Chapter 27: Calculation within Calculation (3)

The Han family is the largest scholar family in Jizhou. The three generations of ancestors have followed the Yuan family and witnessed the glory of the fourth generation and three princes of the Yuan family. Han Shizhong, the head of the Han family, has been following Yuan Shao. even once married Jin Lan and called him a brother. Now, even Yuan Shang saw him and respectfully called "Uncle!" ”

Han Shizhong has two sons, the eldest son, Han Yunshan. After Yuan Shang became the Marquis of Ye, he was named the right general and commanded all the troops in Jizhou City. This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Shang had to be extremely polite to Han Shizhong, most of the Han family's cronies were in important positions. Especially the second son of the Han family, Han Li...

Han Li has been familiar with all kinds of books since he was a child, and his literary talent is extremely high, and he has the name of the first genius in Jizhou. Han Shizhong loves this little son very much, and he wants to keep him by his side. Trained to become the successor of the Han family, but unfortunately Han Li respected the way of Confucianism and resolutely did not do anything arrogant. In order to dispel Han Shizhong's thoughts, he volunteered to go to the border county...

Even so, Han Shizhong did not give up. He operated up and down, and mobilized 30,000 elite soldiers to go to Pingyuan County. Later, Yuan Shang succeeded the Marquis of Ye, and he used it in the name of preventing Yuan Tan from raising troops. And he mobilized 30,000 soldiers and horses, and so on. The soldiers and horses in Jizhou, the Han family mastered one-third. The power is in full swing...

In Pingyuan County, Han Fuzhong. Han Li was sitting upright at the table, holding a book and reading it intently. Suddenly, footsteps were heard, and two people slowly entered.

"See your lord!!"

The comers were Zhu Ling, the general of Zhengxi, and Xin Ping, a strategist.

"Why are you in such a hurry, do you have to come while I'm studying?"

"My lord, according to the Malay report, Xu Chu, the general of the Cao army, led an army of 50,000 and came to us!! I'm afraid I want to attack Plains County! ”

Zhu Ling clenched his fists and said.

"Oh, is that all? So what is the general's plan? ”

Han Li said casually, the wooden tablet in his hand slowly rolling. Xin Ping on the side hurriedly said

"My lord, Cao Jun has come from afar. Already very tired, the front is so long, the supply is definitely not strong. Now they are coming against us, if only the Lord sends a surprise army. Go around behind them, and cut off their bread and grass. We will not be able to hold on for another month. Cao's army will be defeated!! ”

After hearing this, Han Li's eyelids rolled. Putting down the wooden slip in his hand, he said to Xin Ping seriously:

"The Master once said that if the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, the word will not be accomplished. Now the Cao army is attacking me, and the division is unknown. We are the teachers of righteousness, so why should we be afraid? A gentleman disdains to make small moves. There is no need to secretly cut off his food and grass, just use my righteous teacher to fight with them in a dignified and honest manner, and let the world see it. We're not that easy to mess with! ”

Xin Ping was about to speak, but Han Li shook his sleeves. Walked out.

"Pass my orders. The whole armament war, Xu Chu is a reckless man, he can be captured in one battle!! ”

Zhu Ling sighed deeply, he had long known that this was the result. can only silently carry out Han Li's orders.

Xu Chu set up camp less than five miles away from Pingyuan County. He personally deployed the defense and patrolled for a long time before returning to the Chinese army's tent.

Xu Tian and Zhang He were sitting on both sides of the tent, and after Xu Chu came in. Zhang He spoke first.

"How this battle is fought, it depends on how that Han Li makes a move. What I'm most worried about is that he can't hold on, then we will be very passive! ”

"You say that he has adhered to the Confucian way all his life?! If that's the case, don't worry about this problem. ”

Xu Tian said slowly.

"yes, this guy is stubborn. It is said that his father wanted him to inherit the family business, but he gave it to his brother in the name of not daring to trespass, so he will guard here! ”

Just then, the guards came in through the door. Holding a white silk horse in his hand.

"General Qiyu, this is a war letter sent by Han Li, the county guard of Pingyuan County!!"

Xu Chu got up violently and stepped forward in two steps. grabbed the silk silk and glanced at it, and snorted coldly.

"Well, we haven't done it yet. Everyone has sent it to the door, okay! Good!! Tomorrow, I want this scholar to know what war is!! ”

In the early morning of the second day, there was a faint loud noise outside the camp gate. Xu Chu and the three of them climbed the camp gate tower and looked forward...

Three thousand black-armored sergeants wielded huge shields. Surrounded by two thousand ironclad armies armed with spears and a thousand archers ready to attack. Fourteen thousand infantry, divided into four squares. Han Li, who was standing in the middle chariot, was protected by it, and in addition to the infantry, there were 10,000 iron cavalry running around the large array of the Chinese army. A large array of free advance and retreat was placed on the battlefield, the drums of war sounded, and the roar of the 30,000 army shook the sky...

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Chu's mouth.

"General Zhang is right, this Han Li is really a nerd. I only need 10,000 people to break the formation!! Strategist, wait for me to break the formation. You will kill him, and I will let him have 30,000 people without returning!! ”

"General be careful!!"

"It's okay to !! material"

The camp gate was wide open, and Xu Chu rushed out with 10,000 elite soldiers, only to see 3,000 iron cavalry divided into two teams. A cone was formed on both sides, followed by three thousand ironclad soldiers with spears. Four thousand infantry rushed out, if you looked down from the sky. The formation led by Xu Chu is like a sharp cone, and Xu Chu himself is at the very top of this sharp cone...

The drums of war roared, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Xu Chu took the lead and rushed into the Yuan army's array. For a while, flesh and blood flew and screamed again and again. Many of the Cao troops who rushed were either shot by bows and arrows. Or be picked off the horse by a spear and die with a whimper.

But even so, the gap in the large array was opened. The iron cavalry that rushed into Yuan's large array on both sides quickly dispersed to both sides, increasing their destructive power. Later, the ironclad army and the infantry army entered one after another, and for a while, the Yuan army was in chaos.

Zhang He on the upper floor of the camp gate saw the scene and said to Xu Tian:

"This cone formation, if it is not a tiger general like General Xu, it can't be controlled. The military advisor please guard the camp, and I will lead the army to kill it!! ”

"General Zhang, be careful!!"

Xu Tian clenched his fists and said, and then followed. Zhang He led 20,000 horses to kill, and the tide of the battle quickly turned around. Han Li's decent formation was rushed by Xu Chu like this, as long as the formation was opened, the army's morale was in chaos. The ending is already doomed. Han Li led 2,000 remnants of the army back to the city, and in this battle, more than 20,000 Yuan troops were annihilated. Victory...
