Chapter 189: Liu Yuan's Response
"What's going on with this Helan Dangfu!" Liu Yuan lost his temper in the Jinyang Mansion: "The five thousand white horses under the command of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou have already entered Yanmen Pingcheng from Daijun!" He's just playing Sweat Mountain, and he hasn't moved yet? Dare to disobey the order of the Lone King? ”
The alliance army of the princes has been marching north into Qi County for several days, stationed there, no longer moving, Liu Yuan has hidden worries, the army is stationed on the front line of Jinyang, and does not rush south. Assigned Kebineng and Liu Qiu to lead the front army to the front line of Yangyi and Jicheng to be closely monitored.
Although they sent troops south to invade, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and others gathered all the cavalry troops under their command to deal with it, and the two sides fought around Qi County.
The southern line was temporarily eased, but the northern line had a problem, Wan Qianjin was ordered to invade Yanmen, and Liu Yuan sent Dugu Sheng and Da Xiling to lead the upper and middle two infantry troops composed of descendants, and marched north along the Hutuo River. Yanmen is too guarded by Cui Jun to be surrounded by the forces of the Xia State, and if he dares to join the coalition army, he must be prepared to be attacked by Liu Yuan.
Surrendering the new army, after all, the army's heart is unstable, and he has given up on himself to defend the city, and when he goes out to fight, Liu Yuan has a big question mark in his heart. didn't have any big expectations, and sure enough, on the front line of Gouzhu Mountain, Cui Jun only sent 3,000 people to firmly block the two armies of Dugusheng.
Liu Yuan valued Wan Qian's movements, and the 4,000 elite cavalry crossed the Great Wall and went straight to Mayi through Wuzhou to the south. was stopped by Cui Jun's own county soldiers. Cui Lie was sent to the front line, and the father and son talked to each other in front of the battle, and Cui Lie was embarrassed. But Cui Jun was not polite, and made a strong accusation, wanting to do the thing of "righteous annihilation". While Cui Lie blew his beard and stared, he was even more ashamed and angry, scolding the rebel.
The fierce battle of Yanmen has not started, but Gongsun Zhan's side has already entered Pingcheng, Wan Qijin did not dare to underestimate, not only to deal with the Yanmen army, but also to guard against the white horse Yi, did not dare to move, had to report the military situation.
"The king is angry! Danhan Mountain is far away, the road traffic is blocked, the news transmission is inconvenient, Helan Dudu's side, there may have been action, but it has not yet come! Su Li, as Helan Dangfu's old subordinate, spoke for it.
glanced at Su Li, put down the military newspaper in his hand, thought for a while, and then ordered Long Wei: "Directly send the flying eagle to Helan Dangfu, and give the lone army to the south, attack Dai County, and deal with Gongsun Zhan." If there is a bad pool, he, the governor of Modong, will not do it! ”
"No!"
"The Han army in Qi County, hasn't there been any action yet?"
"Back to the king, no!"
Liu Yuan sighed, what are the princes thinking!
"King! We have 20,000 soldiers, why are you so jealous of the Han army, according to the general's proposal, directly lead the army south, enter Qi County, and force him to fight. Sitting in this Jinyang, sighing, what's the point? The bald jewel below said wildly.
"Huh?" Liu Yuan looked at Bald Guilai and waved his hand: "Rong Gu is good to think about." Wait for you to retreat first, train the soldiers well, and don't relax! ”
"No!"
He was not afraid of the Han army, but of their commander. However, it is not unreasonable for Bald Gui to say that he should lead the troops south to see what Yuan Shao and the others have in mind.
Liu Yuan hesitated.
……
"My lord! Generals, I never thought that this Liu Yuan would be so stable, our army is here, he is nesting in Jinyang, and he doesn't make any moves! In the hall of Qi County, Xu You got up and sighed.
"Looks like our army has to move! If it has been like this, I am afraid that Liu Yuan has doubts in his heart! Cao Cao said lightly: "The Xia army is heavily armed in Jinyang, and Zhang Yan doesn't dare to move lightly!" ”
"Good!" Yuan Shao will speak decisively: "Order the three armies, tomorrow the army will leave Qi County and approach Jicheng." Let's give this opportunity to see if he Liu Yuan can still stabilize! ”
"Obey!"
As soon as the coalition army moved, Liu Yuan got the news. Since the enemy army is out of the turtle shell, Liu Yuan will naturally not let go of the "good opportunity", no matter what the Han army has in mind, he will also go south to see.
Yuan Shao's side moved, and Kebineng, who was in Jicheng, Yangyi, heard the news and moved, and without hesitation, he led people south to "greet", the old-fashioned sneak attack and incursion. However, this time the coalition army was obviously different from the usual, and it only marched north for 30 miles every day, walking for a while, resting for a while, and being disturbed by the Xia army, so it was simply stationed and stopped.
Let Kebi be a little confused with Liu Qiu. The cavalry of the Han army was also different from the past, no longer concentrated with the brigade of men and horses, liberated alone, cruising on the side. Kebineng and Liu Qiu's military strength was also insufficient, and they did not dare to invade the Han camp as unscrupulously as before.
When Liu Yuan quickly led most of the Xia cavalry to Jicheng, the Han army heard the news and decisively led the army to retreat ahead of schedule, without any nostalgia.
"The Han army has retreated back to Qi County?" After listening to Kebineng's report to Liu Qiu, Liu Yuan couldn't help but beat his forehead.
"Brother Wang, something is wrong! This time, the Han army's behavior is abnormal, and it seems to have a plan! Liu Qiu looked at the pensive Liu Yuan and couldn't help but remind.
"Lone knows!" At this time, Liu Yuan also knew that the Han army must have a plan.
After meditating hard, he couldn't taste it, and all the generals in the tent looked at him. Seeing this, Liu Yuan suddenly smiled: "When did I, Liu Yuan, become so hesitant!" Command the army, tomorrow our army will continue to march south and march into Qi County, since they are all here, I want to see this Han army alliance! ”
Liu Yuan led the army south from Jicheng, but in half a day, he arrived in Qi County and approached the coalition camp. The familiar Han army barracks are strict and solid, several camps are closely connected, interlocking, and the defense force can be seen at a glance how strong it is. There are a few more banners in the camp, "Cao", "Sun", "Wang", and "Zhang", and it seems that the forces of several parties have arrived.
And Qi County, suffered from military disasters, after several changes of hands, has been dilapidated, the original rich county, looking at the city, is depressed.
Twenty miles away, Liu Yuan led the front army and the beggar army to approach the coalition camp, wanting to see it. Slowly approaching, a mile away, looking at each other from afar. When the princes of the coalition heard that the Xia army was coming, they also climbed the tower to inspect it.
The sunset had already set, and it hung above Liu Yuan's right side, squinting slightly, looking at the city, and it should be Yuan Shao's gang who were looking out.
A sly look flashed in his eyes, Liu Yuan pulled his throat and said in a loud voice: "The city is Yuan Benchu, do you remember your wife Liu?" Wait for Yuan Shao's reaction.
Although it was far away, Liu Yuan's voice was almost inaudible to the city, and the others did not know why, but Yuan Shao still vaguely heard words such as "wife" and "Liu's", which were very sensitive to him.
The look of shame and anger flashed on his face, and then he forcibly suppressed it, but there was a chill in his eyes, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth: "Sit back and see what Liu Yuan does!" ”
"Bald Gui come, you lead the begging infantry army and try to attack that Han village!" Liu Yuan pointed to the Han camp with the word "Wang" and ordered.
Bald Guilai was ordered to go, a distance of several hundred steps, and soon led the beggar army to press on Wang Kuang's camp, leaning on the barrier, Wang Kuang's subordinates tried their best to resist, but his army was weak, and it looked very tight.
"Yuan Gong, in the lower camp, there is a shortage of major generals, please support!" Wang Kuang was anxious.
"I'll go!" Yuan Shao was about to give an order, but Sun Jian directly sighed: "I want to see why this Hun is so rampant!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, Yuan Shao could only swallow the words in his throat, but there was dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Originally, Sun Wentai had no problem dealing with the three thousand Xia army foot soldiers, but those thousands of iron horsemen were eyeing the ground, and they had to be guarded against!" Cao Cao whispered beside him.
"Order Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and order the two to gather all the coalition cavalry for battle!" Yuan Shao gave an order when he heard this.
"No!"
"Order Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, order the two of them to organize the army, in case of contingencies!" Cao Cao also gave a soft order to a guard beside him.
