The hour had passed, and among the grass crowds outside the North City Gate, Yu Ban patted the dust on his body and asked softly, "Is there a signal from the North City Gate?" ”

"General, there hasn't been."

The wait-and-see soldier hurriedly replied.

"Watch."

Yu Ban patted the pawn, and then retreated.

As the commander of the main public commissar with a heavy responsibility, Yu Ban did not dare to be too careful, and personally led 2,000 soldiers to turn them into a whole, through various channels, in the form of a small group of scouts, and finally gathered in the north of Xiapi City.

Although there are not many soldiers, they are all the elites cultivated by Yu Ban himself, after the death of Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban was even more reused by Cao Cao, and this time the heavy responsibility of the surprise attack on Pi, Cao Cao overrode the public opinion, and put this burden on his shoulders.

Whether it is Cao Ren or Cao Chun, they are both generals, Yu Ban knows what kind of high hopes the lord has for himself, so he has always been at the forefront and has not slacked off.

Chen's father and son want to vote for the lord, Yu Ban has already gotten the news, Chen Yuanlong transferred the elite soldiers in the city, and Chen Hanyu opened the north gate of Xiapi in the middle of the night with fireworks, with such an internal response, 2,000 elite soldiers are enough!

Yu Ban propped his sword on the ground and began to think carefully about the key points of the whole plan......

……

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

After Cao Fu was physically and mentally refreshed, Liu Wei returned to the barracks.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Wei put on a banquet and called all his subordinates to come and have a good time.

Bu Qi drank a few glasses of wine, then stood up and saluted Liu Wei, "Lord, what is the point of this wine tonight?" ”

Li Xuan saw that Liu Wei did not speak, so he interjected from the side, "I'm afraid it's related to Xiapicheng." ”

When Liu Wei heard this, he stood up, "Making an exception to drink tonight, it is Feng who has a hunch that the matter of Xuzhou will end tonight." ”

Everyone stood up, everyone drank the wine, and Zangba said: "If the lord's prediction is correct, then the people of Xuzhou will be able to live a good life." ”

"yes!" Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It's so rich here, as long as it's not destroyed, then we can add more meat to our soldiers' recipes." ”

In the era of the late Han Dynasty, if there were soldiers with meat to eat, the combat level would definitely be much stronger than those who could only eat half full, and no matter how high the art of commanding the commander was, the soldiers were required to implement it.

Although several major military regions were established, the upper limit of the number of people was controlled at about 50,000, and Liu Wei also believed that only by streamlining the administration could the strongest combat power be achieved, and the Yellow Turban Army was the best example.

The princes can ignore these, their status is not high, once they will succeed, if they want to fight for hegemony, it is worth the sacrifice, but Liu Wei's identity is different, and he must protect them as much as possible for his people.

Everyone felt the lord's belief in victory, and everyone drank a few more glasses, and Bu Qi couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know what Cao Mengde is doing outside the city?"

……

Outside the city, Cao's army camp.

Cao Cao's arrow wound has healed, and all the generals are concentrated in the lobby, discussing Yu Ban's plan to attack Xiapi, and everyone is very optimistic about Ban's action.

"Ming Gong, once Xiapi falls into our hands, He Feng of Pengcheng will have to take refuge in Yangzhou Yuan Highway except for fleeing north to Qingzhou."

As soon as Xi Zhong said this, Xiahoudun jumped up, "We can't let him go to Yangzhou, we should drive him into the Qingzhou battlefield like a sheep, so that a certain person is willing to lead troops in Qingzhou and find an opportunity to annihilate them all." ”

Cao Cao nodded, "He Feng and Yuan Highway have always had a good relationship, I am afraid that if I go to Yangzhou, I am afraid that it will become a sharp blade in his hands, Yuan Highway was originally a tyrant in Huainan, if He Feng goes, I am afraid it will ......"

Before the words fell, he saw Li Dian hurriedly walking into the tent, his face was pale, and his voice was a little trembling.

"Ming Gong, Zixiao is in a hurry, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao brothers and Liu Bei sent troops from Tugu City to attack my Yuzhou Peiguo, Liang Guo, Chen Liuguo, Zixiao's troops are not enough, the opponent's soldiers are divided into three routes, and the cities everywhere are constantly in an emergency, and the special flying horse comes to report to Ming Gong."

"When ......"

The long sword in Cao Cao's hand fell to the ground, his face changed greatly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "My childhood friend, stabbing a knife in the back, is talking about people like the Zhang brothers!" ”

There was silence in the hall, even Xiahoudun had no voice, and now Xuzhou has not been taken, if he loses in the rear, where will this tens of thousands of troops still have a place to survive?

"One time, another time." Xun Yu stood up without hesitation, "Ming Gong, now that Xuzhou is no longer our focus, you might as well sell He Feng a face, and we will return to Yuzhou immediately." ”

Xi Zhong hesitated, his face was extremely heavy, and the fan no longer swayed.

"If what Wen says is reasonable, the Zhang brothers are the henchmen, and they are in a hurry, and they are cheap He Feng once."

"But." Cao Chun stood up, "Wen Ze has already led troops to take down Pi, and now he may have taken down the Xuzhou administrative office, this is ...... What should I do? ”

The great work in front of him was about to be completed, but there was a fire in the backyard, and everyone in the audience felt depressed, and Cao Cao let out a long breath.

"Wen Ze is talented, and he understands the way of leading troops, let's ignore Xiapi for the time being, the first division will go back to defeat the Zhang brothers, as for Xiapi, let's send a messenger now, so that Wen Ze can act at the opportunity."

……

Night is always suitable for many things, in the late Han Dynasty, there were no electric lights and telephones, and in the middle of the night, all kinds of human affairs were officially staged.

The North City Tower of Xiapi is guarded by Qin Yilu, Cao Bao got his promise, thinking about the delicacy of the Du family's lady, his heart is angry, although his own Zuo family is also very womanly, but men always eat in their mouths, look at the pot, play with women, and never make too much.

The Qin family is a big family in Xiapi City, although they are not wealthy, they also have a certain influence, so Cao Bao gave Qin Yilu a partial position and asked him to guard the north city gate.

Of course, this is just a false title, Qin Yilu has never been to the city gate to guard, but just called a few of his own family members to stand there, once the war in Xuzhou is over, there will be a lot of credit, plus Cao Bao's recommendation, I am afraid that I can get a lot of official positions.

A group of people walked towards the north city gate, led by Chen Feng, the head of the Chen family.

Seeing Chen Feng coming, the team guarding the city greeted him with a smile on his face.

The influence of the Chen family in Xuzhou is very great, to say that the money is not as good as the Elk family, to say that the power is not as good as the Cao family, but at the age of twenty-five, Chen Deng was elected as filial piety and served as the magistrate of Dongyang County.

Although the official is not big, Chen Deng has made great achievements in civil affairs, raising the elderly, raising orphans, treating the people as children, and winning the love of the people.
