Cao Ang nodded in satisfaction and said: "Qi's wolf ambition is obvious. Now that the army is attacking Chen County, it is to save Song Jiang from the troubled thief. If he succeeds, the Central Plains will never have peace. In order to seek peace in Yuzhou, three Days later, the widow led [-] elite soldiers to reinforce Chen County to fight against the Qi State. Xuchang was guarded by the Great Sima, and Xia Houyuan, the general who conquered the west, was in charge of all matters related to the relocation of the capital. Everything must be done without error.”

"Obey!" All civil and military officials bowed to obey the order.

Chapter 672

Three days later, Cao Ang led an elite army of [-] troops and marched eastward toward Chen County.

Hearing that the Wei army was dispatched, Zhang Liao of Chen County also quickly made deployments.

With Yang Zaixing as the general, he led an army of [-], and first detoured to attack Xuchang.Since the army of [-] is raised, it is approaching Chen County.When he arrived at Qiao County, Zhang Liao ordered Wu Tianxi to lead an army of [-] to assist Yang Zaixing. He himself led an army of [-] to raise banners during the day and light more torches at night, so as to confuse the Wei army.

Mioshui is a river on the east side of Xuchang. Although the water is not rushing, the river is very wide, and it is difficult to cross the river without a wooden boat.

Since Cao Anmin attacked Xuchang last time and humiliated the important ministers of Wei State, Cao Ang has continued to strengthen the defenses around Xuchang.

Don't just build checkpoints on the left and right sides of the mixed water to prevent accidents.At the same time, the original muddy water channel was widened and deepened, making this river really a natural moat to protect Xuchang.

Yang Zaixing led the troops here, he was not in a hurry to attack, but carefully investigated.This place is a little different from other places. The city gate is fortified in two directions. Whether it is facing east or west, this pass is extremely difficult to attack.And the biggest difference between this level and other levels is that there is no difference in the terrain here.

No matter which direction the attack is launched from, even if there are sabotages in the rear, it will be difficult to cause chaos for the defenders.

Although Cao Ang mobilized all his troops, the defenders here did not dare to mobilize at all. They still deployed [-] soldiers here. The guard Chunyu Yan was the brother of Chunyu Qiong, a famous Hebei general.

After thinking about it again and again, Yang Zaixing decided to change from a strong attack to a direct attack. He selected 1 elite soldiers out of [-] people in his army, put on the armor of the Wei army, and ran in front, while he led the brigade to follow in a leisurely manner.When the front team was only a mile or two away from the muddy water, the Wei Jun scouts finally spotted them, and hurriedly told the news to Chun Yuyan, who was guarding the city.

Chunyuyan immediately ordered the soldiers to stop them.

This place is the hinterland of Wei State, the front team sent by Yang Zaixing was only a few hundred people, Chunyu Yan waited for his work with ease, charged quickly, and surrounded them in a short time.

After carefully looking at it for a while, Chunyuyan hurriedly asked, "Which one is it, and why did you suddenly appear here?"

A centurion in the Qi army hurried forward and replied in fluent Yanzhou dialect: "We are all heavy soldiers, Qi State, Qi State's scouts are rushing to kill in front, there are too many people, we are outnumbered, so we can only flee first. out."

"Scout?" Chunyuyan's face was full of doubts.

I have been guarding in the muddy water all the time, and I have not seen any Qi troops coming or going.

Besides, the Qi army hadn't all gone to attack Chen County, so why did they send scouts here?

"General, our carts are full of food and supplies that are ready to be transported to Chen County. If they are intercepted by the Qi army like this, the brothers in Chen County will probably starve."

Chunyuyan said helplessly: "A bunch of trash, even the supply trucks are not good, what's the use of keeping you."

There is a saying in the military law of the Wei Army that if a soldier with luggage loses his luggage, or if he abandons his luggage and flees, he will be dealt with according to the military law.

"General, spare your life, general!" Many Qi soldiers pretending to be Wei Jun were in a mess, crying for their father and mother.

Chun Yuyan was not a ruthless person, besides, there were hundreds of soldiers here, if they killed them all at once, the morale of the soldiers would be shaken.

After thinking about it again and again, he ordered the deputy general to take all these soldiers back and imprison them.After reporting to the superior command, we will deal with it.

Hundreds of deputy generals pressed these soldiers and headed towards Mioshui.

And Chunyuyan led the remaining [-] soldiers and galloped quickly in the said direction.

After driving for about two or three miles, there were sacks scattered on the ground at the edge of the forest ahead. Judging by the flags on the car, it was undoubtedly Wei Guo.

The doubts in Chunyuyan's heart immediately dissipated.

It's a pity that I came a bit late. Most of the food, grass and supplies were robbed by the Qi army, and there was only a little bit left. I guess it was because the sound of my horse's hooves made them fearful and they forgot in their haste.

Just as he was thinking, Chunyuyan got off his horse and walked to the side of the overturned cart.

"Take all these leftover grain bags back."

All the soldiers got off their horses one by one, and following Chunyuyan's instructions, began to carry all the grain and grass onto the horses and transport them back.

"What a pity, what a pity!" Chun Yuyan observed for a moment, his face full of remorse.

Judging from the number of these chariots and horses, this batch of food and grass was at least enough for tens of thousands of troops to feed for more than half a month, but now they were all looted by the Qi army.To move so much food in such a short period of time, is it true that Qi State can't make a big move as those food transport soldiers said?

Just thinking about it, the soldier next to him suddenly exclaimed: "General, general, come and see!"

Chunyuyan walked quickly to the soldier's side, only to see that a sack had been unraveled, revealing the contents inside.

"This is..." Chunyuyan grabbed a handful out with his hand, weighed it, and stood there for a moment.

This bag is not grain at all, but full of sand.

"Over there? Open them all and have a look!" After Chunyuyan ordered, all the soldiers quickly opened all the sacks in their hands.

Suddenly, exclamations continued to sound.

These sacks left on the ground contained no food at all, but sand.

"No, there's deceit, there's deceit here!" Chunyuyan thought, turned around and quickly ran towards his horse. Before he could take a few steps, countless arrows suddenly shot out from the darkness.

Caught off guard, Chunyuyan was hit by three arrows in a row, screamed, and fell to the ground.

"Enemy attack, there are enemies!"

Seeing this, the other soldiers fled in all directions.It's a pity that the Qi army had already set up cages and waited for them to come.

They were several times stronger than the enemy. Under the fierce attack, none of the Wei army who came to investigate could escape the encirclement, and they all died tragically under the crossbows of the Qi army.

After the last enemy was killed, Yang Zaixing ordered the soldiers to come out of the jungle, pull off the clothes of the dead Wei Jun, put them on quickly, and then put on a defeated posture, carrying Chun Yuyan on his back and galloped towards the place where the water was. go.

Inside the city gate, the deputy general was still waiting anxiously.

In the dark night, for some reason, his heart always had a feeling of ups and downs.He has been walking on the tip of the knife all year round, and he already has a sense of danger.

It was precisely because of this feeling that he escaped from the brink of life and death several times and survived by luck.If Chunyuyan stayed inside the city gate, he wouldn't have to worry so much.Now that Chunyuyan led a thousand soldiers out of the city, there is still no news.

Under the panic, his heart could not calm down for a long time.

Just as he was thinking, a shout suddenly came from below the city gate: "Open the door, open the door soon, the general has been shot by an arrow, the general has been shot by an arrow."

Chapter 673

Looking intently, I saw hundreds of soldiers carrying one person under the city gate, beating the city gate constantly. It was hard to see clearly in the darkness, but I could barely see that these soldiers were all wearing the uniforms of the Wei army.

Although the lieutenant general was a little worried, seeing that the main general was still alive and dead outside the city, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

The moment the city gate opened, under the city tower, shouts of killing shook the sky.

Confusion water missed, Yang Zaixing and Wu Tianxi joined forces and sent reliable generals to guard the place. The direction of the soldiers was directed at Xuchang.

The previous Xu was the political center of the entire Cao Wei, so it prospered.But today's Xudu, because Cao Wei plans to move the capital to Luoyang, as the accompanying capital, is no longer the political center.Some of Cao Cao's old generals, civil servants, and their family members migrated to Luoyang first, which further weakened the prosperity of Xudu.
