Chapter 3264 Finding the Key

Chapter 3263 Looking for the key

In Yecheng, Chen Qun summoned Gao Rou.

Chen Qun was worried about handing over the limited troops he had to Jizhou guys, so he had to choose Gao Rou. Although Gao Rou did not deal with Cao Cao in the early days and had a closer relationship with Yuan Shao, now that the Yuan family has collapsed, as an old member of the Yuan family, he should be given a chance.

"In the past, Yao, Shun, and Yu all governed the world with virtue, so they were able to create a world of great harmony." Although today's world is not like the ancient times, the way to govern the country should also be based on the methods of the ancients. If you want to govern the country with virtue, you must first cultivate your character and your family before you can govern the country and bring peace to the world. Therefore, a gentleman should stick to his roots, and the Tao will be born when his roots are established. ” Chen Jun saw Gao Rou and said this after a simple greeting.

Gao Rou lowered his head and said yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, but in his heart he was scolding her.

After scolding Chen Qun's mother, she didn't forget to hit her. Is it necessary?

"Business" What is the foundation?

Of course, Gao Rou still held up his hands and said, "Chen Shijun is right, please keep this in mind, keep this in mind..."

Chen Qun nodded, and then said: "Recently, there have been thieves in Jibei. The prince is worried about the people and wants to kill them. However, the thieves are cunning and have broken into pieces and are running around... Now there are three thousand soldiers. I don't know." Is the High School Lieutenant willing to take on this responsibility, exterminate the rebels, and hope for peace? 』

Gao Rou took a breath.

This is not easy to do.

Even if it’s not easy, you have to do it!

"The lower official is willing to share the worries of the prince and serve the envoy... But..." Gao Rou was still prepared to give herself a way out, "But Jizhou is very big, and three thousand people are like looking for a needle in a haystack. I don't know where the thieves are, how can they fight?" 』

Chen Qun smiled slightly, "It was reported that the traitor appeared in Qinghe recently..."

…

…

Wei Yan discovered that Cao Cao's waistband was really loose.

Of course, this is for the mountain soldiers led by Yu Wei Yan. It's hard to say whether they are other types of soldiers, or soldiers commanded by other generals. After all, Wei Yan began to train mountain soldiers in wilderness survival skills when Cao Cao was fighting for Jingzhou. The supplement of some daily consumables was basically no problem for Wei Yan and others who put on Cao Cao's military robes, and sometimes even The local villages and towns would think that Cao Jun's soldiers had been reformed, and even gave them money when they bought things...

Don't think that Cao Cao's military discipline can be very good. It refers to the elite soldiers such as the central guards and the central guards. The ordinary soldiers of Cao Cao's army are terrible!

Yes, don't run, it's you, Qingzhou soldier!

Originally, the Qingzhou soldiers were a mixture of good and bad, old, weak, young and strong. However, after they surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao drew out a large number of young and strong soldiers to form an elite central leading army and central guard army. So the original poor old and weak soldiers were What to do with the weak ones? Of course, it's just a small army, oh, the original Qingzhou Army.

How good can the military discipline of Qingzhou Army be like this?

So much so that before the classmate Lao Cao in history wanted to attack Nanyang, he had to play a trick of cutting off his hair...

This drama is so shallow that all the generals can't understand it, but it also reflects Cao Cao's helplessness. You must know that Nanyang is the hometown of the emperor, not Xuzhou. If Qingzhou soldiers are really beaten, it will really open the curtain of the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty and slap him hard, and he will not immediately go to the end of Yuan Erluzi?

So Cao Cao was really cruel and cut off his hair.

Classmate Lao Cao cut off his hair with a click, squinted and sneered, "I've already cut it off!" You figure it out! 』

Everyone stepped forward and said, "Why bother?" Oh, why bother? ! Okay, okay, everyone, please calm down! Wipe your saliva and tidy up your clothes! 』

Although everyone knows that he is acting, it is also a traitorous act for Cao Cao to be able to act as an actor and sing on stage.

Most of Cao Jun's local guards were just dawdling around. Even if they saw something wrong with Wei Yan and others' attire or behavior, as long as the bounty was not in place...

Who the hell wants to be nosy?

In Shandong, there is a saying that exists like a guideline, that is, "do more and you will make more mistakes, do less and you will make fewer mistakes, and do not do better".

After all, in Shandong, those who talk are the upper-class people, and those who do the actions are the lower-class untouchables. If you want to get these people to do something voluntarily and voluntarily, it will be unless you are taking an exam for a position.

So, Wei Yan led his soldiers out of the Taihang Mountains, going around and around, until they reached the Qinghe River, where they encountered a blockade of a thousand Cao soldiers.

The two sides fought and suffered casualties on each other. Afterwards, Cao's army was defeated and retreated to Qinghe County.

Wei Yan did not attack Qinghe County, which had a high city and deep ditches. Instead, he passed through the city without entering, and made a posture of going south to enter Yanzhou, force Yuzhou, and attack Xu County.

If there is not enough food and grass, one or two small manors and forts will be knocked down.

The servants guarding the courtyard of these manor and Wubao have a good deterrent effect against ordinary people, but they are like chickens when faced with the force of Wei Yan and others, and it is not difficult at all. After breaking through the perimeter, the manor owner was often the first to run away, causing Wei Yan to have to praise, "You ran so fast!" 』

After Wei Yan invades Manor Wubao, he will open a warehouse to release grain and distribute all the grain and utensils to the people...

As a result, a very interesting situation occurred. When receiving an alarm or under certain pressure, Cao Jun from surrounding counties had to come to "rescue" these manor and forts. The first thing they did was not to go Follow the traces of Wei Yan and others, but first collect the distributed food utensils!

As for Wei Yan's whereabouts, who cares?

The manor owner doesn't care anyway. As long as the land is still there and those untouchables are still there, we will take back as many things as we can. We would rather give them to Wei Yan and others than to these untouchables. Otherwise, these untouchables will just lie down and stop working if they have money and things. what to do?

Cao's soldiers in surrounding counties also didn't care. The only person who was hurt was the manor owner. For them, there was no need to fight and there was a benefit in taking such a trip. Who would bother to find out where Wei Yan had gone?

Anyway, just don't come back.

What?

Back again?

I didn’t hear or see it, so no one reported it?

No one reported it, so how can it be considered that this happened?

ha? ! Did anyone really report it? ! What are you still doing? ! Why don't you kill that person quickly...

…

…

Gao Rou led three thousand soldiers to chase after the traces left by Wei Yan. The more he chased, the more frightened he became.

When Wei Yan attacked Jizhou, what made Gao Rou sigh with emotion was not Wei Yan and his soldiers themselves, but the situation in various places in Jizhou during the process, as well as the changes in the mentality of the nobles, gentry, gentry, and powerful people in Jizhou.

Sometimes Gao Rou even has an idea in her mind...

Are these guys knowing it's Wei Yan, but are they pretending to be confused?

After all, if Fei Qian really wins, can it be said that he has formed a good relationship in the future?

Gao Rou chased all the way and saw the traces left by Wei Yan heading south, but the besieging troops that were supposed to appear in the south were still missing...

So Gao Rou did not dare to cross the river and pursue him again, so he stopped at Baima Crossing. On the one hand, he sent people to Yecheng to inform Chen Qun of relevant matters. On the other hand, Gao Rou encountered new troubles at Baima Crossing.

Cao Ying.

Cao Ying is beautiful in appearance, soft in body, and has an orchid finger.

After Cao Ying escaped from Li Yang, he huddled in Baima Jin and shivered.

"She", sorry, this is not an insult, it just describes Cao Ying's current state.

If someone is dissatisfied, they can also change it to the word "it".

In the Cao family, Cao Ying was often troubled and angry because of his appearance. At that time, he was still himself. But when he really benefited from his appearance, he became her.

Make money, not shabby.

Who is not out to sell these days?

Since you want to sell it, why not sell it at a high price?

Now that you have awakened, why not open your eyes and see the world?

Of course, which eye to open is indeed a question.

As a result, before Cao Ying could feel comfortable, Wei Yan came and actually taught Cao Ying how to behave. However, Cao Ying felt that he couldn't learn it, and he would never learn it in his whole life, so he could only wake up reluctantly, and then focused on Gao Rou. soldiers.

"High School Lieutenant!" This is not a request, this is a must! 』

Cao Ying patted the table.

He didn't dare to bang the table with Wei Yan, but he had the courage to bang the table with Gao Rou.

Because Shandong has rules and is reasonable. When it comes to talking about rules and principles, who can be better than the Confucian disciples who have been studying scriptures since childhood and are good at breaking prisons in the Spring and Autumn Period?

"To protect the land and bring peace to the people, we need to practice the Dao in order to be effective." What is the avenue? It is called benevolence, it is called righteousness, it is called propriety, it is called wisdom, and it is called faith. These five are the foundation of peace for the people. If one of them is lost, it will be difficult to continue. Therefore, a gentleman should do his best to ensure that everything is complete and there is nothing missing. ” Cao Ying’s voice was loud and clear, “Now the people of Liyang are lonely and suffering from military disasters, all because the former county magistrate Li family is not the son of a human being! Now that Gao Xiaowei has led his troops here, it is a good opportunity to regain Liyang and restore peace to our people. How can we sit here and watch the people of Liyang suffer? ! 』

Gao Rou: "..."

Cao Ying had another long speech, and when he got excited, he would point fingers, saying that crying and crying were of no use, and that practical actions must be taken to regain Liyang!

Gao Rou just wanted to roll her eyes after hearing this.

Gao Rou knew very well that people like Cao Ying would do whatever they wanted. Now seeing Wei Yan and others running away, he did not dare to take more than a dozen people to recover Liyang, and he did not have the authority to mobilize Bai Mjin's soldiers. You have to move, and Gao Rou just arrived at your door...

In order to clear up Cao Ying's crime of escaping from Liyang, he must regain Liyang first, and then he can blame all the faults and put them on the head of the county magistrate. Then he will still be the clean one. A good boy who is innocent, worthy of love, and has an independent personality.

However, Cao Ying did not have the courage to rely on a dozen of his own guards, so asking Gao Rou to borrow troops became the only way Cao Ying could think of at the moment.

Gao Rou was helpless. He didn't want to offend Cao Ying, because he also knew that there was someone behind Cao Ying.

Beating a dog depends on the owner, whether it is a male or a female dog.

But I just feel really uncomfortable in my heart...

What's even more disturbing is that even if this is the case, Gao Rou has to swallow this breath. Who will let him eat Cao's rice?

So in the end, Gao Rou assigned two hundred soldiers to Cao Ying, which was the maximum limit he could make. Even so, Cao Ying was still very dissatisfied, cursing and saying that Gao Rou was not big enough, broad-minded enough, and did not look like a man.

Gao Rou had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​resting at Baima Crossing, and directly led his troops to cross the river southward, chasing Wei Yan's footsteps, as if he was avoiding the plague...

Although the battlefield is scary, Gao Rou feels that compared with Cao Ying, the battlefield seems to have suddenly become amiable.

…

…

Compared with the military strength of counties and counties on Cao Cao's back line, Wei Yan's soldiers are undoubtedly sparse.

But it is precisely because of the small number of troops that the tactics are very flexible, which also means that the pressure on logistical supplies is very small.

Of course, this also means taking risks.

Taking small to win big is an adventure in itself...

The key is that Wei Yan likes to take risks, and he finds this very exciting.

Wei Yan was from a humble family.

He looked down on those high-ranking children of aristocratic families, so he left Nanyang and went to Fei Qian.

Isn't this an adventure for Wei Yan?

So, what does it matter if there are more risks?

During these years under the command of the Hussars, he personally led soldiers to fight in Sichuan and Sichuan. He also studied many other people's tactical cases from the lecture hall. It was as if he had fought against these famous generals and learned a lot. .

More importantly, Wei Yan understood politics better than in history.

After all, the Hussars General said in the lecture hall that war is the continuation of politics.

So when Wei Yan discovered that Lao Cao's belt was very loose, he started to think about something...

There are even some absurd ideas.

Attack Xu County?

Wei Yan really gave it a try.

We ran into trouble.

I don't know whether it was for the convenience of food supply or for safety reasons, Lao Cao set up a huge farming organization around Xu County, and it was personally led by the generals close to him by marriage. Therefore, other places may turn a blind eye to Wei Yan, but once they enter the farming range of Xu County, they will inevitably attract the farming soldiers of Xu County.

Although the combat effectiveness of these field soldiers is average, the problem is that there are many of them.

The key is that these field soldiers are different from the tenant farmers in Jizhou Manor.

The properties of acres are different.

The tenants in the manor know that their fields belong to the manor owner, so when Wei Yan plunders these manors, these tenants will just look at them stupidly, or even scream, and these tenants will run away. However, the field soldiers in the field station are different from the tenant farmers. Cao Cao learned half of the Feiqian model. These acres of land are nominally owned by these field soldiers, so in order to protect their own, the field soldiers will use more force than the tenant farmers to protect their own. of strength.

"Some trouble. "Wei Yan clicked his tongue, then looked to the south reluctantly, "What a pity, what a pity..."

In fact, this is normal. The further you go to Yuzhou, the closer you are to Cao Cao's base camp. Cao Cao has been working hard for many years, and Xun Yu is assisting in governance, as well as the married generals commanding the soldiers and armed forces. The original purpose is to control the emperor and officials to the greatest extent, how can he find any loopholes for Wei Yan?

While thinking about it, suddenly a soldier on duty outside warned: "There's something going on!" 』

…

…

The scenery of the Central Plains in April is actually very beautiful.

Green grass lingers by the river.

But blood and death marred these beautiful landscapes.

Blood was splashed in the mud puddles, pooled, and flowed toward the river, dyeing the water red.

The body fell down, its eyes widened with reluctance until death.

Everyone who dies is unhappy.

Each of them is Han, and the opponents they fight are also Han. Everyone feels that they are fighting for the future of the Han...

The spear in Wei Yan's hand pierced the chest of another Cao soldier.

The barrel of the gun was stained with blood, slippery and sticky.

Wei Yan casually threw his spear and pierced another Cao Jun soldier who was rushing over. Then he snatched the opponent's sword with his hand, and then cut off the arm of another Cao Jun soldier.

Wei Yan ambushed Gao Rou.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't an ambush. It might be more appropriately called an encounter.

Gao Rou never expected to bump into Wei Yan here, and he was not ready to fight Wei Yan. Although he led more people, the soldiers were lax during the march. Wei Yan's troops suddenly appeared from the side!

Gao Rou originally thought that he could rely on his large number of soldiers to surround Wei Yan, but he completely overestimated the combat effectiveness of his men. Wei Yan directly charged into the formation, causing the formation to collapse.

This is also normal.

What kind of soldiers are Cao Jun led by Gao Rou?

Gao Rou originally belonged to Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao died, he surrendered to Cao Cao. As a surrendered general, how many private soldiers could Gao Rou retain?

hehe.

So what kind of troops did Chen Qun give Gao Rou?

They were some soldiers gathered in Yecheng, and these soldiers were the defeated soldiers left behind by Yuan Shao, soldiers from counties and counties around Yecheng.

Moreover, these county soldiers were also left over by Cao Cao and other generals from the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan...

So how much fighting desire and fighting skills can there be?

Especially Wei Yan was so crazy. Although Gao Rou was indeed lax and did not send out scouts to investigate the surroundings, who would have thought that Wei Yan would hide him under his nose on the official road?

The first step was to attack Gao Rou with a sudden attack.

Decisive and ruthless.

Gao Rou was caught off guard.

This is how victory or defeat is decided.

Perhaps without Cao Ying disturbing Gao Rou's mood, Gao Rou might be able to concentrate a little more.

Perhaps it was because the surrounding counties and counties did not call the police, but the beautiful scenery of the Central Plains made Gao Rou involuntarily relax.

In the age of cold weapons, the morale and combat skills of soldiers were also a very important part.

When Gao Rou and Gao Rou's men were surprised to see Wei Yan and others here, and felt that Wei Yan and others seemed to fall from the sky and pop out of the ground, Gao Rou had already lost with one vote.

‘Surrender! You can save your life!’

Wei Yan rushed to Gao Rou and shouted.

Gao Rou gritted his teeth and did not respond, holding a knife and fighting with Wei Yan.

Gao Rou also practiced martial arts. Although he was nothing compared to the first-class generals in Jizhou under Yuan Shao, he was at least much better than the weaklings in the counties of Jizhou. This made Gao Rou have an illusion...

He can do it.

And then Wei Yan soon told him that he couldn't.

After a few rounds, Gao Rou was hit by a knife, not deep, in the calf, and then Gao Rou's steps were messed up in pain, and he was hit by another knife, and he could no longer stand steadily, and fell to the ground with a puff.

‘Give me a quick death!’ Gao Rou shouted.

But Wei Yan stopped the knife and smiled, ‘What if I spare your life?’

‘This...’ Gao Rou hesitated.

He thought he was very fierce, but he turned out not to be.

He thought he was very strong, but the two wounds on his legs hurt him so much...

"What...what are you going to do?" Gao Rou couldn't help but ask.

Wei Yan laughed, "I'm looking for a key...a key to open the door...it seems that I have found it now..."
