Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Youzhou Soldiers Go South

The recruitment not only brought Yuan Shang's family members to Handan, but also took away all the family members of Hebei civil and military officials who were in Yecheng.

Even the family members of the trial were all taken away, and Yuan Xi, who knew who opened Yecheng and surrendered in history, was very happy.

If the nephew of the trial Rong dares to surrender, his wife and children may not be able to be saved.

In June, the scorching sun was like fire, Yuan Shang, who fled to Julu County, stopped his pace, and Wei Yan, who took over the defense in the city of Ghou, unceremoniously accepted the remnants of Yuan Shang's defeated generals.

"Third son, my father-in-law said, don't let his father's life's hard work be wasted, you better rest well, go to Youzhou to retire after clearing the chasing soldiers, and then see how the end will teach Cao Thief a lesson."

Yuan Shangqi's stomach was bulging, but there was nothing to be done, all the soldiers under him were depressed, if it weren't for Wei Yan here, they didn't know where to run to stop.

Just after the afternoon, just after the reorganization of Yuan Shang's subordinates, Gan Ning arrived at the gall Tao, laughed and opened his arms and said: "Wen Chang, the lord asked me to help you, the military advisor is in Wuji to see which of us will defeat the Cao thief first!" ”

"Gan Xingba, you bastard! Aren't you playing fresh, what are you doing here? ”

Wei Yanden was in a hurry, he was preempted by Gan Ning last time, and he came back today.

Gan Ning smiled proudly: "The fight has been completed, Brother Xian Yu has surrendered to our lord, and now it is our gang." ”

"You...... No, I will fight this battle. ”

"Why are you beating me, Wen Chang, your idea is very dangerous, the lord said, you must be sincere and united, don't fight for each other......"

Gan Ning looked serious, but no matter how he looked at Wei Yan, he felt that he was sassing, he was just proud of being cheap and obedient.

But the truth can't be explained by others.

Wei Yan has a strategy in his chest, but he has always been weak in his mouth, otherwise he would not have offended so many colleagues in history.

Gan Ning was born as a gangster, he has been a water bandit, don't look at him as fierce as a hungry tiger, but he has a sharp mouth, gags, and slaps the table and scolds his mother, and he doesn't lose to those literati at all.

ridiculed Wei Yan until he was about to jump, so he got serious.

took out the military order and said: "The military division deployed you to fight the main force and I assisted, I came on a rapid march, so I brought two thousand cavalry outside the city, you say, how to fight this battle, I will listen to you." ”

Wei Yan, who was not angry, was choked up and almost couldn't get up, pointing at his thick neck, it took a long time for him to recover, and said stupidly: "Lao Tzu will be angry with you sooner or later." ”

"Hahaha......"

The sound of laughter came from afar, and after those who had fled here looked at each other, they suddenly became bolder, what are they afraid of with such a general.

It will be the courage of a soldier, a tiger with a flock of sheep, dare to attack a group of hungry wolves, everyone understands this truth, but no one can do it.

There are many such stupid boldness in the Three Kingdoms, Gan Ning is one of them, and he is one of the most outstanding ones, giving him a few hundred people to dare to attack tens of thousands of troops.

But it is such a person, and he is cunning very well, it can be said that the Jinfan thief Gan Ning is as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a fox, so that he can cross the Yangtze River, whether it is Dongwu or Jingzhou, he cannot be exterminated.

"Look, I'm going to ...... this battle"

Wei Yan, who calmed down, showed his talent as a general, analyzed his original plan with Gan Ning, and finally said: "Now that you have your 2,000 cavalry, this battle is better to fight......

After some explanation, Gan Ning also seriously deduced with him, the two went to prepare, and after a while, Gan Ning went out of the city with dozens of cavalry.

Cao Hong, who was chasing Yuan Shang, saw Yuan Shang enter the city, and wanted to attack the city immediately, but he saw that the banner on the city was clear, and the guarding army was waiting for him to make a mistake.

After retreating ten miles, he set up camp and waited for the followers to come immediately, and in the afternoon, suddenly the soldiers came to report that dozens of people had entered the city.

Cao Hong immediately asked people to investigate, and soon after the report, those people went out of the city again.

"What did the lord say, why hasn't the follow-up arrived after so long?"

Cao Hong, who understood that something was wrong with Gall Taocheng, frowned and asked, his subordinates reported that the army was still besieging Yecheng, and the follow-up men and horses on his side were still twenty miles away, and they would not arrive until evening.

Cao Hong snorted dissatisfiedly: "How did Zhang Wenyuan lead the troops, he is good after resting for a long time, is this way an outing!" ”

"Uncle Zilian, don't be in a hurry, Wen Yuan has always been cautious, let's chase in a hurry and run faster, and he has to clean up the back road, it's normal that the speed won't be fast."

Others didn't dare to persuade Cao Hong, but it was his nephew Cao Xiu who spoke, who was called the general of the Cao family's Qianli Ju by Cao Cao, and his reputation in Cao's army was no less than Cao Hong's.

Although Cao Xiu is a nephew, his grade is not small, and he also followed Cao Cao to fight the world during Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and he was the first coach of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard ride.

It's just that Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry has not yet been formed, and there has just been a rudimentary pure cavalry team, and now it is Cao Xiu who has brought it.

Cao Hong snorted twice, no longer dissatisfied with Zhang Liao, he actually knew that Zhang Liao was right, but he was just anxious to attack Yuan Shang and get angry.

Yuan Shang fled all the way to the speed very fast, and Cao Hong, who was chasing fiercely, was also very fast, but although Yuan Shang was defeated at this time, most of the counties in Jizhou were actually under Yuan Shang's hands.

It's just that the county seat along the way is too small, there are few soldiers and horses, Yuan Shang doesn't dare to stop, if Zhang Liao is as fierce as Cao Hong, it is likely that someone will copy the back road.

"General, the people of Hebei are coming to us when they go out of the city!"

Cao Hong was about to let the soldiers bury the pot and cook, and the horses came to report that Wei Yan had left the city, and the two battalions of men and horses followed out of the city, and it seemed that they were going to attack Cao Hong.

The army of the Han Dynasty was different from the northern and southern armies, and the Youzhou army belonged to the northern army, and Yuan Xi did not change these.

Some things in the future can be used and some can't, the environment is different, and if you copy it rigidly, it is actually a dead end.

The army's combat methods are different, and he needs to be more cautious, and he doesn't have time to think about these, anyway, the Han army has always been elite enough, so it's a good choice to follow this.

Wei Yan took three battalions to the south this time, leaving one battalion in Zhongshan to protect the back road, the first battalion of the northern army was 2,000 people, and the southern army was 2,005 people, and he took 6,000 people to the south.

"Ready! Ejection! ”

As the order was given, Cao Jun began to shoot, and the Youzhou Army put up a big shield and stepped forward, Cao Hong looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

Turning his head to look at Cao Xiu, he said, "Whose subordinate is this, is there such a neat military formation in Jizhou?" ”

Cao Xiu's brows were tightened, and his eyes were also full of horror, the Jizhou soldiers were known to the world, but the most elite group of 70,000 or 80,000 people were all buried alive by Cao Cao after the Battle of Guandu.

The only ones left who can be called heroes are Zhang He's Euphorbia, but the Euphorbia has already surrendered to Cao Cao with Zhang He, and is now one of them.

Moreover, the number of euphorbia soldiers is not large, only 800 people, which belong to the heavy infantry, and the army in front of him is obviously not.
