Yecheng, Wei County.
The battle report of Zhang Liao's great victory and the capture of more than 100,000 enemy troops was delivered to Cao Ang after two days of galloping.
As soon as the news reached Yecheng.
The Weijun government responded quickly.
Immediately, the news was spread throughout the city, and he also ordered fast horses to be sent to every county in Wei County. It was necessary to let every corner of Wei County know the news in the shortest possible time.
And as the news spread quickly.
The whole Wei County was immediately shocked.
Yecheng, the capital of Wei County, was even more shocked by the news.
From the officials of the aristocratic families to the traders and soldiers, all walks of life, all three religions and nine streams, were shocked by the brilliant achievements of Cao Jun.
Who is Zhang Liao?
never heard of that!
In the past, everyone only knew that the most skilled general of the Cao family was Cao Ang, the son of Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yanzhou, who is now the actual controller of Wei County.
This person is famous throughout the north, and can compete with the White Horse General Gongsun Bogui.
As for Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, I only know that he is a general under General Cao. As for his outstanding achievements, I have never heard of them.
But now this General Zhang really gave them a good show.
With an army of fifteen thousand men.
With less than a hundred casualties.
In one battle, more than 100,000 enemy troops were wiped out.
In this 100,000-level battle, excluding the pre-war preparations and post-war cleanup work.
The two sides officially started fighting, and by the end of the war, it actually only lasted half a day.
The shock produced is not even as good as the ripples caused by a stone thrown into the lake.
It can be seen that the strength of the two sides is very different.
But to say that the Montenegrin Army is all rubbish, like reed poles that will fall over when the wind blows, is really not the case.
After all, it can wreak havoc in Bingzhou without anyone being able to check and balance it, which is enough to prove that it still has basic combat effectiveness.
So all that said, it can only prove that Zhang Liao was too strong, so strong that he ignored the gap in military strength between the two sides.
All of a sudden.
I don't know how many forces were frightened by the Cao family's background, and even secretly wiped their sweat.
It’s okay to have a rebel like Cao Ang.
Where did another Zhang Liao pop out?
Not to mention those members of the Cao family who are good at conquering and fighting, these two alone are probably enough to overwhelm many forces in the world.
How can we fight with them from now on?
What a hell!
…
At this moment, in Yecheng County Mansion.
Cao Ang occupies the chief position.
Cao Ren, Xun You and others were among them.
Faced with the good news from the front line sent back by Zhang Liao, if Cao Ang and others were unhappy, it would definitely be a lie.
Although Cao Ang expected to win this battle, Zhang Liao acted quickly and achieved great results.
It was all beyond his expectation.
It is indeed Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
Although he is still young and has not experienced much experience, the so-called famous general's style has already appeared slightly.
Now he is looking at the battle report on the desk.
Cao Ang's eyes flickered for a few times.
Then he smiled at Mao Jie and said: "Xiao Xian, Wen Yuan has won a great victory. This is a very exciting thing. I will compile a letter and send it to my father later."
"As for Yuan Benzhu and other parties, I would like to trouble you to put in some effort on my behalf."
"By the way, remember not to miss General Gongsun. Happy things must be shared with everyone!"
Cao Ang made a little joke.
Everyone also echoed a few times to save face, and the atmosphere in the hall was high for a while.
…
And after Mao Jie agreed to this matter.
Everyone laughed and talked a few more words.
Cao Ang then changed the topic back on track.
"Now that Wen Yuan has defeated the enemy, it means that the overall situation has been decided. The war centered on Wei County is now completely over."
"As long as Wen Yuan returns with his army and takes care of the prisoners he brought with him in Yecheng, he will be able to free up his hands and choose any side to continue the suppression."
"All five enemy troops have retreated. It's just a matter of time!"
Everyone nodded.
How could they not understand what Cao Ang said.
Previously, five groups attacked Cao, and the situation in Wei County was critical.
That's because all the forces took action together, and Cao Ang only had one available soldier at his disposal. He was in a dilemma because of the lack of support on the left and the right.
Now Yuan Shu, Zhang Yan, Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo, the four armies have all been delayed or blocked.
And Zhang Liao has already solved the fifth road.
Then all you need to do next is to pick your opponents at will, two against one, just like knocking a mole, knocking them one by one until their heads are bleeding.
But that being said.
But on the issue of order.
Still remains to be considered.
…
After understanding what Cao Ang meant.
The others have not spoken yet.
Cao Ren took the initiative to ask Cao Ang.
"General, at present, the forces from all directions, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao are far away in Yingchuan County, a little far away from us, so I think we can put them aside for the time being."
"The remaining Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo are called two roads, but they are actually one road."
"But I don't know, General, who do you prefer to deal with first between them and Zhang Yan?"
Cao Ang did not answer immediately.
Instead, he looked at the high-definition version of the map in his hand and pondered it carefully for a while.
Just now I pointed to the Changshan Kingdom to the north of Wei County, and then pointed to the Hanoi County area in the south.
"I'm going to do it together!"
When Cao Ren heard this, he was stunned.
Are the North and South routes going to war together?
Even if Zhang Liao returns victorious, this is an almost impossible task.
But before he could say anything.
Xun You on the side raised his hands to Cao Ang and said.
"The general's intention is to subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting, and to ask Zhang Yan and others to retreat separately without engaging them in a head-on battle?"
Cao Ang nodded happily.
As expected of Xun Gongda, who had planned everything in the world, he had guessed the whole plan just by listening to his own words, and he was extremely powerful.
"What you mean by publicity is exactly what I want!"
…
"If we continue to attack the North and South Routes, it is not impossible. We will most likely win in the end, but we will lose troops and generals because of this. This is not a good thing in the Kanto region that is already in chaos."
"So I plan to use coercion and oppression to force the North and South to respond on their own."
Speaking of which.
Cao Ang casually pulled out a blank silk book from the desk, and then started writing and drawing on it.
At the same time, he spoke to several people around him.
"Zhang Yan from the north went south with an army of more than 200,000 people. After learning that our army easily defeated Sui Gu, he will definitely be several times more vigilant than before. It is actually quite difficult to defeat him easily."
"Besides, after our army has eaten more than 100,000 people from the Little Black Bandits, it will take a long time to digest the gains. It cannot eat more in a short time. Even Zhang Yan's fight is useless. "
"Therefore, on Zhang Yan's side, I plan to wait for Wen Yuan to come back and order him to go north with an army of 10,000 to pressure him and force Zhang Yan to retreat voluntarily."
for such an arrangement.
Cao Ren nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
The big and small Black Mountain bandits come from the same origin. Once Zhang Yan learns about the fate of Sui Gu and the others, he will probably shrink into a hedgehog in an instant and become a hundred times more wary of Cao Jun.
Even if you lead the troops yourself.
It is absolutely impossible to achieve the same effect as Zhang Liao.
Besides, the general is right.
More than 100,000 young people are enough to digest it for a while.
With more than 200,000 more, the burden will be a bit heavy.
…
Just as Cao Ren's thoughts were racing.
Cao Ang's voice soon came to my ears again.
"On the way to the south, I plan to ask Zixiao to lead five thousand elite troops there. There is no need to fight the enemy head-on, just pressure them."
While talking.
Cao Ang stamped his seal on the silk book he had just written, and then handed it to Cao Ren.
"The Second South Road, which has a total of more than 15,000 troops this time, is currently being blocked by Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, in the area of Chaoge County."
"The two of them are not only in a very bad position and are in a dilemma, but their troops are not huge, so we can still absorb them."
"So what you have to do is to deliver the surrender letter I wrote, block their escape route, and force them to surrender unconditionally to our army!"
The words just fell.
Cao Ren and others' eyes lit up.
If we really go by what the general said and can recruit the southern side to surrender, then the gains we will get will definitely be no less than Zhang Liao's side.
After all, although Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo have a small number of troops, they are all regular troops, and their elite level is far superior to that of the Montenegrin Army.
If you can capture these two people in one go.
The strength of the Cao family will definitely rise to the next level, and the reputation of the person who presides over the recruitment will also climb up the ladder.
Think about this.
Cao Ren said nothing.
Huo Ran stood up, bowed to Cao Ang and said with cupped hands.
"General, the last general is willing to go!"
………………
A few days later.
Located in Fugou County, Chenliu County, Yanzhou.
Cao Cao looked out the window at the setting sun, and couldn't help but light a few candles. The thickening darkness around him was instantly cut through by the light of the fire.
At this moment, Cao Cao was hunched over his desk.
He studied a map of Fugou County carefully.
But just when he looked deeply.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and then the sound of someone pushing the door open was heard.
"Fu Jun!"
Cao Cao looked up and saw that it was Xia Houyuan who came.
"Miaocai, you came at the right time. I discussed this with His Highness Prince Chen just now."
"It is far from feasible to just defend the city. If we don't go out of the city and fight Yuan Gongdao head-on, I don't know when the battle will be over."
"The situation over there in Zixiu is critical. If we can defeat Yuan Shu here sooner, I will be able to lead my troops north to support him and save Wei County from danger."
Speaking of which.
Cao Cao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He was really worried about Cao Ang.
First of all, the son faced too many enemies this time. All the soldiers and horses jointly attacked Cao, and Wei County was really difficult to defend.
Cao Cao didn't worry about anything else. He was worried that Cao Ang was so passionate and young that he made the decision to stick to Chengchi and not retreat even half a step.
At that time, the risk factor had skyrocketed!
Compared to his son's personal safety, Cao Cao honestly didn't particularly care whether he could defend or not defend the territory of a small county.
Even if you lose your own power and the outpost installed in Jizhou, what can you do?
Yanzhou’s territory is still very large!
As long as his heir is still there, and with the concerted efforts of father and son, what is lost that cannot be returned?
So Cao Cao was afraid that Cao Ang would be confused.
Although he had already sent people to rush all the way to the north, sending letters full of his sincere advice.
But Cao Cao knew that his son Cao Ang had always been very opinionated, and he was really undecided on whether he would listen to him on this matter.
…
But just as Cao Cao sighed and thoughts were swirling in his heart, Xia Houyuan took a step forward.
After giving up a little.
He handed Cao Cao a small piece of cloth.
"Master Fu, I am here to report this matter to you."
"The danger in Wei County has been resolved, and Zixiu has won a great victory. His generals Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan led their elite soldiers to use all their surprise troops to defeat Sui's entrenched Xiaoheishan Army. They killed the enemy and captured more than 100,000 alive!"
"This information was sent by Wei Jun. Judging from the handwriting, it was probably written by Zixiu himself. I guess it cannot be false. It must be the truth!"
Cao Cao: "..."
?
After being stunned for two seconds.
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened.
Then he quickly grabbed the piece of cloth and scanned the information on it.
After a while.
Cao Cao clenched his right hand tightly, holding the cloth tightly in his palm, and then took a deep breath.
"call!"
"sharp!"
"He is truly worthy of being trained by Zixiu. He is also perfect in marching and fighting. I think this Wenyuan already has some of Zixiu's charm!"
When saying this.
Cao Cao's voice was slightly trembling.
Obviously, his mood was not as calm as he showed.
On the contrary, every word and every action was filled with tremors.
…
After a while.
Cao Cao's mood calmed down slightly.
The right hand that he had been squeezing tightly just released, and he slapped the piece of cloth on the table.
"This brat!"
"To be able to achieve such a result, I think he was prepared for it, but he kept fooling around and didn't explain it clearly, which made me, a father, worried."
certainly.
Cao Cao was complaining.
In fact, I kept laughing in my heart.
Wonderful!
Well done, this battle was really well fought!
Not only did he steal the limelight once again, he also resolved the crisis currently hanging over his head.
In addition, they even gained an additional group of young people, numbering as many as 100,000.
Kill several birds with one stone.
Where can I explain such a beautiful thing?
Moreover, after this battle, Zhang Liao will also become famous all over the world along with Zixiu. From now on, all the big and small forces will know that the Cao family is definitely not someone to be trifled with!
There are two famous generals in charge.
Isn’t it true that the Cao family is in great prosperity?
While Cao Cao was thinking, Xia Houyuan's voice of asking for orders suddenly came to his ears.
"Master Fu, now that the crisis on Zixiu's side has been temporarily resolved, do we need to inform His Highness Prince Chen to slow down the offensive a little?"
Cao Cao shook his head decisively without even thinking about it.
"Let me inform Your Highness, this is reasonable, it is just to slow down the offensive, there is no need!"
"First of all, if we have to fight for a long time, it will inevitably lead to long nights and many dreams. Secondly, I will eventually have to go north for a trip. The earlier the better."
"In the end, my son Xiu defeated the enemy so neatly and neatly, but I, as a father, have been unable to defeat him. How can it be so reasonable?"
When Xia Houyuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
He immediately took the order and left.
…………
"Clang!"
"Snapped!"
In the county government office of Wusui County, Anping State.
Gongsun Zan was furious.
Several fine tea and wine sets on the table, and even some exquisite ceramic vessels, were all smashed to pieces in Gongsun Zan's rage.
The ground was in a mess of residues and tea and wine, just like the remaining clouds in the wind.
And now outside the hall door.
Several generals in Gongsun's army stood by with their eyes fixed on their noses, their eyes fixed on their feet, just like a few clay puppets.
He didn't dare to move or make any sound, for fear of disturbing Gongsun Zan in the room and provoking a scolding.
He could only listen to Gongsun Zan's angry curses quietly.
"Shuzi!"
"Child!!"
"You are really unworthy of me. You can win such a battle, and you can come back from such a losing situation."
"I already thought highly of you, but I didn't expect that I underestimated you in the end."
"Damn it!"
"You son-of-a-bitch Black Mountain thieves are a bunch of trash. More than 100,000 people could knock Cao's army over even if they hit their heads with it. That's why they ended up like this!"
…
Gongsun Zan was so angry.
In vain, he took his army and went south again, marching for two to three hundred miles and arriving at this place just to stop Yuan Shao.
As a result, Yuan Shao stopped him.
However, Cao Ang still won!
The victory was clean and tidy, costing nothing at all, not even the extra time. The opponent was eliminated in three strikes, five strikes, and two additions.
And Gongsun Zan is still stupid, fighting with Yuan Shao here.
I guess at this time.
Yuan Shao probably brought a group of people to ridicule him unscrupulously.
Especially that Cao Zixiu.
If you win, you win.
Why did you send me a battle report specifically?
Don't you just want to mock me and slap me in the face?
OK, your goal is achieved!
My face is swollen from your beating!
When he thought of how ugly he looked in the eyes of Yuan Shao and Cao Ang, Gongsun Zan was so angry that he wanted to faint.
…
It took quite a while.
Several generals guarding the door heard Gongsun Zan's voice.
"Okay, everyone come in!"
After everyone filed in.
Then he discovered that General Gongsun, who was still in a rage just now, had managed to regain his composure and was sitting in his seat with some dejection.
After seeing everyone come in.
Gongsun Zan didn't bother to talk to them.
He just waved his hand, and then ordered: "I am ordering the three armies to start packing immediately, and our troops will evacuate tomorrow at the latest."
"It's no longer interesting to stay here, get ready to go back!"
The generals were stunned for a moment.
Tian Kai was later appointed as the governor of Qingzhou, but he remained in the army and did not take office.
But he couldn't help but ask: "General, are we going back like this?"
Gongsun Zan glanced at him angrily.
He waved his hand as if to shoo away flies.
"What else can we do?"
"I will scold him, but Cao Zixiu is so powerful that he can't fake it at all."
"Not only is he powerful himself, but the generals he has brought out are all powerful. If he continues to stay here, he will only wait until he has finished handling Wei Jun's affairs and then turn around to cause trouble for us. "
"At that time, could I and you guys be able to defeat Cao Zixiu and Yuan Benchu together?"
There was something sarcastic about Tian Kai's face.
He smiled awkwardly, not daring to say another word.
Only if you can beat him can you be a ghost!
A fierce man like Yan Gang, who led his most elite cavalry, was beaten to death by Cao Ang.
How to fight this?
Beating Yuan Shao's family is almost enough!
…
At the moment of embarrassment.
Then I heard Gongsun Zan sigh again.
"Let's go back!"
"Let's go back to the state boundary to recuperate and hibernate for a while. When Cao Zixiu turns his attention elsewhere, we will fight Yuan Benchu again!"
"As long as there is no Cao Ang to take the lead, Yuan Shao alone is definitely no match for us. We still have a lot of opportunities!"
Unknowingly.
Gongsun Zan has regarded Cao Ang as an extremely powerful opponent that he has never seen in his life.
There was a hint of fear and avoidance in the words.
He only dared to fight Yuan Shao and was unwilling to fight Cao Ang.
The legendary White Horse General who was victorious in every battle.
Now I don't dare to face Cao Ang's front.
To a certain extent, this can be regarded as an extremely high degree of affirmation!
