Yangwu and Yuanwu fell on both sides of the road that Cao Cao's army must pass through, and Chen Gong defended the two places, which was like setting up a gate and blocking Cao Cao's road.

However, it is still unknown whether this gate can withstand Cao Cao's army, you know, Cao Cao can claim to be an army of 500,000, although it is false, but half of them are at least.

And the soldiers and horses that Chen Gong can command are nearly 100,000, maybe less than 100,000, the gap between the two sides is half, and the mobility is not as good as Cao's army.

The army that came from Xiliang, most of them were cavalry, and when they were impacted, the momentum was very impressive, and Guandu was lost, if it wasn't for Chen Gong's proper command, I am afraid that he would be chased and killed by the Xiliang army all the way.

In order to avoid being besieged by Cao Cao's army, Chen Gong and Guo Jia discussed, and one of them led the army to garrison one place, and left a code for help, which only the two of them knew.

Yangwu is garrisoned by Guo Jia, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so there are not many soldiers and horses, and there are not many generals, it seems to be a relatively easy place to attack, but with the wisdom of Chen Gong and Guo Jia, it should not be as simple as it seems.

The original Wu Li Jun Dazhai stretched for more than ten miles, and everyone gathered at this time, and the superior Chen Gongzheng announced that Li Huiyi was about to arrive.

This news is not a good thing for everyone who has just been defeated.

Chen Gong has been in politics for many years, and has developed a self-explanatory appearance, and at this time, the announcement was completed, and they were swept away to everyone in the tent one by one.

Looking around, Chen Gong opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, the great general is coming, if the battle situation is deteriorating, we will all be speechless, I hope you will cheer up and defend the last important road of Yuanwu." ”

Hearing this, dozens of generals in the tent got up and clasped their fists and shouted in unison. "Lord Chen, don't worry, we will coexist with Yuan Wu, and we will never take half a step back."

"Okay, sit down." Chen Gong waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and said: "Cao Cao personally, the Xiliang army is brave and fierce, Ma Chao has injured several generals, and Gong is very relieved to have this determination." ”

"But if you lose, you will be defeated, and now the only way to do it is to defend it, so that you can arrange the division of the village, but it can be done?"

Zhang Yan and the others stood up and said: "Back to Lord Chen, we have already set up more than ten villages, and according to the explanation, the coexistence of fiction and reality, we will definitely be able to delay for a while." ”

This matter was handled by the Shenwu Army, and Zhang Yan, as the leader, naturally answered by him.

"Hmm." Chen Gong nodded and said: "Okay, but this method can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, Gong wants to send a cadre to lead the army to break away from most of the army and enter Cao Cao's rule, looking for opportunities to destroy, and sneak attack its grain route." ”

Penetrating deep into the hinterland of the enemy army is very dangerous, as long as one is not careful, it is a dead end, and it is difficult for ordinary people to do it.

However, in the tent, there are two people who have a lot of experience in this, and they saw Zhang Yan and Zang Ba rushing to answer at the same time.

"I didn't want to take over this position."

"I didn't want to take over this position."

Seeing that both of them were willing to go, Chen Gong was also satisfied, and said to the two: "Okay, then you two lead the headquarters and set off now." ”

"Remember to discuss things a lot, remember not to be arbitrary, things that you are not sure of, try not to act, otherwise there will be no one to rescue you."

Zhang Yan hugged his fists and said: "Lord Chen, rest assured, this is Yan's previous work, and he will never be surrounded." ”

Over the years, Zhang Yan's official position has become bigger and bigger, but there is not much credit, which makes him a little deserved.

In this new war, Zhang Yan just led the army all the way to triumph, but later Cao Cao gathered a large army to counterattack, and all the original occupation was lost, and he was beaten back to his original place, which made him difficult to accept.

You must know that Zhang Yan is advancing so quickly in order to make meritorious contributions, so that he will no longer feel guilty in the face of Li Huiyi.

At present, Chen Gong is going to send someone to lurk under Cao Cao's rule, Zhang Yan just took the opportunity to leave, and he can also avoid Li Huiyi temporarily, and when he comes back, he will also have credit, and he will not feel so guilty.

And Zang Ba led the army for the first time since he surrendered, so he naturally wanted to make some contributions, otherwise he would be a demoted general, and it would be very difficult for him to get ahead under the talented Li Huiyi.

At present, he must seize this opportunity, and make some merits to win Li Huiyi's attention, no matter how dangerous it is.

Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Zang Ba also immediately said: "Lord Chen, don't worry, the land of Yanzhou, Ba is still somewhat familiar, and he will definitely be able to complete the task." ”

Seeing that the two of them were full of confidence, Chen Gong didn't say anything more, and waved them away.

After arranging the two of them, Chen Gong first glanced at Tai Shici, then turned to the side and Huang Zhong said: "General Huang, Ma Chao's bravery, only you can resist, and I have to bother you to lead the headquarters and garrison the southwest corner of Dazhai to support the two at any time." ”

Huang Zhong hugged his fists and said: "Lord Chen, don't worry, with my Huang stationed there, Ma Chao led no matter how many soldiers and horses came, they all returned in vain." ”

Chen Gong smiled and said: "General Huang is really bold, that palace is helping you, and most of the shield soldiers and archers in the general are divided among you." ”

To deal with cavalry, the most effective way to strike is to intercept the momentum with a shield, and the archers can kill from a distance.

But Chen Gong was kind, Huang Zhong didn't seem to want to take it, I saw him laugh and said: "Lord Chen's kindness, Huang has a heart, no matter how many people he comes, Huang has one to kill one, two to kill two, and will never let one go." ”

Chen Gong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, although Huang Zhong was brave, but Ma Chao was powerful, one carelessness might lead to a big defeat, one defeat, one defeat everywhere, Chen Gong would not let him.

Chen Gong put away his smile and said slowly: "General Huang, this is a military order, you have to accept it if you don't accept it, this battle is very important, and there is no room for sloppiness." ”

Seeing Chen Gong's expression, Huang Zhong replied with a slight displeasure: "Okay, since it is a military order, Huang accepts it." ”

Huang Zhong's personality is upright and a little conceited, so he was not reused in Jingzhou at the beginning, but he really doesn't hold grudges, even if he doesn't like it, he will forget it after a while.

Seeing that Huang Zhong agreed, Chen Gong said: "Okay, then there is General Lao Huang, go and arrange it immediately." ”

"Yes." Huang Zhong stood up and saluted with his fists, and led the left and right generals to leave.

Seeing that it had been arranged, Chen Gong opened his mouth and said: "Today is the end of the day, after the generals go back, each will perform his duties, if someone makes a mistake at this time, he will be re-ruled according to the law, and you can understand." ”

When all the people in the tent heard this, they stood up. "Yes, we will keep in mind Lord Chen's explanation, and we will never make a mistake."

Chen Gong waved away everyone, closed his eyes and gently kneaded his temples, looking very tired.

Who is Cao Cao, no matter what history records or the current evaluation of him by the world, he is biased towards the good, but you can imagine his ability.

And there are a lot of capable people under Cao Cao's command, and it is not easy to deal with Chen Gong and Guo Jia.
