"Brother! Four brothers, four brothers, they all died in the battle!" Xue Xiantu, Xue Rengui's cousin, said, holding back the grief in his heart.
Upon suddenly hearing such news, Xue Rengui felt his head buzzing, almost making him unable to stand. How can the brotherhood of more than ten years be fake? Having lost four brothers at once, Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
"Who did it?" Xue Rengui grabbed Xue Xiantu's shoulder and asked bitterly.
"Brother, these are the two thieves Gongsun Shu and Yuan Mujue!"
"Gongsun Shu, Yuan Mujue."
Xue Rengui roared angrily, his eyes full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I, Xue Rengui, will fight with you until death."
"Send my military order and the entire army returns to Huguan!"
Although Xue Rengui was sad in his heart, he would not let hatred blind him at this moment. A gentleman takes revenge no later than ten years. With their current situation, it is impossible for them to go back and seek revenge against the other party right away.
Xue Rengui has finished fighting here, but he is depressed in other places.
Xiaopingjin and Guo Ziyi hurried here, preparing to board Han Shizhong's boat from the Yellow River to Huguan, and cooperate with Xue Rengui in a pincer attack.
However, before they could get on the ship, the news that Xue Rengui had finished the battle had already spread. In the eyes of Xue Rengui and Lian Po, they were defeated in that battle.
But it was different in Guo Ziyi's eyes. After all, he didn't know the specific process of that battle, but the final result was that the coalition forces of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao came with 80,000 troops and left with less than 30,000 troops. The threat of Huguan had already been Completely lifted, even Gongsun Zan himself was dealt with.
However, Xue Rengui and the others have solved the problem themselves, so wouldn't their troops have been in vain? What they originally thought was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds turned out to be a wasted trip. How could Guo Ziyi and the others be willing to do so.
But now that the danger at Huguan has been resolved, there is no use for them to go. Instead of doing this, it would be better to take some credit elsewhere. After Guo Ziyi and Ma Yuan Shangyi passed by, they finally set their target on Yue Fei.
Therefore, Guo Ziyi and Ma Yuan temporarily ordered Ma Xiong to lead 10,000 troops to Huguan. After all, although the war there has ended, it is true that the military strength is insufficient. Although these generals wanted to take some credit for their achievements on other battlefields, they had to do so under the condition of ensuring that Huguan was flawless. Just in case, Ma Yuan asked Ma Xiong to lead his troops to Huguan for a while.
As for generals such as Guo Ziyi, Ma Yuan, and Ju Yi, they led the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses to station themselves on Xiaopingjin. They had already sent people six hundred miles away to report to their lord Li Xiang. They would not dare to really send troops like that before getting permission.
Although the general is outside, military orders are not obeyed. But you have to be able to ensure that your master doesn't care, or that your actions can really solve a major crisis. Otherwise, if you easily play the trick of being outside, military orders will be ignored. Even if the battle is won by then, there may not be any benefits. The most important thing is not to violate the wishes of the people above.
The reason why I chose to go to Yue Fei's place was not Wei Qing's place. It was because Guo Ziyi and the others had already received the news that Guangping Pass had been lost.
Although Cen Peng was a good general, he was not as scheming as Fan Zeng. Moreover, it was not only Fan Zeng who took action this time, but also Liu Yu, who was a guest in Xiang Yu's army. The two men worked together to design, and Cen Peng also lost unjustly.
Unfortunately, Li Zhu and his troops who were led out of the city eventually fell into Fan Zeng's trap and were wiped out.
Cen Peng's troops were already at a serious disadvantage. This time, Fan Zeng defrauded nearly half of his troops at once, making him completely unable to continue playing.
In the end, Cen Peng was at the end of his rope after holding on for six days. However, if the Xiang clan invaded so quickly, Sizhou would be in danger. After all, it would take time for Yue Fei's reinforcements to arrive from Guanzhong.
As a result, Cen Peng used the old method that Cao GUI had used before Meng Jin, and directly set fire to Guangping Pass. Using this fire to hold on for one more day is a day, and holding on for one more day will give you a glimmer of hope. In the end, the Jin army that followed Cen Peng to withdraw from Guangping Pass ended up with only a thousand people left.
Although Cen Peng lit Guangcheng Pass on fire, making people like Xiang Yan, Fan Zeng, and Liu Yu very angry, he could only be angry. No matter how resourceful Fan Zeng was, he could not make a rain out of thin air to extinguish Guangcheng Pass. into a closed fire.
It has to be said that although Cen Peng was derelict in his duty when he lost Guangcheng Pass, he was also very decisive in burning Guangcheng Pass. Because of the two-day delay when Guangcheng Pass was ignited with fire, the Flying Tiger Army, as the vanguard, finally caught up and caught up with and intercepted Xiang Yu who was preparing to attack Hulao Pass.
Yue Fei thought well. After taking Guangcheng Pass, the Xiang family chose to divide their troops into two groups. Along the way, the army was assembled at the Guangchengguan ruins and prepared to march to Luoyang. Of course, this journey is also for Xiang Yu to attract attention. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, led three cavalry groups, Tenglong, Hubao, and Leiying, with a total of 6,000 men, to raid Hulao Pass, preparing to lead Yuan Shao and Cao Cao outside Hulao Pass into Sizhou.
Fan Zeng also had other intentions here. In addition to targeting Li Xiang, his target this time, he also targeted his old rivals, the three Liu brothers. Although they became allies for the time being, they still plotted to death when it was time to plot.
Even if the Xiang clan conquers any territory in Sizhou, they will never occupy it. Jingnan, where the Xiang clan is located, is not bordered by Jiaozhou and Sizhou. Even if it is conquered, it will only be an enclave. In the end, it can only be handed over to their old rivals and allies this time, the three Liu brothers.
Under this situation, if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are also introduced to Sizhou, then Sizhou's territory will inevitably be shared by these two people. Now that we have to deal with Li Xiang, the princes will naturally not easily start any civil strife. But when this war is over, how can the three princes living in the same state live in harmony. At that time, Sizhou will become a quagmire for the three Liu brothers, indirectly bringing benefits and opportunities to their Xiang family.
What's more, if the three Liu brothers occupy Li Xiang's territory, Li Xiang will not let go in the future.
If the fashionable and immature Yu Ji wanted to weaken and strengthen the Jin Dynasty by joining forces vertically and horizontally, then the wily Fan Zeng had more things to consider. While trying to weaken Li Xiang, the largest prince in the world, It also secretly weakened the three Liu brothers as neighbors, providing opportunities for their own future development and growth.
