Chapter 172, Jizhou frustration
"Lord, let the generals prepare, soon, the allies will storm here, and a fierce battle is coming." Jia Xu Huoran got up and persuaded Dong Yi.
"Hehe... I can't wait for a long time, and I have ordered the sons and daughters of the three armies to cheer me up, and defend the mountain to the death, and never let a single thief pass through here. ”
"Report, Xiliang General Hua Xiong asks to see him." The scout who was patrolling outside hurriedly rushed to Dong Yi's approach, Dong Yi was slightly stunned, "Huaxiong? What has he done here? ”
"My lord, this must be the prime minister's arrangement." Jia Xu didn't think about it, so he blurted out.
As Jia Xu expected, Hua Xiong's trip was on the orders of Hu Zhen, Dong Zhuo was worried that Dong Yi's side was short of manpower, so he not only sent Hu Zhen to support, but even Niu Fu's 30,000 troops were also sent over. ”
In Li Ru's view, the Tiger Prison Pass, Hangu Pass, and Mengjin Ferry are all not to worry, one is to help the wind guard Huangfu Song, the other is that Guo Jia dug up the water and turned the Tiger Prison Pass into a Ze country, and on the other side, there are 200,000 Black Mountain troops led by Zhang Yan, and it is very difficult for the allies to break through from these three places, but on Dong Yi's side, there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
After some discussion, Dong Yi's soldiers and horses continued to camp troops in the most dangerous stone ridge in the mountain, and Hu Zhen Niufu's men and horses covered on both wings.
"Report, Cao Cao's men and horses are less than eighty miles away from Panlong Ridge."
"Report, Sun Jian's men and horses are less than ninety miles away from here."
Cao Cao and Sun Jian escaped from the Tiger Prison Pass as fast as possible, and the speed of their march far exceeded that of the rest of the princes, so they were getting closer and closer to Dong Yi's side, Dong Yi listened to the news brought by the scout, his eyebrows tightened, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Cao Cao? I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, this time, new hatred and old hatred, just come to understand it thoroughly. ”
"Newspaper. Cao Cao's men and horses suddenly disappeared. Just when Dong Yi was thinking about a life-and-death showdown with Cao Cao, Cao Cao's thousands of men and horses suddenly disappeared out of thin air, which made Dong Yi and Jia Xu frown.
As soon as he entered the mountain realm, not only Cao Cao felt uneasy. The accompanying strategist Xun Yu Xun Yu did not advocate Cao Cao to go deep rashly, Cao Cao immediately ordered to turn around and hide in the depths of the nearby hills, so that Xiahou Yuan personally led the scout camp to explore and monitor every move around at any time. Although Cao Cao's men and horses have always taken the lead in the war and are not afraid of death, this time, Cao Cao was deeply encircled, and Cao Cao had to be more careful.
Cao Cao suddenly disappeared, Sun Jian was not as treacherous as Cao Cao, and directly led 20,000 elite soldiers into the mountain, although the mountains on both sides were steep, and there were bursts of crow crows in his ears from time to time, and the atmosphere was very strange. There seem to be hidden mysteries everywhere in the depths of the mountains, even Sun Jian, who has been fighting all the year round, is a little uneasy, but now he is surrounded on three sides, only this side has never moved, even if there is an ambush, Sun Jian wants to break through.
"Lord, the scouts didn't find Cao Cao's men, I see. Let's stop and wait here, the mountains and rivers Qiu Ze, rushing forward, is a taboo for soldiers. You have to be on guard. Cheng Pu was old and serious, and he had always been steady, but seeing Sun Jian's insistence on entering the army, Cheng Pu hurriedly dissuaded him.
Sun Jian glanced at the steep stone walls around him disdainfully, and sneered disdainfully, "Hmph... Cao Mengde has always been treacherous, and I know what he worries about. He must have secretly hidden, he wanted us to explore the way in front of his head to see if there was an ambush, he was so improvised, virtuous, and now that we are under siege, Dong Zhuo is ambushing everywhere, even if he is cautious and careful, what can he do? If you want to break through, you can only fight hard, and there is no other way. ”
In his opinion, there must be ambushes near this mountain, but even if there are ambushes, they have to fight desperately, and they don't have the courage to desperately escape, which is undoubtedly a dream.
As soon as he rode the horse to the stone ridge, the flower horse under Sun Jian's crotch suddenly roared, and instinctively stopped moving forward, no matter how Sun Jian urged, the horse did not go forward.
Sun Jian's mount, although it is not a thousand miles of horse, is extremely psychic, feeling the uneasy atmosphere around him, the horse is using his own way to warn the owner.
"Haha... Jiangdong Erlang, all of them gave me wide eyes and cheered up. ”
A hearty and wild sneer, a few faint crows flew out of the valley that was shaking, Sun Jian's arrogance rose sharply, his face was fearless, and he urged the horse forward, and Cheng Pu Huang Gai and others behind him instinctively clenched the blades in their hands, just waiting for the ambush to kill, everyone fought to the death, Jiangdong Erlang, all bloody, never recognized the coward.
Xu Chu, who was hiding in the artemisia grass on the hillside, saw that Sun Jian's men and horses had all entered the stone ridge, and was just about to wave his hand to give an order, Hu Che'er came to Xu Chu's side through the grass like a cat, "The lord has an order, let Sun Jian's men and horses go." ”
"What?" Xu Chu's eyes widened, very surprised.
"This is the lord's order, Sun Jian's people, let it go for the time being, not far ahead, is the crossing of the Yellow River, for a while, Sun Jian will definitely not be able to escape, if he attacks now, the princes behind him will definitely be alert."
On the north side of Dong Yi's guard, there are not only mountains and rivers, but also the Yellow River moat, even if Sun Jian did not find the ambush, Dong Yi did not dare to attack, because the princes behind Sun Jian had not yet come, not to mention that Cao Cao was also vigilantly hiding, which was definitely not the result Dong Yi wanted.
"General, what's going on? Dong Yi actually let Sun Jian go. The news from the scouts made Hua Xiong grin.
"The young general must have a deep meaning, he wants to be trapped in Luoyang in the past, in the face of 60,000 elite soldiers in the state, the young general is capable of turning the tide, just one Sun Jian, how can he be put in the eyes of the young general and let it go? You must know that there is a prohibitive Yellow River crossing in front of you, even if Sun Jian's soldiers are not lacking in water-based heroes, if you want to cross the river easily, it is also very difficult, and now it is Jinfan who is guarding the Yellow River ferry, Ganning Gan Xingba, Sun Wentai, I am afraid that I will have to go through a hard battle. Hu Zhen shook his head and sighed.
Not to mention anything else, Dong Yi's prestige in the first battle of Luoyang, whether it was the Xiliang soldiers, or the Luoyang soldiers, or Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, they were all collectively convinced, although the prime minister broke with Dong Yi's father and son, but this time, it was the same goal, Hu Zhen never thought that Dong Yi would let Sun Jian go for no reason.
Clenching the hinged door knife in his hand, Hua Xiong sighed helplessly, and muttered with a grin, "Hua Xiong is just unconvinced, general, when we were in the Tiger Prison, we were defeated by Sun Jian, I really want to kill Sun Jian, and give the soldiers a shame, hey... Since the general said so, Hua Xiong had to be patient for the time being, if Sun Jian really wanted to cross the Yellow River, when the time came, I would definitely have to find the young general to theorize. ”
Knowing that Hua Xiong was holding his breath in his heart and was still resentful of the loss of the Tiger Prison, Hu Zhen just smiled bitterly and shook his head, and did not persuade him much, although the Tiger Prison was lost, Dong Zhuo did not blame him, and even praised him, but Hu Zhen still blamed himself very much in his heart, especially for Lu Bu, he became more and more suspicious.
Knowing that Sun Jian had successfully crossed the mountain, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and became more and more suspicious, "It shouldn't be, could it be that there are really no ambushes here, is it because Dong Yi has insufficient soldiers and horses?" Or was Dong Zhuo negligent for a moment and forgot to set up an ambush here? Muttering to himself, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head, beckoned the scout who reported the news to the front and asked, "Where is the front of the mountain?" ”
"Less than thirty miles, it's the Yellow River!" The scout hurriedly replied cautiously.
"By the way, Dong Yi must have set up an ambush at the crossing of the Yellow River, hey, why am I so confused that I forgot about it." Cao Cao woke up suddenly, and secretly blamed himself.
Cao Cao's startled appearance caused the soldiers around him to be stunned for a while, and Xun Yu hurriedly asked, "Lord, do you mean that neither Dong Yi nor Dong Zhuo set up an ambush in Pishan, but a guard of honor on the Yellow River, intending to completely block the retreat of the allies?" ”
"However, you will wait and see, Dong Yi's ambush will definitely be set up at the crossing of the Yellow River." Cao Cao said with a determined smile.
When the rest of the princes heard that Sun Jian had entered the mountain, they couldn't help but say, so they rushed into the mountain, Han Fu was just about to go with the army, but he was frustrated by the strategist and stretched out his hand and dragged it, "Lord, let's wait." ”
"Mr. Fu, what does this mean?" Han Fu was a little puzzled.
Frustrated Professor looked directly at Han Fu, lowered his voice, and said with a serious expression, "Why didn't Cao Cao rush into Pishan?" He must have seen the strangeness in this, surrounded by mountains and mountains, dangerous and dangerous, Dong Zhuo must have an ambush here, when the time comes, once we enter without authorization, the ambush soldiers will go out left and right, and intercept the front and back, we will die without a place to be buried, my lord, think twice. ”
"But the scout has just returned, didn't Sun Jian's men and horses pass through Bishan smoothly?" Han Fu didn't care a little, he felt that he was thinking too much.
"I'm afraid, that's where the thief comes in." Tightly brushed the goatee under his chin, and a translucent light suddenly shot out of his thin face.
Seeing that what he said was serious, Han Fu had to be cautious, at this time, in order to highlight the encirclement, although Han Fu was dazed on weekdays, he was also rarely shrewd.
"Military advisor, a good plan to lure the fish to the bait, I learned that Sun Jian passed through Bishan smoothly, and the rest of the princes, except for Cao Cao and Han Fu, all rushed over together, this battle is getting more and more lively, come, pass my order, the three armies are on strict alert, and quickly notify the second general Hu Zhen Niu Fu, and when the enemy all enter the stone ridge, they will immediately cover up and kill, and must not give the enemy a chance to breathe."
"No." A few scouts rushed out in a row, Hu Zhen Niufu received the news, all of them widened their eyes, their hearts were extremely excited, Hua Xiong even more fiercely quenched a mouthful of saliva into the palm of his hand, and then grabbed the knife bar in his hand hard, a pair of tiger eyes, fierce light scorching, that kind of eager expression of war, so that Hu Zhen on the side, double appreciation.
