Cao Cao's face was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "Shi Xin is full of tricks, brave and strategic, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, our army still needs to send another person to meet General Guo Yan, who is willing to go?"

One will bow his hand to the ranks: "I have not made an inch of merit since I surrendered to the lord, and I am willing to serve the lord with this battle!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, "If you have to go far away, everything will be worry-free!"

This general is eight feet tall, dignified, and a little elegant on his face, it is Zhang Liao, the old general of Bingzhou who defected to Cao Cao a few days ago.

That day, he was separated from Lu Bu and the others, only to feel that he was still ambitious and could not bury his skills. Looking at the princes from all walks of life, Cao Cao was the most heroic and a lord worth following, so he rushed to the direction of Yanzhou overnight and voted for Cao Cao.

Xiahou Yuan shouted "No" and came out again: "Lord, Guo Yan is a general, and Zhang Liao is also a general, what if these two people lead the army to vote for Shi Xin? You must know that Zhang Liao has served the Bingzhou Army for many years, and he used to be Lu Bu's number one general." Now that Lu Bu, Chen Palace, and Gao Shun are all working hard under the Holy Sect, who knows if they will surrender to him?

He turned his face to Zhang Liao and hugged his fist again, "General Wenyuan, don't blame, Xiahou Yuan is a rough man, he has always spoken very straight, and he is also thinking about the great cause of the lord. ”

Zhang Liao was suspicious, his face was hot, and at the same time, a wave of anger rose in his heart, and he said loudly: "According to Xiahou Miaocai, then Zhang Liao will not have to lead troops to fight in his life, so why join the camp of the lord? Just go home and farm!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was still squinting at himself, Zhang Liao rushed forward with enthusiasm and arched his hand towards Cao Cao: "Count me as a non-person, farewell!"

After saying that, he walked towards the door without looking back.

Cao Cao hurriedly stopped Zhang Liao and persuaded him with good words: "Zhang Wenyuan doesn't need to be like this, as Miaocai said, he is a rough man, and he never thinks about the consequences when he speaks, don't take his words seriously." I am deeply honored to join Wenyuan, and I never believe that Wenyuan is a treacherous person. ”

After thinking for a while, he replied: "I'll allocate another 7,000 people to you, and then let Wen Ruo accompany you, be sure to stop Shi Xin!"

Zhang Liao arched his hand and said, "Thank you, lord!"

Besides, Guo Yan and Yang Xiu led 7,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to the east with murderous spirits.

Yang Xiu pondered on the road: The sect leader got a hint from my secret letter and escaped, but now there are only 3,000 soldiers in his body, and Guo Yan is more than twice as much as him. I heard that in the first battle of Chang'an, he and my master sneaked into the rear of the Liangzhou soldiers, turning their tens of thousands of horses upside down, but at that time, it was to take advantage of their unpreparedness, and Lu Bu was in front to attract firepower, and Yang Feng Dong Cheng was the internal response. Now the contest of real swords and guns cannot be tricked.

He looked at the arrogant Guo Yan next to him, and continued to think: This guy led his troops and horses to obey Cao Cao, and he usually offended the generals of Cao Ying, and Cao Cao must have heard of it, so could he be so indulgent with him? This is not a question of strength, but a matter of stabilizing the morale of the army, with Cao Cao's eloquence, it is impossible to let it go, but he does not want to fall into the notoriety of crossing the bridge and drawing boards, and the most likely thing is to find an excuse to kill Guo Yan.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiu suddenly realized: By the way, didn't Guo Yan make a military order? Cao Cao was so jealous of the sect leader, and his subordinates had just suffered a defeat, and Xiahou Yuan still needed 10,000 soldiers and horses, how could Guo Yan be allowed to lead fewer 7,000 soldiers into battle, and even set up a military order? Could it be that Cao Cao just wanted to use this opportunity to kill Guo Yan with the help of the sect leader, so as to firmly control the surrendered Liangzhou army?

Yang Xiu combined with Cao Cao's personality and became more convinced of his guess. Since Cao Cao had this meaning, he had no choice but to be an adult, push Guo Yan, and let him go to see the king of Hades in advance.

Besides, Shi Xin and the others had already passed the girder after a round of hurrying and went to Jiyin. When we arrived in Jiyin, we had only passed half of Yanzhou, and half of the goal had been achieved.

According to their estimates, when they arrived in Jiyin, the vanguard had already begun to enter Licheng in Jinan County, which was the beginning of success.

Now it is dark, and it is not conducive to marching. Even if they barely set off, the distance they walked would not be too far, they fought a big battle, and after another day of traveling, they were already sleepy and tired, so Shi Xin ordered to camp in place, eat and rest.

Except for Gao Shun and the trapped camp, all the generals have gathered, they have eaten, and they are pulled into the military tent by Shi Xin.

Xu Rong was the first to come out: "My lord, according to the report from the spies, Guo Yan led Yang Xiu and has chased our army to camp two miles away. They had 7,000 people, and most of them were soldiers and horses from the original Liangzhou Army, including 3,000 cavalry, and they kept saying that they wanted to catch the lord, and the lord should make plans as soon as possible. ”

Shi Xin smiled mysteriously and said, "General Xu doesn't need to be frightened, I have a strategy to retreat from the enemy." ”

The generals saw that he was confident and listened intently.

"Guo Yan came with the crowd, and he must be brave. Now that the moon is dark and the wind is high, he will come and rob the camp. General Xu will be prepared accordingly when he goes out and let him rob him. When he falls into our trap, we'll catch them all. ”

Chen Gong was not worried and said: "What the lord said is extremely true. But even if he came to rob the camp, we would not be able to help him with our 3,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Come here with your ears, the plan is like this......"

Guo Yan military camp.

"What? You let me rob the camp?" Guo Yan was first taken aback when he heard Yang Xiu's words, and then said disdainfully, "I have more than twice as many soldiers and horses, so why bother playing those useless conspiracies? ”

The corners of Yang Xiu's mouth lifted, and an expression appeared on his face: "Doesn't the general usually hear some gossip?"

Guo Yan's eyes widened, "What gossip?"

"Don't be in a hurry, general, let me tell me carefully. The generals under the lord's account secretly ridiculed that the Liangzhou generals only had the courage of a horseman, and the Liangzhou troops were a group of rabble. Although they did not name names, the general thought about it, who are they targeting?"

Guo Yan slapped the table and said angrily: "Who else can it be, it must be me! No wonder so many people usually point fingers behind my back, it turns out that they are saying bad things about me, these dog thieves!"

Therefore, for the sake of the general, Dezu set up this plan to rob the camp, just to shut them up, so that everyone could know that the Liangzhou army also has generals who can use tactics. Yang Xiu remained silent and continued to agitate, "General think about it, head-to-head confrontation is the simplest method of warfare, even the stupid and stupid Xu Chu will do." As the so-called "soldiers surrender without a fight", obtaining the maximum results with the least casualties is a great tactic, so robbing the camp is the best choice for the general. ”

Guo Yan's heart was hot, but he was still not at ease, "What if the other party is prepared?

"The general is too worried, in fact, the other party's thoughts are the same as those of most of our generals, how can the Liangzhou generals use tactics? It can be seen from the fact that they let us camp nearby and ignored them. Besides, even if they were prepared, we had enough troops and horses, and we couldn't help us if we went in and slowly retreated. ”

"Hmm~"

Guo Yan pondered and basically agreed with Yang Xiu's thoughts.

"If the general agrees, don't reveal that it's Yang Xiu's intention. Otherwise, if it spreads, the name of the general's reckless man will still be difficult to wash. Yang Xiu seemed to be completely thinking about Guo Yan, but in fact he was preparing for the future, "Also, since it is a robbery camp, the general should not bring too many soldiers, I think a maximum of three thousand is enough, I will lead the rest of the soldiers to follow closely and take care of it, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

Seeing that Yang Xiu was working so hard, Guo Yan even thought of his own reputation, and couldn't help but smile, "Yang Dezu has thought about it thoroughly. You have worked hard for me, and if this plan succeeds, I will kill Shi Xin and become the governor of the capital, and I will ensure that you will join the army. ”

Yang Xiu was overjoyed, "That Dezu first thanked the general for his kindness." ”

It was night, dark clouds covered the moon, and everything was silent.

Guo Yan led 3,000 soldiers and horses, with a lot of grass and horses, and quietly covered up and killed Shi Xin's camp. Soon after Guo Yan left, Yang Xiu also ordered his troops and horses, and after falling behind him, he sent scouts to pay close attention to the battle situation and act at the opportunity.

Guo Yan came to the Shi Xin camp not far away, only to see that there were blind lights and black fires inside, patrols were scarce, and the entire military camp was silent and defenseless.

"Hehe, Yang Xiu really didn't guess wrong, they expected that I was a reckless man and would not rob the camp. The defense is so lax, it's damn to death!"

After touching a few feet ahead, the soldiers in the barracks were already clearly visible, yawning one by one, falling crookedly, and some even cursed in a low voice that they had to patrol all day, and their hearts were even more certain.

Guo Yan raised his palm, and three thousand torches behind him lit up, illuminating the vicinity. With a loud shout, "Kill!" was the first to ride his horse and rush in!
