Cao Thief

Chapter 232 Sniping Zhang Wenyuan (23)

Time, two days ago.

Location, upstream of Zushui.

Characters, Gan Ning, Deng Zhi...

"Xingba, if you want to solve the danger of Quyang, you and I can divide into two groups."

Gan Ning looked at Deng Zhi suspiciously, "How do we divide the troops into two groups? We don't have many troops, so if we divide the troops, wouldn't it be more difficult?"

Deng Zhi said: "The troops are divided into two groups, and I will return to Haixi immediately by myself."

"Oh?"

"There are still hundreds of soldiers in Haixi County. I ask my uncle and grandson to send troops to help Quyang; however, the support that Haixi can give may not be too much. Although there are [-] people in Haixi, they have not been trained. Originally planned to train troops this winter, but Lu Bu suddenly sent troops, which ruined Uncle Sun's plan. Temporary recruitment also takes time. Therefore, Haixi's reinforcements can at most make Youxue persist for a few more days.

The real reinforcements lie with you. "

"at me?"

Gan Ning's eyes were slightly closed, revealing a state of contemplation.

In the distance, the Xiapi army is attacking Quyang fiercely, and the sound of shouting and killing can be heard faintly.

"How do I rescue?"

"Make a picture!"

"what?"

"Cao Xing is the chief general of Lu Bu's guarding the minister. After Song Xian's [-] soldiers and horses are annihilated, Cao Xing will come out. Therefore, the minister must guard the emptiness at this time. No matter whether Chen Gong or Cao Xing, it is impossible to think of it. At this time, we have the courage to make a surprise attack.

I heard that Zhou Kui, the next prime minister, has a false name and is not worth worrying about.

As long as he wins the lower profile, it means that Chen Gong and Cao Xing's retreat is cut off.At that time, Chen Gong will definitely divide his troops to rescue the lower ministers, and Quyang's danger will be resolved by itself.However, after taking the photo, you will face great danger.Once Lu Bu finds out, he will definitely send troops to rescue the prime minister, and you will be hit by the enemy at that time.Therefore, after capturing the lower phase, you must leave the lower phase as soon as possible to avoid the annihilation of the entire army. "

Deng Zhi's plan can be called dredging from the bottom.

Xiaxiang (that is, today's Suqian) is the southern barrier of Xiapi County. Once it is breached, Xiapi will face the enemy directly, and there will be no place to turn around.Moreover, the food and grass outside Quyang City came from Xiaxiang.If the prime minister is captured, it means that Chen Gong's food supply will be cut off...

This strategy is not unreadable.

But at the same time, Gan Ning will be under tremendous pressure as the leader of the surprise attack on the prime minister.

He couldn't help but want to make a quick decision and seize the prime minister; moreover, he had to persist until Chen Gong divided his troops, and at the right time, withdraw the prime minister.

At the same time, Gan Ning had to face Xiapi's counterattack.

In short, this strategy is very good, but the more risky it is.

After pondering for a long time, Gan Ning said decisively: "If you want to be in danger of Quyang, this is the only way!"

--------------------------

The knife is fast, the horse is fast.

In a short distance of 30 meters, Zhao Yebai slowed down continuously, making Gan Ning's aura reach its limit in an instant.A gust of wind hangs in the dragon bird in his hand, tearing Li Xiao into the air.The big knife didn't have any fancy, but it completely shrouded Cao Xing in the knife's momentum.

However, Cao Xing is not mediocre!
As one of the eight strong generals, he naturally has his extraordinary abilities.

In terms of martial arts, Cao Xing is inferior to Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and others, but he can be regarded as a first-class general.

How can someone who can shoot Xiahou Dun blind in the eyes be an idle person?He joined the army when he was young, and fought with Lu Bu, so he has extremely rich experience.

He has an extraordinary sensitivity to danger.

So when Gan Ning rushed out of the city gate, he had already sensed the danger.

Instinctively, he held the big gun in his hand in front of his body and blocked it outward.It's just that one is ready to fight, and the other is rushing to fight. Although Cao Xing blocked Gan Ning's Longque saber, his arms were numb due to the huge force contained in the lock...Gan Ning missed , without saying a word, the big knife turned over, sticking to Cao Xing's big gun, and wiped it out horizontally.If this knife hits the target, Cao Xing's hand will be gone.Cao Xing was so frightened that he quickly let go of one hand, and the big gun turned over to stab when the two horses stepped on the wrong foot.

Who knows, his speed is fast, Gan Ning is even faster.

The moment Zhao Yebai strayed from Cao Xing's war horse, he suddenly accelerated.

Before Cao Xing's big spear could be thrust out, Gan Ning was beside him.Immediately stretched out his hand, Peng grabbed the belt around Cao Xing's waist.

With a loud roar, Gan Ning lifted Cao Xing off the horse with one hand, and immediately fell to the ground.

This fall, Gan Ning used a bit of skill.Cao Xing was thrown until his whole body seemed to be scattered, and he lay on the ground with a blank mind.When he came back to his senses, more than a dozen soldiers had already rushed forward, with their swords shining on Cao Xing's neck.

"A certain family of Gan Ning is here, and your general has been captured. If you don't give up your weapons and surrender immediately, let alone when."

Gan Ning slashed his sword and immediately shouted at the gate of the city.

At the same time, hundreds of soldiers rushed out from the top of Xiaxiang city, each holding a strong bow and crossbow, aiming at the Xiapi soldiers below the city.

The Xiapi soldiers first retreated in a hurry, and then rushed for another day. They were already tired and listless.

There was another burst of rain and a gust of wind under the city, and each of them couldn't even hold their weapons steadily.In the blink of an eye, his coach has become a prisoner of others, and Xiaxiang City has been occupied by the other party.Quyang's onslaught for two days was fruitless, which caused Xiapi soldiers to have an inexplicable sense of fear towards Haixi soldiers and horses.Many factors were mixed up. When the archers from Shanghai West at the top of the city appeared, the Xiapi army was terrified.

"Stop shooting arrows, I'll surrender!"

Some Xiapi soldiers couldn't hold on anymore, threw their weapons on the ground, knelt down beside them, and held their heads in their hands.

"Abandon your weapons and don't kill!"

There was a loud shout from the Xiangxiang Tower.

As a result, more and more Xiapi soldiers dropped their weapons and sat obediently in the muddy water without moving.

Cao Xing was pinned to the ground by several strong soldiers, raised his head and looked outside the city, and couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.

"Let Cao Youxue come and see me!"

he suddenly shouted.

Gan Ning turned his horse's head, came to Cao Xing, sneered and said, "Want to see my son? Be honest first."

After all, he waved his hand, and a soldier stepped forward and punched Cao Xing on the back of the head, knocking Cao Xing unconscious.

"Take him down and watch him for me."

"Here!"

After Gan Ning finished speaking, he directed his men to settle the prisoners.

He didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, a total of more than 260 people.60 people were drawn out to guard the pawns, and at the same time they were sent steaming porridge.It's not easy to dismiss this group of soldiers.They are superior in number, and after another fight, they can be regarded as a group of old birds.So don't be too oppressive, give them some hot porridge, and then put them in the school grounds, arrange dry tents so that they can rest honestly... As long as they remain stable before dawn, Gan Ning will complete the task.

When the time comes, Gan Ning will lead his people to evacuate the prime minister, and these soldiers...

It was no longer something Gan Ning needed to consider.

In fact, Gan Ning did not expect that the Xiapi army would come back so soon.When he got the news that the Xiapi army was retreating to the prime minister, Gan Ning even wanted to abandon the city immediately.After all, there are more than 200 people and more than 5000 people, the gap is really too big!
It was bad because of the scouts sent by Cao Xing.

Only then did Gan Ning know that it turned out that Chen Deng sent troops to cross the Huai River, so he ordered the Xiapi army to withdraw from Quyang.

If that's the case, you're welcome...

Gan Ning was also bold and skilled, after thinking for a while, he came to the conclusion that these Xiapi soldiers had little fighting power, so he decided to stay in Xiapi to find out the truth.It's just that I didn't expect that Cao Xing was captured, so that Gan Ning won the victory without bloodshed.

"Immediately order people to rush back to Quyang, and ask the young master to make a decision."

Gan Ning immediately made up his mind and dispatched scouts to report in the direction of Quyang.

At the same time, he ordered people to appease the people in the city. After the situation was stabilized, he returned to the prime minister's mansion and ordered people to bring Cao Xing up.

There are some things that he has to ask clearly.

Cao Xing had woken up at this time, was tied up with ropes, and brought to the Yamen Hall.

"The defeated general, why doesn't he kneel when he sees a certain family?"

Gan Ning sat high in the hall, staring at Cao Xing with tiger eyes, and asked sharply.

Cao Xing raised his head and said with a sneer: "A mere young general, but relying on a sneak attack to win, what kind of hero is he? Cao is a dignified man, how can he kneel down to a villain like you?"

"Win by sneak attack?"

Gan Ning said: "You and others are just people who show off their might by relying on their numbers.

With [-] troops, they can't conquer the small town of Quyang with more than [-] troops.Now that I've captured you, do you still have the face to call yourself a 'big man' evil? "

In a word, Cao Xing couldn't help but blush.

However, he still had a look of disdain and snorted coldly.

Gan Ning said angrily, "Cao Shulong, do you think the sword in my hand is not sharp?"

"If you want to kill, you can kill, why is there so much nonsense?"

"you……"

Gan Ning stood up in a huff, and reached out to hold the sword.

He stared at Cao Xing, and Cao Xing also held his head up, looking at Gan Ning with no trace of fear on his face.

After a long time, Gan Ning suddenly smiled, "Cao Shulong, you guys are good at swordsmanship, but now you are like a lost dog. Aren't you not convinced? Well, let's wait until I kill Lu Bu and see what you have to say. Come, bring him Go down, let me take strict care of this fang, and don't slack off."

"Here!"

Some soldiers came in and dragged Cao Xing away.

While struggling, Cao Xing yelled, "Gan Ning, an unknown soldier, dares to speak wild words. In the future, my family's princes and princes will come to the city and take your dog's head."

"Gan Sima, why don't you kill this man?"

A small school couldn't help persuading.

Gan Ning shook his head, and said softly, "No matter what this Cao Xing says, he has some friendship with the Young Master. Whether to kill or keep, the Young Master will decide."

"When will the son arrive?"

"Thinking about it, it should be soon..."

Gan Ning couldn't help hesitating.

He wanted to evacuate the lower face immediately, but he vaguely felt that it was of great significance to control the lower face in his hands.It's just that he doesn't know if he can keep his face.Judging from the current situation, Chen Deng has crossed the Huai River, and sooner or later he will fight Xiapi.

I don't know when Chen Yuanlong's troops will arrive?
Whether or not to keep the face has become a very tangled issue in Gan Ning's mind.

He wanted to defend, but he was afraid of disturbing the lower pi.If Lu Bu led the troops over, the people in his hands would really not be able to keep them.

Forget it, let's take a look.

If the son can arrive before dawn, then I will continue to stick to it.

If the young master can't arrive, and there are signs of soldiers and horses being mobilized in Xiapi, I will evacuate immediately.

In short, at this time, you must not be quick for a while.But even if I leave, I still have to teach Lu Bu a little lesson.

"Go, take out the tung oil in the treasury. Once we evacuate, we will set fire to Xiangcheng."

If Lao Tzu can't get the prime minister, you, Lu Bu, can't even think about getting the prime minister again!

After Gan Ning made up his mind, he ordered his scouts to closely monitor the situation in Xiapi.At the same time, he was nervously preparing for the next photo so that he could evacuate at any time.It was really thanks to Deng Zhi's idea that he was able to win the photoshoot this time.As expected, the prime minister was empty of troops, and Cao Xing almost came out in full force.After Gan Ning led his troops to arrive at Xiaxiang, he pretended to be Xiapi soldiers and horses, directly deceived Xiaxiang Zhou Kui, and then beheaded him.

After killing Zhou Kui, Xiangxiang lost his head.

A group of servants and miscellaneous soldiers, how can they be Gan Ning's opponents, they hardly made any resistance, and obediently surrendered.

It can be said that Gan Ning won Xiaxiang City without any bloodshed.But it's easy to take off the face, but hard to keep it... It depends on Cao Peng's reaction.

--------------------------

When it was about dawn, Gan Ning had already decided to abandon his position as prime minister.

Just when he was preparing a big fire to set Xiaxiang City on fire, he suddenly heard that Tan Ma came to report that Cao Peng led his troops and arrived outside the city.

How did Cao Peng come so fast?
This starts with him starting to chase.

Around evening, Chen Gong's vanguard troops arrived outside Quyang City.

And the leader of the vanguard is also an acquaintance of Cao Peng: Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan and Cao Peng were old friends. After learning that Cao Peng led his men to pursue Cao Xing, Xu Xuan ordered [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to set off at the same time without even eating. Then he left Quyang.Xu Xuan personally led the cavalry army and caught up with Cao Peng about forty miles away from Quyang.After discussing with Cao Peng, both of them believed that they should continue to pursue the Xiapi army.

It doesn't necessarily cause much damage, the main thing is to put enough pressure on the Xiapi army to make it unstable.

At that time, when Chen Deng leads his troops up, he can take advantage of the opportunity to seize the prime minister.Therefore, Cao Peng handed over the three hundred soldiers and horses in his hands to Xu Xuan, took over the command of the cavalry from Xu Xuan, and led Pan Zhang, Xia Houlan, Zhou Cang, Deng Fan, and four people to pursue the Xiapi army in the rain all night.

Unexpectedly, fifty miles south of Xiaxiang, Cao Peng caught Gan Ning's messenger.

After learning that Gan Ning had conquered the prime minister, Cao Peng had an idea and immediately made a decision.

The two-day battle in Quyang greatly improved Cao Peng's vision and psychology.He vaguely grasped some elements of capturing fighter planes.Seizing Xiaxiang is equivalent to opening the southern gate to Xiapi...Xiaxiang City, you must never give up.

Therefore, Cao Peng immediately ordered someone to notify Xu Xuan, and then personally led [-] cavalry troops to rush to the prime minister.

When Gan Ning heard the news, he was immediately overjoyed... He led his people to greet Xiaxiang, and after meeting with Cao Peng, he returned to Xiaxiang's government office.

At this time, due to the arrival of Cao Peng, there were already more than a thousand soldiers and horses in Xiaxiang City.

In addition, Xu Xuan's 300 infantry will arrive later, which is enough to stabilize the situation...

"Young master, what should we do next?"

Gan Ning didn't wait for Cao Peng to sit still and take a breath, then asked eagerly.

Cao Peng smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Since we have already occupied the prime minister, then we must make Zhang Liao return to Xu County!"
