Cao Thief

Chapter 628 The Battle of Youzhou
The update is not very stable these two days, please forgive me.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the 12th day of the first month of the [-]th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao went to war against Youzhou.

Zhang Yan led his troops to seize Guangchang, and threatened Shanggu, Daijun, and Zhuojun with a feint attack, and cut off the connection between Daijun and Zhuojun.At the same time, Xu Huang took the initiative to attack in Hukou, made an attack posture, and restrained the senior cadres in Shangdang County.

But Zhang Liao raised his troops from Shenhuting and went straight to Zhuojun.

As early as the 11th year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao dug Pinglu Canal and Quanzhou Canal to increase the speed of luggage turnover.The Pinglu Canal starts from the Hutuo River and enters the Lishui River.Its upstream is the Shahe River of later generations, while its downstream flows through the Tianjin Sea.The Quanzhou Canal started in Wuqing, Tianjin in the south, and carried Lushui (now the North Canal below Tongxian County, Beijing), connecting the mouth of the Gouhe River and entering Baoqiu Water.After the opening of these two canals, the materials from the south of the big river can go to the sea in Baigou, and then transported by sea to Liaodong.This is Cao Cao's preparations for the entire Youzhou battle.

After Zhang Liao raised his army, in just a few days, he captured Fan Yuting, broke through Beixin City, and directed his troops at Fan Yang.

If Fan Yang is destroyed, the gate of Zhuo County will be opened.

One of the generals of the Yuan army stationed in Fanyang was called Zhao Du and the other Huo Nu.

These two were new generals recruited by Yuan Xi in Youzhou. They were bandits in Youzhou before and caused Yuan Xi great trouble.

Fortunately, Yuan Shang was defeated and died in battle, and his trilogy Qianzhao and Jiang Yiqu fled to Youzhou.

In Yuan Shao's era, Qianzhao was a general who commanded an army alone, with excellent tactics.Although Jiang Yiqu's reputation is not obvious, he is also a titan who can win battles.After the two joined Yuan Xi, they immediately suppressed Zhao Du and Huo Nu and captured them alive.

Originally, Yuan Xi wanted to kill the two of them, but was stopped by the trick.

"Young master now lives in a place of bitter cold, resisting the old thieves, tigers and wolves, just need to be courteous and corporal, recruit talents, and resist together.

Although Zhao Du and Huo Nu have committed a heinous crime, please forgive their lives because they are both brave men.In this way, the two of them will definitely be grateful to Dade and return to the Young Master.At the same time, it can also set an example for those bandits in Youzhou and take advantage of the trend to recruit troops. "

Yuan Xi is very mediocre.

He is not the eldest son, he is not as ambitious as Yuan Tan, nor is he as intelligent as Yuan Shang, he is loved by Yuan Shao, he is aloof and proud.

But it is also like this, Yuan Xi is often very down-to-earth in doing things, and can listen to other people's opinions.

Yuan Xi's heart was moved by what Qianzhao said, so he personally summoned Zhao Du and Huo Nu and poured wine for them, showing great sincerity.Zhao Duhuonu, two bandits, started in the insignificant, how could he stand Yuan Xi's treatment?
The two of them burst into tears of gratitude, and surrendered to Yuan Xi without saying a word.

Moreover, the two took the initiative to plead with Yuan Xi, willing to recruit the Zhuojun bandits to serve Yuan Xi.Yuan Xi readily agrees...

These two guys recruited more than 11 mountain thieves and bandits for Yuan Xi, and were entrusted by Yuan Xi with an important task to go out of the town of Fanyang.In the [-]th year of Jian'an, the people of Beihai took charge, gathered [-] households, and more than [-] people rioted.Cao Cao sent troops in August to defeat them.Guan Cheng led the remnants and fled to the island.Jiang Yiqu suggested to Yuan Xi to recruit and surrender the troops of the Guancheng Office.Yuan Xi also agreed!In December, Yuan Xi worshiped Guan Cheng as the head of Yongnu and the captain of Hengshui.This Yongnu happened to be located on the Quanzhou Canal, and Guan Cheng was a pirate who was proficient in water warfare, so he was very suitable.

Cao Cao knew long ago that the battle in Youzhou would not be easy.

It's just that he didn't expect that just Fan Yang would make him feel great pressure.

Zhao Du and Huo Nu may not be the ones with outstanding military skills.But the two who were born as bandits can definitely be called fierce...

The two of them stick to Fan Yang and fought fiercely with Cao Jun.

At this time, Yuan Xi also sensed the real purpose of Cao Jun, and immediately ordered Shanggu to send troops to Zhuojun County to participate in the battle.

At the same time, Yuan Xi ordered Jiang Yiqu to lead his troops to help Fan Yang.

But Zhang Liao had been prepared for a long time, and ordered Cao Zhang to set up an ambush at the Dukang Pavilion, defeating Jiang Yiqu.

After Cao Zhang ambushed Jiang Yiqu, according to Zhang Liao's order, he quickly captured Fangcheng, cut Zhuo County's reinforcements, and cut off the connection with Fan Yang.And Cao Cao quickly ordered Shi Huan to capture Gu'an, and ordered Lu Qian to lead his troops to attack, stationed in Linxiang, and occupied the lower reaches of the holy water...

The downstream of this holy water is also the downstream location of Yongding River in later generations.

As a result, the connection between Zhuo County and Fan Yang was completely severed.

Breaking through Fan Yang will only happen sooner or later.

However, no one thought that the battle of Fan Yang would turn out to be extremely tragic...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
The battle of Youzhou kicked off and immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Liu Bei occupied Wancheng, although he wanted to help, it caused some troubles for Cao Cao.However, Cao Peng strictly ordered Wei Yandian to be full of Xu Yi and the three of them, not to hold out and not to fight.

As a result, Liu Beijun provoked several times, but Cao Jun ignored it.

The enemy doesn't move, I don't move!
This is Cao Peng's six-character mantra to Wei Yan.

The bigger Liu Bei's actions were, the more Liu Biao's fear of him would be.

This also made Liu Bei feel very headache.Cao Peng didn't confront him head-on at all, leaving him with all his strength, but he didn't know where to use it.

"What, Xiaoai went to Jiyang?"

Cao Peng returned to Wuyin from Ye County, and before he could catch his breath, he heard a news that shocked him.

"When did he go to Thorny Sun?"

Pu Yangyi smiled wryly, "It was just yesterday."

While talking, he took out a letter, "I asked him for morning exercises yesterday morning, but his room was empty.

According to Ding Ding, before dawn yesterday, Mr. Ai took his maidservant and several generals and left the mansion, saying that he was exercising.Ai Gongzi does morning exercises every day and wakes up very early, so Mending has no doubts.But he didn't expect that he actually stole the young master's command arrow, tricked him into opening the city gate, and never came back.I found this letter in his study, it is a letter from Mr. Ai to Mr. Ai..."

While talking, Pu Yangyi put the letter on the desk.

Cao Peng picked it up and opened the letter.

The handwriting is Deng Ai's, which Cao Peng can recognize at a glance.

Its content is roughly to tell Cao Peng, Uncle, I am going to Jiyang, back to my hometown... Don't worry, uncle, I have inquired about it, Jiyang is safe for the time being.After I arrive in Jiyang, I will contact General Fu Xun first, and then return to Dengcun.I also want to see where my parents and uncle lived back then.If possible, I will try to convey my uncle's meaning to the clan elders.

"This child, this child..."

Cao Peng was shocked and furious.

However, in the ten years since his rebirth, he has experienced too many things.

In addition to the age before rebirth, Cao Peng is now nearly forty in terms of actual age.

After a moment of panic, he quickly calmed down.

Since Deng Ai wants to experience some experience, it is not impossible.Although Thorny Yang and Nirvana Yang are separated by a narrow strip of water, under the current situation, there is not much danger.Presumably it won't be long before Jingzhou will respond.The more Kuai wanted Cao Peng's attitude, Cao Peng already gave it to him!Then the next step is to see the Kuai family's statement.Come to think of it, Kuai would not remain indifferent.Furthermore, it is considered safe to have Fu Xue in Jiyang.Cao Peng didn't know Fu Shen very well, but he knew that he was from Wei Yan's hometown, and Wei Yan also valued him very much.When he went to Ye County this time, Wei Yan also specifically mentioned Fu Xun to Cao Peng, saying that although Fu Xun was a bit dull, he was a person worthy of entrustment... Fu Xun was loyal and extremely strong.Belongs to the kind of master who should spring up to repay the kindness of a drop of water.In terms of loyalty, there is nothing to worry about.The problem is that he is not a good thinker.

"Bohou."

"Here."

"Let Bo Miao come to see me immediately..."

After Cao Peng calmed down, he analyzed the situation carefully and made a decision.

After a while, Deng Zhi hurried over.

"My lord, what's your order for calling Zhilai?"

"Bo Miao, are you ready?"

Deng Zhi was taken aback by Cao Peng's endless words.

But immediately, ecstasy surged in my heart.

He already knew that Cao Peng was going to send him to Jiyang.These days, Deng Zhi has been preparing for this...

I thought that Cao Peng would test him again, but now, according to Cao Peng's intention, it seems that he wants to take office immediately.In Deng Zhi's heart, how could he not like it?Xiang Yu once said: Wealth and honor do not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes walking at night.Although Deng Zhi is not considered rich now, if he can return to his ancestral home in the capacity of Jiyang Ling, it will also be a kind of glorious thing.Returning home is the dream of every wanderer.

Deng Zhi's father left Jiyang and settled in Xinye because of conflicts with the clan.

As for Deng Zhi, he has been wandering for many years. From Haixi to Dongjun, he has gone through twists and turns.Now, he can finally hold his head high and return to his hometown!
"Young master, Xiao Ai..."

On the way here, Deng Zhi had already heard Du Ji explain the situation.

Although he was happy in his heart, he did not get carried away and forgot this crucial question.

"Xiao Ai wants to experience some experience, so let him stay in Jiyang.

The folks who want to come to Dengcun will not treat him like that.What's more, with He Le taking care of her there, the problem shouldn't be too big.However, don't let him stay in Deng Village. If he wants to practice, let him go to the army or work in the government office.You go over this time, and take two dark men to follow Xiaoai.If that kid is disobedient, bring him back to me.If he is obedient... Then give him some pointers.After reading military books for so many years, it's time to experience it.However, we must protect Xiao Ai's safety. "

When Cao Peng talked about this, how could Deng Zhi not understand?
Cao Peng has made up his mind to carry out his plan!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
On that day, Deng Zhi didn't dare to stay, so he took his hands and hurried to Jiyang.

And Cao Peng called Kuai Zheng over, "Brother Boping, I have a problem right now, and I need to ask Brother Boping to help me out."

"My dear brother, it's okay to say."

"I heard that Liu Jingzhou ordered Liu Hu to be stationed in Zhangling, and he was quite hostile.

Huyang is very close to Zhangling, so I am very worried about Liu Juyan staying there.So, I would like to ask Brother Boping to go out of town to Huyang for me. I don’t know if Brother Boping is willing? "

When Kuai Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed.

He has been in Wuyin for ten days, and Cao Peng has treated him very kindly.

But the more so, the more sorry he felt, hoping to do something to share the pressure for Cao Peng.

Huyang?

Compared with Jiyang, it is one level higher.

However, Kuai Zheng did not immediately agree, but after pondering for a moment, he said softly: "My dear brother, it is not because I don't want to. It is because I don't know about military affairs, and Huyang is also the southern barrier of my dear brother. It is adjacent to Liu Jingzhou. It's inevitable. In case... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Cao Peng laughed!

He liked Kuai Zheng's attitude.

Very pragmatic, not pompous.

Oneness is oneness, and there is nothing false in it.

Cao Peng thought for a while, "I do have a candidate who might be able to help my brother. It's just that this person is proud of himself and wants his brother, so he can polish it."
