After a night, Chen Yan slowly got up, family affection is particularly extravagant in this era, so the joy that Chen Yan and Xiao Fengxian brought him this time was almost indescribable.

Early in the morning, Chen Yan didn't have time to get dressed, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, Chen Yan heard the sound and knew that the person who came was Chen Gong.

Sure enough, I heard Chen Gong whispering outside the door: "Lord? Lord? ”

Chen Yan smiled in his heart: "This Chen Gong, you want to wake me up again, and you are afraid of disturbing me, what is your low shout?" ”

Thinking of this, he immediately said aloud: "Gongtai, is there anything wrong?" ”

After that, Chen Yan went out with Xiao Feng in his arms, handed over the child to Xing'er, and then came to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong's face was serious, but there was excitement in the seriousness, which showed that this matter was very important and a good thing. Sure enough, I only heard Chen Gong say: "General Xu Rong has already arrived outside Puyang City at this time, and he can launch an attack tonight!" ”

"So fast!"

Chen Yan was shocked when he heard this, although Xu Rong had already arrived near Puyang a long time ago, but with Xu Rong's character, he would first arrange it before taking the attack, for a powerful enemy like Cao Cao, Xu Rong's actions would definitely be more cautious, but Rao was so, Xu Rong was able to prepare in such a short period of time, and was ready to attack, such an efficiency really made Chen Yan impressed.

Chen Gong was also very excited, obviously he was still worried about avenging Lu Bu in his heart, he hurriedly asked: "Lord, do we want to send troops in time to give General Xu Rong a response?" ”

Chen Yan nodded and said: "Of course, General Xu Rong's side is not a lot of troops, although there is Xu Chu's help, but I am afraid that it is still difficult to break through the city garrisoned by Cao Cao, we finally took Liyang, occupy such a good geographical location, how can we not help him." ”

In the previous war, although Chen Yan damaged his vitality, but after more than ten days of rest, the state of the entire army has risen greatly, and Chen Yan has always paid attention to the war by fighting, if he can't go out in time, I'm afraid these soldiers will slack off.

Chen Gong looked at Chen Yan with concern and asked, "Lord, ...... your injury?"

Chen Yan accepted a hundred canes, but at this time, he had not recovered at all, and it was difficult to even get on the horse, but in order not to delay the fighter, Chen Yan had to bite the bullet and say: "It's not in the way at all, my young man's physique is recovering quickly." ”

Chen Gong heard this, but he just smiled bitterly, he was not a fool, he knew what Chen Yan's injury was, but seeing Chen Yan's strong spirit, Chen Gong had to nod and smile.

Since he got the news from Xu Rong's side, Chen Yan immediately rectified the people, and by the evening when the sky was about to be dark, Chen Yan had already sorted out the soldiers in the entire Liyang City.

There were about 200,000 men and horses, and the cavalry and infantry were clearly lined up. In addition to Huang Zhong, who was injured and could not play, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu were in excellent condition, not to mention Cao Ren this time, even all the generals of Cao Cao's army were dispatched, and I am afraid that they would not be able to stop Chen Yan's offensive.

Chen Yan looked at his army, very satisfied, suddenly remembered Lu Lingqi, and immediately said: "By the way, bring Lingqi with you, after so many days, she should have regained her senses." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, and hurriedly walked towards the room where Lu Lingqi was.

During these days, it is said that Lu Lingqi is being imprisoned, but in fact, it is at most a house arrest, Lu Lingqi eats and walks all day long, almost without any obstacles, but she has no right to approach the army, and she can't contact Chen Yan.

Now hearing the news of Chen Yan's dispatch of troops, Lu Lingqi was excited, her face had become red, she looked conscious at this time, but in her heart she was overturned, this period of time, I am afraid that this fierce woman has already lost her mind.

The army pulled out, and went towards Puyang, after the last time Lu Lingqi acted rashly, Cao Cao at this time had already become a frightened bird.

Therefore, Chen Yan's attack on Puyang this time will definitely not be easy.

And at this moment, in Puyang City, Cao Cao had obviously heard some rumors, and he was sitting in the council hall, obviously a little anxious.

Beside him, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and other strategists, as well as Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Yu Ban and other generals, all arrived, looking like they were giving it a go.

Cao Cao gently stroked his slender beard and said in a low voice: "Chen Yan is afraid that this time he is going to have the final battle, Xu Rong has already come to the city, according to the scout's report, there is already a movement on the side of Liyang City." ”

Xun Yu nodded, his eyes had already lost his former composure, and he only heard him say: "Chen Yan's strength this time is about 200,000, plus Xu Rong, I'm afraid there are 250,000, if we fight head-to-head, the chance of winning is not big." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, although he knew that it was the truth, his face suddenly became gloomy.

At this moment, Xi Zhong suddenly spoke: "I heard some rumors from Chen Yan, saying that he himself had just received the punishment of the cane, and I am afraid that he would not even be able to ride a horse. ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Oh? Really? ”

Xi Zhong smiled slightly, obviously very confident, and said: "This source is true, Chen Yan at this time is indeed not suitable for the expedition. ”

When everyone heard this, they seemed to be active all of a sudden, Chen Yan was the backbone of their army, and the backbone of the army had been seriously injured, so the difficulty of this battle had been reduced a lot.

Xiahoudun immediately added: "If I remember correctly, Huang Zhong's old guy was also seriously injured last time, and it seems that Chen Yan does not have an absolute advantage this time. ”

Cao Cao nodded, a pair of small eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, the available generals in their army are only one Guan Yu and one Zhang Liao...... Hehe, we can't afford to waste such a good advantage. ”

When everyone heard Cao Cao's words, they all came to their senses all at once.

……

Chen Yan led the army to gradually march towards Puyang, his injuries had not healed at this time, and only with the help of the iron plate on the armor could he fix his body on the horse, but such a cumbersome iron plate obviously limited his movement, coupled with the bumps on the horse, Chen Yan at this time, although he had not walked a few miles, he was already sweating.

Jia Xu on the side followed closely, he saw it in his eyes, and naturally knew that Chen Yan was in pain, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Lord, if you are not feeling well, we can find someone to carry you." ”

Chen Yan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "When the army marches and fights, it is the generals who take the lead, if I am carried away, wouldn't it be the same as death?" ”

Jia Xu didn't expect Chen Yan to say such unfortunate words, and immediately shook his head and said: "The lord must not say such ominous words, marching and fighting, the most taboo is unlucky." ”

Chen Yan hurriedly smiled and took two sips, and suddenly had an idea, and asked, "Mr. Wenhe, you said that I was punished with a cane, did Cao Cao know about it?" ”
