At night, the camp outside the city was silent, and a large number of soldiers in iron armor quickly walked through the wasteland with swords in hand.
"Dudu, I am full of favors to break through late at night, I am afraid that after the news of Cao Cao being besieged by our army leaked out, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu and others are concerned in their hearts, so they took advantage of the night to break through."
"Wenyuan, I know that you are worried about the 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry, and there are still as many as 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Liaodong, but most of the Wuhuan people have migrated to Youbeiping and Liaoxi counties, so there should be no accidents."
Lu Xun was a little hesitant in his words, he was worried about the situation in Liangxiang, where there was only Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The other departments are too far away, and if there is any mistake, I am afraid that some of them will be beyond the reach of the whip.
"After the time, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses in this big camp will escape, so the governor ordered, and we will lead the army to pursue and contain the Cao army to the south."
Lu Xun shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, let them go south, the ferry boat has been scuttled by our army, the river surface of the big river in the south is several zhang wide, and the river is turbulent, if you want to cross the river, the brigade Cao Wei is afraid that he can only build a pontoon bridge, Wen Yuan, you and Lu Rui each lead an army out of the city to pursue, but they can fight separately, but send more sentry horses." ” "Whoa."
Zhang Liao led the army out of the city quickly, and soon Lu Xun saw the two cavalry marching away with torches.
"The governor is worried," At this time, a figure shrouded in darkness suddenly said to Lu Xun.
"The command of the Dun is the old Wuhuan department, which is mixed with a lot of Lou Ban's troops, although the Lou Ban is dead, but the 30,000 Wuhuan iron cavalry is only sixty or seventy people sent by our army, I ordered the Dun to come from the right Beiping ten days ago, should have arrived yesterday, if not, last night's battle, our army should be able to win a big victory. will not be favored by him, and he will take advantage of the flaws in our army's rear camp to preserve his remaining strength. ” "Captain Mo, there is a secret report from Wu Wei under your command" "Among the Wuhuan cavalry, there are only seven Wu Wei, most of whom were mixed in the border in the early years, married to the strong women of the Wuhuan tribe, although they are loyal, but the 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry, most of them are gathered in one place during the march, I am afraid that it is not good to smuggle the secret report."
Lu Xun walked back and forth in the city for two steps, "When was the last secret letter delivered here?"
"A day ago, the battle report was delivered to the camp half an hour in advance."
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, "The battle report of Liaodong Xianbei was submitted to the camp three days ago." ” Mo Xiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a little doubt arose in his heart, "Exactly." ” "Ordered Ling Tong, who was guarding the fortress of the Yuyang Great Wall, to send additional sentry cavalry to the outside of the fortress, and he must find out the movements of the Xianbei tribes."
"Whoa."
"Then send orders to the counties of Liaodong, order the local county lieutenants, and watch over the families of Wuhuan Tuqi on the spot."
Mo Xiu's face changed slightly, "Dudu, I'm afraid that this move is inappropriate, if he doesn't have any different intentions, we will take the Wuhuan Tuqi family hostage in advance, I'm afraid it will force this person to rebel." ” "I'm afraid that at this moment, he has already gained the benefits of Cao Mengde, and he has already raised the flag and fallen to Cao Cao."
Lu Xun sneered, stretched out his hand and pointed at the outside of the city and said angrily.
Mo Xiu's face was solemn, and he saw Lu Xun raise his feet and walk towards the city wall, "Captain Mo, you take Wu Wei in the city and follow me out of the city." ” "What Does the Governor Want?"
"A mountain col ten miles away, where most of the Wuhuan Tu cavalry settled, and now before the arrival of the son, you and I led more than ten horsemen to the north, and entered the camp to see him ruined."
Mo Xiu's pupils shrank slightly, "Don't risk your life, you are a group of more than 100,000 troops, if Ru Dan makes a mistake, my Liaodong army is afraid that it will be difficult to escape." ” Lu Xun waved his hand, "Today, before dawn, the lord has already flown the pigeon to pass the book, and ordered the governor to lead the elite of the Xiao cavalry battalion to the north by boat to help, calculate the time, I am afraid that it will be able to reach the east coast of Jixian County in three days, and at that time, someone will naturally take over the whole army."
Going here is just asking for peace of mind. ” "By the way, don't forget to bring Cao Chun's riding gun."
Mo Xiu bit his lower lip lightly, and followed Lu Xun down the city wall road.
As soon as the group was about to turn over and get on their horses, they saw dozens of horses rushing from the city, and the first general was Ding Feng.
"What does the governor want?"
"Go out of the city to command and dispatch troops and horses."
Lu Xun replied expressionlessly.
"There are only the cavalry of Zhang Liao and Lu Rui outside the city, and the governor is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with their horses when he goes out of the city at this moment, not to mention that the governor is an elegant scribe, who can travel long distances, march on horseback, and the soldiers and horses outside are chaotic, the governor is still in the city to command and dispatch, if you want to go out of the city to attack the fortification, hand it over to the last general."
Ding Feng replied loudly.
"Ding Chengyuan, if you do something, you don't need to stop you."
Lu Xun glared at Ding Feng coldly and shouted angrily.
Ding Feng looked at Lu Xun with a grim face, "Please also ask the governor to respect himself, you are comforted by Liaodong, and you are entrusted by King Wu, so how can you leave your post without permission." ” Lu Xun trembled with anger, "Ding Feng, you don't want to stop me, since you can come from inside the city, I'm afraid that I will also think of the situation outside the city, if I don't go out of the city tonight, after dawn, my army is afraid that it can only be trapped in this Jixian County." ” Ding Feng stared at Lu Xun without blinking, "Governor, you are the governor of Liaodong, and you are also the marshal of the Northern Route Army, holding the Xuanwu Marshal Seal, so you can only stay in the command and dispatch of the Chinese army."
A certain Ding Feng is a general, and he should charge into battle, and the barbarian camp will be sent by Ding Feng on behalf of the governor. ” "Ru Ding is no more than a general in the Youzhou battalion, if you go on horseback, even if there are thousands of troops and horses beside you, you will be captured and killed on the spot.
And a certain Lu Xun is different, I have the Liaodong Shuai Seal in my hand, and he doesn't dare to kill me.
As he spoke, Lu Xun had already turned over and raised his big hand, "Open the city gate." ” Seeing the city gate open, Lu Xun turned his back to Ding Feng and said: "After going here, the war in Liaodong will be entrusted to the deputy marshal General Zhang Liao, General Zhang Liao will fight outside the city, and the affairs in the city will be temporarily managed by Ru Ding Chengyuan." ” With that, he slammed his legs into the horse's belly, "Drive." ” He took more than a dozen horsemen behind Mo Xiu and ran out of the city gate, and in the vast night, they didn't even light the torches, so they took advantage of the night to disguise themselves as a group of rangers and go north.
And it wasn't until Lu Xun passed by the fire at the city gate that Ding Feng found that the armor on his body was covered with a layer of scout's leather armor.
"General."
Not long after, Ma Yan arrived with a large group of foot soldiers, he glanced at the city gate that had been closed suspiciously, and looked at Ding Feng with a little inquiry in his eyes.
Ding Feng shook his head slightly, "Continue to defend the city, send orders to all departments in the city, if General Wu will order, those who leave the city without authorization will be beheaded." ” "Whoa."
Ma Yan opened his mouth, even if he had thousands of questions hidden in his heart, he didn't dare to talk again at this moment.
Outside the city, after running out of a mile or two, Wu Wei under Mo Xiu had already relied on the Zhuge crossbow to put down several teams of Cao Jun's horses, Lu Xun galloped in the cold wind, he did not have a cloak, and the strong wind that came from the gap in the armor at this moment also blew his face a little ruddy.
"Captain Modu, after entering the camp, you can act according to the plan."
Mo Xiu remembered Lu Xun's previous explanation to himself, sighed in his heart, and bowed his hand in the strong wind, "Huh." ”:
