A small temptation quickly turned into a large-scale offensive.

Faced with the overwhelming superiority of the Qingzhou army, Liu Bei had to increase his efforts, lest he be defeated by the opposite side on the first day. Liu Bei is not without a little understanding of the strength of the Xuzhou Army, but he can be regarded as a half-life of Rongma, not the dying old man who does not know anything about military affairs like Tao Qian. But he didn't expect that his soldiers and horses would be so uncompetitive in the face of the Qingzhou Army, obviously the same scale and number, and there was not much difference in equipment, but it was just an hour's work, and the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command were about to be unable to hold on.

He can accept defeat, but he can't accept such an easy defeat and be defeated in less than a day? That would be too much of a drain on morale. will make the soldiers and horses under his command absolutely have no chance and hope of defeating the Qingzhou Army, and it will also affect the next battle, or if this is the case, there will be no need to fight next. And Liu Bei is not willing to lose to a person who snatched his wife, one by one, one by one, no matter how to explain or make a defense, in Liu Bei's opinion, this is an indisputable fact. When it comes to his own dignity, Liu Bei is still very serious.

It's a pity that Liu Bei's idea is very good, but the strength of the Xuzhou army is not enough to support his purpose. In the face of Liu Bei, who was constantly adding troops, Yan Shao was not to be outdone, and invested a considerable number of soldiers and horses under his command, and soon what was originally just a temptation of thousands of people turned into a battle with more than 20,000 people participating. The generals responsible for leading the army have also changed from a few people to dozens of people. Each person is in charge of an area, and sometimes even in charge of the battle.

On Yan Shao's side, he even sent Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Wu Anguo and others, and Zang Ba also sent half of the generals of his Taishan Army to assist.

The investment of these people made the advantage of the Qingzhou Army even greater, and also made the Xuzhou Army even more irresistible.

There is no way, compared to the many fierce generals under Yan Shao's account, Liu Bei can use too few people, especially in terms of military generals. Now Liu Bei's account can only count on Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Mi Fang and Cao Bao. Among them, Cao Bao and Zhang Fei stayed in Xiapi, Mi Fang's words, Liu Bei had no way to send him to the battlefield, and Chen Zhi was too young, and he alone could not save the entire battle situation.

One can imagine how helpless Liu Bei should be.

"Lord, let me go too!"

Seeing that the battle situation below was getting hotter and hotter, Guan Hai only felt that his blood was boiling, and he asked Yan Shao to fight again.

As a martial artist, and a pure martial artist, Guan Hai doesn't feel that it is an honorable thing to be here all the time. What's more, he is a rough man, he basically doesn't know anything except to fight on horseback, he is still very young, and he still wants to play some role. Yan Shao's thoughts Guan Hai didn't realize it at all, but he didn't want to be a person who ate white food yet.

Yes, he is a rough man, but he is also dignified.

He could even feel what the people behind him were talking about.

"Behold, how fortunate this man is, because he has been following his lord for the earliest, he can be in a high position without having to do anything."

"He just needs to stand by the side of the lord and watch us fight, what a lucky man..."

If it is an ordinary thick-skinned person, he can naturally enjoy all this with peace of mind, but he is different, he is still young, he can still fight, he has not yet reached the age of retirement.

Maybe when he is seventy or eighty, he will enjoy everything that Yan Shao arranged for him with peace of mind, but now, he hopes to make some more contributions to the great cause of his lord.

Staring at Guan Hai, Yan Shao saw his inner thoughts, hesitated, and nodded.

"Okay, you can go down with your own troops and horses..."

"Yes!" After receiving Yan Shao's order, Guan Hai was immediately overjoyed. After holding his fist at Yan Shao, he immediately galloped down and led his headquarters soldiers and horses out of the camp.

Guan Hai's force value has always been not to be underestimated, in the original history, and even the first fierce general in the millions of yellow turbans.

Yes, there are indeed very few talents in the yellow scarf, but how weak can they be from the millions of people?

In terms of martial arts alone, he is a fierce man who can resist Guan Yu for dozens of rounds.

And unlike the original grassroots background, Yehu Chan, after joining the Qingzhou Army, Guan Hai and Zhao Yun and even Huang Zhong have learned, these people look at Yan Shao's face, and also taught Guan Hai a lot, and now Guan Hai is far more courageous than he in history. In the Qingzhou Army, if you want to talk about martial arts, it is only under Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Gan Ning, and they are not much inferior to Xu Huang, but they are out-and-out fierce generals.

In terms of force value, I'm afraid it will be no less than 90 points.

(Guan Hai is probably the kind of fierce general who is delayed by his identity.) If he hadn't been born poor, he could have been reused under any prince with his means, and if it was replaced by those princes who didn't have many talents under him, it would not be difficult to become the first fierce general. The most important thing is that he still has room to rise, since Guan Hai is from the Yellow Turban, it means that he was just an ordinary flat-headed person, and the so-called martial arts are just some wild paths, so fierce, with more of his own talent, but what if he is given enough room to grow? Even if it's not super-first-class, at least it's the pinnacle of first-class level, right? ）

On the battlefield, seeing that he had reinforcements killed, the morale of the Qingzhou army was naturally greatly boosted, while the morale of the Xuzhou army was a little low.

I saw the general of the soldiers and horses riding up and going straight to Guan Hai, who led the troops out, obviously fighting the idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king first.

The general himself knew very well that the strength of the soldiers and horses in his hands was not as good as that of the Qingzhou army, so he was so hard-hitting, and the chance of losing was greater, so it was better to cut off the opponent's generals first. In this way, the other party will definitely be in chaos in an instant, and he will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. It just so happened that he was also known for his bravery in the Xuzhou Army, and he had a little confidence in his bravery.

Seeing that among the newly arrived soldiers and horses on the opposite side, a general was killed and came straight to him, Guan Hai was also overjoyed.

"You go and fight by yourself, don't worry about me, this person will be handed over to me!"

Guan Hai's subordinates also knew what their main general's martial arts were, and they didn't care about him when they heard the words, and went to fight on their own, leaving Guan Hai to go straight to the other party alone.

"Look for death!" Seeing Guan Hai abandon his soldiers and horses and rush towards him, the military general was overjoyed in his heart, and the big knife in his hand slashed at Guan Hai.

It's just that...

As soon as he fought, the general was horrified, Guan Hai's strength was completely beyond his imagination, it was just a knife, which actually made him a little unable to hold it, and the tiger's mouth was even more painful.

Before he could react, the knife in Guan Hai's hand had fallen again, and the military general only had time to cover up, and there was no room to fight back. After only a few rounds of kung fu, Guan Hai smashed the big knife in his hand, and then a cold light flashed, and a head rolled to the ground.

Looking at this scene, the morale of the surrounding Qingzhou troops was greatly boosted, and Guan Hai laughed even more, feeling that life was just like that.

On the other hand, the morale of the Xuzhou army on the opposite side has become low.

After solving his opponent, Guan Hai led his soldiers and horses to continue to fight, and the newly sent soldiers and horses were in chaos in an instant because of the lack of leading generals, and they were not Guan Hai's opponents at all. A large number of soldiers fell on the battlefield, blood spilled all over the ground, staining the ground a dark red, and hoarse shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield.

Looking at the battle in front of him, Yan Shao observed it very calmly, and did not seem to waver in the slightest for his own losses.

As mentioned earlier, the strength of the Xuzhou army is still okay on the whole, especially after the leader was replaced by Liu Bei. Compared with the original Tao Qian, Liu Bei's command ability is obviously several levels higher, and the Xuzhou soldiers and horses under his command have also been trained by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for a long time.

Guan Yu doesn't care, Zhang Fei's temperament is violent, and he doesn't have a bit of leniency towards the soldiers, such a person is responsible for training the soldiers, you can imagine how bad the treatment of those soldiers should be, and there will be no sense of laziness at all, in that case, the price will make them unforgettable.

Zhang Fei's efforts have also made the overall strength of the Xuzhou Army a relatively strong improvement, at least one level stronger than the Xuzhou Army in the past.

When facing the brave Qingzhou army, although it was not an opponent, it was not like the battle of Xuzhou that year, and it did not even have the ability to resist. In the case of falling into the downwind, it is also constantly killing and injuring the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army. At all times, a large number of soldiers fell to the ground.

Time passed quickly in this fight, and it was clear to both that the first day was just a temptation. Yan Shao and Liu Bei were unwilling to talk about the cause of this dispute, so they had to go directly to the second step.

When it was getting dark, the two understood that the day was over.

"Collect the troops..."

Guan Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Soon the sound of gold sounded in the camp of the Xuzhou army, and when they heard this sound, the Xuzhou army, which was still fighting hard, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They have been looking forward to this voice for a long time, although under Zhang Fei's training, the Xuzhou army has been given a pretty good promotion, but the Qingzhou army on the opposite side will only be stronger than them, this day, they have been under the huge pressure exerted on them by the Qingzhou army, as if they will be completely crushed in the next moment.

Hearing Mingjin's voice, the general in charge of leading the army was also relieved, but he also knew very well that his side had actually been holding on strongly, in case he was deflated because of Mingjin's affairs, maybe he would be blown down by the other side and Mingjin on his side, but the opposite side had not yet Mingjin!

On the battlefield, it has always been a place of deception, and there is no morality at all, there is a Song Xianggong in history who pays attention to this, but what is his fate?

In the early winter of the fourteenth year of King Xiang of Zhou (638 BC), Duke Xiang of Song led his troops to attack Zheng State, and Zheng State asked Chu State for help. The state of Chu sent the general Cheng Dechen to lead his troops to attack the capital of the Song state. Song Xianggong feared domestic losses, so he had to retreat from Zhengguo, and the armies of the two sides met at Hongshui (the name of the ancient river, so the road is about northwest of present-day Zhecheng County, Henan Province).

The Chu army began to cross the Hongshui River and rushed towards the Song army. Mu Yi said: "There are many Chu soldiers, but our army is small, take advantage of the opportunity for them to cross the river to destroy them." Song Xianggong said, "We are known as the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, how can we take advantage of others to cross the river to attack?" "The Chu army crossed the river and began to set up a formation on the bank, and Muyi said: It's time to attack. Song Xianggong said: Wait for them to line up. When the Chu army set up the military array, the Chu soldiers rushed forward and defeated the Song army, and Song Xianggong was also shot in the thigh by the Chu soldiers.

The Song army suffered a defeat and suffered heavy losses, and they all complained that Song Xianggong did not listen to Gongzi Muyi's opinion, but Song Xianggong taught a lesson: "A gentleman with a benevolent heart does not attack the injured enemy when fighting, and at the same time does not attack the elderly whose hair has grayed." Especially when the ancients fought, they did not rely on the barriers to win the battle, and although the outnumbered Song Kingdom was about to perish, it still couldn't bear to attack the enemy who had not set up a good formation. “

Ziyu said: "The purpose of fighting is to win, what kind of gentleman's way do you say!" If you really do what you say, just go and serve as a slave, why bother fighting? ”

Real wars are always fought for the sake of victory, and if they were really so benevolent, then there would be no turmoil in this world, let alone any war.

Now it's Mingjin on his side, but in the melee, Mingjin is a very dangerous thing, because his side is likely to relax because of hearing Mingjin's voice, if the Qingzhou army on the opposite side takes advantage of the situation to attack, you can imagine how dangerous the situation will be.

"Be on guard! Alert! It's all in one place, be careful to step back, don't go too fast! ”

The general immediately rode his war horse and shouted loudly in the direction of his side, under his order, part of the Xuzhou army obeyed the order, and stood with the compatriots around him, carefully guarding against the Qingzhou army on the opposite side.

However, the battlefield is so big, it is impossible for everyone to hear his voice, and there are some who don't hear it, and they are still very chaotic, and they all go backwards after hearing Mingjin's voice.

Seeing this scene, the general suddenly became anxious, for fear that the Qingzhou army on the opposite side would take advantage of the situation to attack.

In fact, he was too careful, originally Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others planned to lead the soldiers and horses to continue to go up, and take this opportunity to deal with the Xuzhou army on the opposite side.

I don't dare to say that it is completely eaten, and it is okay to suffer heavy losses.

But this is completely inconsistent with Yan Shao's plan...

Yan Shao's plan was very simple, that is, to drag all Liu Bei's soldiers and horses here, and other than that, he didn't plan to do anything superfluous.

Under Yan Shao's order, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others, who had killed the sex, had to obey the order to collect troops and return to the camp, which made everyone in Xuzhou breathe a sigh of relief.
