The deaths of more than a dozen people are just a drop in the ocean for the troubled times when everything is a dog. In the winter of the second year of Jian'an, in order to avenge the attack on the capital, Yuan Shu personally led an army of 30,000 troops, united with Han Xian and Yang Feng, and crossed the Huaishui army to attack Lü Bu on seven routes. In the face of the menacing Yuan Shu Department, Lu Bu, who was obviously inferior in terms of troops, retreated step by step to shrink the defensive line. In the end, after an alternation of offense and defense, the two sides set up a decisive battle on the bank of the Suishui River in the north of Xiapi City.

Thick clouds covered the entire sky like cotton wool, and on the banks of the Suishui River under the haze, Changge stood and war horses neighed. Yuan Shu stood on a high platform and looked at the all-square Lu Bu army formation like a black wheat field on the other side of the river, his face was filled with clouds of murder and revenge. After the battle of Shouchun, Lu Bu seemed to have become the most hated figure in Yuan Shu's mind and wanted to kill him the most. This is not only because Lu Bu ransacked Shouchun's belongings, but more importantly, Yuan Shu felt that he had been fooled and his dignity had been trampled on. Although Yuan Shu himself is also a person who goes back on his word, he has formed a logic of self-justice, that is, he betrayed others for the sake of the overall situation, and others betrayed him for the sake of the overall situation. Under the influence of this logic, Yuan Shu stubbornly believed that Lu Bu had to pay the price for his previous betrayal. This paranoid revenge mentality even overrode the goal of chasing the Central Plains, causing Yuan Shu to ignore the advice of his advisers and insist on launching this Lu Bu crusade.

"Crossing the River and Killing the Lu Thief"

With Yuan Shu's order, the low and majestic military drum suddenly resounded across the river beach, and the Suishui in November was in the dry season, although the river was cold and biting, but Yuan Shujun's men and horses still jumped into the river one after another, splashing turbid splashes. This time, Yuan Shu's army, Han Xian, and Yang Feng's allied army were divided into three camps: the left and right flanks and the central main formation, and there was also a reserve army composed of cavalry in the rear. Among them, the left flank has more than 10,000 foot cavalry, commanded by General Ji Ling. On the right flank were 12,000 friendly troops, mainly Han Xian and Yang Fengjun. As for the central formation, of course, Yuan Shu himself personally commanded it, with about 17,000 soldiers. In addition, the 3,000 cavalry, which served as a reserve force, together with the baggage, was commanded by Zhang Xun, a general of Yuan Shu.

Such a modest arrangement of troops was made by Yang Hong, the mastermind of Yuan Shu. At this moment, this middle-aged strategist was standing behind Yuan Shu with his hands clapped, observing the battle situation with blazing eyes. After seeing the Lü Bu army on the other side of the river, after Yuan Shu's army moved, he also jumped into Hanoi. In a short time, the two sides began a desperate struggle on the riverbed. Between the swords and swords, the bodies of people and horses were ruthlessly torn apart by various sharp weapons. The hot blood gushed out like magma, and as soon as it fell to the surface of the river, it turned into icy water. But the two sides of the fight did not mind the loss of their lives as if they had been cast some kind of magic, and still rushed towards each other's camp regardless of the situation, until the corpses of the enemy and their own were trampled into a river of mud.

I don't know when Lu Bujun began to retreat as if he was oppressed, and Yuan Shu on the high platform couldn't help but show a sneer when he saw this, and said that how could Lu Fengxian fight well, and it was only Erer when he saw it today. No wonder she can't even deal with a little girl in Qingzhou. ”

However, Yang Hong did not echo Yuan Shu, on the contrary, after observing the movements of both the enemy and us, he immediately reminded Yuan Shu, "Your Majesty, Lu Bu's army is not retreating, but our army is going deep into the enemy camp."

"How so? I look at Lu Bujun," Yuan Shu waved his hand disapplausively, "Let's wait and see." ”

And just when Yuan Shu rejected Yang Hong, General Ji Ling had already led the left-wing soldiers and horses to take the lead in crossing Suishui and chased all the way in the direction of Xiapi. Because the north bank of Suishui is a plain area with a flat river, and the right flank led by Ji Ling is dominated by cavalry. Therefore, the entire pursuit of Xidong seemed to be unusually smooth, and after a while, Ji Ling left the friendly army far behind. Not only that, but as the Ji Ling Department pursued farther and farther, the number of Lu Bu's troops who fled along the way seemed to become gradually scarce, and the surrounding terrain became complicated.

Ji Ling, who had many years of experience in the army, quickly grasped this abnormal phenomenon, but before he could give the order to suspend the pursuit, the arrows in the sky were already falling like rain towards Yuan Shu's department. The cavalry of this era may have an absolute advantage in speed, but they lack armor and are extremely vulnerable to sudden arrows.

As the cavalry of Yuan Shu's department was shot off their horses one by one, Lu Bujun, who had been hiding in the mountains, showed their swords and guns one after another, covering up and killing. The side that was originally chasing was reduced to the side being hunted in an instant. The screams of the people echoed with the neighing of the war horses, and it didn't take long to defeat the most sporadic psychological bottom line of the Yuan Shu tribe. Many cavalrymen began to turn their horses and flee in the direction of Suishui. Some people don't even want their mounts, and they run all the way without a head.

"Bastards are nothing more than a rabble of chickens and dogs. Stabilize my position and kill all the way," Ji Ling brandished his lance and shouted at the scattered people. But he didn't want a red cloud to suddenly rush in front of his right, and Ji Ling, who didn't have time to think about it, reflexively raised his lance to block. Hearing a loud bang, dazzling sparks burst out from the iron rod of the long lance, and Ji Ling's tiger mouth was even more numb.

"No, no, if you can block Lone's blow, you are also a character."

Arrogant laughter, crimson mounts. No, what appeared in front of Ji Ling at this moment was Lu Bu, who was known as General Fei. It is true that Lu Bu has been fooled on the battlefield more than once, but no one in this world will question Lu Bu's martial bravery. As soon as he remembered Lu Bu's heroic posture when he shot the halberd in front of the gate more than a year ago, Ji Ling's breathing involuntarily became rapid, and even the horse under his crotch seemed to feel the same pressure and began to neigh uneasily. However, the pride of being a general finally made Ji Ling choose to deal with the man in front of him like a demon god with the attitude of a martial artist.

"Lübner is coming"

Ji Ling burst into a shout and drove his horse towards Lu Bu. Correspondingly, Lu Bu also laughed fiercely and rode his horse and waved his halberd at each other. After a round of kung fu, Ji Ling's head flew out like a blood-colored meteor along with the armor. And the headless horseman on horseback still maintained a fighting posture and rushed straight in the direction of Xiapi City.

"But that's it." Lu Bu shook off the blood stains on the halberd and commented lightly.

And just as Lu Bu was about to look for the next prey, several riders surrounded Chen Gong and came to him. But seeing that Chen Gong glanced at the head on the ground, he frowned and hugged his fist to Lu Bu, "Lord, how can you personally take risks?" ”

"Strategists don't have to worry too much. It's just killing a few people who have no name. Lu Bu signaled that it was okay, and on the other hand, he asked Chen Gong with great interest, "Military Division, can you take advantage of the victory to pursue at this moment?" ”

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu with a look of eagerness, and knew that no matter how much persuasion he could, it would be impossible to stop the man in front of him from charging into battle. Thinking that this battle was the first stop after being hidden by Lu Buxue for a year, Chen Gong had no choice but to reply: If Han Xian and Yang Feng kept the contract, then Yuan Shujun should have been in chaos at this moment. ”

The facts are indeed as Chen Gong said, when the Ji Ling Department was completely annihilated by Lu Bu, Han Xian and Yang Feng, who were originally the right wing army of Yuan Shu's army, suddenly turned against and turned to attack Zhang Xun's department, which was originally a reserve, to rob his baggage. Zhang Xun didn't expect such a change to happen suddenly, when he was so frightened that he fled the camp alone. Zhang Xun's escape made the reserve team completely become a fish belly on the chopping board. As the Chinese army, although Yuan Shu's main formation has not yet experienced a battle, there has been a lot of commotion after this mutation.

Not long after, Lu Bu personally led 3,000 men and horses to gather with Han Xian and Yang Feng's two divisions and began to attack Yuan Shu's main formation. The reality of being robbed of the baggage, mixed with the news of Ji Ling's killing, caused Yuan Shujun's morale to quickly collapse. And Yuan Shu himself, like Zhang Xun, chose to abandon his subordinates at the most critical moment, and fled in the direction of Huaishui with a group of cronies. The originally mighty Lu Bu crusade turned into a bloody farce in the middle of the day. And this farce was all seen by a figure on a hill not far away.

It was a slender young man dressed in white, and if someone who was familiar with Yuan Shu's staff would definitely be able to tell at a glance that this person was Yuan Shu's chief bookkeeper, Yuan Lian. Yuan Lian, the word Yaoqing, Chen County Fule people. In his early years, he lived in the Jiang and Huai areas, and was later hired by Yuan Shu as a staff member. However, at this moment, Yuan Jian did not show any anxious expression in the face of the defeat of Yuan Shujun. In Yuan Shu's view, Yuan Shu's mismatch today is completely self-inflicted. Not to mention that many princes are now loyal to the banner of the Han family, eyeing Yuan Shu's existing territory. Take Han Xian and Yang Feng, who defected in front of them, for example, these two are not loyal people. As early as when Dong Zhuo was in power, Han Xian and Yang Feng had close contacts with Lu Bu. When the news of Lu Bu's surprise attack on Shouchun came, Han Xian and Yang Feng withdrew from the battlefield in the first place. Although Han Xian and Yang Feng both tried their best to deny that they had a secret agreement with Lu Bu afterwards. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two fangs are not credible. However, even if Yuan Shujun didn't trust Han Xian and Yang Feng, Yuan Shu himself still regarded them as treasures, not only regardless of his previous suspicions, but also used heavy money to entrap the two many times. In the final analysis, Yuan Shu still favored the Xiliang cavalry under Han Xian and Yang Feng. It's just that judging from the results in front of them, the combat power of the Xiliang soldiers is certainly better than that of the two Huai disciples, but their backlash is also unambiguous.

Of course, it was useless to say it at the moment, so Yuan Jian finally had to put on a "nerve-wracking" expression and say to himself that it was troublesome. According to this journey, the lord will be able to reach the Huai River early tomorrow morning. ”

"Master Yuan, do you have to prepare a boat in Huaishui?" The person who asked Yuan Jian questions behind his back was Cao Peng in Xuzhou who was currently engaged in Duan Rong. In other words, since the last time he brought Master Li from Liaodong to Donglai, Duan Rong has restarted his old job to open up trade routes for Donglai. However, this time, the object of his exploration is no longer the cold Bohai Bay, but the Yangtze River and Huai region, which are crisscrossed by rivers. In addition, Duan Rong would also receive orders from Guo Jia from time to time, but he would complete some tasks that were not related to trade. For example, the provision of ships to the Yuan Shu Department was one of them.

At this moment, in the face of Duan Rong's inquiry, Yuan Lian unceremoniously turned his head and said, "Then there is a lot of work. ”

Duan Rong responded humbly, "It is an honor for Donglai to serve the Yuan family. ”

"Yuan?" Yuan Lian asked playfully, "Is it Yuan Shao, or is it the lord of my family?" ”

"It's the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes." Duan Rong said, and did not forget to follow Guo Jia's instructions to remind Yuan Lian, "If Yuan Gong wants to go north to join General Yuan, Donglai will also use sea ships to help." ”

"Going north from the sea to join Yuan Shao?" Yuan Jian touched his chin and glanced at Duan Rong meaningfully, but the latter always maintained a posture of looking at his nose and nose, which made people unable to see what he was thinking. So Yuan Jian immediately deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Everyone in the world knows that the head of my family is at odds with Yuan Shao. How do you think that the Guild of My Family Lord is going to wagging its tail and begging for mercy from Yuan Shao. ”

Duan Rong didn't know how to answer Yuan Huan's question. Because he was just acting according to Guo Jia's orders, if he really wanted Duan Rong to analyze Yuan Shu's psychology, it would be really difficult for a strong man.

However, Yuan Jian already had different intentions, and at this moment, seeing Duan Rong silently answering, he thought that the other party had already figured out Yuan Shu's temperament. In desperation, Yuan Lian had no choice but to sigh and bow his hand to Duan Rong and say that he would talk to the lord about this matter. If the lord really has the heart to go north, he will need to take care of Donglai Duoduo at that time. ”

Master Yuan was polite. If nothing else, Rong rushed to Huaishui to prepare for crossing the river. Duan Rong didn't bother with Yuan Lian, turned around and walked down the mountain. In fact, everyone who knows Duan Rong is not a person who likes to pretend to be deep. At this moment, the reason why Duan Rong is like gold in Yuan Lian is that he knows very little about the arrangement of the upper echelons of Donglai. Most of his actions in Jiang, Huai and other places were on orders. In addition, Duan Rong was originally a cautious person. In line with the principle of saying more and not saying no, Duan Rong felt that it was better to say less.

Duan Rong's car at the foot of the mountain was an enclosed carriage, with only a thick curtain hanging at the entrance. This is to block the wind, and the other is to avoid idlers and other people from peeping into the car. No, at this moment, Duan Rong's carriage was sitting in a guest who was inconvenient to show up casually - Yuzhou Don't Drive Mi Zhu.

It stands to reason that don't drive in a state is a bureaucrat second only to the state pastor of the assassination. However, in view of the embarrassing situation of Liu Bei, the pastor of Yuzhou, Mi Zhu, who had no other title, had to condescend to personally contact Duan Rong, the representative of Donglai. At this moment, seeing Duan Rongxing hurriedly getting into the carriage, Mi Zhu, who had been waiting in the carriage for a long time, couldn't help but hang up his signature gentlemanly smile and greeted Duan Rong, "Duan Rongxing has negotiated a business?" ”

"Thanks to the blessing of Mimi, the business on the mountain is very smooth." Duan Rong's tone was relaxed.

Mi Zhu heard Duan Rong answer like this, and the smile on his face suddenly became stronger, so he said that Yuan Shu was defeated? ”

"Not only did they lose, but they lost badly." Duan Rong said that, while motioning for the coachman to drive, he told Mi Zhu everything he had seen and heard on the hill just now.
