Lu Bu's army is approaching, and the vanguard has arrived outside Fanyang City. Who is coming?
The vanguard general Zhao Yun was the Changshan Zhao Zilong who was so famous in Xiaoguan that he was surrounded by thousands of Cao troops and killed him as if he was in an uninhabited land.
The deputy general is Yan Liang Wen Chou, the former general of the 700,000-strong Northern Army and the number one or two figure in the Sitingzhu of Hebei Province.
This lineup is enough to make the 50,000-strong army in Zhuoxian City tremble. No matter how many troops there are, the name of Yan Liangwen Chou alone is enough to make people tremble in fear in the Northern Army. Add in the fierce general Zhao Zilong, who Don't be afraid.
Not to mention ordinary sergeants, even the military lords, Sima, captains and even the leading captain were restless.
Some people are born to be protagonists. They don’t need to say too much. Showing the banner is enough to cause strong psychological pressure.
What's more, among the forward troops, there is also Lin Mo and Lin Yunwen, who have manipulated the likes of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce, and changed the ownership of the Northern Kingdom with just one move. It is rumored that they know the magic of Six Ding and Six Armor and can drive away the demons with just one move. Fight ghosts and gods.
So much so that there is now a saying that Lu Bu is the leader in military power and Lin Mo is the leader in strategy. The two of them alone lead the top of the mountains. This pair of son-in-law and son-in-law have become an insurmountable mountain in the minds of the ministers and generals of the Han Dynasty.
The worst thing is that the Chinese army led by Lu Bu will arrive at the Fanyang front line soon. By that time, how can this small Zhuo County withstand the torment of these father-in-laws.
For a time, there was a roar of wind and cranes in the town of Zhuo County, and all the vegetation and trees were covered with soldiers, so that everyone was in danger.
If this situation is allowed to develop, Zhuoxian County will collapse on its own.
The seriousness of the problem exceeded Yuan Xi's imagination. If he didn't take some measures, he would have no choice but to be caught.
So, he quickly summoned all the generals in the army to the military training field for pre-war mobilization.
In February in the south of the Yangtze River, you can actually feel the breath of spring, but in the north, especially in the bitter cold places on the border of Youzhou, the cold wind is like a steel knife that hurts people's faces, and the heavy snow and the vast land , always makes people feel melancholy.
Yuan Xi wore armor and walked to the general stage of the martial arts arena, his white cloak rustling.
I don't know whether it was because of the cold weather or the fact that this kind of battle seemed to have no suspense in everyone's eyes, which made everyone's bodies tremble involuntarily.
This scene made Yuan Xi unhappy from the bottom of his heart. However, the reason why the soldiers were like this was that in addition to being afraid of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhao Yun Lin Mo, his own talent as a commander was not outstanding enough to make people feel at ease.
Another person, Yuan Tan is here today. Even if the soldiers are afraid of war, they are not like this.
"Everyone, don't look at the fierceness of the Lu army now. In fact, they are already at the end of the war. I will not hide it from you today. I have an alliance with the imperial court Sikong Cao Cao. Once the Lu army dares to use troops against Zhuoxian, Xuchang's Cao army will advance. In Yecheng and Bingzhou, Xiahou Dun will also attack Jizhou.
Even Zhang Yan in the Taihang Mountains has accepted the imperial edict and will definitely take action, so..."
Yuan Xi paused, pulled back his messy cloak, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The day Lu Jun takes action, Lu Bu will be defeated!"
Under normal circumstances, at this time, the soldiers would shout in unison: Victory! Must win! Must win!
However, after Yuan Xi finished shouting, no one seemed to respond to him except the howling wind.
Gathering the morale of the military has never been a simple matter, otherwise the princes would not have worked so hard to cultivate the three armies.
The frightened generals would not change their mentality just because of Yuan Xi's heroic words.
The reason is simple, because they believe that Lin Mo is a mythical figure and must have no plans left. How could he expose so many problems?
Either you, Yuan Xi, are lying; or, he has already thought of a way to deal with Cao Cao, so he will concentrate on dealing with Youzhou.
Of course, there is another reason for the shaky military morale that cannot be ignored, that is, in their eyes, this battle could have been avoided.
You refused to see Guo Tu for half a year in Zhuojun, and you turned a blind eye to the orders from Yecheng. If you were willing to obey Yuan Shang's orders, why would they attack in a large scale?
No one responded, and Yuan Xi was embarrassed. At the same time, he also realized that making cakes to satisfy his hunger would not work.
However, the morale of the military could not be lost. If one plan failed, another one would come up. This time, he wanted to start from the profit side.
"Brothers, you should all know that in the current Northern Kingdom, my third brother is nominally the leader of the Northern Kingdom, but the actual person in charge is Lu Linweng's son-in-law. They are eradicating dissidents in the army, including generals above the rank of military prince. And empty.”
Yuan Xi sighed with pain on his face and said in a deep voice: "When I return to Yecheng, their son-in-law will probably not be spared, but so what if you wait, the lessons from the past are right in front of you, think about it, what are the consequences of surrendering?" .”
This time it seemed to have some effect.
The soldiers began to comment in whispers, all accusing Lu Lin and Weng's son-in-law of being dishonest.
It is understandable for them to think so. After all, except for a few people who rose to power through nepotism, most of the generals in the army have real talents, and they have obtained their military exploits by killing the enemy's heads among thousands of troops.
Just because of your words, you can change it at your request, and a whole family can live on this salary. Isn't this driving people to death?
At this time, Yuan Xi also walked off the general stage and came to the middle of the generals on the martial arts field. "Brothers, I can't guarantee anything else, but I, Yuan Xi, am willing to share weal and woe with my brothers. At this time of crisis, , please give me a helping hand."
He held his hands toward everyone and said in a very low posture, almost pleading.
These are all big bosses. The fourth and third sons of the Yuan family can still say such words with their own aura, which indeed gives them a sense of intimacy.
"Young master, don't worry. I, Wu Er, have no other friends. If you treat me with sincerity, I will trust you with my life. If anyone dares to do harm to you, I will risk my life at the worst."
If someone takes the lead, others will join in. Then, they will start shouting "We must win" sparsely, and finally, everyone will shout in unison.
It can be regarded as a reluctant and temporary stabilization of the morale of the army.
Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. It was really difficult to lead troops.
He also knew that the current situation in Youzhou was very bad. Originally, the 50,000 troops in Zhuojun City were scattered in Shanggu, Yuyang, Beiping and Liaoxi counties to guard against sneak attacks by Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other tribes. Loot.
This time, Lu Bu's army came to the border, and he had no choice but to recall all his troops. Now, if the aliens did something, he would have no way to fight back.
The only hope is that Cao Cao must keep his word. If he holds Lu Bu back, he must take advantage of it. This is also his only way to survive.
He does not have Yuan Tan's military talent and prestige, but he is not as innocent and cute as Yuan Shang. He knows that it is impossible to defeat Lu Bu with his own ability.
Therefore, we can only rely on Lu Bu to withdraw from the borders of Youzhou when there is chaos in the rear, allowing the Northern Kingdom to form a stable confrontation. This is also his way to survive.
