Chapter 32: The Battle for Jizhou (5)
In the tent, Zhao Xu asked Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan about the battle in Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan answered one by one. Zhao Xu knew it in his heart and nodded.
Guan Yu asked, "What is Boxiong's good plan?" β
Zhao Xu said: "Originally, I wanted us to attack the Bohai Sea back, but I was worried that Yuan Shao would attack from behind, and when the time came, we would be attacked on both sides, and we were distressed!" Now Gongsun Taishou and Zhang Yan brothers came to vote, and the problem was solved? β
Guan Yu was puzzled, "Please explain in detail." β
Zhao Xu said: "Gongsun Taishou, Brother Zhang Yan, how many soldiers and horses do you two have?" β
"There are more than 40,000 under Zan, and there are also 40,000 in the hands of Brother Zhang Yan, a total of more than 80,000."
"Good! Gongsun Taishou, Brother Zhang Yan, you are willing to lead 70,000 troops to sweep the southern part of Jizhou, I will repair the book together, let my subordinate Zhou Cang join forces with you, capture the Bohai Sea, and pacify the rear, how about it? β
Zhang Yan was already angry with Yuan Shao, and when he heard Zhao Xu's words, he was overjoyed, and secretly thought: This Zhao Xu is really righteous, and he just surrendered to himself for such a big thing, you know, the two armies are fighting, the rear is the most important, if the rear is lost, the general trend will go, this Zhao Xu is so righteous, then Liu Bei is naturally even more benevolent, I have to do my best. Now I said:
"Thank you Boxiong for your trust, I will live up to the trust and am willing to make a military order."
Zhao Xu said: "You and I know each other, no need, I believe in you." β
Zhang Yan listened to it and was grateful, this Zhang Yan was originally a real person, and since then he has been like a brother to Zhao Xu, and he has done his best.
Guan Yu and the others seemed to feel a little inappropriate, but Zhao Xu was the main general, and the words had already been spoken, so it was not good to say anything more. In fact, Zhao Xu is indeed too risky, the rear of the military formation, so easily handed over to a person who has just surrendered, if it weren't for Zhao Xu's usual high prestige, Guan Yu and the others also trust Zhao Xu very much, and they will never let Zhao Xu do this.
Gongsun Zan was silent for a while, and said: "Feizan disobeyed, a certain foundation of Youzhou was taken by Yuan Shao, this big enmity can not be held, I am willing to go to the front line, with the generals to break Yuan Shao, revenge." β
Zhao Xu thought about it, that is, he agreed to Gongsun Zanzhi's request, self-study a book, handed it to Zhang Yan, and ordered Zhang Yan to lead 60,000 troops to the Bohai Sea in the starry night and have a round with Zhou Cang. On the one hand, he sent someone to report to Liu Bei, saying that Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan surrendered.
Liu Bei heard Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan surrender in Linzi, jumped happily, clapped his hands again and again, and shouted: "Good Boxiong, not only did he break Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but he also got Gongsun Boqi and Zhang Yan of Montenegro to surrender, so wow!" β
Tian Feng also said: "General Zhao swept Jizhou, Jizhou is already within reach!" But Yuan Shao is powerful, Boxiong has few troops, and when Yide returns, the lord can send Yide to lead an army to support, and the two states of Jiyou can be returned to the lord! β
Fa Zheng also agreed with Tian Feng's strategy, and Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard it, and he followed the plan of the two. Xingye sent someone to inform Zhang Fei, ordering him to repair it after breaking the thief, and then directly led the army to Jizhou to support.
After Zhao Xu ordered Zhang Yan to go to Bohai, he immediately reorganized his army for battle, and the troops went to camp thirty miles outside Zhangwu City, trained all day, and agreed to attack the city in three days.
On this day, Zhao Xu and others were discussing the siege of the city in the village, and suddenly a small soldier came to report, saying that Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Lu Bu were the three generals to fight. Zhao Xu was shocked, thinking: This Yan Liang and the others had been closed all day before, but now they took the initiative to go out of the city to fight, presumably Yuan Shao led the reinforcements to arrive. Immediately ordered 10,000 soldiers and went out of the village to meet the battle.
It turned out that Yuan Shao occupied Jicheng, hurriedly recruited troops everywhere, gathered his original soldiers and horses, raised 40,000 horse troops, 90,000 infantry, a total of 130,000 troops, and went straight to Zhangwu, and joined forces with Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army, a total of 200,000 troops. Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others were supported by Yuan Shao's army, and they were bold.
On this day, Yuan Shao immediately ordered Yan Liang to be the vanguard general, and Lu Bu and Wen Chou to be the deputy generals, and went out of the city to fight. Xu You, trial and other strategists were shocked, Xu Yu was the leader, and persuaded Yuan Shao not to send troops, but this Yuan Shao has always been arbitrary, plus the loss of Jizhou, there is a belly of fire, how can I listen to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao thought: Jizhou was originally my foundation place, and now it has been taken by Zhao Xu, if you don't help me with advice, forget it, and dare to speak out to obstruct it, is it a joke that I can't do it. Then Xu You was beaten out, demoted to a groom, and led the horse for Yuan Shao. The strategists did not dare to say more. Yuan Shao immediately ordered Yan Liang to lead 80,000 troops in front, and he led 50,000 troops in the rear, stationed on a hill not far away.
However, it was said that Yan Liang would expand the camp and build a high platform. Yan Liang has been waiting for the opportunity to fight since he was stationed in the army. Today, the small soldiers in the camp saw Zhao Xu on the opposite side of the village, the big flag was flying high, and after a while, seeing Zhao Xu leading the troops out of the village, the small soldiers came to the big tent with Pegasus, and reported to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang secretly thought, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Since Zhao Xu is out of the village, he should go to war immediately. On the one hand, he sent someone to report to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and Yan Liang immediately went to battle, and he led Han Meng and others to watch the battle on the hills. Yan Liang gave an order and ordered 30,000 soldiers. Stand up. The whole body was rectified, the knife was put on the horse, and it was out of Dazhai. led the troops out of the village, the flag gate was set up, and it happened that Zhao Xu also stood in position, and the two armies were separated by two or three hundred meters.
When Zhao Xu stepped out of the horse, he saw Yan Liang under the crotch of the yellow horse, holding a golden knife in front of the battle, Yan Liang took the lead and reined in with a horizontal knife. Wen Chou on the left, Lu Bu on the right, and the six lieutenant generals under the banner gate behind each held a weapon and sat on a horse. These eight lieutenant generals: Gao Ping, Gao Huai, Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, Jiao Touch, and Zhang Nan were all famous generals under Yuan Shao.
Yan Liang shouted: "Bah! Zhao Xu erected, take my lord Jizhou, deceive people too much, come out to meet the battle quickly! β
Zhao Xu knew that he couldn't win against Yan Liang with his martial arts, so he shouted: "Who dares to fight Yan Liang." Zhao Xu originally intended to let Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and other generals go, but who knew that they had not moved, and suddenly they would fly out, but it was Gongsun Zan's general Yan Gang, Zhao Xu wanted to drink, but it was too late.
Yan Liang saw that it was Yan Gang, and slapped his horse out and took Yan Gang directly. Yan Gang stabbed Yan Liang with a shot, Yan Liang slashed with a golden knife with both hands, and pressed it on Yan Gang's gun with half of his strength, Yan Gang not only sank the gun in his hand, but even his body fell forward, and the gun didn't have time to retract, Yan Liang swept it with a knife, Yan Gang couldn't dodge, and was hit by Yan Liang's golden knife, and Yan Gang's body was divided into two sections, and even people fell off the horse with guns. Yan Liang's knife was drenched in blood, and he laughed loudly: "Haha! Ha ha! Ahaha......, Zhao Xu, your subordinates are all such incompetent, so you better surrender quickly to avoid the disaster of killing. Although Yan Liang said this, he thought in his heart, this person is just a defeated general under Wen Chou, how can he be my opponent, Zhao Xu's generals have not yet made a move, so don't be careless.
Gongsun Zan was furious when he saw that he had folded the general Yan Gang, but he knew that he was not Yan Liang's opponent, so he was even more angry, and he didn't know what to do!
Zhao Xu saw that Yan Liang had beheaded Yan Gang in one round, and sighed: "Yan Liang is worthy of being the first court pillar in Hebei, and he is really brave." "The point is going to be. Guan Yu saw Zhao Xu praising Yan Liang, he was not angry, and shot the red rabbit horse and galloped out, Zhao Xu saw Guan Yu fighting, and thought to himself, Yan Liang should have died in the hands of Guan Erye, and the will of heaven is hard to disobey! Gongsun Zan knew that Guan Yu was powerful, and shouted: "Yun Chang avenges me!" β
Guan Yu took Yan Liang with a knife, Yan Liang saw Guan Yu when he met the alliance, knew that Guan Yu was powerful, and danced the knife to fight. Guan Yu shouted: "Yan Liang Xiao'er, Guan Yunchang is here, why don't you come and die early." β
Yan Liang said angrily: "Guan Yu is presumptuous, you and I have the big sword in our hands." β
Guan Yu said coldly: "Hmph! I see you like a traitor. β
Yan Liang was furious when he heard this, and thought: With my martial arts, even Lu Bu would not dare to say such a wild word to me, what are you to dare to humiliate me like this. Yan Liang flew over, used all the strength of his life, and slashed at Guan Yu with a knife. The sound of breaking the sky, the sound was like thunder, Guan Yu caught up, seeing that Yan Liang's knife was powerful, although Guan Yu was arrogant, he didn't dare to slack off, and raised his knife to meet it.
......The two knives collided, and sparks flew everywhere. Both of them were secretly surprised in their hearts, and secretly said that the other party was powerful and not under them.
ββToday, the two masters of the Sword Sect in the world meet, and when they meet opponents in chess, they all have a thousand strengths in their arms, and it will be a pity to slack off. In the past, Guan Yu encountered ordinary generals who only used six or seven layers of strength to kill the other party, and so far he has not used all his strength except for Lu Bu, and when he competed with Zhao Xu and others, after all, he would meet friends with martial arts, so he naturally would not go all out. met Yan Liang today, knowing that his skills may not be under him, he naturally refused to underestimate the enemy. Guan Yu also used a lot of strength, slashed Yan Liang's golden knife away, and slashed at Yan Liang's shoulder socket.
Where does Yan Liang dare to be slow! His eyes stared at Guan Yu's Qinglong Knife and opened it vigorously. At the moment, he used what he had learned in his life, and slashed at Guan Yu again and again. Guan Yu danced the Blue Dragon Glaive to fight.
"Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!" β¦β¦
For more than 20 rounds in a row, Guan Yu parried Yan Liang's broadsword offensive. Yan Liang saw that his sword technique could not get close to Guan Yu's body, and secretly admired Guan Yun's long knife technique, and tried his best more and more. Guan Yu also used the Spring and Autumn Knife Technique to counterattack, Guan Yu's knife technique has always been powerful and fierce, and the speed is also extremely fast, Guan Yu Qinglong Broadsword slashed at Yan Liang again and again, Yan Liang is a famous general in Hebei in the end, covering left and right, covering up and down, and parrying flawlessly. The two fought for 100 rounds, and there was no winner. I saw the light of the sword, but I didn't see the human figure, and the two horses and eight hooves flew over. It's like two tigers coming down the mountain to grab food, and it's hard to separate. The sergeants on both sides cheered and shouted.
When Yuan Shao and Han Meng were watching on the hill, Yuan Shao's subordinate Xu You and other strategists were dumbfounded, and Han Meng was secretly surprised when he saw Guan Yu's mixed up and exquisite knife skills. At the moment, he said to Yuan Shao: "I usually only hear that Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu is one of the best generals under him, I don't want to be so powerful, General Yan has been fighting with him for a long time, and he can't take advantage of it." Yuan Shao also secretly grabbed a sweat for Yan Liang.
The two fought for more than 30 rounds, Guan Yu saw that Yan Liang's sword skills were skilled and sophisticated, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to distinguish the winner from the winner if there were two or three lilies, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious. You must know that Guan Yu has always been fast, hateful, and accurate in killing people, and there are very few people in his life who can compete with the war sword lily, so he is a little irritable, and he secretly praises Yan Liang in his heart. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he secretly thought: If he fights hard with Yan Liang, it will be difficult to win for a while, and it will cost him energy, so it is better to use a drag knife to win. It is said that Guan Yu's knife trick is Guan Yu's stunt. Like Zhao Yun's Seven Probe Snake Coiling Gun, it will never be shown in ordinary times, unless it meets an opponent, and it will be used. Because once broken, there is no support. Therefore, it is easy not to use.
Guan Yu's skill of dragging the knife is unpredictable, no matter how high your Yan Liang's martial arts are, you can't stop it if you parry, and if you don't parry, you will die.
Guan Yu thought about it in his heart, swung his position, dragged the Qinglong Yanyue Knife backwards, turned the horse's head, and walked towards the woods on the side of the two armies. Yan Liang was also when Guan Yu's knife technique was used up, and the oil had run out, and he was overjoyed, and he rushed over.
Zhao Xu and the others could see clearly, Zhao Xu knew that Guan Yu had a trick of dragging the knife, and when he saw Guan Yu retreating, he didn't come to this formation, but went elsewhere, so he already knew that Guan Yu was going to use the dragging knife. secretly thought that Yan Liang would die at the hands of Guan Yu. Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and other generals were greatly surprised, and exclaimed: "Strange, Yun Chang clearly does not fall behind, why do you want to retreat?" β
Dian Wei was also surprised: "Why didn't General Guan come to this formation?" How to get into the woods. β
Gongsun Zan was shocked and shouted urgently: "It's not good, Yun Chang is in danger!" Please help! "After that, I have to play to help.
Zhao Xu hurriedly stopped, grinned, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, the show has just begun." β
