Going back and forth every day, do you go through the city gate?
I just left a skin-scratching party, but another wave came. I don’t know which force this new wave is.
Hu Wei was the first to figure out that Cao's army was not like Lin Feng's personal guard camp. They came here openly and openly.
Unless Hu Wei was blind, he would have known it as soon as he walked to the city gate.
Well, Pei County has been in chaos for almost a year. The Yellow Turban army has been defeated. Bandits from all walks of life have taken turns wreaking havoc on this land. All regions have to unite to govern themselves and do their best to protect their own safety.
Now that I have big thick legs to hug, of course I have to pounce on him and call him daddy.
After Cao Cao entered the city, he immediately learned the news that Lin Feng had been here.
Leaving some men to take over Peicheng, Cao Dabailian led his army through the city and continued to pursue Lin Feng.
Now is not the time to enjoy the fruits of victory. As long as Lin Feng is captured, there is a high probability that Qingzhou and most of Jizhou can be obtained easily. Everyone wants to do this kind of lucrative business.
Lin Feng walked very carefully, leaving not many traces of his march along the way.
Pei Yuanshao may be a little weak in charging into battle, but he has extra bonuses in the area of covert marching. His former career as a bandit was not in vain.
So Cao Cao had a hard time chasing after him.
Lin Feng led his troops from the west gate of Peicheng, crossed the Ju River and Hui River one after another, and headed straight for Linju City.
Linju City is small in scale and only slightly more prosperous than ordinary county towns.
Linju City, located on the east bank of the Tuo River, is one of the checkpoints that Lin Feng must pass.
Only by passing through Linju City could Lin Feng have the opportunity to march north and attack Juyang City again, thus gaining a chance of returning to Ye City.
Cheng Yu was also prepared for this. At this time, a Cao army had temporarily taken over Linju City.
At this time, there were interceptions in front and pursuers in the rear, and the Guards Battalion was in the most difficult situation.
To say that Lin Feng was not panicked would be a lie.
No matter how much he believed in the system, Lin Feng still felt a little weak when he was walking on the tip of a knife when he was besieged and besieged from all sides.
You can't make a wrong step, as long as you make a slight mistake, you will be doomed.
There is a key step here in Linju City, and it is also the only chance to get rid of the chasing troops behind you.
According to the calculation of time, Xun You has already led the follow-up army to attack Peijun.
Even Xiahou Dun of Shanyang and Xiahou Yuan of Jiyin also received Cao Cao's general order, and their entire army set up camp and came to encircle and suppress Lin Feng.
In Xun You's words, as long as Lin Zhirou is captured, it would be a pity to lose Yuzhou.
After half a day of rapid march, the Guards Battalion barely arrived at the location designated by Lin Feng after it was completely dark.
Zaoling Post is located more than ten miles outside the east gate of Linju City, at the junction of Liangjun and Peijun.
The locals regard Zaolingang as an iconic landmark. They all know that Zaolingang belongs to Liangjun to the north and Peijun to the south.
The small hillock is not high, so it is not a big problem for adults to rush to the top of the hillock in one go. The hillock is full of wild jujube trees, but it is sparse and there is no way to hide people.
After the guard camp arrived at Zaolingang, Lin Feng ordered to set up camp on the spot.
After investigating around, Pei Yuanshao returned to Lin Feng, his face a little anxious.
"My lord, this place is unprotected from all sides. There is only one hillock. There is neither danger nor hiding place. If we are besieged by Cao's army, it will be unreasonable."
Even Dian Wei, who was not very proficient in military affairs, started to persuade: "This place is between Dang County, Linju, and Peicheng. It is where Cao's army is relatively focused. It must not be stationed for a long time. If our army goes south quickly tomorrow morning,
Go to Runan, which is under the rule of Yuan Shu and there is no Cao army. Our army can take this opportunity to get rid of Cao army."
Lin Feng shook his head repeatedly. He had tried it before. If he fled to Runan, he could only summon Cao Cao to attack Runan in advance. Not only would Runan be swallowed up by Cao Cao, but he would also fail the mission because of this.
"No need to say more, I have my own opinion. You should also take a rest quickly. After noon tomorrow, our army will attack Linju City. We are still tired from the serious work."
Dian Wei and Pei Yuanshao looked at each other. Their lord has always been mysterious and unpredictable. Since he is already confident, there is no need to say more. Let's wait and see how his lord will perform this trick tomorrow.
In the early morning of the next day, after the three armies had breakfast, Lin Feng ordered people to cut down all the big and small jujube trees on the jujube forest hillock. There was no need to sort them out. The cut trunks could be piled on the spot.
Pei Yuanshao and others all stared wide-eyed, wondering what kind of madness their lord was in.
Not to mention that more people are powerful, but without much effort, all the jujube trees on Zaolingang that had flourished for many years were cut down to the ground.
"Set fire to the post."
Following Lin Feng's order, thick smoke billowed from Zaolingang and shot straight into the sky.
Newly cut trees are not easy to catch fire, so the smoke is stronger than the fire. If a tree is swept by the smoke column, it will make your nose and tears flow non-stop.
After getting out of the limelight, Lin Feng led his army to move to the fork in the road to Linsui. After advancing no more than two or three miles, he ordered the entire army to stop and lay down on the spot, basking in the sun on both sides of the road and having a good rest.
Cao Cao originally planned to send his army to pursue him all night, but he was unable to cross the river at night, so he had to wait for dawn before marching in a hurry.
Just after noon, Cao Jun chased to the vicinity of Zaolingang. He saw thick smoke rising into the sky from a distance, and hurriedly sent detective horses to check.
Soon after, they reported that someone had set fire to Zaolingang.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and stood on his horse and pondered.
The general behind him, Cao Hong, was impatient: "My Lord, why are you still hesitating? Mr. Cheng has judged that Lin Feng will definitely attack Linju and prepares to go north again. Linju City is currently short of troops. Without reinforcements, there is no way to stop Mad Dog Lin."
Cao Cao waved his hand, looked at Tan Ma and asked, "How is the situation in the place where the fire is burning?"
"Zaolingang is the junction of the three cities. After arriving at Zaolingang along the highway, there is a three-way intersection, one leads to Linju City, and the other leads to Dang County."
"How's the fire going at this point?"
"The fire was burning brightly because the wind
Due to the direction, the thick smoke has completely obscured the road leading to Dang County, but the road leading to Linju City is smoke-free and dust-free."
Cao Cao was immediately very interested: "Order people to quickly conduct reconnaissance on the road leading to Linju. Just inspect the area within one mile and report back quickly."
Between turns, the detective horse reported: "Report, the road to Linju is covered with traces of marching, but there are no flags or dust and smoke in the distance. The road to Dang County is clean."
Cao Hong was overjoyed: "That's great. Lin Feng is heading to Linju as expected. Our army will be there in a moment, but he can't fly with his wings."
Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stop Cao Hong from speaking, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Lin Zhirou, Lin Zhirou, if someone hadn't come to chase me personally today, I would have succeeded with your false and true plan."
Cao Hong was very surprised: "Why did my lord say this?"
Cao Cao pointed at Zaolingang: "This is not a strategic military location, so why did Lin Zhirou want to burn it down?"
Cao Hong shook his head repeatedly.
"It's all because he needed fireworks to temporarily block the road to Dang County for him, and he also set up a maze on the way to Linju, leaving traces of his march to lure our army to Linju, while he led his army to attack Dang.
County, looking for an opportunity to escape."
Cao Hong thought about it carefully and took a deep breath.
"Thanks to my lord, my Dharma eyesight is intact. If Hong was the only one, he would have been deceived by Mad Dog Lin."
Cao Cao laughed again and ordered at the same time: "The three armies listened to the order and turned to Dang County. They must capture Lin Feng."
In the other direction, Lin Feng waited until the sun began to turn to the west, then sent detective horses to Zaoyang Gang for reconnaissance. Sure enough, he saw that Cao's army had turned around, and the army passed through the smoke and fog and headed straight for Dang County.
Lin Feng got on his horse and pointed his big ax in the direction of Linju City.
"The main road faces the sky, and everyone goes to one side. Cao Mengde has gone to Dang County, so let's go and capture Linju City now, and prepare to take a good rest in the city."
Pei Yuanshao and Dian Wei looked at each other, shrugged, and got on their horses with curled lips and eyes.
Sure enough, a capable person can do anything, and this magical lord of his own has succeeded again. As for how to do it this way, neither of the two people involved in the whole process can figure it out.
If you don’t understand, don’t think about it. There’s no need to talk about any procedures. You can just start playing it on the road and it’s over.
At present, there is no prefect in Linju City. The person in charge of the political and military affairs in the city is Chen Liujun Sima Xiahou Huan.
This man is a descendant of the Xiahou family and the nephew of brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Huan was aloof and arrogant. He always relied on his status as a Xiahou tribesman to disobey discipline and contradict his superiors. Therefore, he was also a disliked guy in Chenliu City.
If there was no one to send this time, Cheng Yu would never have let Xia Houhuan go to take over Linju.
Since he had no choice, Cheng Yu warned Xiahou Huan tens of thousands of times before setting off. When he arrived at Linju City, he must remember that no one would come to attack him. If a foreign enemy invaded, he would never be allowed to leave the city.
To meet the enemy, we can only defend the city to delay the attack and quickly send for reinforcements.
If something goes wrong in Linju City, his status as a Xiahou tribesman will not save him.
Xiahou Huan had fulfilled his promise, so he just raised his hands and swore a poisonous oath to heaven.
