PS: Thank you 'Flying Sky' for your generous tip! Thank you!

The news of Xiahoudun's fiasco in Lanling has spread far and wide, and it has been spread all over the world in one morning, and Xiahoudun's reputation has fallen downwards and Xu Huang's rubbing upwards, not to mention, the key is that Xiahoudun's defeat has changed the overall situation in the East China Sea, and even affected the situation around the East China Sea, Peng and Pei, and even further.

I don't know anything else, but Gao Gan knows that his opportunity has come!

What chances? Of course, he took advantage of the opportunity to rob Peiguo and Pengguo, and now that Xiahoudun has been newly defeated, the defense center of Peiguo and Pengguo has shifted eastward, this is a great opportunity for Gao Gan to do it!

How can Yuan Shao not know what he lacks most now, what Yuan Shao lacks is population! And Gongqiu, not far south of Zou County, where he is stationed, and Pei County and Feng County, which are a little further south, are all populations! What's even better is that these cities are all first-class towns, the level of defense is limited, the defenders are not many, and the people are distributed in the surrounding villages and towns, the population of these three areas is more than 300,000, but the defenders are less than 50,000, and the senior cadres have coveted this for a long time

Now that Xiahoudun was defeated, he hesitated and feared that Xu Huang would attack Peng State, and Pei Guo's garrison was even more drawn to the east, and the defenders were even less.

"General, general, the information of the spies is here?"

Gao Gan raised his eyebrows and asked excitedly, "How?" Hurry up and report 1

"No, the intelligence shows that the defenders of Gongqiu have sent 4,000 to the south, Pei County has transferred 10,000, Feng County has transferred 4,000, and the joint attack has transferred 18,000 defenders and 10,000 people. The defense materials are not counted, and now there are only 4,000 defenders in Gongqiu City and 10,000 in Pei County. This amount has been double-checked. ”

Bang 1 Gao Gan slapped the desk in front of him heavily, and the excitement on his face could no longer be suppressed: "Okay, it's very good 1."

"General, we really want to attack Peiguo, will this be a little inappropriate1

Gao Gan's face sank, and he subconsciously clenched his fists and said, "What can be wrong?" ”

"This lord seems to have a tacit understanding with Cao Cao, and we do this. Will it ruin the lord's plan 1

"Hmph, you know what! The lord made peace with Cao Cao, but it was just to induce Cao Cao to go to war with Fang Zhiwen. In order to buy time for our army to complete the deployment of Yanzhou and initially restore the people's livelihood in Yanzhou, this great Central Plains has always been in the pocket of the lord. How could Cao Cao be allowed to steal for too long1

That being said. But if the lord and Cao Cao have an agreement, we will openly send troops, will we?"

"The ancients said, 'The lord humiliates the minister's death, and the lord worries about the humiliation of the minister', those of us who are vassals can't relieve the worries of the lord, what is the use? If you only know how to cherish your life and covet fame and fortune, what else will you be a general 1

"That's what the general said. Said yes, just. It's best to ask the lord for advice on this matter, what if the lord has other plans? ”

"Hehe, you ask the lord for instructions on this matter, how should the lord answer, agree or disagree? If you agree, you will not betray your promise to Cao Cao, and if you do not agree, you will miss the great opportunity to crack down on Cao Cao's plundering population. ”

"But"

"How can there be so many, but, besides, did I say that I went to attack Peiguo with great fanfare? Don't you know what's going on in Changshan County? ”

"Changshan County, the last general understands, let's act under the banner of bandits1

"Hehe, that's right, we have to take advantage of the benefits, and we should try to avoid the risks, okay, this matter is decided, you quickly go and arrange the relevant matters, remember, the soldiers should not wear any obvious signs, clothing, armor, banners and drums, masked cloth towels, etc., can not be missing1

"Don't worry, general, we have a lot of collections of these things on weekdays, and now they just come in handy1

"Good! When we are ready, let's go south to make a fuss, let all the places scout carefully, and report the movements of Cao's army at any time1

"No1

Pei County, Pei County is a small place, but Pei County's reputation is not small, this is Liu Bang's hometown, there are also some good historical copies, and there are a lot of players who usually come here to play, making this small city always seem so lively.

Standing on the city gate tower and looking into the city, there is already a little green in the city in early spring, and when noon is approaching, the smoke rises in the city, and the dense atmosphere adds a lot of vitality and fairy spirit to this small city.

There are a few civil and military generals standing on the tower of the city gate, if the senior cadres are here, they will be surprised, Pei County, which only has 10,000 defenders in the mouth of the spies, actually has frustration and happiness to come in and garrison, it is conceivable that this Pei County is definitely a trap!

"Gonghe, did you say that the senior cadres would come?"

"Yes, we're all about to empty our army, and it wouldn't be disappointing that he didn't come1

"It's hard to say, if this man is cowardly.1

"This man is not cowardly, on the contrary, he is very bold and very greedy."

"I hope you're right, if he doesn't come, the lord's idea won't come true.1

"If they don't come, we have to go1

Le Jin paused for a moment: "Let's go?" Wouldn't that put the handle in the hands of Yuan Shao, contrary to the lord's idea1

"Hehe, I didn't let you go with great fanfare, pretending to be a thief and shaking it over, just remind Gao Gan, presumably he won't be so stupid1

"Thieves? Yes, will the senior cadres come under the banner of thieves1

"That's for sure, if he doesn't discount the thief's name, then I'm going to admire him.1

Le Jin is in a hurry, in this way, won't he be able to achieve the lord's purpose.

"But, in this way, we didn't work in vain, this"

"Don't worry Wen Qian, do you think that ordinary thieves can break through a city garrisoned by 4,000 people?"

"Four thousand, I understand, four thousand people are no more, no less, just enough to force Gao Gan to use a large army, thieves of that size appear here, no matter what."

"Hehe, this is just the beginning. When the city of 4,000 people is captured, he will look at the city where these 10,000 people are stationed, here. It's the trap that really traps him. ”

"Trap, Gong and I mean, I want to trap Gao Gan here, what does this mean?"

"Gao Gan and Yuan Shao are related, if we can successfully trap Gao Gan here, do you think Yuan Shao will come to the rescue?"

Le Jin suddenly let himself go to Pei County's purpose. It turned out that he wanted to stick to Gao Gan, and then use Liang Xing's cavalry to trap Gao Gan in Pei County!

"Nima, is this a thief? How is it so strong. A piece of paper will only hurt but not die! Sub-Olympiad 1

"Why, fooled, said to be a defense thief, is this a thief?"

"Let's go. Let's go! I didn't do 1

"Yes. Let's go to the ball, I don't want those deposits! The loss of hanging once is 1

The few players in Gongqiu City are very unhappy, and the thieves outside the city are black, who can they deceive! Such a large number of thieves appeared in the Central Plains region with a high degree of development, who would believe it! What's even more hateful is that these thieves' offensive and defensive attributes are much higher than the defenders in the city, and this battle is lost!

The strangers slipped away one after another, and the defenders of the city were also speculating. They are all new soldiers, and the original veterans in the city have all been transferred to the direction of Peng Guo. Now in the face of such a large number of 'thieves' under the city, I am not afraid that it is absolutely fake.

This kind of fear is not only for the soldiers, but also for the officials and guards in the city, and they know more information, and it is very strange to constantly draw soldiers, and now they see so many thieves under the city, they will inevitably feel that they are the bait that has been thrown out, and they are outcasts.

As a result, Gao Gan attacked for less than half a day, and the defenders in the city suffered only hundreds of casualties, and the morale of the defenders completely collapsed.

The population and goods were quickly transported, and the senior cadres roughly calculated, and captured nearly 50,000 people in Gongqiu and nearby villages and towns, plus thousands of prisoners, as well as a large number of materials and goods, and they paid only 100 casualties, this business is too cost-effective, no wonder so many people like to do business!

Gao Gan's heart was also raised for the first time, and his eyes couldn't help but focus on Pei County, Pei County only has 10,000 defenders, but the population in the city is 70,000 or 80,000, plus the surrounding population, how can there be 100,000 or so, this is a huge piece of fat, if the defenders of Pei County are the same as Gongqiu, that

Gao Gan emptied Gongqiu, and then gathered troops to attack Pei County to the south, all the way to the past, Gao Gan was very happy, but to Pei County, Gao Gan organized troops to attack but found that Pei County's resistance was quite tenacious, Gao Gan hesitated, but the surrounding intelligence showed no signs of Cao Jun's mobilization.

Moreover, Gao Gan carefully observed the head of Peixian County, there were many people on it who were assisting in the defense, it seemed that it was the people who were spontaneously defending, worried about being captured by thieves!

A day siege failed, Gao Gan had to camp down, ready to attack again tomorrow, looking at the precarious appearance of Pei County, it should not be able to survive tomorrow.

Who knew that in the middle of the night, Gao Gan was suddenly awakened by a burst of thunder and earthquakes, and then the scouts sent the worst news, a cavalry of more than 20,000 Cao troops suddenly appeared near Pei County, cutting off Gao Gan's back road.

Gao Gan realized that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly wrote to Yuan Shao and Yan Liang for help.

Yan Liang received Gao Gan's letter of help, and immediately understood that the matter was irreparable, this was a trap from beginning to end, and now even if Gao Gan was sacrificed, the dirty water on Yuan Shao's body could not be wiped clean, rather than that, it was better to simply bite off the bait thrown by Cao Cao, so as to take advantage of it first.

Without waiting for Yuan Shao's reply, Yan Liang led the cavalry to the south, and captured Chang Xi and Xue County of Peng State in one fell swoop, which was only less than half a day's journey from Pei County, and at the same time ordered Gao Gan to defend the camp to the death, if Le Jin and Liang Xing refused to retreat, then they would work together to defeat them.

Yuan Shao received a letter of help from Gao Gan and a battle report sent by Yan Liang soon after, knowing that the matter was irreparable, so he had to preemptively announce that Cao's army had invaded the border, and he was forced to fight back, and at the same time sent a high-profile envoy to the north, making a posture of forming an alliance with Fang Zhiwen to attack Cao Cao.
