Chapter 74: Victory in the First Battle
Liu Yu jumped down from the horse, and asked with a smile in front of Cao Cao: "I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Meng De is fine." ”
Cao Cao also smiled and said: "Brother Shimin is not harmed, you and I were among the princes of the Nineteenth Road, the only two people who pursued Dong Zhuo who fled west, I suffered a fiasco, and Brother Shimin killed the corpses of Dong Thief's army all over the field, and defeated more than 40,000 Dong thief army before and after, intercepted back more than 100,000 people, and shocked the world." I haven't seen him for many years, and Brother Shimin has dominated 22 counties such as Guanzhong and Liangzhou today, which is enviable. ”
As soon as Liu Yu heard Cao Cao's tone, he immediately knew that Cao Cao knew that he had been involved in chasing and killing Dong Zhuo back then. But this is all a trivial matter, for a traitor like Cao Cao, he can still be friends if he is not an enemy for the time being. At the moment, Cao Cao and he are not enemies, but allies of the coalition.
Liu Yu also smiled and said: "What did Brother Meng De say, Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places are all barren lands, it sounds like how big the twenty-two counties are, but in fact, they are not as populous as Brother Meng De and Yu Prefecture, and the land is fertile and rich. ”
Cao Cao grabbed Liu Yu's hand: "Don't say so much, go into the tent with me to drink, and in the coming day, you will set out the camp to fight against Yuan Shu's thieves, this battle will destroy Yuan Shu, and let everyone in the world know that rebellion and rebellion will never end well." ”
Without saying much polite words, the two immediately entered the camp, Cao Cao ordered someone to prepare a banquet to entertain Liu Yu, and Liu Bei also accompanied the wine.
At this time, Liu Yu had time to pay attention to Liu Bei, and he said to Liu Bei: "My nephew is also here?" ”
Liu Bei's face twitched lightly imperceptibly, Zhang Fei behind him, his face was already black, and it suddenly became even darker, and his chest seemed to be holding a bad breath, but Liu Yu was the 'uncle' of the eldest brother Liu Bei after all, so he couldn't do anything.
Liu Bei smiled and smiled, and after arching his hand, his face was solemn and righteous: "That is, for the clan relatives of the Han family, it is the duty to crusade against the rebels. ”
With these words, not only Zhang Fei was moved behind him, but Guan Hai also showed an expression of admiration, it was Liu Bei's righteousness and the grace of not killing that finally made him willingly follow the service.
Liu Yu glanced at Guan Hai, and with the information provided by Manzhong, he naturally knew that Liu Bei was preempted by Guan Yu by him, but because of this, he did not kill Guan Hai when he was in Beihai, but subdued Guan Hai.
Speaking of Guan Hai, although the martial arts are far from being comparable with fierce generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they are not inferior to Yu Ban, Cao Ren, Le Jin, etc., under Cao Cao, and they are also rare generals.
In this regard, Liu Yu can only sigh that Liu Bei is worthy of being the first mouth in the Three Kingdoms, the deepest city government among the heroes, and he can strengthen himself if he has the slightest opportunity.
When the wine was half-drunk, Cao Cao suddenly asked: "Brother Shimin is all cavalry, and Yuan Shu needs to be captured to destroy Yuan Shu, this is ......"
Liu Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Guanzhong is far away from here, and it may take time to carry foot soldiers, all I bring are cavalry, which can be responsible for vanguard field battles, and most of Brother Meng De are foot soldiers, which can be used to attack the city, Brother Meng De thinks there is something wrong?" ”
Cao Cao smiled, everyone knew that there would be more casualties in the siege, but Liu Yu was here to help him, and he really couldn't pick and choose. Then he said no more.
Next.
Cao Cao's 20,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry, Liu Bei's 6,000 infantry, 300 cavalry, Liu Yu's 40,000 cavalry, a total of 216,300 troops marched from Qiaoxian County to officially defeat Yuan Shu.
Huainan County, Shouchun.
When Yuan Shu heard this, he didn't panic, but was furious: "Cao Cao and Liu Yu dare to attack me, and Liu Bei, what is he." ”
Speaking of which, Yuan Shu originally had an army of more than 300,000 troops, and he lost 100,000 troops in the defeat of Lu Bu, but he still had an army of about 260,000, and he thought that he was not afraid of the more than 210,000 troops combined by Cao Cao, Liu Yu, and Liu Bei.
Yuan Shu first led 50,000 troops with the general Qiao Rui as the vanguard, and the general Ji Ling led 100,000 troops as the rear, and the 150,000 troops resisted the Cao-Liu coalition army.
The two armies will meet at the junction of Huainan County and Yuzhou.
Since Liu Yu said that he would undertake the field battle, then this first battle would naturally lead the cavalry in Guanzhong, and he did not pay attention to the Yuan Shu army.
Qiao Rui was stunned, Liu Yu had a full 40,000 cavalry, Qiao Rui was born in Huainan County, what had he seen such a scale of elite cavalry, but he was not afraid, on the contrary, Qiao Rui should be the first.
"I am Qiaorui, who dares to come and fight with me." Qiao Rui pointed his gun straight ahead, and Liu Yu's army shouted.
Zhao Yun didn't say a word, Pegasus came out and took the bridge directly.
Qiao Rui saw that Zhao Yun's momentum was amazing, and he shouted and asked: "Who are you, I won't kill the nameless!" ”
"Changshan Zhao Zilong!" At the same time as responding, Zhao Yun had already killed Qiao Rui, and his answer just surprised Qiao Rui.
Zhao Yun stabbed with a gun, hitting Qiao Rui in the chest, and actually cut Qiao Rui in one round.
As soon as Qiao Rui died, the 50,000 Yuan Shu army he led was in chaos in an instant.
"Kill!" Liu Yu naturally did not let go of such an opportunity, and ordered the iron cavalry to rush over.
In an instant, the 50,000 Yuan Shu army was defeated.
Liu Yu led the army to chase all the way, because the 50,000 Yuan Shu army soldiers could not run on two legs of Liu Yu's Guanzhong Iron Cavalry on four legs, 50,000 soldiers were killed more than 10,000, and 30,000 descended, only a few thousand escaped the pursuit of the Guanzhong Iron Cavalry by relying on the mountain road and water network.
Victory in the first battle.
Cao Cao sneered when he heard the news: "In less than two hours, the army of 50,000 was almost wiped out by Liu Yu? It's like a rabble, no wonder even Lu Bu couldn't beat him before, so Yuan Shu actually dared to be the emperor? ”
In addition to disdainful of Yuan Shu's army, Cao Cao also lamented Zhao Yun's bravery and the fierceness of Guanzhong's iron cavalry.
Ji Ling's 100,000 Yuan Shu army camp.
"What! Qiao Rui was killed by Zhao Yun in only one round, and the 50,000 vanguard army was defeated? Ji Ling was shocked.
Half a day later, Cao and Liu's allied forces came to kill.
Zhao Yun's white horse and silver spear, riding alone, blocked the gate of Ji Ling's 100,000 army and scolded: "I Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, you are waiting for the rats, do you dare to fight with me?" ”
Ji Ling gave a look, and a general next to him, Pegasus, rushed out.
"I'm Yang Lian to meet you!"
Such a young general, Zhao Yun snorted coldly, and when Yang Lian approached, he raised his hand and stabbed Yang Lian directly in the chest, slashing Yang Lian under the horse.
Ji Ling glanced again, and a general beside him had a waxy face, but he didn't dare to hesitate, and he also flew out and took Zhao Yun directly.
This general trembled, and in order to gather momentum and enhance his courage, he flew all the way and roared angrily.
The prestige has risen a little, but it was also shot through the chest by Zhao Yun in just one round and beheaded under the horse.
Ji Ling was frightened: "Zhao Yun is really powerful, I am by no means his opponent!" ”
Ji Ling didn't dare to fight Zhao Yun, so he insisted on not being able to fight, no matter how Zhao Yun scolded, he just didn't fight, and he didn't send other generals to fight.
