In September of the seventh year of Jian'an, when Zhangye transferred 50,000 slave soldiers into Yecheng, the entire Yecheng, the soldiers and horses stationed as many as 120,000 giants, at the same time Cao Cao 80,000 troops in Liyang, Yuan Shangtun 30,000 soldiers in Wu'an, Yuan Tan with 20,000 Qingzhou troops stationed in the Guantao area, the atmosphere of a big battle with the three forces gradually formed a siege of Yecheng and became tense, although it has not yet been officially started, but the scouts of the Quartet forces often have a battle, and the big battle is about to break out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liyang, Cao Cao's camp, Guo Jia carefully observed the map, looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Lord, Lu Bu has obviously been prepared for this battle, and the arrangements everywhere are extremely appropriate. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, whether it was Lu Bu or Cao Cao, the war of attrition was unwilling to fight at this time, not to mention the protracted time, it was also a great load on the people's livelihood under the rule, but the matter has come to this, the battle of Jizhou is widely implicated, the success or failure of this battle not only means who is the overlord of the north, but more importantly, it also represents the victory or defeat of the struggle between the family and Lu Bu.

"Attack, attack." In the end, Cao Cao nodded fiercely, he also knew that today's Lu Bu has become more difficult to deal with after completely abandoning the family, in the past, with the secret help of Xuzhou Chen's father and son, it took a year to fight Lu Bu, not to mention that now Lu Bu is already a hegemon, dominating the land of Sanzhou, and it is difficult to capture it urgently.

"Why should the lord worry, no matter how powerful Lu Bu is, I don't believe that I can't deal with him if I join forces with Zhong Kang! When the time comes, the two of us will work together to kill him, and everything will be solved? Seeing Cao Cao and the others' solemn faces, under Cao Cao's account, a nine-foot man alongside Xu Chu stood up and said loudly.

This person's name is Yue Xi, is the son of the old master of the hermit in Shandong, excellent martial arts, good at making a three-pronged Fang Tian halberd, there is the courage of ten thousand people, when Lu Bu attacked Puyang, he had fought lily with Lu Bu and was undefeated, and later the old master died of illness, Yue Xi went home to guard filial piety, did not catch up with the Xuzhou war, and now returned, together with Xu Chu, for Cao Cao's left and right guards.

At the beginning of the battle of Puyang, he fought with Lu Bu after Lu Bu fought alone with six generals, and he took advantage of it, but in terms of ability, he was no worse than Xu Chu, since the battle of Montenegro, Xu Chu was dedicated to avenging his brother, honing his martial arts day and night, and often learning from Yue Xi, the two of them felt that their martial arts had made a lot of progress, and he didn't believe that the two of them would lose to Lu Bu if they joined forces.

When Cao Cao and the others heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and smile, with Lu Bu's current identity, how could he surrender his identity and come out to fight with others, it is not a question of daring or not, but the identity is not equal at all, people are hussar generals, champion Hou, the overlord of the land of three states, if Cao Cao runs out to fight generals, maybe Lu Bu will agree, but does Cao Cao dare?

"General Yue is brave, it's just a matter of marching and fighting, it's not a child's play." Xun You shook his head and smiled on the side.

Yes, if you follow Yue Xi's theory, then Lu Bu will call out the princes to fight a round now, and he will be the lord of the world, why bother?

"My lord, Jia has a plan, although it may not be useful in this battle, but in the long run, it is a necessary strategy." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Guo Jia pointed to the direction where Liu Biao was on the map: "Liu Biao was originally moved by Lu Bu to send troops to Wancheng to contain our army, but now it is different from the past, as soon as Yuan Shao dies, the situation in the north has become a situation where the lord and Lu Bu are two tigers, or Liu Biao can be mobilized to send troops to Nanyang and Luoyang!" ”

"Will Liu Jingsheng send troops?" Cao Cao hesitated, judging from the original situation, Liu Biao's dispatch of troops was obviously more beneficial to Liu Biao, but it was a pity that Liu Biao was only stationed in Nanyang, and did not advance an inch.

"Whether Liu Jingsheng is willing or not is useless." Guo Jia smiled and said: "Just hand over what Lu Bu did in Yecheng to the Kuai family, and these Jingxiang families will urge Liu Jingsheng to send troops!" ”

If Lu Bu's territory continues to expand in the future, not only Jizhou, but also the Central Plains, Jingxiang and even Shuzhong, the blow to the family is devastating, not to say that the family will be extinct, but under Lu Bu's policy, the family must return the vast majority of the resources in its hands to the people.

Ha, who is used to living a rich and noble life, and suddenly teaches you to live a well-off life, who wants to? It is not difficult to see from Lu Bu's policy that on the issue of the family, Lu Bu has room to pave the way for his subordinates in the future, and Lu Bu's subordinates are basically poor families or wealthy families, but it is rare to let the scholar class who have been accustomed to holding privileges release the privileges in their hands, which is human nature.

Therefore, Guo Jia concluded that no matter whether Liu Biao wants to or not, he will have to fight, and he will go all out to attack Luoyang, as long as Luoyang is broken, there will be a gap in Lu Bu's territory, and he can attack Guanzhong to the west, and Jizhou can go to the north.

"Good!" Cao Cao stroked his palm and said: "Just follow the words of filial piety." ”

At the same time, the envoys of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan also came to see Cao Cao, this war, to cooperate with the three parties, Cao Cao is naturally good to appease, and said that this time into Jizhou, is to come for Lu Bu, as long as Lu Bu is repulsed, he will definitely retreat, so that the envoys of both sides feel at ease.

The next day, Cao Cao ordered the army to go out, 80,000 troops from Liyang to Yecheng, at the same time Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan two armies also separately pulled, in order to prevent Lu Bu from breaking through, the three soldiers and horses as close as possible, echoing each other, Lu Bu is a master of surprise warfare.

"Why, do we have to listen to that Cao Cao?" A hundred miles east of Yecheng, Feng Li, the general under Yuan Shang, as Yuan Shang's vanguard officer, sent away Cao Cao's heralds, Feng Li said very unhappily.

This is Jizhou, the territory of the Yuan family, even if Cao Cao is here to help in the war, but now he directly makes them obey Cao Cao's orders, which makes people feel like they are dominating.

It also made a large number of generals under the command of Eryuan dissatisfied, after all, a year ago, the two sides were still subordinate to the enemy, why did they suddenly want to unite?

"Let's go, speed up the march!" Feng Li snorted coldly: "Before evening, we are going to rush to Yecheng!" ”

"General, the previous order told us to slow down our march and beware of Lu Bu's sneak attack." A personal guard looked at Feng Lidao worriedly.

"Joke!" Feng Li sneered: "I am the general of the Yuan family, but I am not his subordinate of Cao Cao, why should I listen to him?" Command the three armies and speed up the march! ”

At this moment, the 3,000 vanguard army accelerated the speed of the march and rushed all the way to Yecheng, gradually distancing themselves from the main force.

Lu Bu was not idle during this time, Yecheng was originally a strong city, and was reinforced by Lu Bu again, and at the same time set up a dark camp on the hill east of Yecheng, commanded by Ma Dai and Ma Tie, hidden in the mountains on weekdays, once the enemy retreated or when the two armies were evenly matched, they would kill from the mountain and attack the enemy by surprise.

"Brother, there is a group of soldiers and horses under the mountain that is rapidly advancing in the direction of Yecheng." In the cottage, Ma Tie came to Ma Dai in a military uniform and said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" When Ma Dai heard this, he stood up: "Do you know who the troops are?" ”

"It's Feng Li, the general under Yuan Shang, it seems that he should be the vanguard, there are about 3,000 people." Ma Tie said in a deep voice.

"Three thousand?" Ma Dai nodded, frowned and asked, "Have you ever found out where the nearest unit of the thief army is?" ”

"Not yet." Ma Tie shook his head.

"Heh, light the enemy and rush forward, Brother Tie, you stay in the camp, wait for your brother to behead this Feng Li, and frustrate the spirit of the coalition army!" Ma Dai sneered.

"Brother, how about killing chickens with a knife, how about the younger brother fighting in this battle?" Ma Tie hurriedly said, with a feeling of eagerness in his eyes.

Ma Dai frowned slightly, looked at Ma Tie, to be honest, Ma Tie is not too young now, Ma Chao has made a great name in Xiliang when he is this age, but as the youngest of the three brothers of the Ma family today, whether it is Ma Chao or Ma Dai, he will subconsciously protect this youngest brother.

But it is not a way to go in the long run, the son of Jiangmen will have to be alone in the future, and it is impossible to be together all the time, it is better to hone it in advance, at least he is there, and he will not be in any danger, and he nodded at the moment and said: "It's okay, Brother Tie will take two thousand soldiers and horses to ambush beside the mountain road, and when Feng Li's army is more than half, he will kill from the side, and bring a thousand men and horses for his brother to sweep the battle for you!" ”

"Yes!" Ma Tie responded excitedly, hurriedly went out to order troops to go down the mountain, Ma Dai also ordered a thousand men and horses, ordered the deputy general to guard the camp, and brought his own men and horses down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Feng Li and his men and horses have arrived at the foot of the mountain of Ma Daitun's soldiers, as long as they cross this mountain, it is Yecheng, and a deputy general reminded: "General, the terrain of this mountain is dangerous, it is better to take a detour." ”

"When?" Feng Li snorted coldly, glanced around, shook his head and said: "Then Lu Bu is not an immortal, I will wait all the way, even if he wants to ambush, it is impossible for him to arrange an ambush so quickly, send orders to the soldiers, speed up, and after crossing this mountain, we will rest." ”

When the deputy general heard this, he could only respond helplessly, and the three thousand men and horses pulled into a long snake in the mountain road and quickly cruised in the mountain road.

Just as Feng Li was halfway through, a cannon suddenly rang out on the mountain roads on both sides, followed by a group of men and horses from the mountains and forests, cutting Feng Li's troops into two sections.

"Kill!"

The sudden attack made Feng Li's soldiers and horses in chaos, in the crowd, Ma Tie led the troops to kill the troops, seeing that Feng Li gathered a team of soldiers and horses to fight to the death, Ma Tie sneered and said sharply: "No plotter, Xiliang Ma Tie is here, and he won't come up to die!" ”

"Huangkou child, look for death!" Feng Li couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw that the person who came turned out to be a young general, roared angrily, and slapped his horse and danced his spear to fight.

"Ding~" The two quickly met, the weapons collided, Feng Li only felt that his arms were numb, and the spear in his hand almost wanted to get rid of it, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Ma Tie smiled proudly: "Yuan Shang's generals, only have such ability?" After speaking, he stabbed Feng Li off the horse, and the surrounding Yuan army saw that the main general was killed, and suddenly there was a big chaos, and a swarm of bees began to flee, and Ma Tie did not chase after him, but just sent someone to pack up his weapons and baggage, and returned to the cottage.
