Episode 205: Gathering of Storms
The battle of the boundary bridge started, and on the side of Bohai City, Huang Zhong, Chen Zhi, Gao Lan, Zang Ba, Yu Ban and others led their troops to take the city, and the 160,000 army pressed the border and approached the boundary bridge. At the same time, the suppression of the Jizhou region was successful, and Zhuge Jin, Jiang Gan and other 100,000 troops led by them were also approaching the vanguard camp.
On the side of the official army of Jizhou, the pioneer battalion lost the first battle, losing 20,000 soldiers, fortunately, Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others led 150,000 soldiers to the boundary bridge, plus Youzhou Gongsun Zan has also led 30,000 cavalry, entered the Jizhou boundary, is rushing towards the boundary bridge, the two armies converged, strong confrontation on the front line of the boundary bridge, about to start the wind and cloud war.
When Xiao Lan rushed to the Jieqiao with Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Jia Long and others, as well as 50,000 soldiers and horses, Gongsun Zhan also rushed to the Jieqiao at the same time, and at the same time Lu Bu and his 50,000 Bingzhou Jingcai. Just as Lu Bu once voted for Yuan Shao when he was desperate in history, his choice is still the same now.
Historically, Yuan Shao was afraid of Lu Bu's ability, but now, in order to deal with the fierce generals of the Taiping Army, he had to accept Lu Bu in order to compete with the Taiping Army.
That night, Xiao Lan summoned the generals in the army to gather, Wenchen Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zhuge Jin, Jiang Gan, and military generals Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Chen Zhi, Gao Lan, Zhou Tai, Zang Ba, Xu Sheng, Yu Ban, Jiang Qin, Geng Ling, etc., can be described as full of talents, fierce generals like clouds.
Xiao Lan said indifferently: "Hangu Pass is already in my hands, Cao Cao is currently fighting for Chang'an with Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, and Liangzhou Han Sui, Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu are also fighting, but they just gave Ben Shuai the opportunity to defeat the Kwantung princes in one fell swoop, I don't know if you have any tricks to teach me!" ”
"Lord!" Guo Jia smiled indifferently: "Jia thinks that now that the enemy and us have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and the boundary bridge, this battle, the conspiracy and tricks are useless. It is necessary to have an upright division and face the enemy head-on. ”
"Feng Xiao's words are wrong!" Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "I believe that although it is a good strategy to fight head-on, it is definitely not the best policy, although our army has more than 400,000 troops. But the enemy also has more than 300,000 troops, under the hard fight, even if we win, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, in the view of loyalty, we can attack the grain and grass of the Jizhou coalition army! ”
"Huh?" With a deep groan, Xiao Lan's eyes flashed, in history, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought the Guandu battle. The final decisive blow was because Cao Cao broke the black nest and burned the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops! However, victory can be replicated, but tactics cannot be set in stone, he immediately asked in a deep voice: "There are more than 300,000 Jizhou coalition troops, and grain and grass are the top priority, and they will inevitably be strictly guarded." If you want to sneak attack, how difficult it is! Zhicai said this. What is the best way to do it? ”
Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "There is no upper policy, but there is one." ”
Hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Isn't Zhicai trying to do that strategy?" ”
"Not bad." Xi Zhicai said: "I want the lord to lead the army tomorrow to call for the Jizhou coalition army, and secretly dispatch an elite army to destroy the enemy's grain and grass." However, there are many Chinese ministers and strategists in the enemy army, and Tian Feng and Fu Zhi are all talented, and such a simple strategy may be seen through by the other party. ”
"No, Ben is so handsome that I think. At a time like this, the simpler the scheme, the more difficult it is to be seen. Xiao Lan's eyes were heavy, and he slowly swept over the generals, and immediately, he said in a deep voice: "Chen Dao, Xu Chu, and Zhou Tai listened to the order, and the commander ordered you and the other three to lead five thousand elite cavalry, and tomorrow when the two armies were facing each other, go behind the enemy to burn the enemy's grain and grass, this is the next policy, so you are allowed to wait, and you have the ability to make decisions on the spot!" ”
"No!" Chen Dao, Xu Chu, and Zhou Tai immediately received the order in unison, although they missed the battle of tomorrow, but if the burning of the enemy's grain and grass was successful, the three of them were the biggest heroes of this battle.
Xiao Lan nodded, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Night defense needs to be stepped up, you guys have a good rest, there will be a big battle tomorrow, it is related to the fate of the Taiping Army, and it cannot be ignored!" ”
"No!" The generals took orders one after another, they all knew that tomorrow would be a battle that would determine the fate of the world, as participants in this war, they would naturally inevitably be surging and excited, only Dian Wei was still standing behind Xiao Lan, in front of his most loyal guard.
Early in the morning of the second day, after the three armies had made a fire and had eaten a full breakfast, they rested a little, and then under the leadership of the leaders of each army, they formed a huge army and forced out.
On the other side, the Jizhou coalition army is also a large army, under the leadership of Yuan Shao, more than 300,000 troops are mighty, and the army of Lin Lie is in a strong formation, which is also extraordinary.
As far as the eye can see, I saw that on the plains near the boundary bridge, stretching for dozens of miles, there were military formations on both sides, and one after another the banners were waving in the wind, flying in the air, rolling up thousands of murderous atmospheres, and the pervasive war spirit changed the huge sky and clouds.
"Where is Yuan Shao, dare to talk to this seat!" Seeing the gathering of the armies of both sides, the endless huge military array, and the magnificent scene of nearly one million people, it was really unimaginable, Xiao Lan was also full of spirit in his heart, and wanted to defeat the Jizhou coalition army in one fell swoop, so he immediately invited to fight.
At this moment, Yuan Shao is not a mediocre person later, now he is at the peak of his life, naturally there is no shortage of shrewdness and ability, hearing Xiao Lan's words, he immediately urged him to step forward, and shouted loudly: "Er is a thief, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?" ”
"Hah!" With a chuckle, Xiao Lan said indifferently: "Yuan Benchu, a good descendant of the fourth world and the third duke, but unfortunately, your Yuan family seems to have been killed by Dong Zhuo, speaking of which, this Dong Zhuo was introduced to Luoyang by Yuan Benchu, like you who hurt others and yourself, Ben Shuai is willing to talk to you, he has given you a lot of face, and he dares to refuse Ben Shuai, I really don't know what to do!" ”
"Damn!" Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be furious, and immediately shouted loudly: "Generals, who will take down the thief leader Xiao Lan for me?!" ”
"The last will go!" Yuan Shao's voice fell, and he saw a general rushing out of the military array, but it was Wang Men, a young general under his command, who came out of the horse and went straight to Xiao Lan.
"The enemy will be rampant!" There was no need for Xiao Lan to order, behind him, there was already a Taiping Army general rushing out, and it was Gao Lan, who was as famous as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He.
"The thief will die!" At a young age, it was the time when the blood was surging, and the royal family wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
However, Gao Ran dodged his killer blow with a slight sideways turn, and then, the spear in his hand burst out, only to hear a muffled sound of "poof", which went straight through his throat.
"Hmph, the tone is not small, but unfortunately, the ability is too bad!" Gao Ran snorted coldly, immediately pointed a gun at Lu Bu, and invited the battle loudly: "I have heard the name of Wenhou Lu Bu for a long time, Hebei Gao Ran, I am here to ask for advice!" ”
In the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu's prestige shocked the world, and he faintly had the prestige of the world's first general, but all the generals in the world, I am afraid that there is no one who does not want to fight him, and Gao Ran is naturally no exception.
Hearing the invitation to fight, Lu Bu immediately patted the red rabbit horse under his crotch, and in an instant, he came to Gao Ran's side, and said indifferently: "Gao Lan? Well, Fang Cai's battle has proven your strength, and you are qualified to let Ben Hou make a move. ”
When Gao Ran heard this, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, the Tiger Prison was a battle, and Wen Hou was powerful in the world, but today I want to learn Wen Hou's tricks!" ”
"Look for death!" Tiger Prison Pass was forced to retreat by the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang, this is a taboo in Lu Bu's heart, usually no one dares to mention it in front of him, but now his back is re-mentioned by this Gao Lan, so how can he not be angry, he shouted, immediately slapped the horse to attack, Fang Tian painted the halberd, and the halberd painted Fang Tian!
"I'm afraid you won't make it!" Gao Ran is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he is not afraid to meet the attack at the moment, the spear breaks through the air, and it is as fast as thunder and lightning, showing its edge! (To be continued......)
