Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3263 Looking for the key

In Yecheng, Chen Qun summoned Gao Rou.

Chen Qun was worried about handing over the limited troops he had to Jizhou guys, so he had to choose Gao Rou. Although Gao Rou did not deal with Cao Cao in the early days and had a closer relationship with Yuan Shao, now that the Yuan family has collapsed, as an old member of the Yuan family, he should be given a chance.

"In the past, Yao, Shun, and Yu all governed the world with virtue, so they were able to create a world of great harmony." Although today's world is not like the ancient times, the way to govern the country should also be based on the methods of the ancients. If you want to govern the country with virtue, you must first cultivate your character and your family before you can govern the country and bring peace to the world. Therefore, a gentleman should stick to his roots, and the Tao will be born when his roots are established. ” Chen Jun saw Gao Rou and said this after a simple greeting.

Gao Rou lowered his head and said yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, but in his heart he was scolding her.

After scolding Chen Qun's mother, she didn't forget to hit her. Is it necessary?

"Business" What is the foundation?

Of course, Gao Rou still held up his hands and said, "Chen Shijun is right, please keep this in mind, keep this in mind..."

Chen Qun nodded, and then said: "Recently, there have been thieves in Jibei. The prince is worried about the people and wants to kill them. However, the thieves are cunning and have broken into pieces and are running around... Now there are three thousand soldiers. I don't know." Is the High School Lieutenant willing to take on this responsibility, exterminate the rebels, and hope for peace? 』

Gao Rou took a breath.

This is not easy to do.

Even if it’s not easy, you have to do it!

"The lower official is willing to share the worries of the prince and serve the envoy... But..." Gao Rou was still prepared to give herself a way out, "But Jizhou is very big, and three thousand people are like looking for a needle in a haystack. I don't know where the thieves are, how can they fight?" 』

Chen Qun smiled slightly, "It was reported that the traitor appeared in Qinghe recently..."

…

…

Wei Yan discovered that Cao Cao's waistband was really loose.

Of course, this is for the mountain soldiers led by Yu Wei Yan. It's hard to say whether they are other types of soldiers, or soldiers commanded by other generals. After all, Wei Yan began to train mountain soldiers in wilderness survival skills when Cao Cao was fighting for Jingzhou. The supplement of some daily consumables was basically no problem for Wei Yan and others who put on Cao Cao's military robes, and sometimes even The local villages and towns would think that Cao Jun's soldiers had been reformed, and even gave them money when they bought things...

Don't think that Cao Cao's military discipline can be very good. It refers to the elite soldiers such as the central guards and the central guards. The ordinary soldiers of Cao Cao's army are terrible!

Yes, don't run, it's you, Qingzhou soldier!

Originally, the Qingzhou soldiers were a mixture of good and bad, old, weak, young and strong. However, after they surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao drew out a large number of young and strong soldiers to form an elite central leading army and central guard army. Then the original poor old and weak soldiers were What to do with the weak ones? Of course, it's just a small army, oh, the original Qingzhou Army.

How good can the military discipline of Qingzhou Army be like this?

So much so that before the classmate Lao Cao in history wanted to attack Nanyang, he had to play a trick of cutting off his hair...

This drama is so shallow that all the generals can't understand it, but it also reflects Cao Cao's helplessness. You must know that Nanyang is the hometown of the emperor, not Xuzhou. If Qingzhou soldiers are really beaten, it will really open the curtain of the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty and slap him hard, and he will not immediately go to the end of Yuan Erluzi?

So Cao Cao was really cruel and cut off his hair.

Classmate Lao Cao cut off his hair with a click and sneered, "I've already cut it off!" You figure it out! 』

Everyone came forward and said, "Why bother?" Oh, why bother? ! Okay, okay, everyone, please calm down! Wipe your saliva and tidy up your clothes! 』

Although everyone knows that he is acting, being able to act like an actor on stage and sing is also a traitorous act for Cao Cao.

Most of Cao Jun's local guards were just dawdling around. Even if they saw something wrong with Wei Yan and others' attire or behavior, as long as the bounty was not in place...

Who the hell wants to be nosy?

In Shandong, there is a saying that exists like a guideline, that is, "do more and you will make more mistakes, do less and you will make fewer mistakes, and do not do better".

After all, in Shandong, those who talk are the upper-class people, and those who do the actions are the lower-class untouchables. If you want to get these people to do something voluntarily and voluntarily, it will be unless you are taking an exam for a position.

So, Wei Yan led his soldiers out of the Taihang Mountains, going around and around, until they reached the Qinghe River, where they encountered a blockade of a thousand Cao soldiers.

The two sides fought and suffered casualties on each other. Afterwards, Cao's army was defeated and retreated to Qinghe County.

Wei Yan did not attack Qinghe County, which had a high city and deep ditches. Instead, he passed through the city without entering, and made a posture of going south to enter Yanzhou, force Yuzhou, and attack Xu County.

If there is not enough food and grass, one or two small manors and forts will be knocked down.

The servants guarding the courtyard of these manor and Wubao have a good deterrent effect against ordinary people, but they are like chickens when faced with the force of Wei Yan and others, and it is not difficult at all. After breaking through the perimeter, the manor owner was often the first to run away, causing Wei Yan to have to praise, "You ran so fast!" 』

After Wei Yan invades Manor Wubao, he will open a warehouse to release grain and distribute all the grain and utensils to the people...

As a result, a very interesting situation occurred. When receiving an alarm or under certain pressure, Cao Jun from surrounding counties had to come to "rescue" these manor and forts. The first thing they did was not to go Follow the traces of Wei Yan and others, but first collect the distributed food utensils!

As for Wei Yan's whereabouts, who cares?

Anyway, the manor owner doesn't care. As long as the land is still there and the low-class people are still there, as much as possible should be taken back. It is better to give it to Wei Yan and others than to these low-class people. Otherwise, what will happen if these low-class people have money and things and lie down and don't work?

The Cao army soldiers in the surrounding counties and counties also don't care. The only one who is hurt is the manor owner. For them, it is a good thing to go on such a trip without fighting. Who would go to the trouble to find out where Wei Yan went?

Anyway, just don't come back.

What?

Come back again?

I didn't hear or see it. Didn't no one report it?

If no one reported it, how can it be considered that this happened?

Huh? ! Someone really reported it? ! Then what are you doing? ! Why don't you kill that person quickly...

...

...

Gao Rou led three thousand soldiers to chase after the traces left by Wei Yan. The more he chased, the more frightened he became.

Wei Yan attacked Jizhou, and Gao Rou was not impressed by Wei Yan and his soldiers, but by the various situations in Jizhou during this process, as well as the changes in the minds of the gentry, gentry, and powerful families in Jizhou.

Sometimes Gao Rou even had a thought in his mind...

Are these guys pretending to be confused even though they knew it was Wei Yan?

After all, if Fei Qian really won, it could be said that they had a good relationship in the future?

Gao Rou chased all the way, and saw the traces left by Wei Yan going south, while the siege troops that were supposed to appear in the south were nowhere to be seen...

So Gao Rou did not dare to cross the river and chase again, so he stopped at Baimadu. On the one hand, he sent people to Yecheng to inform Chen Qun of the relevant matters, and on the other hand, it was also at Baimadu that Gao Rou encountered new troubles.

Cao Ying.

Cao Ying, who was beautiful, soft, and had orchid fingers.

After Cao Ying escaped from Liyang, he curled up in Baimajin and shivered.

"She", sorry, this is not an insult, but just a description of Cao Ying's current state.

If someone is not satisfied, you can also change it to "it".

In the Cao family, Cao Ying was troubled and angry because of his appearance. At that time, he was still him. But when he really got benefits because of his appearance, he became her.

Making money, not shabby.

Who doesn't sell out these days?

Since you want to sell, why not sell it at a high price?

Since you have awakened, why not open your eyes to see the world?

Of course, which eye to open is indeed a problem.

As a result, before Cao Ying could feel comfortable for long, Wei Yan came and really taught Cao Ying how to be a man, but Cao Ying felt that he could not learn it, and he would never learn it in his life. He could only awaken reluctantly, and then stared at Gao Rou's soldiers.

"High School Captain! This is not a request, this is a must!"

Cao Ying slapped the table.

He didn't dare to slap the table with Wei Yan, but he had the courage to slap the table with Gao Rou.

Because Shandong has rules and reason. Speaking of rules and principles, who can compare with the Confucian children who have been studying scriptures since childhood and are good at judging cases in the Spring and Autumn Annals?

'To defend the land and keep the people safe, you need to follow the great way to be effective. What is the great way? It is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trust. These five are the basis for keeping the people safe. If you lose one of them, it will be difficult to continue. Therefore, a gentleman should strive to be complete, and if you are complete, there will be no deficiency.' Cao Ying said in a clear voice, 'Now the people of Liyang are lonely and suffer from war disasters, all because the former county magistrate Li is not a son! Now that the high school lieutenant has led the troops here, it is a good opportunity to recover Liyang and return peace to our people. How can we sit here and watch the people of Liyang suffer? ! '

Gao Rou: '...'

Cao Ying chattered and made a long speech again. When he was excited, he would gesture and say that crying was useless and he must take practical actions to recover Liyang!

Gao Rou just wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this.

Gao Rou knew that Cao Ying was a man who wanted to establish himself even if he was a man. Now that Wei Yan and others had fled, he did not dare to take a dozen people to recapture Liyang, and he did not have the authority to mobilize the soldiers in Baimazin, and Gao Rou just came to his door...

To clear Cao Ying of the crime of fleeing from Liyang, he must recapture Liyang first, and then he can put all the blame on the county magistrate, and then he will still be the clean, innocent, worthy of love, and independent child.

But Cao Ying did not have the courage to rely on his dozen guards, so asking Gao Rou to borrow troops became the only way Cao Ying could think of at the moment.

Gao Rou was helpless. He did not want to offend Cao Ying because he also knew that there was someone behind Cao Ying.

You have to look at the owner when beating a dog, no matter if it is a male or female dog.

But he was really disgusted in his heart...

What was even more disgusting was that even so, Gao Rou had to swallow this breath. Who made him eat Cao's bowl of rice?

So in the end Gao Rou allocated 200 soldiers to Cao Ying, which was the maximum limit he could decide. Even so, Cao Ying was still very dissatisfied, and cursed that Gao Rou was not broad-minded enough and did not look like a man.

Gao Rou had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​resting at Baimadu, and led his troops to cross the river to the south, chasing Wei Yan's footsteps, as if avoiding the plague...

Although the battlefield was terrible, Gao Rou felt that compared with Cao Ying, the battlefield seemed to have suddenly become amiable.

...

...

Compared with the county troops in Cao Cao's rear line, Wei Yan's soldiers were undoubtedly scarce.

But it is precisely because of the small number of troops that the tactics are very flexible, which also means that the pressure on logistical supplies is very small.

Of course, this also means taking risks.

Taking small to win big is an adventure in itself...

The key is that Wei Yan likes to take risks, and he finds this very exciting.

Wei Yan was from a humble family.

He looked down on those high-ranking children of aristocratic families, so he left Nanyang and went to Fei Qian.

Isn't this an adventure for Wei Yan?

So, what does it matter if there are more risks?

During these years under the command of the Hussars, he personally led soldiers to fight in Sichuan and Sichuan, and he also studied many other people's tactical cases from the lecture hall. It was as if he had fought against these famous generals and learned a lot. .

More importantly, Wei Yan understood politics better than in history.

After all, the Hussar General said in the martial arts hall that war is a continuation of politics.

So when Wei Yan discovered that Lao Cao's belt was very loose, he started to think about something...

There are even some absurd ideas.

Attack Xu County?

Wei Yan really gave it a try.

We ran into trouble.

I don't know whether it was for the convenience of food supply or for safety reasons, Lao Cao set up a huge farming organization around Xu County, and it was personally led by the generals close to him by marriage. Therefore, other places may turn a blind eye to Wei Yan, but once they enter the farming range of Xu County, they will inevitably attract the farming soldiers of Xu County.

Although the combat effectiveness of these field soldiers is average, the problem is that there are many of them.

The key is that these field soldiers are different from the tenant farmers in Jizhou Manor.

The properties of acres are different.

The tenants in the manor know that their fields belong to the manor owner, so when Wei Yan plunders these manors, these tenants will just look at them stupidly, or even scream, and these tenants will run away. However, the field soldiers in the field station are different from the tenant farmers. Cao Cao learned half of the Feiqian model. These acres of land are nominally owned by these field soldiers, so in order to protect their own, the field soldiers will use more force than the tenant farmers to protect their own. of strength.

"Some trouble. "Wei Yan clicked his tongue, then looked to the south reluctantly, "What a pity, what a pity..."

In fact, this is normal. The further you go to Yuzhou, the closer you are to Cao Cao's base camp. Cao Cao has been working hard for many years, and Xun Yu is assisting in governance, as well as married generals commanding the soldiers and armed forces. The original purpose is to control the emperor and officials to the greatest extent, how can he find any loopholes for Wei Yan?

While thinking about it, suddenly a soldier on duty outside warned: "There's something going on!" 』

…

…

The scenery of the Central Plains in April is actually very beautiful.

Green grass lingers by the river.

But blood and death marred these beautiful landscapes.

Blood was splashed in the mud puddles, pooled, and flowed toward the river, dyeing the water red.

The body fell down, its eyes widened with reluctance until death.

Everyone who dies is unhappy.

Each of them is Han, and the opponents they fight are also Han. Everyone feels that they are fighting for the future of the Han...

The spear in Wei Yan's hand pierced the chest of another Cao soldier.

The barrel of the gun was stained with blood, slippery and sticky.

Wei Yan casually threw his spear and pierced another Cao Jun who was rushing over. Then he snatched the opponent's sword with his hand, and then cut off the arm of another Cao Jun soldier.

Wei Yan ambushed Gao Rou.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't an ambush. It might be more appropriately called an encounter.

Gao Rou never expected to bump into Wei Yan here, and he was not ready to fight Wei Yan. Although he led more people, the soldiers were lax during the march. Wei Yan's troops suddenly appeared from the side!

Gao Rou originally thought that he could rely on his large number of soldiers to surround Wei Yan, but he completely overestimated the combat effectiveness of his men. Wei Yan directly charged into the formation, causing the formation to collapse.

This is also normal.

What kind of soldiers are Cao Jun led by Gao Rou?

Gao Rou originally belonged to Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao died, he surrendered to Cao Cao. As a surrendered general, how many private soldiers could Gao Rou retain?

hehe.

So what kind of troops did Chen Qun give Gao Rou?

They were some soldiers gathered in Yecheng, and these soldiers were the defeated soldiers left behind by Yuan Shao, soldiers from counties and counties around Yecheng.

Moreover, these county soldiers were also left over by Cao Cao and other generals from the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan...

So how much fighting desire and fighting skills can there be?

Especially Wei Yan was so crazy. Although Gao Rou was indeed lax and did not send out scouts to investigate the surroundings, who would have thought that Wei Yan would hide him under his nose on the official road?

The first step was to attack Gao Rou with a sudden attack.

Decisive and ruthless.

Gao Rou was caught off guard.

This is how victory or defeat is decided.

Perhaps without Cao Ying disturbing Gao Rou's mood, Gao Rou might be able to concentrate a little more.

Perhaps it was because none of the surrounding counties and villages called the police, but the beautiful scenery of the Central Plains made Gao Rou involuntarily relax.

In the age of cold weapons, the morale and combat skills of soldiers were also a very important part.

When Gao Rou and Gao Rou's men were surprised to see Wei Yan and others here, and felt that Wei Yan and others seemed to fall from the sky and pop out of the ground, Gao Rou had already lost with one vote.

"Capture him without mercy!" Save yourself from death! 』

Wei Yan rushed to Gao Rou and shouted loudly.

Gao Rou gritted his teeth and fought with Wei Yan with a knife.

Gao Rou has also practiced martial arts. Although he was nothing compared to the first-class generals in Jizhou under Yuan Shao's command at that time, he was at least much better than the soft-footed shrimps in Jizhou's current counties. This gave Gao Rou a kind of illusion……

It’s okay for him to fuck him.

Then Wei Yan soon told him that he couldn't do it.

After a few rounds, Gao Rou was hit by a knife. It was not deep, and it was cut on the calf. Then Gao Rou was so painful that her steps suddenly became chaotic. She was hit by another knife. She could no longer stand still and fell down with a thud. land.

"Give me a good time!" ” Gao Rou shouted.

Wei Yan stopped the knife and smiled, "What if I spare your life?" 』

"This..." Gao Rou hesitated.

He thought he was fierce, but it turned out not to be the case.

He thought he was strong, but the two wounds on his legs hurt almost to death...

"You...what are you going to do?" Gao Rou couldn't help but ask.

Wei Yan laughed, "I was looking for a key... a key to open the door... Now it seems that I should have found it..."
