"General, letter from the lord."

At this time, Xiahou Yuan was west of Leling and south of Dongguang and encountered the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou. Neither side had any intention of dealing with the other, and had been in a stalemate in the vast expanse for several hours. Just when Xiahou Yuan didn't know what to do, Cao Cao's handwritten letter came. Xiahou Yuan looked at it carefully, and after burning Cao Cao's handwritten secret letter, he let out a long sigh and shouted: "There are all three armies, camp in place and stand by!" ”

Cao Cao asked Xiahou Yuan to obey Xun Yu when he was on the front line, and Xiahou Yuan could still understand it. What puzzled Xiahou Yuan was that Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan to stop attacking Dongguang. If you encounter Xiang Ao's soldiers and horses along the way, you will find a place to station, so that Xiahou Yuan will not fight with Xiang Ao's army.

Xiahou Yuan was puzzled, but Xun You and Le Jin, who stayed in Leling, were distressed.

After Tian Yu's soldiers and horses crossed the Mache River, they did not immediately attack Leling. Instead, they divided their troops and went south to the Yellow River to raid and go. Tian Yu did not have many soldiers and horses, and Xun Yu only found the number of 8,000, and after dividing the troops, he left 3,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in the east of Leling City fifty miles. It seems that the target is not Leling, but disgust.

The 20,000 elites left by Cao Cao were taken away by Xiahou Yuan for a full 8,000, and to the north of Leling City, on the other side of the Maji River, there were more than 10,000 Youzhou troops eyeing them, leaving Xun You with only 5,000 soldiers and horses who could maneuver to support the tired times. In desperation, Xun You, who didn't know the intentions of the enemy, had to let Le Jin lead 5,000 elites to rush to Yici to prevent the Youzhou army from capturing Yici and sneaking into his rear.

Although there were 2,000 defenders in the cities of Banxian and West Pingchang (present-day Deping Town, northeast of Linyi County, Shandong), Xun You did not think that the 2,000 ordinary defenders could withstand the elite Youzhou Iron Cavalry.

The estuary of the Yellow River.

"General Guorang, how many soldiers and horses can this ship cross at one time?"

"General Yu Zhendong, this was captured from the naval army under Yuan Shao. If it is only a soldier, it can carry a thousand. ”

When Xu Shu heard this, his eyes widened, what a good thing! Xu Shu came to the shore and wanted to get closer to see the structure of the building boat, but the building boat swaying with the sea made Xu Shu dizzy. In desperation, Xu Shu shook his head, turned around with some bumps and smiled bitterly: "It's better to let the soldiers load it up in the hard country." Ben will... Hey..."

Xu Shu seems to be omnipotent on weekdays, but Tian Yu didn't expect that Xu Shu would be seasick. And it's not an ordinary dizziness, but the boats that are swaying on the shore are already unstable. Tian Yu twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "No! ”

Fortunately, just like Xu Shu, there were not too many soldiers who were dizzy, and with the help of Tian Yu, the 5,000-strong army slowly boarded seven ships, as well as a lot of sycophants and baggage. As the coach of the three counties, no matter how Xu Shu got seasick, he had to hold on in the end, and with the support of everyone, he boarded the ship. Xu Shu, who had been prepared, disappeared at the crossing of the Yellow River with his army before Xun You sent scouts before he could arrive.

The disappearance of Xu Shu's army caused Xun Youfang to be in chaos, not only making the three armies stand by, but also sending messengers to Qingzhou Le'an State, so that the family of Le'an State officials who had already surrendered to Cao Cao might have infiltrated Xiang Ao's army in Le'an State. Xun You's messenger made the entire Le'an country jump chickens and dogs, and the armored sergeants were scurrying around the boundaries of Le'an country, digging into the ground and looking for something.

Two days later, Xu Shu led an army of 5,000 people, and under the command of Kong Rong's generals, he had already boarded the port of Beihai Country and entered the territory of Beihai Kingdom.

"Gropes..."Within two days, let Xu Shuru

Fall into the abyss. As soon as he stepped on land, Xu Shu, who had not yet recovered his strength, vomited as he walked, almost vomiting out his bile. Tai Shi Ci squinted at Xu Shu, a little contemptuous, and even a little funny. The one who responded to Xu Shu was the first fierce general under Kong Rong, Tai Shici.

"General Xu, are you better?" Tai Shi Ci, who was soft-hearted, really couldn't stand it, stepped forward and handed the water bag in his hand to Xu Shu, and even patted Xu Shu's back a little overstepping.

Xu Shu almost snatched the water bag over, raised his head and poured it violently, and in a hurry, he was choked and coughed with tears. Tai Shici shook the corners of his mouth, and his face turned red with a smile. Even Tian Yu felt a little blushing when he saw it from the side. General, this is also too embarrassing.

In this way, Xu Shu 'bumpy' all the way, followed Tai Shici, and led the army into Xiami City (now east of Changyi County, Shandong), which had been completely blocked by Kong Rong's order.

"General Xun, the enemy has crossed the river!"

"Huh? Crossing? Xun You got up, frowned and asked, "How many ships and ships are the enemy, how many soldiers and horses?" ”

"There are three ships, ships, fighting ships, and countless boats!" The soldiers of Cao Jun looked a little flustered, and they used exaggerated words to report the plot on their faces.

Xun You's face turned dark, and he stared at the general fiercely. Even if it is close to the mouth of the Yellow River, the river is not turbulent, but with the current enemy military situation, how can there be countless ships and fighting ships. Xun You shouted in a deep voice: "Hugh is talking nonsense! Quickly ordered the three armies to be on alert and prepare to meet the enemy. ”

Xun Yu hurried towards the city wall, and continued to order: "Quickly send an order to General Lejin, and order General Lejin to send troops to attack the three thousand enemy troops stationed outside Leling City. ”

"No!"

"Order General Xiahou to order General Xiahou to pull out the camp and advance eastward, and raid the enemy's rear positions to coincide."

"No!"

Although Xun You looked solemn, there was endless battle intent in his eyes. Xu Shu had been standing still before, so Xun You had to stand still and look for fighters. Xun You is in Cao Cao's camp, and has a similar overall view as Guo Jia, although he still lacks some experience in the decisive battle, but Xun You is not afraid of Xu Shu in his heart.

At this time, the enemy army was dispatched, and it seemed that they were preparing to attack Leling, so Xun You planned to come to encircle Wei to save Zhao. If the overlap is dangerous, the army attacking Leling will definitely retreat back to defense. As long as the enemy retreats, it is a good opportunity for Xun Yu to break the enemy army. Regardless of whether the main force of the enemy army can be annihilated on the bank of the Mache River, at least the enemy troops who cross the Mache River must be swallowed up and Xun You's eye thorn will be pulled.

As for the 5,000 enemy troops who disappeared, Xun You didn't care about their whereabouts at this time, and the entire territory of Qingzhou was almost turned over by Cao Cao's soldiers and horses and local forces within two days without being discovered, Xun You believed that the disappeared 5,000 troops should have left Qingzhou. Even if it is still in Qingzhou, the defenders in various parts of Qingzhou can encircle the 5,000-strong army in Qingzhou.

And the thousands of troops who fought against Xiahou Yuan, seeing that Xiahou Yuan's army was exhausted and the raids coincided, Xun You didn't believe that the army would not rush to the aid and coincide.

"General Zhang, as the general expected, the Cao army really attacked and coincided."

Zhang He, who was quietly transferred to Xu Shu by Xiang Ao, was left behind at the same time at this time. Thinking about it, if there was no reliable general, Xu Shu would not dare to take Tian Yu to leave the overlap and go south to Beihai Kingdom.

"Humph!" Zhang He snorted coldly: "General Xu is like a god, and Cao Jun is just being led by the nose." ”

"General Chuan Ben ordered Geng Wu and Min Chun to feign to pursue Xiahou Yuan and divide troops to raid Banxian."

"No!" The guard's face was excited, and he took the order and left.

"Someone!"

"General!"

"General Chuanben ordered the army on the other side of the horse cheek not to ignore Leling City and raid it."

"No!"

After Zhang He finished giving the order, he sneered and looked outside the city wall. Xiahou Yuan? Brother Cao Cao, it is rumored that there are thousands of people who deserve to be brave! Hey! Today, I will come to weigh you and wait for two catties. After thinking about it, Zhang He grabbed the spear handed by the guard, pinched it fiercely, and waited for Xiahou Yuan's arrival.

At this time, Zhang He's heart was excited, he had followed Xiang Ao for many years, and he had never had the opportunity to lead the troops to fight alone. Although he has been following his lord to go out to fight, he has also made immortal achievements. But compared with Xu Shu, Gao Shun and other generals who can lead troops to fight alone, Zhang He is still envious. Now that he has just been dispatched to the command of Dao Xu Shu, there is such a big battle waiting for him, Zhang He is so excited that his whole body trembles.

If it weren't for Xu Shu's repeated instructions before leaving, let Zhang He definitely eat the Cao army that entered the Bohai Sea before making his own decision, otherwise Zhang He would have taken the initiative to attack and fight Xiahou Yuan for 300 rounds on the vast plain.

However, the soldiers under Xiang Ao's command all knew how strict the military orders of the state army were. Even if the current minister of the humerus, if he does not listen to the commander's orders on the battlefield, he will still be demoted to a first-class soldier, and he is likely to lose his life if he is not careful. This was the case with Dian Wei at the beginning.

Dian Wei has followed Xiang Ao for many years, and his hard work is high, not to mention the Zhendong generals of Xu Shu and others, even if he is named the general of the Four Expeditions, it is possible to be named the general of the Four Expeditions, that is, when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo and killed a few children of the evil party without authorization, all the previous credits were wiped out. Not only that, but he also has to use countless feats to make up for his previous mistakes, and now Dian Wei is just a general.

Zhang He endured the throbbing in secret, stood on the city wall, looked ahead, and looked ready for battle.

Soon, a black horizontal line appeared between the sky, separating the originally integrated heaven and earth, and rushed towards the overlapping city, and the military flag with the word Xiahou written on a small seal appeared in Zhang He's sight. Cao Cao played the banner of Kuangfu Han Dynasty, and the military flag still used the Han Black Dragon Flag, but a few words were added to the Black Dragon Flag, which was different from other princes.

Looking at Xiahou Yuan's eight thousand soldiers and horses who were getting closer and closer, Zhang He calmed down, and his heart was like water.

"Listen to the rebels in the city, I am Xiahou Yuan, the general under the command of Hanchen Cao Da Sima, you will quickly open the city gate and surrender!"

Zhang He was stunned when he heard this, Da Sima? When did Cao Cao become Da Sima?

"My lord is the current prince of Zhenguo!" Zhang He clenched his fists and pushed to the upper right: "Isn't the imperial court in Hanzhong outside the Guan, when it was appointed, my lord did not know the edict!" ”

"Humph! You are waiting for Xiaoxiao, and you have long been dissatisfied with the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so why did you make such a mistake? Xiahou Yuan's face changed, and it seemed that he couldn't say such a thing to Xiang Ao's subordinates, and then Xiahou Yuan shouted: "Since you don't surrender, Hugh will be ruthless." ”

Zhang He didn't want to let go of such an opportunity to hit the local morale, so he also laughed loudly and said disdainfully: "Hahaha... War is war, I am a soldier under the command of Zhenguo Gong, a Han soldier, and I am afraid of rebellion!? ”
