Liu Yong, Dong Xian, and Pang Meng are hanging, but Liu Xiu has another purpose in his busy schedule this time, which is to win Zhang Bu at the same time.

Regarding Zhang Bu's ambitions, deeds and shortcomings, we have said more or less before.

Lao Zhang didn't have any imperial talent, but he had a lot of imperial ambitions.

This, of course, is very dangerous.

When he seized one side, he was already hated by Liu Xiu; He accepted Liu Yong's title of "King of Qi", but rejected Liu Xiu, which made Liu Xiu kill him;

When he beheaded Liu Xiu's envoy and Guanglu doctor Fu Long, Liu Xiu wanted to get rid of him quickly.

It's just that at that time, not long after Liu Xiu ascended the throne, the war in the south and north was very tight, and there were too many housework, and he couldn't spare his hands to clean him up.

In this way, taking advantage of Liu Xiu's busyness, Zhang Bu hurriedly expanded his power and quickly occupied 12 counties such as Jiaodong, Beihai, Jinan, and Taishan.

With the advancement of the war against Liu Yong, especially the imperial expedition, Liu Xiu thought that since he had made this errand, he must take Zhang Bu easily.

However, here is a reminder that there are many ways for Liu Xiu's so-called "takedown", for example, taking down Xie Gong is to cut off his head, and taking down Liu Xuan is to destroy his king

Chao, taking down Li Yi is to kill people with a knife, taking down Chimei is to first convince them and then surrender, and taking down Liu Yong's father and son is to force their own people to cut off their own heads.

And so on, and so on.

Then let's see how Liu Xiu wins Zhang Bu.

When Liu Yong died, Zhang Bu once planned to support Liu Yong's son Liu Wei as the emperor, and he learned from Wang Mang to make a "Dinghan Gong" and then find an opportunity

will take the world into his own hands.

In Liu Xiu's opinion, Lao Zhang is really kicking his nose and face.

In October 29 AD, Liu Xiu arranged a crusade against Zhang Bu on the way to the east, and the main responsible person was our acquaintance: Geng Yi, the general of Jianwei.

Geng Yi has always given us the impression of an outstanding young general in the past.

Back then, Liu Xiu was struggling in Hebei, and Geng Yi, Wu Han, Gai Yan and others led thousands of buddies to go south to Liu Xiu. They traveled thousands of miles,

killed more than 400 senior cadres of Wang Lang, killed more than 30,000 of his soldiers, conquered 22 county seats, met Liu Xiu in Guang'a, and presented one to Liu Xiu in distress

A generous gift.

If it weren't for the extreme fanaticism of Liu Xiu's admiration, no one would have done this; At the same time, if you are not too talented, let alone run thousands of miles, let alone attack cities and cut people

, it is not easy for anyone to find Liu Xiu smoothly at this moment of chaos.

Geng Yi, who was 21 years old at the time, did it, he admired Liu Xiu so much that he was so fanatical that he ran thousands of miles and attacked everything.

After that, he followed Liu Xiu to fight everywhere, conquered the city, and never lost.

Liu Xiu was called the emperor, and among the first batch of senior cadres appointed, there was him: General Jianwei.

Among Liu Xiu's apprentices and fans, Geng Yi can be said to be a typical representative: first, he is loyal to Liu Xiu until his death; The second is that he has it very much

ability, as mentioned above, he can fight habitually, and he has not tasted defeat; The third is that Liu Xiu also trusts and cares for him.

Of course, many historians are critical of Geng Yi, believing that he pacified 46 counties and slaughtered 300 cities in his life, and was as "greedy for merit and easy to kill" as Wu Han.

However, some historians disagree, believing that he is the "victorious general".

(Forty-six counties of Yisuoping, three hundred slaughtered cities, no setback.) ）

I think we should close the coffin when Geng Yi dies in the future, when he is ready to write a eulogy for him.

When Geng Yi was about to take command and fight Zhang Bu, what we wanted to emphasize to everyone was that Geng Yi could fight, and he was a Confucian general, and Liu Xiu thought he was a big one

Use.

In the past few years, Geng Yi has basically been busy leveling the enemy and guarding the place.

Wherever Liu Xiu points out, he fights, and where he hits, he can settle it.

In October 2 years ago (27 AD), Liu Xiu returned to his hometown of Chungling Province and took him with him.

(弇cong Xing Ling.) ）

This is the first time Liu Xiu has returned to his hometown after becoming a brother, not only to return to his hometown, but also to have more complex political intentions.

With the respect of the emperor, Liu Xiu repaired ancestral tombs and ancestral halls in his hometown, and feasted his hometown fathers.

For such an important event, Liu Xiu brought Geng Yi with him, which shows the importance he attaches to him.

At this time, although Liu Xiu had ascended to the throne, the world was not entirely his: not only were there separatist forces everywhere, but also there were rebels in the subordinate centers

Lack of people.

For example, Yuyang Taishou Peng Chong, Zhuojun Taishou Zhang Feng successively rebelled against the water, and Zhang Bu established himself as the king.

Geng Yi proposed to Liu Xiu his grand plan to pacify the world, and took the initiative to ask Ying, asking for a rebellion in the north, and then marching east to clean up Liu Yong and Zhang Bu.

Liu Xiu admired his courage and courage so much that he took his advice and assigned him to attack Yuyang first.

Therefore, Liu Xiu's royal expedition, Geng Yi is not only the strategist, but also the specific implementer.

Before fighting Zhang Bu now, Geng Yi had already joined forces with Zhu You, Wang Chang, Sai Zun, Wu Han, etc., to force Peng Chong to death, capture Zhang Feng alive, attack the city, and surrender the soldiers

More than 40,000 people.

In these wars, their old Geng family not only planned and fought a decisive battle for hundreds of miles, but also Geng Yi's father, Shanggu Taifen, and his younger brother, Fuhu

General Geng Shu cooperated with all his might, charged into battle, and made immortal achievements.

Of course, Liu Xiu also gave the old Geng family a few great compliments, and we will talk about it later when we tell the story of Peng Pet.

Now, Geng Yi has launched a full-scale war against Zhang Bu in accordance with Liu Xiu's deployment.

At this time, Liu Xiu was personally commanding Wu Han, Gai Yan and others to fight Dong Xian and Pang Meng, and asked Geng Yi to beat Zhang Bu, so as not to make trouble for Zhang Bu.

Geng Yi was serious, and of course, Liu Xiu also gave him full authorization at this time.

Before starting the move, Geng Yi made a good move: first reorganize the troops, mix the surrendered non-commissioned officers with his own basic ranks, and build up the army's Chinese officers and generals at all levels.

The leaders and working groups arranged the strategies and tactics of the soldiers who undertook various tasks and various arms, and then led the cavalry captain Liu Xin and Taishan Taishou Chen Jun.

Commanded the army to cross the river from Chaoyang Bridge (now east of Jiyang, Shandong) and fight eastward.

(Yi Xi collected the soldiers, concluded the trilogy, placed the generals, led the cavalry captain Liu Xin, Taishan Taishou Chen Jun to lead the troops to the east, from Chaoyang Bridge to the Ji River.) ）

For the sake of narrative convenience, let's call Geng Yi's army "Seeking Zhang Jun".

Here is a little explanation, there are many names named "Liu Xin" in these years, we can't figure out what the reason is, Liu Xiu's cavalry captain Liu Xin and Wang Mang's national teacher Liu Xin

Same name, same surname, not one person. Also, the fierce Chen Jun served as Taishan Taishou at this time, and was transferred to Langya Taishou soon after.

As soon as he saw Geng Yi coming, Zhang Bu was also ready to take the call.

He immediately appointed his great general Fei Yi to garrison Lixia (now Jinan, Shandong), and at the same time sent troops to guard Zhu'a (now Jinanxi, Shandong), and also in Mount Tai and Zhong

Dozens of military camps lined up in the city (now south of Jinan, Shandong) to form a line of defense against Zhang's army.

Since he has never had a trick with Liu Xiu, it can be said that Zhang Bu is not afraid of Liu Xiu at all. Otherwise, he would not have killed Liu Xiu's envoy Fu two years ago

Prosperous.

Now, he thinks that he is ready to work and can play with Liu Xiu a few times.

I think Lao Zhang may still think that in troubled times anyway, whoever has a hard fist is the big brother.

Geng Yi marched into the army and went straight to Zhu'a. Since Lao Zhang is hard-hearted, then he doesn't say anything, let's fight!

One morning, Geng Yi launched an attack on the city, and his movements were very rapid. There was no accident, it was not yet noon, and Zhu Acheng was broken.

(Since the siege of the city, the day has not been uprooted.) ）

However, although Geng Yi's movements were fierce, they were very measured.

This time, he did not slaughter the city as usual, and did not let his men smash the city and kill all the people, but deliberately left a gap in the encirclement.

Zhang Bu's soldiers were in shock, and they rushed out of the city and rushed to Zhongcheng.

Thus, a chain reaction occurred:

When the soldiers and civilians of Zhongcheng saw the defeat of Zhu'a, they panicked very much, and immediately packed their luggage and abandoned the city and fled.

(When the people of Zhongcheng heard that Zhu Ah had collapsed, they were terrified and died.) ）

In one day, Geng Yi easily captured two cities.

As soon as he took the photo, he hadn't reacted yet, and he lost two cities in a row, Fei Yi felt that it was difficult to explain, so he quickly adjusted his deployment. He divided a detachment of men and handed them over

Led by his younger brother Fei Dang, he guarded Juli (now east of Licheng, Shandong).

In this way, the Fei brothers and sons were deployed in Lixia and Juli respectively, forming a horn trend.

However, this kind of horn momentum can't frighten Geng Yi.

Geng Yi fights, his movements are fast, ruthless, and varied, and ordinary people can't resist it.

Now, he quickly swung his army to surround Juli.

However, he raised his fist and did not fall easily, he wanted to try to get a big victory for a small price.

This was taught by the master Liu Xiu.

What we want to say is that Geng Yi has been familiar with the scriptures since he was a child, is good at military affairs, and has lofty aspirations. After all these years of practice, he has come to understand the laws of war

After being very profound and thorough, he has been very handy in grasping the rhythm of war.

If you don't consider the political stance and humanitarianism, he, like his master Liu Xiu, has already entered the realm of "playing war".

Now, he wants to talk to the Fei family brothers in front of him.

While besieging Juli, he sent his soldiers to cut down trees on a large scale, and he let out a loud blow saying that he would cut down timber to build tools and fill the moats so that the city could be sieged.

(The soldiers first threatened Juli, cut down more trees, and threatened to fill the trenches.) ）

By this time, Zhang Bu's soldiers had already begun to understand Geng Yi's power, and many people quietly surrendered.

A few days later, Geng Yi got a report that Fei Yi, who was guarding the calendar, heard that Geng Yi was going to attack Juli and was planning to rescue his younger brother.

Geng Yi thinks his plan has worked.

Therefore, he continued to make high-profile deployments: ordered all units to urgently build siege equipment, and three days later attacked Juli with all his might.

At the same time, he arranged for the supervision of captured soldiers to be quietly relaxed, deliberately creating opportunities for some of them to escape. Actually, this is for them to talk.

When these escapees returned to Lixia, they reported what they had heard and seen in Geng Yi.

Fei Yi believed it.

Three days later, Fei Yi really led an army of 30,000 people to rescue Juli according to Geng Yi's design.

Hearing the report and seeing Fei Yi take the bait, Geng Yi was very happy, and said to his subordinates: "The reason why I built siege equipment on a large scale is to attract Fei Yi to come over.

Now he's sent to the door, isn't that exactly what we asked for?! ”

Therefore, Geng Yi immediately left 3,000 soldiers to continue the siege, and personally led the main force to occupy the high place of the hill where Feiyi must pass.

When Fei Yi arrived with his troops, Geng Yi was condescending, waved his army and rushed down, and almost annihilated the enemy.

At the same time, Geng Yi's subordinates also cut off Fei Yi's head.

Poor Fei Yi was easily killed by Geng Yi in this way.

But that's not all, Fei Yi's head can also be used for advertising.

Geng Yi ordered the soldiers to raise Fei Yi's head high and walk around outside the city of Juli, in fact, to intimidate the Zhang Bu defenders in the city.

At this moment, the soldiers and civilians of Juli were quickly enveloped in fear.

Fei Dang neither had his brother's courage nor his brother's stupidity, so he hurriedly led his troops to escape and went to find his master Zhang Bu.

(Then collect the head to show that in the city of Juli, the city is fierce, and Fei dares to return to Zhang Bu.) ）

This is Geng Yi, who can fight without defeat, but also without fighting.

At the beginning of the war, he took 4 cities lightly, but Geng Yi still felt that it was not enjoyable.

Just now, he only performed a small trick, and he hadn't stretched his muscles yet.

Now, he arranged for his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and collect military rations and grass.

Immediately, he marched eastward.

Now, he can basically ignore it.

Everywhere Zhang Jun went, he saw the city broken, and the people were flattened, and all the cities that were not taken were taken, and all the enemies who did not surrender were flattened.

He pacified more than 40 military camps in one go, broke through the towns he encountered, and completely occupied Jinan County, and reached Zhangbu's capital Juxian County (now west of Changyi, Shandong).

(Yi recovered its accumulation, attacked the unconquered, leveled more than 40 battalions, and then settled Jinan.) ）

Although Zhang Bu was defeated, his strength still existed.

At this point, he had no choice but to take it personally.

In fact, he is not personally or personally, because Geng Yi has already called the door.

Zhang Bu himself was stationed in Xixian County, and sent his younger brother Zhang Lan to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to defend Xi'an (now Huantaidong, Shandong), which was located in the northwest of Xixian County, and summoned the cadres and civilians of each county

Tens of thousands of horses were stationed in Linzi (now north of Linzi, Shandong) in the southeast of Xi'an.

Xi'an is about 40 miles away from Linzi.

In this way, Zhang Bu believes that he has formed a line of defense that is the horns of each other.

Geng Yi led the army commander to drive straight into the painting (now southeast of Huantai, Shandong).

It is a small county town in the painting, but the location is just between Xi'an and Linzi, and Geng Yi can use it as a resting place for Zhang Bu.

Geng Yi immediately observed the surrounding situation, and the plan to break the enemy was quickly clear. His next deployment is interesting.

He found that the first two cities he wanted to break were Xi'an, which was small, but it was guarded by 20,000 elite soldiers led by Zhang Lan; Linzi City is big, it is a famous city, but it is a defender

It was the cadres, the military and the people from all over the country who were temporarily gathered by Zhang Bu, and they were very complex.

In this way, for Zhang Jun and his decision-makers, who will be flattened first will depend on the level.

Geng Yi concentrated his generals and colonels in all aspects, held a military meeting, and ordered the whole army: be on alert, and take Xi'an in 5 days.

(It is the school meeting, and the next five days attack Xi'an.) ）

Zhang Lan felt that Geng Yi was not easy to deal with, so he was very vigilant. He inquired about Geng Yi's deployment, did not dare to slack off, and urged his soldiers to strengthen the defense day and night.

Embattled.

The days leading up to the war can be very torturous.

Finally, on the fifth day, in the middle of the night, Geng Yi suddenly ordered: all the soldiers should get up immediately, eat on the "bed", and prepare for march and battle.

Tianming rushed to Linzi City.

(In the middle of the night, all the generals will eat, and they will come to Linzi City.) ）

Geng Yi wanted to make a move, he believed that this action could make the Zhang family brothers and at least Zhang Lan stunned.

However, there are different opinions within Zhang Jun.

Why do you want to let go of Little Xi'an and go to Linzi?

Isn't it more stable to fight in Xi'an?

There are not a few people who hold this opinion, for example, the protector Xun Liang.

The opinions of General Xun and others seem to be reasonable, they believe that in order to besiege the small Xi'an with the aftermath of Zhang's great victory, one person and one foot also kicked down the city wall.

(The guards Xun Liang and others fought for it, thinking that it was advisable to attack Xi'an quickly.) ）

Everyone thinks that if you fight Xi'an, Linzi can't come to the rescue, but if you hit Linzi, Xi'an will inevitably come to the rescue.

It's just that everyone is still an ordinary general, and Geng Yi is no longer an ordinary soldier!

As we said not long ago, Geng Yi's understanding and grasp of war has been extremely profound and thorough, and he has entered a point where he can play war.

War is the most cruel game of human beings.

It's a game that concentrates the most of humanity's intelligence, resources, and time, and creates more disasters than all other human activities.

I'm sorry, but we have to take the liberty of saying that there are not many people who really understand the true meaning of war and can use it freely.

Note that we are talking about knowing the true meaning of war and being able to use it freely.

Theory alone does not count, Zhao Kuo's paper talk and the blind command of Li De, a foreigner during the Red Army period of our country, are too harmful; Light can fight doesn't count, that kind only knows

The soldiers of the Bianren can only be regarded as war machines, which will gradually be replaced by high-tech products.

This highest state of knowing war and being able to use it freely, or the highest state of "playing war", Sun Tzu called it "a soldier who surrenders without a fight".

We agreed, and at the same time, we also believed that "a small battle can lead to a big victory".

Liu Xiu is the one who can reach this realm, and judging from his actual performance, it is not an exaggeration to call him the "God of War".

In this sense, Geng Yi is also close to this realm.

Sorry, we can only watch this lively. However, in actual combat, Geng Yi wants to explain the truth to everyone.

He had his own opinions in his chest, and resolutely disagreed with the suggestion of Xun Liang and other generals to fight Xi'an first, and patiently persuaded everyone:

"When Xi'an heard that we were going to attack, it would inevitably strengthen its defense day and night, and be afraid of itself all day long, how could I save others. Not so in Linzi, we suddenly

Attack, they will be terrified, and they will be defeated in a day. Once Linzi is conquered, Xi'an will be isolated, and Zhang Lan will be isolated from Zhang Bu, so he will inevitably abandon the city and flee. this

way, we can hit one and get two. If we attack Xi'an first, the enemy will have strong troops and a strong city, and if we can't take it for a while, we will cause heavy casualties. Even if Xi'an is defeated, Zhang Lan can also lead the army to defend Linzi. Linzi City University, he can be used as a base to echo Zhang Bu, observe our virtual reality, and follow me

We hold each other. When these two teams of the enemy are united, the consequences are unpredictable. We are deep into the enemy's hinterland, and our supplies are not sufficient, and within 10 days, we will not fight

Self-collapse. Everyone's opinion is wrong, listen to me. ”

So, Geng Yi quickly waved his army to Linzi.

Geng Yi's movements were too fast, too accurate, and too sudden, and he took Linzi in half a day. He then led his army to capture the city with ease.

(Then he attacked Linzi, pulled it out in half a day, and entered the city.) ）

The next play was completely performed according to Geng Yi's script.

When Zhang Lan saw that Linzi was lost, he was very frightened, and immediately led the crowd to flee back to his brother in Xixian County.

Quite simply, he ran slowly for fear of being beaten.

In this way, Geng Yi accurately grasped the enemy's soldiers' psychology and defensive reality, and his tactics of attacking the east and west, and winning from small victories to big victories were initially realized.

But that's just the beginning, and there's still to come.

According to the current battlefield practice, Geng Yi's army marched for many days, and the supply of grain and grass would not be too abundant

Less should also be grabbed everywhere to improve your life.

That's what Zhang Bu thought.

However, Geng Yi's cards may not be in accordance with the convention. He strictly ordered the three armies, demanding strict military discipline and not looting at will.

Of course, the second half of his military order is very interesting: everyone bear with it first, and then do it when Zhang Bu comes.

This is obviously to tease Zhang Bu and make him angry.

(Yi Nai ordered the army to have no predatory drama, and Zhang Buzhi was required to take it to provoke Bu.) ）

But Zhang Bu is not an imperial talent, nor does he have an imperial mind. Although he was not provoked by Geng Yi, he drilled Geng Yi in another way

Snare.

Since Zhang Bu established himself as king, he has fought with Youlai, Datong and other peasant rebels and won victories, so he is very conceited.

If anyone who wins one or two battles calls himself a general, and opens a dyeing shop with two or two colors on hand, then we speculate that there are two possibilities, one is that he is a top master

, we are talking about the color is less, but when he was just starting out, he was playing with the sword and going sideways; The second is that he is a two-hundred-and-five, and he has a little water in his head.

Now, when Zhang Bu heard Geng Yi's deployment, he laughed and said to his subordinates:

"Back then, You Lai and Datong's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, I could defeat them on the spot. Today, Geng's army is less than them, and they are all fatigued from the battle, what is there to fear

Target? ”

So, he decided to compete with Geng Yi.

On this day, Zhang Bu took his three younger brothers Zhang Lan, Zhang Hong, Zhang Shou, as well as the former Datong Qu Shuai Chongyi and others, leading an army of 200,000 and was vigorous

Rushed to Linzi and stationed in the east of the city, preparing to attack the city and fight Geng Yi.

As the old saying goes, to fight a tiger, you have to go to your own brothers, and you have to rely on father and son soldiers to go into battle.

Zhang Bu brought his three younger brothers with him, which shows the importance he attaches to this battle. He thinks that if he does this, there shouldn't be any problem in taking Geng Yi.

I'm sorry, but at this point, we'd rather say that Lao Zhang is desperate.

(Foot with a small number of soldiers, can be taken in one fell swoop, is to know that the crowd will be attacked in Linzi.) ）

During this period, Geng Yi had profoundly analyzed the situation and the battlefield situation on both sides and had a relatively mature combat plan. Of course, he also had a certain victory

confidence.

He reported to Liu Xiu in writing:

"At present, I am guarding Linzi, digging deep trenches and building high camps, Zhang Bu came from Xixian County to attack, and the men and horses are tired. If Zhang Bu attacks, I will lure him and attack him; If you run

Run, I immediately followed the pursuit. I fought according to the city, a hundred times more elite, waiting for work with ease, attacking the void with reality, and within 10 days, I could get Zhang Bu's head. ”

(Between the ten days, the first step can be obtained.) ）

Here, Zhang Bu's army is nearly 200,000, while Geng Yi's army against Zhang is only 30,000 horses, and the disparity in strength is obvious.

Geng Yi can see the essence of the problem through the phenomenon.

Rather than dwelling on the comparison of the number of friends and foes, he grasped the more fatal thing behind these phenomena: the real battle determined by the mental outlook of man

Force!

Therefore, he believes that although the enemy is outnumbered, the difference between the hearts of the enemy and us is too great, and he is very sure of victory.

Liu Xiu had great trust in Geng Yi and fully agreed with his battle plan.

At the same time, Geng Yi also believes that confidence is confidence, and you must be careful to deal with it when you really fight.

Speaking of which, I can't help but think of the words of a great man who should despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically.

Geng Yi thought so and did so.

Besides, Lao Zhang, when it comes to fighting, he is still selfish. The tough battle was in front of him, and he let Chongyi go first, and his brothers and sons would take a look at it later.

Geng Yi personally went into battle, led the three armies out of the city, crossed the Zishui, and encountered the difference.

In any case, it was a hard-fought battle. If it is hard, Zhang Bu may not be able to gain the upper hand.

However, Geng Yi wanted to exchange the smallest possible price for the greatest possible victory; At the same time, he may also want to make the fight as enjoyable as possible.

At this time, the cavalry troops of the Zhang army could not hold back and wanted to rush forward to break the enemy.

Geng Yi has always been known for his speed in battle, and his cavalry has repeatedly performed miraculous feats.

This time, Geng Yi was afraid that he would hurt Zhang Bu as soon as he came up, and he didn't dare to play any longer, so he ordered the cavalry to calm down.

Geng Yi felt that at this time, it was not only necessary but also ornamental.

He ordered the whole army to retreat, and he must pretend to be frightened and weak when he retreated.

Zhang Jun deliberately retreated to Linzi City, took the city as a camp, and deployed defenses in the city.

(Therefore, showing weakness to hold its anger is to lead back to the small city, and Chen Bing is inside.) ）

While Geng Yi was arming in Linzi City, he arranged for Liu Xin and Chen Jun to camp outside the city to resist the enemy.

It was only a technical problem that Zhang Jun could not all return to the city. Because since you have met the enemy outside the city, no matter how you retreat, you can't retreat completely.

Otherwise, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to follow in.

When Zhang Bu saw Geng Yi retreating and winning a small victory, he thought that Geng Yi was nothing more than that, and his arrogance swelled rapidly.

He ordered his men to attack with all their might.

Liu Xin fought head-on, and he was not polite.

In Linzi City, Geng Yi boarded the platform of the late Qi Palace to watch the battle, only to see Liu Xin and Zhang Bu fighting inseparably.

Linzi was originally the capital of Qi State, there was a palace here, there was a ring platform in the past, but after the war, the ring platform has long been dilapidated, but the foundation still exists, used to watch the enemy

It's still okay to take a look.

At this time, Geng Yi spotted a target outside the east gate, where Zhang Bu's Chinese army was located.

So, he immediately got off the stage, swung his sword on the prancing horse, and personally led a part of the elite soldiers to rush out of the east gate and kill the enemy.

Fighting against each other, specializing in picking up hard bones and gnawing is Geng Yi's consistent style.

We weren't at the scene at the time, and we didn't know what Zhang Bu did, but his Chinese army was lined up to meet the enemy, or rather, Geng Yi was rushing into the enemy's formation.

As soon as Zhang Bu saw that someone in the city was killed, he immediately organized resistance, but his movements were still half a beat slower, and the team was killed in a mess by Geng Yi.

(It is to lead the elite soldiers to the horizontal rush under the eastern city and break it.) ）

However, after all, Zhang Bu had too many men and horses, just like when Liu Xiu fought Kunyang 6 years ago, Geng Yi stepped over the pile of enemy corpses, which was also quite expensive

Energetic.

Geng Yi is determined to reinterpret the wonder of his master Liu Xiu back then!

Zhang Bu relied on the large number of people and organized his subordinates to resist desperately. He knew that he couldn't afford to lose at this point.

Geng Yi commanded while personally wielding his sword and slashing people.

Suddenly, a stray arrow hit him in the thigh.

He was not afraid, and in order not to affect everyone's emotions, he casually pulled out the saber at his waist and sharpened the rapier shaft, and continued to command.

His demeanor was still the same, and even the guards around him didn't know that he had been hit by an arrow.

(The flying arrow is cut off with a saber, and the ignorant are left and right.) ）

There were too many people on one side, and the morale of the other side was too high, and everyone didn't stop until it was dark.

At dawn the next day, Geng Yi led his troops to battle again.

No, we have to keep fighting!

At this time, Liu Xiu heard that Geng Yi and Zhang Bu were fighting fiercely in Lucheng (now Qufu, Shandong), and immediately led his troops to come to support, and he was on his way.

Knowing the news, Chen Jun persuaded Geng Yi: "Zhang Bu has too many men and horses, we might as well close the camp for the time being, and when the emperor arrives, it will not be too late to fight again." ”

Geng Yi didn't agree at all, and replied sharply: "How can that work?" The emperor is coming, and we, as courtiers, should slaughter cattle and prepare wine, greet the holy driver, and comfort the officials

, how can you leave the enemy to the emperor to fight?! ”

Yes, the emperor is here, we should welcome and comfort well, how can we leave the rough and heavy work to the emperor to do?!

Everyone must know that Geng Yi has been seriously injured, I wonder if he can take care of the medicine?

Let's fight!

Geng Yi waved his division to fight, motivating the soldiers, and touching more with less.

When he met Geng Yi, Zhang Bu could only admit that he was unlucky.

It was a terrible battle.

Geng Yi led his troops to fight to the death, and Zhang Bu only took the call.

The two sides attacked and defended each other, Geng Yi once pressed Lao Zhang to fight, and Lao Zhang also entered the city for a time. has been tug-of-war many times, and no one cares about eating.

The two sides fought from morning to dusk, and no one could eat, and Geng Yi hit Lao Zhang again.

Inside and outside Linzi City, there are corpses of Lao Zhang's men everywhere. In addition to the streets and alleys, even the ditches in and out of the city were filled.

(It is a great war of troops, from the end to the faint, and the great destruction of it; Countless kills and wounds, and the ravines are full. ）

Ordinary people have won to this point, they should rest and take medicine, but Geng Yi is not an ordinary person, not an ordinary general. According to himself one

It is impossible to complete the work without completely defeating the enemy.

Geng Yi expected that Zhang Bu had been beaten to the point that he had no power to fight back, and he would definitely flee, so he immediately deployed to fight again. His own team is "asking Zhang Jun"!

He focused on the only way for Lao Zhang to escape, and arranged heavy troops on both sides.

When night fell, Lao Zhang really escaped quietly according to Geng Yi's design.

When he arrived at the ambush, he suddenly killed Zhang Jun! Lao Zhang was unable to resist anymore and could only run quickly.

Geng Yi was originally going to chase and kill, so let's cut it!

begged Zhang Jun to beat Lao Zhang, slashed while chasing, chased and killed eighty or ninety miles, and did not stop until he was at the edge of the water.

At this time, Lao Zhang left more corpses along the way while running, and the history called "eighty or ninety miles, zombies belong to each other." ”

In addition to letting Lao Zhang put down countless corpses, Geng Yi also asked him to put down more than 2,000 military vehicles.

Lao Zhang had no temper, and he relied on himself to run fast to save his life and run back to Xixian County, while his brothers were beaten to death.

In the battle of Linzi, Geng Yi was seriously wounded, but the Zhang army led by him fought a beautiful battle of annihilation with fewer victories and won a complete victory.

Although Zhang Bu personally escaped, the elite troops he relied on to get out of the mix were completely lost, and his brothers were also scattered. Of course, at the same time, he lost face.

In this battle, Geng Yi's courage, strategy, pride, and even action style have been intensively expressed.

It's just a pity that historians don't pay enough attention to the Battle of Linzi, so that this classic case in the history of my affairs is not well-known.

Welcome everyone to pay attention to Geng Yi and the battle of Linzi!
