Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Guan Ping's new biography

Chapter 25 Killing Xue Zhou

The time for Cao Cao's army to arrive at Xiaopei was getting closer and closer. Zhang Liao and others kept sending out scouts to investigate, while making preparations for the army to enter the city, and gathered workers outside the city to build simple military camps. Novel rankings

Cao Xing and Hou Chengjun, who were stationed in the east of Xiaopei City, could not be careless. With the cooperation of Hou Cheng, Zhang Liao continued to increase the intensity of the sugar-coated shells. Wine, beautiful girls, and whole fat sheep and geese were thrown at them vigorously.

Delivered to Cao Xing's army camp.

And Cao Xing lived up to expectations. He indulged in drinking and sex every day, and entrusted all the patrolling soldiers to Hou Cheng. He never had a sober moment at all.

At this time, Guan Ping was much more relaxed than before. He trained soldiers in the trapped camp every day until dark, and occasionally returned to Zhang Liao's mansion to see Guan Feng.[

Five days, speaking of it, only lasts in the blink of an eye.

On this day, it was the day when Cao Cao's army arrived according to the budget. Guan Pingping was fully clothed, and the scouts were released for dozens of miles.

At nearly noon, the first group of scouts sent out reported that they found Guangling County soldiers in front. According to the news, Guangling County Governor Chen Deng had already surrendered when Cao Cao occupied Pengcheng, and volunteered to lead the soldiers.

Be a pioneer.

Now that Chen Deng has arrived, Cao Cao is not far away.

Guan Ping gradually became excited, turned to Zhang Liao and said: "Wenyuan, let's lead our army to leave the city to meet him."

What Guan Ping means is: If you wait for Cao Cao's army to arrive at the city gate and then open the city gate, it will look a bit shabby, as if you are forced to surrender; but if you go out of the city to greet it, it can be called a meeting of forces, and it will look much better in terms of face.

.

Zhang Liao also agreed, and the two of them asked Song Xian to lead the main force to defend the city, while he led all the cavalry under his account, about five hundred men, to the northwest to meet Cao Cao.

At this time, the scouts sent by Chen Deng came into contact with Zhang Liao's men. After a brief confrontation and explaining the situation, both sides knew that there was no hostility. Zhang Liao sent a group of scouts and two of them entered Chen Deng's vanguard camp to report to Zhang Liao, the defender of Xiaopei City.

In order to welcome Duke Cao Ping, the three of them rushed back to Zhang Liao to report.

The three men met Zhang Liao and his party on the road, and immediately led the way to Chen Deng's camp.

From a distance, Guan Ping saw that a simple stronghold had been set up at the intersection of the main road. It must be that Chen Deng did not know the news about Xiaopei City, so he set up the stronghold and prepared for a long-term attack.

And the handsome flag flying high in the camp is not the word "Chen", but the word "Xue".

Seeing Guan Ping's confusion, Zhang Liao explained: "This Xuezhou was originally a Yellow Turban thief from Taiping Road. Later, he was severely beaten by Cao Gong's soldiers and horses. Qingzhou had nowhere to stay and fled to Guangling. He became a thief and was called a Guangling thief. When Chen Deng was appointed as the prefect of Guangling, he became a thief.

It was because Xue Zhou was so brave that he must have taken the lead for Chen Deng."

Guan Ping understood, and the two men urged the soldiers and horses to advance, but they saw that there were no soldiers patrolling the outside of the military camp, and there was no sound inside. It was eerily quiet.

Before Guan Ping noticed it, Zhang Liao relied on his soldier's intuition and found that the atmosphere in this simple camp was somewhat unusual, so he called the soldiers and horses to stop, called the three people leading the way, and asked about the situation just now.

The soldier replied: Two people have been sent to Chen Deng Pioneer Camp to explain the situation in Xiaopei City.

"Don't they believe it and think we are pretending to surrender, so they have laid a trap waiting for us?" Guan Ping guessed. At the same time, he raised the hand holding the halberd to prevent sudden arrow shooting in the military camp.
