Chapter 291: Hebei Four Court Pillars

The wind and snow stopped, and the sky and earth were white and vast.

In the depths of winter, the sun looks bright, but in fact, it exudes a bitter chill. This is also the last time that the harsh winter has raged in Jian'an for four years, but it is terrifyingly cold, so cold that people feel uncomfortable, and so cold that people ...... I can't say it clearly, I don't understand it.

On the official road from Puyang to Baima, a group of sergeants was marching quickly.

The hot breath exhaled from the mouth of the war horse was exceptionally clear in the icy temperature. Exhaling into ice doesn't seem to be an adjective.

Xu Huang kept urging the soldiers and horses to speed up, and he felt even more restless in his heart.

Yuan Shaojun suddenly launched an attack at Nianguan, which surprised everyone. Yuan Shao did not move before, and even retreated for a hundred miles, which made many people think that at least before the year, Yuan Shao would not attack. Among these people, Xu Huang is also one of them...... No one expected that Yuan Shao's hand would confuse many people by retreating into advance. Just when everyone was defenseless, they forcibly crossed the river.

Yuan Shao's shot was quite thunderous.

At least in Xu Huang's view, there is a huge change from Yuan Shao's previous behavior.

Clever!

Xu Huang couldn't help but sigh sincerely, and at the same time felt strange, who was the person who came up with such a plan for Yuan Shao?

"How far is it from Hakuba?"

"Back to the general, at this speed, you can reach Hakuba before noon."

"I don't know if Liu Taishou can hold on."

Xu Huang took a deep breath, looked back at the soldiers and horses marching behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Order the three armies, speed up the march, and be sure to arrive at Baima before noon." ”

"Whoa!"

The herald flew away, but Xu Huang felt even more uneasy in his heart.

But he couldn't tell what went wrong, so he could only urge the soldiers and horses to speed up their march and recapture the white horse as soon as possible.

From Puyang to Baima, you must pass through a dry river beach.

This place is called Zhao Ying because of the Warring States Period, the general of Zhao State, Lian Po Tun troops, so it is called Zhao Ying.

The terrain of the river beach is flat, and there is no dangerous terrain. In addition, the riverbed dried up, making a wilderness outside the city with a radius of dozens of miles extremely deserted.

Zhaoying is thirty-six miles away from Baima and forty miles away from Puyang, which is located in the middle of the two places.

Walking to this place, Xu Huang exhaled a turbid breath and was about to give the order to speed up. Suddenly, a scout, Pegasus, came to a halt in front of him.

"General, there is a detachment of men and horses ahead that is blocking our way."

"Oh?"

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are the soldiers and horses?" ”

"Looking at the banner, it seems to be the general under Yuan Shao, and the soldiers and horses under Yan Liang."

Yan Liang?

Xu Huang gasped in his heart, revealing a look of vigilance.

As early as when Yang Feng was serving, he had heard of Yuan Shao's fierce generals. Among them, the four are the most prominent, and they are called the four courtyard pillars of Hebei. These four people are Zhang He Gaolan in Hejian and Yan Liangwen and Chou in Yecheng. Among them, Yan Liangwen is the most courageous, known as Hebei Arms. It means that these two people, like Yuan Shao's right-hand man, have a prominent status.

I think that at the beginning, the princes of the 22nd Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo.

was blocked by Huaxiong at Bishui Pass, and more than a dozen generals of the ASEAN Army were beheaded.

Yuan Shao once said: If my admiral Yan Liangwen is ugly, then Huaxiong will be arrogant? Later, this Huaxiong was designed by Sun Jian and beheaded in Guanxia, and Sun Jian became famous and became a leading figure among the princes. But because of this, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu formed a grudge...... Xu Huang is a very stable person, and when he heard that Yan Liang led the department to block the way, he knew that things were not good.

Could it be that the white horse has already been broken?

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered, "The three armies will stop and line up to meet the enemy." ”

At this time, Xu Huang could not retreat, but could only move forward.

If he withdraws his troops, Yan Liang will definitely take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill...... If that happens, you're bound to lose. So, stabilize your position first, and then make plans.

As soon as Xu Huang ordered the formation, Yan Liang led the soldiers and horses, and he was already approaching.

That Yan Liang, jumping off the horse, was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and was mighty and majestic. A black horse in his crotch, with a big knife in his hand, majestic and murderous.

The two armies lined up against each other, and Yan Liang urged the horse to rush out of the flag gate.

"A certain Yan Liang, Xu Gongming is here?"

At this time, Xu Huang naturally couldn't show the slightest cowardice, and urged the horse to the front of the formation.

"Yan Liang, Xu Huang is here."

"Xu Gongming, don't talk nonsense to you, now my lord is in accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven, sending troops to rebel, to clear the monarch's side, and to revitalize the dynasty. The white horse has now been taken down by me, and Liu Yan has also become a ghost under the knife of a certain family. If you are wise, dismount and surrender at once, and I will speak well for you in the presence of your lord, and I will protect you from being a high official...... But if you are obsessed, then don't blame a certain family and send you and Liu Yan as companions. ”

Liu Yan, sure enough, was killed!

Xu Huang's heart trembled, and he suddenly roared, "Yan Liangxiu wants to be arrogant...... Cao Gong obeyed the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, but it was the expectation of the public. Your old man Yuan Shao, from the house of the third prince of the fourth world, was favored by the imperial court, but he did not know how to serve the imperial court, and he supported the army and respected himself, so he was the real national thief. A certain family is loved by Cao Gong, how can he be the vicious dog in front of Yuan Benchu? Yan Liang, wait for me to kill you and take revenge on Liu Taishou. ”

After that, Xu Huang took off the iron and urged the horse to rush towards Yan Liang.

Yan Liang was also furious, and the wheel knife caught up. Iron hooves trampled on the river beach and built ice splashes...... Although they had never fought each other, Xu Huang sensed that something was wrong with the charge of the two. Yan Liang's men and horses are one, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and his momentum is amazing.

In this kind of pre-battle confrontation, momentum is particularly important.

As soon as Yan Liang's big knife came out, Xu Huang knew that this guy was a step stronger than himself.

However, he could not retreat, because by this time he had no way out...... If you retreat, it will inevitably be a rout one after another. Now all I can pin on is the BMW under my crotch. But I don't know, with Cao Ji's Three Treasures in the Horse, can he deal with Yan Liang? At this time, the saddles, stirrups and horseshoes offered by Cao Ji were only used in a small area. In addition to the tiger and leopard cavalry, it is those henchmen under Cao Ying's command, or super-first-class generals who can be equipped with such equipment. Xu Huang is also one of them.

The two horses neighed, and in an instant, they met each other.

Xu Huang didn't say a word, he was very distracted and stabbed.

This stabbed out, tearing the air with a roar, as fast as lightning.

But Yan Liang smiled, and the big knife flipped outward, slashing at the iron ridge. The huge strength made Xu Huang shake his horse involuntarily, and his arm suddenly went numb. The iron sinks downward, and then loses its direction. And the two horses continued to charge, Yan Liang's big knife pressed Xu Huang's iron sword, flipped over, pushed up along the pole brush, and wiped out. From dignified to light, the transformation is free, which makes Xu Huang particularly uncomfortable. I felt that the iron in my hand was loosened, and it was wiped with the big knife. Frightened, he hurriedly erected an iron bolt, an iron door latch, and the bell burst into Yan Liang's swift and lightning blow...... Then, the two horses staggered and separated.

His hands trembled slightly, and Xu Huang swallowed his saliva.

He turned his horse's head, gritted his teeth, and rode out again.

And Yan Liang laughed and said: "Xu Gongming, his skills are not weak, but unfortunately he is not an opponent." ”

Compared with strength, Yan Liang is much stronger than Xu Huang. Although both of them belong to the kind of super-first-class fierce generals, they also have ascended the throne within the super-first-class. seems to be Yan Liang, almost a super-first-class middle level, but Xu Huang is only a super-first-class end. Although there is only such a slight gap, when it comes to the match, it is enough to kill people's surnames. If it weren't for the three treasures in the horse, Xu Huang might have died just now. With the weight of the stirrups, he sat firmly on the horse. This time, he no longer dared to leave half of his strength and fight with Yan Liang.

Fighting generals is a tactic that can greatly improve morale.

Although since the Han Dynasty, the emphasis on formations and tactics has been emphasized, but the fighting generals are still the most important part of the confrontation between the two armies.

With the three treasures in the horse, Xu Huang and Yan Liang fought for more than 20 times, but they still didn't win or lose. Yan Liang's big knife is suddenly as fast as lightning, and suddenly it is as dignified as Mount Tai pressing on the top, fast and slow, light and heavy, unpredictable...... Xu Huang gritted his teeth, and a rod of iron flew up and down, whirring.

After the two fought for thirty rounds, Xu Huang suddenly heard that there was chaos in the rear of the formation.

He hurriedly jumped out of the battle circle.

Looking up at the main formation, I saw an iron horseman, about a thousand people, roaring into the formation.

The leader of the general, black helmet and black armor, a blue-maned horse in his crotch, and a snake spear in his palm...... "Xu Gongming is leaving, and Yanren Zhang Fei is here." ”

It's Zhang Fei!

Xu Huang was shocked and hurriedly dialed his horse to rescue.

But Yan Liang couldn't let him escape, so he urged the horse to stop him.

"Xu Gongming, your opponent is me, where are you going."

The big ring knife whirred, with the sound of wind and thunder, and the knife cloud rolled. Xu Huang was already two points weaker than Yan Liang, and he relied on equipment to tie the game. But now, a fierce tiger appeared behind him, where did Xu Huang still have the heart to fight, only seven or eight rounds, he was killed by Yan Liang sweaty and embarrassed.

On the other side, Zhang Fei's snake spear flew over, and the gun was bloody.

Yan Liang's troops also launched a charge, killing Cao's army to the point of near rout.

Zhang Fei smiled evilly, and rushed towards Xu Huang with a spear, "Xu Gongming, take your life." ”

A Yan Liang has already made Xu Huang almost irresistible, if he is adding a Zhang Fei...... Xu Huang is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, the iron in his hand suddenly exerted force, the gun was fast, and after forcing Yan Liang back with three shots in a row, he turned the horse and left.

As soon as he left, Cao's army was even more leaderless, and it collapsed in an instant.

Yan Liang and Zhang Fei joined forces, and without saying a word, they pursued for ten miles before they stopped.

Xu Huang's defeat was really miserable.

When he set out from Puyang, he brought nearly 4,000 people with him, but after breaking out of the siege, there were only six or seven hundred people left around him...... Since the white horse has been lost, it must return to Puyang as soon as possible and report to Xudu.

Thinking of this, Xu Huang didn't dare to stay, and took the remnants of the defeated army to retreat in the direction of Puyang.

By the evening, Puyang City was already in sight.

Xu Huang let out a sigh of relief, immediately whipped up, came to the city gate, and shouted: "Who is on duty in the city, open the city quickly!" ”

The soldiers at the head of the city took a look.

"Ah, it's General Xu, open the city gate, open the city gate."

With a series of shouts, the gate creaked open. Xu Huang was about to enter the city, but saw a fast horse swept from the city gate like a stroke. The general, who was nine feet tall, wore a parrot green robe, and had a nine-foot-five-inch long sword in his hand.

"Xu Huang, Guan Yu has been waiting for you here for a long time, look at the knife!"

Before the words fell, the person who came had already arrived in front of Xu Huang.

The machete in his palm fell, and he saw an afterimage passing by, and the knife had already arrived in front of him.

Fortunately, the moment Xu Huang opened the city gate, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, so Le Ma took a step back. When Guan Yu rushed to him, he hurriedly raised his head to block. only heard the sound of the bell, and Ma Xi hissed under his crotch, and retreated back again and again...... There was a huge force coming from the iron tower, which made Xu Huang a little unbearable.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Xu Huang turned his horse and left.

"There is an ambush, go quickly!"

Xu Huang crouched on the horse's back and urged the horse to gallop away.

Guan Yu saw that he couldn't take Xu Huang's surname with a knife, and he was immediately furious, urging the horse to chase after him.

Dozens of Cao soldiers swarmed up and stopped Guan Yu. Guan Yu was even more angry, and the big knife flew in the air like snowflakes, whirring.

At this time, a team of soldiers and horses also rushed out of the city, and together with Guan Yu, they quickly divided the dozens of Cao soldiers into pieces.

Xu Huang has already run away...... Guan Yu urged the horse to chase after him, but he heard someone on the city tower: "Second brother, poor Kou Mo chase...... We just need to occupy Puyang. ”

Looking up, I saw a middle-aged man appear in the city, it was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

Guan Yu really obeyed Liu Bei. He reined in the war horse, twisted his long hair and smiled, "Since my brother has an order, let him Xu Gongming go once." ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Liu Bei's eyes were scorching, revealing a touch of joy: Now, he finally asked the thief for a game!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” "Puyang lost? ”

In the Jinwu Mansion, Cao Peng looked at Jia Xu in great surprise.

He said that he had come to report to the Northern Army for the inspection documents, but he didn't want to be stopped by Jia Xu, telling him that the white horse had been lost and Puyang had fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao.

Slowly, slowly, something isn't quite right!

Cao Peng desperately recalled, recalling the battle of Guandu in his memory.

Historically, the early battles of the Battle of Guandu did include the Battle of the White Horse.

But in the Battle of the White Horse, Cao Ying seems to have only lost the White Horse, not Puyang. But this time, why did even Puyang lose?

History, it seems, has undergone some minor changes.

Don't underestimate this small change, but it makes Cao Ying's situation even more sinister.

Historically, Yuan Shao captured the White Horse in order to ensure the smooth movement of the army to the south; And now, the loss of Puyang is equivalent to the eastern barrier of Cao Ying being divided. Cao Ying was already in some trouble in Yanzhou. The killing of Bian Rang at the beginning made the relationship between him and Yanzhou Shizi strained.

Therefore, when Cao Ying attacked Xuzhou, LΓΌ Bu occupied Puyang without much effort and caused chaos in Yanzhou.

So far, the situation in Yanzhou has improved a lot, but it does not mean that the relationship between Cao Ying and Yanzhou scholars has been repaired. If Yanzhou is in turmoil...... Cao Peng couldn't help but gasp!

"The loss of Puyang made Cao Gong's previous deployment in Qingzhou suddenly disrupted.

Although Zang Xuangao has the ability, this person has a lively eyelid and cannot be credulous. Previously, Puyang was in hand, and Yu Wen was restrained by soldiers and horses, Zang Ba might not have any ideas. But now, Puyang is lost, and Yu Ban's flank has been threatened, and I am afraid that he is too busy to take care of himself. ”

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he looked at Cao Peng with a smile.

"Youxue, do you have an idea?"
