How to say it, Wei Yan has the ability, but I have to say that his ambition is a bit too great and he is really too easy to bet.

Back then, in Nanyang, an ordinary thief with only a few hundred people under Yi Jie became the number one general of the Central Army, who was more than two thousand stones. The number one general of the Yang army was the number one general who led the army. Anyone who did what he did was bold.

The same is true for this surprise attack on Yecheng. The soldiers led by Wei Yan changed their careers to become naval forces, and basically drifted from the river all the way, so there would naturally be no supplies. Wei Yan simply walked one road to the black. Except for the soldiers and equipment, most of the people brought on the ship were ambushing cavalry.

Everyone knows that he cannot have cavalry, it is a pure infantry force. Why did the defenders of Yecheng give such a great opportunity to not send cavalry to burn his ships, but instead attack his unstable camp with openness?

If the defenders of Yecheng really sent cavalry to burn his ship, he would guarantee that he could win a great victory. In this case, Yuan's morale would definitely plummet, and the defenders of Yecheng would once again remembered the fear of being attacked by a 100,000-strong army of the emperor last year.

He studied the emperor's strategy. In fact, the emperor likes to win surprises in wars and likes to achieve military victory through political means. At that time, he will not waste time in Yecheng and will directly switch to other county towns in the northern part of Wei County. He estimated that most of the other county towns would open cities to surrender. In this way, wouldn't he have food and supplies?

By then, Cao Cai is in Weinan and in Weibei, Yecheng will become a completely lonely city. It will only be a matter of time to conquer it. With such great contributions, Wei Yan will definitely be able to leave his name in history and become a famous general of a generation. It is hard to say whether he can be granted a county marquis, but it should not be too big a problem for him to be granted a village marquis.

Of course, that was the result of his bet.

Is it a risky move? It is either a big victory or a big defeat. I don’t know if the defender of Yecheng is too stupid or too clever. Anyway, Wei Yan lost the bet this time.

Fortunately, the bet was not too big, at least it would not hurt him. When it was confirmed that the defenders of Yecheng had broken through the camp where they had set up their own suspicious formations, Wei Yan gave a neat order and everyone fled on the boat.

Anyway, they were always on the shore and they were on the boat very fast. When Yecheng realized that they had already left.

After the battle, when Xu You looked at Su You's admiration, he really felt that his two eggs seemed to be hit hard by a big hammer.

It hurts a lot.

"General Wei is really using troops like a god. Wei Yan's every move is calculated by General Wei. This battle is a great victory for our army."

Looking at the respectful look of the others around him, Xu You felt that his balls hurt even more.

When Su You saw Xu You's face was not only not happy or happy, but was particularly ugly, and he couldn't help but become nervous.

Could it be that you are not satisfied with the outcome of this battle?

"How many enemies killed, how many prisoners are captured, how many casualties are there? Where is Wei Yan?"

"This... there is no specific statistics yet, but there should be nearly two thousand killing enemies, and if there are more than one thousand losses in battle, Wei Yan... Wei Yan has already run away by boat."

"snort!"

When Xu You heard that Wei Yan was beaten away by him, his mood became more complicated.

From this point of view, Wei Yan should have ambushed the main troops to the river bank, and the so-called camp is a plan to increase the stove.

What kind of evil did I have committed?

However, even with the plan to increase the stove, Su You lost 1,000 people, while the Han army lost less than 2,000. Considering the more or less exaggerated military achievements, his losses were actually similar to Wei Yan, and Wei Yan himself and his main force simply ran away.

Is this a big victory?

This can almost be reflected in the positive direction, the Han army is so powerful.

"Where are prisoners? How many prisoners are there?"

"Uh... less than a thousand."

"With such a great victory, the prisoners have not yet won much?" Xu You felt that his voice was a little deformed.

Doesn’t this mean that the fighting will of the Han army is also extremely terrifying?

You must know that the Han army is the one who sieges the city, and they are the one who guards their homes!

The elite combat power, incredible fighting will, and the tactical arrangements that are actually very excellent and bold, but they are inexplicably cracked.

To be honest, if I hadn't won this battle by mistake, I might have been beaten by Wei Yan so hard that I would not dare to leave the city if I was really beaten!

Moreover, Wei Yan was not the elite Han army at all, and he was not a famous general in the Han court. So how powerful should those legendary imperial guards, guards, and those Han army generals who have become famous all over the world be?

Sure enough, we still have to surrender! We must surrender, and the terrible opponent Yuan Shang can't stop him at all.

But...how do I surrender now?

Can he still be a minister of the Han Dynasty? He has just defeated a great Han army! It won’t take long to make this matter popular throughout Wei County.

If he wrote a letter to Cao Cao now, he might not have believed it with the character of this old friend!

Seeing that Xu You's face became increasingly ugly, Su You became more and more nervous and asked tentatively: "How about... I'll take someone to chase Wei Yan? He should have fled to the direction of Qiqiu."

"Hmm... huh? Chiqiu?"

"It should be that direction."

Su You said this. As long as Xu You is not crazy, he will definitely not be able to pursue him. That is not killing the enemy, but killing his life.

But when Xu You heard this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Yes, Chiqiu, there is a war there now. Calculate the time, Yuan Shang and Cao Cao are already in a decisive battle.

Of course, you will not join the battlefield of Qiqiu. First of all, Xu You is very clear about the factional division of the court. Wei Yan is Yang Biao's person, and he must not want to work under Cao Cao's hands, and Cao Cao must not want to have Yang Biao's followers disgusted him.

Secondly, it is more important. When Wei Yan's defeat in this battle, he will definitely seize the time to run back to Nanpi. Otherwise, Nanpi will also be in Jizhou after all, and it will definitely be very empty now. When people receive news of Wei Yan's defeat, they will definitely be panic.

This Nanpi is a very important stronghold of the imperial court in Jizhou. It can be said that its strategic value is second only to Yecheng, and it must not be lost.

However, this did not affect Wei Yan's journey from the direction of Qiqiu. The Han army can be said to have an absolute advantage in the battle in the direction of Qiqiu. At least it successfully suppressed Yuan Shang in the field and was a little breathless. If they went to pursue Wei Yan, Cao Cao would definitely send reinforcements to block the attack, and would even find a way to eat him.

But I can surrender to Cao Cao under the guise of pursuing Wei Yan. At that time, I only need to appear beside Cao Cao in front of the two armies, Yuan Shang's morale will collapse immediately. I will lead the troops to kill one of them and retaliate. Will the empty Yecheng be taken down immediately?

Well, if you do this, even if you defeat Wei Yan before, it can be considered a part of the plan. Instead, it can give people the impression that I am very smart. Maybe after surrender, you will not only be granted the title of marquis, but also be entrusted with real power.

"Wei Yan must chase, not only to chase, but I also have to take the opportunity to take down Nanpi. Now, immediately, follow me out of the city to pursue. I will lead you to pursue Wei Yan in person."

"This... General Wei, but..."

"Nothing is true. This is the best opportunity to regain Nanpi. You should all understand the current situation. Regaining Nanpi is very important, even more important than protecting Yecheng."
