Xu Rong's judgment shocked Cao Cao, so Cao Cao did not hesitate for a moment, and resolutely ordered: "All the camps will be pulled out and the troops will be withdrawn overnight." ”

Xu Rong immediately echoed: "You can't stay here for a long time, more than 500,000 troops are wrapped around, once they are entangled, our army will have no place to bury." Ming Gong, please take the lead and ride forward, I should be cut off. ”

Cao Cao couldn't care about his modesty, so he hurriedly arranged a plan for the suspicious soldiers, led two thousand light horsemen, rushed to Juping, and joined Guo Jia. The follow-up men and horses, under the leadership of Xu Rong, rushed all the way south and encountered the Third Army near Guishan (Gaoli Mountain). At this moment, the killer of the Qingzhou West Road Army, 45,000 alien cavalry, suddenly appeared, roared, and dispersed the phalanx that Xu Rong had worked so hard to form.

"The tide is over." Xu Rong knew in his heart that although the recruits in Yanzhou adopted the Qingzhou military system and were very tightly organized, Yanzhou only learned its form and did not get its spirit.

Qingzhou soldiers are ranked by martial arts, and knights are knighted by military merits, soldiers are a glorious profession, and officers are a symbol of status.

The Yanzhou military system is still used for thousands of years. Discrimination against military households, tattoos on the faces of military households, to prevent escape, children and grandchildren for generations of military registration, although the army cultivated in this way, although the organization is tight, but the soldiers do not have a sense of honor, do not have the consciousness of fighting to the death, once the formation is scattered, the army will be out of control.

Xu Rong raised his head and looked at the west. In the dusty sun, in the shrill whistle of the alien cavalry, the orderly sound of drums was faintly heard.

"The Third Legion is coming." Xu Rong's heart trembled, Qingzhou soldiers. The killing is extremely cold-blooded, even the most tragic rushing and colliding formations, they are in this unhurried drum beat, like a rhythmic war machine, only knowing how to step on the rhythm of the drum, advancing layer by layer, advancing. This kind of ruthless killing, even if the veteran generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time see it, they will be torn apart by the dull atmosphere, and the Yanzhou army, which has not experienced a vicious battle, their nerves are simply impossible to withstand this extreme cold-bloodedness.

It takes three years to train a regiment, and the military horns, drums and trumpets of the Qingzhou soldiers are restored. Miscellaneous, the people who were urgently recruited would not have a strong combat power in the short term without running-in, so although there were many enemies in the north, east and south, Cao Cao and Xu Rong didn't care at all, they were afraid that the third army in the west would play some tricks.

Xu Rong immediately made a decision, raised his knife and shouted: "Follow. I came, and the whole army went south, and advanced in a surprise attack. ”

At this time, if these frightened soldiers were to face the Third Legion, he. They will not fight desperately, and they are likely to be defeated, and now, only by inspiring them to escape can this army be brought out of the dead.

The Yanzhou sergeant was ignorant, and only knew that with the . The flow of people ran, Xu Rong took the lead, and under the continuous greeting of the guards, the soldiers of the Yanzhou rear army discarded their weapons and armor and ran with the crowd......

In a moment, Xu Rong caught up with the Chinese army, and from a distance, he saw that the 30,000 Chinese troops under the commander of the ban had already set up a defensive position and were waiting for it.

Xu Rong secretly said in his heart: Yu Wen really has a way of governing the army.

Immediately, Xu Rong turned around and shouted to the rear army: "Go from both sides, the rear army is assembled behind the forbidden array." ”

In the chaos of the army, Xu Rong did not have Zhang Fei's loud voice, and in a panic, where did the soldiers of the rear army hear his order, and when they saw that their friendly troops were in front, they were overjoyed, and rushed towards the Chinese army in a mess.

Xu Rong suddenly woke up and shouted loudly: "Trumpeters and drummers gather under the military flag." Just as they were being greeted by a heavy sweat, the Chinese army suddenly sounded the horn of attack, and the arrows rained down on the rear soldiers, and the rear soldiers who were suddenly attacked scattered to avoid the arrows.

Yu Ban jumped out of the formation and swore loudly: "The rear army is going around the formation, and those who dare to collide with the formation will be killed!" ”

The frightened rear soldiers turned their faces to look at Xu Rong, Xu Rong sighed, and took the lead in walking around the formation.

After a while, the Third Legion pursued to the front of the forbidden formation, and saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so it stood on its heels.

"Blow the trumpet, organize the cavalry, and prepare to charge." Lu Su ordered.

The action of attacking the rear army just now caused the cavalry to disrupt the formation, and the cavalry was the best weapon to deal with the forbidden army that was waiting for the battle.

"I'd like to see how long you can stay, and order the soldiers to launch small tentative attacks in battalions." Lu Su smiled confidently.

Time is obviously unfavorable for the forbidden army, Qingzhou reinforcements continue to arrive, Huang Zhong has broken through Bao Xin's blockade, Kaicheng pursuit. With the passage of time, the Qingzhou soldiers will become more and more dominant, and Yu Ban chose to confront the Qingzhou soldiers at this time, although out of necessity, it was not easy for him to get out.

Soon, Yu Ban obviously realized that the situation was bad, and after Xu Rong finished forming his team, Yu Ban immediately ordered the Chinese army to slowly retreat and reline behind Xu Rongjun.

"Then, it was Xu Rongjun who stepped back and lined up, so that the rotation did not stop, and he could get out." Lu Su observed the enemy's situation and said, "Unfortunately, he didn't expect that our army's infantry had recovered their strength after a period of rest, and the cavalry had just finished marshalling. Xu Rongjun is a newly defeated army, how can he have the will to fight. Gentlemen, when Xu Rongjun was exposed, he began to attack in an all-out way. Then, we drove Xu Rong's army, squeezed into the forbidden army's formation, and slaughtered the routed soldiers with cavalry inserted into the opponent's formation. ”

World War I. In this battle, Lu Su was sharp and gave full play to his talents. In the first battle, it was judged that Xu Rongjun was like an arrow and could not endure a long battle, so he raised troops to cover Guishan and scattered the Cao army array with a fast cavalry assault. Then slowly advance with infantry to force Xu Rong to retreat. When Yu Ban lined up in the array, he wandered outside the formation again, repeatedly exerting pressure to make Yu Ban unable to escape. When Xu Rongjun was exposed in front of the battle, he immediately launched the final blow. Under such a series of responses, the defeat of the two famous generals and Xu Rong is inevitable.

Lu Su was one of the four generals of Eastern Wu, but in history, he and Zhou Yu, another four generals, were always written as literati with lupine scarves. This is because the history of China has always been written by literati, and the literati feel that it is a very fulfilling thing to bow down to thousands of soldiers in the palm of their hands, and in order to prevent the martial artists from monopolizing this yy career, they always like to say that the military generals are illiterate martial artists, so that people feel that war does not require professional knowledge, and even illiterate can be competent. In this way, they have good reason to talk on paper.

As for the particularly famous military generals, the literati also had a way to deal with them, that is, to describe them as literati, put gold on their faces, and create a theoretical basis for their blind command. Under such a literary style, Zhou Yu and Lu Su became literati. In modern times, Han Fuqu, a warlord in Shandong, was ruined by the literati as a reckless man who could not read big characters. In fact, Han Fuqu was born in Baoding Military Academy and is a professionally trained Beiyang soldier.

This distortion of the literati in disregard of the facts has caused great headaches for people of insight in history. Prior to this, Cao Cao promoted and reused literati and warriors from the lower strata of society in Yanzhou, and implemented the idea of "meritocracy", which broke the traditional idea of "virtue" and family origin pursued since the Han Dynasty, and also aroused strong resistance from Yanzhou families and scholars.

Cao Cao was a fierce man, unlike Liu Bei, who had used the Yellow Turbans to drive dissident forces out of Qingzhou before the policy was implemented, and later purged opponents under the guise of Liu Bu's rebellion. For those literati who were only empty talk and useless, Cao Cao was too lazy to entangle, raised his knife, killed the son of a meritorious man, Bian Rang, a famous scholar named Jiujiang Taishou, and slaughtered his three clans.

However, the Confucian scholars did not succeed enough, but they failed more than enough. Cao Cao's massacre of "celebrities" caused an undercurrent to surge in Yanzhou, and the forces opposing Cao Cao became more and more arrogant under the distortion of the literati.

Cao Cao's Juping did not stay long, received the news of the defeat of the rear army and the Chinese army, Yu Ban led the remnants of 30,000 soldiers to run back, Xu Rong's whereabouts are unknown, and the remaining 70,000 soldiers were killed or captured, at this moment, although Cao Cao did not want to fight, he could not help but not fight - the 21st Army Corps of Beihai and Taishan Counties of Mu County has been diverted into Liangfu Mountain, according to Juping less than 100 li (Hanli), the Third Army took advantage of the victory and entered Snake Hill, Huang Zhong pursued the troops to Bo County, and the 34 Army Corps of Qi State and Jinan County led by Tian Feng also rushed to the battlefield, and the forward has joined Huang Zhong.

"Surrounded on three sides, if you don't fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of trouble", Yu Ban was high-spirited: "My lord, the Qingzhou soldiers are all temporarily recruited, and our sergeants have been trained for a long time. If our army fights against the Jiancheng Juping and opens the city, with more than 200,000 troops and horses, it may not be defeated again. ”

These soldiers are all from the forbidden training, the first battle of Guishan, Lu Su drove Xu Rong's defeated troops to squeeze in the forbidden position, making him unwilling to lose. Today, the Qingzhou soldiers are surrounded on three sides and seem to be irresistible, but under the conditions of communication in ancient times, it is impossible for the three armies to attack at the same time.

Yu Ban's plan was: to rely on the fortified city, each to break the enemy from three sides, and the disabled legions could withdraw to the city at any time for reorganization, and then go out of the city to fight. In this way, the Qingzhou soldiers who alternately went into battle to deal with the people and the strong were also victorious and defeated.

"There are still tens of thousands of people in Juping City, we have recruited all the people, plus a small number of men and horses to defend the city, the main force out of the city to attack the army of Liangfu Mountain first, this army is about the same strength as our army, with the combat power of our army, it will be able to go down with a drum. Then, we returned to rest and recuperate, and then chose the opportunity to break the enemy in the north and west, and there was still a six-point chance of victory in this battle. Yu Ban continued to add.

Cao Cao was an adventurous man, who struggled at the slightest hint of hope, and when he heard that there was still a six-point chance of victory, he was overjoyed, and stood up with a sigh of relief, ready to give orders.

"No", Guo Jia hurriedly stopped: "Wen Ze (Yu Ban), your theory is very good, but you have forgotten that the giant plain belongs to Liu Bei's rule, Liu Bei has a deep set of control over people's hearts, and the people under his rule are strong and abnormal, so we can't look at Juping as an ordinary county." Once our army loses its superior strength in the city, I am afraid that it will never be able to return to the city. ”

Cao Cao got Guo Jia's reminder, and after a little consideration, he ordered: "In this case, before the enemy army arrives, I will slaughter the people of the whole city to calm the rear." ”

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, and persuaded again: "Lord, Mount Tai was originally under the rule of Yanzhou, so our army entered, and the resistance was not strong. If the lord starts to slaughter the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to govern Mount Tai in the future. In addition, Liu Bei was extremely protective of his people, and once our army slaughtered the city, it became an endless situation with him. I believe that if our army is not sure of replacing it, it is better to retreat and wait for future plots. ”

Cao Cao glared at Guo Jia fiercely and asked, "Fengxiao (Guo Jia), in your opinion, how should today's battle be handled?" ”

Guo Jiashu raised a few fingers and said: "Mount Tai was originally under the rule of Yanzhou, and our army entered Mount Tai just to exercise its own right to rule. The lord can send someone to send a letter to reprimand Liu Bei for overstepping, so as to break the morale of the enemy army and slow down the enemy's advance. ”

The letter was sent to Bo County, but Huang Zhong did not dare to call the shots, and hurriedly forwarded it to Tian Feng in the back.

After Tian Feng read the letter, he smiled faintly: "The lord often says that the plan of filial piety is unpredictable, let us pay more attention." Now it seems that the benevolence and morality of filial piety and obedience to Confucianism are no longer at the same level as us. Come, write to him, ......"

The scribe pounced on the pen and paper, and Tian Feng read loudly: "The truth is always within the range of the bow and arrow - who Mount Tai belongs to is determined by the bow and arrow." Thou hast given me an army, and I have met him with an army. What kind of righteousness to talk about, it's funny! ”

After speaking, Tian Feng waved his hand and ordered: "Order Lu Su of the Third Army of the Right Wing and Guan Hai of the Northern Navy Regiment of the Left Wing, and the whole army will speed up their actions and converge under Juping City within three days." ”

In the upper reaches of the Fenshui River, Longshan, halfway up the mountainside where a cavalry squad was scattered, two cavalry generals used binoculars to observe the movement under the mountain.

"The lord should not capture the city of Zishi", a cavalry general put down the binoculars and said: "The Xiongnu are scattered, even if the lord deliberately preaches the action of sending troops and gives the Huns a month to gather troops, he should pause under the city of Zishi and surround the reinforcements, in order to determine the Xiongnu in a war." The capture of Zishi City prematurely exposed the strength of our army, so that the Xiongnu chose to disperse and retreat, and held on to our army for a long time, which was not conducive to a quick victory for our army. Zilong, we can't afford to make this mistake again. ”

Zilong (Zhao Yun) replied: "The lord was filled with righteous indignation at that time, and he captured Zishi City, and he already understood his mistake. Otherwise, how could we be alone responsible for attacking the right Huns. General Zhang should not speculate wildly, in my opinion, we should concentrate on formulating a strategy for attacking Hungary. ”

General Zhang is Zhang He, he raised the binoculars, looked at the Yu Fuluo army at the foot of the mountain again, and said: "It seems that Yu Fuluo persuaded the central Xiongnu to send troops unsuccessfully, so I want to go to the right Xiongnu to test again." I decided that we would follow Yufula all the way to the Right Huns, and no matter what intentions the Right Huns had, our army would attack. If the central Huns do not react, we will take the right Huns and then return to the army to fight. Zilong, what do you think? ”

Zhao Yun put down the binoculars and said, "I approve!" The war has been going on for too long, and the lord urgently needs to return to Qingzhou to preside over the attack on Cao Cao, let us speed up the process of the war, send cavalry to assault Yufuluo, intercept his baggage and family, and let him speed up the march, what do you think? ”

Zhang He nodded: "It's exactly what I want, blow the military trumpet, and order the cuirassiers to charge first, and the rangers will be strangled later." Remember: never forgive! ”

The trumpets sounded, and a burst of orders sounded behind Yongsan Mountain, and immediately, the sound of horses' hooves roared, and two legions rushed out and charged the army at the foot of the mountain in Fuluo.
