    It¡¯s night.

    Fifty miles north of Xinye, Cao Ying.

    Cao Hong's four thousand troops have finished setting up camp. At this time, the moon is rising, and most of Cao Hong's soldiers have already rested.

    The main tent of the Chinese army was still brightly lit and there was music and drums.

    In the center of the big tent, a group of beautiful prostitutes in light clothes were dancing gracefully to the sound of drums, undressing and taking off their belts.

    In the first seat, Cao Hong was holding his chin in his hand, sipping wine, and squinting to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him.

    The generals under the tent were all drinking heavily, talking and laughing, and pointed at the dancing prostitutes in a lustful manner.

    It is common to have camp prostitutes in the army. Cao Hong came from a wealthy family and always liked luxury and enjoyment. Now he arranged for camp prostitutes to dance naked in the tent to entertain his generals.

    When the wine was getting thicker, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and a person came in with the wind.

    The cold wind that penetrated through the tent woke up everyone in Mimi, and they all looked towards the tent in unison. When they saw the person who had entered clearly, they were all stunned in shock.

    "Man Boning! Youare you still alive?" Cao Hong was also startled and shouted tremblingly.

    The person who enters is Man Chong.

    Man Chong glanced at the group of naked camp prostitutes in the tent, and said with a livid face: "General Li Feng, during the war, you are watching naked women playing in the camp, how unbecoming it is!"

    Cao Hong was shaken, and fear suddenly appeared on his face.

    When Man Chong was the magistrate of Xu County, he was known for his strict law enforcement. When Cao Hong's relatives broke the law, Man Pang arrested them all. Cao Hong begged Man Chong for mercy, but Man Chong didn't give him face at all. He must handle the matter in accordance with the law.

    Later, Cao Hong had no choice but to plead with Cao Cao. After Man Chong learned about it, he hurriedly executed all the criminals before Cao Cao came.

    From then on, Cao Hong said nothing, but in his heart he was extremely afraid of Man Chong.

    Now Man Chong suddenly appeared and publicly reprimanded Cao Hong in front of the generals. Cao Hong was frightened and quickly waved his hand to signal the camp prostitutes to retreat.

    The disheveled camp prostitutes retreated gracefully, and the generals in the tent seemed a little displeased. Cao Hong didn't care much, so he pushed all the generals back together, and then invited Man Chong to take a seat with a smile.

    "I heard that during the battle in Runan, Boning disappeared without a trace. How could he suddenly appear here?" Cao Hong asked curiously.

    Man Chong then told Cao Hong the truth about how he was captured, how unyielding he was, and how Yan Liang asked him to express his goodwill and ask for peace.

    "It turns out that Boning was captured by Yan Liang, and I thought you died on the battlefield." Cao Hong's fearful expression gradually faded, and his tone seemed to be somewhat sarcastic.

    Man Chong didn't care about this and said seriously: "The troops that Yan Liang led this time were only two thousand. Now Liu Biao has sent a large army to attack Xinye. Yan Liang was attacked from both sides. He just wanted to sue for peace with the general. I expect that Yan Liang's army must be in panic now.  , This is a God-given opportunity, why don¡¯t the general mobilize his army and rob the enemy camp at night, and he will surely win in one battle."

    "Is this happening? How did Boning know that Liu Biao was attacking Yan Liang?" Cao Hong looked suspicious.

    Man Chong then told Wen Pin's words that he heard in the camp.

    After hearing this, Cao Hong shook his head and said: "The Prime Minister gave me a secret order before leaving, telling me not to underestimate the enemy. How can I conclude that Yan Liangjun's mind is in chaos based on the few words you heard?"

    With one sentence, Cao Hong made Man Chong speechless.

    He knew that Cao Hong was suspicious because of his capture, so he did not dare to trust him easily.

    And Man Chong also wanted to help Cao Hong kill Yan Liang and make a meritorious service, so as to wash away the stain of his capture and regain the Cao family's trust in him.

    However, now he has no conclusive evidence to support his judgment.

    After pondering for a moment, Man Chong said: "Don't you just want definite evidence, the general? If I present evidence that convinces the general, will the general adopt my strategy?"

    Although Cao Hong has a problem with Man Chong, he has no problem with meritorious service. If he can really defeat Yan Liang in one fell swoop, bring shame to his eldest brother Cao Ren and promote his reputation as Cao Hong, why not do it.

    After a pause, Cao Hong said: "If this is really the case, I will send troops myself."

    A smile appeared on Man Chong's lips.

    It¡¯s dawn the next day.

    The scouts sent back intelligence early in the morning, and Yan Liangjun, as Man Chong said, broke camp and headed south, retreating twenty miles to show his sincerity.

    In the afternoon, Cao Hong led his army to Yan Liang's abandoned camp, intending to set up camp here and press on the opponent step by step.

    Soon after the order was conveyed,Man Chong rode up and said excitedly: "General Zilian, the evidence is conclusive, is it time to send troops?"

    "Where is the evidence?" Cao Hong asked doubtfully.

    Man Chong jumped off his horse and pointed to the small earth pits around him: "The evidence the general wants is exactly these military stoves left by Yan Liang."

    "Military stove?"

    Cao Hong looked around, his expression becoming more and more confused. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

    "I have just ordered people to count the military stoves. The total number of stoves is only enough for more than a thousand people to make fire and make food. This means that the situation in Xinye must be very urgent, forcing Na Yan Liang to secretly deploy troops and horses.  Returning reinforcements, this means that Yan Liang currently has only a thousand soldiers and horses. General, isn't this enough to make him determined? "

    Man Chong¡¯s words completely awakened Cao Hong.

    Although his military ability is not as good as that of his brother Cao Ren, he is also familiar with the art of war and is quite capable. How can he not understand the importance of what Man Chong just said.

    Yan Liang originally brought only two thousand troops and horses, but now there are one thousand less. From this point of view, Man Chong's speculation is completely correct.

    The opportunity given by God is the time to use troops.

    Cao Hong's expression suddenly became determined, and he shouted sternly: "I have ordered the whole army to be well fed tonight and rob the enemy camp at night. I will personally cut off Yan Liang's head to avenge my brother!"

    ? ######

    The night is like splashing ink.

    Five hundred cavalrymen stood solemnly on the west bank of the Huoshui River. There was only the sound of wind and water in their ears, and the surrounding fields were eerily quiet.

    Yan Liang stood on his horse and held his sword, staring coldly at the brightly lit camp on the other side.

    The moon disappeared and the moon appeared, time passed by minute by minute, and the night was still dead silent.

    The cavalrymen behind them gradually began to become restless, and their original iron will was quietly wearing away as time went by.

    Only the iron tower-like body in front of him remained motionless, as calm as a mountain.

    Yan Liang's calmness gradually calmed down the restless moods of the knights.

    "Since I followed General Yan, I have always been able to defeat no matter how powerful the enemy is. It will be the same this time."

    The knights comforted themselves in this way.

    The wind is blowing and the cold is getting worse.

    Yan Liang¡¯s razor-sharp eyes suddenly moved.

    There was finally something strange happening in the camp on the other side.

    The shouts of killing were faintly heard, and under the light of the fire, there seemed to be meteors shooting out from the camp, which were the light of arrows.

    Immediately afterwards, the rumble of war drums and the thumping of horse hooves suddenly began, and countless black shadows came out of the night and attacked the camp.

    That was the most violent attack launched by 4,000 Cao troops against Wenpin's 1,000 infantry troops.

    "Cao Hong, you still fell into the trap." A sneer appeared on the corner of Yan Liang's mouth.

    Whether it¡¯s Wen Ping¡¯s revelation of intelligence or the so-called reduction of the enemy, it¡¯s actually Yan Liang¡¯s trick to lure the enemy.

    There is only one purpose, which is to make Cao Hong mistakenly believe that the new field is in danger, and Yan Liang's army is confused, so he mobilizes all his troops to rob the camp.

    The only way to defeat the strong with the weak is by surprise. How could Yan Liang forget this?

    Seeing that Cao Hong had fallen into the trap, Yan Liang did not stop at all, and immediately ordered the entire army to march northward along the Huoshui River.

    The Miao River flows from north to south, and the terrain on its east bank is relatively flat. Therefore, when the two armies fought, they set up their camps on the east bank of the Miao River.

    In order to avoid the reconnaissance of Cao Jun's scouts, Yan Liang deliberately waded across the river and approached Cao Jun from the west bank. He walked quickly without running into any of Cao Jun's scouts.

    As dawn approached, the shadow of Cao Ying¡¯s banner finally appeared on the other side of the river.

    Yan Liang ordered his soldiers and horses to move concealed, and used the darkness before dawn to sneak to Cao's camp, and then waded across the river.

    When the east turned white, Yan Liang and his five hundred knights who had been rushing for more than an hour finally appeared quietly behind Cao Jun.

    In the field of vision, Cao Jun was quiet and completely unprepared.

    At this moment, almost all of Cao's troops are attacking Yan Liangjun's camp in the south. There are only five or six hundred Cao troops left guarding the camp.

    Yan Liang took a deep breath, leaped forward, raised his sword, and shouted loudly: "Athletes of the Yan family army, this is the time to make great achievements. Follow me and kill all the Cao thieves!"

    "Kill all the Cao thieves!" "Kill all the Cao thieves!"

    Five hundred knights, with their blood boiling, roared loudest in unison.

    The long sword slashed forward, and five hundred cavalry burst out.
