This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 623 Jizhou

Yingcang City, the largest city in northern Hebei.

The breath of war is approaching the city, and the city is much more bleak than before.

The Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck, the people at the bottom are often the most aware of subtle changes.

The world is difficult, and the wars of the last days have lasted for many years.

A few years ago, during the Wanping Rebellion, Yingcang City was in turmoil for a while, but now the familiar feeling has returned.

The movement of Zhenbei Army has become the focus of attention of the entire Yingcang City.

A few days ago, there was news that the Northern Army from Youzhou Town was going south.

"Once the Zhenbei Army goes south, Jizhou will be covered with thousands of miles of red land, who can survive?"

"A world of great struggle is also a world of absolute suffering. Although the world is big, there is no place to live in peace."

The nobles, common people, traffickers and pawns in the streets and alleys were all discussing this matter, and some original shops along the street were also closed early.

Although Cao Su in the north has a good reputation, it's hard to say for sure what the Zhenbei Army is like without meeting him.

Capable people left Yingcang City early.

Those who are aware of the crisis have also stockpiled enough food early in the morning, and they will never leave the house unless they are prepared as a last resort.

Of course, there are also people who firmly believe that the Zhenbei army led by Cao Su is a regular imperial court officer and soldier, and naturally they will not commit such evil acts as burning, killing, and looting. There is no need to make a fuss and escape from Yingcang City.

Under such a disturbed and complicated mood, everyone waited for the mighty [-] Zhenbei Army.

The armor is like a forest, and the swords and halberds are in pieces.

The Northern Army of Hundred Thousand Towns represents the remarkable achievements of Cao Su's rejuvenation and recharge during these years in Youzhou.

Almost effortlessly, Cao Su took Yingcang City and took the first step into Jizhou.

So far, Cao Su has obtained the bridgehead of Jizhou, Yingcang City radiates southward to the hinterland of Jizhou. If there is no obstacle, he can reach the capital of Jizhou in less than three days.

"You really don't care about me?"

In the Mansion of the City Lord of Ying Cang City, Cao Su in military uniform held a secret letter.

The secret letter came from Jizhou Prefecture, and since Cao Su had raised his troops, he naturally paid the most attention to Jizhou Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture.

Among them, Shi Kaibi, the lord of Gwangju Prefecture, is a dull and weak person by nature. He took the position of lord of the palace because of the honor of the Shi family, a big family in Gwangju. Command the cities.

The biggest difference between Cao Su and the two governments lies in the control over ordinary cities.

According to Cao Su's view, this "city lord system" has too many disadvantages, which is very unfavorable to the centralization of power, so that the local dominance affects the stability of the court.

At this time, Cao Su had already led his army into Yingcang City. According to reason, the Jizhou government should also take action, but the fact is that the Jizhou government seemed to turn a blind eye to Cao Su's army going south, and Pu Chengye didn't even give a shit. Dare to let it go.

The most active ones are actually the Chiyun Sect and Dingtian Palace, the two forces in the arena.

"Our army is powerful. Previously, Guangzhou and Lingzhou were invaded by the bandit Wei Hai, and the state capitals suffered a lot."

"The bandit Wei Hai is still in Guangzhou for cholera. Under his command, he summoned the remnants of the original Wanping. They claim to have [-] people, and they walk along the mountains, lakes and seas of the state like they are walking on flat ground."

Beside Cao Su, several confidantes discussed the news of the two states.

No movement is the strangest reaction. Cao Su doesn't believe that the so-called "Declaration of Rebellion" can scare the big bosses of the two states.

"It is said that Pu Chengye was a student of Taiwei Rong in the past. Pu Chengye has been in Jizhou for many years, and all the forces in Jizhou obey him to govern."

In the literati forest, Cao Su's reputation is not very good, but now because of the existence of Rong Taiwei, Cao Su's reputation seems to be better.

Taiwei Rong stepped onto the stage of power stepping on Yu Wenqi, and brazenly launched a mutiny. He has torn off the cloak of a literati, revealing his wolfish ambitions, and is despised by others.

But even so, in the eyes of many scholars, Rong Taiwei is still a representative of the gentry.

Cao Su, on the other hand, is always the image of a warrior, not the same as a scholar.

Zhongjin pointed out the relationship between Pu Chengye and the Rong family, and Cao Su was also vigilant about it: "Jizhou Prefecture will not be weak in combat power, not to mention that with the help of Chiyunzong, the best result is naturally that Pu Chengye recognizes the situation. Make the right choice, but we also have to be prepared to fight the Jizhou Army."

There is no word "careless" in Cao Su's dictionary. Although the Zhenbei Army is now strong and strong, it only shows that he has some basic advantages.

The battlefield is changing in an instant, and the world is weird and changeable. Maybe the opponent has some amazing means to reverse the strength.

While the few people were talking, they heard an urgent call from outside the tent.

"Report-"

The sergeant hurriedly rushed into the tent from outside.

Cao Su immediately stopped talking and moved his hands away from the map.

Zhongjin next to him was dissatisfied: "Why are you so flustered?"

The messenger soldier who hurried in, handed over a letter with both hands.

The letter turned out to be a letter of war sent by the Jizhou government.

Cao Su couldn't help laughing after reading the war letter, and all the staff members in the camp showed curiosity.

Cao Su handed the letter of war to everyone for circulation: "I didn't expect Pu Chengye to be a gentleman who knows benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette."

"He said that he didn't intend to fight against Cao, but Cao rashly raised troops and set foot on the border of Jizhou. This is an act of treason and treason. As the governor of Jizhou, he has the responsibility and obligation to prevent me from continuing to make mistakes. He Persuade me to turn back quickly, or you will personally lead an army to drive me back to Youzhou?"

The battle of Pu Chengye's war book often has the meaning of arrogance, but the rules are still transparent.

He even said that he had the opportunity to take Yingcang City directly and keep Cao Su out of Yingcang City.

Considering that undeclared war is not a gentleman's action, this is why he specially wrote the war letter first, and asked Cao Su to meet at Jiehe.

The Jiehe River is a large river in the south of Yingcang City, the boundary of Jizhou Prefecture is to the south of the Jiehe River, and the boundary of Yingcang City is to the north of the Jiehe River.

After reading Pu Chengye's gauntlet, everyone showed strange faces.

For a moment, he didn't know how to describe Pu Chengye's behavior.

On the contrary, Cao Su dropped a stone. He was afraid that the people in Jizhou and Guangzhou would not respond. It would be unfair for him to win many cities. The chief officer of the city under his command completely controls the land he sets foot on.

"That shows that Pu Chengye has already made preparations. The boundary river has a wide terrain, which is indeed suitable for a direct meeting."

Zhongjin frowned and said, "It stands to reason that the Jizhou government should not have enough troops. What gave Pu Chengye confidence and confidence?"

"Don't be careless. Jizhou has been the land of Middle Earth since ancient times. The land is flat and the soldiers are strong, and the heroes are benefiting."

Cao Su ordered in a deep voice: "Since Pu Chengye dared to make a tactic, he must be prepared to deal with it."

"The order continues. No one in the entire army is allowed to drink alcohol today. Be on guard during wartime. Tomorrow, we will set off at four o'clock and set off at five o'clock to forcibly cross the Liangjie River!"

Seeing Cao Su's serious expression, everyone solemnly clasped their fists and accepted the order.

The next day, Cao Su personally led [-] elite troops to fight out from Yingcang City.

Of the [-] troops, [-] were vanguard cavalry led by Ma Chao.

Jizhou is mostly flat land, and there is no need to open roads and build bridges in the mountains. Cavalry can be used as pioneers.

If you go to some places with many mountain roads and it is difficult to march on official roads alone, it will be more difficult for cavalry to be the vanguard. Except for an advantage in speed, other aspects are relatively weak, let alone the foundation of building bridges and opening roads. hard work.

The cavalry is relatively more "delicate".

Cao Su led the remaining [-] troops and followed Ma Chao's vanguard.

The residents and people in Yingcang City only heard the sound of the horn blowing. The soldiers in the whole city kept coming in and out, and the cloud of war shrouded the sky over Jizhou.

Cao Su sits in the central army, which is heavily guarded. In addition to the [-] tiger and leopard cavalry guards, there are also many elite infantry and archers. Combining internal and external, they marched slowly towards the Jiehe River.

There are actually several cities between Yingcang City and Jiehe, but if you look at it from a straight line distance, there is almost nothing in between.

Cao Su is confident that many cavalry under his command come and go like the wind, and the whole of Jizhou is mostly plains and wilderness.

The [-] troops came out and ran wildly in the wilderness of Jizhou.

In less than two days, the army was about to leave the boundary of Yingcang City, and at this time it was very close to the boundary river.

Cao Su, who was riding on a war horse and leading the army forward, had faintly sensed that there seemed to be an extremely thick power of energy and blood ahead.
-
The Jizhou army formed a compact formation by the boundary river and set up camp.

Backed by the Boundary River, it has the heroic momentum of a last-ditch fight.

Pu Chengye did not go out with the army, and it was Zhen Cang, known as the number one general in Jizhou, who led the army this time.

Zhen Cang is also a top-ranking master of strength, and has followed Pu Chengye for many years.

Originally, it was just a nursing home of the Zhen family. By chance, he met Pu Chengye who was visiting the Zhen family. Afterwards, Pu Chengye took him out of the Zhen family and treated him as a confidant.

Years later, Zhen Cang grew up to be the number one general in Jizhou, and Megatron Jizhou.

His martial arts has reached the first-grade level, and it is second to none in the whole Jizhou.

Moreover, Zhen Cang is not only good at martial arts, but also familiar with the art of war, and knows the battle formation. Under his drill, the Jizhou government soldiers are brave and mighty. When cleaning up Jizhou rogues, Zhen Cang easily swept Jizhou.

Therefore, neither the Wanping Rebellion nor the subsequent anti-kings in various places had much impact on Jizhou.

With Zhen Cang's Ding Hai Shenzhen, Pu Chengye is as stable as Mount Tai.

Until this time, Zhenbei General Cao Su personally led the Zhenbei Army to the south.

This is the biggest test for Jizhou, and both Pu Chengye and Zhen Cang attach great importance to it.

"Cao Su beat Rong, this is nonsense."

Before Zhen Cang set out to fight, Pu Chengye had instilled in him the "non-compliance" aspects of the enemy.

No matter how Taiwei Rong seized the power of the center, it is not Cao Su's turn to attack the "little general who suppresses the north", let alone Cao Su's name of "suppressing the north". , How can you leave your post without authorization?

"Going south without authorization, how can the safety of the north be guaranteed? Cao Su's move is clearly ignoring the law and despising the court!"

Although the current court exists in name only, Pu Chengye still borrowed the righteousness of the court and denied Cao Su's legitimacy from different angles.

So Zhen Cang led the army to go out, and Jizhou Fang thought he was on the side of justice.

At this time, Zhen Cang submitted a letter of war to Cao Su according to Pu Chengye's instructions.

Zhencang set up camp on the edge of the boundary river, and with the help of the boundary river, he was going to have a showdown with Cao Su here.

After Zhen Cang followed Pu Chengye, he also got married and started a business. Although he is now in his fifties, he has a lot of children and grandchildren. This time he led the army to go out, and all his sons in the family went with the army.

The three armies set up their formations, and when the agreed noon arrived, they saw smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and a group of troops came rushing from the north.

Zhencang's spirits lifted, and he immediately ordered all the troops out of the camp to fight.

I saw a young general rushing to the front riding a black dragon-like horse, building a chain of gold lock armor, holding a gilt tiger head gun, with a majestic and majestic aura.

"Who is coming?"

On the side of the Jizhou army, a young general also rushed out, and it was Zhen Meng, the fourth son of Zhencang.

Ma Chao replied loudly: "It is Ma Chao, the vanguard of General Zhenbei, and I am here to arrest you under the order of General Zhenbei!"

Zhen Meng was furious, he swung his spear and dragged his steps to fetch Ma Chao, Ma Chao returned the horse with a long spear, and the infantry and cavalry immediately fought together.
