Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

At the beginning of October, General Liu Ye dispatched 50,000 troops from Puyang, claiming one hundred thousand, and went all the way to Yuzhou with great fanfare.

A hundred thousand army!

Although everyone in the world knows that Liu Ye is sitting in the gate and that his subordinates can fight well, but no one would have thought that Liu Ye used so much force this time, and everyone in the world was talking about it.

Xia Pi.

"Zhicai, this time Yuqing has used a hundred thousand troops and is aggressive. It seems that he wants to flatten Yuyang and Yangzhou in one fell swoop and aspire to the southeast." Cao Cao said Ningly.

"Hehe, he is worthy of being a general, he is indeed a soldier."

Xi Zhi only smiled slightly, but a black jade chess piece that was twisted by his fingers fell on the board.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai are sitting under the pavilion, with a chessboard placed between them. Xi Zhicai holds the black one and Cao Cao holds the white one.

Go has actually existed as early as the Han Dynasty, but the rules are not the same as those of later generations. First, it is not a vertical and horizontal nineteen Dao, and secondly, the rules of first move are different.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "If you really use one hundred thousand troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to resist."

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the lord, I think the general is not using a hundred thousand army."

"Oh?"

"Since the generals started their troops, they have always been weak and strong, and the policies they have pursued are mostly sympathetic to the people." Xi Zhicai said leisurely: "With the general's military style, this number of 100,000 must be false, if it is really used. One hundred thousand army, less to say, one hundred thousand civilians will be recruited to transport grain and grass.

Since Luoyang was set on fire by Dong Zhuo, the station was broken and the roads were slack. I am afraid it would be difficult to withstand such a huge transfer of grain and grass. "

Cao Cao nodded, jokingly said: "If Yuqing really used a hundred thousand troops, then the general would be a little scared, hahaha."

Although the two of them still seem to be playing chess, in fact their minds are no longer placed on the chessboard, but placed outside the wider world.

"Lord." Xi Zhicai said sternly: "Although Yuan Shu occupies Huainan, his subordinates are known as many generals, but now Zhang Xun leads tens of thousands of troops to attack the two counties of Yingchuan and Chen, Yuzhou, Sun Ce leads the army to attack Lujiang County, and Xu Huang also Against Yuan Shu in Jiujiang County, even though Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he can actually be said to be enemies on all sides."

"At this moment, it can be said that Yuan Shu is the weakest moment, and it is also the best time for our army to send troops." Xi Zhi said slowly.

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are now competing for the crown in Hebei, Yuqing is in the middle of the pass, and the Central Plains are occupied. Although our army occupies the two states of Qingxu, it can't compete with the two of them. It must acquire Huainan! "

Cao Cao clenched his fists, and his face showed his determination to win.

Xi Zhicai whispered: "General Miaocai has led ten thousand elite soldiers to Xiaopei secretly, and General Miaocai travels around the clock at night, so no one knows the news of the garrison Xiaopei. Don’t hesitate, please send troops immediately. Right."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Well, in that case, I will order Miao to be the vanguard, lead his army to capture Jiujiang County, and give the emperor of the Zhong family a fatal blow!"

Xia Houyuan, a Lieutenant in the Cao Cao Army who is known for surprise attacks, had already secretly arrived in Xiaopei City. After receiving the order of Cao Cao, he immediately led the army to launch surprise attacks.

Jiujiang County, Zhonglicheng.

At this time, the sky was unclear, and the thick fog of late autumn enveloped the entire clock leaving the city. People could not see anything within a few meters of sight at a glance. It was really not a suitable day for traveling.

However, such days are sometimes very beneficial for sending troops.

The guard at the head of Zhong Li yawned and cursed in a low voice: "Why hasn't Wei San, who is changing defense, come yet? Is it possible that this kid fell asleep and made me suffer here."

suddenly!

A sharp blade suddenly stretched out in the thick fog, and it passed the guard's throat. The guard's eyes were wide open, and after a few convulsions, he suddenly fell to the top of the city.

The same scene was staged in many places above Zhongli's head of the city. The soldiers patrolling the head of the city were inexplicably dead.

"Yanzi makes Chu?"

"Huainan is an orange."

After the two men in black matched the code, they walked aside.

"It has been resolved over there."

"Okay, immediately open the city gate to welcome the captain into the city!"

After the Yuan Jun patrolman above the city was killed, a man in black slowly put down the winch, and with the slow creak, the city gate was suddenly opened.

"kill!"

Cao Jun, who was guarding outside the city, was impatient for a long time, and after seeing the city gate opened, he immediately rushed in.

"Enclose the county government and close the gates on all sides to allow anyone to go out, so as not to leak the news!" Xia Houyuan ordered.

Zhongli City is located to the northeast of Shouchun, but it is just a small city. Xia Houyuan took advantage of the dense fog and unexpectedly captured Zhongli City. The guards in the city had not yet reacted and were already under control.

"County magistrate, magistrate!"

The magistrate Zhong Licheng opened his eyes dissatisfied in his sleep and muttered, "What's the matter?"

"County magistrate!"

Covered with blood, the county lieutenant with a disheveled hand grabbed the collar of the county magistrate and said anxiously: "The enemy is coming in."

"What?" The smell of blood drifted into his nostrils, and the county magistrate suddenly came to his senses: "General Liu's soldiers and horses have been killed in Jiujiang County?"

"No!" The county lieutenant said angrily: "It's Cao Cao, it's Qingzhou soldiers."

"Cao Cao brought troops here?"

The county magistrate was stunned. Before, Liu Ye, Liu Bei and even Sun Ce raised troops to attack Lujiang County. Only Cao Cao remained unmoved, and there was even no information on the movement of soldiers and horses in Xuzhou. This made Yuan Shujun breathe a sigh of relief. , I thought Cao Cao would not send troops, but I didn't expect Cao Cao to come.

"County lieutenant!" The county magistrate suddenly took the hand of the county lieutenant, and said in a deep voice, "Shouchun doesn't know the news of Cao Jun's attack. You must flee the city and report the news to your majesty."

The county lieutenant nodded, suddenly remembering something, and then asked, "But what should you do to the county magistrate?"

The county magistrate gave a wry smile: "Then I have to see if Cao Cao can spare my life."

"In that case." The county lieutenant stood up and said, "Take care."

"Take care!"

Xia Houyuan was commanding the army to besiege important places such as granaries and arsenals, when suddenly a soldier ran over.

"School lieutenant!"

Xia Houyuan frowned and said: "What's the matter?"

"Just now there were more than a hundred soldiers in the city. After a deadly battle, more than ten people took the road and fled."

"hateful!"

Xia Houyuan was furious. He originally planned to use Zhongli as a place to transport food and grass after he captured Zhongli. Then, unconsciously, he rushed towards Shouchun in one breath, but he didn't expect to let the enemy go, so Shouchun naturally knew. News.

"Forget it, please send the army out of the lord."
