along, his most important generals are Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, I didn't expect Xiahou Yuan to be killed by the Xiliang army, and now Cao Ren will capture Le'an country in a war, which can be said to be bloodless, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.

The Liu family of Le'an Kingdom has gained a lot of benefits because of this wise move, and the reward alone has made the head of the Liu family excited, and some of the children of the family have also been sent to other counties as officials, and for a while, the status of the Liu family in the city has become higher.

Gao Ran's face was gloomy pacing back and forth in the tent, there was Wen Chou in Le'an to contain Cao Jun, he was still able to deal with Cao Jun calmly, there were more than 20,000 defenders in the city, and Cao Jun was difficult to bargain for a while, and the loss of Le'an Guo meant that over the years, the efforts of the Jizhou Army in Qingzhou were in vain, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought in Qingzhou for so long, nothing more than for land, and this time because of Wen Chou's mistakes, directly led to Yuan Shao's strength in Qingzhou reduced by half.

"General Gao, I"

Gao Ran waved his hand and said: "There is no need to mention this matter, and now guarding Pingyuan County is the top priority." ”

Although Wen Chou was a little unhappy in his heart, he still endured it, in the past, Gao Ran would definitely not dare to do this, otherwise Wen Chou would have passed with a slap, and now he is the general of the defeated army, so he can only swallow this breath temporarily.

"There are 10,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army in the city, but these soldiers are very cunning, they only carry supplies in the city, occasionally shoot arrows, and do not do their best at all." Gao Ran said with a slight frown.

Wen Chou said angrily: "The Xiliang Army is really treacherous, but the lord has given up the entire Zhuo County to the Xiliang Army." ”

"I'll go find them." Wen Chou said that he would do it, leave Gao Lan, and go to the Xiliang army.

Gao Ran watched Wen Chou leave with a stunned expression, he had long wanted to find the matter of the Xiliang Army, but this time was really a critical period of the war, and he couldn't offend the Xiliang Army because of a trivial matter, so Pingyuan County would be completely dangerous.

In any case, as long as the Xiliang army is in the city, and the Jizhou army is a grasshopper on a rope, there will be no too outrageous moves, after all, after the city is breached, they will also be unlucky.

The general who led the troops was Ma Chao of the Xiliang Army, and Wen Chou was a little displeased when he saw Ma Chao at first sight, mainly because Ma Chao was too young, which made people can't believe that it was this young general who commanded the team of the Xiliang Army.

"General Wen?" Ma Chao hugged his fist slightly.

Wen Chou said: "Exactly, I don't know if King Liang had any instructions before the general came to Qingzhou?" ”

"Assist the Jizhou Army in defending Le'an Country." Ma Chao said lightly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, Ma Chao was indeed not interested in helping other princes, and the 10,000 soldiers under his command could not make any mistakes, otherwise they would not be able to explain after returning to Chang'an.
