Chapter 692 : Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-One: Lu Su's Ambush
Chapter 341: A plan within a plan, Lu Su’s ambush
Just as Liu Feng was sending troops against Liu Qi and Sun Ce, Cao Ren from Wancheng in the north also raised 15,000 troops and marched south to Xinye.
Cao Ren's army is an absolutely elite army, the essence of which was concentrated after following Cao Cao's southern and northern campaigns.
Xinye County is known as a county. Of course, there are not only two cities, Xinye and Fancheng, but there are more than ten cities scattered around.[
The direction of their army almost made the counties along the way tremble with fear.
The first city in Xinye County in the north is Philadelphia.
After receiving the news, the Philadelphia Registrar immediately reported it to the Philadelphia County Magistrate.
"Sir, Cao Rennan is down, what should we do?"
"What to do? Kaicheng is of course. How can he, Lu Su, fight against Duke Cao? Besides, Lu Su didn't just fight against Duke Cao. He also fought with Liu Qi and fought with Sun Ce. It was like the longevity prince hanged himself.
, looking for death."
Faced with the report from the chief registrar, the county magistrate did not care.
This is the reason why Lu Su's foundation is shallow. He does not have much restraint on the surrounding counties. He also has no time to rectify the situation, which leads to the county magistrate having no sense of loyalty to Lu Su's power.
In addition, Lu Su was one-on-three, and even the county magistrate was not optimistic about Lu Su.
"This makes sense. Then I will send some people to take the supplies of the labor army and go to Cao Jun to express my goodwill to General Cao Ren." The chief clerk thought about it and nodded.
In this way, this blind and ignorant magistrate surrendered.
Immediately afterwards, several county magistrates that Cao Ren passed by on his way south gave up. These blind and ignorant fools did not know that Liu Feng Xiangdong had successfully stabilized Sun Ce, Xiangnan had destroyed Xiangyang, and the power of Jingchu had been reduced by half.
They didn't know what consequences this would bring to them, they had never thought about it at all.
In this way, Cao Ren's army arrived at a place ten miles north of Xinye City.
Because it was already dark, Cao Ren ordered to set up camp and wait until tomorrow to march again.
After the camp was set up, Cao Ren inspected the camp and returned to the Chinese army's tent.
"Sir, another county magistrate has sent a team of laborers." At this time, the clerk from Cao Ren's account came in and reported.
"I know, I'll arrange some manpower to go to the county seat to thank the county magistrate." Cao Ren raised his head and said with a smile.
For those county magistrates who surrendered in despair, Cao Ren gave some comfort and treated them very kindly. Because he already regarded the new fields as Cao Cao's, he naturally had to take his own sphere of influence seriously.
"Promise." The clerk promised.[
Immediately afterwards, the clerk said with a smile: "General, the information is indeed correct. Although Lu Su seems to be powerful, he has not completely won the hearts of the people in this area. His foundation is unstable. Otherwise, it would not be like this."
"Of course, Lu Su has only been rising for a long time, and his prestige is not enough at all." Cao Ren said with a smile and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ren had a few laughs and chatted with the young official. The conversation was about Lu Su's unstable foundation and other shortcomings.
After talking for a while, Cao Ren ordered: "This place is very far away from Xinye. We also have to be prepared to see if Lu Su will send troops to plunder our camp. Send the order and double the vigilance."
