Wei Yan came to the east gate with five hundred cavalry. When he saw Le Jin and his soldiers waiting in full formation, he moved forward step by step, approaching Le Jin bit by bit, and at the same time asked the soldiers to make some showy actions.
However, Le Jin was very quiet and did not dare to move without Cao Cao's order. When he saw Wei Yan and his men shouting not far away, he neither refuted nor attacked.
When Wei Yan saw Le Jin's unusual calmness, he understood in his heart. He sneered and said to his subordinates: "I have a general idea of Cao Cao's intention. I will withdraw temporarily..."
"Wei Yan, please leave!" Xu Chu interrupted Wei Yan's words with a shout, and galloped toward Wei Yan with a big hammer in hand.
Wei Yan turned his head and frowned when he saw Xu Chu coming, thinking in his mind: "Why is this damn fat guy here?"
He knew that Dian Wei and Xu Chu were two fierce generals under Cao Cao's tent. He only looked at Xu Chu once, then turned away, and quickly left the battlefield with his men without looking back.
In Xu Chu's body, ordinary war horses can carry him just fine, but coupled with the big hammer in his hand, it will be very laborious when running. From a distance, it seems as if the war horse is walking slowly. He
Seeing that Wei Yan ignored him, a trace of anger suddenly arose in his heart, and he shouted loudly: "Wei Yan is a common man, you are a cowardless bandit, don't leave if you have the ability, and I will fight with your grandfather!"
Wei Yan listened carefully, but there was only a faint smile on his face, and he ignored Xu Chu's words, as if this person did not exist.
Xu Chu was so angry that he finally ran in front of Le Jin's camp. He felt that riding a horse was not as fast as him, so he got off his horse and started chasing Wei Yan with a big hammer.
Seeing this, Le Jin hurriedly rode out and stood in front of Xu Chu. He raised his spear and shouted, "General Xu, don't be impulsive. Wei Yan is deliberately provoking you. If he pursues him, he will be ambushed."
Yu Jin rode a fast horse and galloped over quickly. Seeing that Xu Chu and Yue Jin were there, but the Yan army had disappeared without a trace, he asked, "Where is Wei Yan?"
Le Jin replied: "Wei Yan ran away a long time ago. What is your order, my lord?"
Yu Jin sighed and said, "I'm a step late. The lord ordered us to take the initiative..."
"It's too late..." Le Jin also sighed.
Yu Jin glanced sideways at Xu Chu and asked, "Fatty Xu, why are you here?"
"Humph!" Xu Chu twisted his face, glared at Yu Jin, and said angrily, "It's all you who came out one step before me, but arrived one step later than me. If you had arrived earlier, Wei Yan wouldn't have been able to escape.
"
Yu Jin had a look of embarrassment on his face. When he saw Xu Chu carrying a big hammer and leading his horse and swaggering away, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with him?"
Le Jin said with a smile: "He challenged Wei Yan, and Wei Yan ignored him. He was probably angry."
Yu Jin said: "Forget it, just run away. The other three gates have already sent out troops, and the goal has been achieved. The rest is up to you and Li Dian. You must be truthful and get Wei Yan into the city."
, everything will be easy to handle.”
Le Jin's position was not as great as Yu Jin's, so he immediately cupped his fists and said, "No!"
Afterwards, everything in the defense of the east gate returned to normal, Yu Jin rode away, and Le Jin stayed behind to guard the camp. On the one hand, he had to guard against the soldiers in Jinan City breaking out, and on the other hand, he had to guard against Wei Yan's surprise attack. He had to strengthen his vigilance.
On the tower of Jinan City, Zang Ba could see clearly and truly. When he saw Wei Yan coming and returning, he thought to himself: "Wei Yan seems to have seen through Cao Cao's trick of bringing him into the city. This is also true."
Well, we saved ourselves from being taken over by Cao Cao. With him outside, it shouldn't be difficult for our army to break through."
…
Wei Yan withdrew his troops ten miles back and arrived at the pre-arranged location. After gathering his subordinates, there were no fewer people. However, when he heard that the Wei troops from the other three gates had launched an attack, he just sneered and said: "It's just
You little fool, I want to make Cao Cao look good this time."
After Chen Shi and Guo Ying listened, they immediately asked: "General, do you have a strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Wei Yan nodded and said slowly: "I have a general understanding...you see..."
He took out the sword hanging from his waist, drew a square on the ground, and drew four small squares around the square. Then he pointed the big square with the tip of his sword and explained: "This is Jinan City. The city should be
With ten thousand people, the Wei army did not attack the city, but only besieged it. The purpose was that there was a lack of food and grass in Jinan City, and they wanted to wait until the city ran out of food before attacking again. These four small squares represent the four camps of the Wei army, and Cao Cao must be among them.
In a large camp, if you attack the camp at night and defeat Cao Cao, Zang Ba will definitely lead his troops to break through when the enemy army is leaderless. At that time, you should cooperate with the outside and attack the Wei army from the front and rear. You will be able to rescue Zang Ba and then join forces together.
Just return to the plains."
Chen Shi and Guo Ying listened in confusion and asked in unison: "How did the general know which camp Cao Cao was in? And when our army attacked the camp secretly, how did General Zang in the city know the time and cooperate with him?
Where is our army?"
Wei Yan smiled and said: "Anyway, Cao Cao will not be at the east gate. Otherwise, Xu Chu should come out of the camp outside the east gate instead of coming from other directions. In addition, General Zang is well versed in the art of war. I went back during the day and deliberately stayed at the east gate.
Showing off one's strength in front of the enemy is just a show to show them. I want to let the soldiers in the city know that there is an army outside to meet them. I think the towers of Jinan City should be filled with dense soldiers now.
And we must pay close attention to the movements of the four city gates. Once we learn that our army has launched a night attack, we will provide support and cooperate with us to attack the enemy's camp at night."
Chen Shi said: "The general is very wise, and his subordinates admire him. However, this Cao Cao is not at the east gate, then which gate is he at?"
"It's simple. You two will lead all the soldiers and horses to station here. If something happens, you will just retreat without fighting. I have to personally confirm the camp where Cao Cao is, and then I can capture the thief and the king." Wei Yan
Be confident and confident.
Guo Ying asked curiously: "How can the general confirm if he is alone?"
Wei Yan smiled and did not answer. He immediately got on his horse, picked up the reins of the horse, and said to Chen Shi and Guo Ying, "Wait for my good news."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yan dismounted his horse and galloped away immediately. However, this time he did not go to the east gate, but took a detour to the south gate.
Outside the south gate of Jinan City, Li Dian led 3,000 Qingzhou troops to garrison here. However, the fortress was built to accommodate 5,000 people, and the flags were fluttering. This bluffing method made it appear from the outside that there were indeed 5,000 people.
Human strength.
Wei Yan took care of three Wei army scouts first, hid in a small forest not far from the military camp, and looked at the camp from a distance.
After careful observation, Wei Yan couldn't see anything except the majesty of the Qingzhou Army. He couldn't even tell where the leading general Li Dian was standing. He felt that waiting for help was not the way to go.
Suddenly an idea came to him, and he rode out of the woods, directly exposed to the sight of the Wei army. He reined in the horse, raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Where is Fatty Xu? Come out and fight for me for three hundred rounds?"
The sound quickly reached the ears of Wei Jun. Li Dian was wearing the armor of an ordinary soldier and stood in the middle of the soldiers. When he saw Wei Yan coming to the door alone and making noise, he became suspicious and secretly thought: "This man is behind the scenes."
There must be soldiers ambushed, otherwise I wouldn't be shouting here so boldly, so I'd better not move around."
Seeing that there was no response in the military camp after Wei Yan shouted, he shouted again: "Fat Xu, get out of here, you little turtle. I'm going to chop off your dog's head with the big knife in my hand today..."
The voice was loud and clear, but there was no Xu Chu in Li Dian's camp, so no one answered.
Wei Yan thought for a while and figured that Xu Chu was not in the camp, so he rode away and turned to the west gate.
Since Ximen was in charge of guarding, he did not have as many worries as Li Dian. When he saw Wei Yan shouting in front of the formation alone, he immediately got on his horse and rushed out with two hundred cavalry.
When Wei Yan saw Yu Jin coming to chase him, he turned around and ran away.
Yu Jin saw that Wei Yan was running very fast, and after chasing him for two miles, he saw that Wei Yan had disappeared without a trace, so he stopped chasing him and retreated directly.
Wei Yan took the opportunity to turn to the north gate. He only secretly glanced at the camp outside the north gate where tigers and leopards were riding in an endless stream. He immediately frowned and thought: "Cao Cao should be here..."
In order to further confirm Cao Cao's location, he rode out on horseback, came to the front of the camp, and shouted loudly: "Xu Chu, you damn fat man, get out of here quickly, Dian Wei, you little turtle, get out of here quickly."
, I will use the big knife in my hand to chop off the heads of both of you and use them as benches to sit on, I..."
Before he finished cursing, Wei Yan saw a large man standing out from the central military camp in the distance, with incomparable anger in his eyes. It was Xu Chu.
Xu Chu was furious. When he saw Wei Yan, he was like an evil eagle seeing a chicken. He casually picked up the weapon of a soldier outside the camp and held it in his hand. Then he grabbed the horse of a tiger and leopard rider and galloped towards the outside of the camp.
, while running, he cursed loudly: "Niang Xipi! I will kill you today!"
Dian Wei also flashed out of the tent. He folded his arms and stood quietly by the tent. When he saw Xu Chu rushing over at once, he sneered: "Fat Xu is going to go on a killing spree!"
When Wei Yan saw Xu Chu rushing over with eager eyes, instead of being afraid, he even yelled more fiercely. Seeing Xu Chu's eyes full of anger, he rushed over with a long knife in his hand. He squinted and saw Cao Cao also walking from the tent.
When he came out, he hurriedly said to Xu Chu: "Damn Fatty, you are too slow. Grandpa won't play with you anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Danger turned around and ran away. After the driver gave a loud shout, the horses under him ran away as if they were flying.
Xu Chu chased after him with a long knife and shouted: "It's your grandfather! Don't run away if you can!"
As Wei Yan ran, he turned back to look at Xu Chu with a sarcastic look, and cursed loudly: "The one who doesn't run is not your grandfather. If you have the ability, come with me. Grandpa, I will teach you how to come back."
"It belongs to your grandfather! Are you afraid of asking?" Xu Chuyi is a very brave man. As early as when Wei Yan accompanied Xu You to Changyi, he disliked Wei Yan. Now that Wei Yan is insulting him in every possible way, he can no longer bear it.
