Jiang Qi, Jiang Yiqu, are members of the heavyweight idol group "Hebei Four Court Pillars" launched under Yuan Shao. Although they cannot compare with Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the center in terms of strength, as a member of the group, Jiang Qi feels that he

His ability is still very strong, otherwise why would Yuan Shao choose to launch him as a member of the combination instead of other young and promising generals?

Yuan Shao's vision is naturally good. Do those boring people still dare to question Boss Yuan's decision?

So Jiang Qi has always been quite proud of his title.

But as the saying goes: If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person.

For Yan Liang Wen Chou, those native Jizhou natives, both old and young, all admired him so much that they at least did not dare to stroke his beard in front of his face. After all, these two men's illustrious reputations were actually passed through.

It was forged by battle after battle. Whether it was the mutual challenges in the countryside,

The competition, or the subsequent fight on the battlefield in Xiliang, to be honest, even a being like Jiang Qi was deeply impressed by the ferocious and even brutal performance of these two people on the battlefield, and those who were hostile to them

The various unbearable consequences of these guys only deepened the impression that they did not want to be hostile to them.

It's a pity that neither Gao Lan nor Jiang Qi can establish similar majesty.

This is really a sad story.

Even Cao Cao's army on the opposite side felt that he was obviously more like a soft persimmon than Wen Chou. Otherwise, why would Cao Cao eagerly come to his side despite knowing that Ma Bi Juancheng was closer to Xuchang?

It's a question of fame.

However, they did not expect that compared with the large army on the Baima side, a mopping-up partial division would not have enough troops.

Well, when a person starts to get into trouble, it's useless no matter what you say.

But think about it from another angle. Wen Chou and Chun Yuqiong can squander so many soldiers without restraint, but Jiang Qi only has more than 5,000 soldiers. Even the remaining strength after a fierce battle has no time to replenish this point.

It's true that it can't compare to White Horse.

From this, it seems that Jiang Qi's idea that he is inferior to Yan Liang, Wen and Chou in every aspect is not unreasonable.

And this is probably the reason why Jiang Qi, a military general belonging to the local faction, insisted on embracing Chunyu Qiong, an outsider.

Of course, to be more precise, it should be "mutual use", but Chun Yuqiong is obviously more important to Jiang Qi.

However, in the eyes of Chunyu Qiong and some of the people behind him, Jiang Qi is a very important chess piece - as if Cao Cao was worried that Zhang Cheng might choose to surrender because of the few soldiers, so he knew Yuan Shao's temper but couldn't.

Without increasing his troops, Jiang Qi, an outstanding general born in Jizhou, defected to the outsiders, which also had almost the same meaning as a benchmark.

With this benchmark, in addition to competing with the local faction for limited resources, the foreign faction can also try to obtain more resources by dividing the local faction, or in other words, obtain some additional benefits in some aspects.

It is precisely because of this consideration that when he realized that Jiang Qi might be in danger, Chunyu Qiong, a guy who was better at court fighting than fighting, immediately thought of this, so he did what he could.

Naturally, they are willing to lend a helping hand. While keeping the important chess piece installed by the foreign faction in the local faction, they also gain the favor of the other party.

Guo Tu probably had similar thoughts. After all, in addition to being a capable member of the outside faction, he also gradually showed a tendency to favor the eldest son Yuan Tan in terms of establishing heirs, and formed a good relationship with Jiang Qi, who was easier to win over.

Even if it may not be used in the future, it is always more meaningful to do this kind of cost-effective thing in advance than to rush into the situation.

In fact, when Jiang Qi stood on the gate tower of Juancheng, which still retained all the traces of the previous battle, and looked at the Cao Cao army camp in the distance, which was so far away that it was difficult to see clearly, his eyes were filled with the prospect of a great revenge.

The flame of retribution.

He has received the news that Chun Yuqiong led a team to come to the rescue, although he does not know whether Cao Cao has also received the news. But as long as Cao Cao's army dares not to retreat, then he believes that he will definitely have the ability to let Cao Cao's army know about his appearance.

It seems that some soft persimmons are not so easy to pinch!

It's a pity that his idea is destined to come to nothing.

Although Cao Cao's grasp of the rhythm of battles cannot be said to be pure and innocent, after experiencing various victories and defeats, even if he still occasionally talks about being a teenager, he has definitely grown up when he needs to calm down.

To be an excellent commander.

He kept the time very accurately.

Although the several tentative attacks on Juancheng were not all-out, and the place where the camp was set up was a bit far away from Juancheng, the previous blows given to Jiang Qi were so severe that this man could be regarded as one of the most powerful people in Yuan Shao's army.

Yuan Jun's famous general, who was excellent otherwise, would not have been supported by outsiders. Now his mind is filled with ideas of how to beat Cao Cao's army after joining forces, so much so that he subconsciously ignores all kinds of suspicious things.

Even in order to allow Chunyu Qiong's reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible, Jiang Qi continued to call for reinforcements quickly even though he was only subjected to a few tentative attacks of low intensity. Cao Cao was desperately attacking to keep Jiang Qi in Juancheng for the battle.

The dead Zhang Cheng looks like taking revenge.

Unexpectedly, not long after nightfall, Cao Cao's army left the camp in an orderly manner, leaving only a few firemen responsible for lighting fires for cooking.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao's army did not launch an offensive the next day like yesterday, when Jiang Qi climbed up and looked over, he noticed that the smoke from the Cao Cao army's camp was still rising, and the number did not seem to have changed much from before, so he

Immediately, I waited in the government office with peace of mind.

As for the arrival of Chunyu Qiong and Guo Tu's reinforcements, they discovered that it was just an empty camp, but that was something that happened later.

Looking back at Cao Cao's side.

"As expected of Wen Chou, he is so careful."

Looking at the dozen corpses on the ground, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown, because except for six of these people who were wearing Yuan Shaojun's uniforms, the rest were all Cao Cao's military uniforms, and judging from their injuries,

It turns out that although there are only a dozen participants in this battle

There was only one person, but the level of cruelty was no different from the battle involving tens of millions of people. There was even a soldier wearing Yuan Shaojun's uniform biting the finger of an unknown Cao Jun soldier, and his face was even more hesitant and bleeding.

There are so many and they look very pale.

Obviously, Cao Cao's army suffered a small loss in this small-scale contact battle.

But this is not the most important thing. What really made Cao Cao sigh and frown was that because of this small encounter, it was basically concluded that his originally planned night raid operation would be ruined.

Cao Cao really didn't expect that Wen Chou, who was always considered a reckless man, would not forget to send scouts to all directions even though his side still had obvious advantages even after Chunyu Qiong left, and the scope of the investigation of those scouts was so wide.

The strength of the battle was also beyond Cao Cao's expectations.

Under the desperate obstruction of the six Yuan Army scouts, not only did Cao Cao's army pay more than double the battle damage, but the most critical thing was that the opponent's scouts successfully sent away one of them, and this one would definitely make Cao Cao's army appear here.

The message is passed back.

Maybe the scout didn't know the size of Cao Cao's army, but if Wen Chou was really so cautious, then just such news would be enough to make him vigilant and even make many corresponding arrangements.

The originally well-planned raid may turn into an encounter due to a small change, which is indeed very easy to make people feel frustrated. Even a commander like Cao Cao who has experienced too many ups and downs can't help but feel depressed.

Slightly depressed.

But Cao Cao was still Cao Cao after all, and he recovered from such a blow almost instantly.

Cao Cao ordered a grand burial for more than a dozen warriors from both armies, but Cao Cao did not intend to change his original intention.

Going back and forth has a great impact on morale and consumes physical strength. If Wen Chou is alert and takes advantage of his strength to send a partial division to follow Cao Cao's army, then no matter how hard the battle is, it will only be more disadvantageous for Cao Cao than it is now.

This also made Cao Cao envious and jealous of Yuan Shao, who had a larger population and could recruit more soldiers.

There is no way, given the conditions. Although the Central Plains is rich, it is also the most severely damaged area by natural disasters and wars over the years. Especially if you meet a guy who likes to scrape the land, if you don't rely on the power of the little emperor to get here,

In Luoyang and Nanyang counties, Cao Cao felt that his eyes might turn green.

It's a pity that those two counties have just been obtained, and it will take some time to fully digest them. For the time being, it is impossible to provide Cao Cao with more war resources except for materials. The current war can only rely on the old foundation saved before.

.

In fact, Cao Cao was not wrong. Receiving the report of the bloody scouts did make him alert. Although he saw that Baima City had become crumbling under his command, he still gave up this city that was almost within easy reach.

city, and instead targeted the main force of Cao Cao's army that might appear.

Yes, Wen Chou thought that he could not be a partial division of Cao Cao's army or a nearby county soldier who came to rescue. First, he could make the elite scouts he sent escape in embarrassment, which obviously required considerable combat effectiveness. At the same time, because Yuan Shao's army had previously

To White Horse and Juan

The offensive in the city and other places has allowed Cao Cao's army to mobilize almost all the mobilizable troops in the nearby area. The remaining troops must stay in the city to maintain basic order. When it is far from necessary to burn the cauldron, the only thing that can happen is

The main force of Cao Cao's army.

Although when I received the intelligence, I couldn't help thinking about one question in my mind, that is: Why did the intelligence clearly say that Cao Cao led troops to Juancheng to attack Jiang Qi's troops, and even forced Yuan Shao's army on the white horse to split up and go there?

Rescue, but the main force of Cao Cao's army will still appear within the warning range of Wen Chou, who is not far from the white horse?

But Wen Chou is still a warrior after all. For him, he shouldn't think about things he doesn't understand.

Well, it looks very much like Li Shushi's children's style when he first entered the world.

Anyway, I only need one word "fuck you" as my code of conduct.

Ahem, those who complain about literary ugliness were infected by a Longxi prefect who calls himself the Emperor of Mathematics should not speak out.

So, more than ten miles away from Baima, Wen Chou's troops encountered Cao Cao's troops.

Both sides took up positions just a stone's throw away. While organizing their own army formations, they were also observing the enemy's movements.

It has to be said that even if he hands over part of his troops to his deputy in order to continue to besiege Baima City and continuously suppress the defenders in the city, Wen Chou still has slightly more troops than Cao Cao's patchwork troops.

On the one hand, it is naturally the problem of the number of troops mentioned before. On the other hand, Cao Cao was a little embarrassed - the weak county soldiers fell behind seriously in two consecutive light attacks, and those soldiers who fell behind were basically

Xanadu became a deserter instead of trying to keep up and return to the embrace of the organization.

It was precisely because he saw such a cruel reality that Cao Cao gave up his plan to go back to Juancheng to fight Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Qi, a pair that seemed weaker than Wen Chou. He did not want to wait until his third time.

After the urgent march, it was found that the available troops were less than half of what was brought out. In that case, there was no need to engage in battle with the enemy. It would be better for Cao Cao to wash up and go home to sleep.

"When I fought side by side with this army, I didn't have such a clear feeling, but now that I have become an opponent, I feel more and more that this is really an amazing army. With the current strength of our army, even if we win, we will still have to win.

You have to pay a heavy price. Not to mention that there is a fierce general Wen Chou in the formation, who is a generation of heroes who are extremely troublesome."

After observing for a while, Cao Cao found that the conclusion he had drawn seemed to make him more discouraged than before.
