Henan Yin is important to Cao's army. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have sent Xiahou Ba with tens of thousands of troops to support Henan Yin.

The news that the Liangzhou army entered Yin's territory in Henan soon spread to Cao's army in Xingyang. At this time, Xingyang's army had reached 20,000 people, and it was no problem to fight against the enemy. Liang Mao was the counselor of the army at this time.

If the state army wants to attack Xingyang, it must pass through Chenggao. Chenggao can not only provide protection for Xingyang, but also defend the troops from Hanoi. Lu Bu occupied Hanoi County, which formed a considerable deterrent to Henan Yinke

, Fortunately, in these years, Lu Bu was busy pacifying the cities north of the Yellow River and did not send his troops south. Otherwise, Henan Yin would be in danger.

The troops of the Jin State were getting closer and closer to Cheng Gao, and the generals of General Li Dian gathered together to discuss countermeasures. This war against the Jin army was extremely important to Henan Yin.

Li Dian was a famous general under Cao Cao. He was guarding Yin in Henan, so he was naturally full of confidence. But this time his opponent was the soldiers and horses of the Jin State. Li Dian had to be more cautious. Considering how powerful the Jin State's soldiers and horses were,

Li Dian had a clear understanding.

Any general of Cao's army would probably have this idea of ​​defeating Jin's troops on the battlefield. However, Jin's army is extremely powerful and has made remarkable achievements on the battlefield in recent years.

When Cao Jun was defeated by the Bingzhou Army outside Huguan, Cao Jun regarded it as a great shame and humiliation. Now facing the Jin army again, Cao Jun's generals were a little nervous, but they were more expectant, especially those who had never experienced the Bingzhou battlefield.

The generals of Cao's army lacked sufficient understanding of the Jin army.

But all military generals want to become famous, and the generals in Cao's army are no exception. If they can defeat the Jin army in a head-on battle, they will gain not only military exploits but also fame.

The Jin army is powerful, and Cao Jun has also made remarkable achievements on the battlefield over the years. Fighting against the Jin army is an opportunity for Cao Jun's generals.

This time it was the Liangzhou Army that fought against Henan Yin. Among all the armies of the Jin State, the Liangzhou Army was formed later. Liangzhou was barren and the army was powerful. It was when Dong Zhuo ruled Liangzhou, but now

Will the Liangzhou Army still have dazzling results on the battlefield?

The last thing a general in the army should be afraid of is a challenge. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he must face it. Only after experiencing setbacks can he grow into a real strong general. If a general wants to achieve success, the battlefield is

It must be experienced. No matter how outstanding you are during ordinary army training, you need to pass the test on the battlefield before you can be called a good general.

Xia Houlan said: The enemy army is not frightening. Chenggao currently has a thousand defenders. The final general only needs 3,000 soldiers and horses to make it difficult for the Liangzhou army to advance.

Xiahou Ba asked Ying and said: The general only needs 3,000 men to defeat the enemy.

Seeing that the generals in the army were extremely enthusiastic when facing the enemy, Li Dian nodded secretly. If the generals in the army showed fear when facing the enemy, even without engaging in combat, they would want to fight on the battlefield.

It is difficult to achieve greater things.

Li Dian set his sights on Liang Mao. Liang Mao was the main counselor in the army. It was necessary to listen to Liang Mao's advice in this regard.

Liang Mao nodded and said: The two generals are not timid in the face of the enemy, which is a blessing for the army. However, the enemy's strength is strong and should not be underestimated. Liangzhou is located on the border of the Han Dynasty, and there are Qiang people in Liangzhou.

This made the people of Liangzhou extremely tough. When Lu Bu recruited troops in Liangzhou, he followed the method of merging the state army. He could not ignore the enemy troops on the battlefield.

The enemy army arrived in Chenggao, with no more than 15,000 troops at most. It is easy to rely on the advantages of the city to block the enemy's attack. However, we must not underestimate the enemy and defend the city firmly to make it difficult for the enemy army to attack Yin in Henan Province.

Making a difference on the battlefield is the top priority.

The general will understand. Xiahoulan and Xiahouba said in unison, but they were a little disapproving in their hearts. The Liangzhou army was established under Lu Bu's tent not long ago. Even though the people of Liangzhou are fierce, such a recently formed army can be on the battlefield.

What a great achievement.

Li Dian pondered for a moment and said: This time Xia Houlan led an army of four thousand to Chenggao. Together with the one thousand defenders in Chenggao City, there are five thousand soldiers and horses, which is enough to resist the enemy's attack. Mr. Liang's words must not be ignored.

If there is anything wrong with Cheng Gao, I will ask you, general.

Well, Xia Houlan said excitedly, clasping his fists.

Li Dian had a high prestige among Cao's army. Even though Xiahou Lan was from the Xiahou family, he did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Li Dian. In the army, the two generals with foreign surnames, Yu Jin and Li Dian, were the most capable.

The military generals recognized it.

Xiahou Ba failed to get this mission and looked disappointed. He led troops from Xudu to Henan Yin just to make greater achievements on the battlefield and get more credit.

Li Dian seemed to have read Xiahou Ba's thoughts and said with a smile: Henan Yin has been in chaos for a long time. After Pang De led the army, He Chou did not have the opportunity to make contributions.

Xiahou Ba felt better after hearing this. As a young general in the Xiahou family, he naturally hoped to obtain a higher status in the army.

In Cao's army, the generals named Cao and Xiahou occupy important positions in the army. These are generals who are related to Cao Cao. Even though ordinary generals have a higher status than the generals of the Xiahou family or the Cao family

He must be taller and dare not be too presumptuous in front of them. This is also due to the status of the generals with these two surnames in the army.

Xia Houlan led four thousand soldiers and horses to Chenggao, and the defense in Xingyang City was tightened. Scouts were sent to the battlefield to find out information about the enemy at any time.

Five days later, Wei Yan, as the vanguard of the army, came to Chenggao and saw Cao Jun's cavalry floating on the city wall. He ordered a thousand cavalry to set up a formation outside the city, rode their horses forward and shouted: "Who is the guard general in the city?"

When you see the Jin army coming, you should open the city gate quickly, otherwise you will be careful about your life after the army breaks through the city.

After the Liangzhou army entered Henan Yin, they did not encounter much resistance along the way, but Wei Yan's biggest feeling was the chaos in Henan Yin. This situation seemed to have become the most normal thing in Henan Yin, and the people in the city

The quantity is also extremely rare.

When Xiahou Lan heard the news of the enemy's arrival, he ordered the army to open the city gate and led two thousand infantry out of the city.
