Liu Yu laughed, shook off Wei Xu and rushed straight towards the wolf cavalry who were about to scatter, Wei Xu said loudly: "Stop him." \. ().” It seems that this wolf cavalry can indeed be called an elite, and seeing Liu Yu so brave, those cavalry still greeted Liu Yu without fear.

Liu Yu gently pulled the reins of the horse, and the black horse flew over the heads of the intercepted enemy generals like a green cloud. As soon as Liu Yu dragged the halberd, a soldier immediately fell off his horse. The black horse landed on the ground, and the hind hooves kicked in the buttocks of one of the horses, and the horse neighed in pain, and the man stood up and kicked wildly with his front hooves, causing the wolf cavalry near it to be embarrassed.

Liu Yu laughed, urged the horse to advance again, and had entered the wolf cavalry camp with a snap of his fingers. The Zhantian halberd in Liu Yu's hand should be stabbed and sharpened, the throat pierced and the halberd killed, and the body was cut in two. Everywhere the gun shadow went, blood splashed everywhere, corpses were everywhere, and for a while, Liu Yu was like a god of death, and the gun was in the soul.

The wolf cavalry, which had already lost its sharpness, was killed by Liu Yu in a big mess, and finally had a psychological breakdown, and no longer cared about shooting arrows at Liu Yujun, but flashed to both sides like a plague god. Liu Yu was like a god descending, sweeping the entire battlefield like chopping melons and vegetables.

At this time, the heavy cavalry led by Huang Xu and Wei Yan had already fought with the wolf cavalry on the periphery, and the wolf cavalry had an absolute advantage in numbers, but now it was turned upside down by Liu Yu in the array, and he heard that the main general Lu Buye had fled first, and the army was immediately in turmoil.

Wei Xu saw that Lu Bu was out of danger, and his own side was in chaos, so he shouted: "Withdraw." "From this time, it can be seen that the wolf cavalry is also well-trained in this area in peacetime, and when retreating, they fight and retreat. There was no defeat.

Liu Yu glanced at Huang Xu and Wei Yan, who had expectant expressions, and simply ordered the energetic them to lead the five thousand heavy cavalry to chase them all the way. Of course, Liu Yu knew that this would not have much effect. After all, the speed of the wolf cavalry is incomparable to that of the heavy cavalry.

Tonight's battle is not to kill many enemies, but mainly to break the enemy's morale. But Rao is like this, the wolf cavalry also left nearly 6,000 corpses, and Liu Yufang only lost a few hundred people, so the result can be said to be very brilliant, not only greatly damaged the enemy's morale. Moreover, it also greatly increased the confidence of the soldiers of their own side in victory. Those soldiers who went to the battlefield with Liu Yu for the first time were convinced by Liu Yu after this battle, and they had no second thoughts. From the way they looked at Liu Yu, we could fully understand their admiration and awe for Liu Yu.

When the army cleaned up the Lu camp and waited for the large army to move in from Liu Yujun's original camp, the sky was already bright, and Liu Yu explained that Huang Xu and Wei Yan, who had returned in vain, guarded the camp, while he left the camp. Although they knew that Ren Hongchang would come here in less than two hours. But Liu Yu still has to do this redundant move. Because Liu Yu promised Fan Lihua. When they wake up, he'll be there for them intact. Unexpectedly, when Liu Yu returned to the camp, they were all awake and were packing up there!

"Husband, you're back!" Ren Hongchang immediately cheered when he saw Liu Yu, and ran to Liu Yu's side to look up and down carefully.

"I said I would come back intact, how about it, husband didn't lie to you, right?" Liu Yu hugged Ren Hongchang's waist. Said with a smile. Before coming back, Liu Yu had the foresight to change the clothes he was wearing that was stained with blood and smoke, otherwise he would definitely cause a lot of worry.

Zou Zhiruo walked up with a soup cup and said softly, "Husband." If you're tired, sit down and rest, the concubine made you eight treasure bird's nest soup, you can eat it while it's hot! ”

Among Liu Yu's women, only Zou Zhiruo is serving him wholeheartedly. Of course, it doesn't mean that Liu Yu and other women are not single-minded about Liu Yu, it's just that they all have their own favorite things. Some are obsessed with medical skills, some are fond of martial arts, some are interested in state and military affairs, and some have research on literature and art. But Zou Zhiruo has no preferences, and even her cooking skills, which are praised as "peerless" by Liu Yu, are all exercised because of Liu Yu's appetite. Liu Yu couldn't help but feel warm when he thought of this, first smiled at Fan Lihua and the others who came over, and then sat down with Ren Hongchang in his arms and asked her to feed him this loving breakfast on his lap.

Zou Zhiruo walked over and rubbed Liu Yu's shoulders and asked, "Husband, why did you come back so late?" Didn't Lihua say you'd be back before we woke up? ”

Liu Yu pretended to sigh helplessly and said, "I also want to come back early, but who knew that the moonlight would be so good last night?" I waited a long time for a dark cloud to cover the moon, so I came back a little late! ”

Fan Lihua asked excitedly: "Husband, Tanma reported that you burned the grain and grass of the Lu Bu army alone, and with only 10,000 heavy cavalry, you captured the camp of the Lu army guarded by 50,000 cavalry. What the hell did you do, tell the concubine about it! ”

"Okay, I'll tell you how I took the Lu Bu camp!" After Liu Yu answered, he talked about last night's events in the form of a storytelling. Of course, the focus is on ignoring Liu Yu's use of the charm technique to "go down", as well as the process of being alone in danger.

Ren Hongchang's expressions changed with Liu Yu's narration, or chuckling or nervous or yearning, just as Liu Yu said that after burning the grain and grass, he was intercepted by the masters in the army led by Lu Bu, Luo Lier entered the tent and reported: "Xiangye, Lord Guo Jia is asking to see you outside." ”

Ren Hongchang and the others invariably let out a displeased snort, even the always gentle Zou Zhiruo was no exception. Although he couldn't think of anything important that he needed to deal with personally, Liu Yu still smiled and said to Ren Hongchang and the others: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown!" ”

sent a few dissatisfied women to the inner tent, and then Liu Yu asked Luo Lier to pass Guo Jia in.

"Did you find me in such a hurry, what happened?" As soon as Guo Jia entered the big tent, Liu Yu asked straight to the point.

Guo Jia saluted Liu Yu expressionlessly, and then knelt on the woolen blanket in the tent, looking up at Liu Yu without speaking. Liu Yu first inspected his dress in his slightly annoyed gaze. After noticing that there was nothing wrong, he asked, "What's wrong with you, why don't you speak?" ”

Guo Jia's originally calm face immediately made waves. He looked at Liu Yu and said with an aggrieved expression: "Xiangye, you deceived Weichen again!" ”

Liu Yu was slightly stunned, and asked with some amusement and confusion: "How did I deceive you, why did you look like an angry little daughter-in-law?" ”

Guo Jia's eyes widened to enhance his momentum, and he said in a deep voice: "Didn't we discuss it a long time ago, first harass Lu Bujun in turn with a tired army, and then see if we can lure out the enemy army." If the enemy comes out, they will be surrounded and annihilated by heavy cavalry. If they are in the camp, they will order the heavy infantry to attack with weapons. But Xiangye, why do you have to go into danger alone? The last sentence already had a questioning tone.

Liu Yu laughed dryly, glanced at the inner account with some weakness, and argued: "Isn't that the plan unable to catch up with the changes?" If I don't do it myself. Then the Lu battalion can't be chaotic at all, and with the strength of the Lu Bu army, it is impossible to bring me any harm. I once promised them that they would never fall into their own death, so you can relax, I know everything! After speaking, Liu Yu didn't give Guo Jia a chance to speak out. Immediately, he said, "That's right." Has the whole army been cleaned up? If it's okay, let's go quickly and try to go to Luying for lunch! ”

Guo Jia sighed a little helplessly and said, "It will take about half an hour for the army to start. However, Xiangye ......"

Seeing that Guo Jia seemed to have something to admonish, Liu Yu hurriedly asked first: "After this 'Muye Plain', it is the terrain of a horse and a flat river, do you think Yuan Shao will send troops to the field to confront our army head-on?" ”

Although Guo Jia was a little unhappy with Liu Yu's behavior of changing the topic, he still gave up the prepared advice and replied: "Judging from the various Jizhou intelligence collected by our intelligence system. Yuan Shaojun, who was undertrained, probably would not want to engage in a field battle with our army that had been trained for a long time, and most of them wanted to fight a protracted war with our army by relying on the abundant grain in the fortified city. ”

Liu Yu smiled disdainfully. said: "The armament grain and grass I prepared can be consumed by our army for two years, and I don't know who can't hold on to it when the time comes!" The trick used by Yuan Shao to clear the field is just to delay some of the time for us to take Jizhou, and it won't have much effect! ”

"Xiangye's words are wrong!" Guo Jia shook his head disapprovingly, and said solemnly: "Yuan Shao also knows that although Jizhou is rich, it is absolutely difficult to compete with the imperial court with the land of seven states alone, so he will not hope for victory in the protracted war. ”

Liu Yu was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Then what does he mean by doing this?" Do you want to resist stubbornly in order to break the net? It is better to ask Shanyang Taishou Yuan to persuade Yuan Shao, so that he can understand that in the face of the absolute strength of our army, only Toucheng can ensure the wealth and prosperity of the family! What do you think? ”

Guo Jia glanced at Liu Yu and said angrily: "Xiangye, do you think that with the arrogance and family background of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, they will surrender to others before they reach a dead end?" ”

"Not at a dead end?" Liu Yu was stunned and said, "Isn't there anyone in the Yuan family who can see the current situation clearly?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "Because Xiangye has always advocated 'elite soldiers', although we have a population base of nearly 30 million, there are only more than 800,000 soldiers. And people like Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others basically implemented the fifteen-ding-one conscription system, so although the population of those hostile forces was far less than that under the jurisdiction of Xiangye, the total number of soldiers was above our army. This time, Xiangye mobilized more than 300,000 troops to attack Jizhou, and although the defense of various places was not negligent, it seemed a little stretched. Moreover, the princes who are hostile to Xiangye in various places will not let Xiangye get the rich Jizhou, so they will definitely take action, and Yuan Shao will only implement the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness after seeing through this. ”

"In this way, Yuan Shao is expecting Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others to send troops to attack me, so that I will automatically withdraw from the army?"

"Not bad." Guo Jia nodded and said, "Jizhou has always been wealthy, and it pays a large amount of taxes every year. Yuan Shao relied on this money to repair the city on a large scale, making Jizhou fortified cities abound. If the county guards have sufficient troops and food and grass to hold the city, our army will really fall into a protracted war for many years. If Cao, Sun and others really send troops to attack at that time, then our army may really return in vain. ”

Guo Jia's successive "true" words did not put much pressure on Liu Yu, because he and a group of strategists had taken this into account long before sending out the army. Now the reason why Guo Jia said this is just to scare Liu Yu because of dissatisfaction, so Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't come to this set." Let's talk about it, what are the hardest bones to gnaw in Jizhou? ”

After Guo Jia coughed twice, Zhengse said: "Although there are many fortified cities in Jizhou, the ones that will really make our army feel tricky are the seven cities such as Bohai, Anping, Pingyuan, Weijun, Yecheng, Nanpi, and Liyang. ”

"Tell me more about it."

"Anping is the seat of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao has to make great efforts to build it. Bohai, Pingyuan, Weijun and Yecheng are all big cities close to our forces, and Yuan Shao is afraid that our army will attack him, so he naturally gives priority to them. Later, in order to establish a more complete line of defense. He also built a new Nanpi County near Pingyuan County and a new Liyang County near Yecheng. ”

Liu Yu thought for a while and said: "On the front line of Bohai and Anping, there are Dian Wei, Wu Anguo and Xianpei. There are Zhang He, Li Dian and Lu Su and others on the plain and Nanpi line, and Gao Shun and Xu Shu in Wei County, so I don't need to worry much about these five major cities. As for Liyang, Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, and Tai Shici took Wei Yan, Chen to those young generals and Fa Zheng to deal with it, which can be regarded as a test for them. What do you think of my arrangement? ”

Guo Jia nodded with a smile. said: "Obey the orders of the Prime Minister! ”

############################################################

After only one day of repairing in the Lü Bu camp, Liu Yu led the army out of Muno Plain. As previously said to Guo Jia, Liu Yu assigned 40,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry to Zhao Yun, and ordered him to lead Huang Xu, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Wen Ping, Li Yan, and Xu Sheng, and use Fa Zheng as the staff officer of the army to attack Liyang County, an important stronghold of Yuan Shao.

Of course, in order not to make them suffer too many losses, Liu Yu also allocated one-third of the siege equipment in their army. As for Tai Shici and Meng Da, Liu Yu ordered them to take 15,000 soldiers and horses from their headquarters to attack Chaoge and several small counties nearby, believing that with the strength of the two of them, there should be no problems.

Liu Yu took the remaining nearly 50,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry and walked slowly towards Yecheng. The townships and counties that passed along the way did not organize any decent resistance, and it would never be an exaggeration to describe it as "looking at the wind and descending". After eight days of leisurely marching. Liu Yu finally saw Yecheng, a majestic fortified city standing on the Jizhou Plain.

After silently calculating in his heart for a while, Liu Yu came to a conclusion - the wall of Yecheng in the distance was at least twenty meters high, and Liu Yu, who was sitting in the carriage and watching the curtain, couldn't help but sigh: "Yuan Shao is really willing to spend money!" ”

"Yes," Fan Lihua also sighed beside her: "A city of this scale can only be owned by the state seat and the border city in our place, but I didn't expect a county town in Jizhou to be built like this!" ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, and said with some disdain and some arrogance: "Why do you build the city so strong?" My aim is that the best defense is the offense! We're going to be tigers, not turtles! ”

Ren Hongchang and the others all squeezed around him with a look of fascination after listening to Liu Yu's words, if they didn't do it in the face of this situation, then Liu Yu would not be Liu Yu. After arguing with Ren Hongchang for a while, Liu Yu suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Hongchang, who is guarding Yecheng now?" Is it Lu Bu? ”

Ren Hongchang leaned on Liu Yu's arms and said lazily: "The current supreme commander of Yecheng is not Lu Bu, but Chun Yuqiong, the puppet governor of southern Hebei appointed by the puppet general Yuan Shao. ”

"Chun Yuqiong?" It's a familiar name!

Ren Hongchang looked at Liu Yu's reminiscence and smiled, and explained: "It is the right captain in the 'Eighth Captain of the West Garden' back then. ”

As soon as Ren Hongchang reminded Liu Yu like this, he remembered that Chun Yuqiong was not the culprit who lost Yuan Shao's granary black nest because of drunkenness in history, and even Yuan Shao's defeat in the Battle of Guandu? Yuan Shao, who was far stronger than Cao Cao and had great hopes of unifying the north, collapsed because of his mistakes, and finally died and the clan was wiped out! Since he is in charge of Yecheng's defense, it should be easy to deal with, right?

Perhaps seeing the contempt in Liu Yu's eyes, Ren Hongchang said: "Husband, you must not underestimate this Chun Yuqiong. This person was born in a famous family, he was quite brave when he was a teenager, and after joining the army, he made contributions in the border and the suppression of the Yellow Turban and rebellions in various places, so the emperor appointed him to be one of the eight captains of the West Park who commanded the elite troops of the Han Dynasty. This person has been friends with Yuan Shao since he was a child. He is a die-hard element in Yuan's camp, and he has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience, so he is really a great enemy of our army! ”

Is this world a world of counterattack? How come the cannon fodder in the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has excellent skills? ! It's weird......

###########################################################

When Liu Yujun set up camp seven or eight miles away from Yecheng. Tanma came to report that the soldiers and horses of Yecheng had been dispatched. Liu Yu was extremely strange in his heart, what did Chun Yuqiong, who was known as "experienced and experienced", think, not only did he not stick to Xiongcheng, but he wanted to go out of the city to face the battle?

Probably Guo Jia also had doubts about this, he glanced at Liu Yu and asked Tanma: "What kind of soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses attacking in Yecheng?" How many people are there? Who is the leading general? ”

The scouts and scouts in Liu Yu's army had undergone comprehensive and strict scout training, so the answer was quickly given: "All the people who went out of the city were cavalry." There were about forty or fifty thousand people, and although the faces of the leading generals were not clear, one of them rode a tall red horse. ”

Wolf cavalry! Lu Bu! Liu Yu believes that these two terms will appear in the minds of the people in the tent at this time. With a wave of his hand, he asked the horse to step back. Liu Yu said to everyone helplessly: "Since Lu Bu doesn't learn a lesson, then let's beat him again!" ”

Just as Liu Yu was dispatching troops, the patrol outside the camp came to report that Lu Bu and his army had lined up in the land of five arrows outside the camp. Liu Yu thought for a while. Order the heavy cavalry to follow him out of the camp. The heavy crossbowmen of the army occupied the guard towers and the battlements, while the archers were on standby in the battalion. then left Ji Ling and Guo Jia in the camp to preside over the overall situation, and Liu Yu only took Xu Chu out of the camp to meet the enemy.

Four or fifty thousand wolf cavalry with knives and bows and several large packages lined up in a goose marching formation that was both offensive and defensive, and three horsemen stood out of the formation at the head of the goose.

"It's Liu Yu?" A veteran standing in the middle of the three horses shouted in a deep voice, full of energy. This man is of medium height, about fifty years old, with thin crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, as if he has been frosted. But the calm bearing, the condensed expression, and the calm and heroic posture on the horse make people dare not be contemptuous in the slightest. If Liu Yu didn't guess wrong, he should be the so-called "Governor of Southern Hebei" Chun Yuqiong.

Liu Yu said in his usual cold tone when facing outsiders: "It's the true appearance." Are you Chun Yuqiong? ”

The veteran nodded, and was about to speak, but Lu Bu on his right suddenly pointed at Liu Yu and scolded: "Liu Yu, you despicable and shameless villain, today you must pay the price of blood for your actions that day." ”

Liu Yu's face did not change, and he replied coldly: "Sure enough, beasts can't speak, Lu Bu, what do you know besides accumulating your glory with the corpses of your own soldiers?" You guy who can't do enough to bury the lives of his soldiers at will is even worse than a pig or a dog. ”

"You, you guy who doesn't know whether to live or die, attack me and kill all these guys who don't know whether to live or die!" I don't know what the reason is, Lu Bu will always lose his mind easily when facing Liu Yu, and Liu Yu's casual ridicule actually provoked him to rush over and fight with Liu Yu.

Chun Yuqiong saw the opportunity quickly, and pulled Lu Bu tightly. I don't know if Chun Yuqiong is really super strong, or if Lu Bu took the opportunity to step down, in short, Lu Bu, who wanted to attack, was suppressed by Chun Yuqiong, and could only yell hysterically there like a crazy wild dog.

To the left of Chun Yuqiong was a handsome young man in his early twenties, dressed in purple armor and armed with a silver spear. When Chun Yuqiong pulled Lu Bu, he suddenly rode out, and only stopped in the middle of the two armies, pointed his gun at Liu Yu, and said arrogantly: "Liu Yu, why bother to be like a woman, the manly man still has the real chapter in his hand!" ”

Just when Liu Yu was out of the battle, he saw Chun Yuqiong looking nervous and shouted: "Second son, don't be rash, come back quickly." After speaking, with a wave of his hand, several generals immediately rushed out of the enemy formation and galloped towards the second son.

The second son, who was obviously poisoned by personal heroism, turned around when he heard this, and roared sharply: "Dare to go to the former, behead!" ”

Looking at such a scene, Liu Yu couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked in a loud voice, "What's your name?" ”

"I am Yuan Xi, the second son of the general Yuan Shao, and the national thief left me with my life." The young general shouted loudly and stepped forward with a spear. (To be continued.) )
