The warm April breeze blows across the wilderness, with a slight scent of green flowers. Cao Pi, who was on the expedition as the Marquis of Qi's guard, patted the horse's back with his hand, trying to appease the slightly restless mount, but the effect was not obvious. It is said that this is not his first expedition, as early as the age of nine, Cao Pi had already followed his father Cao Cao to fight in the south and north. But this time, for some reason, Cao Pi always felt that something was pressing on his heart, which made him faintly uneasy.

Xu is the first time to go on the expedition with Cai Jun. Cao Pi comforted himself in his heart. Compared with the previous engagement ceremony, Cai Ji's expedition this time is unusually low-key. After a simple sacrifice of three animals in front of the gate of Longkou City, Cai Ji led the army to advance westward day and night. Due to the flat terrain between Donglai and Beihai, it took Cai's army only three days to reach Jimo City, the capital of the Northeast China Sea. Beihai Taishou Wang Xiuqin, who had been waiting here for a long time, led an army of 30,000 to join Cai Ji, and Cai Ji also temporarily set up his line in Jimo and dispatched troops here.

In Cao Pi's eyes, Cai Ji and his father, who likes to take the lead, are two completely different commanders. Cai Ji never personally led the troops to fight. She always stayed in the rear not far from the front line to discuss the battle plan with Jia Xu and other strategists, and then sent one general after another to lead the troops into battle. At the same time, groups of allied forces and Qubu also converged from Qing and Xu Prefectures towards Jimo City. In just two days, Cai Ji's men and horses have grown rapidly like a snowball, and the momentum has not slowed down.

No, at this moment, Cao Pi is accompanying Cai Ji to welcome the soldiers and horses from Xuzhou. Just as he managed to calm down his mount, there was a rush of horses' hooves from the southwest. I saw two cavalrymen with the "Gao" and "Zhang" flags galloping to report one after another.

"Report! The East China Sea is too high and Shun leads the department to 10,000! ”

"Langya Xiang Xiao Jian led the department to 10,000!"

As if to corroborate the reports of the two cavalrymen, Cao Pi saw a cloud of sand and dust rising from the horizon in the distance, and the rolling horses' hooves shook the earth. In a short time, the two groups of people had gathered under Jimo City. But see that the commander under the word "high" is in the prime of life. With a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he has a beard. When he walked past Cao Pi, he deliberately glanced at Cao Pi, and the cold eyes made Cao Pi shiver secretly. And the commander under the word "Zhang" is just the opposite. It was an old man with gray hair, dressed in light leather armor. With the flattering smile that Cao Pi often saw in Xudu, he wore on his face. Behind the old man was a heroic young general. He couldn't help but glance at Cao Pi, but his eyes were full of curiosity.

However, when the prime-aged general faced Cai Ji, he put away his aggressive murderous aura. turned to the front part and saluted Cai Ji respectfully: "Gao Shun has seen Qi Hou. ”

It turns out that this person is Gao Shun, who is "trapped in the camp", no wonder he looks at me unpleasantly. Cao Pi slandered in his heart. At the same time, he turned his attention to the old man. I thought that Langya was too guarded by Zhang He and sent such an old eunuch to lead the troops. I don't know how Cai Ji will react.

"Xiao Jian has seen Qi Hou." After Xiao Jiangong, the prime minister of Langya, saluted, he introduced the young general behind him to Cai Jidao: "This is Zhang Quan, the nephew of General Zhang. ”

Zhang He's nephew hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Zhang Quan has seen Qi Hou. ”

Zhang He was originally Yuan Shao's subordinate general, known as the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei. Although he rejected Yuan Shao's appointment before, it was still difficult for him to lead the army to attack the former lord. It must be known that even in another time and space, Zhang He switched to Cao Cao because of the bad people's frame-up. Since Zhang He sent soldiers and horses and sent his nephew, Cai Ji naturally didn't ask why Zhang He didn't come. Instead, he welcomed with a smile on his face: "The armies have worked hard all the way. This time, with the help of the ranks, Lone can also claim to have an army of 100,000. ”

Cai Ji's statement of 100,000 troops made many people present look excited. But Cao Pi knew that Cai Ji did not exaggerate the strength of Cai's army. On the contrary, if you count the relevant people. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cai Ji has an army of 300,000. After all, that's what his dad Cao Cao did. Therefore, Cao Pi didn't understand why Cai Ji deliberately concealed his strength. However, Cao Pi also went on many expeditions with Cao Cao, knowing that so many soldiers and horses gathered in Jimo City would quickly exhaust the grain and grass in the city. No matter how rich Cai Ji is. For the sake of morale, it was almost time to set off for the west.

And just when Cao Pi was guessing when Cai Ji would leave Jimo, another small school rode outside the city. However, this time the news brought was not that a certain army was about to arrive, but from the battle report from the front.

"Marquis of Qi, Yan Liangjun has gone north."

Cai Ji listened to the report of the little school, and smiled knowingly to Jia Xu beside him. But Jia Xu bowed his hand to Cai Ji as if nothing had happened: "Lord, it's time to set off." ”

When Cai Ji heard this, he solemnly bowed his head and said, "Just according to what Mr. said." ”

Yan Liang's mood these days can really be described as ups and downs. As the fourth court pillar of Hebei, he originally felt that being sent to Qingzhou to confront Cai Jiyi was really useless. However, the emperor's will was irrefutable, and he had no choice but to pinch his nose and come to Qingzhou to sit down. But who knew that Yan Liang had just arrived in Qingzhou on his front foot, and Cai Anzhen, who had been cowering in Donglai, suddenly set out to march westward, and the soldiers pointed directly at the West Qingzhou controlled by Yan Liang. In the face of such a naked provocation, Yan Liang, who was bored, was gearing up to teach Cai Ji a bloody lesson, even if he didn't crush Donglai, he would let the girl who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth cry and run back.

Xin Ping, who was a driver in Qingzhou, objected to this, and he and his brother Xin Bi repeatedly persuaded Yan Liang to stay in Pingyuan City to wait for work. He also reminded Yan Liang that although Cai Ji is young, he is surrounded by fierce generals like clouds, and with the help of wise people such as Guo Jia and Jia Xu, he must not act rashly. Brother Xin's words were completely cowardly in Yan Liang's eyes. What fierce generals are like clouds, those generals under Cai Ji, except for Zhang He and Yanliang, everyone is in their eyes. What's more, Zhang He is far away in Xuzhou, Yan Liang doesn't believe that he will come to Qingzhou so soon. As for the wise and resourceful, they are just Confucian scholars who hide in the tent and give advice, and the victory or defeat on the battlefield will ultimately be decided by the sword and gun of the general. So Yan Liang ignored the words of the Xin Ping brothers, and on the second day of Cai Ji's expedition from Longkou, he also mobilized troops and horses to rush to the border of Yuan Shao and Cai Ji in Qingzhou - Weishui River.

But at the beginning of the war, the Cai army did not confront Yan Liang head-on, but sent a small group of soldiers and horses to constantly harass the Yuan army. Yan Liang, who was overwhelmed, immediately decided to ignore those nuisance Xiaoxiao, and directly crossed the Weishui to take the initiative to attack Cai Ji's camp Jimo City. In his opinion, as long as Cai Ji is defeated and Jimo is conquered, those annoying nuisances will flee from the wind. It turns out. Yan Liang's decision seems to be quite wise.

On the morning of April 10, the fifth year of Jian'an, Yan Liang led 20,000 men and horses to easily cross the Weishui River, which had blocked Yuan's army for more than four years. Cai Junshuizhai on the east bank of Weishui was so frightened that after learning that Yan Liang had crossed the river, he retreated directly to the city of Xiami. Yan Liang occupied Weishui Water Village bloodlessly. But just as he was excited to continue to march to the city of Jimo, the news came from the rear that Cai's army set out from Gaomi and intended to cross Weishui. Once Cai's army crossed Weishui, it would inevitably cut off Yuan's army's supply lines. No matter how careless Rao is Yan Liang is, he will not be unaware of the consequences of the supply line being cut off. Also until this time. Yan Liangcai suddenly remembered the previous words of the Xin Ping brothers, "Donglai Anzhen is cunning and abnormal." It's a pity that Yan Liang didn't bring the Xin Ping brothers with him when he went on the expedition, so naturally there were no weighty strategists around him to discuss.

However, there is a way, and the soldiers will block it. The water comes to cover the earth. Yan Liang, who had experienced a hundred battles, did not think much about it, and immediately led 5,000 cavalry north to Gaomi to block Cai's army. At this moment, Yan Liangbu had already entered the Weishui River near Gaomi City, but so far he hadn't even seen half of Cai Jun's hair. The hardships of the long journey and the loss of the air. Yan Liang, who had made the liver fire rise, roared angrily at the scout. "I haven't found Cai Jun's soldiers and horses yet!?"

was yelled at by Yan Liang and trembled, and hurriedly knelt down and responded, "General Yu, there is indeed no trace of Cai's army along the Weishui coast. Maybe Cai Jun has already crossed the river? ”

"When a large group of people cross the river, they will leave traces. Look at the traces of crossing the river on both sides of the river! Yan Liang picked up the scout and escorted him towards the river.

The scout was afraid that Yan Liang would be unhappy and simply throw himself into the river, so he hurriedly begged him for mercy with a cry, "The general is angry." The little ones are going to look for them. ”

Yan Liang slammed the scout to the ground, and then turned over and got onto the horse. "You must find out where Cai Jun is before dark, otherwise you will come and see you!"

"Whoa." The scout staggered to his feet. But he never thought that as soon as his words fell, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from behind him. "Cai Jun! Cai Jun is coming! ”

Yan Liang narrowed his eyes to look for prestige, only to see a group of cavalry galloping towards him in the backlight. The big banner of the word "Cai" fluttering in the wind clearly shows the identity of the comer. And the sound of trampling horses' hooves from far and near aroused Yan Liang's bloodthirsty killing intent like a spirit. Yan Liang immediately burst out laughing. Wu Qi's halberd pointed directly at the enemy, "The little thief was hiding here!" Kill me, brethren! ”

In the shouting of killing, the two teams of cavalry collided together like two rushing torrents, and instantly stirred up a flower of blood light. Yan Liang even instigated the dark horse under his crotch to jump up, and a long halberd in his hand swept across the battlefield like a whirlwind, bringing up countless stumps and broken arms. Gradually, as if he was intimidated by Yan Liang's Shura-like combat power, where Yan Liang passed, Cai Bing leaned forward and backwards, making way for an invisible passage for him.

"Roar! The soldiers of the girls are also the girls! Yan Liang laughed wildly and cut a Cai cavalry who wanted to turn his horse and escape into two sections. He drove his horse and trampled the heads of the fallen soldiers to pieces. Just as Yan Liang was immersed in the thrill of killing, he suddenly saw a soldier not far away wearing silver armor and straddling a white horse, and the dancer killed his subordinates with a spear like a dragon going out to sea.

"Oh? And such a figure? As if he had discovered a novelty, Yan Liang rode his horse and galloped towards the general, "General Wu Na Cai, report your name!" ”

Ignoring Yan Liang's questioning, the silver-armored warrior stabbed a cavalryman's throat with a swing of his spear. As the deceased clutched his neck and fell off the horse, rolling all the way to Yan Liang's feet, the silver-armored general raised his head and stared at Yan Liang and asked in a deep voice, "You are Yan Liang?" ”

Although the general in front of him gave people a completely different feeling, compared to the cavalry that was defeated with one blow just now, Yan Liang still met the other party's gaze and replied proudly, "It's Grandpa!" ”

Not afraid of Yan Liang's arrogance and pride, the silver-armored warrior looked at the opponent squarely while stabbing another Yuan cavalry who rushed to kill him. Xu was so deep that the gun got stuck in the corpse. The silver-armored warrior simply gave up the spear, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and rode his horse towards Yan Liang to kill, "Changshan Zhao Zilong is on it!" ”

"It's really rare that you don't run away." Yan Liang laughed loudly and raised his halberd to greet him.

The rider scrambled across the battlefield, swords and halberds screeching in the air. With just one blow, Yan Liang had already tried out that the other party was by no means an idle person. But he turned his horse and said, "You are so good at it, why do you succumb to Cai Ji's cheap maid." ”

Because Yuan Shao's father and son have always believed that Cai Ji's ability to have today is all the gift of the Yuan family, his break with the Yuan family is to betray his lord and forget his righteousness. Therefore, "cheap maid" has become a mantra often used by Yuan Shao and his son to scold Cai Ji. Yan Liang, as Yuan Shao's general, naturally followed the cheap maid and the cheap maid. How did Yan Liang know that this "cheap maid" angered Zhao Yun. Seeing that Zhao Yun, who was silent, suddenly turned the long sword in his hand into a wind and attacked Yan Liang. Yan Liang was shocked and raised his halberd to resist, and a sharp metallic sound once again stimulated the eardrum, and the huge impact was transmitted from the halberd to the muscles of the wrist, which actually shook Yan Liang's mouth painfully. Such a passive move, Yan Liang experienced it for the first time, and before he could recover his strength, the second heavy blow came one after another.

Three rounds later, Yan Liang's jaw had been torn. Five rounds later, Yan Liang's left and right wrists were both hit by Zhao Yun, and the halberd that Yan Liang was proud of fell to the dust along with the splash of blood. Yan Liang, who had lost his weapon, had red eyes and looked at the silver killing god in front of him with an incredible expression. A qiē seems so incredible, yet so real. Finally, Yan Liang realized that he had lost, and a sense of fear that he had never felt before gripped his heart like a ghost hand from the Netherworld. Yan Liang, who no longer had his previous momentum, took out his saber and threw it at Zhao Yun, then pulled the reins, and wanted to run as soon as he kicked the horse's belly and turned around.

However, perhaps the fierce battle just now was too fierce, or it may be that Yan Liang was too anxious, and the front legs of the war horse under his crotch suddenly collapsed, and he was thrown out of the horse. Yan Liang rolled on the ground, and the wolf was just about to get up, but found that Zhao Yun's long sword was already on his neck. A cold light flashed, and the last voice that sounded in Yan Liang's ears was Zhao Yun's angry roar.

"My family master's name is blasphemous, how can you allow clowns to blaspheme!"

Qiongsu Wuchao went to Shaojun for forty miles. Taizu left Cao Hongshou behind, and he rode 5,000 to sneak to attack Qiong. Shao sent a horse to rescue him, but he was defeated. Po Qiong and others, all of them are killed. Taizu was also returned, and before he arrived at the camp, Shao General Gao Lan, Zhang He and others led their people to surrender. - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

Cao Daxi, is to stay Cao Hong, Xun Yu to guard the camp, since the general foot cavalry 5,000 people, all with the banner of the Yuan army, the title of the horse, the night from the middle of the road, people hugging the salary, the experience of the questioner, the language said: "Yuan Gong is afraid that Cao Cao will miss the rear army, send the army to prepare." Those who heard it believed it, and they were all at ease. When they came, they surrounded the camp and set fire to it, and the camp was in turmoil. Huiming, Qiong and others saw that there were few soldiers, went out of Chen's gate, and attacked him urgently, and Qiong retired from the camp and attacked him. ——"Information Governance Tongjian"
