Chapter 160: The First Battle of the Cao Alliance
"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes!"
"I don't want to be a big enemy, Shouyi still has the interest in composing poetry, I guess I have confidence?" said Xi Zhicai, who was standing on the shore, laughed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"There is no 100%, and there is 80% certainty!"
Looking at Wang Yangzeguo outside Xuchang City, which seemed to appear overnight, everyone had inexplicable confidence in this war of princes.
Soon, Yuan Shao's army, which had hardly encountered any resistance, was the first to arrive outside Xuchang City, and was stunned when he saw the scene outside Xuchang City, only to see that Xuchang City was surrounded by water on three sides, and only one side was blocked by a dam, which led directly to Xuchang, and it looked like a sideways water tank from a distance.
"Gongzhi, what do you think Meng De means?"
"I think he might want to fight us head-on, because with this artificially created environment, even if we have a million troops, we can't rush up and besiege them! Our advantage of being outnumbered has become a disadvantage, after all, the amount of food consumed by a million army is really amazing!"
"It is worthy of being my friend since childhood, and it must be the credit of Shouyi to be able to make such a response to such a desperate situation!
Everyone looked at each other, pretending not to hear it.
"Gongzhi, what is your good plan?"
"Lord, we are here to meet the alliance in Xuchang, but the other princes are not in a hurry to attack, why don't we wait for everyone to arrive and then discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy together?"
"Good!"
Yuan Shao'an camped, and the formation of 500,000 troops stretched for dozens of miles, and there was a sense of oppression that black clouds were pressing down on the city and wanting to destroy it.
"Shouyi dug Yingshui into Zeguo, the strange strategy of the strong wall and clear the wilderness really had a miraculous effect, and Yuan Shao's personality of great joy did not attack. ”
Standing by the guardrail built outside Xuchang City, Cao Cao smiled.
"Shouyi has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, if it weren't for the drastic changes in the times, the death of the Son of Heaven is too bizarre and coincidental, although the world is big, it can't escape the palm of the lord's hand, and there will be no such crisis. ”
"I'm embarrassed for your two boasts, how is the preparation of the "Earth Dragon Project"?"
"It has been carried out in full force, just wait for their princes to meet the alliance, and then the earth dragon will ascend to heaven and swallow the world!"
"Okay, good! Hahaha! With your help, this crisis is also a springboard, but we must be more careful in extraordinary times, if the news is exposed, it will not be beautiful. ”
"Rest assured, after the start of the "Earth Dragon Plan", Xuchang has been implemented, and it can only be entered but not exited, and it is impossible to reveal the rumors!"
Cao Cao nodded, now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
The second to arrive in Xuchang was not the nearest potter, but the farthest away Ma Teng, although the cavalry moved quickly, but it can also be seen that he was the heart of the Han family to crusade against the vassals.
There are one, two, and there are three, and then, the potter Liu Biao and others came one after another.
That night, in a large and splendid tent, the princes gathered to drink and have merry.
At the right time, Shao said: "Now that the princes are gathered, the one who does it is also a thief! The so-called snake cannot do without a head, and a bird has no wings and no wings." This general has recommended himself as the leader of the alliance of princes, I wonder what you think?"
Liu Biaoben came in the name, but he refused to follow Yuan Shao's wishes: "Today, the princes will join the alliance to avenge the emperor, and I am a relative of the Han family, so the position of the leader of this alliance is unshirkable!"
The two tigers competed, and the rest of the small princes looked at each other one after another, and it was not easy to express their position, so they were very witty and set their eyes on the potter.
The status of the potters at this time was like Han Xin in the dispute between Chu and Han: if you help Liu Bang, Liu Bang wins, if you help Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu wins, and if you don't help each other, you will divide the world into three parts.
He naturally has some small thoughts about the position of the alliance leader, if he becomes the alliance leader, he can just let Yan Kang set up a formation for a trumped-up reason in the coalition garrison. But he also knew that the fight between the three would hurt the harmony, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided not to let Cao Cao's direct enemy Yuan Shao gain benefits, and just wanted to speak, but one person spoke for him.
The man was none other than Wan Yankang, who was sitting on the potter's left.
"It is the duty of a minister to avenge the king, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, full of loyal martyrs, and the father of the general is a model for resisting Dong Zhuo and unfortunately dying. With General Yuan in the position of the leader of the alliance and leading everyone to crusade against the traitorous ministers, it is naturally expected by everyone!"
The potter was stunned, everyone who was a human spirit saw the potter's expression and understood that this was Wan Yankang's own assertion, and they were looking forward to the potter's opening.
"What Jing Ning said won my heart, and the position of the leader of the alliance belongs to General Yuan!"
After the potter made a statement, the rest of the small princes also expressed their support for Yuan Shao, and the position of the leader of the alliance was finalized.
The next day, a million troops gathered outside the guardrail outside Xuchang City.
Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, stood in the center and said in a loud voice: "I want the monarchs and gods to go to discuss the enemy's reality, what do you think?"
"What the alliance leader said is very much in my heart, I have a son, called Ma Chao, who has the courage of ten thousand people, and can go into battle!"
"Accurate!"
A handsome young general with a lion helmet and silver armor suddenly jumped out of the crowd, shouting and scolding in the formation of the two armies.
Cao Cao saw that he sent Xiahoudun to meet the battle, but he was defeated in fifty rounds, and sent Cao Hong to the battle, and he was defeated again.
The successive defeats had reached the point that the morale of his own side was low, and Cao Cao regretted going into battle, but the morale of the coalition army was greatly boosted.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhe sent Dian Wei into battle.
"You black general, go and fight on horseback, don't say I bullied you!"
Ma Chao's reminder made Dian Wei feel a little good: "My horseback riding power has dropped by three percent, and not riding a horse is my heyday!"
"In that case, take it!"
The gun is like a dragon, and the halberd moves the wind and clouds. In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves, Ma Chao saw that he could be on a par with Dian Wei with horsepower, and the previous competition with the second general consumed physical strength, knowing that he was not good for a long time, he said very simply: "I am very tired from three battles in a row, and I will fight next time!" and went back to the battle to rest.
Ma Chao retreated, Sun Jian's son Sun Ce was young and frivolous, so he would not miss the opportunity to become famous, and the second one went into battle, he was even more arrogant and got off the horse and fought with Dian Wei. Although Sun Ce is known as the "little overlord", after all, he is still young, and he has no horsepower, how can he be the opponent of Dian Wei, who is at the peak in all aspects? However, more than 20 moves were defeated after Dian Wei sold a flaw.
"Light and unprepared, young man, you still have a long way to go!" Respecting Sun Ce without borrowing horsepower, Dian Wei rarely spoke.
"Hmph!" snorted, Sun Ce returned to the formation quite unwillingly.
His own side was defeated, Yuan Shao showed displeasure on his face, and just wanted to scold him, the potter said: "This farce should be over!"
After speaking, before rushing into battle, Yuan Shao didn't have the heart to accuse Sun Ce when he saw the potter going into battle, and he observed it carefully, wanting to see the legendary potter's courage with one enemy and ten thousand.
"The matter was urgent that day, I didn't have time to make up for you with a halberd, and I didn't die after the flooding, it seems that your life is quite big!"
"Potter!"
