Chapter 637: The Great Battle of the Central Plains (Part II)

Xu Shiji's outstanding performance in this battle allowed Li Mi to fully see his command ability. Vertex updates are the fastest

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Mi decided to entrust command to Xu Shiji, ordering him to take full responsibility for the fight against the Han army, while he himself supervised it.

Regarding Li Mi's decision, Li Zicheng finally agreed, after all, this is just the right to command, not the real surrender of military power.

Xu Shiji never thought that he could command tens of thousands of troops so quickly, and he was very excited in his heart.

Looking at Li Mi on the throne, Xu Shiji held back the joy in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the trust of the governor, the last general will definitely live up to the trust of the governor." ”

Li Mi frowned slightly when he saw this, because under the co-optation of his trust so much, Xu Shiji still did not call him the lord, which shows that between him and Daming, Xu Shiji is more loyal to Daming.

"If you want to completely subdue this person's heart, it seems that you have to work hard to do it."

Li Mi thought secretly in his heart, and then smiled and said to Luo Shixin on the side: "Luo Shixin, you have made great contributions in this battle, and this governor has named you the general of Fenwei, do you think it is good?" ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Luo Shixin's eyes, and he scratched his head with a smile, and asked, "General Fenwei?" Hey, what kind of officer is this? ”

When Xu Shiji saw this, he immediately shouted: "Shixin, you must not be rude in front of the governor. ”

"Oh, got it, brother."

Luo Shixin was only a little naïve, but he was not stupid at all, seeing Xu Shiji's attitude like this, he hurriedly said: "Ordinary people, don't know how to be polite, please don't blame Luo Shixin for being rude." ”

Seeing Luo Shixin's words like Xu Shiji, Li Mi knew that the key to subduing Luo Shixin was still on Xu Shiji.

Whether it is Xu Shiji, a handsome talent, or Luo Shixin, a peerless general, Li Mi doesn't want to let go, and he has already decided to completely subdue these two, so appropriate decentralization is still necessary.

Li Mi's decentralization of power made Xu Shiji unrestrained, and he commanded the army more like a fish in water, so the battle situation in Yuzhou was completely reduced to a contest between him and Cao Cao.

In the tent of Yuan Cao's allied army, the atmosphere was a little dull.

It was a stable ambush, but it was disturbed by Xu Shiji and Luo Shixin, and caused heavy casualties among the Yuan Cao coalition forces, so how could they be happy?

There are only two princes of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in the Han army of Yuzhou Road, and their strength is not as strong as the other roads, and this casualty has been painful for the two families.

Of course, compared to the proportion of casualties of Yuan Shujun's army, Cao Cao's army's losses were much smaller, and after thinking about the gains of this battle, Cao Cao felt that he had earned it.

Wang Junke, You Junda, Xie Yingdeng, Shi Danai and Cheng Yanjin, they are Cao Cao's biggest gains in this battle.

Among the five captured generals, the weakest are all first-class masters, and the strongest Wang Jun is even closer to the level of a god general, and it is also difficult to capture these five Cao Jun alive.

In the previous battle, after Ren Zhong was killed by an arrow from Xiahou Yuan, it immediately aroused Wang Junke's anger, and then he danced a big knife to kill him.

Under Wang Junke's impenetrable offensive, Xiahou Yuan actually fell into the disadvantage, which also aroused Cao Cao's love for talent, and immediately ordered Xiahou to go to support, and ordered Wang Junke to be captured alive.

It is not difficult for the two Xiahou to defeat Wang Jun after joining forces, but it is not easy to capture him alive.

After Wang Junke was captured, Cheng Yanjin and other generals sacrificed their lives to come to the rescue, and Cao Cao saw that their skills were also not weak, so he also gave the order to capture them alive.

In the end, under the siege of the Xiahou brothers and the Yang brothers, as well as a group of Cao generals, the four generals of Cheng Yanjin were also captured one after another.

After inquiring about other prisoners of war, Cao Cao learned that Wang Junke and other generals did not have a high status in Li Mi's army, so he also felt that it should not be difficult to surrender, but the fact was that Cao Cao was slapped in the face.

Because Xiahou Yuan shot Ren Zhong to death, the five of them would rather die than surrender, which also made Cao Cao both distressed and helpless, so he could only lock the five people up first, preparing to slowly heat up the stinky and hard stones in the five pits.

"Huh? Huh? ”

Hearing Yuan Shu calling himself, Cao Cao suddenly came back to his senses and chuckled: "Highway, what's wrong?" ”

The dissatisfaction on Yuan Shu's face flashed for a moment, and then he said lightly: "In this battle, our army and the Ming army were both defeated, and it is difficult to defeat Li Mi with the current strength." ”

Cao Cao frowned and muttered, "What do you mean by the highway?" ”

Yuan Shu sneered in his heart, but said kindly on his face: "Let Qin Hao send troops to help in the battle." ”

Of course, Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shu was calculating his cheap nephew again, although he was very disgusted in his heart, but he did not show the slightest expression on his face, and said lightly: "Zixu sent troops, and he couldn't win an inch, but his army was greatly damaged when he was defeated, so there is no reason to send troops at all, right?" ”

The Great Han Dynasty couldn't command the major princes at all, but he was able to dispatch the five-way army to attack the Ming, which was of course because of the huge benefits after the destruction of the Ming.

This time, except for Liu Yu, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi and others, the vast majority of other princes sent troops to occupy the land of the Ming Dynasty, so almost all of the troops were princes bordering the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why princes like Dong Zhuo, who have no stake in the Ming Dynasty, will also participate is to cut off potential threats.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yuan Shu's mouth after hearing this, and said, "Hide the difference between what you said. Qin Hao is a big Han horse, and he is also eliminating traitors for the Han when he sends troops, how can there be no reason? ”

Qin Hao's Nanyang's actions really made Yuan Shu, as a neighbor, jealous and envious in his heart, so of course he would not let Qin Hao continue to develop.

This is a ** naked conspiracy, no matter whether Qin Hao sends troops or not, it is Yuan Shu who will benefit in the end, and the person who planned for Yuan Shu this time is Zhao Pu.

Of course, this can't be hidden from Qin Hao, as well as the group of strategists behind him, and after Liu Ji discussed with the strategists, he quickly thought of a way to crack it.

Qin Hao also wanted to subdue the remnants of the Ming, and it was naturally impossible to send troops to attack the Ming, so he directly rejected Yuan Shu's request, and the reason was that he could not send troops without the permission of the imperial court.

Immediately, Yuan Shu used the Yuan family's power in the Chang'an court to instigate Liu Hong to issue an order to directly order Qin Hao to send troops.

Under the advice of a group of 'loyal ministers', Liu Hong finally ordered Qin Hao to send troops.

Yuzhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and with the time to discuss back and forth, it will be three months before Qin Hao receives the holy decree.

In the past three months, Liu Dai and Hong Xiuquan from Jiaozhou, the decisive battle between them started first.

Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang, who guarded Shouchun, also had a big battle with Liu Xuan, which shocked the world.
