Taishan County's Taishou Yangfu did not stick to the high level of governance, but ran to Pingyang to defend it, which made Li Keyong a little unexpected.
Under the light of the autumn sun, Li Ke used his horse to raise his whip and led Shi Jingsi, Cao Di, Li Jin and others to the city to spy on intelligence, only to see that the Pingyang city wall was about five zhang high, with a radius of about 20 miles.
"Hey, a Taishan county has gathered so many troops" Li Ke frowned and gasped, seeing that there were at least four or five thousand defenders on the city wall dressed in armor, about three thousand dressed as rangers, and seven or eight thousand strong people, all holding scythes, hoes and other farm tools, with expressions of looking at death as if they were at home.
Since ancient times, the besiegers "surrounded it three times, attacked it five times, and pulled it out ten times", the Tang army and the Wei army under Pingyang City combined were less than 50,000 people, and in the face of more than 15,000 soldiers and civilians on the city wall, it would normally take at least ten days to break the city.
Of course, if there are invincible fierce generals like Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao in the army to help, it will be a different matter.
If Li Yuanba is here, carrying a pair of drums and urns and golden hammers to smash open the city gate, the army will rush in, I am afraid that it will take Pingyang in half a day.
If there is no military general who competes head-on, Li Yuanba, who has the best ability to clean up soldiers, is a nuclear weapon in the era of hot weapons, a cheater in the game, but unfortunately at this moment this nuclear weapon has been indulged in the gentle township, and was abducted back to Datang by the eldest grandson Wuji.
Cao Di, who was next to him, rode forward and explained: "This Yang clan is one of the few famous families in Qingzhou, and the father of Taishou Yang, Yang Xu, is well-known in the sea, and Yang Xu's two fathers-in-law are the world-famous bachelors Kong Rong and Cai Yong, who have strong appeal, so they have recruited many rangers and people to help. ” Shi Jingsi snorted coldly: "It's just some rabble, except for the county soldiers, they are idle country gangsters, and the so-called rangers are just putting gold on their faces."
As for those croppers who are still covered with mud on their trouser legs, what combat ability do they have to see me lead my white-robed men to take the lead tomorrow morning and break the enemy in one fell swoop."
Li Ke stroked his beard and said: "Jingsi is certainly courageous, but I see that the defenders on the city wall are orderly and the people are full of energy.
"Yang Xu's father, Yang Xu, once experienced the Taishou of Lujiang and Nanyang, and participated in the pacification of the Yellow Turban Rebellion; Yang Yu's grandfather Yang Ru used to be an official to worship the lieutenant of the school, Guang Luxun, and Yang Wei's brother Yang Secretary once worshiped Jing Zhaoyin and was a general, so this Yang Yu can also be called the queen of the gate, and it is reasonable to know a little about the art of war.
As a local, Cao Di was very enthusiastic to explain the glorious history of the Taishan Goat to Li Keyong.
Li Keyong sneered: "In this way, this Yang clan is indeed a famous family, no wonder Your Majesty asked to capture this person by name."
However, this sheep only knows one and does not know the other, and he ran to guard a county seat without guarding the county office, I avoided the truth and gave up Pingyang to attack Taishan County, and see how he responded."
Cao Di explained: "General Li, Pingyang is the ancestral home of Yang, and the Yang's family is in Pingyang County, so this Yangjun gave up Fenggao to defend Pingyang. ” "I see," Li Ke stroked his beard with his hand and said with his chin, "It's okay, Pingyang is very important to Yang, but for me Datang, it is just a county seat."
The general's primary goal is to take Taishan County, and then march to Jinan, and Li Jidu to attack Weiqing in the north and south.
Li Jin, who was beside Cao Di, stroked his goatee with his hand and let out a malicious laugh: "I heard that Yang Zhenji's wife Cai Zhenji has an outstanding temperament, excellent appearance, and profound knowledge is not under his sister, if he can break through Pingyang, hehe will also fulfill his long-cherished wish."
"Haha, they all say that you Han people are good wives, and it seems that this is really the case today" Li Keyong laughed loudly after listening to Li Jin's words.
Li Jin laughed and said: "Zi Fei Yu An Zhi Yu Joy General Li does not look for advantages in his wife, and he knows the pleasure of a wife."
Shi Jingsi let out a disdainful sneer when he heard this: "This is the person who claimed to have defeated Lu Bu, I originally thought he was a hero, but I didn't expect it to be such a lustful and filthy villain."
Li Jin was furious when he heard this, and with a Xuanlu gun in his hand, he said loudly: "Confucius has also said that sex is also eaten, my fair lady and gentleman are good, then Cai Zhenji is a celebrity in Qingzhou, why can't I admire her, what are you and what are you, and you are worthy of making fun of me."
"I'm nothing, at least I know how to be polite and honest, and I won't do anything that the enemy is thinking about at the moment."
Shi Jingsi also clenched the white jade phoenix halberd in his hand and sneered at Li Jin.
Li Jin was even more angry: "Come on, come on, what kind of hero can you be considered a hero, you and I will see a real chapter under our hands" The phoenix halberd in Shi Jingsi's hand danced with a cold light, and his face was disdainful: "If you can support ten rounds under my hands, then you are a hero, and I, Shi Jingsi, apologize to you."
Although the Han army on the city wall couldn't hear what these enemies were saying, they seemed to have a conflict when they saw the situation, and the two generals were tense and looked at each other, as if they were about to fight at any time, and they couldn't help laughing and coaxing: "Fight, fight, see which turtle son admits first" Cao Di hurriedly rode his horse forward to stop: "The two generals are angry, the enemy is at present, An Neng has an internal strife to let the enemy watch the excitement, if the two are energetic and have nowhere to vent, then try to see who kills more Han troops."
Li Jin said angrily: "I am not ashamed to fight side by side with this kind of self-righteous guy, please give me a group of soldiers and horses to attack Fenggao, and vow to break the city within three days, so that you Tang people can see the ability of the general of Wei." ” Li Jin's words reminded Li Keyong, and he took over the conversation and said: "General Li is so courageous, you see how you and General Cao Di led the men and horses of the headquarters to attack Fenggao, and I and Shi Jingsi attacked Pingyang, and the one who broke the city first won."
If you win, let General Shi Jingsi apologize to you, and give it to General Li after breaking through Pingyang and capturing Cai Zhenji alive, so that you can taste what you want."
"A word is a certainty" Li Jin didn't wait for Cao Di to speak, so he agreed, and rode his horse back to the headquarters camp, and set up troops and horses to kill Bentaishan County Governor's Office.
Cao Di also wanted to hide from Li Ke a little farther, so as not to have anything to do with the slaughter of the city, and he did not stop him at the moment, and led his troops to kill Mount Tai with Li Jin.
It was only one hundred and forty miles from Pingyang County to Taishan County, and Cao Jun arrived outside Fenggao City in the evening of the next day.
After the scouts spied in advance, they learned that there were still 3,000 defenders in the city, and more than 4,000 strong people to help defend the city, and the strength was indeed not as strong as Pingyang County.
Cao Di instructed all the soldiers to camp outside the city, rest for the night, recuperate, cook at five watches tomorrow morning, and attack the city with all their strength after eating and drinking, and strive to take Taishan County in one go.
Anyway, at present, a tacit understanding has been reached between Tang and Wei, and whoever captures the territory is even whose territory, and it can be regarded as a great achievement to be able to take the governance of Taishan County.
The next day, just after dawn, 20,000 Wei troops stepped on the weeds stained with dewdrops, with shields on their heads, big swords, carrying ladders, pushing the city carts and ladders, shouting and roaring, sweeping towards the city of Mount Tai.
"Kill" The battle soon began, Cao Di personally beat the drum to help the battle, Li Jin took the lead in the charge.
Due to the limited number of defenders on the head of the city, and half of them did not have bows and crossbows, and the people could only rely on rolling stones and wooden to block the attack of the Wei army, they were soon crossed by the Wei army, set up a cloud ladder on the city wall, and launched a strong attack by the first dead soldier carrying a shield.
After an hour of fierce fighting, the Wei army took more than a thousand lives, and saw that the first dead soldiers were about to climb the city wall under the leadership of Li Jin, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves in the north was loud, the dust was flying, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was getting closer and closer.
There was no need for Cao Di to send someone to spy on it, and there was a scout Kuaima who sent information: "General Qiyu, a Han army of about 20,000 or 30,000 people was found in the north, and the word Ran was written on the banner at the head."
"Hey, it's really unlucky, I was about to take Taishan County, but I was rushed by the reinforcements of the Han army, and my previous efforts were wasted."
Cao Di sighed and shook his head, "There are not many people with the surname Ran in the world, and nine times out of ten it is Ran Min who descended to Han as a traitor."
This person is brave and good at fighting, and only Jia Fu and Jing Bu can compete with me in Dawei, so I can't compete with them, and I quickly withdraw my troops."
Seeing that he was about to climb the city wall of Mount Tai, he suddenly heard the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops behind him, Li Jin rode his horse with an unwilling face and asked Cao Di: "Seeing that Taishan County is about to be broken, why did General Cao Mingjin withdraw his troops?"
Cao Di said: "The dust is rising in the north, and the reinforcements of the Han army have arrived, and besides, it is under the command of Ran Min, so it is absolutely impossible to compete with it, and retreat quickly."
Li Jin poked the ground with a spear, and said indignantly: "Even if Li Cunxiao and Wen Chengdu are here, there is no need to be afraid, not to mention that a mere Ran Min does not have to withdraw from the army, since Ran Min sent someone's head to the door, I will go and cut it to His Majesty, and let the world know my Li Jin's name."
At that time, Ran Min was in the north, and with a group of Black Mountain troops, he could still confront Cao Cao for several years, and in the end, Cao Cao personally led the army to conquer Ran Min before he exterminated Ran Min, and the power of the four spirit generals and Cao Ning failed to keep Ran Min, but let Cao Ning die under Ran Min's double-edged spear, so the civil and military forces of Wei had an instinctive fear of Ran Min, and Cao Di was no exception, and tried his best to persuade Li Jin to retreat.

"General Li, Ran Min has been on the battlefield for a long time, brave and good at fighting, and he can't win unless His Majesty personally asks for it.
What's more, now leading the elite of the Han army, with Xu Sheng and Wei Wuji assisting, it is not for you and me to compete, it is better to retreat quickly."
But Li Jin, who had only joined Cao Wei for two years, looked disdainful of Ran Min and said disapprovingly: "General Cao will retreat if he wants to retreat, and I will lead my headquarters to meet the battle."
Li Jin's voice did not fall, and he personally led the people of his headquarters to the north to meet Ran Min.
Cao Di was afraid that Li Jin would lose, so he could only lead the people of his headquarters to follow him and act at the opportunity. t1706231537:
