741. Debate before the battle

It was the beginning of July in 199 C.E.

With the arrival of early summer, the temperature in the heart of the Han Dynasty where Luoyang is located is gradually getting hotter, and on the battlefield of the vast plain on the north bank of the Yellow River, it seems that you can see the colorful air on the earth steaming and fluctuating.

There was a battlefield about three or four miles between the two army camps of Zhu Wei and Yuan Shao, which was enough for the two armies to fight each other in a formation of tens of thousands of people.

It's just that Zhu Wei naturally won't easily send troops to fight hard with Yuan Shaojun, and at the moment, he is still like Pang Yan and Zhuge Liang on the side of the Tiger Prison Pass, guarding the large army camp and preparing to implement the tactics of defensive counterattack.

On this day, Yuan Shaojun finally pulled out tens of thousands of troops from the camp and set up a position on the battlefield on the north bank of the Yellow River, as if he was preparing to launch an attack on Zhu Wei's two military villages on the north bank of the Yellow River, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin.

In fact, Zhu Wei can see through the Three Kingdoms game system that Yuan Shaojun's camp on the north bank of the Yellow River is also built horizontally into a long belt-like shape, so the camp where tens of thousands of Yuan Shaojun are entrenched can also directly face the north bank military villages of Zhu Weijun's two places in Mengjin and Xiaopingjin.

However, Yuan Shaojun still seems to be preparing to attack the military fortress on the north bank of Zhu Weijun on the Mengjin side, after all, the Yellow River bank on the Mengjin side is the narrowest, and it is easiest for Yuan Shaojun to cross the river.

As for the crossing of the Yellow River on the side of Xiaopingjin, there are several alluvial islands in the Yellow River, and Zhu Weijun has also arranged a defensive offensive on the island, which can strengthen the difficulty of Yuan Shaojun's crossing the river and seizing the pass.

Yuan Shaojun had obviously already sent scouts to inspect the defense of Zhu Weijun on the bank of the Yellow River, and after thinking about it in this way, he seemed to feel that it was more in line with Yuan Shaojun's interests to attack Zhu Weijun's village on Mengjin's side head-on.

Of course, this first day of battle was more of a test of the combat effectiveness and morale of the armies of both sides.

Therefore, as Yuan Shao's army set up a position outside the Mengjin Zhu Wei army on the north bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Shaofang inevitably sent an envoy to ask Zhu Wei to speak in front of the battle.

Through the banner played by Zhu Wei's army, Yuan Shao knew that Zhu Wei had also come to Mengjin Pass in person to meet him here, and Yuan Shao was still a little curious about Zhu Wei, a young man who entered the WTO as a white-clothed man in the south and laid such a foundation completely empty-handed.

Soon, Zhu Wei also led a large number of people to cross the plank road above the Yellow River and came to the gate tower of the military camp on the north bank.

In the core area of Yuan Shaojun's main formation, Yuan Shao was wearing a golden helmet and bright iron armor, sitting on a temporary high platform built in a place, with a canopy erected behind him to shade the sun, which made it easy for people to notice him at first glance.

And Zhu Wei is still only wearing a jade crown to tie his hair, wearing a simple robe, completely dressed as a Confucian, and he doesn't even wear clothes and armor on his body.

But because Zhu Wei has the charm bonus given by the jade seal treasure in the Three Kingdoms game system, even if it is just such a simple dress, it can still make people look at it, and they can have a special feeling from the heart, maybe it is a kind of domineering spirit that is gradually cultivated.

In this way, Zhu Wei appeared on the gatehouse of the military camp, and everyone in the military array on Yuan Shao's side could also see Zhu Wei's figure.

It's just that the distance between the two sides is two or three miles, although they can see each other from afar, but they can only vaguely see the general image of each other, in fact, they can't see each other's specific faces clearly (Zhu Wei has crystal binoculars here to see), but it is enough for both sides.

At this time, it is the king to see the king, and it is impossible for both sides to put themselves in danger and be assassinated by the opponent's archers with cold arrows.

Not long after, more than 20 loud military men came out of Yuan Shao's army, holding their waists with their hands, and said loudly for Yuan Shao, "Qian Tanghou, my lord said, when today's chaos has been going on for a long time, and the people are suffering, if Qian Tanghou has the heart to exempt the people from suffering, it is better to disperse the troops as soon as possible, go out of the village and surrender, and the lord of my family can naturally ensure that Qian Tanghou I is rich and worry-free!" ”

Obviously, this is also Yuan Shao's cliché, anyway, it is to persuade him to surrender before the battle, to show his generosity, of course, it also shows that his army is strong, not that Zhu Wei can resist.

Zhu Wei laughed when he heard this, and then let the messengers in the military village respond in unison, "General Yuan, the lord of my family has thanked the general for his kindness, but if the son is killed by Cao Cao's traitors in Xudu today, General Yuan does not go to Xudu to exterminate the traitor Cao Cao, but joins forces with Cao Cao to use troops in Luoyang, is it also for the troubled times!" The lord of my family, Gong Yao, took the position of the captain of the Han Dynasty and repaired Luoyang, the capital of the emperor, for the Son of Heaven, originally intended to welcome the Son of Heaven back to the capital in order to restore the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Now that traitor Cao Cao, lest the matter of holding the Son of Heaven be exposed, he pretended to use the order of the Son of Heaven to let the general send troops to the south, and the general didn't know the truth!"

"The general and the lord of my family are both Han courtiers, such as today's son in Xudu, Cao Cao's hijacking of the Son of Heaven to falsely order the world's disobedience is already obvious to the world, the general is now not with my lord to join forces to kill the traitor Cao Cao, but still use troops to this point, I don't know what the general wants!"

"General Yuan, the lord of my family kindly advises you, don't act wrongly, and look back quickly, otherwise the lord of my family can only ask the general on behalf of the Son of Heaven!"

Zhu Wei naturally also took advantage of the current edict and the death of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to counter Yuan Shao from the name of righteousness, anyway, Zhu Wei completely characterized Cao Cao as a traitor who held the Son of Heaven hostage, if Yuan Shao is still with Cao Cao, it is to admit that he is going to rebel like Cao Cao.

Now Zhu Wei and Yuan Shao shout in front of the battle through these loud heralds, in fact, it also has the meaning of affecting each other's morale.

After all, ordinary soldiers and soldiers also have the ability to think for themselves, and if anyone can gain the upper hand in the big truth now, then they will naturally think that they are right or wrong if they continue to follow their own side.

If such a side loses the upper hand in such a debate, it will naturally affect morale.

Yuan Shao listened to Zhu Wei talking about Cao Cao's hijacking of the Son of Heaven, and he couldn't help but be secretly annoyed that Cao Cao, a pig teammate, was really an idiot, and holding the Son of Heaven hostage would be hijacked, anyway, it was something that everyone knew, but you can't firmly watch Emperor Han Xian die, and let Emperor Han Xian, a puppet, die, then you can't do things.

Now there is something to do with the edict, this is not for nothing to give to Zhu Weikou.

Even if Yuan Shao can vouch for Cao Cao on the surface, showing that Cao Cao did not actually hold the Son of Heaven hostage, everything is a coup d'état by Dong Cheng and these conspirators, but the more this kind of thing is discussed on the surface, the more it will make people think about it.

However, at this moment, Yuan Shao would not let Zhu Wei gain the upper hand in his tongue, so Yuan Shao quickly passed the word through those heralds, "Qian Tanghou is also hearsay!" Could it be that Qian Tanghou also participated in this, and the case of the Son of Heaven's martyrdom is still under careful investigation, among which there is a statement that Qian Tanghou secretly collaborated with Dong Cheng's generation and committed rebellion, and it was also Qian Tanghou who sent someone to assassinate and poison the Son of Heaven and blame Cao Sikong. The lord of my family may not believe in this matter, but Qian Tanghou can't get rid of it! ”

Yuan Shao had the military advisors and strategists around him to help organize the discourse, so he quickly shifted the topic from Cao Cao's holding the Son of Heaven hostage to Zhu Wei's side......
