Volume 6 The Heroes Race for the Deer Chapter 64 The Return of the Wise Man
At the end of the autumn of the fourth year of Zhongping, exactly one year had passed since the Bohai Navy stopped its continuous offensive against Xuzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ In this year, in addition to Yuan Shao, Nan Ying, Gongsun Zhan and others tacitly stopping the war and governing the government, the princes of all walks of life are still fighting endlessly, which has caused subtle changes in the situation in the world again.
The armies of Li Dao and Guo Yan united with Wancheng Zhang Ji, and secretly obtained Liu Biao's support, launching a series of attacks on Chang'an. Lu Bu finally couldn't resist the front and back attacks of tens of thousands of troops, and gave up the hard-won Guanzhong area. However, unlike the history that happened in a certain universe, after receiving the secret support of Hanzhong, Lu Bu and Wang Yun did not retreat in a crushing defeat, not only did they not suffer serious damage, but calmly took away all the soldiers and horses and most of the supplies, and set up ambushes on the way to retreat, wiped out the pursuers sent by Li Dao, and captured a large number of military horses and equipment. After that, LΓΌ Bu did not go east to try to get closer to the Bohai Navy, but unexpectedly went all the way south, entered Nanyang County, Jingzhou, broke through Zhang Ji's resistance, and connected Wudang, Yuxian, Yinxian, Zhuyang, Shandu, Dengxian and other seven or eight cities, relying on the water and Hanzhong, re-established a base area, and its soldiers and horses population increased instead of decreasing. Throughout this battle, if it weren't for the Son of Heaven's insistence on staying in Chang'an, it would have been won by Li Dao and Guo Yan, which would have almost been a successful strategic transfer. After this battle, Li Dao suffered a great loss of troops and was unable to suppress Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, and the contradictions in the army were growing day by day, while still having to deal with Han Sui and Ma Teng from behind him. Although there are 100,000 people in the three families, they have to stay in the area of Guanzhong'an, and it is difficult to advance an inch, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.
In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Sun Ceshi swept Jiangdong like a bamboo, successively defeated Liu Xuan, Wang Lang, Xu Gong, Yan Baihu and other people, recruited Tai Shici and Zu Lang, and the momentum was greatly boosted. During this period, Sun Ce unexpectedly reunited with an old friend, and this old friend happened to be a crucial figure in his life, he was Zhou Yu. With the assistance of Zhou Yu, Sun Ce couldn't wait to launch a powerful offensive against Liu Biao, the enemy who killed his father.
Liu Bei, who wanted to go south to defect to Liu Miao and Liu Biao, was traveling to the area of Pengcheng, but heard the news that Liu Miao had been destroyed and was forced to stay in place. However, at this time, perhaps because the long river of history has had some small changes, Liu Bei, who should have been displaced, ushered in an unprecedented opportunity. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the Qingxu area began to move westward in fear of the prestige of the Bohai Navy, and Pengcheng was on its marching route. Liu Bei had no choice but to stand up and fight. The 5,000 soldiers and horses of the three generals Guan, Zhang, and Zhao attacked the Yellow Turban camp at night, and actually broke the attack in one fell swoop, surrendering 20,000 young and strong people and 670,000 people. Liu Bei's strength skyrocketed overnight, taking advantage of the situation to enter Yuzhou in the west, and soon won more than ten cities and firmly established himself. In order to win over Liu Bei, Tao Qian, the assassin of Xuzhou, was on the table of the Son of Heaven and played Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou.
In this year, the heroes of the world have their own gains and losses, but only Cao Cao coincided with the misfortune of Yangjiu. Before he could recover from the joy of being crowned the assassin of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian invaded Yanzhou at the same time, attacking him out of breath. If it weren't for Xun Yu, Liu Ye and other strategists who offered strange plans, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others who used their lives before the battle, and Bao Xin, Zhang Miao and others who assisted them, almost the entire territory would have fallen. Although a series of letters asking for help had already been sent to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao hated him for violating the law when he attacked Yu Poison and Gu Gu in the past, so he simply ignored them. This move not only lowered the morale of the Yanzhou army, but also greatly increased the arrogance of Yuan Shu and Tao Qian and others, and spared no effort to attack and attack, threatening to eat Cao Cao in one bite.
Under the dusk autumn sun, on the bumpy official road, a team of more than 100 foot riders was marching silently, and everyone was solemn and did not say a word. With the falling leaves, the autumn wind, and the "squeak" axle trills of the two carriages in the team, it seems to reflect the lonely and bleak future of this group.
In one of the carriages, a man was sitting upright with his eyes closed, and although the carriage was constantly bumping, he always kept his body straight, showing his tough and strong style. And on that square and resolute face, a pair of thick eyebrows frowned slightly, showing that he seemed to have a great heart.
Suddenly, the feeling of bumps coming from under him suddenly slowed down, and the man couldn't help but let out a "huh", and slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of shining eyes.
"Someone!" He whispered, "Where have you been?" Why slow down? β
"Engage! We have just entered the jurisdiction of the Bohai Navy! Immediately, an attendant outside the car replied respectfully: "The speed of the car has not slowed down, but this road ....... this road is a little different!" β
"Oh?" He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Stop!" Take a look at it! β
With the squire's loud shouts, the whole team quickly stopped beside the road.
The carriage that got off the carriage, stood on both feet, and couldn't help but make a "huh" sound again, and couldn't help but lean down.
A wide and straight avenue seems to lead to the distance without end, and the most amazing thing is that the whole road is paved with smooth stone slabs, and the slate is as smooth as a knife cut, and the fine lines are outlined, obviously for anti-slip purposes.
"Bohai ......" stood for a long time before he exhaled a cloud of turbid air in his throat: "It's really shocking!" β
He suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around hurriedly, and pointed to another carriage not far away: "Go and see how is the gentleman?" Now that you have entered the Bohai Sea, do you need to take a break before you go? β
He sighed softly: "This road has been bumpy, I'm just afraid that my husband's body can't stand it anymore!" β
"Yes! In! The attendant responded cleverly: "My subordinates will go to greet Mr. β
Before the squire could lift his legs, suddenly, a slight tremor came from under his feet, followed by the thunderous roar of horses' hooves in the distance.
"Alert!" The captain who led the troops changed his face in an instant, and he drew his sword and shouted: "Line up and protect the two adults!" β
"Not necessarily!" Na Zhi's body was still as upright as a pine, he took one hand behind his back, waved lightly with the other, and said calmly: "There is a cavalry of this scale in the Bohai Sea Border...... In addition to the famous Eagle Army under General Ying Yang Zhonglang, who else is there? β
As he spoke, black clouds fluttered in the distance, and a large group of fierce cavalry in black armor and black armor had appeared in the field of vision, and a black eagle banner shook in the wind.
In the rolling iron stream, the two silver dazzling cloaks behind the shoulders of the first two generals were particularly eye-catching.
"Bohai Eagle General!" Na Zhi also looked at it, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to straighten his clothes, and slowly walked to greet him.
Dozens of paces away, as an eagle general's right fist was raised, more than a thousand black-armored cavalrymen reined in their horses at the same time, and their movements were so uniform that their eyelids jumped.
"Uncle Emperor of the Han Dynasty, General Yingyang Zhonglang, leading Bohai Taishou under his command, ordered to welcome guests!" The eagle general immediately gave a flawless military salute and said solemnly: "Dare to ask the other side, but General Cao's envoy?" β
"That's amazing...... I know I can't hide it from them! The pupils shrank, and he couldn't help muttering in a whisper, but he stepped forward quickly and bowed his hand: "Xiaguan Yanzhou's subordinates are engaged in full favor...... Thank you for Uncle Huang's courtesy! β
"I have heard for a long time that Boning is full of civil and military materials, and I am fortunate to see it today!" The eagle general jumped off the horse gently, stretched out his hand to lift the iron shield, revealing a heroic young face, and smiled: "This general Li Jin!" β
"What? It was the Divine Arrow General himself! Not only did Man Pet gasp, but even more than 100 Cao Jun also had a commotion.
Among the Bohai Eagle generals, although Li Jin made his debut a little late, he had already shined in the first battle of Chang'an, and he killed hundreds of heads of all ethnic groups in the first battle, which is still a classic battle that is still very happy. In the battle against Dong, the three heroes outside the Tiger Prison Battle against Lu Bu, and Lu Bu fled in despair. Later, he repeatedly stood alone in the Bohai Navy, especially in the battle of sweeping Qingzhou, and he galloped vertically and horizontally, and was invincible. According to rumors from the outside world, Li Jin has faintly become the number one general of the Bohai Navy in addition to Nanying and Gao Shun.
"Don't dare to be!" Li Jin said indifferently: "This general is just an ordinary general in the Bohai Navy!" β
He pointed to another eagle general who was kicking off his horse: "This is General Lei...... The two of us are ordered by the general to welcome each other! β
"There is work, there is work!" Even with his upright temperament, he also gave birth to a sense of flattery, and he said with a straight face: "The lower official came on the order of General Cao, and he is presenting the imperial uncle with important military affairs, and there is a reluctant invitation......
"Ahem, cough, cough" A series of violent coughing sounds came from behind him, just interrupting Man's words.
"Ahh Not good! Man Pet turned back in shock: "It must be that Mr.'s condition has worsened!" β
"Who is this?" Li Jin and General Na Lei glanced at each other and asked tentatively.
"Just about to talk about this reluctant invitation!" Man Zhong said with a little embarrassment: "General Cao has heard that the emperor's uncle's medical skills are high, and the world does not think of a second person, and my military division is getting sicker and sicker, and it is difficult to support it, so I have to ......."
"Your military advisor?" Li Jin's unexpected color changed: "Is it Mr. Xi Zhicai?" β
"Exactly! He ...... "Before Manzhong finished speaking, Li Jin had already rushed over.
"General Lee...... It's been a long time! The carriage curtain was raised, revealing Mr. Zhi's pale face, and when he saw Li Jin, who was anxious, he finally showed a smile: "I can't imagine that you and I will see each other again!" β
He suddenly coughed violently, and his body rushed forward, opening his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Sir, you are finally home! I'm going to hold on! Cold sweat oozed from Li Jin's forehead, his face twitched, and he didn't have the slightest bit of calm and capable bearing, he picked up Mr. Zhi and roared: "Lead the general, hurry!" β
"Release the eye of heaven and quickly ask the general to come and heal!" He turned over and got on the horse, personally helped Mr. Zhi in his arms, and went away, never saying a word to Man Pang again.
Seeing Li Jin disappear into the distance of the official road, the stunned man came back to his senses, he trembled and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of Li Jin, and said in surprise: "General Lei, this is ...... What's going on here? β
"Sir forgive me!" General Na Lei was born mighty and majestic, but when he heard this, he showed an embarrassed look: "The last general really doesn't know...... The last general has only been in the Bohai Navy for a short time, and he has not intervened in many internal affairs! β
"However, after you meet my general, you will get an explanation!" He made a sideways gesture: "Since General Li Jin has left for some reason, I should be the last general to take over the position...... Sir please! β
"That's it! Mr. Xi has been personally healed by the emperor's uncle, and the subordinate officials have also completed a burden! Manzhong tried hard to suppress the doubts, and said: "However, the lower official still has a great military situation to be entrusted to the emperor's uncle, please ask the general to lead the way...... Why don't you ride side by side with the generals and ask for advice along the way? β
"Don't dare to ask for advice!" General Nalei nodded and smiled, "Please!" β
"General Lei!" Man Zhong rode side by side with General Nalei, looking back at the strict military posture of those black-armored cavalry, he couldn't help but admire: "I have always heard the strength of the Bohai Navy, and it is the crown in the world. β
"If I also have such a strong army in Yanzhou, why should I be afraid of foreign invasions?" He sighed and said, "Xiaguan will not have this trip to the Bohai Sea!" β
"Listen to what Mr. means...... General Na Lei always had a faint smile on his face: "General Cao is not good for Tao Qian and Yuan Shu, and Mr. Special Punishment is here to ask for help?" β
"Exactly!" Man Pet patted his thigh and said, "General Lei's ...... I'm not afraid of the general laughing, Tao Qian and Yuan Shu are brave and brave, and they attack in different ways, General Cao takes care of one and loses the other, and it is difficult to support it alone! General Cao said that General Nan is the only one in the world who respects him, and now, only General Nan will help him in the snow...... Hey? General Lei, what are you thinking? β
"Ahh I am pondering what Mr. said! General Na Lei was shocked from his contemplation, shook his head and said: "Please forgive the offense, when it comes to the courage of the soldiers, General Cao is far superior to Tao and Yuan, and there are many wise men and officials like Mr., which are really not comparable to Yuan Shu and Tao Qian...... This is not the cause of failure! What really put General Cao in a predicament is the logistics after dividing the troops to refuse, right? β
Man Zhong listened to the shock in his heart, and for the first time, he was impressed by this General Lei. It would not be surprising if such an inference was made by Nan Ying, Gao Shun or Li Jin. However, the person in front of him was just an unknown eagle general who had just entered the Bohai Sea, and he also had such knowledge, how could he not be shocked?
He was silent for a moment, his mind was spinning, and he suddenly realized: If you admit that Cao Cao's subordinates are better than Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, but they are still defeated again and again, wouldn't it damage the ability and prestige of their own lord? He smiled bitterly, and had to continue to cover up: "General Lei is in love...... However, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian have been on one side for a long time, and there are countless like-minded ministers and generals from all directions, and there are many wise and brave people among them, which is really beyond our reach! β
General Na Lei couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Sir, you are too humble! Thinking about General Cao's subordinates, Wen has Xun Yu, Liu Ye, Lou Gui, Mao Jue, all of whom are the materials of the heavens and latitudes, and the Xiahou brothers and the Cao family are all the generals of the three armies, and there are also Mr., Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Lu Qian and other people with both civil and military resources, which can be described as a gathering of heroes. On the other hand, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian's subordinates, there are few ministers, and there are only a few generals, how can they be compared with General Cao? β
"The general actually treasures the characters of our army?" Man Zhong was taken aback when he heard this, and blurted out: "But I don't know how well the general knows about Yuan Shu and Tao Qian's subordinates?" β
"Tao Qian! What kind of character is he? The people of the subordinates are not worth mentioning! General Na Lei seemed to be careless and said: "However, Yuan Shu is the fourth and third dukes, with a profound background, and there are quite a few characters in his subordinates, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang are both wise and scheming, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun can be the main generals of the first army, and Chen Ji, Han Xian, Chen Lan, Qiao Rui, Le and others can barely be regarded as proficient in the army!" β
"General...... Xia Guan finally understood the excellence of the Bohai Eagle General today! Manzhong's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said in shock: "You can actually know the world's characters!" Could it be that the Bohai Eagle General, everyone is the same as a general? β
"Sir is too praised, and the last general is not afraid of losing face...... The Bohai Eagle will be three out of forty, and the last will be ashamed to be thirty-nine! He looked at Manzhong's gradually pale face, and couldn't help but smile: "But you completely misunderstood!" The last general was able to be familiar with General Cao's subordinates, completely out of the teachings of my general...... As for Yuan Shu, this one is even simpler! β
He winked at Manchu Favor: "I wonder if you have heard of the cheap name of the last general?" The last general, Lei Bo, was still working under Yuan Shu's account not long ago! β
"Ahh Man Pet was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly thought of Xi Zhicai, and almost fell off his horse.
