Chapter 616 Winning the Flag
Xiahou Dun's face became very ugly, because after the other party's 200 cavalry joined, the balance of victory was tilting towards the Jizhou army. He really didn't understand why the same 200 people joined, and there was such a contrast. Could it be that Wen Chou deliberately hid his strength.
Seeing Ma Chao waving a long gun to kill, Xiahou Dun's face became solemn and recognized Ma Chao at a glance, the tough general of the Xiliang Army, Ma Chao.
The change in the situation on the battlefield made Cao's army retreat in a hurry.
Wen Chou wiped the blood stains on his face and smiled at Ma Chao, "Thanks to General Ma's help to make a big victory this time."
The soldiers cleaned the battlefield in an orderly manner. Gao Lan in the city saw such a scene with a smile on his face. At the moment when Xiahou Dun couldn't help taking action, he was not worried but happy.
"Congratulations to General Ma and General Wen for their victory. This is a great achievement." Look ahead.
Wen Chou said, "What one? It should be two. It killed nearly 600 people in Cao's army before."
"Well, what General Wen said is very true. He must tell the Lord the truth." Although Gao Lan is the main general in the city, Wen Chou's status in the army is much higher than his. Fortunately, after Wen Chou's arrival, he did not ask for military power, otherwise Gao Lan really didn't know what to do.
"Spear the order, the three armies add food." Wen Chou said loudly.
All the soldiers who heard it cheered loudly.
Ma Chao suddenly felt that the soldiers of the princes of the Central Plains were a little pitiful. They all said that Liangzhou and Youzhou were barren land, but the current treatment of the soldiers from there was not comparable to that of the Central Plains princes. Not to mention eating meat for a meal, there would always be such a time in three days, and the salary was far higher than that of the soldiers in the Central Plains. If If you shout such a sentence in the Xiliang army, there will certainly be no such a big response.
"General Wen, what happened today, I will report to my lord later, and I will leave for the time being." Ma Chao said goodbye.
Looking at Ma Chao's departure, Wen Chou was thoughtful.
"General, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with General Ma? Gao Lan asked, he was always wary of Ma Chao.
"No, I'm wondering why the Xiliang Army has such strong soldiers and generals." Wen Chou said.
"I don't know that Jia Rong trains soldiers. It is said that the method is extremely harsh, but he didn't expect to create an army that no one can underestimate." Gao Lan sighed that he was also a general. He was proud of Jia Rong's achievements now. Although he was a force of both sides, he inevitably praised him.
"General Gao, don't think too much. The lord treats you and me very well, from a worthless soldier to now." Wen Chou is afraid of what to think about Gao Lan. In the army, Wen Chou's eyes are higher than the top, and few people like him. This Gao Lan is usually silent and is still respectful to Wen Chou. In addition, just won the victory, Wen Chou is in a good mood, so he reminded him.
"Thank you, General Wen, for reminding me how dare I forget the great kindness of the lord. In this life, I should be the lord with a whip and a sickle." Gaolan Road.
"Okay, that's good. General Gao has been working hard for a day. Go back early to rest. Maybe Cao's army will attack the city tomorrow." Wen Chou patted Gao Lan's shoulder and said.
Yuan Shao's trust in Gao Lan is naturally obvious to all. The halberd, the most elite team in the Jizhou army, can be assigned by Yuan Shao to Gao Lan, which can be imagined in Yuan Shao's position in Yuan Shao's heart.
In the successive victories, the biggest benefactor is Ma Chao. Of course, Wen Chou will not forget his ungrateful. In front of the generals in the army, he introduced Ma Chao. Wen Chou's status in the Jizhou army is much higher than that of the high-level. In the army, it is not that you have anything to do with you, but a high status. What you compete for is personal strength, no strength. In front of the general, nothing counts.
Wen Chou's admiration also makes the generals in the army treat Ma Chao with new eyes. In terms of age, Ma Chao is younger than most generals in the army, but the elite level of soldiers in the army may not be achieved even if all the generals are together. Ma Chao is proud enough to accept the praise of these generals.
Cao Cao paced back and forth in the tent with a low face, and suffered two defeats in a row. He had obviously felt that the morale of the soldiers in the army was a little low.
"When did the Jizhou army become so strong? Do the cavalry have such combat effectiveness? Cao Cao said puzzledly.
"I don't know that in the face of those cavalry, even the humble position is a little powerless, not to mention ordinary cavalry." Regardless of the injury on his body, Xu Zhu attended the meeting and said hurriedly when he heard the words.
Xu Zhu's words attracted the attention of everyone in the account. It's a joke. Xu Zhu's status in the Cao army was spelled out one by one. His swordsmanship was superb, his martial arts were strong, and he won the hearts of the people in the army. Even he felt powerless. If others played, I'm afraid the situation would not be much better.
Cao Cao's face changed slightly. He did not have enough confidence in the cavalry of the Xiliang Army. He did not have enough confidence in any princes. Jia Rong started his career as a general and paid most attention to the strength of the cavalry. Over the years, he led the cavalry across the border and laid a huge foundation.
"Lord, the situation is a little wrong. These soldiers don't seem to be soldiers of the Jizhou Army. Judging from their way of fighting, what did they find?"
"I'm afraid that there is the Xiliang Army in the city, and the one who went out of the city to suppress Wen Chou was Ma Chao, the famous general of the Xiliang Army."
The generals in the tent took a breath of cold air when they heard the words. The shadow of the famous tree and the great casualties when the Xiliang army attacked the city, the people didn't think anything, but don't forget the Xiliang army on the plain, which is like a tiger-like existence. The cavalry are skillful, and what's more shocking is their rigor. With the cooperation, it is the first in the world. Although the princes have been following the pace of the Xiliang Army, they are not good at it, and they train soldiers from the vaguely revealed information, which makes the soldiers miserable and difficult to accept.
"Is it the Xiliang Army in the city who took action?" Cao Cao said in disbelief that when the situation in the city was more serious before, the Xiliang army was only responsible for defending the city, and there was a trace of in Cao Cao's eyes. Unexpectedly, the Xiliang army supported the Jizhou cavalry to fight in a blink of an eye.
"The Xiliang Army went to war?" After hearing the news of Cao Ren's report, Cao Cao Cao muttered, "It is possible that the Xiliang Army will not let my army take down Qingzhou so easily. In that case, it will have a great impact on their status."
"Lord, what should I do?" Cao Ren asked.
"You are also a general of the army. You can't wait for others to do everything for you. Think about it yourself." After Cao Cao scolded Cao Ren, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "In those years, when the Xiliang Army asked us to lose soldiers and generals, we left him as ten thousand horses, which was also a little face-catching."
The Xiliang Army's support for the Jizhou Army has not been strictly confidential. As long as you inquire a little, you can know.
"Lord, this..." Cao Rendao.
"Don't worry, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are also human beings. It will also hurt when they are injured. It's time to start the dark men in the city, teach the Xiliang Army a profound lesson, and then recapture Qingzhou."
"No." Cao Ren left with his fists in his arms. With Cao Cao's plan, his heart was completely released. In the army, the master has never done anything, otherwise he would not unify Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other places.
The situation in the city was gradually stabilized after the Xiliang army fought and won two victories. When the people saw a little hope, they could feel at ease, and the Jizhou army did not forcibly pull the people up the wall to defend the city. Therefore, the people were not grateful or jealous of the Jizhou army. Both sides It means that well water does not violate the river.
There are five major families in the city. The war-tattled Qingzhou has not blocked their development. It is not as weak as the strength of the family under the Xiliang army. The families in various cities in the Central Plains have a strength that can influence the changes in the situation in the city. If you make good use of it, you can get huge benefits. Once you don't grasp it well, you will suffer great losses. .
Over the years, there have been repeated wars in Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao's rule here is not so concerned. Qingzhou itself is still a good place. The war has made it more and more barren. Although the family has been raised, the people are not hungry.
Of the five major families, two families tend to be the ruler Yuan Shao, and the other three are all neutral. However, this time the Cao army attacked the city, and the other three were a little active. When the Cao army attacked Qingzhou, they all lived in a simple way and avoided it.
Naturally, the out-of-the-line behavior of the three families has not been hidden from the eyes of the other two families.
With all the glory, the two families immediately reported the news to Gao Lan. After two victories, there were still soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army in the city. Gao Lan did not pay attention to this matter, but relieved the two masters and sent them away.
The three families go out together, and the strength that can be secretly mobilized is absolutely comparable to the other two companies. The business of these families is the same, and the three families have trained more dead people.
On a dark night, everything in the city was silent. A team of about 100 people went in the direction of the gate, looking around in a hurry and warily. Anyway, this was in the territory of the Jizhou army. Once such a large-scale operation was discovered, no one could escape.
Hundreds of people easily opened the gate under the response of the gatekeeper. Cao Jun, who had been prepared for a long time outside the city, rushed in and broke into the city. The quiet city boiled up at this moment, and the bright torch shone the street as bright as day.
The people have experience. Seeing this movement, they knew that there was another war at night. They covered their heads one by one and didn't even show their heads. They just waited for the next day at dawn to make sure that there was nothing to appear again.
The movement in the city quickly woke up Gao Lanwen Chou. After hearing the news of the messenger's report, Wen Chou's face suddenly pulled down. The soldiers in the barracks were resting at this time. Even if they gathered, it was difficult to complete without a quarter of an hour. A quarter of an hour was enough to make Cao Jun's first. The front team arrived at the barracks, causing a bloody storm.
