As the commander of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, with a total of 100,000 cavalry under his command of four battalions, Zhao Yun can be said to be the most powerful general in Liu Yi's army, which is difficult for the second brother Gan Ning to compete with, in addition to the trust in his brother, Zhao Yun's continuous progress in the military for more than ten years has also given him the ability to bear this heavy responsibility, the significance of the first battle in Jizhou to the eldest brother does not need to be said by Guo Jiaduo Zilong also knows it, since the beginning of the war, he has never relaxed his attention to the situation of the war for a moment.

The success of the second brother's surprise attack broke the strategy of the Jizhou army to hold the fortified city, so that the initiative of the battle situation was transferred to Liu Yi's hands, but what followed was inevitably Yuan Shao's almost crazy counterattack, and now the Jizhou army is also moving on all fronts and taking the initiative to attack! For the dominant side, the most taboo now is to suffer from gains and losses, when the decisive battle with the enemy should not flinch, the strength of the two sides has tended to balance with the addition of Cao Cao's army, but the iron cavalry battalion as Liu Yi's strongest point has not changed, so Zilong took the initiative to ask Liu Yi to let him concentrate most of the four battalions in one place, is to maximize the role of this strong point, Liu Yi and several military advisers agreed to Zilong's suggestion after detailed discussion, and specially asked Guo Jia to go to the iron cavalry camp to cooperate with Zhao Yun to prepare for a decisive battle with the enemy.

This time, there are 50,000 defenders in Yecheng led by Yuan Shang, and there are also 60,000 cavalry troops at Yan Liangwen and Xiahou Yuan, plus the high-ranking cadres in Liyang City and the killers that Yuan Shao may hide at any time, the Youzhou army does not have an advantage on the frontal battlefield! Xu Huang's Longxiang battalion suffered a lot of losses in the attack on Jiancheng in the past month, even if the second battalion of Xuanwu White Tiger was already in place but could only be roughly equivalent to the enemy's army, how to give full play to the numerical advantage of the cavalry army became the key to the entire battle situation, and it was obvious that the enemy army would definitely try to offset this strong point of the Youzhou army.

Listening to Guo Jia's words about the recent war, Zhao Yun also fell into thinking for a while, until the guards brought the food cooked by the cook, he woke up, remembered his words of persuading the military advisor, turned his head and sank into the thinking of the battle situation, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "The military advisor should eat quickly, although the military situation is heavy, the body is also critical, otherwise the war will be a headache without the military advisor." ”

"Hehe, it is not bad to have such craftsmanship in the barracks, so Jia will talk with the three generals at night, the general can rest assured, it will not be more than half an hour, the lord said, it is inconvenient to go to bed after a full meal, and eliminate it. Oh, and it's not digested. Guo Jia took a sip of gruel, tasted the dried meat made by the chef especially for him, and praised that the novelty of the lord is sometimes quite difficult to remember.

"Don't hide it from the military advisor, the eldest brother doesn't know what he means by some words, but it is quite reasonable to listen to his detailed explanation, although the second brother's Flying Tiger Army's warships are from the hands of many skilled craftsmen, but they also say that thanks to the guidance of the eldest brother, I don't know how much knowledge he has in his belly that ordinary people don't know." Hearing Guo Jia talk about Liu Yi, Zhao Yun also smiled and said, he heard more.

"When we first discussed the battle of Jizhou, we felt that if we could make the Yuan army and our army have a decisive battle, it would be the best policy. What's more, there is an advantage in the cavalry, but Tian Yuanhao's strategy of holding on to it is indeed a good prescription, if there is no two generals flying tiger army, I am afraid that our army can only slow down, now Yuan Shao takes the initiative to attack, but our side is suffering from gains and losses because of the advantage in hand, it is very unwise, the way of using troops must not hesitate, Jia believes that even if the advantage of the duel is still on our side, what is there to fear? Fang was busy for a while, and at this time, the food was fragrant, Guo Jia ate with relish, and did not forget to say it, but what he said was also human nature, and the dominant side would always be a little conservative, not everyone's fault.

"What the military advisor said is extremely true, now the eldest brother personally led the Beiping battalion to target Yuan Shao, which is to make it difficult for him to join the Liyang front, it can be seen that he has also made up his mind to fight a decisive battle with Jizhou, in the opinion of the clouds, it is better than our army forcibly attacking Jiancheng." Zhao Yun said.

"What the lord and I were worried about that day was nothing more than that the decisive battle with Yuan Jun would have great losses, which was quite unfavorable for the next progress, and the most taboo in his heart was Yanzhou Cao Cao! This time he sent to Banxia Houyuan to aid Jizhou, although it is a great increase in Yuan Shao's strength, but if I can defeat it in the decisive battle, but also save the worries, there is a large army and Yanzhou containment, even if our army is damaged and defended, but it is enough, if the two armies are facing each other, the cavalry of the three generals is the main force of our army, and it is necessary to try to hit the Cao army without affecting the arrangement of troops, and the alliance between Yuan and Cao may not be as solid as a rock, once our army wins in hand, I am afraid that the first to withdraw is Cao Cao, and the three generals should carefully investigate it, If he can give Cao Jun a serious blow in the decisive battle, it will be difficult for him to act for a while after our army pays the price to take Jizhou, as for Liu Bei in Xuzhou, he is not afraid at this time! After Guo Jia drank the gruel, he analyzed the enemy and our military situation in detail, and the decisive battle was imperative!

"The military advisor is high, the cloud must obey, the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army is the first-class combat force in the army, and the cloud must try his best to break it! But what does the military advisor mean when he talks about Liu Bei in Xuzhou? Could it be that he will also help Yuan Shao, the previous lord lost his troops and generals for the safety of Xuzhou, this person has always had the name of benevolence, there should be no such villain. Hearing the analysis of the military advisor, the more Zhao Yun thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he said happily at the moment, but he still had some doubts about Guo Jia's mention of Liu Bei at this time.

"Hehe, in the name of benevolence? In today's troubled times, are there still few people who claim to have the name of benevolence? But where is the people's livelihood stable under the rule of the Lord? Fight for the world to do everything, talking about benevolence and righteousness is the way to take trouble, the Japanese text and the lord have a good saying, there are only interests in the troubled times, the previous time our army sent troops to keep Xuzhou to contain Yuan Cao to make it difficult for the two to join forces, and now the lord is under Jizhou, it is adjacent to Xuzhou Liu Bei, this person is also the true character of the hero, although Jiadu he may not be able to shoot when he is not critical, but also have to guard, the lord every time he mentions his generals Guan Yu Zhang Fei are called Xiong Hu, and now Xuzhou is rich, and will be the enemy of our army for a long time, The three generals must know. Guo Jia's words are quite serious, and in the troubled times, it naturally has its own laws, which cannot be guessed with ordinary ideas.

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this, he was a righteous person, acting brightly, and he had a good impression of Liu Bei's three brothers, but now Guo Jia has a little understanding, thinking that Gongsun Zhan was violent and unkind, and the people under his rule were not happy, but Liu Bei's three brothers still helped him to be the enemy of the eldest brother, which is where the interests lie, and he said earnestly: "The teachings of the military teacher, Yun has written it down." "The affairs of the military family only seek results, the winners are princes and losers, and what means to win is secondary.

"The three generals can understand this, Harvest is pleased, in the troubled times, if you want to become an extraordinary business, you must also have extraordinary means, but unfortunately there is no wine, otherwise you should be a big white with the three generals!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

The two talked in the tent for a long time, Zhao Yun got up and said goodbye to let the military adviser sleep peacefully, but at this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, Zilong's ears and eyes were so sensitive, to this day he could even hear the rapid breathing of the running person, both of them had changed their faces, there was such a movement in the middle of the night, and there was no other thought except for the emergency military situation!

"Report, the three generals, Guo Junshi, Yuan Shang and the horses have arrived in front of the Longxiang camp, and launched an attack at night, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time, the offensive is fierce, and the subordinates came to pass the word on the order of General Xu, the military division of our army, our army camp has been repeatedly reinforced in recent days, and it has been prepared for a long time, so it is safe for a while." The footsteps soon reached the outside of the tent, and a soldier of the Longxiang battalion stepped into the tent, and reported the military situation in detail without adjusting his breathing.

"Oh? Pass on my military order, the commanders of each battalion quickly go to the commander's tent to discuss the matter, have you ever asked before coming, whether the cavalry of the Yuan army is behind the infantry army? Zhao Yun calmed down when he heard the news, arranged for the left and right to gather the generals, and then asked the messenger, attacking the village at night, Yuan Shangzhi's move was quite strange.

"General Yu, the night is dark, it is difficult to see the details of the enemy army, and the military advisor will definitely send someone to report after he and General Xu have investigated clearly." The messenger hurried back.

"Okay, you go down to rest, military advisor, I'll go to the tent of the commander, with Jia Junshi and Gongming here, it will be okay for a while, but our army must have a good student to discuss the method of sending troops." Zhao Yun waved his hand to let the soldier retreat, and said to Guo Jiayan, this person came to deliver the message only to report the military situation and no other words, compared to Jia Xu and Xu Huang, they must be able to stick to the camp, and the attack will have to be borne by themselves.

"Night fights? This plan is by no means from the hands of Yuan Shang, the enemy is afraid of the combat power of our cavalry, this is only fifty miles away from the Longxiang camp, although Wen He did not mention the reinforcements, but we must not sit idly by. Hearing this, Guo Jia got up and went out of the tent with Zhao Yun, and said in his filial piety between walking, the infantry army is acceptable in this night battle, and the combat strength of the cavalry army is about to be greatly affected.

"What the military advisor said is, I expect that the second general Yan Liangwen and the second general Xiahou Yuan will also be cruising on the side, since Yuan Shaobo can hide the elite in the navy, there is nothing wrong with this decisive battle, and the reinforcements must be discharged as soon as possible." The two of them had already arrived at the tent while they were talking, and at this time, all the generals had already arrived, and the emergency assembly at night was also one of the necessary items in Liu Yijun's exercises, so everyone reacted very quickly.

"Three generals, military advisors!" Seeing the two of them coming, the generals stepped forward to salute, and at this time, it was obvious that the enemy had taken action, and the generals were also quite excited on their faces.

"Ordnance officer, go down quickly and prepare the torches, when it is enough for the march of 30,000 men, and it must be completed in an instant, and there must be no mistake." Before Zhao Yun hurried to take the main seat, he first ordered the ordnance officer, and the general bowed down and hurried out of the tent to prepare.

"Military division, it is difficult to know the enemy in the middle of the night at this time, and before the reinforcements, there must be our cavalry to open the way for stability... Commander Hua, you lead 10,000 cavalry soldiers of the Xiliang Battalion to Dazhai in three ways, each department carries ringing arrows, once you encounter the enemy, do not engage with it, use the ringing arrows to deliver the news, and wait for the infantry to reach the rear before attacking. Zhao Yun said to Guo Jia first, and after seeing him bow slightly, he took out a general and said to Hua Xiong, he also opened the way with cavalry because he was afraid that the enemy army would be ambushed.

"No!" Hua Xiong stepped forward and immediately turned around and went out of the tent to order the army, and from Zhao Yun's tone, he could hear that the military situation was urgent at this time, and a moment could not be wasted.

"Yuan Shao Boming, you two lead the headquarters to prepare torches and immediately rush to the flank of the Longxiang camp, you need to pay attention to the movements of the Xiliang camp on the way, march cautiously at night, and do not need to engage the enemy after arriving, quickly send people to the camp Hou Jia military division and General Gongming's order to act." At this time, Zhao Yun mobilized troops vigorously and resolutely, and after years of experience, he could already take charge alone, and after Zhang He's Tiger Guard Battalion arrived at Qinghe City, the second battalion of Xuanwu White Horse came to join the Iron Cavalry Battalion.

"No, no!" Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang were also ordered to go out of the army.

"Zhongfu led 10,000 white horse battalion cavalry out of the village to closely monitor the movements of Liyang, and report the slightest disturbance at any time!"

"No!"

"The rest of the generals will wait for the whole day, and as soon as the sky dawns, they will attack with me and the military advisors, and give orders to cook and prepare the whole army's war meal quickly."

One instruction after another came out of Zhao Yun's mouth, which was clearly organized and properly deployed, and Guo Jia couldn't help nodding when he saw it, facing the enemy is such a famous general.
