Chapter 444: The Night Flows
Jizhou Yecheng to the south to Yanjin Road, ushered in the night of the sky covered by stars and moons.
Under the Milky Way, is unimaginably large army, banner hunting, war horses neighing, meandering to the south to present a solemn atmosphere, since the beginning of the summer after a heavy rain, the temperature gradually turned hot, the situation on both sides of the Yellow River has also risen to the point of fierceness, half a month ago Yuan Shao received the news that Cao Cao pulled out the camp to Yanjin, Liyang's Zhang He also sent troops to rescue the past, since the other party has moved, the main force of 200,000 gathered and reorganized is also in the past two days to the south to crush the past.
A great war was taking shape in the north of the Yellow River, and it was changing dramatically.
200,000 people have been pulled, the formation of the team from the beginning can not see the end, for a time stepping on the earth stirred up the dust, the position of the Chinese army, a carriage swaying with the team, the guards around is wearing iron armor, a tall and burly strongman, dressed in cloth clothes, carrying a halberd, behind several carts loaded with heavy iron armor, a little farther direction, a figure riding a war horse running back and forth, patrolling by.
There was a dim light in the carriage, Yuan Shao had not yet fallen asleep, sitting on the soft floor and looking at the classics in his hand, occasionally there was an order for intelligence or inquiry, he put down the bamboo slip to make instructions, and then the sound of horses' hooves stayed away again.
Yuan Shao put down the pen and ink, picked up the bamboo slip again, with the shaking flames, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and then closed his eyes, and his mind couldn't help but think of Luoyang, he, the highway, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao...... Some of the past, robbing relatives, heroics, or doing some frolicking things that make people gnash their teeth, that time was really good, but now everywhere, Zhang Miao is also dead, Yuan Shu killed himself not long ago, Cao Cao killed him from the opposite side, and the bones were mountains and rivers of blood.
If only there was no chaos in this world, it would be great.
But this world is collapsing, as the fourth and third dukes, he Yuan Shao can't do nothing, not to mention that this is the troubled times that the heroes are eager for, as for the people of the world, he doesn't care so much, after the unification of mountains and rivers, the domestic peace is the greatest gift to them. Yuan Shao, who has always been steady, only cares a little in his heart...... Why did Cao Cao have to go against himself.
200,000 troops pressed over, can tens of thousands of people afford to carry it?
Cao Cao couldn't bear it after all, but he was dying and struggling, just like his temperament...... Yuan Shao looked at the light and thought for a moment, and sighed with some pity.: Idiot.
"I thought I could join forces with Gongsun Zhi's emaciated wolf...... Hold me ...... back"
The carriage undulated over the uneven road, and the horse's hooves in the distance hurried towards this side, and a guard went up to stop him, and after the other party talked to him in a low voice, he was allowed to approach the carriage, Guo Tu whispered to the curtain of the carriage: "My lord..... news came from the north." ”
"Changping? Or Guangyang? Behind the curtain, the voice asked.
"Last month, the cavalry under the command of Gongsun Zhi suddenly killed from Juyong Pass, a total of less than 10,000 horsemen, and directly defeated Zhang Nan's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in half an hour, and then went straight to Guangyang, Jiang Yiqu did not stop, and he was also cut off by Lu Bu's head....."
The curtain was lifted, revealing Yuan Shao's somewhat stunned face: "Give me the information!" ”
Guo Tu was a little speechless and stopped, but after all, he still handed the plain silk in his hand, Yuan Shao looked at the news that was passed back all the way from above, and summarized again, his face turned from white to blue, the green tendons on his forehead were beating and bulging, and he squeezed out a dry sentence between his clenched teeth: "Waste!" ”
Originally, a total of 100,000 county soldiers were allocated to Wen Chou and Han Meng, although the combat effectiveness was not as good as that of Gongsun Zhi's elite in a hundred battles, but such a large number, even if it was tens of thousands of dogs, it would not be defeated like this, judging from the intelligence, it was Wen Chou who came from Yi County a few days ago, and the two cavalry together were less than 10,000 people, and the supply was difficult, so they actually killed all the way into Jizhou.
As long as Wen Chou and Han Meng fight steadily, they should be able to force these brain-hot cavalry back, otherwise Lu Bu and Zhao Yun can still rush into the arms of Wen Chou and Han Meng like fools?
In any case, the other party is advancing too fast, but the speed of the military intelligence is much slower, and the ugly reaction of the intelligence above has also made a great response - sparing no effort to stop the other party in Jumashui.
"Pass the order to Wen Chou, and ask him to drag Gongsun Zhi's cavalry no matter what, and not let him come." The wind blew through the fields, the curtains of the cars moved, and the night looked desolate. After Yuan Shao's short period of consternation, he said again: "Gongsun Zhi is so fast, I have expected it, but after all, he has few soldiers, and it is difficult to do anything, now first solve Cao Cao, who wants to sneak attack Yanjin, and then turn his head to clean up the wolf." ”
After all, now that troops have been dispatched to the north bank of the Yellow River, it is not possible to let the front army retreat again and turn around to fight the war in the north, right? As the third party of the Northern War, Gongsun Zhi pacified Liaodong Xianbei and Wuhuan to clear the rear, and then officially dispatched troops this year, at the end of the spring at this moment, the Youzhou defense was stunned with a sudden blow, and the tactics were formulated at the beginning, the wind and thunder attacked quickly, the invasion was like fire, and the thunder continued to break through many obstacles!
Countless churning horses' hooves tossed, stepping across the earth, the huge white wolf Daxu ran through the field east of Guangyang in the bright sunshine, a team of cavalry carrying double bows and scimitars at their waists went south, the sunset was about to fall, the southbound army temporarily camped for rest in the fifty miles near Zhuo County, the whole noisy land was quiet again, and the news from afar was sent back to the army by the single horse scouts and handed over to the big tent.
In the camp tent, the tall and strong Gongsun Zhi sat on a simple stool, looking at the information in his hand, and the people sitting below were Gao Sheng, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Tian Yu, Li Ru and others, quietly waiting for something, and then, the figure in front of them passed the information to them, and said with a smile: "After we left, Changping has been down, and Zhang Nan has been captured and surrendered." ”
At this time, there were only so many generals present, most of them were scattered in various armies, and they bulldozed Liaodong last year, but now they don't care about a mere city.
"Zi Yu has grown a lot in the past few years, not to mention that there are Wu Anguo, Zou Dan and other generals to assist from the side, if you can't beat a Changping, it will be really embarrassing." Gongsun Zhi said half-jokingly, and then took back the plain silk they had finished reading and handed it over to Li Ke for safekeeping.
Below, Dian Wei and the others also laughed.
However, Tian Yu on the other side had a serious face and frowned: "Lord, although Changping has won and stabilized the rear of our army, General Zhao and Wen Hou in front are also like a bamboo, will there be some lonely soldiers, I heard that Wen Chou's martial arts are good, and the leading soldiers have also made achievements, and they must be elite in their hands, if they are against each other, it will be difficult for Wen Hou and them to win." ”
Some are in favor and some are against.
