Chapter 377: One Will Succeed and Ten Thousand Bones Will Wither
In the early morning, the wind was hunting, but no matter how strong the west wind was, it could not blow away the strong disgusting smell of blood in the air. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The rising sun is rising and shining brightly, but no matter how bright the sun is, it can't hide the blood light all over the place, but makes it more dazzling and dazzling.
This largest battle in the late Han Dynasty, after a night of fierce fighting, finally stopped, the field before Guandu, full of corpses and broken weapons, at a glance, everywhere are crows pecking at the corpses, no matter how to expel it.
One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, since ancient times!
In this battle, Cao's army suffered 20,000 casualties and 50,000 prisoners, fled back to Puyang, 1560,000, and 20,000 or 30,000 escaped without knowing what happened.
Gongsun Bai stood on the field, his battle robe had already been stained red with blood, and the dragon halberd in his hand was also stained with blood, he looked at the corpses all over the ground, speechless for a long time, and let the fierce west wind blow the big hunting trick behind him.
Behind him, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were on the left and right, followed by Tai Shici, Zhang He, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other blood-covered generals, as well as Pang Tong and Xu Shu.
Guo Jia's face was full of excitement, and he said excitedly: "After this battle, who in the world can still stop the footsteps of Duke Wei, and whoever determines the world will also be Duke Wei!" ”
Gongsun Bai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Poor chasm riverside bones, like a boudoir dreamer." ”
The soldiers around him were silent for a while, and their originally excited expressions became gloomy, but Guo Jia was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Poor chasm riverside bones, like a person in a boudoir dream...... Wonderful, wonderful, when the world knows, you know the benevolence of the lord. ”
Gongsun Bai gave him a fierce look and didn't speak.
Behind them, Xu Shu and Pang Tong looked at Gongsun Bai's back and secretly lost their minds. As the chief planner of this battle, Pang Tong couldn't calm down for a long time, the battle victory was in his budget, but the process was far beyond his imagination.
The incomparably sharp steel sword, the tough rattan armor, the invincible rhubarb, and the continuous fire...... The armor of the Gongsun Army brought too much shock to him and Xu Shu, and what shocked him the most was the impact of the 30,000 Gongsun Army, it was obvious that in the field battle, the Gongsun Army was invincible.
The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, invincible combat effectiveness, plus a lord who is as humble as a valley, this is the lord that most strategists dream of, and Pang Tong and Xu Shu are no exception.
And the sentence "Poor chasm riverside bones, like a boudoir dreamer", completely hit the most vulnerable part of the hearts of the two strategists. For celebrities, the lord's character and benevolence are more attractive than other aspects, and Liu Bei in history relied on this trick to attract countless ministers and generals.
The two glanced at each other, showing a relieved look in their hearts, if Gongsun Bai inquired about their attributes at this time, he would find that the loyalty of the two was already above 90.
……
Two tiger cavalry rushed across the Suzaku Bridge like arrows, and the horses' hooves stepped on the royal road and galloped towards the palace.
Just looking at their dusty appearance, they knew that they rushed back from the front line, changed horses many times on the way, and the guards guarding the palace gate recognized that the two horses were tigers, and they knew that there was something important, so they dared to intercept them.
Seeing that they had stepped into the palace gate, the two knights rushed towards the Deyang Palace, and asked in a loud voice, "Your Majesty is in the palace?" “
Hu Ben, who was in charge of guarding the Deyang Palace, asked urgently: "Your Majesty and the Emperor are playing chess in the Imperial Garden, the two of them are so urgent, could it be that the battle situation on the Guandu side has been decided?" ”
The cavalry in the lead laughed and said in a low voice: "Duke Wei won a complete victory, and the old thief fled. ”
The guard general was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly pointed in the direction of the imperial garden and said with a smile: "Don't hurry up and play Your Majesty." ”
The two horsemen laughed, and hurried towards the Imperial Garden.
At this time, Liu Xiezheng and Dong Cheng were playing Go in a pavilion in the imperial garden, and they heard a noise coming from afar, but they couldn't hear what was going on, and frowned: "What happened?" “
Dong Cheng also said in his heart: "Could it be that the war has already been decided?" “
Liu Xie smiled and said: "It turns out that Uncle Guo has been hanging this matter in his heart, so he immediately thought of that aspect, there is no room for noise in the palace, these people are so noisy, unless ......"
The two of you look at me at the same time.
Dong Cheng continued: "Unless it is a comprehensive victory for Duke Wei and a big defeat for the old thief......"
Before he could say anything, Wang Yue had already led two messengers to rush in, followed by countless tiger soldiers, eunuchs and palace maids, and no one abided by the strict rules in the palace.
The messenger tiger ben knelt beside Liu Xie, and tears welled up with excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Duke Wei lured the enemy to fight and won a complete victory, only half of the old thief's army of nearly 300,000 returned, and now that Guandu is in the hands of Duke Wei, King Qin's army can go south in a big way, unimpeded." ”
Liu Xie listened leisurely, his expression was as calm as water, and the entire pavilion was so quiet that it could be heard that a needle had fallen, and everyone at the entrance of the hall was crowded with tigers, eunuchs and palace maids, and everyone did not dare to take a breath, waiting for the first reaction of this Ninety-Five Emperor.
Liu Xie pressed the sunspot in his hand down on the chessboard, and said easily: "I won this game, Wei Gong, I really didn't disappoint me!" “
Although his tone was relaxed, the tears in his eyes betrayed him, and it was clear that he had been waiting for this day for a long time, and the years of puppet life, as well as Cao Cao's strength, made him very cautious.
The people around him, all of them were confidants, cheered in unison.
……
At night, Cao Cao, who had been asleep for a long time, woke up faintly.
The ministers who were waiting in the tent saw Cao Cao wake up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Cao, who came to his senses, swept around, and saw that Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others were still there, and Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Cao Ren, Le Jin and Yu Ban and other generals were also alive, and he was secretly relieved.
It's just that Cao Hong was obviously killed by Gongsun Bai before he escaped, and he couldn't come back, so he couldn't help but feel sad again. This loyal Cao brother and confidant general saved his life twice, but after all, he died heroically.
Cao Cao stood up with his wounded body and asked the generals and the soldiers and horses of each battalion how they were.
Cheng Yu's expression was gloomy, and he silently reported the result of this battle to Cao Cao.
The 280,000 army was killed by the Gongsun army, and less than half of the remnants of the army fled and returned.
Fortunately, except for Li Tong and Cao Hong, who were killed in the battle, the rest of the generals such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Cao Ren escaped alive although they were each wounded.
"I've been in the army for many years, but I don't want to be deceived by Gongsun Bai's horseman, it's really ...... Alas, "Cao Cao was ashamed and blamed himself, shook his head and sighed.
All the civil and military forces in front of the tent were also silent, and their expressions were gloomy.
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, why are you so discouraged, I want to rectify the soldiers and horses, go to Guandu, and then fight with Gongsun Bai thief!"
Cao Cao saw that the morale of the generals was low, and when he wanted to say a few encouraging words, he was pulled by the wound on his shoulder, and the pain was so painful that he bared his teeth and cracked his mouth.
Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and several other strategists glanced at each other, their eyes were full of worry, they thought that with Cao Cao's current physical condition, coupled with his current low morale, it was obviously not suitable to fight with the high-spirited Gongsun Army.
After exchanging glances with each other, Cheng Yu said: "The revenge of this defeat must naturally be avenged." However, Lu Gong is a member of the community, and there is no room for mistakes, so he thinks that it is not too late to wait for Lu Gong to recover from his injuries and the soldiers to recover their morale. ”
As soon as Cheng Yu spoke, the rest of the strategists also persuaded one after another, of course, the main reason was that Cao Cao was injured.
As a hero, Cao Cao certainly knew that the strategists were still giving him face, and persuaded him to withdraw his troops on the grounds of his body, which of course meant that he would lose his troops and lose his morale, and he would no longer be able to fight with Gongsun Bai.
Cao Cao, who calmed down, felt justified after thinking about it, and in desperation, he had to follow the advice of the strategists with hatred.
Therefore, Cao Cao ordered the generals to rectify the soldiers and horses, and asked all the soldiers and horses in the original Wuyuan and Dunqiu areas to return to Pingqiu, Jiyang, and the area of Injustice, and turn them into defense.
Just after the generals withdrew from the big tent, Jia Xu, who stayed behind, suddenly said: "Simply rely on guarding, now that the wind and snow are about to rise, maybe you can hold it, if it passes the spring of next year, how can you hold it?" ”
Cao Cao's heart moved, he knew Jia Xu's ability, and he also knew that Jia Xu had never spoken easily, and he took the initiative to speak out at this time, he must have a clever plan, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know what Wenhe's plan is?" ”
Jia Xu motioned for Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Xu Huang and several other confidants to stay, and immediately explained his strategy.
Cao Cao was unconsciously moved when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Yu again and said, "Is it okay?" ”
Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and said: "This big defeat, the lord is angry, and now he and Gongsun Bai Xiao'er are already immortal, you might as well give it a try, even if you fail, it's nothing." Besides, I heard that after the defeat of the lord, there was a chorus of joy in the palace, and if Gongsun Bai was willing to negotiate peace, it would also be a heavy blow to the palace. ”
Cao Cao took a few shots at the moment, and said in a deep voice: "Just follow the plan of Wen He!" ”
……
When Cao Cao returned to Xudu gloomily with the pain and the shame of defeat, Gongsun Bai, who had won a great victory, set up a banquet in Zhongmu City on the south bank of Guandu to celebrate this exciting victory.
Although Cao Cao was defeated today, the army was also damaged, especially the foot soldiers also lost tens of thousands of people. The wind and snow will rise, coupled with the need to deal with the aftermath after the war and the reality of exploring the south bank of the official crossing. Therefore, after the great victory, Gongsun Bai did not rush to enter the army for the time being, but crossed the Guandu and stationed in Zhongmu City, five miles away on the south bank, and raised an army to celebrate.
A great victory, the morale of the three armies was greatly boosted, and the entire Guancheng was immersed in jubilation.
Gongsun Bai was not stingy, took all the money and food, rewarded the meritorious soldiers, killed chickens and sheep to reward the soldiers, especially Pang Tong, the chief planner of the battle, was worshiped as the pavilion marquis.
And Pang Tong showed his talent and made great contributions, Gongsun Bai's reward, the generals were naturally convinced, and no one had any objections.
At the feast, when everyone was enjoying themselves, a scout came to report the latest information from the south.
"Cao Cao received an arrow, ordered the generals to retreat to the Jishui area with all their might, and retreated to Xu Du to recuperate from his injuries, okay, as soon as Cao Cao leaves, there is no doubt that Duke Wei will take Yanzhou."
Upon hearing the news, the spirits of the officers and men became more and more excited, and all of them were enthusiastic and generously invited to fight.
Gongsun Bai, who was in high spirits, also ignited the fire in his chest, so he shot the case and shouted: "What you said is extremely true, pass on the life of the orphan, the whole army rested in Zhongmu City for three days, and three days later, the army went south, captured the entire territory of Yanzhou, and smashed Xudu!" ”
"Capture Yanzhou and go straight to Xudu!"
"Capture Yanzhou and go straight to Xudu!"
The excited generals roared loudly, and in the big tent, the hunting spirit was burning like fire.
Just when the crowd was angry, another pro-soldier colonel rushed in: "Lord Qi, Cao Cao sent an envoy to visit!" (To be continued.) )
