Xiahou Dun's face became very ugly, because after the opponent's two hundred cavalry joined, the balance of victory was already tilting towards the Jizhou Army. He really didn't understand why there was such a contrast when the same two hundred people joined. Could it be that Wen Chou deliberately concealed his strength?
.
Seeing Ma Chao wielding a spear and charging towards him, Xiahou Dun's face became serious. He recognized Ma Chao at a glance. He was a fierce general of the Xiliang Army, Ma Chao.
The change in the situation on the battlefield caused Cao Jun to retreat hurriedly.
Wen Chou wiped the blood from his face, smiled at Ma Chao and said, "We can achieve a great victory this time, thanks to General Ma's help."
The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield in an orderly manner. When Gao Lan in the city saw such a scene, a smile appeared on his face. The moment Xiahou Dun couldn't help but take action, he was not worried but happy.
"Congratulations to General Ma and General Wen on their victory. This is a great achievement." Gao Lan stepped forward and said.
Wen Chou said: "What one thing? It should be two. I killed nearly 600 people in Cao's army before."
"Well, what General Wen said is true. I must report my humble position to the Lord truthfully." Although Gao Lan is the chief general in the city, Wen Chou's status in the army is much higher than him. Fortunately, Wen Chou did not ask for anything after he arrived.
Military power, otherwise Gao Lan really doesn't know what to do.
"Send the order, the three armies will be provided with food." Wen Chou said loudly.
All the soldiers who heard it cheered loudly.
Ma Chao suddenly felt that the soldiers of the Central Plains princes were a little pitiful. They all said that Liangzhou and Youzhou were a barren land, but the soldiers who came out of there were now treated incomparably with the Central Plains princes. Not to mention eating meat every day, they would not eat meat every day for three days.
There will be such a time, and the military pay is much higher than that of soldiers in the Central Plains. If such a sentence is shouted among the Xiliang army, there will definitely not be such a big response.
"General Wen, I have to report to the lord what happened today, so I will leave for now." Ma Chao said goodbye.
Looking at Ma Chao's leaving figure, Wen Chou was thoughtful.
"General, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with General Ma?" Gao Lan asked, but he was always wary of Ma Chao.
"No, I was wondering why the Xiliang Army has such strong soldiers and generals." Wen Chou said.
"I didn't even know that I was in a low-level position. It is said that Jia Rong trained soldiers with extremely harsh methods. Unexpectedly, he created an army that no one can underestimate." Gao Lan sighed. He was also a military general, and he felt proud of Jia Rong's current achievements.
Pride, even though it comes from two forces, can't help but admire it.
"General Gao, don't think too much. My lord has treated you and me very well. From a worthless soldier to where we are now." Wen Chou was afraid of what Gao Lan would think. In the army, Wen Chou always put his eyes above his head.
, there are very few people who take a fancy to him, and this Gao Lan, who usually keeps silent, is quite respectful to Wen Chou, and since he just won the victory, Wen Chou was in a good mood, so he gave him a reminder.
"Thank you, General Wen, for reminding me. How dare you forget your lord's great kindness and virtue in your humble position. In this life, you should hold the whip and stirrup for the lord." Gao Lan said.
"Okay, that's good. General Gao has had a hard day. Go back and rest early. Maybe Cao's army will attack the city in a big way tomorrow." Wen Chou patted Gao Lan on the shoulder and said.
Yuan Shao's trust in Gao Lan is naturally obvious to all. The Euphorbias, which is the most elite team in the Jizhou army, can be assigned to Gao Lan by Yuan Shao. You can imagine their status in Yuan Shao's heart.
The biggest benefactor of the successive victories was Ma Chao. Of course, Wen Chou would not be ungrateful. In front of the army lieutenant generals, he solemnly introduced Ma Chao. Wen Chou's status in the Jizhou army was much higher than that of Gao Lan. In the army,
It’s not that you have connections, it’s that you have a high status. What’s competing is personal strength. Without strength, it’s nothing in front of generals.
Wen Chou's admiration also made the generals in the army treat Ma Chao with admiration. In terms of age, Ma Chao was younger than most of the generals in the army. However, the elite level of the soldiers in the army was not necessarily achieved by all the generals together.
Have enough pride to accept the flattery of these generals.
Cao Cao paced back and forth in the tent with a depressed expression. After two consecutive defeats, he could clearly feel that the morale of the soldiers in the army was somewhat low.
"When did the Jizhou army become so powerful? Does the cavalry have such combat effectiveness?" Cao Cao asked in confusion.
"I don't know if I am in a humble position. When facing those cavalry, even a humble position feels a little powerless, let alone an ordinary cavalry." Xu Zhu attended the meeting regardless of his injuries and said hurriedly after hearing this.
Xu Zhu's words aroused the attention of everyone in the tent. It was a joke that Xu Zhu's status in Cao's army was determined by swordsmanship. He was superb in swordsmanship and strong in martial arts. He was so popular in the army that even he felt powerless.
, if it were someone else who came on stage, I'm afraid the situation wouldn't be much better.
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly. He did not have enough confidence to fight against the Xiliang Army's cavalry, not even him, nor any of the princes. Jia Rong started his career as a military general, and what he paid most attention to was the strength of the cavalry. Over the years, he has led the cavalry
Traveling across the border, we have laid a huge foundation.
"Lord, something is wrong. These soldiers do not seem to be soldiers of the Jizhou Army. Judging from their fighting methods, I have discovered something?"
"I'm afraid there is Xiliang Army in the city, and the one who left the city to defend Wen Chou was Ma Chao, the famous general of Xiliang Army."
The generals in the tent all took a breath of air-conditioning after hearing this. The shadow of the famous tree, Xiliang army suffered heavy casualties when they attacked the city. Everyone didn't think it was anything, but don't forget Xiliang on the plain.
The army is like a tiger-like existence. The cavalry are all superb in riding skills. What is even more shocking is their rigorous cooperation. They are the best in the world. Although the princes have been following the steps of the Xiliang army, they have not succeeded.
The law was not followed, and the soldiers were trained based on cryptically revealed information, which made the soldiers miserable and unacceptable.
"Could it be that the Xiliang Army in the city took action?" Cao Cao said with some disbelief. When the situation in the city was more serious before, the Xiliang Army was only responsible for defending the city, and in Cao Cao's eyes, there was no intention of not trying his best.
Thinking that in the blink of an eye, the Xiliang Army supported the Jizhou Army's cavalry operations.
"The Xiliang Army is going to fight?" Cao Cao pondered after hearing the news reported by Cao Ren: "This is possible. The Xiliang Army will not let our army take Qingzhou so easily. In that case, their status will be greatly affected.
Big impact.”
"Lord, what should we do?" Cao Ren asked.
"You are also a general of an 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, "Back then, the Xiliang Army made our Luoyang army lose its general.
, let’s just keep his ten thousand troops to regain some face.”
The Xiliang Army's support for the Jizhou Army was not kept strictly confidential, and it can be found out with just a little inquiring.
"Lord, this..." Cao Ren said.
"Don't worry, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are also human beings, and they will feel pain when they are injured. It's time to activate the secrets in the city, teach the Xiliang Army a profound lesson, and then take back Qingzhou."
"No." Cao Ren clasped his fists and left. With Cao Cao's plan, he felt completely relieved. In the army, there was always nothing that the lord could not accomplish, otherwise he would not have unified Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places.
The situation in the city gradually stabilized after the Xiliang Army went to battle and won two victories. When the people saw a little hope, they could feel at ease, and the Jizhou Army did not force the people onto the city wall to defend the city.
, so the people were neither grateful nor jealous towards the Jizhou Army. Both sides quite wanted to avoid violating the river.
There are five major aristocratic families in the city. The war-torn Qingzhou has not hindered their development. They are not weaker than the aristocratic families under the rule of the Xiliang Army. The aristocratic families in various cities in the Central Plains all possess a strength that can influence the changes in the city's situation. If they are used properly, they can get it.
Huge benefits, but if you don't grasp it well, you will suffer big losses.
In recent years, there have been many wars in Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao is not that concerned about the rule here. Qingzhou itself is still a pretty good place, but the war has made it become more and more barren. Although the aristocratic families have been supported, the people have not been able to survive.
It's about not having enough to eat.
Among the five major families, two are leaning towards the ruler Yuan Shao, and the other three are all neutral. However, this time Cao's army attacked the city, the other three became somewhat active. Usually when Cao's army attacked Qingzhou, they would stay in seclusion and avoid it.
Less than.
The extraordinary actions of the three families were naturally not hidden from the eyes of the other two aristocratic families.
Both families were prosperous. The two aristocratic 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 take this matter to heart and just comforted the two family heads.
After a few words, he sent them away.
If the three families go out together, the strength they can secretly mobilize is definitely comparable to the other two. These families do the same business, and the three families train more dead soldiers.
In the dark night, the city was completely silent. A group of about a hundred people headed towards the city gate in a hurry, looking around warily. In any case, this was the territory of the Jizhou Army, so large.
Once an operation of this magnitude is discovered, no one can escape.
With the support of the gatekeeper general, a hundred people easily opened the city gate. Cao Jun, who had been prepared outside the city, swarmed in and broke into the city. The quiet city boiled at this moment, and the streets were illuminated by bright torches.
It's as bright as day.
The common people all had experience. When they saw this movement, they knew that there was another fighting at night. They covered themselves with quilts and didn't even show their heads. They just waited for dawn the next day to make sure nothing happened before appearing again.
The movement in the city soon woke up Gao Lan Wen Chou. After hearing the news reported by the messenger, Wen Chou's face suddenly dropped. The soldiers in the military camp were resting at this time. Even if they gathered together, it would be difficult to complete it in less than a quarter of an hour.
Time was enough for Cao Jun's vanguard to reach the military camp, causing a bloody storm.
