Chapter 284: Spring Thunder (2)
Boom –
The thunder swept through the clouds, the warm spring day gradually disappeared, the wind blew, the military camp outside Xuchang City, the sound of footsteps, the sound of horses' hooves walking, a team of patrolling figures holding Bingge, around the camp in the center of the tent, there was still a cold in March, there were two braziers burning in the tent, the flames swayed and distorted the air.
"From today onwards, there will be a war......"
The low words began, the generals knelt on both sides of the big tent, looking at the white tiger descending the mountain screen in front of them with a serious face, the figure sitting on the big chair, wearing black armor, wearing a velvet collar and a white cloak of Shu brocade, a pair of black sewn armor boots opened with big thorns, both hands clenched into fists pressed on the armrests, and Gongsun Zhi's gaze swept indifferently over the people in the tent.
“…… As long as Lu Bu is not a fool, he will definitely know that Chen Gong under his command is quite powerful, and he will definitely take precautions, if necessary, they will unite with Yuan Shu in Huainan to form a confrontation with us, and this situation will not be easy to break. ”
His eyes were cold, and his words were straightforward to tear apart the evils of war.
"We have been entangled with Lu Bu for so long, it should be time to make a decision, as for Yuan Shu, it is just a rabbit scurrying among the grass, since last year to March this year, we have rested for too long, Zhao Yun of Liaodong estimates that at this time, countless Xianbei and Wuhuan heads have been cut off on the way back to Shanggu County, and now it is our turn to pull the blade out of the sheath."
……
Outside the Xuchang Mansion, the war horses hurriedly came and left, countless figures came and went, people with news and intelligence rushed inside, handed over to Shangguan, and the affairs of the three armies gathered in a variety of ways, and the footsteps passed outside a closed door from time to time.
In the room, Cao Cao knelt and groaned, discussing some details of the dispatch with Guo Jia and Xun You on both sides.
"Li Suming knew that he would not give Lu Bu the official position of assassinating Xuzhou, and he also came to Xudu to give gifts everywhere, just to delay the time for the lord to pull out the camp, so that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu could join forces together, and then the two armies would face each other, and once the battle could not be fought for a long time, it would be useless to return, and Lu Bu's tiger would also get a chance to breathe."
With thin and pale fingers brushing the two small ears of the wine buds, Guo Jia said slowly: "You can't form a stalemate, you can only quickly break through one of them." ”
Next to him, Xun You nodded in agreement with his words, and did not add.
"If you want to lay the conditions for victory, you must have the ability to run fast and long, this is one of them!"
Then, Guo Jia coughed and raised his second finger: "A general who is good at commanding cavalry and has cavalry experience, the key is to be able to quickly break Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, this is the second." ”
"After breaking Yuan Shu's way, he can quickly return to the battlefield in Xuzhou and contain Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry, and in this battle, the role of the lord is to create the illusion that there is no division of troops to confuse Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and it is necessary to draw a large number of horses to act as war horses and disguise cavalry with infantry."
He bent down his third finger, "Only by meeting these three conditions, even if Chen Gongtai exhausts his organs, he will not be able to return to the sky, and the defeat of Xuzhou is just around the corner." ”
"Hmm."
Cao Cao nodded in a deep voice, got up and walked a few steps: "However, Yuan Shu sent troops this time, not to mention fifty or sixty thousand people, and Gongsun did not have more than 10,000 horsemen, half of them were still bow horses, and it was a little difficult to quickly break through Yuan's highway." ”
"It's better than this!" He stood still, raised his hand and waved his wide sleeves: "Secondment Cao Chun and the tiger and leopard cavalry to him, plus the two thousand ordinary light horses in his hand." ”
Guo Jia smiled lightly, coughed a few times, and then gave up his hand: "With Cao Chun and General Xiahou joining in this way, Yuan Shu's road will definitely not take long." By the way, then Li Su is going to the governor's camp today. ”
"Go, go, go and find death."
After the discussion was decided, Cao Cao didn't care about the life or death of the man, and waved his hand: "Then pass the order down and let the baggage start on the road." ”
……
“.…… The first knife out of the sheath, who will be killed? I intend to cut off the hand that Yuan Shu stretched out first, as for Li Su, who has been jumping up and down in Xuchang City for the past few days, it is nothing more than delaying us, once the two sides are closed, it will be a protracted war, and it is not a good thing for us......"
Outside the tent, the voice of the soldier came in: "Governor Qiyu, there is Li Su, who claims to be the envoy of Xuzhou, outside, and he wants to see you." ”
"Let him wait on the school grounds."
"Yes!"
The footsteps left, Gongsun Zhi walked out of the long case, stood in front of everyone for a moment, and swept his gaze, "Playing a Yuan Shu is not what I want." Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in martial arts, and the wolf riders under his command are the elite of the world, and they are the goals of my Gongsun Zhi and you. So...... It is time for the princes of the Central Plains and even other walks of life to see the wolves from the north...... How to shred his enemies! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, hunting season has arrived."
Approaching, a group of generals suddenly stood up and gave up their orders.
"Yes—"
The Great Tent was shaken.
*********************
Li Su got out of the carriage and asked the few people he brought to bring the valuable gifts down to the barracks, and after receiving the reply from the soldiers, he followed the other party to the huge school yard of this military village, where the flag with the word Gongsun fluttered on the highest flagpole, and there was a flag painted with a white giant wolf pattern next to it, hunting in the wind.
The bright spring days of March faded and the sky was gloomy.
He had a bad premonition, as if something was going to happen, and after a while, there was a slight tremor under his feet, and the soldiers who had led him before turned around abruptly, raised their swords and struck them on the head, and before they could let out a miserable cry, they were dragged away like dead dogs.
Then, with a bang, he threw himself on a high platform, his vision shook, and he heard the wind whining through here, and the flag fluttered in the wind, and in the slanted line of sight, the gloomy clouds were rolling, and a pair of black-striped armor-covered boots approached.
"You listen ......"
Boom –
In the rolling clouds, thunder exploded, and the first rain of spring seemed to be about to fall.
……
In the north, the team that gathered the flag returned from Liaodong and went south to Youzhou, after Zhao Yun stood on the hillside and watched the mountains, the scribe who took off his armor beside him unfolded a roll of sheepskin map, pointed his finger at a certain place above, raised it and pointed the direction to the general, and soon, the spring rain fell.
Shanggu County, a middle-aged Confucian who had always been known as Li Wen to the outside world, was escorted by a team of cavalry, braving the rain towards Yanmen County, his fingers stroking his long beard, and there were two people waiting for him to deal with it......
……
Boom!
Boom –
The first drum beat sounded along with the thunder, the huge camp, the countless tents lifted the curtains, the armored soldiers, mounted the war horses, and the captain with the broadsword on his back, sucked in the humid air fiercely, and then spit it out, and the voice was raised.
"Collection—"
Knock knock knock...... The drums began to beat intensively, and the figures on horseback picked up their weapons, their eyes were firm and hot, and they formed a formation, one team after another went to the huge school field, and the vision rose to the sky, and countless cavalry gathered like streams to this side, forming a huge phalanx.
Li Su, who was lying on the stage, was not stupid, the moment he heard the drums, he understood what he had a premonition of something wrong, raised his head and looked along the pair of boots, it was a tall and black armor Gongsun Zhi, his lips trembled and closed, and he spoke in a low voice.
"Xuzhou envoy, Li Su has seen the governor."
The respectful words came, and Gongsun Zhi, who was standing, finally made a little movement, his indifferent eyes turned slightly, and he turned his face sideways: "I know you, but don't speak, just watch there." ”
Li Su staggered up from the ground, his vision crossed Gongsun Zhi, and spread out to the front, under the high platform, thousands of cavalry sat quietly on horseback, the first drop of spring rain fell on his face, and the slight coolness made his whole person tremble slightly, and his scalp was numb.
"It's over......" he murmured.
……
In Shangdang County, the spring rain washed the tender green leaves, and a team from Yecheng crossed the mountains and walked into the city under the eyes of countless pairs of fierce eyes, and saw a general named Yu Poison and handed over a letter.
Jiangdong, Sun Ce rode a horse and carried a gun to integrate the team, he looked up at the city tower, a slender and straight figure silhouette stood behind the battlement, ten fingers plucking vocal music, it was for the feint attack on the army in Yangzhou.
…… Countless things that happen today, or what have not happened, have become the indispensable trajectory of the daily operation of the world, which is the world of thousands of lives......
……
Li Su's thoughts were broken.
"Governor...... I'm just an envoy to Xudu on behalf of Xuzhou, and I came with good intentions, you can't ...... like this" Li Su, who had lost his coolness, stumbled over, was beaten to his knees by the outstretched mace, and the crown and hat that tied his hair fell to the ground, and the wind blew over, blowing the scattered hair.
On the stage, Gongsun Zhi slowly pulled out the scimitar on his waist, and the cold blade revealed the cold little by little.
"I don't need any kindness from you, listen! The sound of war is already ringing, and it will not stop for a little intrigue, and you ...... You will never see a future victory or defeat. ”
The arm was raised, the scimitar slashed an arc, the blade roared slightly in the air, the tall and straight body turned violently, the indifferent eyes became fierce, the frightened and paralyzed Li Su struggled to escape, the next second, the scimitar fell, poof, blood arrows soared, and the head with a frightened expression fell on the stage and rolled.
The palm of his hand grabbed the head on the ground, like a bloodthirsty demon god, raised in the air, facing the tens of thousands of dense figures in front of him, and the words roared in the wind: "Wolves-"
With a hard flick of the arm, the bloody head was thrown high into the sky.
"—Expedition!" He licked the blood from his fingers, and the thick words gave the order.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Thousands of horsemen roared loudly with their weapons, and wolf horsemen brandished their short bows and slapped their short soldiers, clanging wildly. The Black Mountain Rider was hideous, and countless iron guns kept smashing on the ground, and the sound was like thunder exploding over the camp for a long time.
Thunder rumbled through the clouds, and the spring rain fell.
