Chapter 65: The Battle of the Western Route Army
94 Chapter 65 The Battle of the Western Route Army
※ In October of the second year of Lian'an, Jiang Zhe, the commander of the 20th Route Army, led 25,000 troops to join Li Tong and the tiger and leopard cavalry, and then marched west to Lushan and confronted Zhang Xiujun in the city.
On the same day, Cao Cao summoned 13,000 soldiers, with the general Xiahou Mourning as the commander, Guo Jia as the military advisor, and Xu Chu, Le Jin, Li Dian, and Yu Ban as the auxiliaries, and went to Guangling, Xuzhou to support Chen Deng.
In this way, Jiang Zhe and Guo Jia respectively commanded the soldiers and horses of the east and west, Cao Cao was relieved, and the next day, Xun You was sent as an envoy to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu summoned Xun You in the Runan Assassin Mansion.
Yuan Shu has always been at odds with Cao Cao, and has suffered several big losses in his hands, if it is the usual, I am afraid that he will not see Xun You, but now that Cao Cao has become the target of the public, he is abnormally summoned the envoy sent by Cao Cao. wants to show his generosity to the world, but this person was born with a small family, since he summoned Xun You, why did he place so many sword and axe hands in the mansion?
With a sneer in his heart, Xun You's eyes didn't squint, as if he couldn't see Yuan Shao's corporal staring at each other, and strode into the hall. He bowed to Yuan Shu, who was sitting high in front of him, and called out, "Xun You has seen the general, the general is well!" ”
"Hehe" Looking at Xun You, whose face was as usual, Yuan Shu felt a little admiration in his heart, raised his hand and said mockingly, "Cao Mengde is difficult to protect himself now, and he also has the leisure to send you here to visit this general?" ”
"What the general said is wrong" Xun You shook his head, looked at Yuan Shao with his hands outstretched, and pretended to be puzzled and said, "My lord and the general are old acquaintances, and it is okay to send you to meet the general."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?" Yuan Shu sneered and said lightly, "Didn't Cao Mengde hear that General Ben sent troops to fight against him, and he was afraid in his heart, so he sent you to ask for peace?" Hahaha! Speaking of the back, Yuan Shu looked sarcastic.
"The general is so happy at the moment, I hope it will be the same in the future!" Xun You said lightly.
"Huh?" Yuan Shu frowned. The fox asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Xun You originally wanted to make Yuan Shu suspicious and ask questions, so that he could say it in words, but now seeing that he was really a problem, he smiled faintly and arched his hand and said, "I don't know if there is a national weapon in the general's hands?" ”
The national weapon, the artifact of the country, in other words, is the jade pendant!
Only frowned and glanced at Xun You, Yuan Shu was shocked in his heart: How does this person know that I have an artifact in my hand?
Shouyi, worthy of Shouyi" Just looking at Yuan Shu's face, Xun You already understood a little in his heart, shook his head and smiled, "Why should the general be surprised, who in the world doesn't know about this matter, who doesn't know?" ”
Hum! Everyone knows it? Absurd! Yuan Shu understood that Xun You was afraid that he would kill people in order to hide people's eyes and ears, so he issued a warning.
"Cao Mengde sent you here, what is the so-called?" was disturbed by Xun You's words, and Yuan Shu had no patience to talk to Xun You anymore.
Looking at Yuan Shu's complexion, Xun Yu understood that his words had worked, smiled slightly, retracted his smile, and said, "This trip is for the general!" ”
"But come and tell me to quit?" Yuan Shu sneered.
Glancing at Yuan Shu, Xun You spread out his hands and said with a light smile, "Let me ask the general, this launch of an army to attack my lord is beneficial to the general?" ”
"How can you use benefits to conquer national thieves?" Yuan Shu replied lightly.
"I'm afraid that's not what the general thinks in his heart, right?" Xun You's face hung a few wisps of playful smiles, and he arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask the general, who is the most powerful so far?" ”
glanced at Xun Yu lightly. Yuan Shu shouted in a deep voice, "Do you want to talk about my brother Yuan Benchu?" Xun Gongda, I respect you and you are also a famous person in the world, but if you don't know what to do. No matter how important it is, then don't blame me for being rude! ”
"Why did the general say that? When did you say that it was Yuan Yizhou? Xun You looked surprised and said strangely, "Don't you think the general." Is the most powerful person in Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng now? ”
Yuan Shu opened his mouth. With a face full of embarrassment, he coughed and asked, "Do you want to say that the Son of Heaven and the Dragon Emperor have returned to heaven, and now that he comes, Liu Biao, who is a relative of the Han Dynasty, can continue to be orthodox?" ”
Compared with the juice day, now only Liu Jingsheng is the most likely"
"Haha, that's the case. The one who has a headache is your lord Cao Mengde. What's my business? Yuan Shu laughed and said, and then suddenly saw Xun You's playful smile, his heart moved, and his face suddenly sank.
"If there is no national jade hope, how can Liu Biao continue his throne?" Xun You laughed.
"It's just a little hope. What if you give it to Liu Biao? Looking at Xun You, Yuan Shu said lightly.
"Is the general really willing?" Xun Shu asked playfully.
Only Yuan Qiu frowned. He struggled in his heart, then glanced at Xun You, and said, "Are you sure that I won't be like this?" ”
"No, no, no" Xun You shook his head and replied, "It's just that it's not worth it for the general, if there are six soldiers and horses who want to try for my lord today, in addition to the general, there are five ways, even if my main army is defeated, how much benefit can the general get from it?" ”
"Liulu, hehe, Cao Mengde also counted my brother? Haha, it's really funny that day to hand, and now it's a war that wants to start a fight! Go on, I want to see what you say about my retirement! ”
"It's not that the general retreats" Xun You shook his head and said softly, "My main army is defeated, if the land is taken by Yuan Yizhou, the general and Yuan Yizhou are one family, and it will be no big problem; However, if Jingzhou Liu Biao takes the opportunity to take it. And how? At this moment, the hearts of the people in the world are to him, if he asks the general for an artifact in the future, will the general give it? ”
Who said that I and Yuan Benchu were the same family? Yuan Shu frowned. He shouted in a low voice, "I see, but you didn't come to say that I was withdrawing from the army, but you wanted me to lead troops to attack Liu Biao, this is what you said, "Think for me?." Hehe, today I will attack Liu Biao, and tomorrow I will be like your lord Cao Mengde, the enemy of the world! ”
"Is the general afraid?" Xun You laughed and said, "My lord is not afraid" But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Shu with words.
"Hugh provokes me with words! Cao Apu has always been bold, how could I not know? You have waited for a few times to do a bad thing for me, and now you have the face to talk about me again? "※ stunned, Gong Nian said so, I hope that the general will handle the aftermath as soon as possible."
"Presumptuous!" Yuan Shu's face turned red and shouted angrily, but Xun Yu's face did not change, and he still arched his hand and said, "Isn't it?" Now the general's east and west are suppressed by Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou and Sun Bofu of Jiangdong, and at this moment, because of my lord, the princes of the two roads are not generals. If my lord is not there, what will the general want? In the next word, here, retire! ”
"Wait!" Seeing Xun You turn around and want to leave, Yuan Shu waved his hand to stop, and the fox asked, "Cao Agui." Is there confidence that he can defeat the princes of the Six Roads? ”
"Six roads and no support, five roads can be done!" Xun You replied with a smile, "If the general has the leisure to think about my lord's affairs." It's better to think about where the general will plan first after Liu Biao and Sun Ce's army are defeated! ”
After looking at Xun You deeply, Yuan Shu sighed and said, "Jun Zhi said that he is really not under Jiang Shouyi, you go back and tell Cao Apu, if he is defeated, I should take Xu Du directly; If he is still undefeated against the other five roads, I will take the opportunity to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and go to the princes of that road for him! ”
"The general is high, thank you on behalf of my lord!" Xun You bowed his hand and bowed.
"Humph! Not for you, but for myself! Yuan Shu sneered, got up and shouted, "You go back and hide it from Cao A, don't think that you are friends with my brother, so you let your guard down." That guy has always been indecisive, and he really has no plan in his heart, if someone is admonishing him. He will definitely send troops! Go ahead! ”
"Thank you, General" Xun You waved his hand, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Yuan Shu's question behind him.
Only,, that Jiang Shouyi, send troops to the West Road or the East Road? ”
"Don't worry about the general." Xun You turned around and bowed, and said with a smile. "The soldiers and horses on the west road are righteous and arbitrary, and the soldiers and horses on the east road are filial piety, or east or west, the general can take all the way, Sichuan said, seeing that Yuan Shu's face was slightly embarrassed, and he retreated when he saw the opportunity.
Road? If you only want to go all the way, wouldn't you be ashamed of being disgraced to me? Looking at Xun You's departing back, Yuan Shu sneered.
After this day, Yuan Shu really stationed troops in Dingcheng, Cai, and Ye Sancheng, and did not move, in this regard, Yingyang City guarded Xiahou Yuan, Nandun City guarded Xizhicai was quite puzzled, and when Cao Cao's document arrived, he was able to solve the doubts in his heart.
Therefore, Yuan Shu is a soldier all the way, Naiping!
At the same time, Jiang Zhe led the soldiers and horses on the West Road. It is also directly outside Lushan City!
It was getting late. Jiang Zhenai ordered Cao Hong to set up a camp twenty miles southeast of Lushan Mountain, and sent Cao Chun to lead 3,000 tigers and leopards to patrol the nearby area, and then led Zhao Yunxiao, Li Tong, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and more than 1,000 soldiers to go outside Lushan City to test Zhang Xiu's reality.
Some people are not used to wearing the armor and stomach given by Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe changed into a Confucian shirt and came out, anyway, the point will have passed, and the walk has passed, why walk around wearing a suit of armor all day long?
Lushan, only the city, there are only three or two hundred households in the city, and there are only three or four thousand people when it is full, and the city wall, even if it is compared to Jiang Zhena's mansion, is not much higher.
With his left hand driving the ** horse, and his right hand pressing the "Heavenly Sword" on his waist, Jiang Zhe turned his head to look at the four generals and asked with a smile. "Ladies and gentlemen, according to your opinion, how should this city be planned?"
Before saying his plan, Jiang Zhe always had to ask other people's suggestions first, so as not to think it out of his own consideration, most of the generals under Cao Cao's command knew about this, and they respected Jiang Zhe in their hearts.
"Why don't you encircle three and one?" Xu Huang said hesitantly.
"It's a good plan. But," Li Tong said with a grin, pointing to the low city wall and sneering, "With such precautions, we will lead an army to attack and conquer it in an instant!" ”
"Assault?" Jiang Zhe looked at Li Tong with a strange expression, and Li Tong remembered that it was because he had touched Zhang Xiu that he had already folded a few times, but now he was waiting for a sin, and then he smiled, quite embarrassed and disturbed.
The other three generals smiled in their hearts, and Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said, "Sir, while the camp has not yet been established, why don't I wait to go and describe the battle." To test the reality of Zhang Xiu's army, is it good? ”
"Good!" Although there are only more than a thousand people around Jiang Zhe now, there are four fierce generals here, and there are three thousand tigers and leopards riding patrols not far away, how can they be afraid? He immediately ordered, "Gongming, Wenyuan, Wenda, the three of you lead five hundred troops to test it!" ”
"Yes! The last general commands! Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Li Tong responded to the order, and then led half of the soldiers here towards Lushan, and after a while, Li Tong realized that he seemed to have forgotten one thing, and then turned his horse's head, and went straight to Zhao Yun's side and said, "Zilong, I have fought with that Zhang Xiu, looking at his marksmanship, it seems to be very similar to you."
"Huh?" Zhao Yun was a little moved, frowned slightly, and said secretly: Shizun once said, I have two senior brothers, could it be that
And just when Jiang Zhe and the others peeked at Lushan Xu, in Lushan City, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu also climbed high to look at Jiang Zhe and others.
"That person is Jiang Zhe and Jiang Shouyi Butterfly," Zhang Xiu asked with a smile.
Jia Xu rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "Neither the lord nor Xu have ever seen this person, this lord asked, how can Xu answer?" ”
"Huh? Hehe. It's too," Zhang Xiu smiled, and then said intently. "But the tiger and leopard in this army's army is really terrifying, and the five thousand soldiers under my command can't hurt a single person in this army,"
"The lord is wrong, the truth is not so" Jia Xu shook his head and explained Zhang Xiu's doubts, "Although the tiger and leopard ride is brave, it is never. It is not invincible, that day is that I am unprepared, and it is close to it, so this military talent is this full merit, if we had known that this army was coming, and secretly designed to be in front, no one was injured? How can there be such a strange army in the world? ”
"I see" Zhang Xiu nodded, and then asked, "Wen He has a clever plan in mind to defeat this army?" ”
I saw Jia Xu frowning and glancing into the distance, and when he saw the man in a cyan shirt on the high slope, he said hesitantly. "If it is an ordinary general, he can say a good plan in a moment, but this person is also a wise person. I don't know his temperament, how do I calculate? ”
As he was talking, the soldiers at the city gate hurriedly arrived, clasped their fists and said, "My lord, there are Cao soldiers and horses outside the city who are coming to fight!" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Xiu fixed his eyes and looked at it, if he saw the three generals, he would lead hundreds of soldiers
1。 Ji Cao Zhan, stunned in his heart, said in his mouth. "Zhongjiang Shouyi is not afraid of my dumb child. Capture him alive? ”
Hearing this, Jia Xu said lightly, "If you want to come here, the three thousand tigers and leopards are not far from here, so this person is so trusted" The lord may wish to go out of the city to test Cao Jiang's strength."
"Really?" Zhang Xiu asked with wide eyes.
"And I, I'll take a closer look at Jiang Zhe here" Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Xiu, and said the rest of the words with a tense face.
Seeing that Jia Xu was a little angry on his face, Zhang Xiu sneered and hurriedly held a spear. Go downstairs and out of town.
The lord looked at the figure of Zhang Xiu leaving below, Jia Xu looked at the sky, sighed gloomily, shook his head and muttered. Benevolence, sincerity, and kindness, this person can not be said to be the master, but he has no enterprising heart, so what can he do? ”
It is said that Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Li Tong were ordered by General Jiang Zhe to lead troops to Lushan City to fight.
Seeing Zhang Xiu, Li Tong whispered to Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, "This person is Wancheng Zhang Xiu!" ”
"Hmm!" Xu Huang nodded, stepped forward, and shouted heavily, "It's Zhang Xiu?" Innocent offenders of my borders, kill my soldiers, and deserve to be punished for evil! But if you are obedient at this time. I can also speak kindly to the Lord and forgive you! ”
"Presumptuous!" Zhang Xiu's subordinate Hu Che'er scolded angrily, "Your lord Cao Mengde." It is the first evil to kill the son of today, and such a thief who steals the country, why should my lord raise an army against your lord? ”
"Bold!" Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Li Tong shouted angrily.
Waving his hand to stop Hu Che'er, Zhang Xiu shook a gun with a gun, and asked Lehehe, "Who are you?" Can you please let me know? ”
"Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, Yang County, Hedong!"
"Yanmen Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan!"
"Nanyang Li Tong, Li Wenda!"
"I see. Zhang Xiu nodded, and then hugged his fists and said, "In the next Zhang Xiu, I won't say anything else today, just learn martial arts, okay?" ”
"Huh?" Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Li Tong looked at each other, a little unpredictable, and after hesitating, Zhang Liaoce stepped forward immediately. Holding the hook and sickle, he looked at Zhang Xiu and shouted in a low voice, "Please advise!" ”
"How dare you" Zhang Xiulang smiled, and also stepped forward, and after taking a closer look at Zhang Liao, he nodded secretly in his heart: This person has eyes and extraordinary momentum, I am afraid that he is a general under Cao Mengde!
But having said that, Zhang Xiu's heart is becoming more and more excited, because of this person's martial arts since childhood, he likes this very much, but there are too few enemies against him, even Hu Che'er, who is called a brave general, is not the enemy of Zhang Xiu's ten moves when he is serious.
At the moment, holding the spear in his hand across his chest, Zhang Xiu shouted in a low voice, "That's it." Be careful! After that, he slammed the horse's belly, and the horse suddenly stepped forward in pain, and with horsepower, Zhang Xiu swept away
"Good time!" Zhang Liao shouted, holding the hook sickle in both hands, while blocking Zhang Xiu's attacking gun, but on the other hand, he turned his body and slashed at Zhang Xiu with another knife, which was like a thunderbolt, stirring up a gust of wind.
"Good guys!" Seeing this, Zhang Xiu's heart was even more warlike, and he laughed, and the gun's momentum unfolded, which suddenly aroused the shadow of the gun.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
In an instant, the two generals had already fought back and forth on horseback, but the wave of qi generated by the collision of the two weapons was stronger than a wave.
"This embroidery is so strong?" Xu Huang said in astonishment, he obviously knew Zhang Liao's strength.
"I've fought against him," Li Tong frowned and said with embarrassment, "This person is very fast, and I am not his opponent."
As he was talking, Zhang Xiu yelled in the field, "Zhang Wenyuan is careful!" After that, I heard a cacophony of sounds. As if thousands of birds were chirping, the front means of the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and he saw the shadow of the spear. But he didn't see where the gun was.
Zhang Liao was shocked. The dual-wielding hook and sickle protected his chest, gritting his teeth and slashing at those spear shadows, and at the same time, Zhao Yun, who was beside Jiang Zhe, was also shocked, and exclaimed, "Hundred birds towards the phoenix spear!" ”
"What" what gun? Jiang Zhe was startled by Zhao Yun and stammered and asked.
Seeing that he was out of shape, Zhao Yun hurriedly confessed, and then hesitated and said, "Sir, it seems that it has some relationship with Yun, and Rong Mo will go over to test it."
Zhao Yun knows Zhang Xiu? Jiang Zhe was a little curious in his heart, nodded and said1, "So, you go."
Shi Jiangzhe clenched his fists, and Zhao Yun rushed into the formation.
And at this moment in the array. Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao are fighting more and more fiercely, as if they can't restrain their strength, and when they stay behind, they are no different from a death fight, and the blades are all towards the other party.
"Suffered!" When his spear was heading towards the other party's door, Zhang Xiu suddenly woke up, and at the same time, Zhang Liaoshuo, who was swinging a knife and slashing at Zhang Xiu's waist, was also shocked, but the strength of the two was difficult to withdraw
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a horse bell, and then a silver spear went straight between Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao, picking and plucking, and the two of them were bounced away.
Zhang Xiu was shocked. When he raised his eyes and looked at the person who came, he saw that the person was wearing white armor and holding a silver spear, looking at him with a complicated expression, and hurriedly asked, "Who is here?" Get your name in! ”
Looking at Zhang Xiu deeply, Zhao Yun hugged his fists and replied, "Changshan Zhao Zilong!" ”
And on the other side. Jia Xu kept looking at Jiang Zhe's movements, and when he saw him riding his horse back and forth, peeking at the reality in Lushan City, he sneered in his heart, how could he get it? Want to raid the city? Hehe, if you do this, I should want you to have no return!
At the same time, Jiang Zhe looked at Lu Shan and muttered, "This Lu Mountain, it's just a heavily guarded place, and it's dilapidated?" Well, when Wen Ruo recovers, he will definitely allocate some money to repair."
Fan: Tomorrow I will take a day off depending on the situation, and I will revise the outline on this day. One side of the code word, all the time to the early morning, the last three days, only sleep three or four hours, some can't stand it, if tomorrow is too sleepy, take a day off, look at everyone Haihan,
