"Where's Zhang Yan? Send Zhang Yan with 30,000 troops to attack Bingzhou, cut off the connection between Luoyang and Bingzhou, and separate Han Meng and Ju Yi!" Cao Cao looked at the battle report about Yuan Shao in his hand, thought for a while and said, now Yuan Shu is powerful, so he must focus on the south. Yuan Shao has just led his troops back to Yecheng, which is also a huge hidden danger. As the saying goes, the best defense is offense. Now he can only use offense instead of defense. As long as he If you go to stir up the water in Bingzhou, Chengfeng will definitely get involved. Now Cao Cao doesn't know that Chengfeng has sent troops!
"The prime minister still needs to order Cao Ren to continue to guard Chenliu to guard against Yuan Shao's attack. In addition, he also needs to ask your majesty to issue an edict to let General Lu Bu lead Xuzhou troops to attack Yuan Shu!" said Xi Zhicai!
"What a good idea! Haha, it's a pity that our army doesn't have much rations now, otherwise we could attack Yuan Shu directly. Huainan is extremely rich!" Xun You said
"We can also ask Zhang Ji and others from Wancheng to send troops and take Wuguan directly to put pressure on Han Meng!" Liu Ye also said
"That's right! Let's do it like this!" Cao Cao smiled and nodded.
Not to mention how Cao Cao uses troops, Yuan Shu is really good at it now. The two great princes Cao Cao and Liu Bei have been defeated by him. Liu Biao was so scared that he did not move. As for Sun Jian, he had already secretly professed his vassal to him. Now Yuan Shu felt that he was the real one. The endowment of dragon and phoenix.
"Lord! Liu Bei launched an army to attack Huainan for no reason. Although he was defeated and retreated in the end, he couldn't bear this tone. I request to send troops to Xuzhou!" Ji Lingdao
"Yes, although Huainan is rich, it is in a strategic location and cannot support too many troops. It is better to defeat Xuzhou so that we can better strengthen our power!" Yan Xiang said
"Yes, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are villains. How can an immoral person occupy a rich land like Xuzhou? You still ask the lord to send troops to benefit the people of Xuzhou!" Zhang Xun also said.
"Okay! I heard that the former Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian's death was unknown. It must be Liu Bei's mastermind. Yan Xiang, please send people to Xuzhou to spread rumors. I will make Xuzhou chaotic first!" Yuan Shu said with a smile.
"promise!"
"Ji Ling!"
"exist!"
"Command 50,000 troops and set out on a selected day. Ji Ling will be the main general and Lei Bo and Chen Lan will be the deputy generals. We will send the troops to Xuzhou. I will personally send you food and grass!"
"No!" everyone responded
"Yan Xiang is accompanying the army as a counselor, and the affairs in Huainan will be left to Yang Hong and others. In addition, Zhang Xun will command the remaining troops in Huainan and pay close attention to the movements of Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao is not a loser. He just suffered a defeat at our hands. He must be there soon. There will be action!" Yuan Shu arranged
"My lord will surely die through fire and water!" Zhang Xun said, cupping his fists. He knew that Yuan Shu had given his entire rear area to him!
"Chen Ji, write a letter to Lu Bu and ask him to join forces to deal with Liu Bei. After that, he and I will form an alliance. We will capture many cities in Xuzhou based on our own abilities!" Yuan Shu said
"Yes!" Chen Ji said quickly. Although Yuan Shu has no knowledge and skills, and his personal charm cannot be compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu is definitely not a waste. It's just that his personality is too flamboyant and not sinister enough, so he quit the stage of historical hegemony early!
"Go ahead and take action. Food and grass must be prepared!" Yuan Shu said. He understood the importance of food and grass. When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, he often used food and grass to shackle the princes, which led to Sun Jian's defeat!
Zhao Yun led the troops and horses, lurking day and night, and quietly arrived at the boundary of Bingzhou without anyone noticing. Bingzhou is to the west of Jizhou and north of Luoyang City, across the Yellow River from Sili and other places. The previous generation of governor was Ding Yuan. , but this guy’s ambition and strength did not match, and he became the first foster father to be stabbed to death by Wen Hou Lu Bu! Since then, Bingzhou has been in chaos for a long time. Yuan Shaocheng, Zhang Yan, and all the remnants of Cao Cao's Yellow Turban Army stayed here. It was really chaotic. As for the land, it was basically all deserted. You might not be able to see a village even if you walk for a day. , as for the cities, they are also very dilapidated. Only Jinyang City is still a big city, at least there are many people! Now Ju Yi and others are in Jinyang City!
Yuan Shao had already sent troops to occupy Bingzhou, but it was easy to destroy but difficult to build. The people had been devastated by the war for many years and were bored. Now Ju Yi and others wanted to cry when they looked at Bingzhou. Originally, Yuan Shao had only a few people under his command, so they all relied on the support of aristocratic families. Do we want them to migrate here now? It is undoubtedly an idiot's dream, not to mention that Yuan Shu is so famous today that he seems to have surpassed Yuan Shao. This has caused some people to deviate in the direction of choosing spokespersons. Many wealthy families have already turned to Yuan Shu!
"General! It's really pointless for us to defend a poor Bingzhou now, isn't it?" Ma Yan looked at the map and said, if we wait any longer, if someone cuts off the grain road, or waits until heavy snow in winter blocks the road, it will really be a disaster. It’s so cold!
"Alas! What else can we do? I have tried my best to recruit the victims and refugees, but we don't have much food and grass. The Lord has not delivered the next batch of food and grass. I'm afraid we are powerless!" Ju Yi wry smile,
"Why don't we learn how to open up farmland?" Jiang Qi said with some uncertainty.
"I'm afraid Xiaoyao Hou won't give us time! Two generals, now that Zhao Yun has arrived at the city, our most important thing is to defend the city first!" Ju Yidao
"What? When did Zhao Yun come?" Ma Yan was shocked.
"I've been here a long time ago. I've already reported it to the lord. The most important thing now is to see how to deal with Zhao Yun!" Ju Yidao
The shadow of the famous tree of people, Zhao Yun is now famous, who dares to look down upon him in the world? Jiang Qi Mayan was even more frightened, "This general, what should we do? Everyone knows that the Chengfeng Army has unparalleled combat power. Our soldiers are far inferior!" Jiang Qi was also confused.
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Are we going to surrender? The general is not brave but wise. Cheng Fengjun was also raised by his parents. He also has two shoulders and a head. I don't believe it. He can survive with a knife!" Ju Yi said angrily
"We have Euphorbia warriors who are enough to compete with the world. Zhao Yun came from far away and was exhausted. He stayed day and night along the way. We will set up ambushes in key places first and give Zhao Yun a show of strength first!"
"It's the general!" Jiang Qi looked at each other and said
As soon as Zhao Yun and his troops arrived in Bingzhou, they felt that the atmosphere around them was wrong. There were a large number of scouts around. This was definitely abnormal. Now it seems that his situation has been completely exposed!
"Send two thousand Dragon God Army as scouts to quickly find out the situation in Bingzhou. In addition, try to contact the Beggar Gang and Green Gang in Bingzhou to let them pass the news in detail and timely! The rest of the troops rest in place and strengthen the patrol of the camp to guard against Yuan Shaojun. Come and rob the camp!" Zhao Yun passed down order after order in an orderly manner.
"Nuo!" After a silent night, Jiang Qi took his men and horses for a walk, but did not dare to actually rob the camp, because Zhao Yun's camp was brightly lit, and he could see mighty soldiers standing in the camp from a distance. And from time to time, laughter and shouts of death came from the camp. Jiang Qi was so surprised that he had to evacuate!
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yun ordered his troops and horses to attack Jiang Qi's camp with the sound of a cannon!
"Come and give me your name!" Zhao Yun said as the two armies met and fired arrows at each other to suppress their positions.
"Yuan Shao's subordinate, Jiang Qi!" Jiang Qi said. As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Yun. He saw that Zhao Yun was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was handsome, fair-faced, beardless, broad-faced, and majestic! Jiang Qi couldn't help but feel surprised. It seemed that he had met the real owner!
"Oh! It turns out to be General Jiang Qi! If you don't stay well in your city of Ye, why are you here in Bingzhou?" Zhao Yun knew that his adviser had not yet deployed his own arrangements, so he could only delay the attack for a while. I am not afraid, but if I can minimize the damage in battle, that would be better!
"Huh! Zhao Zilong, stop talking nonsense to delay time. This Bingzhou is the territory of our lord. Today you have launched an army to attack for no reason. It has already made people angry. Don't talk nonsense. I, Jiang Qi, am here today. If you want to enter Bingzhou, You have to do it once!" Jiang Qi said angrily.
"Insolent! Isn't it the king's land in the whole world? When did the land of this Han Dynasty become Yuan Shao's? I am the Unparalleled Marquis personally appointed by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Where can I go in the world of this Han Dynasty? If you are wise, please dismount your horse and surrender, otherwise I will definitely kill you!" Zhao Yun shouted loudly, and at the same time the army behind him shouted in unison, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" Jiang Qi's face changed drastically!
Jiang Qi knew that he was in the wrong and could not stand upright, so he stopped chatting with Zhao Yun and quickly arranged his soldiers in formation to prevent Zhao Yun from making a surprise attack. At the same time, he sent someone to inform Ju Yi and Mayan of the situation on the front line to prevent Zhao Yun from dividing his troops!
Zhao Yun squinted and saw Yuan Jun setting up a defensive formation, and he felt relieved. As long as he didn't fight hard with him, what Zhao Yun was most afraid of now was that Yuan Jun would fight hard when they met, so that the power of his own arms would be maximized!
"Cavalry attack, attack the left wing of Yuan's army, mainly shooting with bows and arrows!" Zhao Yun ordered. This time Cheng Feng did not equip himself with any generals. He only asked himself to bring his own troops. There was a serious lack of men to charge into the battle, but Zhao Yun I also understand that Chengfeng wants to hone his commanding ability, but it’s hard for this clever woman to make a meal without straw!
"The left wing is roundabout, the shield soldiers are forward, the spearmen are holding fast, and the archers are ready to release arrows!" Seeing the change in Zhao Yun's army, and it was obviously heading towards his left wing, Jiang Qi did not hesitate and quickly changed his formation. After all, the opposite side was Zhao Yun, he doesn’t dare to be careless!
"Infantry suppresses the formation, move forward a hundred steps!" In order to put maximum pressure on Jiang Qi, Zhao Yun adopted the tactics of overwhelming others with force. As soon as Zhao Yun's army moved, there were more than 10,000 elite troops. The murderous intent directly suppressed Jiang Qi. Somewhat panicked!
"Hold still! The archers release arrows! Shoot the cavalry!" Although Jiang Qi was calm and commanded wisely, Jiang Qi was one of the few commander-in-chief talents under Yuan Shao. Yan Liangwen Chou Hebei Sitingzhu These people are basically generals, and they are all good at charging into battle. If they were to lead a large army, they would be somewhat useless!
"Hmph! This Jiang Qi is quite capable!" Zhao Yun snorted coldly, knowing that things were not easy to handle. He lacked a strong general to open the gap, which was indeed a bit tricky! Jiang Qi's formation was watertight, leaving Zhao Yun with nowhere to start!
"Zhao Zilong from Changshan is nothing more than that! Haha." The original Ma Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhao Yun and Jiang Qi playing against each other.
"General, don't underestimate Zhao Yun. In my opinion, Zhao Yun hasn't figured out our details yet, so he is attacking tentatively. Once Zhao Yun gets the news about Bingzhou, we will be passive!" Xin Ping said, but Yuan Shao secretly set up Xin Ping. A big boss in Bingzhou, Xin Ping was originally a subordinate of Han Fu in history. In the second year of Chuping (191), Yuan Shao adopted the strategy of rebelling against the guests in order to seize Jizhou. He used Gongsun Zan's heroic troops to build momentum and sent senior cadres, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others jointly persuaded Han Fu to transfer the pastoral care of Jizhou to Yuan Shao, and Xin Ping served under Yuan Shao from then on.
"Sir is right, so what should we do now?"
"Zhao Yun has sent out scouts. On the one hand, we have to surround and kill these people with all our strength. The most important thing is that we must attack Zhao Yun immediately and do our best to kill his soldiers. Without the claws and claws of the tiger, there will be no harm. !" Xin commented
"Thank you sir! I am willing to be the vanguard and personally attack Zhao Yun. As for the scouts, I will leave it to you sir!" Ma Yan said with cupped hands.
"Okay, General Gao Yi, now three generals Zhang Wei, Zhang Nan and Jiaochu are also in the dark, and brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang are also rushing to help Bingzhou at night. We can annihilate Zhao Yun's tribe!" Xin commented
"I obey your order, sir!" Ma Yan said with cupped hands. This scholar was so ruthless. He didn't even know how to fight, but he had already thought of how to deal with the aftermath!
"Come here! Inform General Ju Yi and use all your strength to surround and kill Zhao Yun's scouts. Order Jiang Qi to act accordingly. Also tell General Ju Yi and General Jiang Qi that our army will launch a general offensive in two days. All soldiers must cooperate fully!" Xin Ping said with murderous intent
"promise!"
In the end, Zhao Yun did not go to war with Jiang Qi. The two sides tried it out and finally withdrew their troops from each other! Time passed quickly. Two days passed by in a flash. Zhao Yun's scouts were surrounded and killed in large numbers. Although the Dragon God Army was powerful in combat, they could not withstand the large number of people on the other side. They lost more than a thousand people without knowing it. This made Zhao Yun My heart is bleeding, but I have to send the scouts, otherwise I will become blind and deaf!
"The Dragon God Army uses hundreds of troops as a unit to search a radius of fifty miles. There is no need to expand the scope!" Zhao Yun said with a headache. This really frightened Xin Ping. Zhao Yun now vaguely felt that his opponent might not be Jiang Qi, because He smelled a conspiracy here!
"Report! General! Our scout is back!" Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard that this was the only scout who came back!
"General, our army was surrounded by a large number of Yuan soldiers. In order to cover us, most of the others died in the battle!"
"Damn it!" Zhao Yun said angrily. Although he had guessed it, he still couldn't accept it when he actually faced it.
"Is there any news about Yuan Jun?" Zhao Yun asked
"It has been detected that six groups of troops from Yuan's army are attacking our army, estimated to be fifty thousand. Yuan's army has laid a large number of traps around our army just to deal with our cavalry! And according to the brothers of the Beggar Gang, Yuan's army this time The coach is a scholar, not Ju Yi and others on the surface!" said the captain of the Scout Hundreds
"Okay! You guys go down and rest first!" Zhao Yun said. Looking at the people walking away, Zhao Yun felt a little bitter in his heart. It seems that Yuan Shao really thinks highly of himself, but I, Zhao Yun, am not a soft persimmon. Now that I'm here, then Just stay here!
"Send the order, the army's horses will not leave their saddles and their men will not take off their armor, and be on guard in all directions!"
"Yes, General!"
"Kill!" As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, he heard a cry of killing. Fortunately, the Chengfeng Army had excellent military quality and did not panic when it suddenly encountered investment!
"The cavalry will go out with me!" Zhao Yun said with a smile. He is finally here. As long as someone comes to fight, it will be easy. The most uncomfortable thing is waiting!
"Go in and kill an entire army, and you will be rewarded with five thousand gold. Whoever kills Zhao Yun will be rewarded with a thousand gold!" Yuan Jun shouted as he rushed forward.
"The infantry will form a formation on the spot. Don't attack easily. Rely on the main camp as a backing to hold off Yuan Jun! The cavalry will attack with me!" Zhao Yun didn't want to sit back and wait for death. He wanted to use killing to stimulate the soldiers and vent his frustration!
"Soldiers, our army has never been underestimated since we went on the expedition. Yuan Jun underestimated us so much and will be severely punished. Soldiers, pick up your swords and guns, follow me into battle, and fight for the dead brothers. Revenge!" Zhao Yun jumped on his horse and said with a spear.
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" Waves of sound spread in all directions, and the murderous intent contained in the words made the attacking Yuan Jun slow down!
"Kill!" Looking at the people getting closer and closer, Zhao Yun let out a tiger roar, and the snow shadow under his crotch neighed excitedly!
"Surround and kill the cavalry!" Zhang Nan shouted, with Jiao Touch, commanding Zhang Wei to charge towards Zhao Yun. Ma Yan also led Yuan Jun's only three thousand cavalry to move towards Zhao Yun. These four people planned to trap and kill Zhao Yun!
"Okay! While Zhao Yun is away, send an order to Jiang Qi to send troops to attack Zhao Yun's camp directly!" Xin Ping was in a good mood and said to the ordering soldiers.
"Hmph! Kill with me!" Zhao Yun waved his spear, and the cavalry behind him automatically formed a cone-shaped formation, with Zhao Yun at the head, tearing apart Yuan Jun's formation with all their strength!
Yuan Jun attacked in a hurry and did not have much time to arrange his lineup. Zhao Yun broke into the formation directly. The cavalry was fast and killed them in an instant. As soon as the two armies came into contact, Yuan Jun fell down like snow hitting the scorching sun. As Zhao Yun swung his spear freely, Yuan Jun felt a chill on his neck. Many people only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and then lost consciousness!
"Fire the arrows!" Zhao Yun roared. The cavalry behind him were all in uniform. They hung their swords on their saddles and then took out their crossbows. They were all bows and arrows without crossbows. Zhao Yun chose the Dragon God Army and required that he must be able to fire two stone bows. Everyone asked. It is equipped with strong bows. Now Zhao Yun's entire army is standing on a high ground, surrounded by Yuan's army. It is a good time for long-range strikes!
"Whoosh!" After a shower of arrows, Yuan Jun became a sieve, and Zhang Wei's men immediately became targets. Before they could rush in front of Zhao Yun, they lost four to five thousand men!
"Attack from all sides, I want to see how many bows and arrows you have!" Xin Ping said fiercely, commanding Yuan Jun to spread out, intending to use up all Zhao Yun's bows and arrows! I want to see if you, Zhao Yun, are smart enough. Xin Ping squinted his eyes and stared at the battlefield. At the same time, he sent someone to notify Brother Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to cut off Zhao Yun's retreat!
