(102) Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard the drastic changes, and he fought Changping Mengde crisis
Bohai Taishou Mansion, Yuan Shaozheng proudly held up the battle report and said to the military advisor Xu You: "Military advisor, the day before yesterday, Ju Yi broke Cao Cao's soldiers and horses with 30,000 first, and even the fierce general Dian Wei was hit by several arrows, if it weren't for the little-known Xu Chu who suddenly rushed out to stop Yan Liang, Dian Wei would definitely die this time." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xu You heard this, stroked his beard and whispered: "I heard that Xu Chu was in Dong Zhuo's army when he was in the same state Zhao Yunzhan was up and down, so looking at it, what he said is true!" Yuan Shao put down the battle report and stood up excitedly: "Now that Lu Bu's main force is being dragged by Dong Zhuo, it is difficult to move an inch, as long as there is another three or five days, I will definitely be able to completely annihilate Cao Cao's troops and horses." And then directly take Xuzhou Tao Qian, by that time I will sit on the land of the two states, and then unite with Xiliang Dong Zhuo to attack Lu Bu, and then share the world with Dong Zhuo, haha! ”
Before the words fell, Yuan Tan rushed into the hall with a frightened face outside the door and hugged Yuan Shao and said: "Father, the big thing is not good, I just received an urgent five hundred miles from Luoyang, Gongsun Zan gathered the princes of the Seven Roads to break through the Duting, Dong Zhuo's former battalion generals Wen Ping and Zhang Xiu defected to Dong Zhuo and died of self-immolation, Xiliang Li Dao and Guo Yan led the soldiers and horses to surrender when they heard the news, Lu Bu was immediately seized by Lu Bu and escorted to Luoyang, leaving Ma Chao to command the whole territory of Ganliang, and all the soldiers and horses of the department stayed in Liangzhou, Lu Bu now only took Zhao Yun, Liu Bei and a few others to return to Luoyang quickly, I think it's time to come to Luoyang now! As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao's hand that was still waving froze in mid-air, and his whole person looked blank as if he had been struck by lightning. Yuan Tan has never seen his father behave like this since he came out, whether he is persuading or retreating at the moment, he is sweating profusely in the same place and doesn't know what to do, and finally Xu Yu said: "Lord, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the situation has changed suddenly, and he can no longer stick to the previous plan, he must make changes immediately!" ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he turned to Xu Yu and hugged his fist as if he was grasping a life-saving straw: "Mr. said this, could it be that he already has a strategy in his chest?" Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Xu You almost lost his breath, and secretly scolded in his heart: Your uncle, I don't want to relieve your father and son, I just learned the news, where did it come from. Although he was angry in his heart, Xu You still breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out his thoughts in the shortest possible time, and then slowly said in the hopeful eyes of Yuan Shao's father and son: "In the current situation, our army has been opposed to the princes of the world, and there is no way to retreat, so we have to fight against the water. ”
To put it in my heart, the current situation is very sinister, Dong Zhuo's death has made Yuan Shao suffer, but since he has fought with the princes of the world, he can only fight to the death, win, win the world, lose, and break his bones. Yuan Shao closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Order all the military horses in Bohai to be pulled, and in three days later, they will meet on the front line of Changping and Dongchuan, and order the soldiers and horses of Yan Liang and Ju Yi not to move recklessly within three days, and wait for our army to encircle and annihilate Cao Mengde's department." With Yuan Shao's determination, Bohai County all entered a state of readiness, and the main generals of Yuan Shao's army, such as Zhang Nan, Gao Gan, He Mao, and Wang Mo, led their troops and horses to Changping to join Yan Liang and Ju Yi on the front line, and a big war was ready to start.
Dongchuan Changping line, now has become the battlefield of Shura, Cao Cao converged with Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai and other eight princes although with the advantage of troops to suppress the fierce attack of Ju Yi's 50,000 Xiandeng dead soldiers, but their own casualties are also very heavy, the fierce general Dian Wei was seriously injured, all the soldiers and horses were injured, Cao Cao had no choice but to divide the troops Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Liu Dai four princes to guard Changping, and he led part of the main force to sit in Dongchuan. In the face of the strong combat effectiveness of the first dead soldiers, even Guo Jia was difficult to come up with a strategy to break the enemy in a hurry, so the princes of the Nine Roads could only rely on the two fortresses of Dongchuan and Changping to defend the terrain very favorable, and Ju Yi on the opposite side did not seem to be able to bear the fact that the first dead soldiers trained by himself had not yet suffered more than half of the casualties in the confrontation with the real opponent - the trapped camp, regardless of Yan Liang's repeated urging, he was also stationed outside Dongchuan City, Yan Liang was furious and led more than 30,000 cavalry from his headquarters to leave the brigade to besiege Changping, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
On the official road, the soldiers and horses of the brigade stretch all over the mountains and fields with more than 100,000 people, all the soldiers are wearing white helmets and white armor, divided into three parts, the third part is listed as a Xuanwu battle array, the army is surrounded in the center and slowly moves forward, the two generals in the center of the formation are wearing black cloud armor, holding a green dragon spear, and the other is dressed in flame armor, holding a yellow dragon hook and sickle, these two people are the main generals of Bingzhou Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, the two of them were ordered by Lu Bu to lead the trap camp and Tao Qian, Zhang Chao's troops and horses to guard the army; The second part is mainly cavalry, with the state war cavalry and Dong Zhuojun cavalry integrated from Luoyang, Liangzhou and other places, mixed with some cavalry of the northern princes such as Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu and others, the main general is the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, Sun Wentai and the generals, the first part is listed as six columns, the sword and shield soldiers are on the outermost, the spearmen are second, the archers are second, the front of the team is erected with eight big soap flags, respectively written "Lu", "Yuan", "Sun", "Ma" and other princes' names, the first six princes in full uniform are surrounded by one person, This person wears a purple and gold crown with three-pronged hair, a Xichuan red brocade robe on his body, a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, a delicate lion belt around his waist, a neighing red rabbit horse under his crotch, and Hu Che'er, the general who carries the Fang Tian painting halberd that makes the world frightened, follow him every step of the way, this person is the commander of the coalition army, the world's heroic Lu Bulu Fengxian.
At this time, Lu Bu's prestige and edge had reached an unparalleled level in the princes' army, and if nothing else, he rushed him to go thousands of miles to Ganliang for the Ma family's brothers and sisters, and his heroic feats such as breaking Niu Fu and deciding Han Sui in a battle made all the princes see Lu Bu's boldness; appointed Gongsun Chan as the acting commander of the coalition army instead of the general of the Bingzhou Army as the main general, and ordered all the soldiers and horses of the Bingzhou Department to be assigned to Gongsun Zhan's control, so that the princes saw Lu Bu's character; Gongsun Zhan, who stayed behind, was dissatisfied with Yuan Shu and other princes, but still relied on the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jiangdong and other prefectures and counties to attack the camp and burn Dong Zhuo, so that the princes saw Lu Bu's vision; With three points, coupled with Lu Bu's resourcefulness, strength, martial courage and the tenacious combat style of his soldiers, all the princes have been completely convinced by Lu Bu, even if Yuan Shu is a self-proclaimed fourth and third duke, and he does not put anything in his eyes on weekdays, his eyes are also full of reverence when he looks at Lu Bu.
This point, Lu Bu from Liangzhou escorted Li Dao, Guo Yan returned to Luoyang when he was aware of it, so he dared to train the coalition army with such fanfare, after the young emperor appointed Ma Chao as the pastor of Liangzhou to control the whole territory of Ganliang, leaving Liu Bei's three brothers and the original guard of Luoyang's Yulinwei veterans more than 10,000 people to guard, led the army to Changping, Lu Bu was very conflicted at the moment, although in the eyes of the generals, all the princes of the world were under his control, Liu Bei, a shoe seller, would not make any waves even if he stayed in Luoyang and was recognized by the young emperor. But in the history books, Liu Bei and his ancestor Liu Bang are the same, and he must cut off all opportunities for development and growth, but judging from the current situation, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are allowed to go to the battlefield, these two masters will definitely break into a greater reputation and make greater contributions, it is better to let them stay in Luoyang, and finally under the approval of Jia Xu, Lu Bu is also iron-hearted, anyway, Jia Xu also said, if Liu Bei really dares to mess around, I will take the princes of the world to lead the army to fight Luoyang again in the name of the Qing monarch's side!
Open the bamboo slip in his hand, Lu Bu's originally stretched brows gradually wrinkled, in the past few days, Cao Cao has sent more than a dozen urgent documents in a row urging Lu Bu to hurry up to help, which can make a generation of traitors so headaches, it seems that this Yuan Shao is not as incompetent as written in the book, think about it, Cao Cao's current strength is more than a star and a half worse than the battle of Guandu, and he was quickly transferred to Dongchang after the battle of Bishui Pass. If it weren't for the subsequent deployment of the Eight Route Princes to support, the situation would be very unpredictable at this time! In the battle report, the battle report focused on depicting the strength of the combat effectiveness of the first deceased soldiers, highlighting the two points of Xu Chu's defeat and Dian Wei's serious injury, it seems that this Yuan Shao is really difficult to deal with!
was thinking hard about the strategy of breaking the enemy, a puff of smoke and dust rose in front of him, and as far as the eye could see, the person who came was the pioneer Zhao Yun's deputy general Ma Yunluo. Since the Battle of Liangzhou, Ma Chao entrusted Ma Yunluo to Zhao Yun, and told Lu Bu to take care of his future daughter-in-law in Bingzhou, so Ma Yunluo followed Zhao Yun to Luoyang with three thousand silver luan elite horses. Ma Yunluo stood up on his war horse and hugged his fist at Lu Bu and said: "Report to the general, my vanguard of 20,000 troops has entered the territory of Changping, and it is less than thirty miles away from the camp of Yan Liangjun. Lu Bu heard the words and thought: Now that Wen Chou has died in battle, only Yan Liang and Ju Yi are of great use in Yuan Shao's army, if these two people join forces together, it is really difficult to deal with them, but since they are stationed separately, they have given themselves various opportunities to break through, thinking of this, Lu Bu raised his head and ordered: "Yan Liang's department is only more than 30,000 people, but it can be surrounded and annihilated in a battle, I will immediately transfer the general Yuan Shu's department to support, so that Zilong and Yuan Taishou will move forward at full speed after joining forces, and before sunset, Yan Liang's department must be completely annihilated, as for Yan Liang, Dead and alive, they will all be! When Yuan Shu heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Take the order!" Then he retreated and went with Ma Yunluo.
The words are divided into two ends, and it is said that Cao Cao has been defending against danger since the previous battle with Ju Yi was tied, Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao was unwilling, after all, Ju Yi and Yan Liang had a total of only 70,000 horses and actually supported nearly half of the strength of the coalition army here, if it were not for this, the battle of Duting would not have lasted so long. So he offered advice to Cao Cao: "My lord, now, Yan Liang and Ju Yi are divided into two places, why don't our army take this opportunity to break through, kill Yan Liang first, and then send a general to lead the elite of our army to pretend to be a rout and mix into the Juyi camp. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately called up Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban and 20,000 elite soldiers to go out of the city to Changping to set up a formation, and Xu Chu had to stay behind because he wanted to guard against Juyi's sneak attack, so Cao Cao did not notify him to accompany the army, but asked him to strictly guard his post, the youngest son Cao Ang was only six years old, because Cao Cao was grateful to the Sun family and the heroes of the Ma family out of the youth, so he also took him with the army to observe.
Changping, Yan Liang's battalion, at this moment Yan Liang was leading his generals to plan the next combat policy, and suddenly he heard that the scout from the front battalion came to report: "Report to the general, on the west side of our army's camp, there are more than ten sentry cavalry, looking at the situation It seems that they are spying on the formation of our army, and our army scouts and cavalry look at it from a distance, and find that one of them is Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun!" Yan Liang couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "This Cao Cao is not guarding the city in Dongchuan, what is he doing in Changping?" "When Yan Liangcao and Cao Cao had a relationship in Luoyang, he admired Cao Cao's courage and mind very much, and he definitely had the courage to come here to watch the camp, but he was very wise, and he didn't dare to guarantee that there were any traps in it?" Thinking of this, Yan Liang raised his head and said: "Order the front camp, if its people dare to approach, they will be repelled with arrows, if it is provoked, the front army will ignore it and let it go!" Hearing this, the subordinate general Zhu Ci hurriedly said: "The general must not, this is a godsend, if the general can capture Cao Cao, the enemy army will be in chaos, we can decide in a battle, so deal with the army that then rushed to Lu Bu to occupy the right time and place!" This sentence said to Yan's conscience, now he obviously has tens of thousands of military horses but he does not dare to attack because he is afraid that the casualties will be too heavy to deal with the subsequent arrival of Lu Bu's military horses, and now if he can capture Cao Cao, he will definitely be able to take advantage of the situation to capture Beihai and Xuzhou counties. , but for the sake of insurance, Yan Liang still ordered: "Order all battalions of soldiers and horses to strengthen their vigilance to strictly prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to sneak attack!" Ling sent scouts to Dongchuan to inform General Ju Yi that Cao Cao was out of the city! When the army heard this, they clasped their fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”
At this time, Cao Cao only took the Xiahou brothers and a few personal soldiers by his side, and saw the door of Yan Liang's camp open from a distance, and a general wearing red Ying armor and carrying a red blood sword rushed to the front first, and immediately expected that it was Yan Liang over there, so he ordered: "Slowly retreat, lead Yan Liang to our army's ambush site!" When the Xiahou brothers heard this, they held a sharp blade in their left and right hands to protect Cao Cao, and more than ten cavalry lined up to protect Cao Cao in the center, and everyone retreated.
Yan Liang led thousands of cavalry to chase Cao Cao for more than ten miles, and suddenly found that Cao Cao was missing, but more than 10,000 troops and horses appeared in front of him, and the battle formation seemed to have been waiting for a long time, Yan Liang smiled bitterly: In the end, he was ambushed! The guard next to him said: "General, withdraw!" Yan Liang smiled and pointed behind him: "Do you think we still have a way out?" Sure enough, before Yan Liang's words fell, dust rose behind him, and he looked at Cao Cao, with the Xiahou brothers and his young son Cao Ang, hugging his fists at Yan Liang and saying: "General, I know that you are extremely brave, and now you are in a desperate situation, it will be useless to be brave, why not descend early!" When Yan Liang heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "The person who is a confidant dies, Yuan Taishou is as kind to me as a mountain, how can I defect in battle, not to mention Cao Cao, do you really think that you can keep me Yan Liang with just 20,000 people and horses?" The armies obeyed the order and lined up to counterattack! ”
Hearing this, the cavalry quickly lined up into a cone-shaped battle formation, shielded their bodies with leather shields, and roared angrily with Yan Liang: "Charge! More than 5,000 cavalry lined up in a cone-shaped cavalry formation rushed in the direction of Cao Cao like a tank. Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, Cao Cao also waved his hand and said, "Attack!" A group of cavalry under the leadership of Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers also rushed forward, the moment the two cavalry handed over, they heard hundreds of people let out heart-rending screams, like a kite with a broken line, fell straight to the ground, and instantly was covered by the neighing war horses, Yan Liang, who was rushing to the front, waved the red blood treasure knife and pushed it hard, several Cao army forwards were knocked off their horses, and Xiahou Yuan was not ambiguous here, the blade flashed in his hand, several Yuan cavalry and his shield were split in half, Xiahou Yuan had long wanted to fight with Yan Liang, Immediately shouted: "Where is Yan Liang, let someone try the sharp blade in his hand!" Yan Liang sneered when he heard this: "A certain red blood treasure knife never kills nameless ghosts, who will report the name!" Xiahou Yuan rushed to Yan Liang and said: "A certain is Xiahou Yuan, and the unicorn tooth in his hand leads General Yan to make a move!" Yan Liang smiled: "It's up to you, and one more general is completely fearless!" Speaking of this, Yan Liang's complexion changed, and he waved the red blood treasure knife and ran to Xiahou Yuan's face is door, Xiahou Yuan saw the opportunity to wave the unicorn tooth, only to see a flash of white light and currently hold the red blood treasure knife, just this one face, Xiahou Yuan felt that his arms trembled slightly, but it was a shame to retreat as a martial artist, even if he knew that he was invincible, he had to fight to the end, so Xiahou Yuan turned around on the horse, raised his foot and kicked away the red blood treasure knife that was forced in front of him, and the Qilin tooth blade in his hand turned, and he slashed at Yan Liang's left rib from bottom to top.
Yan Liang's body shape remained unchanged, he held the red blood treasure knife in his right hand and wiped it to his side, only to hear the sound of "dang" and block the qilin tooth at his side, Xiahou Yuan grabbed the fighter and quickly withdrew the qilin with both hands, turned his left hand and backhanded the sharp blade, turned around his neck and shouted: "Go die!" The unicorn tooth roared out and went straight to Yan Liang's neck! Yan Liang raised the Red Blood Treasure Knife in his left hand and sneered: "Carving insect skills!" With his right hand, he grabbed Xiahou Yuan's unicorn teeth in mid-air out of thin air, Xiahou Yuan was surprised, and he was busy pulling the unicorn teeth hard, but Yan Liang's strength was infinite, and he pulled the unicorn teeth more than a dozen times in a row, but he didn't move at all. Yan Liang smiled slightly: "It seems that your skills have run out." As he spoke, his face changed: "It's my turn!" With the strength of his left hand, he raised the red blood treasure knife and knocked it hard, and the unicorn tooth came out of Xiahou Yuan's hand, Yan Liang threw the unicorn tooth in the direction of Xiahou Yuan with his backhand, and the red blood treasure knife in his hand came out, Xiahou Yuan dodged the unicorn tooth, but he couldn't guard against the red blood knife that came after the sneak attack, and he was frightened, only to see a gun suddenly appear in front of him to open Yan Liang's red blood treasure knife, Xiahou Yuan fixed his eyes, it turned out to be the eldest brother Xiahou Yuan who rushed to help with a powerful gun, Xiahou Yuan pulled out the unicorn teeth from the ground and stepped forward to fight with Yan Liang with his brother.
Although Yan Liang bravely crowned the three armies, his subordinates gradually reduced in the rush, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed when he saw this: "In this way, this battle is worry-free!" Before the words fell, a sharp arrow went straight to Cao **, and at the critical moment, a strong man rushed out of his side, raised Cao Cao with one hand, and held the Yanling arrow in the air with the other hand, and everyone looked and found that it was Xu Chu. It turned out that Xu Chu patrolled the city and returned to the camp to find that Cao Cao led the army to ambush Yan Liang here, and expected that the generals around him were not Yan Liang's opponents, so he hurried to the scene and immediately rescued Cao Cao, Cao Cao didn't have time to say a few words of thanks to Xu Chu, and he heard the people around him shouting: "Lord, look!" Everyone patrolled and found that a large number of Yuan troops appeared on the left flank at some point, and the first general held a treasure eagle bow and glared at him. Everyone exclaimed: "Oh no, Ju Yi has arrived!" ”
