It stands to reason that according to the information on the surface, there are only one or two thousand thieves in Lu County, and if regular soldiers and horses kill him, two thousand is enough.

But because these three are competing with each other, they are not only thieves, but also colleagues.

Everyone didn't say yes, how to divide the seizure!

There is naturally no harm in bringing some people with you. At that time, no matter according to the results of the battle, according to the strength, according to the head, there will be something to say.

The three generals are not stupid, and with this thought, they each counted all their subordinates up-

Li Ji is worthy of being the queen of the gate, inheriting the bloodline of the ancestor Li Ling's long-distance attack, gathering soldiers and horses faster than others, eight thousand parts, all playing green flags, and the wind generally rolls out of Youzhou.

Taizhen Ma Xu Qing sent his eyes and ears to inquire about his two situations, and heard that Li Ji had brought 8,000 people, so he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

His subordinates only have 5,000 people, which is too small at the moment, so he can't wait to even take the yellow dog who guards the house away, and hurriedly find a few friends from the powerful family, and gather 3,000 people, so that they can make up 8,000, all of them are red flags, and they are busy setting off.

The slowest is He Chongguang.

The military system of the Liao State is complex, there are leather room army, subordinate Shan army, local town army, tribal army, forbidden army, etc., the number of names is inexhaustible, the regulations are different, some are paid by the state, and some are privately raised by generals. It is the open-source method that the generals came up with to bear the military expenses.

Wu Yanguang is the commander of the army, and has the right to command the soldiers and horses of all armies, but the deputy commander He Chongguang does not have such power, and the soldiers and horses under his command are all forbidden troops of the Southern Army, and since they have the same name as the Great Song Forbidden Army, their style is also similar, and they slowly gathered nearly 10,000 people.

When he learned that Li Ji and Xu Qing had been out of the city for a long time, he was so anxious that he didn't want to wait for the whole army to assemble, so he took these eight or nine thousand people and hurriedly killed them in Lu County.

But said Lao Cao, at night bypassed Lu County to the west, walked three or five miles along the way, just saw a river, called Liangshui River, there is a stone bridge on the river - from Youzhou to Lu County, if you do not pass through this bridge, you have to detour the long road.

After crossing the bridge, along both sides of the road, mulberry trees become forests, which are extremely vast.

Lao Cao opened the picture of birds in the world in Kyushu, compared it carefully, and said with a smile: "Here it is, first break his reinforcements, and then try to capture the city according to the situation." ”

At that time, all the armies were ordered to rest in the mulberry forests on both sides.

Wonderful at this time, although Chongyang has passed, it is still the time when the autumn tiger is raging, and everyone is crowded together in the forest at night, but it is not cold.

The army ate some dry food, took the forage they carried with them and fed the horses, in groups of three or five, each huddled to sleep, and Lao Cao called the generals to arrange how to fight if the reinforcements from Youzhou came tomorrow.

Some officials asked, how did you fight? Whew, it's just so, so, so, so.

The next day, Lao Cao pinched his fingers and counted the time, then called Ma Ling to go to the direction of Youzhou to investigate, and in the afternoon, Ma Ling stepped on the hot wheels, flew back, reported: "A group of soldiers and horses drove up, waving the cyan banner, about 8,000 up and down, running very quickly, and the team was scattered!" ”

Lao Cao was surprised: "Good Liao dog! I asked Lin Chong to lead only 300 people to fight the city, just to show the enemy weakness, and to slowly lure him to increase his troops, he actually came to so many people at one time, so steady, if you want to come to Youzhou, there must be someone who is good at the art of war, but you can't underestimate him. ”

"Iron Dragonfly" Niu Wenzhong is an old thief, since before Tian Hu's incident, he is a famous strongman in the green forest, but he has a different opinion on this matter, hearing Cao Cao's words, hesitated for a moment, or couldn't help but say: "Brother Wu, I'm afraid it's not too much to worry about?" In the eyes of the younger brother, it is not a steady situation for them to come here, but to take advantage of the name of Lin Jiaotou to attack Lu County, and take the opportunity to rob the people in the city! ”

This is exactly what a wise man must miss when he thinks a thousand times, Lao Cao woke up suddenly when he heard the words, and slapped his thigh: "Oh, my brother is right!" Now that his army is not in the country, and Youzhou is a heavy place, it stands to reason that he will not easily dispatch such a large number of soldiers and horses. ”

Shaking his head and smiling: "I made a mistake, I never thought that wealth and wealth are moving, a city of wealth, his generals know, how many are not moved?" Ah! ”

exclaimed, suddenly got up, and looked at the brothers: "If you say that, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses he came are not a share!" Otherwise, no matter how anxious that army is, it shouldn't be so hurried that it disperses the queue! He was so anxious that someone would still fight for it, so he was bent on grabbing a head to drink the soup. ”

After that, he patted Niu Wenzhong and said, "If it weren't for Brother Wenzhong's reminder, I would have almost missed a big event!" Although our army is fine, after all, there are few people, and it is a pity to fold one more. ”

Niu Wenzhong, if you talk about chivalry, righteousness, and courage, it is difficult to compare with many other heroes, if you say that the philistine is sleek, he can be counted on Liangshan.

At the beginning, Cao Cao captured a number of western generals, Bian surrender and Yun Zongwu were unyielding on the verge of death, and were subdued by Lao Cao Xiao with great righteousness, only Niu Wenzhong was used as a raft, and Lao Cao drank loudly, so frightened that he knelt down and asked to surrender.

There are a lot of people who have seen this matter, and it has slowly spread, and those good men in Liangshan who are above the top of their eyes don't say it on their faces, how can they secretly look up to him? Like him, a veteran of the green forest, it is naturally not difficult to distinguish whether others treat each other sincerely, so since he went up the mountain, he has been somewhat afraid.

At this moment, he was slapped by Lao Cao, praised it, and his bones suddenly lightened, and he hurriedly said: "Brother, if Liao Dog comes, the younger brother is willing to be a pioneer to kill the enemy!" ”

Lao Cao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! I'm afraid that this battle will be fought, and you don't need to wait for the cavalry generals in the first formation, just call Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon to lead the five hundred swinging warriors to take the lead. ”

When the three of them heard this, they were surprised and delighted, and even Fan Rui didn't expect that the first formation would be his turn, let alone Xiang and Li.

Fan Rui was happy, but he regretted: "Hey, it's a pity that my three hundred demon soldiers stayed on the mountain, otherwise only these eight hundred people would be enough to fight thousands of troops." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "The world is so big, the coming day is long, why don't you worry that there are no magic soldiers to show their hands?" It's just that the firearms used by the demon soldiers have to be changed from time to time, which is not conducive to our rapid change of battle. Let's just rely on your own skills to kill the enemy today! ”

Fan Rui smiled: "With this sickle alone, I will also cut off his head one hundred and ten." ”

Niu Wenzhong said: "Brother, since this is the case, there are not many junior brothers with a three-pointed knife!" ”

Cao Cao saw that he asked for war again, his mind turned slightly, and he immediately guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Brother Wenzhong is a good piece of steel, and he wanted to use you on the blade, but you were happy when you heard the battle, but you couldn't wait for a moment." In this case, you will partner with Fan Rui, wait for the Dang Warrior to defeat the Liao army, and capture him to see me in the future. ”

Niu Wenzhong was ecstatic, patted his chest and shouted: "If you don't take that Liao dog's head, I'm willing to take my own head." ”

Cao Cao laughed, stroked his back with his hand, and said kindly: "Liaogou's 10,000 heads are not worth you, brother, you are comparing the sky to the earth." ”

All the heroes laughed when they heard this, Niu Wenzhong saw these people for the first time in several years, and he was originally a little pretentious, but at this moment, his hands and feet trembled slightly, his eyes were hot, and two breaths rushed out of his nostrils: "Little brother, little brother only needs to die for his brother." ”

Hu Sanniang watched from the sidelines, and secretly admired Lao Cao in her heart: "It has always been rare to see him doing things outside, it turns out that his ability to make men is greater than his ability to make women!" ”

After a short time, Li Ji led his 8,000 men to hurriedly cross the stone bridge, and walked another mile, when he suddenly saw a pure black horse in the middle of the road, and immediately a man, with a wide robe and big sleeves, with an open arms, revealing the armor inside, carrying a sword on his back, carrying a huge scythe, draped in his hair, looking up at the sky, up and down his body, showing arrogance everywhere.

There is a division of teaching: if the three of them have my teacher, the dragonfly spreads its wings and perches on high branches. The demon king stood with a sword on his back, and Jin Wu carried a bow and a white feather gallop.
