Chapter 67: Prologue

Two days later, the Cao family's army was assembled in Xudu, and the army marched north, aiming at Yanjin Ferry.

Cao Pi was dressed in military uniform, riding a white horse, and as the Chinese army moved north, Hua Wenxuan rode with Guo Jia, closely following behind Cao Pi.

Guo Jia looked at Hua Wenxuan's new leather handguard curiously from time to time, and wanted to ask a few times but wanted to say something, Hua Wenxuan had already caught a glimpse, consciously took off the handguard, and handed it to Guo Jia, "This handguard is sewn by Wenxuan someone, and it has the effect of taking things from the air!" ”

Guo Jia turned the gauntlet over and over for a closer look, and smiled slightly, "The mechanism in this palm should be Wenxuan's secret, right?" However, Wen Xuan has a strange technique, so I guess this glove should be effective in Wen Xuan's hand, right? ”

Hua Wenxuan said with a smile: "Feng Xiaogong is shrewd in the end, and he can't hide your discerning eyes." ”

While the two were talking and laughing, the front post reported that the forward Xu Huang had set up camp in Yanjin, Cao Pi nodded lightly, looked back at Guo Jia and said: "Order the army to advance quickly and deploy defenses along the Yanjin Ferry!" ”

Guo Jia arched his hand, then turned to the rear to arrange, Hua Wenxuan looked up and looked ahead, the northwest wind between the flat river became more and more urgent, presumably it was almost to the Yellow River beach, I couldn't help but be a little excited, recalling the turbulent river on the edge of Wancheng, I don't know how magnificent the Yellow River would be nearly two thousand years ago?

After walking for another half a day, Hua Wenxuan finally saw the Yellow River of his dreams, the spectacular scenery in front of him made Hua Wenxuan unable to close his mouth wide open, and a series of exclamations made Cao Pi look at Hua Wenxuan like a fool, "Why is Wenxuan so surprised?" Haven't you seen a river before? ”

Hua Wenxuan paused and sighed: "I've seen it, but I've never seen such a wide river, I haven't seen such a clear Yellow River water!" ”

Cao Pi didn't plan to continue to pay attention to Hua Wenxuan, so he exchanged for a herald and ordered: "Please go to the big tent to discuss matters!" ”

Hua Wenxuan really regretted that he couldn't record the magnificent scenery in front of him, after all, the muddy muddy river thousands of years later was really very different from the huge river in front of him.

When he came to Cao Pi's big tent, Xu Huang, the pioneer who arrived first, hurried to report the current situation for Cao Pi, "The sentinel has come to report, now there are only a few Yuan troops on the other side of Yanjinkou, and Gongming has concentrated the ferry on our bank, and can cross the river at any time!" Yuan Shao's army is now stationed in Liyang, intending to cross from Liyang to the south to attack Baima, and the urgent letter from Liu Yan's office has been sent to the account, and the prime minister is asked to decide! ”

Cao Pi came to the sand table, looked at the terrain map, and turned his head to look at Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao thinks that it is not saved or not?" ”

"It's not far from Baima, if our army advances eastward at this time, it is not impossible to resist the enemy and Baima!" Guo Jia stroked his beard, "However, Yuan Shao's soldiers are many generals, and our army only has 20,000 or 30,000 people, including the generals, at this time to save Baima, the next time Yuan's army attacks Mengjin, is it going to save Mengjin again?" Pulling Yuan's army back and forth like this to recuperate, our army is exhausted, and when the main force of Yuan's army crosses the river, how can we resist it? ”

"And sit here and wait to die?" Cao Pi asked.

"No!" Guo Jia pointed to the location of Yanjin on the sand table, "Our army can cross the river here in detail, lead the main force of the Yuan army to help, and then send light cavalry to the east to join forces with Liu Yanli and break the enemy besieging Baima!" This is the way to save Zhao from Wei Wei! ”

Cao Pi nodded lightly and looked at Xu Huang, "Who is besieging the white horse?" ”

"Back to Prime Minister, it's Yuan Shao's forward general Yan Liang!" As soon as Xu Huang's words came out, Hua Wenxuan chuckled in his heart, beheading Yan Liang and Wen Ugly? Then Guan Erye is not here, who can do this?

Hua Wenxuan looked back at the group of generals, silently thinking in his heart, Zhang Liao? Xu Huang? Or Xiahou Yuan, who has not yet reached Yanjin? Why don't you feel like someone who can take the head of a general in a chaotic army?

Thinking about it, Cao Pi came to Hua Wenxuan, "Wenxuan, as you know, what should I do at this time?" ”

Hua Wenxuan was stunned, shouldn't he mention Guan Yu? Cao Pi is so cautious, I should think that I will bring up the old things again in a while!

Hua Wenxuan looked at Guo Jia, "Feng Xiaogong's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao is the best policy, our army has few soldiers, and we can't disperse to deal with it, Yuan Shao's southward move must be Xudu, and Yanjin is the first barrier, it is better to cross the river in detail as Feng Xiaogong said, and then ride lightly to relieve the siege of the white horse!" ”

Cao Pi pondered for a moment, "Xu Huang! You lead the vanguard to cross the river in detail, set up more flags and honor guards, prepare haystacks to load grain and grass in detail, and settle along the coast as bait. ”

Cao Pi looked at the generals again, "Zhang Liao, you and Wen Xuan lead five thousand light horsemen to stand by, Yuan Shao's army has no movement, you two quickly go to Baima to relieve the siege!" ”

Zhang Liao stepped out of the queue and looked at Hua Wenxuan, "Wen Yuan can be alone, Wenxuan's son is a scribe, so he doesn't have to accompany him!" ”

Oops! Hua Wenxuan grinned, this Zhang Liao actually dislikes me!

Hua Wenxuan took a step forward, and was about to argue, when Cao Pi waved his hand, "Needless to say, go and prepare quickly!" ”

Hua Wenxuan followed Zhang Liao out of the big tent, Zhang Liao strode forward with meteoric steps, Hua Wenxuan rushed to Zhang Liao at a trot, "General Zhang seems to be biased against me?" Why don't you say it? ”

Zhang Liao stared at Hua Wenxuan's eyes, his brows furrowed more and more, "Yun Chang went out with you to Qingzhou, and died in the Red Leaf Valley for no apparent reason, there were no corpses, and tens of thousands of horses and horses alone you were safe and sound, although Wen Yuan was unwilling to pursue it, he despised and unrighteous together!" ”

Oops, I'll go! Hua Wenxuan was furious, but he was hesitating to say whether Guan Yu was still alive, Zhang Liao saw that Hua Wenxuan was speechless, turned his head and went to the cavalry camp to hang Hua Wenxuan in the moment.

Hua Wenxuan calmed down for a long time, because it was not clear what Zhang Liao's heart was inclined to, and he didn't know whether it was Xun Yu's person or Cao Pi's person, and now he rashly exposed Guan Yu's whereabouts, and he didn't know if it was appropriate.

Three days later, the sentinel reported that the main force of Yuan's army had moved westward, and Cao Pi ordered Zhang Liao and Hua Wenxuan to march east in the starry night to save Baima.

Hua Wenxuan followed Zhang Liao all the way, marching lightly, and the whole army only carried three days' rations per horse, and rushed to the white horse.

After walking for another half day after dawn, the smoke of gunpowder could already be seen in the distance, so Zhang Liao ordered the whole army to rest in place, and led Hua Wenxuan and two teams of guards to come forward to investigate.

Zhang Liao touched a hill covered with dense forests, hidden in the dense foliage and looked at it from afar, only to see that the White Horse City had been full of gunsmoke, tens of thousands of Yuan troops were besieging in all directions, the cloud ladder had been erected all over the city wall, the city gate had already been opened, and only the defenders blocked the road with antlers, barely maintained.

In front of the city, there are hundreds of horsemen who are surrounded by a general, who is supervising the battle, and a big flag behind him has the word "Yan" written on it.

Hua Wenxuan looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but gasp, that Yan Liangsheng was like a giant, at least more than one meter nine tall, wearing a golden helmet, wearing chain mail, and holding a long knife that dragged the floor in his hand.

Zhang Liao silently retreated down the hill, and Hua Wenxuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What does General Zhang think?" ”

Zhang Liao glared at Hua Wenxuan, turned over and got on his horse, "White Horse City is in danger, Yan Liang is attacking the city at this time, why don't you take this opportunity to cover up behind your back?" ”

Hua Wenxuan was speechless, if you want to say that Zhang Liao is right, after all, the book also says so, but after all, Hua Wenxuan has experienced the Battle of Shouchun and knows that the war is not as simple as the few words described in the book. He stepped forward and grabbed the chewing head of Zhang Liao's mount, "General Zhang, why don't you wait for a while, when Yan Liang breaks the city, and then make a sneak attack, at this time the siege is in full swing, and the soldiers and horses have not yet entered the city, once the general fails to kill the thief in a surprise attack, when Yuan Jun reacts and turns around to outflank, we will inevitably fall into a heavy siege!" ”

Zhang Liao pulled the horse's head away and took a sip, "I really don't know what Yun Chang likes about you, and he will be in the company of a righteous and courageless bandit like you!" White Horse City is besieged, when will it be better to wait without a fight at this time? ”

After speaking, he pulled the horse's head and waved the long whip, "Rush!" ”

Hua Wenxuan hurriedly flashed to the side, seeing Zhang Liao leading most of the centaurs straight to Yan Liang's array, Hua Wenxuan looked at the remaining more than 100 horsemen around him, sighed lightly, and came to the hill to watch.

If Guan Yu was here, Hua Wenxuan would not be like this, but now history has changed, and it is no longer Guan Yu who has broken the siege on the white horse, so do you still use Guan Yu's routine? There is only one sentence in the book, Guan Yuma is fast, Yan Liang was cut off the horse before he could react, and tens of thousands of people under his command were scattered as birds and beasts, is this possible?

With questions, Hua Wenxuan came to the front of the hill and watched from a distance as Zhang Liao led the army to rush towards Yan Liang's army like an arrow off the string.

Hua Wenxuan's palms couldn't help but ooze a cold sweat.
