If you look down on the entire battlefield from the sky, you can see Yan Liangwen, Chou Yuan Shao and others leading two to three hundred people on horseback and running wildly. The magnanimity of the four generations and the image of the Confucian sect are nothing in the face of life and death.
Behind Yuan Shao was Cao Cao who came to meet him. Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and other clan members also protected him and escaped. Cao Cao even threw away his cumbersome helmets. There were more than a thousand soldiers beside Cao Cao and they fled with them. .
Luo Xiao led the cavalry to pursue them all the way. The surging troops were like a flood that was about to wash away everything. They let out loud wails and screams, and then quickly washed away everything until they were about to rush out of the valley, and suddenly became cheerful.
Cao Cao's heart was bleeding. He had worked so hard to recruit local warriors. He didn't know how much he would lose in this wave. Fortunately, the elite soldiers were still there, otherwise he would really vomit blood.
"Come out! Come out!"
Countless people shouted loudly, their voices filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, which was the desire for life. The defeated troops were like water spilled from a narrow water pipe, instantly spreading out in all directions at a very fast speed. This kind of The change immediately caused a more serious stampede. At this moment, countless people screamed and died at the moment they thought they were alive.
The cavalry behind Luo Xiao divided a thousand men and continued to drive the soldiers to flee, while he led two thousand elite cavalry to pursue Cao Cao. Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan's troops were the last elite of Yuan Shao's coalition army.
This war did not make him happy. There were not many heroes in Yuan Shao's army. They were basically just a bunch of losers, just trying to sell their heads.
After Yuan Shao and Cao Cao rushed out of the valley, they walked forward side by side. They breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They both looked at the green mountains and green valley with lingering fear. It was obviously a beautiful scenery with clear mountains and clear waters, but in the eyes of everyone, it looked like a choice. The abyss that devours people.
Yuan Shao sighed as he fled: "Mengde, the elite of the coalition forces were wiped out in a single battle. Looking back on the tragic scene in the valley, I am afraid that at least 100,000 people were killed here. The heroic appearance of this horn on the battlefield is truly invincible.
How could the court allow such a person to rebel?
How could the imperial court not include him among the most talented people?
Haven't the Hebei gentry paid attention to such a great talent?
It's really stupid. He must have used my big man's inspection system into a tool for arbitrary power and profit. "
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth when he said that he was really deceived. The purpose of promoting filial piety and integrity and promoting talents was to allow the court to gather talents from all over the world.
But he did not gather talents like Zhang Jue. Of course he thought that something was wrong with the Hebei gentry.
Although Yuan Shao valued family background, it was for scholars.
He has always believed that scholars can be distinguished mainly by their power, but he does not care at all about the origins of powerful generals.
Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others all came from poor and powerful families, and their backgrounds could be said to be very low, but they were all his close and beloved generals, and they were trusted by him more than those who came from aristocratic families.
Zhang Jiao was so fierce, he couldn't believe that no one in Jizhou knew that such a person could live in the market.
Cao Cao didn't know what to say, and his face was very dark. His continuous words made him doubt his life. What's even more difficult is that Zhang Jiao is still being hunted.
After hearing what Yuan Shao said, Cao Cao said while running away: "Ben Chu, it's too late to say this now. If this continues, it won't be a matter of the Han recruiting Zhang Jiao, but Zhang Jiao recruiting us. What should we do now?"
In this noisy and chaotic battlefield, where life and death could be in danger at any time, the two headwind gods began brainstorming to find a way out.
Countless messy information was placed in front of the two of them, and almost at the same time both of them shouted out that name, "Gongsun Zan!"
The only person who can withstand it now is Gongsun Zan. In fact, among the princes who sent troops this time, Gongsun Zan does not have the largest number of troops, but he is recognized as one of the strongest in terms of strength, just because of the white horse and his obedience!
Cao Cao just finished speaking and said with a subtle expression: "But Gongsun Zan..."
Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had a quarrel. Yuan Shao knew what Cao Cao wanted to say, so he immediately smiled heartily and said: "We are all Qinwang princes, all for the sake of the Han Dynasty. When we meet Gongsun Zan, as long as he is willing to continue to fight against the Taiping Army, we will give him He kowtows to apologize, and I am willing to do so!"
Yuan Shao's words were loud and clear, and he looked like a loyal minister who could abandon personal interests for the sake of the country.
Cao Cao, a true loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, burst into tears when he heard this. Everyone around him looked at Yuan Shao with admiration, who seemed to be shining with dazzling light.
"Original justice is righteous!"
Cao Cao used the honorific title, then raised his whip and said: "Let's go!"
The two discussed here and then changed directions. Luo Xiao knew as soon as he saw them that they wanted to join Gongsun Zan. Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan had tens of thousands of horses in total, and together they had thousands of elite troops, both on foot and on cavalry.
But does it matter?
Even when a large army is fighting, there are many surprises due to the right time, place and people. The situation of a small number of soldiers is even more invincible. Do you understand the value of King Xiang forming an army by himself?
With a large army of more than 100,000, I may lose to the top staff group and countless fierce generals, but with less than 10,000, I, Luo Xiao, are invincible in the world!
…
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao ran all the way, completely racing their horses to death. In order to reduce the burden on the horses, they directly threw away their armor and prepared to wait until Gongsun Zan's army to find another pair of armor to wear. Soon they met A scout of Gongsun Zan's army.
In Gongsun Zan's army, looking at the disgraced appearance of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan secretly laughed in his heart, and then immediately asked loudly: "How can the leader of the alliance lead an army of hundreds of thousands, but he can't face thousands of troops, but end up in this field?" ah?"
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao introduced the basic situation, so Gongsun Zan didn't panic at all, and was even in the mood to mock them.
These words were full of sarcasm. An angry look flashed across Cao Cao's face. Liu Bei was anxious. He saw that this was a big defeat. He would either run away or attack directly. At this time, there was internal fighting. He was risking his life. ?
Yuan Shao heard this and bowed directly, then looked around the crowd and said loudly: "Bo Gui, I know there were some misunderstandings between you and me before, and we were unhappy. But since we are an alliance of blood and have agreed to help the world together, your personal grudges are not enough." For the Tao.
Whether you are fighting or retreating today, you are doing it for the country. If you have any grudges in your heart, I am here to kowtow to you and apologize. "
As he said this, he was about to kneel down. When Cao Cao saw this, he picked up Yuan Shao and said angrily: "The alliance is made with blood, and the sky is the witness, but the leader of the alliance kneels down. What's the truth?
Gongsun Bogui, as long as you say a word today, Benchu and I will leave immediately! "
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's words were very serious. They both stared directly at Gongsun Zan. Everyone knew that these two people were sincere.
Just now when Yuan Shao was about to kneel down, Gongsun Zan broke out in a cold sweat. Even when he was not on top, he still had some brains.
Yuan Shao's kneeling will indeed increase his prestige, but there are not many positive ones, so it is possible to isolate himself from the circle of powerful people.
Seeing that the generals around Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were glaring at him, Gongsun Zan was a little timid, but he still said forcefully: "I am a Han official, so naturally I want to help the Han Dynasty!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Bo Gui is so righteous and worthy of being a border commander and a tiger minister with two thousand stones.
When things are over, I, Yuan Benchu, will host a banquet in Luoyang, inviting Bogui and other heroes to pay tribute to Bogui, who is so loyal today! "
Yuan Benchu, who was against the wind, was simply amazing. He quickly and skillfully transformed from a grassy border commander to a fierce minister in the border commanders. The protagonist was obviously Gongsun Zan, but it was Yuan Benchu who was full of heroic spirit. People who didn't know thought that this white-horse Yi Cong It belonged to him, Yuan Shao, and he thought it was Yuan Shao who was about to attack.
Gongsun Zan waved his hands and went to purge Baima. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also joined the army.
After listening to what Yuan Shao and Cao Cao said, everyone knew that Zhang Jue was a military commander, and the military commander could not use new soldiers unless he had the commanding skills of Huaiyin Wu Muhou.
So everyone only led the elite infantry and cavalry to attack. In fact, the elite attack sometimes has greater combat effectiveness than the large army. The so-called large army mainly consists of logistics and auxiliary troops wearing armor for the elite. Their combat effectiveness is meager. In many cases, it is even worse. Drag down the elite.
Hundreds of fully armored soldiers can charge back and forth between tens of thousands of unarmored auxiliary soldiers. If they have horses, they can even break out 100% of the time. This is not a lie.
At this time, in Gongsun Zan's army, in addition to the white horse followers, there were 3,000 soldiers. The real elite soldiers were naturally more than this, but if they only wore leather armor, they would die if they went into battle. At least they had to wear an upper body armor and put on A helmet will do.
A group of six thousand people lined up, and then heard the sound of galloping war horses. Gongsun Zan looked from a distance. He had been fighting the Beiyan people and Hu people on the border all year round. He could tell at a glance that there were about two thousand people, and there would definitely not be more than two. Thousands and five hundred people couldn't help but feel relieved, and confidence returned to his body.
Luo Xiao also looked from a distance and saw that the Han army was in strict formation, with about a thousand infantry in front, and cavalry cruising behind the infantry.
This is a head-on confrontation with myself!
Luo Xiao looked far into the distance and saw the two banners of Yuan and Cao rising high, and a Gongsun banner flying high next to it. He couldn't help laughing. He had a premonition that it came from His intuition would definitely surprise him here.
Luo Xiao led the cavalry forward, but he did not rush to charge and fight. Instead, he stretched out his hand to pull the horse's bridle, pointed at the people hundreds of meters away and laughed loudly: "I am a giant deer with open horns. Under the emperor, The Taoist Master of Heaven will kill the people of Han Dynasty!"
The last word "诛" made everyone's expressions change. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao recalled the invincible heroic appearance of the people in front of them on the battlefield, and they felt frightened and extremely cold.
"The Yuan clan of Runan, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu!"
Everyone did not expect that Yuan Shao actually took a step forward and said directly, "Tao Master is a genius, why bother to be a thief?
If you are willing to return to Yi, it will be easy to be granted the title of marquis and worship the general of the Hussars.
I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, have a great reputation in the court and the world. If the Taoist master is willing to return to justice, I would like to raise my family to act as a guarantor. I ask the Taoist master to think twice. "
Although he knew it was almost impossible, Yuan Shao still wanted to give it a try, and his promise could be fulfilled. The general has always been a relative, the general of valiant cavalry has always been assigned to Wushuang Hou, and the general of gallbladder and the prime minister are the official positions in the world. the apex.
Luo Xiao was stunned for a moment and then laughed loudly and said: "Princes and generals?
Not to mention princes, generals, and ministers, what does the world have to do with me? "
What does the world have to do with me?
This domineering sentence completely exposed Luo Xiao's attitude. Even I don't care about the world. What do the princes, generals and ministers mean?
Yuan Shao sighed slightly when he heard this. Sure enough, he still failed. Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked at each other, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Although the person in front of them is a thief, he is still a hero. The two of them thought they could not say these domineering words now. They would write them down for now and use them when they have the opportunity in the future.
Gongsun Zan also felt that Zhang Jue was too domineering. No wonder thousands of people could beat that good-for-nothing Yuan Shao into oblivion.
But he refused!
He is obviously the strongest among them, how can he tolerate someone who is more attractive than him?
Gongsun Zan stepped forward on his horse. His voice was really loud. When he shouted casually, his voice was louder than when Yuan Shao had used all his strength just now, "I am Gongsun of Youzhou, and so is Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Bogui!"
When Luo Xiao heard Gongsun Zan's name, his eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "I heard your name in Youzhou. You have done a good job in expelling the barbarians. Taiping Dao is a believer of Emperor Su, so I will spare your life!"
Hearing Luo Xiao's words, Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, and then he became furious. He kept shouting: Xuande, where is my sword?
No wonder Gongsun Zan was irrational, he was here just fine, and Luo Xiao opened his mouth just to spare his life.
Luo Xiao only appeared for a moment, and everyone had some understanding of this legendary Taiping Army Heavenly Dao Master. He was extremely arrogant, extremely powerful, and full of heroic spirit.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who originally planned to introduce themselves, were not prepared to say so. They were told by Zhang Jiao that people were talking too much. Even if their own historians did not remember it, Luo Shi would definitely come to investigate in the future. This scene But it will all be recorded in history.
No matter how much you say, you have to see the truth after all. Whether Zhang Jiao is as good as Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde said, you can only know after fighting.
Liu Bei looked at his two sworn brothers for a few moments. Both of his brothers were enemies of thousands of people. On a battlefield with only a few thousand people, they were most invincible.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. If you can capture Zhang Jiao directly, it doesn't matter what your military situation is or your military strategy is useless!
Tap tap tap.
There were a large number of cavalry on both sides. The horses started to stand still and then started to trot slowly.
On the verge of breaking out!
————
Jiao's pressure became more and more urgent, and the army was approaching hundreds of paces. Shao, Cao, Bei, and Zan were all in formation. Shao was persuaded by the princes and nobles to surrender. Jiao then raised his head and laughed wildly, saying: "Princes, generals, and ministers are what the world wants. I am from Hebei Province." Commoner, what more can the world do to me!"
Everyone was shocked by the arrogance in his words, and Zan angrily said: "If you don't surrender after being persuaded, you will only die under the white horse!"
When Jiao heard Zan's words, his laughter became more and more violent. He raised his head and pointed, his hair straight towards his crown, his voice became more thunderous, and he said: "White horse? You will never come back!" - "Book of the Later Han·Biography of Zhang Jiao"
