"Lord! General Zhao Yun has received news that the first battle in Bingzhou has injured the enemy generals Ma Yan, Zhang Wei, Zhang Nan, Jiao Chu, surrounded and killed 18,000 Yuan troops, and harvested countless iron weapons. Now General Zhao is sending people to transport them back to Changshan!" Guo! Jia looked at the battle report in his hand and said happily
"Where are our casualties?"
"Five hundred and eighty people were slightly injured, 300 people were seriously injured, and two thousand people were killed in battle!" Guo Jiadao said, although the damage was not serious, he knew that these soldiers were Cheng Feng's thorns in the side, and it hurt to hurt each one!
"It's inevitable that the earthen pot will be broken on the well! In war, there are no immortals! It's just a pity for this good man!" Cheng Feng sighed, "Give comfort to the injured soldiers, and the pensions of the dead soldiers must be sent to Go to their home, there can be no delay in this matter, and no cheating!"
"No!" Guo Jia said solemnly. Although he was cynical and usually dissolute, he was more serious about such important matters than anyone else!
"Zilong, Zilong! The training has just begun! Tell him the news about Zhang Yan's dispatch of troops, and also tell him that the grain and grass transportation route has been cut off, so that he can rely on his own efforts and support war with war!" Cheng Feng laughed. Tao, no matter how you look at it, you look like an old fox!
"This! Isn't it a little too difficult to be a man? Aren't you afraid that Zilong can't handle it?" Guo Jia said in surprise. In his opinion, some of these things are beyond Zhao Yun's ability, especially since Zhao Yun is leading soldiers, not Will!
"It doesn't matter! I have confidence in Zilong. Even Zhao Yun can securely capture Bingzhou and give Yuan Shao a blow!"
"this?"
"Fengxiao, why don't we make a bet? Let's bet on whether Zhao Yun can win Bingzhou!"
"Okay! It's a bet!" Guo Jia gritted his teeth and said, "If I win, you won't restrict me from drinking. If I lose, I will stop drinking!"
"It's a deal! We can't change it casually like last time!"
"Haha" the two laughed, and the laughter spread to everyone. Although the guard didn't know what happened, the laughter meant it was not a bad thing! Unlike Cheng Feng's place, the atmosphere here is a bit awkward for Yuan Shao!
"How did this Xin Ping happen? Seven generals were defeated in the first battle?" Yuan Shao didn't know how many times he turned around. He looked at the report on the table and roared several times!
"Lord, calm down! Zhao Yun is an experienced soldier and the Chengfeng army is well-equipped. Our army is at a disadvantage in the first confrontation. This is completely normal!" Jushu said.
"It's normal. The strength of the troops is already five to one. It's still an encirclement and annihilation war launched by our side. We still lost the battle. How will we fight in the future?" Yuan Shao gasped.
"This" Jushou was stunned and really didn't know how to answer the question. There was nothing wrong with what Yuan Shao said. There would be no need to fight in the future, but the physical fitness of this soldier can be improved. There is still hope for the future!
"It seems that Bingzhou is not easy to defend!" Yuan Shao said decadently. He had no shortage of troops, but why couldn't he defeat Chengfeng?
"The second young master met with Lu Bu in Huainan to deal with Liu Bei together. Do we also want a share of the pie?" Jushu said.
"I won't go! Now that Cao Cao's army is moving south, Yuan Shu will inevitably divide his troops without any skills. He will definitely ask me for help when the time comes. Yan Liang will send troops to intimidate Chen Liu, and Wen Chou will attack Qingzhou secretly. If Cao Cao does not withdraw his troops, we will cut off his retreat. !" Yuan Shao thought for a while and said
"Now Chengfeng occupies Youzhou, Liaodong, and half of Jizhou. If he occupies Bingzhou, we will have nothing to do north of the Yellow River!" Jushou sighed, admiring Chengfeng even more in his heart. He is a ruthless man who conquered the Three Continents without any fanfare or show off. I am afraid that there are not many big men who can match him now!
"Hmph! Sir, don't forget, Chengfeng also has the entire prairie. The Mobei Xiongnu, Xianbei and other tribes have all submitted to Chengfeng and provided him with high-quality war horses. This is also a factor that cannot be underestimated!" Yuan Shaodao
"Cao Cao ordered Zhang Xiu to capture Wuguan. Can we take the opportunity to send troops from Luoyang to attack Wancheng, then capture Cao Cao's war horse base, and then attack Xuchang. The lord's army will then land directly from Guandu, attack Chenliu, and destroy it in one fell swoop Cao Cao's Yanzhou, the remaining Qingzhou and Xuzhou, let the four of them fight!" Jushu said.
"What about Chengfeng? This person will never give up the opportunity easily. Will he take the opportunity to attack us?"
"This is inevitable, but it will take time for us to complete it. It will take about three years to complete. Although Chengfeng is invincible in terms of military strength, he does not have the support of aristocratic families and only relies on poor people. His capital accumulation is slower than ours. If there are too many, I'm afraid we will be the number one prince in three years' time!" Ju said.
"It depends on the situation. Let's settle the matter in Bingzhou first. If it can't be done, then we will save people and lose territory! Now let's see how the war between the second brother and Cao Cao goes!" Yuan Shao had a headache.
"Yes! Lord!"
"Dong dong dong!" The sound of war drums spread in all directions. Zhao Yun was still leading the way, wearing a white helmet and white armor, and his snow shadows snorted. The calm before the war made the atmosphere a bit depressing!
"My fellow soldiers, now that Yuan Shao's army has cut off our army's retreat, Cao Cao has come to join in the fun and sent Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army to pick peaches on the way. What do you think we should do?" Zhao Yundao said
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The Dragon God Army's swords were dancing wildly, shouting in unison
"All officers and men listen to the order. This battle is not about occupying the city. It is about killing and injuring the enemy's actual strength. Whether it is Cao's army or Yuan's army, as long as it is not our Changshan army, they will be killed without mercy!" Zhao Yun said with murderous intent!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Attack the entire army! The target is Dang County!" Zhao Yun shouted. Jinyang City was built by Ding Yuan for many years. Although it has been somewhat abandoned in recent years, the city is still high and the pond is deep. Zhao Yun knew that he could not capture the city with his own troops. It's cheap and can only rely on the terrain to fight the battle of annihilation. Zhang Yanyuan is exhausted, so he is the most suitable candidate!
Watching Zhao Yun go away, Xin Ming and the Lu family brothers broke out in a cold sweat, because no one knew where Zhao Yun was going. With the Changshan cavalry, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang could not take any advantage in the field battle. Arrived!
"Quickly send a message to the two generals Lu, telling them that Zhao Yun's army has turned back, and asking them to be careful and let Zhao Yun go back if necessary. They must bring back the men and horses!" Jushou frowned and said, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, but no Know what's wrong!
Zhang Yan is now full of ambition, leading an army of 30,000 people forward slowly, taking in many refugees along the way, and also promoting the policies of Cao Cao's army, but he has gained a lot!
"Have the scouts come back?" Zhang Yan asked
"Zhao Yun and Ju Yi are fighting. Both sides have sent a large number of troops. Our scouts dare not get too close. We don't know the outcome of their battle yet!"
"Report! General! Yuan's army intercepts Zhao Yun's return route, and Zhao Yun's army retreats to Shangdang County!"
"What? Zhao Yun came to Shangdang County?" Zhang Yan was shocked. His goal this time was Shangdang County. What was going on? Why did Zhao Yun suddenly come to beat him? Then Zhang Yan was furious, was she worse than Ju Yi? It’s really annoying!
"Find out Zhao Yun's movements for me, and the entire army will be on alert! The vanguard army must find out what happened before reporting it!" The more Zhang Yan thought about it, the more frightened she became. There was no normal person under Cheng Feng, so the two of them killed Ju Yi together. , wouldn’t it be delicious if we divided the states equally!
"Secure Shangdang County first, defend on the spot, and see what Zhao Yun can do to us!" Zhang Yan ordered
"yes!"
"Sir! What do you think Yuan Shu should do about this matter?" Lu Bu in Xiapi City read Yuan Shu's letter, and his heart started to move. He was really tempted. He wanted to work together to destroy Liu Bei. He was excited just thinking about it!
"I don't think it's feasible! Yuan Shu has plenty of soldiers. If we join forces with him, Liu Bei will die. But I'm worried about how Xuzhou will be governed in the future!" Chen Gong said, stroking his beard.
"Yuan Shu said, whoever conquers the territory will belong to him!" Lu Bu chuckled. Lu Bu was very confident in his own strength and ability!
"Haha! Has the general thought about what will happen after Liu Bei is destroyed? What if the general occupies the entire Xuzhou? Then he will be surrounded by the Yuan brothers and his old enemy Cao Cao will be to the west. How will the general defend Xuzhou?" Chen Gong said
"Hmph! I have the Red Rabbit Horse and Fang Tian Hua Ji. Where in the world can't I go?" Lu Bu said with a look of disdain.
"Yes! The general is invincible, but what about the soldiers under his command? Don't they have the skills of a general?"
"Then what do you think we should do? Can we defend it with one more Liu Bei?"
"Yes! Liu Bei can fight against Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. The general only needs to hold off Yuan Shao! In less than five years, when the princes have accumulated enough capital, the world will be in chaos and the demons will dance wildly. That will be the stage for the general. Now it is still This is not the time to kill Liu Bei!" Chen Gong said
"But I have married Yuan Shu and we are moving forward and retreating together!"
"The young lady hasn't sent it over yet. She said that she has no evidence. She can agree to Yuan Shu, but we only take Xuzhou County and won't hurt Liu Bei's people!" Chen Gongdao
"Oh? Why don't you hurt Liu Bei's people?"
"Zhang Fei likes to drink, and he will definitely make mistakes if he defends the city for a long time! Now it is better to let Yuan Shu hold Liu Bei down, but he is just afraid that Cao Cao is attacking Huainan openly, but actually taking Xuzhou secretly!"
"No problem! I have long heard that Cao Cao has countless generals. If you dare to come, I will kill some of his generals first!" Lu Bu's eyes were filled with murderous intent!
"My lord, why don't you write a letter to ask Yuan Shu and Liu Bei to cease the war, and then unite the four families of Yuan Shu and Shao to deal with Cao Cao?" Gao Shun suddenly said.
"Huh?" Chen Gong's eyes lit up, what a great idea, Gao Shun is really good, this idea is too bold!
"It's just that Cao Cao has the emperor in his hands. If he really attacks Cao Cao, it would be treason!" Lu Bu said calmly.
"Soldiers come to the rescue!" Chen Gong smiled, as if he had found a good reason for what he did.
"Bullshit!" Lu Bu said calmly, and even sent troops to rescue him. All the princes went to Xuchang to pay homage to Emperor Xian, and Cao Cao was also chosen by the emperor himself. At that time, all the princes recognized the emperor's choice, and could be said to have given the emperor to Cao Cao with their own hands. Wouldn't it be a joke to attack Xuchang at this time, still under the banner of rescuing the emperor, in case the emperor came to conquer it personally? , this group of people have all become rebels! Others don't know it, but Lu Bu knows it very well. Yuan Shu has always wanted to be emperor, and he must not be tied to him!
"The general trend of the world must be divided after a long time! The emperor of Zhou lost his virtue and the princes of the world were in chaos. It is the same situation now! The emperor is weak and Cao Cao is strong. We can issue an edict and ask Cao Cao to return power to the emperor!" The same goes for Chen Gong! A smart man could see that Lu Bu was still loyal to the Han Dynasty. He also figured it out that he really couldn't attack Cao Cao at this time. In history, no one had dared to attack Cao Cao since he took the emperor hostage!
"This is possible! Please sir, unite all the princes in the world and jointly ask Cao Cao to return power to the emperor!" Lu Bu was overjoyed
"Gao Shun obeys the order!"
"exist!"
"Command the trapped camp and the troops at your headquarters, and always pay attention to the movements of Xuzhou City. If you have the opportunity to capture the city, you must win with one blow!"
"Yes! Lord! Now Yuan Shu is publicizing Tao Qian's death in the city, causing the city of Xuzhou to be shaken. In this case, Zhang Fei will definitely make mistakes. Can we take advantage of it?" Gao Shundao
"You can take care of it yourself. You don't have to report everything! In order to stabilize Zhang Fei's military morale, I will personally lead the troops north to Puyang City!" Lu Bu said with narrowed eyes. Who said Lu Bu was just a warrior? In fact, he was also a general, or A commander-in-chief general, historically the Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu could be said to have swept all the princes in the late Han Dynasty. However, Lu Bu valued the Bingzhou army so much that he treated other soldiers unfairly. After all the Bingzhou cavalry were lost, he could only Quit the stage of history!
"Yuan Shao sent troops to fight Chengfeng. If we rush northward, will Yuan Shao misunderstand?" Chen Gong frowned. He was a little confused by the current Lu Bu, as if he had enlightened after a trip to Xuchang!
"Hmph! Yuan Shao innocently invaded my territory. There is nothing wrong with me fighting him now. If he dares to come, I don't mind killing Yuan Shao first!" Lu Bu showed his domineering power for a moment. At this moment, he became the most powerful general in the Han Dynasty. Exposed!
"Yes! Lord!" Gao Shun said excitedly. What he values in following Lu Bu is his martial arts and loyalty to the great man. Although he doesn't put much emphasis on him, he has to be loyal to him! Looking at the current big men, those who really think about the emperor are probably Cao Cao and Lu Bu!
Not to mention Lu Bu's arrangements, Yuan Shu's general Zhang Xun met Prime Minister Cao in the first battle. The army occupied the geographical advantage and bit Xiahou Dun's vanguard army, not giving Cao Cao any chance. Yuan Shu's generals, except Ji Ling, Chen Lan and Lei Bo, All the troops went into battle and Cao Cao's army was defeated. Zhang Xun took the opportunity to cut off Cao Cao's food route and set fire to all the trees and houses from Xuchang to Runan. A strong wall came to clear the country, leaving Cao Cao with no choice but to push back with his army and not dare to attack easily again. !
Yan Xiang sent people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that Yuan Shao and Zhang Xiu conspired to attack Xuchang and Lu Bu wanted to attack Chenliu. Cao Cao's army happened to be short of food and there was no mature food nearby, so he had to go east to capture Chen Guo and capture it. Yuzhou! After hesitating the confrontation between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, Lu Bu went north, and Yuzhou was empty. Cao Cao took the opportunity to completely capture it. From then on, Cao Cao completely dominated the three continents of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou, and his power was directly at its peak!
"Bah! You bastard! What happened? Yuzhou was captured by Cao Cao just like that?" Yuan Shu felt as if he had eaten a dead child. He grabbed Runan County by himself. The next step was to attack Yuzhou and take advantage of the chaos. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao acted so quickly. After losing the first battle, he quickly made adjustments and disrupted Yuan Shu's arrangement!
"Lord, calm down! Although Cao Cao has occupied Yuzhou, he still needs a large number of soldiers to garrison it. We can capture Xuzhou soon, because now Cao Cao is powerless!" Yan Xiang said
"Hmph! It's always annoying! No one in the world dares to attack the emperor, just because he doesn't want to be infamy. I, Yuan Shu, am not afraid of the emperor. I must have the courage to be the first in the world!" Yuan Shu said proudly!
"My lord is majestic and majestic, I can't wait!" Zhang Xun sent him a flattery.
"Contact Yuan Shao and ask him if he dares to attack Cao Cao. Also ask Ji Ling to send troops to attack Liu Bei and seize Xuzhou now!"
"promise!"
"General! Zhang Yan's army has already rushed to Shangdang County. I'm afraid he has seen our army's intention!" Zhao Yun was marching when he suddenly received a notice from the scouts!
"This Zhang Yan still has some skills. The army is still going to attack. Let's go to Shangdang County first. Now time is life. I want to compete with Zhang Yan for time! The infantry advances slowly, and the cavalry charges with me with full force!" Zhao Yun sneered.
The two parties are advancing towards Shangdang County at the same time. It depends on who is faster. Zhang Yan brought more than 3,000 cavalry and was exhausted from a long distance. Zhao Yun's 5,000 cavalry had just fought a tough battle. The two parties Just like that, we met unexpectedly under scheduled circumstances!
Shangdang County has a dangerous terrain and has been a strategic location since ancient times. There are two basins in the territory: Changzhi Basin and Jincheng Basin. The two basins are bounded by mountains such as Danzhu Ridge, Yangtou Mountain and Fajiu Mountain. In order to compete for this place, Qin and Zhao fought in the famous Changping Battle, and the slain god Bai Qi of 400,000 Zhao soldiers was buried here!
"What a young man!" Zhang Yan looked at Zhao Yun across from him and couldn't help but admired him. Zhao Yun had a white horse, a white helmet and white armor. He was dressed in snow-white and holding a gentian silver spear. He was very dazzling among the thousands of troops!
"Where is Zhang Yan?" Zhao Yun shouted, and the sound stopped Xingyun!
"Zhang Yan, under the command of Prime Minister Cao, pays homage to Marquis Wushuang!" Zhang Yan stepped out and cupped her hands on the horse, "I am wearing armor and it is inconvenient for me to salute. Please forgive me, general!"
"It doesn't matter! We are all men in the army, why bother with trivial matters!" Zhao Yun said with a smile. Looking at Zhang Yan's attitude, Zhao Yun knew that he had encountered a slippery man! "I wonder what General Zhang Yan is here for?"
"According to the edict of the emperor and the order of the prime minister, I came to Bingzhou to help Wushuanghou!" Zhang Yan said, this is also a master who pulls tiger skins to make a banner. Zhao Yun has a toothache as soon as he opens his mouth!
"Oh? Then I wonder how many troops General Zhang has brought? Isn't this mere three to five thousand troops not enough?" Zhao Yun sneered.
"The last general has 30,000 troops and 5,000 cavalry. The army is behind me and will arrive soon!" Zhang Yan said, observing Zhao Yun's face as he spoke. Zhang Yan said this to give Zhao Yun a clue. There is someone behind me, so don't you. You want to defeat me so easily!
"Okay! That's right. It's rare that Prime Minister Cao is interested. Zhang Yan obeys the order and orders your army to rest where it is!" Zhao Yun said with a smile.
"This! I obey!" Zhang Yan originally wanted to say a few words, but when he saw that Zhao Yun's cavalry was still charging, he did not dare to say anything more!
