Cao Yingxing troops went out of Xuzhou. Xuzhou was in an unprecedented panic.

Tao Qian gathered the generals to discuss, lay on the bed, cried before speaking, and cried loudly: "I was guilty of heaven, causing the people of Xuzhou to suffer this great calamity. ”

All the civil and military attachés know that the city of Xuzhou is broken, that is, when their heads are in a different place, they all say in unison: "Cao Jun has arrived, Qi can wait to die, and I am willing to live and die together in Xuzhou." ”

Tao Qian's old face was vertical and horizontal, lying on the chair, and the whole person was extremely old, which made people feel very sympathetic.

At this time, Zhang Lang had only returned to Xuzhou for less than a week. I have heard that Cao Ying has broken through dozens of cities, killed people all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and I was very shocked in my heart, and I couldn't imagine that I was negligent for a while, so that Xuzhou could go through this great disaster.

Although he slowly changed the history through history, it did not affect the entire Central Plains.

Seeing Tao Qian blaming himself so painfully, Zhang Lang felt a strong pride in his heart, and said loudly: "Tao Gong doesn't need to be so worried, although Cao Ying is strong and strong, and recently adopted the Yellow Turban, but he has done such a thing that people and gods are angry about, but all people with lofty ideals will blame his name and scold his deeds." Today, Tao Gong Xuzhou's soldiers are nearly 100,000, and they have not stopped training at night, and they are very powerful, and the two armies are fighting, not necessarily defeated. Moreover, the city of Xuzhou is tall and thick, and the valley stone is abundant, which can be insisted on for a year and a half, and adults can rest assured. ”

Tao Qian and the others listened to Zhang Lang's words, and their hearts were a little steady, but they were still very worried.

At this time, Chen Deng also came out and said: "Lord, Cao Ying has long had ambitions for Xuzhou, but he is just suffering from excuses, even if there is no matter of Cao Song, sooner or later he will send troops to Xuzhou." Today, there is a general Zhang Lang in Xuzhou, and Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, which can make him block Cao thieves. ”

Zhang Lang saw that except for Chen Deng and Chen Qi, everyone was shocked, and secretly sighed that all of them were not people who had achieved great things, and said casually: "Seek injustice with great righteousness, our army will have the full support of the people. ”

Tao Qian saw that the matter had come to this, and saw that Zhang Lang was full of confidence, and there was no choice but to agree to his request.

At this time, Mi Zhu was a little calm, and asked: "What is the general's plan to defeat the thief?" ”

Zhang Lang shook his head with a smile and said: "There are no defeated thieves, and it is not difficult to retreat from Cao Bing." ”

Chen Qi, who had been bowing his head and pondering, was very quiet, suddenly his eyes flashed, and he asked, "How will Zhang Lang retreat from Cao Bing." ”

Zhang Lang smiled mysteriously and arched his hand: "I'm sorry Mr. Chen, the secret of heaven must not be leaked, you will know in the future." ”

Seeing that Zhang Lang was so confident, Chen Qi nodded with a smile and didn't speak.

Zhang Lang is so confident that he can defeat Cao Ying, in fact, it is very simple, just because he is a talent from the 21st century.

At this time, Zhang Lang said again: "Tao Gong, I wish to ask Mr. Mizhu to go with me to break the Cao army." ”

Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhang Lang to ask him to go with him, so he turned his head sharply and saw Zhang Lang smiling at him. Then he recovered and said, "My subordinates are willing to go." ”

Tao Qian didn't have any idea in his heart, so he agreed immediately.

Zhang Lang actually has a good intention, and he wants to go with him, so that he knows his ability, so that when he leads Xuzhou in the future, he may support himself with his mentality.

In August 193 AD, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian ordered Zhang Lang, the general of Yamen, to command all the horse infantry in Xuzhou that could mobilize a total of 70,000, of which more than 10,000 followed Gao Shun to guard Langyao, together with the deputy generals Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu and others to meet Cao Ying.

One of the parting words, Wen Jifeng's eyes were full of tears, and she told Zhang Lang over and over again to take care of herself, and the pair of sisters also had tears on their faces, because now they know that this is not to pacify the bandits, but to fight with Cao Ying, who has an army of 300,000 with hatred, and only 60,000 soldiers in Xuzhou are available, which is too different. I'm only afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. Xiu'er was even with Wen Ji all the time, and she felt very uncomfortable for some reason at this time.

Zhang Lang kissed goodbye to all the girls one by one, even Xiu'er. Although she looks shy.

Also in the envious look of all the girls, Yang Rong accompanied Zhang Lang on a journey. The expectations of all the women fell on Yang Rong, and she wanted her to take good care of Zhang Lang. Be sure to bring him back unharmed.

And the people of Xuzhou are even more narrow-minded, wishing them early victory and return.

After everyone's discussion, Zhang Lang decided to lead the troops to live in Xiaopei as the front line, echoing Xuzhou from afar.

At this time, he was gathering people in Taichung, Xiaopei Mansion to discuss with the general.

It was the first time for Dunjia and Tai Shici to participate in such a major event, and they deeply felt Zhang Lang's love.

Zhang Lang spread out the map of Xuzhou County on the table, called everyone around, and then said slowly: "Now I boast about Haikou in front of Tao Gong and the people of Xuzhou, and set up a thief army, can the generals have a clever plan?" ”

The handsome Zhang Liao first spoke: "I have long heard that Cao Ying can fight well, and there are many fierce generals under him, recruiting Yu Xun and other famous people in Yanzhou, and taking advantage of the defeat of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, more than 300,000 infantry from horses, cutting down my Xuzhou, its edge is fierce, our army can first use the plan to defend Langya, Xiaopei, Xiapi counties, as long as it can last for a few months, autumn and winter, plus Yanzhou drought and locust plague for many years, the other party's supply will definitely be difficult, then our army can attack everywhere, avoid its elite soldiers, cut off its grain route, Cao Gang does not fight and is in chaos, and the danger of Xuzhou can be solved. ”

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "No, the army is strong, we can't hold it to the death, in Yanzhou to Xiaopei is only a few hundred miles, and I am used to other people's grain roads, there will be defense, in Feng's view, Gao Shun can go out of Langya, hold Dongguan, and attack Lu, I must be afraid that Lu will lose, otherwise Gao Shun's army can be Pingchuan and approach Dongjun, which is where the foundation of Lu is." Once Gao Shun contained the Lu State, Cao Ying would have some scruples when he sent troops to Xuzhou. At the same time, a large general can lead the troops to live in Jiuli Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a place where soldiers must fight, if there are soldiers coming, refuse here, if there are no soldiers, they can be made to go straight into Qixiang and coerce Juancheng. At the same time, the three military horses came out together, and they were afraid that Dongjun would be lost, and retreated to Yanzhou, which was a plan to attack instead of defend, and encircle Wei to save Zhao. ”

Zhang Lang thought for a while and didn't speak.

Mi Zhu didn't want to interject, but seeing Tian Feng's clever plan, he praised it: "Mr. Tian has a very good idea, if I send someone to Tiankai in Kongrong Qingzhou, Beihai, to ask him to send troops, Cao Bing will retreat." ”

At this time, Cheng Yu, after listening to the opinions of the two, finally came up with his own ideas and said: "My view of Wenyuan and Yuan Hao's plans are feasible, but Yu has a better idea, and it doesn't take a step to determine this danger." ”

Cheng Yu saw that everyone looked up at him, stroked his beautiful temples and said confidently: "The people Cao Ying is worried about are Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Buye." Today, the soldiers are out of Xuzhou, Yanzhou is empty, but a letter can be sent to Puyang Lu Bu overnight, ordering him to send troops to Dongjun, and he will retreat without a fight. ”

Tian Feng patted his head and shouted: "Zhongde is so wonderful, Feng didn't expect it." ”

Zhang Lang Shihui is happy, Cao Ying and Qingzhou soldiers, who are like wolves and tigers in the eyes of others, have so many good plans to break Cao under their own strategists. It's just that they haven't grasped their own ideas yet, and they want to establish their position in Xuzhou and deify their abilities in the first battle of Xuzhou, so it will be easy to take over Xuzhou after Tao Qian.

Then Zhang Lang looked at Guo Jia again.

Guo Jia was only 23 years old at this time, young and young, but he was a talent, with bright teeth and bright eyes, and he was dignified. It's a pity that the official history died young, otherwise Zhuge Liang would have gone out of Qishan six times, and the opponent would never be Sima Yi, but Guo Fengxiao.

He was originally a small sesame official under Yuan Shao, but he wanted to resign and return to the country, but he happened to receive a letter from his friend Cheng Yu, saying that Zhang Lang in Xuzhou was a master, he knew Cheng Yu's vision, and flew to Xuzhou overnight.

After arriving in Xuzhou, Zhang Lang has not yet returned, but carefully observing the soldiers of Xuzhou, seeing Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun are all brave, training the soldiers of Xuzhou, all of them have high morale and good combat effectiveness, and see Tian Feng is resourceful, Cheng Yu is so respected, and he knows that Zhang Lang is indeed a hero in troubled times.

Zhang Lang returned to Xuzhou for less than a week, and the two didn't know much about each other, when they heard that Cao Ying raised troops to kill Xuzhou. Guo Jia's heart was filled with a sense of touching the Lord.

Zhang Lang saw that he was smiling and silent. Interestingly asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia rarely had the steadiness of this age on his face, and when he saw Zhang Lang asking, he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Brother Zhongde's plan is very clever, but in Fengxiao's opinion, this is a great opportunity for the general to establish his authority, and he can't fake the hands of others." ”

Tian Feng knew that Zhang Lang had already intended to take over Xuzhou, and he had to listen to Guo Jia's words to be able to stand up in Xuzhou, so he asked: "What is the best strategy for Fengxiao?" ”

Zhang Lang saw that Tian Feng did not underestimate Guo Jia because he was young, but abandoned his prejudices and asked Guo Jia for advice, and he was very happy. I have seen a lot of things in history that will not be compatible, and I hope that my subordinates will not.

Guo Jia smiled at Tian Feng, and then said: "Mr. Tian's clever plan is absolutely feasible, but I am afraid that once Gao Shun attacks Lu State is blocked, and Cao Ying sends troops to guard Jiuli Mountain, the two wings of our army are frustrated and cannot advance. ”

Tian Feng laughed and said: "Feng Xiao is too worried, Gao Shun is familiar with military books, and he knows that it is the way of the general, if he attacks Lu, he will know that the whole matter is concerned, and he will never get out of the mud and water with one blow." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "This is very good, but Cao Yingsheng's surname is suspicious, which can make the general beat the drum at night in Jiuli Mountain, only defend and not attack, and he will be confused." At this time, the army will definitely be attracted to Jiuli Mountain, and another general can be ordered to make a detour to Manggu Mountain, go straight to Dye County, and insert Qi Township obliquely at lightning speed from behind, and attack the soldiers guarding Jiuli Mountain before and after, this battle must be fast, if it wins, Cao Ying will know that Juancheng is in danger and retreat to Dongjun.

Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, Zhang Liao and others all shouted in unison.

Guo Jia said confidently: "As long as we grasp the word "fast" in this battle, our army's retreat from the enemy will be successful. ”

Zhang Lang heard Guo Jia's plan, it was really extraordinary, and he caught Cao Ying's suspicious characteristics, and the soldiers of Jiuli Mountain only defended but did not attack, but beat the war drums, and secretly made people detour to the rear, such a good plan can only be thought of by Guo Jia and the princes. At the same time, I also remembered that the history books commented on Guo Jia, saying that his plan was exhaustive, and every plan must be successful, all of which were the characteristics of the surname Ke of the enemy's main general, the way of marching and arranging the formation, etc., and he was breaking it.

It seems that what this man said is true.

On the battlefield in ancient times, a strategist, a general, and an absolute value of thousands of troops and horses. Zhang Lang also has a deep understanding.

Mi Zhu was dumbfounded, Cao Ying's 300,000 army of civil and military officials in Xuzhou talked about the tiger's discoloration, and in the plots of Zhang Lang's men, there were so many plans to defeat the enemy, and all of them were exquisite. At the same time, a strange feeling arose in his heart, Zhang Lang must know what his subordinates' skills are for himself? Mi Zhu frowned and thought hard, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, in the dark, he already knew Zhang Lang's intentions, he was demonstrating to himself! Know for yourselves his strength and surrender to him.

Zhang Lang secretly observed Mi Zhu from the corner of his eyes, and saw that his face was gloomy, his eyes were rolling, and he smiled secretly in his heart, and he didn't break it.

At this time, a soldier reported that Cao Ying led an army of 300,000 miles from Xiaopei to go down to the village.

Zhang Lang saw that Cao Jun had arrived, and he was arrogant, and encouraged loudly: "Okay, I will fight today, I will be famous all over the world, and all the generals will prepare, and they will fight with me together to meet the enemy." ”

The generals took the order with a bang.

Early in the morning, Zhang Lang led 10,000 troops out of the city to meet the battle, and secretly ordered Cheng Yu to lead 10,000 crossbowmen to lie on both wings, and 5,000 archers to lie under the banner of the Chinese army.

After the three-way drum, Zhang Lang had a golden armor, a brocade robe and a jade belt, and a big knife in his hand, and immediately stepped forward. Left and right lined up Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zangba, Tai Shici, and other generals. The flag is fluttering, the clothes and armor are distinct, and the lineup is neat. It can be seen that the training is quite well-trained.

Zhang Lang looked at Cao Ying's army from afar, and the Chinese army erected two white flags, and the four words of revenge and hatred were written in a big book. The military horses formed a formation, and Cao Ying rode out of the battle, wearing a vegetarian shirt, and raised his whip and scolded.
