Chapter 892: Flying Lion Army

"I treat each other sincerely, as if I was a humerus, how can I have doubts about me, could it be that you only aim to be the general of an army and defend one side, and you don't want to lead the three armies as the commander, conquer the world, defend the Quartet, and become a masterpiece who can be compared with many famous marshals in history!?"

I only listened to the sonorous and powerful shouts of the horse, and every sentence was like a sharp arrow piercing the heart of the open jaw.

Zhang Jaw's complexion changed sharply, and the tiger's body shook continuously, which was too great for him, and he was speechless for a while.

Just listen to how high Ma Zongheng's expectations are for him, how hot his intentions are for him, and how sincere his trust is for him!!

At this time, Zhang Jaw really couldn't suppress his feelings, and suddenly there was a thought that even if Ma Zongheng was hypocritical, just by virtue of his words, he was willing to break his bones, and he knelt down on the ground suddenly, his eyes were extremely hot, and he was filled with a strong fighting spirit again, shaking his spirit, and shouted: "The last general is willing to serve his life, and aspire to the great virtue of the lord Hong'en, if there is a violation, may the five thunders hit the top, and there is no place to bury him!" ”

People are mutual, for Ma Zongheng's love and trust, Zhang Jaw really couldn't think of what to use in return for a while, so he could only make an oath to make this ambition clear.

Now, Zhang Jaw is really conquered by Ma Zongheng!

It is said that Ma Zongheng was able to conquer such a hero as Zhang Jaw so quickly, I have to say that in addition to Cheng Yu's clever plan, it is also related to the knowledge he has from later generations.

Of course, Zhang Jaw didn't know that he was also conquered by Ma Zongheng's boldness!

At present, Ma Zongheng listened to Zhang Jaw and did not hesitate to make an oath of allegiance, but he did not expect that his bold decision could win Zhang Jaw's loyalty, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Zhang Jaw up, and immediately named Zhang Jaw as the Flying Lion General, and reorganized the old Yuan family, established a large army, and gave it the name 'Flying Lion Army'!

Zhang Jaw was overjoyed when he heard this, and even cried with gratitude, and wanted to thank him again. Ma Zongheng quickly helped him, but said with a smile: "I don't know if you want to stay in Jizhou, or go back to Yanzhou with me?" ”

When he heard this, his face changed at first, and he was smart by nature, but now he also knew how to avoid suspicion, and he hurriedly responded: "Yanzhou is close to the Central Plains, and it can be regarded as being in the hinterland of the world, and the current situation is not good, Yanzhou is in need of a large number of soldiers and horses to deter the princes from all over the world." And if a large number of Yuan's old departments stay in Jizhou, it is not a good thing. The last general is willing to return with the lord. ”

I have to say that Zhang Jaw is really smart, he saw that Ma Zongheng had already left Huang and Cheng to guard Jizhou, so he knew that Jizhou did not need him to guard, and as he said, there were various factors, and Zhang Jaw also saw that in fact, Ma Zongheng had the intention to let him go back to Yanzhou with him, but it was not easy to speak, so as not to make him suspicious. Of course, Zhang Jaw also reciprocated, explained the reason, and found various reasons for himself to go to Yanzhou.

Ma Zongheng listened, secretly happy, thinking that it was really effortless to talk to a smart person, but he wanted to open his jaw and filial piety, so he couldn't help but hesitate: "But if you are not in Yecheng, who will take care of the two old people?" ”

"My father and mother are also old, and it is inconvenient to travel long distances, so I thought it would be better to wait for the situation in Yanzhou to stabilize, and then take the two elders to gather together."

"Well, what you think is also reasonable!" Ma Zongheng shook his head a little, looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them put their hearts in their hearts, quite sincere.

So, the next day, Ma Zongheng decided to leave first, and ordered Zhang Jaw to reorganize the army first, and then go later. Open Jaw agreed. After Ma Zongheng and Huang and Cheng gave orders, they led their troops back to Puyang in triumph.

But he said that two days later, Ma Zongheng passed through Guangchuan, remembered Guo Jia, lamented, and stayed alone in the city for a day. Ma Zongheng had to leave, but it was dusk, which made people feel melancholy, abruptly Ma Zongheng suddenly heard someone laughing behind him, and couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, anxious to look back, in the twilight sun, in the slanting sun, vaguely seemed to see Guo Jia's figure, still so chic and fang, with a bright smile, although it was unruly, but peerless!

"You bastard, let you be lazy first, and when I complete your ambition, I will go there to find you, and you and I will drink and talk about the world's major affairs."

Ma Zongheng muttered, a gust of wind blew, blowing his robe hunting, but Guo Jia's figure strangely drifted away with the wind and flew into the sky.

A few days later, Ma Zongheng led his troops to the border of Yanzhou, and the news of his triumphant return came back. In Puyang City, it is already a festive atmosphere, a group of civil and military people have not seen Ma Zongheng and do not dare to celebrate, but the people have celebrated, all the restaurants are stuffed, all the streets are full of joy, when talking about Ma Xi, they can't help but be proud, shouting long live.

Up and down the Ma family, Mrs. Wang Yiyi and his wife even cried with joy. And Wang Ying, who was wounded by an arrow, heard that Ma Zongheng had finally returned, and she was overjoyed, and her condition also improved. This made Ma Yi, who had been taking care of him for many days, finally secretly relieved, and his little face, which had been frowning, was finally willing to show a smile.

However, it is said that in the past year, there have been many wars, and the princes from all over the country have raised troops to fight, just during the period when Ma Zongheng defeated Yuan Shao and took Jizhou. Today's imperial court Situ Cao Cao also broke Yuan Shu. It is said that after Cao's army invaded Huainan, its morale was like a rainbow and it won many battles. And Yuan Shu decided to fight to the death with Cao Cao in Shouchun, so he mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses. Seeing this, Cao Cao was not afraid of rejuvenation, but took the opportunity to lead his troops to pursue the victory, all the way to the outside of Shouchun City.

By the time Cao's army arrived, nearly 50,000 troops had gathered in Shouchun City, which was almost all the troops under Yuan Shu's command.

At that time, the situation was tense, but Yuan Shu was not an ordinary person, and it was expected that Cao's army was marching quickly and running long distances, and he must be tired, so he made a quick decision, and led his troops to attack on the night when Cao's army first arrived. I don't know Yuan Shu's intentions, Xun You has long been recognized, Xun You offered Cao Cao, set up a false tent, lured Yuan Shu's army to come, and then ambushed him.

But at that time, Cao Cao hesitated that the army was tired, and Yuan Shu would lead his troops to fight to the death. At this time, it was Jia Xu who hit the nail on the head, and it was expected that Yuan Shu would not have the courage to do so, and if the army retreated in a hurry and the other army rushed to pounce, it would fall short, and the previous achievements would be abandoned.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was also a heroic man with bold ambitions, so he immediately agreed, and encouraged the generals to greatly shock the morale of the three armies.

On the third watch of the night, Yuan Shu was really unexpected, and when he led the generals to the camp of the Cao army, he only saw the camp tent and did not see the Cao army. Yuan Shu knew the plan and was anxious to withdraw, but he didn't know that there was a lot of killing everywhere, and the Cao army of all departments rushed to kill, and the ambush soldiers were exhausted.

Yuan Shu was so frightened that he hurriedly fled for his life. His general Ji Ling persuaded that the Cao army was tired, but if he could stabilize his position and fight with him, he might be able to turn defeat into victory. But Yuan Shu hesitated again and again at that time, and failed to make a decisive decision. It was in this way that the Cao army was killed one after another, which made the Yuan army's formation chaotic, and all the generals lost their square inches. Seeing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed, excited, and personally led his troops to pounce, and there were two generals Dian and Xu to cover the left and right, so he rushed all the way and was invincible. When all the Cao generals saw it, they all worked hard, woke up their spirits, and rushed to kill. Yuan Shu then collapsed as quickly as a landslide, Yuan Shu saw that the situation was not good, and it was difficult to have the strength to turn around, so he fled with the generals first. Ji Ling had no choice but to lead the deployment to the death, after encountering Cao Cao's killing of soldiers and horses, and seeing the classics, Xu was fierce and invincible, Ji Ling knew that since this battle, the army was afraid that it would lose the initiative, and the situation would be difficult to move an inch in the future, so he was disheartened, so he also led the generals to flee for their lives. So, Cao Cao led troops to cover up the killing, and the two generals Dian and Xu killed hundreds of people in total, including dozens of soldiers. And Xiahou Dun, Yu Ban and other generals also had their own gains, which can be described as a great defeat of the Yuan army, killing nearly five or six thousand Yuan soldiers, capturing tens of thousands of prisoners, and obtaining countless weapons and good horses.

And just as Ji Ling expected, after the defeat in this battle, Yuan Shujun collapsed. Yuan Shu couldn't bear it, and he was about to be destroyed, drinking and making trouble all day long, uninterested in military affairs, half upside down and half crazy. Yuan Yi, Ji Ling and other civil and military forces, it is useless to persuade more. Some people are even more different.

Later, Cao Jun was able to rest for five or six days, and at that time, Yuan Shu finally woke up to the current situation under the persuasion of Yuan Yi, and Yuan Shu, who was unwilling to fail, reorganized his army and wanted to fight Cao Cao again.

Unbeknownst to everyone, at that time, Cao Jun had already accumulated and recuperated, and Yuan Shu had missed the best opportunity for a decisive battle with Cao Jun.

So just outside Shouchun City, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, two former friends, put up their own positions and led the army to fight. Yuan Shu took the initiative to fight, but he wanted to use a hearty victory to stimulate the low morale and inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the army and the Cao army, so Yuan Shu almost gambled on it.

However, Cao Cao also wanted to crush the fighting spirit of Yuan Shu's army, so as to help the army break through Shouchun in one fell swoop in the near future and achieve the final victory of this Huainan Campaign!

Both of them can't afford to lose, and they can't lose!

Therefore, in the ensuing fierce battles, Cao Jun and Yuan Jun went all out, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shu repeatedly went to the front to supervise the battle and inspire. At that time, excluding the wounded soldiers and the guards guarding the camp, Cao's army had about 20,000 troops. The strength of Yuan's army was 30,000. The difference in strength between the two armies is only 10,000, but Cao's morale is better and the sharp edge is stronger, so it can be said that the advantages of the two armies are stalemate.

At this time, the mightiness and strategy of the generals and strategists of the two armies became the most critical factor in the victory or defeat.

The Cao army has never lacked fierce generals, and on the first day, Xiahoudun relied on his fierce courage to charge into battle, and almost broke through the defense line of the Yuan army. The next day, the Yuan army counterattacked, Yu Ban was waiting to attack, and when he saw the Yuan army pounce, Yu Ban gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired together, which caused the Yuan army to be in chaos in an instant, with countless casualties. Yu Ban then led his troops to counterattack and won another victory.

Although Yuan Shu was determined to fight to the death with Cao Cao, he was defeated repeatedly, and all the armies mourned. Just when Yuan Shu was worried about Zhongzhong, his military advisor Yuan Yu saw a glimmer of hope, thinking that he could not back down now, and he could mourn the momentum of the army and make a desperate bet as the last resort to turn defeat into victory. Yuan Shu thought that his hard work over the years would be ruined, and he was defeated by Cao Apu, who he looked down on very much. The depth of Yuan Shu's resentment at that time was unimaginable to ordinary people.

So, Yuan Shu summoned the generals and bluntly said that Shouchun was about to die, and he was willing to die with him, describing his will to die, and also distributed a large amount of money to the generals, taught the generals to take it, and left each way. Seeing this, the generals were all grateful for Yuan Shu's affection, and they were angry and wanted to fight, and they were very sad. Seeing this, a few generals who secretly harbored ghosts did not dare to make a noise for fear of being attacked by everyone. So, Yuan Shu took out half of his family wealth that night and distributed it to the soldiers. The soldiers of all departments were suspicious, and later heard that the soldiers said that Yuan Shu wanted to live and die together with Shouchun and scatter all the money, which was an early expectation, but if Shouchun was broken, everyone would flee, so it was the first strike, and the right should be the severance pay for everyone. When everyone heard this, they were also saddened and overwhelmed, and they were determined to fight to the death with Cao Jun.

That night, Cao Cao was in the tent, and suddenly heard that the people in Shouchun City were boiling, and the Yuan army was shouting in unison, wanting to fight to the death.

The war is here for the time being, but at this time in the lobby of the Situ Mansion in Luoyang, Cao Cao is listening to Liu Ye in the hall is reporting, and his subordinates and martial artists are sitting in two seats, and their expressions have changed. When he heard that Ma Zongheng had subdued Yuan Shao's old department, and when he opened his jaw, one of the four great court pillars in the past, he was even more shocked, and immediately shouted out in a gossipy.

"Since Wen and Yan died, the high-ranking cadres were embarrassed and useful, and this Zhang Junyi became the most prestigious general of the Yuan family. Now he is taking refuge under the command of Na Ma Xi, it is said that Na Ma Xi is even more ridiculous, and he actually allocated 30,000 or 40,000 old Yuan troops to Zhang Junyi for reorganization, but if this Zhang Junyi really surrendered sincerely and formed a large army for Ma's family, it would really be a hundred disadvantages and no benefit to my Cao family!! ”
