Chapter 140 (1/2)

Outside Huaiyin, Xuzhou, in a valley, a cavalry is quietly approaching. The leader is a general in silver armour, Zhao Yun.

At this time, Zhao Yun has already led the way to the mouth of the valley. Not far from the mouth of the valley is Huaiyin City. Zhao Yun's eyes are firmly fixed on the city on the horizon in front of him, instead of flashing light.

According to the servant of MI Zhen who came with the army, the general of the city is Cao Chun, the younger brother of Cao Ren, Cao Cao's senior general. There are more than 3000 garrisons in the city. Zhao Yun, as the vanguard of attacking Xuzhou this time, is not difficult to win Huaiyin City, but the difficulty lies in taking Huaiyin City quickly. Xia Houdun of Pengcheng can not have time to ask Cao Jun of Yanzhou and Qingzhou for help.

According to MI Zhen, Cao Cao left more than 20000 troops in Xuzhou. Huaiyin City is the border with the south of Xuzhou, so there are 3000 garrisons. Besides Pengcheng, Xiaopei and xiapi, the other cities are only a few hundred. Xiaopei and xiapi have 5000 troops respectively, while Pengcheng has more than 7000 troops. However, Pengcheng has not only Cao Cao's garrison, but also more than 3000 soldiers of the Chen family. The Chen family's master Chen Yi and his son Chen Deng were the masterminds of the rebellion against Tao Qian a year ago, and they would certainly help Cao's garrison the city.

However, it is obvious that the news that Chen Ren led the new army into Xuzhou has not been known by Cao Jun, and the gate of Huaiyin City is still open as usual. Zhao Yun inspected the distance. If he was rushing with all his strength, he still had no chance to get to the gate before the other party closed the gate.

If you can't win by force, you have to take by wisdom. Zhao Yun looked at the people who came into the city sparsely in front of him. His eyes turned and he immediately whispered, ”where is Duan Yu?”

After a while, a general ran out of the cavalry behind him, clasped his fist at Zhao Yun, and said, ”the end will be in!” Duan Yu, however, was a general sent by Sun Jian to the new army before. After passing the examination of Dong attack, he was assigned to Zhao Yun's Thunderstorm riding by Chen Ren and became a team leader with 50 cavalry under him.

Zhao Yun said to Duan Yu, ”take off all your armor weapons with your men, wrap them up with parcels, put them on the horse's back, put on the clothes of ordinary people, and go to the gate to pretend to be a caravan!”

As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Duan Yu immediately called his men to do what Zhao Yun said. After staying in the new army for less than a month, Duan Yu knew that the most important military rule of the new army was to obey orders.

Zhao Yun nodded and continued: ”very good! When you get to the gate of the city, do it immediately! In any case, we must guard the gate before we arrive. Can you do that? ” When Zhao Yun asks for the last word, he stares at Duan Yu tightly. As long as he has the slightest hesitation, Zhao Yun will immediately change to another group of people.

However, Duan Yu was originally selected by Sun Jian to join the new army, and he was also a few officials who had passed the examination of Dong attack. Naturally, his ability and courage were no worse. He immediately clasped his fist and said, ”please rest assured that your humble position will complete the task.”

Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction, and after Duan Yu took people to prepare, he asked him to take more than 50 people who had been dressed up as caravans to set out in front of Huaiyin City. Moreover, he ordered the remaining thunderstorm riders to be ready at any time. As soon as Duan Yu arrived at the gate of the city, he would begin to attack.

Duan Yu, who was entrusted with an important task for the first time, behaved well without being too nervous. With 50 of his subordinates, he moved towards the target city of Huaiyin. As the target city became closer and closer, Duan Yu became more and more relaxed. Looking up, I can see that there are not many ordinary people outside Huaiyin City. There are about 20 garrisons at the gate of the city, and there are more than 10 guards on the head of the city. However, it is said that Cao Cao's army is also one of the few elite troops in the world. Presumably, as long as there is a change in the gate, the 3000 garrisons stationed in the city will arrive in a time of incense.

Duan Yu again estimated the distance between Zhao Yun and the city gate. Half a column of incense was enough. The most important thing is to ensure that the gate is not closed. Duan Yu clenched his fist tightly. This is his first battle in the new army. He must fight well!

Although Duan Yu slowed down his speed, he still arrived at the gate of the city. As soon as the guard saw the group of fifty people, he immediately said, ”stop! What a man However, because these people were dressed in ordinary clothes, and the number was not large, these soldiers did not care much. After all, in Xuzhou, such a caravan is not uncommon.

Duan Yu immediately put on a flattering smile, and said to the soldier, ”several military masters have worked hard. All the villains are businessmen. They want to enter the city for a night's rest.” After all, he was not familiar with Huaiyin City, so Duan Yu chose to say that he was passing by, so as not to expose himself.

”Merchant?” The soldier looked at Duan Yu with a slightly suspicious look on his face, pointed to the large and small packages on his horse's back and said, ”what's in there? Open it and have a look
