Chapter 1257: Arrival and Merge (Fourth Shift)
The Youzhou Army escorted Tianzi Luan, Baiguan chariots and horses, and used an S-class prop: After marching Qiluo, accelerate north.
An hour later, on the south bank of the Yellow River, there was a Cao army from the east, with the main general banner "Li" and the deputy general banner "Le", which were two generals under Cao Cao, Li Dian and Le Jin.
Walking to the Mengjin ferry on the south bank, Le Jin saw the Sizhou military camp that had not yet been erected, frowned and said: "Could it be that the Sizhou army has been defeated? β
Li Dian observed carefully and said: "To build a camp, the materials here are completely insufficient. I speculate that this should be Zhong Sizhou's arrogant enemy's strategy, so that the Youzhou soldiers think that they have no worries and cross the river with the whole army. β
Le Jin's spirit perked up: "Then the battlefield should be on the north bank, and our army should quickly cross the river to help fight!"
Two generals led 5,000 Cao troops to cross the Yellow River.
However, when I came to the north bank of the Yellow River, I could only see the remnants of the battlefield with corpses everywhere, where is the shadow of the Youzhou Army?
Li Dian climbed his horse and looked high, and saw a big banner with the word "bell" not far away, gathering the remnants of the army.
When the two sides contacted, Li Dian shouted: "Could it be Zhong Sizhou?"
On the opposite side, there were already defeated soldiers and the colonel rushed to agree. Soon the two sides met.
Li Dian and Le Jin asked Zhong Xuan: "Where is the enemy?"
Zhong Xuan said: "I went to Bingzhou, its speed is extremely fast, and it is too late for you to chase it." If you had come an hour earlier, you would have been able to catch up with this big battle. β
Le Jin said: "After our army received the prime minister's order, it marched rapidly for more than 200 miles without a moment's delay. β
Zhong Xuan sighed: "This is all providence. Yuan Benchu has a son like this, it is really an anomaly. β
At the moment, Li Dian and Le Jin still have to pursue north.
Zhong Xi dissuaded: "The poor man still doesn't chase after him, let alone the victorious army? Yuan Xi is even more of a famous general, and he has insight into the ability of military aircraft. If he sets up an ambush, I am afraid that you thousands of tired horses will be wiped out. β
Li Dian said: "If we can't intercept Yuan Xi, how can we explain to the prime minister?"
Zhong Miao sighed: "In the eyes of the prime minister, your sins should be smaller, and I should be mainly responsible." If the prime minister wants to ask for the guilt when he is angry, he will naturally ask me for the blame first. But I've done my best, with a clear conscience. β
......
Bai Xiaowen, Qiao Rui, Cecilia, Han Xu and the other four were still talking about the battle of crossing the river while marching.
"You can't underestimate the aboriginal generals of the Three Kingdoms plane, their learning ability and adaptability are too strong. Before I could get enough rounds of deterrence, I found a way to crack it. In this battle, the Youzhou army suffered a lot of casualties, with a preliminary estimate of more than 2,000 losses. Bai Xiaowen said.
"You mean Drums, it's indeed a channel-casting skill buster. Fortunately, the rhythm of my soul was temporarily interrupted, and it didn't matter much," Qiao Rui said, "Do you think that such a thing as a drum appeared by chance, or is it a standing item in the enemy army?"
"I don't know, but since Zhong Xuan has it, he wants to face other well-known generals in the future war, and he also has it. Even if there is no drum, there are other means, after all, this is a Three Kingdoms plane with supernatural abilities, not romance. β
When Bai Xiaowen said this, he was a little regretful: "Zhong Xuan has never shown his head, and he only came out to collect the rout after we left, which is really very cunning." I wanted to kill the horse pistol and capture this big talent, but after thinking about it, forget it, I can't waste it. β
Then Bai Xiaowen looked at Han Xu again and said, "Old Han is amazing, he became famous in one battle." I overheard the emperor praising you. β
Han Xu's face was slightly red, but fortunately, his complexion was slightly dark, and he couldn't see it.
"With this record, I can logically promote Lao Han to be a general. In the battle of Xudu before, Shuyi was the first to climb to the top of the city, and according to the promise in advance, 'reward for thousands of gold, promotion to the third level', she can also be quickly promoted to a general. Cecilia is the commander of the special class hussars, and her promotion speed is not slow. Only Sister Qiao is not very good, so she can only be promoted slowly, and after settling down this time, she will be promoted to a higher level first. Bai Xiaowen said.
This time he cut into the Three Kingdoms plane, since the goal is great unification, Bai Xiaowen wants his teammates to play and win more war contributions.
Well, having a more prominent military position, of course, is more convenient to act.
Qiao Rui smiled: "I don't need a high official position, I can play more as a deputy general." β
Bai Xiaowen's saying that Qiao Rui "is not very visible" refers to the fact that in the eyes of the spiritual figures, there is no eye-catching performance like Han Xu and Li Shuyi. In fact, Qiao Rui, as an assistant of the Great Army, will definitely not be low in the war contributions in previous battles, and even higher than Han Xu.
The Youzhou army marched until noon and had already arrived in the territory of Bingzhou.
As the high morale gradually declined, the Youzhou soldiers who had not rested for two days and one night were sleepy and lacking horses, and at present, only the hussars were elite soldiers and still had combat power.
However, now that it is a merger, it has reached the territory of friendly forces, so there is no need to worry about encountering a big war.
Suddenly, the drums sounded in front, and the brigade of soldiers and horses lined up. The first military general said loudly: "Who is coming?"
Bai Xiaowen already knew about this oncoming group of people, and immediately replied: "Yuan Xi, the assassin of Youzhou, has escorted the Son of Heaven Luan to drive through here. You are a subordinate under my cousin Gao Gan, right? Come and meet the Son of Heaven, and send someone else to inform my cousin. β
A Youzhou military academy captain carried Bai Xiaowen's Youzhou Thorn History Seal and sent it to the other party for screening.
After the military general inspected it, he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and bowed to the side of the road: "The last general, Guo Yuan, will meet Your Majesty and the second son." It was rumored that the second prince attacked Xu Du and issued an edict to beg for thieves, and the world was shaken.
Bai Xiaowen escorted Tianzi Luan forward, and after Guo Yuan visited him, he talked with Bai Xiaowen again.
Under this talk, Bai Xiaowen knew that Guo Yuan was actually Zhong Xuan's nephew, but he belonged to different camps.
This is also normal. Just like Yingchuan Xun's family, Xun Yu and Xun Yu assisted Cao Cao, and Xun Chen (chΓ©n) assisted Yuan Shao. In this way, all parties bet, no matter who wins or loses, can ensure the prosperity of the Xun clan.
Speaking of Xun Chen, he is also quite powerful, and he once went out to persuade Han Fu, the former assassin of Jizhou, to give up Jizhou to Yuan Shao, which gave Yuan Shao the first foundation to settle down.
Xun Chen is Yuan Shao's mastermind, and Xun Yu's status in Cao Ying is the same.
It's just that after the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the momentum is getting more and more fierce, Yuan Shao's defect of "being able to gather people but not employing people" has become more and more obvious. Xun Chen probably saw Yuan Shao's weakness, and did not give advice in the battle of Guandu, but hid. After the Guandu War, Xun Chen was nowhere to be found.
After Guo Yuan visited, he led the Youzhou military horses to the Huguan guarded by himself to rest.
Bai Xiaowen saw that the sergeants under his command were extremely tired, and the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials could no longer move forward, so he agreed to take a temporary rest in Bingzhou.
However, Bai Xiaowen secretly sent Cecilia, Qiao Rui and Han Xu, and asked the three of them to lead the winged cavalry and rush to Yecheng in Jizhou in the starry night!
