Yang Xiu will come soon.

Liu Xie had a long talk with him, and there was only one central idea: be mentally prepared to take root in Hanyang for a long time, and do your best.When you feel that Hanyang has no room for improvement, then you will be transferred to another office.

Yang Xiu was a little surprised, but he readily agreed without saying a word.

He knew in his heart that the emperor had high expectations of him and would never let him down.

Zhuge Liang, who was on the sidelines, also saw this very clearly, and couldn't help feeling envious.

This kind of monarch-minister relationship is simply a model he has dreamed of.

After a long talk with Yang Xiu, Liu Xie immediately announced his departure and rushed to Guanzhong.

The imperial edict was one step ahead and sent to Guanzhong as quickly as possible, and sent to the camp of General Zhenxi.

-

As Jia Xu expected, Han Sui fell into endless entanglement after receiving the edict.

He really wanted to leave this opportunity to his son Han Yin, but he was also worried that Han Yin would not be able to control his subordinates, causing indiscriminate killings of innocent people, which would be self-defeating, and would instead be stained and even affect his own reputation.

After much thought, he invited Huang Yi.

Huang Yi once served as the long history of Wenhou Lu Bu, and he went out with the wolf riders, and was named a marquis in the first battle.Lu Bu was very satisfied with him, and asked the emperor several times to transfer him back to the wolf cavalry, but the emperor refused.

The emperor arranged him to the camp of the general in Zhenxi, and together with Jiang Jiong, he commanded ten military advisers and participated in the military of Han Sui.

Compared to Jiang Jiong, who is also from Xiliang, Han Sui is more willing to discuss matters with Huang Yi.

After all, he is a child of a family, Huang Yi is familiar with etiquette, has a humility that Jiang Jiong does not have, and his speech is relatively tactful, which is easier to hear.

Not long after, Huang Yi came to Han Sui and bowed to salute. "What orders does the General have?"

"Zimei, how is Dongchu's plan going?" Han Sui smiled, more cordial than seeing his son Han Yin.

"The plan has been completed. We only need to wait for the shipment of grain from Hedong and Nanyang before we can start." Huang Yi went to the map and explained the plan.

The army has been trained, and the autumn harvest is over, and the food from all over the country is in the warehouse.

There are not many household registrations in Guanzhong, and the emperor is coming again, so he must leave enough food reserves. Han Sui's eastern expedition can only hope for the grain in Hedong and Nanyang.Considering that Hedong still needs to supply Taiyuan, Shangdang and Youyan Dufu, whether Han Sui can set off as planned depends more on Nanyang.

Fortunately, Zhang Ji and Ding Chong also knew the importance of these grains. Zhang Ji personally led an army to Deng County to confront Liu Biao to prevent Liu Biao from grabbing or destroying them.

But Han Sui didn't trust Zhang Ji in essence.

After listening to Huang Yi's report, Han Sui boasted a few words, and then asked, "Can the food in Nanyang be delivered in time?"

"Should be able to." Huang Yi said with a smile: "Maybe the general knows that Junshi Ding and Cao Yanzhou are not only young friends, but also relatives."

"I know." Han Sui laughed and said, "I also know that Cao Yanzhou didn't dare to take a concubine after Ding Youyang became the military advisor of General Hussars, for fear that Mrs. Ding would be angry."

"Hahaha..." The two looked at each other and laughed, and the big tent was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After talking a few gossips, Han Sui took out the imperial edict for Huang Yi to have a look at.

After reading it, Huang Yi understood what Han Sui meant.

He thought for a while. "If the general is trustworthy, shall I accompany the young general?"

Han Sui patted Huang Yi's arm lightly. "With the help of a child and beauty, why should I worry about it? If I can succeed, I will be very grateful."

Huang Yi said a few words of humility, and he agreed.

For him, this is also a rare opportunity, no less than riding with wolves.

Han Sui immediately wrote a letter in hand, ordering Han Sui to choose a thousand fine riders, one with two horses, and rush to Suiyang as quickly as possible to reinforce Cao Cao.The rest of the people stayed put, waiting for him to receive them.

Huang Yi took Han Sui's handwriting and rushed to Lantian to join Han Yin.

Regarding Han Sui's arrangement, Han Yin didn't have the courage to push back and resist, so he immediately followed suit, selected a thousand elite cavalry, and rushed to Suiyang.

Although the number of cavalry was not many, Huang Yi made a lot of momentum.On the one hand, he asked all the knights to strictly observe military discipline and not to act recklessly, and on the other hand, he publicized that he claimed to have ten thousand knights, and he rushed to help Pengcheng under the edict of the emperor.

Suddenly, the situation changed.

The first to be fooled was Yang Feng, the left general who was stationed in Shan County.

Knowing that Han Yin and Huang Yi rushed to help Pengcheng under the order, although they were upset, they dared not neglect and ordered people to prepare food, wine and food.This is his task, the army crosses the border, and he is responsible for providing the food and grass needed by the army.

Of course, he also played a small game and only prepared food and grass for five thousand riders.In case Han Yin asks, he can also say that the autumn harvest has not yet started, the food stock is limited, and the time is too short to prepare in time.Why don't you wait two days and let me go to Hedong to borrow some?

When he saw that Han Yin had only one thousand cavalry and two thousand horses, he knew he had been fooled.

But he could only scold in his heart, with a smile on his face.

Han Yin had a full meal, took enough luggage, and hurried to Luoyang.

The second person to be fooled was Henan Yin Xiahou Dun.

Although he received the order to rush to the rescue of Pengcheng, he knew that this cavalry was of greater significance to Cao Cao, so he did not dare to neglect, and prepared food, wine and meat as quickly as possible.

There is enough food for [-] cavalry, but food and drink are limited, and the reserves are almost exhausted, so they can only supply a few hundred people.

But Han Yin and Huang Yi actually had only 1000 people. Although the food and wine prepared by Xiahou Dun were not enough, but on average, the soldiers were still offered sacrifices to the Wu Zang Temple.With wine and meat, the knights were in a good mood, and the exhaustion of continuous marching became less terrible.

In this way, Han Yin and Huang Yi cheated and cheated all the way, not only the military discipline was maintained well, but also the morale was getting higher and higher.

Huang Yi also repeated orders and repeated orders, that the officers and men are equal, and no one is allowed to eat more and occupy more.

Those who obey the order will be compensated when crediting in the future.Those who do not obey the order shall be severely punished.

His orders were supported by ordinary soldiers, and he began to become the soul of the cavalry, having a voice no weaker than that of Han Yin.

Twelve days later, they arrived in Suiyang, traveling [-] li.

Zhang Yun and Gao Lan, who were fighting with Cao Ren, were shocked when they received the news from the scouts.They didn't even have time to send rangers to find out the reality, and ordered to retreat immediately to ensure their own safety.

Facing Cao Ren, they had no advantage at all.Facing the more powerful Xiliang cavalry, they simply did not have the courage to fight.

Cao Ren took advantage of the situation to fight back and won a small victory.

Zhang He and Gao Lan withdrew to the camp and reported the latest news to the judge. The judge was also surprised that the soldiers from Xiliang came so quickly and had such a large number of troops. Fearing that they would be frustrated in the field battle, they immediately retreated to a favorable place. Terrain, build camp and stick to it.

So far, Cao Cao's persistence has achieved fruitful results, and Suiyang has become a tiger's mouth.

Chapter 623 Braking with static

Cao Cao personally went out of the camp to meet him.

When he saw the thousand fine riders behind Han Yin and Huang Yi, he was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud.

"As expected of Jia Wenhe's disciple." Cao Cao took Huang Yi's arm. "Yuan Gonglu is a bastard, but he has a good daughter and a good son-in-law, which is really enviable."

Huang Yi couldn't answer, so he pretended not to hear.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are the same age, but they have always disliked each other.Cao Cao could tease Yuan Shu in front of him, but he couldn't agree.

Huang Yi turned around and introduced Han Yin to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked Han Yin up and down. "Ten years ago, I met my father in Luoyang, and I was very happy. Unexpectedly, ten years later, he will come to help me capture Suiyang."

Han Yin was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it.

Cao Cao's age was between their father and son, but Cao Cao brought out his old friendship with Han Sui as soon as they met, so he had to meet him as a younger brother.But Cao Cao is not only only about ten years older than him, but he can't really be called a stalwart by description. Coupled with his reputation after eunuchs, he is very reluctant.

Huang Yi knew it in his heart, and then said: "Although General Han has a heart, I'm afraid that these thousand elite cavalry will not be of much help, they can only strengthen his momentum."

Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and said: "It's okay, General Hussars has sent a large army into Runan, and reinforcements will come soon with food. There will be 6 to [-] people at that time, and Suiyang will definitely go down. You are going to rest in Suiyang for a while, Or continue on to Pengcheng?"

Huang Yi and Han Yin exchanged a look. "It's better to rest for a while. Marching continuously for more than ten days, people are tired and horses are exhausted. It is not suitable to fight immediately. It is best to lure and not send."

Cao Cao agreed.

Huang Yi and Han Yin rushed thousands of miles to help, and the effect was to catch them by surprise.As long as the news reaches Pengcheng, Yuan Shao will feel uneasy and Liu Bei will stick to it with peace of mind, then the goal will be achieved.It would not be very meaningful to let them fight Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao immediately arranged for them to enter the camp.

In order to continue his bluff, Cao Cao deliberately built a large camp that was large enough for ten thousand riders to station, and filled it with battle flags, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false from a distance.At the same time, he ordered people to spread the news everywhere, saying that the forward of the imperial reinforcements had arrived, and the army was on its way. He asked the counties of Liang State to hurry up and send the autumn grain to the camp.

Otherwise, send these [-] Xiliang Jingqi to urge food.

Under Cao Cao's deliberate dissemination, the counties around Suiyang moved after hearing the news, and while the momentum became bigger and bigger, the situation became more and more tense.

Although Liang Guo had not experienced the ravages of Xiliang soldiers, it bordered Chenliu and had heard of many evil deeds by Xiliang soldiers.Hearing that [-] Xiliang cavalry entered the country and would come to urge food at any time, many people were frightened.

Some people started to flee, to the east.

Rumors also followed the footsteps of these people to the east, and quickly spread to the ears of the judge.

Trial is very anxious.

Suiyang was in critical condition, he had to save him.But let him face [-] Xiliang cavalry, he does not have such strength and courage, even if he has the Hebei strong crossbowmen he is proud of.

Because he is not as good as Qu Yi, who is good at breaking cavalry with steps.

He has many generals under his command, but no one dares to face [-] Xiliang cavalry, Zhang He and Gao Lan are no exception.

When Dong Zhuo attacked Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang with cavalry from Xiliang and wiped out Wang Kuang's troops in the first battle, he left an indelible impression on them.Now they don't have Qu Yi to help them out, but the Xiliang cavalry has the infantry led by Cao Cao to cooperate. The situation is very unfavorable for them.

After careful consideration, the judge finally decided to ask Yuan Shao for help.

-

According to his anger, Yuan Shaoqiang put the military report on the case and ordered someone to bring it to Tian Feng.

"Yuan Hao, the emperor's reinforcements are here, what can I do?"

Tian Feng took the military newspaper, read it carefully, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, and then said softly: "Wait."

"Wait?" Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng in surprise. "How do you wait? Wait until the Son of Heaven arrives with his army and cut off my retreat?"

Tian Feng opened his eyes and shook his head. "My lord, soldiers never tire of deceit. I think these ten thousand fine cavalry are just suspicious soldiers. They just want to bluff and force the lord to retreat."

“How come you see?”

"Ten thousand cavalry, at least twelve thousand horses. Considering how fast they marched, maybe more." Tian Feng raised his eyelids. "1 cavalry, 1 horses, how much food do you need to eat every day?"

Yuan Shao's heart skipped a beat, and then he felt embarrassed.

Even considering that there are weeds to eat in this season, one war horse is equivalent to the consumption of two soldiers, and this ten thousand elite cavalry is equivalent to thirty-five thousand infantry, or even more.

Cao Cao suddenly increased the consumption of 5000 people, which is equivalent to doubling. How could it be so stable?He either searched for food everywhere, or made a quick decision, and it was absolutely impossible to face off for a long time.

In other words, if there is no news of Cao Cao's attack on the trial within a few days, then the ten thousand elite riders are fake.

"Even if these [-] horses are real, that's not a bad thing." Tian Feng went on to say, "Liang Guo can't supply so much consumption. Cao Cao must ask for food from other counties. If a team of [-] horses , That is ten teams. If a team of hundreds of cavalry is used as a team, it is a hundred teams. With so many cavalry collecting food, it is inevitable that some troubles will arise. My lord, wait for a few days, and the situation will naturally change."

Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly, with a smile on his face.

He had already imagined the situation where Xiliang soldiers would kill people everywhere. Not only would the people in Yanyu, Qingzhou and Xuzhou be in panic, even Zong Cheng, who led the troops into Yuzhou, would be greatly disappointed.

If Zhang Ji can't control his subordinates, Han Yin can control his subordinates?

"Ten thousand steps back, even if you want to retreat, you have to wait until after the autumn harvest." Tian Feng stroked his beard and said unhurriedly: "The army consumes too much. If you can't collect food on the spot, even if the lord returns I'm afraid Jizhou is also powerless to defend."

Yuan Shao's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "Yuan Hao's words are true, let's do this, wait a few more days."

Tian Fengan couldn't sit still. "My lord, the ten thousand cavalrymen from Xiliang don't know the authenticity, but Liu Jingsheng has a different ambition, but he has to guard against it."

"What's wrong with Liu Jingsheng?" Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng in puzzlement.

Yin Kui had just rushed back from Jingzhou and brought Liu Biao's promise, which greatly relieved him.Although Liu Biao did not send troops to reinforce him, he restrained Zhang Ji's main force and relieved him of the pressure.

At this time, Tian Feng suspected Liu Biao, which seemed a little extreme.

"My lord thinks that Zhang Ji didn't leave Nanyang because of Liu Jingsheng's restraint, because he was worried that he would not be able to control his subordinates, and because he was worried that the grain in Huyang area would be snatched by Liu Jingsheng? I heard from Yin Bolong (Yin Kui) that he was in Xiangyang. At that time, Zhou Jiamou was also in Xiangyang, and Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others were quite confused by Zhou Jiamou. Later Liu Jingsheng met Zhou Jiamou, and Liu Jingsheng did not say a word about what they said in detail.”

Yuan Shao was silent.

He had no doubts about Liu Biao at first, but after hearing what Tian Feng said, he felt that Liu Biao's attitude seemed not so firm.

If, as Tian Feng said, Liu Biao was just playing tacit understanding with Zhang Ji and perfunctory him, then after the autumn harvest, would Liu Biao suddenly turn his back on him?

"From Yuan Hao's point of view, what should we do?"

"I have two plans, false and true, for my lord's reference."

Chapter 624 tit for tat

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng, and before he could speak, Feng Ji who was sitting beside him gave a "puchi" laugh.

Tian Feng grimaced and said angrily: "If Feng Jun has a good opinion, you might as well say it bluntly, why should you act like a relative?"

Yuan Shao was also very unhappy.
