Chapter Seventy-Three: Hebei Veteran

Looking at Lu Buyang's long back and the re-closed gate of Yecheng, Cao Cao felt a little annoyed in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Bu was so irresponsible to leave a few words that were obviously sowing discord, and then patted his ass and left, leaving him with a mess.

Originally, Cao Cao ignored the previous suspicions and sent troops to rescue, Yuan Shang should be grateful as a matter of course, but when Lu Bu said this, he just hit Yuan Shang's sore spot, Yuan Shao's hero is the world, whether it is really debatable, but another tiger father and dog, the huge Jizhou still needs to rely on Cao Cao's help to defend, with Cao Cao's understanding of Yuan Shang during this time, this little child should not have said it in advance, but the arrogance of the children of the family is better than Yuan Shao, Lu Bu took a block, Yuan Shang is afraid that not only will he not be grateful to himself, Instead, the mustard will become deeper.

"Thank you for your help." When thinking about it, Yuan Shang had already brought someone over and solemnly thanked Cao Cao, no matter what he thought in his heart, after all, people helped him, and he must be thanked in terms of etiquette, otherwise if it spreads, what reputation does Yuan Shang have?

"Virtuous nephew is polite, you and I are allies, so we should help each other." Cao Cao smiled and scolded his mother in his heart.

It seems that Lu Bu's provocation is self-defeating, but just looking at Yuan Shang's businesslike attitude, Cao Cao knows that Lu Bu's provocation plan has been successful, when did this stupid tiger become so tricky?

"What my uncle said is that my nephew is ashamed." Yuan Shang nodded, and bowed his hand to Cao Cao again: "Our army has been defeated, and there are still many important tasks in the army, so my nephew will retire first, and when he drives Lu Bu away, he will accuse his uncle again." ”

"The virtuous nephew is going to be." Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and it wasn't until Yuan Shang left that his face gradually became gloomy.

"Lord, I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight." Guo Jia's health seemed to be worse today, and at this moment, only Xun You was following Cao Cao, looking at the direction Yuan Shang had left, and sighed leisurely.

Who's to say it isn't?

Cao Cao nodded silently, hoping that the battle on Luoyang's side could make some progress, otherwise, this time it would be equivalent to the three families joining forces to attack Lu Bu, if they didn't win all the way, then this face would be lost.

God seemed to be joking with Cao Cao, and just as Cao Cao was collecting his troops and returning to the camp to organize the next battle, a scout from Hedong sent Li Dian's head.

"Ma Chao!?" Looking at the brocade box, the head preserved with lime, Cao Cao's eyes were a little red, and his voice became extremely cold, Li Dian was an old man who followed Cao Cao when the princes were begging for Dong, not to mention the hard work, and he was also a general that Cao Cao relied on, otherwise how could Li Dian lead the army alone?

This is not the first time he has heard Ma Chao's name, and he also knows that Ma Chao is brave, but Ma Chao is not Lu Bu, and Li Dian has always been cautious in his use of soldiers.

The messenger trembled and told the news of Li Dianzhongfu, Cao Cao's body shook slightly, looked at the messenger and said, "In other words, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses in Hedong have been transferred to Luoyang?" ”

"Not bad." The courier nodded.

"Ahem~" A rapid cough woke up Cao Cao, who was in shock.

"Bonghyo?" Cao Cao turned around, but saw Guo Jia standing at the door of the handsome tent with a pale face, and the expression on his face was also a little gloomy.

With Ma Chao's ability, if he joins the soldiers and horses gathered in Luoyang, then Liu Biao and Cao Ren's soldiers and horses will no longer have much advantage at all, even if Liu Biao takes advantage of Mengjin and directly attacks Luoyang, the other party only needs to be like the current Lu Bu, let Ma Chao take the cavalry to camp outside Luoyang, and it will be difficult for Liu Biao's soldiers and horses to break through Luoyang.

"Lord, it is imperative to be in Jizhou, as for Luoyang, you can order General Cao Ren to guard Mengjin, Mengjin must not be lost!" Guo Jia's pale face was flushed with a sickly flush, and his eyes were a little confused.

Although the battle of Luoyang is important, as long as Meng Jin is in the hands of Cao Cao, no matter what Luoyang's soldiers and horses want to do, Meng Jin's troops are stuck there like a thorn, so that Luoyang's soldiers and horses do not dare to move, as for the success or failure of this battle, it is naturally best for the Jingzhou army to break through Luoyang, even if it cannot be breached, at least before solving Luoyang's Lu Bu army, Liu Biao and Cao Cao can be regarded as allies.

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded silently, and then looked at Guo Jia with concern: "Fengxiao is unwell, go and rest first, don't worry about other things for the time being." ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled and nodded, he knew his physical condition, but he didn't brush Cao Cao's kindness, and said, "Na Jia retired first." ”

"Who is in charge of the Hedong military now?" Seeing Guo Jia leave, Cao Cao frowned.

"It's Li Dian's deputy general Li Zhao, this person is quite brave, and when Li Dian was alive, he attached great importance to this person." Xun Yu bowed.

"Li Zhao?" I haven't heard of it, but it doesn't matter, Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Ordered to go to Hedong, take over the soldiers and horses in Hedong, and garrison Fenyin, since Ma Chao has retreated, then don't let him come back." ”

"Whoa!" Xun You nodded.

"By the way, how is the battle situation in Youzhou?" Cao Cao asked, with the continuous competition and stalemate between the three parties in Yecheng, the battle situation in Youzhou has gradually become important, if Zhang Liao defeats Yuan Xi and occupies Youzhou, then the war in Jizhou will be even more unfavorable.

Shaking his head, Xun Yu said: "There is no information yet, but Yuan Shang has already sent the veteran Han Rong to Youzhou to support. Known as the king of the northern spear, and is good at using soldiers, with the assistance of this person, Yuan Xi should not be defeated too quickly. ”

Cao Cao nodded and sighed, what an eventful time, three years ago he couldn't have imagined that Lu Bu could complete such a big reversal in just three years, and he already had the strength to compete with the princes of the world, this battle was going to be difficult!

The arrival of Youzhou, Jixian, and Han Rong finally relieved Yuan Xi, who had been beaten by Zhang Liao for several months, although his father's death made Yuan Xi a little sad, but he still had to live, right?

In the Assassin's Mansion, Yuan Xi enthusiastically hosted a banquet for Han Rong.

"With the help of the old general, forgive that Zhang Liao will be broken in a few days." Yuan Xi smiled and toasted frequently to an old man in the banquet.

"The second son is polite." Although the old man is full of gorgeous hair, but his spirit is shining, a pair of old eyes are flashing from time to time, and he clasped his fists and said: "The old man is here to help the second son, tomorrow I will go out of the city to call the battle, and cut that Zhang Liao under the horse, and then the second son can lead the soldiers and horses of Youzhou to the south, help the lord to level Lu Bu, and achieve a meritorious achievement." ”

"Good! Tomorrow I have to see the old general's skills. Yuan Xi knows that although this old man is old, he never accepts the old, and his martial arts are also quite exquisite, what Han Rong said, is exactly what he wants, during this time, he was afraid of being killed by Zhang Liao, and the generals under his command have been killed by Zhang Liao in the past few months, which has led to low morale, even the loss of Dai County, Shang County, and now even Fan Yang has been taken away by Zhang Liao.

Early the next morning, when Zhang Liao arranged his troops and prepared to attack the city, he saw that Jixian County, which had closed the city gate for a month, suddenly opened the city gate, and a veteran general with a Biao Wuhuan cavalry rushed out, stood under the city, jumped his horse and raised his gun, came to the front of the two armies, and shouted loudly: "I am Han Rong, the general of Jizhou, which is Zhang Liao, why don't you come up quickly to receive death?" ”

Looking at the old man in military uniform, Zhang Liao was a little amused, and laughed loudly: "There is no one in Jizhou, so he actually sent an old man to send him to death!" Who will take down this old thief with me? ”

"Wait a minute, general, I'll go get this person's head!" In the crowd, Wu Dang excitedly dragged his mace out of the battle and headed towards Han Rong Pegasus.

Wu Dang was the Tu general who followed Lu Bu to pacify the grassland, his martial arts were good, and he made a lot of contributions in the grassland, after he came back, Lu Bu allowed him to enter the Han nationality, and was promoted to a partial general, under Zhang Liao, but Lu Bu commanded too many fierce generals, Mo said Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Pang De Ma Chao, these have become famous generals, is some small generals in the army, martial arts are not bad, although these days with Zhang Liao has made a lot of achievements, but they are also killing some stragglers, how to prove their bravery, At this time, seeing that the other party actually had a military general come out to fight, and he was still an old man with Huafa, he immediately excitedly slapped his horse out of the battle to face Han Rong.

The mace kept waving in his hand, bringing a strange roar, and Wu Dang laughed loudly: "Listen up, old thing, the person who killed you is the general Wu Dang!" ”

Wu Dang is Wu Dang to obtain a Han name for himself, after all, he entered the Han nationality, and with his previous name, others will know that he is a foreign race as soon as they hear it, and with the homonym of Wu and Wu, he changed his name to Wu Dang.

When Han Rong heard this, he didn't raise his eyelids, as if he was asleep on a horse, and when Wudang rushed closer, the mace slammed towards his head, Han Rong's eyelids were raised, and he flashed his horse, avoiding Wudang's powerful blow, and then the spear in his hand poked out from the bottom to the top like a spirit snake spitting out a letter, and in Wudang's stunned gaze, he broke his throat and rushed forward a few steps, not letting the splattered blood stain his body.

Zhang Liao's eyes were fixed, as soon as the expert shot, he knew if there was any, although it was just a simple one-off, but no matter the angle, timing or the speed of the shot, it was so wonderful that it was so powerful, just a combination, it would be the infinite power of the Wudang to pick off the horse, this old martial arts, is to look at the world, and few people can stand side by side.

"Old horseman, dare to kill my brother, look for death!" With an angry roar, before Zhang Liao could speak, Ju Tu had already slapped his horse out of battle, and a strong bow in his hand shot at Han Rong, he and Wu Dang had already formed a deep friendship with Lu Bu in the past, and at this moment he saw Wu Dang killed, and he was immediately furious.

"Ignorant child, let the old man teach you archery!" Han Rong heard the bowstring tremble, leaned over, easily dodged the sharp arrow shot by Ju Tu, took off the carved bow on the horse's back, pulled the bow and arrows, and didn't look closely, as soon as he let go of his hand in the direction from which the arrow cluster came, the cold arrow cluster shot at Ju Tu at a faster speed than when he came, and Ju Tu was shot through the head by an arrow before he had time to react, screamed, and fell off the horse.

In an instant, two generals were killed in a row, and after an unspeakable silence, the soldiers behind Han Rong let out an earth-shattering cheer, and the grievances that had been suppressed in his heart for many days were finally vented.

Zhang Liao frowned slightly, glanced at Han Rong, and waved his hand: "Mingjin, collect the troops!" (To be continued.) )
