Cao Thief

Chapter 218 Qu Yang (33)

Zushui originates from Weishan.

It flows through Pengcheng State, Xiapi State, and enters the Huai River after reaching Guangling.

Quyang is located on the bank of Zushui.

From Xiaxiang to Haixi, you must pass through Quyang.

Qu Yang's long name is Wang Mo, from Le'an, and he is quite prestigious in Xuzhou, as famous as Zhou Kui from Xuyi.After Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, he also recruited many local celebrities, and Wang Mo was one of them.In the three years since he served as the head of Quyang, Wang Mo has made outstanding achievements, and has grown Quyang County, which was originally only 2 people, to 3 people.Today, when Xuzhou's population is generally on the decline, it is not a small political achievement.

In the morning light, Quyang looked extraordinarily peaceful.

Song Xian rode his horse to the outside of Quyang city, but saw that the city was deserted, and there was no one.

"Is there someone on duty in the city?"

Song Xian asked loudly.

After a while, a man protruded from the crenel of the archery tower and asked lazily: "The county magistrate has an order. Quyang will not open the city gate today... Anyone who passes by, please go around Quyang. It is not the order of the county magistrate and General Song." , no one is allowed to enter or leave. Hurry up and go..."

Song Xian couldn't help being stunned, but at the same time, he felt a little happy in his heart.

The county magistrate, and General Song?
Isn't that just talking about me?This Wang Mo is a person with eyes, and after returning to Xiapi in the future, he will definitely recommend it to Wenhou Haosheng.

He shouted loudly: "A certain family is Song Xian."

"You are General Song?"

The people on the watchtower were obviously taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"If you were General Song, then I would be Marquis Lu Wen... Hahaha, General Song just left yesterday, how can I look like you."

Song Xian's face suddenly turned red.

This guy is not pleasant at all...

"A certain family is Song Xian, and I have the Tiger Talisman to prove it. Quickly report to County Magistrate Wang, saying that the military situation is urgent, and order him to open the city gate immediately."

As he spoke, Song Xian took out the Tiger Talisman and shook it in his hand.

"It's really General Song!"

The small school in the city couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly open the city gate, it's General Song who has returned."

Song Xian's hanging heart immediately returned to his stomach.But think about it, it's really embarrassing!Yesterday I set off in a mighty way, but after a day, I came back in despair.Six thousand troops, six thousand troops... Song Xian felt a heartache when he thought about it.

The city gate creaked open.

Song Xian urged his horse to go to the gate of the city. When he saw that he was approaching the gate of the city, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the cave of the gate: "Which one is Song Xian?"

Who is so impolite to call me by my first name?

Song Xian was furious, and quickly raised his head to look into the city gate.There was only a sound of horseshoes, accompanied by the faint sound of bells.A fast horse rushed out from the opening of the city gate, and the general immediately wore a battle robe of brocade with hundreds of flowers, a lion armor and a jade belt around his waist.

"Song Xian, Gan Ning has been waiting here for a long time."

Gan Ning?

Who is that?

Song Xian was a little confused...

I have never heard of the name Gan Ning, how long have you been waiting for me?
As if his head had been opened all of a sudden, Song Xian was so shocked that he took off his big gun and looked up.

But even so, it's still a bit late.A white horse rushed up to him like flying through the clouds under the morning light.

Immediately a general came to Song Xian with a big knife in his hand, without saying a word, he dragged the knife past Song Xian.

A cold light flashed, and blood sprayed.

In an instant, Song Xian was beheaded by someone who came.The head fell to the ground, and Gululu kept rolling.As for the headless dead body on horseback, blood spurted from the cavity, and the mount under the crotch was instantly stained red.Not only did Song Xian fail to react, but all of Song Xian's entourage also stood at the gate of the city stupidly.What happened, why was General Song killed?
After Zhao Yebai rushed out of the city gate, Xi Yuyu hissed.

The iron palm under the hoof gleamed in the sun.The general on the horse was even more majestic and murderous.

jingle-
The bell rang, and the man immediately stood at the bottom of the city gate.

"Song Xian is dead, if you don't give up your weapons and surrender, when will you wait!"

The sound is like a huge thunder, echoing in the sky: Song Xian is dead, Song Xian is dead...

Accompanied by this thunderous roar, only the sound of sobbing trombones could be heard from the city gate tower.From both sides of the city gate, Hu La La rushed out of more than two hundred soldiers, holding big spears and spears, staring fiercely at those followers, and surrounded them.At the same time, a young general appeared behind the crenel of the watchtower.Standing in his early seven feet, he was wearing a big red Zen robe with a robe inside.Wearing a lun scarf on his head, a jade belt around his waist, a big knife in his palm, and a calm expression on his face.Behind him, followed by two strong men, each holding a big gun in their hands.

"I am Hailing Lieutenant Cao Peng, a rebel Song Xian has invaded the country, and I will kill him.

Within three breaths, you put down your weapons.After three breaths, if there are still people holding weapons and riding on the horse, shoot them to death! "

His voice was not very loud, and even had a hint of youthful childishness.

However, in this early morning, there was a sense of treachery.As soon as the voice fell, the big man behind him shouted sharply: "One!"

Before the shouts fell, a clang sounded, and one of the followers dropped his weapon and rolled to the ground from his horse.

"I surrender, I surrender!"

If one person leads, a second person will follow, and a third...

In a blink of an eye, Song Xian's more than 70 followers dismounted one after another, threw away their weapons, and prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.

Gan Ning, who was sitting astride Zhao Yebai, couldn't help spitting, "Damn, a bunch of eggless bastards."

He raised his head and looked towards the tower.But found that Cao Peng has disappeared.Standing on the tower was one of the two who had just guarded Cao Peng.

His name is Wang Xu.

After Cao Peng decided to send troops to help, he led 800 Hailing elite soldiers and left Hailing County early the next morning.Why [-] people?It also included [-] temporarily recruited heavy soldiers, and [-] patrol soldiers that Xia Houlan had previously recruited.

Gan Ning was the vanguard, Cao Peng led 300 men as the central army, and Wang Xu Zhai Jiong led 200 men to escort the luggage.

Just as he was about to arrive at Huaishui, Cao Peng received a second letter from Deng Ji.The first letter was received at Sheyang, and the content was very simple. Deng Ji asked Cao Peng to send troops to help immediately; but the content of the second letter surprised Cao Peng...

Deng Ji said in the letter: Haixi does not need to rush to help, and Song Xian is just a mob.

However, Song Xian has already taken it, and Lu Bu is no match.After defeating Song Xian, Lu Bu will definitely send troops to conquer.The real danger for Haixi was not Song Xian's [-] troops, but Lu Bu's second dispatch of troops.Therefore, Deng Ji believes that if we want to keep the achievements of Haixi in the past year, we must not allow the flames of war to ignite under the rule of Haixi, and we should resist the enemy outside of Haixi... Please Cao Peng lead his troops to attack Quyang overnight.

"Who planned this?"

"Uh, when the villain was about to leave, Deng County ordered Mr. Deng Zhi to be the Sima of the other department."

Hu Ban replied cautiously: "Moreover, the county magistrate Deng entrusted all the soldiers and horses in the county to Mr. Deng Zhi, and he planned to resist the enemy."

Deng Zhi?

Cao Peng suddenly realized.

He knew his brother-in-law too well, and Deng Ji didn't have the courage.

Deng Ji is not a person who is good at military affairs, including Cao Peng, nor is he handsome.A person who can come up with strategies such as keeping the enemy out of Haixi must be a bold and strategic person.

Deng Zhi, she really came!
Not every traverser can become a military genius.

Cao Peng himself knew that it was okay to let him come up with some ghost ideas and come up with some heresy.

If it really involves marching and fighting, strategizing, you can't do it just by reading two military books.Military books and war strategies are only teaching the basis of war.Cao Peng has read Sima Law, read Sun Tzu's Art of War, and even read a few chapters of von Klauwitz's "On War" in his previous life.But so what?He still failed to become a military prodigy, and in the end he was nothing more than a criminal policeman in a small county town.

Perhaps, some people will say that after systematic study, you will definitely be able to achieve something.

But the problem is that Cao Peng did not graduate from a military academy in his previous life.Even if they come out of the military academy, not all of them can become generals...

So after rebirth, Cao Peng will try to avoid touching military matters.

To train and rule the army, there is Wang Xu Hao Zhao; to charge into battle, there is Gan Ning, Pan Zhang and Xia Houlan; to make suggestions, Kan Ze is enough!
All he has to do is make good use of these people.

The arrival of Deng Zhi will undoubtedly benefit Deng Ji and Haixi greatly.

This is not to say that Cao Peng and Deng Ji are useless.At least in terms of governing the local area and strict laws and regulations, Deng Zhi is inferior to Deng Ji; and in terms of solving cases, finding out the truth, and being flexible and changeable, Cao Peng is much better than Deng Zhi.The ruler is long and the inch is short. In this kind of thing, it is really hard to say who is stronger than the other.It can only be said that some things are born and not everyone can do it.

Throughout the dynasties, there are countless people who have read military books and war strategies.

But there are only a few famous generals...

Some things really need talent.On this point, even Cao Peng is not convinced.

"Deng Bomiao wants me to capture Quyang?"

"Exactly."

Cao Peng immediately understood Deng Zhi's intentions.

"Hu Ban, you rush to Hailing immediately, let Buzishan go to Guangling County, and ask Chen Taishou for help. Say that Lv Bu wants to plot evil, and Cao Gong will attack sooner or later. Please send troops as soon as possible. All you need is to garrison Huaiyin. I will spend the night. Huaishui, cooperate with Deng Bomiao's actions."

Without further ado, Hu Ban immediately agreed.

Don't you Chen Deng want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?

There are no easy things in this world... I captured Quyang and forced you to garrison Huaishui.Even if you don't want to get sick, it's impossible.

Huaiyin, in terms of governance, belongs to Xiapi State.

However, due to the regime change in Xuzhou, the Huaiyin area has been controlled by Guangling to some extent.

As long as Chen Deng stationed troops on the front line of Huaiyin, Zhang Liao could be forced to stay in Xu County, and the soldiers in Huaipu County could be restrained.

Presumably Deng Zhi's strategy of resisting the enemy from outside the territory also contains this deep meaning.

That night, Cao Peng crossed the Huai River without anyone noticing at a bend in the lower reaches of the Huai River, east of Huai Pu.It was the time when Deng Zhi cut off the swimming water, which made the water flow downstream of the swimming water very slow.Especially in the section of the river north of Huaipu, the river is only below the knees.In this way, Cao Peng didn't have to do much to swim, and arrived outside Quyang County in the early morning of the first day of September after swimming in the west.

Song Xian just led his troops to leave.

Wang Mo was not even the slightest bit wary.

No one would believe that Song Xian's [-] troops could not conquer Haixi.

Moreover, Quyang is not too far from swimming, and even less than a day's journey by horseback.Under such circumstances, what fear does Wang Mo have?

So, at noon, Cao Peng ordered Gan Ning and Xia Houlan, each with fifty elite soldiers, to sneak into the city in batches.After dark, Gan Ning set fire to the city, causing riots in Quyang.After Wang Mo learned about it, he immediately led people to calm down, but was ambushed by Xia Houlan on the way and beheaded on the long street.After Gan Ning raised the fire, he immediately led people to rob the city gate.At the same time, Cao Peng stormed from outside the city, and under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, he captured Quyang with almost no effort.Subsequently, [-] soldiers and horses entered Quyang, and Cao Peng ordered the city gate to be closed.He didn't know whether Deng Zhi could catch Song Xian in one go, so he didn't dare to take it lightly and took precautions.

The lessons learned by Wang Mo are still in front of us, how can Cao Peng repeat the same mistakes?

————————————————————

"Give me an order that the armed forces must not disturb the people.

At the same time, the treasury was opened to distribute food and grass to the people in the city.From now on, Quyang is banned at night, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without an order. "

Song Xian's body was packed properly, and a thin coffin was also prepared.

Cao Peng did not embarrass Song Xian's followers, and ordered them to send Song Xian's body to the lower minister.

At noon, Deng Zhi led Pan Zhang, Zhou Cang, Deng Fan, and [-] Haixi elite soldiers to the outside of Quyang City.After Cao Peng learned about it, he greeted Quyang in person.

"Five brothers!"

Under the city of Quyang, Cao Peng embraced Deng Fan vigorously.

Then they met Zhou Cang and Pan Zhang one by one, and then came to Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi, with handsome features and outstanding appearance.Different from Deng Ji's elegance, Deng Zhi has a heroic spirit, which makes Cao Peng feel heartbroken.

"Deng Bomiao?"

"Cao Youxue!"

After the two met, they almost called each other's name by coincidence.

Cao Peng was surprised by Deng Zhi's calmness, while Deng Zhi was a little surprised by Cao Peng's age.

Although he already knew that Cao Peng is only 15 years old this year.But when Deng Zhi saw Cao Peng with his own eyes, he was still shocked.

"I often hear the name of Deng Bomiao mentioned by my brother-in-law. I saw Deng Bomiao today, and the name is well-deserved." Cao Peng looked at Deng Zhi, cupped his hands and smiled, "The water flooded the three beaches, and the six thousand bandits disappeared in an instant. The elder brother's plan is really great. , I admire you so much."

Deng Zhi also laughed and said, "I have heard about You Xue's schemes for a long time. I saw you today, and you are indeed a young hero."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Immediately, Cao Peng took Deng Zhi's hand and walked into Quyang County together.

In the county town, the barracks had already been arranged, and eight hundred Haixi soldiers and horses immediately entered the school grounds.

Cao Peng, Deng Zhi and others sat high in the yamen hall.Gan Ning, Xia Houlan and Wang Xu sat on the left; Zhou Cang, Pan Zhang and Deng Fan sat on the right.

After the two parties were seated, Deng Zhi coughed lightly.

"Today's big defeat of Song Xian is not my fault, Song Xian is really incompetent.

However, although Song Xian was defeated, Lu Bu would not let it go.In a few days, Lu Bu will definitely send troops here, and there will be a fierce battle at that time... Youxue, your official worship is Hailing Lieutenant, and you are also the governor of the eastern part of Guangling.Do you have a plan for the next battle? "

His words attracted everyone in the hall to focus their eyes on Cao Peng.
