Chapter 140
Chapter 140
News of Liu Bei's presence in Deng County soon reached Chaoyang County farther north.
This place is separated from Shinye by a water, and Li Tong is currently stationed here.
His task is also very simple, that is, to recruit soldiers and horses locally.
After learning of Liu Biao's intention to expand Deng County, he quickly sent a letter to Xinye.
When Huang Zhong learned of the situation, he did not take it to heart.
As soon as this Liu Biao had a truce with Sun Ce, he thought about Tu Nanyang, which was really delusional.
As far as he knew, the men and horses of Deng County were just newly recruited, so what was there to fear.
He only needs to do a good job of defense, and when Dong Yao finishes fighting the battle in the north, he will naturally come down and clean up Liu Biao.
On the other side, he saw that Dong Yao had already started a war with Yuan Shao.
A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Cao's mouth, he must seize the current opportunity and take the opportunity to take Qingzhou.
"Guys, when it's time to send troops, who wants to be the vanguard?"
"Meng De, this heavy responsibility is entrusted to me."
The one-eyed Xiahou stood up, and he waited for this opportunity for a long time.
"Pure yes too."
Cao Chun, as one of the commanders of the tiger and leopard horse, has long equipped the war horse with stirrups and other things.
So far, there has been no battle.
Seeing that the Cao family was eager to try, Cao Cao was very satisfied.
Persimmons should be pinched softly, and this truth will never change.
It is necessary to take advantage of Yuan Shao's war with Dong Yao, and there is no time to take care of it, and send troops with the trend.
As Yuan Tan, who ruled Qingzhou, he had been staring at Cao Cao.
He knew that his father was at war with Dong Yao, and this rear would definitely be targeted.
In order to confront Cao Cao, he recruited troops around.
Unexpectedly, he really picked up the treasure, and a Tarzan army came to belong to him.
"Xuangao, you have stayed in Langya, are you familiar with it?"
Yuan Tan found the newly attached Zang Ba, who had some fame in the local area.
His generals and soldiers are all soldiers.
Being able to come and return is undoubtedly a blessing for him.
"The last general knows a little about it,"
Zang Ba said.
He once stationed in Kaiyang and went north out of Langya, which is Qingzhou.
I also thought about defecting to Cao Cao before, but then I thought about it and forgot it.
This Yuan clan openly declared war with Dong Yao, and the rear was categorically empty, and a large number of soldiers and horses were urgently needed.
The Taishan Army under him is very suitable, and it is absolutely a blessing to join at this critical moment.
Cao Cao was different, there were already a lot of forces in the local area, there was no war around, and there was not much pressure.
If he fled to the past, it would be the icing on the cake at best.
His treatment is not comparable to Yuan Shao, which is why he chose Yuan Tan.
"Cao Cao is a difficult and cunning person, and when Yuan Gong and Dong Yao start a war, he will definitely not sit still, I can't hold on, I need to take the initiative to attack."
Chen Gong, who had never appeared for a long time, appeared next to Yuan Tan at this time.
He had previously parted ways with Cao Cao and was very disgusted with him.
Drifting all the way, he thought about defecting to Wang Kuang in Hanoi, but Wang Kuang was shot.
Later, when he went to Xuzhou, Tao Qian was also fleeting.
Until he came to Kaiyang and met Zang Ba.
The two hit it off and fled to Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.
Yuan Tan occupied Qingzhou, and his neighbors were Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
For Cao Cao, the neighbor, he has long been very unpleasant.
Not to mention that the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, as Yuan Shao's eldest son, if he wants to inherit his father's business in the future, he must create meritorious achievements.
Now he has sensed that his father favors his brother Yuan Shang, and even if he cannot inherit his father's business, he has to make his own territory with his own hands.
When it really came to the battle for heirs, he also had a certain amount of capital in his hands.
Qingzhou, as one of the rear foundations, is to prevent the existence of Cao Cao alone.
Now that Cao Cao is not coming to him, he still wants to find Cao Cao.
"Who does Mr. Kotai think can be a general?"
Yuan Tan felt that it was feasible to take the initiative and asked Xiang Chen Gong.
"Xuan Gao can be a general, from the North Sea to the south to attack Langya."
"Chen expected that Cao Cao would march north of Mount Tai, and General Gao Yan could ambush there first."
Chen Gong pointed to the map and even pointed out Cao Cao's march route.
Beihai is the closest to Langya and has the most adequate defense.
Cao Cao wanted to map Qingzhou, but it was impossible to launch a fierce attack as soon as he came up.
The states of Jinan and Qi were the main targets of Cao Cao's onslaught.
The successful ambush on the way there can deal a certain blow to Cao Cao.
"Okay, Ben Gongzi will sit in Beihai."
Yuan Tan has a knowledge of his own ability, and this Chen Gong does have some ability.
After listening to it, he analyzed it himself and felt that this matter was feasible.
Even so, listen to Chen Gong.
Soon after, Cao Cao sent troops from Yanzhou Taishan to target Jinan and other places.
In his heart, Yuan Tan is just a hairy boy with a slight plan, and he can't bear much.
As for Chen Gong, he was separated as early as that day when Lu Boyu was in power.
Perhaps this person has long disappeared in the chaotic world, how can he remember it all.
Moreover, those who abandon him and leave need not worry.
"Look, we have been unimpeded all the way, presumably that Yuan Tan has already focused on the North Sea."
Xia Hou Wei led the front team to the border of Jinan Country, and said to Yu Ban beside him.
"It's better to be careful."
Yu Ban was not like Xia Hou Wei, who only knew how to charge.
He thought a lot, this place was the Qingzhou realm, and the other party was not fortified at all, which made him very puzzled.
The further the team went, the more uneasy his heart became.
As if there was not a road ahead, but an enemy waiting for them.
"General, you can't move forward any longer, garrison here first, and wait for Cao Chun to lead the army when he arrives."
Yu Ban keenly sensed that the situation was wrong, and quickly said.
"What are you afraid of, Yuan Tan Xiaoer."
Who knew that Xia Hou Wei didn't listen at all, and waved his hand and continued to drive the army.
Yu Ban is also helpless about this, who makes the family a relative of the Cao family, and can cover anything.
After marching ten miles, I heard the sound of war drums on both sides in unison.
At that moment, Cao Jun's war horse was frightened and turned restless.
"Dare to invade my realm, release arrows!"
Gao Yan led the generals to kill, and with a shout, arrows were shot on both sides.
"There are ambush soldiers, retreat quickly!"
Yu Ban was the first to react, since the other party had an ambush, it must not be something they could fight.
Then he asked people to protect Xia Hou Wei and quickly left the battlefield.
Just as he was about to go back, another group of men and horses came out of the rear.
"Tell Cao Cao that Chen has been waiting for him in Qingzhou for a long time."
The person who came was Chen Gong, and after waving his army to cover up, Xiahou was defeated and fled.
Cao Cao, who was still marching, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he met Xiahou Wei, who had fled back defeated, and he seemed to despise Yuan Tan a little.
When he learned that Xiahou Wei underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and Chen Gong was Yuan Tan's military master, he was relieved.
"Yuan Rang, don't you lose for a while, why bother with a sad face, promoted to the ranks!"
Cao Cao found the defeated Xiahou Wei and comforted.
"Promotion?"
Xia Hou looked puzzled, can he be promoted if he loses the battle?
