Mo Ran stayed in Liaoxi County. He looked at the letters in his hand. These were the news from the scouts he sent out. There was no movement of Yangzhou soldiers and horses in the few main roads. The Yangzhou soldiers and horses over there Originally, he put on an aura that would not break the Liaodong situation, but now it seems that it is so quiet that it is scary. △↗,
You must know that because of the continuous advance of Yangzhou soldiers and horses, the Liaodong army adopted a defensive posture. The entire city was solidified and cleared, and even the people outside the city were driven back to the city.
One of the consequences of this is that the consumption in the city is huge. Those people need to eat. If they come in a hurry, they will not bring much food, so Mo Ran needs to feed these people. The people have relatives and houses in the city. Fortunately, you can live with your relatives. If you don’t have a house, Mo Ran can’t let them sleep on the street. It’s okay for a day or two. What if it rains? Liaodong is no better than the Jiangnan area. There is no house there and you can survive for several days. The temperature here at night can freeze people to death alive.
So Mo Zihui had to arrange a place to live for those common people, so Mo Ran was busy after going back and forth.
But even so, Mo Zihui decided to sit down, because the Yangzhou soldiers and horses over there were eyeing it like a tiger. In order to defend Liaoxi County, Mo Ran also fought hard. Although Yangzhou soldiers and horses are elite, they are not numerous, so no matter what Yangzhou soldiers are. When Ma attacked that city, he must set off with the whole army. Once his whole army came, then Mo Ran Mo Zihui would take the opportunity to take down Changi County, completely leaving Yangzhou soldiers and horses with no place to go back.
These are the strategies of Mo Ran Mo Zihui.
But now these strategies don't seem to be useful.
Because the letters sent by these scouts are superficial, and they have not seen the slightest presence of Yangzhou soldiers and horses. It can be said that several important roads are all for the scouts. Observe day and night. I didn't let go of some small roads, just because I was afraid that the Yangzhou soldiers and horses would come suddenly and catch them by surprise.
If there is movement, Mo Ran may not be so uncomfortable. This kind of calm is the most uncomfortable thing for Mo Ran.
He frowned, didn't he? What he thought was that the Yangzhou soldiers and horses might have found other trails that he didn't know he could take
"Come here!" Mo Ran asked his subordinates to search for more than a dozen people. Those who have lived here for decades, and even their ancestors have lived here for several lifetimes without leaving. They must know where there is a trail. Where can I spare the past.
As expected, those old men didn't let Mo Ran. There were indeed several trails. Although it took a little longer to walk where to go, it was really possible to avoid the eyes of those scouts under Mo Ran's hands.
"Go!" Mo Ran continued to increase the strength of the scouts, and guarded those small paths for him.
But several days passed, but there was still no movement.
Just when Mo Ran was fidgeting, a messenger came over there. Gave Mo Ran a shocking news
"Report! General, ahead, Changi. Changi has sent urgent information!" A personal guard ran over to meet Mo Ran, and was about to hand over the letter in his hand.
"Hurry up and bring it here!" Isn't Changi County the base camp where Yangzhou soldiers and horses are stationed. Mo Ran already knew the news there, and he must be taught it to him immediately.
Immediately, the guard handed over the letter in his hand, and Mo Ran tore open the letter.
Looking at it, "What!" Mo Ran stared at the letter in his hand with wide eyes, it was simply impossible.
"Is this letter really from Changi?" Mo Ran asked the guard over there sharply.
The personal guard was stunned for a moment, but he still reported, "Yes, General, the date paste on the envelope hasn't been opened yet!"
"It was only then that Mo Ran saw that it was the trace that he had just disassembled, and there were no other traces other than that.
"Pass my military order to let Yue Peng and others enter the hall to discuss matters!" Mo Ran couldn't believe this letter.
yes! The personal guards went out, and soon Yue Peng and other Mo Ran's subordinates arrived.
"What, Yangzhou soldiers and horses have withdrawn from Changi County?" Yue Peng also saw this letter, and his first reaction was that he didn't believe it, "Impossible, General, this must be a trick of Yangzhou soldiers and horses. Let's take it lightly, then turn around and catch me off guard!"
Yue Peng's words made most of the generals keep nodding. The Yangzhou soldiers and horses said something bad. It's time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, not to retreat directly.
Some time ago, Yangzhou soldiers and horses stood still, thinking that he was waiting for reinforcements.
If things are abnormal, there must be demons.
Mo Ran also agreed with Yue Peng's analysis, but the information sent from the front could not be false. Everyone is saying that it is better for them to stand still and wait for the enemy's reaction. No matter where he comes from or what tricks he has, we should remain unchanged to deal with all changes.
"General, if the general is not at ease, then send someone to Changi County to observe again in a few days!"
"En!" Mo Ran also thought so.
…
Outside Changi County. Thousands of soldiers and horses were there, marching in formation. At this time, instead of going to attack the hinterland of Liaoxi, they chose another direction and headed towards the Liaodong port over there.
"Hey!" Ling Chao was really reluctant to give up the city that was finally captured.
"Master Yang Chen, can you let us stay!" Ling Chao looked at Yang Chen's words and said, "I will definitely not let down what Master Yang Chen and my lord have entrusted!"
"Okay, General Ling Chao, there will always be a battle for you!" Yang Chen comforted him from the sidelines. The soldiers and horses under Ling Chao's men were all from the south and they didn't know how to ride horses. Now the soldiers and horses that Yang Chen needs But they had to go back to ride horses, so Ling Chao and the others were leaving after boarding the troop carrier, and there would be a soldier and horse to replace them.
It is impossible to leave Liaodong behind. The Yangzhou soldiers and horses did not bring much food and grass. When Mo Ran left in Changi County, he was burned to the ground, although many were rescued. But obviously not enough.
not to mention. It is impossible for the Sovereign Class battleship to stay here anymore.
"Are you going to leave?" On the other side, Dongfang Ming and An Yixuan took a deep look at this familiar place. They will also leave with the big army, and they will not come back after leaving this time, at least it will be impossible before the world is pacified. So both of them have a feeling.
"Let's go, let's go!" An Yixuan waved his hand and said.
"Master Yang Chen, do you think they will chase us?" Ling Chao's lieutenant asked Yang Chen.
"Don't worry, Liaodong Mo Zihui over there is very cautious, such a person will not send troops!" An Yixuan shook his head and said.
"Leave a soldier in the rear!" Retreating is no better than attacking. A lot of things need to be transported. For example, the twelve cannons with 3,000 pieces need to be escorted by a special person. The army of thousands of people will also be very long. It is very important to leave a troop in the back.
"Let's go, wait for us to come again next time!"
…
A few days passed in a flash, and Mo Ran's scouts over there still didn't move at all, as if the Yangzhou soldiers and horses didn't exist.
Mo Ran couldn't help it, "Come here!"
"What is the general's order?"
"How many horses are there in the army?" Mo Ran asked Yue Peng, the deputy general beside him.
"General, there are less than two thousand horses in our army!" Liaodong is located in the north and has pastures. But not all horses can be war horses as soon as they come up, so after Tuobahai's Liaodong cavalry was wiped out. The horses in Mo Ran's hands were much less.
"Enough!" Mo Ran nodded, "Yue Peng ordered two thousand soldiers and horses for me, and they will go to Changi County with me!"
"General, it's dangerous!" Yue Peng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "General, we don't know the movements of the Yangzhou soldiers and horses yet, so if we go rashly, we will be fooled by the Yangzhou soldiers and horses!"
"No way!" Mo Ran couldn't sit still anymore, he would go no matter whether it was dangerous or not, this Yangzhou soldier is too weird, he has been fighting for so many years, but he has been taught a lesson, that meeting The thing that makes thunder, and the super battleship that is so big.
So don't dare to wait dogmatically, how did Changi County be breached in the first place.
"But!" Yue Peng was still worried about his general.
"Don't worry, I have a horse in my hand. Even if I am ambushed, I can escape!" Mo Ran will take two thousand cavalry to go this time, without any foot combat, just in case he can leave immediately .
"General, I will go with you!" Yue Peng was worried that Mo Zihui would go with Mo Ran,
"If you go, who will be responsible for the affairs in western Liaoning!" Mo Ran asked Yue Peng who was beside him. of.
"It's all trivial things. It's enough to teach them the county magistrates and lieutenants. As for the army, they have their own generals, so we don't need to worry about it!" Yue Peng waved his hand and said.
"Okay, go quickly and explain some things, and go with me!" The city defense still needs to be explained.
"Yes!" Yue Peng went down immediately with a happy expression on his face, he had to hurry up.
"Drive!" Mo Ran brought his two thousand cavalry from the hinterland of Liaoxi County and headed towards Changi County. Because of Mo Ran's caution, they all advanced fifty miles and retreated three Ten miles, then another fifty miles, going back and forth in this way to avoid being ambushed by themselves, so although the distance was not long, they were very tired from walking.
"In front of the general is Changi County!" Yue Peng pointed to Changi County over there and said to Mo Ran beside him.
"En!" Mo Ran nodded, he naturally knew that it was Changi County, and they were driven out from there, so they were naturally familiar with it.
"General, let's go directly!" Yue Peng was also tired, most of the people couldn't bear the back and forth, and the cavalry behind Yue Peng also looked like this, all of them were exhausted.
"No!" Mo Ran shook his head, "Yue Peng, did you find a problem?"
"Question?" Yue Peng was a little confused.
"Don't you think it's too quiet here?" Changi County in the distance looks like a dead city, so quiet that it's scary.
"Huh?" Yue Peng nodded at Mo Ran's reminder, and it really seemed to be the case. "Then general?"
"Send someone to take a look!" Mo Ran said to Yue Peng.
Yue Peng nodded, and scouts were sent out soon, and they waited for half an hour. The scout over there came back with a strange expression on his face.
"Well. How about that Changi County?"
"General. The gates of Changi County are wide open!"
"The city gate is wide open? Could it be that he has an ambush?" Mo Ran thought of this, "Yue Peng immediately disperses the scouts, I want news within a hundred miles, and report it every time a stick of incense sticks!"
"General, Changi County is open, and there is no one inside!" To be precise, there is no Yangzhou soldier.
"What?" Mo Ran brought his 2,000 cavalry into Changi County. The Changi County looked depressed, and the people were hiding in their homes and dared not come out.
Mo Ran rode a horse on the official road in Changi County, "Where are the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou?"
"General, listen to those people. Those Yangzhou soldiers and horses left a few days ago!" Yue Peng came back to inquire about the news.
"Leaving?" Mo Ran was stunned for a moment. If those Yangzhou soldiers and horses had left a few days ago, then the information he got was correct, and the Yangzhou soldiers and horses had already retreated
"Impossible?" Mo Ran immediately shook his head. The enmity between the Yangzhou soldiers and his Liaodong is not light. In order to please Cao Cao, the eldest son Gongsun Kang cheated the Yangzhou army. More than 10,000 pairs of armor and weapons, back and forth In the end, it adds up to a million gold. Yangzhou is so likely to swallow this breath. That's why there was this Yangzhou army attack.
Even if Yangzhou soldiers and horses smashed Liaoxi County to pieces, it would not be worth millions of gold.
The Yangzhou soldiers and horses threatened to take Gongsun Kang's head. It is impossible for them to leave easily.
"General, maybe they were angry because they saw that we had already won. So they left?" Yue Peng said cautiously. The three famous generals in Liaodong, An Yixuan and Mo Ran Tuobahai all lost. After he died, Mo Ran was the only one left, and Mo Ran even lost Zhendong Army.
It can be said that the Liaodong Army is already making a fool of itself. Yue Peng's current guess is that the Yangzhou soldiers and horses have already expressed their anger, so they left. Coupled with Gongsundu's attitude of desperately fighting with Yangzhou, the Yangzhou army felt that it was not worth it, so they left.
"En?" Mo Ran frowned, Yue Peng's words were not unreasonable, could it be that His Royal Highness Shu Wang of Yangzhou felt angry and left? Logically, this makes sense, but Mo Ran doesn't think so in his heart.
After thinking for a long time, Mo Ran didn't come up with the slightest clue, so she could only calm down the uneasiness in her heart and take one step at a time.
"Yue Peng, go and post the notice of Anmin!" Several counties in western Liaoning, Changi, have been occupied, but they can be regarded as the best preserved, because the soldiers and horses of Yangzhou have not been ruined in the slightest, and even the soldiers and horses of Yangzhou are in the city. When they want to buy things, they also give money to the local people.
But other people who are closer to Changi County are unlucky. They were privately plundered by the Tuobahai Liaodong cavalry. Not a few of them were ruined. Even when Yangzhou soldiers and horses left, there were some Liaodong men. Want to join the Yangzhou Army to fight Gongsundu in Liaodong to avenge their family.
It was later that Tuoba Hai's head calmed down the anger of these individuals.
"General, what about the troops from the border town of Liaodong?" Yangzhou soldiers and horses left, and it stands to reason that these troops from the border town of Liaodong should go back.
But Mo Ran was suspicious, overly cautious and said to Yue Peng next to him, "Leave them and let them stay for another half a month!" Mo Ran was just in case.
Who knows where the Yangzhou army has gone, the sea is vast, and there is no radar to track it, so it's better to stay just in case, it would be bad if they shoot back.
Yue Peng went down to deliver the order, but the defenders of the Liaodong border city did not leave, but the place where they were stationed changed, and Changi County became the place where they were stationed. Everyone was on guard, and Liaodonghai was immediately blocked.
But obviously Mo Ran's actions were redundant.
Yangzhou soldiers and horses really left, at least Ling Chao's soldiers and horses really left.
"Uh, uh!" On a shoal near Youzhou in Liaodong, a large wave of people and horses suddenly came to this place where no birds shit, and warships transported things to the shoal. War horses, soldiers.
"General Zilong, are you okay!" Yang Chen looked at the white robed general in front of him with some concern.
"It's okay, it's okay! Vomit, vomit!" The white-robed warrior said that he was fine, and vomited again.
"Hehe!" Yang Chen laughed and cried a little. The white-robed general in front of him is the confidant of the lord's confidant. It can even be compared with his brother. It is none other than Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the commander-in-chief of Baima Congyi. Yang Chen didn't expect that this rare God of War character under the lord's command would actually get seasick.
Zhao Yun's injury is also healed, and Mrs. Mi is also pregnant with the Zhao family's child, so Zhao Yun began to ask Liu Mang to go to war. This time it was Liu Mang who sent him here. There are those 5,000 white horses from righteousness, and the current white horse from righteousness has been completely expanded. At the beginning, there were less than 3,000 people, and it has become the current 5,000 soldiers and horses. This is because the Yangzhou Army now has no shortage of war horses. Doing business with Liaodong Gongsundu these years is not without benefits. There are tens of thousands of large and small war horses in Yangzhou now. Zhao Yun's white horses are one man and two horses. This time, the five thousand white horses are required If it is dispatched, 10,000 war horses will need a lot of warships to transport them, and Yangzhou is almost photographing all the warships in its hands.
"General Zilong, do you want us to rest for a day before dispatching?" Yang Chen asked with concern.
"No need!" Zhao Yun waved his hand. Others under him didn't react as much as he did. After all, Baima Congyi was selected from the southerners. Although the southerners rarely go to sea, at least they have a good understanding of the sea. Water is less sensitive. In the Yangtze River, it was also tempered by some ships.
"My lord's great cause is important! My lord, Yang Chen, but I have an order. Yun will definitely complete it!" Zhao Yun said to Yang Chen.
"That's the best!" Yang Chen nodded, since Zhao Yun said so, he didn't insist on it anymore.
"General Zhao Yun, this is General Dongfang Ming, I believe General Zhao Yun has already heard about it!" Yang Chen pointed to Dongfang Ming beside him and introduced to Zhao Yun.
"General Dongfang Ming!" Zhao Yun nodded. He heard it when he was on the battleship. This Dongfang Ming was a former Liaodong general. That Gongsun Kang killed his whole family, so he joined the Yangzhou army. To avenge the family.
It's a man, Zhao Yun couldn't help but nodded,
"General Zhao Yun has admired his name for a long time!" This is the territory of Liaodong, but it is also the border of Youzhou. Whose territory was in Youzhou before, it is naturally the original White Horse General Gongsun Zan.
The White Horse Congyi in Gongsun Zan's hands really frightened the foreigners on the border.
And Zhao Yun is the commander-in-chief of Baima Congyi, so Dongfang Ming can't know it.
"General Zilong, General Dongfangming will be your deputy!" Dongfangming was familiar with the road in Liaodong.
Zhao Yun nodded, "Okay, it's getting late, let's act as soon as possible!" Over there, Baima Congyi was ready to go.
"Okay, then Yang will wait here for the news of your victory, General!" Yang Chen said to Zhao Yun.
"White Horse Congyi, let's go!" Zhao Yun nodded, and stepped onto the horse. Zhao Yun, who was vomiting on the boat just now, landed on the horse and suddenly changed.
The white horse disappeared in front of Yang Chen with five thousand soldiers and horses.
"Youzhou, Youzhou!" After Zhao Yun set foot on this land, his feelings were complicated. He thought of many things, such as his general, the White Horse General Gongsun Zan, it was from Gongsun Zan that Zhao Yun understood, what It is called Yizi Dangtou, and it was also from Gongsun Zan that he learned the cavalry commanding ability.
Youzhou, with Gongsun Zan, was a nightmare for foreigners back then, but it is a pity that General Baima finally became a piece of loess. He is suitable to be a general but not a lord.
"I'm back, General!" Zhao Yun yelled in his heart, Baima Congyi was on this piece of land back then, and now they're back, Zhao Yun wanted to yell, but he held back.
"Fight, fight, fight!" He put all the complicated feelings into the horse under his crotch, and couldn't help whipping faster and faster.
Nanpi City.
The capital of Bohai County is also a very important production base of Youzhou.
There is no need for Dongfang Ming to guide the way on the land of Youzhou. Zhao Yun is familiar with the road at all, and Nanpi City soon appeared in front of his eyes.
Cao Cao? ! This is their goal this time.
Zhao Yun stretched out his hand, and the command flag beside him was also waved, which meant to stop.
Five thousand cavalry plus ten thousand war horses, such a huge army stopped under this small Erling banner, it can be seen that the white horse is the elite of righteousness.
"Change!" Zhao Yun's voice resounded.
"Yes!" The soldiers of Baima Congyi took out their armor and jumped from one horse to another.
The flag was also slowly thrown out "Liaodong Cavalry, Zhou!" (to be continued...)
!!
