Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya, was born a well-known scholar, and he has always adhered to the attitude of "usable but not credible" to subordinates like Xu Xi. In particular, Xu Xi participated in the mutiny of the rebel lord Cao Cao in Yanzhou, which made Xiao Jian secretly take more precautions against Xu Xi. It's just that Xiao Jian has never paid enough attention to martial artists, and there are really no generals under his command who can get it, so Xu Xi can continue to stay in the county soldiers.

With such an attitude of the boss, Xu Xi's life in Ju County will certainly not be too comfortable. Especially when Xiao Jian's mother was over sixty years old and had a birthday in the county, Xiao Jianquan invited the leading figures in Langya Country and invited Xu Xi's two colleagues Sima to them, but Xu Xi was left behind.

Xu Xi was born as a ranger, and he would draw his sword against each other if he didn't agree with him, so his temperament was naturally not too good, and he looked at the problem of face very important. Xiao Jian said that he had a shallow relationship with Xu Xi, so he didn't need to invite this person. He didn't expect that this would be a great shame for Xu Xi.

The despised Xu Xi was furious, and something big happened in Ju County. Xu Xi, who had a rebellious experience, immediately rebelled in his heart. From this point of view, Xiao Jian's judgment is actually correct, and Xu Xi is indeed not credible. It's just that since he knew that Xu Yi was unreliable, he didn't do anything to remedy it, which made Xiao Jian's final fate very bad.

Although Xu Xi was temporarily rebellious, he was not a fool. Just with the little strength under his command, it was really not enough to shake Xiao Jian, who had deep roots in Ju County. Therefore, Xu Xi set his sights on Zang Ba, who had recently garrisoned Mount Tai.

Zang Ba's personality, Xu Xi can be trusted. Under Xu Xi's prodding, Zang Ba pushed the boat down the river and Xu Xi made a plan for a surprise attack on Ju County. With Xu Xi's internal response, Zang Ba, a master-level city stealer who is good at surprise attacks, smoothly completed the raid on Xiao Jian in Ju County and successfully occupied Ju County. And smoothly slashed Langya Xiang Xiao Jian.

The only regret is that during the siege of the city, Neiying Xu Xi was shot in the eye by a cold arrow flying from nowhere. Due to the lack of timely rescue, he died of serious injuries a few days later. However, this point has no effect on Zang Ba at all.

Before conquering Ju County. Zang Ba sent someone to inform Zhang Yan of this very sure surprise attack. At this time, the arrogance is patrolling the newly acquired Qingzhou. As soon as he heard Zang Ba's plan to attack Ju County, Zhang Yan immediately ended his inspection, led the personal guards to Linzi City overnight, and sent messengers to inform the garrisons in various places to move in advance.

In his arrogant plan, he originally planned to send a large army to attack the south when Qingzhou was a little settled. As for whether to choose Xuzhou or Yanzhou, Zhang Qiang prepared a plan in his heart. Be prepared to act when the time comes.

This time, Zang Ba unexpectedly attacked Juxian, although it disrupted the arrogant plan a little, but it also created a pretty good opportunity. And because of the early preparations, the attack was advanced for a while, and the overall impact on the arrogance was not great. In general, if you can effectively seize the opportunity of Zang Ba to capture Ju County, it will obviously be of great help to the arrogant southward strategy.

Since it was decided to do it. Zhang Qi did not hesitate and launched the original plan to go south in advance. Thereupon. From Jizhou to Qingzhou, in a radius of thousands of miles, the county officials under the rule of Zhang Qiang took active action, and began to concentrate troops and transport grain to Gaotang City in Pingyuan County and Linzi City in Qi State in accordance with the requirements ordered from the state pastor's office.

Such a big move. Naturally, it is impossible to hide the detailed work of the southern princes in Jizhou and Qingzhou. It's just that, with the way information was transmitted at that time, it would take days or even more than ten days for these messages to reach the eyes of the southern princes. However, Zhang Qiang did not wait for the soldiers and grain and grass in the rear to be mobilized, and at the same time as mobilization. On the one hand, an army of 20,000 with Yu Ban as the main general and Guan Yu as the vanguard was dispatched from Linzi to the south and went straight to the key point of Donghai County, Tancheng, where Xuzhou Prefecture was located!

Of course, it is better to expect the 20,000-strong army of the commander of the forbidden command to conquer Tancheng with Lu Bu in hand. In order to prevent Yanzhou and Yuzhou from sending a large army in time to rescue Lu Bu in Xuzhou, Zhang was arrogant in that after the forbidden army was dispatched, he once again sent the cavalry corps of Li Dao and Guo Yan stationed in the area of Jinan to insert from the junction of Taishan County and Jibei in Yanzhou, and attack Dongping and Rencheng in the south, and finally enter Peiguo to stir up the surrounding situation and interfere with Yanzhou and Yuzhou and other places, and may provide reinforcements to Xuzhou.

Although Li Dao Guo Yan's department is good at fighting, after all, the number of people is limited. It should not be difficult for them to contain the reinforcements of the southern princes. However, we can't expect Li Dao and Guo Yan to go out this time, and they will be as lucky as attacking Yuan Tan's second ancestor, and they will break through the enemy's key fortified fortress at once. Therefore, after Li Dao Guo Yan went to war, Zhang Qiang then appointed his righteous brother Xie Xun as the main general, commanding another army that had just been assembled, and marched south along the border line of Taishan County, intending to block the communication between Xuzhou and the eastern princes.

After the army of Yu Ban, Xie Xun, Li Guo and others was in place, and then in the first half of the month, Zhang Qiang led the main force of the concentrated Jizhou Army of 30,000 people to the south and joined the battlefield in the area of Donghai County and Pengchengguo. In this way, counting the tens of thousands of horses sent before, Zhang Qiang will strive to use the superior forces at hand to completely finish Lu Bu's hard bone in a battle!

Xuzhou Mu Lu Bu, as a hard bone in the eyes of insolence, naturally has the consciousness of hard bones. After receiving the news of the fall of Langya, Lu Bu, who had been waiting for battle for a long time during this time, immediately mobilized the main force of his state and county soldiers, gathered his nominal subordinates, and his actual allies Cao Bao, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Bao Xin and others, and dispatched a total of 25,000 troops to the north, wanting to take advantage of Zang Ba's unstable foothold to recapture Juxian in one fell swoop.

In this way, Guan Yu, who was the vanguard of the south, was fifty miles outside the city of Juxian County, and met Gao Shun, the vanguard of Lu Bujun.

If you want to talk about Gao Shun, this is also an old martial artist, who has been in the army for 20 years. It's a pity that his luck as an official has never been good. In the battle of Guangzong City during the "Yellow Turban Rebellion", Gao Shun was already a famous warrior in the Northern Army. However, in the Battle of Guangzong, the official army was defeated due to Zhang Jiao's "thunder" method, and Gao Shun was seriously injured in this battle and had to be sent back to Luoyang to recuperate. Later, the northern army rebelled against the Qiang people in the west, and Gao Shun followed Zhou Shen, a general who specialized in defeat, but was seriously injured again and returned to Luoyang.

Due to several serious injuries, Gao Shun's official position was naturally impossible to promote. Therefore, before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Gao Shun had not changed his position for five or six years, which can be said to be an inopportune time.

When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to seize power, because Gao Shun was not from the Liangzhou department, he was sent by Dong Zhuo to serve as Sima under the newly emerging cavalry captain Lu Bu, and after Lu Bu "killed" Dong Zhuo, he was driven away from Chang'an by the Liangzhou rebels along with Lu Bu.

However, under Lu Bu, Gao Shun, who finally came out with his qualifications, was still not proud. Because he is not from Bingzhou, Gao Shun is actually quite excluded under Lu Bu. Not to mention anything else, even Zhang Liao, who is more than ten years younger than him, is now above Gao Shun.

Moreover, as the third person in Lu Bu's army, compared to Zhang Liaolai, who directly served as the Taishou of a county and had more than 3,000 parts, the troops under Gao Shun's direct jurisdiction were only a battalion of 700 people. This is a very unfair phenomenon. Fortunately, the head of this battalion, which specializes in charging into battle, was trained by Gao Shun to be extremely strong, so that Gao Shun was barely able to maintain his position in the Xuzhou army.

This time, Lu Bu's army went north to counterattack Juxian, and Gao Shun was appointed as the vanguard, which can be regarded as the result of Lu Bu's trust in his ability. Gao Shun was the vanguard, and in addition to the 700 "trapped camps" in the headquarters, there were 1,500 people under Lu Bu's brother-in-law Wei Yue, 800 crossbowmen led by Cao Xing, a native of Bingzhou, and 1,200 people led by Xue Lan, another native of Bingzhou.

The sum of these bits and bits is about 5,000 troops, and the number is no worse than the 4,000 headquarters that Guan Yu carried.

Guan Yu wants to go south, and Gao Shun wants to go north. The strength of the two sides is equal, and they are both fierce generals on the battlefield, once they meet, there is absolutely no reason to retreat and not fight. As a result, a fierce battle became inevitable.

"On the battlefield, before you win, you should lose first. Although Gao Shun is not very famous, he is really a good general. No wonder the lord specially warned that this person should not be underestimated! ”

Guan Yu, who looked at the camp set up by Lu Bu's army and took more than a dozen personal guards out of the camp to watch the enemy's formation, said to his son Guan Ping.

Guan Yu married his wife very early. Before he met Liu Bei, he already had a son, named Guan Ping.

However, because Guan Yu killed people and died abroad, his wife had already taken her son to remarry someone else. After Guan Yu fell in love with Zhang Qi, finding his wife and children back then became an order for Zhang Qi. When Zhang Qiang's power in Bingzhou soared, Guan Yu sent his henchmen to take the opportunity to return to his hometown to find out the whereabouts of his wife and children.

The person who married Guan Yu's wife is just a commoner from a good family, where can he dare to compete with Guan Yu? Hearing Guan Yu's prestige, the man hurriedly sent his wife and son back. With such an accident, some people who don't know the details think that Guan Ping is Guan Yu's righteous son.

Guan Ping is eighteen years old this year, but under Guan Yu's careful teaching, his martial arts skills are already good. And his lord arrogantly promised that when Guan Ping reached the age of twenty, he would "ignite" him.

With this guarantee of trust, Guan Yu can fight abroad with peace of mind and fight for his family. It's just that Guan Ping is young and arrogant, disdainful of his father's shadow, and wants to go to the battlefield by himself and fight for a rich man.

Guan Yu was quite satisfied with his son's idea. Anyway, he has married several concubines over the years, and has given birth to five or six sons, but he is not worried that no one will attack him. Guan Ping was willing to come out by himself, and Guan Yu was a little worried, but he was very "relieved".

"Even if this Gao Shun is a good general, it's a pity that he can't be his master, no matter how strong he is, it's in vain!"

Guan Ping's appearance is somewhat similar to Guan Yu. His voice is in the midst of a voice change, and it sounds a bit like the voice of a male duck. Since he grew up listening to all kinds of legends about the arrogance of the lord since he was a child, Guan Ping's worship of arrogance is not a little bit! (To be continued......)
