Yu Jin was a general who commanded the army and was promoted step by step from small soldiers in the army with his military merits. He had a strong positive emotion in defeating the enemy on the battlefield and making achievements.

However, he still had to obey military orders from the state.

Cao Cao's recent military order was to suppress the troops and horses to the doorstep of the Henan guards' homes, and to make Luoyang feel the huge pressure from Yanzhou without directly attacking the city.

This is to facilitate the envoys of Yanzhou to gain more political benefits from Luoyang City, but Cao Cao would not say these things clearly.

However, the soldiers at the bottom are also human beings, and they will also have their own ideas. When facing unexplained advances, they will be anxious, miss their families, and will also breed dissatisfaction. How to coordinate the pressure from superiors and subordinates requires Yu Jin, who is in the army, not only uses military law to control the masses, but also comforts the soldiers with kindness.

This made Yu Jin feel very difficult and he was more cautious. Of course, this was also a matter of repeated orders in Cao Cao's military orders.

Although Wang Bi's envoy made progress in Luoyang and Hedong also made good intentions to promote Cao Cao and his civil and military officials, he was still unwilling to let go of the emperor. Wang Bi was able to secretly detect the intention of Xi Zhicai and others to delay time.

Perhaps Hedong's kindness was just to delay time, or to confuse Cao's army and achieve the goal of attacking him unprepared.

Not only was Yanzhou Prefecture prepared for this, Yu Jin could also see some clues from Cao Cao's military orders.

After all, the pressure Hedong faces in Guandong is not as great as Yanzhou expected. Nanyang County, which has the power of Jingxiang and Liubiao, and Runan County, are intertwined in the boundary. This is destined to ensure the safety of the flanks of the army, Yanzhou will not be able to dispatch large troops in the direction of Yuzhou to threaten Luoyang at the same time.

In addition, the Hebei army, which had always had high hopes, was only stationed in the front line of Gongxian-Jixian, and showed no sign of attacking first, which greatly reduced the pressure felt by Hedong.

At least Chenggao, Arc destiny and other passes guarding the east and west roads, so although Luoyang City also felt the pressure, it was not as urgent as it needed to rest.

As for why the Hebei army only entered the front line of Gongxian-Jixian, but did not attack Henoi, Yu Jin was not clear. Perhaps it was the hot climate mentioned by the commander Xiahou Dun, and Hebei was preparing to launch a large-scale attack until the beginning of autumn. Perhaps the Hebei army was like the Yanzhou army, waiting for the Allies to fight the enemy forces in Luoyang first, and then take advantage of the situation to use troops.

This is very similar to when the coalition forces attacked Dong!

Yu Jin thought to himself immediately, and what pulled him out of his complicated thoughts was a crisp sound of horse hooves.

The knights reported from Cao's army were driven by the cavalry, which means that the baggage carriages that came out of Zhongmu had entered Longcheng.

Yu Jin quickly ordered the 500 soldiers under his command to speed up and go to pick up his own baggage convoy.

After walking distance of less than five miles, Yu Jin met with the baggage convoy in Yanzhou.

The person who escorted the food, grass and supplies was Li Dian, a rookie among the generals of Cao Jun, and was from Shanyang.

Li Dian was from the Juye people in Shanyang. The Li clan was in the local area and was a famous rich family. During the civil strife in Yanzhou, the Li clan stood clearly on the side of Cao Cao's camp. Li Dian's father died at the hands of the Lu Bu army because he refused to follow the rebels. His elder brother Li Zhong continued to lead the family army to fight with the Cao army, defeated Lu Bu's army, and made great contributions to the Cao army's regaining Yanzhou.

However, Li Zhen, who made great contributions to Cao Cao, unfortunately died young. This army composed of Li family and guests of the clan were handed over to his relative Li Dian. Li Dian, who was only young and in his early twenties, became a rookie among the generals of Cao's army and was promoted by Cao Cao to Yingyin Order and General of the Central Army.

This time, the Yanzhou army used troops to fight in Henan, and Li Dian also led the Li family army to follow the battle. With a wave of his hand, the chief general Xiahou Dun handed over the burden of transporting hundreds of trucks of food and grass to the front army Yu Jin's unit to Li Dian's unit.

So, after receiving the military order, Li Dian, who was ready, took five hundred troops composed of children and guests from the clan and three hundred civil servants, and escorted one hundred chariots full of food and grass, all the way to Longcheng.

As soon as the baggage carriage convoy met Yu Jin's troops, Li Dian did not dare to be arrogant, so he immediately patted the horse and took a team of personal soldiers to meet Yu Jin who was coming in person.

Although Li Dian still had the title of General of the Central Army, nominally higher than Yu Jin, who served as the lieutenant of Pinglu, he obtained this from his father and brother Yinfei. The reason why Cao Cao praised his title of General of the Central Army was just to allow him to legitimately lead the Li family's troops to serve the shogunate. Once the Li family's troops were out of the scope of the Li family, he had no influence in the Cao army.

Yu Jin was a military commander who fought on the battlefield. He was quite prestigious among the Cao army. At this time, he was the general who led the front army and must pay special attention.

When Yu Jin saw Li Dian coming, he did not neglect. He then rode his horse out and met Li Dian with military salute on the horse.

After the two exchanged a few greetings, Yu Jin did not say much, and immediately ordered his subordinates to turn around and open the way for Li Dian's baggage convoy in front of him. Yu Jin led a team of personal soldiers to stay between the baggage convoy and walked with Li Dian.

Being in the baggage carriage, Yu Jin was able to observe the special army of the Li family army in the Cao army more closely.

Looking around the convoy, although the 500 pieces of Li's family were all covered with iron armor and leather armor of the Cao army, and under the banner of Yanzhou, after closer inspection, they were still very different from the Cao army under his command.

Although the Li family's army was also bound by military tactics, the army's marching was not neat and orderly, and they were not quiet and serious during the march. Many soldiers of the army sang vulgar and vulgar local songs. Some Wu Shi made fun of each other, mocking each other's timidity in the last battle and boasting about his courage when he braved the arrows to rush into the formation.

These divisions seem to be disorderly and disregard military laws, but they can form a single line. The soldiers who fall behind do not need to be scolded by the military officers. They must grit their teeth and catch up with the ridicule of other familiar tribe members. The soldiers who sprained their ankles do not need to send someone to treat them. The soldiers who traveled with them took the initiative to stop, observe the injuries and support each other.

Military law is not obvious in this army, but rather an additional constraint that maintains this army.

Yu Jin even saw some of his own troops equipped with war horses, but they did not take horses to travel, but walked like infantrymen without horses, talking and laughing, without any discomfort or strange feeling on their faces.

Seeing that Yu Jin did not speak for a long time, but staring at the soldiers who were hiking in his own group and leaving horses silent, Li Dian smiled and took the initiative to explain:

"This is the rule I set when my brother was alive. The Li family members can bring their own soldiers and horses when they join the army. However, when they march, except for commanding troops, provoking, and sending orders, other Li family members can ride horses together and must dismount and walk."

"One of the way is to save horsepower, and two of the things that allow them to walk with other horseless tribesmen and guests to form a group. This is very different from the situation where the infantry and cavalry in the army are divided into orders and the number of Ling Sen Ming is the case, which makes the captain laugh!"

Yu Jin shook his head when he heard this, and was still watching. After a while, he said:

"Brother Zun and Mancheng are both good at governing the army!"

Inexplicably, he was praised by Yu Jin, who was always rigorous in the Cao army. The young Li Dian did not dare to be arrogant and quickly spoke out to be humble. Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, he heard the familiar horn sound of the scout Cao army.

"Woo woo woo woo--"

When Li Dian heard the sound of the horn warned by Cao Jun, his face changed suddenly. He grabbed the horn bow on the side of the saddle, widened his eyes and headed towards the northwest of the horn sound, and said in shock:

"Is it an enemy attack?"

Yu Jin has encountered many Xiliang cavalry in Henan during the past month of marching. However, he was very calm. He said in a solemn voice:

"It should be the Xiliang cavalry cruising in Henan. Mancheng, you will take your troops and first protect the grain carts and walk to the Bian River. Choose a place to choose a cart as a barrier and line up to defend it. I will stop them first and then rush to meet you later!"

Li Dian is a keen eye. Although Yu Jin showed calmness, Li Dian still saw the heavy weight in his words. Judging from the direction of the horn sound, he was afraid that it was not just a light cavalry that was cruising on ordinary cruising cavalry, but a large-scale move in Chenggao Pass to cut off the food route.

But now it's useless to worry about these things.

Li Dian didn't care about the ownership of command at this time, so he quickly directed his own troops to change directions. Everyone drove the grain truck and rushed to the bank of the Bianshui River.

He ran for only a few miles, but when he approached the west bank of the Bian River, the civil servants driving ox carts were still exhausted and panting. However, Li Dian knew the power of the cavalry group that was driving like the wind on the plains, so he did not dare to stop and rest for a little while. He hurriedly commanded the headquarters to lead the civil servants to the Bian River silt beach, laying up vanes and waiting in line.

The sound of Cao's army's horns was still ringing, sometimes close and sometimes far, and when it came, there were other horns of different lengths mixed behind.

Li Dian knew that it was the encounter between Yu Jin's troops and the coming Xiliang cavalry.

Before the riverside barrier was laid, the Li family members who were sent out to detectives were already rushing back on fast horses. They were sweating and panting and reported to Li Dian in the array:

This time, a large number of Xiliang cavalry attacked. From a distance, the enemy's momentum was afraid that it would be less than a thousand cavalry. The infantry of Yu Jin's troops not only encountered the enemy cavalry group in front, but also seemed to be surrounded by enemy cavalry. Yu Jin's military formation could no longer be seen. He used footsteps to fight cavalry on the plains, and there was no barrier. I was afraid that Yu Jin's troops would be in danger.

Hearing this grim news, Li Dian's face suddenly darkened.

Yu Jin's troops came to protect the food road, and in order to allow his convoy to retreat to the riverside to defend, he chose to face the difficulties and risked to intercept the enemy cavalry on the plain without any dangers.
