Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 241 Soldiers approaching Shouchun, each thinking!
The surrender of Li Dian and Le Jin was not something worthy of attention for Yuan Tan.

It can only be said that both of them are following the general trend.

But when the news spread back to Shouchun and reached the ears of Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan, it was no less than thunder and thunder.

Whether Li Dian or Le Jin, including Yu Jin who was the first to surrender to Yuan Tan.

These three people are all generals who have followed Cao Cao since Cao Cao started his career in his early years.

Even if it's just a general with a foreign surname, his status in Cao Cao's place is enough to rank in the forefront.

But now, even these three people have surrendered to Yuan Tan?

Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan, sitting in the prefect's mansion in Shouchun City at the moment, felt as if a heavy boulder was pressing on their hearts.

I was speechless for a long time.

Until the guards outside came to ask for instructions, and asked if they would go to the city to inspect as usual tonight.

The two of them just woke up from a dream, recovering from the dullness before.

Xia Houyuan glanced at the dark night sky like thick ink outside the window, and licked his lips, feeling bitter.

Cao Ren's face was equally gloomy.

One hand was placed on the table, changing its position from time to time, but it couldn't settle down no matter what.

Cao Ren was appointed by Cao Cao to Shouchun City to assist Xia Houyuan in defense, so he naturally knew Cao Cao's high hopes for him.

In any case, he could not allow Shouchun City to be breached by himself.

But the situation in front of him was like Mount Tai's pressure, leaning towards Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan.

Cao Ren was almost out of breath.

"Do you want to block the news?"

Xia Houyuan suddenly raised his head and whispered to Cao Ren.

At this moment, the news of Li Dianle's entry into the ban and the defection of the three generals has not yet spread. At present, the only ones in Shouchun City who know the news are the two of them, and the sentry cavalry who came to report the news before.

It is not impossible to send someone to block the news now.

But Cao Ren didn't even think about it, he just shook his head, flatly rejected the proposal, and said with a wry smile:
"Miaocai, you're thinking too much. Even if we block the news right now, the little thief Yuan Tan won the three thieves Li Dianle and Jin Yujin. How could we not let them be the vanguard and come to attack me Shouchun?"

At that time, the three generals will approach the city, even if Cao Ren and the others blocked the news before.

Facing the iron-clad facts, the morale that should be shaken and hit should be hit in the same way.

It's better to release the news now, so that the soldiers can be mentally prepared.

Hearing Cao Ren's words, Xia Houyuan sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said:
"What should I do? I only have 7 soldiers in Shouchun City. If the three of Li Dian did not leave the city, plus the 3 soldiers and [-] in the hands of the three of them, to deal with [-] is just a matter of defense." The city should be more than enough."

Xia Houyuan wanted to sigh again while talking.

It wasn't just Cao Cao's intention to send Li Dianle Jin Yujin to defend the city.

Including Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan, although they get along well with generals with foreign surnames like Li Dianle Jin Yujin and the others.

You can even drink and have fun in private.

But in fact, everyone tacitly kept a certain distance from each other.

Again.

This kind of estrangement was nothing in the past, but as Cao Cao's power was gradually weakened, the suspicion caused by this estrangement became more and more serious.

Put [-] soldiers and horses with foreign surnames in Shouchun City to defend with him.

Although it can effectively counter Yuan Tan's attack, but also, whether it is Xia Houyuan or Cao Ren, this heart is really hard to let go.

So in the end, even though they felt a little guilty towards Li Dian and the others, they still pushed Li Dianle into the ban and pushed them out of Shouchun City.

It was thrown to the three counties of Zhongli in Xia Caiyi City to defend.

But right now, it seems that this operation can be called stealing chickens without losing money.

Not only did the three generals with foreign surnames not fight Yuan Tan to the death as they had imagined before.

They didn't even consume the minimum of Yuan Tan's troops. Instead, they all surrendered to Yuan Tan neatly.

Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren did not reflect on their previous actions, which led to this result.

On the contrary, one or two were all dazzled by anger, and the hatred for Li Dian, Lejin and others now even surpassed Yuan Tan's hatred!

"Snapped!"

While Cao Ren was thinking hard about a strategy to defeat the enemy.

Xia Houyuan couldn't hold back the anger in his heart any longer, he slapped the table suddenly, stood up abruptly, and said:
"I can't stand it, Zixiao, let me lead my troops out of the city and ambush that Yuan Tan thief once!"

There are many river branches outside Shouchun City, among which the forest is densely covered. For the troops who have never been to Shouchun area.

These woods will be an excellent ambush.

Therefore, when Xia Houyuan proposed this strategy, although Cao Ren was a little worried, he still nodded and agreed.

After all, he really didn't have any good plans to come up with now.

It would be better to follow Xia Houyuan and let him ambush first.

Even if you can't win a big victory, at least, you won't be defeated.

With such thoughts in mind, Cao Ren watched Xia Houyuan rush out of Shouchun City with [-] troops.

At this time, Yuan Tan had already led an army of [-] troops, and arrived near a stream thirty miles away from Shouchun City.

"Major General, after crossing this stream, you can almost see Shouchun City."

Li Dian and Le Jin, following Gao Lan at this time, began to call Yuan Tan a major general.

Regarding this change, Yuan Tan was noncommittal. After all, whether it was Le Jin or Li Dian, after taking refuge in him, they really expressed their opinions very well.

Li Dian directly disbanded 5000 of his [-] troops, and only retained [-] elite soldiers, and merged them into the Xuzhou Army.

He didn't even want the position of partial general he got under Cao Ying's command before, starting from the school lieutenant, he didn't even have a number.

The status of Le Jin and Li Dian is similar. They also only retained [-] elites, and they entered the Xuzhou Army starting from the school lieutenant.

For this, Yuan Tan naturally reciprocated.

Although the second general was only a school lieutenant and didn't even have a title, he actually commanded a lot more soldiers than ordinary school lieutenants.

The two of them not only commanded their original five thousand soldiers and horses respectively.

It was Yuan Tan who specifically asked, and each dispatched [-] elite Xuzhou troops to their subordinates.

It is equivalent to the same force, and the combat power is even higher than before!

Of course, at the beginning, whether it was Li Dian or Le Jin, when I heard that Yuan Tan was going to send another [-] Xuzhou troops to their hands.

There is also some worry that Yuan Tan will mix sand into their troops.

But it never occurred to him that the five thousand Xuzhou troops, perhaps some of them, received a secret order from Yuan Tan to supervise Li Dian and Le Jin's changes.

But when Li Dianlejin gave the order, these Xuzhou troops not only did not obey the yin and yang, but did not say anything.

On the contrary, sometimes, what they do is better than the private army of the two of them!
Li Dian and Le Jin were even more amazed.
