This book and the captain's fate, the captain will definitely repay everyone with more exciting plots, thank you.
————————
Fifty miles north of Xinye is Yan Liangjun's camp.
Yan Liang led his two thousand cavalry and occupied favorable terrain one day ahead of Cao Jun.
Defending Xinye will only lead to death. Yan Liang must defeat Cao Hong in a field battle in order to get rid of the current predicament.
In order to prevent Liu Biao from betraying the alliance, Yan Liang had to leave most of his troops in Xinye, and also left 500 cavalry as mobile troops.
Therefore, of the two thousand troops he led this time, there were only more than 500 cavalry, and the rest were all infantry.
"General, the scouts reported that Cao Hong's army has camped fifteen miles away."
Wenpin, who hurriedly entered the account, looked a little solemn.
"What is the configuration of the enemy's troops? Are there any cavalry among them?" Yan Liang asked.
Wenpin cupped his hands and said: "General, there are about three hundred cavalry in Cao's army, and the rest are infantry."
As expected, Cao Hong came prepared. He knew that he was good at using cavalry, and the army also deployed cavalry accordingly.
Five hundred versus three hundred, in terms of cavalry, I have no advantage.
Not to mention the infantry, the thousand infantry of ours were adapted from the Runan Yellow Turban Army, and their combat effectiveness was already inferior to Cao's powerful infantry, not to mention that the opponent's infantry was more than twice as many as ours.
"General, please forgive me for bluntly saying that the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. The enemy is strong and we are weak. This battle will not be easy to fight." Wenpin's tone revealed worry.
Yan Liang sneered and asked: "Why, Zhongye, are you too timid to fight?"
He is motivating Wenpin.
Wen Pin, who was still a little worried at first, was suddenly aroused and said with emotion: "Since Wen has chosen to follow the general, he should die side by side with the general. Although he has no fear of death, how can he be timid in fighting?"
Wenpin's generosity also aroused Yan Liang's passion. He said boldly: "With Zhongye's words, I, Yan Liang, feel relieved. You and I will fight side by side, so that those who look down on us can see what we are doing."
sharp."
In the big tent, high fighting spirit permeated the air.
Although Wenpin's blood was boiling, he still remained calm. He seemed to hear some hints from Yan Liang's words.
"General, listening to your tone, do you think you have a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Wenpin asked excitedly.
"To defeat the strong with the weak is nothing more than winning by surprise. Zhongye, you are familiar with the art of war, how could you not know this truth?" Yan Liang said calmly.
Yan Liang's tone was confident, and he obviously had an idea in mind.
Wenpin's confidence suddenly increased and he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I'm sorry for the general's ignorance, but I hope the general will make it clear."
"Go and invite that Man Boning over to me. Success or failure all depends on this person." Yan Liang raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.
After lighting the incense, Man Chong was brought to the tent.
Yan Liang had already thought up the strategy to defeat the enemy when he left Xinye, so he brought Man Chong, who had been under house arrest, with him.
"Bo Ning is here, sit down quickly. What are you waiting for? Why don't you pour some wine for Bon Ning?" Yan Liang expressed his enthusiasm.
Man Chong knelt down and looked suspicious on his face.
From Runan to Xinye, Yan Liang had been keeping him under house arrest, but now during the war, he took him with him as a prisoner and entertained him with wine. How could this behavior not arouse his suspicion.
After a few glasses of wine, Manchong couldn't help but said: "General Yan, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly and don't beat around the bush."
Yan Liang was startled for a moment, then laughed.
"Man Boning is indeed Man Boning. He has a sharp vision. Well, we are all straightforward people, so I will tell you clearly. It doesn't matter."
Man Chong's nerves immediately became tense, and she was thinking about what Yan Liang was trying to do again.
Yan Liang said calmly: "I must have known to Boning that I left Yuan Benchu and came to Jingzhou to form an alliance with Liu Jingsheng."
Man Chong nodded, but he was still confused in his heart as to how brave the man in front of him was to do such an unreasonable act.
"Actually, Yan didn't want to go against Mr. Cao. Otherwise, when he was in Runan, he wouldn't have intentionally let Cao Zi play a role. Boning must have been able to see this." Yan Liang continued.
Man Chong was convinced of this. If Yan Liang really wanted to deal with Cao Cao, he would have taken the opportunity to march into Xudu when Runan won.
"The battle of Guandu is at a critical moment. Cao Gong should concentrate all his forces to deal with Yuan Benchu, but now he has sent Cao Hong to attack me, a person who is not a threat to him. I think Cao Gong's move is putting the cart before the horse. Boning
What do you think?"
"Bo Ning is only a prisoner of the first rank. It seems useless for the general to say these words to me." Man Chong frowned and said.
Yan Liang smiled and poured him a glass of wine himself, "I invited Boning here today. Actually, I wanted to ask Boning to bring a message to Cao Zilian, to explain my interests to him, and to express my friendship, so that both of us can
Wouldn't everyone be happy if they stopped their troops and concentrated on dealing with their respective enemies?"
Only then did Man Chong suddenly realize that Yan Liang wanted to ask him to serve as a messenger to persuade Cao Hong to withdraw his troops.
"This is a good opportunity for me to escape. How can I miss it..."
Man Chong was overjoyed and immediately said: "The general is willing to reconcile with Prime Minister Cao, which is of course the best. Don't worry, general. I will truthfully convey the general's good intentions to General Cao Zilian."
Seeing the joyful look on Man Chong's face, Yan Liang was secretly laughing.
He also pretended to be happy and said loudly: "Then Yan, thank you Boning. Come, let's drink."
Man Chong didn't know that Yan Liang's voice suddenly raised an octave, which was the secret code agreed upon in advance.
At this time, Wenpin, who had been waiting outside the tent, heard Yan Liang's signal and immediately opened the curtain and pretended to be in a hurry to enter.
"General, Liu Biao's army is far away from Xin——"
Before he finished speaking, Yan Liang glared at him, signaling him to shut up.
Wenpin pretended to be enlightened and quickly changed his words and said with a smile: "I don't know that the general is visiting guests. In fact, there is nothing wrong. I will stay and report to the general later."
Yan Liang waved his hand, and Wenpin retreated angrily.
Man Chong looked at this ordinary paragraph, but he was suspicious of Dasheng in his heart, thinking to himself: "Yan Liang obviously interrupted Wen on purpose. From half of Wen's words, it seemed that he wanted to say something about Liu Biao's army."
We are approaching Xinye, could it be..."
Man Chong's heart was suddenly shocked, and a strange color flashed across his eyes, as if he suddenly understood something.
While Yan Liang was acting, he had been secretly observing the changes in Man Chong's expression. How could the strange color at that moment escape his eyes.
He knew that Man Chong had fallen into the trap.
"In order to show the sincerity of reconciliation to General Cao, Yan is willing to retreat fifteen miles." Yan Liang pretended not to know and continued to act.
Man Chong said hurriedly: "If the general can do this, General Cao will definitely believe in the general's sincerity."
After a few rounds of drinking, Man Chong said that it was not too late to set off as soon as possible to convey Yan Liang's message of reconciliation to Cao Hong.
Yan Liang looked eager and quickly sent Man Chong out of the camp politely.
Man Chong, who left the camp, was like a bird leaving its cage, not daring to stay for a moment, and galloped towards Cao's camp in the north.
Looking at the figure leaving the dust, a slight smile appeared on Yan Liang's lips.
"General, do you think Man Chong will fall into the trap?" Wen Pin appeared from the side.
Yan Liang sneered and said: "This Man Boning is quite resourceful. It's not easy to deceive him. This play needs to be more realistic."
Wenpin nodded slightly and asked, "What should we do now?"
Yan Liang waved his hand and said loudly: "Send my order to the general and the entire army must withdraw from camp!"
