"Kill!" Liu Bei was chatting with Guan Yu in the camp. A cry of killing suddenly appeared, leaving Liu and Guan at a loss.
"What's going on? Could it be that Yuan Shu sent troops?" Liu Bei hesitated. He and Guan Yu had been stationed here with their soldiers for more than a month. There was no news from Yuan Shu, and the army never left the city. Both of them had agreed with They are the same, keeping each other in check, but never fighting!
"Brother, be careful, I'll go out and take a look!" After Master Guan finished speaking, he left the camp carrying his Qinglong Yanyue Sword!
When Guan Yu came out, he was a little confused. He didn't know when the front of the camp was densely packed with Huainan troops. He saw no less than 50,000 people neatly lined up in front. A general at the front was carrying a three-pointed sword. With a two-edged sword, a horse at his hip, and piercing eyes, he is truly a fierce general. The person coming is none other than Yuan Shu’s number one general in Huainan, Ji Ling!
"Liu Bei, villager, who gave you the courage to invade our Huainan territory! Be careful that your General Ji Ling's broadsword does not recognize anyone!" Ji Ling saw some movement in Liu Bei's army, so he expected Liu Bei to come out. Just a big curse!
"That's unreasonable!" Liu Bei was so disgusted when he heard this. He claimed to be the Queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, a noble clan member of the Han Dynasty, and a relative of the emperor, but he was called a villager here! He was also angry at the moment
"According to the emperor's edict, Huainan Yuan Shu has a disobedient heart and came here to attack! Ji Ling, you are helping the emperor to commit evil, it is not a pity to die! If you lead the troops to surrender now, I can still intercede for you in front of the emperor!"
"Haha! Villager Liu Bei, your joke is not funny at all! Who doesn't know that Cao Cao is now using the emperor to order the princes? Don't say that you and I don't believe this edict, even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it!" Ji Ling! sarcastically
"Hmph, it's useless to talk more. If you don't surrender, the city will be destroyed and no chickens or dogs will be left!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, and Danfeng's eyes were full of murderous intent, because this Ji Ling didn't respect the emperor's orders!
"I'm afraid you won't make it!" Ji Ling shouted, holding a three-pointed two-edged sword, and killed Liu Bei who just came out!
"Liu Bao is dead, take my sword!" Ji Ling shouted loudly, and the horse rushed directly into the formation. Guan Yu did not hesitate, raised his legs, and the yellow gelding under his crotch also came out of the formation, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand came forward to meet him!
"Scandium!" The two big knives collided hard together. Ji Ling felt his arms go numb and his jaw almost burst open. He suddenly realized that his strength was not as good as this red-faced man!
"Who is coming? Tell me your name. My men will not kill unknown rats!" Ji Ling said, while shaking his hands without leaving a trace to relieve the numbness in his arms!
"Guan Yu Guan Yunchang!" the second master said proudly
"Haha" Ji Ling sneered, feeling a little scared. After all, after the three heroes of Hulao Pass fought against Lu Bu, Liu Guanzhang's reputation has become much more famous, especially Guan Yu, who is the master among the three!
"Seeing that you are a man, today I will meet you, the legendary Guan Yunchang!" After saying that, Ji Ling took action first, his horse rushed forward, and the three-pointed two-edged sword rushed towards Guan Yu's facade, causing the people behind him to rush. Applaud!
"Well done!" Looking at the stunning sword in front of him, Guan Yu not only did not panic, but felt excited in his heart. He knew that this was because of his reaction after meeting a master. As soon as Guan Yu swung his broadsword, Ji Ling felt as if a lightning flashed in the air, and the broadsword in his hand trembled. It turned out that Guan Yu had used the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to push aside his own three-pointed two-edged sword! Ji Ling didn't wait for the move to mature. He waved his backhand and wiped the sword towards Guan Yu's neck again!
A gleam flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and his breathing tightened. He didn't expect Ji Ling to be so skilled in martial arts. He quickly clamped his legs on the horse and came across an iron bridge. His body was forced to lie on the horse's back! At the same time, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand was slashed from bottom to top, slashing towards Ji Ling's face before he could make a move! A burst of murderous intent came over, and the wind brought by the sword made Ji Ling's face hurt. Ji Ling did not dare to neglect, and he could not take back the sword in his hand, so he had to take the reins and take the war horse to the side. It was dangerous and dangerous. Escaped Guan Yu's sword!
"Haha!" Looking at the embarrassed Ji Ling, Guan Yu also laughed. Although it was only a few moves, they were extremely dangerous. If he were not careful, he would die on the spot. But now it seems that he still has the upper hand!
Hearing Guan Yu's laughter, Ji Ling became angry and stepped forward. In the blink of an eye, the two of them fought for thirty rounds without deciding the outcome! The only general beside Liu Bei is Guan Yu. Although he has some strength, compared with this group of generals, he is a bit lacking. Looking at the two people competing in the field, Liu Bei wants to recruit generals more and more!
Unknowingly, after eighty rounds of fighting, the two of them realized that neither could do anything to the other, so they had to return to their respective battles. Ji Ling ordered his lieutenants Xun Zheng, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan to attack, and Liu Bei fought. The two armies fought hard, and Guan Yu's formation killed Xun Zheng. However, Liu Bei's soldiers were not as good as the Huainan army, and they were defeated. They retreated thirty miles. Ji Ling took the opportunity. After advancing, the two armies finally rejected each other. Ji Ling asked Yuan Shu for credit and also asked for the next battle plan. After all, the boundary of Xuzhou is beyond!
Just when Liu Bei and Ji Ling were fighting, Cheng Yu and Xu Huang also led their troops to kill Runan quietly. Xu Huang and Xu Gongming were originally Yang Feng's generals. Cheng Feng also wanted to poach him last time, but this Yang Feng finally chose to defect to Cao Cao. Although he defected to Lu Buna, Xu Huang was retained by Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie. Now Xu Huang is a cavalry captain of the Han Dynasty.
"General Xu, do you have any questions?" Cheng Yu looked at the young general in front of him and asked. In fact, he didn't understand why Cao Cao wanted to exclude Xu Huang and lead his troops this time. Did he want to get rid of Liu Xie with his own hands? person?
"Sir, now we are leaving Xuchang and heading south to attack Runan. The distance is hundreds of miles, but we have never seen any scouts along the way. Doesn't Yuan Shu have no defense at all?" Xu Huang said, this It can be said that it has been smooth sailing along the way. Not to mention fighting, I didn't even see a single soldier.
"Haha, the general doesn't know something!" Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly, "Runan was massacred twice by the Yellow Turban Army. Coupled with the plague and famine in the world, there are not many people who can survive. Not to mention those government soldiers! Today's Runan is still the people who were moved here by the Yuan family themselves, and it has now returned to the appearance of a big city!"
"Alas! What a pity for the people of the world! If these princes are half as good as Xiaoyao Hou, then the world will be peaceful!" Xu Huang sighed, and at the same time, a young figure emerged in his mind. It was a man who gave up his life to save the victims. The commander-in-chief who chased the enemy was another marquis who cared about the world!
Cheng Yu frowned, a little helpless. It seemed that Xu Huang had a good feeling for Cheng Feng. "How does General Xu feel about Xiaoyao Hou?" Cheng Yu asked casually.
"Great talent! The commander-in-chief of the revival of the Han Dynasty, as long as he is here, the Han Dynasty will be there!" Xu Huang said without thinking. After all, Chengfeng Zhao Yun is now called the new generation of imperial twins. In the hearts of all soldiers, he is He is a benchmark, and Xu Huang admires this person who is only a few years older than him from the bottom of his heart!
"Isn't this a bit too much? After all, the emperor is still here?" Cheng Yu said with some displeasure.
"Huh! Sir is also a pillar of talent, a well-educated man, and knows all about military tactics and tactics. Don't you understand that this is too much to say?" Xu Huang also snorted coldly. He had a thorough understanding of Cao Cao's thoughts, so he stayed here by himself. It was simply to protect the emperor. If he hadn't been living under someone else's roof now, he might have killed Cheng Yu long ago!
"You!" Cheng Yu was furious and was shocked. It seems that Xu Huang is not so easily deceived! Many people think that Cao Cao's five great counselors are just pure scholars, but this Cheng Yu is both civil and military!
Cheng Yu, courtesy name Zhongde, was born in Dong'a, Dongjun, Yanzhou (now Dong'a County, Shandong Province). He was a counselor, famous official and general of Cao Wei from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period. His real name was Cheng Li, but he changed his name to Cheng Yu because he held the sun in Mount Tai in his dream. He once led the people to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Dong'a. In the third year of Chuping (192), he was conquered by Cao Cao as Shouzhang Ling. From then on, he gave him advice and fought in all directions. When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu stayed behind to stop Lu Bu and Chen Gong's armies, and saved the three cities. Due to their merits, they were named Dongping Prime Minister and stationed in Fan County. After Cao Cao moved Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xudu, he appointed Cheng Yu as Shangshu, and later as General Dongzhonglang, leading the prefect of Jiyin and overseeing Yanzhou affairs. After defeating Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, he was appointed General Fenwu and granted the title of Marquis Anguo Ting. In the first year of Huangchu (220 years), Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, worshiped Cheng Yu as a guard, and was granted the title of Marquis of Anxiang. He died in the same year at the age of eighty. Cao Pi also shed tears for him and gave him a posthumous title of General Chariot and Cavalry, with the posthumous title Su. Cheng Yu is resourceful and good at making decisions on important matters. He has a violent personality and gets along with many people. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, only three people, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren and Yuan Huan, were evaluated as brave.
Cheng Yu clenched his big hand tightly, his fingers turned white, and the sword in his hand made a clanking sound. He squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Huang, wishing he could kill him with one sword. Now Cheng Yu was completely sure to kill Xu Huang, but He still hasn't received Cao Cao's order. Should he subdue Xu Huang this time or take the opportunity to get rid of him? Now seeing Xu Huang's attitude, Cheng Yu has already sentenced Xu Huang to death in his heart!
"What? You want to fight me? Do you dare?" Xu Huang looked at Cheng Yu's expressions and movements and sneered. Although he was not afraid of Cheng Yu and was sure that he could escape unscathed, he didn't know that his soldiers had How many people are Cao Cao's men? If they kill Cheng Yu themselves, will they cause trouble for the emperor?
"You also know that the enemy is at hand. If you continue to make trouble out of nothing, then I, the general, will go to the emperor and send you to accompany Prime Minister Cao's late father!" Xu Huang sneered, and the smell of gunpowder between the two became stronger and stronger!
"Report! Report to General, the whereabouts of enemy troops have been found thirty miles away from the camp. The number is unknown and the target is unknown!" Just when the relationship between the two became increasingly tense and they started fighting if they disagreed, the scout came to report,
"Huh? What's going on? Go find out quickly. If you still don't know anything next time, you don't have to come back!" Cheng Yu said murderously, obviously taking out the anger he received from Xu Huang on Xiaobing. On your body!
"Come here! Prepare your horses! I, the general, want to go out and have a look in person!" Xu Huang also didn't want to be with Cheng Yu.
"Kill!" Before he could leave the camp, Xu Huang heard waves of shouts of killing coming from all directions, one after another, as if there were thousands of troops surrounding him!
"Stabilize the position! The central army remains stationary. The left and right armies move closer to the central army. Anyone who moves around will be killed! Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be killed! Anyone who makes a loud noise will be executed! Anyone who disobeys military orders will be executed!" Xu Huang shouted loudly He said, cutting down several of them in a row, even Cheng Yu couldn't help but nod, this Xu Huang is really a talented general!
"Attack! Charge in!" Seeing that Cao's army was in some confusion, Yuan Shu personally commanded the army and charged in from the left wing. At the same time, Yuan Shu ordered his general Zhang Xun's cavalry to attack Xu Huang's middle army!
Yuan Jun was extremely rich. Although his equipment was not as good as Cheng Feng's, it was similar to Cao Cao's. In addition, Yuan Jun's food was good, so these men were fat and strong, and they had a slight advantage against Cao Cao's army.
Although Xu Huang gave the order in time, the army was tired of marching for many days, and coupled with the hasty battle, it suddenly fell into a disadvantage. Cao Cao did not equip Xu Huang with any tiger and leopard cavalry this time, resulting in Xu Huang's army The military order could not be conveyed for a while. Cheng Yu was happy to see Xu Huang making a fool of himself, but said nothing, but kept cutting heads with the sword in his hand!
Xu Huang personally carried a big ax and charged left and right to block Yuan Shu's attack. At this time, any strategy was useless. The only way to ensure that the central army was not in chaos and the flag did not fall was to ensure that the flag was knocked down by Yuan Shu. But it’s hard to clean up the situation!
"Listen to my order and fire the arrow! The shield soldiers press forward fifty steps!" Xu Huang said angrily, not understanding what he said. When did Yuan Shu make a fool of himself!
"Fire arrows! Attack with the whole army! Just shoot and hurt, no need to kill!" Yuan Shu ordered his men to shout. This made Cheng Yu frown. As expected, Yuan Shu is the most difficult to deal with. He is really a person with no limits! In war, commanders are not afraid of soldiers dying. What they are most afraid of is that soldiers are injured, because not only do they have to send people to take care of them, but their morale is also affected. Therefore, in ancient times, there were very few wounded soldiers, and they were basically killed with one hit, even if they were teammates just now!
"You bastard!" Xu Huang was furious, but he was helpless. Seeing Yuan Jun's archers attacking, the people on his side fell one after another. Even though these people were Cao Cao's troops, Xu Huang felt a little unbearable. After all, They are all common people of the Han Dynasty!
"General, we should withdraw!" Cheng Yu said with a sigh. Although he didn't like Xu Huang, he also knew that if he left all these people here, it would be hard to explain to Cao Cao when he went back!
"Okay!" Xu Huang smiled bitterly and felt like crying. The first time he led an army, he was beaten to the bottom. Seeing groups of people being knocked down, Xu Huang understood that failure would only happen sooner or later. If you retreat now, you can retain more troops!
"The rear army becomes the front army, and the whole army retreats!" Xu Huang said holding his breath. Although it didn't last long, he lost one-third of his troops in this moment!
"Want to leave?" Yuan Shu touched the blood on his sword and said with a sinister smile, "Instruct the rear army to attack. I want to keep all these people here!" The murderous intent in his words made the surrounding soldiers tremble. A chill!
"Boom!" Xu Huang was retreating. He had just counted the supplies and troops. Before he could say anything, there was another burst of artillery. Then he saw a group of Yuan troops coming from the front, and Yuan Shu personally led his troops to kill from the rear. Exactly two attacks!
Xu Huang was brave and went to kill the general with a big ax himself, but was held back by Zhang Xun and others. Yuan Shu tried his best to kill Cao Jun. At this time, Cheng Yu no longer looked like a scholar. His long hair was flying and his face was full of murderous intent. A general who leads the charge!
"Sprint with all your strength and break through the encirclement!" Cheng Yu acted as the arrow, and Xu Huang pushed back, leading Cao's army to dig deep, and finally killed Yuan Shu when he joined forces!
Looking at Cao Jun walking away, Yuan Shu smiled coldly and issued the order to attack with all his strength. He bit Cao Jun and refused to let them have any time to rest. In order to delay Yuan Shu's pursuit, Xu Huang and Cheng Yu threw money, food and materials everywhere along the way. They are all, but Yuan Shu is focused on chasing and killing them, only letting the two of them curse!
Xu Huang couldn't remember how many times this was the first time he had broken out of the encirclement. Yuan Shu behind him was chasing him like a wild dog. The fight was so dark that night that he didn't know where he was!
"Huh!" Cheng Yu let out a long breath, he was finally safe, "Quickly investigate and see where this is, and before Yuan Jun arrives, quickly make a fire and cook!"
"General! We have lost all our food and grass! This is the northern suburb of Runan County, and further north is Yingchuan!" A veteran said, this is his hometown, he will dream about it in his dreams, and he will never forget it!
"What a Yuan Shu, he actually beat us back!" Xu Huang clenched his fist hard, very angry, the beating was too humiliating!
"Report! Yuan Shu's army is less than ten miles away from us! And" the scout glanced at Cheng Yu and did not dare to speak.
"And what?"
"Yuan Shu has sent troops to cut off our return route, and now we are alone!"
"What?" Xu Huang's face changed drastically. He would never have thought of this. Everyone knew that Yuan Shu was a idiot, how could he be so powerful!
"Haha, it's true! There is no empty scholar under the famous name. No matter how mediocre and incompetent Yuan Shu is, he is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse!" Cheng Yu said with a bitter smile. Yuan Shu could become the first prince in the late Han Dynasty not only because of his With the help of the Yuan family, in history, the Yuan family helped Yuan Shao more, and Yuan Shu basically developed by himself! But now the Yuan family is helping Yuan Shu more, which makes him even more domineering!
"Mr. Cheng, what do you think we should do now?" People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Xu Huang really had no choice. Now it's okay to let him charge into the battle. He is not good at food, otherwise he wouldn't Join the army just for a bite to eat!
"Let's find out the enemy's situation first! Yuan Shu is trying his best to surround and kill us this time. It seems that we have become the target of Yuan Shu's power and anger!" Cheng Yu said helplessly
"Send the order, kill the injured horses and eat the horse meat. Scout the terrain quickly and prepare for a breakout!" Cheng Yu thought for a while and gave the order.
"yes!"
Yuan's army surrounded him from all sides, Cheng Yu and Xu Huang could only choose a suitable place to hold on, and at the same time report the situation to Cao Cao and ask for support!
