Looking at Cao Liang's widened eyes, Huan Fan said with a little dissatisfaction: "What, don't you believe the old man's words?" ”

Cao Liang said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just very strange, how does Mr. have a relationship with Tian Tingshi?" ”

"This is a long story, when the old man was appointed as the governor of Qingxu, Tian Yu was the governor of Runan, the general of Yi, and led the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou to conquer Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong with his own official governor, at that time Dongwu and Gongsun Yuan colluded with each other, and sent a messenger Zhou He to Liaodong, and when he returned, he was attacked and killed by Tian Yu. Cheng Xi and Tian Yu were at odds with Tian Yu at that time, and he impeached Tian Yu for embezzling treasures and filling his pockets, Emperor Ming was furious and wanted to punish his crimes. ”

Cao Liang said suddenly: "I see, I didn't expect that Mr. also has a righteous side." ”

"When the road is uneven, pull the knife to help - hey, why does this sound so awkward, what does it mean to have a righteous side, is it possible that the old man has always been obscene and dirty?" Huan Fan questioned dissatisfiedly.

Cao Liang said with a smile: "What about that, Mr. is open-minded, outspoken, and a model for the world." "In my heart, I have long secretly said, MMP, don't you have a B number in your own heart, have you done less dirty things, Xuzhou is a subordinate, Jizhou is a boss, my wife told you the truth, so I was annoyed and angry, hit my wife's big belly, and caused his wife to have a miscarriage and die, so when Cao Liang heard that he still had friends, he was inexplicably surprised, it was really rare.

Huan Fan said: "Back to business, the old man will go to Jinyang immediately, and the matter here will be handed over to the general." ”

It's a joke, but when it's time to do business, there is no room for sloppiness, Cao Liang heard that Huan Fan was about to go to Jinyang, and he couldn't help but say with some concern: "This trip to Jinyang is full of dangers, and Mr. has to be careful." ”

It is true that from Jinyang, Daling Qi County, all the way is the sphere of influence of the Huns, and Huan Fan went alone, which made Cao Liang very worried about his safety.

Huan Fan has already planned the itinerary, and the road is naturally not daring to go, but this time to Jinyang, there is a side mountain road, which is relatively secluded, because the road is circuitous and bumpy, but he is not afraid of encountering the Huns, but Huan Fan smiled: "Since General Cao is worried about the old man, why don't you borrow Fang Bu from the old man?" ”

Cao Liang agreed without hesitation, Huan Fan is his right-hand man, and there is no room for mistakes, if he can be accompanied by Fang Bu, the most powerful bodyguard, it would be more suitable.

In the past, Fang Bu didn't stay by Cao Liang's side, but as Cao Liang's authority became more and more important, Fang Bu didn't dare to disobey him.

After arranging for Huan Fan to leave, Cao Liang was a little relieved, originally Cao Liang was not sure that he would win this decisive battle with the Huns, but if Huan Fan could really persuade Tian Yu to send troops, it would undoubtedly give Cao Liang a lot of help, and also made him very confident to fight this battle.

The selection of the battlefield was an extremely crucial factor, and after careful consideration, Cao Liang decided to meet the enemy in the east of Qi County.

Dongguan is in the north of Qi County, adjacent to Yuci Jiaoyang, is the only place to Jinyang, if Liu Meng returns to Qi County, he must go Dongguan, if the Wei army can be deployed in Dongguan in advance, it can still grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

Except for a part of the soldiers and horses (basically auxiliaries outside the establishment) who stayed in Qixian and Daling, Cao Liang transferred all the soldiers and horses of the five battalions to Dongguan and carried out detailed deployment before the war.

The battle of Dongguan is already imminent.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

And at this moment the battle of Jinyang, the fight was very stalemate, although the Huns relied on a large number of soldiers and horses, continued to launch a fierce offensive, but the city wall of Jinyang City is tall and strong, by no means as weak as Daling Qi County, plus the defenders and the people are united, sworn to fight to the death, so the Huns' attack has never succeeded.

This made Liu Meng very anxious, only by winning Jinyang, he had a chance to be promoted to Shan Yu, seeing that there were no competitors, but he couldn't take Jinyang, and he couldn't take this last step, which made Liu Meng depressed.

Although Liu Bao suffered a defeat in Lao Yeling, and even the old nest of the Huns on the left was lost, Liu Meng didn't think that the reinforcements of the Wei army, 10,000 people, could set off any more storms, and his top priority now was to take Jinyang and achieve a single position, which was the most important task, and everything else had to stand aside.

As for the reinforcements to deal with the Wei army, Liu Meng has already decided to wait until Jinyang is taken, and then send troops to the Zi clan, such a group of men and horses, dare to come to the rescue and merge the state, it is simply a big joke, as long as the Hun army turns around, it can destroy him in minutes.

Therefore, when someone reported the news of the loss of Qixian and Daling to him, Liu Meng did not react for a while, and it was not until his subordinates confirmed the news again that Liu Meng understood, like a thunderbolt from the sky, completely stunned.

In fact, the Huns got the news of the loss of the Daling in Qi County for several days, because the Wei army's previous blockade was quite tight, so that there was no news from the Daling in Qi County.

But as Cao Liang predicted, the fact that there is no news from the Qi County side does not mean that it can be concealed forever, after all, the Jinyang side will also seek to contact the Qi County side.

The first to notice the abnormality was the quartermaster under Liu Meng, according to the original plan, today is the day when the grain and grass were transported in Qi County, but after waiting for nearly a day, the quartermaster did not see the vehicle transporting grain and grass, he felt very strange, because Qi County is not too far from Jinyang, even if there is a delay, but it will not be delayed for so long.

So the quartermaster sent someone to urge him, but the next day, not only did the grain truck not arrive, but even the people sent out were nowhere to be found, and the quartermaster realized that something was wrong and reported the situation to the general on the right.

The general on the right immediately sent someone to investigate, only to find that Qi County and Daling had been lost three days ago, and he hurriedly reported it to Liu Meng.

Qi County is the base camp of the Xiongnu on the right, for Liu Meng, it is very important, his family is small, his property, everything he has is in Qi County, if Qi County is lost, then Liu Meng's loss will be great.

Liu Meng was really red-eyed this time.

Liu Jiao also came to see Liu Meng, because of the loss of Daling, Liu Jiao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and said anxiously: "King Youxian, you can't wait any longer, hurry up and return to the army!" ”
